In an interview with Bro Emma on Obibini TV Studio, Okomfo Black stated that he would object to any call to cut off his dreadlocks.
Mzbel's son noted that his hairstyle had become part of his personality and that he would not sacrifice it for monetary gains. He said that he would only get a haircut on the condition that his action would save his family from a concerning situation.
He said:
"I have had my hair for a very long time, so at this point in time, it has become part of me. No money can let me cut off my hair, unless it is a family thing. The only way I will cut off my hair is if I have done something serious, and it is the only way I can save my family."
Okomfo Black stated that he had cut his hair in the past, but it later grew back within a few days.
The veteran singer's son shared his thoughts on the ongoing conversation about the ban on certain hairstyles across various Secondary schools in the country.
Okomfo Black also spoke about how the four schools he attended allowed him to keep his dreadlocks.
