‘I’ve never cut them since birth. But at the age of 21, it was the first time that I did cut my dreadlocks,’ says America, who also goes by the name Sparta King. ‘There’s a few things I need to boost my music career. I know it’s legal and 100% natural. I’ve heard that there might be people interested in buying. So I’ve recently decided to sell them since a lot of people approached me.’

As reported by IOL, America is selling the bunch of 30 dreads on Facebook Marketplace for R3 000.
