A masterpiece isn’t made overnight. Neither is a man who knows exactly who he is.
For @davidbanner, the art of self-expression begins at the root, where care, intention and a lifetime of growth shape the man the world sees today.
Our latest digital cover, in partnership with @headandshoulders, celebrates the evolution of Black masculinity, the rituals behind the presentation and the confidence that comes with having nothing left to prove.

David Banner believes the things people think about and discuss every day are their true prayers. During a conversation with Shannon Sharpe, the Mississippi rapper, producer, and actor explained his perspective on the relationship between prayer, manifestation, and success. According to Banner, someone can pray for prosperity and happiness, but their daily thoughts and conversations reveal what they are consistently focusing their attention on.
Banner used Shannon Sharpe’s successful career as an example of someone whose desire for success was reflected in his mindset and actions. He also discussed how his understanding of spirituality has developed throughout his own career and why he believes people have more influence over their circumstances than they realize. His message emphasizes becoming more conscious of the words we speak, the thoughts we repeat, and the things we consistently focus on. #davidbanner #shannonsharpe #faith

There’s nothing like a fresh cut! The look is one thing, but the way it makes you feel? That’s something special.
@davidbanner knows that feeling goes deeper than a haircut. Like soul food, the experience carries a sense of pride, comfort and connection that speaks to something uniquely rooted in our culture.
His latest EBONY digital cover, in partnership with @headandshoulders, celebrates the cultural significance of self-care and the connection between looking good, feeling good and honoring who we are.

So what’s crazy is I was sent this video I believe because it had my name in it but I was just telling @cokebumaye that this is the first time in my life that I’ve slowed down in my career and not over work like I always have. Even in acting I just stopped obsessing over the lines and perfection. If I do the work and “I am” then damn it “I am”! She is so so right. I’d take it further - It is a distraction to the soul. @creemyles thank you and I’m proud of you. Keep standing in your and its light!

@davidbanner knows his hair makes a statement. What he didn’t realize was how powerful that statement could be.
When a young fan told David his hair looked like a crown, it gave him a new perspective on the beauty he’d been carrying all along and took his confidence to another level.
Being head and shoulders above the rest isn’t about thinking you’re better than anyone else. It’s about believing in yourself, embracing what makes you unique and carrying that confidence without apology.
David’s latest EBONY cover, in partnership with @headandshoulders, is a reminder that self-love runs deep, from the care we give our hair to the pride we take in expressing who we are.

Ask David Banner about his greatest accomplishment, and he’ll take you back to @southernu_br.
His HBCU experience shaped more than his education. From serving as student government president to learning the power of community and self-worth, those lessons remain with him today.
For @davidbanner, confidence starts at the roots, with the care we give our hair and the beauty we recognize in ourselves. That kind of self-love should be the standard, not revolutionary.
In our latest digital cover, in partnership with @headandshoulders, David reflects on the experiences and intention behind his growth.

David Banner reflected on his journey from homelessness to securing a $10 million record deal during an appearance on Still 400: The Mannie & Juvie Show, hosted by Cash Money Records legends Juvenile and Mannie Fresh. The Mississippi rapper and producer recalled a period when he was sleeping in his van, long before achieving commercial success in the music industry. Juvenile, who remembered Banner’s early struggles, confirmed witnessing that chapter of his life as the three discussed the experiences that contributed to Banner’s personal and professional growth.
During the conversation with Juvenile and Mannie Fresh, Banner also shared his perspective on the importance of understanding life’s journey, explaining that people often know individual chapters of someone’s life without knowing their entire story. Looking back, he believes every experience played a role in preparing him for what came next. His reflections offer a glimpse into the realities of building a career in hip-hop, the challenges that come before major opportunities, and the perspective that comes with decades of experience in the music industry. #davidbanner #advice #manifestation

Before David Banner became a solo artist, he was part of Crooked Lettaz, a Mississippi hip-hop group he formed with Brad “Kamikaze” Franklin and DJ Phinga Print. Banner recalls how they recorded three songs and started sending their music across the country using a FedEx account from Franklin’s workplace. They also launched a fax campaign targeting The Source magazine, sending daily countdown messages announcing that Crooked Lettaz was coming. Their persistence eventually earned them a spot in the magazine’s influential Unsigned Hype column, opening the door to record deals with Correct Records and later Penalty Recordings.
Banner also remembers how New York rapper N.O.R.E., formerly known as Noreaga, supported Crooked Lettaz at a time when Southern hip-hop was still fighting for recognition in New York. According to Banner, N.O.R.E. asked Penalty Records executive Neil Levine to provide $90,000 for the group’s music video after receiving a major video budget of his own. N.O.R.E. also appeared on Crooked Lettaz’s single “Firewater,” from their 1999 album Grey Skies. Looking back, Banner credits N.O.R.E. for supporting Southern artists and helping give Mississippi hip-hop a platform during an important period in his early music career. #davidbanner #nore #newyork

David Banner is featured on the October 2026 cover of EBONY in a feature titled Bigger Than the Program, presented in partnership with Head & Shoulders. In an interview with EBONY’s Fashion & Beauty Editor Victor Qunnuell Vaughns Jr., the Mississippi rapper, producer, and actor reflects on his career, personal growth, and the confidence he’s developed over more than two decades in entertainment. From his early days in hip-hop to his work in television, film, and entrepreneurship, Banner discusses what it means to embrace his identity and remain comfortable with who he has become. “My confidence is on an all-time high. I am my only competition,” he tells the publication.
The cover story also explores Banner’s connection to his African heritage, the cultural significance of Black men’s hair, and the influence of his time at Southern University. Banner explains how his signature hairstyle reflects his connection to African ancestry and how his understanding of masculinity has evolved through self-reflection and forgiveness. He also discusses his latest music, including “Where You From,” and his ongoing television projects. The EBONY feature captures another chapter in Banner’s career as he continues to expand his work across music, acting, and public speaking.
