On Thursday, a popular Nigerian businessman and CEO of the Ashluxe clothing brand, Yinka Ash, called out singer Lyta for wearing a fake Ashluxe shirt.
Sharing a screenshot from Lyta’s page where the singer wore an allegedly fake version of an Ashluxe shirt, Yinka Ash noted that the shirt was not from his brand.
He also warned that going forward he would be reposting anyone who wears a fake Ashluxe shirt and tags him in their post.
Reacting to his post on X, netizens were not in support of Yinka Ash’s approach as they insisted that calling out Lyta in that manner was too harsh and humiliating.
Also, many believe that Ashluxe CEO should give the artist an original Ashluxe shirt instead because he might not be aware that he got the fake.
