What ever happened to Eddie Murphy's Delirious red suit?

I was watching Delirious last night so I looked up some info about it on the web and found this ... lol

4. His Suit from Delirious Met a Funny Fate

deliriousOne of Murphy’s first major triumphs as a solo comedian was the 1983 stand-up special Delirious. Today the special is remembered for two things: its raunchy content and the form-fitting red leather suit that Murphy wore on stage for the taping. In fact, so many fans remembered the trademark suit that they would often ask Murphy what happened to the snappy duds.

In 2007, Murphy revealed the truth: Keenen Ivory Wayans had ruined the suit. According to Murphy, he once dared Wayans to wear the suit out for a night on the town and remain in character. Although the suit was tight on the much smaller Murphy, the 6’3” Wayans took his friend up on the dare. As Murphy later remembered, “He met girls, he had a sausage in his pants, there was dancing.” The suit, though, was seriously stretched out after Wayans’ adventures.

Anyone remember Keenen's character Frenchi from In Living Color? Eddie's description is spot on, maybe where Keenen got the idea from.
