Peter Gunz became a villain in the eyes of many female viewers watching the latest season of Love and Hip-Hop New York, due to him going back and forth between two women. However, he has been very vocal about regretting his bad choices.

He also did an interview where he mentioned that his apology tour is over.

But I stumbled across a tweet that made me wonder about potential motivation behind his behavior. Check it:

He’s transparent about his life and he could have been joking but is he going through a small break down? He seems pretty stressed in interviews.

Dame Dash Talks Jay Z Split, Says Record Label Employees Are “Slaves” + More

(AllHipHop News) Dame Dash may have lost Roc-a-Fella Records but the same domineering personality remains.

In a recent interview with Details Magazine, the boisterous 42 year old entrepreneur talks in detail about the infamous Roc-A-Fella Records split, why record label employees are “slaves” and a lot more.

Apparently, Dash and Jay had dinner at the restaurant Da Silvano in New York City in December of 2004 where Jay announced he would be assuming presidency of Def Jam. Due to Dame’s much publicized temper, Jay felt the best business decision was to distance himself from Dash, however offered to give Dash the Roc-A-Fella name if Dash turned over the rights to Reasonable Doubt. Dash refused because Jay Z’s “just business” approach went against the original plan for Roc-A-Fella:

Honestly, I didn’t give a f*ck. The whole thing was based on our friendship. He made it clear he didn’t want me to be a part of Roc-A-Fella. I was like, ‘A’ight.’ Everything else was like, ‘Go be you. You want to do this, do it.’ He told me it was just business. He said that it was business. ‘I want to look like a businessman, and I can’t be a businessman around you.

In the article, Dash is quoted to have said that record label employees, specifying Def Jam are “slaves” whom “put their balls on a silver platter” in exchange for a proverbial  “three meals a day, a warm bed.”

Ironically, Def Jam co-founder  Simmons describes Dash as a “visionary” in the article and attributes the careers of three of the most popular rappers of the last 15 years to Dash’s magnanimous work ethic:

Without Damon, there would have been no Jay-Z or Kanye or Cam’ron and no Roc-A-Fella. What he did for Jay and everyone, he was selfless. He took the bullets.

The question is, who doesn’t have a reality show these days? And if there is still a facet of society that hasn’t been exploited via reality TV, just hold on because it’s coming soon…allegedly.

Word around the business is that there are a few gay male media personalities in New York City who are being considered for a potential show. Some work within the urban realm and others mainstream. Part of the scandal is that some of the men being considered are out, while others…not so much.

Internet personality Kid Fury is said to be one of the personalities producers are considering but my little birdy wouldn’t give me anymore names for the potential look. This isn’t a concrete plan just yet because things are still being worked out.
