Love & Hip Hop is a media franchise that consists of several reality television series broadcast on VH1. The shows document the personal and professional lives of several hip hop and R&B musicians, performers, managers, and record producers residing in various metropolitan areas of the United States. The original franchise version, Love & Hip Hop: New York, premiered on March 6, 2011. Its success resulted in spin-offs based in Atlanta, Hollywood, and Miami.

The series is known for its sprawling ensemble cast, with over 200 cast members. Many are notable figures in hip hop, including Jim Jones, Remy Ma, Soulja Boy, Waka Flocka Flame, Lil Scrappy, Trina and Trick Daddy, as well as R&B artists like Ray J, Keyshia Cole and Stevie J. The franchise is also known for launching the careers of previously unknown artists, including Joseline Hernandez, K. Michelle and Cardi B.[1]

The franchise has generated controversy since its inception, and is often criticised for tending towards a narrative format more commonly seen in scripted genres such as soap operas, and appearing to fabricate much of its storyline. However, it is one of the highest rated unscripted franchises in cable television history,[2][3][4] and has been described as "riveting",[5] "addictive",[6] "bawdy and hilarious",[7] and a "guilty pleasure".[8][promotion?]

The show has aired continuously since May 15, 2014, with an incarnation of the franchise airing nearly every Monday on VH1. In the US, Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta usually airs in spring and through summer, followed by Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood in the fall and Love & Hip Hop: New York and Love & Hip Hop: Miami in the winter.

As of March 25, 2019, 355 original episodes of New York, Atlanta, Hollywood and Miami have aired over twenty-four seasons.

Proposed spin-offs

Since 2013, Mona Scott-Young has discussed expanding the franchise to other cities, such as Chicago,[55] New Orleans,[56] Detroit [57] and Houston.

On February 28, 2016, it was reported that potential spin-offs set in Miami and Houston were in pre-production and the producers were auditioning potential cast members.[58] However, Scott-Young denied reports of a spin-off being filmed in New Orleans, saying "I would love to do a show there but there is no Love & Hip Hop: New Orleans being cast or shot right now."[59][60] Love & Hip Hop: Houston was to feature Jhonni Blaze, Kirko Bangz, Kat St. John, Just Brittany, Nessacary, J. Prince Jr, Propain, the Sauce Twinz, the Charlo Brothers, DJ Eric, Lil' Keith, and Mehgan James as cast members. However, the show was put on hold indefinitely midway through filming in June 2016 due to concerns for the crew's safety, after several shoots were shut down by cast violence, as well as locals interrupting filming.[61] On July 7, 2017, Scott-Young said "Houston I love. We wanted to do Houston and we went into Houston to cast and we may go back to Houston." [62]

On September 23, 2014, Tammy Rivera and Waka Flocka Flame announced on social media that they would be leaving Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta to star in their own spin-off show Meet The Flockas.[63] However, the series never eventuated and Rivera returned to the main cast of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta in 2016. On October 11, 2017, Waka confirmed that Meet The Flockas was in production and would be produced by Mona Scott-Young.[64] Earlier on July 24, 2017, Safaree Samuels announced that he would be starring in his own spin-off Wild Safaree.[65] Neither spin-offs ever made it to air, and Waka and Tammy would instead go on to star in We TV's Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition, Waka & Tammy Tie The Knot and Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta.[66] On February 25, 2019, Solo Lucci announced that he would be starring in his own dating show spin-off I Love Lucci. The show is to be hosted by Ray J and produced by Mona Scott Young,[67] however it is unclear if it will be considered a part of the Love & Hip Hop franchise.
