TMZ reports that since that time, the popular rapper/actor/entrepreneur has reportedly held several meetings with executives of the restaurant and he was assured that there will no longer be any issues with the dress code.
As previously reported, the popular restaurant chain was also accused of discriminating against large parties of black people.
No word yet on if Tip’s meetings had any effect on those claims, however the rapper revealed that the restaurant has also vowed to hire more minorities.
