Off-Donation
Earlier in the week, Abloh donated $50 towards an organization in Miami and shared his good deed to the masses on social media. The donation came in light of the protests following the tragic murder of black man George Floyd.

Wait, There’s More
Twitter immediately erupted on Abloh. Social media users quoted the prices Virgil charges for his products and roasted him for the amount he donated.

It didn’t stop there, though. Somebody even went to Wikipedia to troll Abloh. His name was changed to “Cheap A**”.
