Love & Hip Hop Miami finally debuts Monday, Jan 1 @ 8/7C, and raptress, Trina, is clearly the matriarch of the cast.

While on a press run, the industry vet revealed she was in a relationship and also explained why she joined the franchise.

On love:

I am in love, and I’m very happy to be in love. I love love. I don’t like to play the games. Oh, we’re ‘dating’, oh we’re just ‘kicking it’

New music:

It’s coming out February 23rd. We had some issues from some clearances for the record. We put out two records already. The Tory Lanez record, the K. Michelle record. I got Dave East on the album, 2 Chainz, Kelly Price.

Coming into the industry in the late 90’s early 00’s:

I came into at a time, it was more women. Like Eve; I love Eve. We would hang out, we would party. We would link up and meet up. We had this connection which was unbreakable. It wasn’t just industry or when I see you on the red carpet. Everybody that I came into the game with, it was open arms. There was no jealousy. We had the real relationships.

Why she joined the franchise:

I just wanted to bring something extra to my brand and add volume to do that brand. I have a record label I have artists I’m trying to put on, I want to have an open window so I can expose them.

I’ve always liked Trina. She seems to just mind her business and stay looking fabulous. I can dig it.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — NEW YORK: The official trailer for CALL ME MICKY, a new documentary short Executive Produced by acclaimed POSE star Dominique Jackson and directed by Andrew Rasmussen, has been released on YouTube ahead of the film’s upcoming festival run.

The 22-minute documentary follows Micky Angelo Petrillo, a larger-than-life New Jersey native who transitioned at 59 and is now discovering what comes next.

Rather than presenting transition as the conclusion of Petrillo’s story, CALL ME MICKY focuses on the life unfolding afterward — through Pride celebrations, open mics, friendships, storytelling and Petrillo’s increasingly public embrace of the man he fought decades to become.

Jackson also appears in the film, joining Petrillo for an intimate on-camera conversation about identity, visibility and what it means to finally live openly as yourself.

Internationally recognized for her commanding portrayal of Elektra on FX’s groundbreaking series POSE, Jackson is an actress, model, activist and producer who also served as an Executive Producer of the acclaimed documentary I’M YOUR VENUS, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival.

Petrillo is the author of the memoir Walking the Earth: First as a Woman, Then a Man.

While CALL ME MICKY captures one chapter of Petrillo’s much larger story, the film offers an intimate portrait of a man discovering that becoming yourself is not the ending — it may only be the beginning.
