RIHANNA always wanted dreadlocks since she was a teenager and now she has them, even if they are not authentic. The Bajan pop star debuted her new look on Instagram, postings photos of her dreadlocks extension. “Buffalo $oldier,” she captioned one of the photos.Since she posted the pics several reggae/dancehall artists have cosigned her long thick locks including Mavado and Spice. One fan asked Rihanna on Twitter why she chose to get dreads and she responded, “since I was 14, but mama Fent’z wasn’t havin it! Hehe.”
