This season of Marriage Boot Camp stars a full hip hop cast. The show centers around the marriage problems of celebrities (l to r) Tiffany Campbell and on again off again boyfriend Lil Fizz (LHHH), Lil Mo and husband Karl "Dynamite" Dargan (LHHNY), Waka Flocka Flame and wife Tammy Rivera (LHHATL), Nia Riley and boyfriend Soulja Boy (LHHH) and Jessica Dime and fiancée Shawne Williams (LHHATL). The show is a must watch! Check out my breakdown below.
These two obviously think they are the couple on the show with the least amount of problems. I beg to differ. Waka blames Tammy for living in the past and not realizing he has changed from the unfaithful rapper he once was. Tammy can't fully trust Waka because he has cheated so much in the past that she now has her guard up. These two have serious communication issues! Waka antagonizes Tammy constantly and she reacts with pure rage. I don't think Waka realizes how bad he hurt Tammy because he has dealt with so much death and other issues in life that he is basically numb to feelings. Tammy talked about being in a past abusive relationship in which she internalized a lot of anger which is now spilling out into her current marriage. I like these two and I hope they can make it work because I honestly want to see them win!
This couple has been engaged for nearly two years. Shawne refuses to set a wedding date. He claims Jessica is ratchet and ghetto and displays this behavior in all the wrong places. Jessica says Shawne is controlling. Shawne doesn't like Jessica wearing revealing clothing but to her defense she is a former stripper and he knew what he was getting in to when they got together. In my opinion these two have the least relationship issues. I hope they set a date because I'm rooting for them and I cant wait to see those wedding pics.
I'm not even sure if these two even like each other! Tiffany is holding out for some type of commitment from Fizz that he is obviously not ready to give. He is not putting forth any effort in the exercises and has referred to Tiffany as a friend with benefits and an appetizer that's trying to be a full course meal! Tiffany has not even met his son yet and she is not on any of Fizz's social media accounts. Tiffany calls Fizz selfish and uncaring. Fizz says his selfishness problem stems from being a child star and never really having a childhood because he was expected to work and support his family. Now that he is an adult he is not going to follow anybody's plan but his own. Tiffany had a troubled childhood stemming from a father who was abusive to her and her mother. She says she has been through enough in life and she will not let Fizz put her through anything else. On top of all that Fizz once dated Nia Riley another cast mate but I will touch more on that later. I personally think Tiffany should let go and let God lol.
This couple has also dealt with infidelity on Karl's behalf. This is Mo's third marriage and she is trying to make it work because she doesn't want another divorce. Mo feels that Karl's claim to fame is being her husband. Now keep in mind that Karl is a professional boxer so he may have had some level of fame prior to being with her although I honestly never heard of him. Karl's social media and online activity is what gets him in trouble. In other words he entertains the female fans lol. On the show Karl got caught (in a room with 27 cameras) face timing another woman and telling her to tell him she loves him. When Karl was confronted about this he lied and said it was his sister. That was proven false as the tapes were pulled and screenshots were given to Mo. Now I know Mo was feeling humiliated! My opinion is that he is not worth the drama. I don't like to see any marriage fall apart but a person can only take so much!
Last but certainly not least, the couple I feel has the most issues. Soulja and Nia have been together for 10yrs. Soulja constantly disrespects Nia on social media, cursing her out and calling her all types of names. Nia stated that he stressed her out so bad that she miscarried their baby at 16 weeks and that she doesn't think she can ever forgive him for this. Soulja treats her like a slave in my opinion. He expects her to do everything for him yet he doesn't appreciate anything. He is also very jealous. Remember earlier when I told yall that Nia dated Fizz? Well Soulja makes her life a living hell for it constantly accusing her of being in Fizz's face. This has been the subject of many arguments in the boot camp house. Both Fizz and Nia deny anything happened between them other than hanging out but its obvious that neither Tiffany nor Soulja believe that. Soulja says his issues with women stem from his mother not being in his life as a child. Nia has stated that she doesn't think there is anything left between her and Soulja but if that's the case then why did they come to boot camp? I say these two bring out the worst in each other and Nia needs to make a run for it!
If you like reality tv be sure to tune in to Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition Thursday nights on WE tv.
I think Mo needs to get over being divorced again and try a long term separation. Tammy and Waka obviously love each other but they both need to let go of the past. Tiffany needs to stop hanging on to a man that classifies her as a meal!! 🤢🤬 Nia needs to leave Soulja Boi’s immature behind and her and Fizz need to see what could come of them.
Allegedly he hit her in the boot camp and they had to leave early. We shall see!
This show is so good but Soldja Boy makes me damn sick..His behavior is scary and I'm afraid for his girl. I wonder if he hits her when off camera
