Welcome back to Don’t Alert the Stans! For this week’s episode, the boys are joined by Stefan Bertin who works as a celebrity hairstylist and groomer. Previous clients include Letitia Wright, Kehlani, Alexandra Burke, Katy Perry, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Gucci, Farfetch, Chanel and more. Kicking off this week’s news agenda is a story that illuminates Sope and Stefan’s mutual bond as Uncle’s; the announcement that soul legends Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle will be going head to head for the next #VERZUS (27:09). Tory Lanez has finally broken his silence regarding the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion and his response has been received less than favourably (44:55). The 2020 Rated Awards recently took place and as Nic reads out the nominees/winners, it’s evident that Eden is confused at some of the artists who were crowned this year (1:03:00). Rounding up this week’s episode is an in-depth interview with Stefan where he discusses the historic ties between music and iconic hairstyles over the years, the importance hair plays in the development of an artist’s image and marketing, his blossoming working relationship with Letitia Wright and his adoration for Mary J. Blige and Ledisi (1:45:17). Not one to miss!
