Stevie J says there's "no need" for him to return.

For the last seven seasons, Stevie J has been a major part of the Love & Hip Hop franchise. He stars on the Atlanta branch of the show, even acting as a main character for four seasons. After marrying Faith Evans last year, Stevie may have other plans for his reality television career because it appears as though he's not as down with the cameras as he once was. According to a recent tweet, Stevie will not be returning for the next full season of LHHATL.

There are rumors floating around that the singer was fired from the cast after bossing around producers and acting like a hot shot during filming. Those reports have not been confirmed though. For now, all we know is that Stevie J should be appearing for a few episodes during the eighth season of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta but he won't be there for the entire ride. 

Fans started to react after he let the world know, writing: "Not returning for a full season. No need." While he could have just left things simple by frankly saying that he wasn't coming back for the full season, he chose to add the "no need" at the end. Sounds like there was some drama behind the scenes. Perhaps Faith Evans just wanted no part in the production of the show? Your guess is as good as mine. Will you miss Stevie J on LHHATL?
