‘GTFO!’: ‘LHHH’ Fans Blast Apryl Jones and Her Mother After They Claimed Lil Fizz Was Her ‘Savior’

It seems “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” viewers are still confused about where Apryl Jones stands with Lil Fizz.

To backtrack, “LHHH” star Moniece Slaughter, the mother of Lil Fizz’s 9-year-old son, claimed the “Bump Bump Bump” rapper and Jones were dating and moved in their first place together. The reason it’s apparently an issue is because Jones is the ex-girlfriend of Fizz’s B2K band mate Omarion Grandberry, whom she shares two children with.

Jones and Fizz, however, denied having a relationship and claimed they’re just best friends, although past photos showed a moment of the pair lying in bed together.

During Monday night’s episode, Fizz and Jones sat down with her mother and their loved ones to discuss the details of their friendship.

“What she’s been through is a lot,” said Fizz. “The s–t that’s happening ain’t right, it’s wrong. I ain’t gon’ go into detail.”

Jones mother, Tati, broke down in tears and thanked Fizz for being there for her daughter after her nasty break-up with Omarion.

“That’s why I text you once in a while and say I really appreciate you, I’m thankful,” Tati told Fizz. “I almost like quit my job to run over there and help her out. That’s how bad it was.”

A tearful Jones also chimed in and added, “I don’t think people really understand he really has been my saving grace.”

“LHHH” viewers, however, were thrown off by the emotional scene and felt it was scripted. Others slammed Fizz for supposedly helping Jones through her hard time but treating Slaughter “like crap.”

“GTFO all of them faking that s–t! So you mean to tell me you and Apryl ain’t smashing but her mom calling you her savior? Brah this was weird to watch 😂 bad acting”

“Smh okay girl 😂😂 whatever u say.. She needs to help us understand cause I really don’t understand 😂 the whole situation is above me at this point.”

“He’s so thoughtful kind helpful supportive of April who’s nothing but disrespects his baby mama Moniece like it’s nothing & she the mother of his Son ! 😒🤦🏽‍♀️ Bye lil fizzle pop”

“I can’t! 🤦🏽‍♀️ i don’t take nobody serious !! Not Apryl, not her mom or Fizz. They wrong af to do that to O and Moniece. I said it 🗣️!”

The ABS Newsletter — Stories that matter, in your inbox.

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.
