Yung Joc Blazes the Internet After Revealing New Man Bun Hair Style: ‘He Got Baby Hair’

Yung Joc has the Internet buzzing over one of his hairstyles again.

If you recall, in 2016, he introduced the world to his relaxed, parted hairdo that people are still talking about, and that was just one of his much-talked about styles. Now Joc has gone with a man bun, which was displayed in a 360 degree Instagram video.

The clip of the hairdo wasn’t posted by Joc, his barber Korey Tha Barmberman uploaded it and surprise, surprise, there were a slew of comments.

“You got this guy looking like somebody’s lesbian uncle,” someone wrote.

“Man, what the f— was he [thinking]? He got baby hair,” wrote another.

“Turned this n—- into Mr. Stanley from the movie ‘Friday.’ SMH,” a third person commented.

But others said they appreciate Joc’s willingness to try different styles and not follow what everyone else is doing. Plus, there’s some who said they want the exact same look as the rapper and praised Korey Tha Barberman’s clipper techniques.

“I love the fact that he’s down to experiment with his style,” one person wrote about Joc..

“I see you. Looks great,” another commented.

Those people, however, didn’t outnumber the ones who were either confused by the man bun style or straight up hated it.

“Everyone saying it’s nice is lying,” wrote Instagram user Bryan1987.

Joc hasn’t mentioned the hairdo at all, nor has he replied to the feedback. But in 2016 when he revealed that first controversial hairdo, he explained why he chooses different looks at times.

“It’s cool to be a follower I guess,” he said. “See, all y’all wanna look alike. But what if I just chose to do something different, because I know your motherf—-n ass was going to talk about it.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
