- She would probably be telling me get my [bleep] together.
- Exactly.
- That Shannon Sharpe interview,

they just took it the wrong way.
Just put us back in a horrible place.

Stop worrying about the past.
- I just been having so much going on.
My grandmother, she's in the hospital.
My grandma raised me, so it's just

- Today I have a nice, little, sweet, romantic date
with my baby, Erica Banks.
I'm a hopeless romantic, like the hood version of romantic.
So I got a little fruit.
I got a little wine.
A little, a little that, a little razzle-dazzle
to show her I appreciate her.
Hey. - Hey.
- Oh.
- You're so crazy.
- Don't get this on your face.
- What's that?
- So I be having acne sometimes,
so this is an acne solution.
- OK, it look like toothpaste.
- There's something in toothpaste
that sucks the bump up out of your face,
and I learned that when I was locked up.
Y'all should try it.
Look at my skin. Look at my face.
Look at me glow. [bell dings]
- This is cute. This is so cute.
- Yeah, I made this myself.
Get that one right there. Get that one right there.
- This one here? - Yeah, try that.
- This one too big for my mouth.
- Ooh. Ooh.
[laughs] - We can try it.
- Yeah, try. Let's try.
Let's see.
Come on.
- Oh, you got it all in your mouth.
- Mm. [laughs]
- Yeah, that mouth is special.
- You're an idiot. Stop.
- God damn, I'm getting horny.
Mm-mm-mm-mm.
It's just making me wanna be the fruit.
- What are we cheers-ing to?
- [sighs] Love. - What kind of love?
- Unconditional love.
- Don't just throw around the love word and act like--
- No, listen, I'm not throwing it around.
Let me tell you something.
I done been out here to-and-fro
with every [bleep] and every ho--
- So when are you gonna be done?
- And I don't wanna be like that no more.
- When are you gonna be done? - I'm done right now.
That's what this whole little setup
and come through and kick it and
sip-sip and dip-dip was for.
- Me and Khaotic been good lately.
He hasn't done anything to make me doubt him,
but I'm not stupid.
I know his reputation,
so I just need to keep my eyes open.
- No, you said I was the main video girl.
- You are the main video girl-- - OK, I just--
- Just as well as you are the main video girl.
Renni just made me forget about Erica and Amy.
She look like a glazed Krispy Kreme doughnut.
- But I know he ain't going to find nobody better
than Miss Banks, so he needs to stick to silk
and not polyester.
Either way, Karlie Redd is having her grand opening
of her restaurant. - Karlie Redd?
- Yeah.
Me and Karlie met sometime last year.
She had hit me up, saying she wanted to do a song,
so I'm actually going to pull up on her
at her restaurant opening.
You know, real women support real women.
She having her grand opening, and I want you to come.
It's next week. - I heard about it.
I'm booked that day. - You lying.
- Why would I lie to you?
I told you, I ain't got no reason to lie.
- No, no, no, there's something I want
to talk to you about because I just feel like when I ask you
about who is this bitch or what's this situation?
You just don't give me, like, a direct answer.
- I ain't never lied. I don't lie.
I don't even know how to spell lie.
Erica is the only woman that these eyes can see.
When I see other women, my vision goes out.
So in order for this relationship
to have longevity, Erica is going to have to trust me.
I'm all yours, baby, and you can get it
whenever you want it.
- OK, well, when we gonna start?
Tomorrow?
I mean, you got the damn money robe on.
God damn, you wearing a dollar bill.
- You know, I got the money in here.
- I'm just saying.
Speaking of dollar bills,
my label owe me some dollar bills.
- How are we gonna get that back?
- Well--[laughs] That's the thing,
so right now we're trying to work it out
because when I drop the snippets of my song,
I said in the song.
Things with 1501 started to kind of go downhill.
You know, money not being spent on me anymore.
I wasn't getting help with promotion.
I basically have been supporting my own career
for the past year.
I'm honestly just thinking about going independent.
So now suddenly they hitting my manager.
They're hitting D-boy, talking about, "Oh, we're
"not gonna do no label slander, da-da, da-da, da, but we do
got some money for Erica, da, da, da."
I know y'all got some money, so it took me to go make a damn
song for y'all to be serious about taking
care of y'all's business.
But as far as the contract, I fulfill my contract, so...
- If they fire you, who they gonna have?
- If I leave, who they gonna have?
- [laughs] Child.
If the business ain't right,
and it can't be fixed, then you might have to move on.
So if she want to move independently,
I can definitely help her because I
know from the independent side of things,
it's not easy doing it.
But I definitely feel like she got what it takes.
I feel like this right here is just
the next stage of your journey.
This is your go up right here.

- Life has been really good for Mendeecees and I lately.
We have been spending so much time with the kids
and also so much time together.
And we are in the process of closing
on my dad's first house, and I can't be more ecstatic.
Yeah, I was next door at the restaurant,
getting things together.
- How's things going opening up?
- We got an event tonight. I'm sleepy.
I'm tired. How are you feeling, though?
- I'm feeling excited.
- My cousin, Kisha, is one of the closest people
I have to me in my life.
She's more like a sister than anything,
and she has always been there for me
through any and everything I've ever been through.
Girl, what are you excited about?
- Life.
You know, good things are happening with us,
with our family. - Well, that's good.
I'm glad you excited.
Maybe you could give me some inspiration.
- I'm gonna rub it off on you.
- Yeah, rub it off on me because I'm tired.
I'm running around planning this birthday party for Amir.
Yeah, everybody's gonna be there.
- Ooh, like who? - Mendeecees' mom is coming--
Judy. - Judy? What?
- Yes, yes. - What's going on with that?
- I have not spoken to her.
It's been two years. - Really?
- But here's the thing.
My husband brings it on me that she's staying at my house.
Judy and I haven't had a great relationship for some time
now, really since Mendeecees got locked up.
- Get you a sweater to cover up.
You've been dressing very provocative.
I don't want to walk in and see my daughter-in-law
massaging his arm.
- It's time for you to go to bed.
- Go to bed? Yandy, please don't do that.
- And actually, it's gotten worse
after our Dubai vow renewal where she said
my marriage to her son in the past wasn't real.
- She said but the first one was fake.
- She could have stayed home with that.
- Mendeecees has spent a lot of time
repairing his relationship with his mom,
and I've been super supportive.
But as far as Judy and I,
I maintain a real at arm's length relationship with her.
- On another note-- - Talk to me.
- I just wanted to say thank you.
- Thank you?
- For you taking this time to go on this journey with me.
For you to just be, you know what?
I'll do it. - Yeah.
- You can have my eggs. It's just--and you volunteer?
- Well, you know what, Kisha? You would do anything for me.
Kisha has been trying to have a baby for years,
and unfortunately she's been struggling with infertility.
It's been heartbreaking watching her be so ready
for motherhood and not be able to conceive,
so I've been talking to Keisha about helping her through
this process and giving her one of my eggs.
- I'm getting emotional just you talking about it.
- This is a small thing to the bigness of our relationship.
- Oh, my gosh.
- You are the godmother of my babies.
You are their second mom.
So I just feel like if it ever came down to you having
to be there for my children if I were not able,
I would not question the mother you would be to my children.
And for that alone, this is a no-brainer for me.
Can you not start this crying stuff?
- I can't. I'm trying to have a real, good,
strong conversation with you... - Yeah.
- But just to think of this selfless act, I have no words
to express how thankful and grateful
because I just wanted to be able to have a child that
would at least have my DNA.
This is something big.
- So let me just be honest with you.
- [laughs]
- I have to still talk to Mendeecees.
But he loves you just as much as I do,
so I know that it's not going to be a problem.
And I know that he's going to be with it.
- I pray that he is understanding.
- He is.
He's going to be understanding. He loves you, he loves you.
- Coming up on "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta"...
- All in Bahamas, Amy this, then I see
you on the blogs with Erica.
You don't know where the [bleep] land,

This is the president of 1501,

and this fool is the root of the damn problem.
Kai is a very shady person when it comes to business,
when it comes to money, and when it comes to Erica Banks.
And I just want him out of my face.
- It is. It is, but it's gonna be good.
- The timing is totally [bleep] up.
- We can't help the timing. - OK.
- OK? Let's get the drink.
- Let's get the drink. - Let get the drink going.
- 'Cause I don't know what the [bleep] this is.
- Let's get the drink going.
- Wait, can we get Erica Banks a drink?
- The strongest drink y'all I got.
I don't know.
This whole new relationship with Karlie and Kai
is just weird to me because of the timing.
I'm like me and him into it, me and the label into it,
me and you, Karlie, just got cool.
And then as soon as we do a song, he's your man?
Something ain't right.

You look super [bleep] cute, yes.
Karlie, let's take this drink outside, baby,
because I need to talk to you.
- Whoo.

- Now, why you ain't tell me?
- I really thought he was going to tell you
because he's closer to you.
- As a person, he's just not my cup of tea.
- Oh, gosh. - So now--
- I want y'all to be--
- Just don't bring me around him.
- Oh, [bleep].

- Karlie is crazy to be with this man.

someone your egg and getting a surrogate to carry it for you.
- No, no, no, because it's not going to be with you.
It's not going to be your sperm or anything.
Instead of going to a stranger to get an egg to have a baby,
it's better to go to a family member.

I never met a person that was full of love
like Grandma Pumpkin.
We're going to miss you, Grandma.
She just was a good person with a good heart,

inspired Ghetto Girl Eats.
Everything I know about cooking came from my Granny.
She always said, when she passed over, that she wanted
everybody to just be happy,

You handle the kids. You handle your mother.
- She's not just somebody. - This is some bull[bleep].
I'm not rushing out of here and you're not going to dictate.
Look, I'm moving a pillow.
Have a good trip, Yandy, all right?
This is some [bleep] up, crazy [bleep].
- All right, I'm out of here.
- Ma, first of all, you came to this house.
You didn't apologize to her.
You've been insulting her since you walked through the door.
A bigger conversation need to happen.

- Y'all looking good tonight. I got--
- Thank you. Thank you so much.
- I'm at Chadd Black official tequila launch party,
and I got my queen on my side.
All eyes is on us.
It feels like Jay-Z and Beyoncé just stepped in the building.
You know what I'm saying?
- Give Chadd a birthday shout-out real quick.
- Happy birthday, Chadd.
- Chadd, we going to name this baby after you.
[all cheering]
- This is my first time stepping out
since my contract ended with 1501.
And if I'm going to go independent, hell,
I need to be at all the events so I can promote my [bleep]
and find something new.
[funky music]
- Ooh.
- Hey.
- Ooh, you look so good, girl.
- Don't start. You're so full of it.
- Hey, you do.
- My brother, I peep your game so hard.
All in Bahamas, Amy this, ah.
Then I see you on the blogs with Erica,
then you [bleep] with Erica.
You don't know where the [bleep] land
and I don't like it.
- Karlie is the last person that should be tracking
anybody I'm linking up with.
Karlie done had so many different dudes on her arm,
she could be a Kardashian.
- So what's going on with you and Erica?
- I'm [bleep] with Erica. We're a thing.
[bleep] the booty, the front, the back.
- No, don't say-- I don't need--I don't--
- I spit in her mouth. - No details.
Erica was talking so much [bleep] about me and my man,
Kai, but after he was acting like that with Amy--
- No. See, I knew-- - Oh!
- And I knew you were gonna do that.
- Maybe you should focus on finding
out who Khaotic is dating because I don't think it's you.
- One thing about us supporting her in all her endeavors.
- OK. - For sure.
- Because I saw her on a blog,
she not with the label, and--
- Yeah, she no longer with 1501.
She's actually independent now. - Interesting.
- And whatever she need from me, I got.
And whether if it's some money--
- We have to shoot a video, so you're paying for the video?
- Huh?
- Because I got a song with Erica.
Are you paying for the video?
- Ain't you got a man? - Yeah, I sure do.
- So why he not putting up?
- You don't know what he's putting up,
but I [bleep] I could put anything in my pocket.
- Oh, OK.
Erica told me that Karlie was dating
the president of her label and didn't tell her about it.
I wasn't even surprised.
That is typical, messy Karlie Redd right there,
and now you going to ask me for money
when you sleeping with the owner of the label,
the label that didn't even look after my girl, Erica?
Come on, now.
So I want to know this.
How is it going to work with this song
if you basically with her ex-label?
- You all in the business.
- Yeah, because I want to know because I want to--
we need to maybe have a discussion.
- Oh, yeah, we-- that's my girl.
- So we can figure it all out. - That's my girl.
- OK. Grab your drink. I paid for it.
- You ain't paid for this [bleep].
It's free.
- So you get her to agree my do a song with you
without telling her that you dating the label exec.
If that ain't a snake in the grass, I don't know what is.
So what I'm about to do is I'm about to take Erica
over here to Karlie and let them hash this out.
- So what's going on?
- I was [bleep], but you just asked
for the money for y'all video.
- Yes, I sure am, because you was flossing.
He was straight flossing. - I'm confused.
Enlighten me on this conversation.
- Because he was flossing.
He was like, "I got Erica," which I appreciate.
And I said, "Oh, so you got it?
Then you got the money for the video."
- But that's not-- - But that's your video.
- Talk that [bleep], baby. - And I said, "You know what?
I'm going to share the song with her."
- Not only is Karlie dealing with a man I cannot stand,
but then she didn't tell me, and then going to come
to an event talking about,
"Khaotic should pay for the video for me and you?"
Are you [bleep] serious? Like girl, where is your man?
But I'm glad you brought up the song.
I'm glad you brought it up because I'm cool on the song.
I don't even want to put it out no more.
- ♪♪ Make my way to the top, and there ain't no stoppin' ♪♪
[dramatic music]
- I'm cool on the song.
I don't even want to put it out no more.
- Why? - You know what I'm saying?
And it has nothing to do with you.
It has everything to do with your man.
You know what?
I was really interested in doing the record with her.
But the more I thought about it,
I just started to think that man is going to be
involved in the song somehow.
And I don't want him a part of any business that I'm doing,
so now there will be no rollout.
There will be no video.
[bleep] the mixing, [bleep] the mastering.
Erica Banks is out the door.
It has everything to do with your man,
and I'm not even the type of woman
to make decisions on feelings.
So right there, I got--
- OK, wait, I saw that on the internet,
you said you wasn't signed to them.
How so?
- Once my contract was up, it's up.
I'm moving on. I could have re-signed.
And they were trying to negotiate that,
your man in particular,
was trying to renegotiate me staying.
But I was like, y'all don't know how to treat a bitch.
- Well, they just signed me.
- Oh. [laughter]
- And they put big money behind me.
- You all right, baby? - [laughing]
- You need mouth-to-mouth resuscitation?
You good? - I'm fine in a second.
- You might need a little mouth-to-mouth.
That [bleep] me up. Ooh, girl!
- You said they did what?
- They just signed me. - Oh.
- On paper? - On paper?
- Did I just get replaced with a 50-year-old?
What the [bleep]?
Is this really happening right now?
I can't do this song. I'm a real bitch.
You know what I'm saying? I've got to keep it real.
- That's [bleep] up, though, sis. I ain't gonna lie.
- That's [bleep] up? - Yeah, that's [bleep] up.
- How is it [bleep] up? Y'all [bleep] me over.
And now that you went and [bleep] me over--
- I ain't [bleep] you over. I ain't [bleep]--
- I said your man did. Your man did.
- But I ain't got nothing to do with that.
- It's your man, right?
- That's my [bleep] on some personal [bleep]
but not on some business [bleep].
That ain't got nothing to do with you.
- You just said he signed you. - Yeah, he signed me--
- But y'all ain't got no business together?
- He signed me-- - Figure it out.
- No, I got it. - We two types of bitches.
I'm the type of bitch who will not [bleep]
with somebody if [bleep] somebody [bleep] with.
You might be the type of bitch that [bleep]
with somebody who [bleep] somebody you don't [bleep]
with. I don't rock like that.
I love you to death.
I personally wanted to give you a chance and rock with you
because everybody got their opinions about you.
But I was a real bitch. I came in, I [bleep] with you.
- The song is fire.
- The song is fire, but the song is in the trash
because that's your [bleep] and I can't [bleep] with him.
- All this is because of Kai.
Me, personally, I don't let no man stop my business,
but that's what kids do these days.
They [bleep] with the business man.
To me, that's [bleep] up because, if anything--
- Well, I'm telling you as a real bitch.
- I would never do that to you. You know what I'm saying?
- This man lies on me.
He trash-talks my name to other people.
Maybe he just don't like me as a person.
- Who? Why?
- Karlie, how you don't know this about your own man?
You need to figure out who you laying next to
because you don't know.
- No, you need to figure out who you laying next to
because this [bleep] in the Bahamas--
- This ain't got nothing to do with me.
- All with Amy! - Now, you--
- Why you over here talking about my [bleep]?
Oh, no, who you laying next to?
- Hold on, hold on.
- Because you was Amy-fied the whole trip.
- Watch your mouth. Watch your mouth.
Watch your mouth.
- No, no, he was all--no, no--
- We was talking about a song, and now you talking
about what my man doing. - Because you mad.
Now you mad she don't want to do the song,
now you trying to come for me because she
just came for your man. Don't try to do that.
- I'll tell you what's up.
Just like you told me what's up with my [bleep].
And just like you told me what's up with my [bleep].
- Bring it the [bleep] down.
What about it?
- Just like you told me what's up with my [bleep],
you talked [bleep] he do all this.
- OK, but let's not take the focus off
of what we talking about. - No, we not.
- I need you to understand,
"Lady Death," can't [bleep] with the song.
- You walking off the whole label because of him?
- I'm leaving the whole label
because the whole label didn't do me right.
Your man is just a big part of it
because he just run his mother[bleep] mouth too much.
- He ain't never talked to me about you.
- You know why? Because you don't know him.
- Just like you don't know me.
- Just like you need to shut the hell up.
- OK, I'm sorry.
You ain't got to further explain yourself.
- Yeah, you ain't got to explain yourself.
- We got other places to go. - I don't--
- You told her what it is. - Shut up, Khaotic.
- No, no, because we do got other places to go.
- Watch your ass.
- Just you relax, Karlie. - No, watch him.
Watch him, bitch.
Watch him because I'm telling you, watch your man, sis.
Watch him.
- Coming up on "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta"...
- It's been very, very hard for me to conceive.
Thank you to my sister.
She's going to donate her eggs. - Wait. Hold on. Wait.
Time-out. I thought we was off that.
This is like "Jerry Springer" right now.

- Whoa.
- Hey.
- Yo. [all cheering]
- Hello, everyone.
- Auntie Judy. [all cheering]
- Grandma brought your favorite cake.
Happy birthday, handsome grandson.
- Today we are celebrating our son, Amir, birthday,
and we having the whole family here.
Yandy just got back from Houston,
and she hasn't even crossed paths with my mom yet.
I had enough with them fighting,
and I've been trying to talk some sense into my mom,
and I think I finally got through to her.
So hopefully this is a nice drama-free party
and everyone can get along.
- So, Judy, how have you been since Dubai?
- Oh, working hard and taking care of my granddaughter.
- You got the energy for all of that?
- No, I left that energy in Dubai.
- Oh. - Uh-oh.
- Excuse me, Laura, I just wanted to say something
to Yan since I'm here.
Yan, so I just didn't want to be in your house,
your and Mendeecees' house, with us not speaking,
so I think I need to tell you things
have been bothering me since Dubai.
So I owe you this conversation.
When I went to Dubai, my plans wasn't
to talk about your wedding or to destroy your marriage.
When the drama came about, I went along with it,
but that was not my intentions.
Do you understand where I'm coming from?
Because it has been a long time,
and I don't hold grudges.
- I don't know if she's trying to apologize,
make excuses, make me look like a fool,
or make herself look like a fool.
But something ain't right about this whole conversation,
and I'm about sick of it.
It's easy to say you want to bury it.
It's easy to say you just want to move on,
but these things keep happening.
I just think you owe me an apology.
- I think I owed y'all an apology
because, like I said again, both of you,
that wasn't my intention.
And I hope you don't go back over what I did wrong
and how many times I did this and stuff like that
because it's not going to get us ahead.
- I just need a real solid apology
because what you're doing, you're not
taking accountability for what happened.
- I'm not going to say nothing else.
- I just don't want this to continue
to happen because through all of this,
I don't know what I've done to you.
- I just explained myself, and I told you how I feel.
And I apologized already,
and I don't know what to say anymore.
- You didn't apologize.
You said you want to apologize, but you didn't apologize.

[quirky music]
You know I have love for Mendeecees.
And I have much love for you.
Yes, when I'm angry with Mendeecees,
he's the closest one to you.
And sometimes he doesn't listen,
and he's very sarcastic.
And I take it out and put it on you so he could--
maybe he would pay attention.
So you don't deserve it, OK?
I hope that you understand that I want to work it out.
It's going to take time.
It's more to be done than to talk about.
- We need those actions. - All right.
- [laughs] - All right, all right.
- So, no, it was not the best apology, but it was something.
Baby steps.
- Moving forward, we're family.
We're going to figure it out. We're going to fight.
We're going to fuss, but we're going to make it work
because I have amazing news
that's going to really bring us together.
You guys know I have been suffering with infertility,
and it's been very, very hard for me to conceive.
And I just want to say thank you
to my sister who's going to help me along
my journey of conceiving.
- Wait.
- So she has been my rock in this process,
and we just got approved.
She's going to help me. - Wait. Hold on. Time-out.
- She's going to donate her eggs.
- Wait. Hold on. Time-out. I thought we was off that.
- I never really got a chance to tell Kisha
what Mendeecees' reaction was.
And the last time I spoke to her,
she thinks he's on board with this.
This is not going to go over well.
- So we're gonna have another grandchild?
- We're not off anything.
Yes, we're going to have a grandchild...
- Oh, [bleep]. - And all of that.
- Yeah, what's up? Yan? What the [bleep] is going on?

- Yeah, what's up, Yan? What the [bleep] is going on?
What's going on? I thought we had this conversation.
Why are we talking about donating eggs right now
at a kid's birthday party?
I didn't want the kids to know about this at all.
This is inappropriate.
This [bleep] sounds like a circus right now.
This is like "Jerry Springer" right now.
- Don't ruin Kisha's moment.
- Yo, Ralph, let me tell you something real quick.
- I have no idea what's going on.
- Hold on. Let me tell you something. Listen. Listen.
Do you know, if Yandy gives Kisha a egg,
that's Yandy's child she's carrying, right?
- That's not my child. - That not really her child.
- That's not her child?
- No, we signed papers that once I give her my egg,
it's hers.
- Because I wanted to have a child with my DNA.
Who's the next best person to go to?
It's my sister. So that's what I want to do.
- Yeah, but, listen, so you're giving
up the child for adoption or something like that, right?
- No. - No, no, no. no.
- She's going to carry-- - So--
- Yandy is not carrying the baby.
- Exactly.
[quirky music]
- They're going to take-- - Yandy's egg--
- The egg, and they're going to insert it.
- And they're going to take Mendeecees' egg?
- No. - Ma, I don't have an egg.
- I mean, but, no, but he's going to be the father.
- No.
- He's not going to be the father.
- No, I'm not. Listen. - That's what I wanted to know.
- So I never want to tell a woman what she can do
with her body, but I think she should value
my opinion as her husband.
And it shouldn't matter for something.
- I do know Kisha has been wanting to have
a child for a long time.
- For a long time! - OK, all right.
- A long time! - I know. I know.
- You're not going to deny this of me!
You're not going to take this from me!
- Just relax a minute.
- It's my sister, and she agreed to give me her egg.
I think it's OK. - OK.
- It's OK. It shouldn't even be like that.
- I pretty much told Kisha this is a done deal
because this is my eggs, my choice.
However, Mendeecees is my husband.
And at the end of all of this,
if he is completely against this,
this is really going to complicate things.
Mendeecees, listen. - What?
- You've never had this experience...
- Yeah.
- Of going through what she's going through.
- You're right.
- Parenting looks different for everybody.
So you can't sit here and say how one person needs to do it
because you've been blessed
to be able to do it the easy way.
- And you know that this is Yandy's egg.
That should make you love my child even more because it's
a part of your family. - Listen. Y'all crazy.
I ain't got no say-so in this. - Yes, you do have say-so.
- No I do not, because if I had a say-so in this,
we wouldn't be having this conversation at all.
- No, that's not true.
- And you just don't understand.
- Ma, I'm outta here. - That's not true.
Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't walk away right now.
I figure we can work it out.
Like, y'all don't even understand.
Y'all don't even understand. - I love you.
We love you. I love you. - It's OK, though.
We're going to figure it out
and we going to work it out somehow.
[crying] I don't want to talk no more.
- This is very deep.
- Next on "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta"...
- Cour'don's birthday is coming up,
so I'm going to invite their dad, too.
- Really?
- I'm just scared about opening the door and it backfires.
What's up? - Hey. What's happening?
- This different.
- But, listen, someone offered me, right,
somebody offered me $100,000 for my seed.
- And you don't got the check? - No, I didn't take the money.
- [bleep] that. - Where they at?
- I love you.
Forever gonna love you. You're my soulmate. I know.
- I don't trust this whole situation.
- We're finna move in together.
- See, this is the [bleep] that I'm talking about.
- Because truth be told, it's been--
I told y'all it's been two weeks.
It's been months.
- What? - It's been months.
