‘Struggling Beards That Can Barely Connect’: Trina and ‘LHHMIA’ Cast Members Hit Back at Stevie J.’s ‘Bad Weaves’ Comment

It looks like Stevie J. is now in hot water with rap diva Trina and the rest of the “Love and Hip Hop: Miami” cast.

Stevie made some unflattering comments about the ladies of “LHHMIA” earlier this week. He attacked their appearances and urged them to retire their wigs and makeup. Although rapper Trick Daddy called the music producer out on his remarks, Trick’s cast mates had a few more words for their fellow VH1 stars.

Amid the taping for their “LHHMIA” reunion special, Trina arrived on camera with a long lace front wig and addressed Stevie J. in a video.

“Dear Stevie J., you and every other man that has something to say about women’s hair, cut it out,” Trina said. “We don’t talk about ya’ll nappy-ass hair, y’all struggling beards that can barely connect or nothing else you guys have going on.”

She continued, “When I look at ‘Love and Hip Hop: Miami,’ the cast, most of the women’s hair is laid, and we’re talking about mine. You will never catch my hair f–ked up. Always laid, always done by the best. Are you serious?”

Sukihana, a new addition to the show, said none of the viewers care about Stevie J. “no more since Joseline done left” him. Another one of the co-stars told him to “kiss” her “ass.”

On Tuesday, the father of six tweeted, “Good morning! Ladies retire those lace fronts from love n hip hop Miami!” A day later, Trick Daddy responded to Stevie and threatened to “slap” him.

The “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” actor later clarified what he meant, saying, “I said what I said earlier in hopes to get the attention of executives who is handling hair and makeup for our beautiful Latina and Black women. And men for that matter.”

Social media users have had mixed reactions to the ordeal.

“Hit dogs holla 😝 HE SAID WHAT HE TF HAD SAID 🤣🤣 He told know lies, but what he did forget to do is send that PSA out to every LHH show. It’s not all the females, but each season got some chicks on there who wigs be bogus makeup as well, but go off 🤣”

“A message from the baddest 🙌🏽 Trina always looks clasy and her hair is always on point”

“They mad 😂 if it wasn’t true why are you so mad. They are so bothered for nothing, fix your weaves and makeup. Simple! Stevie didn’t lie”

“He wasn’t lying tho …yeah after he said something it would be right now 😑🤣🤣#Thank Him”

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.
