'Headphanie' Bottles of Hennessy Are a Real Thing

You've probably seen purple labeled bottles of Hennessy with the words "Headphanie" written on them floating around on social media today. Taken from Young M.A's ridiculously popular song "OOOUUU," the repurposed Henny label is taken from the most memorable line from the song "You call her Stephanie, I call her Headphanie." Not only are the bottles real, they are being sold in stores.
Flordia clothing brand Lilac Company are the ones responsible for the bottles that quickly ended up in liquor stores around the country. Lilac is now on the defense after legions on Twitter are accusing them of appropriating the Young M.A song for their own benefit, going as far as saying they are gentrifying Hennessy.
And y'all are crazy thinking we're banking off this. The liquor stores selling it not us

Young M.A has not yet responded besides retweeting the following, where someone said that they hope she was paid from sales of the bottles.
I pray with all my heart that this is real and that they cut you a nice cheque @YoungMAMusic 😂 #Hennessy #Headphanie #Ouuuu pic.twitter.com/rup0PgOBo5
