About 2 weeks ago I was contacted by Primetimes producer. They're doing a piece about pimping and the culture/history of it.
I explained right away, I'm not a pimp who prostitutes women. I'm an Professional Internet Marketing Person. They still wanted to do something with me, showing how parties across the country have pimp and ho themes and how rappers and comedians along with today's younger crowd consider "pimp" to be a cool thing, but not in the old school tradional meaning of that word.
I still said no thanks. I'd prefer they leave the name Players Ball out completely, but if they have to show other Players Ball's that have real pimps, only then should they go out of their way to explain that my Players Ball is not for real pimps.
So I refered them to my friend Maroy from
http://www.toorealfortv.com, he does documentary style films about real pimps, even featured D$ and the Players Ball in his last movie. They flew him out to NY, licensed his footage and did interviews with him. I warned him that all of their pieces regarding sex take a real nasty turn. The producer was cool with me and leveled with me, said they are twisting this piece to talk about underage women being brought into prostitution and exploited by pimps.
Nothing good comes from a piece like that. No one will remember the "fun part" of that piece, only that those people in it are linked to something very bad.
No thanks...
I think that airs on March 20th and it's a 2 part special.
