See These Love & Hip Hop Stars Before Reality TV Fame
With Mona Scott-Young revamping the cast of Love & Hip Hop ATL this season, we thought we’d take a moment to look into the stars who’ve made a come up (or come back) from the VH1 series.
Mimi Faust
Mimi’s Love & Hip Hop stardom sprouted as the broken baby mama of Stevie J. Not long after, she gained a huge following (and paycheck) for her sex tape scandal with ex-lover Nikko Freako. Prior to the show, you’ll never guess what major music video we found her in…
Lil Scrappy
Now he’s best known for his inability to stay faithful to baby mama, Erica Dixon and ex-madame mother, Mama Dee.
We haven’t heard a certified hit from Scrappy in almost 10 years. But don’t forget he was a Down South success story back in the day. He’s known for chart making tracks like “Money In The Bank,” “Head Bussa” and “No Problem.”
Joseline Hernandez
Whether you hate her or love her, the Puerto Rican Princess is undoubtedly the star of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta. The stripper turned Latina-rapper took over the show with her outspoken personality in season one. Now she’s best known as the side piece turned wifey to special sauce slanger Stevie J. Flip to see Joseline before reality TV stardom.
Joseline has never denied that she had a very rough past life. During her time as an exotic dancer, she went by the name of Shenellica Bettencourt.

Karlie Redd
Karlie has had numerous failed attempts at an entertainment career, but she finally gained majority popularity after being casted for LHH ATL. Flip the script to see her throwbacks
Karlie’s cakes were poppin! Even if her acting career wasn’t…
Young Joc
When we think of Yung Joc now, we think of baby mamas and his messy failed relationships but there was a time when music was actually in the forefront of his career.
Joc was actually had some “snap” hits back in the day, particularly the 2007 Grammy nominated song “It’s Going Down”. But unfortunately, his career went down with it shortly after.
Vh1 star Stevie J hasn’t hesitated to remind Love & Hip Hop viewers that he has a long track record of hits. Flip on over to see what major artists he hung with back in the day.

We don’t hear much about Stevie’s music now days (well… except for the Puerto Rican Princess) but here he is sharing a pic with Diddy.

Rasheeda
Rasheeda’s rap career might’ve dwindled prematurely but she actually had some decent down south tracks back in the day.
Kalenna Harper
Love & Hip Hop fans were shading VH1’s addition of songstress, Kalenna Harper last season for being a bore. A large majority of fans didn’t understand Kalenna’s role on the show or where she came from. Welp, for those are you who couldn’t remember her music career… flip over for a reminder.
Remember Diddy’s group Dirty Money? Yep. That’s Kalenna and Dawn Richards with the Bad Boy himself.
