Michael Blackson is shedding light on a challenging chapter of his personal life as the cameras start rolling for the latest season of “Love & Hip Hop: Miami.”
In a sneak peek of the upcoming Season 7, the comedian is seen with Nadia Beddini, who is often referred to as his “side chick.” The two delve into the complexities of their relationship while Blackson was also involved with his then-fiancée, Rada Darling. The discussion reveals that both women were expecting children around the same period.
“Rada always advised me not to get emotionally involved with side chicks, yet here I am, deeply connected to both Nadia and my future son,” Blackson shares in the preview. “And that connection extends to a third person—Nadia’s mother.”
Nadia expresses her frustration with the public perception of their relationship. “You announced everything to the world, but my pregnancy remains a secret. I can’t even share it publicly,” she remarks.
Blackson appreciates her discretion, responding, “I’m genuinely proud of you for keeping this between us. I don’t want any stress. It’s tough, though; I know I look ridiculous.”
Rada, however, offers a different perspective in the same preview, suggesting the situation was not accidental. “Let’s just not act like it was an accident. You thought that she couldn’t get pregnant and you wanted another baby and I wanted to get pregnant and then it just happened that we both got pregnant at the same time,” she says. “It’s crazy, but it was no accident.”
Off-screen, the situation has also played out publicly. According to TMZ, Nadia ddoesn’t like being labeled a “side chick” and says she and Blackson were in a full relationship.
She claims the two had known each other for years before becoming romantically involved and that he agreed to start a family with her.
She further claimed she believed Rada was aware of their relationship and that Blackson wanted a dynamic similar to Nick Cannon’s widely discussed family structure, which includes multiple children with different partners.
Rada, for her part, has said she did not realize the extent of Blackson and Nadia’s relationship until about a year and a half ago. She also stated that she learned about Nadia’s pregnancy after joining the show, and that Blackson had described Nadia as a friend with benefits.
Despite the tension, Rada has expressed hope that the two children, her son Michael Kyaire and Nadia’s son Kweku, will grow up knowing each other. The boys recently had their first playdate.
Season 7 of Love & Hip Hop: Miami premiered April 8, 2026, on BET.
