Platinum producer RoccStar believes VH1 needs to shake up its Love & Hip Hop lineup, advocating for a return of the Hollywood franchise to primetime while suggesting the Miami series take a back seat. During a recent chat with TMZ Hip Hop in Los Angeles, RoccStar shared his thoughts on the franchise’s current state and why Hollywood deserves another shot.
Why Hollywood Vanished
According to RoccStar, the network’s reluctance to pay cast members played a significant role in Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood disappearing from screens in 2019. Despite the absence, RoccStar fondly recalled his time alongside notable castmates like Omarion, Soulja Boy, Jason Lee, and Ray J & Princess Love, emphasizing his impact as a ratings magnet.
Ray J and Princess Love’s Viral Drama
The conversation also touched on recent headlines involving Ray J and Princess Love’s viral exchange with Sukihana. While RoccStar acknowledged the drama, he chalked it up to “true love making people crash out,” adding that he’s made his fair share of mistakes in relationships. He described the pair’s dynamic as a “unique” way of showing affection, blending controversy with humor.
Beyond Reality TV
Although RoccStar is open to returning to Love & Hip Hop, he made it clear it would take a substantial financial offer to reignite his involvement. For now, his focus is on the tech industry.
RoccStar’s burgeoning company, Roccstar Wireless, recently secured a partnership with T-Mobile, positioning the brand for significant growth. Additionally, his new social media platform, Trinity, aims to rival TikTok, presenting itself as a fresh alternative in the competitive tech landscape.
A Possible Hollywood Revival?
RoccStar’s comments highlight the enduring appeal of Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood and the potential for its revival under the right circumstances. With his entrepreneurial ventures gaining traction, RoccStar’s influence extends far beyond reality TV, though his charisma and presence on the show remain undeniable. Whether or not VH1 takes his advice, fans of the franchise can hope for exciting developments in the near future.
