Yung Berg Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood
Ward made his appearances in the first season of the VH1 show, Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood, a show that follows loosely the events in his fellow castmate, Hazel E‘s personal lives. However, it was later on November 7, 2014, announced by VH1 that they had fired Ward from the show due to arrest for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend, Masika Kalysha Tucker who also happened to be his fellow castmate.
“Based on the severity of the allegations against Yung Berg, VH1 is terminating its relationship with him in connection with Love & Hip Hop Hollywood, effective immediately,” the network posted on its website Friday (Nov. 7).
Berg’s girlfriend, Masika Tucker, said he “grabbed her by the neck, threw her onto the ground, dragged her by her hair and punched her in the face,” according to ABC.
Actually, it is said that Tucker was found with severe injuries—closed head injury, a broken nose and facial cuts that required stitches. The fight started after Berg’s credit card was declined during a night out, and the arrest occurred several hours after the taping of a reunion special for Love & Hip Hop Hollywood.
Despite all the headlines on his recent assault, the identity of Ward’s current girlfriend still hasn’t been revealed. He also hasn’t been sharing much info about his love life lately, which means the producer is keeping his romance on the down-low.
Yung Berg Children
According to various internet sources, the rapper is known to be the father of two children. In 2014, a woman, known as Brandy Flint, went public after an interview with one of the Internet sources, to disclose that Ward was responsible for their 10-year-old son, Taylor.
She went on to disclose that Taylor was not the only son he had and that she kept in touch with another woman other than the years who claimed to also have a son by the producer.
“He actually has 2 kids he doesn’t take care of, but I was the only mother that went out and got a child support order,” Brandy opened up.” “I keep in touch with the other mother, our kids are brothers and we have become friends due to this unfortunate situation. We have both been trying to get him to take responsibility to no avail. She never went to court but he is a deadbeat to both kids.”
Brandy also provided with a record of YEARS worth of documented court filings which reveal her struggle to get Berg to recognize the paternity of her son and pay child support as required by the State of Illinois.
“He owes me over $86,000 in back child support,” Brandy tells BOSSIP. ” My son is named Taylor, sweetest kid ever, he is 10. He hasn’t seen my son since he was a baby.”
In October 2015, Ward was cited $100K USD in back child support for his child with Brandy Flint. Two years later in December 2017, Ward was considered a delinquent parent by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Service, which was published information on his failure to pay child support. At the time, Ward’s amount owed in past-due child support is $104962 for a single child.

Why did Yung Berg Change his name?
In the late 2000s, the former MC, born Christian Ward, was a 5’6” fireball who cannoned his way into success with his syrupy club singles “The Business,” “Sexy Lady” and “Sexy Can I.” With a trio of top 40 Hot 100 singles in tow, Ward knew how to woo the ladies, even if he wasn’t your quintessential Loverboy.
“You know the running joke was — before I did a lot of crazy shit back in the day that hindered my career — I was Drake before Drake because I was doing all the R&B songs and was light-skin and shit,” the 33-year-old quips during our interview at Billboard’s Times Square offices. “That’s the joke when we’re in the studio.”
And like Drake, Ward had his fair share of battles, some which damn-near halted his music career. When WorldStar was becoming a vehicle in promoting controversy on-camera in 2008-2009, Ward found himself embroiled in some contentious feuds, including several physical altercations with rappers Trick Trick and Maino, with the former’s crew robbing him of his jewelry.
He even tangoed with Ne-Yo, after the singer threatened to give him a “three-finger slap.” Despite his talents, Ward’s name was sullied by his thoughtless quarrels, and because of that, the idea of committing to the moniker of Yung Berg no longer excited him.
“Everything just stopped and I watched the whole game turn against me,” remembers Ward. “I still had finances, I was still doing what I wanted to do, but, at the same time, there was like a pause that happened in my career. I don’t know, maybe it was because I came out early in the YouTube, WorldStar world or whatever where I took all the bullets for everybody.”
Then, in 2011, Ward’s chance at redemption came when he co-produced Lil Wayne’s Carter IV heater “John” featuring Rick Ross. The record not only earned him a Grammy nomination, but also a much-needed second opportunity at the music industry.
