We actually connected off of Instagram.
We just fell in love with each other.
So it's time for her to meet the other girls.
- I'm stressed out.
I want the girls to be flower girls,
so I invited Sina, sent her a message on Instagram,
but she's not replied back.
- Why did Kendra send a Sina a DM?
- You know, I'm a Grammy member.
I went and submitted you for best reggae album.
- You're lying! - To the Grammys.

- Are you going to Joc's wedding?

she and Joc used to date for 13 years.
- Ooh.
- Okay. So, Meda, let's compare dates.
Around the time that you was dating Joc.

- Those who know, know. And we at the table know.
- Why now tell all the girls,
all the "messy girls" at the table?
I just feel like Meda
probably should have just kept this a secret.
- And we've been trying to [bleep] Kendra. Listen.
- That man about to get married.
- That's what the [bleep] it comes down to.
- I hate this is happening.
And why the [bleep] do Spice and Meda have to put me in?
I have to take Meda outside.
I'ma find out what I need to hear from her,
'cause I wanna know if she lying or telling the truth.
You know, people be lying on Joc beef jerky sometime.
I need a cigarette [indistinct].
And I found you been messing with Joc all this time.
- She wasn't messing with him. They had a relationship.
- That's what I'm--messy relation is deep.
My nerve is bad.
- Me and Joc, the last time we was together,
I didn't know about her. I was with Joc in 2019.
- No, you weren't.
- I've been through a lot of [bleep] with him.
We did what we did. - Like what?
- Jasiel was my first country dude.
You understand what I'm saying? And I like to think
that I was his first smart, educated, boss chick.
I was busy. I'm in the music industry,
and I think I was something that he could chase after.
I feel like I made him the sapiosexual.
Like, you know, he wasn't on that path.
- I did not know what sapiosexual meant.
You know I don't know them big-ass words.
Siri, what is sapiosexual?
I get it, Joc. I see what you on.
Will you stop [bleep] him once he married or no?
- I don't--I don't do married. I ain't go front. I love him.
And like I said, he is always gonna love me.
I'm always gonna be the one that got away. I take--
- Do you think he's ready for this marriage?
- I think Jasiel has a healthy appetite, and it's either--
- What do you mean?
- It's either she gonna be in denial
or she just don't give a [bleep].
- I don't know if Meda is right or if Kendra is in denial.
All I know, Kendra's about to get married to Joc,
and I just hope
that they are both truthful to each other and that's it.
- Listen, boss bitches need love.
- We do.
- And Jasiel filled that void for her.
So she's maybe willing to overlook anything else
because love is hard to find.
- Please don't go to the wedding.
- I'm not.

The Meda girl was saying that she's been with Joc,

I'ma stay out of it.
Hi. - What?
- Hello?
- What? What you looking like that for?
Hi. How y'all doing? - What's up?
- Can't you just say, "Hi"? You coming to give me a hug?
- What? - Good gracious.
Girl, I had to run and shop a little bit.
I see you have some cute things in here
since I was in here last.
You got some more stuff.
- You know I keep that new drip.
What's up? What do you wanna talk about?
What?
- Well, I wanna talk about you and your daddy's relationship.
- Okay.
- Because it's really, really rough.
- And it has nothing to do with me.
- You know, we talk almost every day.
You know,
you done told him one time recently that you love him.
And he then took that and ran with it, 'cause he love--
- I mean-- - No. He loved that.
That means so much to him.
- My actual real biological father's name
is Harold Buckner.
When my mom and I moved to Atlanta, I was a child.
He was still in Illinois and out of my whole life.
He's probably come maybe like five or six times to visit.
We don't have at all the relationship
we're supposed to have as father and daughter.
If my daddy walked through that door right now
and Karter came walking through here,
Karter would not know who he is.
- Hell no. - I just always felt like
we need to really sit down and have a talk,
and try to try to get everything back on track
and mend you guys' relationship.
And I think he just really, really want to hear from you.
In fact, I know he do. He wants you--
- No. No, that's bull[bleep].
- He wants you to call him and say--
- What?
- She done tell that man to come down here.
- So many times. - That's what I thought.
- And see, this is what I'm not gonna do.
I'm always the one who always gotta extend out
the [bleep] olive branch.
I'm the child in this situation.
With my dad sometimes I feel like I'm the parent,
because he doesn't want
to accept the responsibility of anything.
And I know he's had previous issues
with certain things in his life.
My dad is a vet
and, you know, dealing with the trauma of PTSD.
I try to understand that.
But then at the same time, he doesn't think he's done
anything wrong in this relationship.
If you have a child and you have not been
in that child's life, that's clearly something wrong.
- But listen. How about me inviting him down here?
- Where is he gonna stay?
- Well, he could stay in a hotel.
- We'll put him in a hotel.
- You know, regardless to the fact
that we don't have a relationship,
I only have one father, biological daddy, in my life.
So yeah, I'm willing to talk to him and try to fix it.
You know what? I'll be mad and disappointed in my dad
and the way our relationship is and the way he is.
But Kirk lost his mom.
And I saw how that literally changed him.
And I'm willing to see what happens,
and if it goes well and we can mend
and it can work out great.
And if it doesn't, I guess I'll continue to go my way
and you can continue to go yours.
You let us know.
- Okay.
- After you talk to him. - Okay.
- And we'll--once he confirms, we'll set it up from there.
And I'm down to talk.

Apart from the rehearsal with Shaggy and the performance,

- Me? - At the dinner?
- What do you mean? - Um.

you know, the past, right?
Because I wouldn't want Karlie to bring a girl at my table
that used to [bleep] with Justin.
- Mm-hmm.
- 'Cause that would've been, like, some really low [bleep].
So I just wanted to be clear so she can know that,
"Listen, that was that." - Right.

2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, '17, like--
- I felt like I had to say that instantly
because of his "significant other."
People were gonna look at me like I was some side chick.
I was there from 2008. I was there before them.
Everybody's quick to blame the chick,
but they don't understand that they need to blame the man.
If I don't know about some other chick
or I ask you about another chick
and you tell me that it's nothing--
- So you never know about Kendra?
- No. Why would--how would I know about Kendra?
I lived in New York City. I didn't live in Atlanta.
- You never see Joc and Kendra on TV?
- I don't--honey,
I don't--I don't have cable. I ain't gonna lie to you.
- Meda, you better stop playing with me.
- I promise you I don't have cable.
- Meda, never pop--
- But that's neither here nor there.
Let me be clear about this.
If I did hear her name from somebody,
why was I supposed to take it seriously?
He date mad chicks. He was not my man.
I just came out of a marriage.
He was somebody that I would get up with,
and we would have fun and I liked being around him.
- Oh, my God.
- You understand what I'm saying?
- This is like a lot for me to take in.
So I know some people probably looking at me like
I should have go to Kendra and say something,
but it's just not my place to go to her
and tell her nothing at all.
I'm glad that I'm on my way to New York
and getting the [bleep] outta here.
'Cause I don't want to be the one where I go tell her.

"Spice mash up Kendra and Joc wedding."

Whatever she knows from now on is her business.
I don't even care anymore.
I could show you DMs right now.
- But I stay out of it.
'Cause I'm like, "I'm the baby mama.
And every time I say something--
- Even they--oh, my God. They be like--
- "Oh, Sina's bitter. She's mad."
Or she's like--I'm not mad. I'm a beautiful girl.
Do I need to be mad? [scoffs]
- Period. - Do I need to be?
Do I need to be... both: Mad?
- No, I'm not mad.

so he could just live his life and be happy.
- Coming up on "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta."
- As a little girl,
all I wanted from my dad was him to be around.
- You want him to be something he's not.
- Maybe it ain't supposed to happen.
He's not there, happy, and enjoying all the time.

My wedding is ten days out,
and we are nowhere near complete.
- I'ma tell you where we at.
So this is cute, but I wasn't feeling the material.
- I've never been under this much stress
in my life at one time.
- This is a lot. So the bridal shower,
we probably just finna do a kickback for that.
We have already spent over $100,000 on this wedding,
and it's not even here.
I've made the executive decision
to have the bridal shower at the house.
Like, I don't wanna spend any more money,
and I certainly don't wanna spend
another 50,000 on a bridal shower.

- But you know what they want for décor?
Well, just for décor they talking $50-[bleep]-thousand.
You know how much they want for the sound system
rush job last minute?
30 grand. And this whole thing with the wedding, man,
it's not even about the money. It's, like, the principle.
- So when your guests come in,
they're just seeing drapery. They don't see nothing else.
- Things are gonna change now,
because the décor's gonna change.
Now you gotta bring in a different company,
do your sound system at a new venue.
It costs three times more than the original venue.
But if we need to push it off, postpone it, let's do that.
- Let's eat, drink. Time to party, man.
- This [bleep] costly.
And it's not even--it's not even just the price of it.
It's the whole not being fully prepared and fully planned out.
- No, I don't wanna wait.
I'm tired of just being your girlfriend or your fiancée.
Like, I wanna get married.
I'm just, like,
literally about to just go 5150 really, really quick.
Like, it's a lot.
Maybe it ain't supposed to happen.
He's not there, happy, and enjoying all the time.
[smooches]
What's up? - Nothing.
- The planning is definitely scaring me at this point,
because I still gotta a show in Illinois before the wedding.
I gotta go out town tomorrow.
- I remember you saying that.
It just bring a whole new panic.
What if something go wrong with that?
- I have shows all the way up
to the night before the wedding.
And I'm actually gonna fly home the day of the wedding.
I mean, it was already booked.
- I already know.
This is another headache

- So after Shirleen tried to orchestrate putting Rasheeda
and her father together,
he actually made a mistake and called Rasheeda
and then hung up the phone.
So Rasheeda calls him back,
and then they go arguing like crazy.
And I could tell Rasheeda's very stressed out.
She's working all the time, dealing with the kids,
dealing with the business, dealing with life.
I was like, "You know what? Let me try to get her
to relax her mind and kind of chill out
and just kind of let things go."
- Oh, it's so sweet. You know you getting some.
- Uh-oh. Oh, snap. - [laughs]
Facts, right? - No.
- Well, I will say Kirk doing this
has definitely flipped the switch to be like,
"You know what? Unwind and let go for a minute."
- It's easy for me to sit. - This is sweet.
I could not believe-- so this is what you was doing.
- Yeah, man. - [laughs] I know. What?
- Trying to get you back on the right pace.
- Listen--
- I mean, I know the fight with your dad last night
really kind of hurt you.
- As a little girl, all I wanted from my dad
was him to be around.
- In your mind, what is the ideal relationship
you see having with your father?
- I'm not asking for the world.
I mean, he doesn't live in Atlanta.
But my thing is I just wanted
to try to have, like, a healthy relationship.
- You want him to be something he's not.
What you gotta do is figure out how to make a relationship
either where you at now,
'cause you can't never make yourself a little girl again.
- When me and him got into that argument, he got me so heated.
Because he was basically acting like, "You never invite me."
First of all, you never are present.
You are never being a real father.
And you wanna sit here and tell me what I'm not doing?
The reason why we never see each other
is because no timing is ever good for you.
Like, what's the problem? You don't wanna see me?
You don't wanna see Karter? You don't wanna see Ky?
You don't want to-- you know, what is it?
- That's what you think in your head.
- And to me, I just look at it like that [bleep]
be kind of hurtful, because this is like--
- See, that's why I recorded you.
Because I wanted you to be able to listen back
to the stress level to where you were.
- Every time I say, "Come,
you can come when you get ready,"
you never show up.
It's been like that all my life.
- You hold that [bleep] against me all your life.
- Well, obviously you're holding something against me,
because you won't-- - [indistinct shouting]
- First of all--no, you holding [bleep] against me,
because you ignore my [bleep] calls.
And then you call me by accident.
'Cause you didn't wanna talk to me.
- You know what? I'ma tell you one thing.
- No, don't tell me [bleep].
[bleep] you. Stay outta my life.
I don't give a [bleep]. [bleep] him.
- Coming up on "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta."
- I keep thinking like-- - What you gonna do?
- If I tell what is going on,

I was yelling. - Yeah.
- I don't yell at my parents. Like, that's not cool.
So for that to happen and for him to just be so cold,
it really hurt my feelings.
We shouldn't even have arguments ever,
because we don't even be around each other long enough
to even do that. - But you know your daddy.
Either you gotta accept him for what he is,
or you gotta make this say,
"You know, I don't need this kind of stress in my life."
- I guess I get emotional because you be like,
"Damn. You my daddy.
You ain't got no sense of..."
- Well, don't get emotional. - "Anything."
Like, what the [bleep] is that about?
- Because you been emotional for too much,
and it's bad stress for you.
- I don't understand it.
- It's different kind of people, baby.
- I don't understand it.
I feel like really though? 'Cause it is stressful.
Just, like, it blew my whole day.
You know what I mean? Just that whole argument.
- It is blowing this moment too.
- Yeah. And it's really nice. - That's my problem.
I'm gonna--I'm put this conversation--
- I'm trying to bring you away from that
and do something different
and put something different on your mind.
- You know what? I don't wanna talk about my daddy no more.
I just need to kick these boots off,
put these legs up to the moon,
and enjoy the night with my husband.
And get these roses off the bed
before they be stuck in my booty crack.
I really just think to just let it go for a minute, you know,
and just put it on ice, just let it be what it is.

I really couldn't enjoy myself. - After that?

What did she say?

- What? - '19?
- Yes. - '20? '20 for sure?
- I'm this whole girl's bridesmaid.
You know what I'm saying?
So I decided to bring my girl Renni with me
to Kendra's bridal shower, because I need some genuine,
real advice on what to do in this situation.
Should I tell Kendra? Should I not tell Kendra?
With her being so busy, today would be the only
and last day that I can say anything to her.
And I feel like with Renni not knowing all the other girls
like that, I can vent to her.
And she could just be open-minded
and just listen to me.
I'm like, "I just came around. You made me a bridesmaid.
I'm honored." But at the same time I'm like,
"I don't wanna be stepping on nobody's...
both: Toes.
- So I don't wanna come to live in no bad ass--"
- You still got to go in there and read the room.
- Yes.
I don't know if bitch Meda is telling the truth.
I don't know if she's lying.
I don't even really know
if that is my position to say anything.
- Would you wanna know?
Like, would you want somebody to tell you?
- Yeah, tell me so I could go ahead
and just beat everybody up.
And then we probably still might get married.
- Get married.
- I just don't wanna [bleep] up her big day.
I would feel horrible if I tell her and it don't be true.
- Yeah. - So we about to walk in here.
What you think I should do?
- I think you should do
whatever to have your conscious clear.
- I'm really nervous.
I think this shower is gonna be so awkward for me,
and I'm gonna try my hardest not to give off those vibes.
Because this is my first time actually meeting Kendra,
but it's gonna be really hard to sit around her
knowing what I know.
I'm just gonna be there for moral support for my friend.

She was at the Kanye concert when I was there.

Are you from here? - No, I'm from South Carolina.

I'm like I had a fiancé that was incarcerated.

Like, I don't really like talking on the phone a lot.

In the beginning, I hated that.
I hated it so much, and I hated even--my husband
wanted me to write letters.
But what I can say looking back,
that's the most intimate we've ever been.
- Like, now I've appreciated it.
- Being on the phone, there's no interruptions.
The person is so-- like, I'm so into him.
'Cause that's the only time I get to spend.
And every concern, everything that matters to you--
- It's heard. - I know. I know.
- Everything is heard. Everything is magnified.
If somebody hurts you, it hurts him.
If someone makes you happy, it makes him happy.

care about what you got going on.
