Wiz Khalifa has let everyone know that his dreads are going to stay where they are — regardless of whoever cuts theirs off.
The rapper posted a video on social media addressing his flowing locs, speaking to the camera about why they’ll never be cut off. "Y’all n****s cutting y’all hair?" he asked. "Go ahead and cut it off. Because y’all can’t do this."
Khalifa whipped his hair back and forth. Kind of like Willow Smith did in her famous 2010 song of the same name, only the rapper’s version was much slower and more majestic. In fact, his hair flip wouldn’t have been out of place in a shampoo commercial.
After his flip, Khalifa laughed heartily. "That’s exactly why I grew my shit out for — so I could do that right there," he joked.
Though Khalifa didn’t specifically name anyone that he was talking to, it’s not too hard to speculate on at least two people who’ve recently gotten rid of their dreads.
In September, Kai Cenat got rid of his dreads on the last day of his Mafiathon 3 stream. Joined by other members of the AMP crew, LeBron James, and his daughter, Zhuri, Cenat’s dreads were removed from his head by the legendary basketball player as a celebration for reaching one million subscribers on Twitch.
Earlier this year, DDG cut off his signature locs after reaching his own subscriber goal of 40,000 on Twitch.
During his Hit-A-Thon livestream, as more than 60,000 people watched, DDG had his dreads removed — but he announced right after that he’d be growing them back out. "I’m gonna go right back to where I started," he said. "I got to grow everything out."
