Considering these shoots were likely done around the same time at the beginning of the year, Denzel and Rickey definitely aren't in the wrong to believe that Gunna and Thug were influenced by them since their issue was released before. While this is not a representation of Gunna and Thug, it shows possible sloppiness on the part of the stylist for this shoot, who provided them with these identical outfits.
Bobby Wesley, the stylist for Gunna and Thug's Billboard short, spoke out on Thursday (March 17) and denied taking inspiration from Denzel and Rickey.
"Sometimes, minds think alike. Doesn't always mean that someone copied another," he said. "Kind of like 'Jinx, and double jinx.' The guys at Gucci PR should have known better...all good tho... live on."
What do you think of the stylist's explanation? And who looked better in the 'fits? Thug and Gunna, or Denzel and Rickey? Let us know in the comments.
