Recall earlier on, Luminee was called out by Ivorian brand, Lafalaise Don, for replicating one of their designs and not giving any credit to them, claiming the design as her creation.

Luminee created a design undeniably similar to that of Lafalaise, for film star, Eniola Alao, for the premiere of Femi Adebayo's movie.

Well, following the criticisms Luminee has been receiving over the design, Lawani went on to share a photo of herself rocking a two-piece asoke suite embellished with cowries.
