What is it, the braids?! Apparently, not anymore…
Drake is stepping into fall with a fresh new look, and fans are relieved—especially after his questionable braided pigtailettes that he accessorized with bobos and barrettes. On Nov. 16, the Certified Lover Boy artist shared his latest haircut on Instagram: a sleek taper fade, with the front left wavy for added style.
“That means good music is on the way once again,” wrote one user.
Another person on X penned;
“We’re about to get PEAK Drake again.”
One fan called the Toronto-bred rap star a “baddie” while others claimed that the Canadian artist’s haircut was long overdue.
“Drake cut his hair off?! Omg we are SO BACK! Them braids been too tight for too damn long!” a user penned.
Another person joked;
“Damn, Drake took his weave out.”
Celebrity hairstylist Aly Bona, who has been responsible for Drake’s braided look over the last year, also reacted to the buzz, telling fans;
“Yes he cut it, pls give me some grace today.”

Drake Got Relentlessly Roasted On Social Media For Wearing Pigtails In October
In October, the father of one sent the internet into a frenzy when he posted a photo on Instagram rocking two long pigtails, each adorned with blue bubble barrettes.
The rapper didn’t offer much commentary on the bold look, but that didn’t stop social media users from sharing their thoughts.
The reaction was swift, with many netizens slamming the rap star with a barrage of jokes and comments about the unusual style.
“Drake going thru [sic] his mid life crisis..what the hell possessed him to go put his hair in pigtails and pose with duck lips lol..just give us the slaps my boy,” one person wrote on X.
“Someone beat pigtails out of Drakes’ cranium,” another user penned about Drake’s pigtail braids.
A third person chimed in;
“I wish he would get a haircut.”
A fourth X user added;
“Drake gotta be trolling at this point because why pigtails?”
October wasn’t the first time the Grammy-winning rapper turned heads with his bold style.
Back in September 2023, Drake went viral once again, this time for an…interestingly quirky hairstyle. In a photo with rising Houston artist Talameshia, the “God’s Plan” rapper showed off his bouncy curls, styled with a middle part and accessorized with an array of rainbow-colored clips, sparking plenty of chatter online.
