Love & Hip Hop’s Winter Ramos Gets Real About Tell-All, Spills Some Tea

By: Amanda Anderson-Niles

Love and Hop newbie Winter Ramos is causing some friction already thanks to her upcoming tell-all book Game Over that has already managed to ruffle some feathers with some of her cast mates. Regardless of the friction, Winter plans to move forward with her book, and it’s being speculated that she is naming names when it comes to her past flings and romances with Hip Hop artists. While there still hasn’t been many details released about the book as of yet, AllHipHop was able to confirm that some of the Hip Hop artists who have been called out in the book include Jadakiss and Game (who she calls corny reportedly).

Winter recent did an interview with Coco Fab, and she opened up about her tell-all book and even dropped a little tea on the Love and Hip Hop franchise.

When it comes to the tell-all label, Winter claims the book isn’t really a tell-all, but more so an autobiography of her life in the business. She also says that she wrote the book because she wants more women in the industry to understand that they can be much more than girlfriends and jump-offs. She took a moment to defend the fact that she’s dated artists, and claims that it should be expected considering she’s around them all the time:

When people say “tell all,” everyone panics because they’re like, “Oh, you putting people’s business out there because they hear tell all. But yeah, it’s a tell all. It’s about all what I went through. It’s my business and I’m entitled to put it in the book. And it’s not just about sexual relationships and bragging about I slept with this guy, it’s kind of something for young ladies to read coming up in the industry. When you’re 13/14 watching Love and Hip Hop, or and you’re like, man I want to be a part of that but damn all I can do is be a part of the video or be a sex symbol or show my ass on Instagram or be a girlfriend. There are other things you can do. You can actually work. You can be the head of marketing, you can be the head of radio promotions you can be the general manager at a label, you can be an assistant—there are a lot of job opportunities for women where you can work. And in the process, if you want to date these guys—I’m just saying what that comes with, so it’s more so my story and I don’t want anyone to think that I’m trying to brag about being a slut, because that’s not the case. If you work in an environment—and I’ve been working in hip-hop since ’97—of course I’m gonna date these guys. I’m always around. I’m always in the studio or at the label. I’m a nice looking young lady, they’re gonna try to talk.

 

Winter also says that “tell-alls” now get a bad rep because Superhead was so messy with hers.

The reality star also dropped a little tea on the Love and Hip Hop franchise and basically confirmed that Mona is looking to add yet another city to the series, Miami:

“I would definitely do it again. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they do this in Miami because I’m over New York, [laughs]. I’m hoping that we can flip this some kind of way in Miami but I would definitely do it again. I love Mona. I look up to her as a businesswoman in the music industry. There’s no bad blood between me and the other girls on the cast. That’s probably why you haven’t seen me yet because I haven’t thrown a drink but I’m all about empowerment in the music industry. I’ve been around for so long it’s like if we don’t stick together or we’re jealous of each other or we hate on each other it just gets to the point where we can never unite and that’s wrong. If Erica puts lipstick out—and I don’t even wear lipstick—but I’m gonna get it. Tahiry shot a music video. I spent 13 hours on the video set with my girls just to make sure she was ok. I didn’t get paid. I feel like it’s vey important that we support each other as far as women, and I want to make sure that young women see that you don’t have to throw a drink or you don’t have to act crazy in the street to be successful in this industry.”

 

Game Over is set to release in April.
