Post Malone ditched his dreads and said hello to a new shorter, curlier do on Twitter on Friday (Oct. 5). The 23-year-old “Rockstar” singer wrote in his initial post, “had 2 big ass dreads. plz don’t stop listening to my music.” He attached a snapshot of him staring into the camera and smoking a cigarette while sitting in front of a photo-loaded wall.
Malone followed up the first picture with others that more clearly display his new style through Instagram and Facebook. In one, Malone bends his head downward while sporting a white tank top that reveals many of his tattoos and a shorter, curlier, hairstyle.
Malone discussed his look when fans suggested he appear on Queer Eye back in July. The show’s culture expert, Karamo Brown tweeted, “Lol why does everyone want @PostMalone to be on the show. Did he request it?” Malone answered with, “no they just think I’m ugly and smell lol. love the show tho guys, keep crushing it.”
