AceShowbiz - The future of "Love & Hip Hop" franchise is in limbo due to Coronavirus outbreak. In a newly released statement, VH1 announces that it has "forcibly shut down" production of upcoming seasons of several spin-off series amid the global pandemic.
"Due to the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic, all production on the 'Love & Hip Hop' franchise series has been forcibly shut down," read the statement. "This means that 'Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood' season 7, the remaining episodes of 'Love & Hip Hop: New York' season 10 and 'Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta' season 9 will all be postponed until further notice."
"This also applies to 'Love & Hip Hop: Miami' season 4," added the statement. "It's still uncertain when and how production will resume."
Some "Love & Hip Hop" stars reacted to the news by leaving comments underneath TheShadeRoom's Instagram post about the notice. "Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" cast member AD called the production shutdown a "blessing in disguise."
"Love & Hip Hop: Miami" star Joseline Hernandez also chimed in, "N they bout to pay BIG MAMA A HUGE BAG no more Mona." Poking fun at his own situation, Zell Swag wrote, "Do we get unemployment.. asking for a coworker."
Some other people, meanwhile, didn't necessarily think it was bad news. "Good, we're tired of the fake storylines anyway....," a naysayer stated. Echoing the sentiment, someone added, "Good, whole franchise should've been cancelled years ago." A user straightforwardly asked VH1 to "CANCEL THE ENTIRE SERIES."
Now that the production is in on hold, someone predicted that "a few of them about to go extra hard on there only fans account." Well, "Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" couple Erica Mena and Safaree Samuels did join the paid subscription adult platform, though Erica denied being broke.
"If y'all could you would. Keep that in mind every time y'all think someone is broke just for adding another just because way of getting coins," she fired back. Laughing at the speculations, the VH1 personality added, "We so broke So don't forget to subscribe Y'all !"
