Did haile selassie are dread look rasta or not?

Haile Selassie, the former Emperor of Ethiopia, is often associated with the Rastafarian movement, which sees him as a messianic figure. His appearance, particularly his regal bearing and hairstyle, has inspired many Rastas to adopt dreadlocks as a symbol of their faith and cultural identity. While Selassie himself did not publicly identify as a Rastafarian, his legacy and image have significantly influenced the movement.
