The note reads: “Ms. Jennifer Hudson, what an honor to gift you with one of my handbags. You’ve inspired me just as much as every other black girl.. and for that, I wanted to personally say thank you! I hope you enjoy wearing this as much as I enjoyed making it just for you.”

The video quickly received 90,000 views after it was uploaded on Monday, and other TikTok users were shocked by the revealing note. One user wrote, “If it’s real or not, celebrities are just like us no one wants to hoard anything they don’t have infinite closet space lol.” Another said, “I mean, if J HUD no longer wanted the bag, what was she suppose to do with it? The bag doesn’t hold any value. At least she didn’t trash it.”
“I’m hoping that she just got a lot of stuff at one time and didn’t see everything and it all got donated because of her assistant or something”
Additionally, Sonique Saturday was tagged under the video as many believe it would be free advertising for her and her brand. “Me going to search for Sonique Saturday on IG …. Her business is actually thriving … love that for her!” another TikToker wrote.

What’s crazy is I never seen this brand get any type of hate and now this is gonna open a flood gate of all sorts of discourse when I remember this being one of the black owned lux brands that gained traction in 2020 https://t.co/XI68Dn7SBQ
