I caught up with VH1 Black Ink Crew reality star, Puma for a brief chat at an industry event on Tuesday night. As we’ve seen on this season of black ink crew, the original clique was divided and Puma parted ways with his longtime friend Ceasar [owner of Black Ink tattoo shop] and opened up his own shop in the same Harlem neighborhood.
Puma blamed the estranged relationship on Ceasar’s girlfriend/co-star Dutchess and while he couldn’t give us the tea on the upcoming episodes [where allegedly Dutchess gets caught up in a lie of her own [love triangle between Ceasar and her ex-boyfriend who makes and appearance on the show], he did reveal to us that his initial opinion will prove true in the coming weeks.
On His New Shop Ink 124:
” Ink 124 right now is open for business. It on 158 east 124th street, Harlem NY. It’s a brand new business and its slows as a brand new business would be. I’ve had some cool ass people come through and show me love and support and I believe in what I’m doing right now.”
On His Friendship With Ceasar:
” Currently, me and Ceasar are pretty cool. And you’ll see that relationship rebuild as you continue to watch; everything is cool. And not for nothing I was kinds right.”
On The Friendship Between The Entire Cast:
“As for the cast, everyone is doing well. Oh Shit is not going to jail. My wonder twin Sassy is doing really well.”
