Ghanaian musician Mr. Drew has opened up about the challenges and inspiration behind his iconic bald look.
In a recent interview on Daybreak Hitz with DJ Slim, Mr. Drew revealed that having a bald head comes with its own set of challenges.
He explained that he has to be particularly cautious of the sun, saying, “We can’t really walk in the sun because ego really blaze the brain, yeah man,” in Pidgin English.
Because of this, Mr. Drew avoids video shoots during the day. “I don’t like shoots during the day, I remember like if we get shoots during the day, ano like am. Chale, edey make my head dey ache. Coz the sun shines direct, edey cool your brain. Chale, ano fit.”
On a lighter note, he shared the benefits of having a bald head. “Bald cut – easy going. Barbers no dey chop my money coz me naa Adey shave my head. If you go chop my money, ebe sake of my beard,” he quipped.
When asked about the inspiration behind his look, Mr. Drew explained that he “wanted something that would stand out” in the music industry. His bold decision to sport a bald head is a conscious effort to carve out a unique identity as a young musician in an industry often dominated by dreadlocks and other hairstyles.
Interestingly, Mr. Drew’s bald look isn’t due to hair loss, but rather a personal choice. He regularly shaves his head and can grow his hair back whenever he chooses.
