Reality TV Recap: Love and Hip Hop Atlanta (Season 4, Episode 1)

As you know last night marked the season 4 premiere of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta and the show started off with a bang! Stevie J and Mimi come together, as business partners, to start a management company. One of the artist’s Mimi is interested in is Lil Kim’s artist Tiffany Foxx and as Foxx tries to win over the hearts of the new management team, they’re too busy discussing Joseline and her recent absence. According to Stevie J she’s taking a break to get herself together. After her blow up at the reunion show it may be necessary. Either way, hurry up back Puerto Rican Princess, we need you!!

Speaking of Joseline, Karlie Redd and Dawn head to Miami’s King of Diamonds, Joseline’s former place of employment, to see a stripper by the name of Jessica Dime Piece partake in her last dance before retiring. Jessica Dime Piece and Shanellica Bettencourt (Joseline’s real name) used to be good friends and make ALL the money in King of Diamonds. Dawn updates Dime on Joseline, telling her that she is crazy and definitely on drugs. Dime piece seemed quite surprised but we’ll have to see as the season continues.

Scrappy, Bambi and Erica Dixon come out to support Momma Dee as she performs her single “I Deserve” but they didn’t come together. Scrappy and Erica aren’t quite getting along. It seems that Scrappy hasn’t been pulling his weight financially when it comes to their daughter and has fallen $50,000 behind on child support. Momma Dee blames his girlfriend Bambi for it all and is determined to get to the bottom of it. Speaking of Momma Dee, you’ll be happy to know that later  in the season, we’ll see her get an engagement ring, unfortunately not in the manner that she thought she deserved.

We meet Nikko’s wife Margeaux (Margo) Simms and Nikko  confesses to her that he and MiMi planned the infamous shower rod sextape. Margeaux opens up about she and Nikko being married for 7 years and how they had an open relationship but he never told her about Mimi or the tape. Nikko assures Margeaux that he and Mimi are through and it  seems like the two are trying to work on their relationship.

Nikko may be done with Mimi personally but not on a business level. While Mimi is having a photoshoot to promote her new book, Nikko shows up asking for his 25% of her earnings. You see, Mimi says she entered a contract with Nikko but she wasn’t exactly under her right mind. She lets him know that he definitely won’t be making any more money off of her and even runs to Stevie J to let him know that Nikko is on her heels again. As usual, Stevie J runs to Mimi’s rescue and confronts Nikko….which apparently leads to ANOTHER scuffle between the two.

It looks like it’s about to get real this season. Tune into Love & Hip Hop Atlanta every Monday night at 8pm on VH1.
