The COVID-19 pandemic has had many people struggling to keep up their looks due to many salons and barbershops being closed. Bow Wow appears to be in the midst of that same struggle.
On Monday, Oct. 26, the “Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta” star took to his Instagram page asking his fans for their opinions on whether he looked a little on the rough side, seeing that he hasn’t been to a barbershop in a while. “Ladies don’t lie to me yal’ll know i look a hot ass mess 😂😵#pandemicStruggle #wherethebarber,” the rapper captioned a photo of himself sporting a patchy beard and a baseball hat.
The post received over 34,000 likes from fans and over 1,200 comments from fans who had a lot say about his look thanks to Bow Wow’s request. Some supporters weren’t here for Bow Wow’s lack of attention to his appearance. “The barbers are all around!!!! If anything you could just shave it yourself sir,” one fan wrote.
Another person commented, “You live in Atlanta yall been open all pandemic tf lol.”
Others suggested tips on how the former rapper could improve his features, including one person who wrote, “Soon as you start using Minoxidil you’ll have a Kimbo Slice beard In 8 weeks I promise big homie.” A third user commented, “Lmao u need help with that peach fuzz u call that a beard hah🤣😂.”
Still, some couldn’t drag themselves to say anything mean about the “Let Me Hold You” rapper, including one person who wrote, “Sorry bae but yes you do 😂😂😂 SIKE ya hot mess look a billion times better than some dudes best 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️.”
Another chimed in, “You look like everyone through this pandemic. It’ll be alright looks arent everything personality is more. God Bless and be safe.”
The Billboard award winner is no stranger to online trolling. Not so long along, the “Like You” star’s attempt at flexing quickly backfired. In 2017, the rapper shared an Instagram post implying that he was preparing to fly in a charter jet to New York City to promote the We TV reality show. It wasn’t long afterward that fans exposed him for appearing to take a commercial flight instead, thus birthing #TheBowWowChallenge.
