The rapper and director behind the music video featuring Twerking, the NYPD detective who claimed to be Twerking in Thong in the first public comment since the song spread that “star” dancers don't consider themselves to be New York's finest members.
Pitch Perfect, who directed the Rapper S-Quire's Funchy Video, I told TMZ In an interview Friday, the duo hired Melissa Mercado, a veterinarian for the NYPD for seven years, from the casting agency, claiming that the filming was handled professionally.
“None of us knew what her main occupation was…,” the director said.
The Long Island-based rapper's song “Doin That,” sparked a stir this week when the Post and other press identified the female pole dancing and True King, roughly gulp in the music video, as a hopeful woman.
“I have no words,” the anonymous detective told the post after watching Racy Vid.
Pitch Perfect claimed to TMZ that a curved officer working in a special victim squad in the NYPD has become the sought after dancer for other rap videos since his appearance in S-Quire songs.
“Everyone loved this model,” the director said, and S-Quire agreed, calling her a “beautiful woman.”
“I reached out to a lot of artists to try and put her in the video,” Pitch Perfect told the outlet, “If you look at it like that, it might be great for her. I think she'll win.”
“She was one of the stars,” the director added.
S-Quire wasn't very suitable for finding silver lining and seemed more suffering due to the attention of detective-centered media.
“You pray for something like this, but not like this,” S-Quire told TMZ.
“After everything has fallen, I'm watching this all and seeing the story change,” S-Quire told TMZ Somberly. “I know I have a family too, and this woman also has a family.
“Yeah, I love the fact that it went viral, but I don't want to be known as a guy who went viral because she was a police officer,” he called the outlet a “very unfortunate situation.”
By the beginning of Saturday, the “Do” VID had received over 1.6 million views, but S-Quire claimed it had already reached the 1 million view mark before the massive exposure produced by news about Mercado's day work.
Neither man has spoken to Mercado since filming, but he has expressed his best wishes to the Stop and Frisky Detective.
Pitch Perfect and S Choir told TMZ that they would be sure to ask if the performers on their set have another career.
