Y?Gentleman Barbershop
The men’s hair and grooming establishment is not his first foray into business. South African rap artist YoungstaCPT took to his social media page to announce he’d launched his latest business initiative – a barbershop. “A year ago we opened the doors to our first two stores. As our marathon continues, tomorrow we launch our barbershop on the block called Y?Gentleman. Salutas (Thank you) to the team for pushing during the Covid-19 pandemic,” he wrote on his Twitter feed.
Y?GEN Apparel
YoungstaCPT, under the tutelage of his mother, has been stunting since he was a child. As a stylist, a designer and a model, she ensured that her home was constantly bustling with the hottest looks and new personal takes on the fashion at the time. This inspired Youngsta CPT to conceptualise, develop and maintain Y?GEN Apparel. The rapper has been marketing his clothing line through photography and music videos as well as collaborating with other brands throughout its existence.
Y?GEN Store
YoungstaCPT has officially opened up his store in Cape Town for his Y? GEN clothing line. The store consists of a new range of clothes from the already existing tees he created. Y?GEN is also a one-stop entertainment shop, positioned as an agency representing artistry, events and trade – such as his clothing brand.
