ET/9C followed by an encore presentation at 11 P.M. ET/10C. The episode will re-air on Wednesday, September 30, 2020, at 10 PM/9C. In this episode of UNCENSORED, Yandy Smith-Harris talks about her hustle from intern to music executive at Violator Records, the ups and downs of building a hip-hop TV franchise, and the moment in her marriage that almost broke her.

Yandy Smith is a Harlem born, entertainment manager, and entrepreneur. In 2004, she graduated from Howard University and interned at Violator under the mentorship of Mona Scott-Young. In 2005, Yandy met Jim Jones on a private jet charted by Russell Simmons and left Violator to manage him full-time.

In 2006, Yandy approached Mona to retool a TV pilot show, and the concept was tweaked to include Jim’s girlfriend Chrissy and her circle of friends, becoming what would be later known as Love & Hip Hop. Through her time a cast member and manager the hustle has always remained. She is now a wife to long time love Mendeecees Harris, mother and the longest-running cast member on Love & Hip Hop.

The auto-biographical series delves into the lives of luminaries as they reveal secrets to their success, obstacles they faced, and how they’ve navigated the perils of social media that helped – and sometimes haunted – their careers.
