[6][7] Born to Nigerian Igbo parents, Itsekiri and Ghanaian heritage,[8] Nwosu grew up in Washington D.C. and lived some of her early years in Port Harcourt, Nigeria and New York City.

She has worked with artists like Mr Eazi, Yxng Bane, Nonso Amadi, Odunsi The Engine, Santi, Kwesi Arthur and Tobi Lou.

[24] In 2017,[25] Nwosu tweeted about the plagiarism and cultural appropriation of African prints[26] by British designer Stella McCartney during its showcase at Paris Fashion Week, sparking an outrage on the social media platform.

[29][30][31][32][33] Despite backlash, McCartney failed to apologize and issued a statement to Fashionista that gave credit to textile brand Vlisco in the Netherlands rather than indigenous African women.

We designed the prints in collaboration with Vlisco in the Netherlands, the company that has been creating unique Real Dutch Wax fabrics in Holland since 1846 and helps maintain its heritage."
