Keeping dreads, looking dapper, and having a nice car or phone seemingly gets the attention of these criminals in uniforms and what usually happens next isn’t pleasant. Some Nigerian youths have been forced to take off their dreads and due to this Rema is on a mission to create awareness with his latest hairstyle.

The singer who has been on dreads since he made his debut with “Dumebi” cut them off for a much lower hair cut to lend his support to the ongoing protests against police brutality across the country. Taking to his twitter page, he wrote that keeping dreads doesn’t mean he is a criminal. He wrote: â€œRema to the surprise of many of his fans debuted a new hairstyle on his social media.”
