Wiz & Amber Rose Reportedly Experience Discrimination At Barney’s

According to reports, despite spending $16k on women’s shoes for his girlfriend and their families in the store, Khalifa was not welcomed by Barneys. After his spending spree on the shoes Wiz went up to the ultra expensive men’s department floor, but instead of rolling out the red carpet for him they refused to help the poor guy! Not only did they fail to recognize him they actually thought that that he was a thief and treated him like one! It was only when somebody pointed out to them who the guy actually was that they back-tracked somewhat. – @ItsTheKidFrench

Lupe Fiasco Defends Obama Comments

In an interview with Billboard, he refuses to retract his statement regarding President Barack Obama.

I’ve got nothing to clarify. It’s Obama and the U.S. government. [It’s] every president that came before him and every president that comes after him.
It’s funky because everybody’s pulling soundbites from this one interview that we did, but they don’t talk about anything else from the interview. So it’s really about, ‘What do people want to listen to?’ It’s not what I want to talk about, cause I want to talk about all types of shit… there wasn’t the same reaction about me having a book club… about me trying to promote literacy in a country with 50 million functioning illiterates walking around, because we have a failed and flawed education system.
