Nigerian American rapper, Olubowale Victor Akintimehin, better known by his stage name Wale, has indicated that he may be cutting his signature dreadlocks soon.
He shared a photo of his barber holding up strands of the hair ready to cut them off. Wale said the move was towards finding happiness.
“Man idk what I’m doing but I know I need to make changes .. find my happiness, could this be phase one? I’ll be leaving you guys for a while.. my friend @issarae says it’s time to change up .. my man @renaldowilliams says it’s time,” he wrote in an IG post.
Wale’s latest album, Shine, dropped in April. He revealed shortly afterward that he is working on a go-go album with Pharrell. “I’m working with Pharrell on that. We already started working on some stuff,” he said. “I’m also working with UCB a lot. I’ve been talking to Backyard about some things.”
