- While I'm on tour, Mom Dukes can come
and just help you out a little, this is real life.
- What you're not understanding is that she keep
violating it and violating it.
- If I knew that we was gonna do a split thing,
like, I don't like the way your parent is acting,
I just think that they should just stay over there.
And if I knew that, I would've never did it,
just to be honest.
- What's up with you, Safaree?
Did you talk to Erica about the paternity test?
- Safaree wants to paternity test my kids.
- What the [bleep]?
- I just wanna break down because I feel like a failure,
because of my marriage.
- You said it wasn't sexual.
What the [bleep] was it?
It's either y'all [bleep] around
or y'all didn't [bleep] around.
- September 13th, 2019.
"Where you at? Come make love to me."
Really, Jasiel? - Meda!
- I told you not to show her,
and I told you not to say nothing.
- She came to find out information.
- I'm always in some bull[bleep]
because of you, [bleep].
I can have an easier life!

- Yo.
Let me call you back.
Yo.
- That [bleep] was some bull[bleep], Jasiel.
- Kendra-- - Mm-mm, mm-mm.
- Listen to me. - No, no.
- You--first and foremost, we done went to this
person's establishment, okay?
For what? - We was invited there.
- You didn't have to go. But you just wanted to go.
- Whatever, yeah, I wanted to go.
And look what came out.
What the hell didn't come out in the wash
came out in the rinse.
It's like they got text messages.
I went down to Meda's restaurant to clear the air
and even though I wanted to write Meda off
and everything she was saying all about me,
she came and pulled receipts out of her titties.
- "You can just come down here."
- "Come make love to me."
Really, Jasiel? - Ahh!
- I oughta punch your ass, you--
- Oh, my God!
- But how can explain that?
It literally just puts me back at that same place of unrest,
like, having to be a damn fool and believe
his ass over what my eyes saw.
And it's like, I've never been that person.
- She pulled out a stack of 4x6 pieces of paper this thick
and the only thing she could show you
was, "Come make love to me"?
- Yeah. - That wasn't me.
- I don't know to Photoshop text messages.
- Why were you-- Why wouldn't you just
pull out the phone and show you?
This is 2022, who doin' that? - Whatever.
She said it's a different phone,
and it very well could be.
If there's a message in there that say that,
"Make love to me," that is bad.
That sentence alone, like, texting somebody
you used to deal with, saying [bleep] like that,
like, what?
- I just feel like this [bleep] is so petty.
And I'm looking at my lady like, "Baby, you gotta--
you gotta get it together 'cause it ain't that serious."
Oh, you say I tried to smash in 2019?
Man, people create rumors about celebrities every day.
- I don't know what y'all did. - That's what I'm saying.
- But according to her and what she telling everybody--
- According to her-- - No.
- I don't give no [bleep], and you still yelling.
Look, look, you're pointing at me, you're telling.
- What the [bleep] do you think I'm supposed to be doing?
Like, we just got married and here I am,
here go the peanut gallery.
- She still ain't produce nothing.
She still ain't say what we did.
- I don't know but-- - We didn't have sex,
we ain't have-- - But having inappropriate
contact, period. - We ain't had sex,
we ain't had foreplay. - It don't matter.
Because let me tell you something.
If I was on a text message thread--
- She ain't give me no head, no front seat, nothing.
I think Kendra is more societal with me at this point in time
because I've already broken her trust a little by, you know,
revealing the kid, but that woman looked me in my eye
and said, "Look, long as you don't let that [bleep] ever
"happen again in life, let's move forward
and try to make this [bleep] right."
And that's what I did. I made a vow.
- If you've been with her any time since we been together...
- I have not. - Outside of a break,
then, [bleep], that's a violation.
- I have not. - I'm just not convinced
that Jasiel is telling me the truth.
Like, I don't even know who the hell the man is.
We've already been through so much [bleep].
The baby, Meda, Karlie coming out the cave--
all this stuff, like, who is this phantom?
Like, unmask yourself, man.
This bull[bleep] along with the baby [bleep],
now being public-- you gotta fix all that [bleep]
'cause I'm not trying to be married to you
and the whole wagon full of bull[bleep].
- Kendra-- - And I also need you
to prepare to have a conversation,
like, with my family about all this stuff
because what we handle in private is now a public matter.
You know, we've been hiding stuff from our families
to save face, and so now I don't want my people
finding out from the rest of the world
all the things he has going on.
And I have a fear that they're going
to want me to leave Jasiel.
- I don't have to give no explanations
to no goddamn body.
If you understand, you understand.
- No! What do you talking about?
Like, how insensitive is that? - That's what it is.
- You so goddamn big-headed and arrogant!
You [bleep] around here, creating babies
all over the globe, dropping them off
household to household. - All over the globe?
What are you talking about? - And you indignant enough
to not actually be able
to tell my mama, tell my brother?
You should answer them.
- I will talk to whoever whenever I'm ready.
[sighs]
So here it is.
I told--I told a person
who needed to know the most, and that's Kendra.
- It's my mama, and it's my brother.
- I understand that. - And I feel like, Jasiel,
that's gonna determine the longevity of our marriage.
You need to talk to my mama, you need to talk to my brother,
and you need to let 'em know what's going on.

I showed her the receipts.
- What are receipts?
- Yeah, what were the receipts? - They basically showed

and she just still didn't believe it.

I got a new song out called "Kali Wave,"
featuring my girl, Kali Cass,
and today, we shooting a video for this thing.
So we gonna walk them into the room.
- Yeah, you're literally just gonna lead them in.
- What's up, sis? - Oh, you look so cute.
- Hey! How you doing?
I'm not even worried about Scrap and drama we had.
It's always something, and for a couple hours,
it's just time for me to be the Bam, and do what I do.
- First of all, I am so proud of you.
I just wanna tell you that this makes me so happy.
- I feel like I'm in my element right now, for real.
- This is you.
Where is Scrap?
- He's not here.
- He ain't even at the [bleep] video shoot, bitch?
- No, he's not at the video shoot.
Okay, we'll sit down. - Tell me about it.
- The other day I was in the studio,
and I'm working on that song, and this is, like,
the first time I'm getting back in this space.
And then Scrap comes in,
he's, like, pressuring me to have
some type of relationship with his mom,
and I'm just like, yo, like, it's been
all these years, right, and she's just been
violating and violating and violating.
And I get it, you know, that's his mom
and he wants that to be a thing,
but it's not gonna happen.
- I love my Mama D, but it's like come on, Mama D,
you gotta stop at some point.
- But she's never gonna stop.
Even right now, you see her posting [bleep],
bitches he used to [bleep] with.
Mama D just posted a video of Scrap's old side chick,
Shay, congratulating this lady on her baby.
And she's talking about she's gonna be the god-grandmother
or some [bleep], and now you got people
on the Internet assuming that the baby is gonna be Scrap's.
I can see if it was, like, an ex-girlfriend,
somebody that had a meaningful relationship with him,
but it's, like, a side chick.
If anybody in my family did some [bleep] like that,
like, he would be-- - Livid.
- Yeah! I have no idea why Mama D
is trying to, like, pit me and Shay against each other.
Like, lady, I do not care.
And when a fan called Mama D out in the comments,
she went off on me, saying that I'm insecure
and that I'm the reason why her and Scrap ain't talking.
- How do Scrap feel about his mama doing that?
- He gets super defensive.
He was like, "You know, if I would've known
"this was gonna be the situation,
I woulda never got married."
And I'm like, you know I don't [bleep] with your mama.
- What the [bleep]?
Oh, my God. Wow, I can't believe
something like that came out of Scrap's mouth.
Like, what the hell?
That's heartbreaking.
What you mean?
We all know Mama D be on her little [bleep],
you know what I'm saying? - Right.
- So it's, like, that's not fair.
- I don't know where I am with Scrap
because I know, like, that conversation
we had in the studio was crazy.
He really, like, flipped the [bleep] out,
and so I haven't even really been able
to talk to him since then.
My husband knows me, and he knows that I have always
tried to be respectful of his mom
no matter what she has done,
but I definitely feel like as soon I give him a valid reason
why I don't wanna do with what he wants me to do,
he flips out.
- Eric on some bull[bleep], too,
like, I kicked his ass out.
I'm not pressed to be with no guy right now.
I ain't gonna lie, I'm confused,
I had to go get a counselor.
Since my pastor gave me and Eric advice that she thinks
we should separate for a little minute,
Eric has moved out.
And I've truly been enjoying my time.
I enjoy my peace of mind,
I've been able to work,
I've been able to focus,
no arguments.
It just kinda make me think I need to let my hair down
and be with my girls.
- Like, I don't understand
what's going on with these men and this behavior.
- I really feel like they got us [bleep] up.
- When I tell you-- - Like, for real.
