Ricky Martin debuted some interesting facial hair on the 2019 Grammys red carpet: a stick-straight, slender mustache and a matching soul patch.

And according to social media, not everyone’s on board with the “She Bangs” singer’s new look.

“Ricky Martin is all of my uncles circa 1983,” one person tweeted of the star’s rather dated-looking ‘stache. Chimed in another, “Who told Ricky Martin that mustache looked good????? I wanna fight.” Asked a third: “I love me some Ricky Martin, but when did he get a porn stache?”

One person wondered whether the singer’s mustache might be a subtle nod to “Bohemian Rhapsody,” inquiring, “@ricky_martin Are you going for the Freddie Mercury look???”

But others seemed to be fans of Martin’s fresh facial hair. “This is now a #RickyMartinsMustache fan account,” tweeted Canadian entertainment show Etalk. Added another Twitter user: “Ricky Martin’s mustache has more Grammys than I ever will.”

Martin walked the red carpet with his son Matteo, 10, who didn’t seem to mind his dad’s newly fuzzy face.
