Former MTV executive Terrence Dean is fanning the flames of controversy in his new book, Hiding in Hip-Hop: Confessions of a Down Low Brother in the Entertainment Industry.

“Terrance Dean’s HIDING IN HIP-HOP: Confessions of a Down Low Brother in the Entertainment Industry, detailing the author’s life as a closeted homosexual working in the film and music industry and his relationships with other closeted homosexuals — film stars, rap artists, and music producers, to Krishan Trotman at Atria at auction by Karen E. Quinones Miller of Liza Dawson Associates. “

After the Hiding in Hip-Hop deal was officially announced, the net has exploded with folks hot on the trail for the names of those undercover famous people included in Dean’s tell-all.

However, reports claim that Terrance Dean will not actually tell all in Hiding in Hip-Hop, and that Dean will not name names in his book, unlike his female predecessors, Karrine Steffans and Carmen Bryan.

Yet an Atria spokesperson has reportedly claimed that the real-life personas of down-low men that Dean describes in Hiding in Hip-Hop will be easy to decipher.

“Let’s put it this way: You’ll know who they are,” she said, according to various online sources. [source]
