Joseline Hernandez
Thanks to her appearances in “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta”, Joseline Hernandez was inevitably pushed into stardom for her personality, looks, and controversial relationship with fellow cast member Steve J. That was never a bad thing for Joseline though, as before starring in the show she’d been looking relentlessly for a taste of fame through her various artistic endeavors.
While it’s impossible to stay neutral about Joseline, considering the many highs and lows she went through in front of the show’s cameras, she was undoubtedly one of the show’s staples.
After leaving in the sixth season, Joseline subsequently busied herself by appearing in numerous reality TV shows, including her own “Love & Hip Hop” spin-off “Joseline’s Cabaret”, “Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition”, and “College Hill: Celebrity Edition”.
Joseline’s latest TV appearance was in “Bad vs. Wild” in 2024, but she keeps working actively in music. So far, she’s released several songs such as “Vegas (I Wanna Ride)” and “Live Your Best Life”, the latter which became viral on social media.
Unfortunately, Joseline was arrested in 2023 following a Florida brawl she was involved in, being sentenced to two years on probation for it. However, on the bright side, Joseline has been engaged to the music producer Balistic Beats since 2019, and co-parents her daughter Bonnie Bella alongside ex-boyfriend Steve J.
Erica Dixon
One iconic star from “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” is Erica Dixon, who despite getting into the show as the girlfriend of Scrappy and baby’s mama of Lil Scrappy, quickly becoming memorable for her personality and approach to difficult situations.
With that being said, one of the most consistent plotlines in the show was Erica’s on-and-off relationship with Scrappy, with the couple going separate ways at some point when he married Bambi Benson, who also appeared in the show. As the relationship between Scrappy and Bambi started, went downhill, and eventually ended, Erica welcomed twin daughters with a man whose identity is unknown.
Fast forward to 2024, and after many highs and lows, Erica and Scrappy confirmed that they were back together, and had been married for a while. Also, Erica seems to have fixed her bond with Momma Dee, her mother-in-law with whom she had many issues in the past.
Besides remaining a recurring star in “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta”, Erica is also a successful businesswoman and owns a popular clothing shop named Klass6. Last but not least, Erica’s online fame is far from fading, due to some of her reactions and comments in the show becoming viral memes.
Rasheeda Buckner-Frost
From the beginning, Rasheeda showed her qualities as a rapper and businesswoman very well, but at some point, her issues with her husband Kirk Frost got out of control. Despite renewing their vows in the first season and staying together for several years, Rasheeda and Kirk’s marital issues increased with time, and it didn’t take long before fights and doubts became part of the equation.
The couple hit one of their lowest points when Kirk cheated on a pregnant Rasheeda in front of cameras, though the worst was yet to come when he got a woman named Jasmine Bleu Washington pregnant while still married to Rasheeda. In the end, the infidelity didn’t result in divorce, with Rasheeda and Kirk remaining together and showing no signs of wanting to split, even nowadays.
The couple still appears in “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta”, though there’s a lot more to them. These days, Rasheeda and Kirk own several businesses, including the clothing brand PressedAtl, the make-up line Poiz Cosmetics, and Frost Bistro Bar.
K. Michelle
Despite only appearing in the earliest seasons of “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta”, Kimberly Michelle Pate, better known as K. Michelle, is one of the most unforgettable people to come out of the show. Not only was her personality enthralling, but her struggles with abuse and musical talents turned her into a memorable person to see on screen, to the point that she got her spin-off “K. Michelle: My Life”, and released the highly successful album “Rebellious Soul” under Atlantic Records.
In fact, K. Michelle has been quite notable for her music career, selling over 600,000 copies of her albums during the last decade. After her 2023 album “I’m the Problem”, Michelle stepped away from R&B to focus on country music, signing with BMG Nashville in early 2024.
While K. Michelle has been romantically linked with men such as LeSean McCoy and Idris Elba, there’s no information about her current romantic life.

Karlie Redd
Ever since the show’s premiere, Karlie Redd has kept her status as one of the most iconic stars of “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta”, for several reasons. One is her complex and interesting dating history, though her feud with former co-star K. Michelle also raised eyebrows everywhere.
While Karlie is still a main cast member of “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta”, she has also appeared in the New York and Hollywood installments of the franchise, and in “Black Ink Crew”. She’s also moved forward with her music career, in recent years releasing popular songs such as “Lonely” and “Werk”.
In 2024, Karlie became engaged to businessman T Davinci, though few details about him and the relationship are known.
Mimi Faust
Back during the first season of “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” we were introduced to Mimi Faust, whose long-time relationship with Steve J was visibly on the rocks. As the show advanced, Mimi showed her struggles while dealing with Steve’s unfaithfulness, and raising their daughter at the same time.
The pair eventually broke up for good, but Mimi remained a main cast member for several seasons, which featured her romantic highs and lows and her coming out as a bisexual woman. The last of her relationships featured in the show was with the basketball player Tamera Young, though the pair broke up in 2022.
These days, Mimi is focused on her clothing line Peace is Priceless, and has also modeled for several brands. Nonetheless, nothing is known about her current romantic life.
