BBE Magazine was founded by Antwan (ANT) Bank$.. Ant owned a model agency in
Charlotte N.C back in 2006 and was working as the Charlotte rep for several mens
magazines. During that time he was responsible for discovering a lot of talent in the
Carolina region. Because of his success and drive to succeed he decided he no
longer wanted to work for Magazine companies that was really all based in NYC at
the time. He wanted a forum that would promote the models of his region, just as well
as they did NYC and Cali. There wasn't one at the time; so that's when he parlayed
his model agency in to BBE which stands for the Bad, Beautiful and Elite.

BBE would feature models of all nationalities as well as editorial on todays hot topics
such as Hip Hop, R&B, Sports, Romance and Celebrity news. During it's short tenure
BBE has featured known Video Vixens and Reality TV Models such as Serious from
Vh1's Flavor of Love, Stiltz and Caviar from For The love of Ray J and has also
featured R&B Diva Mya Harrison as a Cover Girl and feature. On the music side of
things BBE features hot new tracks every month from artist such as Young Jeezy,
