BALTIMORE -- An underground DVD featuring a cameo by Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony has popped up on eBay.The DVD is called "Stop Snitching" and features reputed drug dealers threatening people who inform Baltimore police about drug activity.
Anthony has been criticized for appearing in it, although he said he didn't participate intentionally.He is also seen on the DVD talking about his Olympic bronze medal and saying that he threw it in a lake. The man he stands next to later goes on to tell how he would take care of snitches by "putting a hole in their head." However, Anthony does not appear to be taking part in that portion of the discussion.The video was put up for sale last week on eBay.The accompanying text urged buyers to see what all the talk was about. It sold early Thursday for $102.50 after fetching 17 bids.Three more copies appeared on the auction site on Friday.The DVD was selling for $10 on Baltimore's streets. The production includes music, dancing and spoken messages, with clips showing men stuffing wads of cash into their pockets, driving in convertibles, smoking marijuana and flashing diamond-encrusted watches."I just think (Anthony) was hanging out with some guys that he probably knew growing up and was just hanging out ... They got to talking and the last thing he was going to do is run away from it, so he just hung out with the guys. The last thing he thought is that it would be a production -- a DVD selling in the streets," Anthony's agent Calvin Andrews said.
