Former Spice Girl Melanie B. and former VJ turned actress La La Anthony have had their fair share of personal drama. But when it comes to statements they make in public, they generally tend to keep things classy. But when the two appeared on TNT’s “Drop The Mic,” a show where two celebrities battle each other with bars and flow, the two ladies didn’t hold back. Shots were fired. And while both women seemed to maintain a decent attitude about everything, there were a few times when it seemed like toes might have been stepped on, despite the plastered smiles.
Check out the battle between Mel B. and La La and see who won vs. who the people thought should have taken home the trophy.
