Sarkodie’s previous hairstyle, which featured thick hair with a fade on the sides, has been replaced with a much lower cut.

The new look has light hair in the middle, a light fade on the sides, and a curved line in the corner. He also took off his trademark goatee and left a little moustache.

Both musicians wore black outfits to the event, with Shatta Wale completing his look with a cap.

While the haircut itself has sparked reactions, many social media users were more surprised to see the two together in a friendly manner, given their past conflicts.

The relationship between Sarkodie and Shatta Wale has been filled with tension over the years. In 2018, Sarkodie responded to criticism from Shatta Wale by releasing the diss track My Advice, in which he strongly called out the dancehall artist.

Following the diss, Sarkodie kept his distance, later explaining that Shatta Wale’s comments on social media were disrespectful. He stated that as a friend, he would have preferred private discussions rather than public criticism.

However, Shatta Wale maintained that their rivalry was purely for showbiz. He has repeatedly claimed that Sarkodie should not take their exchanges personally, insisting that their back-and-forth benefits both of them.

At one point, Shatta Wale even called Sarkodie a hypocrite after the rapper congratulated him on his collaboration with Beyoncé, suggesting the gesture was not genuine.

Sarkodie's new cut may impact his brand

Speaking to YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh shared his thoughts on Sarkodie's new facial change and the impact it can have on his brand. He said:

"Depending on the focus, it can impact the brand. An artist like MzVee was affected when she wanted to move away from her natural girl look to another. A drastic change can make your brand unrecognizable to some fans."
