While Joseline Hernandez is writhing for rolling out’s art director, there’s a muscled man in the room keeping a watchful eye. Stevie J is present and monitoring the shoot like a father trying not to hover. While Hernandez is channeling her inner diva in front of a wind machine, Stevie is nodding his head and letting out a few approving grunts and groans from the far corner. J’s parental behavior is fitting considering that the breakout ”Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” star has nicknamed him ”daddy.” And while Hernandez looks ethereal in white, she makes it a point to dance for the ”daddy” she says ultimately changed her life.
Story by Terry Shropshire Images by DeWayne Rogers Traci Steele and DJ Babey Drew have a reality show within a reality show that is the ultrapopular “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta.” Their relationship, even though they’ve been broken up for seven years, resembles the weather in the Caribbean islands they are from. It can be beautiful and calm one moment, but then it can quickly mutate into a Category 5 hurricane the next. And they are comfortable existing and thriving within that frenetic space. Heck, she brags that she almost shot him one time and actually did stab his tires. And he has no problem talking the number of women he has been involved with or “popcorn microwavable b—–,” as she likes to refer to his subsequent girlfriends. The two renowned DJs have added a lot of flavor to one of the most popular and addictive reality shows on television that was already overflowing with outsized and volatile personalities. First of all, listening to them is like sitting in on a tennis match. Your head and eyes constantly jerk back and forth because of their propensity for darting in out of each other’s conversations, finishing each other’s sentences, cutting each other off, and volleying insults and compliments with equal aplomb back and forth to each other. They constantly intercept one another’s thoughts and take it in the opposite direction. You would need a compass and a map to try to figure out where they are going to take the next question. Even if you didn’t know the couple, it wouldn’t take long to figure out that the pair, despite their defunct relationship that produced a 7-year-old son, remain so close that they practically breathe the same air. So when rolling out sat down for an interview with DJ BabeyDrew and DJ Traci Steele, we knew from the jump that this was not going to be a normal interview. But then again, Steele and Drew are not your ordinary pair. So strap yourselves in and try to keep up,
Understand this about ”Mistresses” star Rochelle Aytes: She is not scared. When you inventory her thick résumé of TV and movie roles, you will quickly realize that Aytes has played the entire spectrum of roles during her illustrious career. The Harlem, N.Y., native has a versatility to her game that’s enabled her to tackle everything from playing an abused girlfriend (Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Family Reunion) to a reporter (White Chicks) to a police officer (“Forgotten”), to a prosecutor (“Detroit 1-8-7”) to a record executive (“Crazy Sexy Cool”) to a confused girlfriend (“Desperate Housewives”) and everything in between.

What you see is what you get. At least, that was the overwhelming sentiment in the aftermath of rolling out’s exclusive photo shoot and interview with Angela Simmons. Poised beyond her years, Simmons walked into our Manhattan photo studio, and immediately made herself at home, both literally and emotionally, with the staff. She kicked off her shoes, popped open her laptop, vibed to our Pandora playlist, and cracked jokes like we had all been friends for years.

Let’s face it; society is a trip. For all of our protestations that we are a peaceful, loving and accepting people, the truth remains that nothing gets us going more than a little bit of drama and intrigue. We live for it — though we vehemently deny it — which is why news outlets and media companies incessantly search for the juiciest storyline.
