Jake Paul gives hairdresser surprise gift instead of cash, calls him 'best barber in the world'
CLEVELAND, OHIO: Jake Paul recently flew his barber from Canada to Puerto Rico. Prior to fight week, the former social media star-turned-professional boxer decided to get a haircut. His barber, JB Always Fresh, was unaware that the haircut would result in one of his greatest earnings to date.
Before inviting JB into the room, Paul spoke briefly to the camera to explain his motivations. "JB flew all the wat here from Canada and he’s such a genuine and nice kid, he's a young hustler, I love and respect young hustlers," he remarked.
‘You’re the best barber in the world’
After his haircut, Paul, talking about the payment, pretended to stutter as he said, "JB...I don't have cash." After a long dramatic pause meant for the camera, he continued, "But I got you something else." As JB hesitantly said, "Okay," Paul went on to say, "All jokes aside, JB, I think you’re the best barber in the world, and so I got you this Rolex."
JB turned to face him and inquired, “Actually? Jokes aside?” In response, Paul states, “No, I'm being serious, I love you JB, keep doing amazing.” The young barber struggled to determine whether this was simply a performance for Paul's fans or if it was genuinely real and the conversation went back and forth a few more times as Paul tried to convince him.
‘I love your hustle bro, keep hustling’
Paul started a little pep talk to make his point. “JB, you're a young entrepreneur. I love your hustle bro, keep hustling, JB, you’re the future, bro,” he said. JB acknowledges its reality at this point, saying, "I have no idea what to say man, thank you," further adding, "You have no idea how much this really means to me." “I’ve met over a thousand millionaires in my lifetime, I’ve met a bunch of influencers, creators, and this is some real genuine stuff, this is not something I see every day,” he said.
JB may not have left with the $100 or so in cash that he typically earns, but he did leave with an Oyster Perpetual Rolex watch on his wrist that is valued at anywhere from $4,900 to $60,000 depending on the specific model. Paul's video has also received 250,000 views since he posted it less than a day ago.
