One of the most recognizable bottoms in the business just blasted a studio on Twitter for unfair pay.
Superstar Armond Rizzo sent out a series of Twitter yesterday claiming that a certain studio pays bottom performers “way less” than their top counterparts. The studio pays bottoms less because “the site is more top dominant,” according to Rizzo.
“I don’t give a fuck who are you to say that a bottom is worth less????” tweeted the A-list star.
Rizzo went on to reveal in another tweet that the the studio in question was Blacks on Boys, a site that advertises itself as “home to the best interracial gay smut!”
If your wondering what site I am talking about it’s @BlacksOnBoys such a shame… lost my respect.

For @BlacksOnBoys if your wondering what my response is to working for you I think your smart enough to know that, it’s going to be a big NO THANKS! I don’t care that you even raised my fee up. It’s just unjust you pay bottoms less and for that I decline working for you!

Rizzo is refusing to work with the studio even after they apparently increased his pay. “I don’t care that you even raised my fee up. It’s just unjust you pay bottoms less and for that I decline working for you!” tweeted Rizzo.
Other performers and fans reached out in support of Rizzo. Twitter user and performer Blatino Bottom tweeted that they previously worked with Blacks on Boys and they have a history of poor pay. They also claimed that the studio “didn’t want Black bottoms.”
One fan wrote that being a bottom is “20 times more work and risk” and another said that tops usually look good in scenes because of the effort from the bottom. Rizzo replied tweeting, “You know how many scenes I’ve done where I’ve done all the fucken work because the top is lazy as fuck.”
The Ellen Show and internet star Kalen Allen even chimed in on the controversy. “That’s it I’m about to become a bottom activist!”

The Twitter account for Blacks on Boys has not been active since 2018, so it’s unlikely that we will see a Twitter fight evolve from Armond’s callout. We will update this story if anything else major happens though.
What do you think of the situation? Should Rizzo have called out the studio? Should the studio pay the bottom performers more for their work?
Porn performers should ALL be played the same. Regardless of Top or Bottom.
