Season 4 of VH1's "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" hasn't even aired yet and the drama is already starting. TMZ reported on Wednesday that Benzino and his fiancée Althea Heart were fired by producers but a clear explanation was never given.
Sources connected to the show told TMZ that producers blame Benzino and Althea for starting the fight during the Season 3 reunion show. Back in July, the cast made headlines after Joseline Hernandez and her husband Stevie J attacked several of their co-stars during the New York City taping.
"I wonder how the other castmembers feel about this?" Benzino tweeted.
"You can't fire a BOSS..." he added, before going off on a lengthy Twitter rant.
"Damn, I thought after all I have done for the franchise, I [would] be appreciated, not victimized, I guess doing the right thing don't count. So this is what happens when a man shows loyalty to his co called bro huh? All I did was stick up and protect the woman I fell in love with," he wrote, according to RealityTea.com.
"So the WILD DRUGGED OUT ANIMAL GETS TO STAY BUT ME AND THI GET FIRED??? AND I NEVER EVEN GOT 1 PHONE CALL SINCE THE REUNION IN JULY? If you take me and thi and mmi out the show last season, WHAT WOULD BE THEIR STORYLINE???? EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM WAS FAKE AS F**K!" he continued.
Benzino also tweeted that he and Althea had planned on getting married on Season 4 of "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta."
"I [love] you baby everything will be just fine!! #thiandz#thithi the beginning of us," Althea wrote, hinting that the two may be getting their own show.
"Babe don't stress that mess @IAMBENZINO I [love] you!! We for ever for life!!! #thiandz," she added.
So far, VH1 has not released a statement on the cast shakeup. Benzino made headlines last week when he made claims that Joseline was faking her pregnancy. Stevie J announced on a radio show that his wife was expecting their first child together.
Benzino took to Instagram and posted a meme that read: "I am not getting any intention. What the heck am I going to do now? I know!!! Ill fake a pregnancy!"
He also uploaded a photo of a fake pregnancy test that said "always positive. Is your man MAN enough?! Test his reaction... Great for marriage, extortion, laughs."
