Mr Leo’s outfit to the premiere of Itambi Delphine’s new movie, ‘Ward Zee’, in Buea on June 23 caused quite a stir!

Mr. Leo most undoubtedly set pulses racing when he showed up on the red carpet in a casual look, wearing a pair of black leather pant, white polo and shoes carrying a waist bag on his chest.

But while the singer’s attendance was applauded by the movie producer, the starlet’s fashion statement has since received a lot of criticism online.

Taking to Facebook, fans shared their reviews of Mr. Leo‘s outfit and they didn’t mince their words.

However, while many took aim at the singer’s efforts, other were quick to defend her.

Well, the singer’s PR team has released a statement after the backlash claiming Mr. Leo had just returned from a long trip but decided to attend the premiere to support his friend, Delphine and the movie industry as a whole.

“He was from a two days trip where he performed in Douala on Thursday and Next Day Friday in Yaoundé. Traveled back to Buea early Saturday and when they got we got hit with news of an accident involving the Alpha Better Records van with musicians and dancers they hired and took to Yaoundé. Van is left beyond repairs but Thank God Almighty no lives were lost.

Yet Mr. Leo had promised to make an appearance at that movie premiere so he did but with all the stress he was in no mood to dress up fancy so he kept in casual and went ahead to show support.”
