Michael Blackson is opening up about a complicated chapter in his personal life as cameras roll on the new season of Love & Hip Hop: Miami.
In a preview for Season 7, the comedian appears alongside Nadia Beddini, who has been described as his “side chick,” as the two revisit how their situation unfolded while he was also involved with his then-fiancée, Rada Darling. The conversation offers a look at how both women became pregnant around the same time.
“Rada told me to never get attached to any side chicks, but now I’m really attached to two people, Nadia and my next son,” Blackson says in the clip. “And he been making three people if you add her mother.”
Nadia pushes back on how their relationship has been portrayed publicly. “Screamed it to the world. But my baby’s a secret. I can’t even post about it,” she says.
Blackson responds by thanking her for keeping things private. “I’m really proud of you, so thank you for keeping stuff to yourself. I don’t want no stress. You know it’s hard, though. I look crazy.”
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.
