![‘VERY BUSY’ NeNe Leakes Hangs With Supermodels, Shades Aging Beauty Queens & Preps for ‘Dancing With Stars’ Debut… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]](http://cdn.straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/NeNe-Leakes-Posing-With-Naomi-Campbell-520x520.jpg)
A few days ago, I revealed to you the cast of Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta and I made a prediction about who would probably be re-thinking their decision to participate.
I was correct as usual… 
Guess who has officially quit the cast amidst a ton of drama and who has been added as a replacement?
If you guessed Atlanta rapper Diamond aka Ms 32 Flavors, well you are correct!
Diamond has reportedly been shaking in her Old National flea market Louboutin’s every since her ex-boyfriend, rapper Lil Scrappy and his gangster mom has been added to the cast.
As I told you in my original post regarding to LHH Atlanta cast, Scrappy’s Mom has been on the warpath and has publicly said that she will beat the breaks off Diamond if she ever catches her.
I’m told by an insider in production that Diamond took a break in filming the other day and decided to head to the nearest bathroom to pray.
She came out a while later and told the staff that she quit, stating only that she’d ‘spoken to God’ and he told her that it was best to do so.
LHH Atlanta producer/creator Mona Scott Young is said to be highly pissed off at Diamond for leaving as she did and while they have already secured her replacement, word on the curb is that Diamond may face some legal challenges after signing a contract to appear this season.
On the flip side, while Diamond’s departure screws up Young’s vision of a ‘hot mess’ storyline between Diamond, Lil Scrappy, Scrappy’s baby Mama and his biological Mama (aka Mama D), her replacement on the show was very happy to get the phone call.
Enter K. Michelle…. she auditioned for the show early on and producers were not impressed.
Diamond’s decision to quit gives K. Michelle a 2nd chance for some much needed publicity but she almost seems conflicted in being supportive to Diamond but happy for her shot…
K. Michelle (real name Kimberly Michelle Pate) is a 25 year old singer/songwriter who is billed as R. Kelly protege’ and rumored to have once been dating (or simply “doing”) Mickey “MempHitz” Wright (aka Toya Wright‘s husband).
Memphitz was responsible for K. Michelle’s label deal with Jive Records, signing her to the label a few years ago through his Hitz Committee imprint.
Her claim to fame at the moment is being the only artist featured on R. Kelly’s latest album Love Letter (2010)… oh and her claims that Memphitz used to slap her around.
Toya has been rumored to be in talks to appear on The Real Housewives of Atlanta next season, but it’s looking like she should probably be on Love & Hip Hop Atlanta battling her exes ex.
So as it stands, the cast of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta includes the following people:
Rasheeda & Kirk Frost
Producer Stevie J, his Baby Mama “MiMi” and his artist
Lil Scrappy, Scrappy’s Baby Mama, Mama D
K. Michelle
For the record, I am soooooooo NOT impressed with the bulk of this cast…. 
Will you be watching Love & Hip Hop Atlanta?
FULL PHOTO GALLERY
Not feeling the cast either. Oh well. Here’s to Love & Hip Hop NY
I like K. Michelle. Im not sure if im interested enough to watch her. And I wasn’t looking forward to seeing Diamond. Honestly the only person I’m interested in seeing is Resheeda. But seriously, I would only watch cuz I’m a resident- I can leave this version so far
Mona Smith check must have finally cleared
at the check cashin store.I will be watchin ,if not just to determine who gave Scrappy the STD….hopefully that issue will be cleared up.
Where r the rappers???? ATL has so many Hip Hop artist but this is the best they could put on TV. This show will not b WINNING!!!!
If K. Michelle is 25 years old, I’m 19! I went to Famu the same time that she was there. That chick is 30! FYI
Right! I was at FAMU at the same time and we started together in 2000.
I love me some K Michelle she has real talent that bish can blow!
Isn’t Diamond on the DL and sexing up a particular male stripper in the ATL who once appeared on RHOA? They flirt on Twitter and FB and my sixth sense, as well as another gossip site who shall remain nameless, have linked these two. Wasn’t Scrappy’s mom angry that Diamond cheated on her son?
Oh well, just another tale from the hood.
girlllllll!…that was juicy
Who cares about this "GHETTO CAST"….I digress…LOL
Um…Harpo..is ANY of these damn ppl! Not nar one of them seem interesting.
where the hell is Kat Stacks? find her ass and you will find some foolery and interesting story line.<—just a suggesting,lol!
This version of Love and Hip Hop need to be on ALT public channel. Because nobody outside of the ATL know who any of these people are.
@ATLien can w get that new Phadra tea?
This Cast Ain’t Wroth A Shit…. I Want Tha Old Cast Back!
The cast line up for L&HH:ATL sounds like a snoozer!!! Why take a “simply sleep” when I could watch this bedtime story and be in a coma before the intro music was over!!! Sometimes you can’t have multiple franchises of a popular thing. You don’t see McDonald’s opening up just any ole place cuz folks like French fries!!!
ATL has more 2 offer. This cast sucks. Where r the male rappers? NOT SCRAPPY.
Very very off topic!! The net talking about Phaerda whatever her name is. They saying she was a criminal and used to represent all the people she used to hang with including her hubby now. I want to know is it True?? She does some shaky things on the show!!!
Diamond betta get her check she the only one really relevant right na lls I like rasheeda but she aint doin nothing…& who really wants to see bootleg spin off of mama jones I need to get on somebody show
This cast sux and is basically a list of has beens. Diamond would have been a step in the right direction, and I love Rasheeda to the heart, so ok.. but Scrappy and his mama? Stevie J that used to beat Eve? Where have they been all our lives?!
I am very proud of diamond. These reality shows are not worth it.
Can someone please help me understand why Scrappy’s mama all up in their business, especially when has not one, not two, but three STD’s.
I won’t be watching the show. Maybe Rasheeda should do a guest appearance on Family Hustle. Oh wait, Shatona might woop that azz if somebody try to come up in the mix of her threesome with Tip & Tiny….lamo
Once again, don’t know these ppl., not interested *snooze*
damn wish khia wud have made it. she is hilarious!
I for one am glad….I dont care for Diamond AT ALL and love me some K Michelle…her utube vids are hilarious.
[...] the show. In fact, Diamond actually started filming for the show, but recently quit. According to StraightFromTheA, “Scrappy’s Mom has been on the warpath and has publicly said that she will beat the breaks [...]
ATLien is Phaedra’s booty licker…she’s not going to blast her girl like she’d do Marlo…knowing ATLien she’ll write up a sarcastic write-up on how Phaedra is being hated on
I guess I’m wondering , how will everyone’s story tie into the other ? is there a common thread amongst them ? Didn’t Diamond need the income ? she should’ve just asked the producers to guarantee her safety and kept filming…they might need to make some adjustments with that cast to create a better storyline….
Diamond got fired she didnt go by the contract she knewed things about other cast that she wasnt supose to reveal like knowing joseilyn was born a man. She exposing people on the show before it aired. But if she was on there it would be Crazy…..
I WOULD HAVE REALLY LOVED TO SEE.. DIAMOND RASHEEDA NIVEA TOYA WRIGHT WAKA FLOCKA AND HIS MOTHER AND MS RICI AS THE CAST. THE CAST THAT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED ARE NOT AS DIVERSE AS OTHER HIP HOP ARTIST IN THE A. ALSO SHAWTY LO LIL JON OR EVEN GUCCI MANE WOUD HAVE BEEN GREAT CAST MEMEBERS FOR THE SHOW.
Stevie J is PHINE! And isnt Scrappy on the DL….Tales from the hood, indeed.
Who cares more uneducated black women acting stuck up and ghetto…..
K. Michelle is far from 25, but no it won’t be a good idea for her & Toya 2 be on the show together. Memphitz did more than slap her around, thats an understatement, I love K. Michelle she should stay away from this foolishness.
This cast is AWFUL
K. Michelle can sing – maybe this will help her career (but in a positive way).
Yeah, I’m going to have to hurry up and miss this bs!
Just one more reason why I watch old sitcoms from the 90′s.
I really hate when women turn their butts to the camera. Is that all you have to offer? I’ll pass. Everything that looks good is not good for you. Do women even realize that that thing stinks some times?
…..fuck some money, get some damn sense! Everything can’t be about a damn check. Diamond ain’t shit — she can’t rap worth a fuck.
Horrible cast. ATL certainly has to have more to offer than this. Pitiful. Bring back some real tv shows.
This is just another way to exploit decent black folks. Mona Scott with all your backing why in the world would you not endorse/support something decent to represent Black people. Honestly…a bunch of B-List rappers…give me a break. Why are we still tap dancing and being exploited by mainstream media. How embarrasing.
when you going to tell us about the tell all exposing your friend phaedra??? also kandi and lawrence falling out!
I thought Carmen Bryant was to appear also!!!???!!!??? What’s the story on this?
This show is going to be like a backyard Youtube video. Even though they are has beens. I really see this turning into country foolishness especially since they have men on this show as the cast. I really see street brawls, and shoot outs. Mona gone learn when her ass get caught up in that mess and stomped the hell out.
I would have loved to see real wives and girlfriends of real rappers on this show. Big Boi wife, Ludacris girlfriend, Diamond (i guess), an Atlanta producer anything but this ghetto ish.
That stuff with Diamond would have made for some good TV drama though but I’m glad she’s taking the high road. K. Michelle seems boring,eh, I hope Mona finds some better people. I know she’s trying to hurry up and get the season out but dang,pick some better people.

really wish diamond could have stayed but k michelle is ghetto fab and from the rumors, won’t mind bustin a cap or 2. i guess she will play the olivia role but with more talent and a backbone.
it’s like a car wreck…i can’t look away! – on another note, it’s funny how people cosign with God when it’s about something *they* wanna do…but what does one do when He wants them to do something that they *don’t* wanna do????
Funny you should say "Shes shaking in her flea market Louie’s". When you look like you can’t even afford a pair from a yard sell!
How do you audition for a reality show? Just asking.
WHY didnt Mona Scott add KHIA onto the cast????? she would have been PERFECT for the cast and she’s more entertaining than all those people on the official cast NOW. Its a shame, she would of had HIGH ratings if she put her on there…….
i heard stevie j is gonna give us enough drama for diamond to leave anyway…. LOL
#TEAMSTEVIEJ
I want to see jeezy bm, lil johns wife, diamond, tity boy baby mama and shawty lo gf on the show
[...] on the curb is that Nivea will be joining the not so impressive cast of Love & Hip Hop [...]
[...] I will congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Wright on their happy union and join them in shrugging off all the haters (who shall forever remain nameless on this [...]

I’m glad K. Michelle ended up on the show instead of Diamond. I also like Erica (who is so beautiful) and I know Erica would have gotten kicked off the show for beating Diamond which she deserved. A man is going to be a man, but it’s up to sisters to watch out for each other. If he (Lil Scrappy) came on to her, she should have said no and sent him home to his woman. Then called Erica and let her know what her man did. Women – we need to start watching each other backs and make these men stop dogging us.
