Jayda Cheaves Apologizes For Seemingly Stolen Swimsuit Design

by

Earlier this week, Jayda Cheaves took to Instagram to show off a new Waydamin swimsuit, posing in the bright orange flower-inspired bikini. Almost immediately, X user @Chelseaaaah_ accused her of stealing the design from the small Black woman-owned swimwear company Eaunoir Swim. She also pointed out that Jayda was paid to model the brand’s Flower Bomb design in 2020.

“It’s a shame that my friend worked so had for business for years just for JAYDA WAYDA TO STEAL HER WHOLE S*** after she was PAID to wear and post my friend’s bikini!!! WEIRDO FLEX,” she wrote. “You really see stuff like this happen all the time with influencers stealing designs from black owned businesses but this is hitting different. My friend @imonlycai literally makes each swimsuit BY HAND and here go Jayda stealing it and sending it to CHINA for production!!”

Jayda Cheaves Admits Eaunoir Swim’s Design Was On Her Mood Board

In response, Cheaves took to her Instagram Story, revealing that she had taken inspiration from the design. “Oh it’s NO shade. The girl I promoted back in 2020 was on the mood board for this summer’s swim,” she wrote. “That’s what fashion is about remaking and recreating. It’s no shade at all. I never take offense when I’m on somebody’s mood board, it’s how it go.” Her response didn’t go over well with fans, and she went on to DM Eaunoir Swim on Instagram to apologize and reveal she wouldn’t be selling the bikinis.

“I definitely understand how this made you feel because I’ve been a victim of things like this before & I’d hate to not go about this the right way without taking the accountability as a Black female business owner as well,” she explained. “Maybe one day we can collaborate on something even hotter. Xoxo, sorry again.” What do you think of Jayda Wayda apologizing for seemingly stealing a swimsuit design?

SZA Reps Frank Ocean

by

Jokes aside, SZA and Frank Ocean are probably two of the most (if not the most) beloved pop and R&B figures of the last decade or so. As such, it’s expected for them to have a lot of love and respect for one another, which the SOS singer displayed proudly. Recently, she was pictured wearing a shirt with the former Odd Future member’s face on it, showing she might be as much of a fan of fan-designed merch as the rest of us plebeians. Of course, as anything Frank or Solana touch turns to gold, fans immediately clamored for a prompt collab release.

Still, that day may never come, considering Frank Ocean’s notoriously scant drops over the course of his ten-plus-year career. However, SZA’s more on top of the world than she’s ever been, so if anyone has that power, it may well be her. In fact, fans recently spotted him during her incredibly successful tour watching Omar Apollo open for her. With that in mind, their relationship probably goes deeper than any collab track fans will pester them for online.

What’s more is that we’ve been so close to getting that team-up on at least a few different occasions. For example, the TDE artist named the “White Ferrari” vocalist as one of her intended collaborations on her latest album. Other names included Drake, Bad Bunny, Tyler, The Creator, Billie Eilish, ROSALÍA, Kacey Musgraves, and more. “Sometimes people turn in their verses and sometimes they don’t,” SZA remarked about Frank Ocean’s potential guest spot during a HOT 97 interview. “And a lot of people just did not turn in their verses. But I’m grateful for who did. For a lot of these people, I didn’t turn in my verse [either] so I can’t be too mad.”

“I’ve learnt a lot from people around me,” she told i-D Magazine concerning her favorite artists back in 2018. “I f**k with Ri. She’s in my corner. I f**k with what she does, I f**k with her place in the world. I f**k with her energy, I f**k with what she chooses to do with it, she’s dope. Frank Ocean is a king. Kendrick Lamar is the voice of our generation. He’s the most exciting thing in culture right now. Kidding. Although not really.” Regardless of their potential work together, return to HNHH for the latest news on SZA and Frank Ocean.
