## Production

On April 13, 2017, VH1 announced that season four of *Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood* would premiere on July 17, 2017 and initially run for 14 episodes. Earlier on March 17, 2017, singer Keyshia Cole revealed that she had joined the cast for its newest season, along with her estranged ex-husband Daniel "Booby" Gibson. On June 19, 2017, VH1 revealed the show would premiere on July 24, 2017 and released a teaser confirming Cole's involvement with the show, along with a press release confirming the new cast members. On July 13, 2017, VH1 released a series of cast interviews with newcomers Brooke Valentine, Gibson, songwriter Marcus Black, stylist Zellswag, Moniece's girlfriend A.D. Diggs and Fetty Wap's ex Alexis Skyy. On July 17, 2017, VH1 released a six-minute "super" trailer.

Along with Keyshia Cole, this season saw the promotion of Lyrica Anderson and Safaree Samuels to the main cast, as well as the return of Hazel-E after a season's absence. Lil' Fizz and Masika Kalysha were demoted to supporting cast members, with Kalysha's demotion being a controversial and allegedly last minute decision, due to her refusal to film with or even discuss longtime rival Alexis Skyy on camera. The season revealed scenes of Kalysha breaking the fourth wall several times to express her displeasure with producers, as well as threatening legal action and storming off set. Valentine, Gibson, Black, Swag, Diggs and Skyy would all join the supporting cast, along with Chanel West Coast, producer Solo Lucci and Bridget Kelly. *Love & Hip Hop: New York* cast members Cisco Rosado and Jade Wifey, *College Hill* star Misster Ray, Alexandra Shipp's brother James Shipp Jr. and A.D.'s friend Tiffany Campbell would also appear in supporting roles.

On July 3, 2017, three weeks before the season four premiere, VH1 aired *Dirty Little Secrets*, a special featuring unseen footage and deleted scenes from the show's first three seasons, along with interviews with the show's cast and producers.
