On the second episode of "Love and Hip Hop" New York version, Raqi confronts Joe Budden about mistreating her at his pool party and Budden says he saved her from ending up in the hospital because Tahiry would have done damage to her. The conversation escalated and Budden began yelling at Raqi, that left her in running away in tears.

Later Budden reveals to his mother, he may have been harsh with his friend Raqi because of relapsing on drugs. The rapper starts to reveal more about his demons and cries to his mother.

The most heated confrontation yet. Erica Mena and Rich talk about business when he begs her he doesn't want to during dinner. The aspiring model and singer insist that she wants to do a song with rapper L'oreal, which Rich quickly shuts down her idea. The little verbal quarrel leads to the club where Mena rage attacks him and her friend L'oreal who told her to leave "before she kicks Rich in the head like she did her baby daddy." Mena then turns on L'oreal and almost ends up in another fight.
