* SHE SAY SHE WANT TO GET

♪ TO KNOW ME

♪ EVEN THOUGH SHE SMASHED

♪ HER HOMIE

SO YOU DID A VIDEO

ABOUT "SMASHED A HOMIE,"

BUT YOU SWORE TO GOD

YOU AIN'T SMASHED A HOMIE.

TODAY I'LL BE CHECKING MYSELF

INTO A DRUG REHABILITATION.

SO DO ONE THING FOR ME:

FROM THE TIME YOU WALK AWAY

FROM HERE TO THE TIME

I GET OUT, THINK ABOUT

GETTING MARRIED AGAIN.

I'VE BEEN SITTING HERE

THINKING, YOU KNOW, MOVING

FORWARD WITH FILING THE DIVORCE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO SHOW

HER THAT YOU LOVE HER?

I'M THINKING ABOUT

A NEW WHIP, SOME BAGS,

SOME SHOES.

HOW ABOUT A WHIP

FILLED WITH BAGS AND SHOES?

"I'M RASHEEDA.

I RAP LIKE SHAWTY LO."

AH!

GET OUT OF MY FACE.

OH, MY GOD, NO!

YOU AND RASHEEDA LESBIAN

RELATIONSHIP, Y'ALL CAN KEEP

THAT [bleep].

I WANT TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE

GIFT, AND I WANT YOU TO THINK

ABOUT WHAT WE SPOKE ON BEFORE

WE CAME TO PUERTO RICO.

MAYBE YOU READY TO MARRY ME NOW.

WHAT?

YO.

WHAT'S THIS?

THIS A RING.

SO--SO I DON'T--I DON'T GET

WHAT YOU ASKING ME.

YOU ASKING ME?

I'M ASKING YOU TO MARRY ME.

WE SAID WE WAS GONNA BECOME ONE

AND WE WAS GONNA BE BUSINESS

PARTNERS AND LOVERS FOREVER.

AND I THINK IT'S JUST--

I THINK WE SHOULD JUST GO AHEAD

AND DO IT.

I'M GONNA SAY...

THAT WE GOT TIME,

AND I'M GONNA PUT THIS ON,

RIGHT?

AND I'M NOT GONNA SAY YEAH

RIGHT NOW, AND I'M NOT GONNA

SAY NO RIGHT NOW.

I'M SAYING WE GOT TIME.

AND I WANT TO KEEP THIS, THOUGH,

'CAUSE...

YOU'RE SPECIAL TO ME.

FIRST AND FOREMOST,

A MAN SUPPOSED TO ASK A WOMAN

TO MARRY HIM.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT

A ANSWER, JUST TAKE THE ANSWER

I GAVE YOU AND JUST WAIT.

PATIENCE IS THE KEY

TO EVERYTHING GREAT, BABY.

THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME

BECAUSE I KNOW THAT ALL I GOT

TO DO IS WORK A LITTLE BIT

HARDER, AND WE CAN MAKE THIS

HAPPEN.

FOR HIM TO PUT THAT RING

ON THAT FINGER, I KNOW HE

DEFINITELY WANTS TO MAKE A MOVE.

I'M NOT SAYING THAT WE'RE GONNA

GO GET MARRIED SIX MONTHS OR

TOMORROW OR THE NEXT DAY,

BUT WHERE HE GONNA GO?

FROM THIS TO WHAT?

SO LET'S SEE HOW LONG

IT TAKE HIM TO GET ME

MY ENGAGEMENT RING.

IT'S ABOUT THAT SOLID

COMMITMENT TO ME

YOU'VE BEEN ROCKING EVERY DAY

DAMN NEAR FOR, LIKE, OVER

A YEAR NOW.

AND I'M FEELING THAT IT COULD

HAPPEN.

BUT I TRAVELED DOWN THIS ROAD

BEFORE.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU,

AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO HURT

ME.

I WOULD NEVER HURT YOU.

AND YOU KNOW THAT.

SO WE LIFE PARTNERS?

LIFE PARTNERS.

THEN PUT IT ON RIGHT, THEN.

THANK YOU, DADDY,

FOR WEARING MY RING.

IT'S ALL GOOD.

I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU TOO.

I LOVE YOU.

AW...

I GOT TO JUST SPOT YOU ONE.

[laughter and shouting]

Y'ALL GETTING IT IN.

LOOK AT Y'ALL.

OH, GOD.

YOU'RE DOING SUCH A GOOD JOB.

WITH KIRK OUT OF THE HOUSE,

I HAD TO, BOOM, BOOM, PICK UP

THE PHONE, CALL MY GIRLS UP,

'CAUSE I WANT TO PAINT THE BABY

ROOM, AND I NEED SOME HELP.

I HOOKED THEM UP WITH SOME

DRINKS AND PASSED THEM

SOME PAINT BRUSHES.

THANK Y'ALL SO MUCH.

WHY YOU PICK THIS COLOR?

OH, OKAY.

SO I PICKED THAT COLOR

BECAUSE I WAS TRYING

TO FOOL Y'ALL,

BUT IT'S A BOY,

SO IT'S GONNA BE, LIKE,

A CREAM AND BLUE.

I HAVE THE BLUE HERE TOO.

I AIN'T BREAK THAT OUT.

I'M SO EXCITED.

IT'S SUCH A BLESSING,

AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR HIM

TO GET HERE.

THE BLESSING PART IS,

I'VE HAD AN AMAZING PREGNANCY.

BUT THE [bleep]-UP PART

ABOUT EVERYTHING IS,

ME AND KIRK HAVE BEEN GOING

THROUGH IT.

I'M SURE Y'ALL MAY HAVE HEARD

AND SEEN,

YOU KNOW, IN THE BLOGS.

YOU ALREADY KNOW.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

I DONE TALKED TO YOU ABOUT IT.

AND I TALKED TO ALL Y'ALL

ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M

SAYING?

AND THINGS ESCALATED EVEN MORE

TO MORE BLOGS, MORE PICTURES.

SO I WENT AND TALKED

TO AN ATTORNEY

ABOUT SEPARATION.

YOU HAVE TO STAY--

YOU'RE MY INSPIRATION.

YES, JESUS.

AND PEOPLE BE SAYING THAT.

THEY'D BE LIKE, "IF Y'ALL

BREAK UP, IT'S OVER.

IT'S OVER FOR EVERYBODY."

AND I'M SITTING HERE LIKE,

"DON'T PUT THAT PRESSURE ON ME

LIKE THAT."

[laughter]

WHAT IS HE SAYING?

WHAT HE'S SAYING IS,

"I'M SORRY.

I FELT LIKE IT WAS JUST BAD

TIME.

I WANT TO BE WITH MY FAMILY.

I WANT TO BE WITH YOU."

YOU KNOW--

BUT FOR HOW LONG?

EH, THAT'S MY THING.

IT FEELS ALL TOO FAMILIAR.

ONE MINUTE, KIRK WANTS HIS

FAMILY, AND THE NEXT MINUTE,

HE WANT TO LAY UP WITH A HO.

THESE MEN HAVE TO REALIZE

THEY CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.

I SAW A PRESS CONFERENCE

ABOUT SCRAPPY AND HIS

WEED SITUATION

AND HIS REHABILITATION.

WHAT IS GOING ON?

THE LAST TIME I TALKED TO

HIM, HE WAS GOING INTO REHAB.

HE WANTED TO CHANGE.

AND...

HE TOLD ME THAT HE IS SORRY

THAT I HAD TO ENDURE

ALL THE DRAMA WITH HIM

AND HIS MOTHER.

AND HE'S NEVER APOLOGIZED

FOR THAT.

AND JUST, YOU KNOW,

HOW MUCH HE LOVE ME,

AND HE'S SORRY.

AND HE WAS JUST LIKE,

YOU KNOW, "AND I WANT YOU

TO JUST REALLY CONSIDER

OUR ENGAGEMENT."

LIKE...

[all gasp]

YES.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I HAD

TO REALIZE?

I DON'T HAVE TO BE WITH SCRAPPY

TO HAVE A FAMILY.

AMEN.

OKAY.

I'M HAPPY SINGLE

AND DRAMA-FREE.

YES.

TOAST TO THAT, HONEY.

WE GONNA TOAST TO BEING

DRAMA-FREE AND, WHAT ELSE?

AND AIN'T TAKING NO [bleep].

[laughter]

TOAST TO THAT.

IN REHAB,

YOU KNOW, THERE'S NEW RULES,

NEW EVERYTHING,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

AND ONE THING MOST OF ALL:

I AM NOT SCRAPPY IN THIS THING.

I AM DARRYL.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

DARRYL RICHARDSON II.

[skillet hissing]

I KNOW THIS AIN'T JAIL,

BUT IT'S STILL HELL,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING,

'CAUSE I'M CONFINED.

I CAN'T EVEN GO NOWHERE.

SO ALL I'M DOING NOW IS,

YOU KNOW, I'M JUST THINKING,

LIKE, HOW THE HELL I GET MYSELF

INTO THIS [bleep]?

HEY!

HEY, MAMA.

MAMA BIG MAN.

HOW YOU DOING?

I MISS YOU.

AND THE WAY I SEE IT,

IT'S ALL THE WOMEN IN MY LIFE,

STARTING WITH MY MOM.

SO WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU?

YEAH, MAN, IT'S JUST,

DETOXING, THINKING BETTER,

FEELING BETTER, WORKING OUT.

OH, REALLY?

THAT'S GOOD.

THAT TAKE--I'M VERY PROUD OF

YOU, I MUST SAY, BECAUSE IT DOES

TAKE A BIG MAN TO UNDERSTAND

WHERE HE IS AND WHERE NEEDS

TO GET TO IN LIFE, YOU KNOW?

WELL, I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE

'CAUSE BASICALLY, YOU KNOW,

YOU, ERICA, SHAY...

Y'ALL GOT ME--

YOU KNOW, Y'ALL HAD ME SMOKING

HEAVY, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

HAD ME JUST GOING, GOING, GOING

'CAUSE I AIN'T EVEN WANT TO,

YOU KNOW--

DEAL WITH US.

I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING

ABOUT THE TRIGGERS

WITH ME, ERICA, AND SHAY,

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,

WE ALL HAVE A CHOICE TO MAKE.

NO ONE'S CONTROLLING US,

SO WE DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO.

YOU DIDN'T SMOKE BECAUSE

OF ME, SHAY, AND ERICA.

I AIN'T PUT NO JOINT

UP TO MY MOUTH.

IT'S BEEN YOU ALL THE WHILE.

SO I NEED FOR YOU TO STAND UP

AND BE THAT MAN THAT I TAUGHT

YOU TO BE AND STOP POINTING

THE FINGER AT MOI.

LOOK, MA, HALF OF MY PROBLEM,

THE REASON WHY I WAS SMOKING,

THESE HABITS, IS YOU.

HALF?

I PICK UP--

NOT EVEN 1/3?

NAW, HALF OF IT.

YOU CAN'T GO DOWN TO 1/3?

THE FIRST--LET ME TELL YOU--

YOU CAN'T GO DOWN--

YOU--BUST YOUR BUTT, BOY.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU GOT

TO LEARN HOW TO DO,

WHICH YOU AIN'T--

I KNOW IT'S HARD FOR YOU TO DO?

BE THE BIGGER PERSON.

LIKE, WE'RE FAMILY,

SUPPOSED TO BE FAMILY.

EVERYBODY RESPECT EACH OTHER,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

WHAT--WHAT YOU AND ERICA GOT,

THAT'S SOMETHING I CAN'T

EVEN CONTROL, BUT AT THE SAME

TIME, I CAN'T ASK MY MOM

CONTINUOUSLY LIKE I DO

TO PLEASE RESPECT HER,

BECAUSE IT DON'T LOOK RIGHT

TO HER GRANDDAUGHTER.

YOU CAN'T MAKE ME ACCEPT HER.

EVERY MAMA--EVERY MAMA--

YOU CAN'T MAKE NOBODY--

I CAN'T MAKE MY MAMA ACCEPT

NOBODY.

I'M COMING TO SEE HOW GOOD

YOU'RE DOING, AND ALL I'VE HEARD

ABOUT...

BUT GUESS WHAT.

WHAT I'M DOING.

AND THAT'S NOT GONNA ROCK.

BUT GUESS WHAT.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S GONNA ROCK?

THAT'S NOT GONNA ROCK.

IT'S GONNA ROCK.

LISTEN.

YOU KEEP TRYING TO MAKE ME

ACCEPT.

NO, NO, THIS WHAT I'M GONNA

TELL YOU, THOUGH.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO ACCEPT HER,

BUT HOW DOES IT LOOK BEING

HALF A FAMILY, THOUGH?

YOU KNOW, I CHOSE ERICA TO BE

MY BABY MAMA, AND THAT'S THE WAY

IT IS.

WHETHER ME AND ERICA TOGETHER

OR NOT, WE STILL FAMILY.

WE GOT A KID TOGETHER.

SO IT'S EITHER GET WITH

THE PROGRAM, MAMA,

OR, YOU KNOW, I GOT TO MOVE ON

AND DO WHAT I GOT TO DO.

ME AND YOU CONNECT BECAUSE

YOU'RE MY MAMA AND YOU'RE IN

MY LIFE.

AND THE ONLY REASON WHY YOU

TALKING TO ME NOW IS...

ALL RIGHT, DARRYL.

BECAUSE YOU'RE MY MAMA.

ALL RIGHT, DARRYL.

SO CHILL OUT, DEBORAH.

MM-HMM. REALLY?

YEAH.

JUST MAKE IT EASY FOR YOURSELF

AND ME, EMANI, EVERYBODY,

AND BE A GRANDMA.

WELL--

SO WE GONNA LET SCRAPPY

BE GROWN, AND WE GONNA LET

MAMA DO HER THING

ON WHATEVER THRONE SHE'S SITTING

ON, AND WE GONNA KEEP IT MOVING.

ALWAYS.

[horn honks]

LOOK AT ME AND LISTEN

TO WHAT I'M TELLING YOU.

DO I ACCEPT THE APOLOGY

AT THIS VERY MOMENT?

NO, I DON'T.

IT SAYS,

"J LOVE SJ, PARTNERS FOR LIFE."

YEAH, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THAT

MEANS, THOUGH.

THAT MEANS LIFE PARTNER GANG.

LPG, BABY.

JOSELINE, THIS LIFE PARTNER

SCENARIO, I WANT TO MAKE IT

OFFICIAL.

HEY, BOO.

HELLO.

SEXY.

WHAT'S UP, BABY?

YOU LOOK SEXY,

GOT THEM THINGS OUT.

YOU LOOK FLY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, BABE.

THE LAST FEW MONTHS

IN ATLANTA HAVE BEEN A CRAZY

RIDE FOR ME.

YOU KNOW, ME AND MY MOUTH,

WE'VE MANAGED TO RUB SOME

PEOPLE THE WRONG WAY.

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,

THEY CAN'T STAY AWAY FROM ME.

SO TONIGHT I DECIDED TO INVITE

A BUNCH OF MY FRIENDS TOGETHER,

YOU KNOW, TO CLOSE THIS CHAPTER

OF MY LIFE.

I GOT AN ANNOUNCEMENT.

WELL, GOOD, 'CAUSE I GOT

TO TELL YOU SOMETHING TOO.

AND SINCE MIMI WASN'T

AVAILABLE 'CAUSE SHE WAS NURSING

HER TA-TAS, I INVITED

MY NEW HOMEGIRL JOSELINE.

SO I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT

THAT I WANT TO TELL EVERYBODY.

I AM MOVING TO NEW YORK CITY.

I'M LEAVING ATLANTA OFFICIALLY.

UM, IT'S REALLY--I'VE OUTGROWN

BEING HERE.

WHAT YOU OUTGROWN?

I THINK YOU'RE MAKING

A GREAT MOVE.

MY STUDIO'S THERE,

MANAGEMENT, RECORD LABEL,

AND I'M READY TO--

I'M JUST READY TO HAVE FUN,

AND I LOVE NEW YORK.

I'M READY TO DATE.

GO, GIRL.

[laughter]

WELL, THIS LOVE LIFE OF MINE.

I'VE NOT HAD SEX

IN EIGHT MONTHS.

AIN'T NO WAY.

I CAN'T GO--BITCH, I CAN'T GO

TWO DAYS WITHOUT NO [bleep].

WELL--

I GETS BEEFCAKE EVERY DAY.

[laughter]

JOSELINE WAS ACTUALLY

QUITE NICE AND FRIENDLY

THAT DAY, 'CAUSE, YOU KNOW,

THE LAST TIME YOU SEEN ME

WITH HER, I WAS GOD DANG

RAG-TAGGING THAT ASS.

I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I GUESS I CAN TELL YOU

IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY.

OH, MY GOD.

WHOO!

WAIT, WHOA.

SO JOSELINE GOT TO TELL YOU

SOMETHING, YOU NEED DOUBLE

SHOTS.

WHAT DO YOU GOT TO TELL US?

ME AND STEVIE GOT ENGAGED.

OH!

LET ME SEE.

THAT'S THE RING?

I ASKED HIM.

STEVIE GAVE YOU THAT RING?

I ALREADY HAD THIS RING,

BUT I GAVE HIM A NEW RING.

AND I WAS LIKE, LOOK...

OH, WAIT.

YOU PROPOSED TO HIM?

THAT'S RIGHT.

OKAY, OKAY.

WHERE'S YOUR RING

THAT HE BOUGHT YOU?

BUT SHE PROPOSED TO HIM,

SO THERE WAS NO RING FROM

STEVIE.

I DON'T GIVE A [bleep]

WHAT NOBODY SAY.

OH, IS HE SERIOUS?

I SEE YOUR PASSION MORE

THAN I SEE HIS,

AND THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

I SEE SHE'S SO DRIVEN

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

BECAUSE WE'RE WOMEN.

THAT'S WITH ANY WOMAN.

THAT'S JUST NOT ME.

DO YOU HAVE A MAN?

NO, I DON'T,

AND I DON'T REALLY WANT ONE.

SHE DON'T WANT NO [bleep].

DON'T CUT ME OFF, ARIANE.

DO YOU LIKE GIRLS?

LOVE THEM.

WHERE YOU BEEN?

I LIKE [bleep], TOO,

BUT STILL, DAMN.

I NEED [bleep].

[laughter]

CAN'T STAND IT.

SAFE SEX AND PAYCHECKS

IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

AND WE WISH YOU THE BEST.

AND WE WISH YOU THE BEST

IN NEW YORK.

I WISH YOU THE BEST.

GIRL, THE HOT POCKET IS OPEN

FOR BUSINESS.

SLEAZE.

HEY, WHAT'S GOOD?

I SEE THIS VIDEO

THAT ZINO DOES.

A CORNY VIDEO, TERRIBLE VIDEO,

WITH A JOSELINE LOOK-A-LIKE.

CONGRATULATIONS

ON YOUR NEW RECORD, BABY.

I APPRECIATE IT.

THAT'S WHAT'S UP, BRO.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT GARBAGE CAN

HE FOUND OSCAR THE GROUCH OUT,

BUT IT'S NOT ABOUT JOSELINE

AT THIS POINT.

IT'S ABOUT ME.

LIKE, I KNOW YOU PROBABLY,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING,

WAS UPSET ABOUT IT,

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

NAW, THAT'S COOL.

YOU KNOW, IT IS WHAT IT IS.

SHE'S ALL RIGHT.

I KNOW I AM.

LIKE, I DIDN'T

MAKE THE VIDEO TO TRY

TO DISRESPECT.

NAW, IT WASN'T AT ME.

SHE'S A JOSELINE LOOK-A-LIKE.

NO, I'M NOT A JOSELINE

LOOK-A-LIKE.

THAT BITCH LOOK LIKE ME.

WE USED TO DANCE AT THE BLACK

FORMISHA--

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

OH, THAT'S OKAY, BABY.

'CAUSE EVERYBODY SAYS--

RELAX.

SORRY.

NO, SEE, FIRST--

LIKE, CHECK IT, LIKE,

AT THE END OF THE DAY,

WHATEVER WE GOING THROUGH

IS WHAT WE GOING THROUGH.

YEAH, YEAH, AND, YOU KNOW,

WE SHOULD JUST TALK WITHOUT

HER, MAYBE, YOU KNOW WHAT

I'M SAYING?

THAT'S FINE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

YEAH, GIVE US A LITTLE--

YEAH, I'LL BE BACK.

I'LL BE BACK.

KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING,

LET US--LET US COOL OUT.

AT THE END OF THE DAY,

ARIEL WAS THE ONE THAT

APPROACHED ME ANYWAYS.

YOU KNOW, I WAS IN MIAMI

MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS.

SHE SAID, "EXCUSE ME, HANDSOME,

CAN I TAKE A PICTURE?"

AND I SAID, "MOI?"

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

NEXT THING YOU KNOW,

SHE SAID THAT THEY CALL HER

THE FAKE JOSELINE.

REST WAS HISTORY.

I FEEL YOU.

LIKE, LET ME JUST TAKE

ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION

THAT HAPPENING WITHOUT

TRYING TO BE DISRESPECTFUL,

BUT--

YEAH, IF WE GONNA DO IT LIKE

THAT, THEN, YO, GIVE ME THAT

CALL LIKE, "YO, SLEAZE,

I'M ABOUT TO--HA-HA."

YOU RIGHT.

WE ABOUT TO SLIDE.

I WAS WRONG. I WAS WRONG.

LET ME KNOW THE PLACE

SO WE KNOW HOW--YOU KNOW WHAT

I'M SAYING?

I WAS WRONG. I WAS WRONG.

TRUST ME, MOTHER[bleep].

I'LL TAKE THE SONG OFF

ITUNES AND KEEP IT MOVING,

AND WE MOVING ON TO THE NEXT

THING.

THAT'S WHY I LOVE SLEAZE-O.

THAT'S MY BROTHER.

I PROBABLY WAS IN THE WRONG

PUTTING FAKE JOSELINE IN THERE,

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,

IT'S ALL ENTERTAINMENT.

AND LISTEN, IT'S JUST GOOD

THAT WE ALL FAMILY AGAIN.

JOSELINE'S YOUR LOVE,

AND I RESPECT THAT.

YEAH, WE'RE A LITTLE CLOSER

NOW, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE WAS OUT

IN PUERTO RICO, SHE ASKED ME

TO BE HER LIFE PARTNER.

IT SAYS, "J LOVE SJ,

PARTNERS FOR LIFE."

SO IF YOU GET MARRIED,

I'M YOUR BEST MAN?

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

I'M ABOUT THAT BREAD,

BUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN I DO,

YOU KNOW, OF COURSE.

YEAH, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THAT

MEANS, THOUGH.

THAT MEANS LIFE PARTNER GANG.

STEVIE TRY TO RUB HER NOSE

LET'S SEE THE [bleep].

THEY ARE HUGE.

IS THAT THE SIZE THEY'RE

KIND OF WEIRD.

THE ATTENDANCE OF K.'S

PARTY...

DO TELL.

UM, GIVE YOU A RUNDOWN.

OF COURSE ME AND ARIANE,

KARLIE, AND...

HUSTLING-HER-MAN-DEZ.

SHE WAS VERY PLEASANT.

SHOCKINGLY VERY.

THEN SHE PROCEEDED

TO SAY...

SHE GOT ENGAGED

IN PUERTO RICO.

[laughs]

SHE GOT HIM A RING.

SHE ASKED HIM.

[laughs]

WELL, I HOPE STEVIE IS A BETTER

MAN TO JOSELINE THAN HE WAS

TO ME, BECAUSE OF WHAT I DO

KNOW ABOUT STEVIE,

IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT MAN

IS COMMITTED TO,

IT'S HIS [bleep] AND SOME MONEY

AND NOTHING ELSE.

GOOD LUCK, GIRLFRIEND.

BUT THE THING IS, CLEARLY,

HE SAID YES.

IRONICALLY,

HE SENT ME A TEXT MESSAGE

WHEN THEY WERE OUT THERE

AND SAID, "DON'T BELIEVE

WHATEVER YOU'VE HEARD."

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS

TALKING ABOUT, SO I DIDN'T

RESPOND.

SO HE'S TALKING TO YOU

LIKE Y'ALL ARE TOGETHER STILL.

ALL THE TIME, RIGHT.

THIS THE [bleep] SHE DON'T KNOW,

BUT THAT'S HER BEST FRIEND...

[affecting Jamaican accent]

YOU KNOW HIM AND THAT'S YOUR

YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE

I WAS VERY DUMB AND VERY STUPID

FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

AND GUESS WHAT.

SHE'S GOING THROUGH

THE SAME [bleep]

ABSOLUTELY.

DO YOU THINK HE GONNA CHANGE?

NO, BOO BOO, HE GONNA DO

THE SAME [bleep] TO YOU.

SO HER PROBLEM NOW, NOT MINE.

YOU WANTED HIM.

YOU DEAL WITH IT.

AND CONGRATULATIONS.

I'M PROUD OF YOU. OKAY.

WHAT IF I BROUGHT RASHEEDA

TO A SITUATION, AND YOU

AND RASHEEDA CAN MEND YOUR WAYS

JUST LIKE YOU AND I,

ME AND JOSELINE.

I'MA LET RASHEEDA STAY

AFTER ALL THE [bleep]

COULD YOU BELIEVE WE'RE GOOD

FRIENDS NOW?

ALL IT TOOK WAS TWO GROWN-ASS

WOMEN SITTING DOWN LIKE

SO I FIGURED I'D BROKER ANOTHER

I GOT K. MICHELLE TO SIT DOWN

TO SIT DOWN WITH,

AND THAT'S RASHEEDA BABY.

HEY.

HELLO.

I THINK THIS BITCH'S HEAD

IS NOT ON STRAIGHT

OR SHE DONE BUMP [bleep]

OR SOMETHING, BECAUSE ME

BEING PREGNANT, WALKING

INTO A SITUATION WITH K.

MICHELLE, MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT

THING TO DO.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

[bleep] IT.

I'M HERE NOW.

LET'S SEE WHAT'S ABOUT

TO GO DOWN.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YOU GOOD?

TRYING TO HANG IN THERE.

HOW ABOUT YOU?

I'M A'IGHT.

KARLIE WAS LIKE, "RASHEEDA,

RASHEEDA--HOW ABOUT RASHEEDA--

YOU TALK TO RASHEEDA.

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH."

JOSELINE HAS SAID, "HOW ABOUT

YOU TALK TO RASHEEDA?"

MIMI, "WHY DON'T YOU TALK TO

RASHEEDA?"

I FEEL LIKE THIS IS ONE OF THE

BIGGEST STEPS FOR ME,

BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE

OUT OF ALL OF THE GIRLS,

YOU HURT ME THE MOST.

EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED

WITH ME AND RASHEEDA WAS BECAUSE

I NEVER WOULD EXPECT HER

TO COMMENT ON MY LIFE

THE WAY SHE DID.

I FEEL LIKE YOU COULD NEVER

TELL ANOTHER WOMAN WHAT SHE

BEEN THROUGH.

K., YOU GONNA HEAR

A WHOLE LOT OF STUFF

THAT YOU NOT GONNA LIKE,

BUT YOU CAN'T FIGHT EVERYBODY,

AND EVERYBODY FORMS...

AND YOU SO RIGHT.

THEY OWN OPINION,

AND YOU A STRONG, OPINIONATED

PERSON.

YOU SAY A LOT OF THINGS

TO HURT PEOPLE, K.

I CAN BE VERY HURTFUL.

I MEAN, OFF THE RIP.

I KNOW I CAN BE A BITCH, HON.

I KNOW I CAN BE A BITCH.

BUT SOMETIMES,

I'M JUST BEING FUNNY.

I DON'T EVEN MEAN IT.

I DON'T--I DON'T EVEN--

BUT I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU

NEED TO LEARN FROM,

BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO

UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE TAKE THAT.

EVEN THOUGH ME AND KIRK HAVE

OUR PROBLEMS, EVEN WITH YOU

SAYING A LOT OF STUFF

THAT YOU SAID ABOUT KIRK--

NO, I CAME AT YOU

OUT OF HURT.

I DIDN'T COME AT YOU

OUT OF ANGER.

MAYBE I DON'T COMMUNICATE RIGHT,

BUT I CAME AT YOU MORE

OUT OF HURT, BECAUSE I REALLY

RESPECTED RASHEEDA.

WE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FRIENDS,

AND I FEEL LIKE SHE STABBED

ME IN MY BACK.

BUT THAT WAS THEN.

THIS IS NOW.

AND IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON

AND LET IT GO.

I THOGUHT IF I WOULD SEE YOU,

I WOULD JUST WILD OUT

AND SCREAM AGAIN,

BUT I DON'T HATE--

I DON'T THINK THAT YOU'RE EVIL.

I'M MOVING TO NEW YORK,

AND I JUST FEEL LIKE

I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE NOTHING.

YOU KNOW, IT SHOULDN'T BE

NOTHING UNTOUCHED--

IT DON'T EVEN MATTER NO MORE

BECAUSE YOU GOING IN ONE

DIRECTION AND I'M GOING--

AND I DON'T WANT NO BAD

FOR YOU.

AND I DON'T WANT NO BAD

FOR YOU EITHER.

I WANT TO SEE YOU AND AT

LEAST BE ABLE TO SHAKE YOUR HAND

AND SAY, "YOU KNOW WHAT?

CONGRATULATIONS ON EVERYTHING

THAT YOU HAVE GOING."

AND I MEAN THAT FROM THE BOTTOM

OF MY HEART.

WELL, YOU SEEING HER RIGHT

NOW, SO SHAKE YOUR HANDS.

WE GOOD.

I CAN'T--YOU KNOW MY BIG ASS

STOMACH CAN'T LIFT ACROSS

THE GODDAMN TABLE.

WHAT IS THAT?

THE RING.

WOW.

WHAT'S UP, STEVIE?

HOW'S EVERYTHING?

HEY, MAN, I CAN'T COMPLAIN,

MAN.

I BROUGHT SOMEBODY, MAN.

HEY, JOSELINE.

I KNOW I WAS PROBABLY A LITTLE

WRONG FOR PUTTING JOSELINE

UNDER THE BUS LIKE THAT

IN THE VIDEO, BUT IF STEVIE J

AND JOSELINE'S BONNIE AND CLYDE,

THEN I'M JOHN DILLINGER.

SO COME ON, Y'ALL.

LET'S GO ROB THESE BANKS

TOGETHER, HUH?

HERE.

FIRST, PICKED UP A LITTLE

SOMETHING.

WOW.

JUST SOMETHING--

JUST A THOUGHT.

YEAH, LET ME SEE THIS.

OH, LOOK.

OOH.

JUST SOMETHING, JUST--

JUST SOMETHING TO--

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

JUST SOMETHING TO BREAK THE,

YOU KNOW...

YOU SAID THAT KARLIE

WAS LYING.

SHE WAS LYING.

AFTER YOU SAID SHE WAS LYING,

YOU GO TO MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT

"SMASHING THE HOMIE."

HOW DOES THAT--

OKAY, I MADE A MISTAKE.

AND, I MEAN, LIKE, I'M STILL

LEARNING, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

LIKE, I'M HUMAN,

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

NOBODY'S PERFECT.

WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GONNA

LEARN?

YOU GUYS ARE TWO GROWN MEN.

YOU GUYS ARE TWO--

SO YOU DON'T MAKE MISTAKES?

NO, I DON'T MAKE ANY

MISTAKES.

YOU GUYS ARE TWO GROWN MEN,

AND...

OH, B--

YOU SHOULDN'T BE LAUGHING

RIGHT NOW, 'CAUSE FOR REAL,

[bleep] ME.

Y'ALL WERE SUPPOSED TO BE

FRIENDS BEFORE ME.

AND YOU ARE TO RESPECT

YOUR FRIEND'S WOMAN.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

BUT I WANT TO MAKE UP FOR THAT.

I WANT TO MAKE UP FOR IT.

I LOVE STEVIE.

I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE BOTH OF Y'ALL.

AND IT'S GONNA TAKE TIME,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING,

TO GET THE TRUST BACK

BETWEEN US.

BUT WE--BUT WE HAVE TIME.

I MEAN, WE'RE IN ATLANTA,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

LIKE, WE'RE HERE.

HEY.

YOU KNOW?

I KNOW THAT.

MY MAN, HE GOT SOME TYPE

OF FEELING FOR YOU

AS A FRIEND

BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T HAVE

ME SITTING HERE.

BUT IF HE'S WILLING TO FORGIVE

YOU, I'M WILLING TO FORGIVE YOU

BECAUSE I HAVE TO DO WHAT

HE GONNA DO ANYWAYS.

I MEAN, I FORGIVE BENZINO

FOR THE MOST PART,

BUT I REALLY DON'T GIVE A

[bleep] WHAT HE TALKING ABOUT,

BECAUSE REALLY IT'S NOT EVEN

THAT SERIOUS.

I'M NOT THINKING ABOUT,

"OH, BENZINO."

AND NOT ONLY THAT,

HIS SONG IS NOT EVEN HOT.

LISTEN.

AND ALSO CONGRATULATIONS,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

DO YOU BELIEVE HIM?

LOOK AT THIS.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?

THAT'S HARD, YO.

THAT'S HARD.

THAT'S--THAT'S THAT--

[laughs]

WELL, THANKS FOR THE

CHOCOLATE.

WHAT'S IN HERE? LET'S DIG.

YOU WANT A CHOCOLATE, BABE?

YEAH, I WANT SOME CHOCOLATE.

I LIKE CHOCOLATE.

I GOT TO GO.

I'MA LEAVE Y'ALL HERE

SO Y'ALL CAN EAT.

JOS, I LOVE YOU

AND I APOLOGIZE

AND I'LL NEVER, EVER

DO NO CRAZY, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M

SAYING, ALL RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT.

LATER, HOMIE.

I'LL SEE YOU AT THE STUDIO

LATER.

I KNOW.

EAT SOME CHOCOLATE.

I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE YOU GOT ME

HERE, AND I'M EATING HIS

CHOCOLATE.

BUT YOU ONLY NEED TWO OF THEM

'CAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOUR WORKOUT.

GET OUT OF THERE.

WHAT ABOUT THIS MARRIAGE?

WHEN WE GONNA GET MARRIED?

OH, YOU KNOW...

WHEN WE GONNA GET MARRIED?

YOU KNOW I LIKE KISSING

THAT BALD SKIN.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED

TO ASK A MAN, LIKE, TOO MANY

TIMES...

I DON'T GIVE A [bleep].

I GOT TO ASK YOU.

'CAUSE IF I WAIT ON YOU,

IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN.

PATIENCE, BABY.

PATIENCE.

WELL, YOU KNOW, JUST HAVE

TO WAIT.

THAT'S WHEN YOU GET THE BEST

RESULTS, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M

SAYING,

WHEN I ORCHESTRATE THIS PLAN.

HAVE NO FEAR.

THE GOOD GUY'S HERE.

YOU HAVE TO BE GLAD SOMEBODY

LIKE ME WANT TO MARRY YOU.

[laughs]

'CAUSE I'M THE ONLY THING

THAT LOVES YOU.

YOU THE ONLY THING THAT LOVES

ME?

OF COURSE.

WHAT ABOUT THE KIDS?

OTHER THAN YOUR KIDS.

[laughs]

OTHER THAN YOUR KIDS,

I'M THE ONLY THING THAT LOVES

YOU.

[smooching]

both: MM!

[door squeaks]

WHAT'S UP?

HEY, HOW YOU DOING?

GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD.

LOOKING LIKE EMANI.

[chuckles]

OR SHOULD I SAY EMANI

LOOKING LIKE YOU?

LET ME THANK THE JUDGE.

LET ME THANK THE PROBATION

PEOPLE.

I THANK Y'ALL SO MUCH,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BEAT

THAT MONSTER, THAT MARIJUANA

MONSTER, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M

SAYING, 'CAUSE MARY'S A

MOTHER-FIZ-NAH-EE.

YOU FEEL ME?

HOMEGIRL HAD ME TRAPPED,

HAD A HOLD ON ME.

JESUS!

YOU KNOW, THE LAST TIME WE

TALKED, YOU KNOW, I WAS--

I WAS HIGH OUT OF MY MIND.

[chortles]

'CAUSE I--

I HONESTLY...

I BE SCARED TO TALK TO YOU.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO TALK

TO YOU SOBER RIGHT NOW,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

IT'S JUST--

JUST TALK.

EXPRESS HOW YOU FEEL.

UM, LAST TIME I SEEN YOU,

I SAID, YOU KNOW, LIKE,

YOU KNOW, JUST THINK ABOUT

BEING MARRIED AGAIN.

JUST THINK ABOUT WANTING ME.

'CAUSE I REALLY LOVE YOU,

AND I REALLY THOUGHT, YOU KNOW,

LIKE, SOMEWAY WE CAN

MAKE IT HAPPEN.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

I ALWAYS WANTED YOU

IN MY FUTURE, NEVER WANTED

TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

EVEN THOUGH I KNOW

EVERY TIME I GET WITH YOU,

EVERY TIME YOU GET BACK WITH ME,

IT JUST CRUMBLE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

I ALWAYS CRUMBLE.

AND I AIN'T GOT NO CONTROL

OF IT.

THAT'S WHERE MATURITY COMES

IN, THAT IT'S ABOUT KNOWING

WHAT YOU WANT...

RIGHT.

GETTING WHAT YOU WANT,

AND KEEPING WHAT YOU WANT.

THE TRUTH IS,

I DON'T THINK SCRAPPY EVER

REALLY KNEW WHAT HE WANTED

FROM ME OR FROM US.

I THOUGHT THE ENGAGEMENT

WOULD CHANGE ALL OF THAT.

I THOUGHT WE COULD MOVE FORWARD

AND HAVE A FAMILY AND BE HAPPY.

BUT AFTER 11 YEARS OF TRYING,

IT'S JUST TIME TO LET IT GO.

WHAT'S THAT?

THE RING.

I KNOW THAT'S THE RING.

BUT WHAT IS THAT?

THE RING.

SINCE WHEN?

I MEAN, IT'S NOT GONE.

IT'S NOT SOLD.

NO, IT WAS NEVER SOLD.

IT WAS NEVER GONE.

IT WAS ON CONSIGNMENT.

THAT'S WHAT IT WAS ON.

AND I DID IT OUT OF SPITE

'CAUSE I WAS MAD,

'CAUSE, YOU KNOW...

BUT WHAT ARE YOU PUTTING IT

ON THE TABLE FOR?

JUST SO YOU KNOW.

[sighs]

WOW.

I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT ME.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

YOU LOVE ME,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING,

BUT, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE PAST

AND ALL THE STUFF YOU GOT

TO GO THROUGH,

MY CRAZY ASS MAMA,

WHICH THAT AIN'T THE WHOLE

OF IT--

LET ME JUST GET SOMETHING

STRAIGHT.

OUR RELATIONSHIP,

IT DIDN'T END BECAUSE OF YOUR

MAMA.

I KNOW IT DIDN'T.

OKAY, LET'S JUST--

IT'S JUST US,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

RIGHT. US.

WE HAVE SO MUCH HISTORY.

YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS TALKING

ABOUT THE PAST WHEN YOU DID

THIS, WHEN YOU DID THAT,

YOU KNOW.

AND IT'S JUST LIKE,

YOU KNOW, WE SAY WE MOVING

FORWARD OR WE TRYING TO MOVE

FORWARD, BUT--

IT'S JUST HARD.

IN REALITY, WE NOT.

CONGRATULATIONS.

I DON'T JUST WANT TO LEAVE

YOU OUT OF IT.

I GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU.

STEVIE, ARE YOU SERIOUS?

DON'T GET IN HERE, PLEASE.

YOU'RE A BITCH!
