‘Marjorie Been Had Hers’: Chris Brown Shows Off His New Bag, Claims He Has the Only One 

Chris Brown stirred up a social media frenzy on Aug. 17 after the singer declared he was the sole owner of the pricey airplane-inspired Louis Vuitton handbag.

The reason behind the flak was because Steve Harvey’s wife Marjorie Harvey made headlines for showcasing the same luxury item weeks before.

Although it is unclear if the “No Guidance” vocalist ever saw the initial video, that didn’t stop Brown from boasting how he is the “only 1 in the US” to own the purse. The Louis Vuitton Airplane Bag designed by Virgil Abloh is from the 2021 fall/winter collection. The set price of the luxury handbag is $39,000.

As Brown’s story became viral. many poked fun at the 32-year-old. One Instagram user even suggested that the company was pitching to its customers they too were just the sole owners of this item.

“Lol capping for no reason 🌽.”

“😂😂😂now Chris.”

“Who gonna tell him? 😂”

“Maybe hers is an airplane & his is a jet…😂.”

“😂😂😂😂😂that’s their sales pitch. They tell everyone it’s the “only 1.””

Aside from the jokes, several others mentioned Harvey. One wrote, “Marjorie been had hers boo.” Another tried defending the father of two and claimed maybe Brown meant he was the last one to purchase the bag. “I’m thinking he means it’s the only one left. I know dayum well that greasy a– associate ain’t sat up and told that man he had the only one and Marjorie been flexing it😂😩😩.”

Harvey debuted the bag to mixed reactions on July 30 by uploading a video showcasing it from different angles. In the initial clip, the 56-year-old never admitted who gave her the bag as she said, “Okay, what is this that just arrived in my house? Omg, okay. Did you all send this as a gift? What am I supposed to do with this? It’s gorgeous, though. Wow.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
