Rapper Nas, is not just a music hero to millions of music fans but also a fashion figure, the rapper that is always at the headlining post of the most stylish looks in music fashion had this to say “Being an international artist, I do shows around the world and I need to look and stay fresh at all times. My barber always uses Andis clippers, trimmers and accessories to cut my hair in the U.S. When I’m on tour overseas, he’ll carry converters to convert from the U.S. voltage to the local voltage burning a lot of clippers and with the clippers making so much noise. Now with the Andis Clippers available in international 220v, he just plugs and use. So whether we are in Lagos, Nigeria or Cape Town, South Africa, or any where else around the world, he uses Andis clippers and trimmers to keep me looking fresh” stated Nas.
