On Monday night, May 6, VH1 aired another installment of its popular “Love and Hip Hop” series and there was no shortage of drama on the show.
One of the central relationships of the show, the always-interesting union between rapper Lil Scrappy and his fiancé Erica Dixon, again took center stage.
Starting off, Scrappy let Erica know that his ex-love interest Shay came by the studio to see him and that she was in tears explaining how much he hurt her over how their friendship/relationship ended. Erica wanted to know what he said to her, and how did she know he was even at the studio.
Scrappy told Shay he was sorry for hurting her, but explained that he’s with Erica and that she is who he wants to be with. He felt his Mom might have set him up, because as soon as she exited the studio Shay entered. This made Erica highly upset and she wanted to have a conversation with Momma Dee to let her know that she is here to stay.
There’s no secret Momma Dee doesn’t care too much for Erica, but Scrappy asked his mother to come by their home and cook him his favorite meal, fried Chicken, as well as macaroni and cheese. He wanted Momma Dee to join him, Erica, and her mother Mignon for a family dinner.
He said he grew up having both his grandparents on both sides in his life and there was never an altercation or incident and he wanted the same life for his daughter. Momma Dee agreed to come to dinner.
The night of the family dinner it was very pleasant. Scrappy began to ask Mignon why there is a lot of negativity about not believing they will get married. Mignon explained that it’s her opinion and that doesn’t mean that it’s negative.
She said she couldn’t believe they would get married because she has seen the break ups and the other women and the cheating. Scrappy said Erica never told Mignon the positive stuff.
Momma Dee began to defend her son upon hearing this. Soon thereafter, Erica interjected, explaining that Momma Dee has always had issues with her.
Erica continued to disrespect Momma Dee and she played it cool. Erica told Scrappy to tell his Mom not to call her a b*tch ever again and Momma Dee respectfully answered and explained that she understood.
Suddenly, things got crazy as Erica jumped up screaming and yelling at Momma Dee and Scrappy. She threatened Momma Dee and then got in Scrappy’s face.
Scrappy lightly pushed her away, and Erica went ballistic and forcefully shoved Scrappy out of his chair. Security arrived and broke everything up but Erica continued screaming insults at her fiancé and mother-in-law.
Momma Dee was being held up by security at this point as Scrappy packed up his clothes and told Erica to take off her engagement ring.
Erica called Scrappy a b*tch and said that he’s broke with nowhere to stay. After a while Scrappy and Momma Dee were in front of the house because he refused to leave until he got his engagement ring back from Erica.
Erica got inside of her car and began backing out the driveway, almost hitting Momma Dee in the process. She quickly drove off, leaving Scrappy and Momma Dee standing in front of the house.
