HIP-HOP MOGUL JERMAINE DUPRI CLOSES RESTAURANT AND LEFT EMPLOYEES WITH BOUNCED CHECKS?

Jermaine Dupri’s Buckhead restaurant, Cafe Dupri, closed its doors for good last week. According to WSB-TV Atlanta, the restaurant’s employees were left without paychecks or jobs. Workers had complained for weeks about bounced checks and bank notices of insufficient funds.

Some employees came to work even after utilities were shut off recently. Jermaine Dupri’s mother, Tina Mauldin, told Channel 2 Actions News Atlanta the restaurant closing was a “business decision”. She also took a swipe at her former employees, saying maybe if the employees had worked harder, Cafe Dupri would still be open. Above is JD and his daughter Shaniah.

Listen to some employees tell their side of the story here.

Why is a business owner blaming the employees for the closing. I would have fired them and hired new ones and not close my eatery?
