Ghanaian fashion icon Richard Brown, popularly known as Osebo the Zaraman, has hit back at critics who accuse him of wearing fake products.

Osebo the Zaraman, who is known for his unique and daring fashion sense, said that judging a product just by looking at it from a distance is unfair and inaccurate.

Instead, he argues that the only way to determine the authenticity of a product is to touch it or use it personally and experience its quality.

He made these remarks during an interview on Hitz Fm's Daybreak Hitz.

"I have a wrist watch on me and from a distance you are telling me it is fake, prove it to me, without holding it, without touching it, without seeing it one on one, what makes it fake?

"From a distance, what makes it fake, nobody can even do that, most of the iPhones sold in Circle are fake, you haven't touched it, you haven't experienced it yet you say it's fake, what makes it fake, based on what?" Osebo the Zaraman stated.

Osebo the Zaraman, who is the CEO of Zara 24/7, a boutique that sells authentic designer brands, said that he sources his products from reputable suppliers and does not compromise on quality.

He has often expressed nonchalance about the opinions of his critics, as he dresses to please himself and express his personality.

Osebo the Zaraman has been nominated for the 2023 YEN Entertainment Awards in the category of Best Dressed Male Celebrity, alongside Nana Safo Savile Row, Godwin Asediba, James Gardiner, and Wesley Kesse.
