“All we doing is saying, ‘Are we getting Imani this weekend?” Scrappy said.
Erica retorted: “Here we go with the lies – why are you so angry?”Erica shows the host her cellphone, which says that Scrappy didn’t pay child support for June 2019.

It’s not a stretch to say that Atlanta is a music mecca slightly below the pedigree of Detroit’s Motown era. That’s just how hot Atlanta’s music scene is.
The reason for the heat is because of all the Atlanta artists that have charted not just in recent years, but over the past two decades!
Here are the Atlanta artists with new music
Now, there is a whole crop of new Atlanta artists with new music for the times. You can hear it on the streets, in the cars and in the clubs.
Lil Nas X
Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” is proving to be one of the greatest songs of all time. Not only is it the only song to ever go platinum while still #1, but the Atlanta artist continues to pump out remixes. Could Dolly Parton actually jump on the track?
Young Thug
Post Malone and Young Thug’s “Goodbyes” is a major mover on the Billboard charts.
Young Thug (again)
J. Cole, Young Thug and Travis Scott have a banger on their hands with “The London.” Could it have the makings of a summer anthem?
Mustard & Migos
If “Pure Water” is what they’re drinking nowadays, there’s no wonder Migos continues to be one of the hottest rap groups in the game.
Cardi B
Living in Atlanta now with her husband and new child, Cardi B is adding to Atlanta’s musical powers with “Press,” her latest single.
Summer Walker
Summer Walker and Drake’s “Girls Need Love” is still in heavy rotation for summer 2019!!’

One of the most intriguing and enduring plotlines in all of reality TV is the trials and tribulations of Kirk and Rasheeda Frost of “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta.”
In the span of a couple years, the couple have had to deal with fame, celebrity, infidelity and even a new baby outside of the marriage.
Kirk & Rasheeda: A Love & Hip Hop Atlanta timeline
Kirk and Rasheeda were pretty much like any other couple on “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” when they first appeared on the show.
Then one episode, things got interesting when Kirk started hanging out with Benzino. The next thing you know he was in a hot tub with a few women, one in particular who seemed to relish the attention.
This plotline played out for a whole season and even carried on into the next one, until there were more inklings of cheating from Kirk.
After hanging out with Yung Joc at a bar / club, a young woman claimed to be pregnant with his child. And that became the #1 plotline on #LHHATL.
“What happened at the lake? What do I need to know about?” Rasheeda asked him. “I was drunk,” Kirk responded.
“So you really think this was worth it?” Rasheeda said, herself wholly pregnant.
“Be gone!” she said. And things got to their worst point.
Here is how it all played out on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta:
In the midst of all this, baby Carter is born. Rasheeda’s newborn puts her in a mood to reconcile for the sake of her family.
But then Kirk goes and does a DNA test behind Rasheeda’s back.
“How dare you question my loyalty. I’m over Kirk,” she said. For Kirk’s part, he acknowledges that things have been a little cold at home.
After a while, Kirk knows that he has put his wife through a lot with all the Ashley Nicole drama. But he aims to make it up to her with a new store in Lenox Square mall.
But Kirk starts trippin’ again. This time, baby drama comes up when another girl says she’s pregnant with his baby.
Jasmine lets the cat out of the bag and the confrontation goes down with Yung Joc and Karlie Redd. Karlie then takes it upon herself to meet up with her.
“He moved her into ya’ll’s old building. She’s met Carter and she’s hung out with y’all’s family,” Karlie told Rasheeda.
Of course, Kirk denies it all.
The drama is thick! But then Rasheeda and Jazmine get to talk in the club. Jasmine told her: “I didn’t know what I was destroying … I’ll be the first to say that I wish I would have never did that.”
After the hurt feelings, subsided Kirk and Rasheeda decided to keep rocking. And the show got better.
For the new season, Rasheeda came clean with a shocker: She had cheated on Kirk.
The other castmates seem surprised by this, but Rasheeda lets them know that it was a one-time thing and that she and Kirk were good.
