TRICK DADDY - TRICK DADDY TO HOST COOKING SHOW

Hip-hop star TRICK DADDY is steering his career in a new direction - as the host of a cooking show.

The I'M A THUG rapper, real name MAURICE YOUNG, has filmed a pilot for cable network MTV, but he's kept some of his recipes under wraps.

He tells website ALLHIPHOP.COM, "They wanted me to cook all my dishes. I'm like, 'How am I gonna cook all my dishes?' Then if I have a show I'm a run out of s**t to do.

"I'll cook you two dishes and then you lay around for next time up. So if they like it, we gonna go from there."

The rapper also plans to invite a few friends onto the programme, if it gets picked up for a full season.

He adds, "I'll probably have a lot of rap cats come on up. You know a lot of n**gers think they know how to cook. I'm a show you how n**gers f**k up and burn eggs. And have the shells in them."

But Trick Daddy insists there's one dish he won't ever be cooking on his show: "I cook anything but chitlins. Because chitlins smell like a dirty a*s."
