Straight From The A reports that the “Round of Applause” rapper and his fiancé signed up to appear on the third season of “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.”
“It was rumored that Waka was on the list of LHHATL candidates for season 1, but Tammy was hesitant about joining the cast, so he honored her decision not to proceed at that time,” the Atlanta-based blog reports. “Add the fact that Waka’s mom Deb Antney, has made several appearances on the popular hood drama, where she’s been known to give her blunt take on Rasheeda‘s rap career, and you’ve got a win/win situation for all involved!”

Tell us how you feel about the new addition below, then click through the slides to find five celebs who turned down Mona Scott-Young’s TV show opportunity.
1. Charli Baltimore
Rapper Charlie Baltimore, best known for her Murder Inc. days and public relationship with the late Notorious B.I.G, revealed that she turned down the VH1 reality show last season.
“I was in talks with Mona [Scott-Young] to do LHHNY last year. I don’t think I really fit the format for the show. I don’t know if I’d be comfortable having every aspect of my life in public. That really takes a certain kind of personality,” she said. “I’m a rather private person for the most part and I had to take into consideration my daughters lives as well. If I was offered a different sort of show, I wouldn’t be opposed to it, and it’s awesome to see Mona single-handedly turn her show into an empire. I’m all for women empowerment.”
2. Diamond
Lil Scrappy’s ex-girlfriend said she declined to film the reality show because she was focused on surrounding herself with “positive things and positive people.”
“I will not be on the show. Absolutely not,” she said. “Well I’m not sure who all is on the show, but I just know that right now I’ve been focused on my album and just being surrounded around positive things and positive people, and I just can’t play with my career like that. Me being an artist in the middle of my career, you never know how TV can go. It can go good or it can go bad, and I just choose not to gamble with my career like that, you know.”
She added, “I prayed about it ’cause I was going back and forth about it, and something just didn’t sit right for me to go down that particular path right now. I’m not saying that I won’t do reality television somewhere down the line, but as of now, I just feel like my music is my foundation, and that’s what people want to hear from me. Me and my life through my music, not reality television.”
3. 2 Chainz
2 Chainz said he was approached to do the reality series “numerous amounts of times” but decided against it to protect his private life.
“I just didn’t want to have nothing to do with it,” he said during an interview at radio station 92Q. “I’m gonna be on the road, they gonna be somewhere just like, in your girl face, with another girl talkin’ about another girl.”
4. Soulja Boy
The rapper hasn’t publicly stated why he turned down the “Love and Hip-Hop” route, but we assume he pulled his name after ex-girlfriend Diamond decided not to appear.
5. Fabolous
Fab’s girl Emily B. is a popular member on “Love & Hip Hop: New York” but the rapper said he doesnt agree with feeding into people’s fascination with their lives. He explained his thoughts about the reality shows in the video above.
