Drake Faces Backlash for New Hairstyle Debut Amidsevere Social Media Trolls
Drake faced backlash after debuting a new hairstyle on social media, receiving harsh comments about his look. Previously trolled for a selfie featuring pigtails, the artist's latest change sparked a barrage of reactions, with many questioning his grooming choices and suggesting signs of an identity crisis. The rapper's weekend was further complicated by a significant betting loss on a boxing match.
Drake unveiled a fresh hairstyle on social media this past Sunday, sparking a wave of reactions from fans and critics alike. The 38-year-old artist, who hinted at possible touring plans in Australia, showcased his new look on Instagram Stories, adding a playful touch with dollar signs. This change follows a recent backlash he faced after sharing a selfie featuring pigtails and barrettes.
Public Reaction to Drake's New Hairstyle
Immediately after Drake posted his new hairstyle, comments flooded in from social media users expressing their opinions. The artist's bold choice was met with mixed reviews, with one commenter noting, 'Incoming "he's really pushing 40" comments.' Meanwhile, others shared their disbelief, with one user questioning whether he had just gotten braids the previous week. Discussions about potential identity issues emerged as well, with one social media user stating, 'People who go through this many stages in such a short time frame show clear signs of an identity crisis.'
Criticism Over Drake's Fashion Choices
The reactions didn't stop at the hairstyle; Drake's expression in the selfie also drew commentary. Observers referred to his pursed lips as 'duck lips' and one claimed that the pose he adopted appeared 'feminine.' Furthermore, another user made a controversial remark regarding his racial background, suggesting that his aging process resembled that of a Caucasian individual, hinting at inevitable physical changes in the near future.
Drake's Other Ventures and Recent Losses
Beyond hairstyle controversies, the weekend was challenging for Drake on another front. He placed a substantial bet of $335,000 on Mike Tyson to win his boxing match against Jake Paul on Friday night in Las Vegas. With favorable odds at +285, a victory for Tyson would have netted Drake approximately $1 million. However, the bout concluded with Iron Mike losing by unanimous decision, although he earned $20 million for his participation.
