![Mugshot Mania – Antonia ‘Toya’ Wright Arrested in Atlanta… [PHOTO]](http://cdn.straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Antonia-Toya-Carter-Wright-Mugshot-StraightfromtheA-2013-e1386870438690-520x584.jpg)
So it’s official. VH1 has finally confirmed that Love and Hip Hop is coming to Hotlanta!
I spilled the tea back in December about the Atlanta version of the popular VH1 reality series and reportedly filming has already begun!
In my original post which you can re-visit HERE, it was speculated that ATL participants would include Rasheeda, Diamond and Nivea.
Well there may be a reality-show shake up coming soon because word on the curb is that Nivea is a no go and at least one of the people in the photo above will be leaving their high rated show to jump aboard the Love & Hip Hop train.
Here’s what I’ve heard so far about the Love & Hip Hop Atlanta cast…
Diamond and Rasheeda are all aboard.
Rasheeda is a well-known and respected female rapper… at least in Atlanta, where she’s made waves with quite a few singles.
She once joined forces with her BFF Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta along with Toya Carter Wright, Lola Monroe and Diamond for a female version of the song Bedrock.
[WATCH: Bedrock (Remix) ~ Rasheeda ft. Kandi, Toya, Diamond & Lola Monroe - OFFICIAL VIDEO]
Diamond, formerly of the group Crime Mob, has made quite a few hood anthems herself but I’m not too privy on most of em. Diamond is known as a hustler and wants to make it in the game by any means necessary.
She has most notably made her name known on the blogs by associating herself with a few male rappers in the ATL, with Gucci Mane, Scrappy & Soulja Boy all allegedly fighting for the draws…
Rici is said to also joining the cast as a “Yandy” type character.
Rici (formerly of Block Entertainment) is known around the ATL as a celebrity assistant of sorts. She formerly worked with Block Ent. artists like Gorilla Zoe, Yung Joc, and is closely associated with Gucci Mane & Waka Flocka Flame’s camp.
Word on the curb is that those Yung Joc nude shots came from her private stash… (but you didn’t hear that from me).
[Sidebar: There have been rumors that Waka's mom/manager Debra Antney would be joining the cast, but so far that's just a rumor.]
Now this other addition isn’t confirmed but she’s been spotted during castings and on the set during filming and I predict a major shake up if she leaves her current position on another highly rated Atlanta reality show.
Having first worked on The Tiny and Toya Show, Parks has been woo’d by a slew of other shows to work in front of and behind the camera.
Sources say Phaedra may actually be considering jumping ship from The Real Housewives of Atlanta for a more lucrative position working along side Mona. I’m hoping she decides to stay on RHOA but we all know that money talks…
So I’ve possibly revealed at least 4 of the 6 stars of the upcoming Atlanta version of Love & Hip Hop. (Remember where you heard it first!)
What other Atlanta artists should be featured on the show?
FULL PHOTO GALLERY
I hope Phaedra doesn’t leave RHOA! I love watching her. Sad to say, but none of the cast peak my interest so far. Maybe the additional 2 members will add something that will make me want to watch.
Arrghh !!!
If Phaedra knows what is good for her she will stay put, but you’re right, money does talk, but at what cost doe! I not too fond of Diamond for real, but I don’t like her. She seem like a hood rat to me that’s all about the biggest clout. Rasheeda, I respect her grind.
I think usher, and t-boz for starters. Miss Straight from da A I cant leave comment or share posts on your FB page…
What about Sheneka Adams….or is it a rumor she would b on the show!??! I CAN’T WAIT—I’M A FAN OF REALITY T.V..
I’m glad that its women “really” doing things and not Aspiring video/chicks groupies…. I can’t take watching anymore hoes tryna get saved
they should have put usher babymama on there that would have been classic.
diamond and Rici look terrible this show will not last. Love and Hip Hop had the best looking girls in reality tv and now these monsters. Not Rasheeda she is cute.
I was really hoping Nivea would be on the show. She is always good for some water cooler gossip. No surprise about Diamond and Rasheda, but I think maybe they should consider adding Chyna. She and Stormy are the only reason I watch that crazy Amateur Millionaire show.
*clutches pearls* I CAN’T WAIT… RASHEEDA NEEDS SOME "SHINE"! FOR REAL… SHE’S BEEN ON HER GRIND A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG TIME!
Tattooed tear drops are never a good sign & an even worse sign if they’re displayed on a woman…
I like Rasheeda – she’s an underrated artist. I hope this show gives her the recognition that she deserves. Now for Diamond – no words/comment.
do we really need more of this??
ATL men so down low that Clearly the line of a beautiful women is blurred, I don’t see what Diamond has that’ll want these men fighting over her.
*Throws TV out of the window…
Rasheeda its YOUR time girl!!! Get your music out there. Rici looks like she can whip azz i would love for Chrissy to come to Atl and try to punk her. Diamond gets an + for her effort she does grind. The Atl cast is really about their business so it should be good.
What? Are thee no imfamous "models" bka video ass shakers / groupies in ATL that want to be down with this show? I find that very hard to believe. The previews better be good, otherwise I have no interest.
Yay for female boss Rici! What about Mrs. Patton big boi’s wife? That would be great!
Well that’s a wack azz cast. We need Tiny, Young Jeezy’s girl, Ludacris’s girl, Gucci Mane’s beesh. Someone with a real name. Not these washed up azz hoes. Diamond and Rasheeda! Hhmmmmpf!
This is a really good post… Must admit that you are amongst the best bloggers I have read… Thanks………..?
I would like to see any Woman with Class on there and not all abt DRAMA… I LOVE CHRISSY THOUGH…
Woooooooooowwwww
These looks like some hood rich shit. They might as well go and get Kat Stacks form whatever country they deported her to and put her on the show. If they thought Chrissy was a fighter these babes look like they don’t care they will fight till shirts are ripped off.
damn…this is going to be ratchet..who the hell are these folks and phaedra has convinced me she’s no damn attorney..i prefer chrissy(who should get a skin line contract or something) and jim jones i dont want to see these at all..and that assistant must be a dude..i hope there is lhh 3 from jj and chrissy cause i will def not watch these down here..ughhh.
I am not here for this MESS…is this the absolute BEST ATL had to offer for this show?! You have GOT to be kidding me…I know the other 2 BETTER be some real celebs I think I would have perferred Nivea
they really need to work hard on getting Nivea, so far this doesn’t seem interesting. Rasheeda is cute, but not interesting. someone said Big Boi’s wife, that might add some class. it has got to be some more interesting people than Diamond and Rici. what about Joi, who used to sing and be married to the guy in Goodie Mob. don’t do it Mona unless u can get somebody good. go back to the drawing board. what about Blu Cantrell,does she still live here in the A? Lil Mo or some of the baby mamas of rappers here in Atlanta.
They should’ve gotten more interesting characters for L&HHAtl like Tameka Raymond, T-Boz, Chilli, etc because, I mean really who cares about Diamond, Rasheeda and the other chick, who are they? Non factors lol….only Atlantans know who they are, this show will mos def FLOP…DONT DO IT MONA!
ive said it before and ill say it again if you wanna get the show started right and ratings up than KHIA’S your girl!!
What about Michelle brown
Joi relocated to LA
I’m not sure Big would like Sherlita on the show, but I would love to see her managing the store
Resheeda has my vote
Diamond not so much
What about Toya Wright, or is she in NOLA
What about some of our female radio personalities?
Idk, I love to see my city on tv… But I don’t want no mess!!
I wanted Nivea, too. I’m not as excitedd anymore. Rasheeda will be prety good though.
Kat Stacks would’ve been good in a shock-value shit starter type role.
No Nivea…..say it aint so.
Ummm…Out of ALL the chicks the A has connected to rappers in some form or fashion….this is who yall came up with….come on now….at least give me a reason to wanna watch…Diamond and Rasheedah…LMAO….HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…GTFOH
@ @Atlantaaaaa yes we need reall ppl Diamond aint been nothing since she left Crime Mob,Rasheeda kool and this Rici chick I got a feeling she going to be real ghetto if she worked with block and yess we need REAL atlanta ppl that DONT show that Atlanta is the most rachet and ghetto place on earth they need Monica,Tiny,THE REAL HOUSEWIVES and not divored bitchess who aint got no money
Hells no wack wack and wacker.
Thanks girl! u always have the news before it’s news…lol. i really wanna see miss nivea! this show is more up Phae Phae’s avenue…even Kandi. but i really don’t wanna see her and mama joyce!
oh and they really need miss Debbie on the show…talkin about GHETTO fab! she’ll be 10x’s more interesting than Mama Jones
A hot ghetto mess! Why would they cast these alley cats knowing they could’ve landed better by accident. The NYC chicks were ghetto as hell too, but at least they looked classy…but these ghetto bunnies!
The reason why they have d-list people for this show is because these women have no problem being on tv disrespecting each other and fighting. I felt Jim when he said the show should be more about the aspect of music. No real respecting women like Chilli or Monica, wants to be associated with all the bull that comes with the show.
STRAIGHT FROM THE ‘A’ I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED IF YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT THAT NUDE PIC OF JOCK COMING FROM RICCI. LOL!!! AND KNOWING HER STALKER PSYCHO SELF, SHE PROBABLY SOLD THEM FROM HER PHONE. IF THEY WANT SOME REAL DRAMA THEY SHOULD CAST HER AND JOCK’s WIFE, ALEX, ON THE SHOW B/C ALEX NOW KNOWS RICCI WAS SCR*WING THEN STALKING HER HUSBAND WHILE BEING HIS ASSISTANT AND AROUND HER & HER KIDS. THEY ARE BOTH THICK GIRLS SO IT MIGHT BE MESSY!!! AND YANDY WAS KINDA STYLIST & NOT HOODRAT LOOKING FOR THE MOST PART. LOL!!! I THINK ALOT OF HOT ATLANTA WOMEN IN ENTERTAINMENT HAVE TOO MUCH RESPECT FOR THEMSELVES TO BE APART OF REALITY T.V. BULL ESP WITH THIS LAME LINE UP. NOT A FAN ALREADY…..JENNY JONES!!!
OOPS!!! I MEANT ‘HIS PHONE’ AND ‘A PART OF REALITY T.V.’
Good lawd.. I remember when Diamond got her car repossessed on a video shoot!!
Well I’m pretty sure Phaedra has contract obligations.
looks wack so far…whose in love? I dont wanna know who they been screwing…this cannot follow behind chrissy and jimmy, emily and fab…nah not gonna fly
I can be ratchet!!!! Can they pay me the money they are paying those idiots???
Awful
Diamond?????? Really? Ummm and exactly whos supposed to be in love? These chicks are gonna be more ghetto than the Basketball Wives. Sigh.
None of them seem interesting. Would NOT watch!
Eeerrrr uuuhhh i dont know…..
Why the Atlanta cast look like a bunch of cast offs. I will not be watching this batch of coon-nomics. All these broads look broke and busted.
This mess is wack already!
Joi Gilliam. Has genuine vocal talent, although she is criminally slept on. She’s Gipp’s (goodie mob)ex. She’s very unique and good-looking. I don’t care where she relocated, they can work that in. She deserves the exposure.
I would love to see a glacne of these ladies lives……I looooove me sum rasheeda. I say yes I will me watching….. Mona Scott let’s make it happend…team#rasheeda all the way……….
I COSIGN with MIGUEL!!! KHIA could definitely bring it!! It just depends on how much HOODRATCHETNESS we can take!! KHIA is a DEF WRAP!! Also,she should bring her own wardrobe and do her own makeup! If the show started off with that pic on her SFTA topic??..HOW COULD YOU FLIP THE CHANNEL??!!
Umm don’t be coming down herer trying to still tip & tiny shine.? and oh dey tryin take on the housewives i ain’t worried let me go get marlo cause see hir BOL !!!!
And whey frankie gon be @ ? Mama Jones coming down herer after frankie done say she having it? Coming here starting foolishness although i like chrissy and oliva but still H.A.M
They should add the other female from Crime Mob….Princess! That would add the drama since Princess and Diamond dont speak.
Who the F**K are these people? They all look like Hookers and Trannys after a hard nights work. A bunch of LOSERS who would sell their mommas for some fame. I guess if you Can’t make it in CALI OR NY you head for the ATL where if your a Hoodrat, pimp, drug dealer or a hooker you can become a STAR.
I love, love and hip hop but I like the original love and hip hop cast, I will prob not watch if they don’t come back, but ya can gladly get rid of Erica, she is ignorant and really ruins the show. Many girls have boobs but she is discusting, none of our hip hop crowd here like her at all, what a waste, I hope Jim crissy and handy fix their friendship it’s so sad.
I will not watch love hip hope atlanta, enough is enough, I like the original and the cast, if it ain’t broke don’t try to fix it, sad
#TeamKhia all day how can you have a show in ATL and not have Khia she is drama and you know she has a mouth on her haha I would definitely watch it if khia is on it
REALLY!…..THE NEW LOVE & HOP HOP OF ATLANTA….THE CAST – I’M NOT WATCHING THIS CRAP! – YOU CAN ALREADY SEE WHAT IT’S GOING TO BE ALL ABOUT! THE ORIGINAL L&HH CAST (BUT, TOO MUCH FIGHTING) WAS ATLEAST A LITTLE BETTER THAN WHAT’S TO COME!
I’LL WATCH BEVERLY HILLS HOUSEWIVES(I DON’T WATCH THIS) BEFORE I EVEN WATCH HIP HOP ATLANTA…SERIOUSLY.
THIS IS JUST WHAT THE PUBLIC/MEDIA WANTS. WHY DO WE HAVE TO DEGRADE EACH OTHER IN SUCH A WAY! PEOPLE FORGOT ABOUT CLASS!!!
SOME BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO PROVE THE MEDIA WRONG…IS THIS ALL WE STAND FOR? IF YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE MONEY – MAKE IT WITH CLASS…COME ON NOW!
Its funny how y’all keep saying add Chilli, Monica and Joi… its love and HIPHOP not R&B…
Will be missing the orignal Love and Hip hop cast. The producers are really going to have to come with it.
#teamkhia
I hate when all the TV Shows and Tyler Perry Movies show Upper scale Blacks, Then you see the Real Blacks come out in Shows like this. Now this is some Real African Shit! The Black Cosbys PLEASE!! Thats all Bullshit!! there has never been Classy Black people that didn’t have some ghetto in them. Even Oprah got her GURRLLLL on! Keep keeping it real AMERICA LOVES TO LAUGH AT BLACKS BEING BLACK! TRYING TO ACT CLASSY AND BEING TRASHY ALA RHOATL. YOU GUYS ALL OWE IT TO YOUR ROLL MODELS. GREAT COMEDIES.
[...] now. I revealed early last month a few of the people who would be including in the cast (click HERE if you missed that), well while the cast of characters haven’t officially been announced, I [...]
[...] to StraightFromTheA.com, Atlanta-based rappers Diamond and Rasheeda are sure shots for the show, considering what they do [...]
Ill pass. This line up seems horrible. Not to mention i am sure I won’t get any fashion tips from this season; unless I wanna know about bad weaves and really unnatural hair colors – like kool-aid red and how to wear gold fronts. None of these women are eye candy and what could they really have to talk about? You’re still really only famous in your hood and I just don’t see the line up holding a captive audience and will probably not make it past one season. They need to go back to the drawing board with this horrible cast.
