Series synopsis

Overview and casting

K. Michelle: My Life chronicles the everyday life of R&B/soul singer and songwriter K. Michelle.

Several members of K's inner circle appear as supporting cast members in confessional interview segments throughout the series. They include K's best friend Paris Phillips, her "gay husband", make-up artist and hair stylist Jonathan Fernandez, night club promoter Nema Kamar and Tracie Renee, K's old friend from Memphis, Tennessee, who is attempting to repair her relationship with K after allegedly stealing money from her. The first season ended with an epilogue, with K revealing that Paris allegedly stole money from her and they are no longer friends, and that she had also cut ties with Nema and Tracee. K's son Chase Bowman, her mother Angles Pate, life coach Tony Gaskins, Arsenio Hall, Joseline Hernandez, Karlie Redd and Russell Simmons made guest appearances.

The show returned for a second season, with P. London, an aspiring rapper, joining the cast. London made headlines in 2014 when a female police officer was suspended for appearing in her music video "What's Up, Bitch?". The season featured guest appearances from K's on-again, off-again boyfriend Bobby Maze, his aunt Aunt CC, Trina, producers Pop & Oak, Safaree Samuels, Prince Mario Max Schaumburg-Lippe and Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta's Jessica Dime.

The show was renewed for a third season, with K's sister Shalah Pate, an aspiring motivational speaker and social worker, joining the cast. K. Michelle announced on social media that it would be her last.[3] The season featured guest appearances from K's ex-girlfriend Melisia Lomax, her boyfriend Dr. Kastan Sims, high school friend Viara Iyadunni, her father Eddie Pate, her artist Gabby Green, T-Pain, Harmony Samuels, Dreezy and Big Tigger. The show ended with its series finale on February 6, 2017.
