As you recall just last month the former About Justin star released a porno with BlackBoysAddictionz, followed by the announcements of his new web series, L.I.T., and teased a music single, “About Me.” Check it out below!
And more importantly what would his next move be? Well, it looks like the former About Him and About Justin web star has been busy starring in Corey Knott’s newest web series, (the creator and director of Living For The Weekend) L.I.T.: The Mini Series.
Here, Rico plays a young man who has moved to Atlanta for a new life and a new chance at love with his boyfriend, Quan. Unsurprisingly things go well for him at first until he is introduced to the darker, faster side of the gay lifestyle of the city when he begins working at a club called “L.I.T.”. Drugs, sexy, and alcohol seemingly cost him everything. Check out the trailer below:
We have to admit this extended trailer is HOT! Perhaps one of the more explosive ones we have ever seen. This will definitely be a web series to watch this Spring, not only because we get to see more of Rico, but his other hot cast mates as well. Justen Ruff, Gorgeous Montana, Zahfar, Jovantae Brownlee, Mustang, and Tyrell Moore are all very attractive men! Still, we have never seen Rico in a serious, dramatic role like this one. It looks like our “Best Friend” is finally all grown up!
Tragically, this story is all too real and at times hits close to home. How many times have we seen or heard stories of young Black Gay Men moving to Atlanta hopeful and inspired only to lose themselves in the darker aspects of the city’s Black Gay subcultures. We know there is a lesson to be learned from this miniseries, but perhaps it should serve as a cautionary tale just as much as a vehicle for entertainment.
Check back here for more info and maybe a few interviews (crossing our fingers)!

From About Him to About Justin, we have fallen head over heels for web star and model, Rico Pruitt! Is it any surprise? The boy haas never shied away from giving his fans what they demand, be it hot scenes on his various web series, your daily thirst trap picture, or unwittingly that sex tape his ex-boyfriend leaked late last year. It seems now, however, all of that risque activity has culminated in our favorite boy not only baring it all but getting it in thanks to BlackBoyAddictionz.
News about Rico’s porn have been swirling in our inbox for months now, and not only are they true, but we will soon be posting an exclusive interview where he is revealing all! Everything you wanna know, the who’s, the whats, they whys, and even the how comes! You can check out a few pictures and a preview from the former About Justin star’s adult film on the next page!
We have to warn you the images and footage you are about to see are graphic and mature. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED, NO ONE UNDER 18!
It has definitely been a wild ride these last few months with the cast (s) of About Him! Last summer this talented group of young men took the nation by storm with a story that brought to the forefront the pain and pleasure of young Black gay men coming of age. As you already know, one of them was Rico Pruitt, who starred as “Justin,” on the hit web series, and later in About Justin. We were already enamored with Brandon Karson and Gary Lavard on screen, but adding Rico into the mix was liking adding a little extra spice to make the show “extra nice!”
However, all things come to an end eventually; and from the looks of it Rico has decided to end his relationship with Signal 23 TV! The popular web star took to Facebook and Instagram announcing not only his departure from About Justin, but the company as well. Check out his post below:
Signal 23 TV declined to comment. We are surprised to see Rico and Signal 23 TV are parting ways, but this is not unheard of. As you recall other original About Him stars, Brandon Karson (Damien) and Rahim Brazil (Kendall) parted ways with the company in December of last year. Rico is a good friend to our site and we definitely wish all parties involved the best of luck in their future endeavors.
You can catch an in depth interview with Rico Pruitt and his new project soon on HeyMikeyATL EXCLUSIVELY!
Apparently, Signal 23 TV is releasing their own second season of the series, with the subheading of The Revolution! This second season brings back Gary Lavard, Rico Pruitt, and Tripp Ali, and newcomer Rion Deshon (Steel River: When We Were Young). However, as we reported earlier this week will NOT feature Brandon Karson or Rahim Brazil, as they are starring in Tyson Anthony’s version of About Him!
Yes, this means there are currently TWO SEPARATE SECOND SEASONS of About Him on two different networks–Signal 23 TV and Bawn TV! Check out the trailer for About Him: The Revolution below!
The trailer for About Him: The Revolution is riveting! It appears to be a war cry, leaving us wondering what will become of the characters this season. We can surmise from the strong figures in it, and the fact that “revolution” is the theme that a major change has taken place in the story line that will alter all the lives of our favorite boys!

2016 may be the crowning jewel of the Digital Age. Never before has the world been so interconnected and intertwined, thanks to the internet and its vain child, social media! With the push of a button, or the flick of a mouse, information, like a pandemic, goes viral; and what should be a private matter becomes a free circus for all the world to see. Nothing, however, outshines these shenanigans like a sex tape! Everyone either has one, has seen one, or starred in one; and thanks to XTube and Pornhub they are the new ways we get our porn. The ramifications of these sex tapes vary; especially when you are in the limelight. For Kim Kardashian it infamously put her (and her family) on top of the world and for Mimi Faust it showed us a different side to a reality star we thought was taking the higher road.
Unless you have been hiding under a rock, then you know nearly a month ago a sex tape was leaked with Rico and his ex-boyfriend engaging in a rather private moment. Apparently his ex, desperate for money, posted the tape on his personal website with no regard to Rico’s wishes or the damage it could due to his career. One of our “minions” (HeyMikeyATL followers and informants) dropped a link to it in our anonymous tip box, trying to sell it to us for a few hundred bucks. Rico is a friend to the site and our founder, prompting us to reach out to him for commentary before breaking the story.
About Him may be on hiatus until Season 2, but that gives us just enough time to dive into About Justin! As you may recall, About Justin, starring Rico Pruitt, centers on “Justin” from About Him, one of Damien’s (Brandon Karson) love interests. His debut episode, Best Friends (Episode 10) nearly broke the internet. Refresh yourself on the hotness below!
Yep, Signal 23 TV, has released a teaser trailer for the series , and it looks like it is going to be a lot of fun. See it below.
So yeah this trailer is hilarious, but hot! We definitely would have preferred him in Batman attire, but we digress (lol)! Rico is a very insta-famous (Have y’all seen his Instagram pics!?) and his character did bring a lot of buzz to the show, so making a spin-off series based on him was a wise move. We are not sure if any of the characters from About Him will be appearing on the series, but we are hoping for a few hot crossovers! We do know for sure Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta’s Mama Dee is playing his mother so you know things are going to be wild! Check back here soon, we might just have a few words from Rico himself!
