[Pooh]
I just heard that you
have an engagement party.

And I was wondering why
I wasn't invited.

In the past, when I brought
my relationships around you,

you were so touchy-feely.

But you [bleep] Hiram,
so what's the difference?

You a liar!

Put [bleep]
in my [bleep].

Bitch, I'll beat
the [bleep] outta here.

Put your [bleep]
in my [bleep]

like you did, bitch.

[Momma Dee]
It's my birthday!

[cheers and applause]

But at the same
mother[bleep] time,

what we not gonna do
is stage a coup.

So, stay tuned.

You know, the Bam is
getting ready to deliver.

They're staying with me.

And her mom, CeCe,
she's staying with me, too.

CeCe?
Yeah, CeCe.

[Spice]
What the [bleep] is
wrong with my look.

[Tokyo]
You know I go
through the same thing.

You know how many labels
and [bleep] feel like

I need to lose 100 pounds?

There's always mother[bleep]
who wanna come

and cookie-cutter you.

Hey.
Well, well, well.

How you doing?
I'm doing all right.

Oh!

You sure you're
my sister, man?
Yes.

I thought
your dad was dead,

and it turns out
he was alive.

I got two boys.
They call me Daddy.

I ain't never said that
to nobody.

When exactly did you find out
he was alive and kicking?

So, I didn't tell you.

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

You ain't even
[bleep] sorry at all.

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

[Scrapp]
Ha!

What's up, King King!

Ohh...

[Scrapp]
To be able to hold King,
that was the best feeling.

When I had to tell King
I was going away,

I'll never forget that day.

Daddy got in
a little bit of trouble.

Daddy gotta go somewhere
where the babies can't come.

Daddy, I want...
stay here.

Daddy would love
to stay here with you.

I don't wanna be
nowhere else.

They making Daddy go away.

[Scrapp]
I'll never do that again,

'cause I know what it feel like
not to have Pops around.

And I definitely won't let
my son grow up that way.

Watching my son
grow up behind the glass,

that was the hardest part
about doing time.

God damn, girl!
You look--

Let me see, let me see,
turn around, turn around.

Okay, o-- cut it out,
now you doing too much. Mmm!

[Tiarra]
In the three years
that Scrapp been away,

King went with his aunt
to visit his father regularly.

I personally never visited
Scrapp while he was in prison,

because when he got locked up,
we was at a rough spot.

I'm not 'bout to be running
up and down the road

going to visit you
while you're locked up.

Come on.
This is my sister's
house right here.

What you been doing,
push-ups?
A lot of 'em.

Damn!
A lot of 'em.

Scrapp and I wasn't together
when he first got locked up.

But his absence has only
made my heart grow fonder.

Can I have a hug, man?
I miss you so much.

[kissing noises]
Mm!

You been taking care
of your mommy?
Yes.

Man, you getting
too big for me.

I can sit here?
You can sit there,
you can sit there.

Can I sit on
your sister's couch?

Yeah, my sister's couch.

Are you sure this is
your sister's couch?

You're being a little
condescending.

[Tiarra]
Lord, I hope that this lady

really is one of Scrapp's
family members for real,

because I need all
of his ladies to fall back.

Why haven't I met
this sister before?

'Cause I just met her.

My Pops, I met him
for the first time
in 30 years.

You think I'm lying?

I mean...
You gotta use--
go to the bathroom?

Go to the bathroom,
baby boy.

The bathroom right there.

Uh, right there to--
right there.

So, just seeing everything
that you saw locked up,

that don't make you, like,

wanna be back in the house
with your...

I don't think me and you
can co-habitate immediately
when I come home.

We gotta get a feel
for one another.

I mean, but I--
I can look at you

coming out the shower--
I just wanna look at you.

[Tiarra]
Scrapp is like
halfway home right now,

and I'm excited
because I miss him.

He's a good father
and he's a good man deep down.

I wanna, like,
keep smiling.

So, you should have
a welcome home party.

All right, now,
I know you like

to do parties at the Flame
and all that,

but we can't do
none of that.

It's a limited thing.
Why?

My mom house,
my sister house,

only places I can be at.

House party.

Yep, it's going down.
Come on.

This party Tiarra throwing me,
it can't be no wild rendezvous

where she keep trying
to push up on me.

The concept of me and her,

I really ain't feeling
right now.

She's kinda crazy.

Actually,
she's a lot of crazy.

And the only "together" we got
right now is co-parents.

Welcome home, Scrapp!

I don't-- I don't
drink no more.

Well, I have something
you could drink.

[Shekinah]
This is a lot of lifting.
I'll got to the back.

I heard you used
to get it from the back.

Baby, I'm getting ready
to throw me a party

to celebrate the collaboration
of me and the Crayon Case.

Man, I'm coming out
with my own collection

called Tokiana.

What's next?
Um...

My cosmetic collection is
a total representation of me.

It's so fun and colorful,

and I'm just--
I'm so excited.

I like this!

The golden
highlight, bitch.

I need some highlights.
Highlight me, baby.

I like it when they
put it on my titties.

It make me feel like
my titties got bigger.

Oh, well you can!

You know what I'm saying?

Hey!
Hey!

Thank you so much for coming
to DJ at my party.
What's up, girl?

Of course, thank you
so much for having me.

Girl, you know I had
to have you come through

and do this [bleep]
for real.

Yes.
So, you ready
to go hard?

You know, I wore
the perfect pants.

Yes.
Yes, you did.

I remember when
I first came to Atlanta,
you was spinning my [bleep].

So you know, I had to get
you to come back to work
and bless me.

That's right,
the Mack is back.

And I've definitely changed
since the last time you saw me.

Excuse me?

Can I meet you
for a second?

Listen, I don't
talk to the help.

[screaming]

But I grew up,
I ditched the braces,

and I'm a mom now.

And you're also looking
at the hottest

up-and-coming DJ in the "A."

But anyway,
who coming to the party?

Me, and some other
people, Sierra.

No Karlie
or nothing, right?

Why do you put it
out there like that?

I haven't heard from
Karlie in, like, years.

Back in the day, me
and Karlie, we were friends.

We hosted parties together,
we flew out of town together.

And then she went
silent on me,

and it made me feel like
all these years

our friendship
was for nothing.

She was just
a social-climbing-ass bitch.

You need to let that
Karlie [bleep] go, boo.

You got a whole baby
and a dude.

Look how good you look
after a baby.

Yeah, trying.

How you lose the weight?

I wanna know
what you know.

I wanna know
what you doing.
What you did?

You had a rib removed,
didn't it?

No.
'Cause they say
they doing it now.

I'm thinking about
getting mine removed.
I'm scared of that.

For real, I might need
to get, like, four removed.

No, no, I got--

no, you ain't gotta get
no ribs removed.

You just gotta eat
your vegetables.

I love to eat.

I like food better
than I like [bleep].

You could say,
"You wanna [bleep]

or do you want a steak?"
I want the steak.

So, you wanna lose weight
because of your health?

I wanna lose weight
because of my health.

I'm 4'11",
there's no way in hell

I'm supposed to be
like 190 pounds.

I don't have
high blood pressure,

high cholesterol,
diabetes, nothing.

So, like, I kinda wanna
beat it to the punch.

So look, are y'all
gonna come to the gym?

Yeah.
Yeah, we got to, baby,
'cause this neck gotta go.

No [bleep].
[laughter]

But look, we ain't
got that much time.

I got to go.
All right.

I'll see y'all

Ain't nobody ask me
how I was feeling,

how my foot feeling,

Okay, I'm so sorry.
How's your foot?

My foot is healing

That's because
your mother-in-law

is always soaking it

and making sure
that it's okay

when your mama
ain't nowhere around.

What?
What?

[Scrappy]
Man, I'm so proud
of Ma Dukes right now

by the way she treating
CeCe and all.

I know
it was a big-ass compromise
giving up her whole house,

letting everybody
stay there and stuff.

I think Ma Dukes

What the hell
are you doing here?

I made it.
Congratulations.

I've known Tokyo Vanity

We linked up

Hello!
Nice to meet you.

This is

Who?
AB, AD, or...

We're not together.
That's crazy.

It's no secret
that things between

my ex-girlfriend and I
were rocky.

We're not even good

What is it feels
like to me

is that you don't
want to be here.

You can't face the [bleep].
No, I'm fine.

No, that's you,

Let's talk.
Let's talk about this.

Listen,
I'm in-between places.

My life is goddamn
in the shambles.

I'm trying to get

Bitch, there's
a lot going on with me.

Please, please, get out.
That's what
I'm gonna focus on.

My career and getting
my son as my first thought.

Please-- So Dorribian

No, he's not with me yet,

but that's why I'm trying
to get this paper up.

[Akbar]
I have five
beautiful children,

and they all are living
with different relatives

till I figure out
how the hell I'm gonna
provide for them.

So I'm taking baby steps
to get my oldest son first.

I'm so happy that
his grandma came along

and helped me with him,
but even at the age
of 12 years old,

he is learning trying to be
an unruly kid,

and I will not let
my son go down the same
path that I did.

I just gotta get me
some money real fast,

you know, to get my baby,
and, like, I don't care,

what I gotta do.

You know

Well, you know, I'm here.

Ahh, little booty!

Mmm. How you doing?

[Scrapp]
In the past year
since I've been incarcerated,

Moniece has been
a good friend of mine.

Whenever I picked up
that phone to call her,
she always answered.

The crazy thing is
my moms introduced us.

They met
at an industry event,

and that's when Mom
started playing cupid.

Mwah!

Ow! My boobs!
Your boobs? My bad.

When Scrapp and I were
introduced by K.K. via phone,

it didn't feel like set up.

Like, "I want you to be
with my son."

And it wasn't until
the relationship

with my ex-girlfriend
was dead

that I even
entertained the idea

of having something more
than a friendship with Scrapp.

Ain't you glad we ain't
gotta FaceTime no more?

It's just like--
You can like--

I'm touching you, like,
you know what I'm saying?

And it's all tangible
and all that.

I want it to be like
all the time now.
All the time?

[Scrapp]
What's interesting about me
and Moniece's relationship

is that we can sit
on the phone for hours.

There's some type of bond,
and it shows that

there's some type
of interest there.

I'm almost finished.
It's almost over with.

Like, really, really soon.
How soon?

Couple weeks or something
like that, like--

A couple weeks?

I just found out
the other day

parole is on the table
for me.

But it's only a hearing.

Even the potential
of freedom is exciting.

You'll be here
for a little while, right?

Yeah, and I'll be
back and forth.

Okay, now-- now that's
the part we need to get to.

Back and forth how often?

Back and forth
as often as...

As?
...the producers that
I'm working with here

need me here.

In a healthy marriage--
I don't think I might
wanna say that, but...

In a healthy marriage,
in a healthy union.

I like the way that sounds.
Work doesn't come first.

No, okay, well,
I'm willing to continue

to put in the effort,
the time to continue
to come down here.

But you've got the kid.
You've got baby mama.

And my co-parenting is
actually going pretty good.

What happens when
they find out about me?

I also understand
that the only reason

you would get grief
about me is if

baby mama fell
in love with you.

Just wanna drop that
little dime in the bucket.

Okay.
'Cause I am a woman.

I can't help how other
women feel about me, though.

Just like you can't help it.
You understand?

One, I'm not chasing
after Tiarra.

I don't care if she
throwing herself at me.

And second, me and Mo
don't even know

The last thing I need
is Moniece to be feeling

The fact of the matter is

my music career is still
on the climb.

And who the hell know

when I'ma sign me
a major deal, baby?

But my son could not
wait that long,

so I had to reach out to a very,
very important person.

Hey, girl.

What up?

How are you doing?

This very important person
is my cousin.

You might know her
as Kandi from Xscape.

Her mom would pick me up
when we was kids

and I'd get away from the hood.

But as I got older
and get shot in my head,

Kandi has been on my ass
about my kids,

about my career,
and she's not letting up, baby.

I call her the other day

and she agreed to loan me
enough money

to secure apartment
in a nice, safer town.

What's been up?
[sighs]Life.

Oh, Lord.

So what do you got
going on?

I'm about to go
back on tour with Xscape,

with So So Def tour.

I always said that like

you was the reason that
I did music.

You probably don't
remember that.

I remember a long time ago

you was all coming off
your tour,

and I was trying to sing,
you like, "Nah, you can't sing."

I said that?

I will never forget it.
I was a little girl.

And after that,
I was just like...

I can't sing a lick,
but I can rap my ass off.

So that's a good thing.
So that works.

So what's been up?

I was in the hood all day.
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.Making moves,

but doing the same [bleep].

to be a better person,

for real.

Yes, I'm tired of
beating bitches up.

Oh, my God!

See, that's why
we gotta stop

with beating bitches up.

They be trying me.

Even at home
with family,

you'd be trying
to fight.

Everything I learned,
the streets taught me.

So when I rap and when
I talk about the [bleep]

that I've been through,
it's real.

Like I didn't want--
you know,

to be this person,
just having kids

and going through [bleep]
that I went through.

You know what I mean?
Clearly.

For the longest time,
people used to always

be like, "Why you don't
help your cousin?

Why you don't help
your cousin?"

And I always felt like
well, if she really want this,

she need to show
that she want it.

And I feel personally
like you've been showing

that you want it.Exactly.

I'm trying to be
a better person,

a better mother,
a better friend.

Like I wanna be better.

It's not like I just
wanna be stuck

in this bull[bleep]
forever.

Right.
And I really appreciate you.

Ah, so...

I wanna see you win.

I already know.

Ever since I was a kid,
I've been on my own

and always depended
on myself.

So, to have someone
to ride for me

like my big cousin Kandi,
means everything to me,

for just always sticking with me
through the hardest times

and giving me
that apartment money

for my kids and me.
