Wearing fake designer clothing by members of the hip hop community goes back several decades, but hardly do we see them getting dragged for such practice. Rick Ross recently was scrutinized for his fashion offense.
Recently, fashion-centric pages on Instagram did a thorough examination of an image the Aston Martin Music rapper uploaded to IG. After their examination, they determined that his Louis Vuitton outfit and accessories were replicas.
In a post uploaded on the social media platform, Ross is pictured donning a Louis Vuitton backpack while holding two duffle bags in each hand as he walks towards a private jet. He is also wearing an LV monogram hat, sneakers and silk shorts to cap off the ensemble.

However, a few fashion pages on IG went as far as creating a side-by-side image of the real Louis Vuitton backpack in comparison to Ross’ outfit
One page used various colors to highlight the visible differences between the book bag and the two duffles Rozay was carrying and the real products designed by the French fashion house.
The two duffle bags Ross is carrying is priced between $1,900 and $3,000. The backpack costs around $3,450 on the official Louis Vuitton website. However, the bag is currently sold out online. However, no reports have confirmed the exact price the ‘Big Meech’ rapper bought his items.
Reactions criticising the rapper’s Louis Vuitton outfit have followed suit, see some of them below:

One person tweeted, “Not Rick Ross getting caught with fake Louis Vuitton,” followed by several crying laughing emojis.
Apparently, Rick Ross has a track record of stunting with faux clothing. Back in 2009, 50 Cent accused Ross of wearing cubic-zirconias instead of diamonds. Ross sternly denied those claims.
This was one of the many incidents that took place while the two rappers were beefing. Also in 2009, Ross covered the May 2009 issue of a US based magazine, on which he wore counterfeit Louis Vuitton shades.
