And you're about to do trap yoga with Trap Yoga Bae.

Now I want you to bust it wide open

until your feet are standing on either side of your mat.

Begin to bend your knees.

Now, when you bust down, many of you are gonna realize,

oh, shit, you bust it open just a little bit too wide.

You can go ahead and just step your feet inside the mat.

The next thing we're gonna do, friends,

something you don't get a chance to do often,

you're gonna bend over backwards

for yourself, for once.

You're gonna tilt that ass up, so you're just lifting

your butt up towards the sky.

The knees become straight.

On the inhale, we come forward.

Downward facing dog, AKA, my favorite pose

- Okay, so tell me what's going on with your love life,

because I don't have one.

- My love life is just, you know,

like, we're getting to know each other,

learn how we communicate, mood swings, all that.

- How long were you and Jay together

before you guys moved in?

- A year and a half. - Damn.

I'm not one to compare relationships,

but they've been together a short amount of time,

already moved in together,

and here me and Jerrold are,

been together for eight years,

and he still hasn't moved in yet.

so I'm gonna cheers to being single,

'cause all you bitches are wifed the fuck up.

- Girl, it's okay. - And I'm here alone.

But it's okay. - I mean, not completely alone,

because you hung out with P'jae, so let's elaborate.

- You're doing a lot again. You got me fucked up.

- Why you keep squarin' up on me?

This is, like, your third time.

- Because y'all got me fucked up

asking me about P'jae when he's really my friend,

and y'all all-- not all, I'm sorry.

But you, bitch, know I'm traumatized.

- Okay. Okay. - You know I'm traumatized.

You know I'm working on healing, bitch.

- Wait, why are you traumatized?

- So, like, I was with this guy when I was 17.

He was my boyfriend from when I was, like, 17 to 23.

- Okay. - That's a hard time.

- You know, it was like, I felt like we grew up together.

This nigga was cheating on me the entire time.

Like-- - I hate niggas.

- Exactly.

So, okay, I need to get the fuck away.

- This is how you got here? - Yes. I'm still in Michigan.

- Oh, wow. - My first three months

of living here, like, he thought I was

still in Michigan, like, living with my grandpa.

- So, like, you just kinda ghosted him?

Like, just stopped answering his calls?

- Yeah, blocked his number, which is, like,

not uncommon for me.

Like, I love to block a number.

But I'm still kind of-- kinda talkin' to him, though.

- So you're talking to him through, like, DM or something?

- Uh, I unblocked his number 'cause I'm toxic as well.

I unblock him-- - Very toxic.

I unblock him. He thinks-- - Accountability.

- So when I finally told him I lived in LA,

bitch, he moved here.

- What? - Why? For why?

- For me. - He's toxic.

- Oh, that's toxic. So he moves to LA.

- He moved to LA, was living with me and my roommate, Amber,

- Wait, what the fuck?

- Still texting bitches.

I went through his, like, Apple Watch.

- You know it's real when you gotta go through

the damn Watch. - The Watch!

- He told this bitch he was gonna fly her out.

And I'm like, to-- - To what house?

- That's what I said! I'm like, what house

are you flying this bitch out to?

Like, what house? 'Cause not my house.

So, yeah, we don't fuck around.

I'm just genuinely traumatized.

So like, I feel like I'm generalizing

that, like, ain't-shit-ass nigga

to any guy that I'm speaking to.

- So how do you feel about, like, Jordan?

- [laughing] Jordan.

- She laughed. That's a damn shame.

- No, you know what was crazy? Jordan was really sweet.

He was, but it was Rebecca.

I didn't know that Becky and Jordan were doing anything

until after Becky told me.

- Yeah. - Like, I didn't know that.

And I just feel like, lowkey, like,

Jordan should have, like, stated that.

You feel me, like-- - Now, y'all know

he wasn't finna say shit.

- But it's just like, you linked with me

when I was with Rebecca, so it's just like,

why didn't you say that then?

I just really wish

that Jordan would've, like, let me know

that him and Rebecca already had a history.

Because, like, in no fucking world

do I want my friend's sloppy seconds.

Like, I need fresh-baked niggas, period.

- Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty.

You a real-ass bitch. - Cheers to y'all.

- So how's the single life been treating you?

- So tried Hinge. But that was just--

- How was that? - It's weird.

- I feel like... - Would not recommend.

- Instagram is my dating app. Like--

- [laughs] In your DMs?

- In the DMs. Yeah, for real.

- [sighs]

- This feels great.

Do you ever miss home?

- Um, I don't miss Michigan.

I just miss my family. You know?

- Okay, same. Like, I miss, like,

going to my grandpa's house, like...

- Yes. - Hanging out with my mom.

But, like, Kalamazoo, though? - No.

- I just would never wanna move back.

- No. - Ever, and, like, when I was,

like, on Instagram watching you live,

like, your best life in LA, I'm like,

okay, I need to come.

Like, sis is thriving. Like--

- I'm so proud of you for making that move.

- Girl, me too, honestly. - I was really happy.

- So I hung out with P'jae the other day, though.

- Mm-hmm. - We just, like, smoked.

We went to go see Kofi at work.

I just wanted to, like, tell you that before, like, you--

'cause we all hang out with the same people.

And I just didn't want, like, someone to be like,

"Oh, well, Bri and P'jae"--

- No, I for sure know

you wouldn't do that again.

After the whole Jordan debacle,

why would you ever do that?

- What happened with you and P'jae?

- Like, P'jae kept coming up to me,

like, when we were all together,

Like, I--when I tell you I was trying to avoid this man--

- Mm-hmm. - 'Cause I knew that I had

done something with his friend that I was, like--

- You and Jordan were, like, talking for a second.

- Yeah, like, I did like Jordan

and we were talking for just a little second.

So I did try to avoid it,

but I just feel like the inevitable happened.

'Cause P'jae was cool, you know?

I definitely should have told him

about Jordan and I,

but I feel like during that time in my life,

there was so much going on.

- Do you like P'jae, though?

- I like him.

- I really didn't know that Rebecca actually liked P'jae!

And, like, I already have my own drama with Jordan.

I don't need additional drama.

I'm gonna stay as far away from this situation

as I possibly can.

- Ugh.

Our friend group. - I know.

- What are we gonna do? - Messy.

We could just, like, leave this friend group.

Find a new one. Just start fresh.

- We gotta bring Ty. - Period.

[both laugh]

So Tylynn's having this, like, inauguration party.

And I really would love for you to come with me.

- I got you. - I'm sure Ty will be fine.

- Yes. - And if she's not,

like, who cares, girl?

You brought Cheryl to my girls' day.

- Period. - Have you been

in the same room with Jordan and P'jae?

- No, not in a minute.

So this party's gonna be interesting.

- It is, like-- - Do you feel like we should

talk to them? - I feel like I would love

to press Jordan, honestly.

Like, I would love to be,

like, in front of you,

like, why didn't you tell me?

You know, to see, like... - Period.

- What his side of the story is

because I just feel like it was a little shady

to just, like, try to fuck with two girls

who are, like, in the same friend group.

- Period. - I'm gonna have to get

drunk as fuck, honestly, before this

because I'm--I have anxiety right now.

- Okay. We'll take two shots.

- Three. - Three.

- Please. - All good.

- Uh...

- I was not expecting to see Becky at this party.

I ain't seen her in forever.

Don't even know if we cool.

First thought is, is somebody out here to get me?

- I just wanted to, you know,

like, get a gauge on why you invited Becky.

- It was just to, like, show y'all bitches

that, like, I'm not fucking with P'jae.

- Mm.

How has it been seeing Jordan?

- He looks cute tonight.

- You like the little heart?

It's beating? - Yeah, it's very cute.

Do you have an attitude that I brought Becky?

- Um...was I surprised?

Was I confused? Truth.

Um, yeah.

"Black is Back" is about

the progression of Black people.

It's not a space for you to act selfishly

and bring people who are not invited.

Like, y'all can take that somewhere else.

Not at my events.

- Okay, you wanna go hang out with other people or nah?

bad blood or anything.

Let's just say it.

And so I did feel a little type of way.

I knew we weren't even like that,

I'm a fucking hopeless romantic,

I'm never gonna hold anybody back.

So for sure, go for it.
