Congratulations: Jeezy Puts A Ring On His Baby Mama, Mahi!

Jeezy Engaged To Longtime Girlfriend Mahi When your album goes number one and life is good, what better time to show love? Jeezy was definitely feeling generous this holiday season… Sources close to the Atlanta rapper tell BOSSIP exclusively that he gifted his babymama Mahi with a brand new white Range Rover at a private dinner last week. We hear she also received a diamond engagement ring! Their daughter Amra Nor should be about two-years-old. From what we hear Jeezy, born Jay Jenkins, and Mahi, who is African, are said to have been engaged for the last year, but it was only recently that he handed her the keys to the new truck along with an engagement ring!

Versace, Versace: Bougie Retails Accused Of Using Code To Announce Black Shoppers

Ex-Versace Employee Claims Stores Use Secret Code To Announce Black Customers If there was ever any evidence that respectability politics will not lead you to white heaven… Well-to-do black folks (and some of y’all who just spend money you ain’t got) have been lining Versace’s pockets with money for YEARS, but according to TMZ , the retail stores that peddle Gianni’s fine fabrics may not be so keen on us. A former employee reveals that when black customers walk into the store, the staff would use a secret code to announce his or her presence. The man worked in a Bay Area store, and in a lawsuit says a manager told him about a store code called “D410,” which was used to casually let co-workers know a black person was present — as in, we got a D410 in menswear. BTW … that’s the code for all black shirts in Versace stores … according to the suit. The employee says he shocked the manager by responding, “You know that I’m African-American?” After cracking the code, the employee says he was no longer given required breaks and was fired 2 weeks later. The reason for firing? He hadn’t “lived the luxury life”. Right. It comes as no surprise that Versace denies being bigots. Image via YouTube
