Residents, the internet is buzzing once again, and this time it's all about Central Cee's latest hairstyle. The British rapper, known for his bold fashion choices, unveiled his new Bantu Knots look while recording a music video with American artist Lil Durk.
For those unfamiliar, Lil Durk is a prominent figure in the American rap scene, known for his emotionally charged lyrics and collaborations with some of the biggest names in the industry. His partnership with Central Cee is sure to produce something noteworthy, but it's Cee's hair that's stealing the spotlight at the moment.
Bantu Knots, the hairstyle in question, is a traditional African style originating from the Zulu people of southern Africa. The look involves twisting sections of hair into small, coiled knots that form spiraled buns, making it both culturally significant and stylish.
Social media users have had mixed reactions to Cee's new look. Instagram user tracy_says_xo remarked, “I promise we have bigger problems than what’s on central’s head top,” while tonijo83 humorously referenced Adele’s past hairstyle, saying, “Remember, Adele did it first, and better.”
Another resident, andrethegeniusmusic, pointed out the commonality of the hairstyle within Caribbean culture, suggesting that the topic was overblown.
Comedian abrahambunga added a light-hearted take, calling it “typical west London antics,” which received its fair share of laughs.
This isn't the first instance of Central Cee has sent the internet into a flurry as earlier this year he was involved in a controversial love triangle.
Central Cee's ex-girlfriend, Madeline Argy, recently opened up about their messy breakup in a viral TikTok video. The couple, who began dating in September 2022, called it quits last year. However, just hours after their split, Central Cee was spotted with rapper Ice Spice, sparking dating rumors.
Madeline revealed that she was expecting a conversation about their relationship with Central Cee, but instead, he was seen with Ice Spice, leaving her blindsided. She also shared screenshots of flirty DMs from Central Cee, where he expressed his feelings for her despite being with Ice Spice.
Adding fuel to the fire, Ice Spice dropped a new track featuring Central Cee, which explores themes of infidelity, further hinting at the tension between the trio. The situation has left fans buzzing and speculating about the drama behind the scenes.
So, Residents, what do you think? Are you feeling Central Cee’s new hairstyle, or is this one a miss?
