The world of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta is no stranger to drama, but the latest feud between Erica Banks, Rashida, and Yandy Smith has taken things to a whole new level.
Accusations of betrayal, leaked messages, and a social media explosion have left fans questioning everything they thought they knew about Rashida and Yandy’s friendship.
So, what really happened? Is this the ultimate act of disloyalty, or is Erica Banks just stirring the pot? Let’s break it all down and uncover the real tea behind this explosive fallout.
How It All Started: Erica Banks Calls Out Rashida

It all began when Erica Banks took to social media to call out Rashida’s alleged betrayal of Yandy Smith.
In a now-viral post, Erica questioned Rashida’s loyalty.
She hinted that Rashida had been playing both sides, hanging out with Yandy’s rivals while still pretending to be her friend.
Fans immediately started speculating—was Rashida secretly moving against Yandy?
But before we dive into the fallout, let’s take a step back and examine the history of Rashida and Yandy’s friendship.
Rashida & Yandy: A Friendship in Question
Rashida and Yandy have been in the industry for years, navigating the worlds of music, business, and reality TV together.
Rashida, known for her rap career and successful business ventures like Pressed Atlanta, has always played the role of the peacemaker.
Yandy, a Love & Hip Hop veteran, has built a reputation as a power player, both in the music industry and in reality TV drama.
Together, they appeared to have a solid bond, supporting each other publicly and privately.

But, in the world of Love & Hip Hop, friendships are often tested.
Now, with Erica Banks putting Rashida’s loyalty under the microscope, fans are wondering:
Was their friendship ever real?
Has Rashida been secretly working against Yandy?
Or is Erica just trying to insert herself into the drama?
Things are about to get real messy.
The Fallout: What Did Rashida Do to Get Exposed?
The drama truly began when Yandy found herself at odds with some of her closest cast members.
Rumors swirled that she was distancing herself from certain friendships to focus on her own brand.
Meanwhile, Rashida was spotted hanging out with the very people Yandy was feuding with.
She attended their events, posted pictures with them, and was seen smiling for the cameras.
To an outsider, this might have seemed harmless—but to Yandy and her supporters, it looked like betrayal.
And Erica Banks wasn’t about to let Rashida slide.
Erica Banks Puts Rashida on Blast
Erica Banks is known for speaking her mind, and she didn’t hold back when it came to Rashida.
She tweeted: “It be your own friends smiling in your face but chilling with the ops behind your back. SMH.”
Fans quickly connected the dots—she was talking about Rashida’s relationship with Yandy’s so-called enemies.
But Erica wasn’t done. She went live on Instagram, venting about fake friendships.

“Look, I don’t care who you’re cool with. But don’t act like you ride for someone, then go break bread with the same folks who was just trashing them. That’s fake energy. That’s not real, and I see right through it.”
At this point, the internet was in flames. Fans started tagging Yandy and Rashida, demanding they respond.
Some were Team Erica, agreeing that Rashida’s behavior was shady.
Others defended Rashida, saying she has every right to be friends with whoever she wants.
But the biggest question remained: How was Rashida going to react?
Rashida’s Silence Speaks Volumes
At first, Rashida stayed silent—no Instagram posts, no tweets, no interviews.
But in the world of Love & Hip Hop, silence often speaks louder than words.
Fans interpreted her silence as guilt.
The longer she waited to respond, the more people sided with Erica.
Comments flooded her page, with some calling her fake and others demanding she clear her name.
Then, after days of speculation, Rashida finally broke her silence.
Rashida Responds: Is She Covering Up?
But instead of going live or clapping back, Rashida took a calculated approach.
She posted a photo of her and Yandy, all smiles, with a caption that read:
“Loyalty speaks for itself. Some of y’all should take notes.”
That one line set the internet on fire.
Was this her way of shutting down the rumors?
Was she trying to clean up the mess?
Or was she just playing damage control?
But just when people thought things were settling down, Erica Banks clapped back—HARD.
Erica Doubles Down: Rashida Is “Fake”
Clearly fed up, Erica went live again, and this time, she didn’t hold back.
“You can post all the pictures you want, sis, but we know the truth. You wasn’t loyal, and now you tryna clean it up for the ‘Gram. Let’s not act brand new.”
At this point, the drama was at its peak. Fans were now digging into Rashida’s past, questioning her loyalty in other friendships.
Some even brought up her past issues with K. Michelle and Kirk Frost, suggesting that this wasn’t the first time Rashida had been accused of switching sides.
But then, just when things couldn’t get any messier, someone from Rashida’s inner circle came forward with receipts.
The Leaked Texts That Changed Everything
One of Rashida’s close business associates leaked alleged text messages—and they changed the entire narrative.
The messages hinted that Rashida was secretly competing with Yandy in business deals.
She allegedly texted someone about a brand collaboration, saying:
“Yandy always thinks she’s running things. She’s not the only one who can make moves.”
Fans immediately realized—this wasn’t just about friendship drama. This was about money, business, and power.
If these texts were real, Rashida wasn’t just playing both sides socially—she was doing it financially too.
And suddenly, Yandy’s carefully worded response made sense. She wasn’t outright defending Rashida, because she already knew the truth.
Now the question remains: Will Yandy expose Rashida herself, or is she waiting to see how this plays out?
One thing’s for sure—this drama is far from over.
