For eons now, Nyashinski has been a towering figure in Kenyan music, his voice a soundtrack to countless lives.
But beyond chart-topping hits, one of his most defining features had been his signature dreadlocks. But earlier today he took to Instagram to showcase his freshly shaved head donning an afro.
From the early days with Kleptomaniax to his triumphant return to the music scene after a decade-long hiatus, his fans had gotten used to his laid-back persona and signature locks.
So when the rapper took to Instagram to reveal his freshly shaved head, it wasn’t just a haircut as he insinuated it was beginning of something new.
His caption, “And to imagine that at some point, even this version of you will be the old you. God willing,”
