Popular DJ and social media personality Cyan Boujee has found herself at the center of online backlash after being accused of passing off an international creator’s content as her own to maintain a lavish online aesthetic.
The allegations surfaced on X after a user called out the influencer for including stolen footage in a recent Instagram photo dump. According to the receipts shared online, the imagery originally belonged to Kernsters, a prominent American luxury creator known for showcasing high-end sports cars and designer unboxings.
The original clip reportedly dates back to June on TikTok, featuring luxury visuals that Cyan allegedly repurposed for her own platform.
People were quick to jump on the discovery, pointing out the contrast between curated influencer personas and real-life luxury. The timeline’s swift callout prompted immediate action from Cyan, who quietly deleted the carousel post shortly after the allegations went viral.
Social media users offered a mix of comedy, criticism, and defense. While many poked fun at the lengths influencers go to maintain an opulent lifestyle on the internet, others shrugged off the incident as standard social media smoke-and-mirrors.
This isn’t the first time Cyan’s digital presence has raised eyebrows, but as audiences become increasingly vigilant about authenticity, the incident serves as a sharp reminder that on the internet, receipts are forever.
The content creator that Cyan stole the content from responded with a TikTok post saying, “Let’s put the rumors to rest it’s okay I wasn’t upset she stole my photo you guys. No hate” – entertainmentsa.
