Love & Hip Hop: Mama Jones Defends Beef With Yandy Smith And Olivia

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (7)

UPDATE-VH1’s Love & Hip Hop star Jim Jones’ mother, Mama Jones, recently called into New Orleans’ radio station Q93 and defended her recent twitter beefs with Yandy Smith and Olivia Longott.

Regarding her twitter beef with Love and Hip Hop co-star Olivia, Ms. Jones had this to say;

“I think she is rude….and maybe she thinks because she doesn’t have a relationship with her own mother that she can take it out on other people’s mothers.   But I’m not the one.”

She added, “She called me nasty…we are not the same age.   She needs to call me Miss Nancy or Miss Jones….And when I see her…..it’s a bad bad day.” If you recall Olivia ended the twitter rant with,

“I wanna respect my elders but 4some odd reason this old bag keeps f*ckin w/me & aint nobody thinkin bout u so suck my d*ck *Oliver voice*

Needless to say Mama Jones stated she and Olivia will never, ever be friends again. Regarding Yandy,

Jones says she was offended by Chrissy Lampkin and Yandy’s fight.   She says Yandy does “too much” and oversteps her boundaries as a manager.

As she put it, “Sit your ass down.”   But she says there is a chance they could “make up” in the future. Listen to the full audio 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.
