Along similar lines, one fan commented: “Look like employee of the month at Chick-fil-A.”
In a twist, it turned out Slim did not actually shave his beard off and that the original image may have been altered.
In a follow-up post, Slim posted a video of himself in front of a mirror still sporting his long beard. In the clip he says: “Beard still intact, longer than ever.”

This is not the first time Slim Thug has created a commotion on social media. Footage surfaced on social media in July of the Houston rapper being attacked by a bird while relaxing at his house.
The home security video shows Thug lying on a sunbed in his garden when the bird lands on his knee, startling him.

The bird then appears to begin attacking the rapper, who jumps to his feet and runs away, flailing his arms in an attempt to dodge the bird’s beak and claws.
The Boss Hogg later jumped on Instagram Live to discuss the bizarre incident, revealing he killed the bird by punching it.
“Y’all ain’t gonna believe this shit […] I’m laying down like this […] A fucking bird landed on my knee! I pushed the bird off of me, I jump up, the bird followed me,” he said.
“The bird is after me like this with his claw! The n-gga trying to get me! I turn around, I’m like, ‘What are you moving for? You got hands.’

“I hit the bird and killed the bird. I punched the bird and knocked his ass out! This is fucking crazy. I knocked his ass out. I caught him with a right, I stepped back.”
Thug also zoomed in on the bird lying motionless on the ground in his garden.
