Skepta Fires Back as DavidoPolice Links Him to Hushpuppi’s 2019 Style

• Skepta responded to an X post by DavidoPolice comparing his 2024 fashion style to Hushpuppi’s 2019 look, highlighting a grey, quilted jacket both wore at different times
• The British-Nigerian rapper humorously promised to teach his child never to argue with a Nigerian, prompting varied reactions among X users

On April 13, 2025, a lively online exchange unfolded on X when British-Nigerian rapper Skepta, born Joseph Junior Adenuga, reacted to a post by one DavidoPolice.

The original post, shared on April 12, 2025, juxtaposed two images: one of social media personality Hushpuppi in 2019 and another of Skepta in 2024, both donning a similar grey, quilted jacket with a distinctive pattern.

The caption, “Hushpuppi 2019 Skepta 2024,” accompanied by a follow-up comment, “Egbon don live people future,” suggested that Hushpuppi had seemingly set a fashion trend that Skepta later followed.
