Rasheeda Frost’s Recent Photo with Kirk’s Love Child Draws Mixed Reactions: ‘Wow Much Respect’

Rasheeda Frost is causing quite a stir on social media.

The season 8 premiere of “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” aired on Monday, and viewers were left conflicted after Frost met 2-year-old Kannon for the first time, her husband Kirk Frost‘s love child with ex-stripper Jasmine Washington during season 6 of the series.

Last season, Kirk met his son for the first time after Washington’s paternity test revealed he was indeed the father. Although Rasheeda eventually forgave her husband for fathering a child outside of their marriage, she still couldn’t bring herself to meet her husband’s toddler. But it seems the Pressed boutique owner has moved passed that obstacle.

She took to Instagram on Monday evening after the “LHHATL” season premiere aired with a photo of herself, her and Kirk’s 5-year-old son Karter Frost, and the D-Lo manager’s son Kannon sprawled on bed together. Rasheeda appeared to be tickling her stepson as her husband apparently snapped a photo of the sweet moment.

“#Rp @frost117 Kids have so much energy 🙏🏽💪🏾…… these 2 are a handful,” the 36-year-old captioned the image on Instagram.

Her post triggered a stream of reactions from fans who both blasted her for accepting her husband’s affair and love child and others who commended her for being a “great” stepmother.

“Love seeing this. You are an amazing woman, mother and and step mom ❤️❤️😍.”

“She’s a special type of dumb 🤦🏽‍♀️ u are differently making it to heaven tho 😂.”

“Takes a real one with a whole lotta love a ND heart for this ..can’t say u ain’t real one 💯. Real woman take notes ❤️.”

“This gotta be all for show cause ain’t no way somebody that dumb 🤷🏽‍♀️.”

“It’s good to see you interacting with his other child. #1 Mom of 🌎.”

Rasheeda’s initial meeting with her stepson appeared awkward as the 2-year-old seemingly refused to make eye contact with her. When she tried to talk to Kannon by playing with his phone, the little one replied “stop it,” but he seems to have eventually warmed up to his stepmom, based on their family photo.

Since the airing of last night’s episode, Kirk’s mistress Washington has blasted Kirk and Rasheeda for only filming with her son seemingly for the purpose of television.

She wrote on her Instagram Story on March 26, “Right after that scene, I asked what time they could drop him back off.” She added that Kirk “hasn’t been over there since before Xmas. They live right around the corner from me.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
