Luxury watchdog calls out popular comedian for flaunting fake hermès bag

Popular Nigerian comedian AY Makun has come under scrutiny after a luxury fashion page accused him of flaunting a counterfeit Hermès bag.

AY recently shared a photo of himself rocking the designer accessory, but T20Luxury, an Instagram page known for analyzing high-end fashion items, pointed out discrepancies, claiming the bag was not authentic.

The page, which frequently highlights fake and genuine luxury pieces, urged AY to avoid promoting counterfeit fashion, emphasizing that celebrities should set an example by supporting originality.

Sharing a side-by-side comparison of AY’s bag and the original Hermès design, T20Luxury wrote:

“As a key stakeholder in the entertainment industry and a beneficiary of genuine creativity, it is more honorary to refrain from supporting the counterfeit fashion industry. Upholding authenticity is important to preserving our reputation as leaders within the Black community.”

The accusation has since created mixed reactions online, with some defending the comedian while others stressed the need for celebrities to verify their luxury purchases before showcasing them.
