The newest edition of the Love and Hip Hop family, Love & Hip Hop Miami premiered New Year’s Day and the first episode is already causing a media frenzy.
Season 1 of LHHMIA introduced us to some new faces as well as some very familiar faces in hip-hop. The 24 member cast is one of the largest cast groups the franchise has seen. A few of the cast members made their first appearances in the first episode they included; Trick Daddy, Trina, Amara La Negra, Shay Johnson, Pleasure P, Gunplay, Bobby Lytes, Veronica Vega, Christopher “Prince” Michael Harty, Jojo Zarur, and Young Hollywood.
Episode one of LHHM had us all excited to see the Queen of Miami Hip Hop Trina and hip-hop legend Trick Daddy. We are interested in seeing what their life is like and how LHHM will add to their already successful musical careers. Not to mention all the family drama that seems to be brewing with a fellow cast member, openly gay, rap artist and first cousin of Trina Bobby Lytes. And the relationship drama between Trick Daddy and his wife who is also the cousin of Trina.
Episode 1 also reintroduced us to Pleasure P of the R&B group Pretty Ricky and his new love interest Shay Johnson who we all know from Flava of love and the ex-flame of LHHATL Lil’ Scrappy. The two lovers are growing through the grooves of building a deeper relationship while Pleasure P tries and resurrect his former musical group, Pretty Ricky.
And we all finished the episode feeling a certain kind of way about Young Hollywood and his comments concerning natural hair. The famed producer who Afro-Latina music artist Amara La Negra was looking to work with for her next American music project. The newly signed artist who just signed a multi-album record deal with Fast Life Entertainment Worldwide and BMG, was insulted by Young Hollywood’s distasteful comments concerning her hair. “We need to change the way you look,” the tatted out music pro tells La Negra. “You need to think a little more Beyonce and a little less Macy Grey. You need to lose the afro.”

“Does that mean that you don’t think a woman can be sexy with an afro? In case you didn’t know I am also part black,” she railed back. “I wanted a producer I could work with and do business with.”
La Negra is getting support for her style choices on social media, with many viewers calling YH a “racist” and ignorant about his own Latin background.
It looks like Mona Scott has another successful franchise on her hands. We haven’t even seen the entire cast and there is already enough drama to carry us through 2018. We look forward to watching the storylines of each cast member unfold and we hope they can keep the drink throwing and hair snatching to a minimum and just get to the music. Check out a sneak peak of whats to come in episode 2 of LHHM.
Hip Hop’s favorite newlywed couple is spreading their love for the world to see. Lil’ Scrappy and his wife Bambi tied the knot in October 2017, and the couple seems to be on cloud 9.
Bam took it to IG to share how much she loves her hubby Lil Scrappy with a very heart-felt post.

In a stunning development shaking the entertainment world, Grammy-winning singer, entrepreneur, and reality TV star Kandi Burruss has quietly filed for divorce from her husband Todd Tucker, according to a newly uncovered divorce petition filed in Fulton County Superior Court on November 21, 2025. The filing was made under her married legal name, K. Lenice Tucker.
The court document confirms what fans and industry insiders have been speculating for months: one of reality television’s most successful power couples is now headed toward a legal split.
According to the petition, Kandi states that the marriage between her and Todd is “irretrievably broken,” the statutory grounds required under Georgia law when no reconciliation is possible.
The couple reportedly separated on July 15, 2025, and have lived apart since that date. 25CV016187 - PETITION
This means their separation had already been in effect for several months before Kandi filed the paperwork—suggesting that the marital issues had been ongoing behind the scenes.
The petition confirms that the couple shares two minor children, and Kandi is requesting:
The filing emphasizes that the children have always lived with both parents and that no other custody claims or competing legal actions exist.
Child support, she notes, should be determined under Georgia’s official guidelines.
One of the most significant revelations is Kandi’s insistence that the court enforce the prenuptial agreement she and Todd signed prior to their 2014 wedding.
If the prenup is upheld:
This could shorten what might otherwise become a lengthy and contentious divorce process.
Kandi requests that both parties be responsible for their own attorney fees—a sign that she may be aiming for a streamlined, minimally contentious resolution.
Her attorney on record is Adamma McKinnon, Esq., a respected Atlanta family law practitioner.
While the filing was submitted discreetly under her legal married name, its discovery is already sending shockwaves through:
Kandi and Todd—who married in 2014, built multiple businesses together, and became one of reality TV’s most profitable brands—have not yet issued public statements about the divorce.
Given Kandi’s stature as a major figure in music, television, hospitality, and investment ventures, the split could have significant personal and business implications.
Todd Tucker will now be formally served and given the opportunity to file a response. The court may then schedule hearings to address:
Hip Hop Enquirer will continue monitoring this developing story and provide exclusive updates as additional filings and responses emerge.
