“Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” has become the No. 1 reality show in the ENTIRE U.S.

Let’s admit it: We hate to love it, and love to hate it.

Ms. Erica Dixon stopped by today’s show to give us some insight on last night’s episode. And on that episode, we watched her find out that Lil Scrappy was seeing another woman named Shay.

She declared that they were OVER!

And at one point, he did the same.

So imagine my SURPRIIIIIISE when Lil Scrappy walked in with Erica to my show this morning.

Could there be truth to the rumors that he proposed to her on the reunion show; (which has already been pre-recorded?)
Are he and Shay a thing of the past? Did Scrappy finally recognize that while he was looking for treasure, the biggest jewel was right in front of him?

Find out in this very candid interview…

Egypt: She is here. Ms. Erica Dixon

Erica: Live in the building.

Egypt: She’s blaming it on the parking downstairs but ok, we already know…CP time!! lol I must admit if you watched “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” last night I wasn’t really ready for her walking in the studio with Lil Scrappy.

Erica: (Laughs)

Egypt: Hey that’s how relationships work.

Erica: Yes.

Egypt: You guys have always seemed to be very civil with one another.

Erica: Good friends.

Egypt: Very good friends. But I saw you come in and I just did not expect him to walk behind you but it maybe makes sense because there’s all these rumors floating that on the reunion show you guys got engaged???! (clears throat) Did that happen?

Erica: (Cracks up)

Egypt: Scrap is saying no.(Scrappy shakes his head) No? You’re not engaged?

Erica: Look…

Egypt: Okay, so there’s no engagement? You’re not?

Erica: No comment!!! (laughing) It’s funny to me.

Egypt: Oh I know stuff I’m not supposed to know. Is that it? Everybody’s giving me the signal.

Erica: What are you talking about?

Egypt: Ok we’ll talk about it in 3 weeks. (cracks up)

Erica: It’s funny because we were at the dub car show and this girl was like Congratulations and I was like…

Egypt: You didn’t know what she was talking about.

Erica: She was like yeah the engage…. Actually you know what I think Media takeout has no love for me. It’s just always something with me.

Egypt: But you knew this was gonna happen when you guys put your lives on reality tv.

Erica: Absolutely.

Egypt: You opened Pandora’s box and who knows what’s gonna come out. So you are friends and you’re raising your daughter together?

Erica: Yes.

Egypt: And that’s where you are right now?

Erica: Yes.

Egypt: And the reunion show has been taped already?

Erica: TUNE IN. All I’m gonna say is it went dowwwwwwwn.

Egypt: Between who?

Erica: I mean…everybody!

Egypt: Look they know you’re here now Scrappy. Stop trying to make like you’re not in the studio.

Erica: It went down. It went down. It went down.

Egypt: Alright. Let’s start with this and I was very sad to see- it was just pulled for me- that K. Michelle and Rasheeda are no longer friends. Was this because of the reunion show, what we’re going to see? Did this have something to do with- well I kinda saw the teaser last night- Rasheeda saying that she didn’t believe Memphitz did what K. Michelle says he did? Is that where it stemmed from?

Erica: I honestly don’t know. I’m friends with both girls and I love them both. I honestly don’t know where it went wrong because you said it best- they were friends so I don’t know. I’m just as confused as you.

Pop the hood for more…

Egypt: You watched last night’s episode and you saw-I can’t even call her Bucky anymore- Shay. She was Bucky on Flavor of Love. I was surprised to see her on the show. How did you feel about that whole situation watching it back when you guys had just broken up? You were in the dark about that.

Erica: No. I didn’t know. (Laughs) Honestly, Scrappy was just lying on both ends. He was just lying on both ends but like I said, I never took their relationship serious anyway. From my understanding it’s always been a friendship. I kind of felt even me looking at it on the screen it was so forced- coming from her- like it was forced. Every conversation they had it was about me. It was always pertaining to me not them.

Egypt: Huh? You felt that way? Is that because you are in a better space now?

Erica: No. Go back to my very first interview when I saw it and I just felt like it was so forced. The very first thing, ‘well would you do that for me?’ and ‘what about me?’ and it was like if it was there and it was that type of relationship, why do you even have to ask or question, would he do the stuff he does for me for you?

Egypt: Erica.

Erica: Yes.

Egypt: You were hurt. It’s okay to say you were hurt.

Erica: Oh I’ve said on screen that I was hurt, but like I said, Scrappy was just lying- back and forth.

Egypt: And he’s becoming the incredible shrinking man over on this sofa right now. (everyone laughs) Let me ask you this from a different perspective then. Your girlfriend K. Michelle was forced to do something that you know as friends we never want to do…. be the bearer of bad news. If you missed it last night here it is.

{plays clip from last night’s episode where K. Michelle tells Erica about seeing Scrappy & Shay together at Scrappy’s mixtape event}

Egypt: In that moment were you happy that she was trying to be a friend to you and told you? Or were you upset?Because sometimes when we have emotions running high we don’t know where to throw ‘em.

Erica: I had a bunch of mixed emotions. You could see it all in my face when she told me like my face just dropped. I was just like what?! And it was all because you’re telling me this that he shows up with this girl but in the midst I was like he was still texting me, let’s kick it, let’s do this, let’s do that and it’s like but you just showed up at a major event with another female. And being that – had it even been a week- I don’t even think it’d been a week that we had officially broke up.

Egypt: I know in reality shows, things are often shot and then played back out of sequence. So there was a scene where you broke up in a restaurant at the table. And then there were scenes when he was with Shay droppin’ it like it’s hot or whatever she was doing.

Erica: (Cracks up)

Egypt: What was shot before what? Because I’m watching trying to figure out.

Erica: Honestly, we don’t know. So you’re right. The producers- they can take it and put it any type of context that they please to.

Egypt: How are you and Momma Dee doing? Hi Momma Dee.

Erica: Like I tell everyone- I love her, I just don’t like her. I’ve been dealing with this woman for 10 years. She’s still the grandmother of my child and you can’t – Momma Dee’s Momma Dee and nothing’s gonna change.

Egypt: That’s real.

Erica: I just know how to deal with her.

Egypt: You can love members of your family and just wish you were never related to them. I gotta admit I have a few in my family. That’s real deal Holyfield. But okay then I’m going to ask you this. I wish we had more time and maybe I could get you to come back up before the reunion actually plays because I know we’re going to have questions for you.

Erica: Sure.

Egypt: Scrappy does not want to get on the microphone.

Erica: (Laughing) He over there quiet!

Egypt: Alright, I understand why.

Erica: He says he wants his own interview.

Egypt: You want yours right after this? (Laughing) We’re going to have Lil Scrappy up next guys. Coming up next at 12 o’clock. Do you regret it though? Just for the sake of how some things have played out or have been misconstrued about you or your relationship?

Erica: I have no regrets. Nope.

Egypt: No?

Erica: None whatsoever. I mean what you see is what you get. There’s nothing fake about it. Nothing script about it. This is my life, it’s just on television. And so many are going through it that’s why so many can relate to different people on the show. Because people go through different things and that’s the one thing that I wanted to be able to do. For somebody to be able to relate and if you see something I didn’t-where I messed up at- you do something different. Take a different route.

Egypt: You know what, that’s why I like you on the show because it is what you see is what you get. I’ve always gotten that from you. I think you’re very beautiful.

Erica: Thank you. Likewise.

Egypt: I think she’s beautiful Scrappy!! And if you haven’t put a ring on it you should!

Erica: (Cracks up laughing)

Egypt: Look how he’s looking at me. Oww! You snuck up on me. I didn’t know if you were going to put me in a headlock or what.

Erica: Can I clear something up too by the way?

Egypt: Yeah.

Erica: Let me just make it clear that Scrappy has always been a great father people. They just take things and I guess- it’s your mindset – for those that don’t understand, he’s always been a great father. He’s always been there for little Miss Emani and always will be.

Egypt: Aww look look look! They just showed me a picture of Emani on the honor roll.

Erica: Oh yes.

Egypt: Congratulations! Look you’re a proud daddy… yeah? Aww good. I’m glad you guys are okay. You knew this was going to happen though. You know things get misconstrued but keep your head up.

Erica: Absolutely.

Egypt: Keep handling your business and your child in a very civilized manner like it seems you are. You know I’m very happy for you guys. Hopefully when I see you back up here you will have that ring on it because you’ll all be ready to announce it thank you very much, sexy chocolate.

Erica: Hopefully I will.
