During my chat with the cast of VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop,” it was very clear that in this gang of four, there are cliques. There’s Chrissy and Olivia vs. Somaya Reece. And Emily B. in the neutral zone, but leaning towards the Chrissy and Olivia camp. In the show’s first episode (which aired tonite on VH1), Chrissy is suspicious of Somaya (an aspiring “rapper”) for visiting her boyfriend Jim Jones in the studio. Conveniently, the castmembers meet for the first time in a reality-tv ambush in the bathroom of Club Amnesia….Any surprise that things get catty?
I asked the girls about the first episode beef between Chrissy and Somaya, and what Chrissy thinks about Somaya now. But even though the first season has long stopped shooting….it’s Olivia and Somaya are keeping their beef alive, lol.
Me: “Why do you think I had to interview you and Somaya separately?”
Olivia: “You can’t put an artist with a non-artist in the same room….When the cameras go off, it’s something else…they call a certain person’s manager and they’re crying and apologizing, like, ‘this is not what they wanted, I just want to be friends’…but you went on the camera like you were DMX just now.”
Me: “Do you appreciate her role as a villain?”
Olivia: “Yeah, but the way that [Somaya] did it, was just retarded.”
