Videos by According2HipHop

Former Pump It Up! host Dee Barnes sat down with Wendy Williams for an episode of The Wendy Williams Show to discuss her homeless GoFundMe situation, the derailing of her Hip Hop journalism career and what exactly happened the night Dr. Dre viciously attacked her at a Hollywood industry party in 1991.

Barnes has been working on a book about her life tentatively titled Music, Myth and Misogyny: Memoirs Of A Female MC.  During the interview Williams offered to publish Barnes’ book as well as help make a movie about her story through Wendy’s publishing company and distribution channels.

Wendy donated $15,000 along with Hotels.com to help out Barnes’ housing situation. Barnes’ GoFundMe campaign reached over $30,000 with the help of the music community in a matter of a few days.
