Lexington, KY – Jasper Johnson, the five-star freshman guard for the Kentucky Wildcats, is facing intense scrutiny over his “KY Til I Die” T-shirt venture. The Lexington native’s merchandise, launched after his September 2024 commitment to Kentucky, has sparked outrage due to its steep pricing—$50-$75 for Comfort Colors and Nike tees.

Fans, expecting affordable gear to support the local star, have accused Johnson of price gouging. “A freshman charging $75 for a shirt? That’s a cash grab,” one X user fumed, reflecting widespread Big Blue Nation frustration.Rumors swirling on X have escalated the controversy, with unverified claims suggesting the high prices mask a money laundering scheme tied to third-party vendors handling Johnson’s merch store.

Though no evidence supports these allegations, the speculation has tarnished the 6’4” guard’s image as he prepares for his 2025-26 debut. Sources estimate Johnson’s NIL valuation at $1.3-$1.5 million, but fans dispute claims his deal outstrips the entire UK roster’s, calling it “a bold faced lie.”The scandal threatens to distract from coach Mark Pope’s vision for a high-octane offense, with Johnson projected as a key sharpshooter. Pope, who wore a “KY Til I Die” shirt on SEC Nation, has stayed mum on the controversy.

As Kentucky gears up for their November 3, 2025, opener against Morehead State, Johnson must address the backlash to restore fan trust—or risk derailing the Wildcats’ season.
