Mavado Claims He Was Treated Like a Bum at New York Restaurant Because He is Black

Mavado had a rather unpleasant experience recently at a fancy Asian restaurant and the popular artiste claims it’s simply because he’s black.

Popular celebrity news website TMZ reported that the entertainer visited Phillippe Chow in New York City to have lunch with his family when he was curiously placed in the back of the restaurant, despite the establishment being almost empty.

According to TMZ, Mavado didn’t complain and the family began eating, when he walked over to another empty table and had a family member take his picture.  He says that’s when a manager told him he couldn’t sit at that table because they were expecting guests.

Mavado claims the manager added he was prohibited from using his phone in ANY manner.

He then claims he got the bum’s rush … all of the food came out at once.  We gotta say, that’s what Asian restaurants typically do, but that’s his story.  He says he felt like they wanted to get him out.

Things got hot as fish grease when Mavado’s wife tried sending the rice back.  He says the manager came over and pitched a fit.  He says the rice stayed put, yet it was included in the bill.

Mavado then accused the restaurant of treating him shabbily because he’s black, and the manager allegedly slammed the bill on the table and told him never to come back.

Mavado claims his manager was later contacted by the restaurant and they profusely apologized, saying they didn’t know he was a famous person.  Mavado says he’ll never go back.

As for the restaurant, we called and a manager said, “We are talking to Mavado’s people and we have no comment.”
