‘LHHATL’ Stars Moniece Slaughter and Scrapp DeLeon’s New Relationship Leaves Twitter Flabbergasted: ‘Huh?’

It seems a new romance has formed between “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” stars Moniece Slaughter and Scrapp DeLeon, leaving fans at a loss for words.

It was speculated earlier this year that Slaughter, who starred on the “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” franchise, would be making her way to the ATL with DeLeon as her love interest. Well, the rumors turned out to be true, and the pair appear to be an item on the show.

During the second episode of the VH1 series, Slaughter revealed to her cast mates that there was a new guy in her life that she’s been talking to, mentioning that she was “technically still single.” The new man in the singer’s life happened to be Tommie Lee‘s ex-flame, DeLeon, who said he was introduced to Slaughter by his mother Karen “KK” King via phone while he was in prison.

The pair apparently communicated via phone until he was released to a halfway house. Scrapp indicated that he and Slaughter have a special “bond,” while the “Petty” singer said she’s actually entertained having a deeper relationship with DeLeon. Viewers witnessed Slaughter make her way on DeLeon’s lap and kissing him with pecks on the lips as they seemingly made their way upstairs to his bedroom. 

Last year, Slaughter sparked fans’ curiosity after posting a cryptic photo of herself holding hands with a mystery man. That unknown specimen at the time turned out to be DeLeon.

The pair’s romance threw the “LHHATL” audience for a loop, drawing mixed reactions.

“That man don’t know what he wants right now all he do know is that he needed some ass he fresh out lol😂!”

“Huh? Umm issa NO 🤣 I thought he was trying to get away from crazy I would rather him be with Tiara his baby mama not Moniece smh.”

“They cute together. Let them have each other. Shes a mess too and he loves crazy 🤷🏾.”

“They relationship ain’t real. Moniece just show hopping for checks like Safaree 😉.”

“I kinda like this thing going on between them theyre cute 😛😛.”

“He community penis sis leave em where u found him in jail 🙄.”

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.
