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.
The Instagram profiles for the employee Pusha T called out and Venue 112, have since been set to private. A Facebook page for the sports lounge is listed as being “unavailable.”

Yes! We need more black folks or anybody for that matter speaking up on these ills.
gotta be honest, since the black prez many establishments have been quietly ‘segregating”. usually what happens is whites don’t patronize as much as these places think and the establishments end up closing the doors. for instance, my homie had a place in the PNW that brothers use to fill up every single week but the white residents complained & complained, “they’re bringing down the neighborhood” ( I went to a town hall meeting with him). liquor license people & l.e. used to harass him, finally made him change the spot to a sandwich shop, what the white residents “wanted”. store closed last year after 6 years being open making money. wood on windows, garbage piling up around it from the residents. so who really brought down the neighborhood? yes the homie is white. and I could give you actually 16 other examples of this too.
Open up your own spot so you don’t have to deal with any backwood ass jokers, I am sure the people will support your bussiness once they know it’s yours. This is 2015 you don’t have to put up with that shit.
Make sure to hit up their Yelp page, my peoples. I just rated their establishment 1 star. Black Man takin no losses! We got you, Push.
Why don’t you support DJ Jack of Spades Spot in Va Beach. Probably got better food anyway.
He’s not lying. That’s why I don’t even fuck with the lounge. It’s wack as hell anyway. Clubs in 757 act like their more than they are. VA ain’t LA/NY but they try to charge 20 in these lame ass clubs.
Why would u let a bunch of black people who look like thugs into a sports lounge? The white customers will leave and won’t return, it’s a known fact when u have more than 3 black people they can’t behave and cause problems. Then the white, Asian, Indian patrons won’t return n the business will lose money. Businesses are not stupid, and it’s not about racism. Black people never take responsibility for their actions and the actions of their peers, they’re equally responsible for our prejudices against them. I don’t blane the sports lounge, if the young black community was a peaceful one and dressed like they had some sense and self respect, maybe the world could respect them. A business has the right to maintain its business, and young obnoxious black people are bad for business. Black people need to be mad at their obnoy peers who make it difficult for everyone else, not just call racism when things don’t go their way.
First of all, this is an ignorant statement. Not all black people are thugs looking to cause trouble. Many black people are normal tax paying/law biding citizens in this racist country who should not be lumped into the category of “black thugs” simply because of the color of skin. That’s like saying all white people are racist which is not necessarily true. Let’s see how they maintain their business now that the word is out that they have a racist establishment. Bet you a stack I know the race of the bouncer. Good enough to order around, not good enough to patron the establishment. Institutionalized racism still alive and well in the US.
Shut your racist ass mouth, Jon, you piece of human garbage.
bro thts spot on.. ive been to a shit ton of clubs in different cities.. i stay away from cities where theres more black ppl bc ive seen nothing but fights and 1 time a stabbing, one time i lieft 20 mins before a shooting..i go to cities more white ppl..most you see is fights and thats not even guarnteed.
Pay no attention to him. He hates to see the strong unity in our culture. My peoples, there’s a reason Jon is on a site that reports on Black culture..he loves our traditions and music to death! Black man is responsible for every form of popular music. I don’t see how anyone could be racist and like popular music..its contradictory. He is just trying to disrupt the harmony and love we are showing to another Black man (or Hebrew brotha) Pusha T. Crawl back to the Caucausus mountains. Jon.
@originalman- we hate unity? we can careless, what we hate is when you guys are in numbers at the club and all you do is grill people, cause issues and before long jumpings, shootings and stabbings.. you guys seem to be incapable of going out and having a good time only. you are incapable of going out and not grilling every guy that walks by you. you cant have good times with others. thats what we hate..until you show you can be civilized around other civilized people.. hope they ban all you guys
Jon, you and “your people” are the pot trying to call the kettle black. These practices have been in place long before you and I were ever born. Enough said.
lol prob bc anytime more than 10 black ppl go into a club theres always bottles and chairs being flown..i dont blame them plus us 50 with long ass spider braids. noone wants a shit ton of black ppl in the club..mor eworried about grillin men then getting bitches and having a good time.
And fuck you too, smh, you racist dickbag.
idc. ive had more than enough experiences.. its not racism its just facts.. for me.
The fact is your racist. Shut the fuck up.
maybe i am then..oh well. rather be racist then let my guard down and end up like the countless people i seen in fights, or stabbed at the hands of drunk black ppl in large numbers damn near every weekend.
You’re nothing but a racist white clown. You’re mad because your white women love us! You’d never say a single thing in any one of our faces because fear overwhelms you.
PNW is Pacific Northwest, where the cities are 90% white. a white dude who was down with the community was shut down by whites. they would rather have an abandoned storefront with litter than a place for blacks to hangout. but I left out that there’s a Black church 800ft away, and many of that bar’s patrons went to the church……this is how you destroy someone like “jon” and his idiotic theories
Lol y’all always saying we don’t fight fair and if it weren’t for that y’all would win the fight but then why is it that blacks dominate boxing??

The truly sad part about this is us as black people look at us. We are mad because they don’t like us and respect us. We’ll that’s nothing new. To all of us wake up don’t just not support this club but stop bending over backwards for these white people and there establishments. Stop shopping at there stores, sytp wearing there clothes, don’t dine at there restaurants don’t show up at there venues, stop celebrating there holidays, stop working for them, don’t support there wars in anyway and stop believing in there ways and there religions. We are upset about what we already know. Why? As a young black man I have quickly learned to understand and know that we are not wanted or excepted here. We need to stop trying to adapt as our ancestors did and pass generations have and have failed. We need to wake up and teach our children the truth and how to be warrior’s and soldiers and how to truly be prepared to give there life for freedom equility and true universal freedom for themselves for there families then for all people. Teach them that we are on stolen land that was acquired by thieves who they teach our children to celebrate as for fathers. Let them know in no way are they American or have any rights to this land America whether being born here or not. You ancestral bloodline we teach you that the majority our our ancestors where brought here unwilling in chains by the same people’s ancestors who won’t let you in this establishment. They give us nothing and then tell us not to complain. They exclude us and we fight to be around them they HATE US AND WANT US DEAD OR AS SLAVES and we ignore it and act as if we are a part of this country. We laugh with this people knowing that the joke is on us. Don’t blog about this fight about it burn the establishment down. Show them the true meaning of thugs and care less about there jails and prison because this land America is our big as cell for our people any way and fear not death because what you constitute as living is really a slow death.
^ This is why the cycle never ends. This is also why the “dead or in jail” expectancy within our culture exists. At what point do you acknowledge and understand the history, but understand it cannot be changed and move forward? What mentality do you breed when the theme of what you teach centers on you being the victim? It amounts to EXTREMISM. Sorry brotha, my kids know where they came from and they know how to earn their place in this world. And they’re doing it without excuses.
wtc you not teaching that brother anything but yet another passive theory on how to be quiet……lashawn you and the homies go hit the books and learn how to be financial advisers so we can be in the boardrooms instead of always on line as consumers, learn how to store resources to we can buy up abandoned warehouses and store, learn food distribution so we can distribute food to the hoods, learn finances so we can try at black banks again. learn clothing beyond printing tshirts so we can upgrade. see the difference in the plot wtc? you just submitting, not solving anything. 1
@Crook
All that preaching has led to you misinterpreting and forming your own opinion about what my message was. Submitting? To what exactly? All that preaching you just did about hitting the books and being this and that, “WE” HAVE PEOPLE IN THOSE POSITIONS BECAUSE THEY DID EXACTLY WHAT I STATED ALREADY. Do you see the plot? I’m not here to solve anybody’s problems because it’s not possible. I take INDIVIDUAL responsibility and pass it along to my family, because that’s what a MAN does. And in doing so, I break the cycle within my own sphere of influence.
This is why you don’t live in THE SOUTH. FUCK THE SOUTH
I don’t really consider VA south
Hey black people, get over it, its the establishments prerogative whether or not they let you in. Find somewhere else to go, boycott the place, tell all your black friends so they can avoid getting denied entry. I don’t ever here about white people bitching & moaning when they get denied entry into a predominantly black establishment, oh wait, that’s because it doesn’t happen! Face the facts whites & blacks are two totally different cultures, if you can’t see it your blind or stupid, maybe both. Last time I checked people still have the freedom to deny service to anyone. So stop whining & bitching on social media & get on with your lives.
Kill yourself
Me and my friends are black and been to this bar and it all nationalitys. This so called rapper sound like he angry because they didn’t show him favour; recognition. Now, he trying to destroy someone over that? Karma…it will hit you two tons and know that.
Yeah…nobody cares.Go eat at McDonalds.I promise you that you will be welcome there.
