As a former intern of Mona’s, a long,long time ago, I was extremely excited to reconnect with her and congratulate her on all her success.

I had the opportunity to chat with Mona Scott-Young, who you know as being the Executive Producer of “Love & Hip-Hop,” but what you may not know is, she is the former President and co-founder of Violator Management, which was behind the careers of Missy Elliot, Busta Rhymes, Maxwell, Fantasia, just to name a few. After almost 20 successful years with Violator, she branched off to launch her own company MONAMI ENTERTAINMENT, which includes the management of Missy Elliott, guides the careers of Jim Jones and Busta Rhymes, and now of course includes the new hit reality show “Love & Hip-Hop.”

Mona is also the proud mother of a son and a daughter, and happily married to her husband Shawn. So not only is she successful in business, she’s managed to maintain a strong successful balance with her personal life.

With reality shows being the core of TV today, Mona saw an opportunity and wanted to create something representing Hip-Hop, the world she knew and could relate to. She wanted to provide a platform and a honest reflection of the various relationships within the Hip-Hop industry .

Now that season 2 of “Love & Hip-Hop” has ended, we’re all waiting for the drama-filled reunion show which airs this Monday, but from what Mona tells me, it is not exactly a ‘reunion’, more of a ‘recap’ or a ‘special episode.’ They did something a bit different.

The Reunion aka: “Special Episode”:

Yeah, we did something a little different. I love to say its because we had this lofty idea, but it was more just because we couldn’t get the cast all in the same room together. So what we did was, we held separate 1 on 1 conversations with each cast member.

So no drama?

Yeah, Exactly!

So what are some of the things that we’ll find out on Monday? Wait, there’s more…
