Music producer Jermaine Dupri has a new hairdo, and he shared his new look in an Instagram Story. Fans were shocked by the normally hairless Dupri with an abundance of hair upon his head, and many had jokes.

The 50-year-old seemed excited about his new look in the clip. He also bragged about his $10,000 sunglasses. “Yeah, fresh… anyway, y’all be talkin’ ’bout about a drip. Man, look, the glasses, man, my glasses cost $10,000,” he said.

The Shade Room captured the Instagram Story, and fans dragged Dupri’s new look in the comments section.

“Why I thought he was Boosie,” joked one fan. “Welcome to Atlanta where the playas lace,” added another.

One fan advised Dupri that it was going to rain in Atlanta this week, so he should be on guard. “JD. It’s supposed to rain all week here in Atl. Guard ya wig by any means.” To that, another fan replied, “HOW I JUST SCREAMED OWWTT LOUD!!!! BLAHHHHHAAAA.”

Another fan asked, “That’s a lace front?”

“Okay Bishop,” added another fan. “It’s giving Otis from the Temptations vibes,” added another fan. “He been bald all this time now he wanna buy a wig,” noted another.

“Don’t nobody need $10k glasses,” noted one fan. “Your glasses cost $10,000? And that’s a flex?! Smh,” echoed another. A third who brought up Dupri’s ex said, “After you fumbled Janet Jackson, I can’t take you seriously no mo.”

“He been bald all this time now he wanna buy a wig,” concluded a fan.

Dupri also shared his new look on Twitter with the caption, “If I ain’t a Hot Boy, then what do you call that?” One Twitter user replied, “We gonna call it the Kid high top fade from House Party.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
