After a viral clip showed Summer Walker walking through Chicago in a green robe, pink bonnet, and furry slippers, the singer addressed the backlash—saying she was simply out to pick up cigarettes and that the man in front of her paid for her items.
Roommates, the internet has been stuck on one image of Summer Walker for days: a robe run through Chicago.
A viral clip captured the singer strolling toward what appears to be a corner store. gripping a green robe as she walked. The video also shows her in a pink bonnet covering her hair and wearing furry slippers. As she makes eye contact with the person recording. a man walks ahead of her and eventually she heads into the store.
Once the footage spread, social media users wanted answers. Many questioned why she would step out in a robe in public at all. Others wondered why she didn’t send an assistant to pick up late-night items instead.
Then Summer entered the chat.
After an Instagram user messaged her asking why she chose to walk around Chicago dressed like that, Summer replied that she was “minding her business” and that she went to pick up some cigarettes.
Her exchange included the Instagram user responding, “fasho minding yo business stop playing not no cigs.”
Summer also captioned the video, adding that she didn’t know the man walking in front of her—though he still ended up paying for her items. She wrote: “I literally ain’t even know that man walking next to me he just decided to pay for my stuff & I walked back to my Telly alone n went to bed.”
She followed it with: “This celebrity s**t too weird. You can’t even walk to the corner store without going viral.”
After her response made its way back online, LiveBitez’s comment section filled up fast.
Instagram user @shaluvinmirah wrote, “Naw babes you’re weird for walking to the store like that 😩” while @thatchick_shi added, “First, it was the bonnet. Now we are wearing our bathrobes outside 🥴🥴🥴🤦🏾♀️.”
Other commenters pointed to the choice of clothing and footwear. @iammissjazz questioned, “Security couldn’t go get her stuff?” and @ahseenamai said, “Celeb or not, it’s weird that you went outside in a tiny robe and slippers made solely for inside.”
@only1zahh_ argued it “literally takes 2 seconds to put on tights and a tee shirt,” and @randomishvibes2 wrote, “Walking around like that in Chicago is crazy work lol.. when literally anything can happen in seconds. Idc if she was downtown, it’s not safe down there either.”
A few commenters assumed she had been trying to make a statement. @oree_montana wrote. “Girrrl you knew exactly what you was doing 🤣. ” while @prettiestbxtchh_ joked. “I thought she had ‘social anxiety’ 😂” and @donotmentionme_ went in more directly: “For a shy introvert she sure do be seeking attention very much so !!!”.
For now, Summer’s explanation is clear: she says she went out for cigarettes, she claims she didn’t know the man who paid for her items, and she returned home.
But the debate isn’t fading—because once the internet latches onto a robe-and-slippers moment, it rarely lets go.

Why is everybody acting like a robe is illegal lol
She said she was just getting cigarettes and the dude paid… ok but why she dressed like that in public. People are gonna talk either way. Internet will literally convict anybody over slippers.
I don’t get how a corner store run turns into a whole news story. Also the part about not knowing the guy? Sounds like a made up flex. Like if he paid for her stuff then he obviously knew her or it’s all staged… right?
Summer Walker out in Chicago in a robe and people lose their minds. Meanwhile my neighbor walks around in his gym clothes all the time and nobody cares. I mean if she was minding her business then stop zooming in with a camera. Also the cigarette thing like cmon, but she’s a celebrity so of course it’s weird either way.
