Octopizzo's latest appearance on Citizen TV's 10 over 10 musical show on Friday night has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many focusing on his new hairstyle rather than his music.

During the show, the rapper discussed his latest single, 'Kanye', but it was his hairdo that caught the attention of netizens.

Octopizzo, known for shaving his head with a small patch of hair left on the crown, surprised fans by plaiting cornrows at the crown and topping it off with a hair extension.

His shiny forehead also became a topic of interest, with many taking to Twitter to share their thoughts.

Some of the reactions include:

  • “Hizo laini kwa kichwa ziko down kama tu mistari ya ngoma zake,” said @bokono.
  • “Hiyo hairstyles imenikumbusha tusichana twa choir na worship,” wrote @bennytothedj.
  • “Pizzo kwani anatumia lotion gani?” asked @langatvick.
  • “Huyu ameshukwa mwongezo na akajipaka elianto kwa uso,” commented @shishhope.
  • “I’m just here wondering about that forehead and the fact that Octo ameshuka lines za mosodo na akaweka extension bun,” stated @AKenyanGirl.
