Celebrities shouldn’t be mocked for wearing fake designers – Zlatan Ibile

Nigerian rapper and fashion entrepreneur Zlatan Ibile has condemned the practice of calling out people for wearing fake designer items.

In a viral video, Zlatan argued that it's wrong for fashion figures to publicly mock individuals who wear replicas simply because they can't afford originals.

He explained that people who wear fakes today may eventually afford the real deal in the future.

His comments come after fashion entrepreneur Rahman Jago criticized veteran singer Oritse Femi for wearing counterfeit high fashion, and Ashluxe boss Olayinka Ashogbon called out singer Lyta for wearing fake designs from his brand.

Zlatan's stance emphasizes empathy and encourages patience for those working towards affording original items.
