BET announced today plans to premiere a new series that finds celebrities playing tricks on their biggest supporters.
Titled “Played By Fame,” the show follows fans as they think they are getting invited to spend a day with their favorite artists, only to hit by a series of pranks.
The program will feature a slew of rappers including Ludacris, Young Buck, E-40 and Fonzworth Bentley. Other artists slated to join in on the fun is producer Jazze Pha, comedian Charlie Murphy, actor Kevin Hart, video vixen Mellyssa Ford, singer Bobby Brown and R&B crooner Mario, among others.
“Played By Fire” is slated to debut on January 30 at 10 p.m. EST on BET. – Elan Mancini

Fonzworth Bentley has fans? who knew . . .
I don’t see what the big deal about this show is. These wack ass rappers have been pranking niggas into buying their corny albums for years now, so I doubt this show will be any different.
What the fuck is Young Buck going to do? Starting crying like little bitch and have a nervious break down in fron of his one fan?
Is Mellyssa Ford going to pull her dick out?
Is E-40 going to prank niggas by spiiting something legible?
It really doesn’t matter, nobody watches the nigga network anyway.

Is it “played by fame” or “played by fire”? I’m confused….
