And, his recommendation was quite simple. Start dressing like Michael Jordan and go on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Similar to how he did with his dresses back when they were still a novelty. So, he recommended a tailor-made suit, like the one Michael Jordan wears, dying his hair back to its natural color, and last but not least. appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Take a look at the tweet below by Complex.

“‘You know what you need to do?’ he told me. ‘You need to get you a tailor-made suit, something that Michael Jordan would wear. Dye your hair back to its natural color, take off the sunglasses and go on Oprah. You will blow people’s minds. The same way you blew their minds when you put on a dress.'”
