In 2015, Bianca Bonnie was cast in VH1's Love & Hip Hop: New York, and stayed on as a regular in Season 7 and 8. Judging from her Instagram, Young B (although she goes by Bianca Bonnie these days) is still performing. On March 13, 2019, she headlined for the UNDR RVTD tour in New York.

Back in 2015, Bianca Bonnie sued her ex-promoter for trying to get 50 percent of her earnings from Love & Hip Hop. According to The Daily News, Bianca broke off contact with her ex-promoter Arthur Smith five years prior to the VH1 show airing. The feud escalated to the point where the producers for Love & Hope Hop told her if she didn't settle with Smith, they'd have to drop her from her lead spot. It's unclear whether (or how) the battle was ever resolved.

Bianca Bonnie still puts out new music, which you can listen to on Spotify. Her last full album, 10 Plus, came out in 2018, but she most recently released a single called "Celebration" (with DJ Did, featuring Reko) in July.
