The cast of "LAHH ATL" landed in New York to kick off the upcoming season of the show with cast favorites Stevie J, Joseline, Mimi Faust, K. Michelle and Erica Dixon in tow. See pics inside….
Joseline Hernandez…who showed up looking like she and Stevie just had a pimp-property conversation before they hopped out of the car…finally looked more lady like as she was on hand with her cast members to promote their show in NYC last night.
Mona Scott Young and her colorful cast of characters from season 2 of VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” attended a screening and press reception at Stage 48 in New York City last night. And TheYBF.com was on site to take in all the foolery that ensued.
Mona posed it up with Mimi and Erica (above).
She also posed with "LAHH" star Yandy Smith and K. Michelle (who’s rumored to be leaving the ATL and joining the NYC cast).
Joseline, who went on to become one of the show’s breakout stars if you want to call it that, showed off her assets.
Erica Dixon, in a sexy red dress, wasn’t wearing an engagement ring but she confirmed to TheYBF that she and Lil’ Scrappy are still engaged. Mona later revealed that legal issues (meaning his checks getting garnished by people he owes) kept Scrappy grounded in Atlanta.
Mimi Faust, who loves a good pop of color, also came to the press reception solo. There was a little buzz once again that she’s no longer with Nikko, the man she and K. Michelle argued about.
Yandy seemed to be in good spirits considering that she’s still going through some very troubling times with her baby’s father Mendeecees and all of his legal issues. Cute Louboutins though…
K. Foxx, who stars on Mona’s other VH1 series, "The Gossip Game" looked foxy in a cheetah print jacket.
Angela Yee, also of "The Gossip Game" and Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club, interviewed Emily B. No clue why she was there since she’s adamant about not being a part of LAHH. But maybe because she’s appearing on the upcoming season of "Chrissy & Mr. Jones."
TV/Radio personality Ed Lover, who hosted the classic hip hop show, "MTV Raps", asked the cast a few questions.
During one "touching" moment, Mimi and K. Michelle made up after their blow-up this summer.
As Mona fielded questions from the press, guests sipped on Myx Fusions moscato, Malibu Red and Ciroc.
“Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” premieres Monday, April 22 at 8pm ET/PT on VH1

TheYBF.com reported live from the scene were we spoke to Erica, Stevie, K. Michelle and Mona. Erica told us that Shay is still a thorn in her side and is constantly trying to get Scrappy leave his family. And she can’t stand women like Shay. K. Michelle told us she and Rasheeda don’t get along because Rasheeda is very close friends with the man she accused of beating her (Memphitz). Stevie J said Joseline left the party early because he paid MiMi a compliment! And Mona talked to us about her upcoming Bravo show "Taking Atlanta" which focuses on people trying to achieve their dreams. And she’s also working on a film called "The Promise Keeper."

“This is easily one the most important songs I have ever done because it provides Hip-Hop with a solution-based perspective meant to combat some of the problems we face as a culture. It’s honest, raw, and transparent. I’ve been friends with Raheem Devaughn for a long time, so to finally collaborate on a song feels great. When I played the record for him, he fell in love with it and instantly added his parts; which took the song to another level,” say’s the David Found His Slingshot author in a exclusive statement to Medium Creative Agency.
