DETROIT (AP) — Students at a Detroit elementary school have been treated to free Christmas haircuts courtesy of R&B vocalist KEM.
The Detroit native arranged for a barber to visit Golightly Education Center on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Principal Sherrell Hobbs says 19 boys in grades kindergarten through fifth grade received haircuts. She says the gesture is another example of how KEM gives back to the community.
Last year, he hosted a free concert and food drive to benefit Detroit’s homeless. The Grammy nominee has said his past included drug addiction and being homeless.
