Nick Bosa has been enlisted for Kim Kardashian's debut Skims Mens collection, and the NFL player has attracted a lot of attention in the process. Not only has he been praised for his ripped physique and model looks, but he's also been put under scrutiny for his past controversial tweets and comments.
Kim, 43, recruited Neymar Jr and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to model her new range of shapewear, and the star has been hailed as a 'marketing genius' for tapping into an untapped market in menswear.
However, Bosa, 26, has faced backlash since some of his deleted tweets and comments resurfaced. In an interview with VIP Television in 2016, Bosa said he didn't like Beyonce because 'she has to make everything such a big political statement'. He also branded her music 'trash', and expressed his admiration for Donald Trump, describing him as 'charming'.
The San Francisco 49er star later apologised and explained why he deleted some of his old tweets, saying: ‘There is a chance I might end up in San Francisco.’ His comments about Colin Kaepernick also caused a stir, prompting Bosa to retract his statement and apologise.
Fans of Kim's Skims Mens collection were shocked to find out about Bosa's past comments, with some retracting their fandom of the NFL player. One fan joked: ‘I feel for the women out there that have to look at Nick Bosa half nude on their timelines today. Just know that I am aware that none of you want to see that filth and I stand by you during this tough time.’
Kim expressed her excitement for the launch of Skims Mens, saying: ‘The expansion into the menswear space is a major milestone for the brand, and a testament to SKIMS’ commitment to providing solutions for everybody. I am incredibly excited about this next chapter for SKIMS and cannot wait for everyone to experience our amazing range of products.’
