Rapper B.O.B. and his entourage pulled a fast one at a bar in Ithaca, NY. The peeps at Level B said they felt played by B.o.B. on Saturday when, according to the bar’s management, the famed hip-hop artist refused to pay his $1,060 bill.
Level B owner Brad Weiss said that B.O.B. and his crew of 12 people ordered three bottles of $300 Grey Goose Vodka, received a complimentary bottle of champagne and were given priority service at their reserved bar space. But later in the night, the group left without paying its bill, which would have included $160 in gratuity, according to Anthony Vipond, B.o.B.’s waiter.
When he confronted them they told him they thought it was FREE! “[B.o.B.’s manager] said, ‘We’re doing you a favor for not charging you … When we go to clubs, we get paid to come,’” Vipond said. “I said, ‘This is Ithaca, this is a different town. Things get handled a little differently here.’”
The Level B employees said they have had better experience with other celebrities who have visited the bar. “Celebrities that have visited the bar previously like Drake and members of the Gym Class Heroes, for example, have always paid,” Weiss said. “None of us had any idea at the time that [B.o.B. and his group] did not expect to pay for anything.”
Weiss said the bar would not pursue legal action.
Do you think B.O.B should’ve paid up?
