‘This Is a Set Up’: ‘LHHH’ Fans Call BS on Moniece Slaughter’s Attempt to Reconcile With Apryl Jones After Heated Fight

It looks like “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” star Moniece Slaughter decided to quash her recent feud with Apryl Jones, although viewers aren’t quite buying it.

Over the past few months, Slaughter and Jones have been beefing over social media and on “LHHH” after the mother of one accused Jones of dating Lil Fizz, Slaughter’s ex-boyfriend and father of Jones’ child. The situation got even messier when fans realized Lil Fizz and Jones’ ex-boyfriend and father of her two children Omarion Grandberry are band mates in the boy group B2K.

Slaughter eventually confronted Jones about her alleged relationship with Lil Fizz, but their conversation quickly turned into an explosive confrontation, ending with the two women at each other’s necks. Fast-forward to the August 12 episode, and it seems Slaughter has had a change of heart.

During the series’ Monday night segment, the “Petty” singer decided to call a truce with Jones by inviting her on tour. The episode not only took fans by surprise, but it also shocked 32-year-old Jones.

“I put my whole tour together … And I think that you should go,” Slaughter said to her apparent frenemy.

A shocked Jones responded, “Girl we are crazy. … It just sounds crazy af. … Your whole situation on the Internet calling me a whole prostitute.”

Slaughter said her intention for inviting Jones on tour was to keep close tabs on her and Fizz’s son. She claimed the “Bump Bump Bump” rapper seemingly cut communication short between them, apparently putting a strain on her relationship with their child.

“LHHH” viewers questioned Slaughter’s unexpected decision to call a truce with her seemingly former foe. They claimed it was a “set up.”

“This a set up 😂 Moniece is crazy and I’m here for it, I think she got something up her sleeve”

“Keep your friends close but your enemies closer 😂🤷 I think she gone sneek April one time or something. I don’t trust it lol”

“Mo think she slick lol she only invited Apryl on tour to find out about her and Fizz. We get it girl 🤣.”

“Moniece was trying to move forward and keep the peace but I still think she’s up to something. They gone fight 🥊.”

After the episode aired, Slaughter took to Instagram and claimed she invited Jones on tour “in real life for no other reason than to get money.” She added, “Controversy sells.”

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.
