Drake Gets His Hair Braided and People Are Confused

Drake is trying something new.

Late last night (March 11), the Certified Lover Boy rapper shared photos of his new hairstyle. Drake has traded in his curly locs for cornrows. He uploaded two selfies on his Instagram Story that show him with six braids in his hair.

The new hairstyle confused many people who wondered aloud if Drake used hair weave in his braids considering the OVO boss’ hair was recently seemingly too short to get braided. “Is that synthetic weave or human hair that helped fill in the braids on drake’s hair?” one person pondered on Twitter.

“Drake had short hair two days ago, now this nigga got braids lmfaoo,” another person noted.

Others assumed Drake is in album mode again. “You Know Drake is about to release music whenever he’s unlocking a new character or personality. The Braid’s era,” someone else posted.

Drake has kept it pretty simple over the years when it comes to his hair. The last time Drake’s hair made headlines, he got a heart-shaped part cut into his head in promotion of his Certified Lover Boy album.

Drake has been the topic of internet jokes multiple times recently. In January, he was the butt of social media memes after news broke that Rihanna was pregnant with A$AP Rocky’s child. A few days later, a photo of Drake staring intently as his phone caused another storm of memes poking fun at the rapper.
