Bahati has changed his hairstyle.
The man is now rocking braids that have many Kenyans talking out the side of their necks.
The reaction has been split with some loving the dreads and others unappreciative of it. Bahati himself asked his followers for their opinion on whether they liked the new look.
Some of the responses are below:
nickmutuma: .
miss_veronica_maina: No.
brayc_254: Sijui ni pamoja na dress code ama nini, but in this look(the whole look) makes you look more mature. Msinitupie mawe lakini sina helmet.
jescah_kosgei: Sasa Nani atakua mama heaven, you are beautiful.
mattel_online_store: Shosho ndio amekudanganya uweke izo mfanane na Kris Darlin?? .

merciejo: Aki baha unakaa dem woii.
bameek_: Nice look you like Poze’s yung bro.
veromunyao18gmail.com4: Ringtone Apoko atalala Leo kweli?
As one can see from that last comment, Ringtone stayed true to form in his personal crusade to police the gospel music scene.
The artiste wrote his opinion on his Instagram page:
THE BIBLE SAYS MAN MUST NOT LOOK LIKE A WOMAN I HAVE NOT SAID YOU LOOK LIKE ONE #254FASHION #254 #254IGERS
While I might not like his new look, I believe Bahati has a right to explore his boundaries, be it musically or fashion-wise.
Yes.
Even ugly fashion choices like the one Kanye West is currently putting on! I do not judge. (I had to get that off my chest!)
