WASHINGTON – Rocawear, owned by rapper-slash-record-mogul Jay-Z, has re-posted a T-shirt reading “Occupy All Streets” on the company’s website after the shirt disappeared over the weekend.

The T-shirt drew controversy when Rocawear released a statement saying none of the proceeds of the $22 shirt would benefit the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ movement.

Jay-Z and Rocawear were accused of profiting off the protests, and the shirts were taken down.

The shirts reappeared Monday with a message saying the shirts were back ordered until Dec. 16.

The shirts first came to light after Jay-Z was photographed wearing it after a stop on his “Watch the Throne” tour.
