Dancehall Queen Spice Gives LHHATL Co-Star Rasheeda Frost A Patois Lesson
Dancehall Queen Spice spent Easter weekend making sure her Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta (LHHATL) co-star, Rasheeda Frost, had her patois slangs on lock.
In a viral clip posted on both their Instagram accounts, Spice is heard grilling her on a few basic Jamaican phrases and the Atlanta star, of course, aced each one.
After Spice joined the popular hit series in 2018, LHHATL ran a segment called ‘Spice’s Jargon Shop’, so she could clarify her native slangs for her confused co-stars including Tokyo, Stevie J, and Mimi Faust. “Does The LHHATL Cast Know Jamaican Jargon? BIG UP to the #LHHATL cast for trying to figure these Jamaican slang words! Step into Spice’s ‘Jargon Shop’ to see how they did!” read the episode caption.
As Spice explained the meaning of Matey, Goodas, Tek Weh Yuhself and more, Rasheeda was heard saying, “Spice, girl you know I don’t know what the hell you be talkin’ bout.”
Hanging with the ‘Queen of the Pack’ however would soon fix all that.
“Just another night wit my boo @spiceofficial I got this girl 😂😂😂,” the rapper captioned her ‘patois class’ post, confident she’d picked up enough of the famed island jargon after years of friendship.
Spice and Rasheeda have gotten close since the Cool It deejay moved to Georgia to join the LHHATL cast. They showed out for each other’s birthday celebrations in 2020, with Spice famously helping her friend let loose on the dancefloor.
“You got moves, and you tricked me 😂🔥🔥🔥 HBD hun I love you 😘,” Spice wrote below the post.

Meanwhile, Rasheeda rocked a curly blue bob and matching jacket at Spice’s 50 Shades of Blue birthday party back in August.
“Happy Birthday to this total Sweat heart, hardworking, amazing diva!! Wishing you many more! 💙💙🎉🎊🍾”, Rasheeda said of her ‘Itsy Bitsy’ friend.
The stylish divas seem like sincere pals, so it’s no surprise that by now Rasheeda has zero trouble with the accent or lingo. “How did @rasheeda do In her patois lesson 😂😂😂 🇯🇲”, Spice asked her 3.4M followers, many of whom agreed that “She kilt it!” or as one fittingly wrote, “She gwan wid harself eno 😂🔥🔥.”
The Marry Me singer breezed through “wah gwaan”, “right truu” and “yuh si mi a deal wid”, and Spice added that she even helped Rasheeda with the American version of the last phrase. “Translation is like……… “you know what time it is”…..you see what’s going on…..etc it’s like b—h you get it ……#Understand the levels,” Spice’s caption read.
The reality star earned the Queen’s approval nonetheless, as well as a “big up yuh self bad gyal Rasheeda,” before they got back to their girl’s night out.
Spice has been in socialite mode overseas lately, grabbing lunch with her good friend, Jamaican Member of Parliament, Lisa Hanna, and also attending rapper Trina’s Baddest Anniversary birthday party with the likes of Young Joc and Trick Daddy.
Though she appears to be living it up on her downtime, Spice is hard at work on her debut LP, TEN, which features Shaggy as Executive Producer and a historic collaboration with Mr. Boombastic and Grammy award-winning hitmaker, Sean Paul.
