The first episode of the newest Baddies USA season arrived, introducing a large group of returning favorites and new faces. The cast reveal on November 23 sparked immediate and passionate reactions on social media, with viewers both celebrating and criticizing the lineup choices.
A Divided Audience
Fans quickly took to social media platform X to share their opinions on the season premiere. While some were excited, many expressed that the large number of cast members made the first episode feel overstuffed. One fan commented, “They know they wrong for giving us what weak ahh episode. Took 54 min just to get the cast introduced. Got me all invested”.
The return of many OG cast members was a key point of discussion. Some viewers loved seeing familiar faces, with one fan posting, “& yall said we didn’t need the OG cast back. look at what we got tonight??”. Others felt the show focused too much on certain personalities, with a netizen reacting, “The last scene in the ep with JUST those girls is all we need as the Baddies cast. We do not want Rollie, Nat, Scotty and the other BGC girls”.
Meet the Baddies USA Cast
The premiere episode on the Zeus Network served to introduce the extensive cast for this “season of All-Stars.” The revealed cast includes both returning stars and new members.
Natalie Nunn described the season as featuring “the heavy hitters, the baddest b**ches, and the most popular baddies.” The full list includes *Natalie Nunn, Rollie, Scotty With The Body, Tommie Lee, Chrisean Rock, Ahna Mac, Diamond The Body, Sukihana, Biggie, Janelle, Tesehki, Mariah Lynn, Sapphire, Big Lex, Badd Dolly, Summer, Tinkaabellaaa, Fania, Tavii Babii, Kold Killa, Nunu, Smiley, Big Gretch, and DJ Sky High Baby*.
The episode also featured cameo appearances from other OG cast members like Judi Jai, Lo London, and Camilla during a special gathering.
Natalie Nunn’s Limited Screen Time
A significant moment in the premiere was the limited screen time for executive producer and cast member Natalie Nunn. She left a group meeting soon after “godmother” Tanisha Thomas arrived and did not appear for the remainder of the episode.
On her way out, Natalie stated, “Tanisha walks in, and I instantly get up because we all know Tanisha and her theatrics and her loud… just trying to do a whole bunch of stuff. I’m leaving because I don’t have time for this s**t right now.”
Fans widely appreciated her absence. One netizen commented, “Natalie not being on this episode is so refreshing omg!! She really brings negative energy”. Another fan added, “The best part of the episode… THE LITTLE OF NATALIE WE GOT. It just shows that we don’t need her on Baddies”.
Early Cast Conflicts Emerge
The premiere episode also set the stage for several conflicts among the cast members. Summer directly addressed her existing issues with fellow cast member Tesehki.
Summer stated firmly, “Btch, I don’t mind. do because I’m not backing out of no btch I’m gonna stand on that, and I’m not apologizing.” She explained the conflict started over a video that showed her cussing around children, which Tesehki and her sister had discussed.
Other cast members weighed in on the tension. Suki offered Summer advice, saying, “Mind your business, that’s not your business. And you know you can’t beat that girl. Why is you even, you know, respectfully back back get the f**k about that?”
Summer later went live on social media after the first episode aired, continuing to have words for Tesehki, indicating their disagreement is far from resolved.
