Fashion influencer 'Menswear Guy' Derek Guy faces calls for deportation after shocking immigration reveal
Fashion critic Derek Guy, known as 'Menswear Guy,' revealed his undocumented status. He shared his story amid anti-immigration protests. Guy aimed to challenge stereotypes about undocumented immigrants. The revelation sparked mixed reactions. Some supported him, while others, especially MAGA supporters, criticized him. Some called for his deportation. The incident ignited a broader debate beyond fashion.
Derek Guy, aka the 'Menswear Guy' on X (formerly Twitter), is usually known for his sharp takes on suits and calling out celebs and politicians for their questionable style choices.
But this week, he made headlines for something a lot more personal and political.
In a post that's now gone viral, Derek opened up about his past, revealing that he came to the US as an undocumented child after his family fled Vietnam following the Tet Offensive. He said he shared his story in light of recent anti-immigration protests in Los Angeles, hoping to break the stereotype that all undocumented immigrants are criminals.
'I came here without legal documentation… I've been here since I was a baby. My roots are here just like anyone else's,' he wrote, adding that he hoped to counter the idea that 'all undocumented immigrants are MS-13.'

But while many applauded his honesty, others weren't so forgiving. Especially MAGA supporters - who, let's just say, were not fans. Some called for him to be deported and tagged Republican leaders, including Vice President JD Vance, who Derek has roasted before for copying Trump's style.

One post even joked that it would be hilarious if Vance deported him and Vance replied with a nodding GIF. Subtle? Not really.

erek's post also caught heat from both sides. Some conservatives accused him of making his critiques too political and slammed him for 'virtue signalling.' Others dragged him for previously encouraging non-violent protest, saying he was using his platform for more than just fashion tips.
One person tweeted, 'Funny how he's defending illegal immigration just because he did it,' while another took a shot at his notorious habit of blocking critics: 'Now the Menswear Guy knows what it's like to get deported, digitally and maybe literally.'
And of course, some folks just wanted him to stay in his lane: 'All he had to do was stick to talking about lapels and loafers, but no, he had to make it political.'
Looks like Derek Guy's personal story has sparked a much bigger debate and whether you agree with him or not, it's clear this conversation has moved way beyond pocket squares.

‘ ₹5 Lakh Father's Day Cake' Trends on X: ‘Beta, isse toh 2BHK ka down payment ho jaata'
As Father's Day nears, children across the globe are brainstorming unique ways to celebrate the occasion—and one of the sweetest gestures remains surprising dad with a cake. However, a rather expensive cake has caught the internet's attention. With two days still to go until the celebration on Sunday, a Father's Day special 'hazelnut chocolate cake priced at ₹ 5 lakh' is trending on X (formerly Twitter), sparking widespread amusement and disbelief. A screenshot now going viral on social media appears to be from a food delivery or e-commerce platform. It displays a selection of Father's Day-themed cakes from a bakery, with options to choose between Veg/Non-Veg and features to sort or filter items. Among the cakes listed, one has stood out—for all the wrong reasons: "Father's Day Special Hazelnut Chocolate Cake (500gm) Price: ₹ 5,00,000 (likely a typo or technical glitch) Note: The product description humorously reads, "Your dad wouldn't want you spending a sin..."—perhaps poking fun at the absurdly high price. The other cakes listed are more reasonably priced: Father's Day Special Butterscotch Cake (500gm) Rating: 4.1 (1.1k reviews) Description: Soft vanilla sponge cake layered with butterscotch. Father's Day Special Red Velvet Cake (500gm) Rating: 4.3 (933 reviews) Description: Soft and rich red velvet cake with cream cheese". All the cakes include a "Happy Father's Day" topper and an "Add" button for ordering. Despite the clearly erroneous price tag on the hazelnut cake, the image has gone viral and triggered a flood of hilarious responses online. While it's unclear whether the screenshot is authentic or digitally manipulated, the responses have been priceless. A user wrote: "Dad's reaction after seeing the cake: 'Son, that could've been a down payment for a 2BHK flat!' 😅 #5LakhCake." Another wrote: "This is seriously suspicious—you all really need to check this out." A third user said: "Everyone's talking about it. Few can afford it. And fewer can forget it. The viral sensation: #5LakhCake." Another said: "Dad took a bite and said: 'It's good... but the price gave me indigestion!' As the cake continues to trend, it seems like this Father's Day might just be remembered more for a pricing glitch than for gifts or heartfelt messages.
