There’s been a lot of talk about Louis Vuitton and the trendy black guys that love to wear it, lol. Before I get into anything, I want to say that I think it’s a bit silly to devote so much money to a company that you have no affiliation with or any future of having an affiliation with. BUT, don’t get me wrong, Louis Vuitton is a really nice & quality brand. So lets begin…
I’ll start with who’s not the Louis Vuitton Don: RICK ROSS
I like his music and personae but a recent allegation suggests that Rick Ross was rocking some fake Louis Vuitton merchandise in a recent magazine photo shoot for XXL. Apparently Louis Vuitton sent a concerned letter to the editor of XXL magazine:
Dear Editor:
We were dismayed to see the cover of the May 2009 issue of XXL Magazine, which features a photo of Rick Ross wearing a pair of sunglasses prominently featuring counterfeit Louis Vuitton trademarks. Because the photo has generated considerable confusion among your readers and Louis Vuitton customers among others, we feel it is important to clarify several points.
The first is that the sunglasses Mr. Ross is wearing were not made by Louis Vuitton, and in fact, are counterfeit. Louis Vuitton did not grant permission to Mr. Ross or to whoever did make the sunglasses to use our trademarks. The second is that no affiliation, sponsorship or association exists between Rick Ross or XXL and Louis Vuitton. The third is that counterfeiting is illegal.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to correct the confusion.
Sincerely,
Michael D. Pantalony, Esq.
Louis Vuitton Malletier
SMH and LOL @ Rick Ross
Next up… the second loser in the battle: Soulja Boy
Although he may have some money, and wears real Louis Vuitton, he’s still just another guy spending all his money in the store. Young and flashy, Soulja Boy has the potential to be a future Louis Vuitton Don. As of right now, though, he’s not. He was spotted recently at the LV Boutique in New York and apparently dropped $12,000 on some new Louis stuff. Check out the video:
And finally, the true Louis Vuitton Don: Kanye West
I don’t even think I need to say more… Kanye makes LV look good and actually has an affiliation with the company. So… when you buy a pair of LV sneakers that Kanye designed, he makes money. Then he gets to spend it on more Louis Vuitton, so he’s obviously winning, lol.
What do you think??
