Love & Hip Hop Season 6 Episode 1 Recap: Who Wears the Crown?

Last night, Love & Hip Hop Season 6 Episode 1 made a triumphant return to VH1, as Remy Ma made his long-awaited comeback to boot.


After six years behind bars. Meanwhile, Yandy Smith and Mendeecees Harris are facing the possibility of him doing some hard time.



If you watch Love & Hip Hop online, you knew coming in that there would be no shortage of drama with these lunatics. You were correct.


We begin with new cast member Remy Ma, who was released last year from a New York prison after serving six years in the pen.


Her husband, the rapper Papoose, is tasked with trying to keep Ma out of trouble because she’s on parole. Not an easy task right there.


He wants to make sure she never misses curfew, unable to bear the thought of his wife going back to the can and leaving him again.


Papoose asks Remy about them having a child together (both have kids from previous relationships), but she wants a wedding first.


A real wedding, not the one they had over the phone in jail.


No one can say Papoose didn’t take those words to heart. He whisked Remy Ma away to a castle where he proposed all over again.


Yandy and Mendeecees could use some of that magic.


Even after he singed a plea deal, Mendeecees and Yandy learned that he is very possibly headed back to prison for eight years.


That would be a pretty big relationship buzzkill there.


It wouldn’t be Love & Hip Hop without the man, the myth, the legend Peter Gunz, and his drama with Tara Wallace and Amina Buddafly.


It’s just as messy as it was last year, which is impressive really. Peter is cheating on Amina with Tara, and that’s not even all:


Both ladies are now living in the same damn building! 


Amina accuses him of banging Tara, which he denies, and hopefully sets the stage for another whole season of this charade.


Meanwhile, Yandy is managing Young B, who had a hit once but needs a career boost, and lands a role on a cypher DJ Self is having.


Of course, Young B’s nemesis Moe is also in the cypher with Sexxy Lexxy and Mariah Lynn, and an epic freestyle battle ensues.


Then an actual battle. Which security has to break up.
