Fabolous has disputed N.O.R.E’s flex about being the first recipient of a new product by one of the world’s biggest luxury fashion houses.
On Tuesday (February 20), the Drink Champs host shared a series of clips on Instagram in which he unboxed a package from Louis Vuitton and showed off a pair of earphones (which he kept referring to as headphones) the brand had sent him.

“I found out that Louis’ making headphones, so I wanted to officially say I’m the first rapper with the headphones,” he said. “No disrespect, Soulja Boy, I love you.”
Pointing out the item’s rich packaging, he added: “That’s Lion King headphones right there — gold and black, baby!”

Not even an hour after the post went live, Fab hopped in the comments section of the social media post to burst his peer’s bubble with: “You’re the 1st to post it lol.”

In similar news, Tyler, The Creator shared his debut collection for the designer brand earlier this week and even took the opportunity to thank Pharrell Williams during his reveal.
The IGOR rapper took to Instagram in late February to unveil his first offering with Louis Vuitton, of which Skateboard P is the Men’s Creative Director.
