Safaree Quits “Love & Hip-Hop” Reality Show

Safaree reveals he has quit the popular reality series Love & Hip Hop after eight years.

The entertainer has been a prominent figure in various iterations of the popular reality TV series appearing in the Atlanta, Hollywood, Miami, and New York versions. His departure from the franchise was due to exclusivity issues, he told the “We in Miami” podcast.

“I walked away,” he said. “They’re filming now, but I didn’t even sign back on. I would have done it again, but these lawyers and everyone involved want all these exclusivity rights. They want to tie me down and say, ‘Okay, only here. You can’t do anything else.’ You have to pay me to sit.”
