‘Finally!’: Chrissy Lampkin and Kimbella Sit Face-to-Face in ‘LHHNY’ Trailer, and Fans Lose It

A snippet of the “Love and Hip Hop: New York” trailer dropped this week for the upcoming season, and fans are already anticipating the drama.

Many of the show’s original cast mates returned for season 10, including rapper Jim Jones and his fiancée Chrissy Lampkin. Lampkin, who’s known for her straightforward and hot-tempered personality, will come face-to-face with her foe Kimbella Vanderhee, apparently for the first time since their explosive fight that happened on “LHHNY” in 2011.

For those unfamiliar with Lampkin and Vanderhee’s history, the two ladies got into a huge brawl on national television during season 2 after Vanderhee told Emily B., who was pregnant at the time, that she’d slept with Emily’s boyfriend, rapper Fabolous. Since Emily was unable or unwilling to issue a violent response at the time, Lampkin went off on Vanderhee and sucker punched her to the ground.

Fast-forward to the new season, and it looks like Lampkin and Vanderhee may be ready to place their long-standing feud behind them.

The 30-second trailer of the two archenemies’ sit-down was more than enough to incite excitement among “LHHNY” viewers.

“The OG is coming back!!!!! Finally!!!!! You better stay out of her way 😂😂😂, I believe still the meanest punch in Reality TV history belongs to Chrissy. ‘Don’t beat me up!😂'”

“Chrissyyyyyy is backkkkkk bitchessss 😂 I can’t wait now this i wanna see I’m ready🙌 I hope she slap up Kimbella one more time!”

“I hope Crissy and Kim put they beef aside they were hella young then I wanna see them makeup nd be friends 😁”

The lineup for the 10th season of “LHHNY” includes Lampkin, Jones, Vanderhee, Yandy Smith-Harris, Remy Ma and her husband Papoose, Joe Budden and ex-fiancée Cyn Santana, Erica Mena and her husband Safaree Samuels, Tahiry Jose and a few others.

In September, amid filming for season 10, TMZ reported that tensions on the set were running high and claimed that viewers can more than likely expect a “throwdown” between a few cast mates on the show this season.

“LHHNY” returns to VH1 Dec. 16.

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.
