Carmelo Hayes confirms the rumors.
Back in January, Lexis King stated that Carmelo Hayes hooked him up with one of his favorite barbers in the Orlando area. The barber took some flack for this online, as some fans have criticized King's hair/beard style in the past.
While speaking to Shakiel Mahjouri for a new interview, Hayes explained the situation surrounding King and his barber.
“Yeah, well, he’s not my barber. It’s funny, I’ve been getting heat for that. He hit me up when he was coming in. He’s like, ‘Hey, I need a barber.’ I said, ‘Hey, here’s a guy.’ You need to put respect on this barber’s name because he owns a lot of shops in Orlando. He’s a very renowned barber, so he gets a lot of flak for that. I mean, that was a choice. That beard is a choice. But I did hook him up. But Trick, myself, we’ve all gone to this guy. He’s never done any of us dirty like he did Lexis [laughs]"
Hayes went on to say that he thought King's look was outrageous.
"I mean, I respected it. I respected the commitment. I think it was kind of outrageous, but like I said, he committed to the look, and you can’t knock him for that. It’s working for him, and people hate it, and that’s kind of what you want, right?”
Elsewhere in the interview, Hayes talked about getting thrown in the deep end on the main roster in WWE. Learn more about those comments by clicking here.
