*MTV’s “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” continues its reign as the franchise’s longest-running series with the debut of Season 13 on Tuesday, July 8. Longtime stars Rasheeda and Kirk Frost return for another explosive chapter—this time more candid and unfiltered than ever.
“You develop this little funny family over the years,” Rasheeda said about her evolution on the show. “A little dysfunction, a little… love-hate relationships.” She added, “We’re just doing it on television, growing, trying to evolve, trying to figure it out.”
Kirk admitted that returning for the new season was both exciting and revealing. “We just figured out that some people wasn’t even as real as we thought,” he said. “It’s disappointing to see people who you thought were a lot cooler, be so shiesty and so fake.”
Rasheeda echoed the sentiment: “We coming in blazing and ready to go in Season 13.”
On the subject of friendships, trust is harder to come by. “People think you’re slow and they can get over to a certain extent,” Kirk said. “We looked in and was like, wait a minute, are they really thinking they playing us?”

Rasheeda made the boundaries clear: “We’re not friends. You don’t call me off camera… you only do stuff on camera.” She added, “People tend to want to… create a narrative about a person that’s untrue because you don’t want to be real about yours.”
According to Kirk, “We’ve got people who literally read a comment and then get on television and say what the comments said. Like, you’re such a cloner. It’s so funny, but it’s almost disgraceful.”
Asked about how wild the season gets, Rasheeda was upfront: “You’ll see people going through some difficult situations… some friendships turn in another direction.” She added, “Ultimately, it’s life… you got to deal with everything that comes along.”
Kirk warned viewers to look closely at the motives behind the drama. “There’s people… deflecting and want to just talk about Kirk and Rashida while their lives are in shambles.” He concluded, “That’s my word for this season—deflection.”
One moment fans didn’t see coming was Rasheeda and Kirk extending an olive branch to Jasmine, mother to his son Cannon. Kirk explained the backstory: “We were in court for almost two years… over some money issues.” He continued, “It was going to get lowered. I opted to leave it where it was. And I got some custody now… so you’ll be shocked.”
“It’s just good to be at a place where we have no beef right now,” Kirk said. “Kids want to be kids, and love on each other, and family events and things. So, I don’t want the drama.”
Rasheeda reflected on the emotional weight of that reconciliation. “It’s been about a decade now,” she said. “Cannon is nine years old… I want him to just always know and understand that it’s unconditional love across the board.”
When asked what viewers should brace for, Rasheeda hinted at a volatile moment. “There’s going to be like a real difficult conversation… and it just don’t go good. And it’s very, very unexpected and very ratchet.”
Kirk didn’t hold back either: “The fake and the phony will be exposed. This is the time.”
