Rocko Da Don aka Rodney Hill, Jr. has always been a favorite of mine. He and his ex-fiance (R&B diva Monica) have always been friends of the site, so I’ve always shown them both equal amounts of love.
[FLASHBACK! Old School Atlanta Memory – Rocko Da Don for Mayor of Atlanta? (VIDEO)]
A few years back, Rocko appeared alongside Mo on her BET reality show, “Still Standing,” but he really didn’t have much too much camera time.
Now the producer/rapper/entrepreneur is rumored to have joined the cast of the 2nd season of Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta as the cast of the popular VH1 reality series goes through transition.

Rocko posted the following photo online a few days ago, and it seems all signs point to “yes,” regarding talk of his joining the cast…
“SALUTE TO VH1 !!!!! #DAY1#REALITYSHOWFLOW #STAYTUNED #TURNUP“.
Atlanta’s UptownMagazine is also reporting the Rocko may have made that move to reality television, stating:
Speculation has it that Rocko has joined the show to promote his new studio album, which has gained momentum in the underground rap scene.
However, Monica is said to be against Rocko appearing in the show. She has allegedly offered to pay him an undisclosed amount of money to stop him from joining the cast.
That last part about Mo offering Rocko money is rather interesting.
I sincerely doubt that she’d want to block his success, but we all know that appearing on the show WOULD lead more people to dig into his background and I don’t know if that’s a particularly good thing.
Anywhoo… I told you weeks ago that LHHA creator/producer Mona Scott-Young was interviewing potentials for the new season, and they have been filming around town for weeks now.
While there’s no “official” word on who’s leaving the cast, my educated guess would be Karlie Redd and possibly Rasheeda & Kirk, since he really wasn’t feeling the way he was portrayed on the show.
[Sidebar: I doubt that “wassername” will be going anywhere anytime soon, being that she’s represented by Mona’s “Monami” management company.]
What do you think about Rocko joining Love & Hip Hop Atlanta?
What other ATL ‘hip-hoppers’ would be good additions to the Atlanta cast?

[…] Via SFTA […]
as long as my girl Joseline stays….she is my favorite!
they can take away, Rasheeda, Kirk, and Karlie Reed….
not really into joseline’s racist and homophobic twitter rants.
they might as well kick k michelle off if theyre not going to ever show her home life or real life…all she ever does is meet up with the other ladies to dish in quick segments.
I AGREE THEY CAN TAKE THOSE 3 OFF ESP RASHEEDA & KIRK. BORING!!! AND I HOPE THE SHOW EXPLAINS HOW ROCKO AND HIS BOY BIG L ARE RIDING IN DROP TOP PHANTOMS BUT AREN’T PUTTING OUT PLATINUM ANYTHING? THOSE ARE HALF MILLION DOLLAR CARS. IT SEEMS THEY ARE PRODUCING SOMETHING ELSE B/C IT SHO AIN’T HITS………JENNY JONES!!!
AND HOPEFULLY HE WILL TAKE THOSE SHADES OFF AND SMILE B/C HE ALWAYS HAS THIS LOOK ON HIS FACE LIKE HE JUST SMELLED SOMETHING WITH A REALLY BAD ODOR…….JENNY JONES!!!
I like Rocko!
I actually like rocko. I love that song steady. Rasheeda and Kirk can go. I can’t stand looking at those constipated faces he makes in pictures. She can go back to being the biggest underground Georgia prune.
Don’t do it Rocko!!!!!
Seeing as everyone in Atl knows his past I would say he should NOT be on the show. Monica I respect because she never talked bad about him. She always supports him and his artist & Wanda smith said she’s seen Monica bring the kids to shows and things but he is a known dog. And I don’t find it at all cute because he has sons watching not to mention we were all just starting to respect him as an artist. These reality shows have become pure coonery & this I don’t think will help him. Just make him look like more of a lowlife because it was speculation that he dogged Monica. I doubt Monica is trying to pay and stop him this looks bad on him not her .steady says a lot about his mentality. As a 27 year old woman always fighting for respect from men I’m not impressed
Dogged Mo?
I hope you are talking about the fact tha Rocko is allegedly on the DL. Him and Joshua aka Josaline ought to get along real nicely seeing as how they got and like the same things with their foul/nasty behinds.
Trust Mo is not thinking about that fool and damn sure aint giving up her new hubby’s money on some old dirt bag like Rocko. I don’t know what she ever saw in him but then again I don’t know what she saw in ole dude who blew his brains out in front of her.
Sistahs we got to choose better. Mo woke up and she’s alright now but still….what a road to travel.
Don’t forget she dated C Murder as well. Might be her pass that’s shady too… Just saying
If I was Monica I would make it very clear that he is not to say the name Monica at all and to not have their sons on camera as well. This is only to be about him and his so call music crap so leave it at that. Monica and Shannon are married and both are professional people building their brand as husband and wife so Monica needs to make it very clear to her baby daddy leave me out of your mess.
" wassername" still lol?? Wow I see we will never grow up lol anyway I’m sure Monica doesn’t want him to appear and spill the beans on how her beautiful union w/ Shannon began and the details of their relationship im almost positive she doesn’t want people to know about the details surrounding her sudden break up w/ him and he also said something pertaining to this on his gift 2 had mixtape #( don’t judge me I listen 2 all type of music)!! I love me some monica & her music though Lol@atlien there’s some tea on that as well ….Meme Rasheeda & Kirk can go not interested in their storyline what so ever…..
Its been 3 years Oct ’09 and Rocko knows alot of people in the business adore Monica and if he tried something like that he would live to regret it, believe my he knows better or he would findout.
I ment (believe me) not (believe my) lol
If he wants to go mainstream & get his name out there this could be a good start. The part about Monica is interesting ("SIPS")mmmmm well! I’m on the fence about Karlie cause she is messie , and you need messiness on a show like this. As for Rasheedah & Kirk the two of them screaaaam boooooring together.
There is "beef" between Rasheedah & K Michelle so, maybe that how she will cont’d to be on the show. They may introduce Rocko as a friend of Stevies or hip hop rap artist like Rasheedah.. Either way it will be intresting.
Thanks for the update!
Her sudden breakup with him was because there’s a chick on twitter named @missvibaby who OPENLY told Monica and the world while showing pics of her son that supposed to be by Rocko on twitter. Monica’s fans were saying he looks like Lil Rocko and he’s in between Monica’s kids. I think the baby made her say eat dust. Monica met Shannon at Love all over Me video and she released a very respectful statement about her break up with Rocko before she dropped everything to me which was prior to that (googles your friend lol) again though everybody that lives in Atl knows he was out of control. Now the tea he may spill is Monica fought strippers busted windows and all behind him. But one sight of Shannon she got over it. Rocko is arrogant and he’s like 4 11 lol and I heard he used to beat Monica but is that a shock he was arrested for hitting a girl in the club. This show is dumb it will bring all this back up. Makes him look desperate for fame #fail
Well….You dishin all kind of tea…lol I don’t know how true it is lol But, I really like Monica she’s one of my fav’s…and I hope this dude don’t get on here bringin her up. They have two beautiful kids together and he needs to show some respect to their mom. The End
I get the feeling if Mona is putting on the show…He gettin ready to act up. But, hopefully it’s over some other female or business.
Rocko seems to be a very selfish person only cocerned with him, remember he said in his statement about Monica moving on and him not having the time to be concerned with others because he’s more concerned with himself, I’m sure that was a very true statement. If it wasn’t for Monica he probably wouldn’t spend time with his sons we know he’s not spending time with the 6yr old he has with MissViBaby who lives in Florida on twitter she said he will regret it one day not being a father to their son, that boy favors him thank goodness he also favors his mother he’s a cuttie. People think just because he places pics on Instagram when he has his sons by Monica he’s a wonderful father. I would tell Monica and MissViBaby to take his ass to court to make sure their kids have money available to them, he acts and looks as if he isn’t used to anything and I bet he doesn’t do anything for the folks in any community in the ATL. Pure selfishness, I’m so sure Monica regrets the day she gave him the first chance not to mention a second and then to have not 1 but 2 kids by this fool. God looked out for Monica when he gave her a man that loves her completely and respects her as well. Everytime I see a pic of Rocko I just wonder WHY, but then Monica was weak at that time and she had low self esteem doing that time in her life and of course Monica didn’t offer him money not to do this ridiculous ghetto show, I feel so sorry for the children these people on this show have so lets just believe that’s a bad joke.
All of you can quit hating on Karlie. Its nothing but jealousy because she looks so good and better than females half her age (side eye to K.Michelle).
LOL…Yes…and she just all kinda messy…lol and a Cougar…chile…they would be stupid to get rid of Karlie.
By the way after she protected his ex drug dealing ass if he call himself exposing somebody he will need his ass whooped… Another note I love benzino he seems real. Stevie is the star but I think this show will get real interesting if diamond and souja boy come on. The story line is already there
Yes…I think as much as they said Diamonds name…she should be on the show. But, the Rocko person…it’s like whateva….I think they should keep Benzino…well don’t Stevie live with him? So, I’m sure he’ll be around. He should try to get his magazine exposed a little more…js
I like everyone that’s on the show already.
@Dalia exactly true facts I live in Atlanta but I’m from Chicago I like Monica but that wasn’t quite the way that story went with regards to how Shannon and Monica hooked up… Shannon dogged his bm put her out 10 days after meeting Monica and it’s so much other stuff that’s comes along with that. Monica and shannon had a platform so anything his bm said made her look crazy because she didn’t have that and it’s so much other stuff I can say about that …… You get what you choose Rocko had a girl when Monica started taking 2 him that’s a fact he blasted her on that and I’m well aware of missvibaby yes he dogged her no doubts but she’s not innocent by a long shoot Monica oozes class and she’s gorgeous but I’ve seen the other side an associate of mine wouldn’t give Rick the time of day but Monica stalked harassed and tried 2 dig all kinds bullcrap about her …. That didn’t stop me from liking her but I seen that other side lol and granted we as woman can tend to have that side but her behavior and demeanor was uncalled for in that situation it was quite ridiculous actually …
I don’t get the point of adding him to the cast. What is he going to do exactly??? I mean I like his music and all but is he bringing a girl or sumthin? How is he relevant to the dynamic of the show? So many questions…..
@AW Lol….you know…dudes probably want to ride on Stevie’s bus…lol Michelle what about the Che Mack girl…is she on the show too?
Che Mack is supposed to be on the show. She has been saying stuff like "next season", so she will probably have a small role as the new jumpoff turned Joseline’s best friend.
@dalia excuse my typos lol spell check gangsters don’t come for me please lol but I don’t think he will expose her I honestly think some stuff will come out that we may he shocked about though lol and I’m not knocking her for budding heads over her man she’s been quite honest about a lot of things and I can to some of her situations….
I doubt she is offering him money. But this damn show is not the Huxtables. I think at the end of the day she is worried about her kids and how their dad will be perceived on TV. They are not babies and are quite smart. Furthermore, lets be real he is know for being her baby daddy. Nothing more at all..so him saying he wants to push himself as an artist..rolls eyes.
I am not going to get into the BM stuff about Shannon b/c I know the real deal on that and no she was and is no innocent and they had been done since the playoff earlier that year in April etc. I know people from her MSU days and her Atlanta days and used to hang with her hard in LA. The chick pushed that story and people drank it up like water..and still uses Shannon Jr to mess with Shannon.But that is neither here nor there. Like someone said that is the past
Rocko has always wanted attention..so I am not surprised at this at all. If anything this tells me he will do anything to be "famous."
Well…I guess you have to get it while you can …Should I say ..if you can. The show is hot…so it’s not a bad look. Unless, Mona mess up the formula…:) I’m telling you it’s the people that were on there. When mess with that too much…it’s not gonna go well.
I like Karlie…I’m on the fence about Rasheeda and Kirk…especailly if what they said about him and his daughter is true…he need not come back.
Monica and Rocko broke up October/November 2009. Shannon and his baby mother had NOT been an actual couple since he was in college if people want to be technical. And they were NOT together when she became pregnant with his son. They were def not living together etc since April 2010. I will say this…Shannon loves that boy more than life itself.
And my opinion…I dont think Rocko should do the show..it is not going to help his album sales.
@jasmine I feel you but Monia herself has told about all the crazy things she did in love. What she doesn’t do is bash or make money off others. She never dogs Rocko or Sade who I also know because she was working as a waitress at MagicCity .se was Shannon’s cut buddy hardly a girlfriend. He didn’t put her out of anywhere she DOES NOT WORK. All she has is provided by him. And I really respect Shannon because when she lied he released a VERY mature statement and said Monica was the love of his life and he was unattached to anyone. It’s a small world and things are never what they seem. Sade Shannon’s bm makes herself look perry and dumb by commenting on every site when Mpnias mentioned or her tweeting about Monica’s album sales when Monica never even makes mention of her. The fake boobs and drastic hair cut shows Sade has her own issues and don’t let her leave out her many men friends in the A. She was just here. She my friend isn’t even from Chicago shes from Detroit and from what HER friend said she never even saw Shannon in the daytime until the bloodtest (which isn’t usually needed in a real relationship) said he was the daddy. Shannon dated draya and a few other women before he met Monica. In my opinion he met a mature woman who had openly been through t and he liked it. No one wife’s these chicks that will be gone as soon as they don’t have a big contract. This girl Sade was loose popping in a Lil Wayne video won’t get you wifed… Yes she was in one. I saw why Shannon never took her serious when she tweeted the pic of herself planking naked … No tears for her. She clearly is upset the old nut in me oooops I’m pregnant thing didn’t turn into marriage
How do y’all know all this? LMAO
But I do say..I think Monica is trying to protect her kids..we ALL know how they edit reality shows. ESP LHH
Well…he really don’t need to say Mo’s name. I’m sure he don’t like being referred to as her baby daddy….which is all he is to me. I don’t know his music or anything else about him.
Stebbie didn’t really bring up Eve…Scrappy lol said he knew who he was from Behind The Music with Eve…which tickled me. lol But, that was it. I’m thinking these guys are gonna have enough foolery going…without bringin up their x girls or x wives.
And people who know Sade from back in the day keep saying they’re gonna blast her. I wish they would so she would sit down and shut up cause they say she was SUPER LOOSE. Don’t try to ruin this woman name after 16 yrs of working hard because your plan didn’t work. And yes agreed Rocko is trying anything to be famous . Monica I too believe is real concerned about we kids in all this people who know her say she is a real mother and doesn’t do a lot because her focus has always been those boys. These poor babies will know about this show. So sad
I’m sorry but I like Rocko; who cares how much of a pig he really is. He makes hot music to me, and I’d like to get to know more about his sext tail lol
@ Dalia…you are very correct. My cousin used to frequent Magic City when she was a waitress there, and I have a friend who was a dancer there as well..she is well known in Atlanta and Detroit for who she is and what she is about. She was always plotting to get with an ball player..she had her eyes on him when he was in college. She just flooded (and sometimes still does) the blogs etc so she will look as the innocent one. No one is perfect but she is FAR from it. And no she doesnt work and lives off the child support. Just know his son is WELL taken care of.
But back to the case at hand. I think at the end of the day, Rocko will do what is best for him and his "career." Which is sad, because while I dont think he owes anything to Monica at least he owes it to his kids. While we might all sit back and laugh..NO ONE would be okay if their kids father willingly went on a show as this one. And I think it is more than just to promote..I think he needs the money and wants the attention that comes with being on reality TV.
@dalia I didn’t know all that about sade woah… And your right about her being treated that way if she did behave that way …. But he was with sade at the lakers parade right around the time he met monica she was also with him at espy awards as well sade may be all of that but he was with her at the time it’s a fact she tweeted moving
When see was moving out the whole nine he dated draya for Christ sakes groupie or not he impregnated her took care of her and she was living with that man I do agree w/ the fact about finding a man: woman that you love and it doesn’t take a longtime 2 know if you want to marry her or not and her found that in Monica but he still did her wrong that just how I feel he acknowledged the fact that they did live together and was at one point engaged …. Groupie or not he had a relationship with and look what some people are saying about her now proves my point she is up against Monica she didnt have a chance lol
Shannon did not date Draya. He said he does not know her and she said the same. Someone posted a pic of her and Chris Brown and said it was Shannon.
She brought her son to the parade he was 2 and all the moms brought their children because the guys have alot of press obligations on parade day. monica did NOT know shannon the parade was before the shoot. his son is now 4 as for Sade she was at the ESPY awards the year prior to him meeting Monica although SHE released the pic that year they met and she didn’t even walk carpet with him. Says a lot about her real role. Or lack there of one . She’s a mess and lives for moments like these. Trust that . Shannon has you tubes of him with his son but let’s just put it nicely he was never with her. Pull up his statement
I agree I hardly can find more than 1 pic of them together. Also Shannon was not engaged to her either. When Shannon was on twitter and flirting with Mo she had no issues. She started ish when they after. They were at the espys the year before but was not acting like he was with her. The year he met Mo he did not attend the espys.
Jasmine the TRUTH always has a chance. Sade hasn’t lived with Shannon PERIOD. That’s a fact … He takes care of her and his child which I commend and moved her out of a bad situation that’s more than some in his field do. Look at Chris bosh and that was his woman. But I’m not arguing just don’t like that she plays the victim when he was one of MANY nba players she tried to stick. Truth will come out because Sade will show her hand very soon because its obvious she hasn’t stopped with the games. Y’all be blessed headed out for dinner
1st Rocko shouldn’t even do that shit to Mo, realtalk he hurt her enough, Yeah Rocko cheated and all that dogged her whatever we as in woman been played, abused etc Monica is just like us who said celebrities don’t go through shit we go through Monica is real point blank period his ass wanna b on a show fuk it let him look more like a ass. Monica I’m so happy for u girl that ur happy with a good man I’m waiting on my moment as well cuz my kids father ain’t shit n I’m still with his ass 10 yrs n I’m not happy I’m 26 yrs old with a 2 yr and 7 month old and I can relate a lot to mo fuk Rocko and that bitch Shade
Who’s checking for this Rocko anyway? Word is he has always slept with strippers and hoes even while being with Monica. Monica went through alot with that ninja to bad she ignored everything placed in front of her believing he would change NOT! It’s in the past and Mo is married to fine, loving her completely Shannon Brown, I’m so glad she has moved on and I’m so sure Mo is as well, just stop tweeting him and supporting him unless you’re getting support(money) for your sons because he sure isn’t supporting your music, he said when NEWLIFE came out and I quote him "Support This" just showing the cover of Mo’s cd didn’t have the deluxe copy either, if anything the ninja should have said support @MonicaBrown’s NewLife deluxe cd great music, Rocko(ninja) is all about self.
This the best page on the whole damn blog. Look at all this tea just a spilling and spilling.
I am not mad at any of you. Let it be known!
Noooo. Karli was entertaining. Rocko reminds me of Stevie a little bit. I can’t wait for the show to return.
This is what I need to know….Is Mona Scott Young…husband whoopin her behind? did some man before him beat her up? what is with her and these sorry dudes that beat women? I’m sorry…she got issues. Why reward that type of behavior.
The people who saying Shannon dated Draya. That’s a lie. He said in several interviews he don’t know her and she said in interviews she don’t know him. The pic they posted saying it was him was Chris Brown. Damn you guys have no life.
As long as they cut the Georgia Prune and Captain Kirk, I don’t care who they bring in….
Monica isn’t going to be playing with her baby daddy when it comes to her name which is MonicaBrown and her sons, I’m so sure he has been warned, but if he could he would use her as he did in the beginning just because he can, Monica put your foot down and you should move to Arizona with your husband where ever Shannon is is where you should be he’s your husband period.
Aside from his ties to Monica, I have never heard of him. I wouldnt want the show antics tied to my good name if I were Monica. I hope is not going to be Stebbie J 2.0
wooo Yall just gave me a lot of tea. thank you all. I just love it. I come to this site just to read the comments. Cuz Atlien be a little stingy with the tea sometimes. I wouldn’t know who rocko was if he wasn’t monica’s baby daddy. didn’t know he made music. I thought he was a producer. honestly looked like a drug dealer to me but i digress. again thank you ladies and gentlemen. I appreciate your tea tremendously.
Monica lives in Arizona this year from what I was told. You don’t see her in Atl much anymore. Just because there’s no twitter announcement of it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. I understood her permanently moving there last year because Shannon was on a one year contract and they signed him for 2 years at like 14 mill (7 a year) so they moved there. Who would snatch and move their kids temporarily or for a year. This was all on Suns.com sounds like facts lol
I understand Rocko cheated on Monica. I understand he use to sell drugs so the rumor mill says, but he doesn’t speak ill of her. He isn’t in and out of jail on and off drugs or spreading children all over. Future is his artist. Rocko has real estate and is doing we’ll for himself always have. He never lived off Monica or begged her to put him on. I think people are going to see the real. Monica is talented but she has a sneaky way of spinning things in her favor. This show is not for kids imo so if I were her the boys wouldn’t watch it anyway.
ludacris aint letting nobody dog his cousin on tv
