Virginia Beach lyricist Pusha T used both his Instagram and Twitter accounts to call out the “most racist establishment” in his hometown, earlier this week.
In a handful of tweets, Pusha blasted Venue 112 sports lounge for their treatment of black customers.
“Venue sports lounge on Great Neck Rd in Virginia Beach definitely wins award for most racist establishment in the 757. Venue sports lounge on Great Neck rd. doesn’t respect black business and makes black patrons stand outside while letting whites in. In 2015. No one in the 757should support or patronize Venue sports lounge in VA Beach or any other racist establishments in the area,” Pusha T wrote in a series of tweets sent earlier today (June 2).
In an Instagram upload, which featured a screen capture of his tweets, Pusha detailed the practices those at Venue 112 employed to keep black customers out of the sports lounge.

He spoke on those at the restaurant creating an “imaginary guest list” and revealed that his experience at Venue 112 has been echoed in online reviews and on social media.
“Last night should’ve never happened @venue112 . These ‘imaginary guest list’ u impose on potential black patrons is a slap in the face to the Great Neck community, Virginia Beach, and the 757 as a whole. My phone has been ringing since 6am with stories abt your racist ways. A history of reviews online and on social media share in a seamless thread of bigotry involving your establishment. I will never come there again. You didn’t know me last night but u will learn everything abt me. And u will correct this wrong,” Pusha wrote in his Instagram caption.
On Instagram, Pusha also posted a picture of the Venue 112 employee responsible for the “imaginary guest list.”
“We heard u tell your doorman, ‘tell them we are on guest list only tonight.’ Unfortunately your other worker had already put the band on my friends wrist and wasn’t hip to your racially motivated instructions,” the rapper wrote in his caption.
