PREVIOUSLY ON LOVE & HIP-HOP:

ATLANTA...

THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING

ABOUT.

WE DO A NICE CENTERFOLD

PULLOUT.

THAT'S HOT.

THAT WOULD BE GOOD.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING, KID?

I'M OUT OF HERE, STEVIE.

I NEED A BREAK.

I KNOW YOU'RE NOT TALKING

ABOUT THAT ALTHEA STUFF.

YES, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE--

I NEVER HAD SEX WITH HER.

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.

I DIDN'T.

OH, MY GOD.

THE MIMI SITUATION.

THE BITCH GOT A SEX TAPE.

OH, MY GOD.

WHO'S THE CAMERAMAN?

THERE'S NO CAMERAMAN.

SO THERE'S NO THIRD PERSON.

NO.

BITCH, THAT'S A REAL ONE.

YEAH.

THAT'S YOUR FRIEND.

THIS IS A PRODUCTION.

IT'S A LITTLE GIRL

THAT GOT TO DEAL WITH THIS.

A LITTLE GIRL.

I TOLD HER ABOUT THAT MAN,

BUT SHE DID NOT WANT

TO LISTEN TO ME.

JUST TRYING TO COME

SEE ME AND GIVE ME A PUPPY?

JUST SHOWING MY GRATITUDE

AND MY LOVE FOR YOU.

YOU FEEL ME?

MM-HMM.

I WANT TO BE SOMEONE

ON SOME KIND OF LEVEL.

BUT YOU DON'T KNOW

WHAT THAT LEVEL IS.

I JUST NEED TO BE CLEAR

ON WHAT YOU WANT

AND WHY YOU HERE.

WE GONNA HAVE SEX?

NO, WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE SEX.

HUH?

YOU GOT TO TAKE ME

ON A GANG OF DATES

BEFORE WE GET IT POPPING AGAIN.

* THIS IS THE LIFE

♪ THIS IS THE LIFE

* YEAH

* THIS IS THE LIFE

[laughs]

OH, MY GOD,

THIS IS HILARIOUS.

I'M SO OVERWHELMED WITH THIS.

I TRIED MY BEST

TO PREPARE FOR THIS MOMENT,

BUT I HAD NO IDEA.

NIKKO AND MY SEX TAPE WAS JUST

RELEASED A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO,

AND THE WORLD HAS GONE CRAZY.

MISCELLANEOUS PEOPLE CALLING ME.

I'VE GOT, LIKE, 70--

DON'T ANSWER IT.

I'M NOT, BUT I'M--

I NEED A NEW NUMBER, NUMBER ONE.

I SWEAR.

YEAH, WE NEED TO GO GET YOU

A NEW NUMBER TODAY AFTER I

FINISH READING THESE COMMENTS.

WHAT COMMENTS?

WE'RE TRENDING.

WE'RE THE BIGGEST THING

IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

I KNOW WE'RE TRENDING, NIKKO,

BUT LOOK WHAT THEY'RE SAYING.

WE WENT VIRAL, BABE.

SO FOR EVERYBODY

TO BE JUDGING AND TALKING TRASH

AND THIS, THAT, AND OTHER,

IT'S [bleep] ME UP.

IT'S UNREAL TO SEE MY NAME

TRENDING ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

"MIMI SHOWER ROD"

EVEN HAS ITS OWN HANDLE.

AND WHILE THIS IS ALL FUN

AND GAMES,

PEOPLE ARE ATTACKING ME

AND CALLING ME AN UNFIT MOTHER.

I JUST DON'T KNOW

HOW TO DEAL WITH ALL THIS.

I DON'T.

I NEED TO SHOW

YOU THESE COMMENTS.

THIS IS FROM JOSELINE.

I CALLED HER THE HORSE.

OH, JESUS.

"IF YOU'RE GOING TO [bleep]

ON CAMERA,

AT LEAST BE A FREAK,

NOT A BORING 45-YEAR-OLD LADY."

WAIT A MINUTE.

SHE'S SAYING

THAT YOU'RE DOING GRANNY PORN.

SHE'S THAT MAD? WELL,

WE NEED TO MAKE HER MADDER.

NO, YOU KNOW WHAT?

JOSELINE GOT...

HOLD UP.

MORE MILES ON HER [bleep]

THAN EIGHT OF ME--

YEAH, SHE'S FINISHED.

OKAY?

SO LET'S DO THE MATH ON THAT.

ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I SIGNED

THE CONTRACT IN THE FIRST PLACE

IS BECAUSE JOSELINE TAUGHT ME

WHAT NOT TO DO.

HER NAKED ASS IS

ALL OVER THE INTERNET FOR FREE

AND DIDN'T MAKE ONE RED CENT.

WHAT THIS GUY STEVIE JORDAN'S

TALKING--WHAT IS HE TALKING

ABOUT?

YO, THIS IS FUNNY.

"YOU HANGING FROM

SHOWER CURTAINS NOW?"

WHAT IS HE DOING?

I NEVER HUNG

FROM A SHOWER CURTAIN WITH YOU.

NEVER EVER WILL YOU.

HE'S MAD. THESE GUYS ARE MAD.

LIKE, WE SELLING SHOWER RODS.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

YOU'RE A SHOWER ROD

SURFER RIGHT NOW.

BUT HEY, YOU GOT TO GIVE

ME SOME CREDIT TOO, 'CAUSE

I KIND OF--I WAS--

NO, I GOT TO GIVE

YOU SOME CREDIT.

I WAS SUPPORT

FOR HOLDING YOUR ASS UP.

[laughing]

YOU WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN

HOLDING ONTO THAT POLE

IF I WASN'T HOLDING YOUR ASS UP.

LET'S KEEP IT REAL.

NIKKO MAY GET ON MY NERVES,

BUT HE'S BEEN HERE

THROUGH ALL THIS BULL[bleep].

PEOPLE CAN SAY WHAT THEY WANT,

BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW I

WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH THIS

WITHOUT HIM.

GET OFF THOSE [bleep] BLOGS.

I GOT TO READ ONE MORE.

IT'S A LOT OF 'EM HERE.

YOU'RE SICK.

THEY GOT SOME DOPE [bleep].

I'M ACTUALLY MAKING THE RECORD

TONIGHT TO SHOWER ROD.

LOVE IT.

* CAN YOU PLEASE

♪ AND GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE

♪ I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I

♪ WOULD BE THE GIRL

♪ WHO HURT YOU THE MOST

♪ IT'S ALL ON ME ♪

THAT'S THE REAL TALK.

THAT'S THE SONG, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

THAT'S THE--

YES, IT'S GOOD

TO BE BACK IN THE STUDIO

HANDLING BUSINESS WITH KALENNA.

I'VE BEEN SO FOCUSED

ON EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN

GOING ON WITH ME AND KIRK

THAT I HADN'T HAD THE CHANCE

TO GET THE REAL T FROM MY GIRL

WHAT'S BEEN

GOING ON WITH HER AND TONY

AND THEIR LITTLE SIDE CHICK.

WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON?

[bleep] BEEN A LITTLE CRAZY

BETWEEN ME AND TONY.

WHERE'S Y'ALL RELATIONSHIP

AT NOW, LIKE...

WELL, ASHLEY WENT HOME.

I SENT HER HOME

BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE,

YOU KNOW, ME AND TONY

NEED TO GET BACK TO ONE.

WAS IT PHYSICAL?

YEP.

YOU LITTLE BISEXUAL

FREAKY-ASS BITCH.

I CAN'T DEAL.

YOU BETTER KNOW IT.

WE TURNING UP.

WE HIT THE STRIP CLUB,

WILDING OUT AND EVERYTHING.

I MEAN--BUT WHILE THIS [bleep]

IS GOING ON, RASHEEDA,

I'M RIDING AROUND

WITH MY HOMEGIRL

LOOKING LIKE I'M NOT SUPPOSED

TO BE HERE.

RIGHT. WE AIN'T TEENAGERS.

AND SO WHEN I STARTED

SEEING THAT [bleep] GO LEFT,

I'M LIKE, THIS IS NOT COOL.

RIGHT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

LET ME BE A BIG GIRL

ABOUT THIS [bleep] AND BE LIKE,

"LITTLE ASHLEY,

YOU GOT TO TAKE YOUR ASS HOME."

RIGHT.

CLEARLY, I HAVE MISSED A LOT.

KALENNA BEEN TURNING UP,

GETTING DOWN, BREAKING UP,

AND MAKING UP.

BUT IT SEEMS LIKE SHE'S READY

TO PUT HER MARRIAGE FIRST.

AND I CAN ONLY RESPECT THAT.

SO CHECK THIS OUT.

I GOT A SURPRISE FOR YOU.

WHAT?

I'M PREGNANT.

GIRL...

SO I TOOK A PREGNANCY TEST,

AND IT REVEALED

THAT I WAS PREGNANT

WITH MY SECOND CHILD WITH TONY.

WITH EVERYTHING

THAT WE HAVE GOING ON,

IT'S NOT A GREAT TIME.

BUT I RECOGNIZE THE BLESSING.

LIKE, I'M HAPPY,

BUT I'M LOW-KEY STRESSED OUT.

LIKE--

WHAT DOES TONY THINK?

HE DON'T KNOW YET.

OH.

YOU'RE THE FIRST PERSON

I'M TELLING.

I JUST DON'T WANT HIM

TO BE STRESSED OUT.

WHEN I FOUND OUT,

EVERYTHING START GOING

THROUGH MY MIND, LIKE MY MONEY,

MY CAREER, MY ALBUM.

HOW'S THIS GONNA

AFFECT ME AND TONY?

HOLD ON, I'M SCARED BECAUSE

THE LAST TIME I WAS PREGNANT,

THIS MOTHER[bleep] ACT

LIKE HE LOST HIS MIND.

WHEN I WAS PREGNANT

WITH MY FIRST SON,

TONY WASN'T QUITE READY

TO BE COMMITTED

TO A RELATIONSHIP

THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.

HE STEPPED OUT ON ME.

HE CHEATED ON ME.

TONY HAS NO IDEA

ABOUT THIS BABY.

ALL HE WANTS TO DO IS BE SOLELY

FOCUSED ON THIS BUSINESS

AND THE STUDIO.

THIS IS KIND OF A MAJOR WRENCH

IN OUR MASTER PLAN.

I JUST HOPE HE TAKES IT WELL.

I'M NOT GONNA LIE TO YOU.

IT'S NOT A EASY THING

TO BE PREGNANT,

BE WORKING ON YOUR MUSIC,

TRYING TO JUGGLE EVERYTHING,

KEEPING YOUR MARRIAGE INTACT.

IT IS GONNA BE TOUGH,

BUT YOU CAN DEAL WITH IT.

FIRST OF ALL,

YOU NEED TO TELL YOUR HUSBAND,

BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE GONNA HAVE

TO TRY TO GET PREPARED.

Y'ALL AS A TEAM, FIGURE IT OUT.

I GOT YOU.

AND IF HE ACT ANYTHING

LIKE KIRK,

WE GONNA PUT A BAG OVER HIS HEAD

AND DRAG HIS DOWN.

PEACH TREE, BITCH.

DO YOU HEAR ME?

IT'S OVER, OKAY?

YOU HEAR ME, RIGHT?

[driving electronic music]

♪

YOU KNOW, I HAD A GREAT TIME

IN NEW YORK [bleep]

WITH K. MICHELLE, WORKING

ON SOME MUSIC WITHOUT STEVIE.

I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS

MOTHER[bleep] SINCE I BE HOME.

SEE, THE THING IS,

PLAYTIME IS OVER.

I GOT MY PERFORMANCE COMING UP,

AND I DON'T HAVE TIME

FOR NOTHING ELSE

BUT TO GET THAT PERFORMANCE

TOGETHER AND TO ROCK THE STAGE.

WHAT'S GOING ON, MA?

WHAT'S UP?

AIN'T NOTHING.

WHY YOU HERE?

WHAT'S UP?

'CAUSE I'M GOING HOME.

HOLD ON. WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

CHECK THIS OUT.

DON'T TOUCH ME.

I AIN'T EVEN SEE YOU

SINCE I'VE BEEN BACK.

I DON'T GIVE A DAMN.

CAN I JUST

TELL YOU ONE THING?

TELL ME HOW YOU'RE GONNA

GET YOUR [bleep] TOGETHER.

HOLD ON. CAN I--

AH.

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR.

I MISS YOU.

AND I'M SORRY--

CAN I GET A HUG?

YOU WON'T BE TOUCHING

THIS FOR--I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG.

I DON'T WANT NO PARTS OF THAT.

I NEED TO TOUCH

YOU RIGHT NOW.

ESPECIALLY WITH THAT RIGHT

THERE.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT BEEN AT.

AIN'T NO TELLING WHAT'S

COMING OUT THAT BEEFCAKE.

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

WE TALKING ABOUT HOW YOU

[bleep] UP.

I KNOW WE'RE NOT TALKING

ABOUT THIS GIRL ALTHEA AGAIN,

ARE WE?

YES, THAT BITCH.

THAT BITCH AND ALL THE OTHER

BITCHES ON YOUR [bleep] PHONE,

YOU DIRTBAG. YOU [bleep]--

I DID--

YOU [bleep] LIKE [bleep]

EVERYBODY.

I HAVEN'T BEEN

HAVING SEX THESE DAYS.

WE HAVEN'T BEEN HAVING SEX.

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.

ARE YOU GONNA BRING ME

BACK A DISEASE?

'CAUSE I DON'T TRUST

WHAT YOU BE DOING.

YEAH, IT'S CALLED

MONEY-ITIS.

I'M TELLING YOU, STEVIE,

IF YOU BRING ME BACK

SOMETHING, THAT'S YOUR ASS.

YOU GONNA BE SIX FEET [bleep]

UNDER, AND I'MA BE

IN THE FIRST 48.

I'M TELLING YOU, YOU BETTER NOT

KEEP THINKING IT'S A JOKE.

I HOPE YOU'RE WEARING CONDOMS

WITH THESE BITCHES.

LISTEN, I AIN'T DOING NOTHING

WITH NO CHICKS OUT HERE.

ESPECIALLY BITCHES

THAT [bleep] YOUR HOMIES.

HOW DARE YOU THINK I'MA

BE COOL WITH THAT?

HOW DARE YOU?

I NEVER BANG NOBODY IN THE

TOWN SINCE I'VE BEEN WITH YOU.

[bleep] YOU.

YOU GO AND [bleep] ANOTHER BITCH

WITH YOU.

NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES

WE HAD THIS CONVERSATION,

JOSELINE,

I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS

WITH THIS WOMAN.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

[bleep] YOU AND THAT BITCH.

AND YOU BETTER MOVE

BEFORE I RUN YOUR ASS OVER.

MOVE, [bleep].

EVERYBODY'S STILL TALKING

ABOUT THAT MIMI TAPE.

I'M THINKING

WE PUT 'EM ON THE COVER.

NO.

THAT WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO

IF I DON'T AGREE

TO DO YOUR COVER.

MIMI, YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE.

THAT'S WHAT YOU GOING--

TALK TO MY LAWYER.

THIS IS A JOKE RIGHT THERE?

NO.

SEE THIS?

YEAH.

I'M TALKING ABOUT THIS.

DID YOU KNOW

THIS WAS GOING IN THE COVER?

SLEAZO.

HEY, WHAT'S THE DEAL, BRO?

YEAH.

EVERYTHING GRAVY?

EVERYTHING GOOD.

WHAT'S UP WITH YOU?

HEY, MAN, JUST CHILLING, MAN.

GOT THE SLING OFF, ALL THAT.

YEAH, I'VE BEEN GOING--

BEEN GOING

TO THAT PHYSICAL THERAPY, MAN.

IT'S GETTING MUCH BETTER,

FOR REAL, MAN.

YEAH, YOU ALL BACK NOW.

YOU HEALING UP.

FEELS GOOD, MAN.

I AIN'T GONNA FRONT,

MAN, [bleep].

YOU KNOW, I HAVE MY GOOD DAYS

AND MY BAD DAYS WITH MY ARM,

WHICH IS THE REASON WHY I REALLY

WANT TO GET BACK TO WORK

SO I CAN FORGET ABOUT ALL THIS.

SO, YOU KNOW,

I REALLY WANT TO HAVE

THIS CONVERSATION WITH SLEAZO

SO WE CAN REALLY CHOP IT UP.

WHAT'S UP WITH YOU AND JOS?

EVERYTHING COOL?

YOU KNOW, ME AND JOSELINE

GOING THROUGH OUR THING.

SO I WAS JUST LIKE--

GOING THROUGH--FOR WHAT?

ABOUT THE WHOLE THEA THING

OR WHATEVER,

LIKE, AND IT WASN'T NOTHING.

SO IT'S, LIKE--IT'S--

MAN, MY THING IS, LET'S JUST

STOP WORRYING ABOUT THE NEGATIVE

AND JUST BE HAPPY

WITH THE POSITIVE.

AND HONE IN ON THE POSITIVE.

[bleep] THAT [bleep].

KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

COME ON, MAN.

MOVE FORWARD, MAN.

SHE KNOWS YOUR LOVE FOR HER,

MAN, LIKE...

YEAH, RUNS SO DEEP.

I JUST WANT THAT HAPPINESS, MAN.

THAT'S ALL I'M STRIVING

FOR, SO...

HEY, MAN, YOU GOT TO DO

WHAT YOU GOT TO DO.

YEAH.

I HATE THAT JOSELINE FEELS

SOME TYPE OF WAY ABOUT

THE ALTHEA AND STEVIE SITUATION.

AND AS FAR AS STEVIE GOES,

SLEAZE, MAN, LOOK,

I WISH YOU'D JUST COME CLEAN.

BUT THAT WAS IN THE PAST.

IT'S ALL ABOUT NOW AND FORWARD.

BUT, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY'S STILL

TALKING ABOUT THAT MIMI TAPE.

YOU KNOW I'M SAYING?

THE MOST BORING TAPE

IN THE HISTORY OF TAPES?

HEY, LISTEN,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

WHAT ABOUT THAT?

WHEN WE ALL--

I MEAN, SHE'S HOT, SLEAZE.

AT THE END OF THE DAY,

YOU GOT TO ADMIT RIGHT NOW

SHE'S THE MOST TALKED

ABOUT WOMAN PROBABLY ON EARTH.

I MEAN, WE GOT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE

OF THAT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING,

I'M THINKING WE DO A COVER,

PUT HER ON THE COVER.

NO.

WHICH WILL MEAN

THIS IS THE BIGGEST STORY OF--

COME ON, SLEAZE, WHAT YOU MEAN?

SHE'S THE BIGGEST--I MEAN, ALL

THE BLOGS ARE COVERING IT, MAN.

WE GOT TO BE THE FIRST

BEFORE SOMEBODY ELSE

PUTS HER ON A COVER.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.

SLEAZE, LOOK,

I KNOW--I KNOW--

SHE'S EVA'S MOM, LIKE--

I UNDERSTAND THAT. I GOT IT.

YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT THAT.

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,

IT'S A BUSINESS.

IT'S BAD ENOUGH

THAT MIMI'S DOING A SEX TAPE.

BUT CELEBRATING IT,

PUTTING HER ON THE COVER

OF THE HIP HOP WEEKLY,

A MAGAZINE THAT I GOT SOMETHING

TO DO WITH,

MAN, IT'S A PROBLEM.

I KNOW IT'S EASIER

SAID THAN DONE,

BUT YOU GOT TO SEPARATE EMOTIONS

AND YOUR PERSONAL

FROM YOUR BUSINESS, BROTHER.

I MEAN, WE STAND TO SELL A LOT

OF COVERS, SLEAZE.

IT'S DEFINITELY HARD

TO DO AT THIS MOMENT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO...

YEAH, BUT--

I JUST DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS

A GOOD IDEA RIGHT HERE.

BUT THINK ABOUT--SLEAZE,

THINK ABOUT IT.

I KNOW THIS.

I'VE BEEN DOING THIS--

I DON'T KNOW.

ALL MONEY AIN'T GOOD MONEY,

THOUGH, Z, AND THIS DON'T SEEM--

THIS DON'T SEEM RIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW.

JUST THINK ABOUT IT, BRO.

I UNDERSTAND

THAT THIS COULD BRING US MONEY

IN HIP HOP WEEKLY.

MY EX GOT A MAJOR BUZZ GOING ON,

BUT IT'S

ALL FOR THE WRONG REASON.

AND BESIDES, JOSELINE'S FEELING

SOME TYPE OF WAY RIGHT NOW.

AND SEEING MIMI

ON THE COVER OF THE MAGAZINE--

THAT MIGHT PUSH HER

OFF THE CLIFF, MAN.

WE GOT A DEADLINE.

YOU KNOW I'M SAYING?

HOW MUCH TIME WE GOT?

SLEAZE,

WE DON'T EVEN GOT 24 HOURS.

[groaning] GOD.

NOW THAT I CLOSED THE CHAPTER

TO THIS ERICA PINKETT SITUATION,

I'M READY TO LOVE MY GIRL BAM

AGAIN.

I GOT TO SHOW HER THAT I'M

THE MAN THAT SHE LOOKING FOR.

LAST TIME I GOT HER THE PUPPY.

BUT TODAY, SHORTY,

I GOT A ROMANTIC PICNIC

IN THE WILDERNESS, WATERFALLS,

ROSES, AND CHOCOLATE-COVERED

STRAWBERRIES.

AND I MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING

FOR HER

THAT SHE MIGHT JUST LOVE

WAY MORE THAN A PUPPY.

[laughs] OH.

HI.

WHAT'S UP?

OH, MY--WELL, THIS IS CUTE.

WOW.

THANKS.

SMELL 'EM.

AND TAKE A SEAT, MAMA.

LITTLE SMILEY FACE--

WHAT IS THIS?

AIN'T NEVER DID NOTHING

LIKE THIS.

SO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

IT'S LIKE--

WHY DO WE HAVE

TO COME TO THE JUNGLE?

I APPRECIATE

ALL OF SCRAP'S EFFORTS,

BUT HE GOT ME GOING

THROUGH THESE WOODS

LIKE I'M ON A SAFARI

OR SOMETHING.

I KNOW HE BETTER MAKE

THIS TRIP WORTHWHILE.

HOW YOU LIKE IT?

I MEAN, IT'S NICE.

I LIKE IT.

SHOW ME HOW MUCH YOU LIKE IT.

GIVE ME A KISS.

IS THIS FOR REAL?

YEAH, IT'S FOR REAL.

OH.

WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THERE'S NO DOUBT

THAT I LOVE SCRAPPY.

BUT BETWEEN HIS MEDDLING MOM

AND HIS SIDE CHICK SHENANIGANS,

HE JUST HAS TOO MUCH GOING ON.

HE'S GONNA HAVE TO COME

WITH SOMETHING LITTLE BIT

DIFFERENT THIS TIME.

BUT I GUESS THIS ROMEO STUFF

IS A GOOD START.

WHAT DO YOU WANT OUT OF LIFE

AND OUT OF THIS RELATIONSHIP?

WELL, I WANT A REAL CLEAR,

DEFINED RELATIONSHIP.

BUT I NEED TO SEE

SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM YOU.

LET'S FIX A SANDWICH

OR SOMETHING, 'CAUSE I'M HUNGRY.

YEAH, YOU MAKE A SANDWICH

AND FIGURE IT OUT.

OH, CAN YOU--

CAN YOU HAND IT TO ME?

I NEED--HAND IT TO ME.

IT'S NICE LITTLE BASKET

YOU GOT HERE.

YOU THOUGHT IT WAS A SANDWICH

IN THERE?

NO, IT IS--

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SOMETHING.

SHAKE IT. SHAKE IT.

GO AHEAD. YOU SHAKE IT.

NO, SHAKE IT.

I'M NOT GOING TO SHAKE IT,

AND THERE AIN'T NOTHING

IN THERE.

YOU NOT ABOUT TO PLAY WITH ME.

JUST FLIP IT OVER.

FLIP IT OVER.

YOU PLAY TOO [bleep].

THE [bleep] IS THAT [bleep]?

YEAH.

WHAT IS [bleep] THAT [bleep]?

I WANT YOU TO OPEN IT.

OH, OH.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

IT MEAN I LOVE YOU.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

I'M PROMISING TO BE YOUR FRIEND.

AND I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW

THAT YOU ARE SPECIAL.

YOU IN MY HEART.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

BUT IT'S REAL [bleep].

YOU KNOW, I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU TOO.

EW, [bleep].

[laughter]

WARM, SUNNY DAY.

GIRL, WANT SOME FOOLISHNESS?

I HAVE NEVER BEEN ASKED

TO BE ON ANYTHING

THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO

WITH HIP HOP WEEKLY BEFORE.

THING ABOUT BENZINO

CALLING ME HERE NOW

IS SO ASININE AND IRONIC

AT THE SAME DAMN TIME.

BUT YOU KNOW THESE GUYS

ARE OPPORTUNISTS.

THEY WANT A PIECE OF THE PIE.

THEY WANT A PIECE

OF THE [bleep] PIE.

YES.

AT THIS POINT,

I HAVE NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR.

IT IS WHAT IT IS,

AND I'M ECSTATIC.

LET'S HEAR HIS ASS OUT

SO I CAN WRING HIS LITTLE NECK.

EXACTLY.

OH, MY, HOW THE TABLES

HAVE TURNED.

BENZINO COULDN'T BE BOTHERED

WITH ME,

BUT NOW HE'S IN HOT PURSUIT.

SINCE THIS TAPE HAS COME OUT,

I'VE GONE FROM FEELING REAL

UNCOMFORTABLE TO REALIZING

THERE MIGHT BE A WHOLE LOT

OF OPPORTUNITY OUT THERE FOR ME.

NOW IS TIME TO MAKE THOSE COINS.

HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON?

WELL.

WHAT'S UP, SIR?

LADIES, I'M GLAD

YOU CAN MAKE IT.

OH.

AW.

OH.

MIMI, MIMI, MIMI,

MIMI, MIMIMI.

MIMI'S ON FIRE RIGHT NOW,

SO I GOT TO PUT HER ON THE NEXT

COVER OF THE HIP HOP WEEKLY.

I KNOW SLEAZO WASN'T REAL KEEN

ABOUT THE IDEA.

I GAVE HIM 24 HOURS

TO COME TO HIS SENSES.

TIME IS UP,

AND I AIN'T EVEN HEARD FROM HIM.

LET'S TOAST, OF COURSE--

WHAT ARE WE TOASTING TO?

OH, WE--I'M SURE

YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE TOASTING TO.

THERE'S ONLY ONE THING

THAT WE COULD BE TOASTING TO,

AND THAT'S IS TO MIMI

AND HER...

ENDEAVORS.

OH.

EXACTLY, I AGREE WITH THAT.

I'LL TOAST TO THAT. THANKS.

MOVING RIGHT ALONG,

BENZINO, YOU KNOW US.

OF COURSE.

WE COME HERE

FOR THE BUSINESS.

OF COURSE WE KNOW.

SHE'S THE BIGGEST THING--

I MEAN, BIGGER THAN BIG.

BIG.

YOU KNOW,

THERE'S THAT HOT METER.

[hisses]

AH!

RIGHT NOW, THE WORLD

KNOWS ABOUT MIMI.

MM-HMM.

I WANT TO PUT MIMI

ON A COVER.

I WANT TO DO

A BIG HIP HOP WEEKLY PARTY

WITH THE BIG POSTER BOARDS

WITH YOU ON IT.

10,000.

10,000 WHAT?

DOLLARS.

DOLLARS FOR WHAT?

TO BE ON THE COVER.

NO, WE DON'T PAY--

WE DON'T PAY

TO GET ON THE COVER.

YOU DON'T PAY, I DON'T DO.

WE DON'T DO

PRO BONO OVER HERE.

BUT YOU GUYS KNOW THAT--

I'M GETTING

OFFERS LEFT AND RIGHT, BENZINO.

BUT, MIMI--

LEFT, RIGHT,

UPSIDE DOWN, BACKWARDS.

I'M GETTING OFFERS

SWINGING FROM SHOWER RODS.

I'M GETTING OFFERS.

MY THING IS, WE DON'T PAY

PEOPLE TO GET ON THE COVER.

OKAY.

I DON'T NEED

MIMI'S PERMISSION TO PUT IT

ON THE COVER OF MY MAGAZINE.

SHE'S A PUBLIC FIGURE.

I JUST BROUGHT HER AND DAWN

HERE AS A COURTESY.

I THINK THE STORY'S HOT,

BUT TEN BENZ?

STOP IT, MIMI. HAVE YOU

EVER HEARD OF FREEDOM OF PRESS?

YEP.

I WANT YOU GUYS TO UNDERSTAND

THE MAGAZINE BUSINESS.

THESE PEOPLE

THAT ARE ON THE COVER--

WE DON'T HAVE

TO PAY THESE PEOPLE.

THESE PEOPLE ARE ON THE COVER.

YOU CAN GO ON THE COVER ANYWAYS

WITHOUT US EVEN ASKING YOU.

MM-HMM.

WE CAN GO GRAB A PICTURE,

PUT YOU ON THE COVER,

AND YOU'LL BE--

YOU COULD, AND I WILL SUE

THE [bleep] OUT OF YOU.

WELL, YOU KNOW,

THAT IS TO BE SEEN,

BECAUSE I TOLD YOU,

FREEDOM OF PRESS,

DOCTRINE OF FAIR USE--

YEAH, I COULD SUE YOU STILL.

I WILL TIE YOUR MAGAZINE UP SO

CRAZY BECAUSE I DO HAVE LAWYERS.

SO YOU COULD DO THAT

IF YOU WANT.

BUT I JUST THINK THAT IT

WOULD BE A GOOD THING,

BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY,

MIMI, WE HAVE THE RIGHT

TO PUT IT ON THE COVER ANYWAYS.

THAT'S WHAT YOU GONNA DO?

YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT'S WHAT

YOU'RE GOING TO DO RIGHT NOW?

I DON'T WANT TO DO IT.

I'D RATHER HAVE YOU, YOU KNOW--

BUT IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE GOING

TO DO?

IF I DON'T AGREE

TO DO YOUR COVER,

THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING--

MIMI, YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE.

I LEAVE YOU NO CHOICE?

COOL.

TALK TO MY LAWYER.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

LEAVING.

BYE, MIMI.

I LOVE THE TAPE, MIMI!

AND YOU DO HAVE CHOICES.

YOU HAVE CHOICES, THE CHOICE

OF WHAT DRESS YOU WANT TO WEAR,

'CAUSE YOU'RE GOING

ON THIS MOTHER[bleep] COVER.

YOU SAID IT WAS SOMETHING

THAT YOU AND YOUR BOYFRIEND DID

IN A HOME VIDEO SENSE.

AND IT LEAKED.

THAT'S NOT WHAT IT IS.

IN THE MIDST

OF THE CRAZIEST WEEK OF MY LIFE,

I JUST FOUND OUT

THAT MY FATHER HAD A STROKE,

AND HE'S NOT DOING WELL.

SO I'M LEAVING TONIGHT

TO GO BE WITH HIM IN NEW YORK.

ERICA'S ON HER WAY OVER,

SAID SHE HAS SOMETHING

IMPORTANT TO TALK TO ME ABOUT.

I'M GONNA SEE HER,

BUT I'M GONNA LET HER KNOW

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ME.

AND THEN I JUST

WANT TO GO BE WITH MY FATHER.

THE FEELING THAT I HAD

WHEN I SAW THIS TAPE OF MIMI,

AS A MOTHER, IT JUST--

IT BROKE MY HEART.

IT HURT ME TO MY SOUL.

I HAD TO WAIT A COUPLE OF DAYS,

BECAUSE I WAS SO PISSED,

I DIDN'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING

THAT I COULDN'T TAKE BACK.

BUT TODAY I'M GONNA EXPRESS

TO HER EXACTLY HOW I FEEL.

[doorbell rings]

WHAT'S UP?

MIMI'S MY FRIEND AND ALL,

BUT SHE'S ONTO SELF-DESTRUCTION.

THE MORE I THOUGHT

ABOUT MIMI'S SITUATION,

THE MORE I LOST SYMPATHY

FOR HER.

IT'S REALLY HER DAUGHTER

THAT I'M WORRIED ABOUT NOW.

WHAT IS GOING ON?

TALK TO ME, 'CAUSE WHAT I SAW,

MIMI, I DON'T LIKE,

I DON'T APPRECIATE.

I AM HURT, DISGUSTED,

DISAPPOINTED.

WHAT?

YOUR TAPE.

OH, GIRL.

IF I KNEW ERICA

WANTED TO COME OVER

AND TALK ABOUT THIS SEX TAPE,

I WOULD HAVE NEVER MADE TIME

FOR THIS.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING

BUT MY FATHER RIGHT NOW,

BUT I'MA LET HER SAY

WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY.

AND THEN I'M GONNA MOVE ON

TO MORE IMPORTANT THINGS.

YOU SAID IT WAS SOMETHING

THAT YOU AND BOYFRIEND

DID IN A HOME VIDEO SENSE,

AND IT LEAKED.

THAT IS NOT WHAT I SAW.

THEY HAD TO MAKE IT

WHAT IT IS.

THAT'S WHAT THAT COMPANY DOES.

SO YOU'RE TELLING ME

THIS WAS A HOME VIDEO?

YOU STICKING TO THAT, MIMI?

YEAH.

I MEAN, LIGHTING,

ALL OF THAT.

BUT YOU JUST SEEMED LIKE YOU

JUST SO COOL WITH IT.

LIKE, YEAH, IT'S A HOME VIDEO

AND, LIKE, WE BOTH KNOW IT'S

NOT, IT'S--

I'M NOT COOL WITH--

THAT'S NOT WHAT IT IS.

THE ONLY THING I CAN DO RIGHT

NOW IS MOVE THE [bleep] FORWARD.

THAT'S IT.

JUST REMEMBER WHAT YOU DO

AFFECTS EVERYBODY--YOUR FAMILY,

YOUR FRIENDS, NOT JUST YOU.

WHAT I DID IS GOING

TO BENEFIT ME AND MY FAMILY.

THAT'S NOT A BENEFIT.

YES, IT IS.

I DON'T CARE

HOW YOU TRY TO LOOK IT,

AND I'M SPEAKING TO YOU

AS A MOTHER NOW.

YES, IT IS.

BECAUSE IT'S SELFISH,

AND IT'S SELF-ABSORBED.

BECAUSE THEN GUESS WHAT?

YOU THINKING ABOUT YOU.

YOU'RE NOT CONSIDERING EVA.

OH, I'M TOTALLY

CONSIDERING EVA.

YOU COULDN'T POSSIBLY.

YOU COULDN'T POSSIBLY, MIMI.

YES, I AM.

YOU COULD PUT A PRICE TAG

ON THAT, REALLY?

THAT'S NOT THE MIMI I KNOW.

I'MA JUST TELL YOU

HOW I REALLY FEEL.

YOU LEAKED IT, OR NIKKO LEAK

IT?

'CAUSE AT THIS POINT,

I FEEL LIKE I--LIKE, WHO?

I CAN'T EVEN

BE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT, GIRL.

MY DAD HAD A STROKE.

HE'S DYING RIGHT NOW.

LIKE, THAT TAPE RIGHT NOW

IS THE LAST THING ON MY MIND,

TRUST AND BELIEVE.

I KNOW THAT ERICA

DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT MY FATHER,

BUT NOW SHE DOES.

AND HOPEFULLY,

ERICA HAS ENOUGH COMPASSION

TO UNDERSTAND THAT NOW

IS NOT THE TIME FOR THIS.

MY DAD WAS ON THE FLOOR.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW

HOW LONG HE WAS STROKED OUT.

A NEIGHBOR FOUND HIM.

I CAN'T EVEN THINK

ABOUT THIS TAPE RIGHT NOW.

I GOT TO GO TO NEW YORK

AND FIGURE OUT

WHAT I'M ABOUT TO DO.

THEY TELLING ME THEY DON'T KNOW

IF HE GONNA MAKE IT

THROUGH THE NIGHT.

I'M JUST...

I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT.

GOT SO MUCH

ON MY PLATE THAT--

SOMETIMES THINGS

HIT YOU ALL AT ONCE,

AND THIS IS ONE

OF THOSE INSTANCES.

LIKE, NOW YOUR DAD HAD A STROKE.

YOUR TAPE IS OUT.

CAN YOU DEAL WITH IT?

WHAT ELSE AM I

SUPPOSED TO [bleep] SAY?

I DON'T EVEN THINK YOU CAN

SAY ANYTHING ELSE AT THIS POINT.

I'M SORRY TO HEAR

ABOUT MIMI'S DAD.

IT'S NEVER A GOOD TIME TO HEAR

THAT YOUR FATHER'S HAD A STROKE.

BUT MY GOSH, THE TIMING

COULDN'T BE ANY WORSE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE MIMI

CAN TAKE RIGHT NOW.

SO I'M GONNA PUT MY FEELINGS

ON THE BACK BURNER AND PRAY

FOR MY FRIEND.

I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU A HUG

TO LET YOU KNOW IT IS OKAY, BOO.

BE TOTALLY HONEST WITH YOU,

MAN, LIKE, I'VE BEEN FEELING

SICK AND A LITTLE STRANGE.

STRANGE?

YEAH.

LIKE WHAT?

I TOOK A PREGNANCY TEST.

'CAUSE I ALREADY DONE

GAVE HER A RING.

YOU GAVE HER A WHAT?

I GAVE HER A RING.

NO, YOU NOT GONNA COME

SO WHAT WE LOOKING LIKE,

DONNA?

WELL, HATE TO BE THE BEARER

OF SOME BAD NEWS,

BUT THERE'S MOLD

IN YOUR BATHROOM.

WE'VE BEEN HAVING

SOME PROBLEMS IN THE STUDIO.

IT'S BEEN, LIKE,

SOME SCARY STUFF ON THE WALLS.

SO THAT'S WHY I CALLED IN

AN EXPERT,

AND NOW WE HEAR

THAT WE'VE GOT MOLD.

SO WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON

RIGHT NOW?

IT'S A LOT OF MOLD IN THERE,

ACTUALLY.

IT COULD BE, YOU KNOW,

A DANGEROUS KIND OF MOLD.

WHAT PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND

ABOUT MOLD IS THAT IT SPORES.

SO EVEN THOUGH YOU SEE IT

GROWING, IT'S IN THE AIR.

IT'S IN YOUR VENTILATION SYSTEM.

IT'S IN EVERYTHING,

WHICH IS REALLY HARMFUL TO,

ESPECIALLY, CHILDREN.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SMALL CHILDREN?

YEAH, WE HAVE

A SEVEN-YEAR-OLD,

NIECES, AND NEPHEWS.

OKAY, AND ELDERLY

AND EXPECTANT MOTHERS.

AND, YOU KNOW, THE LIST GOES ON.

BUT THE MAIN CONCERN

ARE THE LITTLE ONES.

THIS SOUNDS LIKE A BAD SITUATION

FOR A PREGNANT WOMAN.

WE LIVE AND WE WORK HERE.

AND I'M NOT TRYING

TO TAKE ANY CHANCES.

I HAVEN'T EVEN TOLD MY HUSBAND

ABOUT THE BABY YET.

WE'VE BEEN HAVING SOME DRAMA

OVER ASHLEY.

HE'S MORE ABOUT THE STUDIO

AND THE HOUSE.

SO I WAS JUST TRYING TO WAIT

FOR THE RIGHT TIME TO TELL HIM.

BUT MAYBE THE RIGHT TIME IS NOW.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE'RE GONNA SIT

AND TALK ABOUT IT.

YEAH, 'CAUSE IT MIGHT BE

A POSSIBILITY OF MOVING.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

YOUR HEALTH IS IMPORTANT.

YES, MA'AM.

YEAH. IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING.

WE SANK THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS

INTO THIS PROPERTY

SO WE CAN HAVE A PLACE

WHERE WE CAN LIVE AND WORK.

BUT WE GOT LEAKY CEILINGS.

I GOT MOLD ON THE WALL.

YO, THIS [bleep] PLACE

IS A MONEY PIT.

WHOO.

THIS IS A CASH PIT,

MONEY PIT.

JUST GOING TO THE PITS, MAN,

FOR REAL.

I MEAN, I HEAR YOU.

LISTEN,

WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST WE DO?

AIN'T NOBODY TRYING TO DIE

FROM THE MOLD BEING

IN NO BATHROOM OR IN THE WALLS

THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT,

STRAIGHT UP.

BE TOTALLY HONEST WITH YOU, MAN,

LIKE, I'VE BEEN

COUGHING AND FEELING SICK

AND A LITTLE STRANGE.

STRANGE?

YEAH.

LIKE WHAT?

WHAT YOU GOT, MAMA?

WHAT?

I TOOK A PREGNANCY TEST.

AND WHAT HAPPENED?

WELL, IT SAYS YOU

ABOUT TO BE A DADDY AGAIN.

STOP PLAYING.

I PROMISE ON EVERYTHING

I LOVE.

HOW THAT HAPPEN?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,

HOW THAT HAPPEN?

YOU KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED.

THAT'S THAT MAKEUP SEX.

THAT'S WHAT IT DO TO YOU, HUH?

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT IT WAS.

IT DO.

YEAH.

WOW.

I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS.

IT'S GOOD NEWS,

BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S

COMING TO ME AT A BAD TIME.

NOW THAT KALENNA'S PREGNANT,

THERE'S NO WAY

WE GONNA STAY HERE.

WE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.

LIKE, IF THAT'S THE CASE,

I DON'T NEED TO BE PREGNANT

IN HERE AND MOLD.

NO MATTER WHAT IT COSTS,

NO MATTER WHAT I HAVE TO DO,

I MAKE SURE

WE GONNA BE OUT OF HERE.

THIS IS--THIS IS IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

SO I GOT YOU.

WE GONNA DO THIS TOGETHER, BABY.

I LOVE YOU.

MM.

IN THE PEOPLE'S CASE,

MOMMA DEE VERSUS SCRAPPY

AND HIS HAREM,

I HAVE ONCE AGAIN

EMERGED VICTORIOUS.

SCRAPPY SAID IF I STAY

OUT OF HIS RELATIONSHIPS,

HE WILL REWARD ME

WITH A SCOOTER.

SO TODAY I'M HERE

TO BE PRESENTED

WITH THE ROYAL SCOOTER.

HEY.

HEY, HANDSOME.

HOW YOU DOING, MOM?

MOMMA'S BIG MAN AS ALWAYS.

HOW YOU DOING?

THE TIME

OF JUSTICE HAS ARRIVED.

LIKE, "HAMMER TIME."

OH, OKAY.

THE TIME HAS ARRIVED.

OKAY.

YEAH,

I WANT MY SCOOTER, SCRAPPY.

YOU GONNA TRY TO BE

A NEGOTIATOR, COACH BOTH SIDES,

AND TAKE STUFF

INTO YOUR OWN HANDS.

AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S STAYING

OUT THE BUSINESS, YOU FEEL ME?

MOMMA WAS PLAYING REFEREE.

ONLY THING

I WAS MISSING IS THE UNIFORM

AND A WHISTLE WITH A CAP ON.

BUT THAT'S WHEN IT DON'T

COUNT FOR YOU TO STEP IN.

STRIKE.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING

ABOUT.

YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST

LET ME HANDLE IT.

I HAD YOUR BACK.

EVEN THOUGH YOU FELT I

SHOULDN'T HAVE STEPPED IN THAT,

I WANT MY SCOOTER.

GIVE ME MY SCOOTER.

I APPRECIATE MOMMA DUKE'S

ADVICE THAT SHE GIVE ME, 'CAUSE

IT LET ME KNOW, LIKE,

HOW WOMEN FEEL ABOUT THINGS.

SO I MIGHT THINK

ABOUT GETTING HER THE SCOOT,

BUT I GOT MOMMA DEE GIFT

OF GOOD NEWS RIGHT NOW.

I'M GETTIN' BACK WITH THE BAMBI.

YOU FEEL ME?

I'MA KEEP IT REAL WITH YOU,

'CAUSE YOU KNOW I REALLY--

I REALLY LOVE BAM.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

I MET WITH BAM LIKE THAT,

YOU FEEL ME?

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I'MA GIVE BAMBI HER PROPS.

THE BAMBI IS YOUR WOMAN,

AND I GOT TO ACCEPT THAT.

BAMBI. HER NAME IS BAMBI.

NO, NOT UNTIL YOU SAY "I DO."

'CAUSE I ALREADY--

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

'CAUSE I ALREADY DONE

GAVE HER A RING.

YOU GAVE HER A WHAT?

I GAVE HER A RING, MOM.

WITHOUT MY PERMISSION?

MA, LISTEN--

BABY,

I'M NOT GONNA SIT IN MY PALACE

AND THINK YOU GONNA DETHRONE ME.

IT AIN'T NO ENGAGEMENT RING.

NO, I'M NOT GIVING YOU THAT.

YOU NOT GONNA COME IN MY PALACE

AND DETHRONE ME.

IT'S NOT AN ENGAGEMENT RING.

WELL, WHAT IS IT?

IT'S A PROMISE

FRIENDSHIP LOVE RING.

LIKE, IT'S--YOU KNOW.

NO.

[laughing]

SO SCRAPPY THINK HE'S FUNNY

TO SCARE ME HALF TO DEATH

LIKE THAT?

REALLY, SCRAPPY?

EVEN THOUGH IT'S

JUST A FRIENDSHIP RING,

HE HAS NO BUSINESS

PROMISING THE BAMBI ANY RING

WITHOUT COMING TO ME.

LORD, GOD, JESUS,

I SEE MORE WORK

FOR ME IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

YOU GAVE THE BAMBI

A FRIENDSHIP RING.

FRIENDSHIP PROMISE LOVE RING.

OKAY, SO THEY

DON'T INCLUDE ERICA PINKETT.

NO.

SHE DON'T GET

A FRIENDSHIP RING.

NO.

SO YOU AIN'T

ALL OVER THE PLACE?

NO, I'M NOT.

ENOUGH ABOUT PINKETT,

ENOUGH ABOUT ALL THAT.

WHAT I NEED--

A SCOOTER.

NO, NO, NO.

I'M GLAD YOU SAID THAT.

CAN I SEE YOUR WATCH?

TIME TICKING.

TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK.

YOU KNOW WHAT, MA?

I WANT TO KNOW HOW THAT MOUSE

CLIMB UP THAT CLOCK DOOR, HM.

THIS IS WHAT YOU DON'T GET.

I UNDERSTAND THIS.

DO YOU?

'CAUSE I'VE NEVER JUDGED YOU

FOR [bleep] YOU'VE EVER DONE.

AM I JUDGING YOU NOW?

AM I JUDGING YOU RIGHT NOW?

"OH, YOU A PORN STAR."

I SAID THAT TO YOU JOKINGLY.

SO WE WERE INVITED HERE.

YES.

HAVE YOU TALKED TO HER?

I DID TALK TO HER BUT NOT

ABOUT THE TAPE.

SO Y'ALL NEVER

DISCUSSED ANYTHING.

WE TALKED ABOUT HER DAD.

HE HAD TO GET HIS LEG AMPUTATED.

OH, NO.

SO YOU DIDN'T HEAR

ABOUT THE STROKE?

NO.

HER DAD HAD A STROKE.

I HAVEN'T TALKED TO MIMI

SINCE WE WERE AT THE SPA.

I JUST KNOW SHE'S GONNA

GET OVERLY DEFENSIVE

AND COME IN HERE

WITH THIS ATTITUDE,

BUT I'M NOT HERE FOR ALL THAT.

LIKE, I JUST--

I REALLY WANT YOU TO--

I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW

HOW I FEEL AS YOUR FRIEND.

RIGHT.

LIKE, THIS AIN'T NO FLYBY,

NO WAVE KIND OF THING.

HI, LADIES.

WHAT'S UP?

HI.

HEY.

I JUST LEFT MY DAD

IN NEW YORK.

HE'S DOING BETTER, THANK GOD.

NOW I HAVE SOME THINGS

I NEED TO HANDLE IN MY OWN LIFE.

I'VE BEEN HEARING THAT MY GIRLS

FEEL SOME TYPE OF WAY

ABOUT MY SEX TAPE.

SO I INVITED THEM ALL OUT

TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT

AND BE DONE

WITH THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL.

I TALKED TO ERICA.

I KNOW HOW ERICA FEELS.

SO I CALLED Y'ALL HERE TO--

IT'S ON THE TABLE RIGHT NOW.

AND TALK ABOUT IT.

WELL, WHEN I

INITIALLY SAW IT, I WAS LIKE,

"THIS IS NOT A SEX TAPE."

WHEN I LOOKED AT IT,

I WAS LIKE, "THIS BITCH LOOK

LIKE A MOVIE," BUT YOU SAYING

IT'S SOMETHING ELSE.

HEY, WE WOULD HOPE THAT IT IS

WHAT YOU SAYING IT IS.

SO YOU THINK I LIED TO YOU?

I DID.

WOW.

IT LOOKED PRETTY MOVIE-LIKE.

THEY CUT IT AND SLOWED

IT DOWN AND SPEEDED IT UP

AND ADDED MUSIC.

YEAH,

ONCE YOU PUT ALL THAT [bleep],

IT'S GONNA LOOK

REAL [bleep] FANCY.

LET ME ASK YOU THIS.

WHEN YOU GUYS WERE SITTING DOWN

AND TALKING, WHAT WAS

NIKKO'S WHOLE SWAG LIKE?

HE IS ABOUT HIS [bleep]

MONEY, PERIOD.

I'M NOT TRYING--

I WANT TO QUESTION, LIKE...

I CAN'T EVEN EAT.

NIKKO AS A--I KNOW.

I WAS ABOUT TO SAY

THE SAME THING.

LIKE, AS A MAN, LIKE, I DON'T

WANT THE WORLD SEEING MY LADY.

SO I'MA TRY TO DO

WHAT I NEED TO DO TO STOP THIS.

FOR HER DAUGHTER.

THAT TOO.

FOR HER DAUGHTER FIRST.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS,

AM I GONNA CRY

ABOUT WHAT I COULD HAVE DONE,

OR AM I GONNA THINK ABOUT

WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW TODAY

AND WHAT I GOT TO DO

FROM RIGHT NOW MOVING FORWARD?

NOBODY'S HERE TO JUMP ON YOU,

MIMI, LIKE--

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

I JUST--YOU'RE JUST

SO LIKE THIS.

IF YOU'RE MY FRIEND,

I NEED YOU TO BE MY FRIEND.

THIS IS WHAT YOU DON'T GET.

I UNDERSTAND THIS.

DO YOU?

'CAUSE I'VE NEVER JUDGED YOU

FOR [bleep] YOU'VE EVER DONE.

AM I JUDGING YOU RIGHT NOW?

DON'T GET LOUD, Y'ALL.

ARIANE, IT HAS BEEN

SEVERAL TIMES.

BUT AM I JUDGING HER NOW?

IS THIS ME JUDGING?

I JUST SAID--

SEVERAL TIMES.

"OH, YOU A PORN STAR."

I SAID THAT TO YOU JOKINGLY.

JOKINGLY.

IT WAS.

THAT'S A JOKE?

MIMI, IT WAS A JOKE,

BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK

IT WAS AN ACTUAL PORN.

I MADE A DECISION,

AND I'MA LIVE BY MY DECISION

NO MATTER HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT,

YOU OR YOU.

WHY ARE YOU CRYING, ARIANE?

MIMI, WE HAVE GONE

THROUGH SO MUCH.

IT JUST SUCKS TO HEAR YOU SAY,

"OH, WELL, I DON'T NEED

TO BE JUDGED BY YOU.

YOU DON'T DO THIS."

LIKE, WHAT--

BUT YOU JUDGE ME

IN MY RELATIONSHIPS.

NO.

YES, YOU DO.

I'M NOT JUDGING

YOU IN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS.

I ASK YOU PERSONAL THINGS

BECAUSE, MIMI, IT BOTHERS ME

THAT YOU KEEP CHOOSING

THE SAME KIND OF GUY.

LET ME TELL YOU THE

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ME AND YOU.

I WILL KEEP MY OPINION TO MYSELF

IF I DON'T LIKE

WHOEVER IT IS THAT YOU [bleep].

I HAVE AN OPINION

ABOUT SOMETHING.

YOU GOT SOMETHING

TO SAY ABOUT HIM ALL THE TIME.

I DON'T LIKE HIM. SO WHAT?

OKAY, THAT'S FINE.

LOOK, YOU DON'T LIKE HIM.

IT'S BEEN DECLARED.

WHAT'S DONE IS DONE.

YOU GOT TO HANDLE THE SITUATION

THE BEST WAY

YOU KNOW HOW AT THIS POINT.

I DID SOMETHING

THAT I CAN'T TAKE BACK,

AND I GOT TO LIVE WITH THAT.

AND GUESS WHAT?

I'M OKAY WITH THAT.

IF YOU CAN LIVE WITH IT,

ALL THE THREE OF US DAMN SURE

GONNA LIVE WITH IT,

AND THAT'S JUST WHAT IT IS.

AND THAT'S MY THING.

EVERYBODY'S LIKE,

"ARE YOU OKAY?"

LIKE I'M A CORNER

ABOUT TO SLIT MY WRIST.

NO, I DONE BEEN

THROUGH WORSE [bleep] THAN THIS.

I MEAN, DO YOU HAVE ANY

REGRETS ON IT AT ALL?

DO YOU?

EXCUSE ME, RASHEEDA.

HOW'S YOUR DAD DOING?

IS YOUR DAD OKAY?

[sighs]

MY DAD JUST HAD HIS LEG

AMPUTATED.

HE'S STILL NOT ABLE TO SPEAK.

SO I GOT TO FIGURE OUT AT

THIS POINT, WHAT AM I GONNA DO,

BECAUSE I GOT TO FIGURE OUT

WHAT I'MA DO WITH MY FATHER.

I'M DEALING WITH THIS AND THAT

SIMULTANEOUSLY.

WELL, I'M SO SORRY

TO HEAR THAT.

I JUST WANT SOMEBODY

IN MY CORNER TO JUST BE THERE

TO JUST BE LIKE, "NO MATTER

WHAT THE [bleep], I'M WITH YOU."

THAT'S WHAT WE ALL JUST SAID.

WE VOICED OUR OPINIONS,

BUT WE LETTING YOU KNOW,

LIKE, WE SUPPORT YOU.

WE GOT YOUR BACK.

I MEAN, THE THING IS,

IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE DYNAMIC

OF OUR FRIENDSHIP.

YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY DO [bleep]

YOU DON'T AGREE WITH.

EACH PERSON GOT TO LIVE

WITH THE [bleep]

THEY DECIDE TO DO IN THEIR LIFE.

AND THAT'S THE THING. WE'RE

GONNA MOVE ON FROM THIS TOO.

I KNOW WE ARE,

BUT I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW

HOW I JUST REALLY

SINCERELY FELT ABOUT IT.

LIKE, MIMI, WHEN I SAW IT,

I WAS REALLY SHAKING.

YOU ACT

LIKE IT'S HAPPENING TO YOU.

I FEEL LIKE IT.

ARIANE NEEDS TO DRY

HER [bleep] TEARS

AND MOVE ON WITH HER LIFE.

I CAN'T SPEND ANY MORE TIME

COMFORTING HER

THROUGH THIS MESS.

IT'S MY PROBLEM, NOT HERS.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

STOP FIGHTING ME.

I'M NOT FIGHTING.

WE GONNA GO TO SLEEP ON THIS.

I WANT TO LOOK YOU EYE TO EYE.

AND I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING

THAT YOU TOLD ALL OF US

ABOUT THE TAPE AS FAR

IT GETTING LEAKED AND THAT'S THE

REASON NIKKO PUT IT OUT THERE--

THAT IS THE GOD HONEST TRUTH.

YES.

WHY WOULD I LIE

ABOUT THIS [bleep]?

THAT'S ALL I NEEDED TO KNOW.

AS LONG AS I DON'T HEAR THAT

MIMI WAS INVOLVED IN SOME SLICK

[bleep] ABOUT PUTTING THIS TAPE

OUT FOR SOME MONEY, I'M COOL.

OBVIOUSLY, MIMI

IS ADAMANT ABOUT HER POSITION,

SO I HAVE TO TRUST HER.

EVERYBODY--EVERYBODY'S GONNA

HAVE THEIR OPINION

ABOUT THIS [bleep].

"OH, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS,

AND IT LOOKS LIKE THAT."

AND I KNOW WHAT THE [bleep]

IT IS.

SO I DON'T KNOW

WHAT ELSE TO SAY.

I FEEL LIKE I DON'T KNOW

WHO MIMI IS ANYMORE.

I FEEL LIKE SHE'S LOST HERSELF

AND SHE'S ACTING IRRATIONALLY

TOWARDS THE PEOPLE

THAT REALLY CARE AND LOVE HER.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW THAT I

CAN TRUST WHAT YOU'RE SAYING

IS TRUE.

THAT'S ALL.

I JUST HOPE THAT YOU

DID NOT LIE ABOUT IT.

IT'S BEEN DECLARED.

JUST LEAVE IT ALONE.

HOW DID I END UP

IN THE MAGAZINE WITH THE COVER

OF YOUR BABY MAMA IN THERE

TALKING ABOUT A SEX TAPE?

I WANT TO BE IN A MAGAZINE--

YOU DESERVE THE--

STEVIE AND BENZINO

TELL ME THEY WANT TO PUT ME

IN THE ISSUE OF HIP HOP WEEKLY.

I'M EXCITED. I'M HAPPY.

OKAY, CENTERFOLD. THAT'S COOL.

I COULD DO CENTERFOLD.

WHEN I SEE THE [bleep] MAGAZINE,

THIS IS A JOKE RIGHT HERE?

NO.

THAT'S A JOKE.

YOU NEED TO FIX

YOUR [bleep] SMIRK IN YOUR FACE.

I'M NOT SMIRKING. LOOK.

I'M NOT TECHNICALLY TALKING

YOU SEE THIS?

YEAH.

I'M TALKING ABOUT THIS.

THAT'S A JOKE?

I'M ASKING YOU

A [bleep] QUESTION, STEVIE,

'CAUSE I'M REALLY SICK OF YOU.

NO, THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME

I'M SEEING THIS.

DID YOU KNOW

THIS WAS GOING IN THE COVER?

STEVIE MUST REALLY THINK

I'M STUPID.

AS A PARTNER

OF THIS MAGAZINE,

YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME

YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THE

[bleep] IS GOING IN THE COVER?

THAT'S SOME BULL[bleep],

STEVIE.

DID YOU THINK

I WOULD AGREE WITH THIS?

TELL THE TRUTH.

THAT'S THE CENTERFOLD.

THIS IS THE BEST PART

OF ANY MAGAZINE.

I WANT YOU TO OVERSHADOW HER.

I'M GONNA DO THAT ANYWAY.

THAT'S WHAT I SAID.

MY WHOLE THING IS, I'M UPSET

BECAUSE YOU TRYING TO PLAY ME.

YOU OBVIOUSLY KNEW ABOUT THIS.

YOU NEVER TOLD ME THIS--

I NEED TO SPEAK TO ZINO

ABOUT THIS, OKAY?

OH, YOU NEED TO SPEAK

TO ZINO.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU NEED

TO SPEAK TO ZINO ABOUT--

'CAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW

IT WAS GOING DOWN LIKE THIS.

YOU KNEW, STEVIE.

YOU KNEW YOU'D DISRESPECT ME,

AND YOU DISRESPECT OUR UNION

AND OUR "MARRIAGE."

WE TALKED ABOUT IT,

BUT I NEVER SANCTIONED IT.

YOU TALKED ABOUT IT.

BUT I NEVER SANCTIONED

NOTHING.

SO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME--

GIVE ME--HOLD UP.

YOU MEAN TO TELL ME

YOU TALKED ABOUT THIS COVER--

LET ME FINISH, 'CAUSE

I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO HIT YOU

ACROSS YOUR HEAD

WITH THE [bleep] MAGAZINE,

OH, YOU NEED TO.

THE WAY YOU TALKING

TO ME IS DISRESPECTFUL.

THIS IS DISRESPECTFUL.

I DIDN'T DO--I AIN'T HAVE

NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

YOU HAD A LOT TO DO WITH IT.

I AIN'T KNOW THAT Z

WAS GONNA PUT MIMI

ON THE COVER OF THE MAGAZINE

WITHOUT TALKING TO ME FIRST.

FELT LIKE ZINO WENT BEHIND

MY BACK ON THIS ONE RIGHT HERE.

NOW JOSELINE

ABOUT TO RIP MY HEAD OFF.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

YOU DON'T KNOW

HOW TO TREAT YOUR WIFE.

YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT--

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR NOTHING.

YOU DIDN'T DO YOUR JOB,

'CAUSE I ASKED YOU AND BENZINO

NOT TO PUT ME--

TO BE PREGNANT IN A HOUSE

WITH A BUNCH OF DAMN MOLD.

NORMALLY, THE LINE IS DARKER.

MAYBE THAT--

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

IT COULD MEAN THAT THERE'S

PROBLEMS WITH THE PREGNANCY.

I'M SO SORRY.

MY DADDY

REALLY WAS MY FRIEND, YOU KNOW.

I KNOW.

AND THEN STEVIE

JUST DID NOT HELP.

HER DAD JUST DIED.

I FEEL LIKE SHE'S

WEARING THIS SMILE

OF WHAT'S REALLY HURTING HER.

SO WHAT'S HURTING HER?

YOU GOT TO KNOW.

YOU.

ARE YOU STILL SEEING HER?

I AM NO LONGER CHEATING

OKAY.

IS THAT JOC OVER THERE?

I CAN'T BELIEVE
