Bambi Almost Throws Hands On “Love & Hip Hop” After Intense Bickering With Amy Luciani

August 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta is having quite the hectic season so far, with a particularly viral moment leading the spicy and salacious charge. Moreover, Bambi and Amy Luciani recently experienced a very heated argument on the show, as Luciani initially called Bambi “fake” and sparked a spat. The insults and back-and-forths are pretty par the course if you’re a fan of the show, and while things didn’t turn violent or physical, they certainly threatened to take it there. What’s more is that Amy even brought up all the drama around Bambi and Lil Scrappy, which definitely doesn’t bode well for the rest of the season as far as amicability goes.

While folks thought that they reunited following their messy split, Bambi and Lil Scrappy took to Instagram Live to explain their current status. Most importantly, they clarified that they still maintain a healthy coparenting relationship when it comes to their three children: Xylo, Breland, and Cali. In addition, they also made it clear that they will stay on L&HH: Atlanta after ten-plus years of tenure, and even joked about how they didn’t care about how MTV wanted them to progress their relationship. As such, it seems like they’re on pretty good terms right now, although it’s clearly still not safe from Amy Luciani’s jabs.

Regardless, this follows a lot of animosity in the past, such as Lil Scrappy accusing Bambi of not really treating him seriously as a partner when it comes to her fidelity and consideration. “What I’m not finna do though is let a motherf***er make me an option,” he ranted on Instagram Live. “I did that when I was married, I did that before I was married, I did that even after I was married for a little bit until I went crazy. I really went crazy and lost my mind. But I’m learning that I already know what I want.

“I want somebody that’s gonna take accountability,” Lil Scrappy said about the Bambi situation. “That’s knowledgeable about life, God… With or without kids already.” We’ll see whether or not Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta‘s new season contains any more fiery reflections on this story, and who will nearly throw hands next.

Spice Calls Out Erica Mena’s Racial Slur Apology For Being Phony

July 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Erica Mena shocked Love and Hip Hop fans in 2023. She referred to fellow cast member Spice as a “blue monkey” during an episode, and was widely criticized for her racially-charged comment. Mena was then kicked off the show. The reality star was initially reluctant to apologize, but she walked back her stance in a recent appearance on Cam Newton’s Funky Friday podcast. Mena tried to make it clear that she was in the wrong. It didn’t do much to repair things with Spice, however. The Love and Hip Hop star made her opinion known in a scathing IG rant.

Let’s unpack Erica Mena’s apology, first. The reality star admitted she was being insensitive towards others. “I’m disappointed in the fact that I let down women of color who felt that I was speaking in that manner,” she told Cam Newton. She did, however, claim that her “blue monkey” comment was taken out of context. Mena felt that the Love and Hip Hop producers didn’t show what Spice was saying and doing before Mena lashed out. “I do wish that more of her actions were shown,” she stated. “So the audience had a better understanding of what provoked me.”

Spice Attacked Erica Mena For Her Racist Behavior On Set

Spice did not like what she heard. The Love and Hip Hop took to the Shade Room comment section to get her bars off. And did she ever. Spice immediately called out Erica Mena for being disingenuous with her apology. She also claimed Mena was adopting a “victim mentality” to elicit sympathy. “Take me out of the equation since you still have a Victim mentality in our situation,” she wrote. “Remember you are a repeated offender. You have no remorse for a culture that put millions of [dollars] in your pocket. You could have said anything but you chose to disrespect a whole Nation.”

Spice didn’t stop there. She implied that the “blue monkey” controversy was not an isolated incident. She implied that Erica Mena regularly displayed racism on the set of Love and Hip Hop. “Blue monkey,” evidently, was just the one that got her in trouble. “You couldn’t sit at my table because I been knew you think you’re better than dark skin girls,” Spice asserted. “I heard how you spoke about me behind my back, you just got caught on camera that day.” Unsurprisingly, Mena has not responded.

‘Love And Hip Hop’ Star Tommie Lee Arrested In Miami On Battery Charges

June 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Several reports have confirmed that Love And Hip Hop star Tommie Lee was arrested on battery charges in Miami over the weekend in an incident that occurred at the famous LIV Nightclub.

Miami Police records say that police arrived at LIV to find Lee being subdued by a man who claims that he was assaulted by the reality star. The man told police that he was approached by Lee, who he believed was trying to give him an unknown object. The man didn’t accet the object, which is when Lee allegedly began being belligerent and even said she would have him killed.

The man said he’s never met Tommie Lee before this incident.

He claims that the 39-year-old continually poked him in his face which prompted him to grab her by the arms and held her until the police arrived. Authorities took a look at surveillance footage, which was consistent with the unidentified man’s version of events.

Tommie Lee was then placed under arrest for misdemeanor battery.

Bambi is moving on. She has been about a year removed from her divorce from rapper Lil Scrappy, and now the mother of three is ready to go back to the dating world. Good luck! In the preview, she and Karlie Redd go on a double date. Then the conversation takes a turn when they dish about non-monogamous relationships. Whew. When Bambi’s “date” starts talking about polygamy, Redd says she has had her situations.

Here’s the play-by-play… “I’ve been in that,” she says. “I might as well be [in a polygamous relationship]. I can’t waste time on someone who wants to send rings to another girl…” Bambi then asks if Redd’s man sent engagement rings to another girl, to which Redd says yes. “Why are you still like straddling the fence?” Bambi asks. “I’m not straddling the fence…we have business…” In her confessional, Redd says it’s not easy to leave her relationship because they still live together and are in business. Redd then excuses herself from the table to answer the phone for her “primary boyfriend,” per a production note on the screen.

The episode airs Tuesday night at 8 p.m. on MTV.

Lil Scrappy Says He’s “Always Been In Love” With Erica Dixon

February 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Scrappy said in a recent interview that he has “always been in love” with Erica Dixon, even when seeing other people. The rapper and reality star was not spared the wrath of the internet for this declaration of love, however. “I’m so in love with you I got married and had 3 kids instead of working on myself and becoming the man that you needed, got it ,” one person said. “This is so cruel fr. He married a woman but was in love with another woman the whole time? He could have just played the field until she was ready to reciprocate. As a woman I would feel so bad if my bd told me that he still was in love with me after marrying a woman and giving her 3 kids, I would be so disgusted with him,” added another.

Rumors of a reunion between the two have swirled since at least Thanksgiving. Of course, the pair already share one child as a result of their decade-plus involvement with one another. However, Dixon has made it clear that her focus at the moment is finding a successful model of co-parenting with Scrappy.

Meanwhile, Scrappy has shot back at online rumors that Bambi is actually his cousin. “Don’t come over here with that. She is baby mama number two to me,” Scrappy said while livestreaming while eating out at a restaurant. The only thing I’m connected to with her is my kids. I love my babies, y’all know that. That’s the only thing we can talk about,” Scrappy explained on the stream. Scrappy responded to the comments that he had seen online. He was not directly asked about the claims during his livestream. However, some people did ask if he had seen people talking about it.

Scrappy and Bambi were married between 2017 and 2023 before an explosive divorce. The pair had three children during their marriage, whom they co-parent following the divorce. There are nothing other comments on social media to indicate that the pair have any more of a familial relationship than exes. While Scrappy has responded, Bambi is yet to add her own comments to the situation.

Prince Michael has responded to the backlash to his recent comments on his relationship with Lori Harvey. In doing so, he defended his decision to open up, although he did admit he’s not “innocent” in the situation.

Prince began his statement by admitting that he understands where the backlash is coming from: “Whilst I can appreciate & understand everyone’s view on the podcast, I disagree. I understand the manner in which the question came off distasteful & I tried to answer in a manner that would still be funny, & salacious but still respectful, clearly I failed although I stated certain things to paint a clearer picture.”

From there, he argued that “this is MY life, MY story, MY truth. I would never get on any public platform & just LIE or talk about a sexcapade. But whether it was public knowledge or not, I had a relationship with this person regardless if you consider it one or not. & I feel like I can speak on my past relationships. Had this been a hook-up or a one night stand & I was being messy I get it. But to the public knowledge y’all really only know & have seen me with Liz on LHH. Can I not talk about Liz ever & our relationship cuz it’s the past? Or Claudia? My most recent ex, who’s exes include a famous Cuban artist, athletes? Nah I’m not innocent, I played into the bullshit a little bit just tryna entertain y’all & I can see where I’m in the wrong, not blind. But this whole narrative being pushed is beyond the truth.” Check out his full statement below.

Prince Responds To Backlash

As for his original comments, Prince provided numerous specific details on his and Harvey’s love life. He added that the sex was “phenomenal,” and noted:“I f**k with thick Lori, she wasn’t as thin like now, I prefer the old Lori.”

October 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Fans of the Love & Hip Hop franchise will be excited to hear news of a new Love & Hip Hop Houston spinoff that includes notable artists from the city. It has been reported that a new show is in the works as of now. Rumors began in 2016 of a new Love & Hip Hop franchise that was set to expand to the city but there wasn’t much development on the subject. During that time, there were talks of potential cast members such as Jhonni Blaze, Mehgan James, Kirko Bangz, and Just Brittany. Additionally, a roster of several other renowned Houston natives who are embedded in the music industry were considered.

However, production was reportedly stopped indefinitely due to safety concerns for the crew on set. According to insiders, there were alleged acts of extreme violence between cast members and issues with those local to the area, citing the set as “too chaotic”. As months turned to years, there was little insight on whether or not the plans for Love & Hip Hop: Houston would ever come to fruition.
