SAGINAW TWP, MI - Protesters briefly gathered in front of Good Time’s Pizza, 4582 State St in Saginaw Township on Thursday, March 4 in response to a local music producer’s claims of racist abuse by a now-former restaurant manager.
RushDee Williams, a producer and business owner who was involved with projects like rap star Lil Wayne’s album Tha Carter V, said a manager hurled abuse at him after he tried to get his order corrected Saturday, Feb. 27. Their disagreement escalated into the man calling Williams an expletive and later the N-word, he claims.
