Well, damn. This is quite embarrassing. While at a video shoot for Lil’ Chuckee last night, the repo man came looking for Crime Mobb’s former member Diamond. Actually, they came after her 2010 Yellow Camaro. Of course, this came as a surprise to Diamond who took to Twitter speak about the action.

With all the stories and rumors floating around, Being Terry Kennedy (which airs Tuesdays at 10) allows him to do just that – showcase the “real” him.
