Aussie rapper 360 is the latest celebrity to strip down and flash his ink in support of animal rights group PETA¡¯s ¡°Ink Not Mink¡± campaign.
With the slogan: ¡°Be Comfortable In Your Own Skin and Let Animals Keep Theirs¡±, the campaign is a call to action, urging people to give fur the ¡°cold shoulder.¡±
In a behind the scenes video from the shoot, the MC says that people need to be better educated in the barbaric practices of the fur industry, describing them as ¡°f**cked up¡±. ¡°People would be outraged if we were treating humans like that, so why is it okay for animals to be treated this way?¡± Touch¨¦, 360!
The video, which should probably come with a warning message, includes some rather confronting clips of animals being executed and skinned for fashion. 360 talks viewers through the inhumane process, and doesn¡¯t hold back on the profanity, dropping the f-bomb numerous times throughout the piece.
¡°Imagine if there was another species of creature on the planet¡ and they grabbed a human, stuck something up his arse and electrocuted him, ripped [his] skin off and then started wearing it around as fashion¡ it¡¯s really creepy¡±, said the Aria-nominated rapper.
Comparing fur fashion to wearing skinned human hair on one¡¯s head, 360 suggests people ¡°just wear fake shit¡±.
The Aussie MC is just one of many tattooed celebrities to pose for PETA¡¯s Ink Not Mink campaign, joining the likes of Jane¡¯s Addiction¡¯s Dave Navarro, Linkin Park front-man Chester Bennington and Georgia rapper, Waka Flocka Flame.
360¡¯s highly anticipated new album Utopia is set to drop Friday June 13 via Forthwrite Records/EMI Music Australia, and is said to ¡°pave a musical journey through his deepest, darkest imagination,¡± by combining hip-hop with elements of pop, rock and dance.
