A$AP Bari is calling out a Dallas store for allegedly selling his own stolen Chrome Hearts pieces on Instagram.

A$AP Bari is putting a Dallas store on blast, claiming they're moving his own stolen Chrome Hearts pieces. He shared the callout directly to his Instagram story, tagging the account @sacrecydallas in the process.

Bari posted side-by-side shots of black leather Chrome Hearts pants next to a green suede pair, both loaded with the brand's signature cross and skull hardware. His message left no room for interpretation, telling followers not to buy anything from the account since the pieces belong to him.

A separate story showed Bari posing in a matching green Chrome Hearts fit, jacket included, captioning it as the same Chrome pants that got stolen from him. Between the fit pic and the callout, it's clear this isn't just a random accusation. The kicker is he's identifying specific pieces from his own closet.

No word yet on how the pieces actually went missing or when the theft happened. Bari didn't give a timeline in either post, just a direct warning aimed at anyone thinking about copping from that account.

A$AP Bari Fake Chrome Hearts

Chrome Hearts pieces have become a magnet for resale scams and theft given how expensive and recognizable the brand's hardware is. Custom one-off pieces like Bari's, loaded with personal detailing, make this callout even more pointed since they're not exactly easy to fake.

This isn't the first time a public figure has had to publicly flag stolen gear showing up for sale. It's become a familiar move in streetwear circles, using social media pressure instead of waiting on any kind of formal process to play out.

For now, it's Bari's word against the seller, with no official response from @sacrecydallas addressing the claim. Given how fast callouts like this spread, we are expecting some kind of public response sooner than later.

Either way, this whole situation is a reminder that closet theft doesn't discriminate, not even against someone as plugged into the streetwear world as Bari. When pieces this rare and this recognizable can still end up resold without permission, it says a lot about how loose the resale space really is.
