"Love & Hip Hop Atlanta"...

- We're going to
tap into your PTSD.

Who died that was
really, really

important to you, Renni?

- My mom.

- So do you think she
proud of you right now?

- She would probably be telling
me get my [bleep] together.

- Exactly.

- That Shannon Sharpe
interview,

they took the one thing I said

when I put my
mom up for collateral,

they just took
it the wrong way.

Just put us back in
a horrible place.

- It really hurts
me to hear that you

had to put up your mother.

- We're talking over
20-something years ago.

Stop worrying about the past.

- I just been having
so much going on.

My grandmother,
she's in the hospital.

My grandma raised me,
so it's just

like I'm just like an
emotional wreck right now.

- But let me introduce y'all
to my man, Kai.

- Oh.
- Ooh!

- Karlie, she's with her
little new boo thing.

- He's the president of 1501.

- Oh, that's the people
that Erica with.

- And me and her got
a song together, too.

with my baby, Erica Banks.

I'm a hopeless romantic, like
the hood version of romantic.

So I got a little fruit.

I got a little wine.

A little, a little that,
a little razzle-dazzle

to show her I appreciate her.

Hey.
- Hey.

- Oh.

- You're so crazy.

- Don't get this on your face.

- What's that?

- So I be having
acne sometimes,

so this is an acne solution.

- OK, it look like toothpaste.

- There's something
in toothpaste

that sucks the bump up
out of your face,

and I learned that
when I was locked up.

Y'all should try it.

Look at my skin.
Look at my face.

Look at me glow.
[bell dings]

- This is cute.
This is so cute.

- Yeah, I made this myself.

Get that one right there.
Get that one right there.

- This one here?
- Yeah, try that.

- This one too
big for my mouth.

- Ooh.
Ooh.

[laughs]
- We can try it.

- Yeah, try.
Let's try.

Let's see.

Come on.

- Oh, you got it
all in your mouth.

- Mm.
[laughs]

- Yeah, that mouth is special.

- You're an idiot.
Stop.

- God damn, I'm getting horny.

Mm-mm-mm-mm.

It's just making me
wanna be the fruit.

- What are we cheers-ing to?

- [sighs] Love.
- What kind of love?

- Unconditional love.

- Don't just throw around
the love word and act like--

- No, listen, I'm not
throwing it around.

Let me tell you something.

I done been out here to-and-fro

with every [bleep] and every
ho--

- So when are you
gonna be done?

- And I don't wanna
be like that no more.

- When are you gonna be done?
- I'm done right now.

That's what this
whole little setup

and come through
and kick it and

sip-sip and dip-dip was for.

- Me and Khaotic
been good lately.

He hasn't done anything
to make me doubt him,

but I'm not stupid.

I know his reputation,

so I just need
to keep my eyes open.

- No, you said I was
the main video girl.

- You are the main video girl--
- OK, I just--

- Just as well as you
are the main video girl.

Renni just made me forget
about Erica and Amy.

She look like a glazed
Krispy Kreme doughnut.

- But I know he ain't
going to find nobody better

than Miss Banks,
so he needs to stick to silk

and not polyester.

Either way, Karlie Redd
is having her grand opening

of her restaurant.
- Karlie Redd?

- Yeah.

Me and Karlie met
sometime last year.

She had hit me up, saying
she wanted to do a song,

so I'm actually going
to pull up on her

at her restaurant opening.

You know,
real women support real women.

She having her grand opening,
and I want you to come.

It's next week.
- I heard about it.

I'm booked that day.
- You lying.

- Why would I lie to you?

I told you, I ain't
got no reason to lie.

- No, no, no,
there's something I want

to talk to you about because I
just feel like when I ask you

about who is this bitch
or what's this situation?

You just don't give me,
like, a direct answer.

- I ain't never lied.
I don't lie.

I don't even know
how to spell lie.

Erica is the only woman
that these eyes can see.

When I see other women,
my vision goes out.

So in order for
this relationship

to have longevity, Erica is
going to have to trust me.

I'm all yours, baby,
and you can get it

whenever you want it.

- OK, well,
when we gonna start?

Tomorrow?

I mean, you got the
damn money robe on.

God damn,
you wearing a dollar bill.

- You know,
I got the money in here.

- I'm just saying.

Speaking of dollar bills,

my label owe me
some dollar bills.

- How are we gonna
get that back?

- Well--[laughs]
That's the thing,

so right now we're
trying to work it out

because when I drop the
snippets of my song,

I said in the song.

Things with 1501 started
to kind of go downhill.

You know, money not being spent
on me anymore.

I wasn't getting help
with promotion.

I basically have been
supporting my own career

for the past year.

I'm honestly just thinking
about going independent.

So now suddenly
they hitting my manager.

They're hitting D-boy,
talking about, "Oh, we're

"not gonna do no label slander,
da-da, da-da, da, but we do

got some money for
Erica, da, da, da."

I know y'all got some money,
so it took me to go make a damn

song for y'all to be
serious about taking

care of y'all's business.

But as far as the contract,
I fulfill my contract, so...

- If they fire you,
who they gonna have?

- If I leave,
who they gonna have?

- [laughs] Child.

If the business ain't right,

and it can't be fixed,
then you might have to move on.

So if she want to
move independently,

I can definitely
help her because I

know from the independent
side of things,

it's not easy doing it.

But I definitely feel like
she got what it takes.

I feel like this
right here is just

the next stage of your journey.

This is your go up right here.

- Hey, pretty lady.

- Aaargh.

Don't you look gorgeous?

- Oh, thank you.
- You look cute.

You look cute.

- Life has been really good
for Mendeecees and I lately.

We have been spending so much
time with the kids

and also so much time together.

And we are in the
process of closing

on my dad's first house,
and I can't be more ecstatic.

Yeah, I was next door
at the restaurant,

getting things together.

- How's things
going opening up?

- We got an event tonight.
I'm sleepy.

I'm tired.
How are you feeling, though?

- I'm feeling excited.

- My cousin, Kisha,
is one of the closest people

I have to me in my life.

She's more like a sister
than anything,

and she has always
been there for me

through any and everything
I've ever been through.

Girl, what are
you excited about?

- Life.

You know, good things are
happening with us,

with our family.
- Well, that's good.

I'm glad you excited.

Maybe you could give me
some inspiration.

- I'm gonna rub it off on you.

- Yeah, rub it off on me
because I'm tired.

I'm running around planning
this birthday party for Amir.

Yeah, everybody's
gonna be there.

- Ooh, like who?
- Mendeecees' mom is coming--

Judy.
- Judy? What?

- Yes, yes.
- What's going on with that?

- I have not spoken to her.

It's been two years.
- Really?

- But here's the thing.

My husband brings it on me
that she's staying at my house.

Judy and I haven't had a great
relationship for some time

now, really since
Mendeecees got locked up.

- Get you a sweater
to cover up.

You've been dressing
very provocative.

I don't want to walk in
and see my daughter-in-law

massaging his arm.

- It's time for
you to go to bed.

- Go to bed?
Yandy, please don't do that.

- And actually,
it's gotten worse

after our Dubai vow renewal
where she said

my marriage to her son
in the past wasn't real.

- She said but the
first one was fake.

- She could have
stayed home with that.

- Mendeecees has
spent a lot of time

repairing his relationship
with his mom,

and I've been super supportive.

But as far as Judy and I,

I maintain a real at arm's
length relationship with her.

- On another note--
- Talk to me.

- I just wanted to say
thank you.

- Thank you?

- For you taking this time
to go on this journey with me.

For you to just be,
you know what?

I'll do it.
- Yeah.

- You can have my eggs.
It's just--and you volunteer?

- Well, you know what, Kisha?
You would do anything for me.

Kisha has been trying
to have a baby for years,

and unfortunately she's been
struggling with infertility.

It's been heartbreaking
watching her be so ready

for motherhood
and not be able to conceive,

so I've been talking to Keisha
about helping her through

this process and
giving her one of my eggs.

- I'm getting emotional
just you talking about it.

- This is a small thing to the
bigness of our relationship.

- Oh, my gosh.

- You are the godmother
of my babies.

You are their second mom.

So I just feel like if it
ever came down to you having

to be there for my children
if I were not able,

I would not question the mother
you would be to my children.

And for that alone,
this is a no-brainer for me.

Can you not start
this crying stuff?

- I can't. I'm trying to have
a real, good,

strong conversation with you...
- Yeah.

- But just to think of this
selfless act, I have no words

to express how thankful
and grateful

because I just wanted to be
able to have a child that

would at least have my DNA.

This is something big.

- So let me just
be honest with you.

- [laughs]

- I have to still
talk to Mendeecees.

But he loves you
just as much as I do,

so I know that it's not
going to be a problem.

And I know that he's
going to be with it.

- I pray that he
is understanding.

- He is.

He's going to be understanding.
He loves you, he loves you.

- Coming up on
"Love & Hip Hop Atlanta"...

- All in Bahamas,
Amy this, then I see

you on the blogs with Erica.

You don't know where
the [bleep] land,

and I don't like it.

- It's Kisha's baby.

- Our children will be walking
around here with a sibling.

Oh, my God.

I don't even want
him to know what's

going on because this is--
it will ruined somebody's mind.

- He talking heavy like

- Engagement?

- Moving in together,

we met we hit it off.

And I say, "Hey, I got

You wanna hear what I got?"

And she loved this
one particular song.

She jumped on it right away.
- What's been going on?

- So your song's doing good,

Like, what the [bleep]?

This is the president of 1501,

who I'm actually having
current problems with,

and this fool is the root
of the damn problem.

Kai is a very shady person
when it comes to business,

when it comes to money, and
when it comes to Erica Banks.

And I just want
him out of my face.

- It is.
It is, but it's gonna be good.

- The timing is
totally [bleep] up.

- We can't help the timing.
- OK.

- OK?
Let's get the drink.

- Let's get the drink.

- Wait, can we get
Erica Banks a drink?

- The strongest drink
y'all I got.

I don't know.

This whole new relationship
with Karlie and Kai

is just weird to me
because of the timing.

I'm like me and him into it,
me and the label into it,

me and you, Karlie,
just got cool.

And then as soon as we
do a song, he's your man?

Something ain't right.

You look super
[bleep] cute, yes.

Karlie, let's take this
drink outside, baby,

because I need to talk to you.

- Whoo.

[dramatic music]

- Now, why you ain't tell me?

- I really thought he
was going to tell you

because he's closer to you.

- As a person,
he's just not my cup of tea.

- Oh, gosh.
- So now--

- I want y'all to be--

- Just don't bring
me around him.

- Oh, [bleep].

- Just don't bring

He's a dream-seller.

Yeah, he's talking
about engagement?

How long you guys been talking?

Exactly.
- Wow.

- So I don't know.
[laughs] I wouldn't do it.

- OK, this is
obviously a business issue,

not a personal issue, and
I don't know Erica that well.

So I'm just going to take what
she says with a grain of salt.

Her eggs aren't doing

- Wait.
You give her one of your eggs.

She carries a baby,
but that's your child.

- No, no, no,
it's not gonna be my child.

It's going to be her baby.

- But if she used your egg--

- No--

- Because that'd be the
same equivalent to you giving

someone your egg and getting a
surrogate to carry it for you.

- No, no, no, because it's
not going to be with you.

It's not going to be
your sperm or anything.

Instead of going to a stranger
to get an egg to have a baby,

it's better to go
to a family member.

That's your baby.

Our children will be walking

but they calling it
they cousin.

- That's sounds ridiculous.
- It's the truth.

It's not.
It's Kisha's baby.

took her last breath,

My grandmother was
the backbone of our family,

so I feel like
the reason why I'm

so loving and
caring and so giving

is because of my grandma.

I never met a person
that was full of love

like Grandma Pumpkin.

We're going to

She just was a good person
with a good heart,

and my grandmother
was the one that

inspired Ghetto Girl Eats.

Everything I know about
cooking came from my Granny.

She always said, when she
passed over, that she wanted

everybody to just be happy,

so I wanted to do a
celebration of life

where we can actually
think about all

back to that place.

I've been trying to be strong

- What's up, Ma?
- Hey.

- What are you doing?

- Just scrolling
through my phone.

- So after me and Yandy
was arguing about donating

her eggs to Kisha, we
really haven't been talking

since then, and things only
got worse since my mom came

to stay with us yesterday.

Her and Yandy's barely
spoken to each other,

and now I'm kind of stuck
in the middle as usual.

Taking selfies?

- Something like that,
but I was looking

at some things about Mama Dee.

What's been going on
with Mama Dee?

- I have no idea, but I'm going
to Scrappy's divorce party.

- Oh, that's what
I'm talking about.

They really getting divorced?

- I have no idea.

But since it's a divorce party,
it's probably,

most likely they
getting a divorce.

But how was your visit here?
Are you enjoying yourself?

- Yeah, I'm happy
to see the kids.

That's mostly what I came for.

- I'm leaving.
Hey.

- How about a kiss?

OK.

That's how you feel?

- Mendeecee, living like a
prisoner in my own house

is never fun.

It's kind of like
that thing where

you say Bloody Mary three
times, and then they appear.

Somebody in my house done
said Bloody Mary three times

because she appeared.

Luckily, I have
a booking in Houston,

so I can get out
of this nightmare.

- What do you mean,
living like a prisoner?

- It feels like I'm
a prisoner in my own house,

but anyway,
I'm leaving to go to Houston.

- Good, good. Right, right.
- "Good." "Good."

- I mean, I don't mean good,
but, I mean,

since you have that negative--

- In my house, staying on
my couch, she's saying good.

- It's not your couch.

- Before I leave this house,

you should give me
a genuine apology.

- I gave you apologize.

I'm not doing no
cartwheels for you.

Leave me the [bleep] alone.

- Last year, my husband
decided to meet with his mom

to repair their relationship,
but I didn't go with him

because I still felt
a certain type of way

about how she never gave me an
apology after our vow renewal.

- Wait, wait, hold on.
Come on.

Come on.
Come on with the cursing.

Please, please, let me--

just I'll see you later when
you get back, all right?

- Listen,
my booking is one day.

You handle the kids.
You handle your mother.

- She's not just somebody.
- This is some bull[bleep].

I'm not rushing out of here and
you're not going to dictate.

Look, I'm moving a pillow.

Have a good trip,
Yandy, all right?

This is some [bleep] up,
crazy [bleep].

- All right, I'm out of here.

- Ma, first of all,
you came to this house.

You didn't apologize to her.

You've been insulting her since
you walked through the door.

A bigger conversation

All eyes is on us.

It feels like Jay-Z and Beyoncé
just stepped in the building.

You know what I'm saying?

- Give Chadd a birthday
shout-out real quick.

- Happy birthday, Chadd.

- Chadd, we going to
name this baby after you.

[all cheering]

- This is my first time
stepping out

since my contract ended
with 1501.

And if I'm going to
go independent, hell,

I need to be at all the events
so I can promote my [bleep]

and find something new.

[funky music]

- Ooh.

- Hey.

- Ooh, you look so good, girl.

- Don't start.
You're so full of it.

- Hey, you do.

- My brother,
I peep your game so hard.

All in Bahamas, Amy this, ah.

Then I see you on the blogs
with Erica,

then you [bleep] with Erica.

You don't know where
the [bleep] land

and I don't like it.

- Karlie is the last person
that should be tracking

anybody I'm linking up with.

Karlie done had so many
different dudes on her arm,

she could be a Kardashian.

- So what's going on with you
and Erica?

- I'm [bleep] with Erica.
We're a thing.

[bleep] the booty,
the front, the back.

- No, don't say--
I don't need--I don't--

- I spit in her mouth.
- No details.

Erica was talking so much
[bleep] about me and my man,

Kai, but after he was
acting like that with Amy--

- No. See, I knew--
- Oh!

- And I knew you were
gonna do that.

- Maybe you should
focus on finding

out who Khaotic is dating
because I don't think it's you.

- One thing about us supporting
her in all her endeavors.

- OK.
- For sure.

- Because I saw her
on a blog,

she not with the label, and--

- Yeah, she no longer
with 1501.

She's actually independent now.
- Interesting.

- And whatever she need
from me, I got.

And whether if
it's some money--

- We have to shoot a video,
so you're paying for the video?

- Huh?

- Because I got a song
with Erica.

Are you paying for the video?

- Ain't you got a man?
- Yeah, I sure do.

- So why he not putting up?

- You don't know
what he's putting up,

but I [bleep] I could put
anything in my pocket.

- Oh, OK.

Erica told me that
Karlie was dating

the president of her label
and didn't tell her about it.

I wasn't even surprised.

That is typical, messy
Karlie Redd right there,

and now you going
to ask me for money

when you sleeping with
the owner of the label,

the label that didn't even
look after my girl, Erica?

Come on, now.

So I want to know this.

How is it going to
work with this song

if you basically
with her ex-label?

- You all in the business.

- Yeah, because I want to know
because I want to--

we need to maybe have
a discussion.

- Oh, yeah, we--
that's my girl.

- So we can figure it all out.
- That's my girl.

- OK. Grab your drink.
I paid for it.

- You ain't paid
for this [bleep].

It's free.

- So you get her to agree
my do a song with you

without telling her that
you dating the label exec.

If that ain't a snake in the
grass, I don't know what is.

So what I'm about to do is
I'm about to take Erica

over here to Karlie
and let them hash this out.

- So what's going on?

- I was [bleep],
but you just asked

for the money for y'all video.

- Yes, I sure am,
because you was flossing.

He was straight flossing.
- I'm confused.

Enlighten me on
this conversation.

- Because he was flossing.

He was like, "I got Erica,"
which I appreciate.

And I said,
"Oh, so you got it?

Then you got the
money for the video."

- But that's not--
- But that's your video.

- Talk that [bleep], baby.
- And I said, "You know what?

I'm going to share
the song with her."

- Not only is Karlie dealing
with a man I cannot stand,

but then she didn't tell me,
and then going to come

to an event talking about,

"Khaotic should pay for the
video for me and you?"

Are you [bleep] serious?
Like girl, where is your man?

But I'm glad you
brought up the song.

I'm glad you brought it up
because I'm cool on the song.

I don't even want to
put it out no more.

- ♪ Make my way to the top,
and there ain't no stoppin' ♪

- ♪ Make my way to the top,

[dramatic music]

- I'm cool on the song.

I don't even want to
put it out no more.

- Why?
- You know what I'm saying?

And it has nothing
to do with you.

It has everything
to do with your man.

You know what?

I was really interested in
doing the record with her.

But the more I
thought about it,

I just started to think
that man is going to be

involved in the song somehow.

And I don't want him a part of
any business that I'm doing,

so now there will
be no rollout.

There will be no video.

[bleep] the mixing,
[bleep] the mastering.

Erica Banks is out the door.

It has everything
to do with your man,

and I'm not even
the type of woman

to make decisions on feelings.

So right there, I got--

- OK, wait, I saw
that on the internet,

you said you wasn't
signed to them.

How so?

- Once my contract
was up, it's up.

I'm moving on.
I could have re-signed.

And they were trying to
negotiate that,

your man in particular,

was trying to renegotiate me
staying.

But I was like, y'all don't
know how to treat a bitch.

- Well, they just signed me.

- Oh.
[laughter]

- And they put
big money behind me.

- You all right, baby?
- [laughing]

- You need mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation?

You good?
- I'm fine in a second.

- You might need a
little mouth-to-mouth.

That [bleep] me up.
Ooh, girl!

- You said they did what?

- They just signed me.
- Oh.

- On paper?
- On paper?

- Did I just get replaced
with a 50-year-old?

What the [bleep]?

Is this really happening
right now?

I can't do this song.
I'm a real bitch.

You know what I'm saying?
I've got to keep it real.

- That's [bleep] up, though,
sis. I ain't gonna lie.

- That's [bleep] up?
- Yeah, that's [bleep] up.

- How is it [bleep] up?
Y'all [bleep] me over.

And now that you went and
[bleep] me over--

- I ain't [bleep] you over.
I ain't [bleep]--

- I said your man did.
Your man did.

- But I ain't got
nothing to do with that.

- It's your man, right?

- That's my [bleep]
on some personal [bleep]

but not on some business
[bleep].

That ain't got nothing
to do with you.

- You just said he signed you.
- Yeah, he signed me--

- But y'all ain't got
no business together?

- He signed me--
- Figure it out.

- No, I got it.
- We two types of bitches.

I'm the type of bitch
who will not [bleep]

with somebody if [bleep]
somebody [bleep] with.

You might be the type
of bitch that [bleep]

with somebody who [bleep]
somebody you don't [bleep]

with.
I don't rock like that.

I love you to death.

I personally wanted to give
you a chance and rock with you

because everybody got
their opinions about you.

But I was a real bitch.
I came in, I [bleep] with you.

- The song is fire.

- The song is fire,
but the song is in the trash

because that's your [bleep]
and I can't [bleep] with him.

- All this is because of Kai.

Me, personally, I don't let
no man stop my business,

but that's what
kids do these days.

They [bleep] with
the business man.

To me, that's [bleep] up
because, if anything--

- Well, I'm telling you
as a real bitch.

- I would never do that to you.
You know what I'm saying?

- This man lies on me.

He trash-talks my name
to other people.

Maybe he just don't
like me as a person.

- Who?
Why?

- Karlie, how you don't know
this about your own man?

You need to figure out who
you laying next to

because you don't know.

- No, you need to figure out
who you laying next to

because this [bleep]
in the Bahamas--

- This ain't got
nothing to do with me.

- All with Amy!
- Now, you--

- Why you over here
talking about my [bleep]?

Oh, no,
who you laying next to?

- Hold on, hold on.

- Because you was
Amy-fied the whole trip.

- Watch your mouth.
Watch your mouth.

Watch your mouth.
Watch your mouth.

Watch your mouth.
- No, no, he was all--no, no--

- We was talking about a
song, and now you talking

about what my man doing.
- Because you mad.

Now you mad she don't
want to do the song,

now you trying to come
for me because she

just came for your man.
Don't try to do that.

- I'll tell you what's up.

Just like you told me
what's up with my [bleep].

And just like you told me
what's up with my [bleep].

- Bring it the [bleep] down.

What about it?

- Just like you told me
what's up with my [bleep],

you talked [bleep]
he do all this.

- OK, but let's not
take the focus off

of what we talking about.
- No, we not.

- I need you to understand,

"Lady Death," can't [bleep]
with the song.

- You walking off the
whole label because of him?

- I'm leaving the whole label

because the whole label
didn't do me right.

Your man is just
a big part of it

because he just run his
mother[bleep] mouth too much.

- He ain't never
talked to me about you.

- You know why?
Because you don't know him.

- Just like you don't know me.

- Just like you need
to shut the hell up.

- OK, I'm sorry.

You ain't got to further
explain yourself.

- Yeah, you ain't got
to explain yourself.

- We got other places to go.
- I don't--

- You told her what it is.
- Shut up, Khaotic.

- No, no, because we do
got other places to go.

- Watch your ass.

- Just you relax, Karlie.
- No, watch him.

Watch him, bitch.

Watch him because I'm telling
you, watch your man, sis.

Watch him.

- Coming up on
"Love & Hip Hop Atlanta"...

- It's been very, very
hard for me to conceive.

Thank you to my sister.

She's going to donate her eggs.
- Wait. Hold on. Wait.

Time-out.
I thought we was off that.

This is like "Jerry Springer"

to deny this of me.

[all cheering]

- Hello, everyone.

- Auntie Judy.
[all cheering]

- Grandma brought
your favorite cake.

Happy birthday,
handsome grandson.

- Today we are celebrating
our son, Amir, birthday,

and we having the
whole family here.

Yandy just got
back from Houston,

and she hasn't even crossed
paths with my mom yet.

I had enough with
them fighting,

and I've been trying to
talk some sense into my mom,

and I think I finally
got through to her.

So hopefully this is
a nice drama-free party

and everyone can get along.

- So, Judy, how have
you been since Dubai?

- Oh, working hard and taking
care of my granddaughter.

- You got the energy
for all of that?

- No, I left that energy
in Dubai.

- Oh.
- Uh-oh.

- Excuse me, Laura, I just
wanted to say something

to Yan since I'm here.

Yan, so I just didn't want
to be in your house,

your and Mendeecees' house,
with us not speaking,

so I think I need
to tell you things

have been bothering
me since Dubai.

So I owe you this conversation.

When I went to Dubai,
my plans wasn't

to talk about your wedding
or to destroy your marriage.

When the drama came about,
I went along with it,

but that was not my intentions.

Do you understand
where I'm coming from?

Because it has been
a long time,

and I don't hold grudges.

- I don't know if she's
trying to apologize,

make excuses,
make me look like a fool,

or make herself
look like a fool.

But something ain't right
about this whole conversation,

and I'm about sick of it.

It's easy to say
you want to bury it.

It's easy to say you
just want to move on,

but these things
keep happening.

I just think
you owe me an apology.

- I think I owed
y'all an apology

because, like I said
again, both of you,

that wasn't my intention.

And I hope you don't go
back over what I did wrong

and how many times I did
this and stuff like that

because it's not
going to get us ahead.

- I just need a
real solid apology

because what you're doing,
you're not

taking accountability
for what happened.

- I'm not going to
say nothing else.

- I just don't want
this to continue

to happen because
through all of this,

I don't know what
I've done to you.

- I just explained myself,
and I told you how I feel.

And I apologized already,

and I don't know what to say
anymore.

- You didn't apologize.

You said you want to apologize,
but you didn't apologize.

[quirky music]

You know I have love
for Mendeecees.

And I have much love for you.

Yes, when I'm angry
with Mendeecees,

he's the closest one to you.

And sometimes
he doesn't listen,

and he's very sarcastic.

And I take it out and put
it on you so he could--

maybe he would pay attention.

So you don't deserve it, OK?

I hope that you understand
that I want to work it out.

It's going to take time.

It's more to be done
than to talk about.

- We need those actions.
- All right.

- [laughs]
- All right, all right.

- So, no, it was not the best
apology, but it was something.

Baby steps.

- Moving forward, we're family.

We're going to figure it out.
We're going to fight.

We're going to fuss,
but we're going to make it work

because I have amazing news

that's going to really
bring us together.

You guys know I have been
suffering with infertility,

and it's been very, very
hard for me to conceive.

And I just want
to say thank you

to my sister who's going
to help me along

my journey of conceiving.

- Wait.

- So she has been my rock
in this process,

and we just got approved.

She's going to help me.
- Wait. Hold on. Time-out.

- She's going to
donate her eggs.

- Wait. Hold on. Time-out.
I thought we was off that.

- I never really got
a chance to tell Kisha

what Mendeecees' reaction was.

And the last time
I spoke to her,

she thinks he's
on board with this.

This is not going
to go over well.

- So we're gonna have
another grandchild?

- We're not off anything.

Yes, we're going to
have a grandchild...

- Oh, [bleep].
- And all of that.

- Yeah, what's up? Yan?

What's going on? I thought
we had this conversation.

Why are we talking about
donating eggs right now

at a kid's birthday party?

I didn't want the kids to
know about this at all.

This is inappropriate.

This [bleep] sounds
like a circus right now.

This is like "Jerry Springer"
right now.

- Don't ruin Kisha's moment.

- Yo, Ralph, let me tell
you something real quick.

- I have no idea
what's going on.

- Hold on. Let me tell you
something. Listen. Listen.

Do you know, if Yandy
gives Kisha a egg,

that's Yandy's child
she's carrying, right?

- That's not my child.
- That not really her child.

- That's not her child?

- No, we signed papers that
once I give her my egg,

it's hers.

- Because I wanted to
have a child with my DNA.

Who's the next best
person to go to?

It's my sister.
So that's what I want to do.

- Yeah, but, listen,
so you're giving

up the child for adoption or
something like that, right?

- No.
- No, no, no. no.

- She's going to carry--
- So--

- Yandy is not
carrying the baby.

- Exactly.

[quirky music]

- They're going to take--
- Yandy's egg--

- The egg, and they're
going to insert it.

- And they're going to
take Mendeecees' egg?

- No.
- Ma, I don't have an egg.

- I mean, but, no, but
he's going to be the father.

- No.

- He's not going
to be the father.

- No, I'm not. Listen.
- That's what I wanted to know.

- So I never want to tell
a woman what she can do

with her body, but I
think she should value

my opinion as her husband.

And it shouldn't
matter for something.

- I do know Kisha has
been wanting to have

a child for a long time.

- For a long time!
- OK, all right.

- A long time!
- I know. I know.

- You're not going
to deny this of me!

You're not going to
take this from me!

- Just relax a minute.

- It's my sister, and she
agreed to give me her egg.

I think it's OK.
- OK.

- It's OK.
It shouldn't even be like that.

- I pretty much told Kisha this
is a done deal

because this is my eggs,
my choice.

However,
Mendeecees is my husband.

And at the end of all of this,

if he is completely
against this,

this is really going
to complicate things.

Mendeecees, listen.
- What?

- You've never had
this experience...

- Yeah.

- Of going through
what she's going through.

- You're right.

- Parenting looks
different for everybody.

So you can't sit here and say
how one person needs to do it

because you've been blessed

to be able to do it
the easy way.

- And you know that
this is Yandy's egg.

That should make you love my
child even more because it's

a part of your family.
- Listen. Y'all crazy.

I ain't got no say-so in this.
- Yes, you do have say-so.

- No I do not, because
if I had a say-so in this,

we wouldn't be having
this conversation at all.

- No, that's not true.

- And you just
don't understand.

- Ma, I'm outta here.
- That's not true.

Don't do that. Don't do that.
Don't walk away right now.

I figure we can work it out.

Like,
y'all don't even understand.

Y'all don't even understand.
- I love you.

We love you. I love you.
- It's OK, though.

We're going to figure it out

and we going to work it out
somehow.

[crying]
I don't want to talk no more.

- This is very deep.

- Next on
"Love & Hip Hop Atlanta"...

- Cour'don's birthday
is coming up,

so I'm going to invite
their dad, too.

- Really?

- I'm just scared about opening
the door and it backfires.

What's up?
- Hey. What's happening?

- This different.

- But, listen,
someone offered me, right,

somebody offered me $100,000
for my seed.

- And you don't got the check?
- No, I didn't take the money.

- [bleep] that.
- Where they at?

- I love you.

Forever gonna love you.
You're my soulmate. I know.

- I don't trust this
whole situation.

- We're finna move in together.

- See, this is the [bleep]
that I'm talking about.

- Because truth be told,
it's been--

I told y'all it's
been two weeks.

It's been months.

- What?
- It's been months.
