N.O.R.E. and Akon Joke About “Fake Hair” Accusations at 2024 BET Awards

At the recent 2024 BET Awards, N.O.R.E. and Akon found themselves bonding over a shared experience – being accused of having “fake hair.” The two artists, who have never collaborated before, shared a light-hearted moment on the red carpet when N.O.R.E. brought up the topic during an interview with Akon.

As N.O.R.E. took off his hat to reveal his crisp ceasar cut, he jokingly remarked to Akon, “They think me and you both got fake hair. They jealous of the waves!” The two then proceeded to playfully brush their hair and share a laugh, with N.O.R.E. quipping, “We went to Africa, not Turkey.”

Despite the speculation surrounding his hair, N.O.R.E. has been vocal about the authenticity of his new look. In a video shared on Instagram back in April, the Queens native proved to his friend Fat Joe that his hair is indeed real, showcasing a thicker head of hair that marked a drastic change from his previously bald appearance.

While N.O.R.E. insists that his hair is all natural, Akon has been more transparent about his own hair transformation journey. The “Locked Up” singer revealed on The Bootleg Kev Podcast that he underwent a $7,500 hair transplant procedure in Turkey, highlighting the affordability and effectiveness of the treatment compared to options in the United States.

The light-hearted exchange between N.O.R.E. and Akon at the BET Awards not only showcased their sense of humor but also shed light on the different approaches artists take when it comes to addressing hair-related rumors in the entertainment industry.
