- Previously on "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta"--

- So what happened?

- Everybody literally went to jail over something so stupid.

And that situation was [bleep] bad.

- I told you that I would help you raise the child.

But I told you that I don't have to be

involved with the mother.

She not coming into my house.

- [bleep] your house. - I'm just saying.

- You bugging. You on some [bleep].

You trying to give your egg to your cousin--

- My sister.

- I understand you'd do anything for her.

But it's not an easy decision to make.

- I think we need to have somebody come rap on it.

I think we need to get Saucy Santana.

What do you think, Sauce?

- You just started music, huh?

- No, I've been-- - You been?

- Yes. - Oh, okay.

- We all, like are trying to tackle all of these issues

and work on ourselves and everything.

- What about you and Karlie?

Because y'all was besties. - Oh, my God.

- Zelly. - Hey.

- What's up?

- Come and sit down and get them feet done.

- Oh, get these damn dogs done.

But my feet look good, though. - I hope so.

- Oh, my God.

- Them Hollywood girls, them hos feet be dirty so.

- Welcome to Atlanta. This is how we get down.

We got liquor, hookah, hot wings.

- All at the nail shop. - Fried fish.

- I like that. - Thank you.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Look at--what is that, milk?

Heavy cream?

- Milk.

- That's when you know your feet is ugly,

when you gotta dip them in milk.

- Almond milk.

- Oh, it's gonna be so nice.

- Atlanta experience has definitely been a--

- It's been a lot.

- I ain't gonna lie.

I been really drained.

They haven't even gave us a court case yet.

They said, like, they could literally call us

like 48 hours in advance like, hey,

you have court on this day.

You gotta be there. Like, you know what I'm saying?

So I'm like, what the [bleep]?

- So basically, you can't travel right now.

- Yeah, I feel like I'm on probation.

- Santana's fixing to be mad as [bleep].

- Yeah, he's very upset.

He's nominated for a VMA award. We supposed to be--

- Oh, yeah. I remember. We talked about that.

- Yeah, we supposed to be walking the carpet with him.

I'm supposed to be right there cheering him on

because this is a big moment.

It's a big deal that I'm missing out

on a major moment in Santana's career.

It's his first time being nominated.

And now I can't even be with him at the VMAs.

He was already weird about my circle of friends

from the jump.

And now this little incident has proved him right.

And I just feel like I gotta make things right.

His birthday is October 8.

I'm having him a birthday party.

- Okay.

- I don't know nobody in Atlanta. I need--

- Oh, yeah, no, I can definitely help you.

- I need the decorators.

- I need, like, all types of [bleep].

I'm trying--I'm thinking of Chanel and strippers.

- I really hate that Zell is actually having

this experience in Atlanta.

Like, I know that it's a lot going on

and it's a big change for him.

But hopefully, once the dust settles,

he'll be much more comfortable and glad

that he actually moved here.

- I needed this, like, for real.

This is so relaxing.

- No, we try to be doing a whole bunch of this.

It's gonna get better.

- I need this once a week with you, me and you,

a day, once a week.

- Damn, your booty eating them things up.

You ain't fixing to go out in public with this on, is you?

- Uh-uh, no.

- Girl, it's like in there.

- That's how they made.

- Let me see. - [laughs]

Jasiel and I have reconciled before the city hall party.

But the topic of his baby mama Gloria, and the child, Gianna,

needs more discussion.

And this time it's gonna be in a more

calm way than the way we interacted

at the bowling alley. It was a little hectic.

- Mm-mm. - What?

- Spoiled.

- So I was thinking about this whole thing

with your baby mama, 'cause I know at the bowling alley,

it was heated.

But I think it was just because I thought that you

were trying to just take more than

what I was willing to give.

- No, baby.

This is definitely a change in our lifestyle,

you know, having that young of a child.

- And I'm not even talking about the child.

I'm talking about the whole thing

with you trying to get her mother to--

- No, I--listen. Some way now, paths will cross.

- I'm still where I am with it.

- Mm-hmm.

- That's your responsibility.

And you are the sole liaison.

And I feel like if you can stick to that,

we'll be all right.

Jasiel has to be the liaison.

Like, Jasiel and Gloria, they should

be able to communicate without Kendra's name being in it.

But also, Sierra invited us

to Saucy Santana birthday party.

I wanna go.

- You can go.

- You don't wanna go?

- It ain't that I don't wanna go.

It's just that I just don't know if I should go

to Saucy Santana's birthday party, you know?

People kind of heated with me right now.

Recently, I did this interview.

And I'm catching flack.

When I said that I wouldn't perform

in front of this type of crowd, I meant an all-male crowd.

Whatever your sexual preference is, hey, if that's what

you get off, that's-- I get it.

I'm just telling you, if I'm uncomfortable with something,

it's just I'm saying I'm uncomfortable.

It does not make me homophobic.

It don't mean I hate nobody.

It's a balancing act when it comes to this whole topic

in our culture and in society, period.

- The number one goal, support Saucy Santana

at his birthday party.

You know, he could have possibly been

offended by what was said.

- Listen, I don't wanna go and people feel like

they need to approach me about anything in regards to that.

- No.

- 'Cause if I'm at his party,

it might be a moment where somebody wanna

ask me aside to talk to me.

And see, at that moment, if I choose

to not wanna have that conversation,

it's gonna be taken wrong.

It's gonna be like, oh, wow. You came to my party.

You don't even wanna talk to me about it?

But at this moment, this about you.

This your birthday party.

- Okay.

Well, I'm just-- I'm just extending

the invite, sweetheart.

I mean, you are free to do whatever.

I understand Jasiel's hesitancy

about going to Saucy's birthday party,

and it does not have anything to do with Saucy himself.

It's just this Vlad interview. It was click bait.

So I think it would be a good idea for us to go to Saucy's

party, you know, just to show some support,

and then just to just clear the air.

We gonna have a good time, so it is what it is.

- Hey, man. I'm just telling you, whatever.

- I just--I want--

- If you just feel like I need to be there--

- No, 'cause it's fun.

We work all the time.

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

- I was in the hospital just yesterday.

Some of my organs are failing.

- What?

- Where's Erica?

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

I'm just talking to you.

- Khaotic, you so fool of [bleep].

- But you still love her.

- You know she been healing, right?

- You sit down with Spice.

- Hey!

- It's been a while since I've gotten

together with all the girls.

So I'm gonna just invite them to a tea party.

Finally. - Oh, hi!

- Hi!

- Hi, ladies! - Hey.

- Hello. - Okay, you got the dress code.

I like that.

Plus, the truth is me wanna get the tip on

little of the things that's been happening with everyone.

And I wanted to fill them in with what's happening with me.

Okay. Wait, wait.

So grab the teacups and let's turn it around

and look at Sierra. What's the tea?

[laughter]

What's the tea, Sierra?

- First of all, I'm keeping things under wraps.

I've been dating, and one of the guys

that I went on a date with, we made out.

And everybody's making this big thing out of it.

I'm having fun.

Like, I'm free as a goddamn butterfly.

- As you should.

Your ass don't need to be locked down with nobody.

- And don't want to.

- But I see you posting too.

I see it on social media.

- Everybody get your teacups.

- Everybody get the teacups. - Point them at Renni.

- Point them at Renni. - No, I'm not dating.

I'm in a relationship.

all: Oh!

- Yeah. - That's right!

- My man is Blacc Zacc.

He's a rapper.

When we were in Belize, I was saying,

like, I was interested in seeing someone or whatever.

But he and I had already started communicating.

But it was, like, really light.

When we linked the first time, we have never been

away from each other since.

- Well, we had an interesting meetup the other day.

Everybody hold your teacups up to Renni.

- Me again. - What happened?

- Girl, we tried to pull her and Erica together.

So yeah, the meetup didn't go quite as expected.

Erica, where are you?

- Girl, I just finished my drink.

- Why you ain't tell me you wasn't coming?

- I'm not pulling up to that [bleep].

Ain't no pulling up and kumbaya and all that.

I slept on it, I woke up, and I was like you know what?

That ain't even beef. - Okay.

- Hold on. Wait, wait, wait. - It don't got nothing to do

with you, Yandy, but I'm not doing that [bleep].

- First, I felt like it was disrespectful to Yandy.

- She said, so y'all--you want me

to be on this kumbaya [bleep].

And you didn't get punched in the face.

You didn't get a drink thrown in your face.

I feel like she needs to mature and y'all make amends.

You get what I'm saying?

I said me and Karlie did it.

And you guys will be able to say that very soon.

- Mm-hmm.

- In Jesus' name.

- And I'm saying it now. all: Amen.

- I like that.

- So the real reason why I invited

y'all here is because, you know, last year I almost died.

- Oh, honestly, how do you really feel right now?

- So the truth is I've been dealing with a lot

of health issues by myself.

I have another hernia surgery that they want me to do.

I was in the hospital just yesterday.

They had to take like 15 bottles of blood from me

to figure out why some of my organs are failing.

- What?

- Failing organs? - Yeah.

- Really?

This is a huge deal.

And I'm so hurt and broken that she's been

dealing with this on her own.

Like, you got a circle of girls here.

You got a group of friends here.

- Is there, like, a plan?

Is there, like, a step by step way to go through the process?

You know what I'm saying?

- So after I get the results from these

15 bottles that they drew from me,

that's really what's gonna--

when they diagnose me with something,

that's when they're gonna try to figure out

if they can treat me.

I've been hanging in there.

I've been praying and doing my healing journey

and working on myself.

And I'm really been better than last year.

So I'm going to be having a celebration of my

one-year anniversary to life.

- Wow.

- Just giving God thanks for life.

So I want y'all to come and celebrate with me.

- I cannot wait to come.

- Now, are you inviting Karlie to that party?

- Oh, lord. - What?

In moments like this, it just makes me, like,

think about relationships.

And I don't care what this one right here says,

her and Karlie were like this. - Yeah.

- I just feel like everything needs to go to the side.

And you need to be a part of your village.

If Rasheeda's not there, I'm here.

If I'm not here, Renni, Sierra.

And maybe there's a world where Karlie needs to be

there for you for something.

God didn't put her in your life for no reason.

And although she may have weirdo ways

of moving and not telling you, I do believe

she did it in love for you.

- You know, to be honest, I definitely thought

about reaching out to Karlie.

But with all my health issues,

I just couldn't be bothered with the back and forth.

Maybe I need to write her a letter--

- That would be a start. - So she could read it.

- That would be a start.

- Because I feel like if I go to have a conversation,

she's just gonna start turning the conversation

into a different thing.

And then I forgot what I need to explain to her,

why she hurt me and how she hurt me.

- Only because, if we really wanna heal

and we're really gonna do what we been doing,

at least bring some closure.

Closure does a lot.

- It does. - And it ain't for her.

It's for you. - Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Thank you, ladies.

I love y'all so much.

- Love you.

- Oh, you wining me, but you ain't dining me.

I see no food here.

- You the meal.

- Khaotic, you so full of [bleep].

- I need to use the bathroom.

- Oh, go ahead. Use it.

Saucy wanted to get together after our very awkward

first meeting in the studio.

And he was meeting up with Khaotic.

And Saucy and Khaotic have worked together.

So I'm excited about just kind of connecting

with both of the guys.

Where's Erica?

- Me and Erica ain't really been

seeing eye to eye like that.

This ain't got nothing to do with her.

I'm just talking to you, checking your temperature.

- I'm not sick.

You ain't gotta check my temperature.

- Right now, things just a little

shaky between me and Erica.

And Jessica is so used to polyester.

She was in one of the biggest polyester relationships

of all time, you know?

I feel a lot of heat every time I

come around Jessica, like when I come around,

she catch a fever or something.

What you been up to?

- Just working, man, in the studio.

- When are we getting in the studio?

You know I'm the hitmaker now.

- You gotta listen to my music first before you want it.

- I done heard some of your drip.

That's how you sleep on me. I done heard some of your drip.

- I was just in the studio with Saucy.

I felt like things got a little awkward.

This is Bang.

He produced the song "Vogue."

I was just hoping that you would get on it.

- Why? Because it's "Vogue"?

You know, this is my first time even meeting any one of y'all.

So just coming in like, hey, get on my song--like, whoa.

- I just thought maybe he felt bombarded.

- Oh, like y'all just came in there and just

took up the space and stuff.

- It could be a bit uncomfortable, especially when

someone's like, push play.

Do you wanna be on this song?

You put a person on, you know what I mean?

- Yo.

- What's going on?

- Hi.

- What's up, gang? - What's up?

- Hi. - How are you?

- Hey. - Hey there.

- What's up? - What's up? How are you?

- One thing about you, bitch, you be fire.

Where the drinks?

What, y'all on a date or something?

- No. - It could be.

- Have you talked to Zell, like, since

the studio session and stuff?

- I have.

- So how you feel about the studio?

- I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable.

I didn't want you to feel like I put you in a position

where you have to then-- you'd be put on the spot.

And if I did that, I completely apologize.

- Yeah.

I feel like I'm very, like, to myself.

And I'm very reserved.

So I just wanna, like, let me see

if I even like her before we come in

and start getting to business.

That's like [bleep].

Let me see if I even like [bleep].

Let me see if I like this energy before I go in

and lay down.

I wanna set up a group session because I want us

to get to, like, you know, just vibe musically

because Khaotic is talented.

- I get it. I understand Saucy.

And I understand his ideal of working with people

that he has a connection with.

I'm really excited to just get to know him a little better.

- Saucy, man, how has Atlanta been treating you, man?

- Atlanta, you know, I've been here since 2020.

I love the party.

I love the strip club, the booty club.

I just love-- I like Atlanta.

- You know he's born the same day as my ex?

- Yes, we both Libras.

- Speaking of birthdays, bitch, what's

going on with your birthday because it's coming up?

- Zell wanna throw me a birthday party.

- Wait, why you say it like that?

- Because just, like, I just don't like his friend choice.

So I'm like, at my party, you gon' want

your friends to be there too.

And I don't like clown [bleep]. - Yeah.

- So for me, I feel like you was just inserting yourself

into something that really ain't

had nothing to do with you.

You was on the news.

It just became a big ass thing that was [bleep] unnecessary.

Ever since Zell and the altercation

that happened at the restaurant,

I was just turned off.

I had the VMAs coming up, and that was just

a really big moment for me.

And Zell not coming really disappointed me.

It's a relationship.

It got its, you know, ups and downs.

But you see this?

Do you see what's on my wedding finger?

- Oh, she married to the money. - Oh.

And that's on y'all [inaudible].

- Bling, bling, bling.

Let me ask you this.

How did y'all feel about what Joc said about

performing in front of gay people,

he turning it down for 250k?

- I just feel like it's inappropriate.

- You know what I think?

Him being a man, you still are skeptical

of what you think the hood gonna think.

What people gonna think if I collab

or if we do a song together?

Or what people gonna think if I go perform

in front of a gay crowd?

I don't think that it was shocking from Young Joc

because that's how a lot of these straight men

feel in the industry.

A lot of men still are worried about what other people think.

And I'm pretty sure he just felt like, [bleep], if this

hit one of the blogs, you know, I'd rather the caption

be I Declined a Gay Show versus I Will Perform at a Gay Show.

- But you know what?

Like, he gotta think about this.

I think that's just like in--in like--

I don't even wanna say the urban world,

but I think the ignorant side.

- It's the African American community.

- 'Cause guess what? At the end of the day, Jay-Z

Jay-Z been did records with Frank Ocean.

Thug collaborated with Elton John.

- Yeah.

So what I wanna understand with Joc is if you not familiar

or if you uncomfortable, just coming

from my standpoint, why?

What do you--what do you think--like, what you think

gonna happen in the club? Or what you think like--

what do you think-- I'm just--I wanna--

- I just think it's a lack of information.

- Everything's not like that.

- Joc will take a quarter million dollars.

I don't give a damn what nobody say.

Right now, Joc got how many kids?

- Yeah, a gang of them. - 12, 13.

- He do? - Boy, Joc--

- Hell yeah. - Man, Joc gonna be up there--

Joc gon' be up there meet me in the--

- [laughs] - It's going down.

Joc gonna hit the dance and all.

- [laughs]

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

- Hey, y'all.

- I just don't want you to think that all gays

are like, freaks.

- I never said that.

I feel like this is something he's gonna be like,

you know what? My man got me.

- Hey!

- Hey, Karlie.

- It's fun to get everybody together.

- You look cute.

- Yeah.

- Hey. You look cute.

- We all haven't been together in a long time.

- I know.

I ain't seen you in a minute.

- Yeah.

- Why?

- Cause she been in love with a man.

- Is that what it is?

- But before that. No, no, no, no.

- She's been in love with a man?

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

Karlie, we need to talk because there's some things

that you should know.

You and Spice--

- Need to talk. - Yeah.

- And get over y'all [bleep].

- I just got here, and Team Spice wasted no time.

- Because at the end of the day--

- Y'all both have a lot of [bleep] going on.

- I said, y'all need to squash this [bleep].

And honestly, I feel like y'all need each other.

Just between me and you, and I feel like this is something

you should know, she's really going through something

like life-threatening.

Like, her organs and [bleep] is failing on her.

She's like, sad.

- No matter what issues me and Spice have,

at the end of the day, I don't want to see her

go through anything like that.

Even though I'm mad at her--

- Hold on. Do you miss her?

- I missed her until she tried to bust me in my head.

- Do you still love her?

- You know she been healing, right?

- It really is working for Spice.

She's really, like, taking accountability.

Like, y'all both need closure.

Y'all need to figure out where y'all went wrong,

what happened, and do y'all love each other enough

to continue your friendship, which I think y'all do.

- Me and Spice have been through a lot together,

I mean, as friends, as sisters.

And I've been wanting to put this to the side

before them telling me that Spice's organ's failing.

And as a real friend, I do want to get my friend back.

But I cannot beg for anyone to be friends with me.

- Will you sit down with Spice?

- I'm gonna sit down, but I ain't gonna talk.

- Girl, you better sit down with that [bleep].

- Thank you. I love the dress.

- Happy birthday. - Thank you, Joc.

- So Joc, what's going on with your little interview now?

I gotta ask that because--

because I felt like--we [bleep] with each other.

So I was like-- when I saw that.

I was like, no, I thought Joc was cool.

- I'm walking into Saucy Santana's party.

Like, you know what?

I'm a stand-up guy, 24/7.

And I'm gonna walk in here.

And I'm gonna have me a shot with my beautiful ass wife.

And I'm gonna just enjoy the moment.

And whatever comes with tonight come with tonight.

At the end of the day, I just want people to know

there ain't no hate in my heart.

And I think understanding and reciprocity can take us

a lot further in this day and age.

Trust me when I tell you that.

- I know that them little ass clips caused a lot of chaos.

But even just watching it and you don't wanna perform,

[bleep] got they chest out and [bleep].

Like, so I feel like sometimes with [bleep],

it's a persona of what gay is or what gay supposed to be.

But you got a lot of us that's hood [bleep].

I wanna hear "A Couple Grand," visit your wake

and give your mama dead flowers.

- But guess what?

- But you thinking that basically--

ah, oh, my God, Young Joc.

No, meet me in the trap, [bleep].

We gangsters too.

It's not no sweet [bleep].

So just how you go to a straight club

and [bleep] gon' vibe and clique out--but yo,

I wanna hear "A Couple Grand."

That's my favorite Yung Joc song.

- Listen, listen.

It's so many people around me in that community.

Bro, I respect everybody. - Yeah.

- But I said, if someone asked me to go to a just all-guy

gay club, I'm not comfortable.

When I pressed my hair, just something as simple

as me pressing my hair, it says nothing

about my sexual preference.

And the whole world points a finger at me

and say, oh, you must be gay.

I just--people don't wanna be judged,

men or women, just people.

We don't wanna be judged.

Let us be who we are.

And who I am is who I am.

And if I can say that I'm not comfortable

with doing something, that's just what it is.

And that's all. But love is love.

- I just don't--

I just don't want you to think that all gays

are like freaks or somebody's gonna do something.

- I never said that.

I love everybody.

But if it's something I'm not comfortable with,

that's what it is.

It's some [bleep] you ain't comfortable with.

It's some [bleep] you ain't comfortable with.

- I respect everybody opinion.

I'm not comfortable, but I'm going

to get my mother- [bleep] money in front

of hillbillies and everybody.

But I respect you for even--

I respect you a lot for even coming behind him

and being like, hey, I don't got no, you know, issues.

I'm just not--I'm just not comfortable.

- Guess what?

At the end of the day, we all human, bro.

- I just don't want you to think that we weirdos.

- I ain't never said that.

- We hood [bleep]. Yeah.

And we wanna meet you in the trap, yeah.

Yeah.

We living dangerous tonight.

I understand where Joc was coming from just as far

as being uncomfortable with something

that's not familiar to you.

So you're not gonna be the most excited about it.

But I just appreciate us being able to have a dialogue

and just being respectful and, you know,

agreeing to disagree.

- Happy birthday to Saucy.

- Happy birthday.

- Thank you. - Happy birthday, Saucy.

- Thank you.

- Material girl.

- Look at Zell, always acting so nervous outside.

- Why he was nervous?

- I can tell when y'all got some little [bleep] going.

It's like he don't even wanna talk.

Like, I'm like, what's up?

You just like, looking around and just

acting weird and [bleep]. - Why you ain't tell us?

- What I'm supposed to say?

- Because he went out of town he didn't answer that phone.

- Ooh.

- Things are just progressively getting worse and worse.

He was being sneaky uploading on Snapchat.

But it just was weird for him not to answer the phone.

What was the harm in saying, hey,

I'm finna go to a after hours?

I didn't see what the big deal was.

But whenever Zell get with his friends,

he got a new attitude.

- Why you ain't answer that phone?

- I just feel like he just want--

he just wanted something--

- You lied about what you doing.

- I just lied because I didn't want

to have to go through the [bleep] of just [bleep].

- You went through it cause you lied.

So now you made it worse.

Boy, just be a 100 first, [bleep].

And I already knew.

That's a petty ass lie.

You lied about going to a after hours.

And so at that point, now I don't even feel

like you went to a after hours. You was [bleep] a bitch.

- I did lie.

I lied and told him that I lost my phone, when I didn't.

I just wanted to go to a after hour.

And I just know that he wouldn't

be accepting of my friends and people

I've been knowing for years.

I'm not out laid up with somebody else.

He don't have no type of proof of me doing anything.

- He love you.

He love you down.

- He know more than anybody. - Come on, bitch, another shot.

- We ain't here to talk about the other night.

We gonna take our shots.

We gonna have us a good time because we got--

I still got to hit the road.

- Happy birthday.

Y'all know I like being in the middle

of no relationship [bleep]. - Now she wanna go. Ooh!

What's up with you?

Oh, we getting ready to paint some pumpkins?

- Pick a pumpkin and we gotta design it.

- Okay. Well, I'll take this one.

- Okay.

- I'm super excited to hang out with my friends

Da Brat and BB Judy.

They've gone through IVF.

They know this process.

And who better than to talk to friends that been here before?

Because I really Mendeecees to get on board with giving

an egg to my sister.

- So how is parenthood?

- I love it.

I love being a mommy.

- Aw. - Yeah, really.

It make me not be the person that wanna get my lick back.

- Aw.

I don't know if I've updated you guys on what's

going on in our lives.

- Uh-oh.

- It's not a uh-oh.

- It's definitely a uh-oh. - It's a uh-oh?

- Yeah, yeah. - It's not a uh-oh.

Y'all remember when I came to the restaurant?

- Yeah. - And I was telling y'all--

introducing y'all to my sister.

And I was saying how she was having a really

hard time having a baby.

So the doctor told us our next option was to use my egg

with a surrogate for her.

- Your egg with the surrogate and the donor?

Well, that's like, your child.

- That's what I say.

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

- All right, so hold on.

Yan, they understand the process.

Can they tell and help educate us?

Who child is it?

Wait, now I'm not asking you, baby.

Give me one second, okay?

- It's damn near like his child because it's your baby,

because it's your egg.

- No.

- You belong to him. - I don't want him to--

- It's like-- - We are one.

- I'm sorry. Like, y'all are one.

- I don't want him to think that this

is his nephew or niece.

- I wouldn't let her give her egg to somebody else.

- Why? - I wouldn't.

- My wife brought me here for Da Brat to co-sign her, but it

feel like I won this round.

Someone finally agrees with me.

- If my wife have a baby, that's like that's my kid.

- Your wife isn't having a baby.

Your wife is giving an egg. - But it's her--

- It's not a baby yet. - But it's her egg.

- So I might have miscalculated this meeting slightly.

This was not what I was expecting you to say, Brat.

Let me ask you about the shot

because I'm supposed to start, though.

- Oh, Yandy.

- What you mean, "oh, Yandy"?

- I mean, if you ain't used to that,

it's something you gotta get used to.

- But it's only if I'm carrying.

I'm not carrying the baby.

- No, I didn't carry.

- No, I know.

But I thought you had to do it every day

when you're carrying.

- No, you do it every day when they need to get your eggs.

- They gotta get your eggs.

- Girl.

- You gotta shoot yourself every day.

When they extracted her eggs though, she got really sick.

- I feel like I wanna say this, but I

don't wanna scare anybody.

- She had to go into the hospital.

Like, it was crazy.

She even called her kids, like, in case something happened.

- Oh, my God. - And that was it for me.

I was like, oh, God. I can't do that.

I can't do this.

- My wife thought she had this all figured out.

But she's not understanding she's risking

her life, her family life.

And you know, she just wanna help.

- Then when the child gets older

and start asking questions--

- We can explain then. - Then you explain it.

- I don't think that's gonna hurt the child.

- So you'll be okay if the child say, like,

you my biological mother, so is it okay

I call you Ma instead of Auntie?

- But we don't know--that's like--that's too far ahead.

- Then that would make your kids feel funny, probably.

- But that's--but who thinks about that type of stuff?

- Mendeecees, obviously.

- [laughs]

- But like, that's 10, 20 years from now.

And it's too much to think about.

- No, Yandy. That's not fair now.

You gotta consider how he feels

because like that's your husband and it's your--

it's your egg.

And the kid is probably gonna look

like you, you and the donor.

- Y'all had this process without me even knowing, so.

- I don't want this to be something

that's a point of contention in our marriage

or in our relationship.

Because you know, I want a baby to come

into this family with love.

I was super gung ho about doing this for my sister.

But I know that this wasn't good for my husband to hear.

I know that this is going to put a further wrench

in this whole process for me and Keisha.

My husband may have won this battle,

but I am still optimistic that I can win the war in the end.

- I just want us all to have these difficult conversations

so we just on the same page.

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

- I would never intentionally hurt you.

- I wouldn't intentionally hurt you too.

I'm just trying to explain to you--

- You would never intentionally hurt me?

You said you were gonna bust me in my head.

Hi, Karlie.

- I have anxiety at this point.

I don't know if she gonna get up and try to go crazy on me.

I don't know if she gonna yell. I don't know if she--

I have no idea what's gonna happen.

- Hey.

- I'm glad you were able to come.

I wrote you a letter.

It's six pages. It's very long.

And I wanted to hand it to you personally because I feel

like, a lot of times, I'm not able to express

myself or explain myself in certain situations.

I tried my best to explain everything

that kind of hurt me.

"The way things unfolded between us has caused

"a considerable amount of pain.

"There are multiple moments in our friendship

"where I felt betrayed.

"I value our friendship immensely.

"And I was left bewildered for months.

"And it's important to me to express to you

"how you have hurt my feelings.

"And this letter is not to assign any blame or guilt

"onto you, but it's rather to communicate how your actions

"have impacted me, alongside establishing clarity

and peace for both of us."

- Thank you.

- So long story short, there was, like,

different scenarios throughout our friendship

where you made me feel less than.

- Yeah.

Even with the song, I just felt used.

- Mm-hmm.

- I found out that she went to meet--had to submit the song

that I did with her for a Grammy.

And she never told him about it.

I just felt used

because I feel like I put her on and then

she started to go behind my back with people

that I connected her with.

It's like I just was looking

at her sideways like, okay, Karlie.

I believed in your career when nobody else did.

So I feel like it was just a slap in my face

when I was just left out at that moment.

Like, I should have been a part of it.

- I definitely understand that.

I am sorry I left you out of the process.

It's never my intention to hurt you.

- Thank you.

I can take my glasses off. I'm sorry.

- I love you.

- I didn't wanna get emotional. - I've always loved you.

- Well, I'm telling you, it leaves me bewildered

if you're saying to me that you love me so much.

- Mm-hmm.

- But on the other hand, behind my back when I'm not there,

you're telling people, oh, I'm scared and making it

seem like I'm this bad person or I'm bullying you.

- No, I'm scared because-- - So, I'm confused.

Like-- - Lemme unconfuse you.

I told people that I was scared of you

because you physically attacked me.

- Get up!

- You, let me tell you something.

Let me tell you something.

- What the hell just happened?

- [shouting indistinctly]

- She attacked me.

And in your letter, I was deeply hurt

that you said that I only came to Dominican Republic

to go to a party.

I cried and cried and cried. - No, hold on.

- No, I'm just telling you how it happened.

- Simba said you wanted to go party.

- I never went out.

- Karlie, let me explain to you.

I don't have to lie to you.

And you don't have to lie to me because we are

both trying to get clarity. - Right.

Your exact words was, the only reason you came

to Dominican Republic was to go out.

Honestly, I could care less about what these people said.

And what's funny is all the people that was there

in the Dominican Republic, she's not

speaking to not one of them.

That's crazy.

I'm listening. - And then--

- You're not hearing me out. - I'm just--no.

- I'm telling you right now I understand you're talking

and I'm telling you.

I'm responding to your--

your accusations.

- I'm not even accusing you. - Okay, okay.

- My letter clearly explains why I was hurt.

One of my friends who was with you in the DR, one of them

texts me and telling me what you were saying,

which is differently from what you're saying now.

And then-- - Angel's lying.

Because I'm sure Angel-- Angel--

- It's not just Angel.

Then in a couple hours, one of them sent me a text and said,

you can use this.

- Angel's lying. - Hold on.

It's not about Angel.

You gotta follow what I'm saying.

- Okay.

- One of them sent me a text that said, you can use this.

And they use this that they were talking,

they sent me a video that was recorded while I

was in the hospital of my doctor speaking

about my medical issue.

And that video, I had no knowledge

that it was being recorded. - I never.

- They sent me by accident and said, oh, you can use this,

making me feel like they were trying to send it to you

and accidentally sent it to me of my medical records.

Apparently, like, one of my friends that was in the DR

recorded some sensitive medical information.

And it was just sent to me accidentally.

And it's the same information that was leaked to the blogs.

And Karlie just was tied to it because she was one

of the person that was in the DR.

And it's just been really hard for me to trust people.

And even people who call themselves friends,

it's just weird.

- First of all, I didn't even see your medical records.

That's number one.

- But do you understand anything that I'm saying?

- But I'm telling you I never recorded

your medical records because I would

never do no [bleep] like that. I never sent a video.

I never looked at a video.

And I'm telling you, you've got to believe me on this one.

I wasn't aware of a video.

A lot of this is Spice getting into her own head.

She thinks that everyone is against her.

She thinks everyone's trying to attack her.

So I'm so confused.

- Karlie-- - I let you talk.

- When I brought you to your birthday, nobody's up--

it's a lot of different things.

When I brought you to Costa Rica

for your birthday though-- - But I gotta respond.

- It's so many things that I'm just trying

to have this conversation-- - But I gotta respond.

- Because I never make you feel small.

- You're not letting me respond.

- Okay. I'm gonna walk away.

- I feel like--

But I thought it would be a conversation.

It's so frustrating that Spice is

not letting me get a word in.

I just wanna say my piece.

I know you wanna think that somebody so bad

wants to hurt you.

I would never intentionally hurt you, which is why--

- You would never intentionally hurt me,

but I wouldn't intentionally hurt you too.

I'm just trying to explain to you why I was hurt.

- You would never intentionally hurt me?

You said you were gonna bust me in my head!

You know how we talk! You know how we talk!

Stop trying to paint this picture like I'm a bad person

- I really love Spice,

but after she attacked me, that's crazy.

I would never ever think to attack anybody

I was friends with for a long time.

It's like, I don't even know who she is anymore.

At this point, just admit to it and say, I take accountability

and I apologize.

- You know in your heart how I love you!

- And I love you too!

- But just say it!

why I felt like she betrayed me as a friend.

It makes me feel like it's going to be harder

Because of what somebody said?

Oh, and this person said this, and this person said that.
