I revealed to you the cast list of Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta months ago (HERE) and updated you with changes to the cast, including who quit the show and the 2nd string replacement (HERE) but at the time of my posts, the casting of the show had not been truly finalized.
Now the “official” cast listing has been released, as well as the premiere date for the show and guess what? I was correct (as usual).
Not much has changed since my last post and most of the “A” is still scared to death of how Mona Scott Young will portray our city on the upcoming show.
I’ve even heard that a powerful Atlanta rapper who shall remain nameless since he’s still on probation, threatened to sabotage the production if Atlanta was shown in a less than favorable light (but you didn’t hear that from me).
So without further adieu, here’s the tea on the “OFFICIAL” cast of Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta…
The OFFICIAL cast list of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta is as follows:
Atlanta rapper Rasheeda joins the cast with her manager and husband Kirk Frost.
Rasheeda has been in the rap game for a while now and this show could possibly be her shot at mainstream stardom.
The talented female rapstress, who recently became a grandmother after Frost’s teen daughter (from a previous relationship) gave birth, has an 11 year old son with her husband.
These two have managed to stay pretty low-key as a couple thus far, and I’ve heard through the grapevine that Frost has some reservations about revealing their personal life to the world. But tapings already done and it’s probably too late to turn back now…
Grammy Award winning producer Stevie J. who has worked with Diddy, Jay-Z and is well known as rapper Eve’s ex boo joins the cast with his current girlfriend, MiMi Faust.
I have nothing on them. At all…
The unknown Latina rapper I spoke about in my original post is named “Joseline” (never heard of her? neither have I).
Rapper Lil Scrappy (formerly of DTP) joins the cast with his baby mother/girlfriend Erica Dixon and his mom, “Momma Dee”.
Scrappy and his mom’s addition to the cast is what scared Diamond off, which is a shame because she really needed this show.
As you know, Mama Dee once called Diamond a “Low Down Dirty B*tch” on Atlanta radio after she found out Diamond was running around town with Soulja Boy but unfortunately we won’t get to see her beat the breaks offa Diamond on film anytime soon.
Relatively unknown singer K Michelle joins the cast as Diamond’s 2nd string replacement.
I’d heard that producers of the show originally weren’t feeling K. Michelle but Diamond’s loss is clearly the ghetto singer’s gain.
Instead of thanking God for her big break, K. Michelle was feeling some kinda way she found out why she was blessed with the gig…

After reading my post, the gangster singer from the southeast decided to hit me up on twitter:
I was merely reporting the facts as I’d heard them and being that my “struggle blog” is my pride and joy… I was feelin’ some kinda way…
I gave her what she wanted with that unwarranted twitter beef cause it’s not like she hasn’t tried it with other bloggers in the past. But whatEV… I guess I was feeling charitable.
But I digress.
Trinidadian R&B singer Karlie Redd also joins the cast to add a bit of diversity to the otherwise ratchet selection of non-ATLiens.
Other than Rasheeda and Scrappy, I’m soooo not interested. But who knows… it may be just ghetto enough to watch.
According to the AJC, there will be 10 episodes. The original version, which has already aired two seasons since its debut in March, 2011, drew 2 to 3 million viewers per week in its original airing.
Will you be watching?
[Me? I'm gonna make an honest effort, but I can't make any promises]

I ♥ ‘Sheeda & Scrap…but doubt they are enough to make me watch this…best of luck to them…Speaking of ‘Sheeda anyone have link to her store?
@TiffanyK Rasheeda’s online store is: http://ImBossy.com
atlanta its hot lol.
so this is going to be basketball wives la.LOL
Sound like a bunch of hasbeens to me.
Im not watching and K.michelle is to stuck up. Thats why her Album will NEVER be released. I was rooting her in the beginning but after I found out she was dating R.kelly (They have since broken up) and she appeared on lukewarm last CD you could not tell her she did not rule the world. Aww hell maybe I’ll try to watch. I wanna see her get popped lol.
Who are these people, I hae never heard of them, they must not be known outside of Atlanta!!
No
aint nobody worried about this fake azz keyshia cole. she need to stfd, i wont be watching
Another show of pure black f*ckery!…smdh
Most of us tune in for entertainement purposes only, and if there isn’t enough drama on the show then Mona wasted her time evening filming in the city. If there is ratchetness on the show the ratings will be through the roof.
If this is an indication of K Michelle character then she must be the one bringing the drama.
ATL is a beautiful place with lots of successful people who know how to conduct themselves in public. That unfortunately can not be said for all. There are many "ratchet" looking folks and men who choose to wear their pants below their ass. So much so that you see billboards saying "pull your pants up". Plenty of weave patting women as well who proud of their hood and stripper like ways. I bet Mona will show more hood like mentality than business mentality, because drama sells. Expects fights and pettyness.
Atleast with NY I knew who Jim Jones was and could name on of his songs off the top of my head. Olivia had some fame as well. I can not say the same for Scrappy and Rasheda. No one I know is interested in watching them. With so much talent in ATL why pick these people.
Will NOT watch this show!
LMBO! K. Michelle cannot be serious! LMAO!
who are these people?
"Rasheeda has been in the rap game for a while now and this show could possibly be her shot at mainstream stardom".
Why do your think this show will help Rasheeda? It didn’t help Olivia, nor did it help Somaya. Even Jim Jones’ last record sales wasn’t improved by the show.
I personally think Rasheeda should hang it up. It’s embarrassing being the "up and coming" rapper when you are in your late 30s.
This show will be an utter F.L.O.P, and there is a simple reason, why.
These people have absolutely no draw! They are virtually unknowns, and they do not command ones’ attention.
As least with the New York franchise, people were eager to hear Mashonda spill some tea of A.Key and Swizz.
We also knew about Emily, but only as the neglected girlfriend of Fab. We wanted to hear about how she felt about him being "as single as a dollar bill". We also knew of Olivia, and we were ready for her to start taking shots at 50 and GUnit.
nope I wont be watching. Only person I know is Lil Scrappy.
Rasheeda is a freak from college park and I heard she was gay too. She need to hang that rap career up because she wack. PS she stole that husband from ha frend
Your blog ain’t struggling. Keep it up….I rely on this blog to help me make it throught the day.
LMAO @ ATLien you are fucking hilarious give her the status she needs. Anyway sounds crappy to be honest. I’ll watch though I watch just about any "WIVES" type shows.
Idk about this…
I say no, but I always end up watching it anyway.
Who are these people?
I’ll ride with Scrappy and his mama for the hood factor. I’ll roll with RaSheeda because she’s the "Georgia Peach" but these other heaux are tired ond OVAH!
K. Michelle? Really girl? Michelle (ATLien) is more relevant than your asss and I she can’t even sing!
That thing in that tired shiny catsuit tried to come for MY FAVORITE blogger? No ma’am you better not!
Girl you said Michelle is living in a cardboard box but you fucking and sucking for tracks and still can’t come up? I hate to tell you but you are losing boo.
I love Rasheeda.. I would like to see the GA Peach do what it do.. As long as they dont do any Kandi cameos.. but they may im sure.
Hmmmmmmmmm for a minute I was thinking that they had totally done away with the original cast and hired all new people. I see that they simply added a new ATL based show. Naturally it will be drama.. simply because most reality shows love the ratings that drama brings! They usually cast individuals who need the shine,and the money because there career is on a fast track to NOWHERE..Let’s be real.. how many has beens, and wanna be’s have used reality tv shows to jump start their way into mainstream success. I may watch, or may not.. like a ship wreck in motion can’t stand to watch but hate to look away!
Unless they pay me $10,000 per episode, I will so NOT be watching.
