Asake Shaves His Dreads After 5 Years as His Mum Offers Him Seven Cows

Nigerian Afrobeat star Asake has surprised fans after cutting off his dreads, a hairstyle he has carried for more than five years. The move came after his mother reportedly gave him seven cows to finally let go of his famous look.

Why Did Asake Cut His Hair?

This shows how strong family influence can be, especially in African homes where parents often see dreadlocks and tattoos as rebellious.

Even though Asake has shaved his dreads, his mum is still pushing for another change. She reportedly asked him to wipe off all his tattoos, a request that fans are not sure he will accept. Tattoos have become part of his identity as an artist, but it seems his mother is determined to see him appear more “traditional.”

How Do Fans Feel About Asake’s New Look?

Does Asake Look Better Without Dreads?

This is the question fans are asking the most. Many believe Asake’s new clean-cut style makes him look more approachable and stylish, giving him a different aura compared to his dread era. It may also open the door for new fashion and branding opportunities as he continues to rise in the music industry.
