Saweetie‘s new hairdo is the talk of the town.
On Friday (Dec. 24), the “Icy Grl” rapper debuted her new look — a blonde buzz cut — on social media. The haircut, which is a drastic change from her signature long tresses, immediately drew reactions from users who mainly seem to be in favor of the transformation.
“In love with Saweetie’s new buzz cut,” tweeted journalist @NolaMarianna. “She looks soooooooo GOOD!”
“Bald Saweetie is giving!” singer @SymphaniSoto tweeted.
@_SeaShells_ added that she is “all the way here for Saweetie’s bald head honey!
While some people questioned the reason for her haircut, fans of Saweetie jumped to her defense. Twitter user @elijahmgn called the critics “weird,” while @timabigprettyy insisted that she’s just “trying to grow her natural curls back.”
The new cut also drew comparisons to Amber Rose.
“My babes Saweetie going for the Amber Rose look!!” @Bryan09129860 penned in a tweet. “I LOVE I LOVE!!!”
“Amber rose walked so Saweetie could run,” added @TheLoganWyss.
Saweetie‘s new photos are part of a series of posts, including a twerking video, that capture her as she enjoys what appears to be a much-needed getaway. She previously revealed that she would spend the Christmas holiday on a tropical island with the hope to rest after a year of nonstop work.
“I’m going to take a deep breath and release some stress,” the “My Type” emcee told People. “Hopefully I’m able to evaluate, reflect on and see what I can do better next year because I work a lot.”
“Balance needs to happen,” she added. “I feel like I’m being run down to the ground right now and my body doesn’t feel good. I’ve had mental breakdowns and it’s just really stressful, but it’s nice to be acknowledged because it lets me know that my hard work isn’t going unnoticed.”
