Damn,
we
can’t
have
nothing.
First,
the
Swag
Surf,
and
now
the
fade
haircut.
Barbershop
enthusiasts
are
stark
raving
mad,
and
understandably
so,
after
witnessing
the
colonization
of
the
fade
haircut.
The
hairstyle
that
Queensbridge
MC
NaS
and
other
rappers
have
famously
donned
has
become
the
go-to
hair
choice
for
white
men
trying
to
be
like
Kansas
City
Chiefs
tight
end
and
Taylor
Swift’s
boo,
Travis
Kelce.
Like
with
the
Taylor
Swift
Swag
Surf
incident,
Kelce
is
not
directly
responsible
for
what’s
going
on;
instead,
a
news
article
from
the
New
York
Times
is
getting
folks
riled
up.
In
the
article,
Jeffrey
Dugas,
a
barber
at
Obsidian
Barbers
in
New
Brunswick,
Canada,
says
his
white
clientele
are
rushing
to
his
shop
to
get
the
“Travis
Kelce
cut”
because
they
know
he
made
the
hairstyle
popping,
according
to
them.
Black
folks
on
X
collectively
rolled
their
eyes,
pointing
out
that
Kelce’s
haircut
ain’t
nothing
but
a
damn
fade.
“Isn’t
the
Travis
Kelce
haircut
a
regular
fade??
Isn’t
this
more
Caucasian
people
throwing
sum
blonde
hair
on
things
POC
been
doing
and
saying
it’s
new
and
exciting/trendsetting?”
another
post
on
X,
formally
Twitter,
read.
There
were
white
folks
just
as
perplexed.
“That’s
called
a
buzz
cut
and
it
has
been
an
extremely
popular
hairstyle
for
men
for
like…
a
century,”
a
post
read.
Another
noted,
“Isn’t
the
Travis
Kelce

a

more
Caucasian
people

blonde
hair

and
saying

new
and

Bossip
reports.
We’re
sure
even
Travis
Kelce
rolled
his
eyes
at
any
posts
suggesting
he
made
the
fade
popular
or
invented
the
haircut.
