VH1 has revealed the cast for the upcoming season of “Love and Hip Hop New York.”
Last season was explosive thanks to Yandy Smith’s ongoing feuds with Mendeecees Harris’ other baby mamas, Erika DeShazo and Samantha Wallace.
Now it appears Samantha and Erika won’t be returning for season eight.
Kimbella also is absent from the cast list, as well as Peter Gunz, Amina Buddafly and Tara Wallace.
Safaree Samuels has also joined the cast.
VH1 writes:
From the land of the returning, Remy Ma is at the top of her game after snagging Best Female Artist at the 2017 BET Awards. She and hubby Papoose are stronger than ever and with her position in the game already solidified, Remy has a new mission Queen Latifah had us all familiar with: U.N.I.T.Y! In a male-dominated industry, Remy is determined to prove that anything men can do, women can do better. The couple is hoping that amidst their busy schedules, they can still focus on their family. After suffering a miscarriage last season, Remy and Pap are looking to give IVF a shot.
Yandy-Smith Harris is continuing to hold things down while her husband Mendeecees is still serving time. Now, we all know Yandy is a go-getter but this season will her hustler’s spirit cause a rift between her and Mendeecees? With a potential 2018 prison release around the corner, their relationship is put to the test as trust begins to be called into question.
Bianca Bonnie is around the way and no she’s not having bread thrown at her this time around but is finding herself at odds with a newbie rapper named Brittney Taylor who is coming for her spot.
Snoop makes her return and is on a quest for love post-J.Adrienne. With sights on starting a family, Snoop is also trying to get her label Gorgeous Gangster Records poppin’. Can’t forget JuJu whose book was such a success, she’s looking to make some thespians out of her fellow cast-mates to put on a play.
DJ Self is still gwinin’ alongside Mariahlynn but now adds another artist to his roster, Dream Doll formerly of Bad Girl’s Club. Speaking of Miss “Once Upon A Time Not Long Ago,” Mariahlynn might get a bit distracted now that she’s dating a young man who goes by James R.
For the newbies, we’ll meet Lil’ Mo, who isn’t new in the game but a refreshing addition to the cast. This “Superwoman” will be on the scene with her gold medal-winning boxer & welterweight champion husband Karl Dargan by her side. Anais is a sexy Dominican singer ready to sprinkle some Sazòn on the season. Kick-a*s attorney Navarro Gray represents her but will find himself in a lovers quarrel because his girlfriend Ashley Diaz isn’t feeling Anais.
Straight out of Harlem, rapper Jaquae will find his way in the game while causally hooking up with former video vixen Sophia Body. Image consultant Jonathan Fernandez is kicking off his cosmetic line and is looking to explore his relationship with R&B singer Trent Crews.
It’s not Love & Hip Hop without Rich Dollaz who too will be back, again. Oh, and BURR! Safaree Samuels comes on home as he leaves Hollywood to focus on his boxer/brief line, coconut oil, keeping that fur collection fresh, and even has a new fling in sights.
LHHNY returns October 30 at 8/7c.
Lil Mo? And Kimbella is gone? Meh.
I see Yandy was able to convince Mona to get rid of Sam and Erika. She can return to being fraudulent again and remain messy behind the scenes as usual.
If Lil Mo and her “huzband” don’t plan to discuss his interest in men, there’s no point of them being on the show.
They really hyped Remy up in this press release. If her career is doing so well now, why is she doing another season? Cardi left and got a number one single. Remy won the BET Award just to go back to LHHNY. She’s not playing her cards right.
Hmm Lil Mo may have been a good move.
Why does Safaree need to be on two of these shows? He’s only interesting when he’s talking about Nicki. Otherwise, besides a funny gif here and there, he’s not needed. One show is enough.
What, Peter, Tara and Amina gone. Wow, they were the most disgusting of the crew. Thank goodness, I don’t have to listen to Tara complain about Peter’s wife (I don’t care how she got him) sleeping with him. Tara was a space cadet not saying the other two were any better but the three of them should have been on a show of their own rated X after midnight.
So we get no closure on the baby mama storyline. Lame.
Sounds like it will be another terrible season.
dream doll Mariah and Bianca can go.
