In a blink-and-you-might-have-missed-it moment, one of SA’s most prominent designers, David Tlale, decided to hop on the gram and let fellow designer, Paledi Segapo, know that he was NOT feeling his look.
In a now-deleted post, Tlale accused Segapo of stealing; his penchant for rocking a dark lip, his designs and in this case, his interns’ designs too.
Tlale even went so far as to put up receipts.
But Segapo was not having and attempted to defend himself by reposting his image with a caption addressed to Tlale.
“its imperative to get facts right,we need to learn2apply a level of emotional intelligence & I'm sorry I didn't know uve invented goth lip. Thanx!”
@Tlale_large get your facts right I never said it's my creation, but @Thandopiliso furthermore sorry I didn't know you've created goth lip

What do you guys think? Is Tlale right or is he just over-reacting?
