Hiplife artiste Borax, has cut off his signature dreadlocks for a job in parliament.
Known for his hit singles, ‘Nana Yaa’ and ‘Aseε Ho’, a song with highlife legend, Daddy Lumba, the musician has been off the music scene for a while now.
In 2014, he re-emerged onto the music scenes with the name ‘Big Borax’ indicating his readiness to entertain music fanatics to some tracks.
But that, speaking in an interview , the musician who now keeps an Afro hair, explained why he had to cut his dreadlocks.
“I took it off basically because; I actually had to suit the corporate world. I’m actually working at the parliament house now and obviously in that jurisdiction, they frown on locks. Especially when you are in a high office like that,” he revealed.
Borax further added that “I had to contemplate about it for over a month and I asked myself that if I should cut the locks, what will be my next image, should I have to strip off my whole hair? Then I said to myself, if I had to chop off the locks, then I think I’ll go for this cute afro.”
Borax, born Nathaniel Larbi, also admitted to being naïve at the peak of his music career and hinted of a possible comeback onto the music scene.
“When I was at the peak of my career, I was making much money and in life, there are ups and downs. So at the moment, I’m not at the peak of my career therefore, I need to get some primary source of income to support my music,” he said.
