Masika Kalysha is transitioning from one reality show to another, moving from VH1 hit Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood to WE tv’s Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta. Joining the likes of Shad “Bow Wow” Moss, Shaniah Mauldin, and Ayana Fite, Kalysha recently chopped it up with The Shade Room on her decision to ditch Los Angeles in favor of the Dirty South.
“I didn’t like the way I was being portrayed,” the 33-year-old beauty shared about her experience with L&HH. “I didn’t like the situations I was being put in. It ended up being a lot of situations that in my real life would never occur.”
Kalysha also revealed that L&HH producers cut a heartfelt scene with best friend, Moniece Slaughter, in which she discussed suffering a miscarriage, which was the “final straw” for the aspiring singer.
“They edited it out and my PR person asked them why and they said legal purposes… Anything that was positive or family oriented was taken away and replaced with things that weren’t going on in my everyday life so that was my final straw.”
The Jasmine Brand reported Kalysha would be joining Growing Up Hip Hop shortly after executive producer Moss called out L&HH cast members for “reaching out” in hopes of leaving the VH1 series for his own.
