Rapper Machine Gun Kelly appears to have pulled a fast one on everyone after tweeting that he “shaved” his head for his latest video showing him completely bald but now is sporting a full head of hair.
The 31-year-old rapper made headlines Wednesday after pictures surfaced of his bizarre new look sporting a totally clean-shaven head with a shiny black tattoo instead of his wavy blonde locks for a teaser about his new music video called “Papercuts,” BarstoolSports reported.

“I shaved my head for this@_ColeBennett_’papercuts’ tomorrow 9pm,” Colson tweeted ahead of the drop.
Despite the “Bad Things” hitmaker’s tweet and declaration about shaving his head bald, he revealed in the video Thursday that he still had his blonde hair and the new look was all just for his video, Page Six noted.

WATCH:
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 a clean look.
It was only the latest look for 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! Entertainment noted.
