Barbershop Argument Over Aretha Franklin Ends Up in Shooting

[keemz]

Two men reportedly got into an argument at a barbershop about whether Halle Berry should play Aretha Franklin in her upcoming biopic. The conversation took a sour turn though when one man decided to pull out his gun and shoot the other man.


At 10:45 a.m this past Thursday (August 16), 44-year-old Suffolk, Virginia resident Michael Hatton shot 47-year-old Tony Lundy once outside of the barbershop, which put Lundy in critical condition. As a result, Hatton was arrested and held without bail after being treated for injuries. The two men were reportedly discussing who should be cast in the movie Aretha: From These Roots.

Why is this funny to me?

Halle shouldn't play Aretha tho. J Hud seems more fitting.

I wonder. How much pride could a nigga have to fight over a movie at 44. I can see some young niggas arguing about basketball on the court. But old niggas at the barber shop

More like shit took a real disrespectful turn somewhere I bet. When egos get the better of a person.

Hopefully the guy who suggested Halle Berry should play Aretha Franklin was the one that got shot.
