Another VH1 reality show contestant commits murder
Jamal “Miliown” Trulove
Man I tell you, VH1 sure knows how to cast winners for their reality shows. Yet another VH1 reality star has been charged with murder!
Jamal “Milliown” Trulove, who was featured on “I Love New York 2,” is currently on trial for the 2007 murder of 28-year-old Seu Kuka in a San Francisco-area housing project. San Francisco prosecutors say that his brief appearance on the reality show (Tiffany “New York” Pollard booted him on the first episode for fighting) helped them capture Trulove. From the San Francisco Chronicle:
Trulove, 29, went on trial this week for the July 23, 2007, slaying of Seu Kuka, 28. Prosecutors say Trulove shot Kuka at the Sunnydale public housing project in Visitacion Valley as Kuka was chasing Trulove’s brother during a fight.
The district attorney’s office has one eyewitness who will be called to testify after lawyers deliver their opening statements as soon as Tuesday – a woman who told San Francisco authorities in fall 2007 that Trulove, whom they had been hunting for three months, had shown up on the VH1 reality series “I Love New York 2.”
The series was taped in Los Angeles shortly before Kuka was slain. In it, Trulove – billing himself as a rap singer named Milliown – was one of 15 or so suitors vying for the affections of Tiffany “New York” Pollard, a reality TV veteran.

This is the second time a former VH1 reality show contestant has been involved in a murder scandal. Last summer, Ryan Jenkins from “Megan Wants a Millionaire” was suspected in the brutal murder of his girlfriend, model Jasmine Fiore. Jenkins escaped the country and was found dead in a hotel room in Canada after reportedly hanging himself.
Perhaps VH1 should invest in better background checks. But on the bright side, at least they found New York. She is hands down the QUEEN of reality television. Speaking of New York, she needs another show! VH1, are you listening?
