Quick Summary

NOAHH, an event promoter, claimed that the Market Hotel in Bushwick canceled his New York Fashion Week party because it didn’t want “ignorant black people.” However, the venue denied racism, stating they canceled due to poor ticket sales of only 40 tickets sold for a capacity of 500. The dispute led to the hotel being vandalized with graffiti reading "racist" and "f–k you." Both parties have since traded accusations on social media without providing further evidence or retracting their claims.

Story summary

NOAHH, a promoter, alleged that the Market Hotel in Bushwick canceled his New York Fashion Week event "In Tha Fest" due to racist reasons, hours before it was set to occur. The event was supposed to feature black rappers Percaso and EA TJ. In response, the venue claimed the cancellation was due to slow ticket sales rather than racism. Following the alleged cancelation, the Market Hotel received threatening messages on social media, leading to vandalism where three individuals spray-painted graffiti outside the venue. The incident has sparked discussions about racial discrimination in Brooklyn's event spaces and underground music scene.
