A luxury detective page on Instagram has accused famous comedian AY Makun of flaunting a fake Hermès bag.
AY Makun, earlier in February, shared a photo of himself rocking a Hermès designer bag on his Instagram page.
However, reacting to the post on its official Instagram page on Sunday, T20Luxury, a popular luxury page that shares products and prices of designer wear from different brands, called AY out for flaunting a fake Hermès bag.
T20Luxury further advised the comedian to refrain from supporting brands that produce counterfeit products by patronizing them.
Sharing AY’s photo alongside another photo of the original Hermès bag, the page wrote:
“Dear AY, as a key stakeholder in the entertainment industry and a beneficiary of genuine creativity, it’s more honorable to refrain from supporting the counterfeit fashion industry. Upholding authenticity is important to preserving our reputation as leaders within the Black community.”
The development has garnered diverse reactions on the internet:
