Gulu, Uganda — Ugandan entertainer Kamuzu Urban Niga has sparked discussion online after appearing with a completely different hairstyle following a short stay in police custody in Northern Uganda.

Authorities detained him for several days while the matter was being handled.

After spending some time in custody, Kamuzu Urban Niga was later released.

However, what caught the attention of many of his followers was not only the news of his arrest but also a major change in his appearance. The performer, who was widely recognized for his long dreadlocks, appeared online with a shaved head shortly after leaving detention.
