Off-White designer Virgil Abloh's did the album cover for Pop Smoke's posthumous album Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon. Or so we thought.
Pop's fans hated it.
Virgil put zero effort into that album cover. He literally used the first photo that comes up when you search Pop Smoke’s name on Google. pic.twitter.com/pe9egHcjQj

Did Abloh's poor effort expose him?
