Love & Hip Hop Season 4, Episode 5: Off the Record

“Love & Hip Hop” season 4, episode 5: “Off the Record” premieres tonight on VH1, where an argument over parenting turns physical as Saigon accuses Erica Jean of being a bad mother.

In this week’s episode, Rich and Yandy decide Amina’s fate as Yandy struggles to manage her career and fight for her man. Saigon and Erica Jean stand-off over their son,Lil B. Meanwhile, Cyn and Nya arrange a reunion while Peter finally takes a stand.

VH1′s summary of the show:

“When people think of the hip-hop life, they think of the players–the men who shape the music and the blinged-out lifestyle that comes with success. The fact is the hip-hop life is different for the women involved: the spouses, girlfriends or artists trying to define themselves in a world where men are still calling the shots. VH1′s new, eight-part docu-soap series Love & Hip Hop follows four dynamic women who are connected to the world of hip hop, whether it’s through the men they love, or their struggle to be heard as an artist. Love & Hip Hop provides a dramatic, funny and sometimes heartbreaking look into the female side of the New York hip-hop life as these four women try to claim their own place in it.”

“Love & Hip Hop” season 4, episode 5: “Off the Record” airs November 25, 8:00 p.m. EST on VH1. Check out the spoiler video below:

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
