I'm not sure if this the case, but im from the hood, I've dj at stripclubs and for stripper parties. I'm very cool with a lot of strippers and a few pimps.
I'll be first to say a lot of these young women play dangerous games with very dangerous men. These women have dealt with so many simp, they start thinking all men can be manipulated with sex and beauty. DEAD WRONG!!
Another thing, I've never known a pimp that dealt drugs. Must be some young half azz pimps. Pimping is a full-time job. They have to run around and do everything for theirs. These have no money, pimp buys their clothes, drugs, take them everywhere, pick them up. Drop them off whatever they may need. I was a pimps assistant back in the day.. no lie. In Houston too.
My guess she was dealing with some young hard-core steppers, that were pimping on the side. OG pimps don't have no plugs or engage in brute violence and robberies. They don't need too, my close Pimp buddy was making 1000 a day (tax free) . With 2 girls. Definitely a young crew.
