La Nightlife Snubs: Paul Mccartney And More Stars Denied Entry At Hot Spots

Hollywood’s VIP Rejections: When Stars Can’t Get In

Yo, even the biggest names in the game can get the cold shoulder on the Hollywood red carpet - or at least at the club door. We’re talking about legit icons who’ve been told ‘nah’ when trying to roll into LA’s most exclusive spots. It’s a humbling reminder that in this city, sometimes even fame ain’t enough to get past the velvet rope.

From Grammy afterparties to late-night hangs, these celebs found out the hard way that not every bouncer in Tinseltown is starstruck. Let’s dive into one of the most jaw-dropping snubs that had everyone buzzing down on Sunset Strip.

Paul McCartney’s Grammy Afterparty Drama

Back in February 2016, Sir Paul McCartney - yeah, the Beatles legend himself - got straight-up denied entry to Tyga’s Grammy afterparty at The Argyle in Los Angeles. And he wasn’t rolling solo; he had heavy hitters like Beck and Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins by his side. But even that star power couldn’t sway the bouncers, who turned them away not once, but twice.

In a clip that hit the web via TMZ, McCartney took it in stride with some classic British humor, cracking, “How VIP do we gotta get? We need another hit, guys. Work on it!” Beck tried to keep the vibes chill, promising they’d get in “next year.” Eventually, the trio ditched the scene and slid over to the Republic Records Grammy afterparty instead.

“Man, getting turned away in LA is the ultimate reality check - even for a legend like Paul. It just shows, in this town, the door game is real!” - Local club promoter on the incident.

Tyga Clears the Air on X

The very next day, Tyga hopped on X (back when it was still Twitter, ya know) to set the record straight. He wasn’t about to let people think he’d personally snubbed a living legend. The rapper made it clear he had no clue McCartney was even there, since he’d already performed and bounced before the drama unfolded.

“Why would I deny @PaulMcCartney stop it. He’s a legend,” Tyga posted. “I don’t control the door. I had no knowledge SIR PAUL was there. I just performed and left.” Gotta give props for the quick response - in a city like LA, where rumors spread faster than wildfire on the 405, clearing your name is key.

More Celeb Snubs on the Horizon?

McCartney’s story ain’t a one-off in this town. LA’s nightlife scene is notorious for being tougher than a Malibu winter swell, and plenty of stars have felt the sting of rejection at some point. Whether it’s a packed Grammy bash or a low-key WeHo lounge, getting past the door can be a whole mood killer - even for A-listers.

So, keep your eyes peeled for more tales of celebs getting the boot. In a city where image is everything, these stories remind us that even the biggest names can get humbled by a bouncer with a clipboard. Got thoughts on who else got denied?
