'Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood' Season 4 Reunion Updates: Zell Swag Talks About Beef With Masika, Misster Ray After Reunion Part 1
After being launched as one of the newest members of the "Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" cast roster, Zell Swag talked about his feelings about being part of the show after the first part of season 4 reunion special.
Speaking with The Jasmine Brand, the celebrity stylist whose real name is Lazell Shaw talked about how he and Masika Kalysha started out as friends before he was tapped to join the VH1 reality show. He also discussed how their friendship turned sour as the season progressed.
According to Swag, he and Masika were already acquainted even before the aspiring model started filming for the show. But he felt that she opted to keep it a secret from everyone during that time.
He also revealed that he told her that he was contacted by the show's producers to join "Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood." At first, Masika showed her apprehension, but their friendship was rekindled after that as seen in the early episodes of the season. They started hanging out and she told him some of the things that their co-star and his nemesis Misster Ray was doing behind his back. But he, later on, found out that she was also behind those schemes as well.
Then Swag revealed how things turned ugly between him and his former friend, saying that it all began when her out for her dirty feet. He also claimed that they managed to put it behind them before her launch party, but she and Ray tried to bring in his ex-boyfriend Joe Exclusive to the event to confront him.
"Before I even went her launch party, we were already cool. The reason I did all that f-ck sh-t was because her and [Misster] Ray had (my ex-boyfriend) Joe [Exclusive] outside, trying to bring Joe in. As a friend, you don't do sh-t like that," the celebrity stylist said. "I would never bring Alexis in on her because I know their true beef. Just like she knows me and Joe's relationship."
He also said that his beef with fellow newbie Ray began because he was envious of the fact that he is making a name in Hollywood and constantly around famous celebrities.
About their infamous altercation during the season 4 reunion special, he claimed that he did not intended to have any physical fight with anyone.
"I'm a teddy bear. I might be rough, but I still have emotions and feelings also," he stated. "Once I get to a vulnerable point and ready to apologize, then I get played, thats when I lose it."
The celebrity stylist also denied the rumors that he was fired from the show after the altercation.
Meanwhile, VH1 released several behind-the-scenes photos of the reunion special on its website. The network is slated to air the second part of the "Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" season 4 reunion special on Monday, Oct. 23, at 8 p.m. EDT.
