Damn babe, the party just got started.

You tired or something, babe?

You know, I didn't even get a chance to celebrate

[horn blowing]

my win.

- Bakari, why don't you wanna have a baby with me?

All my friends have kids.

They on their second and third.

- First of all, Imani,

half your friends is hoes, that's a terrible example.

Okay look, Imani, I wanna have a baby

but we been what, married a year?

Can't we just enjoy each other first?

Plus besides, why are you trying to keep up

with these raggedy ass bitches anyway?

To be honest, I think you need to get a job.

Your mind is way too idle for me.

- Nigga, you got amnesia?

You the one who told me to close my shop.

Talking about baby, let me take care of you,

let me be your piece.

- Okay, facts.

But still, you need to find something to do

'cause you can't keep coming to me with all this bullshit,

I can't take that.

- Bullshit?

Wanting to have a baby with my husband is bullshit?

Really, Bakari?

- Babe, I'm not ready!

I'm not.

[screaming]

- I want all that shit.

- Chill, chill, chill, chill bro, chill bro.

- Yeah.

I want everything your bitch got too.

- Alright.

- Now what you got, baby?

[gun shooting]

- Babe, babe?

[crying]

What's wrong with you, you could've been killed!

[soft music]

- What's up, nigga?

What you doing here?

- Man, what's up, Cy?

- You know me, just taking care of some last minute things

for this listening party and everything.

- Okay, that's a lie.

'Cause since you and Imani got married,

she been having your ass running rancid, bro.

Come on, tell me the truth.

What the hell you doing up here?

- Okay, you wanna know the truth?

- Yes I do.

- Okay, so ever since the robbery,

I decided hey, I told Imani maybe we could have a baby.

Bro, she has been wearing my ass out.

She want it anytime, anywhere.

At the house, on the couch, in the sink, in the tub,

at the store, aisle one, aisle four,

at the hospital, at the clinic, I mean, I can't do it.

- A baby?

[laughing]

You?

She do know how you feel about kids, right?

Come on, man.

- Yeah, but like I said, with the whole robbery situation,

we almost lost our lives

so I figure maybe I could take a different perspective.

- I feel that, I feel that.

So basically you can't hang.

Wait, you getting old.

I'm just saying, you need to get you

some ginseng or something?

I do got the little blue pill if you need to rock the boat.

- Cy. - What?

- Do you always have to make jokes like,

why do you always have to make jokes?

- Look man, I'm used to the old BK.

Knock down two, three chicks at a time BK.

This married BK, it's a whole nother nigga.

- That was like college, I'm past that.

- College?

That was like three years ago.

Please tell me you remember Tina and Tanya.

On some future shit.

- Bro, can we move on?

- You the goat though, you the goat.

Hey, let's say you get home, right?

Alright, so, tell Imani you need a break.

You can't just ghost her, man, communicate bro!

- Nigga, you been watching that Ayana shit again?

- See, that's our problem, between black men.

We can't emotionally support each other, man.

- Cyrus. - What?

- Get away from my table.

- You know what, I'm trying to help your ass.

Okay, alright, so you take your ass home

before you get put on punishment, nigga, cling cling.

Motherfucker.

- It was late, I didn't wanna wake you up.

- Wake up!

You know we were supposed to have sex last night.

You know I'm ovulating.

- Babe, I'm tired.

- Okay, it is Taco Tuesday.

- [Imani] Really, Bakari?

- What?

- Oh, so you think I'm dumb and blind?

She dressed like a fact, she talk like a fact, it's a fact.

- First of all,

Tatiana is very well qualified for the position.

And second of all, I didn't even hire her, Cyrus did.

- That's even worse.

He always trying to bring hoes around you.

- Imani, lower your voice.

- I don't give a fuck!

Bakari!

- Imani, do not embarrass me at my job.

We can talk or you can leave,

those are the only two options that you have.

- I don't like her, Bakari.

- You don't even know her.

- I don't care.

I know what type of girl she is.

I used to be that type of girl.

- And what kind of girl is that?

- The kind that treats other women like its competition.

It's like a challenge for her

to break up happy homes or something.

I see it all the time on Instagram,

you should've seen how that bitch was trying to read me.

But of course, you're clueless.

- Babe, are you sure you're just not being insecure?

- Insecure where?

I am a bad bitch, first of all.

Ain't nothing insecure about me.

- Exactly, so then why are you so impressed?

You don't trust me?

- It's not you, BK, I don't trust her.

You a man with a dick

and its only so much temptation you can handle.

And I can tell she with the sheets.

- So what do you want me to do, Imani?

Fire the girl?

Fuck up her college credits

so you can feel some type of way?

I can't do that so you just gonna have to trust me.

- I'm watching her ass, Bakari.

- Babe, can we just get some food?

It's Taco Tuesday.

[mumbling]

- Taco.

- Okay, I have a surprise for Imani

and I've been working, be quiet.

I've been working really hard

so I'm gonna show you guys what it is.

Keep your eyes closed.

- My eyes closed.

I'm messing up my damn lashes trying to keep 'em closed.

- So she has no idea.

Alright, keep your eyes closed.

- Okay, give me your hand or something.

- Here, come on. - Don't make me fall!

- I'm not, I'm not. - Okay.

- Okay, so,

come this way. - Okay, my eyes stay closed.

- Yep. - I'm a peek.

- No, don't peek, both hands, put both hands over--

- I can't, I can't, I'm scared.

- Put your hands over your eyes.

Keep 'em closed. - Okay baby.

- Keep 'em closed.

Alright, keep coming, keep coming, come on.

- [Imani] I'm coming.

- Keep coming, keep coming, keep coming.

- All right, open your eyes.

This is us.

- You got us a house?

[Imani screaming]

- She's so extra. - Look at it!

You dead ass, it's ours? - It's us.

- Like in real life? - The Kings.

- Oh my God, I got a house, bitches!

[upbeat music]

- You know what, I'll charge your ass next time,

Can a nigga get a sandwich or something, please?

- That's hers, I got like four boxes.

The rest of that shit, it's hers.

- I hear that.

That's that marriage shit

and I'm genuinely proud of you, bro.

Moving on up in the world.

- Well if you settle down and got you a nice woman, Cyrus,

you might be able to make the same moves.

- Pump the brakes, bro.

Okay, y'all can have all that monogamy shit.

I don't want no part, okay?

I'm good, I am good.

Thank you, appreciate it.

- Thank you, big strong husband, and ugly.

I appreciate y'all, I love this house.

- You know what, I gotta be honest though.

Looking at y'all, when I think of myself

sometimes I think maybe I should settle down

with a nice wholesome young lady, right?

But then I think back in the back of my mind

when I'm logging onto BlackBootyMansion.com

and I'm witnessing all the vaginas I have yet to slay

and I'm like I can't do it, I can't do it, dog,

I can't do it.

- Cyrus. - What?

- Black Booty Mansion?

- I'm just keeping it 100, bro, I'm just keeping 100.

You about to go log onto that shit right now, ain't you?

Yo for real, you about to log on?

Oh shit, that's nice.

Is that crystal?

Shit, here you go, Ma, we rich now.

The one that taught her everything she know.

Shit, this used to be our favorite spot.

Ain't that right, baby?

- Imani, get in the car. - Bakari.

- Get in the car!

Look bro, I don't know what the fuck you on right now,

but that's my wife and you being real disrespectful--

- Nigga, you should be thanking me.

I got Imani good and trained for your lame ass.

All them little tricks she know, yeah, I taught her that.

- Oh my God.

Bakari!

- So everything that you thought was going on is over with.

- Bakari, don't, let's just go.

Listen to your wife, don't get fucked up out here, nigga.

I don't fistfight.

- What's your problem, Dre?

We are done, I'm married!

- Right before the wedding, you was on my dick though.

- Look bro, stay the fuck away from my wife.

I'm not playing with you.

- You is a funny nigga, dog.

I tell you what, just tell your wife to quit texting me.

- Imani, give me your phone.

- Huh?

- Give me your fucking phone!

So you been texting this nigga?

And then you take us to a restaurant

That's some dirty shit!

- BK, it's just-- - BK nothing!

You're wrong!

And the whole time the way you was up my ass about Tatiana?

- Tatiana?

- You texting this nigga.

Get out.

- You not coming in? - No.

It's best that you get out of the car and let me cool off.

[tires screeching]

- Girl, I don't know where he at.

He been gone all night.

No, he not picking up the phone or nothing.

BK, where you been, I was worried.

- Clearly, I was out getting fucked up,

but what I wasn't doing was texting my old hoes,

some of which have been trying to fuck me lately.

- Bakari, look, you were right, I was wrong, I'm sorry.

- Sorry for what, Imani?

For disrespecting me or getting caught disrespecting me?

[Imani choking]

- BK, stop!

- Keep that same energy with your ex.

Fuck with me, I'll fix this.

[groaning]

- BK, stop!

- Keep that same energy with your ex.

This different, this real.

- What we had was real.

- Imani, I'm sorry.

I haven't talked to you in what feels like forever.

I sent you messages,

I tried to reach out to everybody I can.

- Two weeks before that nigga proposed, where was you at?

I had you in there on all fours.

- Yeah, I was, but I had to make sure I was over you.

And I am, but that's the last time

you ever gonna taste this.

- I just need to see you so if you could

could you please just come home and just let's talk,

let's just talk, we don't have to do anything but just talk.

I just wanna hear you out, I just want you to come home.

- Don't forget who leveled you up.

You were selling them bootleg dresses out your Mama crib

before you started fucking with me.

I got you a condo, a studio for your design shit, all that.

- You did a lot for me, Dre, you did.

But what you also did was fuck hoes in our bed.

Had bitches sending me videos of them sucking your dick.

And let's not forget when I was your personal punching bag

when them hoes made you mad.

That's what you did.

But I didn't come here to argue.

I'd be gone the first thing in the morning.

- Imani, I hear you talking.

But I'm the first nigga you ever loved,

first nigga you ever fucked

and I know you still got feelings for me.

- Whatever I have to do,

whatever it is, I don't care.

It's worth it and I don't know, I miss you,

so whatever you need, I got you.

[dramatic music]

Tabitha?

- Bakari?

Oh my God, hey!

- How are you, you look amazing.

What are you doing in Atlanta?

I thought you were in Miami now.

- I'm just here networking for a couple days.

I actually have a shoot with Sister Talk Magazine,

my first cover!

- [Bakari] That's major, yo, congratulations.

- Thank you.

I heard you doing big things out here.

VP of A&R, huh?

I read the blogs.

And you got married?

- Yeah, I did.

- Okay, tell me about her.

- Oh, Imani, she's a stylist.

I met her on set, she was styling one of the artists

and we really just connected.

The rest is just kind of history.

- I'm so happy for you.

I always knew you'd make a great husband.

- Oh really?

I find that kind of hard to believe

being that you broke up with me

in the most worst possible way ever.

- Bakari, I'm gonna own that.

I should have talked to you, I should have.

But I knew if I would've sat and had a conversation with you

and looked into those puppy dog eyes, I would've folded.

I had to go, I had to go right then.

And you would've just talked me out of it

and I couldn't have let that happen.

- But did you have to leave the whole continent?

By the time I heard from you you were already in Spain.

And of course I was gonna talk you out of it,

I was dumb in love with you.

- And I was in love with you too but we were so young.

I had all these dreams.

I wasn't ready to be a wife or a mother.

You always knew exactly what you wanted

and I, you were just too much too soon.

- Well, I guess thanks for not leading me on.

- How about we get lunch, catch up, on me?

- Tabi, I'm good, I got a lot of errands I gotta run.

It was really good seeing you though.

- It was good seeing you too.

Congratulations on everything,

you were always gonna go get her.

- I'm gonna make sure I cop those covers too.

I'll get like five of them, get you to autograph 'em.

Then I'm gonna sell 'em on eBay.

- Shut up, I got something better.

Take a selfie.

Now I'm gonna let everybody know I know the new Diddy.

You gonna hit me up the next time you're in Miami, right?

- Promise.

- You always kept your promises.

Talk to you later.

[soft piano music]

- Imani, Imani, let me get this straight.

You got a brand new, big ass house

and you still on my couch,

can you please make this shit make sense?

- I already told you, BK OD'd on me

and I'm not about to let that nigga

put his hands on me, period.

- You said he choked you,

but did he like choke you choke you?

- It don't matter, that's how shit starts.

- Okay, okay, better stop playing with that nigga.

Okay crybaby, for real, for real,

why he turn up on you like that?

- We ran into Dre and that shit went low real quick.

- Dre?

Bitch, you still on that?

Did you record it?

Bitch, you know Instagram!

- No, almost.

But Dre told BK that I was texting him and--

- Wait, wait, what?

- All I said was a couple text messages in my phone and BK--

- Wait, wait, why do you have text messages from Dre?

- It was just simple shit,

good morning texts, nothing serious.

- Man, I ought to punch you in the face.

Don't no married man want his girl texting no nigga.

- Carra, it was not that serious.

He went way overboard.

He just a control freak.

- Bitch, don't no man want his wife texting no other nigga.

Then y'all see his ass and he got receipts?

You the one looking dumb, and played.

- Bitch, you been taking his side since I met him.

He is not perfect.

He want to control everything.

He don't want me to work,

he went and picked out this big house without my opinion,

he always gone and-- - And what, bitch?

And he's faithful, and he got you a big ass house

and he fine as fuck.

And, do he have a big dick?

I knew it, bitch, okay!

So it's 80-20, the pros and the cons.

You better go home and get your nigga

'cause if a bitch like me come across a nigga like that,

I'm gonna change his life.

Okay, your dumb ass.

- Bitch, go find you a man.

You glad I'm your company.

- So I'm sorry the night kind of was a blur

but hopefully I'll see you again soon?

- Yeah. - Alright, no worries.

Take care.

[mumbling]

- Yes, yes, yes.

Wait, wait, wait, no, no, no.

What the fuck is you doing, bro?

Who was little shortie?

Look, usually I would be giving you a trophy

for this type of behavior but bro,

you have a whole wife, man!

- Nigga, what wife?

I haven't seen or heard from my so-called wife in two weeks.

I'm basically single.

- No, no, BK.

Look, you the only one out here

giving niggas hope bro, shit.

You the only faithful nigga I know.

Well, knew. - Hey!

I didn't sleep with that woman, chill.

- So what, okay, what was that?

Explain it to your boy, please.

- I met her at a bar.

We had a couple drinks, talked a little bit.

I brought her back to the house,

planning on doing something dumb

but we both passed out.

Besides, even if I did fuck her, it wouldn't matter anyway.

Imani's not even here.

- Oh man, come on, bro, y'all gonna work this shit out.

Okay look, Imani probably just needed

a little time to herself.

- Some time, Cyrus?

This Imani we talking about.

I don't know if I wanna deal with, let alone be married

to a motherfucker that what,

could go two weeks without seeing me, speaking to me?

She's killing me.

- Look bro, just don't do nothing irrational, okay?

- I ran into Tabitha.

- Whoa, whoa, wait, bro,

so that's why you out here acting reckless.

- What you mean?

- Duh nigga, Tabitha.

Ever since college she done had you

wrapped around her little finger, man.

- What?

- And then she sprinkle that little

Erykah Badu black magic dust on your ass.

Every time you get to talking to her you act out

and you try to prove like you over her or something.

- Yo, you tripping, never.

- Okay, okay, never, okay,

last time you was with Tabitha, what did you do?

Yeah, you proposed to Imani, man.

You met Tabitha at that bougie ass day party,

you got to talking to her

and all of a sudden you couldn't wait.

You had to propose.

- First of all, I proposed to Imani

'cause I wanted to marry Imani.

That's the only reason I proposed to her.

Tabitha didn't have shit to do with that.

- Okay, okay, so you telling me ain't a little bit of taste

of get back in there, huh?

Because she left your ass high and dry, man,

and I know that's why you--

- Cyrus, just drop it.

- Look man, I wouldn't be a real friend

if I couldn't call you out on your bullshit.

But you been married for almost a year now

and curbing bitches.

Now you got drunk ass females coming to the house

like you 21 again, man.

What, you back on that old BK shit?

- If she not trying to fix it, why the fuck should I?

- God damn.

[soft piano music]

So, what's going on, nigga?

Look, they remodeled your office.

I didn't know when you was coming back with the situation.

It's like you never left, man.

Just one thing, please tell me done crying

and some drinking shit.

- Good morning, Cyrus.

You got that stuff prepared for the shoot today?

- No, nigga, elephant in the room, man.

You talking money and what not.

She back at the house, all is well, let me know what's up.

- Actually, none of that.

But not really focused on that

and we got a lot of shit to do.

But while you're here.

Cyrus, would you stop using

the company credit card for your personal shit, bro?

- Me, no.

Who told you that?

- I get the credit card statements, Cyrus.

Fortunately, Tatiana found a discrepancy while I was gone.

[mumbling]

Huh?

- Look, I do not recall.

- Cyrus. - What?

- We been friends since freshman year in college.

You're the only nigga I know that drinks Old Fashioneds

and you been trying to pull girls

with those cheap ass apple martinis since you were 21.

Look, what's this, what's it say?

- Discrepancies.

- [Bakari] What's it say, huh?

- It say apple martinis and Old Fashioneds man,

I used it okay.

Damn, BK, she was bad dude, I'm talking about bad.

- Cyrus? - Yeah.

- Do I need to take the card?

- No man, I'm good.

Look, it won't happen again, I promise you, man.

[mumbling]

[phone ringing]

- I gotta take this, Cyrus.

Tell Tatiana meet me at the photo shoot

and please make sure Fax is on time.

- [Cyrus] I got you.

- I'm serious, Cyrus.

- Serious too, BK.

- Hello?

- Bakari, look.

Listen, I don't have time to talk

so I just wanna let you know,

Imani is okay, she's safe,

you don't have to worry about her.

- Wait, what?

What you mean I don't need to worry about her?

That's my fucking wife.

You seen her?

- Yeah, she's fine.

- Where she at, your house?

- Bakari.

- Oh no, I'm about to pull up.

- Boy, do not come over here.

- Look Toccara, I just wanna talk to her.

- Bakari, do not pull up right now,

she's not ready to talk to you.

I will call you when she's ready to talk to you, okay?

- I need to talk to her.

Like why won't she talk to me?

- She will talk to you when she's ready to talk to you

and I gotta go, okay?

- Wow, Atlanta is so small, hi Cyrus.

- I said what you doing here?

- Not like it's any of your business

but I'm gonna go see if BK wants to go to lunch with me.

- Tabitha, BK is married, leave that man alone.

Why you keep playing with him like that?

- Cyrus, BK is grown, he can make his own decisions

and if he decides he wants to go to lunch with me

that's what it'll be.

- You know what, every time you come around

you're on that bullshit, you know that, right?

You know that man don't love you

but you keep using that shit to manipulate him.

- Manipulate him for what? - I don't know!

Whatever freaky-deekey ass voodoo shit

you be throwing on that man.

You have him all zoned out.

- Cyrus, BK and I have a connection.

Something you will never understand.

It's something like celestial and I need to feel that.

That's why I'm here.

- That is some of the most selfish shit

I ever heard in my life, man.

You try to make it sound all beautiful

but really you just saying

you don't give a fuck about that man's marriage.

- From what I'm hearing, his marriage is complicated, so.

- Who told you that, and so what?

What, you thought you would slide right in real quick?

You know how many hoes he had to fuck to get over your ass?

- Look, Cyrus, you never liked me.

- Preach, thank you!

- And I never cared.

So I'm about to go mind my business, you do the same.

- So your hoe homework out here--

- Bye Cyrus.

- Oh, you looking prissy.

I'll beat your ass.

[slow music]

- Ready to take over the world?

- Tabitha, what are you doing here?

- I'm taking you to lunch

and I'm not taking no for an answer.

- I'm not--

- In approximately 53 hours

I leave for an 18 month assignment in Tokyo

and I probably won't see you for a very long time

so how about lunch?

- Tabitha, I don't know, I haven't been to my office

in God knows how long

and I just got a lot of stuff I gotta catch up on.

You think we can take a rain check though?

- How about dinner later?

- Well it'd have to be a little later, like nine.

- That's fine, Atlanta never sleeps,

I'll pick the restaurant.

- Okay, nine o'clock.

[door knocking]

- BK, something you need to see, man.

- Well I--

- Hey man, you need to see this now, alright?

Yeah.

- Bitch, you did not just post this.

So you just gonna expose your husband

to all of social media like this?

- Expose?

I was just telling my truth,

it's probably gonna help somebody.

- Look bitch, shut up.

So Aisha Curry now?

- All my followers support me.

You supposed to be my friend, you acting like a op.

- Girl, now although I am here for all the drama,

endless chasers, you really gonna air all your dirty laundry

in front of everybody?

I mean your husband is low key popping

and this shit kind of messy.

- Look, this is about me, not him.

Look at my comments, they understand what I'm going through.

- Girl, who, all these damn strangers?

Do your husband even know what's going on?

Do he even know what happened?

You know I talked to Carra already

and she said you and him ain't even talking.

- First of all y'all bitches need to stop talking about me

behind me back.

Look, I'm gonna talk to him when I get ready.

- Look Imani, all I know is if you would've told the man

about your past this situation probably

wouldn't have ever happened.

Now, this post, about to have all these thirsty

background bitches popping up out the wood works.

Like The Walking Dead.

- Look, my past don't have anything to do with me and him.

It's none of his business.

But if a background bitch can take him, he was never mine.

- Girl, you giving the nigga away.

You supposed to be covered.

But you done sent his ass back on the display case

for all these thirsty ass hoes out here

and you know they window shopping with they broke asses.

- He gonna have to learn a lesson about me.

- Ooh, so my spider senses are tingling

and telling me, you gonna take this L.

Right.

Well go get them sequins, girl.

Come on so we can go tack this

old tacky ass dress behind you.

Smack this.

[mumbling]

- She owe this, man, she got my purse.

- Yo, I can't believe she did this.

She knows what this'll do to my career.

- Man, we gotta get in front of this.

The blogs will have a field day with this

and I'm sure Imani not even thinking about the backlash.

- Of course she not thinking about no fucking backlash.

Her ass thinking about getting some damn attention.

- God damn gotta know it, bro.

Woo-wee.

- Get me an interview, Cyrus.

I need to be on the radio show first thing in the morning.

I can't afford to have this type of press

especially with Fax and Trans' project dropping soon.

Hell no.

- I got this.

You know the folks at J96 love you man.

They would want an exclusive from you.

Where you going, man, you not gonna help me?

- I think I'll pull up, this shit has gone too far.

- You know where she at?

- I got a good idea.

- Mr. King, have you seen this?

[mumbling]

Jeff.

- Yeah, yeah, snitch.

Call Steve Harvey.

[tense music]

- I'm not mad, Cyrus,

I'm just gonna pull up to talk to her.

Look, this shit has gone on far too long.

Hey look, I gotta call you back.

Yeah, I gotta call you back.

I'm trying to look up this address

and the GPS is doing something, I'll call you back.

[groaning]

- License and registration.

- Here you go, officer.

- Keep your hands on the steering wheel too.

Mr. King, where you coming from?

- Coming from my office in Lenox.

- Office?

What do you do for work?

- I work at a record label.

- What are you, a rapper or something?

You dress like one.

- No, I'm not a rapper.

I'm like a talent scout.

Anyway, I'm kind of in a rush, officer.

- You wanna tell me why you're parked back here then?

- I lost GPS signal.

I pulled over, I was looking for an address.

I'm just trying to be on my way

and I'm not breaking any laws so what's--

- Yeah' well see about that.

Sit tight for me.

Black lives matter.

- [Cop] Mr. King, is there anything in the vehicle

you want to tell me about?

- No, nothing at all, sir.

- Go ahead and step out of the vehicle for me.

- [Bakari] Can I ask why?

- Yeah, there's been a number of break ins in the area,

you have a breaking and entering charge on your record.

Now step out of the vehicle.

- Officer, but that was a long time ago.

- Step out of the vehicle.

I'm not gonna ask you again, you understand me?

Keep your hands in plain sight.

Get out now.

Slowly.

- [Dispatcher] Calling all cars in the area

of North Druid Hills,

211 in progress at Walsh Brother Jewelers, please respond.

- Patrol car 1644 is right around the corner.

I'll be there in just a second.

Looks like it's your lucky day, mister talent scout.

Move along and don't let me catch you over here again,

you understand me?

[door knocking]

- I told you, keep that loud shit down around here.

I got nosy ass white neighbors.

Do not pull up, what the fuck?

That's why she don't fuck with you, you don't listen.

- Toccara, let me in.

- Go home, Bakari.

- Imani, come talk to me.

- That's what we not gonna do.

No, now I'm trying to help you and you fucking shit up.

- I just, I just want to talk to her.

I need to talk to her.

- You gonna have to leave

or you gonna make me call a security nigga.

- I'll beat dude ass.

- Probably, but he be calling the cops and shit, Bakari,

and I ain't trying to get you locked up.

- Well I'm gonna just sit here till y'all come out then.

- Oh no the fuck you not,

you not gonna have us locked up in here.

Just be cool and go home.

- Why's she doing this, Carra?

This shit don't make no sense.

- She said something about y'all moving too fast

and all this but I don't know.

But I'll just tell you all that later.

- Moving too fast?

You say that after we just got married

and a brand new house?

- You really want me to call security?

Look, I don't know how much she told you about her past

but one of her exes hospitalized her,

like beat her the fuck up.

- What, she never told me that.

- Okay, she don't tell nobody that.

So who knows what psychological shit you stirred up

when you did what you did.

But who knows,

that's just the state that she's in right now.

Just go home and I'll call you, just chill, damn!

- Sorry for popping up at you.

- It's cool, Bakari.

- Imani, I love you, but I'm not gonna wait forever.

Yes, Cyrus?

- Hey man, I been calling your ass about an hour, nigga.

- Man, look, yesterday I got caught

in a whole Black Lives Matter situation.

Yeah, I mean cop, gun, the whole scenario.

- Damn bro, you good?

- Man, I don't know what I did

but it just seems like the universe

has been taking a major shit on me.

It seems like ever since I got that promotion

everything's been going left.

- You gonna be good, bro?

- [Bakari] Yeah, I'll be alright.

- You sure?

- Yeah bro, but what's up with this radio interview?

- Yeah, that's why I was calling you, man.

You know what, talked to 'em,

they said they're good with the exclusive and everything

but they can only get you on the show Monday morning.

- Fuck, it's Friday,

so you mean I gotta let this shit marinate all weekend?

- Hey, you try to talk to Imani, man?

- I pulled up.

She wouldn't come to the door.

I started talking to Carra

and then she ended up telling me some shit

about Imani's past that really got me fucked up.

- Really, what's up?

- Man, I'll talk to you about it later.

- All right man, look, you got till Monday morning

to get all your talking points and shit together.

Just go home, chill out, clear your mind.

Just let this shit go for the night, alright, let it go.

- Honestly Cyrus, yo, I hate being in that house all alone.

It's like I bought the shit for her.

It don't even feel right no more.

But I'll just pulling up on Fax and Trans

and work on some promo stuff and try to keep myself busy.

- Alright man, the best thing for you to do

is to dead all that social media shit.

That's the best bet, alright?

You still going on Saturday, right?

- Yeah, I'll be there.

- Alright, and you know Kurt is still doing

the Fourth of July grill.

- Alright, well I'll meet you later, alright?

- Alright.

Talk to this nigga.

Got some shit going on, be talking about me.

I'm trying to help our ass.

- This is really dope.

So y'all do this every week?

- Yeah.

This my home spot.

I'm just the money man.

Sometimes I get on stage and do my thing though.

- So you rap too?

'Cause I work at a record label.

I need to get to know you then.

You hungry?

- I could eat.

- Wait a minute, wait a minute, Tatiana kissed you?

- Yeah.

- Damn, man, I was gonna try to get that, man.

- No, no, dog, never fuck with chicks you do business with.

Man, trust me, don't do that.

- But she just so young and bubbly, man.

You know what I'm saying, no?

- No, I'm actually with Kurt.

Look, women at work, off limits.

You can't risk it going south

when you gotta see her every day.

- Oh, I know, she came in the next morning,

she tried to apologize.

She says we're cool.

But I'm not trying to be seen

or left alone with that girl again, period.

- Be careful, man, [speaker voice muffled]

- You know, I'm trying, let me get this straight, okay.

Tatiana kissed you, right?

Tabitha pop up out of nowhere,

- Tabitha? - Tabitha?

- Yes, Tabitha, the one and only, right here in Atlanta.

Pop up at the office yesterday.

- Excuse me, is your name Imani, right?

- Um yes, do I know you?

- I'm sorry, this may seem strange

but I'm an old friend of BK's.

I just see you guys all over social media

and blogs all the time.

Wow, you're even prettier than the pictures.

Yes, body, yes, all of this.

- Yes, and I'm feeling this bohemian vibe.

Too cute!

- Thank you.

So I'm Tabitha, me and BK went to college together.

- Oh, it's nice meeting you.

- So, I don't wanna pry.

I just seen all the drama online

and I just want you to know you got my support.

Even as a friend of BK's,

just know that if the situation isn't safe for you,

if you don't feel protected, you leave.

You don't look back, okay?

- I appreciate that, thank you so much.

- You got my support, girl.

Better go, it was nice meeting you.

But look, I told him, I said don't get married.

Now look at the universe showing you all your options.

We just need to see where her head is in this.

You talk to her yet?

- So I pulled up to Carra's house.

- So no.

- And I'm trying to talk to Imani,

get her to come to the door

but she won't fucking talk to me.

Then Carra goes, starts explaining about some crazy ex

that Imani had, said that nigga really fucked her up,

put her in the hospital and everything.

It's like damn, she never told me that before.

- Damn bro, you know that might actually explain a lot.

- Yeah, it's the same thing Carra was saying,

saying it might be bringing up some psychological past shit.

But still though, after all that we been through,

as long as we been together and you never told me that?

How could she not tell me that, I'm her husband.

- You know, people cope with things differently, bro.

Like instead of keeping all that put away

maybe it's easier for her

not to retell her story all the time.

- Nah, she still gotta give my nigga a chance to explain.

These bitches act like we gotta be perfect.

- Bitches, why they gotta be bitches?

- And they're doing bullshit all the time.

- Damn, respect the ladies, bro.

- How did a woman even agree to marry your ass?

- Look at me, I'm an amazing nigga.

Masters degree, education, looks, I'm the cream of the crop.

At least she knows she's winning with me.

- Winning!

[chattering]

- Alright nigga, I'm gonna pull right back up.

- See, you niggas don't know your worth.

These women got us running around like its all about them.

But we know this is a man's world, fellas.

We all know what it boils down to.

They gonna return to our house

when they want or need a man.

Go to work the next day for their boss who's a what?

A man, exactly.

Besides, all you gotta do is have a little money,

have a little swag, you got her.

They're just as shallow as us.

- Hell no, hell no, don't lump us in that shit.

They're not as shallow as you, hell no.

Keep that over there.

- Fact and you sound like an old caveman right now.

Women enhance everything.

They make everything better.

They make it smell better, make it taste better.

Shit, a world full of niggas would be trash.

- All I'm saying is look at us.

We're educated, employed, we're young kings,

the cream of the motherfucking crop,

know your worth, know your worth.

- I know my worth, nigga.

- Hey, who gave you niggas permission to hoop over here?

- Oh God, this nigga.

Remember we had to roll up?

- Oh!

- Oh look, famous bitch niggas.

- Yo, I'm really tired of seeing your fucking face

and I ain't gonna be too many more bitches either.

- What's up then? - What's up?

- Corny ass niggas.

Lucky I'm in a good mood today

otherwise you'll end up dead.

Feel real great, real positive.

Black lives matter, right?

I catch you niggas around here again,

next time I won't be so nice.

- Hey, I almost pulled a strap on this nigga, man.

I got kids.

- How this nigga gonna tell me

I can't hoop in my own hood?

This nigga crazy.

- Fuck!

Bitch ass niggas.

- Yo, I'm trying to figure out

where the fuck this nigga came from.

Just pop up out of nowhere.

Yo BK, you good, man?

- I'm straight.

- Man, fuck dude, alright?

Let's go record this video for your IG, alright?

Come on, man, come on.

Man, this gonna come my savage out.

[engine starting]

- Alright, let's get it together, bro.

Alright, let's get these ladies back on your side

before Monday, you ready?

Let's get it.

- What's going on Instagram family and friends,

I just wanted to come and first and foremost

thank you for all the love,

all the support, all the comments.

It's been a really rough 24 hours but no need to worry.

Monday morning I'll be on 96 Jams.

Make sure you tune in for that.

I'll be setting the record all the way straight.

Until then I will be turning off all my comments.

I just wanna keep my energy levels right.

I appreciate all the love.

Now, more importantly, y'all make sure you go get that

new Fax and Trans single "What Are You Doing?"

It's available on all your favorite streaming platforms.

I'll see you all Monday, peace.

- Yeah, we out.

- Let's get up out of here, man.

- This nigga think he cool, man.

- You know I taught him he knows.

- Oh really?

- He was a little nerd back in undergrad

before he rolled with me sophomore year.

- What happened after that?

- Yeah man, he on the radio.

Yeah, BK is on the radio.

Yeah, there you go, yeah, turn it on.

O-N, turn it on, press, there we go.

- We're ready for you now, Mr. King.

Right this way.

- Mr. King!

So glad you could stop by.

I wish it was under better circumstances though.

- P, you know me, can I get the benefit of the doubt?

Can I get a hug?

- Mm-hmm, you lucky we go way back

to when you was throwing the parties at Cory's place.

- Yeah, y'all like those parties.

- So tell me it's not true, friend.

- Look P, let's just get on the air,

'cause honestly I'm tired of telling the story

over and over again.

But I really do appreciate you bringing me on.

- You know I got you.

And where's Cyrus crazy ass these days?

That boy is so stupid.

- Miss P, we go live in five.

- I hope you're ready. - Four, three, two.

- Good morning, Atlanta, it's your girl Miss P with the T

and my guest is in the building to spill it.

Live from the studio we have the Vice President of A&R

at one of the fastest growing music labels in the city,

Mr. Bakari King from Theory Records is in the building

and in case you have been hiding under a rock

than you have probably seen the post on social media

that his wife Imani has posted

and for reference sake, I'm just gonna read it verbatim.

I usually don't get this personal online

but I feel like I should share my truth

with some other women around the world

who may be going through the same thing

in their relationship.

Me and my husband Bakari have been married for almost a year

and we just started trying to have a baby.

Nobody has ever made me as happy as him, aw.

I thought he was perfect until we got into a fight

a few weeks ago.

I won't get into any details but he lost his temper

and put his hands on me.

Well them sure sound like details to me.

It was a side of him that I had never seen before.

I been in an abusive relationship before

and I promised myself I would never let it happen again.

I've adopted a zero tolerance policy

and that's how I've lived ever since.

So I left my husband and our brand new house, really?

Because I needed to be sure that this situation

is what's best for me.

Anyone who's in a similar situation,

I want you to know that you are not alone.

Do what you have to do for you.

Love you babies.

Okay well, Mr. King, welcome to the show.

- Thanks for having me, P.

- Now 96 Jams and Mr. King have a little history, Atlanta.

BK, well that's what the boss man used to call him

because his name was too long,

BK was an intern here way before he was out

discovering your latest rappers.

So he's like extended family to us

and so now you know we had to get him in here.

- I appreciate you.

- Okay so listen, I'm gonna shut my mouth

and just tell me what's going on, friend.

- P, you know and a lot of my followers

know me or know of me.

It's crazy what's being said.

I love women.

I support women.

80% of my staff at the label, they're women.

So honestly it's really hard to see and hear

all these comments on social media,

people calling me a woman beater,

just saying that I don't have any respect,

saying I took it too far and that's just not me.

I'm none of those things.

My wife is telling the truth.

I did lose my temper

and I did touch her in a way that was too aggressive.

What I should've done was just talked, communicated,

asked questions, taken a step back when I was calm.

But no scars or bruises, nothing like that,

no cops were called, it wasn't a fight

and I didn't beat up my wife.

It was just two passionate people

that let things get out of hand.

[phone ringing]

I just made a terrible decision.

But you know me, P,

I'm not really one to get too into my personal business

so I'm not gonna take any calls

or answer any questions or anything like that

but I will say this,

Imani, you're my friend, you're my wife.

I love you and I just want you to come home.

I'm saying it in front of the whole world.

- Mm, Imani, forgive him, girl.

He is out here looking too pitiful.

And you know he too fine to be single.

Well thank you for stopping by, Bakari.

Even though you walking out on all these phone calls.

We gonna take a pause for the cause

and when we come back we will have new music

from Theory Records camp, B-H in Fax and Trans,

what are you doing up next in three minutes, 96 Jams.

So how you just gonna leave my listeners like that?

- Look, I gotta get to the office.

There's a lot of work that needs to be done

and I'm really not trying to stick around

and hear the hate right now.

I already had to turn my comments off on IG.

- Well you know how that goes, you hood famous.

[grunting]

- It's good to see you.

- Look man, this too shall pass.

- I know, thanks, P.

- This bitch ain't tell me nothing.

- Hello?

- Girl, why I gotta hear this drama on the radio?

You ain't be answering my calls or texts.

I had to call Carra and she acting all mysterious and shit.

And she told me you was over Dre house though.

You fucking Dre?

- Y'all don't call me, Missy,

let me clear this shit up real quick.

I did not sleep with Dre.

I crashed over there a couple days

'cause I knew BK would be calling all the hotels and shit.

- So y'all ain't fuck.

- No bitch, no.

- Bitch.

- What'd I just say?

- Okay, that's cap, anyway, about the interview BK did,

what the hell you talking about?

- You didn't see my Instagram post?

- Imani, you know I'm on social media detox.

Damn, I'm missing everything.

He beat your ass?

You know I'll come air that bitch out.

- Mm-mm, girl, calm down.

He ain't beat me up but he did put his hands on me.

- Okay so he slapped you, punched you, what?

- No, he came in the house drunk

and we was kind of arguing.

He put his hands around my throat,

I had to get him up off me.

- Damn, wait, so was this after

y'all ran into Dre at the restaurant?

- How do you know about that?

- Uh, Jordan, duh, so did you really think

he was gonna hurt you?

- I don't know, I didn't think so before

but now I'm not sure.

He just scared me.

- Oh damn, boo, he don't seem like the type.

But did he apologize?

- He keep trying but I ain't really trying to talk to him.

He popping up at Carra house and shit.

- Oh, so you're not gonna forgive him?

- See y'all keep saying that, y'all just don't get it.

- Imani, I remember what you went through so I understand.

- Y'all really think y'all some hood therapists.

I'm not even talking about what Trap did to me.

I think I might be pregnant.

- Hey yes!

- Don't tell nobody, bitch.

- Lips are zipped.

- I'm for real.

- Me too, you been feeling sick, throwing up?

Oh, Bakari don't even know.

- Slow down.

I just been feeling a little off

so I'm gonna take a test.

I just don't know what I'm gonna do.

I love him but this little incident,

I just never seen him like this before.

- Well take the test before you start stressing

'cause if you are pregnant

we're gonna have to kill all this little drama.

It's not good for the baby

and let me get on my mama shit.

It was dumb for you to make that post.

He still your husband and now possibly your baby daddy.

- You know what, ever since we got together

it's been BK, BK, BK, like a bitch invisible or something.

- You know that's not how I meant it.

Whether you like it or not,

y'all are in the public eye now.

Every little thing you say online,

it's gonna be under microscope.

So just saying choose your posts wisely.

That shit never goes away.

- Okay, thank you, talk to you later.

- What, you got an attitude now?

- Bye!

- This bitch.

She pregnant.

- I'm not even gonna be petty about you standing me up

'cause I heard you on the radio this morning.

- Tabi, I apologize.

It's just so much shit going on right now.

- I understand.

I saw the infamous post.

Bakari, I know you're not that guy, you could never be.

- I'm glad someone knows it.

- Can I ask you something?

I was wondering how long you and your wife been together

because I remember a particular day party.

We were so happy to see each other,

we had margaritas, we walked back to the hotel

and made love the entire afternoon, it was beautiful.

- Oh, 'cause I remember.

I remember going to sleep and waking up to a note

and you leaving me, ghost again,

and some Polaroid of me sleeping, real cute.

If I'm being completely honest,

that was the day I made the decision

to propose to Imani 'cause I knew me and you were a wrap.

- Wow, that's kind of deep.

I had an early flight and I didn't wanna wake you.

Bakari, I still wanna be your friend.

- You know what, Tabi?

I'm tired of being nice

and I'm tired of playing this little game.

I don't wanna be your friend

and I'm not gonna sit here and pretend

like everything is okay and it's not.

You really fucked me up, you broke my heart.

To be honest, the only reason I keep letting you

come back around is 'cause I hope you,

it doesn't even matter.

- Yeah, wow, tonight has been perfect.

- And that's kind of why I wanted to make sure the time

was right before I did this,

make sure you're done with your finals and everything first.

Tabitha,

I haven't stopped smiling since the first day we met

and no woman has truly ever made me happy

and honestly, I've never felt this way about anyone before.

- BK-- - Just let me finish.

You didn't judge me based on my reputation.

You never gave up on me when I was damn near

was wanting to give up on myself.

And to be honest, the way I feel in this moment,

I want to feel like this forever with you.

So, will you marry me?

Well?

- Um, BK, can I think about it?

- Think about it?

Okay.

- I'm sorry, I just need more time.

- Tabitha, I'm really fucking confused right now.

We talk about marriage all the time.

What?

- Let's talk about this in the morning.

Tonight has been perfect and I don't wanna ruin it.

Let's just go home.

[soft music]

BK, last night was perfect.

You did everything right.

I love you with all my heart

but I'm just not ready, Tabi.

- Look Tabi--

- It's obvious your wife doesn't see the king in you

like I always did.

- Tabi, what do you want from me?

- I want you to be there for me like you've always been.

- I'm married now.

Like that shit is over and done with.

- I know and that scares me.

- Oh, so I guess I'm like this security blanket, huh?

Makes sense.

Why I only hear from you when you're in town.

What, to eat, have a place to crash, some dick.

- Bakari, I know I made a mistake.

I should've tried to make it work.

But I'm not gonna apologize for taking control

of my own destiny.

But, I still want you.

In the risk of being too bold,

if things don't work out, I'm here.

And I wasn't ready then but I'm more than ready for you now.

- Okay.

[coughing]

- First time?

- No.

- Yes. - Yes.

- Take your time.

Why you sitting all the way over there

like you scared of me or something?

- Are you like a drug dealer or something?

- I do what I gotta do.

Don't you worry about that.

Talk to your boss about me yet?

- Yeah, I have an idea.

I want you to come with me to this party tomorrow.

I'll explain everything then.

- Alright, I can do that.

- No.

[soft music]

- Is this a check?

That's a lot of zeroes.

Is this real?

[speaker voice muffled]

Yes sir, woohoo.

[chattering]

- I could help you, me and my lady bought this,

it cost a couple hundred thousand.

I could hook you up with my realtor, bro.

But forget Legal Zoom, call legal Kurt,

I can get you hooked up.

Matter of fact, I'm gonna hit you back later.

Gimme a call, okay?

- What's up, my guy?

- Hey man, hey bro, I heard you on the radio the other day.

- Yeah. - Very PC, real PC, man.

- Yeah, I know, man,

to be honest, I really wish something else would go viral

so we could be done with this

and this would just blow over, everybody move on.

But you know there was no way I was gonna miss

the annual Kurt Floyd Fourth of July kickback.

- Kurt kickback, it's that hashtag.

- Hey love bug, hi.

- You're looking good, what's up?

- BK, here, here.

- Hey Sid, how you doing?

- I should be asking you that.

What's up with you and Imani?

Y'all trying to get on a reality show or something?

- Stop it, 'cause unfortunately

this is my real life right now.

- Oh, so sounds like you need

to keep your hands to yourself, tough guy.

- Chill, Sid.

- No, you need to chill, little Ike Turner.

- Baby, why you gotta be like that?

Why don't you go have--

- No, no, no, Kurt, I got questions.

I heard you on the radio but I need the real.

- It's cool, Kurt.

I literally had to have this little exchange

with every woman that I come in contact with.

But Sid, you've known me for a very long time.

You know that's not me.

- Well, something must've happened for her to post it.

- Her posting it was nothing but an attention grab, cap.

It wasn't no cry for help.

- But what if it is a cry for help?

See, that's your problem.

Y'all always dismissing and minimizing a woman's experience.

- Why you pointing at me, we married, we good.

- All of y'all, all of y'all!

- You know what, believe what you want.

I'm tired of defending myself.

Like I said, you've known me for almost 10 years.

That's not me.

- People change.

- God, it's really good to see you, Sid.

- Why you always start stuff with people, babe?

- If I wanna ask a question in my house

I'm gonna ask a question.

- We on the rooftop.

You step on my Versailles.

- [Sid] I'm sorry.

- We're gone buddy, look ain't you.

- [Bakari] What's up y'all?

- What's up, bro? - What's up, BK?

- So what you and Sid over there talking about?

- Man, you know Sidney,

grilling my ass as always.

- Man, you already know she was gonna say something.

- Got to know.

- I'm tired, I'm tired of talking about

this situation as a whole, I'm spent, I'm done.

- Look man, it's gonna blow over, okay.

On another note,

have you checked the SoundScan numbers, bro?

It is going off.

Fax and Trans, they're going off right here.

Look, check this out, look at that shit.

- Dope, dope.

- Man, where the women at?

Damn, Sidney ain't got no friends coming through?

I'm just saying it's looking

really sausage fest in here right now.

- Hey, to be completely honest,

I'm cool with that right now 'cause as of late,

women have been nothing but trouble for me.

A second ago, me and Imani was good.

In love, buying a new house, trying to have a baby.

Now she gone.

Tatiana got me walking on eggshells at work.

And Tabitha, oh my God, woo!

- What?

- Tabitha popped up again

and this time it kind of really got out of hand.

- Got out of hand like how?

- Out of hand like what, nigga?

- Come on, spit it out, damn, dramatic ass boy.

- Thank you!

- I almost cheated.

- How the hell you almost cheat, nigga?

- Right? - Come on now.

- I'm saying, I was literally pulling the panties down.

And then Tatiana buzzed my phone

talking bout she needed me in the office for something.

Snapped me back into reality real quick.

- Wait, wait a minute, how you let it get this far?

- She came into the office stroking my ego,

talking bout how much she miss me, want to get back together

and the conversation just got deep.

Like on some nostalgia shit.

- See, see, didn't I tell you, bro?

I told you she was up to something.

- You did tell me.

- Well why you ain't tell me?

- Bro, when it comes to Tabitha,

ain't one of us ever been able to tell you shit.

- Facts, nigga!

- Damn, I would've fucked.

- Don't start, Lance.

- But why?

I'm just saying your wife left you

like you don't have no other options.

I say you might as well show her what the fuck you got.

- Lance, because I'm not trying to play those games no more.

Case in point, why I got married.

- Your wife seems to be playing all the games right now.

- I'm gonna be honest with you, bro,

ain't no more advice given on this,

ain't nothing I could give you.

All the predictions I came up with for Imani was wrong.

Okay, alright, it's bothering me now.

It's up to God. - It's above him.

- It's up to God, praise the Lord.

- Praise the Lord.

- Praise him, praise him. - Whatever.

- What you looking for? - Damn.

I'll be back, man, I left my damn phone in the car.

[chattering]

- Hey, hey, which one of y'all niggas

try to get [speaker voice muffled]

He drunk, he had too much to drink.

He got baby thought, baby long, baby ear.

Hey come on, come on!

Come on over here!

- Thank you for coming.

Excited.

What?

- You look good.

- Thank you.

- Where we at?

What's up with your boss?

- That's part of the surprise.

You're about to meet him, he's here.

- Okay, got little hustle in you, I like that.

- Tatiana, what the fuck is this?

- You know this nigga?

- What's happening here?

- Tatiana, why are you with this nigga?

- I don't think that's any of your business, Mr. King.

- Hold up, hold up, this your boss?

- Y'all know each other?

- You don't got your little weak ass crew

with you this time.

- And that don't change nothing either.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey, whoa.

Yo, what's going on here?

- Nothing, we just talking.

- Just hurry up, keep it moving.

- Will do, thanks officer.

- Yo Tatiana, I'm not about to go to jail

fucking with this nigga.

He's not welcome here.

- But Cyrus invited me.

- Yo I say what I said.

- We're going upstairs.

- Don't jeopardize your position

at this label for this nigga.

- You should worry about your position.

- Yo, what the fuck are you on right now?

Let me make it clear.

If you take him upstairs, you're fired.

- Oh Mr. King, you might want to rethink that.

- Yo, you been recording me?

So what's your plan?

What, blackmail me or something?

- Blackmail is such an ugly word.

I just want a job.

When my internship is over,

I want a stunning recommendation

and a guaranteed job at the label.

Otherwise I could just forward these videos

to the heads of the label.

Or oh, the blogs.

They probably would pay for this.

- Do it.

Post it.

Email it.

Text whoever you want

'cause what you don't understand about me

is I'm built for this shit.

Don't let these little suits and button ups fool you.

I'm from the swats.

You think I give a fuck about some gossip

and bitch ass niggas on social media?

You think that can break me?

Nobody can stop me.

Not you and not this nigga.

So send it to the label heads.

They fire me, fuck it, I'll start my own fucking label.

'Cause that's just the type of nigga that I am.

I'm gonna get it regardless.

My reputation's in the toilet anyways.

So send it to the blogs, I can handle it.

But the question is do you have the heart

for the backlash, little girl?

So again, let me be clear.

You take this nigga upstairs and you're fired.

Matter of fact, you're fired anyway.

So come to the office tomorrow morning and get your shit.

You record that?

My wife told me you was with the shit.

I should've listened.

You're safe with me, I promise.

But if you're pregnant, and it's like you're pretty pretty,

then you need to be here with me.

You know that I'm right.

And if I have to I will come and get you.

I want you and our baby here with me.

We don't have to talk about what happened.

We don't have to revisit it, relive it.

We can just move on.

But Imani, come home.

♪ You hold me down

♪ Waiting, waiting, hope I don't drown

♪ Baby, baby, you got me caught all

♪ Got me starstruck

[lyrics muffled]

♪ If you need somebody

♪ Then you gotta be somebody

♪ Don't need me no more

♪ I go all the way

♪ Thinking about you every single night and day

♪ When I'm on the raw

♪ You all I want

♪ You ain't me

♪ In the city

♪ In the streets

[hip hop music]

Hey Imani, I just wanted to talk to you.

Since I haven't talked to you.

I just been wondering how you doing.

Wondering where you are sometimes.

I know we don't always see eye to eye on everything

but just know I know what it is.

I know what it was.

♪ Feel like I'm thirsty

♪ Missing how your water was dripping

♪ How you work on me whenever we kissing

♪ How you used to laugh when I would ask about your past

♪ My only intention was to listen

♪ So I'd never have to make you relive it

♪ I ain't got as much as them, but my half we can split it

♪ Wasn't always home while dinner's

♪ Being made in the kitchen

♪ I know I'm busy, got you feeling like

♪ I can't be forgiven

♪ I know it makes you sad

♪ You contemplating staying and tipping

♪ I'm sorry you fucked with the one

♪ That was creating the tension

♪ It's killing me now reminiscing

♪ I'm just playing position

♪ In these streets, running, chasing these riches

♪ Once you left [lyrics muffled]

♪ Your friends just happened to mention

♪ You told her you uncomfortable

♪ And that's how I was ignoring the signals

♪ Take it from me texting out of hand

♪ Thinking you serious

♪ You ain't capping you just acting

♪ And I'm acting delirious

- [Bakari] I'm sorry if I made you

feel uncomfortable or I made you feel

like I was pressuring you to do something

you didn't wanna do.

I know you love your independence.

I know you got your own thing going on

so just know that while you out I'm thinking about you.

It's hard not to think about you.

All the little things I remember.
