'Black Ink Crew: Chicago': Don Brumfield shuts down Apex Universe on its opening day
If you're down for some hot gossip sessions and want to kick back with some heated drama, watch 'Black Ink Crew: Chicago'. This is an American reality series that is airing on VH1. The reality show walks us through the everyday operations and staff drama at a predominantly African American-owned and tattoo shop, called 9MAG, in Chicago.
The show stars Ryan Henry, Katrina Jackson, Van Johnson, Phor Brumfield, Don Brumfield, Charmaine Walker, Danielle Jamison, Liliana Barrios, and Karis Phillips on Season 7. Back in May Don's management revealed in an update that he was hospitalized due to “serious heart issues", a glimpse of which we saw in the previous episode. He was admitted to the hospital and was kept under observation, much to the shock of his family and friends. “As of now he just needs everyone’s support while he continues to rest and improve. Please keep his family and friends in your prayers, and thank you all for the continued support," the post had stated. Thankfully, he bounced back pretty quickly and was stable shortly after.
