22 million followers follow the US rapper SZA on Instagram. But why is she suddenly wearing a T-shirt advertising a small German gardening company in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia?
Manfred Fell, the owner of the company, would like to know.
With her Instagram post,
the musician hashelped the horticulturalist from Heinsberg to unexpected fame
.In the photo, SZA is wearing a jersey with the inscription "Zaun-Garten- u. Landschaftsbau Manfred Fell Heinsberg". "I have no idea how the shirt got to the USA and to the artist", Fell told the German Press Agency.
Rapper SZA has shortened the shirt to belly-free
He had the green shirts made in the early 1990s as company jerseys, for example for football tournaments in the area.
After his son received the first messages about the photo, Fell rummaged in the attic. He actually found a few copies of the jersey in a box. SZA had probably cut off the sleeves of the long-sleeved shirt and shortened it to be belly-free.
The 60-year-old can only guess why SZA is wearing this particular shirt. He doesn't know the singer and this is the first time he has heard a song by her.
"Maybe she has a soft spot for gardens," he says. Maybe she got the jersey from a retro store.
In any case, Fell is delighted with the unexpected fame for his small business with its eight employees. "It's also advertising for our entire profession."
