Megan Thee Stallion denies stealing design for Fashion Nova collab
Megan Thee Stallion has denied stealing a
design for her Fashion Nova collaboration after being accused by a designer
last week.
The designer, Aazhia, said her design was “stolen
and used in this Megan X FN collab” on Instagram, after the Body rapper’s team reached out to her
about the star wearing one of her looks to an event some time ago.
Aazhia said, “I’m very much so taken aback
by the lact of respect for another black woman! There is this tired narratibe
that the black woman is so disrespected, but we do it to each other!!!!”
Megan responded to the claim during an
interview with The Morning Hustle onTuesday.
“A lot of times, people say that they
talked to somebody from my team. I don’t know what year that was, I don’t know
who… what are you talking about? And a lot of times, they won’t even bring
me… they don’t tell me who they talking to,” Megan said, adding “If
I’ve probably never heard of you, like I’ve never seen that dress before. But
it’s been a dress that has been done a lot, like over the years. So I feel bad
that people’s initial reaction would be to just come at me like, ‘Oh, you a black
woman! You’re stealing from black women!’ And I’m like, ‘Damn, hold on, sis,
’cause like I don’t know you.’”
Megan continued, “It’s a way to come
at people. ‘Cause if it would’ve been a real misunderstanding, I would’ve never
had a problem saying, ‘I’m sorry, sis.’ I would have checked my stylist. Like
you don’t do that. That’s not right.”
The designed replied on Instagram that day
with “”I’m vexed because it’s condescending, it’s disrespectful, it’s
hypocritical. Everything that she said was addressed towards me, although we
were talking about multiple Insta boutiques.”
Megan collaboration dropped with 106 pieces
and reportedly made US$1.2 million in the first day.
