The Cool Cats set a trend, and Focalistic seemingly executed it well. The Amapiano singer's latest Instagram post sparked some hilarious reactions from online users, who trolled the star.
Taking to Instagram on 21 September 2025, Focalistic posted a collection of photos and videos. In the post, he can be seen flaunting his new iPhone 17 Pro Max, outfit, getting his hair braided, and snippets of his live performances.
However, what stood out were his chunky Louis Vuitton sneakers with massive shoelaces that create the illusion that the shoe is a size 3. Some people also trolled him for braiding his hair instead of doing a brush cut.

Briefly News spoke to hair stylist and salon owner Vicky Eghan, who stated that it is very common for men to braid their hair, saying it is a trend that has been around for quite some time.
"Doing cornrows on the natural hair on men is not a shocker. This has been done for a while now. It typically takes about an hour to do a freehand and it also depends on how skilled the braider is."
