Fans of the Love & Hip Hop franchise will be excited to hear news of a new Love & Hip Hop Houston spinoff that includes notable artists from the city. It has been reported that a new show is in the works as of now. Rumors began in 2016 of a new Love & Hip Hop franchise that was set to expand to the city but there wasn't much development on the subject. During that time, there were talks of potential cast members such as Jhonni Blaze, Mehgan James, Kirko Bangz, and Just Brittany. Additionally, a roster of several other renowned Houston natives who are embedded in the music industry were considered.
However, production was reportedly stopped indefinitely due to safety concerns for the crew on set. According to insiders, there were alleged acts of extreme violence between cast members and issues with those local to the area, citing the set as "too chaotic". As months turned to years, there was little insight on whether or not the plans for Love & Hip Hop: Houston would ever come to fruition.

In 2018, efforts to create a Houston version of the reality franchise resurfaced. There were even reports that suggested that form Destiny's Child member Letoya Luckett may be part of the cast.

BUT u can catch me on Season 3 of Single Ladies on VH1 #Felicia.”
