HHWired Exclusive: DJ Green Lantern Defends Mixtape Pushbacks
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Many fans have been in an uproar while waiting for the mixtapes to drop from Jay Electronica and Fabolous as their projects have faced pushbacks like they were studio albums.

Man Sues For Racist Pizza Hut Receipt
Thursday, February 18th, 2010A St. Louis man is filing a lawsuit against Pizza Hut after he says he received a receipt for his order that referred to him as “Big Black.”
Karly Mayberry says after receiving his food he took a look at the space where his name should be and found the racist remarks.
To be sure he wasn't crazy and that the terminology wasn't a name for a new pizza, he says he checked at another Pizza Hut restaurant.
Mayberry was especially upset about the situation because it took place on Martin Luther King day and tells NBC,
"To be an African-American male and have that type of injustice done to you, especially by a Caucasian, on Martin Luther King holiday, it just threw me so hard.”
Pizza Hut has since issued him a letter of apology and two $50 gift cards.
Take em to court for all they're worth!
How stupid can you be.....
