Puma ditches deal with Professor Green
Puma has ditched its association with rapper Professor Green following a turbulent period in the star’s career.
Axed: Puma has ended its deal with Professor Green
Puma signed Professor Green up as a social ambassador in 2011 and the 30 year old’s collaboration with the brand resulted in two seasons of the rapper’s Honey Badger clothing range, which included branded jumpers, t-shirts and accessories.
According to the Daily Mirror’s sources, Professor Green was in extended talks to launch another collection but Puma decided to axe the deal last month.
A Puma spokeswoman was quoted as saying: “I can confirm that Puma and Professor Green haven’t extended the agreement to produce a new collection in 2014.”
In November last year, Professor Green was arrested on suspicion of drink driving, and later arrested for attempting to pervert the course of justice.
