Desmond Elliot outed by designer on Instagram for refusing to give him credit for his work

Last night, menswear designer Gentle Inspired, who was nominated for the “Fast Rising Designer of the Year” at the last Lagos Fashion Awards (LFA), took to Instagram to share screenshots of his conversations with Desmond Elliot and accused the Nollywood star and politician of not promoting his clothes as they had agreed.

A quick look at Gentle Inspired’s page shows that he has been sharing photos of Desmond Elliot wearing his clothes, and even made sure to tag Desmond in all of his posts.

But the designer snapped when, as he claims, he called Desmond Elliot about promoting his clothing like other celebrities, but their conversation led to an altercation and the furious designer took to Instagram to “shame” the Nollywood star by sharing screenshots from their private conversation.

“So this is how@desmondelliot pays me for all my suffer, sleepless nights and my hard earned money,” Gentle Inspired wrote. “This man is a wolf in sheep clothing. I’m still waiting for you to arrest me! We had an agreement you would give shout outs, tag me and give me necessary publicity but u took all my clothes, enjoy them and NEVER give me any shoutout! Is this the way you would be the Change?(sic).”

Desmond Elliot has kept mum ever since this surfaced on social media, but as Instagram users have said, this may scare away other celebrities from dealing with the designer.
