It’s been rumored for quite some time, but VH1 has officially announced ‘Love and Hip Hop: Miami.’

The fourth installment of the L&HH franchise is set to premiere January 2018.

Thanks to Trina’s viral rant from a few weeks ago, we knew that she was confirmed to be on the Miami cast. Her longtime friend Trick Daddy is also a cast member.

Other cast members include the group Pretty Ricky, rapper Gunplay, Shay Johnson (of Flavor of Love) and more.

Take a look at the cast list via VH1 below.

Trina will join the docu-series as she preps her upcoming album The One while balancing home life with her unpredictable family. Will Trina be able to manage being one of the most celebrated femcees while having it all at home?

The self-proclaimed “Mayor of the 305” Trick Daddy is also working on his latest creative endeavors but will his divorce from his wife Joy derail his comeback?

Pretty Ricky is also back on the radar. Pleasure P is focusing on new music for their big reunion but will his relationship with girlfriend Shay Johnson (the former Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star!) threaten his relationship with the group?

Rapper Gunplay and his girl Keyara are starting over in Miami but will ex-girlfriend Miami Tip shake up their happy home? Can the couple outlast the drama from the past?

Multi-talented Amara La Negra is ready for that crossover to the American mainstream charts but is Miami too big for her? Will she be able to remain true to her voice, her image, and herself in the Miami scene?

Veronica Vega is a controversial and unapologetic figure trying to make an impression in the music industry. Will she be able to balance work and friendships before something falls?

Producer Young Hollywood also joins the Love & Hip Hop Miami cast as an early pioneer of the Latinx trap music movement. His work includes collabs with major artists like Migos and Pitbull. While his attitude may not be for everyone, his body of work speaks for itself.

Prince is a nightlife personality with a thing for beautiful women. The self-proclaimed “Prince of South Beach” and his longtime gf Liz Cifuentes will be at odds over his late nights and constant “party boy” lifestyle. Will Liz’s friendship with a rival promoter DJ Michelle Pooch be the nail in the coffin?

Steph Lecor, fresh off opening for acts such as Calvin Harris and Ariana Grande, has signed with Dj Khaled’s We The Best Music Group. Loyal through and through, Steph will always be vocal about where she stands when her loyalty is called into question.

Celebrity stylist Jojo Zarur is ready to expand her business including opening new stores but with her parents’ tenuous divorce in the way, she may find her plans take a different turn.

Finally, aspiring rapper Bobby Lytes has a very famous first cousin that he doesn’t feel supports his ambitions. Ahem, Trina! That, plus his relationship with his boyfriend Jeffrey White will be shook when a former flame Malik Williams returns for love. Can the couple find a way to have it all? Will Trina support her cousin? Will the past stop Bobby and Jeffrey in their tracks?

OFFICIAL TRAILER RELEASED FOR “CALL ME MICKY,” EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY DOMINIQUE JACKSON

Published

on

New 22-minute documentary short follows Micky Angelo Petrillo after transitioning at 59, with the acclaimed POSE star helping bring his story to the screen

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.

CALL ME MICKY is produced by CARDINAL, a New York City–based creative production company, and directed by CARDINAL co-founder Andrew Rasmussen.

The film begins its festival run this fall, with additional screenings and festival announcements forthcoming.
