Adewale Adeleke, the elder brother of Nigerian music star Davido, has stirred up conversations on social media after issuing a stern warning about wearing fake designer items.
In a recent tweet, Adewale expressed that it is unwise to wear counterfeit designer goods, stating that they are easily recognizable.
His post, seemingly made without any prior context, led many netizens to speculate whether he was subtly shading anyone in particular or simply making a public service announcement. However, the tweet was met with a wave of criticism from users who felt Adewale was being insensitive to those who cannot afford original designer items.
Responses varied widely, with some users voicing their discontent. One user, @bob_dave00, pointedly remarked,
E better for you no mean say e better for others sr. Fake or no fake we dai use am cover nakedness,” referencing the biblical Adam and suggesting that everyone should be allowed to wear what they can afford without judgment.
Others chimed in with similar sentiments. @kiddiesthrift questioned,
Is that ur problem? Dem borrow from u buy fake? Bro abeg rest..Cho Cho Cho family.” @mamamia1674 added, “Abeg shut up, e cover body abi e no cover? Na so Una go dey make people feel bad for buying wat dey can afford,” highlighting how societal pressures can negatively impact individuals.
User @being_mercy stated,
Because you have life and was born into it at the finest platter, doesn’t mean everyone does. Allow people cut their coat according to the body size,” while @olanrewaju expressed disbelief at Adewale’s concern, saying, “What’s his business regarding this? Let people wear anything they want to as long as he’s not feeding them.”
On a more philosophical note, @larryforeman007 added,
Fake brands are brands in their own right… Don’t overthink fashion. Wear what suits you, brings you peace, and fits your budget.”
