PREVIOUSLY ON

LOVE AND HIP-HOP: ATLANTA...

YOU LEFT HIM FOR DEAD.

YOU LEFT HIM FOR DEAD!

YOU LEFT MY CHILD FOR DEAD.

I WAS ALREADY LOOKING FOR HER

TO SHOW ME MORE,

AND THAT'S SHOWING YOU.

IT'S WILD OUT MAGIC.

IT'S DONE.

I'M NOT GONNA START

BABYSITTING SCRAPPY

BECAUSE HE GOT WASTED

THE NIGHT BEFORE.

AND ACTION.

WHERE ARE YOU?

BUSINESS PUTS A LOT

OF PRESSURE AND A LOT OF STRESS

ON KIRK AND I'S RELATIONSHIP.

I'M HERE

BUT I'M REALLY NOT HERE,

AND ME AND YOU AIN'T HERE.

YOU'RE LOOKING GOOD, MAMI.

I'M ROCKING WITH YOU

TILL THE WHEELS FALL OFF.

IT'S ME AND YOU.

YOU ROCKING WITH ME?

I AM.

[horn honking]

CAN'T NOBODY TELL ME [bleep]

ABOUT YOU, ESPECIALLY NO BITCH

THAT'S ONLY KNOWN YOU

FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS.

AND YOU TELL THAT [bleep]

IF SHE THREATEN ME AGAIN,

WE GONNA HAVE PROBLEMS.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

IF JOSELINE FEELS COMFORTABLE

ENOUGH TO THREATEN ME OVER TEXT,

IT'S OBVIOUS THEY'RE STILL

[bleep].

I AM OVER KARLIE.

BRING IT DOWN

'CAUSE MY HEAD'LL START SPINNING

AND I'LL CHOP YOU IN YOUR

TRA-CU-LA.

TRY IT; TRY IT.

DON'T SHAKE

UNLESS YOU READY TO GET SHOOK.

GIVE IT TO ME, BABY.

WHAT'S GOOD, MA?

WHAT'S UP, BABE?

HEY, MAN, HOW ARE YOU?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

LOOKING AT YOUR OUTFIT.

ADMIRING YOUR OUTFIT.

WHAT IS THIS?

IT'S A TROPICAL OUTFIT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "WHAT IS IT?"

I DON'T WANT TO WASTE NO TIME

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING

PLAYING NO GAMES

WHEN I KNOW HOW YOU SHOULD LOOK.

I'M JUST SAYING,

HIGH FASHION FLY.

I DON'T KNOW--

I NEED A MINUTE, THOUGH.

YOU NEED A MINUTE FOR WHAT?

WE CAN'T HAVE THIS CONVERSATION

LATER ON?

'CAUSE IF YOU HAD A PROBLEM

WITH IT, YOU SHOULD'VE SAID THAT

WITH QUEEN WHEN YOU HAD

THE CHANCE.

CHILL, RELAX.

DID HE NOT TELL YOU--

LISTEN, THIS IS MY BRAND.

I'M TRYING TO BUILD YOU

AS A BRAND TOO.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING.

AT THE END OF THE DAY,

THIS AIN'T--THIS AIN'T WHAT'S

GONNA SELL IT.

THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.

STEVIE, REALLY I BELIEVE

THAT HE'S JEALOUS OF ME

IN A WAY.

THIS IS WHY YOU ALWAYS END UP

BACK WITH MIMI 'CAUSE SHE'S

SO INSECURE WITH HERSELF.

YOU TWO ARE TWO INSECURE

CRAZY PEOPLE THAT JUST

NEED TO BE TOGETHER.

I NEED TO TALK TO YOU

ABOUT SOMETHING, THOUGH.

WHAT'S UP?

YOU TEXT MY BABY MAMA?

YOU DAMN [bleep] RIGHT.

I DON'T LIKE THE BITCH

AND I'D TEXT HER AGAIN.

WOW, THAT'S HOW YOU FEEL?

THAT'S HOW I'M FEELING,

AND THAT'S HOW

I'M GONNA ALWAYS FEEL.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'M GONNA

TELL YOU SOMETHING.

SO WHAT'S UP?

I'MA TELL YOU SOMETHING.

DON'T EVER CALL THAT BITCH,

AND STAY IN YOUR PLACE.

SHE'S THE BITCH.

STAY IN YOUR PLACE.

SHE'S A BITCH.

SO WHAT ARE YOU?

SHE'S A BITCH.

I'M A BITCH TOO.

ALL RIGHT.

I AIN'T TRIPPIN' ABOUT ME

BEING A BITCH, THOUGH.

DON'T DISRESPECT MY FAMILY.

[bleep] HER.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING.

[bleep] HER.

I WOULDN'T--

[bleep] HER.

I'M SUPPOSED TO BE WITH STEVIE.

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE

IN A RELATIONSHIP.

AND EVERY TIME HE'S WITH ME,

SHE'LL CALL HIM AND,

"JOSELINE, AND [bleep]

THAT BITCH" AND THIS AND THAT.

SO I TEXTED LIKE,

"BITCH, FOR REAL?

SAY MY NAME ONE MORE TIME

AND THAT'S GONNA BE YOUR ASS."

THAT'S WHAT REALLY WENT ON.

IF YOU SO WORRIED ABOUT MIMI,

GO BE WITH MIMI.

WHY YOU OVER HERE?

'CAUSE SHE HAS MY DAUGHTER.

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

THAT SHOULD BE RESPECTABLE.

DON'T THREATEN MY FAMILY.

JOSELINE, IF YOU THINK

YOU CAN DO THAT AND GET AWAY

WITH IT, YOU'RE SADLY MISTAKEN.

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

BECAUSE I'M SAVING

YOUR CAREER.

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

I'M SAVING YOUR CAREER.

HOW ARE YOU SAVING MY CAREER?

YOU WANT TO SUICIDE?

HOW YOU SAVING MY CAREER?

YOU GONNA HAVE

A CAREER SUICIDE.

OKAY, GOOD-BYE.

ALL RIGHT, GOOD-BYE.

BYE-BYE.

DAVE, YOU WANT TO CARRY ON

YOU CAN.

I WOULDN'T EVEN TAKE PICTURES

IF I WAS YOU, YOU KNOW

WHAT I'M SAYING?

BYE.

IT'S NOT A GOOD LOOK FOR YOU.

YOU HAVIN' A NICE DAY.

SEE YOU LATER.

GO BE WITH MIMI, GOOD-BYE.

JUST DO YOUR THING, BABY.

SOME PEOPLE JUST DON'T KNOW

GOOD THING UNTIL THE WORLD

SEE IT.

AND HE JUST DON'T GET IT.

JUST...

STRIKE SOME POSES.

GIVE IT TO ME, BABY.

THIS IS FASHION.

HI.

OH, HEY.

HOW YOU DOING, PRETTY GIRL?

I HEARD FROM SCRAPPY,

AND HE'S EXCITED

THAT HE'S SEEING SHAY RIGHT NOW.

I THOUGHT I'D JUST INVITE HER

OUT FOR LUNCH FACE-TO-FACE

A LITTLE GIRL TALK--

A LITTLE MOMMA TIME.

SO WHAT'S BEEN UP, MOMMA DEE?

NO, I KNOW Y'ALL BEEN

SPENDING A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER

LATELY.

YEAH.

SO YOU KNOW MOMMA WANT

HER TIME TOO.

I'M JEALOUS.

DON'T BE.

I'M SO JEALOUS.

DON'T BE.

I KNOW THAT MOMMA DEE IS

VERY, VERY EXTREMELY

OVERPROTECTIVE ABOUT HER SON.

SO IF I DON'T GET IN GOOD

WITH MOMMA DEE,

I'M NOT IN GOOD WITH SCRAPPY.

WE HAVE A RELATIONSHIP THAT'S

A LITTLE BEYOND FRIENDSHIP.

SO Y'ALL CLEARLY HAVE

STEPPED UP.

BUT, BUT, BUT, BUT

THERE'S NO TITLE.

I'M NOT TRYING TO RUSH.

WE HAVE A MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING.

WE COMMUNICATE VERY WELL.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

SO I KNOW WHAT HE WANTS.

HE KNOWS WHAT I WANT.

AND BECAUSE THE SITUATION

WAS SO SENSITIVE,

I AM NOT TRYING TO RUSH THAT

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT

TO GET HURT, BUT I'M SO--

BECAUSE YOU KNOW

HIM AND ERICA--

THEY'RE NOT REALLY AT THE PLACE

WHERE THEY WERE, AND SHE'S

CLEARLY UNCARING.

I MEAN, THERE WAS AN INCIDENT

THAT HE GOT SICK AND HAD

A REAL BAD ASTHMA ATTACK.

HE CALLED ME.

YEAH, AND THE BITCH JUST

LEFT MY SON FOR DEAD.

HOW DO YOU LOVE A MAN

AND LEAVE HIM FOR DEAD?

HER ANSWER WAS,

"WELL, HE DIDN'T DIE."

IF I LOVED A MAN,

DO YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD JUST

WALK OFF AND HE CAN'T BREATHE?

HE TURNING BLUE?

HOW DID ERICA GET OVER THERE

TO EVEN BE IN THE POSITION

TO TAKE HIM TO THE HOSPITAL?

I DON'T KNOW.

ALL I KNOW IS ABOUT 6:00

SOMETHING A.M., SHE CALLED.

I DON'T KNOW.

ALL I KNOW--

SO SHE WAS DROPPING THE BABY

OFF OR SHE WAS ALREADY THERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

SCRAPPY RIGHT NOW IS

TELLING ME THAT THE RELATIONSHIP

BETWEEN HE AND ERICA

IS NONEXISTENT.

ANYTHING BEYOND THAT POINT

IS GONNA BE A DEFINITELY

MOTHER[bleep] PROBLEM.

YOU THINK SHE'LL HAVE A PROBLEM

WITH ME?

SHE WANTS HIM HAPPY CLEARLY.

BUT IF IT AIN'T WITH HER,

UH-UH, HELL NO.

I'M TELLING YOU NOW

BOTH OF YOUR ROADS

ARE GONNA CROSS.

JUST BE READY WHEN IT COMES.

THERE'S NO PREPARATION.

IT IS WHAT IT IS.

WELL, DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.

I ALREADY KNOW YOU GONNA HAVE

TO CHECK THE BITCH

SOONER OR LATER.

I MEAN, SHE MIGHT--

SHE MIGHT COME AND RESPECT ME.

YOU GOT TO CHECK THAT BITCH.

[bleep] THAT.

WE CAN HANDLE THIS

LIKE TWO WOMEN

OR WE CAN GET INTO SOME

GANGSTA [bleep].

MOMMA DEE,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?

[laughs]

HEY, WHAT'S UP, MAMA?

HEY, KARLIE.

HOW ARE YOU?

I PASSED UP THAT SITUATION.

MY FRIENDSHIPS--I SEE THEM

LIKE THIS.

IF YOU AND I WERE CLOSE

BACK IN L.A., NO MATTER YOU AT--

WHAT CITY YOU AT--

I'MA HAVE YOUR BACK.

AND I FEEL LIKE

YOU SHOULD'VE CAME AND SAID,

"YO, K.MICHELLE

GOT BEEF WITH YOU."

I DIDN'T KNOW K.MICHELLE HAD

BEEF WITH YOU.

ME AND MIMI USED TO BE CLOSE

BACK IN THE DAYS IN L.A.

I JUST FEEL LIKE SHE LET ME DOWN

THE OTHER DAY.

LIKE, YOU KNEW K.MICHELLE

WANTED TO FIGHT.

WHY YOU AIN'T HAD MY BACK?

I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS GONNA

START BLASTING ME ABOUT--

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT EITHER.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT EITHER,

KARLIE.

I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW

K.MICHELLE HANDLES HER [bleep].

RIGHT, BUT--

SO YOU DIDN'T KNOW

SHE WAS ANGRY.

I KNEW SHE HAD A ISSUE

WITH YOU, BUT OF COURSE,

I THOUGHT YOU KNEW ABOUT IT.

CLEARLY YOU HAVE TO KNOW YOU

AND K.MICHELLE HAVE AN ISSUE.

I MEAN, EVERYBODY ELSE KNOWS.

HOW COME YOU DON'T KNOW?

SHOT THROWING,

SILVERWARE THROWING.

NOW YOU GOT ISSUES.

OH, YEAH, WE GOT BEEF NOW.

WE GOT SOME SITUATIONS

RIGHT NOW.

CLEARLY.

EITHER TALK TO ME

LIKE AN ADULT

OR PUT YOUR HANDS UP

LIKE AN ADULT.

K.MICHELLE HANDLES HER THINGS

THE WAY SHE HANDLES 'EM.

I HANDLE MINE HOW I HANDLE MINE.

AND I'MA HANDLE MINE LIKE

HOW I HANDLE MINE

WHEN I SEE HER.

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT.

THAT TO THE SIDE--

I'M JUST UNCLEAR ON, YOU KNOW,

I KNOW YOU ASKED TO WORK

WITH STEVIE.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW

WHAT'S GOING ON.

OH, BY THE WAY, I HAVE

SOMETHING TO TELL YOU

ABOUT THAT.

I MET WITH STEVIE.

STEVIE SAID, "I WANT YOU TO DO

A SONG WITH JOSELINE."

THERE'S A WHOLE LOT GOING ON

BETWEEN STEVIE AND I.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW OR NOT.

STEVIE'S GOTTEN JOSELINE

PREGNANT.

IT'S JUST A WHOLE LOT GOING ON.

I GUESS WHAT I WAS SAYING

WAS TRUE.

YEAH, IT WAS VERY TRUE.

WAS VERY TRUE.

MM-HMM.

WHAT?

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY NOW?

OH, YOU FEEL STUPID.

OH, YOU'RE HURT.

I TRIED TO WARN YOU.

I'M NOT GONNA BE IN THE MIDDLE

BETWEEN Y'ALL'S [bleep].

AND I NEVER ASKED YOU TO.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE

IN THE MIDDLE OF ANYTHING.

ACTUALLY, THERE'S NOTHING

TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF.

I SEE YOU AND HER BECOMING

FRIENDS AND IT BEING SOME WHOLE

OTHER [bleep].

YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE I'M

COMING FROM.

POLITICS-WISE, THIS IS BUSINESS.

I GET IT, KARLIE.

GOT TO DO WHAT YOU GOT TO DO,

RIGHT?

YOU KNOW WHAT?

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

HERE'S MY NEW VIDEO

AND MY NEW SINGLE: MARRY ME.

[cheers and applause]

JOSELINE--

LIKE, SHE THREATENED BABY MOM.

WHY WOULD SHE BE FLIPPING OUT

AND SENDING THREATS, LIKE,

FOR WHAT?

ARE Y'ALL STILL [bleep] AROUND?

HI, HOW ARE YOU?

I'M HERE FOR LUMPY.

HEY.

SIT DOWN.

KARLIE CALLED ME UP TO COME

DOWN THERE TO SEE HER

TO DISCUSS THE SITUATION.

I MEAN, SHE'S 30 YEARS OLDER

THAN ME.

SHE SHOULD BE THE MATURE ONE.

SO I SAID, "WHAT THE HECK?

I'LL GO DOWN THERE,

'CAUSE THAT SPIRIT IS NOT

WALKING INTO MY HOUSE."

THE INDUSTRY IS VERY,

VERY SMALL.

AND THE THINGS THAT THEY--

I'VE HEARD IN THE INDUSTRY

THAT, YOU KNOW,

"K.MICHELLE'S A LITTLE CUCKOO.

SHE BE GOING OFF."

YOU KNOW, AND THE WAY YOU CAME

AT ME AT THE RESTAURANT--

THAT WASN'T COOL.

THAT WAS MEMPHIS.

IT WASN'T COOL TO A LOT

OF PEOPLE.

MY MAMA RAISED ME,

"TALK [bleep], YOU GET HIT,"

AND THAT'S WHAT IT--

THAT'S HOW I CAME.

I COULD EVEN UNDERSTAND IF

SHE WAS A RAPPER AND SHE WAS

COMING AT ME ON SOME, LIKE,

BULLY [bleep].

LIKE, "HUH, I'M A RAPPER."

BITCH, YOU'RE A [bleep]

R&B SINGER.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO MAKE LOVE.

ALL I KNOW IS WHEN WE WAS

AT MY BIRTHDAY PARTY

I COULDN'T ENJOY IT.

THEN I'M HEARING YOU TALKING

ABOUT ME ON MY SHOWCASE.

THE WHOLE MESS IS COMING

FROM KARLIE.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

WELL, FIRST OF ALL,

ALL THAT "HE SAID, SHE SAID,"

I DON'T DO.

IN THIS INDUSTRY, AT SOME POINT

YOU HAVE TO BE CLASSY.

YOUR CLASSY AIN'T MY CLASSY.

LET ME TALK.

BUT YOU TELLING ME SOMETHING

THAT'S--I DON'T CARE ABOUT.

I'M MORE SEASONED IN THIS GAME

THAN YOU.

THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK, BABY.

YOU DON'T KNOW ME.

IF YOU SHOW ME THE RECEIPTS--

I LOOKED FOR YOUR RECEIPTS.

WHEN I GOOGLED YOUR NAME,

A VINEGAR POPPED UP.

A BRAND OF VINEGAR.

CUT IT OUT, PERIOD.

IT'S A WRAP.

K.MICHELLE DOES NOT HAVE

THE ABILITY OF HAVING ANY

ADULT CONVERSATION.

I BROUGHT YOU HERE ON SOME

GROWN-ASS WOMAN [bleep]

AND YOU'RE ACTING LIKE A CHILD.

I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS

CHILDISH [bleep].

BACK TO MY SHOOT.

LET'S GO.

ONE CHEEK, LUMP.

LUMP, LUMP, WALK SAD.

YEAH, WHATEVER.

GET THE [bleep] OUT!

THAT'S HOW I DO IT.

I LIKE YOUR PINK DRESS.

GIRL, I HAD TO COME OVER HERE

TO ASK YOU, GIRL.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ABOUT

YESTERDAY?

HE JUST COMPLETELY TRYING

JUST DESTROY YOU AT THE MOMENT.

I WAS LIKE,

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM?"

MY FRIEND QUEEN WAS AT

THE PHOTO SHOOT WHEN STEVIE

WENT CRAZY ABOUT ME TEXTING

MIMI.

STEVIE'S GETTING REALLY,

REALLY NERVOUS 'CAUSE HE'S

LOSING CONTROL OF MY NECK.

YOU KNOW, HE TRY TO KEEP ME

ON THE CHOKE HOLD,

BUT I'M DONE WITH THAT.

SO IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW,

HE'S TRIPPING.

YOU KNOW, AT THE PHOTO SHOOT,

HE'S LIKE, "YOU CHECKING ME

ABOUT YOUR BABY MAMA."

YOU CAN'T CHECK ME.

I'M YOUR GIRL NOW.

EXACTLY.

I'M SUPPOSED TO BE

YOUR GIRL NOW.

EXACTLY.

SO YOU NEED TO CHECK HER.

YOU NEED TO TELL HER TO STOP

BLOWING UP YOUR PHONE AT

7:00, 8:00 IN THE MORNING.

OH, NO.

I'M DONE WITH IT.

I DON'T NEED TO TAKE NOBODY MAN.

GIRL, I CAN GET MY OWN MAN.

[scoffs] OOH!

YOU SAY WHAT MY TATTOO SAY.

"MAN EATER."

I EAT--I EAT THEM ALIVE

SO YOU CAN HAVE THAT.

BUT I WANT TO APOLOGIZE TO HER

BECAUSE HE'S A LITTLE LIAR

AND HE'S TRYING TO CONTROL EVERY

SITUATION.

SO HE CAN BE TELLING HER

THEY TOGETHER.

YOU KNOW, SHE DON'T KNOW

NO BETTER.

THE PROBLEM IS STEVIE

AND HIS LYING ASS.

THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

YOU JUST WANT TO LIE.

YOU WANT TO KEEP

THE BOTH OF US.

HE WANT TO [bleep] HER,

[bleep] ME,

[bleep] ARIANE,

[bleep] MY FRIEND.

HE WANT TO [bleep] EVERYBODY.

HE'S JUST A RABBIT.

HE'S NOT GONNA WORK WITH ME

UNLESS I BE WITH HIM.

HE ALREADY MADE THAT CLEAR

TO ME AND I CAN SEE IT,

BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WORK FOR ME

UNLESS I'M WITH HIM.

SO I HAVE TO DO WHAT I HAVE

TO DO TO MAKE SURE THAT

MY CAREER KEEPS GOING ON.

SO I WENT BEHIND HIS BACK.

HE DON'T KNOW THAT I WENT

TO GO SEE THE PRODUCERS.

BUT YOU WENT BEHIND HIS BACK?

YOU IS [bleep] CRAZY.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

YOU WENT BEHIND HIS BACK.

I WENT BEHIND HIS BACK.

THAT MOTHER[bleep]'S

GONNA GO BALLISTIC.

HE IS GONNA GO [bleep] CRAZY.

THAT'S WHY I CHANGED

MY NUMBER, SO HE WON'T BE ABLE--

IF HE HEARS, HE WON'T EVEN

BE ABLE TO CALL ME.

I COULD REALLY WORK WITH

ANY PRODUCER THAT I WANT

TO WORK WITH.

IT'S NOT REALLY JUST ABOUT ME

WORKING WITH STEVIE.

LIKE, STEVIE'S COOL

AND EVERYTHING.

MY SUCCESS WILL NOT BE

DETERMINED BY STEVIE J.

HE LEFT SOME CLOTHES HERE,

ALL OF THOSE BOTTLES OF CIROC.

I'M GONNA BRING IT ALL TO HER.

"YOU KNOW, TAKE IT TO YOUR MAN.

HAVE HIM."

I CAN'T--I CAN'T DEAL WITH HIM

ANYMORE.

I DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH HIM

ANYMORE.

[hip-hop music]

UM...

KIRK PROMISED ME THAT

THIS LAUNCH PARTY WAS GONNA

BE OFF THE CHAIN.

HE HAD EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL.

I DIDN'T HAVE NOTHING

TO WORRY ABOUT,

AND THIS PARTY WAS GONNA

BE PACKED.

BUT GUESS WHAT.

IT AIN'T.

YOU WAS TELLING ME,

"HOLD TIGHT, I GOT--

THIS IS WHAT WE GONNA DO."

I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE

BEEN INVOLVED IN ORDER FOR

IT TO MAYBE TURN OUT RIGHT.

SO YOU THINK I'M SUPPOSED

TO HOLD PEOPLE HAND AND BRING

THEM IN HERE?

PEOPLE GONNA BE THERE--

NO, BUT WHAT YOU SUPPOSED

TO DO--YOU SUPPOSED TO OVERSEE

YOURSELF AND EVERYBODY WHO'S

SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING YOU

PUT THIS TOGETHER

SO THAT ULTIMATELY IT CAN BE

A GOOD LOOK.

WHY DOES IT ALWAYS

I GOT NO PROBLEM

LOOKING IN YOUR EYES.

YEAH, MAN, I WANT TO

CLEAR THINGS UP WITH ERICA, MAN.

YOU KNOW, I MEAN, HELL,

ME AND ERICA--

WE GOT A BABY TOGETHER.

MM-HMM, I'M GOOD.

JUST CAME OVER HERE

TO GET THE COUCH.

TOLD ME TO GET IT,

AND I WANT TO COME HOLLA

AT YOU ABOUT A LITTLE

CONVERSATION WE HAD

THE OTHER DAY.

IT WAS HEATED,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

I THINK I SAID THE RIGHT THING

IN THE WRONG WAY,

AND I DON'T WANT TO RUIN US

PERMANENTLY.

NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES

AND WHERE HE GOES--

SOMEHOW, SOME WAY, IT COMES BACK

AROUND TO WHERE HE NEEDS ME

AND I KNOW WHAT'S COMING.

PUT YOURSELF IN MY SHOES.

ONE MINUTE YOU WANT TO BE

WITH ME, ONE MINUTE YOU DON'T.

IT'S LIKE YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

THAT'S PLAYING WITH SOMEBODY'S

EMOTIONS.

SO YOU CAN'T HELP BUT UNDERSTAND

HOW I FEEL.

I AIN'T TRYING TO PLAY

WITH YOU--YOUR EMOTIONS.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK

YOU DOING THOUGH?

I DON'T LIKE HOW WE BE.

THAT'S 'CAUSE YOU

HOT AND COLD.

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE--

SO I KEEP MY DISTANCE--

YEAH, I HAVE MY DAYS.

BUT IN THE SAME BREATH,

I COME AND STILL SHOW YOU LOVE.

LIKE, I KNOW I SHOW IT

AND YOU KNOW THAT.

IT WASN'T A LOT, YOU FEEL ME?

IT WASN'T WHAT I WAS

LOOKING FOR.

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU WANTED

WHEN YOU WANTED IT.

RIGHT, ANYWAY

HOPEFULLY IF YOU TAKE ME BACK IN

ONE DAY TO WHEN MY HEAD RIGHT

OR WHENEVER I FEEL LIKE I'M--

YOU SEE, THAT'S THE THING.

IT'S NOT WHEN YOU WANT TO BE

WITH ME, SCRAPPY.

LIKE I TOLD YOU BEFORE,

WHEN WE TALKED

AND YOU WERE HERE

AND WE SAID WE WERE GONNA

MOVE FORWARD,

I TOLD YOU, LIKE,

YOU HAD NO ROOM TO MESS UP,

NO ROOM FOR ERROR.

WHEN DID I MESS UP?

UM, THE CHEATING, THE GAMES,

THE DIFFERENT FEMALES.

THAT CHAPTER OF MY LIFE

IS CLOSED.

I MEAN, I DO LOVE YOU,

YOU FEEL ME?

I DON'T HATE YOU OR NOTHING.

I DON'T SEE NO REASON TO,

AND I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY.

I FEEL THAT.

AND ON ANOTHER NOTE

'CAUSE I KNOW I LOVE YOU,

YOU LOVE ME,

AND WE KEEP IT REAL.

YOU FEEL ME.

IS YOU STILL GONNA LOOK OUT

FOR ME ON THAT CHILD SUPPORT

PAPERWORK?

HIS TIMING IS HORRIBLE.

SCRAPPY JUST HAS BAD TIMING

ALL THE WAY AROUND,

BECAUSE I JUST SIT HERE

AND TOLD, YOU KNOW, TOLD YOU,

LIKE, THAT CHAPTER OF MY LIFE

IS CLOSED, AND THEN YOU LIKE,

"OH, OKAY, WELL,

ONE THING BEFORE I LEAVE.

YOU GONNA TAKE ME OFF

CHILD SUPPORT?"

YEAH, I SAID I WOULD DO--

THAT WAS THEN.

THAT WAS BEFORE I ASKED YOU--

I SAID, "JUST GIVE ME SOMETHING

TO PUT UP FOR EMANI."

THAT'S ALL I ASKED YOU TO DO

IS GIVE ME SOMETHING TO PUT UP

FOR EMANI.

WHAT YOU MEAN,

PUT UP FOR EMANI?

I SHOWED YOU THE MONEY

I PUT UP FOR HER.

SHE HAS TWO SEPARATE ACCOUNTS

AND I SHOWED YOU THAT.

AND I SAID,

"WELL, WHAT YOU GOT GOING?"

YOU WAS LIKE, "WELL, I KNOW

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING.

I'MA DO THIS; I'MA DO THAT."

I'M LIKE, "OKAY, WELL,

LET ME SEE BECAUSE WE KNOW

WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME--"

BUT I TAKE CARE OF

MY DAUGHTER THOUGH.

JUST 'CAUSE I DIDN'T DO IT

THIS TIME--YOUR WAY,

WHEN YOU WANTED TO DO IT.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M SAYING.

'CAUSE I CAN STILL DO IT

TOMORROW.

WELL, I TEXTED YOU LAST WEEK

AND I ASKED YOU FOR SOME MONEY,

AND I STILL HAVE YET

TO RECEIVE IT.

I DIDN'T GET AROUND TO IT.

I WAS GONE A LOT.

IS THAT REALLY IT?

YOU JUST DIDN'T

GET AROUND TO IT?

YEAH.

OH, OKAY.

I JUST WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND

WHAT YOU SAYING, AND I WANT TO

UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU SAYING.

YOU FEEL ME?

I'M SAYING I'M NOT GONNA

TAKE YOU OFF CHILD SUPPORT,

BECAUSE WHEN I'VE ASKED YOU TO

DO THINGS FOR EMANI IN THE PAST,

YOU HAVEN'T DONE IT.

NO, I PUT ON THE [bleep].

CONSIDERING IT'S MY HOUSE

ABSOLUTELY.

I GOT NO PROBLEM

LOOKING IN YOUR EYES.

TRUST ME.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

THOUGH.

THANK YOU.

WHEN I WALKED INTO BENZINO'S

HOUSE, IT WAS SO ROMANTIC.

BENZINO JUST--HE KNEW...

HE KNEW WHAT TO DO.

HE HAS A CANDLELIGHT DINNER,

WHICH HE COOKED HIMSELF.

LOVE IS DEFINITELY IN THE AIR.

ARE YOU DATING A BUNCH OF WOMEN

RIGHT NOW?

NO, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,

I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT

ANYMORE.

I WANT BE A--

I WANT TO BE A ONE-WOMAN GUY.

I KNOW I COULD BE.

YOU THINK SO?

OF COURSE, COME ON.

LIKE, LOOK AT YOU.

LOOK AT HOW BEAUTI--

HOW COME YOU AIN'T GOT A MAN?

[laughs]

WELL, I WAS SEEING SOMEONE

AND IT DIDN'T WORK OUT.

HOW COME?

FOR ME, I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE

HE WAS SUPPORTIVE OF MY CAREER.

ANTONIO AND I--OUR CONVERSATION,

IT JUST--IT WOULDN'T MATCH UP.

I NEED SOMEONE TO SAY, "OKAY,

YOU KNOW WHAT, I GOT YOUR BACK.

LET'S BUILD AN EMPIRE TOGETHER."

THAT'S WHAT I'M ABOUT.

SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE

IN ATLANTA?

STARTING A NEW MAGAZINE

CALLED HIP-HOP WEEKLY.

HOW'S THAT GOING?

REALLY WELL, THANK YOU.

REALLY?

YOU KNOW, I BEEN THROUGH

A LOT, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS,

LIKE, THE INDUSTRY GOES.

TELL EM ABOUT IT.

I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH ON YOU.

FOR REAL?

YEAH, THE FEEDBACK--

IT WAS NOT GREAT, BUT I'M LIKE,

YOU JUST SEEMED LIKE SUCH

A NICE GUY.

I MEAN, I WAS RAISED WELL,

YOU KNOW.

LIKE MY MOTHER AND FATHER,

YOU KNOW, TAUGHT ME WELL

AS FAR AS MORALS AND,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING,

VALUES.

YEAH.

YOU KNOW, YOU SIT DOWN,

YOU GET TO KNOW SOMEBODY,

HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM,

GO OUT WITH THEM,

AND THEN, YOU KNOW,

THEN YOU CAN DECIDE

IF YOU LIKE THAT PERSON A LOT.

ABSOLUTELY.

I MEAN, YOU'RE, LIKE,

SUPER BEAUTIFUL.

SO LIKE, WHEN I SEEN YOU,

OF COURSE, YOU KNOW,

THE ATTRACTION WAS THERE,

BUT JUST TALKING TO YOU--

YOU'RE MAKING ME BLUSH.

NO, BUT IT'S VERY SWEET

AND YOU'RE HUMBLE.

THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT.

AND I'M PROBABLY MORE NERVOUS

DEFINITELY SITTING HERE.

TRUST ME.

[laughs]

TRUTH, YEAH.

HOW DO I KNOW YOU'RE NOT

RUNNING GAME?

HONESTLY, LIKE, EVER SINCE,

YOU KNOW, THAT DAY

WHEN I MET YOU,

I JUST--I CAN'T STOP THINKING

ABOUT YOU.

THAT'S CRAZY BECAUSE EVER

SINCE I MET YOU,

YOU'VE BEEN ON MY MIND.

THAT'S GOOD.

SO I CAN SEE YOU A LOT?

ABSOLUTELY.

LIKE, I HAVEN'T FELT THIS WAY

IN A LONG TIME.

I'M LOVING THE FACT THAT

A MAN FEELS LIKE I'M THE ONE

FOR HIM.

THAT'S A GOOD FEELING.

I REMEMBER YOU SAID THAT

YOU LIKED FILMMAKING

AND DIRECTING.

SO I GOT--IT'S A BOOK.

IT'S CALLED THE FILM BOOK:

THE COMPLETE GUIDE

TO THE WORLD OF CINEMA.

WOW.

OKAY, AND SOME GODIVAS.

YOU DID NOT HAVE TO.

IT'S JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING

DEFINITELY.

THANK YOU.

*SOMETIMES WE FALL ♪

♪ I FOUND MY ANGEL

♪

SO...

* I FOUND MY ANGEL

HEY, HEY, HEY.

HEY.

LOOK AT YOU, HONEY.

HOW YOU DOING?

GIRL, I WISH I COULD SAY

GOOD.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

I DECIDED TO INVITE

K.MICHELLE OUT 'CAUSE I WANTED

TO TALK TO HER ABOUT

A FEW THINGS THAT WAS GOING ON

WITH ME AND KIRK.

I REALLY DON'T WANT TO CONTINUE

TO ARGUE WITH HIM ALL THE TIME.

I WANT US TO GET ON

A COMMON GROUND.

SO THERE'S A COUPLE THINGS

I THINK I NEED TO THINK ABOUT.

ME AND KIRK HAVE BEEN GOING

THROUGH SO MUCH.

WHEN WE TALKING ABOUT BUSINESS,

IT'S JUST STRAIGHT,

"BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH."

JUST GOING HAM ON EACH OTHER.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF

BACK AND FORTH.

A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH.

LIKE, HE CAME AT ME WITH THIS

IDEA LIKE, "I WANT TO DO

THIS LAUNCH PARTY.

I WANT SOME HEAVY HITTERS

TO COME."

BUT I GET THERE AND IT'S LIKE

HALF-ASS.

SEE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU

WANTED OR I DON'T KNOW

WHAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

I JUST WANTED WHAT I WAS

TOLD: THAT THERE WAS GONNA BE

KEY PEOPLE THERE.

YOU KNOW, IT CAN'T BE JUST

ME AND HIM

TRYING TO MAKE MY CAREER.

YOU NEED A TEAM.

I NEED A TEAM.

SO I'M GOING TO HAVE A MEETING

WITH OUTSIDE MANAGEMENT.

OOH, OH.

I'M JUST TAKING A MEETING.

ARE YOU TELLING HIM

YOU GOING, THOUGH?

NOT UNTIL AFTER THE FACT.

I WANT TO DO THIS

FOR THE BETTER OF US PERSONALLY,

BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, GIRL,

WHEN I TELL YOU THE PLACE

WE AT--I'M TALKING ABOUT

WE GOING IN EVERY OTHER DAY.

AND I'M LIKE, "YOU KNOW WHAT?

TO SAVE MY MARRIAGE,

GOD DAMN IT, LET ME GO

TALK TO SOMEBODY ELSE."

RASHEEDA IS SO BLESSED

TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY,

A HUSBAND THAT LOVES HER.

I WOULD REALLY HATE FOR HER

TO MESS THAT ALL UP

TO BE A PART OF THIS DIRTY

TRIFLING MUSIC INDUSTRY.

THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL THING

TO HAVE SOMEBODY THAT ALWAYS

IS GONNA CARE.

LIKE, I DATE MEN.

MEN COME, THEY GO.

WHEN IT COMES TO

A RELATIONSHIP,

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I WANT A MAN THAT I WANT

MY CHILD TO GROW UP LIKE.

I WANT TO LOVE AGAIN.

I JUST WANT TO BE HAPPY

WITH THAT MAN, YOU KNOW

WHAT I'M SAYING?

IT COMES A POINT IN TIME

WHERE YOU DESERVE

ALL OF THE THINGS THAT

YOU WANT,

AND NOW IS THE TIME TO START

WORKING AT THOSE THINGS.

I'M TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT.

IT'S HARD TO DEAL WITH YOURSELF.

THERE YOU GO.

BUT YOU LOVE THAT HUSBAND.

I DO.

AND YOUR CAREER?

AND THERE'S BATTLES

ON EACH SIDE, ON ALL--

IN LIFE, PERIOD, GIRL.

LORD JESUS,

WE GONNA GET PAST IT.

[laughter]

WE GONNA GET THERE.

THE REASON WHY I'M EVEN HERE

IS BECAUSE I'M DEFINITELY

LOOKING TO TAKE MY CAREER

TO ANOTHER LEVEL.

YOU ARE NOT TAKING HIM

OFF CHILD SUPPORT.

HE IS GONNA DO

WHAT HE'S SUPPOSED TO DO

WHETHER HE DOES IT BY CHOICE

OR FORCE.

* SHE DON'T LOVE ME ♪

[knocking]

HEY, RASHEEDA.

HEY, HONEY, HOW ARE YOU?

I'M GREAT.

GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

YOU TOO.

HOW YOU DOING?

RASHEEDA, NICE TO MEET YOU.

SHANTE, NICE TO MEET YOU.

JUDE BOY, YEAH, ALL RIGHT.

JUDE BOY, WHAT'S UP?

[laughs]

I GOT A MEETING WITH DEB ANTNEY

WHO IS AN AMAZING MANAGER.

SHE'S A BOSS IN THE GAME,

AND SHE COULD PROBABLY TAKE

MY CAREER TO THE NEXT LEVEL

IF IT ALL WORKS OUT.

WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW?

I MEAN, RIGHT NOW,

I'M INDEPENDENT,

AND I HAVE BEEN SINCE

THE JOB SITUATION.

CONSTANTLY PUTTING OUT MUSIC,

STAYING RELEVANT,

AND LOOKING TO DROP A NEW ALBUM,

WHICH IS THE REASON WHY

I'M EVEN HERE.

IT'S BECAUSE I'M DEFINITELY

LOOKING TO TAKE MY CAREER

TO ANOTHER LEVEL.

I'M ALREADY AWARE THAT

THERE'S ONE, TWO, THREE,

FOUR LABELS INVOLVED.

WHAT FOUR LABELS YOU GOT?

SO I HAVE D-LO MUSIC,

MOTOWN, JIVE RECORDS,

AND IMPERIAL,

BUT D-LO IS STILL IN PLACE.

CORRECT.

THAT'S MY BIGGEST QUESTION.

BECAUSE IF I DO ALL OF THESE

DEALS WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE,

THEN I GOT TO START QUESTIONING

MYSELF THEN.

OKAY, I AGREE, FINE.

YOU UNDERSTAND

WHAT I'M SAYING?

BECAUSE THIS PLACE HERE,

D-LO NEVER GOES NOWHERE.

D-LO IS MY HUSBAND, OKAY,

AND MY MANAGER.

WE GOT TO LOOK AT

THAT PICTURE.

WE GOT TO LOOK AT THAT.

I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT

MY HUSBAND AND D-LO BEING

THE REASON WHY

I HAVEN'T EXCELLED.

THE ONLY THING ABOUT IT IS

I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO FACE THAT.

YOUR LOYALTY IS TO HIM FIRST.

IT'S NOT TO YOU.

THAT'S WHY YOUR CAREER

IS JUMPING ALL AROUND.

IN EVERYTHING THAT'S HERE,

IN EACH THING THAT YOU LOOK AT,

IN EACH THING THAT YOU READ,

D-LO STAYS THERE.

THAT'S YOUR COMMON DENOMINATOR

TO YOUR FAILURE--

TO WHY YOU'RE NOT ON TOP.

THERE'S NO WAY WITH THE RAVE

THAT WAS DONE ON YOU

THAT I'VE READ

THAT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN

TO THE ROOF.

YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN

GEORGIA'S PEACH FOR REAL.

YOU WAS THAT ONE.

I HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT,

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU IN

THE SITUATION LIKE MINE

WHERE YOU HAVE SOMEBODY

WHO HAS PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE

IN YOUR CAREER, YOU KNOW,

AND THEN OF COURSE--

BUT WHAT HAPPENS

TO YOUR ROLE?

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ROLE

THAT RASHEEDA PLAYED?

YOU'RE THE TALENT,

AND THEY WOULDN'T BE

IN THAT ROOM WITHOUT YOU

AND THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE TO

UNDERSTAND.

YOU HAVE TO REEVALUATE THIS.

I THINK IT SHOULD BE NOT A,

"THIS IS WHAT I REALLY WANT

TO DO," AS RASHEEDA THE ARTIST,

THE BOSS BITCH,

THE GEORGIA PEACH.

IT SHOULD BE,

"IS IT RASHEEDA THE WIFE,

THE HOMEMAKER, PLAYING GRANDMA?

IS THAT WHO I REALLY

WANT TO BE?"

AND YOU GOT TO HAVE THAT TALK

WITH D-LO.

THAT'S YOUR HUSBAND,

BUT YOU KNOW I MANAGE MY SON

AND WE GO THROUGH OUR THINGS.

AND IF HE LOVES YOU,

HE'LL UNDERSTAND ALL THAT.

ZINO, WHAT'S GOOD?

STEVIE.

YEAH, OH, BLOOD BRO.

HEY, THINGS ARE GOOD.

[both speaking simultaneously]

GOT YOU, YOU KNOW,

CIROC, BOY.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

HEY.

COCOLOSO.

HEY.

I HAD TO GET WITH MY MAN ZINO,

YOU KNOW, TO TALK ABOUT HIM

AND KARLIE.

I HEAR HE'S FEELING HER.

THAT'S COOL, BUT YOU KNOW

I DON'T KNOW THOUGH.

HOLD UP, WHAT'S GOING ON

WITH YOU AND KARLIE?

CRAZY, YO.

MAN.

SHE CAME BY THE CRIB.

COOKED HER, YOU KNOW,

COOKED HER DINNER.

YOU COOKED?

YOU KNOW, I HAD THE LOBSTERS,

ASPARAGUS, OSCAR WITH

THE CRAB MEAT.

UH-OH, UH-OH.

THE HOMEMADE, YOU KNOW,

DRESSING AND STUFF

FOR THE SALAD.

YEAH, YEAH.

SO SHE CAME IN.

GORGEOUS, MAN, BEAUTIFUL DRESS.

SHE'S JUST HUMBLE.

LIKE, NO JOKE, SHE'S A REAL

HUMBLE PERSON.

SHE'S SMART.

SHE'S MOTIVATED.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING,

I'M GONNA MEET HER FAMILY SOON.

OH, WOW.

YEAH.

OOH.

YEAH, YOU KNOW, WE SEE

WHERE IT TAKES US,

BUT SO FAR, MAN, EVERYTHING

IS, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING,

MUCHO BUENO.

YEAH.

IF KARLIE'S FOR ZINO,

THEN COOL.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING, BUT

I NEED TO HOLLA AT HIM ABOUT

THIS MIMI AND JOSELINE BEEF.

YO, BUT, YOU KNOW, ALSO

ON ANOTHER NOTE,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING, UM,

JOSELINE.

THE THING IS, LIKE,

SHE THREATENED BABY MOM.

SHE'S THREATENED BABY'S MOMS?

YEAH.

CAN'T HAVE THAT.

WE DON'T DO THAT,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

SO I ADDRESSED IT.

SHE WANTED TO GO HAM,

SO I WALKED AWAY.

WHY WOULD SHE--WHY WOULD SHE

BE FLIPPING OUT AND SENDING

THREATS, LIKE, FOR WHAT?

ARE Y'ALL STILL [bleep] AROUND?

OCCASIONALLY,

I TAKE A DIP BACK,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

IT'S THOSE DIPS THAT...

[laughs]

THAT'S THE PROBLEMS.

IT'S OVER THOUGH.

YOU SURE?

I'M POSITIVE.

IT AIN'T REALLY NO COMING BACK

FROM THAT LINE.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING,

SO IT'S LIKE WHEN YOU DISRESPECT

A MAN AND HIS FAMILY

AND ALL THAT,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING--

I ONLY KNOWN HER

FOR SO MANY MONTHS.

ANYWAYS.

RIGHT.

I'M NEVER GONNA LOSE MIMI

OVER JOSELINE, OVER HALLE BERRY,

JANET JACKSON.

I MIGHT DETERRED, BUT I AIN'T

NEVER LEAVING MY BABY.

HOW DO YOU PLAN ON

GETTING MIMI BACK?

I'M WORKING OUT A PLAN.

I DON'T REALLY FULLY HAVE

A FOOLPROOF PLAN.

I'M WORKING ON IT.

WELL, WHAT'S THE TEMPORARY

PLAN?

WHAT'S YOUR THOUGHTS?

I JUST WANT TO GET HER ALONE

WITH ME.

GET HER ALONE?

A-WHAT, ALONE?

WITH ME, YEAH.

WITH YOU.

JUST WATCH ME.

YOU GONNA LIKE THIS ONE.

T-THIS ONE?

IS SHE GONNA LIKE IT?

SHE'S GONNA LOVE IT.

[chuckles]

I'LL MAKE YOU PROUD.

YEAH?

YES.

A'IGHT.

TRUST THAT.

A'IGHT.

YOU ACT LIKE I JUST

WENT BEHIND YOUR BACK

AND DID THE ULTIMATE WORST.

I HAD A MEETING WITH SOMEBODY.

THAT IS IT.

SO BASICALLY I'M ABOUT

TO GET FIRED IS WHAT

YOU TELLING ME.

WHAT IS THE ROASTED

VEGETABLE?

IT'S NOT VEGETABLE.

WELL, YOU TRY AND THEN

YOU TELL ME HOW IT IS.

I'M MEETING MY MOTHER

FOR LUNCH SO WE CAN DISCUSS

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ME

AND SCRAPPY.

SHE WAS ACTUALLY RIGHT

ALL ALONG ABOUT US.

HOW'S YOUR RELATIONSHIP--

YOU AND SCRAP?

ALL OVER THE PLACE.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN,

"ALL OVER THE PLACE?"

AND HE BASICALLY SAID

HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE WITH ME

ANYMORE.

HE HAD A MOVING TRUCK

IN MY DRIVEWAY,

AND HE WAS GETTING THE REST

OF HIS THINGS OUT THE HOUSE.

AND YOU KNOW, HE WANTED TO TALK

TO ME BEFORE HE LEFT.

AND HE WAS JUST SAYING,

YOU KNOW, "I KNOW IT'S ME.

I GOT SOME THINGS I NEED

TO WORK ON.

YOU KNOW, GET MY HEAD CLEAR,"

AND HE WANTED TO BE COOL.

AND I WAS LIKE,

"THAT CHAPTER IN MY LIFE

IS CLOSED.

LIKE, YOU CAN'T BE WITH ME

WHEN YOU WANT TO BE WITH ME.

IT JUST DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT."

I FELT LIKE

ONCE I TOLD HIM THAT

IT WAS LIKE, "OH, WELL,

BEFORE I LEAVE THEN,

YOU GONNA TAKE ME OFF

CHILD SUPPORT, RIGHT?"

I WAS LIKE, "UM...NO."

I THINK SCRAPPY'S TRYING

TO LINK THE CHILD SUPPORT

WITH ME AND HIM BEING TOGETHER.

"IF SHE NEEDS SOMETHING, LIKE,

SHE'LL, YOU KNOW,

HAVE TO CALL ME.

AND IF SHE CALLS ME

THEN IF I, YOU KNOW--

SHE'LL HAVE TO MEET ME

OR HAVE TO SEE ME."

IT'S, YOU KNOW, KIND OF LIKE

A GAME TO HIM.

WHEN I ASKED HIM FOR SOME MONEY

PROBABLY ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO,

HE WAS LIKE,

"OH, I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU.

YOU GONNA MEET WITH ME?"

AND I SAID,

"NO, YOU HAVE MY ACCOUNT NUMBER.

JUST IT IN MY ACCOUNT."

"OH, SO YOU DON'T

WANT TO SEE ME?"

"WHY DO I HAVE TO SEE YOU

FOR YOU TO GIVE ME MONEY

THAT I NEED FOR HER?"

I SAID, "AND THEN ON TOP

OF THAT, YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER

TWO LUMP SUMS OF CHECKS,

AND ALL I ASKED YOU TO DO

WAS PUT SOME MONEY UP

FOR HER FUTURE."

"WHAT, ALL OF A SUDDEN--I DON'T

HAVE TO SHOW YOU NOTHING.

I DON'T HAVE TO PROVE NOTHING

TO YOU."

"OH, THAT'S 'CAUSE

AIN'T DID IT."

OKAY, YOU KNOW WHAT?

HE DOESN'T HAVE TO SHOW IT

TO YOU.

HE'LL SHOW IT TO THE PEOPLE

DOWNTOWN.

HE DOESN'T HAVE TO SHOW YOU

ANYTHING.

HE'LL SHOW IT TO THEM.

YOU ARE NOT TAKING HIM

OFF CHILD SUPPORT.

HE IS GONNA DO

WHAT HE SUPPOSED TO DO

WHETHER HE DOES IT BY CHOICE

OR FORCE.

DON'T MAKE HIM--

HE DON'T HAVE TO SHOW YOU

ANYTHING.

I WOULDN'T EVEN DEAL WITH HIM

LIKE THAT.

DON'T YOU HAVE A SOCIAL WORKER?

CALL HER.

HE IS NOT COMING OFF

CHILD SUPPORT.

NO WAY.

WELL, IT'S BEEN A COUPLE

OF DAYS NOW AND I'M STARTING

TO FEEL THIS COLD SHOULDER

FROM RASHEEDA, AND I'M FEELING

LIKE SOMETHING IS REALLY WRONG.

AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

WHAT'S GOING ON.

YOU GOT A SECOND TO TALK?

UH, SURE DO.

WHAT I ULTIMATELY WOULD WANT

IS I WOULD WANT

KIRK AND SOMEONE ELSE

TO COME IN AND COMANAGE.

I REALLY THINK IT COULD WORK

FOR US.

I'M JUST CURIOUS IF HE'S OPEN

TO THAT AND IF HE'S WILLING

TO EVEN GIVE IT A TRY.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

I WENT AND TALKED TO DEB

FROM MIZAY WHO HAD NICKI MINAJ.

SHE KNOWS THE INDUSTRY.

HOLD UP, HOW DO YOU GO

HAVE A MEETING WITH DEB?

HOW DO YOU EVEN GO AROUND DOING

THAT WITHOUT TALKING TO ME?

I DIDN'T WANT TALK

TO YOU ABOUT IT.

I WANTED TO STEP OUT ON MY OWN,

AND I WANTED TO SPEAK TO

SOMEBODY WHO DOESN'T KNOW US,

WHO CAN GIVE ME AN INSIGHT

ON WHAT THEY SEE--

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH RASHEEDA.

THERE'S A LOT GOING ON

WITH YOU.

YOU SEEM TO NEVER GET

WHAT'S GOING ON.

YOU'RE HERE.

YOU HAVE A NAME.

YOU HAVE MADE A FOUN--

YOU HAVE BOSS CHICK MOVEMENT,

BOSS BIT--YOU GOT GIR--

YOU GOT INDEPENDENT ALBUMS.

YOU GOT--EVERYTHING YOU BEEN

WANTING YOU GETTING.

YO, I BEEN DOWN WITH YOU SINCE

DAY ONE THROUGH THE TRENCHES

TO TODAY MAKING SURE

YOU'RE RELEVANT.

AND FOR YOU TO SAY THAT TO ME,

IT REALLY--IT PUTS ME

IN A REAL FUNNY PLACE.

LIKE, HOW COULD YOU EVEN

FIX YOUR MOUTH TO SAY

THESE WORDS?

SO WHAT DID YOU TALK ABOUT?

SHE WAS SAYING TO ME, "MAYBE

BECAUSE THINGS HAVEN'T EXCELLED,

D-LO MAY BE THE REASON.

IT MAY NEED TO BE SOME CHANGES

BROUGHT IN RIGHT THERE."

WHAT THE [bleep] WOULD YOU

GONNA LISTEN TO SOME [bleep]

LIKE THAT?

THAT [bleep] DIDN'T EVEN

BOTHER ME.

THIS [bleep] HAS PAID

YOUR BILLS.

YOU'RE [bleep] NOW,

BUT YOU'RE HERE NOW

BECAUSE I BELIEVED IN YOU.

I KNOW THAT.

EVERYBODY TALKS [bleep],

BUT THEY DO NOT [bleep] DELIVER.

YOU KNOW, YOU PISSED OFF NOW

BECAUSE YOU WANT TO SAY INDEP--

I TOLD YOU, INDEPENDENT IS THIS.

IF YOU WANT TO GET

WHAT YOU LOOKING FOR,

IT IS ALL ABOUT GOING INTO

A MAJOR.

YOU [bleep] DON'T WANT

TO LISTEN.

LISTEN SOMETIME.

THAT'S BECAUSE I KNOW

OUR CAPABILITIES, BUT I DON'T

KNOW IF WE CAN DO IT

WITH JUST ME AND YOU.

OKAY, THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK.

I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE VIOLATING ME

DOING SOME SH--

LIKE JUST BEING HONEST,

IT HURTS, 'CAUSE I'M GONNA

SIT HERE AND HAVE DREAMS

ABOUT THIS.

LIKE, "HOW DID YOU EVEN GO

THIS WAY AND NOT EVEN GIVE ME

A HEADS UP?"

IF IT WASN'T FOR ME, WOULD YOU

BE IN THIS RELATIONSHIP?

IF I DIDN'T LOVE YOU

THE WAY I LOVE YOU,

WOULD YOU BE HERE?

DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I TRIED

TO TELL YOU TEN YEARS AGO?

I UNDERSTAND THAT,

AND I LOVE YOU AND I THANK YOU

FOR EVERYTHING.

I THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

BUT THAT'S LOYALTY.

THAT'S WHAT--

BUT YOU DON'T DO THAT

BEHIND MY BACK.

I'VE GROWN WITH YOU.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

YOU CAN GROW WITH ME,

BUT YOU COME TO ME ON SOME 100.

I AM 100 WITH YOU.

YOU SAT HERE THREE DAYS

KNOWING THAT.

YOU PLOT--YOU PLANNED THAT.

YOU SENT--YOU DID A LOT.

LIKE, YOU DON'T DO THAT.

THAT'S LIKE ON SOME LEFT FIELD

[bleep].

BUT YOU ACT LIKE I JUST

WENT BEHIND YOUR BACK

AND DID THE ULTIMATE WORST?

I HAD A MEETING WITH SOMEBODY.

THAT IS IT: A MEETING.

I DIDN'T KNOW NOTHING

ABOUT IT.

YOU'RE MY ARTIST.

I'M YOUR MANAGER.

THAT'S A MANAGEMENT COMPANY.

YOU DON'T DO THAT WITHOUT

TELLING ME.

WRONG.

YOU WANT US FLIPPING ON

THE BUSINESS?

PUT THE PERSONAL TO THE SIDE.

ON THE BUSINESS,

I CAN GO AND TALK TO WHO I WANT

TO TALK TO ABOUT MANAGEMENT.

SO BASICALLY I'M ABOUT

TO GET FIRED

IS WHAT YOU TELLING ME.

I MEAN, I'M ASKING YOU.

SO I'M ABOUT TO GET FIRED--

THE PERSON WHO PUT THEY LIFE ON

THE LINE FOR YOU FOR 17 YEARS?

YOU GONNA TELL ME

YOU GONNA FIRE ME?

[sobbing]

I JUST DON'T WANT--

I DON'T WANT TO SAY THAT.

[sobbing]

WHEN I'M WITH STEVIE,

YOU ALWAYS BLOW HIS PHONE UP

AND CALL HIM.

YOU ALWAYS BRING MY NAME UP.

THAT'S MY DAUGHTER'S FATHER.

I'LL CALL HIM WHENEVER I FEEL.

JOSELINE SENT ME

A THREATENING TEXT MESSAGE.

"YOU OLD GROUPIE SLUT BITCH."

IF I EVER TELL STEVIE SOMETHING

ABOUT HER AGAIN,

SHE'S GONNA MOP MY ASS

WITH THE FLOOR.

AND ANYWHERE SHE SEES ME,

SHE'S GONNA [bleep] ME UP.

YADA-YADA-YA.

HI, MIMI.

JOSELINE.

I'M GLAD YOU CAME OVER

TO SPEAK TO ME, 'CAUSE I'M

A WOMAN ABOUT EVERYTHING

THAT I DO.

SO I KNOW I SENT YOU THAT TEXT--

CRAZY TEXT MESSAGE.

I WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR THAT

FIRST OF ALL.

I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW

THAT I THINK THAT BECAUSE

IT'S LIKE EVERY TIME

I WAS AROUND STEVIE,

I HEAR YOU CALL,

AND YOU JUST BLOW HIM UP, LIKE--

I DON'T BLOW HIM UP.

I CALL HIM,

AND HE ANSWERS THE PHONE.

THAT'S NOT BLOWING HIM UP.

OKAY, WELL, YOU CAN HAVE THAT

IF THAT'S YOU THINK YOU DO.

BUT I SEE YOU CALLING HIM

AND YOU ALWAYS BRING UP MY NAME

LIKE, "JOSELINE, JOSELINE.

IF JOSELINE..."

NO, I DON'T.

OKAY, WELL.

NO, I DON'T.

YOU CAN SAY WHATEVER

YOU WANT, BUT I KNOW WHAT--

AND SO CAN YOU, AND YOU DO.

WHEN I'M WITH STEVIE,

YOU ALWAYS BLOW HIS PHONE UP

AND CALL HIM.

YOU ALWAYS BRING MY NAME UP.

THAT'S MY DAUGHTER'S FATHER.

I'LL CALL HIM WHENEVER I FEEL.

AND YOU CAN DO THAT, MIMI.

YOU CAN--LISTEN, YOU GONNA

HAVE TO TALK TO HIM FOREVER.

RIGHT, YOU'RE RIGHT.

AND YOU GONNA--

AND I KNOW THIS.

DO YOU?

YES, I KNOW THAT.

SO THEN WHY DID YOU BE

SENDING ME THAT THREATENING

TEXT MESSAGE IF YOU KNOW

I HAVE TO TALK TO HIM FOREVER?

AND I'LL TALK TO HIM ABOUT

WHATEVER I WANT TO.

I WILL BRING YOUR NAME UP

BECAUSE YOU'RE AN ISSUE

FOR [bleep] ME.

THAT'S WHY.

HOW AM I SUCH AN ISSUE

THOUGH?

YOU GOT PREGNANT

BY MY BABY FATHER.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE

WHEN I HAVE THIS MAN WITH ME

24/7.

YOU KNOW, HE WAS LIKE,

"YEAH, SHE'S THERE,

BUT SHE'S JUST MY BABY'S MOM."

HE HAS A WAY OF TELLING YOU ONE

THING, TELLING ME ONE THING--

ABSOLUTELY.

TELLING EVERYBODY ELSE

ONE THING, AND THEN--

AND PLAYING EVERYBODY

AND THEN EVERYBODY'S LIKE THIS.

EVERYBODY'S FIGHTING.

JOSELINE, YOU ARE TELLING ME

SOMETHING ABOUT SOMEBODY

I'VE KNOWN FOR 14 YEARS.

I KNOW.

THE TEXT MESSAGES--

I WAS WRONG FOR DOING THAT.

AND AFTER THAT TEXT,

YOU KNOW WHAT I TOLD HIM?

I SAID, "I SHOULD'VE NEVER

DID THAT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW

WHAT YOU TELLING THAT GIRL

FOR HER TO EVEN SAY ANYTHING

THAT SHE'S SAYING,"

AND I SAID THAT TO HIM.

ME AND MIMI ARE THE VICTIM HERE.

STEVIE IS JUST THE ONE,

"[laughs]

I'M THE MAN."

IT DON'T WORK LIKE THAT

BECAUSE HE HURTS HER

AND HE HURTS ME.

I'M SORRY ABOUT THE PREGNANCY.

I KNOW YOU HURT.

I WOULD'VE BEEN HURT TOO

'CAUSE I'M STILL A WOMAN.

I'M SORRY,

BUT I CAN'T HELP, YOU KNOW,

NO PERSON LIE TO ME.

JUST LIKE YOU CAN'T HELP IT.

CAN'T NOBODY HELP IT,

AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

NOBODY CAN HELP THAT

MOTHER[bleep] LYING ABOUT

NOTHING, AND I KNOW YOU HURT

JUST AS BAD AS I'M HURT.

BUT I'M JUST GONNA KEEP ON

WITH MY LIFE

AND DO WHAT I GOT TO DO.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TAKE

MY APOLOGY, IT'S OKAY, MIMI.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

I HEAR YOU.

I HEAR YOU, JOSELINE.

TRUST ME, I DO.

I'M A WOMAN AS WELL.

SO I--I GET IT.

I THINK MY ISSUE

WITH THIS APOLOGY

IS I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.

DON'T APOLOGIZE TO ME

AND THEN, WELL, BECAUSE YOU THIS

AND THAT--UH-UH.

IF I'M GONNA SAY I'M SORRY

TO YOU, I'M GONNA SAY,

"YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M SORRY," PERIOD.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BELIEVE ME,

MIMI.

I APOLOGIZE FOR EVERYTHING

THAT HAPPENED TO--BETWEEN US

'CAUSE HE LET THAT HAPPEN.

TO HIM, HE CAN DO

WHAT HE WANT TO DO.

WE'LL SEE HOW MUCH HE DOES.

WON'T BE DOING IT FOR ME

OR OUT OF ME.

ME EITHER.

ON THE NEXT

LOVE AND HIP-HOP: ATLANTA...

IS THAT WHAT A RAPPER

IS SUPPOSED TO BE?

A WOMAN WHO CAN'T HAVE KIDS

AND CAN'T BE A WIFE?

I'M GONNA WORK WITH YOU

OR WITHOUT YOU.

I'M STILL GONNA GET PAID

REGARDLESS.

[billiards clinking]

WHY IS SHE NOT SIGNING

THE CHILD SUPPORT PAPERS?

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'MA GET MY LAWYER.

OOH, MAN.

BUT WHAT'S GOING ON

WITH THIS BENZINO GUY

I'M HEARING ABOUT?

YOU GOT ME A KEY

TO THE HOUSE?

EITHER WE GET INTO IT NOW

OR WE GET INTO IT IN THERAPY.

WHEN IS THE THERAPY?

CAN WE FIGURE THAT OUT

BECAUSE I'M NOT ABOUT TO BEEF

WITH YOU ANYMORE.

WHY DID YOU COME TO THERAPY?

'CAUSE I REALLY, REALLY

WANT TO WORK THIS OUT.
