For most people, reality television falls into two categories – love or hate. But one thing is certain, it has changed the lives of many and has the capacity to take one’s career to a new level.
The latter is what St. Louis native and rapper Tiffany Foxx had in mind when she signed on for season 4 of VH1’s Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta.
Foxx is best known for her connection to hip hop icon Lil Kim, but she has also worked with Snoop Dog and was one-third of the female rap group June 5th
Christened “King Foxx” by her fans, Foxx set to appear on the season opener of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, tonight (Mon., April 20th). Foxx had been rumored to be in works with the VH1 franchise before.
“This season seemed right,” Foxx said. “God said, ‘Tiffany do not turn down any opportunities that land at your feet and I will hold your hand though it.’”
Foxx says she has a strong connection to her faith and family appears grounded in her decision to join reality TV and confident enough that it will help her seasoned, but growing, career.
Tiffany isn’t the first St. Louis native to appear on a VH1 reality show and Foxx didn’t appear too familiar when asked about Brittish Williams who was most recently on Basketball Wives LA. Make no error – her response was a full serving of shade. Foxx has not been concerned with Williams since the two engaged in a beef that briefly played out on social media.
These days, Foxx has used her social media presence to share updates regarding the status of her family, personal relationships and her career – though she’s been (and continues to be) especially tight lipped with respect to anything related to the show.
One thing she did make clear was that while she didn’t have any solid friendships with other cast members prior to filming.
As far as the drama, Love and Hip Hop has a history of it- especially the epic fight led by Joseline and Stevie J during the reunion episode.
Foxx has been thrown into her own fair share of drama because of her affiliation with Lil Kim, but she says she ignores most of the nonsense.
While her music is aggressive and focused on empowering females, Foxx admits she also has a very passionate side when it comes to her family and close friends.
Tiffany Foxx wants viewers to see another side of her.
She calls Atlanta home and admits she had to leave St. Louis to take her career to the next level.
As of late she has been splitting her time between both cities – which may be contributed to her relationship with significant other (my title, not hers). He was recently released from prison after serving nearly a decade for a federal conviction.
Aside from an inside look into the many layers of her life and give insight into her personality, Foxx hopes the show will illustrate her unyielding work ethic as she grinds to make a name for herself on the national hip-hop scene.
“TV is the biggest platform you can have,” Foxx said.
She’s making the most of the opportunity by simultaneously working on new music with Lil Kim. Her new single “Stars Tonight” will drop on the season premiere of Love & Hip Hop.
A full mixtape expected to drop late spring or early summer.
The season premiere of Love and Hip Hop Altanta debuts tonight at 7 p.m. CST on VH1. Check local listing for Channels or visit www.vh1.com for more information.
