    One of the most enduring storylines in all of “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta,” has been that of Mimi Faust and Stevie J. This season, Mimi is trying to make a relationship work with Ty, a WNBA basketball player.

    But somehow Stevie J always finds a way into the conversation. This time, it’s about a post on IG featuring Ty and Mimi and Stevie’s daughter Eva.

    On the post, Stevie replied: “Y’all should adopt.” Of course, the comment didn’t go over well at all.

    Ty said that she will not let Stevie get under her skin at all: “She’s not getting under my skin because i’m going to call his a– out. You don’t pay child support, you don’t call and check on your daughter…”

    Mimi said that Ty is being drawn into his drama because she feels a type of way.

    “If your baby father is going to keep trying to interfere with our relationship, I don’t know If I can keep doing this,” Ty said.

    I won’t say Ty gave Mimi an ultimatum, but she did say: “I’m not trying to deal with this the rest of my life.”

    Watch Ty lay it all on the line for Mimi

    So guess what happened? Mimi paid Stevie J a visit.
