LHHATL Gets First Trans Character

Lil Scrappy Talks About Doing A P-Check As LHHATL Adds Trans Cast Member

In case you missed it, Lil Scrappy has drawn the ire of some folks in the LGBT community this week after posting an Instagram video about doing a “p***y check” on some women who he jokes may just be men with wigs on.

His mother immediately distanced herself from his comments…

Interestingly enough, April 4th marks the return of “Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta” and as usual Vh1 is shaking things up by adding some new characters, including the first ever transgender cast member, D. Smith. Here’s the info via VH1:

D. Smith is a groundbreaking music producer who makes her debut as the first ever transgender female in the “Love & Hip Hop” franchise. This Miami-born, Brooklyn-bred Grammy Award-winning writer turned artist has worked with some of the hottest in the game, including Lil Wayne.

Smith’s defining moment came after being tapped by Lil Wayne to be a part of his most successful project to date “The Carter III,” which sold one million copies in its debut week, one of only three rap albums in history to ever achieve this feat. With her spitfire sidekick and aspiring singer Betty Idol by her side, this dynamic duo will take the Atlanta scene by storm.

You may or may not remember D.Smith from the VH1 special “Out In Hip-Hop”.
