Since the American franchise's inception in 2011, the show has come under scrutiny, with many fans believing it is scripted.

But, despite the bad press, Love & Hip Hop has been rated as one of the most watched and unscripted franchises in pay television history, EWN reports.

The show will air from Monday 27 February on DStv's MTV Africa.

Yanga Chief

The Utatakho hit-maker, Yanga Chief is a firm favourite on MTV, ranking third on the MTV Base Hottest MC in 2019.

The star might cause some drama, especially since he was previously signed to Da L.E.S's record label F2D but left under questionable circumstances.
