Amber Rose paid a visit to Big Boy on Hot 92.3 to promote her upcoming s### walk, an effort to bring awareness to sex cries against women, and new book, How to Be a Bad B####.

During their chat, the Philly beauty confirmed that she and MGK are dating and said that they are having fun while still getting to know each other.

Pusha T Blasts Virginia Bar For Being Racist

By: Tanay Hudson (@NYStateOfMind2)Category: News

Pusha T recently took to Twitter to vent about being discriminated against by a bar in native of Virginia. The G.O.O.D Music rep claims that when he visited Venue 112 Rock N’ Sports Lounge in Virginia Beach, VA he was forced to stand outside and wait while other white bar goers were let in willingly. Push said that he was told they were on a guest list, which he refers to in his tweets as “imaginary.”

He also blasted a Venue 112 employee after he claimed that he heard him tell the doormen that entry was only based on the guest list for the night, a gesture that Push believes was an attempt to keep him and his friends, who had already received wristbands, from getting in. The “Sweet Serenade” rapper went in some more after he saw that the lounge made their Instagram page private.

Pusha isn’t alone though. He said that he received many calls from other people who claim they were also treated in a discriminatory manner.

“By far the most racist club I ever encountered.. I got numerous stories bout them,” commented one IG user @vasfynst.

Peep his posts below.

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.

You whispered a little too loud last night @jlinds112 @venue112 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. Doormen, we aren't angry with u. You were only doing your job and as doormen u are to do what you are told, i understand. You will correct this wrong with me, I eat breakfast in the area most mornings as well as workout extremely close by. Ask around abt me. @wtkr3 @wavy_news @103jamzradio @z104fans @hot91online

BET Freelancer Dies After Getting Butt Injections In Queens Basement (VIDEO)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Kelly Mayhew traveled from Maryland to New York in order to get black market body enhancements. The 34-year-old BET Network freelancer ended up losing her life after receiving butt injections in a “makeshift medical clinic” located in a Queens basement apartment.

The New York Daily News reports Mayhew and her mother visited the location where the unlicensed medical procedure was performed. The mother told police Mayhew started struggling to breathe after the silicone was injected into her buttocks. She later died at St. John’s Episcopal Hospital.

Mayhew reportedly received five previous injections, and she was referred to the Queens illegal practitioner by a friend. Sources claim the dubious surgeon did not live at the residence where the injections were taking place, but a nurse’s aide had resided at the apartment at one time.

“Some of [the women] had weird butts. I knew something was going on but I couldn’t put my finger on it,” said Joan Doyle, the owner of the house.

A spokesperson for New York City’s medical examiner’s office has stated Mayhew’s initial autopsy was inconclusive, but the ME is conducting further studies. Police are investigating Mayhew’s death.

The suspect that performed the injections fled the scene. The person that supposedly connected Mayhew to the “doctor” has since erased her social media accounts, according to Daily News sources.

“Our heart goes out to her family and we extend our deepest sympathies for their loss,” said BET spokesman Jamie Owens in a statement.

Mayhew is not the first woman to die after getting butt injections. Tamara Blaine died in NYC in 2013, and Wykesha Reid died in Dallas earlier this year.

Butt augmentation has become a very popular procedure in recent years. Several female celebrities have been suspected of having the surgery done.

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) This week both social media and traditional media have been full of stories about Bruce Jenner’s transition to becoming Caitlyn Jenner. After the Olympic gold medalist and reality TV star’s Vanity Fair cover story was released, Jenner was congratulated by fans, his Keeping Up With the Kardashians family members, and even President Barack Obama.

Snoop Dogg Explains Why A Song Featuring The Late Nate Dogg Didn’t Make The “Bush” Album

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Snoop Dogg dropped his 13th studio album Bush earlier this month. The 10-track project included features by Stevie Wonder, T.I., Kendrick Lamar, and Rick Ross, but there was at least one more guest vocalist the Long Beach representative wanted to add to the tracklist.

[ALSO READ: Snoop Dogg Talks This Generation’s Rappers Biting Styles Versus Paying Tribute]

The Doggfather spoke with Vibe about Bush. During the interview, Snoop revealed he had a song with his late 213 collaborator Nate Dogg that did not make the album. While Pharrell Williams handled most of the production on Bush, the Nate Dogg track was produced by Fredwreck.

Snoop explained why the song did not make the album:

It was called “Wintertime in June.” It was a song with Nate Dogg on the hook and the bridge. I could never write to it. I had it for about a year before I tried to do something to it because every time I would try to write, I would get emotional and cry, and couldn’t finish it ‘cause the way he was singing on it, the sh*t he was saying. So I ended up giving it to a writer to write it for me and he wrote the sh*t out of it and he sounded good. It felt good and Pharrell loved it. It’s just the producer didn’t like the way the mix sounded because when I had did it, I did it on a two-track and then he ended up separating it. And when he separated it, it didn’t feel like it felt on the two-track.
