Aside from his amazing lyricism, American hip-hop icon Eminem is perhaps best known for his clean-cut look and peroxide blonde hair.
The 44-year-old “Berzerk” rapper recently ditched his trademark style for a more natural one and even sported a beard.
“Just a couple of guys from Compton and one from Detroit. With a beard. #thedefiantones”, he captioned a photo of himself alongside hiphop royalties Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar.
Due to his immense popularity among the masses, the seemingly subtle change caused quite a stir on social media.
Several fans took to Twitter to weigh in on Eminem’s “mature” look, starting with his hip-hop mates from D12.
