- Wait, hold up, hold up.

Your newest project is about to drop

and it's your birthday weekend.

Oh, you out here living your best life.

- T, I don't know.

This birthday, it just feels different.

Honestly, I don't even know how to feel.

You know, your girl Kiaira

I'm sure she gon' make this birthday about her.

Planning some event, marketing PR.

You know her, the BS.

- I hope that changes 'cause this is a big album for you.

- And it's kinda dope that it falls on your birthday weekend.

- Man, I guess I can't lie.

That is kinda lit.

- Shit!

It's gon' be a crazy promo and tour season

if this how they comin' just for the interview?

- Come on, they know what's up.

Think about it, T.

This my first album in six years.

They don't know nothing about anticipation.

I'm gonna have these hoes finger for me.

- Facts.

- You that nigga, boss.

- That's what y'all say.

- Yeah, you that nigga.

But boss, I gotta get you inside.

Let me get your door.

- All right, Ray, let's do it, bro.

- All right.

I can't even pick up my own clothes.

- How's the new album?

Will, Will, can you make a comeback?

- Will. - Will, Will, Will.

Oh my God, you're amazing. What about Jordan?

- What you say? - Step out.

- What you say? - Step out, we gotta go.

We gotta go, we gotta go.

Let's move.

- Nah, what'd she say?

- Come on, don't worry about all that.

Come on, come on. We gotta move.

Come on. We gotta move.

- Yo, I'm just trying to figure out where she got that from.

Rodney, bro.

Bro, you're not gonna believe this.

nigga, I just heard the paparazzi ask about me

and Jordan.

- Man, stop.

Ain't nobody know about you or Jordan.

Man, you're tripping.

- Bro, I'm telling you I know what I heard.

And I heard the paparazzi say it.

- What about you and Jordan?

- I heard it.

They forgot my PH water.

What's going on?

Bro, focus.

Will okay, my bad daddy.

Look, what's up man.

It's good to see you.

Look, you know, I'm here for you and you know why I'm here.

I'm here to get you booked, laid and paid baby man

just stay focused man.

Nobody know about you and Jordan

you good man.

- Cancel the interview, cancel

I ain't in the mood for Kamilah and her antics.

You know she's still mad at me

for ghosting her way back in 05.

- You got caught with your pants down.

Like literally.

- Shit, Got damn.

Your eggplant is everywhere, bro.

This worse than Kevin Hart.

- So we're making jokes about my career now.

- No man, just...

Let's just, just breathe daddy.

Just breathe.

- I can't even deny it.

- And that's just the business.

It's just a business man.

- Who put the camera in the room.

- You're right.

- How did the camera get in here?

- It's a mystery a foot

They were on some super Ninja CIA spy type shit.

I wonder what kind of camera that was.

- Rodney how you so nonchalant about this?

Well, first of all, for starters, it's not me.

- Wow.

- Secondly, all press is good press

that you know.

- No, you must've forgot about Thick.

His last album was bomb and it's still flopped.

- Oh, you got a point 'bout that.

Look, you got five minutes to get ready

for this Kamilah Trill interview.

Look, daddy, you be good man.

I'll see you out there.

- Today on the show we have

a multi-platinum selling heartthrob of our generation.

The amazing and now controversial Will Clay.

- Thank you for having me Kamilah.

It was always dope coming down here,

checking you out at Epic.

How was your first ride?

- listen, you know

we have to put that into perspective for the people.

You were my first major interview as a journalist.

- Yeah I mean, what else could I have been talking about?

- Well, let's cut to the chase.

You're back with the new album.

What's next, is slated to be your comeback project.

But critics are all wondering whether or not it will live

up to the success of your previous releases.

- I mean I know it's a lot going

on in the media as of this morning

but I can take it.

You know, when I think my fans are going

to be thoroughly pleased

with what we got going for them on the album.

- You sound very confident about your new album.

- Well I mean, my paps always told me,

even if you got to smile

through bad situations to smile and get through them.

- Speaking of difficult situations.

You were recently caught

on tape with the pop star, Jordan Holmes.

How does your girlfriend Kiaira K feel about that?

She can't be handling that well.

- Kamilah, we're right here, we're going there already!

- I can't hold back with my first, right?

- Listen Kamilah.

- I love Kiaira always will.

And that's that?

So my new single "Ain't Just Sex".

I'm actually performing it

for the first time tonight in Philly.

So you actually should come through.

Everybody's invited to come and check it out.

- Will, are you deflecting?

- No.

- Just talking about what matters.

- Right, what's up baby

- Let's welcome Kiaira K publicist

to the stars to the show.

So you are saying this happens.

- No, what we're saying is we wanna focus

on the album, not the negativity.

- Okay, so when was the first time

that you cheated on Kiaira?

Was this recently?

- Kamilah, can we focus on the album, please.

- Why don't you just tell the truth.

- Kamilah, it didn't happen.

Okay he did not cheat on me.

I know Will, that video was old long before he

and I even got together.

- Will, why don't you just admit that you made a mistake?

We all know you're not perfect.

Even though you pretend to be.

- I asked you not to discuss this.

I have not cheated on Kiaira.

Now please can we keep back to the interview

before I turn into a meme on this show.

- And we'll be right back

after this commercial break with the Kamilah Trill Show.

- Kamilah, what the hell is wrong with you?

You set me up.

- Told you that nothing was

off the table, stop tryna people please.

And just admit not just

to her and your fans, but to yourself.

- Look Kamilah.

We're trying to give you an opportunity to fix

this like a professional

or if you'd like for me to step out of character

I can drag you across a little gossip show.

- Oh, excuse me.

You're threatening me for telling

the truth about Will's foolery.

Everyone knows that Will has been cheating

on you for years Kiaira

The whole industry knows.

- Come on she's lying Ki. She one of the ones

- Cheating with who?

- This is business and ratings are going to be ratings.

Whether or not you wanna pretend

that the whole world didn't see him

and Jordan on tape.

Or let's not R Kelly this situation.

Just tell the truth Will.

- Listen Kamilah, what I do and don't do

don't got shit to do with you. Aight.

But please don't forget who I am.

- You're delusional.

You're everybody's business.

You're a public figure.

And you screwed up royally.

- We are about to come from commerical show, places everybody.

- Either you talk or you leave either way

I'm gonna be reporting your news, Mr. Perfect.

- Okay cool.

Actually, Kamilah, I got a story for you.

Kiss my ass.

- Ooh, word?

- And we're back from our commercial break with Kiaira K.

Girl let's talk.

- Let's talk.

- Hey Dad.

- Son how're you doing?

- I heard about what's going on.

♪ Happy birthday to you

♪ Happy birthday to you

♪ Happy birthday William Clay Gregory the Third ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you

We love you, Will.

We saw your interview on the TV and I thought you said

that Kamilah girl was your friend.

She seemed a little rude if you asked me.

- Mom she was just doing he job.

I mean honestly.

Everybody wanted her to go hard and then that on me.

So I think I came out pretty good.

- Anyway it's just uncomfortable

for us to see you go under so much pressure on national TV.

- Speaking of pressure Will. How's Kiaira

you know, dealing with all this.

- You knew her handled the business

and cleaning up the mess.

- Alright.

Well, tell her, I asked for, I got to go check on the mac and cheese.

- Hey Will, you still here?

- I'm still here Pops.

- Look here now I know you're dealing

with something that I can't even understand.

Fame and life in the limelight.

You got everyone up in your business.

That could be overwhelming now

now just remember your foundation and put your trust in God.

Thank you dad.

I needed to hear that right about now.

- You always got a home here, all right?

If you need to come back here

and you need a break and leave that popstar bunnies alone.

- Okay dad.

- And don't forget.

Think about what I said.

- Mommy loves you Will.

- I love y'all too.

- I know y'all done heard what happened

what happened on Kamilah Trill today?

Will Clay, ya boy dropped the ball

on live television and Kamila pressed him

about him cheating on his fiance with Jordan Holmes.

- Embarrassing.

- Let tell you, we got all the tea today.

- Totally, totally unacceptable and embarrassing.

But what do you expect from a guy like Will Clay?

- You just don't like him.

- No, it's not that I don't like him.

It's just that

like I said, I judge people by their actions.

- Yes.

- Okay, his action is showing time

and time again that he's a piece of shit.

That's it.

He's a piece of shit and I'm not surprised.

Okay, you're surprised?

- I can give him a little bit more credit

than you're giving him.

- I'm not surprised at all.

What I am surprised is that Kiaira is coming to his defense.

Like why is she coming to his defense

when he cheated on her?

That's crazy to me.

- So black women, we do have to stop doing this.

We have to stop putting ourselves

as the sacrifice in front of black men.

She should have just let him and left his ass out there

and let him do whatever he needed to do and catch that L.

- Apparently now I'm no moral authority.

Okay, but I can call out.

Definitely, I can call out low character.

When I see it now, Kiaira needs to leave him

instead of coming to his defense.

- Black men, don't cheat, that's what they say.

Unfortunately this one did

'cause they got the footage to prove it,

baby I done seen that thang.

And it's crazy.

But to be honest, this is probably a publicity stunt.

That Kiaira has set up in order

to help promote his new album.

Cause that's what we're all talking about him now.

- No, no, no.

It's not a publicity stunt.

Okay, alright.

What do you expect from Will the heartthrob

- I can give him more credit than you give him.

- No, trust me.

He's not gonna be faithful to anyone but himself.

It's just, it is what it is.

See things for what they are it is what it is.

- Look, I couldn't really tell if it was him.

It was kind of like that, you know?

- It was him.

- Okay, I guess look, we got the tea everyday,

all day on TKA.

See you guys next time.

I'm your girl Mona.

- I'm your boy, Justin.

- Justin don't like Will Clay,

but we out here love you guys, peace.

- Check it out.

- What?

- What y'all think.

- Think about what, why are we here?

What is this?

- This is my inspiration for my next video.

For "Ain't Just Sex" came down here.

I was looking

at it and I'm like, this is the direction I'm trying to go.

- Okay first of all, we need to be focusing

on getting in front

of this Kamilah Trill interview

and this Jordan Holmes video.

- This is my way of getting in front of it.

With the music. I'm telling you

It's doper than it looks.

Rod, What you think?

I don't know man. I kind of like the smoke,

baby oil...girls.

- nigga nigga.

I just got in trouble for that.

No, come on a slap in the face to the fans.

If I did something like that, promoting sex.

I'm thinking now, imagine it lit

up electric. I'm telling you. Will Clay, "Ain't Just Sex".

We need to focus on the real

Okay, you can hump all the lil groupies that you want.

That's our deal.

That's fine.

But now it's in the public eye

and you embarrass the hell out of me on national TV.

Ki, I didn't know anyone was going to record it. Come on.

Oh, so now it's the person that taped its problem.

You were sloppy.

And Jordan of all people

- I don't know.

- Take a picture.

Show these people that we're still together.

Aye, good thinking.

and

- I'll post this...tag Kamilah's show.

Maybe it'll take care of some of

the backlash from today's debacle

In the meantime, I called you a car. Go home, wash the smug

of your face and dress like you're the life of the party.

I don't wanna do all that

You don't have a choice right now

this album has to pop.

You've destroyed all of my footwork for you to bust a nut.

Okay you're going to shake hands

and you're gonna kiss as much ass you have to.

- So now I'm just a monkey in a cage.

- You gotta do what you gotta do

you are the one that messed up.

- Wow. - Let's go.

Hey, you!

Happy birthday Will Clay Gregory or is it Mr. Super star.

- Look I saw your your dumb self on Kamilah Trill

Why you ain't come back after the commercial break.

Look I get it. But it was already out there.

You should have just got ahead of it.

Instead of acting like we all see bunny hopping

with your Jordan.

Girl, you know that wasn't me

Who I look like?

Stop reaching for everyone's approval

If I can love you all these years.

So can everyone else.

- You're really funny.

- Now can you

- I mean. Clearly not everywhere.

- Please you wish.

- Maybe.

- Anyway, bye Will.

- Bye Shardae.

Thank you for calling me.

Hey, ya'll.

Yo! What's up

- Look I just got off the phone with Will not too long ago.

And I was thinking that we can go by and surprise him.

Sounds good. Let's bounce.

Uh, whatever we do I'm going to need one of y'all to

spot me because my pockets on lean right now.

Child support...

Oooh, you are so handsome.

- I knew you would look amazing in this.

- Ki, what you do?

- Send out a casting call

for the industry's most smug and elite.

It's my birthday.

Do I even know any of these people?

Or are they your little money team?

- Cut it out, Will

Okay, doing you a favor.

I filled this room

with the industry's deepest pockets for you

What you need to do is be grateful and play your role.

Now, turn it on

Now please take your ratchet friends to the side.

And shuffle back to the hood where you came from

There you are babe, I was looking for you.

Tonight was amazing, right?

Oh my God I'm so excited.

So now we just need to focus

on promoting the album, the tour,

oh, and dodging the press.

We don't need any more mess.

I booked some studio times tomorrow

be a little bit late, but just stick to the plan

with the producers okay?

- Now for real, why you ain't invite my friends.

- Baby, I'm so sorry.

It won't happen again.

- You see this stuff, but you'd be lying.

- I'm not lying.

- Yeah, you love to lie.

- No I don't.

But you don't mind if I lie and it benefits you, come here.

- Stop it, just saying I'm not in the mood.

- I didn't ask if you were in the mood.

♪ so early in the morning, or the evening,

♪ Or late afternoon

- That's your fire, right?

- Hell yeah.

But who laid down in reference?

That is Staci G.

We were working on it for a while now.

You want me to go get her out of studio B?

- Yo is she signed, 'cause if she ain't signed

I think I'm gonna need to get her for my new label.

- Yo, I've been telling her that you would love her style.

She reminds me of you. I'ma go get her.

- Alright.

- Will baby girl, Staci G.

Staci it's the homie Will Clay.

Staci I just played him the track

that you referenced for him.

Yo I'm telling you she's the next Lauryn Hill.

- Yo, this is crazy.

It is so amazing to meet you.

Like I grew up listening to you.

So for you to be standing here is insane.

You're like one of my greatest inspiration

- But first of all, grew up come on.

Don't make me feel so old.

How old are you anyway?

- 18.

- Okay maybe I am old.

Oh, what was I doing when I was 18?

I think I was just signing my first deal.

- Yo, Stacy plays the hell out of the guitar too.

And that's all I got plugged to her.

I wanted a guitarist and I was looking for a lady

so everybody recommended Staci.

- Okay so you play the guitar and you sing.

Question?

You're trying to be a musician

or you're trying to be an artist?

- An artist for sure.

- Okay, okay.

You got any more original music I can hear.

- Well I've been producing with my iPad since I was like 15

and Mell has been working me for months now.

- Staci, I know you just didn't tell me

you've been producing on the iPad.

Bro man times have truly changed.

For real.

I got an idea though.

Staci G how would you feel about opening up for Will Clay?

On my new world tour, and possibly sign into my new label?

- What, hell yeah I'm with all of that.

- Okay, that's what I like to hear

but I'm gonna tell you this though.

I ain't going to go easy on you.

Cause that just ain't the Will Clay way.

- You better not go easy.

Cause it wasn't nobody easy on you.

You already know.

- Oh, look, I'm here for all of it.

But I was wondering

would you be willing to sing the song that I referenced

for Rell as a duet instead of by yourself?

- Staci G and Will Clay.

Yo, I think I'm here for that.

Let's go cut it now.

You got to show me all those riffs and runs you was doing.

- Not a priority, short term, instant cash.

I've told you that.

- Okay alright.

- Hey, yo, yo!

Yo y'all killed it, y'all killed it.

Yessir,

You know her. Ki, look I wanted you to meet her.

- Who is this and what is she doing here?

Yo, this is my home girl, Staci.

Lemme play you something.

♪ I don't need steak and eggs,

♪ Or breakfast in bed,

♪ 'Cause you always keep me satisfied, ♪

Where y'all fin this one at?

Wouldn't you like to know.

Ki, I wanna sign her.

- Why it's one track don't be so impulsive William?

You just heard the song.

You thought it was good.

I mean, come on.

She's exactly what we looking for.

- Hi, I can't believe I'm in the same room with Will Clay

and Kiaira K.

- And we can't believe we're in the same room

as Staci G G, G.

- Stop stop don't embarrass me.

- Ki I told you, look, we got to sign her.

- I mean, that wasn't bad.

I mean she does have some raw talent here.

- With a little direction

you could be somebody make sure to get information, okay?

- I got you.

You'll get it before you leave.

Come on, let's get something to eat.

Talk to me baby, come on.

You can come too!

She was good baby.

Check this out. I got a little gift for you.

Ooouu is it the new Tesla?

- Hey guys.

What's up?

To all my home bodies out there.

Thank you for holding me down and having my back.

Cause these last couple of weeks have been crazy.

People have been calling out my name.

Paparazzi is harassing me

and my family everywhere I go about

rumors and lies.

Look I just want to set the record straight.

Okay Will and I are just friends.

The footage isn't recent, and he's actually like...

He's like a mentor

and there hasn't been anything between us

I respect him and Kiaira's relationship

and I expect y'all to do the same.

Okay on another note, my single's coming out.

- What?

Babe.

- You're welcome.

- Oh, how'd you do that?

- I got my sources.

- That's talking about my baby Kiaira K

Ooh, ooh ooh come here Kiaira K Ooh, Ooh!

Hey come on, let's go.

K.

You're a fool

- Goodnight.

Sorry we're closed.

- Perfect timing.

- What you're doing here?

I'm vindicated, baby.

- I see things must be going good

if you're doing a surprise pop ups

on your friends.

- Come on, Shardae I said I'm sorry.

- So you just came to kick it

or apologize for the other day.

- I actually came to talk to you.

I need a little bit of advice or something.

And I know he wanted a few people in my life.

We're actually gonna keep it one hundred with me.

All right, wassup?

You know how rough stuff been going lately.

And I just been thinking about getting older

as an artist and what I'm going to do after this.

And I know I'm not too old yet

but I've been doing this for a long time

and it's really starting to take a toll on me.

- You in your feelings again, talking

about taking a break from your music.

Is that what you really want to do?

- Not all the way, look check it out.

So I met this artist's name, Staci G,

And she is cold, she's lit

When I tell you she just got the IT factor

and it dawned on me.

Maybe I could develop an artist.

I'm more than just my voice.

- So what y'all going to be

like a Rick James and Teena Marie.

You got jokes. See girl you always playing too much.

- No I'm going sign her.

I'm a develop her, write with her,

create a classic album and bow out as Will

artist and welcome as Will the executive.

- It's ambitious I like it.

You know I'll support your stuff.

Oh, thank you!

- So is Kiaira cool with this?

- What'd you think about last night?

- What sex?

- No Stacey G at the studio.

- Why are we talking about this now?

I'm ready to go upstairs for round two.

- Because it's just been

on my mind heavy and I'm want to make sure we lock her

down before we lose her.

- Look, she was good and all well, but we need to focus

on you and getting you locked into this long-term deal.

That's money on the table now.

- I just think about it.

Staci could be the key to getting our record label

off the ground and I could retire and maybe just transition

into working on her and me and you guess what we can do?

You can start a family.

You talking about retiring and becoming

a produ... Chile! Please.

you need to worry about singing.

And let me and Rodney worry about your career.

All right.

Wow!

I will see you later, family, man.

- Wow goodnight to you too.

- So Kiaira, isn't cool with it.

- Not the way she was talking.

- But would you do it without her?

- I don't know, I've been with Kiaira

and Rod for so long.

It's like, I couldn't even imagine my life,

or my career without them.

- Well you need to do what's best for you.

And sometimes Rodney and Kiaira

don't have your best interests in mind.

- Why are you so dope Shardae?

You've been literally one of the most consistent people

in my life.

- All your life, and best friends tell each other the truth.

And I don't want you to waking up one day

and just realizing that your purpose was right in front

of you.

You are more than a beautiful man that can sing.

- So you think I'm beautiful.

- Always ruining a tender moment with ya pretty ass.

- Hey baby.

- Rodney, how you doing man?

Thank you so much.

Thank you man.

I appreciate it.

Oh the good stuff, huh?

- Hey Steve.

You mind if I get another round of that?

Oh yeah.

Feel free to indulge.

- Yeah damn right.

- Especially you Will.

I'm gonna take this whole bottle home.

- So we want to commend you all.

Will, Rodney, and Kiaira for all

of your hard work and achievements and your new world tour

that we believe will be your best yet.

- Thank you so much.

It's shaping up to be pretty lit.

We all know by now that initially we had some doubts

onto whether or not we could get a good return

from an RnB album that seemed to speak

to only a certain demographic.

But ultimately, ultimately, you surpassed those expectations

with the creation of this new album.

- Your support means everything to us Steve,

thank you so much.

- So how about these contracts

cause that's why we're here tonight right?

That is why we're here, right?

- See, that's what I like about you.

You put your business first

- You know.

- So let me introduce you to Braxton McCall.

He is our bright new executive that was brought

over from the merger with BCMA.

- Think he was at the birthday party right?

- Yeah, he was.

So this is more like your second introduction.

- I recognize you man.

Good to see you.

- Good to see you.

Thank you, Steve.

Will, my sole purpose is to strengthen our partnership

with the deal that benefits us all

and takes your career to the next level.

So I'll be teaming up

with Kiaira and Rodney behind the scenes

to ensure that dream.

I think you'll be happy

with our very lucrative offer that far exceeds any offer

that any R&B artists would receive

in today's climate.

This agreement would take effect,

once you first step

on stage for your new world tour this summer.

- We want you to know how much you're valued Will.

- Damn, I mean, well, yes, this is good stuff.

- Will.

- I mean, it's a nice number, but it's a 360.

I don't do those.

- Look, I totally understand.

Look, 360's get a bad rep

but I still think you can see the benefits of this.

- Will everyone in this room knows how amazing you are

and all of the great talents that you possess.

Braxton and Steve, wanna make you the face

of their new merger and a major brand worldwide.

Our first priority is going to be getting you moved

from the East coast to LA,

where BMCA is finest agents are located

and getting you into the new artist development program.

- Wait what?

I just moved back.

Y'all want me to go back

and do what? I know y'all don't think Will Clay going

through anybody's artist

development program and actually did Kiaira tell y'all

that I'm actually not even sure

that I want to be an artist anymore.

I kind of want to get on a backend and do some producing.

- Will, I'm confused I just...

- Do you mind if we just had a moment with Will outside?

- Kiki look I know what I want.

I know what I want.

Okay, we'll be back.

- I don't know why y'all had to pull me out to meeting.

Being all dramatic.

- Somebody want to tell me

what the hell was that in there?

- That was Mr. Gregory over here wants

to leave all this money on the table.

So you can start his new record label

with his muse for the day, Staci G.

- Hold on.

Wait, Nobody thought it was important to tell me

that before we walked in there?

- Think about it y'all we don't need them.

The three of us, we know the game

but we also know music.

Add that with Staci well we got magic.

- Will, I get it, but it's a lot of commas in there, man.

- A lot of commas.

- Can we do both?

- Bro that's chump change compared to our work

Think about it.

If we get ownership

we're not living off the advances that the label given us.

It's a big picture move here, bro.

Come on.

You know what?

It's my career.

Y'all gotta do what I tell y'all to do because I pay y'all.

I write the checks.

So this is what I want.

This is what I'm going to go in there and make it happen.

That's all I'm saying.

- Relax, you're getting a little, worked up, calm down.

Let's talk about that.

- All right, listen Ki

you go in there, make something up.

- Make something up?

You guys?

Oh my God.

- You you go home, and go get some rest.

And we'll reconvene tomorrow.

We'll figure this out, okay?

- Rodney, Kiaira, this is deeper than what know.

I made a promise to my grandfather many years ago

at his grave that I would never settle.

And then I would always remember

that all things are possible

through Christ and y'all gotta make it happen.

- Okay, okay, I'll handle it and I'll make sure we take care

of what you need first and foremost, okay?

- Fix this.

- But listen, this is what I find interesting.

I always took Will Clay to be selfish.

Like he's like a pretty boy.

- Cause he is.

He definitely is.

But, it looked like he wanted

to do something a little bit more than sing apparently.

Ya know my sources tells me

that he done turn down the multi-million dollar deal

in pursuit of doing his own thing independently.

- Okay, I see you, Will Clay.

I'm not gonna turn down a big deal like that,

but it's okay to each's own.

But listen, maybe he wants to change directions

and not be so egocentric.

You know, maybe he might be on his Nipsey Hussle,

you know, inspire everybody for change.

You know, he might be different now.

- I doubt it.

You asked me that was a fool ass move.

- Dang, that's how he doing it.

TKA all day.

You know how we do bring you

the tea every day, all day, have a good night guys.

- Hey, I'm at my mom's house and

You won't believe what I found.

All these old behind CDs

and mixetapes from a billion years ago.

- You got my favorite one in there.

- You mean the one you made thinking it..

- You know it. That was my old G. The goat, the greatest,

The legend, Usher Raymond

- Ew fan boy. I remember you used to pop lock

and dance under the fire hydrant, pretending it was rain.

Oh, please don't act like I was the only one acting crazy.

I can't even count how many times

I remember butchering that boy is mine

and still at the, all these years.

You still ain't picked aside.

- And we are not having this conversation tonight

and don't be mad

because your dad banned Lil Kim and Foxy Brown.

Once he heard them lyrics.

- There's a whole lesson on temptation.

Well, thank God.

He never caught you doing your LL impersonation.

- Oh, I could still do it.

- Bye. I am not impressed.

Anyway do you remember the first one that we made?

- Of course I do.

Will and Shardae volume one.

- I'm looking at it right now.

And guess what I just picked up, Brandy.

- Seriously, "always on my mind", that was always

in heavy rotation.

- but how'd you turn a joyful song into a mournful song.

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

- You know that was around the time grandpa died.

So just was always listening to that one all the time.

Everybody else drifted in they own little weird world.

You was the only one who leaned in.

- That's the best friends do.

- True.

- All right that's enough reminiscing

I got to go Will.

- All right bye.

- Bye.

- All right now don't forget.

Braxton has the camera crew following us now okay?

- Yeah yeah blah-blah-blah what's up everybody.

It's your boy the big dog

Rodney Rod baby how are you doing my ladies out there.

We out on the road first tour stop.

Get ready to get kicked off and we gonna show some

behind the scenes real quick.

Kiaira, what's up baby you looking good tonight.

- Hi.

- How are you doing?

- Rodney you have something to do like your job?

- But mommy that's boring.

Ladies and gentlemen you already know

the one and the only newest member

of the team is Staci G.

She only goes by one letter in her name

cause she thinks she's an icon.

I don't know where she get that from

- Leave me alone.

- Okay but baby sing something for them real quick.

- Leave me alone,

- And we gonna save that for the tour y'all

Look, we got so much going on.

This man needs no introduction because legends

let all their work do the talking.

- Or their loud ass managers. Boy, I'm on the phone.

- But that hurt bro, but ladies

and gentlemen it's Will Clay.

Willy Will baby, what's up man!

Tell the people the good news man.

- Oh yeah the good news.

You like this, Kiaira, this is of you.

No but I'm so proud of you though seriously.

You bout to be singing

hoping for moments like these.

- Wow haven't met here in years.

So many memories around here, man, the bridge

the water, we used to have some good times out here.

- Well, somebody is in a good mood.

Dressing rehearsals must be going nicely.

- I guess it's just

I don't know how I feel about leaving it all behind so soon.

You know ever since I've been here,

I just been focused on me.

I ain't had no time to get

up with you and see how things are going with you.

- I'm good Will.

The record store has been busy 24/7.

So I really haven't had much time for anything else.

- So you ain't got a man.

- Yeah Jesus.

- You know what I mean?

Come on Shardae, you special

beautiful and intelligent, and successful business woman.

I mean, I just feel

like the dude's gotta be knocking your doors down.

- Yeah knock on my doors down, but I'm just not interested.

Well, since you so nosy and interested.

How about you find me somebody.

- Oh nosy.

- Yes.

- Wow man I was just looking out for you

trying to make sure you find a good one.

Speaking of, I actually know somebody.

- Oh really?

- Yeah you know they say he's super fine,

super musically inclined and always on time.

Like aye yi yi.

- But I can't with you.

See this is the Will I love

and I wish the world could see it.

Cute, goofy knucklehead.

- Aw you think I'm cute?

Come on at least you know, I could be real with you.

- So what about your fiance?

- Yeah, I don't really know what that is these days.

Tell me you remember when we wrote "The Life" right here?

- Of course but do you remember the original harmony?

- Of course I do.

What was it?

When we wrote that song?

I'm not gonna lie.

I thought things would be a lot different.

- You know you don't have to settle.

Like I know you wanna make the decisions.

I even let you have these cameras

and stuff in here, but come on.

There's gotta be another option other than this

because sparkles that ain't the aesthetic I'm going for

- No shut up Will, you look fine.

Stop being overly dramatic, okay?

I know you want to be your own man and dress yourself

but less thinking more singing.

Okay leave the decision making to me.

- What you tryna say.

I can't make my own decisions?

- What?

I am not having this conversation right now, okay?

This is not the time or the place

for you to have a temper tantrum.

Rehearse and follow the formula, all right?

I'm not talking about this right now.

- Well you're talking about this right now

because I'm sick of you trying to run stuff

- No we are not.

- No seriously you got to start listening to me.

Yelling! Yelling! Yelling!

He was killing it man.

You know you always dance so great.

Lovely lady.

Good rehearsal.

I'm about to check in with sound real quick.

And then we clean up some more choreo.

Hey Jamie real quick.

I'm not liking the way my vocals are sounding.

Can you add some more reverb when we get over in the room?

- Yeah first off you sounded great.

Kiaira told me not to add any more reverb.

- No, no Kiara got nothing to do with the way I sound, I do.

So go over there and add some more reverb

like I asked got it?

- Yes, sir.

- Cool also while you're at it,

can you talk to the lighting designer?

The lights ain't doing nothing for me.

They gotta dance we need like some gobos

or some movers or something.

Can y'all do something about that.

- I don't want to be combative.

- Kiaira told me I can't make any set design

changes without her prior approval.

She said she has to approve everything.

- No, no excuse me.

Kiaira said what?

- Will, baby, listen.

- I'll get right on that for you.

- So yeah, about that Kiaira thought

we should change that too.

- Yo Rodney you're my homie.

But you got to start realizing who pays who here.

Alright when I ask somebody to do something

in my rehearsal, I want to hear yes sir.

- Yes, sir.

- Got it sir. - Got it sir.

- My pleasure, sir.

- My pleasure sir.

- I'm sick of hearing all this goddamn

Kiaira said, Kiaira said this my show.

And if y'all could implement that,

that y'all could both hit the door.

And I mean that, bro.

I don't wanna hit any doors.

I don't ain't deal with this shit no more.

- Okay I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

- What? Will, no, one's begging you to be here.

Okay Staci G is ready.

- You two are hilarious.

- No, no, no chill Rod.

- What you mean Staci G's ready?

This is my show.

- I mean that this show is gonna go on with or without you.

I just wonder what your fans are gonna think

when they find out that their little favorite artists backed

out because he didn't get his way.

- Man, fuck them fans.

And this dumb ass show is deeper than that.

And you know what Kiaira,

you've been trying to control and manipulate my career

with your analytics and all your formula since day one.

But guess what?

You can't recreate God given talent.

- Will please.

- And it's right here.

Something your ass won't never know nothing about.

Kiaira what you got to realize?

This is a thousand of you but it's only one of me.

And I mean that.

- He didn't mean that.

- Yes he did.

- If you think that you can make it without me

go right ahead.

But don't you dare come running back

when everything falls apart.

- Will she didn't mean it bro.

What're doing?

- Hey Ki fuck you.

- Will, Will we can fix this.

Will, Will.

- Rodney he's washed we got Staci

and she is the future.

- Let's go.

- Like, I really hope he takes his pompous ass

and stops alienating folks and talking about his fans

like give the younger artists a chance instead

of sabotaging his own career.

But his new music sounded good though.

So I'm still listening

to the album, even though he had jerk.

You done with him?

- I ain't got no word, nothing enough.

I have nothing left to say.

- I guess for next time on TKA all day.

I will knock it off the damn hinges.

- Did you just kick my door?

Mmhmm

So are the rumors true.

No

Ugh

So you're going to drown yourself in your sorrows.

Shardae look, I'm done.

I'm done with music.

I'm done with the business everything

Look news flash.

I ain't perfect, I tried to be but people mess up every day.

- Will, ain't nobody perfect, but I'm not

going to let you sit here and sink yourself

into a depression.

So you need to get up, clean up, and just

deal with your demons.

- It's so easy for you to say from the outside,

looking in. This all I know, everybody want

to see another entertainer, crash and burn

and I'm supposed to just lose it all.

That's bullshit Shardae and you know it.

- Will, don't get hyped with me.

Okay I'm the only one looking out for your

Woe is me self

My bad

Or I'ma have to put hands on you

Like I did back in the day in drama club.

- Oh you know I still can't believe you hit me right?

- Of course, with that mouth of yours, you had it coming.

Shardae

- This is all a mess right now.

I ain't talked to Kiaira

or Rodney since everything went down.

Well, what about the dream you told me about

About you taking a break from being

the artist and focusing on Staci G.

You got to let the Lord light the fire

that is born inside of you and just put it into your craft.

- It's funny I forgot all about that.

I've been so consumed

with the world, turning on Will Clay.

- See he's just needed a little Shardae love.

- You are so special Shardae,

I love you.

- Wow

Really?

Look Ki,

Really Will?

Ki, Ki, Ki,

I promise you this ain't what it look like.

And to think I came over here to make things right with you,

but no, you all have been here kissing

on this Bohemian looking bitch.

I knew you wanted him all along.

- First of all, who you calling Bohemian,

you high class hoe.

You've been using him all these years

and now you want to act like you care.

- Please.

- Why you got to complicate things.

- Shardae, please Shardae, Shardae.

Go ahead, run. Run after her. You know you want to

I should have just stayed away from you, but you know what?

You ain't nothing but a little boy

in a grown-ass man's body, but you can go straight

to hell with your country talking ass.

With gasoline draws on I'm done.

That's all

Protective custody?

- I know you love for me to just crawl into a hole and die

but nigga, I'm here.

See when you reach God status like me, take more

than one bad show to ruin my reputation.

- Nigga you drunk, talking about God status.

You obviously haven't seen the charts lately.

That come back album

shaping up to be a major flop.

Flop?

- You think cause I'm famous.

That shit don't affect me.

Money don't make dealing with shit easy.

See y'all think y'all know everything

in the blogs, but y'all don't know a goddamn thing.

- If you can't take the heat and get out the kitchen.

There's millions of people that a trade with you.

Don't act like you ain't blessed my nigga.

- I'm sick of this nigga.

Oh Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa.

Hold on.

Listen this is not the time or the place.

Come on let's go.

This is a setup.

Take this L.

- No but we can't just let people think

they can run up on us.

Yo school this nigga.

- You want me to go?

And just to be very clear, I am blessed beyond measure.

But see what y'all in the media don't understand is

that when you put

on a pedestal by all these people, you do all type.

- You piss on em, treat them like shit and take their money.

Huh?

Come on dog.

- Braxton baby Braxton baby listen I'm sorry

I had to dip off real quick.

Yeah, but listen

I just wanted to let you know the plan is in motion TKA

is on the way.

Okay.

- Excellent you three for three you know that right?

- I know stop man.

Listen, alright baby dog I gotta go.

Cause it's getting crazy in here okay.

Alright, I'll talk to you later.

All right.

I'll talk with you.

Come on dog.

That entitled celebrity card is played out.

You ain't been right since your grandfather died.

- No, you I ain't got nothing to lose.

I will kill this nigga.

- Mal Mal we good?

Let's just get out of here before this

get any worse for this clown,

- Nah, it's cool. I got what I need.

Yeah. Get your ass out of here.

- Where the hell have you been?

- I'm securing the bag man

Nigga don't touch me.

I'm out.

Get back the best way you can

You scary!

- Oh boy.

- That's okay.

Let it out.

We know he did you wrong.

- I just tried to stand up for him, you know

be everything that he needed.

But I guess that just wasn't enough.

I was the one taking all the Ls, you know

I was the one picking up the pieces and rearranging them

you know, making sure that he looked good at all times

but I guess for somebody like William Clay Gregory

the third, that just wasn't important.

You know, but,

I mean,

At the end of the day

the money is what talks right?

- Wow.

So did you know that he was cheating on you

with Jordan Holmes?

- You know, Jay, I didn't want to believe it,

but me being me

I believed him when he said that it wasn't recent, you know

I didn't have any reason not to, so I took his word for it

and I kept it moving.

You know, that's what black women do.

- Sounds like you were something special. A real rider.

I mean, that's how I was raised,

you know, with honesty and integrity.

The only good thing that came out of this situation

is that Rodney and I was able to start our own label

and we were able an sign amazing artist Staci G.

You know, I got an awesome partner, an awesome artist

out of an unfortunate and horrible situation.

- I know that's right.

Now what we really want to know is,

did you get the bag from his lying ass?

- Let's just say I am not the unfortunate one okay?

- Well let me be the first to say congratulations

on your new label and project.

Thank you so much.

Tell us some more about what you got going on.

- My pleasure Jay.

So our label is No Mercy Records

and the first artist to be released is Staci G

and her first single is titled

"Should've Known", which is actually my story with Will,

you know, somehow Staci was there to witness some

of the horrible things that he

and I went through and her being such an amazing artist.

She was able to capture some of that raw pain and emotion

that I had gone through and was able to put into the song.

- Oh so y'all like Jermaine Dupri and Usher

with the Confessions.

- I mean, I hadn't thought about it, but you can say that.

- All right, now we definitely have a special treat

for our listeners.

First let's get into this new Staci G song and maybe

after the commercial break, we can get into some more tea

about Will Clay and his retirement announcement.

- Maybe.

- It's Rod talk to me.

Rod

- Bro tell me what I just saw

in the interview ain't true bro.

Please tell me

you ain't steal my artist and started a label with Kiaira.

- Whoa bro, what's up man.

It's been a minute how you doing?

- A minute?

- Bro calm down man its just busines. It's just business.

- nigga you stole my artist.

Are you serious you're are supposed to be my manager.

Nigga you supposed to be my brother.

- Listen Will once the label offered you the new deal.

And you turn it down.

Idiot. What was I supposed to do?

- Keep my career in your hands.

Fight for me dog.

You ain't never heard of that?

- You were supposed to fight for me.

- Will listen the only time that I throw my hands

up is where the money is.

And right now the money is with Ki.

- Y'all some money hungry, blood sucking, energy sucking hoes

Look, I'm good. Look big dog, bro, bro, get your money

Get your money but I promise on

Everything. I love nigga.

- I've been trying to reach you for weeks

What the hell happened now?

God damn!

I was looking through your accounts and notice a lot

of inconsistencies and your taxes haven't been paid either.

I signed a check every month.

Kiaira and Rodney supposed to be paying that.

Come on man, it's just, you've got this wrong.

You need to talk to Kiaira and Rodney.

I see the checks have been cashed

but they were made

out to a company called I.R.S.

Looks like a shell company.

Since you didn't make arrangements

and you haven't returned my calls for a month,

the feds are going to be

at your home tomorrow morning to cease property.

Are you there?

For real Ki

- Uh uh, nigga this ain't gonna work.

- Baby don't do that to me.

I'm Rodney baby.

- Chile Will Clay was not playing that's exact

that was some five heartbeat stuff first of all,

that's how Bird should have ran up on Big Red.

When Rodney looked up, he looked like he saw a ghost.

- Man if somebody stole my money, slept with my girl

and then gave certain media members dirt.

- All your dirt.

- And I would've beat that ass too.

And you can tell what was emotional from the rip

- Hold on did you just give an exclusive without giving

an exclusive.

And you gloss over that little thing a little bit

Sounds like you just gave up your source

- It should be public knowledge by now.

I mean, at least every news outlet.

Know that you, all you have to do is give your boy Rodney

a bag for some dirt on the Clay camp.

- Damn but they have been doing my man's foul all this time.

Speaking of, did you see this GoFundMe

for Kiaira's bumble?

- Oh, I did.

- Yo they did your girl dirty man.

- Yo they did man, whoever that girl was dragged her.

I know you've seen meme.

- Stop Shardae I think that's the girl named Shardae.

Is that like Sade, Shardae. Okay that's that hood version.

But you can't help, but see them.

Like those are the type of friends that you need.

The ones that's gonna ride

or die for you when people do you wrong.

- True you know what?

I've been a little harsh.

I'll give them a pass for this small thing.

Do you think I should give him a pass?

- Please give this man a pass he been through enough.

- I'm gonna tell you why I'm gonna give him a pass

You taking responsibility for your actions

but you can't hold on to that, that guilt

and shame that you're feeling.

Because it'll eat you up inside

and it'll destroy everything you touch.

You gained the world and now you've experienced

what it's like to lose your soul.

It's time to let Jesus.

restore it for you, rebuild it.

We didn't pull all that word unto you

when you were growing up just

for you not to have it available

to you when you need it the most.

- Dad man you don't even know

how relieved that makes me feel.

I've been ashamed of myself,

people pleasing and protecting a false image

I thought because I wasn't from a bad area

or didn't have bad parents that I had to make this image.

Just to make people like me.

- Listen son, you need to take pride in the fact

that you didn't do that and know that we're behind you

no matter what, even when you act like a heathen.
