On July 7, 2015, shortly after her release from prison, Remy Ma announced that she was joining the show for season six, along with her husband Papoose. On November 2, 2015, VH1 announced that Love & Hip Hop would be returning for a sixth season on December 14, 2015. A 5-minute "super-trailer" was released on November 30, 2015.
The cast would undergo a major cast change for the third time in the show's history, with only Yandy, Tara and Amina returning from last season's main cast. They were joined by Remy, social media personality Cardi B and up-and-coming rappers Mariahlynn and Miss Moe Money and Sexy Lexxy of the rap duo BBOD. The season's storylines focused more on the struggles of female rappers in the industry than ever before. Papoose would appear as a supporting cast member, along with radio personality DJ Self, his girlfriend Yorma Hernandez, and rapper Bianca Bonnie. Rose, a stylist who has an affair with Self, appeared in a minor supporting role.

## Synopsis

   New York City, the place where it all began. For us, the women in hip hop, the hustle is harder. Talent grants you entry into the party but making it in this game means overcoming everything and everyone that stands in your way. We've got to hold down our families in the face of adversity and defend our relationship at any cost. We strive for love and happiness but carry with us our broken hearts. Through it all we must stay strong in our resolve, regardless who might stand in the way of our happiness. Out here, we use what we have to get what we want. But men aren't the only players in this game. For us, making it big means fighting for that top spot in a place where legends are born and bred every single day. So welcome back to the big apple. Where the players may change but the game remains the same. Cause its every woman for herself, in love and hip hop.
