Popular media personality and actor, Uti Nwachukwu, has accused Ghanaian TikToker, Wesley Kess, of stealing his birthday photoshoot concept.
Uti took to his Instagram page to call out Wesley for copying the photoshoot idea of his 40th birthday celebration in August 2022.
Recall that in the Jesus-themed picture, Uti draped a white satin cloth across his body and tied a white scarf around his head with minimal jewelry.
Interestingly, Wesley, who celebrated his birthday on Thursday, April 19, shared a similar photo of himself dressed in all-white to mark his new age.
This didn’t go down well with Uti who has expressed his disappointment in Wesley for ‘stealing’ his idea without giving credit to him and his photographer.
Uti wrote;
“At first I laughed 😄. Cos what in da ‘what I ordered’ is this ? THE ALACRITY 🤯😩😄
But it’s easy to Laugh when it’s not your sweat and brain power that has been preyed on. My Photographer @idaraadiakpan_ /@sbdstudios_ is Livid ! THIS WAS ALL HER IDEA ooo ! I was just her muse. IT WAS HER GIFT TO ME FOR MY 40th! CHALEEEE THIS IS PART OF HER LIFE’S WORK.
