If you’ve been watching Love & Hip Hop lately, you know that things have really been heating up between cast members. In this week’s episode, we saw characters Rashidah Ali and Raqi Thunda get into a rather heated verbal exchange during a charity event. Things got so out of hand as the ladies hurled below-the-belt insults at one another that event attendees looked on expecting a weave-pulling catfight to break out. Although the dispute did not get physical at the event, an exclusive source tells Madame Noire that they did get into an altercation at the Love & Hip Hop reunion show taping yesterday that forced security to step in.

What caused the the ladies to get physical, you ask? Well, it appears that Raqi isn’t really fazed by people calling her industry p***y and other insults, which imply that she’s promiscuous, but she does get rather bent out of shape when you talk about her child’s father and her religion. And that’s exactly what Rashidah did. Our source tells us that the dispute got turned up a notch when Rashidah called Raqi a “fake muslim.” We’re also told that Raqi lost complete control when the redheaded spitfire began talking about her baby’s daddy, going completely off and storming off of the stage. Clearly, her child’s father is a sensitive subject because even Mona Scott Young said, “Everybody knows they can’t say anything about her [Raqi's] baby daddy,” revealed our source. Looks like Rashidah knew which buttons to push. We can’t say for sure whether or not the two actually fought before bouncers intervened, but we can confirm that they came very close to tearing each other apart.

We’re also told that Joe Budden and his barely legal girlfriend, Kaylin Garcia have called it quits. But catch this: Joe and Tahiry announced that they are working on their relationship. They’re working on their relationship so much so, that they’re willing to jump into the ring for one another. According to Joe’s Twitter page, during a filming break, as he and Tahiry made their way outside to smoke, Consequence snuck up behind him and sucker punched him, which caused Tahiry to quickly react, “snuffing” Cons. Yes, Tahiry punched a man.

And then of course, there’s Cons’ side of the story.

Hot mess!

What do you make of all of this? Will you be tuning in to the reunion show?

Even though season 1 of Love & Hip-Hop is about to come to an end, most viewers can’t say they know much about Kaylin Garcia — other than she’s Joe Budden’s girlfriend and doesn’t have time for him to be hopping on tracks with his exes. As it turns out, Ms. Garcia has quite the cult following on Instagram, most people trying to figure out how she keeps her curls so fly, not to mention that body. We decided to check in with the budding reality star to figure out who she really is, outside of her relationship and scripted TV, watch and see what she told us.

When there’s drama, everybody and their mama usually has a cent or two to contribute to the conversation. The latest contribution in the weird 3-way relationship between “Love & Hip Hop” cast members Tahiry Jose, Joe Budden and Kaylin Garcia is resident hothead, Erica Mena. The aspiring singer recently chatted it up with the YBF about all things “Love & Hip Hop” and of course, the interview couldn’t end without discussion of the show’s popular love triangle and those harsh rumors that Tahiry has herpes. Check out what she had to say.

On why Tahiry is jealous of Kaylin:

“Um… I think Tahiry needs to admit to the fact she is in love with Joe, and kind of acknowledge the fact that she is a little bit jealous of Kaylin. I think honestly Kaylin is playing her position the right way, Joe puts Kaylin on a different pedestal than Tahiry, and I think that’s what kind of bothers Tahiry, and that’s what made her react the way she did.”

“He kind of brags about Kaylin more ( as far as social networks). He’s quick to put out there that he’s in love with this woman. She’s young, she’s intriguing, she’s fresh, and aint nothing like good meat. Ain’t nothing like good fresh meat.”

On rumors of Tahiry having an STD:

“God bless if that’s true and definitely stop spreading it. If you’re a walking disease you should put yourself in a bubble and stay there. I think that could be true though… but then it may not but if it is she should definitely slow her roll.”

Interesting enough, Tahiry and Joe were recently spotted at her single release party together looking rather cozy.

What do you think of the constant back and forth between Tahiry and Joe? Is she jealous of his new lady?

Madame Noire’s deputy editor, Brande Victorian, had the distinct pleasure of attending the “Love and Hip Hop” Premiere screening last night. And not only did she attend the event, she got to speak to cast members Joe Budden and his new boo Kaylin Garcia, the girl in the revealing red blazer.

As you can tell Brande seems a bit apprehensive to speak to these two…perhaps it has something to do with Joe Budden’s alleged issues with domestic violence. Don’t wanna ask any questions that might get you chin checked on camera. One never knows. So, looking at this image, what do you think is going on? What are Brande, Joe and Kaylin thinking to themselves in this picture?
