He’s also built up a steady clientele of other big names in music, including Solange, Nicki Minaj and Mary J. Blige.

The salon is located at 709 Fulton Street Brooklyn, NY 11217.

The news comes as Minaj as well as rapper Busta Rhymes, who roots extend to Jamaica, have both donated to the flood relief. Trinidad suffered unprecedented flooding on the weekend of Oct. 19, 2018.
