Davido is a Grammy-nominated afrobeat singer from Nigeria whose global fame and influence have made him synonymous with success. In an unprecedented move, the superstar recently announced the launch of his new clothing line with sports retail giant, PUMA.
The news sent shockwaves throughout the entertainment industry and has everyone talking about Davido’s newest venture. With his ever-growing popularity and genuine enthusiasm for fashion, the collaboration is bound to be a hit.
However, days after the launch of his new line, a knock-off version of the design has surfaced. Local markets in Nigeria and other parts of Africa are flooded with the copied designs, and this has stirred mixed reactions.
On one hand, some people have expressed their disappointment that these pirated copies of the items have already arrived in the market. This is a violation of intellectual property rights and an infringement on Davido’s creativity and hard work.
At the same time, some people argue that these knock-offs create competition for the original design, which could actually work in Davido’s favor in the long run.
Social media users were stunned at the swiftness of the replica and took to Twitter to react. See below:
