Tonight will be one of the biggest nights of former North Carolina forward Brice Johnson's life – he's projected to be taken in the mid-to-late first round of the NBA Draft. While he is probably enjoying this glorious evening, however, the internet is roasting him for getting his hair cut today at Supercuts.
Huge thanks to @bjohnson_23 for making us part of your day—and good luck tonight! #NBADraft #Supercuts pic.twitter.com/Utsy7HK5op
Sponsorship tweets happen all the time. It's natural. This, however, is an odd pairing.
Shoutout to Alyssa and @Supercuts for getting me ready to go on draft day! #Supercuts #NBADraft #ad pic.twitter.com/iBLlUsrVoP
It seems Johnson was quickly aware he was about to spend the night getting roasted.
😂💀
His tweet blew up when ESPN's Bomani Jones saw it.
couple days away from brice brushing backward.
@bomani_jones if that doesn't ruin draft stock i don't know what will
@bomani_jones when you already know the cut is trash, but you want that endorsement money pic.twitter.com/CLSsM5eDF6
@bomani_jones I love how #ad is in the tweet, just to make sure ppl know he DOESN'T actually get his haircut at Supercuts
@bomani_jones He got paid. You know he went to the barbershop right after.

Johnson, a unanimous All-American this year, is a springy athlete with a soft touch around the basket, and he runs the floor well. He should be an impact player in the league. Keep your head up, Brice—and maybe, if you keep getting cut at Supercuts, just don't tweet about it anymore.
