Mariah Lynn Puts ‘Romance’ With Rich Dollaz on Front Street During ‘LHHNY’ Reunion, Reveals Past Pregnancy

Folks anticipated the talked about drama in season 9’s “Love and Hip Hop: New York” reunion show, and it did not disappoint.

All sorts of tea was spilled during the VH1 special, including extremely personal and intimate details about Mariah Lynn and Rich Dollaz‘s relationship that seemingly no one knew about.

During the “LHHNY” reunion special, which aired on March 11, Lynn let all the cats out of the bag when she was asked by host Nina Parker to clear up the rumors about her and Dollaz’s romance.

The “Once Upon a Time” rapper revealed she and the music executive have had an on-again-off-again relationship for the past eight years. She claimed that she and Dollaz were at a point in their relationship where they were talking about having children despite her revealing in season 1 that she aborted their child.

Lynn dropped a bomb, saying that after Dollaz’s diabetes diagnosis a few years ago he decided to have a vasectomy, which put their plans to start a family together on the back burner. However, the female rap artist said her “love” is considering a procedure to reverse his vasectomy so they can start their family. She added, “I love Rich very much. I am very much in love with him.”

Stunned like the rest of the audience and viewers, Dollaz sat there speechless while Lynn continue spilling the details of their alleged affair. As the “LHHNY” host and Lynn both turned to the music exec for reassurance, he addressed Lynn specifically, telling her he didn’t “appreciate” her talking about his personal life. He also exited the stage set minutes later, leaving her feeling “embarrassed.”

Lynn eventually followed Dollaz backstage, asking him to “say something” while breaking down in tears. The music executive returned to the stage while Lynn stormed into the dressing room crying. When back on stage told his cast mates and viewers that he and Lynn would work things out when they get home, be he never reciprocated Lynn’s declarations of affection or confirmed if they were together or not.

“LHHNY” viewers, on the other hand, had a lot to say about Lynn and Dollaz’s situation.

“Maybe she did catch him off guard but damn, he just not gone say nothing? I definitely don’t think she lying either.”

“This is one of the worst situations to be in 🤦🏾‍♀️.. begging a man to have your back is pitiful smh.”

“I felt embarrassed for Mariah tbh 😭she really loves Rich wow.”

“She was wrong for putting his medical business (NOT THE DIABETES!!!!, THE VASECTOMY, THE REVERSAL OF IT, HER BEING PREGNANT BEFORE AND THEM TRYING AGAIN) out there. He was probably embarrassed. BUT why continue to claim a man that never claims you?! And you have to BEG him to have your back🤦🏾‍♀️.”

“Rich was like “This bi+ch done told the world I’m shooting blanks!” #faceonthefloor pick it up pick it up pick it up 🤣.”

Still independent.

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.
