Terry G, Waconzy get rid of their dreadlocks

 

It’s the ‘Chop your dreads off’ season in the Nigerian entertainment industry and a few of our beloved entertainers are keeping with the trend. Pop singers Terry G and Waconzy recently shared new photos of themselves spotting a new look – they’ve both shaved their locks off!
Waconzy calls his new look ‘Waconzy 2.0‘; he went an extra mile by adding a blonde tinge to his hair. Mr Ginjah on the other opted for a very low Mo’Hawk look.
It started with Faze last year who went for a more ‘serene’ look. He was followed by Timaya. The most recent to follow the trend is comedian Basketmouth although he didn’t go for a complete shave-off.
So why are our dreaded stars chopping their locks off? Some would point out that it might have to do with the artiste’s way of re-branding. ‘New album on the way means – new image, new look, something to talk about’, a publicist tells us.
