Jermaine Dupri, the renowned rapper, is standing up for his choice of attire, particularly his socks, at the recent Super Bowl event. This comes after his wardrobe became a hot topic following Usher’s highly talked about Halftime show.

The Social Media Backlash

Following the event, social media platforms were flooded with comments poking fun at JD’s outfit, particularly his schoolboy-like ensemble and ruffled socks that drew comparisons to vintage school attire. Some even humorously suggested that he only needed an apple to complete the look!

Setting the Record Straight

In response to the criticism, Jermaine Dupri took to social media to reveal the true value of his socks, which turned out to be Louis Vuitton pocket socks worth hundreds of dollars. Despite the backlash, he made it clear that he was unbothered by the jokes at the time, citing being inebriated, but is now ready to address the issue. He also sought support from Pharrell Williams, the current men’s creative director at Louis Vuitton.

Reactions and Rebuttals

Despite the revelation of the socks’ high-end origin, many fans remain unconvinced, suggesting that such designer fashion should have been left off the public stage. Meanwhile, Usher’s custom metallic Air Jordans from the same event have been widely praised and celebrated online.
