Ghanaian musician Mr. Drew has shed light on the inspiration and struggles behind his signature bald look, revealing that while it sets him apart in the industry, it also comes with its own set of challenges.
In a recent interview the singer explained that one of the biggest downsides of being bald is dealing with the sun’s intensity.
“We can’t really walk in the sun because ego really blaze the brain, yeah man,” he said in Pidgin English, highlighting how direct sunlight can be uncomfortable.
Due to this, the ‘Sum) mi’ hitmaker prefers to avoid daytime video shoots.
“I don’t like shoots during the day. I remember like if we get shoots during the day, ano like am. Chale, edey make my head dey ache. Coz the sun shines direct, edey cool your brain. Chale, ano fit,” he shared.
On a lighter note, Mr. Drew pointed out that being bald comes with financial perks, as he spends little on grooming.
“Bald cut – easy going. Barbers no dey chop my money coz me naa Adey shave my head. If you go chop my money, ebe sake of my beard,” he joked.
When asked what inspired his look, the singer said he deliberately chose it to stand out in an industry where many artists opt for dreadlocks and other hairstyles.
“I wanted something that would stand out,” he stated.
Interestingly, Mr. Drew’s bald style is not due to hair loss. He clarified that shaving his head is a personal choice and that he can grow his hair back whenever he wants.
