Rumors run wild over betrayal, heartache, and family secrets, this season on "Growing Up Hip Hop," Angela Simmons (Rev Run's daughter) is hot and heavy with a new love interest, who packs a punch as a professional boxer; but her family, especially sister Vanessa, worry that Angela's moving too fast and heading towards heartbreak. A battle of dueling weddings between Egypt Criss (Pepa & Treach's daughter) and her cousin, Tahira "Tee Tee" Francis, uncovers a shocking family secret that no one sees coming. Savannah Jordan (Stevie J's daughter) is keeping her own secrets from her father and catches the eye of Boogie Dash.
