Things are not going so well between the stars of reality TV series "Love and Hiphop: Atlanta." Reports revealed that tension is building up between co-stars Benzino and Stevie J.
According to Christian Post, rumors suggested that Stevie J wants to kick Benzino out of the show for good. Allegedly, Stevie J and wife Joseline Hernandez influenced the show's producers to do so.
"I gave real blood sweat and tears to the success of #LHHATL and want to continue to be part of the show, but it seems like alliances are being formed against me and baebae, I guess we will have to see," posted Benzino on his Instagram, but deleted it later on.
Meanwhile, Benzino and fiancé Althea Heart are reportedly not returning to the fourth season of "Love and Hiphop: Atlanta" following some issues over their contract negotiations.
In season 3, Althea appeared on the television show as an unpaid guest, being Benzino's fiancé. However, the couple demanded that Althea be paid for her appearance, but the executive producers apparently do not agree to their demands.
Breathecast reported that an insider claimed that the Althea cannot be paid for "performing like a circus clown for free for an entire year." The source also revealed that it was Althea who insisted on appearing on the show as an attempt to jumpstart her career.
Benzino then turned to Stevie J and allegedly begged him to speak to one of the show's executive producers to let the couple stay in the show. However, rumors reveal that Stevie J did the opposite.
Although news of Benzino and Althea Heart's removal from the series has been circulating online, the officials of the show have not given any final word or confirmation on the status of the couple on the series.
Production of "Love and Hiphop: Atlanta" season 4 has started earlier this month. However, there are still no reports as to its release.
