Ludacris Responds to African Barbershops Using His Likeness

Ludacris Reacts to Barbershops Worldwide Using His Image

Ludacris has finally addressed the widespread use of his image in barbershops across Africa and beyond.

In Kenya, his iconic fade has been a staple in barbershops for years, used as a reference for stylish haircuts. However, the trend isn’t limited to Kenya—it extends globally, from Europe to the Caribbean.

In a TikTok post, Ludacris responded to a fan who asked if he was aware that his face was displayed in countless barbershops.

“Not only do I know that they got my side beards and my cut plastered all around Africa, Europe, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico,” he said. “The only thing I’ve been trying to figure out is—who’s getting all of my residuals?”
