Following the red carpet gaffe, Nigerians have taken to Twitter to express their discontent with Hermes and his stylist, Toyin Lawani, for not paying attention to the important detail.
Social media users are reacting to the costume worn by BBNaija housemate, Hermes Iyele for the African premiere of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which took place in Lagos on Sunday.
Hermes wore an outfit by celebrity stylist, Toyin Lawani in honour of the late Chadwick Boseman.
Following the Afro-futuristic theme of the event, Hermes donned an African warrior attire complemented with a cape, which had a large picture of the late actor printed on it.
An inscription on the outfit misspelled the actors name in bold font as “Chad Boswick” instead of Chadwick Boseman.
