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.

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,

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.
