Mexican rapper Dan Sur drew attention in 2021 by wearing gold-colored chains from his scalp and saying they were attached to implanted hooks. In videos reported by Chilean broadcaster TVN’s 24 Horas, he explained that he wanted a look different from conventional hair dye.
The visible chains and his explanation were widely shared. The surgical details remain his account. Public reporting reviewed for this story does not independently establish the implants’ composition, the procedure’s clinical details or his claim to have been the first rapper with such a look.
