- So where's the man?
- Girl, he's booked tonight in Chicago.
- I want everybody to say congratulations.
All: Congratulations!
- Joc's wedding is coming up. We were invited.
So we have to go to that.
- We can go to the wedding off of the strength of Joc,
but it's safe to say, like,
Erica and Safaree, we're not together anymore.
- My mom got into a car accident.
Like, she's not getting better.
She's not stable.
She's still in the trauma unit.
- If you decided to go tomorrow,
then they'll gradually wean her off the ventilator.
[dramatic music]
- Oh!
- Okay, so Amina, around the time that you was dating Joc.
- 2017, 2019 and it goes. So you know what I'm saying?
- Ooh. - Wait, is it 2020 for sure?
- [bleep] - [screams]
- I have too much in my thoughts and in my mind
going to face Kendra right now and I'm not gonna say nothing
'cause I'm already feeling weird.
[cheering]
- No, no, no, no. - [crying]
- Kendra, no, no. No, no, no.
- If there is anyone who
should show just cause
as to why these two...
- Y'all, y'all, I'm glad you asked.
Excuse me, everybody. Yo, everything.

Yeah, some people are gonna be like, this is very tacky,
or this is distasteful, but I say, you know what?
They'll never forget this wedding.

'cause I'm praying to God Amina don't walk

When it comes to Bambi and Scrap,
I've never been worried about them.
We really do have bigger fish to fry than Momma Dee.
What we really need to worry about is making sure
that Kendra knows who the man is that she married.
Yeah, so let's talk about it.
So why your boy asked me, like,
"Yo, let's go to Joc's wedding."
He invited both of us as a couple.

- 15 minutes after I post her walking down the aisle,
a friend of a friend of this friend named Amina
hit me up and was like,
"Bitch, he's actually marrying her?
He [bleep] with Amina."
Do you know who Amina is?
- Ever since the wedding, people been hopping in my DMs,
mentioning Joc and a mistress named Amina.
I didn't even reach out to Kendra
because I'm like, you know, people start rumors.
I didn't know if it was true,
but Erica people be having all the tea.
So I'm like, it must be true.
This is my thing.
Of course Sierra was in the wedding also.
- Yeah, she was.
- But somebody told me that, like,
she knew what the [bleep] about this girl.
- You're lying. - No, no.
- My Sierra Gates is not feeling good about this.
- No, she can't be. I [bleep] with Kendra.

- So, wait, are you gonna tell her?
- That's what I'm saying. Like, do I [bleep] tell her?
- Yes, the [bleep] you tell her.
- So what the [bleep] do I tell her?
- You [bleep] tell her what the [bleep] time it is
if that's your bitch.
- Yo.
- That's like you not telling me about Safaree.
When it comes to being a married woman
and realizing that your man has been living a double life,
I'm very familiar.
I've been unfortunate where all my information
comes from the outside world.
It's a disgusting feeling.
If there's anybody that's supposed
to share this information, it's Kendra's real friend.
- The [bleep] that I heard
is beyond him just having a [bleep] mistress.
- Are you talking about the baby?
- That. - [groans]
- Kendra don't even really read the blogs and stuff like that,
but we probably need to holler at her about it.
I don't even know what Kendra is going through right now.
I don't know what she knows, but I mean, she's newly married
and then all these rumors about her husband is circulating.
I don't really feed into blogs.
It's a whole lot of BS,
but I'm like, I have to let Kendra know
what her husband has been up to.
Like, I can't even sleep at night.
You what I'm saying?
- Call [bleep] out. She needs to know what's up.
So eventually it has to come out.

I don't really know what's going on with my mom.
I don't have a clear answer to even give them.
So until I do, I'll just tell them what they need to know.
- It's one of those things, no matter what we go through,
like, I'm always here for you if you need me.
Especially when it comes down to you and them kids,
like, I'm there.
- Yeah, like, if I had still been feeling a type of way
and holding a grudge and me and you had never spoke,
I don't know how this would be.
Like, I was to a point where
I was okay with it just being me and my kids.
And then when I came back here,
we've actually grown a lot closer.
Sometimes I'm a bitch, I know. I know that.
I'm gonna take my accountability for that.
When we were younger, my brother, my sister, and I,
like, we were really close.
Like, we were just friends on top of being siblings.
We kind of grew apart
and kind of just focused on ourselves.
I focused on my kids
and trying to figure my life out and my career.
But my mom always told us to stick together
and right now, that is exactly what we're doing.
I mean, listen, I don't like looking at my momma like that.
She talked the first night
and that next day when I said,
"You gonna be okay. You gonna be all right."
And she shook her head.
No, my mom ain't never said
that she wasn't going to be okay.
[soft music]
Like, she... that ain't her.
Like, is this gonna be over? When is this gonna be over?
When am I gonna be able to hear your voice again?
Like, when am I gonna be able to give you a hug?
♪ ♪
Am I gonna be able to do that?
For something like this to happen
has really opened my eyes and given me
a different perspective on my relationships with people,
the things that I have, the accomplishments I've made,
the simple things.
'Cause you never know when that's gonna be taken from you.

- So what is your schedule for this week?
- You know, going out of town. - [coos]
- What you got out of town? - Shows.
What you got this weekend?
I've got to go record some things.
- Yeah, you know, I ain't gonna say nothing.
You what I'm saying?
- What you mean, you ain't saying anything?
- You know, I'm a little... I kind of motivated you.
You what I'm saying?
- Oh, you want me to give you flowers.
- Give me my flowers.
- You want me to tell you that you motivating me.
I am back in the studio, back making music,
and I definitely appreciate my husband's support,
but my husband wants his flowers, you know?
He can earn them by holding me down.
Go on the road, collect your little coins,
come home, take care of the kids,
without leaving the majority of the load on your spouse.
And it can be done. I'm doing it.
So anyway, Erica came up there to the store.
She basically was, like, confirming
all this stuff I've been hearing.
- What you been hearing? About who?
- So this lady named Amina. - Mm-hmm.
- Has been, like, Joc's mistress for years.
And on top of all that. - Wow.
- They're also saying that he has a baby.
- Sweet mother of Jesus.
Well, we don't know this. This is all...
- Okay, well, you need to go holler at him
and figure out because...
- This is all this crazy lady.
- Kendra is, like, my friend. You what I'm saying?
- Well, I'm gonna go talk to him.
"Cuz, all I'm saying...
Cuz-o, they say you got a mistress and a baby."
It's crazy. You what I'm saying?
'Cause it's a baby, then it's a mistress.
And that's too much. You what I'm saying?
Even for your boy. You what I'm saying?
I went over to Ma Dukes' house the other day.
Yeah, old Ma Dukes' house the other day.
- Good for you.
- She still on the war path about...
You what I'm saying?
Us not letting her see the babies.
- Who's not letting her see the babies?
- That's what I said.
Ma Dukes and my wife, man, Bam,
they'll probably always be a work in progress.
I just feel like I need to bring both of them together
'cause at the end of the day, I mean, we always family.
So that being said, you know,
I told Ma Dukes to come over tonight.
- Huh? - [coos]
- ♪ You seem like a dream ♪
♪ Now it's all about me not you ♪
♪ Not you, yes, all about me ♪
- I thought that me and Bam was on the right track,
but no, apparently we got some more work to do.
If I have to drive all the way up north
to put that son of mine and his wife in check,
I will.
Hey, Bam. - Hi.
- Hey, Cali Cal. Hey, Cali Cal.
Yes... - Go down to the basement.
- Thanks for having me over. - Yes.
Scrap just always throw me into these situations.
Listen, I have a three time per year maximum
that I can deal with your momma
and that's probably Christmas, one of the kid's birthdays,
and, you know, her dog's funeral.
But this is my husband's mom.
You finally made it. - Yes.
I just wanted to come over to see my grandkids.
I just felt like I wasn't wanted,
and I feel like if your mom can come in and out,
I should be able to come in and out.
- This is my house. This is his house.
I'm her daughter. This is your son.
So if my mom can walk in this house,
you should be able to do the same thing.
And so you can't blame that on nobody but you.
- I said, "Bambi packs these kids up
and flies them to the West Coast."
- Mm-hmm. - I'm right here in Atlanta.
Just come and visit Grandma. You know, let me use the baby.
- But you're supposed to be my help and my support here.
So I shouldn't have to do that. Like, if my family...
- But I shouldn't have to come to y'all house all the time.
It's not about here.
It's about your house and my house too.
Everybody for centuries, for ages,
has taken their kids to go see their grandparents.
I mean, who in the hell don't do that?
Unless they dead, but the queen is alive and kicking, baby.
- If my family lived here, they're gonna be here.
You what I'm saying?
- 'Cause they trying to support.
- But that's not how it's supposed to be done.
That's excuses.
Y'all can pack them up and do the same thing.
- We have.
- That's a lot of effort
and energy for me to pack up my kids.
So why not you say, "Hey, you don't even got to do that.
We just gonna come over there."
- Is she the first woman in history
that has to dress three kids
and drive them to their grandparents?
It's in every childhood book.
To grandmother's [bleep] house we go.
You make the effort. That's what I like.
You make the effort. - I gotta go home.
- Yeah, but you make the effort.
- Now hold on. We all grown people.
She got stuff to do, I got stuff to do,
you got stuff to do.
Who gonna be the one to get up and say, "Let's go over here?"
I don't know, but don't hold nobody to it.
It's always gotta be something with them two.
Like, listen up, soon as they sit down,
they get all petty and stuff
talking about who should drive where.
Look, how about we say,
"Hey, we just gonna come to each other house.
Let everybody see the babies and keep pushing."
- Stop making excuses, both of y'all.
- You what I'm saying? - Can you agree?
Can sometimes you come to my house?
Come on now. You got to meet halfway.
Everything got to be halfway. Can't do nothing about it.
- I can sometimes but...
- I'm just an hour away. You admitted that.
- It takes me four hours to get three kids ready.
- I believe it. I believe it.
I'm gonna back down now, but not forever.
They may have won the war, but not the battle.
I messed that up, didn't I? You know what I meant.
- Just help us if you can. - Okay.
I promise after today
that I will make more of an effort.
And I finna leave 'cause I'm tired of it.

Hi, honey. - Stay away.
- [laughs]
You are so crazy. I am so tired.
- Oh, hi, brother. - How are you?
- Right, I haven't told you guys.
I've been keeping it low, but thank you for coming.

Ah, Spice. - Hi.

- Spice, I got a record deal. This is Spice.
This is the owner of the label, Legacy Records.
- Nice to meet you. - Yes.
- Big up yourself.
- So she heard a snippet
because you ain't finish the record.
But she heard a snippet and she's...
- But we're close, right? We're close.
- What do you mean? - I don't know.
- Oh, what? What do you mean?
- I don't know what's happening right now,
but the CEO of Karlie's label is talking about the demo
that I did with Karlie that's not even completed yet.
Like, I was just in the studio freestyling "a demo."
I will finish the song when I see
that Karlie takes her career as an artist seriously.
I feel like she want to do it because we're friends
and she know that I love her.
But when it comes to my artistry
and being an artist, I don't play with that.
- I think before, that may have been the story,
but this is to show how serious she is.
- She has money, and you have too.
So this is nothing for you guys to put together.
So this is not proving anything to me.
- I could show you better than I could tell you.
Where's the record? - It's undone.
- I didn't... - See?
- I did my part. - I told you.
- Let's sit, and eat, and talk
because I feel like we have a lot to discuss about this.
- She can do whatever she wants with her career,
but when it comes down to my career,
the song gotta be perfect and done.
- Do you think she's serious?
Do you think she's really serious?
- She wanted to do the song with me for two years now.
You send me the beat, I give you my part.
You still haven't finished the whole song.
- She didn't do the shit yet? It's been two years.
- I've been to the studio with you five times.
- Girl, I'm done. - Stop playing with me.
- [laughs] Not that many times.
Now that's too much.
