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

I'm trying my ass off to work on my marriage,

but she always does things that's out of her place.

You're in trouble.

I thought you was at work.

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

I'll be the judge of that.

Been missing my boo.

You come in here with some flowers

and think everything is supposed to be cool,

and it's not cool.

You have to do more. A last name.

Last name?

Yes, a last name.

[scoffs]

Are you drunk?

A little bit. [chuckling]

What's wrong?

You need to see somebody because you're killing me.

I don't want my grandson to grow up

thinking that his grandmother hates his mother.

So King's birthday is coming,

and it's important to me to spend his birthday.

If you wanna see what all this is about,

you can follow me around this week.

Yeah!

[K. Michelle] I gotta go, I'm not waiting.

We don't wait.

What the hell?

Were you and Joseline ever married?

No, we weren't.

By the time I'm done with the both of you,

she gonna be so mad at you.

Nigga, you gonna be on child support.

She gonna take all your money.

Let's talk about child support for Nugget.

But I want to get it on paper.

Welcome to the business world.

* 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 *

[Ariane] Since I got back from New York,

I've thrown myself into my music.

I came back charged and inspired.

I realize that I don't need advice,

I just need to do what I was born to do,

and that's make music.

And that's exactly what I've been doing.

-Hi. -What you doing? You look cute.

K is back in town, so I asked her to meet me.

I have some exciting news to share,

but first I want to ask her why she left me outside her concert.

How you doing?

Um, today, I'm in a different space.

After the concert, I was really, like,

"Why the fuck did K leave me in New York?

Did she leave me on purpose?"

Because I was like, "We spent all this time,"

and I was like, "I wanted to congratulate her

on this moment,"

because I'd never seen you,

like, hands-on like that,

and I wanted to just be like, "K...

I'm so fucking proud of you."

So I kind of was disappointed, you know, like...

I'm sorry.

When you get out that venue, you have to go.

You don't know who's gonna come up to that car.

I'm glad that we're talking about it,

because I kind of took it personal and I was like...

I definitely felt slighted.

-I was like... -Did you really?

"What the fuck?" Absolutely!

-I'm sorry. I'm sorry. -It's okay.

I believe K, I just wish she would have

texted or called or something to explain the situation.

But I'm glad we cleared the air,

and we can put that behind us.

Truth is, shadowing K was a big part

of the motivation I needed

to move full stream ahead with my music.

And I have some really big news to share with her.

Watching you, that was monumental for me,

"I can do this shit, man."

Do what you wanna do.

With you saying that, I have been recording,

and I'm about to do a listening party.

-So you have music. -Yes.

How many songs do you have?

Well, now I have, like, one and a half.

Because the other half isn't done.

You got one and a half songs?

What are you finna have them listen to?

I don't even want to say a listening party.

It's like a sneak peek.

And I would love for you to be there.

I'm gonna be gone. I'm getting back on the road.

She's like, "I have one and a half songs."

I guess after she saw my show, she got super-inspired.

You know, I make it look so easy.

I'm gonna support Ariane.

But I'm a little shaky to what Ariane has going on.

Thank God that I don't have to lie about why I can't make it.

I actually am booked.

It needs to be good, Ariane.

I know it will. It's gonna be awesome.

Your first intro has to be good.

Who else did you invite to this listening party?

Karlie, Rasheeda, Mimi.

Girl, I don't got nothing to say.

Let the fucking birds fly.

Their life is enough punishment.

-I don't have to do it. -They're doing great!

Way better than all that shit.

And you're right, and you know what?

People can be misunderstood, and people can be judged.

Me, one of them.

And Joseline.

[giggling]

Me wanting like this old Kumbaya shit

I have going on right now,

I want Ariane to embrace Joseline.

I've seen a side of Joseline that other people haven't seen.

And that's just a very strong woman,

but a strong woman that needs some love.

I just feel like y'all have to open up to her.

I don't mind opening up to her.

And if you gonna have this listening party,

I want Joseline to come.

[Ariane] Wow, seriously?

I love K, and I'll do anything for her,

but I really value my friendship with Mimi.

Putting she and Joseline in a room together

could be a disaster.

She's gonna behave.

You're gonna have a great night.

* I keep this up on the regular *

* I don't know what I'm gon' do with it *

* Nigga, they beg for my cellular *

* The money be coming so fluidly *

[Rasheeda] Ain't nothing like a nice little housewarming

with family and friends,

just to make everything feel like home.

But I just got my floors polished,

so I said, "Let's take this thing outside,

enjoy a little barbecue and a little fun in the ATL sun."

On these 11 acres, honey, we can do a lot.

Thank you!

Thank you, darlings.

[Rasheeda] It hasn't been easy lately,

but I feel like we've turned a little corner

with our spud, little Kelsie Frost.

Kelsie's picked up her game at Pressed,

and I see a big change in her.

She's even asked to perform at our party,

so you know what?

That's what artists do.

She may be even closer to be signing with D-Lo.

-How you been doing? -My marriage just has spirals.

-In a good way or a bad way? -Good-bad way.

After Momma Dee tracked Ernest down the other day,

I was really feeling bad.

I did not want to add to their problems.

So I decided to be the bigger person

and I invited Momma Dee and Ernest

to Rasheeda's barbecue.

But it seems like Momma Dee is not interested

in making amends.

What's going on over here?

What's good? See you up in...

-Yeah, I'm talking to Shirley. -By yourself?

What's going on?

You know, me and Miss Shirley, we been, uh...

I've been basically a sounding board.

You know, I don't have friends,

so she's been a big help.

-I didn't know how Ma Dukes... -How she think.

Don't think she gonna like this.

I wish she was here,

so we won't look like the way you thinking that maybe--

Because you know!

[Scrappy] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

-[Ernest] Holy... -What's up?

-Hey there, Ma. -Hey!

-Hey, how you doing? -What's up?

[Momma Dee] At first, I was skeptical

when Shirleen reached out to me.

But you know what I realized?

That she was only trying to help.

Me and my husband Ernest have our own issues to resolve,

and it has nothing to do with Shirleen.

So I want to apologize.

You know, for my behavior and my insecurities

and all the crazy mess that I've done to you.

The snooping, the nest, but...

I forgive you. I mean, I accept your apology.

Oh, God.

I came to give Shirleen my apology.

But I got something for that Ernest.

I did my last will and testament,

and I need you to read it out loud.

-[Ernest] Wow! "My spouse." -Read it out loud.

"I have tooken care of my spouse in marriage...

And choose to solely provide for my children and grandchildren.

I give to my spouse $1."

Ain't that us some bullshit right there.

This is the B.S. that I have to put up with all the time.

It's not like I'm with Dee for the money.

I love Dee, even if she is full of these crazy stunts.

Maybe now that she's got these issues off her chest,

we could focus on the real issues in our marriage.

-Ma! -And don't go spending it

in more than one place, you hear?

-Ma... -Shut up, Scrappy.

[Scrappy] Ernest can't win for losing with Ma Dukes,

you know what I'm saying?

It's a handful dealing with Momma Dee.

[electric guitar playing]

[Stevie J] Since I got back from L.A.,

I had a lot of time to think about everything.

And it's time things change.

I've given Joseline multiple chances

to make things right between us.

But Joseline is only interested in herself.

Joseline has refused to apologize

for taking that disrespectful picture,

by lying about these fake babies.

She was never interested in forming a bond with my kids

or my parents.

She's like a bad habit that I need to kick.

I see you're still playing the same old tune.

You don't learn no new tune yet?

I got a few new tunes.

You know I'ma always have a special love for Joseline.

In a perfect world, we supposed to be the dynamic duo

that took over the world.

But you know, in life, you never get what you ask for.

Ever since we left L.A. it was shaky, right?

We get to Atlanta, completely separated.

[sighs loudly]

"Ah," what?

I'm just listening to the bullshit

you got to say.

That's all I'm doing.

What are you gonna tell me, Stevie?

Um...

I miss you.

I-- I know that.

-You miss me, too? -No.

-Okay. -Not at all.

I don't love you.

[Joseline] I'm face to face with my husband,

and what's going through my mind right now

is that he should really be on his knees,

apologizing for lying.

"I'm sorry for stabbing you in the back.

I'm sorry for being a horrible husband

that I have been for five years.

I'm sorry that I went behind your back and hurt you.

I'm sorry." But you know what?

The only thing that he can say is that he misses me?

Fuck you. What about that?

What's up with you, man?

You gonna run from a nigga like me your whole life,

the only nigga that's been there for you.

It's funny how things change, right?

Oh, yeah, thanks to you,

I'm on child support with Mimi.

But I got the bread. That ain't the problem.

But a real wife wouldn't do that.

-I'm your wife? -A real wife wouldn't do that.

I thought you was unclaiming me all over the radio station.

Now I'm a real wife?

You're not gonna own up to nothing, right?

Own up to what?

You telling Mimi I had a baby by Promise B. Mae.

One kiddo.

Two kiddo.

Three kiddo.

Four kiddos.

Five kiddos.

Oh, now you got another kiddo.

That's six.

Then you got another one.

You're delusional.

That's seven.

No, you're delusional for losing all of this.

-Eight kids. -Oh! Nine kids.

You might have ten.

-Or 11, 12... -Nobody believes you.

Mimi believed me, because you on child support.

That's only chump change. I'ma take care of mine anyway.

Hmm.

How many petals come in a rose?

That's how many kids you got.

I don't know how you on a high horse.

Tell me how you on a high horse.

Oh, no high horse. I'm just sick of your shit.

You the one back hanging with Dawn,

the same broad that talked dirty and greasy about you.

And she just gonna fucking throw you to the side.

-Never disrespect-- -What you gonna do?

These streets is mine.

Man, listen, man.

Goodbye.

Goodbye to you!

Looking a little flabby and fat.

Good night, bitch. You a ho.

Yet again, Joseline thinks she can disrespect me,

like I'm nothing to her.

See, she might not be Mrs. Jordan,

but she's still under contract with me.

She can't do nothing without me, whether she like it or not.

I'm the boss, and I'ma always be the boss.

We done with this bitch.

Can I do it, Ma?

Do you give me permission to do this?

-Because I'm trying to do it. -[groaning]

I couldn't be with her anymore.

-I've heard this before. -Listen, man.

I wanna get back on a better page with you.

If you'll let me.

You're a fake-ass bitch.

You're a lying fake-ass bitch at that.

[Momma Dee] * Y'all know it's about to go down *

[Yung Joc] * Let it go *

[rapping indistinctly]

[Yung Joc] * Say what? *

[Momma Dee continues]

* In that order, in that order *

* In that order, in that order *

Ma Duke popping, man. You know what I'm saying?

I appreciate seeing my mom over there doing her bus-ni-ees,

doing what she always wanted to do.

* In that order, in that order *

* In that order *

[cheering and applause]

That was great.

Ever since I talked to Tammy,

man, my head clear, my heart's full,

and I know just what the hell to do.

The only thing missing is Ma Dukes' blessing.

We need to be in place so we can be in position

to make this next move.

I gotta be the one to say I'm proud of you.

That was so good.

Really? After all these years.

I can't even stop smiling, man, I know that.

I looked right over at you.

I appreciate that, bro.

Anyway, where Ernest at?

He supposed to be right here with you.

See, the motherfucker ain't here.

He ain't never supported me.

He still mad at you about that will?

Yeah, he mad at me about the will.

-[laughing] -Because-- Hold up.

She got a will, and it say

he just get a dollar.

I thought it was for richer or for poorer.

I will honor my vows if Ernest will only honor me.

If Ernest expects more than a dollar bill,

he needs to contribute to the palace

and show the queen some real loving.

I hope my son Scrappy learns from my mistakes

and get him a princess that can earn her own coins.

What's up with Betty Idol?

Man, listen, man, I ain't really...

-You know what I'm saying? -You gonna hit the shit?

-You gonna hit Betty? -No!

Okay, so what's going on with you, then?

Why you ain't dabbling?

What boo you working?

I'ma tell you, if you let me talk.

You know what I'm saying? I'm...

What?

[Scrappy] Now, see, I ain't stunting on Betty Idol.

All I'm stunting is the Bamster.

And I feel like Mom Dukes,

she need to get on board and respect her siz-ni-ee,

her son.

And respect the woman I'm in love with.

I seen her at Tammy's fashion show,

my heart dropped and hit my toes, you feel me?

-No. -Whoa!

You should be thinking clearly.

I-- You got circumcised when you was a baby,

so I don't know no foreskin over you.

Ain't nothing blinding you.

Cover your ears, cous.

Whoa, what are you talking about, Momma Dee?

What are you doing?

Whatever you wanna do, bro, listen.

I ain't gonna make no more jokes about the situation

with you and Bambi.

Because I love you, cous, and I want you to be happy,

and if that woman got whatever it is that--

She got that lock on his ass. She got a lock on that boy.

He can't go nowhere.

What the fuck did Bambi do to you

the way you cannot get over her?

I mean, she done did what every...

other woman didn't do, you feel me?

Shawty just done show me some real love.

You know what I'm saying? Like, unconditional.

Like, you know, I kind of hurt her,

and I went to go holler at her,

and she was like, "You gotta do more."

Okay.

[Momma Dee] I am so fed up with Scrappy

keep trying to fit this damn glass slipper on the Bam!

Listen, I'm going on my heart, Ma Dukes.

-For real. -All right.

[Momma Dee] But my prince is a grown-ass man

when it's all said and done.

I can't tell him who to give his heart to!

Lord knows, you know I've tried.

[Tiarra] So it's King's birthday party,

and I'm so excited, me and KK planned

this huge extravaganza.

And we did it without ripping each other's faces off.

Whoo!

After the tearful makeup session that we had,

I wasn't 100% sure that the old lady had turned a new leaf.

-Hey! -Hey, boy!

But she's so excited about today,

and she's really on her best behavior.

I am praying for a fun day with no drama,

because I would hate to show my black ass

in front of all these kids.

Who is that?

Oh, that's my friend, J-Nicks.

He was coming to help.

Come on, kids. Y'all will be back in a minute.

[Karen] I know J-Nicks and Scrapp are friends.

The situation is just trashy.

It's just not right.

My son is gone. He's in jail.

And you pop in the door with this man.

This is King's party.

-But I thought-- -And it's no disrespect.

-It's all good. -Are you leaving?

Damn...

KK kick me out the party.

I have to respect us, so I have to respect her wishes.

No worries. It's all good.

I got respect for Sas. I got respect for Scrapp.

I would never disrespect a mama,

no matter how she talk about me.

If she want me to leave, I'm gone.

-See you later. -[chuckling] I'll see you.

It's just one moment.

I don't want any outsiders, boyfriends, or whatever else.

I just don't want anybody here

and his dad's not here, I just don't think it's right.

He's a nerd, and he's not cute.

[both laughing]

I just want you to do better, bitch.

[Karen] At least Tiarra can do one thing right,

and respect my wishes.

I'm not gonna have it any other way.

[Sas] It's my nephew King's birthday today.

I'm mad my brother not here to see it.

But we gonna hold it down, we gonna make sure

my nephew have a great time.

Glad to see y'all two working together.

Everything looks good. I'm proud of y'all.

-She's been raising hell all... -Can I get a group hug?

Ohh. Love y'all.

It's very important for me to be there for my nephew

and be a good influence to him, because my brother's gone.

So that's where I step in and make sure

he's getting taught the right things

while my brother's gone away.

[all cheering]

Every day, King asks us when his father's gonna come home.

And it's on days like today

that he really, really misses Scrapp.

King, come here.

I'm not ready to take King to see his dad.

I just think he's too young, and I don't want

to expose him to that environment.

[Scrapp] Happy birthday, boy!

Who is that?

But, KK and I, we've planned the next best thing.

[King] Hi, Daddy.

[King] Yes.

I love you, too.

[Tiarra] What's wrong?

[crying]

Love you, too. [sniffles]

Come on, baby.

[Tiarra] It's hard on everyone, but especially King.

His dad is his best friend.

I'm trying everything to make this family work

while Scrapp is gone,

but having Sas and KK around

will make things easier for King.

I met with the human tornado the other day.

Joseline.

Will you marry me?

Gonna marry me? What's happening?

[Stevie J] For the last five years,

it's been all about Joseline.

And now it's time for me to do me.

Today, I'm on a photoshoot for my sparkling wine, Moreno,

and my beautiful model Delicious is here

to add some more sexy to my shoot.

See, Joseline's problem is

she thought she could always be around.

But there's a bunch of women more beautiful and more sexy

ready to take your spot.

Oh! Ah.

[Stevie J] Hey, Mimi. What's going on?

How you doing?

I've seen better days.

[Mimi] I was surprised to hear from Stevie,

seeing as the only contact we have had

has been through our lawyers.

What's been going on with you?

I haven't talked to you or seen you in a minute.

[Mimi] I thought twice about coming,

but then again, I have no hard feelings.

It was my own stupid fault for getting sucked back

into the ridiculous drama of Stevie and Joseline,

but trust me, that was the last time.

I'm gonna say I'm not mad at this child support thing,

but I'ma take care, I'ma handle my responsibilities.

Perfect.

Mimi and I have had an amicable relationship

all through the years.

And Joseline did everything in her power to jeopardize that.

I was pissed at Mimi,

not for putting me on child support,

but for allowing evil Joseline to get in her head.

I met with the human tornado the other day.

Joseline.

Shawty's evil, yo.

I don't think it's fair that she got us to the point

that we at with this child support thing.

What was she trying to gain?

-She befriended me... -Puppet master.

Puppet master.

And seeing those text messages...

She tried to play a puppet master

to put a wedge in between us.

She is a very hateful--

She needs some work some spiritual healing.

I'm over it, you know what I'm saying, I'm--

-Hmm? -I said I'm over it.

-I've heard this before. -Listen, man.

I'm over it.

I just wanna free myself.

Take that monkey off your back.

I couldn't be with her anymore.

I didn't nothing but show love to the Puerto Rican princess.

But I got hate in return.

Man, I'm grateful we didn't tie the knot for real,

or have no kids, because this relationship

turned out to be destructive.

I wanna get back on a better page with you.

You know what I'm saying? If you'll let me.

I have been the same person that you met

when you stepped on my foot 17, 18 years ago.

-Yeah, kind of. -Same girl.

-Same girl. -Yeah.

And I just want us to be able to...

be on the same page when it comes to you and I.

-When it comes to Eva. -And it comes to Eva, right.

I put Stevie on child support not out of vengeance,

but to establish some clear boundaries.

No more games.

We need to respect each other and get along.

We're co-parents. That's it, and that's all.

It's time we put our personal to the side

and put our attention on our daughter Eva,

where it belongs.

You know, we at a great place in life right now.

I'm doing great things, I'm setting my sights

on looking for new talent.

Can I give you a small tidbit of advice?

Don't sleep with the artists!

Work on you. Get you together.

Yeah, I need to get it together.

[laughing]

-Give me a hug. -Tell me you love me.

You know I love you.

[laughing] You know I do.

[Bambi] Why am I here?

[Scrappy] You been saying you want me to step it up.

I call this stepping it up.

You feel me? Yes?

It's a wide open space.

Got the waterfall right here.

You can have a stage. You know what I'm saying?

You can be up here rapping and stuff.

Bam been tripping on me for years, shawty,

you know what I'm saying, about not putting her on.

That why she got mad and took the dog back

when she found out I'm messing with Betty Idol.

But now I'm finna show I can step it

all the way up, you feel me?

And then we can sit right here in the middle

and we can just dance.

I thought it was gonna be a stage right here.

I'm not gonna lie, I thought it was kind of cute

that he had this big vision for me performing and all this.

I mean, it's a nice gesture, but he needs to really wow me

so I can really believe that

he's gonna be committed to this relationship.

-Hi. -Hi.

How are you, guys?

Good. How y'all doing?

[Rasheeda] Scrappy has made some grand master plan

to win Bambi back,

and he wants me and Kirk to be a part of it.

So all we can say is,

what you need us to do, Scrap?

We're here this time.

[Tiarra] Momma Dee's here, too.

Ernest is here.

After I gave Ernest the one-dollar bill,

he didn't pack his bags.

It really means a lot to me.

Me and Ernest's marriage is on the mends for right now.

We're gonna work things out, just between the two of us.

After all, it was the two of us that said, "I do."

I don't know what you up to, but I love you.

I love you, too, Ma.

Hey!

[Bambi] What the ... is Tammy doing here?

Just because my love life isn't going according to plan

doesn't mean I've given up on love.

[Scrappy] Ma Dukes in the house!

[laughing] Mama... What is this?

[Bambi] What are you doing?

Loving you, boo boo.

[Scrappy] Now, I can't really see my life without Bam.

You know what I'm saying?

I done invited some friends and some fams

from hers and mines,

to let everybody know and her know

that I love the Bam!

Do y'all know why y'all here?

[all] No.

You know, she say I don't support her.

She say I'm selfish.

This is to show them that I really, really love you.

[Bambi] To show them?

I just wanted to just tell her

in front of y'all that I love her.

-Aww... -You feel me?

Can I do it, Ma? Can-- Is it--

Can-- Do you give me permission

to do this, because I'm trying to do this.

[all] Ohh...

I'm trying to do it.

-You have my blessing. -Okay.

Bam... will you marry me?

Will you, now?

Gonna marry me? What's happening?

Bam!

[laughter and applause]

Huh? Would you marry me?

-Did you say yes? -Yes.

She said yeah.

[cheering and applause]

Give me your hand, boo.

[laughing] It's this hand.

Oh, my. Well, and it fits!

Oh, my God, you did a good job.

[all] Aww...

Yeah. Mmm.

[Momma Dee] Last year, my son put his feelings aside

about me and Ernest.

So it's only right that I put my feelings aside

and be down for my son.

Congratulations.

I wish him all the love with the Bam.

Yes, I said it. The Bam.

She is what she is. I can't take that away.

[pop, all cheer]

And I can't take away how my son feels about her.

I love my son, and my love for Bam

is gonna grow.

But just know, I will be watching.

Let me just say this.

We all deserve to be loved.

[all] Amen.

[overlapping chatter]

I get all of my temper from my dad.

He had a-- Ohh.

[Ariane] Everybody, say hi.

After stepping outside of myself

and seeing things from other people's perspective,

I decided to see if it's another way

that I can deal with the stresses in my life.

So I hope talking to the therapist today

will give me some insight on how I can reach my goals

and rid all of these distractions.

-So take a moment. -[laughing]

And just tell me why you're here today.

How are you feeling?

I'm feeling really fucked up

because, um, I'm here.

Hmm.

-Take it slow. -I need a drink.

So you like to drink?

Yeah. I love it so much.

I indulge it in a little bit too much.

Have you drank anything today?

Is that really a question for this meeting?

Well, I was just curious

if you've drank anything before coming here.

I had a few shots. It wasn't like a major--

It wasn't a Tommie day.

And what does a Tommie day look like?

A Tommie day looks like you wake up in the morning.

I get fly as a motherfucker.

And you walk outside, and everybody hates you.

Why? Why the fuck do they hate me?

[crying] I don't know.

A lot of people around me

would consider me an alcoholic.

But I wouldn't consider myself an alcoholic.

I don't have to have a drink every day.

Just certain days when things get heavy.

But, like, once I start drinking, I just can't stop.

Why don't you tell me a little bit about your relationships.

Like what, like, um, men, like, family?

You have a romantic relationship?

I had a romantic relationship.

And that guy is, um, in jail right now.

He got 20 years to five.

It's just like, the only thing

that pleased me outside of this fucking crazy world

is not here no more.

So I don't have

a relationship romantically right now.

I was in love with Scrapp, but he lied to me,

over and over again, and treated me like scum,

like I never meant anything to him.

My whole life has been about betrayal and broken trust.

And now, I want all that to end.

Tell me a little bit about your family relationships.

I've always been the head provider of my family.

I'm a sister of seven kids.

I was raised around all boys.

All we had to play with was the cemetery.

That's where we lived. We lived in death.

We used to go over there and play football.

[fighting tears] We still made happiness out of what we had.

So that's what I'm doing right now in life.

I'm making happiness out of what I have.

I lived in the shelter. I've been in a group home.

I was in juvenile for just running away.

You know what I'm saying?

I've been from juvenile to jail

every single year of my life.

I had my first baby in the county.

-You understand what I'm saying? -Wow.

And I'm just trying to part ways from that.

I get all of my temper from my dad.

He denied me. You know what I'm saying?

He had a lot of anger towards me.

He had a, um...

[sobbing]

He had a calendar up.

And it had our birthdays on it, me and my sister.

You know, we was both beefing with him.

He had our names crossed out, blacked out in black,

like he don't fuck with us.

[Tommie] I get told all the time

that I'm like the spitting image of my father.

And I never really knew him.

He did 17 years of prison.

My whole childhood, I just remember

going to the prison to see my dad,

and, um, next thing, he got out, as--

After 17 years, lived free for one year,

and he was killed.

So we never really got to patch things up.

Tell me, what's your biggest goal?

[sighs] I want to get to the root...

of why my success is not happening.

I don't want my old lifestyle

to keep affecting my new lifestyle,

because I know I'm destined for greatness.

It's not easy to open up,

but I appreciate your strength.

Thank you.

Give me a hug.

[Ariane] Thank you for coming out.

Tonight's a big night for me.

This is my first single, and I'm really excited

for everyone to hear it.

Hi!

I invited everyone, including D and Betty,

and I apologized to D for storming out her

the way that I did.

And the fact that she's here

shows me that she's a real pro.

Even though working with D right now isn't a good fit for me,

I still have mad respect for her.

I've been on an incredible journey,

writing and recording.

And tonight, everyone gets to hear my music

for the first time.

-Hey... -Look who's here!

[Ariane] I thought long and hard about K's request

to invite Joseline, and I wasn't going to,

because this is my night.

But I feel as though I owe it to K,

because she allowed me to shadow her in New York.

I'll be right back. Give me a moment.

K promised that Joseline's turned over a new leaf.

So if I can help make peace, I will.

That's what I do.

But I don't want to regret my decision.

I want to share one of the first records

that I've been working on,

and the song is called Cookies and Love.

[Ariane singing indistinctly on playback]

* What once was special *

* Seems to have disappeared *

Ariane is a beautiful girl.

Beautiful spirit.

You know, I love her energy.

And I must admit, this is really nice.

It's very good to see her doing so well.

Hey...

[cheering and applause]

[Mimi] I can't believe Ariane has finally done it.

She's been talking about making music for years,

and I'm so happy she's finally doing it.

The last few weeks of my life

have been nothing but stress and conflict.

It is so nice to be here with friends,

away from the Stevie and Joseline drama.

What y'all think? That is so sexy!

-Song sound really good. -I'm so proud of you.

You sound so hot.

-It is hot. -[Ariane] Thank you.

Joseline's at the bar.

[Rasheeda] Did you invite her?

I did extend the invitation.

Really?

-Don't be mad at me. -Really?

I'm gonna go over and thank her for coming out.

So y'all excuse me. Hold on one second.

[Rasheeda] Now, we sitting here trying to celebrate Ariane,

and here comes Joseline and Dawn.

They missed the whole listening part

of the listening party.

So you know they wasn't here for that.

They here for some other shit.

Something's gonna happen.

[Mimi] Ariane brings this peasant.

Everybody was confused.

I think Ariane is trying to make the peace with everybody

and make everybody happy, and, yeah, girl,

it's not gonna work and it's not gonna happen.

Hi!

Hello, beautiful.

How are you?

I'm wonderful.

Y'all wanna come over and say hello?

I guess.

So K. Michelle tells Ariane

that, you know, all of the girls never gave me a chance,

and they always talking bad about me,

and none of them came to support me

with my video release party.

And that she thought that Ariane should invite me

to her listening party.

I really didn't want to go,

and I'm so bothered by the fact

that K. Michelle thought that was a good idea.

But I'll handle that later.

But Dawn dragged me out of the house,

and trust me, I'm not in the best mood at all tonight.

[Ariane] Say hi, everybody.

Goddamn!

Escort that bitch out!

I ain't going nowhere, ho!

Right, neither am I!

Face me, then, ho!

[Ariane] Say hi, everybody. Goddamn!

[Mimi] I cannot believe Ariane would invite

this lying Satan's spawn to her party.

After everything Stevie and I go through,

I know that there's always gonna be

some sort of love there.

And that's why she's so bitter

and has this hatred for me,

because she knows that man loves me for real.

[D. Smith] Ariane, thank you so much for inviting.

[Betty Idol] Me and D had to excuse ourselves

because we could tell

that it was about to get kind of catty.

Come on, let's go.

Put on your mittens, kittens,

because it's about to go down.

and I'm gonna get the hell out of here.

Can you sit over there, so I can get some space.

Yeah.

[Ariane] I invited Joseline as a gesture to K. Michelle.

But she rolls in late, she misses my music,

and it's like a fucking dark cloud descends on the party.

I'm totally regretting the fact that I invited her.

I just hope that everyone can behave like adults

and try to be civil.

[Dawn] Why everybody uptight? What's going on?

This was not happening a few minutes ago.

I got Joseline out to come out and support,

but it's like everybody seems tense.

Everybody was perfectly fine.

I'm sure you was fine, right, with your fake ass.

[Mimi] I surely was.

You're a fake-ass bitch.

My fake ass?

[Joseline] You're a fake-ass bitch.

Now you fooling with my--

You-- You don't like when I--

You're a lying fake-ass bitch at that.

Do you like when I take your husband

and give him back to you?

He was never my husband, sweetheart.

Oh, no!

No, no, no, no, no!

[Joseline] Oh, no, give me this drink!

You like that, don't you, bitch?

[overlapping shouting]

You're mad because I took your motherfucking nigga.

And he marry me, bitch! And every time--

And I give him back... Fucking because I married--

You were never married, bitch!

This girl is in Disneyland in her fucking brain!

She still thinks she's married?

But in case you can't hear, or maybe, I don't know,

can't understand fucking English,

let me spell it out for you.

You are not M-A-R-R-I-E-D.

Mar-ried-da!

You're a nothing-ass bitch!

Stupid slut!

Yeah, I got a man!

You don't have shit, bitch.

Mimi, get down! Let's go!

Don't tell me to fucking go!

Fuck that bitch!

She needs to be escorted out.

Then escort that bitch out!

I ain't going nowhere, ho!

-Right, neither am I! -Face me, then, ho!

Right here, bitch!

They can't save you tonight, ho.

I don't need nobody to save me.

I already fuck your ass up once.

Get your fucking whack ass the fuck out of here, bitch!

[overlapping shouting]

Why you mad, bitch?

I wanna whoop your ass, you fake-ass ho!

Stupid-ass slut.

[crying]

[Mimi] I'll be damned if I motherfucking

run away from the bitch.

I am not fucking scared of you.

If I could say one last parting word...

fuck you, bitch.

And you wanna sit and believe this dumb-ass ho

like it's gonna be some fucking reconciliation...

Don't you fucking yell at me.

You fucking know the animosity

that this bitch got!

You know it.

* Can't stop us now *

* Can't stop us now *

* C-Can't stop us now *

[Karlie] Karlie Redd is on top of her game.

My career is popping, my stores are popping,

and I'm launching a new fashion line that, oh, my gosh,

is gonna be so huge.

* Can't stop us now *

* Oh oh, bring it on, bring it on, bring it on *

* Can't stop us now *

[Karlie] After the whole Lyfe debacle,

I started focusing on me and do what makes me happy.

I'm not giving up on love.

But I'm gonna take a break from it.

For now, I'm married to my career and my coins.

And, honestly, there's no better feeling than that.

* Yeah, we are brave *

* Nothing can scare us away *

[Tammy] I never thought things would come to this.

Only God knows how things will work out

between me and my husband.

But right now, me and Waka need to give each other some space,

so me and my beautiful daughter Charlie

are starting a new adventure together.

I don't know if me and Waka are done forever.

I need my space and my time to figure it out.

* Can't stop us now *

* Ca-can't stop us now *

* Can't stop us, ca-ca-ca-ca-can't stop us now *

I've learned to live my life without regret.

I always put other people first,

but now it's time to put me first.

I love interior design. It's my passion.

I really wanna turn this into a full-fledged business.

My relationship with Stevie

has shifted to a new and better place.

And Joseline is finally out of my life for good.

I'm dating and taking things slow.

I'm in a really good place,

and I plan to stay here for a while.

* Can't stop us now, ca-can't stop us now *

[K. Michelle] I've been working so hard

that, whenever I get a free moment,

I just want to spend quality time taking care of me.

I'm not worried about these little girls anymore.

I'm too busy making hit records, touring for my fans,

and establishing myself as an entrepreneur.

I'm a brand ambassador for Jack Daniels,

my hookah bar is opening up soon.

I don't care about any of these girls

because they're not putting any money into my pocket.

Who I need to worry about is me.

Watch me and hate, you little nappy-head bitches.

I'm K. Michelle, and I will forever reign.

* Can't stop us now *

[Momma Dee] The stars are in line today,

and I'm shooting my new music video.

Even my husband Ernest is on set,

watching me do my thing.

Things about to go crazy up in the palace.

Since I'm really forced to open the door and let the Bam in,

I hope that Bambi comes in and takes her rightful place,

as she should, and listen to the queen.

But if she doesn't, I'm gonna need

all the support that I can get!

So I'm gonna stay with Ernest for right now,

because if he get a real job

and up his ante on that bedroom game,

there may be some hope for us.

You know I got that tongue game, ha ha.

* A lonely place, a broken heart *

* Gonna keep on reaching out again *

[Karen] This year has been the hardest,

especially saying goodbye to Scrapp.

My grandson is back in my life right now.

I can honestly say that I thank Tiarra for that.

I'm keeping an eye on Tommie.

Sas has great music. He's doing good work.

But I'm dealing with my own stuff.

I've been randomly charged for some thefts.

All I know now is, once again, I gotta fight

and keep moving for my family.

Ain't nothing gonna keep us down.

Long as we stick together, we'll get through it.

You best believe that.

* So I hold on *

* Oh, oh *

* So I hold on *

Life always has a way of surprising you

when you least expect it.

I been down this road before, so I knew something was up.

And it turns out I was right.

So here I am, pregnant again.

And, honestly, I don't know how I feel about it

or how I'm gonna tell the father.

All I know is that I'm gonna find a way to make things work,

just like I always do.

[vocalizing]

[Joseline] I really don't know what's gonna happen

in my personal life.

But it doesn't matter, because, you know why?

My business life is going sky high.

I am so excited to be in the studio with Young Dro,

making new music.

All I wanna do in my life

is manage my own career and be happy.

Because everything that I been through in my life,

ever since I was a kid, I really deserve this.

[vocalizing]

[Stevie J] It's been a long time

since I was a free man.

I went from Mimi to Joseline,

and not spending a minute with myself.

Joseline is my past.

Now I'm looking forward to my future.

I got my hookah bar, I got my sparkling wine,

I got my music, and I got my kids.

I'm not sure what's next for me, but it's gotta be epic,

because a good guy does everything big.

[vocalizing]

[rapping indistinctly]

[Yung Joc] Hey...

Hey.

Wow.

* Shabba Ranks with it *

* Ahh *

* Ranks with it *

* Shabba Ranks with it *

[Yung Joc] When I say Momma, you say Dee.

-Momma... -Dee!

-Momma... -Dee!

When I say Momma, you say Dee!

-Momma... -Dee!

-Momma... -Dee!

[cheering and applause]
