[announcer] Previously on Love & Hip Hop Atlanta...

Told you, I ain't going nowhere.

I appreciate you, babe.

[laughing]

I'm going to L.A. with Lyfe.

-We need to talk. -You gonna take me?

Yes!

I'm gonna have to tell Lyfe that I like you.

* You stands up When a bad bitch coming *

* Break bread Young bitch come running *

So, are you guys ready to sign me to D-Lo?

We almost there.

[Rasheeda] It's a work in progress.

Is that your husband?

Oh, yeah, it is.

I really want to strengthen my marriage with Dee.

But I'm seeing all these obstacles.

At points, I feel intimidated,

because I know what she capable of.

You're in trouble.

Were you and Joseline ever married?

No, we weren't.

Of course, we're married, five years in, honey.

But this is not about him, this is about me.

This female I'm working with right now,

I told her that I wanted to give her a single.

What's going on?

You want my husband to go down on you?

I knew that that would drive Scrapp

up a motherfucking wall.

I think that, you know, we could make it happen.

[Stevie J] Grammy weekend is a must-attend

for everybody in the music business

and anybody who wants to be in the music business.

So, I'm out in L.A.,

and I got myself situated

at my bro Tony DeNiro's crib,

and I'm trying to leave all the negativity back in Atlanta.

Joseline and I still aren't speaking.

But I know she's out here,

and I'm definitely looking forward to bumping into her.

I got a little secret weapon

in my project with Jessica Dimepiece.

I'm not interested in her music,

but I'm damn sure interested

on Jos' reaction when she sees us together.

* There is light There is love *

* There is life There is lust *

[Joseline] I'm in L.A.,

I'm hitting all the hottest spots.

And I gotta let people know that I am a free agent

and that I'm my own manager, and there's no better feeling.

I know that Stevie's in L.A.

because, of course, it's the Grammys.

And I am so excited to show Stevie all the surprises

that I have only if he's brave enough to see them.

[Mimi] It feels so good to be in L.A.

and away from all that Atlanta drama.

I'm hosting some gifting suites out here

and going to some fabulous parties.

Tiarra has never experienced Grammy week,

so she asked if she could tag along.

She's still trying to bounce back since Scrapp went to jail.

So why not show her a good time?

As long as I don't run into the "not married" Steven Jordan

and Joseline Hernandez, all will be good in the world.

* There is light There is love *

* There is life There is lust *

* Everything that you want You will find *

I'm in L.A. to handle business.

Everyone forgets, okay, she has a record label.

But I also have my second store that I need to check on in L.A.

I'm putting all my focus on my business now that Scrapp's gone.

But I also need to make some heavy decisions

about my personal life.

I haven't told Lyfe about Scrapp yet,

and I'm trying to decide whether or when I should do so.

I just don't wanna say the wrong thing and mess everything up.

* Summer in Los Angeles

My body's falling apart, but nothing

is gonna come between me and my album being released.

Since my son won't cooperate with me,

I'll reach out to the next best thing.

So, cous, I done see you got, um...

hopscotch on these motherfucking crutches.

I know, I got crutches and shit.

I got this sciatic nerve, and it's so fucking bad.

-So, it's in your back? -Do-re-mi-so-fa-la-Dee.

They got you on the meds, good.

See my pupils?

[laughing] Yo!

You never know what you gonna get with Momma Dee

when she on the meds, you dig what I'm saying?

And, I mean, she just made it seem like

it is a must that she get with me today,

so this should definitely be interesting.

Well, good, talk to me.

I called you here

because I feel like you've been holding me away.

Like, I been asking you

for almost a year and a half, cousin,

to help me on my EP.

I love me some Momma Dee, that's family.

But she's not your typical, established artist.

She's been asking and asking and asking,

you know, how we could work together.

And I've actually thought long and hard,

and I may have come up with a plan.

She may not like what I have to say,

but I am gonna keep it 100.

Cous, you know, we can talk straight up.

I know, straight up. Come at me.

-You're an older woman. -Yes, I am.

I want people to take you serious,

and I want people to take me serious.

-Right, exactly. -Okay?

I'ma tell you what I think.

You need a 2016 Electric Slide.

-For real? -The Momma Dee Shuffle.

So, I need to get out like this...

even though, I'm-- My sciatic nerve is fucked.

I mean, I need to really just, you know,

show a man, you know what I mean,

broken arm, crooked leg, and back things up.

-Um... -Okay, so you tell me.

I don't know if you need to do all that.

-Okay. -But that's a start, though.

You gotta kind of

give the people something to do with you,

a call and response.

Right.

So, you gonna come up with such a song?

-Yeah. -Okay.

So, all right, this is what I'm thinking.

-All right, you ready? -Mm-hmm.

We may have a situation

where they may need that type of record.

You need to call out with a call and response.

I got a situation, I got a situation.

I knew Joc wasn't gonna let me down.

If Joc needs me to sing about a certain situation,

baby, baby.

I got a big one with my husband, Ernest, his babbitt ass.

Cous, can I tell you that motherfucking Ernest,

he keeps sneaking around going catching the fucking bus.

Don't know where the fuck he be going.

But guess what?

I just put a motherfucking tracking device

on his goddamn phone.

Ernest pretends like he working all the time

when he ain't got no money to show for it.

So the only explanation that I can come up with

is that Ernest may be creeping behind my back!

And if that's the case,

his ass gonna be exiled from my goddamn palace.

Well, maybe he get on the bus.

Maybe he working a secret night job

-so he can buy his own vehicle. -Well, we gonna see.

But I'll tell you one thing.

If I come up with some bullshit,

I'm gonna fuck him up, I swear to God,

-I'm gonna fuck Ernest ass up. -[crunching]

See this?

Mm. This what I'ma do with his balls.

I'ma cut them.

[laughing]

Fucking cut them motherfucker.

You laughing, I ain't fucking laughing.

[crowd cheering]

Welcome to All Def Comedy Live.

I am your host, Tony Rock.

Russell Simmons in the building.

How are you, sir? Are you texting right now? Okay.

[Mimi] Russell Simmons invited us

to the Def Comedy Jam here in L.A.,

and I'm having a great time,

so I brought my girls along with me.

Karlie Redd coming in the building.

Hi, bro.

-How are you, what's good? -Good.

People don't know, like, that we really know each other.

Like, we go way-- Me and Karlie go way back.

I used to go get her when I had beef and shit

at these clubs in Hollywood.

Bitch start acting up, like, "Word, stay here."

Go get Karlie, "Where the bitch at?"

[laughter]

"Beat a bitch ass."

[Karlie] Lyfe is taking care of some business tonight.

So, when Mimi asked me to come out,

you know I jumped at the opportunity.

[laughter]

Tiarra is out here in L.A. with us.

And it's definitely time for me to talk to her

about me and Scrapp.

I couldn't give two mug shots

if Tommie Jailbird Ass found out about Scrapp.

But as the mother of Scrapp's child,

Tiarra deserves more.

But nobody compares to Mimi. Mimi, my boo.

What you working on? How the shower rods going?

-You selling the-- the... -[laughter]

4:00 in the morning, you turn to the QVC?

You turn to QVC, you see Mimi, like...

"Are you bitches freaks like me?

Here's my line of bathroom fucking appliances."

[laughter]

[Mimi, laughing] Oh, my God!

There was a time not so long ago

that I would not be able to laugh at this.

But I'm in such a different place right now in my life.

You wanna do it in the air, bitch, shower rod.

You wanna sit down, toilet seat!

You a master ho? Wastepaper basket.

[laughter and applause]

The good guy.

The good guy just walked in.

[Stevie J] What's up, baby?

Stevie J.

[Karlie] So, Stevie just told the world

he's not married to Joseline.

And now Dime is out in public with him?

Whew... [snaps fingers] Hype it up.

I know people be calling me messy, but Dime with Stevie,

oh, that's some next level shit.

-What's up, man? -I'm good, how are you?

I'm good, good to see you, man.

Good to see you, too, bro.

And this is Miss Jessica Dime? How are you, my dear?

I'm good, how are you?

You wearing that fucking dress.

-Thank you. -God damn.

[Mimi] I'm not surprised to see Stevie

because I know he has a relationship

with Russell Simmons.

But I almost gagged on my drink

when I saw him walk in with Dime.

When I tried to bring Dime to the table for management,

he shut me down every step of the way.

Everything is wrong with this picture.

You in the studio with Stevie?

[Jessica Dime] Of course.

Hey, Stevie!

She in the studio with you, Stevie?

Yeah, absolutely.

I don't care who sees me and Stevie together.

I got no ties to anyone.

Mimi try her best last year, but couldn't deliver.

And I certainly couldn't care less

if Joseline finds out about me and Stevie.

Actually, I hope she does.

You gonna beat me here, right, Stevie?

Is this fucking open, what the fuck's going on here?

Do you know about Lyfe being married?

You have no idea how the fuck you hurt me.

I'm just trying to find a way to save my marriage.

Ain't this a bitch?

You don't take pictures with nigga touching on your leg

and you touching on his hand, don't do that.

-What you talking about-- -I'm a boss.

[indistinct crowd chatter]

-[Stevie J] Hey. -[Mimi] Hi. So, what's up?

I'm out here for Grammy week.

-What y'all doing out here? -Same thing.

So, are you guys working together?

You know, I'ma do a song for her.

I put her in the studio with Sas.

She not signed or nothing, though.

-No. -We're just working.

With that being said, let me holler at you.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Excuse me, Jessica, I know y'all came together.

Let me holler at this man real quick.

This your baby daddy, girl, go ahead.

I never mentioned working with Stevie to Mimi

because it just happened out of the blue.

It wasn't like I was trying to keep anything a secret.

It's just business for me.

I do not want to get involved

in the Stevie, Joseline, and Mimi triangle.

But I do need to get into my girl's business, Karlie,

because I learned something

that I know she's not gonna be happy to hear.

I'm sorry, but I got to show you these.

Do you know about Lyfe being married?

What do you mean Lyfe being married?

-Apparently... -Hold up.

He's married with a baby.

[Karlie] So, there's a blog that's saying Lyfe is married

to some chick, some German chick at that.

Lyfe and I got into this

knowing that we're in an open relationship.

I know Lyfe is seeing a whole lot of other women.

But marriage?

I am not into this sister-wife shit, not at all.

I don't mess with married men.

I just had to show you,

because I was, like...

He ain't about to be out here in the streets

playing my goddamn friend,

looking like-- Her looking like a goddamn fool.

I fucking appreciate you

because a real bitch gonna tell a real bitch.

You wanna mess with me while we're here together?

All right, you need to get to the bottom of it.

As soon as I get back to the hotel, honey...

I got something for your ass that'll fuck you up!

It's cool.

Hey, nothing like L.A.

What's up with you and Dime?

Like, when I was trying to get you guys

to do business together, it was, "I don't fuck with her,"

and, "Fuck her and..." Blah, blah, blah?

When I tried to bring Dime to the table for management,

Stevie told me absolutely not.

He called Dime heavy.

Said that she was not talented.

So, the moment that I step back from the situation,

here you are gonna go behind my back?

You know, I'm gonna be honest, it's, like,

with the whole Joseline thing

and the shit she did on social media

and how she wanna play, and I just...

-I felt like I wanted to... -What?

...find Dime and do a song with her.

I didn't reach out to Dime to piss Mimi off.

I reached out to Dime to show Joseline who the real boss was!

Am I wrong for working with Dimepiece?

You're not wrong for working--

What you're wrong for is not communicating it to me

because I'm the one that brought Dime

to the table.

I apologize, and I appreciate you. I really do.

In the art of war,

people get hurt that don't deserve to get hurt.

I apologize, Mimi.

I didn't know that you would be hurt by this.

[kiss]

I love you.

Well, you know what?

At least you could tell me--

Words don't mean shit to me.

Actions speak louder than words.

So, you don't think I love you?

I think you're in denial about a lot of shit

that has gone on between us.

I understand everything.

Please tell me what you understand.

I fucked up our family.

-Messing with-- -For what?

For a stripper.

Made you feel young again.

That's what you told me.

She made you feel young again.

-And you hurt me and... -I know.

-No, you don't. -I do.

[choking up] You have no idea

how the fuck you hurt me.

Come here. Come on, ma.

[crying] I'ma tell you what.

Come on, yo, come on. I'ma tell you what.

You did some damage

that can never be fucking repaired, ever.

Ever.

Your sorrys mean nothing to me!

Your words mean nothing to me, Stevie.

Stop it, stop it.

You have got to start showing me actions.

Okay.

-Do you understand? -Yes.

Don't fucking play me another fucking time,

I swear on everything!

Remember that.

I mean, I am ready.

I know you feel like you're ready.

I feel like I'm showing y'all that.

How's Joseline?

I'm gonna see her.

-[hums ominous notes] -Showing up with my war gear.

[Rasheeda] I'm so happy, like, this place looks so good.

The trim is the shit.

So, everybody's going to the Grammys this week.

Ain't even getting no damn Grammy, but they out there.

I ain't got time for that.

We have got to wrap up this house situation.

It's almost finished and finally looking like a home.

I'm so super excited.

[Kelsie] How many levels is in here?

Ooh, this the studio?

-What'd she say? -I don't know.

-She's talking. -She up at the studio.

D-Lo's gonna have its own recording studio

right here in the house,

so I can give my artists the attention they deserve.

And I've been wanting to talk to Kelsie about my plans for D-Lo,

but I haven't quite found the right opportunity.

So I guess today is as good as any other day

to let her know what we're planning.

-Hey. -Yes, guys.

-What's up? -I like this.

-You like it? -Yes...

That's my room up there?

-We see-- -Next to the studio?

Nobody's moving in.

So, what y'all gonna do with the Buckhead spot?

Why can't I stay out there so I can be on time?

Mmm...

Because that's 3,500 a month.

As soon as this place is done,

it's goodbye Buckhead apartment.

We're gonna downsize from three homes to two

and Kelsie won't be living in any of them.

And I got some plans for the other house

that Kelsie is definitely not gonna wanna hear.

We're gonna expand the D-Lo business

by rolling out a new strategy where we house D-Lo artists.

This way, we really can develop them and integrate them

right into the D-Lo family.

Sam is gonna stay at the other house.

She's gonna move down from New York.

And rewind. What?

Being that the studio's here,

she gonna be able to come down the block a little bit

and be able to work in the studio.

You're gonna let another one of your artists

come stay in the house that...

-I grew up in? -Another one of my artists.

Hello, I'm your daughter!

You're gonna give my childhood home to some random chick?

I've been working my ass off to prove to my dad and Rasheeda

that I'm dead serious about joining D-Lo.

What am I supposed to do to get an opportunity around here?

I wasn't quite feeling like

you were ready for the whole D-Lo...

-How? -Because some days you're on

and then some days you're off.

With what, work or music? That's totally separate.

Well, not really.

It's a whole reflection of you as a whole.

Why is it-- Why you have a tear coming down?

-Don't feel like you're ready. -I mean, I am ready.

I feel like I'm showing y'all that.

I know you feel like you're ready.

We always feel like we ready.

I did everything you asked me to do,

so why would you not sign me?

As parents and business people looking in,

it's not right now for us.

Okay, cool, that's my exit.

You putting people before me once again, once again!

[Betty] I'm so excited.

This is one of those moments, like,

this is pretty much is gonna change our lives.

[D. Smith] Today, Betty is gonna introduce me

to one of her friends

that happens to be one of the biggest artists

and producers in the game.

I am so excited.

I was put on this earth to make music.

And if this meeting goes well,

my career could go to the next level.

-Hi, divas. -Good to see you.

Come on in.

D is an amazing songwriter and artist.

Still, the world doesn't even know

what she's capable of musically,

and the same is true for me.

So, now it's time for me and D to work with...

CeeLo Green!

Hey, sweetie, what's up?

-Hey. -How you doing?

-Hi, CeeLo. -I'm D. Smith, how are you?

-Pleasure to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

Hey, y'all come on over and sit over here.

Two years ago, a homie of mine

played CeeLo Green some of my music,

and then CeeLo went bonkers for one of my tracks,

and he cut the record,

and ever since then, he's been a mentor to me.

-Here's to meeting you, D. -[Betty Idol] Cheers.

It's nice to meet you.

So, I wanted to bring D. to meet you.

She has all these amazing records and I know, like,

you'd love it, and she's just incredible.

I take business personally, you know what I'm saying?

So I wanna get the chance to know you personally if I can.

First and foremost, I think right now,

you know, my life is in a new place.

I'm transitioning from male to female.

And that has been

very gratifying

and very challenging as well.

You know, a lot of the phone calls

and lot of the conversations I used to have

with a lot of people in the industry have changed.

I mean, you know what, I understand.

I empathize, you know, a great deal.

I guess it's natural for me

to just embrace people, you know,

that are different, that are unique.

So you write, produce, just everything?

Yeah, there's a song, actually,

that I really, really want you to hear.

I usually am not really just so open

and everything, like, you know, but I mean, I'm down to hear it.

-You're gonna love it. -All right.

Can I send it to you Bluetooth?

Yeah, just kind of AirDrop into the Wi-Fi.

Okay, all right.

* Look at that fancy girl

* Living in a fancy world

* Carrying that fancy bag

* Nigga, that girl's so bad

* Look at that fancy girl...

To be sharing my music with someone like CeeLo

is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I just pray to God that he likes what he's hearing.

* Look at that fancy girl

* Lookin' like she won Top Model Competition last year *

Damn.

[Betty] Yay!

I told you, right?

Yeah, you did.

So, wait a minute, let me get this straight.

You writin' and producing' and performin' all of that?

-Yes. -She's amazing.

[sighs] Wow.

I'm really-- I'm impressed by that.

I thank you though. I can hear myself singing that.

Yes.

I mean, because if you can write, produce,

arrange and perform the way that I just heard...

-Yeah. -I mean, you deserve,

-you know, your shot. -Thank you.

-You know what I'm saying? -I'm so happy.

I don't even know what to do.

[Betty] Yay!

[Stevie J] I brought Dime out here to L.A.

to get under Joseline's skin.

Because I know she's out here trolling around somewhere.

I thought I'd bump into her while I was out here

partying with Dime,

but instead, I made Mimi cry.

And that wasn't the plan at all.

The good guy just can't catch a break.

But, I'm happy to be in the studio right now.

It's the only place where I can come and clear my mind.

What's up, "Screvie"?

You look wonderful.

Oh, yeah, who's talking?

-With the red leather. -Come on, have a seat.

-How you been? -I'm blessed, how are you?

I'm pretty good. Glad you back in town?

I'm happy to be here working with you again and all that.

Faith and I have been friends for years,

and we about to pop off this Bad Boy reunion tour with Diddy.

And me and my lady have been working

on some new music together.

But today, I need to talk to somebody who knows the real me,

and Faith is definitely that person.

So, how's everything going?

It ain't going so good.

I mean, I ain't really able

to focus on everything I need to focus on.

Well, how's Joseline? How's she doing?

I ain't seen her in a minute.

-She left. -Really?

I haven't really talked to her.

And when I do talk to her, it's just, like,

you're a motherfucking this and that.

And I don't wanna be walking home

with broken Versace and bleached clothes and all that.

-I don't want that. -Wow.

You know, I'm just trying to see

where Joseline's head space is,

because she-- she was at this party with Rick Ross, whatever.

And, you know, she's standing there,

and he got his arm on her leg,

and she got her hand on top of his hand.

So you running around here

saying that you're somebody's wife

and you're doing that?

Let's just clarify this right now, I'm not...

I'm not playing those type of games.

I'm on the radio with this dude, J-Nicks,

letting it be known that-- that we wasn't married.

[chuckling] What?

Yeah, I mean...

Y'all not married?

The marriage wasn't really real.

Okay... [chuckling]

You could've fooled me, damn it!

Well, you know, I could've fooled the whole world.

I just feel like I should add--

Make sure you're not doing stuff

just to be, like, you know...

-No, I'm not, I'm not trying-- -Tit for tat.

It's not tit for tat. It's more or less like--

Because you the one that have to live with your,

you know, whatever is gonna come back to you.

I'm gonna see her.

It's gonna be the first time I've seen her in a long time

after all these bombs have been dropped.

[hums ominous chords]

Showing up with my war gear.

[laughing]

-You got your helmet? -Yeah.

[both laughing]

Fucking put your hand down, player.

Oh, have a seat!

[Joseline] We have not been together--

You owe me an apology.

I don't owe you an apology for anything.

Ain't nothing to talk about.

-Hey. -Hey!

-How are you? -Ernest, how you doing?

You're more beautiful than the last time I seen you.

Oh, all right.

The situation between me and Dee hasn't improved at all.

Even after we spoke with the pastor,

I still can't do nothing right in my wife eyes.

My sex isn't good, my money ain't right.

I've been working three jobs trying to hustle.

And then she's mad at me for not being at home.

So I asked Shirleen if we could meet up just to talk.

I'd just appreciate being able to have somebody to talk to.

Okay, so how are you and Momma Dee doing now?

Yeah, we talked with Pastor Couch.

-Uh-huh. -And now I see

it's just that it's so much anger inside.

It's so hard...

To get through to her.

I'm having to deal with the nagging,

and I'm not being there and I'm not working.

I'm not, you know, paying bills.

You know, it's just so much pressure.

All at the same time, I love her,

and I'm just trying to find a way

to save my marriage.

I really feel bad for Ernest.

I always thought Momma Dee was some kind of crazy.

But Ernest loves this crazy woman.

[Shirleen] I don't wanna get too deep into you guys' problems.

I'm just here as a sounding board.

And I really appreciate that,

because when I tell her how I feel,

she denounced my feelings.

So it's kind of hard being emotional with her

without having to be, "Hoo hoo hoo!"

You know, and I don't wanna be on that because we're adults.

Well, hello. Ain't this a bitch.

-[laughing] -This where you been going?

-No, it isn't-- -No, no, no.

Fucking put your hand down, player.

Put your hand down, player.

-Please, honey, please. -Uhh-uhh, no.

Oh, have a seat.

See, this here is the fucking problem.

Ernest can't find the time out to help me around the house

when he know I'm on crutches

because my sciatic nerve is back.

But he can creep with Miss Shirleen Purleen?

That's exactly why I put a tracking device on his ass.

And he better have a damn good excuse for being here.

I thought you was at work.

I don't want you to think anything's going on here,

because there ain't nothing going on...

Well, let me talk to him, I'll be the judge of that.

Is she fucking you? Is she fucking you?

-Hell no! -All right, then, mmm...

How did you even find me anyway?

I've been tracking your fucking ass.

See, that's what I'm saying about trust.

Momma Dee putting a tracking device on her husband?

Who does that?

I was starting to sympathize with her,

but I think my first impression was right, she is crazy.

You know, sister, you getting heated

right now about nothing

because Shirley has been a big help

with the relationship issues,

and she's taking these courses in psychology--

Courses? So you still fucking with people heads,

-but ain't got no degree. -No, I ain't...

Hold on, I ain't messing with nobody's head.

I really don't wanna dip into you guys' business that much.

I'm just listening to him, but you could at least

give the man a break.

Give him a break, for real?

Right, because you just be so irate everywhere you go.

Just like when you came in here.

He needs to help pay all the bills, not a couple of them.

It doesn't matter who make the most money,

just be that man.

Well, if he's paying a couple of bills,

you don't feel like that's all he can do is--

Yeah, I know he can do more, he's just selfish

and self-centered, and it's all about him.

But I'm about to change that.

Why would Ernest seek counsel

by somebody that's not even qualified?

This is a problem with my husband.

He doesn't think with his head.

It's time I make some changes and protect what's mine.

I love Ernest and all,

but he needs to start taking care of me

and his own damn life.

His gravy train is about, really,

a few inches short right about now.

-[Joseline] Thank you, sir. -[Stevie J] You're welcome.

Joseline and I are both out in L.A. for Grammy week,

and for whatever reason, she wanna talk.

I'm staying at my man Tony DeNiro fly crib,

and I invited her over so we can hash some things out.

[Joseline] I haven't seen you in forever and a day.

I know.

I'm sure she's not too happy about me admitting

we not married and all that, but I feel some type of way

about the disrespectful pictures with Rick Ross

and the lie she told Mimi about me having two kids.

So we both got beef.

What you been up to?

Well, you know...

I've been up to doing me.

What's that?

[chuckling] Don't be all up in my business.

You know I don't like that.

I don't even know what's going on with this relationship.

I just feel disrespected and something gotta give.

How you really getting along sleeping in Mimi's couch?

I'm all right.

We all know I have not seen my husband for a few weeks.

Hopefully, tonight, he can act like a gentleman

and really take responsibilities

for everything that he's done in the past.

You wanna go do a tour about how you not claiming your wife.

Bet you would never say that I'm not his wife in front of me.

Right now, this is an open relationship

between me and Stevie, and I want him

to really get that in his thick head.

So, you like it better separated?

I love it better separated.

I think that we don't argue

because we don't see each other like that every day.

You just wanna be friends?

Of course, we're gonna always be friends.

You're my boo.

I think it's like,

I built a hell of an empire up, from the ground up.

-You do what you do. -So, what makes you think

that I wanna see it crumbling and crashing down?

[snickering]

What's gonna crumble and crash down?

Taking pictures that are very disrespectful.

For a boss like me.

-See... -For a boss like me.

You take pictures a lot of times.

For a boss like me,

you don't take pictures with nigga touching on your leg

and you touching on his hand, don't do that.

-Well, you're talking about-- -I'm a boss.

Stevie...

Don't-- Don't "Stevie" me.

It was never like that.

Nobody was touching my boob

-or my private area. -Oh, he was touching on you.

-Touching on me? -You act like you didn't see it.

Yes, I do. There was no part of me in the picture.

Okay, cool, then it is what it is.

If you don't see nothing wrong with it,

then I'm cool the way things are.

I'm not doing a relationship while I'm doing me

and she's doing her.

If we not doing us, we not doing nothing.

What do you wanna do right now? You wanna curse me out?

-No. -You wanna put me down?

You wanna fight about a picture?

-We have not been together-- -You owe me an apology.

I don't owe you an apology for anything.

So ain't nothing to talk about.

-[sighs] Stevie... -I'm good.

You hang out in the public with other ladies.

You kiss other ladies.

-You grab other ladies. -I kiss other ladies?

-Stevie, you've been around-- -Just like I had kids, too.

I've got Stevie wrapped around my finger the way I want to,

because if I can sit up in front of his baby mother,

lie about my husband having kids,

and cry my eyes out, just making shit up,

I'm just playing the same game that they both playing.

I'm joining the fucking game. I wanna play too.

What's wrong with me playing?

But we talking about you and your picture.

-So what is that? -It's that fucking picture!

How many pictures do you take?

Don't ever take no picture like that again in your life.

I want you to embrace the fact

we still try to leave the bullshit in the past.

I see this conversation is going nowhere.

Joseline will never sit here and admit her wrongs

or her lies.

So now it's in my hands.

Do we leave here tonight hating each other

or like grown folks who really loved each other at one time?

I'm a lover and not a fighter.

So tonight, I'm gonna show some love.

Do I miss you? Yeah.

Do I miss smelling your perfume?

Do I miss watching

you walk around the crib with nothing on?

Do I miss having crazy, mad dog, gorilla sex? Yeah!

But at the end of the day,

if it ain't right, what is it?

We only got 95 to 100 years on this earth.

And that's why I don't wanna fight you.

Life is short, man.

I continue to support you

as long as I feel like you're respecting me, all right?

-You know that. -All right, cool.

Can we just hug it out and just keep it moving?

-Yes, I do want to hug it out. -All right, cool.

[Joseline] Stevie is so weak over me.

But, I mean, when you take a look

at all this greatness and all this perfection,

who could blame him?

Let's have a good time.

Let me give you a treat.

Even though you don't deserve it.

But I'ma still give it to you.

Just to show you how much of a great woman I am

that I can sit up here, left the house,

because I'm upset at you, but still bring you treats.

What better wife do you want, honey?

Hey, boo.

Look who's here, Stevie.

Come on in, yes!

You look amazing!

We both can love you, right, Stevie?

Everything that I have asked for

you've given it to her.

So, now you don't need me.

Don't let the door hit you, boo.

[Joseline] What's up, babe?

-Mwah. -You look great.

Here you go, baby.

You seen who that is, that's Miss Tommie, baby, okay?

You look great.

Yes!

[Joseline] Oh, honey, this is all planned.

Oh, Joseline Hernandez.

You wanna get mad at your boyfriend and tell him

that you want my husband to do you?

You want my man to go down on you?

Guess what, boo?

He's only gonna touch you

if I bring you to the table.

And Stevie don't give a damn who it is, nephew or not.

Why is this not heated?

Well, you know, y'all two hot women can make it hot.

So, when y'all step in it, it's gonna heat right up.

[Joseline] No, we're gonna need you

to bring your big cock in there

so you can really make it hot.

That's what's really gonna make it hot.

I'm having a great time here.

I don't wanna go back to Atlanta!

[Tommie] Bitch, me too, okay?

You gotta enjoy your life.

But I need help, and I need love,

and I need a bitch.

[both laughing]

Come on, get up, we got--

[Tommie] Help me!

I'm gonna embarrass her, and I'm gonna show everybody

that she's a fucking whore.

Instead of her being down and waiting on her man

while he do his time,

you talking about you gonna have the uncle suck your punani?

Bitch, get yourself together.

We got all the love right here, honey.

-Love me, guys. -You don't have nothing to--

You don't have nothing to worry about.

We both can love you, right, Stevie?

[laughing]

Just you.

-Stevie can't love you? -Stevie my uncle.

You know, we do-- How you call it, incest?

-No... -[laughter]

She's crazy.

I had no idea that Tommie was coming.

That threw me for a loop.

That let me know Joseline

got a lot of loose marbles in her head.

Ah, you can just love her.

I really wanna go skinny dipping.

We should go skinny dipping.

-So, I gotta... -Yeah, come on.

Come help her, Stevie. Come take ma's hand.

[Stevie J] You know, I usually like to have fun,

but this shit weird, man.

Joseline feeling anything that,

you know what I'm saying, that she could just manipulate.

This night is definitely going down with a bang.

[indistinct chatter]

-Girl, you better take it off. -Oh, I'm dying.

When you find yourself in L.A. and Joseline Hernandez

invites you to a pool party, a bitch will be there.

But this pool party was a little more intimate than I expected.

I was just fucking around about getting down with Uncle Stevie.

How about I just take Stevie out the equation

and just fondle Joseline?

You know what they say,

what happens in L.A., stays in L.A.

[laughing]

Hey...

Why you not coming in the pool with us?

I don't need to come in the pool.

We're, like, so skinny dipping

and you're so scared of being here.

Come on!

Let's go in the house, come on!

You know, I know my nephew,

you know what I'm saying, and he wouldn't appreciate

his chick wanting to be

hanging around the pool with me

and getting naked in the pool with Joseline.

Something ain't right.

Two loonies, her and Joseline.

Gee Willikers.

[Rasheeda] Kels.

You know you can't hang with the wood hanger

-with the bar in the middle. -I got you.

Oh, no, what is the problem now?

What is wrong with her?

-She got attitude. -Oh.

Because she came to the house the other day.

Me and Kirk had just kind of laid it down

and was kind of like, you know,

we not quite ready, you know, to sign you yet.

We just don't think she ready yet.

You know, and then her having her little attitudes and stuff,

that just shows me, like, it's a lot to deal with.

And ain't nobody got time for that.

-That's right. -You know what I'm saying?

If Kelsie wanna be a singer or a rapper

or whatever she wanted to be, she need to go do that

and quit bringing her ass to work with that funky attitude.

I don't know who's more miserable,

Kelsie or crazy Momma Dee.

You ain't gonna believe this.

That damn Momma Dee.

What now?

She rolled up on me and Ernest.

-You and who? -Ernest wanted to talk to me

because he feel like he don't have nobody to...

-To talk to? -To talk to.

So, we's in there talking and, dadgone,

-Momma Dee. -Ohh!

She damn tracked his damn phone.

Girl, I know he had hell that night with her.

-Pah! -Hi.

Hey, y'all, what's up?

Hey, Rasheeda.

How are you?

[Rasheeda] Sam is the new artist

signed to D-Lo Entertainment.

She's really dope, voice is amazing.

She's just moved to Atlanta.

We brought her here so that we can develop her, be hands-on.

And we figured we would help her out

and let her live in our old home.

It makes economic sense.

Kelsie might not be happy about it, but you know what?

Kelsie, it's all right.

Just hold tight and play your position.

-Just so you know... -Mm-hmm?

Kelsie got an attitude.

For what, what happened?

I think she's still mad about us

saying we're not signing her.

You're Dad. Maybe you can talk to her.

Kelsie? Come here.

I know Kelsie's disappointed that we're not signing her.

But moping around is not the answer.

She doesn't understand,

that's exactly why we're not signing her yet.

So, what's going on in your brain, Miss Kelsie?

You're looking like you're pissed and...

I am. Very pissed.

Why you at work pissed? Why?

I'm upset at y'all for not believing in me.

This is why I said you're not ready,

because if you understood the business,

you wouldn't bring the artist part to work.

So, why is she here?

She's gonna be performing

at our little housewarming that we're having.

Okay.

I'm going to be moving here permanently.

And I intend on working at Pressed.

Wow.

You sign this girl,

you move this girl to Atlanta.

And now she's gonna be working here?

That's the situation.

Wow, it's, like,

this girl is stepping in, taking over my life,

and my father and Rasheeda are helping her do it.

She's signed to D-Lo.

She's about to live in my house.

Now she's gonna work at Pressed? Okay.

Everything that I have asked for...

you're giving it to her.

So that means y'all don't need me.

Y'all got her, that's fine.

This is exactly what I'm talking about.

All that extra attitude, extra mouth,

I have zero tolerance for right now.

If you wanna be treated like a professional,

you need to act like a professional.

You got a lot of growing up to do.

You-- you-- you gone?

-Gone, thank you. -Okay.

Don't let the door hit you, boo.

So I'm gonna guess a lot on your mind, man.

You know, I investigate everything.

This chick in Germany,

she's saying that y'all married!

[Karlie] I purposely didn't go back to the hotel

and curse Lyfe out.

Because I knew that those rumors about him being married,

he would totally deny it,

and he would just be, like, "Oh, you're crazy."

Hey.

So, I waited till he left out this morning.

And I went straight to the chick's

social media account.

Let me sit over here.

Okay.

And when I check, all I find out

is definitely they're married, Lyfe is married!

I have some shit to get across my chest.

You know, we can skip all the formalities.

Let's go ahead and just what the fuck you done heard.

You know, I investigate everything.

This chick in Germany,

she's saying that y'all married!

Did she post something that say we was married?

Yes! She put "married," question mark.

"No better for Lyfe than Karlie."

She said, "Married," question mark, "No..."

Period, period, period.

"Better for Lyfe than Karlie," question mark, "Yes."

No... "Better for Lyfe..."

I didn't read it that way.

I read it, "No better than Karlie."

Yo, I mean, I saw the blogs.

You know, I was waiting on the homie Karlie

to say, you know, something about it.

But she ain't say nothing, so I was, like, you know,

I ain't gonna say nothing till she say something.

That seem like that's how we planned it

these days anyway, you know?

Keeping secrets from each other.

Skip all that, man.

I wanna say, you know, before you continue,

I heard shit about what's-- what's the homie name

that got the record label or whatever?

What's his name?

Scrapp DeLeon.

My nigga was in the club one night.

And my nigga was, like, "Yo, your folks is up in here

with Scrapp, like, blah, blah, blah."

I say, "Nah, not Karlie, Karlie ain't cut like that

because we got an understanding."

He like, "No, nigga, she out here right now."

Okay, I been hanging out with Scrapp.

Scrapp has been checking on me every day.

I had a flat tire, he came to my rescue.

I got drunk.

He's, like, "Yo, we need to get a room.

You cannot drive like this."

He's so sweet and kind.

Taking you to a hotel room.

This is funny to you, huh?

You don't think that's embarrassing to me?

He's actually in jail now.

It's not like I could ever be with him.

He got 20 years.

Listen, I knew who Karlie Redd was

when I first got with her, man.

I mean, we been pretty open.

Like, I tell her, you know, I like to check out

a little female until we get this thing moving

how we want it to be.

But, she ain't never admitted to me

that she deal with other dudes from time to time.

But now I'm finding out, like, she running around

with this old preschool love romance with a dude

that's about to do a twomp in prison.

And that's not okay, man. So, you know what?

I blew out here to L.A., you know,

just to let the lady know, Miss Karlie Redd,

how I feel about our situation.

I think that a lot of times me and you are the same.

I know it's a lot of shit popping and whatever.

And I don't wanna necessarily

give up on this shit right here.

Let me just say it like this, look.

[announcer] Next time on Love & Hip Hop Atlanta...

I'm out here working on my fucking music.

It is very weird when a person says all of a sudden,

"I wanna be a singer."

Are you for real?

There is a lot of work that you have to do.

You're not gonna do it, keep looking for someone

that's gonna take it easy on you.

For you to say that, that's kind of fucked up.

Waka, he got a lot of growing to do.

We came to the conclusion that we're, um, we're separating.

Really?

I'm not really ready to hear all of this shit.

I hear you're moving out of the house

and you're doing all these other kind of things.

But I'm not ready for this.

[sobbing]

You lie just all the time, man.

-About what? -Me and you!

Oh, you think you gonna just go on dates

and I'm not gonna fucking go on dates?

You can do what the fuck you wanna do!

It's a double standard when it comes to men!

I need to keep it real with you.

The person I was, like, talking to was Scrapp.

You nasty bitch!

KK gonna whip your motherfucking ass!

Amber reached out to me, and, uh...

Say it, man, speak your mind, bro.

She went all the way out.

You're trying to tell me you smashed my girl, bro?

Hold up!

We're grown, we're adults.

We're at an event, we don't gotta do this shit.

Look, you got what you got.

She got a piece of what she wanted.

[indistinct shouting]

[Jessica Dime] What's up, Hernandez?

You happy to be around my husband?

You're not married, though.

And look, you got the help with you!

Oh, I'm the help?

I swear to God, I'm gonna beat both of you hoes!

Let me out! Let me out!

What's up? What's up?

All right, good God, this is gonna be a great comedy show.

-You ready? -Yeah, absolutely.

Mimi, you ready?

-I'm so ready. -Jessica Dime...

Jessica Dime titties, y'all ready to have fun?

Born ready.

Now, here's my question.

You been in the studio for years with Puff.

And we heard that music.

And you been in the studio for three, four years.

We ain't hear shit!

[laughter]

Ain't heard shit.

* Kutty Kat

Stingy with it!

[laughter]

I'm the baddest bitch.
