The heart-shaped flourish has also appeared at times, like at a concert on Oct. 30, 2021, in Long Beach, California.

The “Hotline Bling” star is way more than his hair. He has had more than 20 No. 1 hits on the R&B/Hiphop Billboard charts (including 12 as the lead performer).

But fans had plenty of opinions ― and jokes ― about what’s been happening on his head.
