I'm not the myriad type of dude.

And if you're not okay with that, then that's on you.

Honey. I am in love with you. Don't you realize I would do anything for you.

Now I'm asking for one thing and that's for us to do things the right way.

What is this? What.

Is the right way? What is the right way to, you.

Know, I was raised in church. My parents hate the fact you got me pregnant.

Didn't marry me. Do you even know what big mama calls you?

The boy that I'm shacking up with? How do you think that makes me feel

in my heart? I noticed is not right. You can,

when we have sex, I feel so bad afterwards.

So this life ain't good enough for you, huh? I'm never saying that.

All I'm saying is we would have so much more if we just did things. God's way.

Look at Chrissy and Josh. All right, listen Christmas. Every,

since they got married, they built a house from the ground up.

He got a promotion at work. She had started home business.

You know what? Ever since you started hanging with your college friends,

you've been acting all.

Josh and Chris, Chris and Josh, are you trying to impress them with something.

Bougie? Bougie can. So,

I'm trying to impress somebody.

You never had a problem with this before.

Oh, so why did you go over there?

She calls and you just go run it.

You know what I told you? I'm through with that girl.

You need to get a paternity test.

You know she was sleeping with half the block on the house together.

But he don't need to be living in that type of environment.

Especially with Keisha. She can barely even take care of her. Other three kids,

whatever.

Let me go get my boy.

Well, Jacqueline was out of town on another photo shoot.

I'm about to take this little group and. I met at the mall back, Stacey,

What is this? Are you trying to get rid of evidence or something?

Yeah, I wouldn't use battery acid, but I ran out.

Plus the attic was occupied with all my wheat plants. Yeah. So.

How's everything coming along.

It's coming, but it's nothing like the apartment I had back in New York.

You lived in New York. Yeah,

but the money was real tight and jobs were hard to come by.

So here I am.

It is. I used to travel around a lot,

but I moved back here because my grandma needed support. I thought she retired.

She needed help paying him.

That's so sweet of you. You know,

most men are more interested in helping themselves than others.

Maybe I'll step out and be here one day. Well.

She's usually in and out of the hospital a lot. That's where she's at right now.

I think answer kind.

Of size shoe got applied. Knees, flooded people kind of got you and brick.

Girl. No can be hard. That's why I'm staying up. Beautiful.

So what are you doing when you're not being such a state? I've.

Heard of MDB apparel say big glue.

They store all the malls in Chicago.

I managed to have that and I also helped James out

with his checks. Matter of fact, you know that check with Jennifer Hudson.

And the beats that was on call most favorite joints, I made it.

I would love to get into music. Seeing.

Dan's act, anything that has to do with the arts. I love that stuff.

That's what I was doing back in New York. Trying to break into the business.

No I'm originally from Brazil.

Well, according to the rest of America I am,

but my mom is Brazilian and my dad was a soldier station.

There he is born and raised in Chicago. Mr. Johnson was his godfather.

So why does shy?

I don't know. Mr. Johnson's letting me stay here. Rent free.

So maybe I'll get a job. I'm just trying to keep busy.

I'm really just waiting on destiny to reveal itself to me on.

So then maybe I'll just check out the sites.

And I'd be happy to show you around. You know?

I wouldn't want you to get lost in Chicago is a very big place.

crazier.

Me,

quit my thirst. I was thirsty.

What I'm feeling. It's the truth. Truth, shape and mold.

Cause I'm married to it, man. I don't want to do it.

Be Fisher, be sacrificial.

I want to talk to y'all about something. Something very important.

I want to talk to y'all about

. Your

be the person that you think has your best interests to be your boss at the

job.

I hate to even be your very own blood rose.

Hey man.

Come here, man.

There was a report of gunshots around here. Did you know anything about it?

Homey, man, this is the shot, right? I hit gunshots all the time.

Well watch yourself. Somebody people out tonight.

Got you later.

Tiana. And these doormats.

Which, which one do you think the red or the black? I'm thinking a black one.

No, no.

I got up flat out of town tonight to go to LA

I booked that F style magazine shoot.

The one I had the test shot file last weekend.

Congratulations. But then.

Okay. Well clearly some people think I'm marketable.

You leave me all the time.

Oh my baby. Be missing me.

Hey baby.

That's what happens when you have a model for a life? I fly here.

I fly there. Besides that we'll be giving you grief.

When you be on going out of town and your business trips for two,

three weeks at a time. Yeah.

Because taking a picture,

don't bring in the sort of income that I bring to the table.

You know what, whatever James,

how about this?

How about I see in junior to my mom's house while I'm out of town,

that way you could continue to bring in all that money to me.

How about that?

And while I'm over here being funny, I see a phone over there blowing up.

I know you better not have gave y'all number two,

another one that they were groupie checks. Come on that day. You know,

I wouldn't do nothing like that.

I'm too busy trying to give you the life. You can only dream up.

I ain't got time to be chasing no gold duty plus I'm too tired.

I ain't got no energy to be given his love in a way you keep me drain.

Yeah, I hope that's the truth, James.

I'm not with no more cheating.

I don't know whatever you want to do.

And that's why I created the paint, the world project.

Now that's what's up. So tell us, why did you start your own label?

Not, I just got tired of record labels getting rich off of my hard work.

So I cut out the middleman and now I'm making my own money.

So are you telling us it's all about the money.

Now? I wouldn't really say it's all about the money. It's more about destiny.

You see I've been in this industry a long time and so I've had the opportunity

to work with a lot of key players.

So when the opportunity presented itself to me, of course,

I jumped on it and now I'm my own boss.

Now that is what I'm talking about. When we come back,

we're going to have an amazing artist for Daryl. Tell us political.

Yo, we got Mike in the misfits and David's y'all stay tuned.

She won't be back for another three weeks.

But I'll be careful with that girl. Not playing with fire.

Listen, man. Let the grown folks worry about wrong folks. It's all right.

As for you, Ms. Desire,

we only got a couple of weeks to get ready for class David.

So I'm going to need you for a focus,

meaning less attention on the shine here and more attention on me in the studio.

I think I can handle that and Deshaun you wouldn't mind, right?

Right. No problem.

Okay. Okay. Cool. All right. Well, uh, I'll be in touch.

Keep that body together. Hey Sean, do me a solid man.

Once you clean up around here, I gotta go concentrate this contract.

Yeah. Can I have a nice ring to it?

Walter shave went. Hey, who gonna pay for me for tonight? Huh? Okay.

So now you hear me. Hi.

I'm taking everything else since it was already free.

Look at me and my mama gonna eat this for lunch.

Hey, D can I go home early? I don't care.

I come when I was two weeks. What's up, man. Can you be yourself? Libby?

Do you think your boy James is trying to smash Jasmine,

come on, come on.

We talking about the same dude that bring girls over to his wife's house while

she out of town. That guy James I'm like brother. Okay.

I think I'm just missing Jasmine. I've never met a girl before.

She's the first catheter. Since high school, you gotta be kidding me.

The next you're going to be telling me that you were hurt.

Big. You ain't happy since it had you.

No, you fool. I'm not a vegan. That's just been a long time.

Five years. Oh yeah man. He'll version in my book.

When was the last time you had to go.

Last week? Remember to cross out a chick? Yeah. She came over to the crib.

We started rapping. And that's how it happened for you.

Have you tried with Jasmine? I mean, do you even still know how to do it?

Because you know you, you still that'd be.

I will have you walking here every weekend until you're 35. Keep talking.

Hey man, I'm just playing. God.

No, I haven't tried anything with Jasmine yet. I'm waiting on your rights.

Well check your watch every time. It's the right time. Summer, spring,

fall five o'clock in the morning Groundhog day Lee.

The first day she came to my house would have been the right time.

See you don't rush things like that. When you want to build something real.

Wild animals can just have sex. And I would have had monkey sex with Hutchins.

I don't even think about sex when I'm with Jasmine

scammy, not doll. I'm telling you

this girl is something special when I'm retired. It's like,

I don't think about anybody else. It's like the only two people in the world.

I knew nothing else. My Tufts don't care that I am broke.

Well, you better start caring. Cause she blowing up. Dude.

She not going to be ran on a bus. I mean think about it.

She want to ride in a hot ride on sitting on them. Things.

She around all them superstars and celebrities. And you know,

the big time is going to be hitting that ain't be got her heels.

You don't think she wanted them girls to try to use what she got to gives you

one, because if you do, I mean, you might as well have sex with her now,

before it's too late and you know what?

I can hide in the closet and record the whole thing. And I mean,

you can have a sex tape late. He was left with a box and get your son.

He is scared to walk. Now you food.

I'm just saying I could hide to walk now and worked for Kim K

boy.

Sir. She has recovered from surfing needs to rest. You're going to have to leave

because you've got 10 minutes and that's it.

Baby.

Promised what happened.

It was Kesha. She was following me. Can't.

Shut up talking crazy.

I left.

I went to the car to puck a little kid.

She came out of nowhere. She's staffed.

Wait in front of Boston

upset.

She is not worth you. Going back to jail over

to say the police investigated, going to investigate.

Wait,

I need to tell him,

please cut. Please protect him.

Doesn't know what he's doing

up.

Well, now that we're going to be working together.

I just want to make sure we're on the same page. Okay?

So now that you're about to be famous. Oh,

you ain't gonna have no boyfriend. Right? Why do you say that?

Where do I begin?

I'm going to be doing show network events.

I mean on the road and the studio doesn't have a lot on your plate and I know

Sean, he's not going to be ready for all of.

Is that.

Look, all I'm saying is now that you're about to take over.

You might want to consider the other options.

I hate to break it to you, but the sun is just not your tight.

He works a mall job. I mean he barely makes 25 K a year for Christ's sake.

He still lives in his grandmother's house.

His car alone is an embarrassment all in itself.

You don't want to be seen with a guy like that.

Not for the level that you're about to be on. It's just not a good look for you.

And.

So what type of guy do you think I should be with a boss?

Someone that can take care of you financially as well as section

is that Sean wouldn't know what to do with all that. I didn't,

even if I told him myself, oh really? What you need is a real man's man.

Somebody like me, it's just not natural for a boy.

Like the shine to be with a woman like you.

Okay, I get it. So because you have money and status,

then I should want to be with somebody like you.

And because Dishon is just an average guy,

then it's not right for me to want to be with him.

I don't make the rules, but I just play the game.

He just got it all figured out. Don't you it's my job.

You were about to be the next biggest thing coming out of the shot.

So I think it's time we turn it up at night.

So tonight it's all about you and me.

But do you have plans? We'll do a little shopping.

Go to the spa hair, done nails done. You know,

I like the sound of it. And after that,

who knows what two consenting adults may get into.

Tell me, you love me. Love me.

I want to hear Craig.

You know how I feel about you?

You're still messing with that. Goofy. Want to know this?

This right here. This mind you, my baby.

I said Jess,

because I let you hit does not mean I'm your baby or your girl.

She a lie. You will be.

Kenneth is mommy.

And he's coming back to me now until then all you is a good

way. Just enjoy the ride. Why you paying? Okay.

Look, if I catch buddy over here, I'm stretching them out.

No that whatever boy you're so scary.

I ain't got nobody out.

Open up, man.

Come on and get up.

You want some smoke? Huh?

All right. Bobby girl, Steven Powell, shorty.

I'll get it together the right way, man. What you about to do, man? I'm not, no.

That's all. Thank you.

I've been busy.

Man. Tiana. Is that what happened?

Kaisa crazy. Stabbed her in front of my,

she stabbed Teyana in front of my son.

Man. I did. All right, but it don't matter to you though. Huh? What do you mean?

It doesn't matter to me.

Because we blood with cousins, with family. Where were you?

I've been spending time with my, besides I ain't going to mind.

I don't need to hold your hand. Right? Right.

Well, why you supposedly with your girl? Tell me why she out there with James.

You don't know what you're talking about.

James is working very hard to help her grow up. No.

She, Mrs.

Closeup got dropped off earlier this evening with a bunch of bags that she got

from James.

Oh, it's not like that. Jasmine is an aspiring artists.

I gems is starting his own record label. He's even going to sign up to a deal.

He's showcasing her tomorrow at this spot for some music execs.

The son. You're not listening, man.

What's she got your nose wide open first and foremost.

Think about it. Who doesn't know who peanut head James is?

Everybody knows who he is. She act like she didn't so she could get it to man.

She can still find her way inside with him. Don't you get it? She got,

you want him off a square and you over here struggling over some basic chick who.

Does this man, just because I'm not a drug dealer. Like you,

she doesn't want to be with.

Me. Don't don't do that, man.

You know they recording these phone calls.

I'll talk to you later. I hope that. All right, bye.

Hello? Hey daddy. What's wrong with you?

Sure. Cool.

All right. Cool.

We should just real fast. We got plans tonight, camp.

And that's fine. Cause I only want him for his money. So a Fairtrade.

Haven't your body. Got you in enough trouble this week. Aye.

Hey, do you almost ready to go?

I just have to fill up at the gas station first.

I called, cause I ain't got no gas money. You got this.

I know

Okay.

They know me every day.

They tell on me, just hold on, babe. They won't be alone.

If I can trust them and know that they love

wait, wait, excuse me.

Do you think God could really use you think I could really use a sinner like me?

Everybody. Give me your hands. Give me your hand.

Yeah. You know what? Uh, let's look at it from.

Here, man. Take off for the night. The show. Yeah, that's it.

Lord.

I come in favor of you to move mountains for this young man.

Keep him safe. Protect them in your name.

Jesus. Amen.

We better get ready to go. We're going to be late for the show. Hold on.

I want to play something

like that.

I'm glad you liked it. Maybe that especially

that's the next thing on the album,

James, what are you doing?

You got a few minutes.

This time you start showing me something.

A little taste of what stuffed lamb we need to go.

I don't like to play games and you want to both know what you want.

Everything is not always about you. It is. It is about me. You know why?

Because I'm the one out here making deals

and it's time that you get down on your knees and baby, just like the rest of.

Your right to shine.

Couldn't possibly handle a woman like me anyway.

I need a real man above plus

it's about time. I start treating myself.

Now. See, now you're starting to talk.

Don't you ever do that to me again,

father is going to get you.

Juice in the kitchen, my kitchen.

Oh,

he'll know what he's saying. Hey,

cheap, fast,

stupid.

Thank God.

There's something we need to talk about.

It

Was wrong. Everything was going to be.

Okay. Mama, head three kids.

It's not the baby Tiana. I mean, it's my wife.

Everybody that comes into my life. I heard them.

You're laid up here because of me. This and I fell out.

Some goals popped up me today and this old lady got killed. Okay.

Grandma died because of the stress of my

own troubles. Sometimes tick,

I think this is where it would be so much better.

If I was the one that was dead.

Ever talk like that.

What about me?

What about your children? What are we supposed to do? If you're not here?

No more.

Be a man by myself. I know life has the stuffs and down,

but bad times. Don't last long.

We've come too far to give up now Ken,

and now we have to have another baby between you and Deshaun.

We'll work things out. You always do.

He's your only cousin. Did you all he got

well, I do you really think just the customer you'll grow,

shows up that he's not going to need you anymore.

When we get out of here, I want to split things for you.

Let's go down to city hall and get married.

See that ain't gonna make anything better. Maybe. Maybe not,

but it's definitely a step in the right direction.

If you going through something, I want to be right by your side,

going through it with you, but not as your baby mom

as your wife

on hurry up.

Look,

I know what's going to be some ladies there and I'm trying to do some parking

lot. Walk up.

Definitely not this one. In order to bag the hottest chick,

you just got to stand next to the hottest car.

Stupid boy. Right?

Call it what you want. No, you know what?

I remember that one time I was leaning against this car. Why would the chick cop

come on, man? How long would it take the pump?

$2. So actually 28 yards.

That's it. That's it.

That's it. That's it.

That's it. That's it.

That's the difference between us. If you and me came up

excuse me. Get paid.

Hey, do you know where lake in Austin is?

We don't know who you are.

Um, I think so. What.

Are you doing here in Chicago? West side.

Trust me. I know all about the hoods.

I'm hosting a private fashion show tonight. Welcome to Shai soon.

Excuse me. But if you're not doing anything later,

I'm free all night after my show and maybe we can hit the club,

get some drink, whatever you want.

Yeah. Sorry. I have plans

worn out with your girlfriend. That's.

It? Wow. And you're.

Honest about it. I'm definitely not used to that.

She wants to be a very, very special lady.

She's my dream girl.

Yeah.

He's on his wife. Okay. You know, but where's your girl at.

All. She's in the back. Getting ready. Can I see it for a second?

Can you talk to that for, I think I want to protect my investor.

She's in the back.

Idiot.

I'll be right back. Try not to get into any trouble. Right? Cool.

I'm just gonna look for some freestyle.

What's up? Hey, what's up man?

Where's Jasmine. Oh, she's in the back end, right? So.

This is it. Is it about to blow up Jay?

Oh man. I've been wanting to tell you.

You've been loyal to me for a long time. It's not see.

Where I live brother, as you know.

But I appreciate you. I want you to know that.

I got you back

And of course you didn't have any money. I don't buy.

Nothing. Food and drink there.

So you can't be taking people's drinks said they ain't left it. Find us,

keep us loses. We don't want to mess around the Contra mono.

I already got my shot for that dog. Don't even worry about it. Obama cap.

You know why he's not going to be able to make it. He was feeling a little sick.

So he went on back to the hotel.

But what he did ask her to do was to last year and the event. So she does well,

you got yourself a.

Deal. Okay, well, let's get this thing started.

Oh, I need some chocolate to help me calm a combat.

Hey aren't you dishonest cousin.

Yeah. And.

So what, so is he with you? Nope.

I need to talk to him and RJ

play him like that. Excuse me. When you.

Think, I don't know what you tried to get through D just to get to James. Yeah.

I saw you get out of his car the other night. All them bags and.

All the phone numbers.

First of all, you need to come correct with how he's talking to me.

Secondly, it's not even like that.

Minnis females, just like you. The only one to mess with dudes for one thing,

money,

everybody know you ain't want to mess with di like that in the first place.

You don't know anything about me. I love to Shawn.

He's a great man and he's very good to me.

And I'm a good and faithful woman to him.

So if you think that I'm out to hurt your cousin,

that shame on you because I'm not going to mess up what we have for nothing.

Not even my career. Now,

James that's the snaky needs to be looking out for

Pick up your food. Hey,

Hey dude, dude.

Man, I want to apologize to you for what I said the other day, man.

Song, ride or snap, man.

I was wrong.

Deshawn. When grandma died,

you was the one I was looking after me.

And I guess when Jasmine came into the pitcher,

I started to miss man. But look, it's your life.

I'm happy for you. And I respect that.

Most importantly, man, I let you.

Jump in. Listening to

James.

Is about to perform.

Hey man, it's called you, but that's Vanessa beat.

So it can not now stop. Tell us, tell him right now.

I will tell him how you been sneaking this girl behind his back.

What are you on drugs?

Come on the shine. You know, I would never do you like that, man?

We like family.

Man. His family. And I'm proud of you playing them like that. Yeah.

You want me to, sorry. I'll put your hands on me. I'm calling my lawyer.

It's what are you doing? I told you to turn was almost up. Hey,

y'all saw that right?

I ain't see nothing. Hold on, hold on James. You don't have to do that.

You leave.

Man. I ain't going nowhere, man. Don't want you to tell Dee,

tell him that you threatened to ruin his girl career.

If he said that you pushed up on in the studio earlier,

what are you talking about? Candidates. Come on to shine. You know,

he's been jealous of our relationship since high school.

Sure. It's true.

James is not your friends earlier.

James tried to proposition me for sex in exchange for a music deal.

He's not your friend.

Come on. You going to really listen to some groupie chick you just met.

You're gonna let her feed you with a bunch of lies.

She's the one that tried to push up on me, Sean.

I know that you think that James is your friend, but trust me, he is not.

He only hangs out with you because he's insecure about his own shortcomings.

So he keeps you around because you make less money than him.

And it makes them feel good to be literally you, but trust me, baby,

you are so much better than him and you don't need him at all.

Hmm. See, that's where you're wrong. He does need me.

When I'm around, the Shaun gets a little bit good lights.

He drives the fanciest cars we eat at the most upscale restaurants.

Hell he needs people that he'd only read about in.

Magazines. I give them a taste of what it feels like to be a stop.

And to Sean knows there's nothing wrong with living in another man shadow.

Especially if his mom.

Deshaun doesn't need to live in anybody's shadow. She casts his own.

No. What? You're skating on thin ice girls

can't believe you do this to me. I thought we were brothers, man.

Did you know me, man? I know you not.

Believe in this mess. You know me, Joe, right?

I do know you. I chose.

To look in the other direction because I realized something.

I realized that I did like living in your shadow because I looked up to you.

But now I know can only look down at his snake.

Come off. You don't come off.

That was a good line. Hey, I'm gonna use that.

Let's go, Kenneth, Jasmine.

I know you have to perform. So I'll come to your house tonight. No.

If my man is leaving, then I'm leaving too.

I don't care anything about this record deal.

Especially if it means working under him.

I think I like her. So we out.

Hey, you're nothing without me.

You and Mitch.

And that convict cousin of yours y'all can get the hell out of there.

My hostel wants told me that haters are going to hate.

Elevate and motivate you,

but I'm going to do you a solid and ladies, hands on you.

The one I told you, what.

Would happen if I caught you cheating on me again?

I hope the sex was worth 2.7

didn't meal, young.

I'm sorry. I'm messing up your big chance.

You did it earlier. Maybe one of the executives backstage.

And I told them what was going on with James.

He set up a personal meeting with me and Clive Davis tomorrow. God is good.

Look, I haven't been totally honest about things in my life.

I know you don't know.

I must stupidest shine and you still want to be,

of course it was never about what you had.

I liked you since the first day I met you.

Wait a minute. Pardon me?

You still treat boom. Hey, you better treat them right by the way.

Trust me.

All right. All right. All right. I got to tell you something, man.

May I please meet you in the car? Huh?

What's he on his doing good, babe. He's doing good.

Man. Thanks man.

Next time, you know you be telling me you have the football team running around.

No, no, no, no, no.

But you know it, men I'm gonna do things right? This time we going get me.

Tenants. Danny married.

Must have walked off..

You know what, man, when I look around that days, I check out life.

Dude. There's so much bad stuff out here in trouble.

It's about time. I get myself together. You.

Know? I'm glad to hear that. Yeah. Grandma's in heaven.
