The whole thing was broadcast live on Love and Hip Hop.
Mendecees is a rapper and music turkey email list producer. He owns the Beat Factory recording studio located in the Bronx. He uses his studio to manage up-and-coming rappers in New York City.
The couple has two biological children together. A son named Omere Harris in July 2012, and a daughter named Skylar in January 2015. They also have an additional son from Mendeece's previous relationship, but are raising all of the children together.
Yandy says two of her children attend a school in a predominantly Asian neighborhood, so it's important for her to reinforce their own beauty because they don't look like the other kids and that can be hard for boys.
Mendecees has been dealing with quite a bit of drama over the years due to his alleged child molestation and drug dealing. The alleged victim was 15 years old when the incident occurred, but Mendecees has not faced any charges as nothing has been proven.
