Wale was a guest at the White House yesterday for a “beating the odds” summit which aims to encourage kids to sign up for college.

While most will applaud Wale serving as a positive role model for American youth, a lot of Americans chose to criticize Wale’s choice of dressing rather, which was a custom made Igbo attire popularly known as Etibo made by Zini Couture, who also makes attires for Olamide and the YBNL crew.

He was criticized for not looking ‘professional’ enough.

Unfortunately for the (probably bigoted) critics, Wale actually changed into that attire for his performance. While giving a talk during the lecture part of the summit, he was dressed conventionally in dress shirt and slacks.

Not like there was anything wrong in the Etibo anyway.

Wale’s response to the criticism was,

Presentable? I performed in a Nigerian native top & hard bottoms. @Zinicouture is presentable. Suit to perform? No.

He wasn't looking professional actually. At least every event determines your mode of dressing undecided


how can you wear bandana or whatever he called what he put on his head to a formal event. If he was to do a stage performance fine but not that kind of event looking like an un serious street boy undecided


what example is he portraying to the students looking up to him undecided

they too will be sagging and Wearing bandana.the top is ok but he could have gotten a corporate trousers for the top. Abeg stop the sensationalism. Nothing is wrong with the top except every thing else
U still don't get it! The students he is encouraging are street guys and dey don't wear suit.

Imagine how we pride on wearing and using American wears, so sad seeing them criticising ours.

Wale is an American citizen and Americans have a right to criticize just as much as you also have a right too.

It only goes out to show that 'Wale' is a true son of the soil... He shows that he's from a continent which people are always happy to be identified with(corruption and poverty aside), in terms of true values and culture.... #Imagine if it was Wixkid??... Dude will dress like Pacquiao Opponent in Heavyweight Bout

"a lot of Americans chose to criticize Wale’s choice of dressing rather,"
Which news agency even reported this? Not only is this incorrect, it is also nonsensical and the fabrication of a nutcase. Of course this will feature on FP on NairaLand after all BS sells and draws traffic .... SMH.

Those who criticised him should first go and tell their fellow Americans to stop wearing oversized trousers because it's both disgusting and obsolete. They should be careful not to interfere or intend to compel others to conform to their stupid, barbaric and immoral lifestyle.
Why did John Kerry not wear Agbada when he visited our president?

Wale's dressing depicts African culture and that should not lead to any criticism in the white house.
