Everyone’s Pushing Tahiry’s “Buddens”

Love & Hip Hop New York – 1/7/13

Tahiry Jose a video vixen/model and Joe Budden are new to the Love & Hip Hop cast. They have not been together for four years, but Joe wants to try to see if they can work some things out…or so he says. When Tahiry meets him at the restaurant, he just wants to joke around. When he finally attempts to be serious, he starts insulting Tahiry. Tahiry flips the table and drinks go everywhere. One of the many parts of this scene that are unrealistic, was Tahiry rushing away from the table with her Louis Vuitton bag still on the back of the chair…not likely. Come on Mona they have to do better with the editing. LOL.

Yandy’s is pregnant by her long time boyfriend Mandisi. They are at her baby shower and it is starting to wind down. Mandisi says he has a party to attend so he is leaving. Yandi is upset because she wants him to help get the gifts home. He says she has people to help her. Was Mandisi (Mandeesee) wrong for leaving the party?

Erika and Rich Dollaz, Olivia’s manager, are a couple…Really? Last season Erika was known for being a fire cracker. He’s also managing her. Let’s see how long this love affair lasts.

Rashidah Ali is a known shoe consultant to the stars, perhaps she needs to put these stars on to some Hendrick Brun shoes. Rashidah is friends with Tahiry and feels she needs to let go of Joe. Rashidah tells Tahiry Joe has not changed and she needs to move on.

Now Joe is making it seem to Raqi like Tahiry was just acting crazy when she flipped the table because she is still in love with him. He is not telling Raqi that he wants to make amends with Tahiry. Joe then goes to Tahiry’s job to have a discussion about trying to at least be friends and take it from there.

Raqi meets Tahiry to find out what issues she has with her. Tahiry is tap dancing around the fact that she thought Raqi was sleeping with Joe when they were working together. Raqi says she never slept with Joe and Tahiry is just insecure. Do we believe Raqi slept with Joe?

Olivia, Rich and Erika meet up. Olivia is asking all types of questions. Erika’s music note tattoo in the shape of an “R” is a bit much, but hey it could represent many things, not necessarily “Rich” right? Things get heated and Erika gets up to leave. And after stirring the pot from the beginning, Olivia tells Rich he should go after her. Give me a break Olivia.

At Joe’s birthday pool party Joe has a bright idea to play truth or truth. Raqi is pushing Tahiry’s “buddens” so to speak. Tahiry finally has enough and ends up going after Raqi and hitting her in the face. Joe sides with Tahiry and has Raqi escorted out. Raqi is hurt that Joe sided with Tahiry, but like Tahiry said “what did she expect?”

This season looks like it is going to be drama filled and I will definitely be tuned in!
