Netizens have harshly criticized fashion designer and actor, Elikem Kumordzi for claiming to have influenced former President John Dramani Mahama’s recent inauguration outfit.
In a social media post, Elikem posted pictures of himself wearing a red agbada with Adinkra symbols and John Dramani Mahama wearing the same outfit.
Elikem clarified in the caption that a lot of people thought he was the designer of the former president’s attire.
He explained that while he was not the designer he was pleased to have served as the inspiration for the style.
His post read:
“I can understand why everyone thought I made @officialjdmahama’s outfit that day, my phone was going off 😂. Even with the Adinkra symbols and all 🤔. But no, it wasn’t me (in Shaggy’s voice), I’m just happy to have inspired 🙏.
Congratulations again to HE @officialjdmahama. Well deserved, sir.”
However, Elikem’s assertion provoked a social media backlash with users accusing him of attempting to discredit the designer of Mahama’s clothing.
He was frequently criticized for trying to bring himself into important situations even when they had nothing to do with him.
Some people on social media even went so far as to call his statement attention-grabbing.
One user commented, “Elikem always wants to be in the spotlight. Why can’t you just celebrate the president without making it about you?” Another added, “Let the designer have their moment. This isn’t about you.”
