In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh, the 29-year-old star cherry-picked his favourite Ghanaian female singers.
Scores of his fans couldn't help but spot the differences in his new look after watching the video. Darkovibes, who now wears his hair twisted, was in a Black Stars jersey and super dark sunglasses as he spoke to the interviewer.
In the comments section, many expressed concern about the Stay Woke hitmaker's appearance, arguing that he looked nothing like he did in his heyday.
Darkovibes, a former member of Ghana's boy band La Même Gang, was beloved for his compelling melodies, as well as his swanky style and looks.
At a point in his career, Darkovibes was featured in top fashion magazines that sought to document his style and music.
Speaking to YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst, Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh, weighed in on the frenzy around Darkovibes' frenzy after the release of his new single, saying
"The look many are refering to is not new. Darko has had it for a while but many have not paid attention because he himself decided to lay low. I'm sure he will agree. So a huge part of the frenzy is deserved cos these are fans who have been with him. But these changes are also normal. There is no need for people to dramatise and read meanings."

With top hits like Je M'appelle, featuring Davido, and Inna Song, featuring King Promise, the singer remains atop many promoters' wishlists. However, his commitment to music and career has seemingly dwindled.
Recently, he admitted his reduced appetite for music and the limelight in a post as he outdoor his new song, Snap.
The 29-year-old sensation, who is a close associate of R2Bees, Wizkid and other big stars, said:
"Back to back, Gbedu start dey enter. Brace yourselves! I promised consistency and that's what I am doing all year round. This is just the beginning."
