Bobby V claims that he was the victim of extortion in a video that has been making the rounds of the internet.
Over the weekend, he was accused of soliciting a transgender prostitute from the website Backpage. In the now-viral video obtained by Baller Alert, the escort can be seen to call Bobby V out for not paying her as he runs out of the room half-naked.
However, Bobby V has said that he never hired a hooker and that he was the one taken advantage of. While he didn’t say how he knew the woman, identified as Reima Houston on Facebook, he did say that it wasn’t until after she learned who he was that she started to extort him.
Bobby’s rep told TMZ, “Misrepresentation and deception were maliciously used to target Valentino; during the encounter, Valentino was victimized and threatened by acts of extortion which continued after his departure was captured on video.”
He also stated that he had no idea that the woman on the video was transgender.
This is the first time Bobby has spoken out on the situation, though he did turn his comments off on Instagram and posted a caption saying that he was happy without responding directly to the video until now.
