N.O.R.E. and Akon might not have collaborated musically, but they share a common rumor—fake hair. At the 2024 BET Awards, N.O.R.E. brought up this amusing topic while interviewing Akon on the red carpet.
N.O.R.E. kicked off the fun by revealing his fresh Caesar cut, joking, “They think me and you both got fake hair. They jealous of the waves!” Akon joined in, brushing his waves and quipping, “We went to Africa, not Turkey.“
Despite the speculation, N.O.R.E. insists his hair is natural. Back in April, he silenced doubters, including his friend Fat Joe, by proving his hair’s authenticity. N.O.R.E. posted an Instagram video where Fat Joe inspected his fuller head of hair, a stark contrast to his previously bald look. “It’s real!” N.O.R.E. repeatedly stated, as Fat Joe examined his hair.
Meanwhile, Akon has been open about getting a hair transplant in Turkey. On The Bootleg Kev Podcast, he detailed the $7,500 procedure, sharing that the numbing process was the most painful part. “The painful part is the beginning when they gotta numb you up. They stick a needle like this big and [stick it in your head] nonstop.” Akon remarked.
Interestingly, Akon pointed out the affordability of his procedure. He noted, “For what I did, it would’ve cost me 50 grand here in America!“
N.O.R.E. and Akon turned hair rumors into a light-hearted moment, showcasing their sense of humor.
