‘Fired!’: ‘Black Ink Crew’ Fans Applaud Puma for Taking Action After a Fight Breaks Out In the Shop

Black Ink Crew” star Paul “Puma” Robinson is clearly fed up with employees.

Robinson is now in business with his longtime friend and business partner Ceaser Emanuel, whom he splits Black Ink 50/50 with. Although the Ink 124 owner seems to be the lenient one between him and Emanuel, apparently he finally decided to put his foot down and fire the apparent “bad apples” in the shop.

During a teaser for Wednesday night’s episode, a huge altercation broke out between cast members Mike AC, Super Dope Q and Krystal Kills. It’s unclear what the co-stars’ argument was about, but it caused Mike and Q to come to blows. After the pair were escorted away from each other by security, Kills added her input and yelled to her co-workers, “Y’all wanna be on some fake s–t forreal!”

In the midst of the chaos, Robinson stepped in front of Kills and yelled, “Get out the shop! You’re fired!” As he continued to scream “you’re fired” two more times, the camera also panned toward Q and Mike, who rolled his eyes in disbelief.

Black Ink” viewers commended the Ink 124 owner for regulating the shop and chastising his employees for their unprofessional behavior.

“Lol puma went off 😂😂😂😂 as he should! Every thing doesn’t have to be an altercation you can cash checks without violence..”

“Puma not f–kin around 🤣🤣 Lmfao … YOUR FIRE , GET OUT 😂😂 I get it tho all they do is fight”

“Puma big mad 🤣. YOUR FIRED ! Bye krystal get they asses out of derr Puma. He don’t got time for the foolishness”

“Wtf just happened 😱🤔I love Puma! He don’t go for that sh-t. If they keep him on… people might start tattoo frfr”

Although fans are rooting for Robinson’s role at “Black Ink,” it’s clear his co-worker Teddy Ruks isn’t. Ruks even told Emanuel last episode that he didn’t think it was a good idea to be business partners with Robinson, saying, “With this whole situation with P. … You doing a lot, so I know you can’t take on all the responsibility. … I think you moving a little too fast. Just stay on point, bro.”
