On October 30th, Love and Hip Hop New York season 8 returns so get ready as we follow the lives of some of the veterans as well as meeting some new, fresh faces. Fan favorites and one of Hip-Hop’s most loved couples, Remy Ma and Papoose, are still going strong and will be back this season. Last season we watched as Remy and Papoose struggled through a heart breaking miscarriage. This season hopefully we get the chance to see them try again to grow their family.
What’s Love and Hip Hop New York without Rich Dollaz? Well, he’s back! DJ Self along with MariahLynn is still repping that Gwinin’ team. Yandy Smith-Harris will always be that hustler in the streets of New York and is still holding Mendeecees down as he continues to serve his sentence. Bianca Bonnie is still making music and hopefully not flirting with anyone’s man this season.
The Wire’s Snoop is back and on a quest to find love while she builds her record label, Gorgeous Gangsta Records. We cannot forget the Dominican mami Juju, successful author and Cam’ron’s lady who will also be on this season.
As for the newbies, DJ Self added a new lady to his roster, Dream Doll who has been on The Bad Girls Club. MariahLynn has a new boo named James R. Let’s hope she stays focused! Anais is a Dominican singer who will bring some Latin flair to this bunch. Her lawyer Navarro Gray will be on the show dealing with his girlfriend, Ashley Diaz, who isn’t too fond of Anais. Jonathan Fernandez, an image consultant, will be launching a cosmetic line and also showing his love off to Trent Crews, an R&B singer.
Lil Mo isn’t a newbie to the music game or reality TV world after being on R&B Divas but she will also be joining the cast of LHHNY alongside her boxer husband, Karl Dargan. And last but certainly not least, Safaree is coming home to New York! The bad mon was just in Hollywood making music with Chanel West Coast of Love and Hip Hop Hollywood and now he’s on the east coast. He’ll keep us entertained with his faces and that Jamaican accent.
Mona Scott Young has our hands full with this cast. Will you be tuning in on Oct 30th to the season premiere of LHHNY?
