Remember when Rick Ross wore FAKE Louis Vuitton glasses and got called out for it

[havoc00]

The XXL Editors received this letter from Louis Vuitton concerning the May 2009 cover of Rick Ross.

Dear Editor:

We were dismayed to see the cover of the May 2009 issue of XXL Magazine, which features a photo of Rick Ross wearing a pair of sunglasses prominently featuring counterfeit Louis Vuitton trademarks. Because the photo has generated considerable confusion among your readers and Louis Vuitton customers among others, we feel it is important to clarify several points.

The first is that the sunglasses Mr. Ross is wearing were not made by Louis Vuitton, and in fact, are counterfeit. Louis Vuitton did not grant permission to Mr. Ross or to whoever did make the sunglasses to use our trademarks. The second is that no affiliation, sponsorship or association exists between Rick Ross or XXL and Louis Vuitton. The third is that counterfeiting is illegal.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to correct the confusion.

Sincerely,

Michael D. Pantalony, Esq.
Louis Vuitton Malletier

Rick Ross is already used to getting called out for bootlegging something genuine and original (The Real Rick Ross's life and image. Louis Vitton).

Low key he's a Shang Tsung too.

Why be so blinded? I know yall read just like I read years ago that those shades were authentic but they were customized with real gold. The guy that made them even came out and said he customized them for Ross. So I guess when a rapper goes to get diamonds added to his AP it's fake? We all know that most upscale watch brands don't come flooded out like that right?
