And honestly I’ve spent so many years taking care of artist now I can take care of something that is all mine (well me and daddy’s)."

Yandy Smith With Child

Yandy Smith is 'with child.'

As if anyone wasn't sure.

The "Love & Hip Hop" star and former manager to rapper Jim Jones, confirmed to the world that she is indeed expecting a little bundle o' joy. Despite the 'breaking news,' fans noticed Yandy sporting a baby bump several weeks ago. She kept semi-denying the rumors via Twitter until now.

“You wanted to know now you know!!!! #POW” she tweeted with a pic of her belly.

No confirmation on who the dad is. Don't you go speculating about Jimmy Jones, either.

Yandy On Missy Elliott

Reality star Yandy Smith shared her opinion on hip hop veterans Missy Elliott and Busta Rhymes' careers. The two superstars, known for outside-the-box videos and musical ideas, seem to earn the "Love & Hip Hop" cast member's respect with their eclecticism.

Missy Elliott, in particular, won praises from Yandy.

"I think what's interesting about these artists and what makes them great is their ability to keep on reinventing themselves," Smith told SOHH. "Missy really hasn't been gone, she has manifested herself to Keyshia Cole, Jazmine Sullivan and Monica. All of those hit records that you hear, Missy has had a hand in them. She's been busy writing and producing and being very instrumental in a lot of the hits that we've heard throughout the past couple years."

Olivia On Chrissy Vs. Yandy

Olivia of "Love & Hop Hop" discussed the ongoing bad blood between her castmates Yandy Smith and Chrissy Lampkin. Olivia admits that she feels stuck between two women that she has a friendship with, and sh edoesn't know if things are repairable between the two women.

You know what, I do. See, I’ve known Yandy for 8 years. From my Violator days. And we’re friends. And I’ve known Chrissy, well since we first started filming, so for 2 years now," Olivia told NecoleBitchie. "But with Chrissy it was a fast bond. We just met and clicked and I was like ‘Yeah this is easy’. So when I found out Yandy was joining the cast, I figured because they knew each other though Jim, that it would be good. ‘This should be a breeze, there should be no drama.’ I was wrong. It’s caught me off guard. I do feel completely caught in the middle."

"Coming from Chrissy’s side you can understand why she’s mad. I mean you see Yandy give her the book," Olivia continued. "But then you have to know Yandy. She really is a good person. Yandy really was trying to help. And then when we were at the showcase, and Yandy got up to dance to Mama Jones song…You have to understand Yandy has a great relationship with Mama Jones so why wouldn’t she show support and dance to her song? But then you can see why Chrissy’s mad. If you know the song is about Chrissy and you two aren’t on the best term right now, then you can see how Chrissy would take this as a diss. So it’s hard because both sides are equally right to both people."

Actually the hardest part for me has been the editing," Olivia added. "They make me seem like I’m two-faced! Perfect example, when I went to see Kimbella and Yandy. The edit made it seem like I agreed that Yandy deserved an apology. When really what I said was ‘Chrissy isn’t going to give you an apology but you really want it then ask this one last time and if you don’t get it then let it go.’ And they made it look like they said she deserved it. So after it aired, I hit Chrissy just to let her know that wasn’t how it happened and you know, she knows how it goes. But the viewers don’t."

"Love & Hip Hop's" Yandy On Kimbella:

Yandy Smith of "Love & Hip Hop" had some eye-opening revelations to share in a recent interview with TheYBF. The reality star dished on just how 'real' the conflicts are on her hit show, and why she feels a certain notorious castmate gets a bad rep.

"I know people have been calling me the 'Don King of reality tv,' but what I want folks to know is that you only see 10 mins out of a person's 24 hour day," she says. "I am not all about money and I am a good friend. But this is a reality show...it's for entertainment. These ladies and I are not really friends, but we are put in social interactions for entertainment purposes. And sometimes, things happen. The producers like to get a reaction because a good fight can lead to 3 million viewers. "

"As for Kimbella, she doesn’t play victim at all. But for whatever reason, a lot of people (on and off the show) hate on her," she adds. "I have seen it with my own eyes....people want to pick on her. And now she is so used to people coming for her that she is a little sensitive. But once you break down that wall, she is a sweet girl. But she is not presented in the best light on this show for a number of reasons.

Kimbella Defends VH1

Despite Yandy Smith and Erica Mena blasting Vh1 for editing footage to make the show look more scandalous, firebrand Kimbella is defending the network and the show's depiction of her co-stars. Smith says that the show makes her appear to be a constant instigator and that the show misrespresented Erica.

Kimbella denies both women's claims.

"VH1 didn't do editing on anything with [Erica]," Kimbella told TMZ. "That's who she is."

Kimbella has been at the center of two well-publicized fights since the season began.
