In a revolutionary endorsement deal Don Imus has signed on to be the spokesperson for *several* black hair care products and has even proposed his own line of urban hair care products.
We all saw Brandi's hair weave campaign plastered on the back of busses across the nation and as you may or may not know Jay Z has bought alot of stock in Carol's Daughter as well as his own clothing and luxury beverage which sets his empire apart from the average mogul. But the man at the center of controversy Don 'THO SOME E ON DAT HO!' Imus has done the unprecendented, actually *made* a black hair care product in addition to being the spokesperson for Lustrasilk, Just for Me, S Curl, Black N Lovely, etc.
We all saw the camera's rolling during the heated debate between Imus and Sharpton, but what we didnt see was when the camera's stopped rolling how Imus incessantly commented about how beautiful Sharpton's mane was. One direct quote from the cutting room floor was 'you should recommend your stylist to the entire team Al, show em how to do this son!' Al accepted the compliment then suggested that Imus align with the black hair care companies as a form of apology, a show of solidarity and an example of Imus' understanding of black plight.
Sharpton was quoted as saying "Imus is a good dude man, he just kinda been playin too much Willie D over at the cancer ranch, we gonna link him up with our companies and let him show the country he means well" Imus took sharpton to task by diligently pursuing the deals with the companies.
The ink has yet to dry on the contracts but Imus is in motion already patenting his own line of wave caps and hot combs. In a near faux paux Imus released to the press "man nig.. uh.. black people are fuckin up yo! they keep makin expensive clothes and shit that will get bootlegged and sold on the black market when they could just make a comb or hair grease and get that guap!"
Congrats Don!
