VH1 has a new “wives” show of non-wives to add to their line up, this time in the form of Hip Hop Wives and Girlfriends. The show, which premieres in March, will feature MaShonda (ex-wife of producer Swizz Beatz), stylist Emily B (girlfriend/baby moms to rapper Fabolous), Chrissy Lampkin (wife of rapper Jim Jones), Somaya Reece (ex-girlfriend of Joe Budden), and Olivia (R&B singer). According to Vibe Magazine:
The series will follow the women as they balance personal relationships and making it in the entertainment industry. Cameras will show Emily and Chrissy trying to lock their men down while Olivia and Somaya give viewers a look at what upcoming artists forgo to get ahead in the music game.
Check out the cast:
Emily B has been in a relationship with rapper Fabolous for 8 years. The two have a 2 year old son together
Chrissy has been reportedly married to Jim Jones since 2008
MaShonda married Swizz Beatz in 2004 and the two suffered a messy divorce in 2010
Somaya Reece is an artist that hooked up with Joe Budden shortly after his break up with model Tahiry. The two met through a mutual friend and although Joe wasn’t the normal type of guy that she normally would date, Somaya gave it a try. Months later the two were blasting each other on twitter and in youtube videos. Another messy break up :(
I can’t think of any other reason Olivia would be on this show unless she dated rapper 50 Cent while she was signed to G Unit. hmmm, but I don’t want to start any rumors so I guess we’ll have to just watch and see :)
The show premieres on VH1, Monday, March 21st
