Here is another link with a Big Black interview expressing his side of the story. Sounds from his view Rob and his people were trying to strong arm him over air time money etc.

Damn. That one was a lot more personal at Rob than the other one. This is disappointing. I don't see how they'll ever have the magic again with all this baggage between them.

Yeah kind of interesting that Big was never really his body guard and met through the owner of DC (of whom Big was a guard).

I do agree with him though that I watched Rob and Big mainly because Big Black was funny.

I dunno. I think Big got a bit of an overinflated ego. He was the funniest part of the show, but nobody would have any clue who the hell he was or what his clothing line is were it not for Rob.

Hell I didn't know who Rob was until the show.

True, but they would not have got the show (Rob was turned down when he pitched a show to MTV with just himself) or stayed on the air as long as they did without big Black. I can see why he wanted a bigger piece of the pie.

Seems if they really would have been “boys” going into something like this Rob and Big could have worked something out in terms of cash considerations.

Glad they stopped when they did because that scripted crap on MTV sucks.

Edit: and IMO fantasy factory sucks

But that goes both ways. It was them both playing off each other that made the show awesome. It was the unlikely pairing of a 5 foot nothing white dude and a ginormous black dude as best friends (even though they were never really best friends, just friends on a TV show). And as scripted as R&B was at times, it was still awesome and hilarious to watch. My favorite MTV show by far.

I always figured, with what I had heard and read, that both of their egos got a little out of hand, and that ultimately led to the split. And to be honest, it was Rob who was the main money-maker on the show, and the one who always paid for shite anyway. So while I may not agree with him/his people wanting the lion's share of the money, I can understand their side I guess.

And jsut for good measure, Bam Bam sucked monkey arse. Big time.

Eh. I think it's pretty funny. I don't love it like I did Rob and Big--it's not even in the same ballpark--but I'll stop on it if I'm flipping channels.

Meh. Dudes have that type of beef all the time and get over it. Chicks let it linger.

If they're not already, i think theyll be fine

Fantasy Factory is a pretty good show imo, not as good as R&B but I still watch it and have most of the episodes on my DVR. It's funny and entertaining but nothing like R&B.

I never mis an episode of FF, but R&B is far better.

Chantel is hot, but in a "relatively hot" kinda way.

And FYI, last night when he gave Beiber that T-Rex, I decided to check them out online to see how much they are...I was (foolishly) thinking they'd be between 5 and 10 grand. Nah. Average price of a T-Rex is just under $54,000.

all season. it started out he was using one of the offices temporarily until he found his own. but rob wanted him to stay at the FF so they decorated his office up (he got a bad arse bear chair) and they asked him to stay.

What scares me is that seemed very scripted. The whole episode did.

Not to take away from the price of the Trex, but I think that was Robs repainted. I didn't see his anywhere in the FF. Either way, that's still a big gift.


How about the $15k box he shattered on the forklift? I also wonder how much it cost to make Bog Cats car a .. Big cat last season.
