Benzino and Althea

According to a source, producer Mona Scott-Young shed a couple of dead weights to make room for rapper Da Brat and her girlfriend on popular reality TV series Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.

Da Brat

Frustrated by the sudden loss of his financial security, Benzino lashed out at a well-known blogger on Twitter.com last night. The 50-year-old wannabe rapper was spotted standing in line at the unemployment office in downtown Atlanta today.

From TMZ via ebengregory.com:

Production sources tell us the couple was given the boot Wednesday AM … with no explanation.

Benzino says it’s obvious he and Althea are being blamed for the fight between them and castmates Joseline Hernandez and Stevie J … a brawl that proved irresistible for other cast members.

TMZ broke the story … Althea sued Joseline, claiming she started the fight while she was high on crack.

Although Althea got her ass whooped … producers sided with Joseline, even though other castmates felt Joseline should have gotten the boot.

VH1 wouldn’t comment, but it’s pretty obvious. Joseline’s better TV, and that trumps everything.

Update: Da Brat responded on Twitter.com.
