Love and Hip Hop Season 3, Episode 2 Recap; Tahiry and Raqi Beef Continues

The VH1 reality show famously known for airing vicious cat-fights, back-biting and love quarrels delivered all the juice viewers love and more in the second episode of season 3. Each week fans are able to delve deeper into the lives of the controversial cast. Last week's season premiere introduced a bevy of tempestuous relationships Joe Budden has with women- mainly friend, Raqi Thunder and former girlfriend of five years, Tahiry. With no tension spared between the two hot-headed ladies, it's apparent Raqi and Tahiry still have beef to hash-out.

Joe has moved on and is in a new relationship with model, Kaylin Garcia. Friendly talks at Joe's birthday pool party quickly turned to blows when Tahiry threw a drink at Raqi, resulting in the former radio personality being tossed out.

In episode 3, Raqi pops up at Joe's concert rehearsal to ask why he chose to kicked her out of the party. Joe tells Raqi that he was just protecting her, "because a fight with Tahiry would have sent her to the hospital." The two couldn't come to an understanding and Raqi stormed out.

Joe felt bad about the whole ordeal and believed that fight escalated because he was high. The rapper was clean for the last 14 years, but recently relapsed. He claims his old demons resurfaced due to the lack of support and being on the road. Joe confided in his mother about his addiction to pills and other drugs.

Viewers were then introduced to Jen the Pen who is the girlfriend of successful ghostwriter, Consequence. The couples lives in Staten Island and have a 1-year-old son. Jen is out of work and expects "Cons" to foot the bill for all the expenses including the lavish birthday bash she is planning for their son. Cons disagreed and told Jen that she should pay for half of everything by, "getting a job like most normal mothers."

Rich Dollaz and Erica Mena are still trying to find common ground within their strained business and personal relationship. Erica, the feisty model and wanna-be-singer tells her manager-boyfriend Rich that she wants to collaborate with a new talent, Lore'l. Rich told her no and said he should be in charge of all decisions involving her career. The couple went out to a club and got into a huge argument because Erica embarrassingly suggests, "it's time to go." Lore'l butts in and mentioned a fight Erica had with her child's father. After threatening to "kick Lore'l in the neck", Erica removes herself from the shouting match and rides away in a waiting car.
