Atlanta Barbershop Owner Faces Backlash After Hosting Trump Campaign Event

The controversy surrounding the Black American Business Leader Barbershop Roundtable event at Rocky’s Barbershop continues to unfold as new details emerge. Despite initially expressing surprise and disappointment over the political nature of the event, it has come to light that the barbershop owner, Rocky Jones, did sign an agreement with the Trump campaign and received payment for hosting the event.

The contract, released by the Trump team, clearly outlines the terms of the agreement, including a payment of $4,800 for the use of Rocky’s Barbershop for a political event. While Jones initially stated that he was unaware of the event’s political nature and felt betrayed by how it unfolded, the contract indicates otherwise.

In response to the revelation, Jones has stated that he plans to return the money he received for hosting the event. This development adds a new layer to the story, raising questions about the barbershop owner’s involvement and knowledge of the event’s purpose.

As the situation continues to develop, it remains to be seen how Jones and the Trump campaign will address the discrepancy between his initial statements and the contract that has been made public. The fallout from the event has already led to a decrease in business for Rocky’s Barbershop, and this latest revelation is likely to further impact the barbershop’s reputation and customer base. Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding story.
