Shaun King is accused of scamming customers out of money for his private clothing brand.
King’s clothing line, A Real One, is touted as an organic clothing company reportedly made from all organic materials by Black-owned farmers, designers and distributors. Prices range from $59 for t-shirts and hoodies for $165.
There was an initial uproar on Black Twitter when the brand launched, for scamming Black people into buying expensive, relatively bland clothing from the company in the name of justice.
Now, there are more issues brewing as those who decided to pay $165 for the hoodies, have not received their orders.
Twitter users couldn’t help but leave their comments on the situation, including some of the customers who have been scammed.

According to Newsweek, King sent an email saying the clothing line accusations were inaccurate.
“This is a complete fabrication.
2 things:
1. We had nearly 3,500 orders and shipped EVERY order. All of them. Some 2-3 times. Out of those 3,500 orders about 150 people moved, or had shipping problems. For those 150 people, we resent the orders or processed refunds.
2. We just emailed our entire customer base to ask ANY customer that might have fallen through the cracks to email us. 2 people replied saying they wanted exchanges or refunds for orders they had trouble with.
“Out of those 3,500, we also had 75-100 customers who had errors in their email addresses or phone numbers that may be hard for us to reach. When we then run those potential customers with errors up against all of the orders that were delivered, we don’t see a single customer left with a contact info error that hasn’t received their order,” the email continued.
“Still, we are standing by to help any customer that has a single issue or problem.”
