We left the palm trees and sunny beaches of Miami to head back to Atlanta for a new season of Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta which is arguably the best show in the famed hip-hop-less reality show franchise. So let’s step into the moments from the season premiere that had the folks on Twitter sounding off.
The episode opens up with Karlie Redd, Rasheeda, Jessica Dime, Mimi and her new girlfriend WNBA player Ty and Sierra enjoying themselves at new cast member Spice’s show.Jessica is still glowing after her boyfriend Shawne Williams proposed to her and she happily accepted. Karlie is still old and miserable, Sierra is filing for divorce from Scooter, Mimi is happy in love again and relieved Joseline is gone but she has been replaced (we will talk about that later). Twitter made a very keen observation about Mimi though.

The focus is on Rasheeda though who is still in limbo when it comes to her struggling marriage to Kirk. She is not sure if Kirk is the father of Jasmine’s child but they still remain legally separated. From the looks of the timeline, people are absolutely over Kirk and Rasheeda’s storyline though and feel Rasheeda should just hurry up and kick Kirk to the curb already but figure she will probably take his sorry self right back.

We can’t argue with Twitter’s take on the Kirk and Rasheeda ongoing saga, we honestly are tired too.

Erica Mena has ended her retirement from reality television. We knew she couldn’t stay away for too long but we wouldn’t have guessed she would end up in Atlanta. Her entrance is just as ridiculous as you could imagine as she starts her LHHATL stint with her best Bow Wow challenge impression. Erica Mena promises she is changed woman now and she is in the A to “work on her music” career and she is greeted by producer Jazze Pha.
She starts off the wrong foot already by calling Atlanta the hip-hop mecca.
Word Erica?
Anyway, she wants Jazze Pha to help her become the star she always felt she is in her own mind. Jazze is a bit reluctant and rightfully so. Jazze puts her in boot camp but we know that it won’t help but we are here for this shit show regardless. Twitter wasn’t so happy to see the notorious drink thrower return and reminded her of a Tweet she has since deleted.

We hope Erica Mena is ready for the slander that will be coming her way every Monday.

Young Joc is no longer living in a tree house, he is now living in a boathouse. Maybe he decided on his new digs because the women he’s dealing with would be scared to get their hair wet or something.
Either way, this is the purest of struggles but it could be worse we suppose. It’s a small gathering of the ATL’s creeps Stevie J, Joc and Kirk but we also meet the newest male cast members songwriter Sean Garrett and Brooklyn implant BK Brasco. We are just gonna get right to what everyone just couldn’t look past and that’s Joc’s living arrangements.
Joc we hope your living arrangements improve as the season goes along seriously.

Now with Joseline gone, we need someone else to fill her shoes so Mona enlists Estelita. She is supposed to be the first lady of Stevie’s new struggle record label Danger Zone records which is basically Gwinin of Atlanta.
We get our first glimpse of what she brings in the form of musical talent it was an absolute mess. Not to mention her body just looks ridiculous in a bad way thanks to her “enhancements”.
Twitter immediately spotted the jig with Stevie’s new “artist” and called her out for what she is a fake Joseline clone.

We gotta deal with this mess for an entire season, hopefully, Joseline comes back to fix this.
CONTINUED
Kirk is sad cause he misses his wife Rasheeda who kicked him out after she found out about Jasmine.

He finally realizes in order to get his family back he has to come clean and admit that he is indeed the father of Jasmine’s child. He first admits to fathering the child to his boys on Young Joc’s houseboat and they immediately tell him he has to tell Rasheeda. He takes their advice and finally breaks the terrible news to his estranged wife and she isn’t receptive to it at all.
Rasheeda tells Kirk that he has to break the news that he cheated on Rasheeda and has another child with someone else to his kids. Twitter was shocked at all to learn that Kirk was indeed the father of Jasmine’s baby.
We spotted this jig since last season.
CONTINUED
The episode ends with Jasmine determined to talk to Rasheeda so they can discuss how her child can be a member of the family despite their differences. We didn’t get much out of this scene but the looks on everyone’s face especially Rasheeda’s mom Shirley once she walked through the door was absolutely priceless.
We can’t wait to see how this scene plays out next week.
