[woman] Previously on "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta"...

Let me just get to it. There's a man sitting inside my car.

He spots me, ducks down, shuts the car door,

takes a few steps, turns around, and shoots at me.

[bleep]. You for real?

Did you talk to Stevie about it? He was mad.

Like, "Why the [bleep] you ain't call me?"

[Stevie] So I wanted to ask you a question.

What if you moved to L.A.?

Gotta ask my mama. The person who took care of me?

[Mimi] How was your dinner?

Daddy wants me to move to L.A., and I met his wife.

[sighs]

[Karen] You know, Scrapp is going to the halfway house.

And I can't go get him.

I got a plan, and he coming out soon,

and we gon' roll with that.

I thought your dad was dead 'cause that was the word that was in the street.

How you feel about, you know, finally meeting him?

When you want questions answered,

you gotta go to the source.

Hi, guys.

Hey, ladies.

You're joking, right? No, for real?

It's the same thing as gettin' your breasts done!

No, it's not the same thing. It is the same thing! It's adjustment!

So bleaching your skin is an adjustment?

Time to go. [bleep]!

[bleep] you! Bye, bitch! [bleep] you too!

I need you guys to stand up and give a big hand-clapping

to Rasheeda and Kirk for coming out today.

[cheering and applause]

Thank you!

I know y'all done stayed down with each other

and built brands after brands after brands.

It take a lot. Oh, yeah.

You know, even stress in the media.

So I totally understand. I know y'all been down for each other.

But honestly, like, would you do it again?

Hell, no. Let met tell you what's the worst thing.

Being the person who openly put this out to the world.

I've been getting a whole bunch of angry women

mad at me for some [bleep] that happened in my relationship.

Y'all don't know what we do 24/7.

But, Kirk, you did some [bleep] that hurt.

[Kirk] It hurts, and, you know, it's [bleep] up,

and it wasn't right,

and, you know, I gotta be a man

and take accountability for it.

[Rasheeda] Shekinah, she's a friend of mine

from back in the day, but you probably know her

from being on the show with my girl Tiny.

[siren whoops] [Tiny] You got something, girl.

[Shekinah] You got your God damn seatbelt on?

Yeah. Do you know how fast you were going down the road there?

25. No, you were doing 37.

No, I wasn't.

Roll the window down, crazy.

Show him your ass.

You gotta give Kirk props for staying down behind his woman.

He let Rasheeda shine above him,

and that's deep, too.

You know, I know Kirk love you,

and I'm happy to God that y'all worked it out

and got y'all things back together.

But how did you deal with all this [bleep]

and still keep your movement going?

I felt like, you know what?

This is the part of life that you don't like,

but it's reality, so deal with it.

Woman the [bleep] up and stay focused.

Well, it's been real. Yes, ma'am.

Thank y'all so much for coming out.

We're "Real Talk With Rasheeda and Kirk."

Mm-mm! Love, marriage.

You did. See y'all later.

[Mimi] Between Spice's "white nightmare" photo shoot

and Stevie's lame-ass co-parenting tactics,

I have a lot to deal with right now.

But I'm putting all that on hold,

because today is about Rasheeda

and the boss moves she's making with Kirk.

Ooh, the hot seat!

Right, they was frying me, right? [Rasheeda] Baby you did that.

[Shekinah] I can see why she stayed down with her husband,

and I can see why he stayed down with his wife.

Because there's another level in the world.

I'm gonna run to the bathroom real quick.

Well, go on and go. We can have this woman talk without you.

I'll be back.

[Karlie] Hey, congratulations on 19 years of marriage.

Yea, okay, so we are-- This is just something small.

We ain't even planning nothing big.

We're just gonna have a nice family dinner

with all the kids, and Kirk is...

Allthe kids?

Kirk is gonna have Kannon come over

'cause I haven't met him yet.

[Rasheeda] Kirk having a baby

outside this marriage is probably one of

the hardest things I've ever had to deal with.

The rest of the family's already met Kannon.

This is a step that we need to take

to kind of put all these things behind us.

It's a whole cycle. Yes.

Because it's, like, you gotta...

Accept. You gotta accept.

Understand. Understand, keep moving.

You know, keep pushing. And be nice.

And all that-- But when it comes to a child, how can you not be?

On another note, let me tell you what this man had the nerve to do

in true Stevie J fashion. Oh, Lord.

Stevie just got married.

Don't say [bleep] to nobody.

Up and moves to California.

Was gone for a couple of months,

comes back in town, goes to Eva's school,

picks her up, decides to take her to dinner

with Faith before I even get to meet the mother[bleep].

Oh, hell! Oh, no.

He like, "I'm her daddy. I can do what I wanna do."

Yeah, but damn, talk to his mama. "You've got to [bleep] call me."

Pimpin' is not dead.

[Mimi] Girl! Shekinah, I'm done!

You stupid!

thanks to my sister with a clean record.

But today is the day I meet my pops,

Nice time for you to join us.

Thank you, man, you know.

That's, uh...

I'm just-- I be--

I be trying to say stuff.

What you be trying to say?

'Cause I had a stroke, that's the only thing.

And you hadn't talked to her before

these past couple months?

No, I told you, I can't talk as...

I understand that part.

If I could talk, I would tell you exactly.

You talk good to me when I talk to you on the phone.

Well, yeah, yeah, just a little bit.

I can write it down for you.

I know how to read real good.

That's good.

Me, I didn't-- You know, I didn't know.

What you didn't know?

Sh-She didn't never say nothing.

I didn't say what?

Uh, I didn't know where you was at.

Don't nobody know nothing, can't nobody say nothing.

I really ain't got nothing to talk about.

[Scrapp] I don't really know what to say to this man

other than, "You weren't there for me growing up."

At first, I wanted to hear what he had to say for himself,

but I ain't even trying to hear that [bleep] now.

I'm not buying that [bleep], man.

I don't wanna hear about no stroke.

I don't wanna hear about no coma.

I don't wanna hear about none of that.

That's a whole 15, 20 years later.

What about up until then?

As Muslim, we gotta forgive.

You can't hold no grudge on that man for why he ain't been here.

At least he stood for it now

and came and got you up out of there.

Couldn't nobody else do it.

You know, she reached out to him and he came through.

That's the crazy part. Just reaching out to him out the blue?

[bleep].

It sounds like it's more to the story and it just ain't--

It ain't coming out.

I feel like, brah, don't let him leave again

before you get an answer you wanna hear.

All right, let's go.

[Karen] I done seen Peaches or Cheyenne

visiting you in jail. [Big Will] Yeah.

So you were making contact to see your daughter.

What about your son? You feel me? Yeah.

We gonna have to talk about it later.

You had your daddy growing up?

Un-uh.

So you know how I feel. Yeah.

You know what it's like to have to be pops to your little brother?

[Big Will] Yeah, mm-hmm.

Yeah.

I got two boys. They call me "Daddy."

I ain't never said that to nobody.

Well, I can-- I can try. You know what I'm saying?

I can try.

You know I love you, man.

You love me? Yeah... yeah.

Why?

Man, I just love you, period.

[Scrapp] How can he love me?

He didn't try to get me when my mom got locked up.

He ain't wrote me, sent me a postcard or none of that.

My mom bought me shoes when she was in prison.

My mom sent me letters when she was in prison.

That's more than he did. She loved me.

I appreciate you reaching out to my mom

and introducing me to Cheyenne,

'cause I got a sister

coming to get me out of the center and all that.

And... Right.

Where we go from here is wherever we go.

I'm Scrapp.

Nobody calls me "Will," though, all right?

All right, yeah. yeah, all right.

Nice to meet you. Thank you, all right.

[woman] Coming up...

[Karlie]What?!

Can't even surprise you if you come running downstairs.

Good morning. Good morning!

Mmm!

[Spice] I have a great idea.

You know, changing my complexion.

I don't think it's a good idea.

Me gonna do it regardless.

I really can't wait to see Eva

come to L.A. and meet everybody.

Hopefully her mom will come to, and--

♪♪

[Karlie]What?

Can't even surprise you if you come running downstairs.

Good morning. Good morning!

[Karlie] It's been such a long time since I had a real man.

My man is reliable, he's good in the bed,

and good in the kitchen.

Who would've thought I would've found all that

and more in my fiancé, Arkansas Mo.

Look at you. You is really... sweating and everything.

You were slaving in the kitchen.

It's hot in the kitchen, right, hot.

You sweated for me last night,

so I can sweat for you this morning.

I've had a couple of posers give me some non-proposals.

If there was any doubts, I wouldn't have did that.

Are you ready?

Let me just say it like this.

Me and Maurice met at a club.

What's even crazier is Joc's manager introduced us.

But Mo is different from these industry guys that I've been dealing with.

He's a self-made man with his own company

who loves my daughter, and I know he loves me.

That's why I love you. You're so, like, just different.

Different how? Like, there's no hidden agendas.

Look, you got my initials tattooed on your finger.

You got your-- What you call it?

Your lockbox. I got my lockbox.

Right, right. [chuckling]

But, um, I'm excited about planning the wedding.

We got a lot of stuff to do.

As far as business, okay, your slow season is my busy--

You know, vice versa, so--Right.

Okay, so you're right, damn.

We got to really plan this to the tee.

[Karlie] We have so much to do.

Not just for the wedding,

but for our engagement party.

It's just hard

with all my friends' drama just sucking me in.

You know how I'm close with Spice.

Spice cool.Yeah.

She one of the few people I can say she genuine.

Well, true to herself,

Spice feels like she's been through a lot

as far as like being a dark-skinned female.

She is planning on bleaching her skin.

She wanna do this to spite people.

She's like, "There are people like, 'Oh, you too dark-skinned.

If you was light-skinned you would look better.'"

But does she understand that we've been programmed that way?

You know, the straight hair, to be against the ones with nappy hair.

You know, that's just something we deal with in our culture.

She needs to take that message.

Just be an African-American, period.Period.

I'm gonna talk to her about it.

Thank you, baby.

I love our morning talks!

Yeah.

I love you.Mmm...

♪ 'Cause I was told I would reach further ♪

♪ If the color of my skin was lighter ♪

♪ And I was made to feel inferior ♪

♪ 'Cause society say brown girls prettier ♪

♪ Me love the way I'ma look ♪

♪ I love my pretty black skin ♪

♪ I'ma bun racism, demolish colorism ♪

With my career now taking off here in the states,

I'm dealing with Von telling me

that I need to push it to another level.

I knew that I need to push my colorism issue.

After the reaction I'ma get from Mimi and the other girls,

I know now that they will never understand

what I'm going through.

♪ Dis a black colorism, big hypocrisy ♪

All right, may I come 'round?

I wrote a song about this issue.

It's called "Black Hypocrisy."

I'ma invite my real Jamaican friends then

just to hear what they have to say.

The truth is there's a completely different opinion

about skin bleaching in Jamaica back home

then what it is here in America.

What ya think?

What gave you that inspiration to sing this?

Um, that what the tune about.

That's why I invited you to the studio,

so we could talk.

So the song me work on is called "Black Hypocrisy."

And the reason why I'm use that name

is because I feel like most black people, they're hypocrites.

Because it's like you would be a dark-skinned girl,

they're not supportin' 'cause your dark-skin.

But then when the girl then start bleach now,

then start bashing them and say,

"Oh, she a bleacher," and this and that.

So last night, I had a great idea.

In a matter to visualize the image in America more it,

I know that the world is gonna be shocked.

Me go all the way with it.

You know, changing my complexion

to prove my point.

Wow, that's deep.

Do you think about your fans? How they're gonna care about it?

You have some people who will just jump ship and talk [bleep].

In Jamaica, you know.... Our culture fight against us.

Our culture different. We don't hide it. It's more acceptable.

People would come out and talk and say,

"Yeah, me a bleacher." You know?

Them talk about it more.

But now I'm in America... Yeah.

They don't openly accept. Say-- Them say no, they never bleach.

So it's like a cultural difference.

It's definitely more acceptable.

[Spice] Me is a dark-skinned girl from Jamaica.

Most people from my own community,

they've been degrading me because of the color of my skin for years.

So right now, me gonna do something drastic

to show the world I make a choice about them faces.

You know me's Team Spice all the way, but...

I don't think it's a good idea.

'Cause at the end of the day,

your talent is what made you, Spice,

not the color of your skin.

So if you feel like--

No doubt about that, but just think about

all the risk, that's all I'm asking.

Me already make up my mind,

so me gonna do it regardless.

[Stevie] I know Mimi probably a little salty

I got married, but that doesn't give Mimi a right

not to tell me what's going on with my daughter.

Especially when there's burglars and guns

I still haven't met her. So when you wanna meet her?

Am I supposed to send her a [bleep] smoke signal,

or would you like to hook that up? I think I can hook it up.

I got married, and I put a ring

on Faith's finger and not hers.

But... enough about me.

Okay. Whatever, man.

So what's going on with you?

Girl, let me catch you up on this--

this some [bleep].

Pooh had a sleepover. She had a slumber party.

Interesting.

But it was nice, though, girl.

She had food, she had drinks, it--

You know, we just had a great time.

Mm.But...

she was talking about...Mm-hmm.

how you didn't invite her to your her-- your engagement party.

So I'm like, "Have you spoke to Karlie about this?"

Mm.

Oh, my God, what's going on?

Pooh and I were friends because she was a wife.

Mm-hmm.

And I knew that someday,

I wanna be a wife, too,

and I wanna have friends that are married.

Yeah. But as the relationship grew...

Mm-hmm. I saw, "Wait a minute. Hold up, hold up.

You a married woman, and you're acting single."

Mm-mm.

This is not the type of life I wanna live.

[Karlie] It's true, Pooh and I do have history,

and we were good friends for a little while.

Then I saw what type of opportunist she is.

I said, "Oh, no." I had to cut ties.

While you saying all of this, like, I'm just thinking,

she was in Cancun for my birthday.

BK and all of us, we had a great time.

When we was down there, she was like...

talking to other guys and leaving with 'em,

and doing all type of craziness.

Now that you saying what you saying,

I'm just like, mm...

You are a whole married woman.

She is.

And then I found out that Pooh put in the blogs

that I slept with her-- her husband.

Which I never did.

Release some information on the blogs?

Like, that's some weak-ass [bleep].

I don't... respect that at all.

Back in the day, I seen the blogs

with Karlie supposedly getting with Pooh and her husband.

So it's really not nothing new to me.

But I never thought it was Pooh that leaked that stuff.

I met Pooh through Karlie,

and what I'm hearing from Karlie is foul.

You my friend. You know I love you so much.

You got your little ways,

and you have your feelings about people,

then your ass make up with 'em...Oh, no.

[Sas] Whatcha have burning?

I'm cooking these cookies 'cause you always

talk about you, "I want some."

[Scrapp] I always wanted to meet my pops,

but seeing him in person

and not getting no real reason as to why he wasn't in my life,

it really ain't adding up.

I know Big Will had a stroke,

so my mom should be able to clear things up.

You talk to, um... Will?

Um, I've talked to him since the last meeting,

and he's not at his full capability,

and it bothers him that he can't relate to you

really how he feels.

I wonder what the story would have been like

when he could talk.

So when you went away,

and he went away,

he didn't try to reach out to you, not one time?

I know y'all got a lot to talk about.

Why you wanna leave so soon? Have a seat.

Everybody runs out.

I heard he was dead.

When you was 10 years old. You said, "Where my dad at?

Why I don't know my dad?"

So who told me he was dead? Who--

Why stay where you're not needed?

Who told you he was dead?

No, it just was a rumor in the street.

[Scrapp] Word on the street was my pops was dead.

And there's a lot of parts in this story

that ain't adding up

that my moms is telling me about Big Will.

I told Will, I met him, I say, "You know what?

I wanna get married. I wanna have a baby."

He said, "Okay."

So y'all was together?

We was together.

But one day I came home,

and there was a female in my house.

And I got zero tolerance for the bull[bleep].

What happened after that?

I went and got me another place away from him.

I didn't even tell him.

But unfortunately, the people from court called me.

They handcuffed me. I was holding you like this.

The man said 18 months.

I went to prison, I got out, I didn't see him no more.

Seven, six years later,

somebody tell me he was dead.

Yes, I did know that Big Will was alive

three years ago.

But he served no purpose until now.

You being able to get out from the halfway house, that's all that matter.

When exactly did you find out...

he was alive and kicking?

I found out while you were in prison.

I just started Googling his name.

I found out the details.

[Scrapp] I grew up without a father,

so I needed a male figure there

to teach me how to be a man in general.

But finding out Pops was alive all this time,

right when we needed him,

it made me wonder if Moms ain't really care

if Pops was in my life or not.

I don't think it was your decision

to choose when to tell me.

I didn't think it was in the best interests of you

while you're doing a [bleep] 20-year sentence--

That was up to you to make that decision?

Yeah! 'Cause I've gotta make some decisions.

So I didn't tell you.

Okay, I'm sorry! What the [bleep]?

What the [bleep] do you want? You need to [bleep] tell me, though.

I just did the [bleep] best I could [bleep] do.

[Kirk] Happy Anniversary.

[Rasheeda] Whaaat?

Can you believe I done put up with yo' ass?

I...

19 years married, let's say that.

Yeah.

I'm not gonna say that these last 19 years

of marriage have been easy,

but I'm standing here, so that's saying a lot.

But this celebration should be about family,

and even though it's been hard, I'm ready to accept Kannon

as a part of my family.

We need two extra plates, 'cause we have...

a extra little one coming.

[Kirk] There they go... [Rasheeda] Uh-oh.

Yo...

[Kelsey] Hey, guys. [Rasheeda] Hi!

Hey, sissy.

How are you? Hi, little person.

[Kirk] What's up, bad man?

Look he just gone. Grab him, Kelsey. Come here.

[Kelsey] Come take your shoes off. [shouts indistinctly]

[Kirk] Come here. Hmm.

Take your shoes off.

[Kannon squealing] Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

[indistinct chatter]

[Kirk] Come meet She-ma.

Hi! You got a phone? Say what's up?

Kannon, say hello.

Hi!

Stop it!

You stop it!

[Rasheeda] I ain't gonna lie.

I was sort of dreading this day.

Because, you know, it represents

a situation that was just so devastating to my life.

And I definitely see some adjustments

that need to be made.

Has he got on drawers, or he got a Pamper on?

[Kelsey] He got pull-ups.

He got pull-ups?

[Kannon shouting indistinctly]

Excuse me, are you yelling at me?

Are you yelling at me?

[Kirk] Step back...

Did you see I was looking at your butt?

[laughter]

You ain't want me to see that pull-up you don't need to have on there, too.

Yeah, but he needs to be potty-trained and, you know.

[Rasheeda] He should be wearing drawers.

This is my first time meeting Kannon,

and yes, it is a bit of an eye-opener.

Yeah, he is in his terrible twos.

But I ain't gonna lie, if he was being raised in my household,

ain't no pull-ups at two.

How does the whole communication even go?

I mean, he's always with his-- his grandma.

Kelsey and them communicate,

and looking on the Gram, it's party, party, party.

And my whole thing is always be saying, it's like,

"But what are you doing with the bread?"

You at least wanna be communicating and figuring out

if he's getting everything he needs, is everything good.

I'm more concerned about his well-being.

Right, right, of course. You know, making sure

if I can work something out and talk to them...

Well, that's what's important. All the rest of this [bleep] is bull[bleep].

[Kirk] A lot of guys might be good

with just paying their child support money,

but that's not good enough for me.

Because of my relationship with Kannon's mom,

I don't really be around her like that.

I really just wanna make sure Kannon's good

when he's in his mom's care.

And the only way to do that is to talk to her ma

and her grandma, the people who really taking care of Kannon.

I don't wanna worry you about that on this great day.

It is our anniversary. I don't want your mind to be on that so hard.

You can't resist the little cute little-- little cutiepie.

But he gonna have to get used to how She-ma run things around here.

You understand? I know.

[Kirk] It's okay, you gonna get another one.

We got more.

[Kannon shouting indistinctly]

[Kirk] No.

Terror.

Wow.

Well, you make me better in a lot of ways.

Well...

You know, I do my thing.

You know what I'm saying?

[Stevie J] Faith is right.

I need to communicate better with those around me.

I should have introduced Faith to Mimi

before even taking Eva out.

But I'm here doing it now,

and I'm so glad I got Faith as my copilot.

Eva come to L.A. and meet everybody.

Hello.

Hi, how are you?

I'm good. How are you? Hello, Oluremi.

I'm good.

[Mimi] This guy, Steven Jordan,

has the balls to breeze into town

after getting married without a word,

moving to L.A., and then you want to suggest

that I and Eva should pick up and move to L.A.

to be closer to you?

I just wanna get right to it.

I thought...

we were going to tell Eva together

that you were married.

You said, "I'mpicking Eva up from school." Does it matter?

Yes the [bleep] it matters.

"Black moms matter."

Yeah, you mother[bleep] right we do.

[Stevie] I was excited about the moment,

just being with Fay and her meeting Eva.

I just...

You forgot all about Eva's mother. I would never--

Just so you know, I did-- I wasn't aware of that.

I'm sure you weren't. I didn't know that you didn't know...

I'm sure you weren't because-- because listen--

So, what's everybody gonna hold this against me now?

Becau-- shh! [Faith]My God.

What do you want from me? That's all I wanna know.

I want you to be [bleep] consistent,

and I want you to do what you say you're gonna do

when you say you're gonna do it.

I'll do it.

Oh, now you're gonna do it.

[Stevie J] I'll do it. What-- What--

Is it a magical [bleep] unicorn in the building?

[Stevie J] Yeah.

Why you shaking your head?

Only because, even if I need X, Y, or Z,

and you'll say, "I'm gonna do it,"

and I'll think about it an hour later, like,

"Hey, didn't you say you was--"

And it's like, it's just kind of...

It's like I know it needs to be...

'Cause she wants to see him, too.

She does. And that has to be disappointing.

She thinks this man is the best thing since sliced bread.

Let's be clear. I am.

I appreciate you, but...

I think I can handle it now.

You think you can handle it, or you can handle it?

He will handle it. Don't think-- Thank you!

That's what I wanted to hear. He has no choice.

[Stevie J] I thought faith was gonna

join me in the ring for this match.

But instead, she's playing tag team with Mimi.

I didn't know this was gonna be

the gang up on The Good Guy fight.

[Mimi] You have to communicate,

'cause the other day, you asked Eva...

did they wanna move to L.A. and live with you?

Eva's a very young child. You got to be very mindful.

At the end of the day,

it don't seem like y'all safe right there.

I'm trying to come to an agreement with all of us,

not just to leave you out of it--

You telling me to uproot everything the [bleep] that I'm doing

to move to L.A.-- it's [bleep] crazy.

Consistency is-- is-- is here now, right, Mrs. Jordan?

Well, but you have to start somewhere.

You just have to maybe say, "I'm gonna make sure I do come out here,

um, two, however many times a month."

I know my faults. Y'all don't have to rub it in.

Yeah, I know from you, and I know from you.

I'm not rubbing anything. No, no, no, no... You're both in cahoots.

You just mad because we're bringing this to the forefront.

Then let's just say I'm here to make it right. It's valid, I'm sure.

Let's just say I'm here to make it right, God damn it,

so what the [bleep] are we doing?

But don't get-- you can't get all frustrated just because--

I'm not frustrated, I said, "What the [bleep] we gonna do?"

[laughing] You defensive. So let's just...

Let's count to ten and try it again.

[Mimi] Let's breathe.Okay?

[Mimi] I think, moving forward,

this will be a good co-parenting situation,

because Faith seems to keep this man on his toes,

Ooh, you got a nice store.

I was wondering where my friend been.

I haven't heard from you in a while.

Girl, I opened the store three years ago,

and you've never, not one time, been at my store.

Yes, I have, Karlie!

The only time you came was the first time, for the paparazzi.

Okay, Karlie, I just came to check on you
