Bobby V was filmed with his pants down by transgender pros- titute, Reima Houston.
Bobby V claims that he was the victim of extortion in a video that has been making the rounds of the internet.
Over the weekend, he was ac- cused of soliciting a transgender prostitute from the website Backpage. In the now-viral video obtained by Baller Alert, the escort can be seen calling Bobby V out for not paying her as he runs out of the room half- naked.
However, Bobby V has said that he never hired a hooker and that he was the one taken ad- vantage of.
