Kenyan Amapiano artist Cartoon47, known for sparking controversies and garnering online attention, once again set social media abuzz. His latest spectacle involved flaunting a pair of high-end Nike Airmag sneakers.
Cartoon47, who has consistently made headlines for various reasons, sought to solidify his position as Kenya’s premier artist to own these exclusive Nike Airmag shoes. Distinguished by their unique design, these shoes stand apart from the more common Nike Jordan sneakers, Airforce, and Airmax models.
In a video that soon went viral, Cartoon47 proudly proclaimed that he had acquired these Nike Airmag sneakers directly from the Nike Company, which had them shipped to Kenya. He even shared a screenshot that revealed the eye-popping price tag attached to these remarkable shoes.
According to the screenshot he shared, Cartoon47 claimed that these extraordinary sneakers came with a staggering price tag of Ksh. 5.7 million, a sum he was willing to part with to possess these one-of-a-kind shoes. Due to their exorbitant cost, he proudly asserted himself as the sole Kenyan musician with the means to own such a prized pair.
However, the situation took a rather perplexing turn when Cartoon47 failed to provide a receipt for his Nike Airmag acquisition. This omission raised doubts among Kenyans, with many speculating that these sneakers might be counterfeit, commonly found on certain Kenyan streets.
Netizens were eager for tangible proof in the form of a receipt to substantiate Cartoon47’s claims. Without this crucial piece of evidence, skepticism prevailed, and many continued to view this as a potential publicity stunt, questioning whether such a sum could indeed be spent on sneakers within Kenya.
