The Love & Hip Hop franchise is a highly popular reality television series on VH1, which first premiered on March 6, 2011. It chronicles the personal and professional lives of hip hop and R&B musicians, performers, managers, and producers in major U.S. cities, quickly expanding with successful spin-offs set in Atlanta, Hollywood, and Miami.

Known for its extensive ensemble cast of over 250 figures, the show has featured notable artists like Jim Jones, Remy Ma, and Ray J, while also playing a pivotal role in launching the careers of stars such as Cardi B. Despite facing consistent criticism for its perceived scripted narratives and "needless filler drama," the franchise achieved immense success, becoming one of cable television's highest-rated unscripted series and earning a "guilty pleasure" reputation.

After airing continuously from May 2014 until May 2020, production paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic but made a successful return in 2021. As of November 2022, the franchise has aired over 485 original episodes across 30 seasons.
