Joshua is back on the social media trends just days after being spotted celebrating the birthday of billionaire Aliko Dangote in Lagos.
Joshua traveled to Ogun State, his hometown, where he opted for a street-side haircut, further endearing himself to fans.
Joshua appeared at ease as the barber worked on his signature high skin fade with textured Afro top—a hairstyle he typically gets from his trusted London barber, Mark Maciver of SliderCuts.
The post, which garnered significant attention online, came with a humorous caption from Joshua himself: “Shout out to my Barba in Naija, this trim cost me 50p, but obviously we niced uncle.

"If @slidercut doesn't lower his price on behalf of London i will deliver deadliest upper cut."
His lighthearted jab at the affordability of the haircut—compared to what he might pay in London—didn’t go unnoticed.

He is surrounded by an excited crowd of onlookers, with fuji music adding to the lively atmosphere.
