‘Go Be a Mother First’: Fans Trash Akbar V. After She Gets Into Heated Argument With Shekinah Over An Ex

It seems the tension between “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” stars Akbar V. and Shekinah Anderson continues to brew.

It was last reported that the VH1 cast mates allegedly got into a scuffle during the “LHHATL” reunion that was filmed last week. According to a now-deleted Instagram Live video posted by Akbar, she insinuated that her and Anderson’s beef had something to do with the hairstylist’s bestie Tiny Harris that stemmed from a few years ago, but according to this week’s “LHHATL” teaser for the next week’s episode, it seems there’s more to Anderson and Akbar’s beef.

In the teaser, Akbar V. revealed to viewers that she has a child by an old boyfriend of Anderson’s, which apparently created some friction between the two women. The aspiring rapper apparently still held some sort of resentment towards Anderson for supposedly interfering in her and her “baby daddy’s” relationship and decided to pop up at the hairstylist’s event shown in next week’s episode.

While at Anderson’s event, in front of a crowd, she asked a pending relationship question while shading Anderson right in front of her face.

“What happens when you meet a dude but his ex-girl be all on his nuts?” Akbar asked. “Because that’s what Shekinah did to me when we had an interaction with my baby daddy.”

Anderson replied, “I’ve always been a hoe.”

Things quickly escalated when Akbar accused Anderson of throwing sneak shots at her and called her a “punk b–ch.”

Fans were shocked to learn the supposed real reason behind their beef and had a mass of reactions.

“Akbar mad ass s–t😭😭 SHE NEEDS TO GOOOO, like seriously @monascottyoung don’t bring her back pleaseeeee 💯.”

“😂 Akbar got beef with shekinah over a nigga.”

“Akbar worrying about them drama she had with her baby daddy and doesn’t even have custody of her kids 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ girl go be a mother first kick this dumb b–ch off 😫.”

“Not the time nor the place I would of rather seen her do a grown woman sit down even tho your so pressed over a nigga 😩 smh.”

As for their alleged physical altercation at the taping of the show’s reunion, Anderson hasn’t spoken much about the debacle. Akbar, on the other hand, has been dropping cryptic messages, writing in one of her latest posts, “I’m understanding that every battle not meant for me to fight.”

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.
