Fans honed in on the statement “Imagine if Ninja got a low taper fade” and turned it into a meme that Ninja then referenced for so long that mocking him over it became a kind of sub-meme.

For example, high, mid, low ... That's just how to taper the sides. Modern comb-over hairstyles or comb-over fade haircuts are actually related to each other. The side part is almost the same.

So, does Ninja have a 'low taper fade'? As of Jan. 15, Ninja claims he now has a low taper fade — but whether the haircut is an accurate low taper fade seems to be up for debate in the comments.
