Drake‘s new hairdo has sparked a ton of jokes from his celebrity friends.

On Thursday, the rapper debuted his new look — a slicked back fro/mullet — on Instagram and asked his followers to “give this guy a name.” He was then met with a few amusing responses from friends and peers who took the opportunity to poke fun at him.

“RAZOR AUBREY RAMONE aka SCOTT HALL,” Quavo wrote in the comments. The Game suggested “Lionel Hella Richie,” and UGK‘s Bun B told Drake to call his new look “Slick Willie Brown.”

“Church Preach Tabernacle” — suggested by Snoop Dogg‘s son Cordell Broadus — and Popcaan‘s “Big pimpin me killy” were among the other funny names listed as a response to Drake’s new ‘do.

Drizzy’s new hairstyle arrives months after he made headlines for braiding his hair. He previously rocked what was then his signature fade.

Lil Wayne‘s Lil Weezyana Fest has been postponed days before it was set to take place. The event, originally scheduled for this weekend, has been pushed back to the fall. 

In a post announcing the news, Wayne chalked the delay up to “unforeseen circumstances.” He then issued an apology to those who’d already purchased tickets to the show.

“It is with my sincerest apologies that I must announce…due to unforeseen circumstances, Lil Weezyana Fest will be postponed until Oct 29,” he wrote on Instagram. “To my fans, you know I always want to deliver the best show possible and we hope this has not inconvenienced you in anyway.” 

Weezyana Festival, Wayne’s annual event in his hometown of New Orleans, will feature performances from Moneybagg Yo, Coi Leray, Babyface Ray and Rob4, as well as some “unsurprised guests.” Tickets for the original sold-out show will be honored.
