There were some fans who were very supportive of Jack Harlow’s choice of wardrobe. “I mean, it protects curls. He has curly hair,” wrote one fan, while another added: “We will ignore it! We love a man that can take care of himself.”
A third person couldn’t understand all the resultant hoopla around his choice of headgear. “Whats so bad about wearing a bonnet?” wrote the fan.

However, the majority of fans were quick to call out Jack Harlow’s choice of wearing a bonnet, which is popular protective headgear for Black women, and has recently been the subject of much online discourse about the propriety of wearing it in public.
“yk i thought you was cool @jackharlow but this? oh i’m taking this as DISRESPECT. i need you to TAKE IT OFF,” wrote one fan.
“interestingly enough no one is saying he’s ghetto or looks a mess but let it be a black woman… the jokes write themselves…” wrote another.
While he might lose a few fans due to his choice of headgear, Jack Harlow certainly has a fan in Ludacris, who recently gave the White Men Can’t Jump star his flowers for his reworking of “Glamorous” on his smash hit “First Class.”
The Atlanta rapper sat down with GQ to discuss some of his most iconic tracks like “Southern Hospitality,” “Area Codes,” “Move Bitch,” as well as “Glamorous,” his collaboration with Fergie.

The double-platinum track appeared on the former Black Eyed Peas singer’s debut album, The Dutchess, released in 2006. According to Ludacris, in discussing how the collaboration came about, he had to consider the fact that Fergie had a more pop-oriented style, whereas he had more of a gritty, Southern sound.
“How does this fit into the Ludacris world?” he said he asked himself. “Not only how can I get out of my comfort zone and continue to do things that sometimes people wouldn’t expect me to do, but it’s [about] still trying to come [up] with different subject matter and working with an artist that people haven’t seen me with,” he said.
