Original subtitles

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

K. Michelle starting this new record label.

Like, honestly, fuck that crooked letter,

crooked letter, high-ass body bitch.

All right, well, I got my fucking answer.

Okay, I'm about to start working with D on some music.

I'm so glad that you are getting in the studio with this one.

I would be hating.

If I did me like I did me,

I would hate me, too.

I decided to put something together for you.

For me?

What's up with you and Dime?

[Stevie J] I reached out to Dime

to show Joseline who the real boss was!

[man] Ooh...

Wowser!

You done goddamn pat this man dick.

You told me to take care of your people.

So how you gonna tell your homie?

-What you mean? -How you gonna tell your homie?

You can't act romantic.

So, you're not gonna try for your marriage?

My husband just can't seem to get it right.

I know for a fact that he's not faithful.

I don't even know who he is, like...

You gonna tell Tiarra that you been messing with him?

I'm gonna tell her to her face. I'm going to L.A. with Lyfe.

We need to talk.

Do you know about Lyfe being married?

Let me just say it like this, look.

* This is the life This is the life *

* This is the life This is the life *

* This is the life This is the life *

* This is the life This is the life *

* This is the life This is the life *

* There ain't nothing Like hip-hop music, music *

* This is the life This is the life *

* This is the life This is the life *

* This is the life *

I don't wanna necessarily give up on this shit right here.

Let me just say it like this, look.

[Karlie] When Lyfe pulled out the ring,

I dropped to the ground.

Did he just propose to me?

Shh, just listen.

I got love for you,

and I really see something in you

the rest don't see, man.

This, I wanna say that this is a promise ring.

And I promise you that you're not gonna

never find another nigga like me.

You can keep this.

But you can't keep me, man.

I can't do this shit, man.

[Karlie] I thought this was a proposal ring.

So, this is a breakup ring.

What the fuck is really going on?

Why would you do that?

Why would you do that, man?

This is fucking lie, Karlie.

Just keep it real with yourself, man.

So you think you're just gonna go and date,

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!

You can do what the fuck you wanna do.

You can do what you wanna do, but you gotta keep it 100.

-That's all you gotta do. -I did!

No, you didn't, you lied this whole time, man.

About what?

About me and you.

I got the ring good-heartedly,

but then, as I started getting text messages

from this dude named Scrapp,

I just thought in my mind, like, damn, man,

is that what you really want for your life?

Is she a mother, some kind of example for your kids, man? No.

All I wanna know is can we work this out?

I know what I want, and I know what I need.

In this point in your life, you just wanna club and drink

-and do the bullshit. -No, I do not!

Yes, you do. I'm looking for a wife, man.

Somebody that's gonna take care of me and my kids.

I will change.

-But you ain't changing! -You take a chance on me.

-But you ain't changing. -You don't know that!

Because you haven't even taken a chance on me!

I been fucking with you for a year and a half.

If you was gonna change, you would've changed by then.

I never asked Lyfe for more than he was ready to give.

I never questioned him

when he disappeared weeks at a time.

I gave him his freedom.

I was always available when he wanted it.

And now he's throwing it in my face?

It's always the same B.S.

No matter what I do, it's never good enough.

I just hope you find what you're looking for, man.

That's all.

-Hello! -[laughter]

-How are you? -Good.

D. Smith said it was time to get to work,

and I'm really excited about making some music.

So James here is the vocal coach.

Oh!

We're here for vocal coaching today.

Being a star doesn't really mean you can just sing so great.

It's just, do you have "it"?

Stand up for me. I'm gonna have you do a scale.

[singing a scale]

[singing a scale]

Oh, God, I think Ariane is kind of jumping the gun a little bit.

There's so much that we have to do

before we get writers in and guitar players and dru--

We gotta-- we gotta talk.

There's a lot of work that you have to do.

[Ariane] I thought I was here to discuss music.

I thought D would have a track for me that we could collab on,

but instead I feel like I'm here auditioning for a gig.

I've been singing all my life.

And this is something that I'm ready to put the work in for.

But D is coming off a little bit condescending right now.

I really would love to see where we could go.

I don't know if this is a good fit for me.

Oh, you just want to be comfortable.

-Oh, you wanna be a superstar. -I don't wanna be comfortable!

Comfortably.

I'm still developing as an artist, period.

So maybe I wanna go sit with another artist

or another producer.

You can't keep running.

-And I'm not trying to. -You can't run.

You're running now.

You wanna become the artist that you see yourself as.

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

that's gonna take it easy on you.

That's not what I'm asking for.

From you, James, nobody.

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

I'm willing to work my ass off.

I'm willing to take whatever criticism there is

because I know it's gonna come.

But, I don't like when people

are being shaken for no reason.

Running again.

I'm not running, I'm over it!

[D. Smith] I think, deep down inside,

Ariane is willing to do whatever it takes.

There's something blocking her from this music,

and that scares me.

[Momma Dee] This the Queens!

It's about to go down!

This is my cous, Yung Joc on the track.

* In that order, in that order In that order, in that order *

What's she doing, man? She's in the booth.

What is she doing?

[Momma Dee] I got short-winded, sorry.

Man, Momma Dee done talked me into helping her

work on this track,

and I don't know what I done got myself into.

-Come inside. -Okay.

We got a cool little line dancing song going on.

But I think Momma Dee is a lot more interested

in the dancing than the singing.

You gotta put a little more hip into that thing.

Ooh, eeh.

-Hey! -Momma Dee, what you doing?

Oh, uh...

[J-Nicks] Joc hit me up and said he had

some business that he need to talk to me about.

-She doing the Shabba, right? -Yes.

-We're working on my new CD. -Shabba!

I don't know what he got in mind,

but I sure hope it don't involve Momma Dee.

Okay, now--

I can take it, I got tough skin.

Yeah, I asked J to come over to the studio today,

so I could be a man and let him know

about me and his girl, Amber.

I mean, things might not go so pretty,

so, I kinda wanna get Momma Dee out of here,

so homie and I could have a little one-on-one time,

a little mano a mano.

-I need to holler at you. -What's up?

This the type of respect I got for you.

I just wanna make sure that we could sustain that shit.

I just felt like I would be less of a man

if I didn't step to you

like a man and just tell you what was going on.

What you gotta say, man? You dragging this out, bro.

I know, I just really wanted to like...

Um, Amber reached out to me.

And, uh...

Say it, man. Speak your mind, bro.

[Yung Joc] I'm really trying to take my time

and ease into this.

It's like foreplay, almost, you can't just jump in.

You gotta like... unn, unn, ah.

Bro, you know what I'm saying, you stand up, like...

Well, what's up, man?

Well, she went-- she went all the way, dog.

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

You supposed to be my dog.

My motherfucking dog!

Oh, man, I'm tipping off Tiarra, man.

Joc, you did what?

You smashed Amber? How could you?

That's disrespectful, bro!

But, you know, I'm kind of happy

because now this gives me an exit strategy.

Here's the problem. She invited me to a little event.

Yeah, she told me about that.

She wants me to play host.

If I bring Tiarra...

Damn, I didn't think about that, hold up.

[laughing] Hold up, hold up, hold up.

Yeah, flip that up on, make it official.

If Amber smashed you,

she can't be mad that I've been with Tiarra

because she already is under.

That's gonna be messy.

Man, J's idea sounds so crazy

that it's brilliant.

He wants out, Amber wants out.

Maybe this is the way for everybody

to live happily ever after.

Or maybe World War III is about to take place

at Amber's little cosmetic event.

Hey, either way, I'm down.

You look like you're gonna start some shit.

Live life, be free.

-In that order. -In that order.

[Momma Dee] * First I do lips Flash it round *

* Can't forget about my... *

Momma Dee!

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

we're separating.

Really?

It's very weird when a person comes to you

and says all of a sudden, "I wanna be a singer."

I need to keep it real with you.

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

You nasty bitch!

Showing enough, nothing.

We need to probably bring this up a few inches.

[Tammy] So, Waka's on the road as usual.

And I've been sitting and doing some soul searching.

And I think it's time for me to make some changes in my life.

One thing I have to do is throw myself into my work.

Everyone else put their career first.

It's time for me to put my career first.

I'm throwing a beautiful fashion show for T. Rivera Swimwear.

And my girl Bambi's gonna be strutting the runway.

-Oh... -Hello!

Lot of working going on here.

-Hey, baby. -How you doing?

Bambi's been like my rock during this whole situation

because she can understand how it feels

or what I'm gonna face going through a public breakup.

So I asked for Bambi to stop by

so that I can have a conversation with her

and tell her what I've been thinking so long and hard about.

So how everything coming along for the show?

Everything's good?

-It's hectic, it's a lot, but-- -Yeah.

I found some good models, but it's a lot.

Especially considering everything else

you got going on personally.

-You know, it's up and down. -Of course it is.

Sometimes I'm, like...

It's like, "Ohh," you know, bitch,

-because I be texting you... -Bitch, I know.

You know I love that man with all my heart.

I love him to death.

I know you do.

But, I came to the conclusion that, um...

You know, well, we came to the conclusion

that we're, um, we're separating.

Bitch, no.

Really?

Yeah.

Deciding to separate from my husband

is one of the most difficult decisions I had to make.

But Waka and I talked about it.

And I think it's for the best.

I think we need some time apart.

I mean, you know, some time to appreciate each other.

And to try to figure out

why did we get married in the first place?

It's not like we're divorcing.

Just yet, or hopefully not.

But he got a lot of growing to do.

I'm right here by you.

I got your fucking back.

I can't believe Tammy and Waka are separating.

Especially because I know Tammy still loves Waka.

But when you've given all you can

and a man still can't do right by you,

the best thing to do is probably move on.

I'm gonna need you to help me move.

I can't be in the house no more, Bambi.

Oh, my gosh, are you sure?

I'm so depressed in there.

It reminds me of everything that we were building towards.

I found a beautiful townhouse.

And then Charlie, she asked me, like, "Mommy, we moving?"

She was like, "Is Waka coming?"

And I'm, like, "No, not this time."

I mean, I don't know

-what else to say. -Right.

This breakup is not just about me and Waka.

We're also breaking up our family.

Charlie does not know why Waka's not moving with us.

And I know for a fact Deb is struggling

with this situation too.

Normally, Deb is the first person I call

when I need a shoulder to cry on.

But I just don't have no more tears left to cry.

As a woman, sometimes we have to make decisions on our own

to figure out what we need to do for ourselves.

And right now, I need to stay strong, I need to focus.

And of course, I still invited my mother-in-law

to my fashion show.

I just hope that I can keep it together when I see her.

I'm proud of you, though, I am,

because you-- your shit is rolling.

You moving, bitch.

I was, like, I felt like I was dead.

Like, I couldn't do anything.

Girl, this show must go on.

-[snaps fingers] Okay. -Stuff gotta keep moving.

I got these swimsuits that need to be modeled.

Absolutely.

-Let's just keep this moving. -Keep it moving.

Absolutely, bitch, turn up.

[K. Michelle's "Mindful" playing]

* Fuck that bitch that he with I got my own money *

* Ain't nobody givin' me shit *

* I'm the original I'm the one That be cookin' that shit *

* She keep sayin' That I'm stealin' *

* I'ma look at that bitch Like who dat? *

Slide! Slide!

I'm in New York and I'm here for album promo.

I have radio, I have magazines, I have show rehearsal.

There's a lot to be done

when you have a real album coming out.

I should never be shaded about my music because I don't sleep.

I work to perfect everything.

Like, all the girls in Atlanta, everybody's, "I'm a star."

Everybody's in the studio but don't have a single.

Ain't never had one, and if they did,

it didn't see the light of day.

Everybody in Atlanta is always, like, making this music

that you never hear, ever... [chuckling]

Like, Betty "Chihuahua" Idol and D. Smith,

where are you receipts?

I really don't understand all this,

"I almost made it, I almost."

Almost doesn't count, idiot.

Everybody say they have a single.

[Ariane] Who that?

-Hey! -[squealing] Oh!

How you doing, buddy, what's up?

I did not know you were here.

I had to come to New York for some business,

and I knew K was in town

for this big Webster Hall show that she has coming up.

So, I asked her if she had some time for me,

and she told me to come through.

-You okay? -Yeah. I been working.

-I haven't slept. -I know you have.

I'm kind of frustrated after meeting with D. Smith.

She's very headstrong and stuck in her ways.

But maybe this isn't the right time

that she and I work together right now.

I need someone that's really gonna listen to me

and be positive at the same time.

I know that things didn't work out for K and I

when I auditioned for her.

But, things are working out so differently now,

and I'm in a different place.

I'm not here looking for a gig.

I am here to talk to and get some sound advice from a friend

who just happens to be super successful right now.

I'm proud of you, and this is

-why I'm like... -Thank you.

"Let me go see my boo."

Talk to her, let her know what the fuck it is

I'm really, really trying to do now, so...

What you doing?

I'm out here

working on my fucking music now, too.

Really?

I'm very big on people following their dreams

and doing what it is they love.

Especially if I call you a friend.

But I heard Ariane attempt to sing years ago

as my background singer...

Uh-un, she couldn't sing nowhere on stage with me.

I've sat down with D. Smith.

I think she's dope as an artist.

But I don't know if she's the right fit for me.

I don't know if you want a career that, um,

you perform in a basement in a hole in the wall.

I'm just worried.

Why-- why you worried?

It's very weird when a person comes to you

and says all of a sudden, "I wanna be a singer."

It's not that I'm just--

I'm trying to be a singer all of a sudden.

This has been happening all my life.

So many things just kept happening,

kind of deterred me.

I had to just keep taking care of my family

to where I couldn't take care of myself.

But now, K, listen, I'm telling you.

It's time for me to provide for me.

I want my friend to win,

but I can't show this big, like, I get it.

I can show you better than I can tell you.

If you wanna see what all this is about,

you can follow me around this week.

-Are you for real? -Yeah.

I didn't come here with any other agenda

but to get some sound advice from K.

But the fact that she's offering me

to come shadow her for the next couple of days

I think will be an amazing experience.

Yeah! This is gonna be fucking fun.

Give me some.

Can't wait.

* Yeah, you know *

* Just enjoying This California weather *

* The sunshine, pretty ladies You know what I'm saying *

* Palm trees All the good stuff, yeah *

[Joseline] The party is going on, honey.

-Nikki! Hey, pooky. -Hey, baby.

-Mmm... -You look so good.

I like it when they get together.

This is the look right here.

[Joseline] Stevie's hosting a pool party in L.A.,

and don't get it twisted, we not together,

but it is Grammy week, and so I'm gonna be in the building.

We might be separated, but we can put up a good front.

You looking like L.A. and all that.

Well, that's what I do, honey.

Yes! Showing all that greatness.

Last night we had a great time with this whore-ass Tommie.

And everybody knows what happens in L.A. stays in L.A.

And everybody knows I love me some Miss Nikki Baby.

Even though she wanted a little fisticuffs.

We don't wanna kick it with him, boo-boo,

we wanna kick it with you.

Yo, you been out here working today?

Yeah, man, trying to get the music back on.

-It's about time. -All right.

-Good to see you, bro. -You too.

It's good to see Fizz.

It's good to see Nikki, too, you know what I mean.

Joseline and I are still not together.

But at least we're gonna try to be cordial.

I don't know what that was with Tommie the other day.

I think Joseline thought she was bringing me

a little peace offering.

But today, I got a little surprise of my own.

-[woman] Hey! -What's up, Dawn?

Since we playing nice,

I even let her bring her girl, Dawn.

I know those two are hustling and scheming,

trying to go behind my back and take over Joseline's career,

but today is not about business.

We're here to have some fun, and everybody's invited.

I can't wait till Joseline notice my little

pink-hair protégé down there by the pool.

Hey!

See? The turn-up queen has arrived.

[indistinct chatter]

Stevie's hosting a pool party today.

And Dime said everybody's invited.

After my meeting with Lyfe yesterday,

I'm not even in a party mood,

and I keep playing that crazy-ass stunt in my head.

But I need my friends right now.

So I came to see Dime because this story

what I'm about to tell her is about to blow her mind.

I gotta tell you something.

You remember that shit you told me about Lyfe?

It's not true.

Do you know for a fact he's not married,

or is this something he just told you?

Okay, men lie.

But what he did do

is he bust me out with a ring, honey.

Girl...

There was a time when I really thought

that me and Lyfe would be perfect for each other.

The truth is, Lyfe played me and used me.

And then he has the audacity to blame me for us not working out.

He said it was a promise ring.

-What's the promise? -Girl, the promise!

He promised me I would never find a man like him.

So, after he gave me the ring,

he left, and we are not together right now.

-Y'all broke up? -We broke up.

And he let you keep the ring?

He let me keep the ring! I was, like--

Yeah, bye, bitch, uh--

-Bitch! -I can buy another heart.

[laughing]

If the ring real.

Girl, we gonna find out.

Yeah, we need to find out.

We gonna talk about that later.

But I need to keep it real with you.

I was there when Tommie and Tiarra got into it,

when Tommie admitted she was smashing Scrapp.

So, I hope that Tiarra can be more mature

when I let her know what's really going on

between me and Scrap.

I have something to tell you.

[sighs]

I told Lyfe the person I was,

like, talking to, whatever...

was Scrapp.

Who? Lil Scrappy?

Your baby daddy.

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

-Let us out! -Move!

Let me go!

Do he at least pay child support to cover whatever?

Stevie don't pay child support?

[Karlie] I told Lyfe the person I was, like,

talking to or whatever, was Scrapp.

I'm sitting here having a nice, relaxing time at the pool,

and Karlie Redd had the nerve to sit here and tell me

that she's sleeping with my baby daddy?

And I can tell by the look on Dime's face

that she knew the entire time.

Did you know about this, Dime?

[Dime] I don't know why Karlie

would choose this moment to confess her sins.

But I didn't have anything to do with this,

and it's not my business to tell.

You had sent me this text, right?

"I am not taking my son to see him.

I am dating someone new."

So, that was the green light for you

to hop on his dick?

[Tiarra] Okay, yeah, so what, I'm seeing J. Nick.

But what that got to do with having enough respect

for your friend to not to smash my leftovers?

Oh, but wait, we're talking about Karlie Redd.

The bitch that will fuck anything that moves.

[Tiarra] My baby daddy make me sick too.

Karlie can have him.

Karlie and Tommie can fight over him.

Before he went to jail--

Karlie, you're like 15.

Let me tell you something!

I was just trying to keep it 100 as a friend.

I was hoping you wouldn't make a scene,

but that's expecting too much from a hood rat.

So, come on, girl, let's go.

Girl, watch that...

You're still working at a nine-to-five!

But guess what, I got more money than you, Karlie.

You live in an apartment!

I built a house from the ground up!

It's on the south side! Everywhere...

It don't matter! It don't matter!

[Dime] No-no no-no no-no no, no, no, no, no!

Give me my motherfucking drink, bitch!

[Joseline] So, I'm chilling upstairs like a queen

looking down at the raggedy bitches, and, I'm, like...

"Bitch, is that Miss Dime Penny?"

Goddamn it.

I looked at my husband and I'm, like,

"This the type of rachet bitches you invite to your pool party?"

You a dick sucker for sport.

-Girl, please! -You nasty.

-It don't matter! -Bitch!

Grab it, bitch, come on, get it!

KK gonna whip your motherfucking ass!

Oh, dick sucker bitch.

[Karlie] You can keep that purse.

I'll get another Celine tonight.

Go!

Lord, these girls got no class wrecking Stevie's pool party

Me, well, I see Shenellica up there

watching like it's a spectator sport.

I'ma be nice and say "hey" to the host

and the woman who's not his wife.

I'm actually surprised to see her.

I thought they were beefing.

What's up, Hernandez?

-What's up? -Shenellica?

You happy to be around my husband?

You're not married, though.

I'm not married?

Stevie and I are gonna always be together.

So, guess what, Mimi, Tommie, Dime, all you bitches

that think we not, that try to break us up,

it ain't gonna happen.

And, look, you got the help with you.

Oh, I'm the help?

This is a sexy party, let's keep it sexy.

Why you so angry?

You the same bitch that told me they weren't married.

-So shut the fuck up. -No, you shut the fuck up.

Raggedy-ass bitch.

Dawn is the same troll

that was running around town last year

telling everybody that Stevie and Joseline weren't married.

This ain't the scene I wanna be in right here, yo.

Now she's sitting up here like Joseline's guard dog

ready to fight her battles. She's a fool.

These two bitches trying to bug me.

You a fraud. You been to jail.

-Look at you. -Shut the fuck up, ho!

I don't know why y'all invite her Stevie, come on.

I was hoping by Joseline seeing Dime at the party,

it would get a little rise out of her.

And it did just that.

You know, what's fair's fair!

I thought this was gonna be sexy.

Now you blame it on me because of the bitch you invited?

I just wish they wasn't busting up my grown and sexy party.

Come on, Dime. Go ahead, move.

[Jessica Dime] What the bitch wanna do?

I swear to God I'ma beat both of you hos!

Let us out, move!

I'm that bitch!

Y'all tripping, man.

Look out! You wanna see me?

Let me go! Let me go, guys!

[Joseline] I'm gonna let the security get rid

of this raggedy fat bitch.

I'm gonna go in the pool, and I wanna have me a great time.

Fake-ass bitch

because I'm a real bitch at the end of the day.

[Stevie] Yeah, that's right, that's what I'm talking 'bout.

[scattered cheers]

Our week in L.A. was a lot.

-That L.A. weather. -Oh, my God.

Girl, I didn't wanna leave!

I actually had business to conduct out there,

so I happened to miss out on Stevie's pool party

and a whole lot of other foolishness.

Tiarra tells me about Miss Karlie Redd

and her baby father hooking up.

Nothing really surprises me with Karlie.

If Karlie sees something she wants, Karlie goes for it.

But Tiarra and I have had five hours

on a plane to catch up.

And there's still so much more to talk about.

[Tiarra] I got a question.

Why is Joseline still insisting that that's her husband

after he's told the entire world,

"That's not my wife, I lied about everything"?

Who knows? Like, even after all of this,

they might still get back.

So, after Karlie old ass got kicked out of the pool party,

Dime got into it with Joseline and Dawn

and took every opportunity to let Joseline know

that she and Stevie ain't really married.

But it's like, Joseline is in denial.

Or maybe she's the one that's telling the truth.

You never know.

[Mimi] I never know what's going on with Stevie.

At the comedy club, I told him he had to show and prove.

He says one thing, he does the complete opposite.

We're supposed to be doing

this whole co-parenting thing together.

Do he at least pay child support to cover whatever?

Stevie don't pay child support?

Maybe he-- He throws bones.

Maybe I'm a fool, but Stevie's

never been on an official child support order.

Mainly because I really don't need his help.

But also because I just wanna keep the peace.

But, lately, I've been thinking

maybe I've been making a big mistake.

Ever since Joseline was buzzing all in my ear

about these two babies

that turned out to be a complete lie,

she kept telling me, "You need to handle your business,

and you need to get yours."

So, you know what?

I'm seriously considering taking him up and...

and having the courts solidify something

so that he can help me with Eva.

So, as I'm in L.A., Joseline Hernandez

sends me a text message and says that I need to put Stevie

on child support, like all the other mothers.

I'm really not sure what game she's playing.

Like, I don't know what's going on.

But guess what, what I'm gonna do

is what I feel is best for myself and my daughter.

I am seeing somebody.

Is it another girl or...

She is a woman.

Who is she?

I'ma keep that quiet for now.

Even though Chris and I broke up, we have been in touch.

And we see each other occasionally.

I've been sensing lately

that Chris is trying to get back with me,

but it's over between us, and I need Chris to move on.

I've moved on.

I wasn't expecting to jump

right back into a relationship,

but there's a friend that I've known for some years now,

and we started communicating,

and one thing kind of led to another,

and now we're dating.

After Chris and I broke up, we started communicating.

So, then what did Chris say about it?

Chris doesn't know.

-Mimi, you ain't told Chris? -No.

I do have some loose ends that I need to tie up with Chris

because I don't think Chris understands or gets

that this relationship, for me, is over.

The whole time we were in L.A.,

she was blowing me up.

I just stopped answering and...

So, imagine how that phone call's gonna go,

if she hear it from somebody else.

She deserve that conversation.

[K. Michelle] I love you, know what?

Safe sex and motherfucking paychecks.

Let's keep it pimpin'.

Why did you bring this bitch to my event for?

Where your paw, ho?

[overlapping shouting]

[K. Michelle] My record label has set up a press run

for me to promote my album, so I'm a good friend.

I invited Ariane to come

so that she can see how it really goes down.

What do you say to women in the dating world out there?

[K. Michelle] Focus on being a woman,

focus on your money.

Focus on your businesses and let the men chase.

I'm really glad that K asked me to come along.

It's very inspiring to watch K behind the scenes.

I mean, she's a great artist.

She knows what she's talking about.

She loves what she does.

And that in itself is very motivating and inspiring for me.

Over here to the hustlers?

I think K thought I was gonna be turned off

by the amount of work she puts into this.

But I'm so not.

I'm built for this.

Can we start from the top?

I just need to work with someone that believes in me.

And I'm not sure that D. Smith does.

-[cheering and applause] -[man] Uhh!

Ooh! Come on!

* Who the fuck *

* Told y'all hoes to open up? *

* Cut, that's enough! *

* I'm comin' straight From the gut *

* I ain't playin', who dat? *

Watching K on stage really took my head

to a place where I can do this.

* Slow up! *

* Tell that bitch To move back *

[cheering and applause]

I love you, know what?

Safe sex and motherfucking paychecks.

Let's keep it pimpin'.

I can't wait to get home to do what I need to do for my music.

I'm not sure if D. Smith is the right fit for me right now.

But there's plenty of producers in Atlanta.

[man] K. Michelle!

What's up? How y'all doing?

-[man] Hey, baby! -Hi.

[K. Michelle sighs, car door shuts]

I gotta go, I'm not waiting.

We don't wait. People run up on cars and everything.

We have to go.

I have to go.

What the hell?

I've been waiting, I sat right by the door.

What the fuck happened?

Like, okay, we came together.

I understand if you had to leave,

but I wouldn't leave my friend no matter what.

[Amber] People think I'm just a dancer, but I'm not.

I've been dancing to self-finance my cosmetic line

that I'm finally launching today.

I like this lip gloss, it's my favorite.

You wanna put it on?

After having my little chat with J-Nicks,

I really don't see no harm in helping Amber.

I just hope that Amber can keep her cool when she finds out

about the little surprise J-Nicks has for her.

[Amber] So I haven't seen J

since I started kicking it with Joc.

But word in the club is that J's smashing Tiarra.

And of course, J can't fess up and be a man

and tell me the truth.

I don't give one, two, or even three fucks

that you wanna downgrade.

But, what I do care about is that your disrespectful ass

can't even tell me in my face.

It come on the stick.

I know it do.

[chuckling] Come on, man.

Hold up.

What the fuck?

-Oh... -What's up?

Ain't no hard feelings with Amber.

That's my girl, she can do what she want.

She's moved on, and so have I.

So, I asked Tiarra to join me tonight,

so Amber can get the message loud and clear.

Why you bring this bitch to my event?

I came to show love.

-I-- I-- -You came to show love?

So, why you didn't come by yourself?

Bro told me that y'all had something going on.

Y'all smashed or whatever.

So, I didn't feel like it was a big deal.

I feel like it's an eye for an eye.

Where your po, ho?

Po? At the club you work at, bitch.

I've known Amber for a while now.

She constantly harasses me on my Instagram about J-Nicks.

Look who your nigga with.

[Tiarra] She's a thirsty ho.

I guess that's why Joc's with her.

Joc love thirsty hoes, like his ex, Karlie.

We grown, we adults.

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

Look, you got what you got.

She want what she want.

She got a piece of what she wanted.

[Amber] That pussy--

[overlapping shouting]

What the fuck?

Bitch, I'll beat yo ass!

Why am I always finding myself in situations like this?

Note to self.

Joc, you gotta do better.

But you suck pussy, ho!

You owe me, bitch!

[Yung Joc] Chill out with your mouth. These girls.

Where's Waka?

You come in here with some flowers

and think everything is supposed to be cool.

It's not cool.

[cheering and applause]

Do it for press, bitch.

[Tammy] Tonight, I am showing my new swimwear line.

I've never had such a big night

without at least Waka or Deb around to support me.

I mean, but with the separation,

I know that things can't be the same.

[cheering]

Yeah, Bam!

[cat calls]

Yeah! You go, Bam!

Long legs and everything.

[Scrappy] Man, the bachelor life, it was cool for a minute.

And all the parties, all the beautiful women.

But I just came to a realization

that the bachelor life ain't for me.

And Mom Dukes trying to play her matchmaker

trying to hook me with Betty

really made me realize that I only want one person.

And that's the Bam.

-[Scrappy] Come on, Bam! -Go, Bam!

And of course we have our problems.

But I'm here today to see if my girl

will give us a second chance.

And, hopefully, she won't shut your boy down

before I say what I got to say.

[Deb] Hi.

-Hey. -What's going on?

-How are you? -How are you?

[Deb] I really didn't wanna come here tonight.

I kind of feel out of place, but...

Waka gave me a call and said,

"Ma, you gotta show up and support Tammy."

With all this drama that's going on with Waka and Tammy,

we really haven't been seeing each other as much.

But me and Tammy have to have a one-on-one.

I really need to talk to my daughter right now.

[cheering and applause]

I have no idea when Deb snuck in that door.

But I am so relieved and happy to see her.

I'm happy to see you.

[chuckling]

Waka, Deb, Charlie, we're always gonna be family.

Oh, my gosh, good job. I'm so proud of you.

Tammy killed it tonight.

But I know she wishes Waka was here.

But she got me and the rest of her friends.

And we're gonna make sure she gets through all this mess.

[Rasheeda] It was, I mean, super killer.

Where's Waka?

You know, we separated.

Yeah, we took some time.

Really?

What can I say?

Are you all right?

I'm okay, I mean, I don't have time to not be.

[Rasheeda] Right.

-I got so much going on, like... -Right.

And I could not dwell on it.

Yes, I do miss his presence.

-Right, of course. -But...

-Oh, no, sis. -Oh, Tammy.

-Please. -Don't cry.

I know it's tough, though. I know it's tough, girl.

[Tammy crying]

[Rasheeda] Marriage is tough, relationships is tough.

All of it is tough, Tammy, I know.

I am so sad to hear about Waka and Tammy being separated.

For her to be going through that, I can totally relate.

Kirk and I have had our ups and down.

We all know this.

It's tough, I know it's tough.

I know there's nothing I can really say

to make her feel better, but just give her

and show her support and just pray for her.

[Bambi] You just had an amazing show.

You look pretty, don't make your mascara run.

[man] Okay, right, you had an amazing show,

and you have a lot more coming.

[Bambi laughing] Okay.

Well, well, well.

[Rasheeda] Whatcha doing?

-How you doing? -What's up?

-How you doing? -What's happening?

-What's happening, son? -I worked so hard.

I really could use these right now.

Yeah.

Seeing Scrappy come backstage

with these damn roses.

-We could just split it apart. -Right.

[Tammy] Somebody needs something

to make us smile at this moment.

It's for the Bam. 'Scuse me.

Now, Bambi always talking about Scrapp, you don't support her.

So, when I heard she was walking in Tammy's fashion show,

I said, "Hmm, I'ma support the Bam."

How you doing? Can I hug you?

Sure.

Now, this the woman that done been beside me

through everything.

I mean, we done got on each other nerves,

broke up because we needed a break.

But now, I'm here to claim what's mine.

I'm gonna get my old lady back.

So Scrapp stopped blowing up my phone a few weeks ago.

I just assumed he'd met somebody.

So, when I see him here tonight, I'm a little excited.

You know what I'm saying?

I broke it off with Chaz.

Scrapp still has this little shimmer on me, a little bit.

So, I'm happy to see him.

I heard some running around town with somebody, um...

I heard the same thing about you.

I ain't got nobody, though.

You know what I'm saying? I just, you know...

Just been missing my boo.

I ain't gonna lie, I do miss Scrapp.

But I'm not gonna fall for his little cute-ass

little puppy dog face.

I was going out with somebody.

But it didn't work out for me.

Well, me being alone by myself

didn't work out for me, neither.

So you brought some flowers?

I just wanted to see if we can

rekindle some things, you know what I'm saying?

Okay, Scrapp, like, seriously--

I see you like a,

a floating goddess walking down the runway.

And I was just like, "Wow, like, that's what I miss."

I'm gonna be floating down some other shit,

and it's gonna be a aisle,

and it's not gonna be a runway.

So, I don't know if it's gonna be with you

or with somebody else.

I-I feel like you play a lot of games.

Like, you come in here with some flowers

and think everything is supposed to be cool.

And it's not cool.

Well, I ain't trying to look cool.

I'm just trying to tell you I love you.

-Yeah, okay. -You know what I'm saying?

You know, obviously, like, I do care about you,

I do love you and all that.

But you need to be really clear and specific.

This is not the answer, okay?

-No, no, no, we are the answer. -Okay?

Well, thank you for coming.

I'll believe it when I see it.

[Scrappy] I know Bam is looking for more

than I was able to give last time,

but I think, now,

I'm ready to do big moves, you know what I'm saying?

You know, make them plays. You know what I'm saying?

Show and prove, let her know what's real.

[chatter and laughter]

Are you celebrating without me?

[Deb] Well, I'm really happy I showed up tonight.

Tammy really did it.

I'm even more impressed to see how Tammy has grown

into a force to be reckoned with.

Tammy, I'm so proud of you.

I love you, boo.

Come here, I want to talk to you a little bit.

[Tammy] I love Deb to death.

And I've been avoiding this conversation with her.

But it's time I let her know what my plans are

for me and Charlie's future.

Yeah, well, I don't want to make it worse.

I'm not ready for this, I'm just really not.

[Deb crying]

Yeah, well, I don't want to make it worse.

But, you know, I'm in the process of moving out.

Just...

It just feels weird

being in the house without my family.

This has been a major strain.

Even me and him, we've been back and forth.

So, today, he text me.

Like, upset because I wasn't gonna come.

"You need to go to Tammy's swimsuit thing tonight, Ma."

Hmm.

I said, "Well, Waka, you should go too."

-[laughing] -He said, "I'm not there.

Be the bigger person, Ma. You the real OG."

And he's made sure that he came back,

that he said go down and make sure that I came in here.

-Well, that's good. -But I'm gonna come in here

to represent anyway.

Doesn't matter what going-- We're family, period.

Nothing and nobody could ever change that.

Like, that shit that y'all have to deal with it and...

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

When I hear you're moving out the house and you're doing

all these other kind of things, I'm not ready for that yet.

I'm not ready for this, I'm just really not.

Like, I'm really not ready for it.

[crying softly]

Debbie, don't cry.

[sobbing]

[whispering] I love you.

I'm so sorry.

[sobbing continues]

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

I've heard you are now involved with someone else?

There's always gonna be somebody better,

but I thought you was my nigga.

Let's talk about child support for Nugget.

I just wanna get something solidified

between you and I for her, but I want to get it on paper.

What should I do, baby?

Let me check it out for you.

Check it out for us.

Because everybody can see that ring is not real.

If you wanted something between me and you,

you would keep it real with me.

I wanted to be with you!

And you don't wanna work it out because you're fake!

I've been dating.

So y'all been fucking?

I had his baby already.

This is the DNA right here.

"Probability of paternity, 99 point..."

Yeah.

I talked to Tommie.

She told me that Joseline called the police on her.

She's going around saying that I called the police on her.

So, you gonna sit down and talk to her?

Yeah, I'm gonna sit down and talk to the bitch.

That bitch is going down.

I just feel like you're gonna self-destruct, Tommie.

I'm not gonna self-destruct.

I'm gonna destruct some other motherfuckers.

It's gonna be a bad fucking day when I run into that bitch.

If you wanna run this shit

a whole different way, we could do this.

I never called the police on you, but now I will.

Are my titties doubled up?

You brought them things out, which is all right, dude.

I wasn't supposed to?

Oh, I mean... Mm, that's...

I mean, you know, that's part of what you do.

[giggling]

You kind of cool, I'm glad you in my life.

What's that mean, you like me?

I mean...

I like you in a lot of ways.

You wanna keep doing this to me?

-Ha! -Oh...

I already hit you with that double talk.

That why you here looking at me like this now.
