Speaking during the chat, the ‘Party No Dey Stop’ crooner said: “There was no plan for it [my braided hairstyle] to be like a brand.
“In 2019, my hair was growing. Remember when I had that punk. And I was like, let me even try a new side of me. Let me even try to grow this hair and then make it. And I have really nice core pattern, whatever you guys called it. Core texture [laughs].
“But, yeah. I just decided to grow it and it looks good on me.”
