Cast Changes? Rasheeda’s Hubby Kirk OUT – Diamond & Soulja Boy IN For Season 2 of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta [PHOTOS]

As shocking as it may seem, “As The HOOD Turns” aka Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta is proving to be the nation’s guilty pleasure.

The AJC reports that the show is a MONSTER hit for VH1, with last week’s episode accumulating over 3.5 million viewers.

While there hasn’t been an “official” announcement, it’s obvious that there WILL be a season 2 negotiated for the top rated show and word on the curb is that there will also be a few cast changes the next go round.

Yeah… I said it. Here’s the deal…

Rasheeda and her hubby Kirk Frost have been ride or die for each other for years but the stress and pressure of the show is slowing tearing their once strong relationship to shreds.

I heard several months ago that Kirk really wasn’t feeling the way he was being portrayed on the show and that he almost immediately regretted signing up.

That being said, Kirk will always continue to stand by his wife when it comes to her career goals and the pair would rather split up on air than in “real life,” so guess what that means?

Rasheeda stays and Kirk goes.

Kirk isn’t willing to play the reality show game so he’s stepping back in order to let Rasheeda shine.

I’m not sure exactly how it will play out onscreen, but however Mona decides to edit it, trust me when I tell you the couple is doing just fine.

Ok. Now…. here’s the real scoop!

I told y’all right before the season started about a few sudden cast changes ie Atlanta rapper Diamond abruptly quitting the show because the Lord told her to (click HERE if you missed that).

Well it appears that Miss. 32 Flavors had a change of heart and now she’s recruited her on again/off again sponsor boyfriend Soulja Boy to take part in the festivities.

While I’m sure Momma Dee is still fuming over Diamond’s treatment of her son, that’s of no consequence to either of the hip-hoppers who are probably looking forward getting to those LHHA checks!

I don’t know if you heard, but Soulja Boy recently hooked up with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson for a “Father/Son” mixtape.

[Sidebar: I’m almost positive the entrepreNegro in Fiddy gave SB a bit of solid advice: Follow the money!]

While’s he’s prolly much better off financially than Scrappy, Soulja Boy seems to have been struggling a bit as far as his rap career goes. So what’s easier than getting paid to hook back up with a chick he once referred to as “trash”?

Conveniently enough, Soulja Boy and Diamond made their “re-appearance” as a couple during the 2012 BET Awards last month and even spoke about their rumored new employer during a red carpet interview. Peep game…

When asked about how she felt about her name being used so much during the first episode of the popular hip-hop reality show, Diamond explained:

I wish everybody the best. I feel like only one person can judge me, and that?s God. That?s my past.

I?m in the future right now, and I wish everybody the best.

Soulja Boy also had a few words to say about the situation…

This is my baby, this is my girl…so anything said about her is basically they?re saying it about me ? I?m backin? her 100% and we?re just focusing on the positive.

Anybody talkin? about her name on TV, that?s just bringin? us up more. So salute to them, we wish them the best.

And by “we wish them the best,” the made for reality tv couple means “cut the check”! 😆

What do you think of these rumored cast changes?
