ACCUSES CLUB OF RACISM NORFOLK, Va. (AP) Pusha T says he was denied
entry into a Virginia Beach nightclub because he's black. The club says
they denied him entry because he's not on the guest list. Pusha T
writes on social media white people were allowed into Venue 112 early
Tuesday while he was not. He says he was never asked his name to see if
he was on the list. Venue 112 attorney Kevin Martingayle says he has a
laminated copy of the club's guest list and it's for regulars, with
race not a factor. He also sent The Associated Press photos of the
crowd that night that include black people. Pusha T tells WAVY-TV he
doesn't want anything from the club, just the truth to get out.
Martingayle says he's sent messages to Pusha T to discuss the issue but
has not gotten an answer. POST OFFICE WILL ISSUE ANOTHER ELVIS STAMP
