British-Nigerian rapper Skepta is taking things in stride after he was trolled online for rocking the same jacket that notorious fraudster Hushpuppi wore back in 2019.
It all began when an X user, @DavidoPolice, posted a side-by-side comparison of Skepta’s recent outfit with a throwback photo of Hushpuppi donning the exact same designer jacket. The caption implied that even from behind bars, Hushpuppi’s fashion game still outpaces many celebs.
While the post sparked laughs and debates, Skepta responded in classic Big Smoke fashion — with humour.
“Lol. One thing I will teach my pikin is to never argue with a Nigerian.”
And that was all the internet needed to go wild. Here’s how fans reacted:
• @Joshuankemz: “The thing pain you no lie!”
• @AngelosPostecog: “Why sir? Teach him to win the argument rather.”
• @numberonetweep: “You for argue na, on top agenda.”
• @Wuwaika90: “Point of correction, Big Smoke: ‘One thing I’ll teach my pikin is to never argue with a Bingo.’”
• @KhalifaRic60060: “Wetin you expect from Osaks camp? Them and sense no dey gel.”
• @yungthugon: “This picture of Big Smoke no even look like 2025.”
While some took jabs, others applauded Skepta’s chill energy and cultural connection. The fashion comparison, though light-hearted, also reignited conversations around Hushpuppi’s lavish past life, and the strong presence Nigerians have in online pop culture discourse.
Regardless, Skepta made one thing clear: you don’t win arguments with Nigerians online — you just log out gracefully.
