Skepta, the UK rap star, recently responded to online banter after Nigerians mocked him for wearing a jacket that controversial Nigerian figure Hushpuppi had previously rocked back in 2019.
An X user, @DavidoPolice, sparked the conversation by comparing Skepta’s recent photo to an old one of Hushpuppi in the same designer jacket — suggesting that Hushpuppi, despite being in prison, had been ahead of the style curve.
Reacting to the comparison and the trolling that followed, Skepta took it in stride with a humorous response.
He shared a lighthearted post that read:
“Lol
One thing I’ll make sure my kids know is to never argue with a Nigerian.”
His witty comeback quickly went viral, adding to the buzz surrounding the fashion flashback.
