He begged his followers not to criticise him, saying he was only showing off his swag which he called confidence in himself.

“Coming in from the cold! Please don’t criticise me for being versatile and adding ‘swags’ to royalty! Many kings wear contemporary clothes but I think my swags is the real issue here. Let everybody swag down. It’s called ‘confidence’ in oneself,” he wrote.

His attire generated debate on Instagram among his followers.

Oba Akanbi is described by many as Nigeria’s most stylish monarch.

The 51-year-old is married to a Jamaican beauty, Chanel Chin.
