Joselyn Jose Jagz stated:
"In the western world it is more of your productivity and the value you bring to the table. Your hairstyle or other things added to your looks is not mainly an issue. A lawyer or a doctor will be seen with tattoos, locks, earrings, etc."

"You ain't making sense boss. There is something we call brand, that's his brand as an artist. You don't expect him to go there dressed like a class one teacher. As big as Otumfuor is some American footballers and artist visit him in casual wears with earing and all that. And he has no problem with that, he even blesses them. that's their brand."
