Hip-Hop Rumors: Which ‘Blood Sweat and Heels’ Cast Member Pretended to Have a Job For Cameras?
Bravo’s Blood Sweat and Heels premiered on Sunday and for the most part, it seems like the show’s reception has been warm. However, like with any reality TV show, behind-the-scenes gossip about who did what and who’s fake and who’s real, etc, has been running rampant.
Let’s backtrack.
Blood Sweat and Heel’s is Bravo’s latest docuseries following former video vixen Melyssa Ford and a group of other female professionals in New York City, who work in various fields, as they pretend to be friends.
Apparently, someone in the cast was basically unemployed at the time producers came a’knocking. They loved her personality but having a career was a vital part of the show so they almost had to pass. So, guess what she did, because she didn’t want to lose out on those Bravo checks? She began pitching herself to various companies. The deal was, they pretend that she actually works for them and she gets to shine on TV. That way, both parties could gain some exposure. Word on the street is, the company that actually agreed to doing it is in financial straits and the owners are desperate for any exposure they can get. So, there you have it.
My source won’t allow me to reveal who the woman in the cast is but I will say, don’t be fooled by people’s glam appearances. Then again, the show is doing well, so it’s safe to say she’s working now.
BREAKING NEWS: Young Jeezy Arrested For Imprisoning And Assaulting Son
(AllHipHop News) The list of allegations thrown at Young Jeezy today (January 7th) sound like he was fighting a war, not his own son. However, Young Jeezy was in fact arrested over charges of battery, false imprisonment, and making terrorist threats towards his son in Atlanta.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, Jeezy allegedly slammed his son into a glass shower door during a fight in the bathroom in September of 2012. The documents claim that Jeezy also told his son during the fight he “will put a bullet in your head right now” and “if I could get away with it, I would kill you.”
After a grand jury warrant for each charge was sent, Jeezy turned himself in to authorities last Friday (January 3rd) and was released after posting the $45,000 bail.
Jeezy’s attorneys briefly spoke on the incident:
We have no doubt this matter will resolve itself appropriately. At this moment, Mr. Jenkins is thankful for the support of his fans and the respect for his family’s privacy.

DC Rappers Explain and Preview Music Video Shot In North Korea (VIDEO)
(AllHipHop News) To say the United States and North Korea’s relationship is rocky would be an early candidate for understatement of the year. In spite of that, two rappers from DC recorded a music video in North Korea and returned to America to speak on the generosity of the North Korean people, concerns about their safety and a great night of lobster and Sprite.
A month prior to DC rappers Pacman and Peso’s Kickstarter-funded trip to North Korea, the The State Department of America issued a blanket warning to all Americans traveling to North Korea. Speaking exclusively to The Guardian, the two MC’s say to avoid detection, they planned to shoot the video under the guise of a sightseeing tour, however became concerned about their safety before even arriving in North Korea due to the media coverage about their impending trip.
All the buzz we were getting, I thought we were gonna get hemmed up, captured. I was like: uh-oh. Are we gonna make it?-Pacman
The group were dangerously close to becoming prisoners of Beijing when Peso ran away after being struck by a car near Tiananmen Square, which resulted in Pacman being detained by the angered crowd. However, the duo was released and
The duo shot their scenes at government-approved locations in the company of their tour guides and filmed intermittently throughout the tour. Due to the fact the shoot had to be secretive, the duo were unable to use microphones, headphones or any music and “were just spitting to the voice that was in our head” according to Peso.
Despite the United States State Department’s warning of “the risk of arbitrary arrest and detention of U.S. citizens in North Korea”, Peso and Pacman maintain that the native North Koreans were magnanimous:
The old ladies looked like they were carrying the heaviest things. The army people walking down the street had guns. You see a whole bunch of rice fields. People was riding bikes. The little kids was walking down the street by themselves, they must have been in first grade. But everybody waved.-Pacman
