David Banner stepped onstage with curls popping, layers flowing, and enough bounce to rival the best fresh press. He rocked the style while performing at “Bun B Presents Been Ridin’ Dirty,” the 30th anniversary concert on Aug. 1. When the rapper hit the stage, the audience immediately lit up.

David brought bars and energy – with a hair flip and a skip right along with it.

His hair – done by hairstylist and wig designer Andrea Mona Bowman – deserves its own spotlight. The style was shiny, voluminous, and full of body. His face-framing layers showed off everything we love about David Banner.

Andrea shared on Instagram that David’s look was inspired by Terrence Howard’s Cadillac Richie from “Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist.” She also noted that the style paid tribute to Pimp C.

And that skip? That was the icing on the cake, giving us a mix of Black boy joy and grown man confidence. No one owns a stage — or shakes a custom wig (as we can now say) — quite like David Banner.

David Banner’s Unexpected Hair Moment Had Fans Talking

It’s no surprise that fans had something to say about his unexpected hair moment. Fans ate it up.

“ I need this hair routine!! Them curls poppin, voluminous and flowin!!” one fan wrote.n“Please tell me if this is a Press n Curl or Perm… cause I’m loving the bouncing and behaving hairdo,” another added. “I came for the BOUNCE and BODY that @davidbanner had,” one commenter wrote.

David complemented the hair with a full retro-inspired look. He wore a green vest and matching pants with a patterned button-down underneath. Tinted glasses, an umbrella, fur hat, and a pinky ring finished the look.

Of course, the hair and fit weren’t the only thing fans noticed. David Banner has long been a heartthrob.

The Mississippi rapper oozes grown man energy with swagger, confidence and style that can never be imitated or duplicated. The “Like a Pimp” rapper is one of those men who knows who he is and what he’s doing at all times.
