In photos shared on Instagram, Saahene appeared with braided hair and facial hair, a major change from his usual low-cut fade and clean-shaven face.
His transformation made him almost unrecognisable and he also displayed his fashion sense, wearing expensive designer outfits.
Saahene Osei was absent from social media for months, with his last post dating back to 2024. His return has attracted attention, with many reacting to his new appearance.
In some of the photos, he pushed the boundaries of fashion as he put on rugged oversized distressed jeans shorts as well as a crop top and some sneakers.
In some other photos, he went for a gentler appearance as he donned casual jeans and long-sleeved shirts. He also tried to hide his face a bit by cropping his head out of some of the photos while he blocked his face with his phone in other mirror selfies.
While Saahene enjoys an opulent lifestyle, his father, Osei Kwame Despite has been busy trying to make more money. The multi-millionaire recently unveiled the Despite Automobile Museum, a multimillion-dollar facility showcasing luxury and vintage cars.
The museum, launched on Despite’s 63rd birthday, features a collection of high-end vehicles displayed in a well-designed interior.
The exterior of the museum includes modern architectural designs with advanced lighting systems. There is also an outdoor section with water features that enhance the beauty of the property.

Sharing the photos, Saahene likened his life to GTA (Grand Theft Auto), a popular action-adventure game.
"gta in real life," he said.
Ms Elizabeth Frimpong shared her thoughts on the recent trend of boys getting their hair braided. According to her, even though once upon a time society frowned on men getting braids these days, it has become acceptable and many men choose this hairstyle particularly because that is what many people accept as a "good looking gentleman"
"Gone were the days when men presented themselves with low trimmed cuts, these days it has become universally acceptable for men to go into the salon and get their hair braided. This is what is generally considered a good looking man in today's world. she said.
