A fashion designer ‘Gentle Inspired’, who was nominated for the “Fast
Rising Designer of the Year” at the last Lagos Fashion Awards (LFA),
has taken to his Instagram page to put actor turned politician Desmond
Elliot on blast for what can be described as social fraud.
According to the designer, Desmond Elliot has been wearing his designs but haven’t given him necessary publicity as agreed.
In some photos shared by the designer on his Instagram page, the
actor and film director is seen
dressed in what appears to be designs by
‘Gentle Inspired’.
The up and coming designer in his complaints has claimed he has been
begging the celebrity for recognition on social media but has gotten
none till date even though he enjoys wearing outfits by ‘Gentle
Inspired’.
It’s unclear if Desmond Elliot, who was elected as a lawmaker of the
Lagos State House of Assembly, Surulere Constituency, in the April 11,
2015 Nigerian general elections, paid for any of the designs, but the
designer has alleged that Desmond Elliot threatened to have him arrested
over several verbal attacks he has received from the designer.
Sharing several screenshots of his conversation with Desmond, he
wrote: “So this is how @desmondelliot pays me for all my suffer,
sleepless nights and my hard earned money. This man is a wolf in sheep
clothing. I’m still waiting for you to arrest me! We had an agreement
you would give shout outs, tag me and give me necessary publicity but u
took all my clothes, enjoy them and NEVER give me any shoutout! Is this
the way you would be the Change?(sic).”
If this is true, then its wickedness.
