The “Love & Hip Hop” franchise has nabbed some noteworthy hip-hop figures over the past few years, including Waka Flocka Flame and Lil Scrappy. Now, a new report claims that creator Mona Scott-Young has signed another popular rapper, Soulja Boy, to the franchise’s new “Hollywood” edition.
According to TheJasmineBrand.com, Scott-Young hinted to the site a week ago that she is close to revealing the cast for “Love & Hip Hop Hollywood,” the new West Coast edition of her “Love & Hip Hop” franchise.
“Not much longer believe it or not, it’s gonna pop up before you know it,” said Scott-Young.
Sources claim that Soulja Boy was recently spotted filming scenes in L.A. for the show.
It’s worth noting that Soulja Boy’s famous ex-girlfriend, rapper Diamond, was asked to join the original cast of “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta,” alongside her famous ex-boyfriend, Lil Scrappy. However, Diamond turned down the spot, explaining that the show would’ve hurt her image and brought more drama into her life because of Scrappy and his mother, Momma Dee.
But if Soulja Boy does sign on to “LHH Hollywood,” he’ll be doing double duty in the world of reality TV because he’s already been spotted in the previews alongside Diamond in the preview for her upcoming reality series “Sisterhood of Hip Hop.”
In any case, we’re excited to see Soulja Boy on TV come next TV season. – nicholas robinson
