Episode 11 - Most Iconic Yeezy Busts in History

bus if you will. I'm sure you guys have probably seen most of the ones that I've done in the past, but a lot of people don't know that there's actually like a lot more that never made it to my page or I had to delete at one point because there was a lot of ramifications that came from it. But let's start from the beginning, way back when when

I first started. One of the biggest celebrities that I called out, I think he was actually the first one was Testo, the DJ, And the crazy thing is is, um he had a fake pair of turtle doves, so he had a real pair of pirate blacks, and then he had a white pair of three fifties, which I guess we're samples, but they could be fake. I don't know, but I the only shoe that I could speak for was the Turtle Doves because they definitely were fake, and we actually spoke over d M and figured out that

they were fake. So that was like one of the first bus which was crazy, the only real shoe he had, because basically it was like a picture of him with three sneakers, um the Pirate Blacks, the all white through fifty, and the Turtle Doves. So the Pirate Blacks were real. Even told him that, and he's like, yeah, like the Kardashians gave me these, like whatever, whatever. Obviously those are gonna be real, but the other two were a little

bit questionable. So I posed to the bus. Obviously, people were going crazy because it was like one of the first celebrities that I ever had called out, and crazy enough, he actually DM me, which was insane. I definitely was very shocked, but he was a really nice guy. He was like, yeah, man, what's up, Like I got these from Dada Da Dada Da da da Da. Man talked for a little bit and it was really cool, and I was like, holy sh it. I was like, this

is like one of the world's biggest DJs. Especially at the time he was like probably, if not the world's biggest DJ. So it was like unreal to have him my DM me and you know, it was like one of the first celebrities that I ever had spoken to on Instagram, So it was like, you know, it was a little bit nervous responding and stuff like that, but it was cool to talk to him. And now he has one artist working under him. I'm pretty sure Jeco.

He had some really cool music. He did a remix to my boy prem song called Jackie Chan that I love. It was like him prim post Malone and that TSA. They all did a remix. It was really really cool. He's a sneaker head to he follows me, and it'd be it'd be funny to have him on the show. If you're listening to this bro, come on the show. We can talk about sneakers and maybe that whole scenario with t S that would be pretty funny. But anyway, so like after that, like I think the next few

were like zac Efron, which was crazy. Um he had blue three fifties red ones um like super fake turtle doves and that that really blew my mind. Because Zack Everyone's obviously a huge actor. He definitely only has more than enough money to be able to afford the Real Deal or like ten of the Real Deal times a hundred or whatever. So that was really really interesting. He

actually never reached out to me. Most celebrities do. I'm not gonna lie, like it's like, I would say nine out of ten times, like they would reach out or someone from their management or someone from their team at that time in particular. Yeah, Zack Efron never reached out, so that that was kind of like the end of that story, but it was. It was funny. I still remember to this day, like seeing the picture of him

wearing them on like the hood of a car. It was like a pair of like red three fifties, and I was like, wow, like I don't know who gave him those, but yikes, you know. And then another one

was the Jackie Chan. Like on the topic of actors, I saw Jackie Chan wearing a pair of super fake turtle doves, and I guess I think he was holding like an orangutan or something in his hands, and and I guess the guy who's next to him was I can't confirm this, but I guess it was money Kicks brother Rock rush It and somebody told me that I'm not sure. I haven't actually hung out with the rush

It yet. Um, but anyway, like that, that was crazy And just to see um Jackie Chandon wearing fakes, I was like, what, like, obviously, Jackie Chan's a legendary actor, legendary more than enough money to for like a hundred thousand pairs of them. It just yeah, that was that was really interesting because I was just I was so confused. I was like, what why is Jackie chand wearing Yeezys first of all? And second of all, why are they fake? You know? So that was a that was a that

was a good one. I think the next biggest celebrity was probably like, um, Swaylie Swaylie from Ray SCHRUMMERD And uh, that's actually a really funny story. That's something I touched on. Um when I had Mickey on the show Mickey from the Magpark, he had a fake pair of moon Rocks and I'm pretty sure it was um fake pair of

Pirate blacks too. And only recently that I find out that those fake pairs actually came from his stylists, So his style I list Scott scammed and gave it to him and he, annoying me wore them, and it was funny. When I exposed him, he was He's another guy who actually did reach out and he was just like like, ah, bro, you don't have any followers, Like why are you trying to expose me? I have all the easies blah blah blah, They're all real, Like who are you to tell me

these are fake? And I was just trying to be cool with them and just be like, yo, bro, like with all due respect, man, these are fake, like you know, and he blocked me, so that was great. And then the next day he went to the magpark and he bought some real ones. So funny how that works. I mean, I was happy that he ended up getting real stuff. I was happy that, you know, Mickey was able to sell him some some shoes and you know, it was it was, it was good. And ever since then, I

haven't seen Swillie rocking anything fake. I actually know some people like on his management team and stuff, and like, um, I think I'm gonna plan like a surprise video for him, which would be funny where I bring him like a real pair of easies or something I don't know. I haven't really decided yet. It was funny. I actually met Swilli at Astro World Fest a couple of weeks ago. Super cool guy, super super cool. I actually didn't tell

them I was easy busted, which is funny. And then there's a lot of like YouTubers and influencers quote unquote that we're wearing like super super fake stuff, super fake easies at the time, So there were a whole lot of like influencers like Instagram, vine stars and stuff like that who had fake easies. That that was like always the bread and butter like, so many of them had fakes. Like it was almost like crazy to see one of like one of the vine stars on their Instagram models

or whatever to be wearing something real. One of them, Um, that was actually crazy was a summer ray. I know a lot of you guys listening to this, all the men listening to this probably follow her. And it's okay. She was wearing a pair of fake Oxford tans. I want to say. It was a while ago, and she didn't know that they were fake, and she actually promoted the company who had sent them to her. It wasn't a company. It was like a quote unquote reseller selling

fake stuff, but they weren't open about it. They were saying like, oh these are these are real authentic blahlah blah. And I knew that they were fake. I could tell. So that actually blew my mind that she got got and she promoted a reseller who sells faked up but she didn't know obviously. I wish he had hit me up before. I only met her recently. I met her like a two years ago or something, so like this was a while ago. This was probably three or four

years ago. The guy who ran that page absolutely like went crazy, Like I said, he was gonna assuming all this stuff. I'm like, bro, you're selling counterfeit products. You're in the wrong. I'm not really like it bummed me out because I bet like a lot of her fans would go, wow, like I can get easies from from this reseller for cheap, because like he was selling them

like under the market value. And I just wonder how many people actually ended up buying stuff, Like I really hope that people saw my post and refrain from buying them, because yeah, that was that was really bad. There's so many others I can't remember their names or the exact scenarios, obviously, going into kind like a little bit more recent like a few years ago. A Soldier Boy was one of the first guys that really you know, took the um Fugazy Where of the Year award every year for the

last six years. And I've had many different experiences with that guy. He hates me and like he's been on interviews where he's like fuck easy, busta and like all this stuff. He actually hit me up. He said he's gonna pull up on me with the Draco um, which I thought was probably life threatening, but at the same time, I was like, oh no, it's Soldier Boy. It's fine. It's actually funny, you know. Him and I got in a couple of tips a few times. It's crazy. I

specifically remember this to this day. I was in my bed about to go sleep, like in my dorm when I was in college, and somebody had damn me and was like, yo, Soldier Boy was like talking smack about you on World Star and I was like what and legit I saw that, like I saw the video. It's funny. It's like an infamous and I laughed for like twenty minutes,

and I was actually stoked. I was like, wow, that's crazy, Like what like normally you think that, like your favorite celebrities saying like fuck you, you'd be like, oh, well, you know, maybe I should step off, but but no, I thought it was hilarious. And then ever since then, you know, I've been trolling him, like I mean, he definitely is one that should be trolled. And it's funny because, um,

my photographer or I mean he's he's my friend. He wouldn't say say he's necessarily my photographer, but he takes a lot of photos of me. He is a photographer. He's actually Roddy Rich's personal photographer now and like, shout out Chris, if you're listening to this, bro. Chris was walking down Rodeo and took took a couple of photos

of him. He was wearing a fake Rolex and it's funny because the soldier boy ended up actually following him and I think he used one of Chris's photos as like an album cover or like a single cover or something, which was hilarious. And Chris sent me photos of his roles. He goes, oh, dude, I got like up close photos

of his roles. If you want to see it, and I was like, oh my god, So I I saw it and for sure fake and um he went on every day Struggle or whatever the academics has and he was like trying to like show it off and like it the same watch it was super fake too. So I mean, that guy is just a whole different story. I mean one of one of my favorite ones. Um that you know, a lot of people always ask about as Rich as the kid Rich, a kid you know has blown up a lot in the past couple of years.

And it was funny. After all this happened like years later to this present day. I was with Offset from from the Megs and he was shopping around at probably place. When I was there, I was helping him kind of like look around and stuff, and he he somehow brought up Rich the kid. I can't remember how. And then I was like, dude, do I have a story for you?

So I kind of like told him about like an instance that we had at like a little incident that Dre had with him at the warehouse and then in a little incident that he had with me where he said he wanted to pull up on me and he wanted to like he he told me he's gonna beat me up if I ever like ran into Himich is funny because I've run into him a few times and I still haven't gotten beat up. But OFFSET was like, dude,

this is crazy. So I didn't know. But him and Kid are good friends, and rich Kid eventually ended up apologizing, so you know we're good now. I actually haven't like formerly met him, but I just thought that was hilarious that that's always an interesting story because like, the first time I called him out was not because he was wearing fakes, like even though I didn't even know he had fakes, but he scammed one of my friends. So I started creeping his page and I found him wearing fakes,

and that's when I called him out. He hated me, like he every time um, like I'd post on my story that I'm somewhere and he feels there, he'd be like yo, like he's like pull up here right now, like um, and he started saying like all this like super like crazy stuff on my Instagram. The craziest part is after I started exposing him, he turned off all his comments on all his photos because you guys were going crazy just like spamming him with LS going nuts.

So he turned off all his comments and then a day later he made his page go private completely because it was just ruthless. You guys are crazy. I love you guys, by the way, and then he deleted all his posts like three days later, and uh, you know, to this day he probably still feel some type of way towards me. But you know, it's funny, like that was always like when that a lot of people ask about, but there's so many other countless people who who have

worn fakes. Just to kind of like tell you guys, like, obviously anybody can get scammed. It's not just you. It's not your mom, it's not your dad, it's not your friends,

it's like anybody, celebrities. It doesn't matter. So that's why I'm always so persistent to tell you guys, like, get everything legit checked, no matter what, get a few people to look at it, get a few expert opinions, because at the end of the day, you never know a hundred percent until you've gotten enough feedback and done your research. So I mean, if it could happen in celebrities, it can happen to you too. Recently, I would just had a sneaker con and um, one kid bought something that

turned out to be fake. It was like a whole fiasco to get the money back, and like, you know, I made a video about it, and in the video, I was talking about how important it is to get your legit checked. It doesn't have to be me or anyone in particular, but but just to get enough ice look at it because most likely, like if more than a couple of people are calling it fake, it's probably a good idea to get it checked out entirely because most people who have an eye for it will know

right away or because of like certain key details. And it's just so sad to me when people get when people get scammed, it's it's really like unfortunate, And like I don't understand how some people can sleep at night knowing that they sold something fake to someone for a

real price. Like if somebody bought something for a hundred dollars as fake, and then they resold it for seven hundred to eight hundred dollars or a thousand or whatever it might be, so that person ended up paying seven hundred or eight hundred dollars over retail for something or not even over retail, over how much the fake costs, Like it's ridiculous, and it makes me even more sad because there's so many people who get scammed and they

don't even know it until way later. Like I I know a bunch of people who this has happened to where they'll buy a shoe online and they just assumed that it's real and then they wear it, and then they're wearing it for like a year straight, and then somebody finally tells them like yo, dude, by the way, like those shoes are fake or whatever. They got sneaker cons um I've had so many times said kids come

up to me like Yo, are these real? And I'm like, no, those are fake and they're like what are you talking about? I bought these from this Instagram person or whatever like six months ago. I've been wearing them, blah blah blah,

Like how do I get my money back? And it's like there's there's like this gray area where it's so difficult because at one point, like if you wear the shoe, you know, you can't really have like a claim on PayPal because the papal will be like, oh, well, we just wore them, so you how how do you know that they're fake now because you know they got like the bottom got rubbed off like whatever it might be.

You know, so just like really important and that you guys, get your stuff legit checked before you buy it, not after, or even if you're just considering buying something. Make sure you're getting it from a legitimate source. Don't believe these scams that are like too good to be true, like selling easies for half resale or at retail like it or not even just easy like off whites um Jordan's.

And in my opinion, I think it's so much better and so much more gratifying to buy a real pair of sneakers because if you buy a fake pair, you in your head will know that they're fake, and subconsciously it's just not healthy to to just go for something even if even if everybody else thinks they're real and you know that they're fake in your head, like you're still thinking like, oh no, I'm wearing something that's fake. I'm like, am I a fake person? Like? Am I

trying to emulate something that I'm not? It's so much better to like really put the work in, like like I'm not just gonna use myself as an example, but like there are temptations like oh yeah, let me just get a fake when it looks the same, like whatever, No, it's not. It's so much more gratifying. Like when I when I have my job at Starbucks for two years, like I really really worked. I bought off, Like I know how hard it is to make ten dollars an hour.

Like I I worked the opening shift from four am to nine am every day and it was grueling. And but when I finally got that pair of Yeezys and I was like, I got a real pair and I paid a lot for them. Obviously, I was so happy because I was like, damn, like I deserve this shoe. I worked really hard for it. And you know, with many things in life, if you work hard, you play hard.

You know, if you work hard, you you deserve all the things that you want and you but you know, obviously make sure that you're not frivously spending your money on random stuff like you know, I'm and trust me, I'm very tempted to myself just kind of like being in this whole world like with like sneakers and jewelry

and like clothing and stuff like that. But at the end of the day, guys, to make sure you're just you know, staying on top of it, investing your money, investing in yourself and working hard because you can never lose by doing that, and always invest in yourself. You're the only thing that you need to invest in first before anything else. So with all that said, guys, I know, I kind of like went on a tangent, but make sure you guys don't get scamed. Make sure you guys

don't get got um. Always get yourself legit checked, work hard so you can play hard get whatever you want. You know, it's so much more gratifying to buy something knowing that it's authentic that you worked hard for. So just with all that said, I'm gonna catch you guys next time. I'm gonna see you guys next Wednesday. Appreciate you guys, and uh yeah piece
