Jeffree Star called out by Aaron Carter for “similarities” in merch design
When he’s not fielding pop-punk requests or challenging Machine Gun Kelly to a rap battle, Aaron Carter is apparently using the internet to point out similarities between his merch and makeup mogul Jeffree Star.
Star recently announced Jeffree Star Cosmetics’ 5-year anniversary collection. At the time, it sparked its own divided reaction over the cost of the new Extreme Frost highlighter and now Carter is calling attention to some hoodies.

Earlier this week, Carter took to Twitter to address Star’s fall hoodie collection, writing “Hey @JeffreeStar your merch looks a lot like my custom pieces I do by hand? ? tsk tsk.”
He followed it shortly after with a video of the entire collection, writing, “I’m sorry but @JeffreeStar everyone has seen me make this stuff you have two of my colors. Not sure who on your team did that but I’m honored. Love you still ??”
“All right I love you Jeffree, but you literally have two of my colorways on here that I do in my custom apparael,” Carter says in the clip. “I love the rest of your stuff, obviously, but that’s clear as day.”

The hoodie Carter is referring to was released earlier this year as part of his LØVË COLLECTION, a reference to his album released in early 2018.

Fans were quick to respond to Carter with one telling him, “Be careful about drawing attention to this. He actually has been doing this style a lot longer than you and could actually have a case against you.”
Carter responded, stating, “With all due respect, I know Jeffree and I do my stuff custom. I was just seeing that [there] were deforest [sic] similarities. I’m not mad.”
