Rapper Machine Gun Kelly definitely got everyone’s attention Wednesday when pictures surfaced of him with no hair at all.
The 31-year-old singer’s bizarre new look generated headlines after he debuted his totally clean look after chopping off his blonde locks with a teaser about his new music video called “Papercuts,” BarstooolSports.com noted. (RELATED: Rapper Machine Gun Kelly: White Culture Kills Artists)
The rapper, born Colson Baker, went from a full head of floppy white blonde hair to none and showing off some kind of skull tattoo. (RELATED: Megan Fox Is Single Again After Brian Austin Green Confirms Separation)

The “Bad Things” hitmaker tweeted he “shaved” his head for the video, but didn’t explain much else.
“I shaved my head for this@_ColeBennett_’papercuts’ tomorrow 9pm,” Colson tweeted ahead of the drop Wednesday.

And while MGK admitted to shaving his head, it’s still unclear if the skull tattoo’s permanent or just for the video.
On Thursday, pictures surfaced of the rapper sporting once again his blonde hair and it turns out that the new look was all just for his video, Page Six reported.

Kelly reportedly worked with a crew of makeup artists to complete his costume which included covering up all his body tattoos and the use of a bald cap to get the clean look.
It was only the latest look for the the “Bloody Valentine” star, who at one point had long enough hair to touch his shoulders, and sported blue hair with a fringe for a date night with superstar girlfriend Megan Fox in March, Yahoo.com noted.
Update: The original story has been updated to reflect that the new look was just a costume for his music video.
