- Previously on "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta"...
- Lil Mendeecees was both there with
Samantha and her boyfriend.
- I think y'all should build a relationship first.
- How do you feel about your mom and Mario?
- My mom's marrying the guy, I'm not marrying the guy.
I don't know what he like.
- Yeah, but if she marries him, that's your stepdad.
- Relax.
- I'm desperate for him to sign on the dotted line.
I have to get away from him.
- Safaree!
- Oh, Shekinah talking again? - Safaree!
- No, no, no, no, no, no!
Safaree, you got to sign the paperwork.
Erica wants to be a free woman.
You got to sign the paperwork.
- Scrap is like, pressuring me to
have some type of relationship with his mom.
And I'm just like-- but it's not going to happen.
He was like, if I would have known, like,
this was going to be the situation,
I would have never got married.
- And now, here are the nominations
for the best reggae album of the year.

- My album "10" just grabbed a nominee at the end.

- Karlie And I, we already did a song called "Pop That."
She's taking her career more seriously,
so I suggested let's just do a whole new song.
I'ma not say it out loud. It's a vibe.
It make me feel good.
And you know, I love it.
But Karlie has spring from me.
We're going to do a music video for this song
that we just literally record in Las Vegas in three days.
- Let's not forget we're going for my music video.
- So I get to do be a video mixer?
- Yes. [all scream]
- She's been so supportive of my career,
I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt.
Let's see.
I feel like the first time I fixed, though.
- Karlie bad. - Waiting.
- Hi! - Karlie!
Speak of the devil. [laughter]
- Wait, what? You was talking about me.
- [indistinct]
- Really? What were y'all saying?
- Let me take off my jacket. I'm starting to get hot.
Got some the bad news. - Ah.
- We don't like the first part that you did.
- Okay. - Yeah, she hate the "per."
- The predicated per? - Per.
I was asking them in the other studio if them understand,
and they said they not really understand me.
- With the--[indistinct] - Of course not.
They don't understand what you saying either.
[laughter]
- It why I fix. It why I fix.
- I feel like Spice is looking at me and saying, okay,
this girl is finally taking her craft seriously,
because she is excited about my music,
she likes my album, I'm shooting my video.
If Spice wins this Grammy,
she is going to be busier than ever.
I got to grab this girl while she can.
I'm going to make sure it get done.
The song I do with the Grammy nomination queen
got to be a banger too.
- Let's talk about it! Grammy-nominated, baby!
[laughter] We're heading to Vegas!
I'm super nervous about the Grammy.
But I'm also excited.
Win, lose, or draw, I just created history.
I'm the first hardcore female dancehall artist
to ever be nominated for a Grammy.
I feel good.
All of my friends are going to come to Vegas
just to support me.
I invited Sierra, Rasheeda, Bambi, everybody.
- You like the party?
- What, the Grammy party? That it?
I was crying, like, for the entire event.
- You was! - Because I felt--
I just felt so emotional, just to see
everybody doing the homage to me and singing my songs.
People just celebrating me.
And it was just heartwarming for me.
- That's good.
- And I'm happy that Meda did that.
- Speaking of Meda, she walked in with Safaree.
Ah!
- So it is true.
Because Meda called me the next morning.
I said Shekinah call her on three way with Erica.
And Erica was like,
"Oh, I heard you walking with Safaree."
- And? - Meda was like, "Yeah."
- Did they [bleep]?
- I don't even know. It's just too much.
- Safaree is coming to Vegas too.
Jesus.
- I invited him to the video.
- You invited him to the video?
Without asking me how I feel about that?
- Eye candy.
- Knowing that Safaree and Erica are
going through their situation?
Why would you do that?
- Who cares? - You always so messy! I care!
- I invited everybody to be in the video.
Why not? I mean, everyone's my friends.
Spice, Bambi, Erica, Safaree.
Anybody want to come be in the video, be in the video!
[bleep]. Hell, I even invited Momma Dee
'cause she kept telling me she wanted me to go to Vegas.
So that's Safaree, Meda.
- So why you invite him to come to Vegas?
- I didn't know!

- I'm surprised you didn't have basketball today.
- No, the season is coming to an end.
- Every game I came to, man, y'all lost.
The ones I can't make is the ones you win.
Can you just win one when I'm there?
- Yo! [laughter]
- So how do you feel about us on our way to see your mom?
We all live in the same state.
You know, I know you're busy with school, acting.
And she's busy working, and she has her relationship.
Then there's her fiancé.
- I do know him.
Might not know him enough, but I know him.
And it's my mother. - Right.
- So I have to be a little bit cautious.
And just accept it.
- I think y'all should spend more time together.
Since Samantha got engaged, Lil' Mendeecees hasn't been
over to her house as much.
It's obvious Samantha fast tracked the relationship
with Mario, and it's affecting Lil' Mendeecees
because it's all new to him.
I know you a little overprotective of your mom,
which you should be.
That's your mom. I'm overprotective with my mom.
But I also think that you should take the time out
to get to know him.
- I just feel like me and my mom
have to spend time together,
because she just moved out here.
I want to get to see her.
I just don't want to be accompanied by Luigi.
Mario. My bad.
I just want to see my mom.
I don't really care who she with.
Sometimes when I want to be with my mom,
I just want to be with my mom.
- You don't want to share her?
- I already share you.
- One thing I want Lil' Mendeecees to know is that,
even though me and my mom don't see eye to eye,
you know, I want her always to be
there and not miss a moment.
We don't have to see eye to eye for me
to be involved in each other life.
At a young age I used to have to try to figure
out how I was going to eat.
And we couldn't find our parents.
It kind of left me and my brothers [bleep] up.
You're strong.
You bounced back, and I'm proud of you.
I get my strength from you.
When I'm lost and got nowhere to go, I go to you.
- You do.
- So hold your head up high.
There ain't nothing to be ashamed of.
- Don't explain nothing! - Come here.
You got this. You got this. - Oh, my God!
- You only get one mother.
So you got to cherish your mother while she's here,
and have no regrets.
You took the time to get cool with her last boyfriend?
- I don't know if I feel like doing that again.
I'm not playing step kid again.
I'm tired of that. - Right.
- And this is not like, her boyfriend.
It's like, her fiancé.
I'm like, fiancé?
Like, that's just mad fast.
- Just support her happiness.
If he makes her happy,
then that's the only thing that matters.
Gradually you might start liking him.
I think the time I was away, Lil' Mendeecees had the time
to actually build with his mom,
and they built a serious, serious bond.
And he became her protector.
He loves her dearly.
And, you know, he can get jealous of any other man
around her because he wants to make sure that they
have the best interest.
He's not going to be, like, super friendly with, you know,
new people that comes into her life
until he approve of that.
[dramatic music]
- Hey Mendeecees! - What's up?
- How you doing? - Come on in.
- Come on in, man. - Hi, Mom.
- I missed you! - I missed you too.
[overlapping chatter]
- This is actually my first time seeing Mario and my mom
after I found out they were getting engaged,
and I wanted to understand why is this happening so fast?
Why?
- Come on in. Y'all have a seat, man.
- What's going on with you?
I hear you're doing really good in school.
- Yeah.
- It is a big adjustment.
You know, especially moving here to this town.
You got to come over more often.
- I be busy.
- Okay, so since that basketball game
y'all had, you been acting kind of funny.
You mad that he-- what's going on?
- I think that he heard about y'all engagement and he--
- Yeah, like--
- He doesn't really know how to express himself,
or how he should feel about it because he's overprotective
over his mom.
- What would you like to see for your mom?
- I just want to see her happy.
- Mm-hmm.
You know, putting a smile on her face,
man, that's not a problem.
- Bleh!
If my mom is going to marry this guy, he has to know me.
He has to put in time and effort.
And I feel like it's just too soon.
- Maybe, you know, one day, you know,
you and him could have your time
so he can understand who you are and what she means to you.
- That's not a problem, man.
You're more than welcome to come over, man.
You're more than welcome to call me anytime, man.
Talk about, you know, whatever you want to discuss,
whatever's on your mind. So--
- All right, so-- - You got to come over.
You got to answer the phone.
- Yeah, you're right.
To be honest, I think it's kind of a red flag
that he didn't even get to try to know me before he asked
for my mom's hand in marriage.
Just a little bit.
- So I was thinking, since, you know,
I want to be able to bury the past,
bring the family together, and do a family dinner.
And see if y'all open to it.
My wife and Samantha had a little bad history
in my absence.
A lot happened between Yandy and Samantha.
- Bitch! [overlapping shouting]
[dramatic music]
No, no, no, no, no! [audience exclaiming]
- What was that? - You should just--
[overlapping chatter]
Who was that?
- I just want to know who came out from the audience
and decided to hit me.
Do you know, Yandy, who did it?
- I didn't even see it, actually.
When I asked what happened, they told me in the back.
- A lot of disrespectful words back and forth.
But I still feel like, you know, time heals everything.
And I just want to make up for it.
I want to be able to put this thing back together
and move forward.
Now that I'm back, anything to put them together
and make sure that we all thinking positive.
And show that, you know, we are all moving for the best
interests of our kids.
- [inhales deeply]
Um--does Yandy know?
- I got that. I can take care of that.
- Yandy and my mom getting in the same room
is nerve wracking.
It makes me nervous.
And it makes me want to throw up.
- Let's put the past in the past.
Let's put it behind us.
- All right, we can do dinner.
Find out if it's okay. - All right.
I got my son.
I'm being a full-time dad.
I'm blessed!
I can't beef with you.
- Right.
- And I definitely can't beef with you.
You know--
- Yeah, he too big for you.
[laughter] - Anyway.
- I'm just saying.
- That's another day for another argument.
[laughter]
- Coming up on "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta."
- Why Are you sitting over here?
Go sit over there.
- No, no.
Those two seats are for someone.

- Hey Mendeecees. Hello everyone.
- What's up, everybody?
- It's good. - What's going on?
- Like, I wanted to prepare my mind for something like this.
I wanted to know what I was going to say.
I already told Mendeecees
I did not want to have this dinner right now.
- Well, thanks for having us.
- Yeah.
Thank you for coming out.
You know, I appreciate y'all
both taking the time out to be here.
You know, it means a lot.
- I'm happy we made it.
We need to get through some things.
- I've been home for almost two years now,
and me and you good.
But we haven't never all sat down together
and all on the same page.
- I feel like some things that are buried should stay buried.
I feel like we good.
You know, I don't know that I have anything to discuss.
And the families are all, I feel like, back together.
I feel like this is--
- Well, it's easy to say that when you were the problem.
- See, we already starting off wrong.
And unless this energy changes, and changes quickly,
I'm going to get up on I'm going to walk out.
- Can I say something real quick?
- Go ahead.
- I would just hate to see the most
important women in my life just go at it again.
- Right. - And again.
After five years, for it to be finished,
and just happen again--
I don't need that.
Like, I definitely don't need that.
My thought process is just bringing
me back to when I was younger and what happened back then,
so I'm not feeling too well.
I see the tension and I got up and left.
- I definitely don't feel like I was the problem.
It was a problem. The situation was a problem.
- I just felt like, you know, at the end when, you know,
you had your cousin fight me, pull my hair,
you know, I felt like that was extreme.
That was very disrespectful.
- I didn't have anybody come to fight you.
When it did go left, it was a shock to me.
There's nothing that could correct what happened.
Nothing.
There's nothing that I can say that's going to correct it,
there's nothing that you can say to me
that's going to correct it.
It's five years ago.
There's nothing about that moment,
there's nothing about that time that I'm proud of.
I think that respect can start today.
And we move forward from there.
- Okay, so you want to move on?
So you just want to act like everything--
nothing ever happened? - No, no, no, listen.
- You can do that. - Listen.
No, no, listen. Hold on, time out.
Time out. Hold on, time out.
- We can act like--that is what we're doing, basically.
- Let me tell you something.
- You know, just from my time being with Sam,
she has expressed, you know, like, some trauma from that.
And so, that's why, you know, she's addressing it to you.
We need to chop it up.
- At this point right now...
I see that it's like a mood killer.
So when I'm ready, or when you are ready,
like, we'll have a conversation.
Let's not ruin this right now.
I just was mentioning us sitting down talking.
That's it.
- I get it.
- I think this dinner was a roller coaster, right?
But the fact that I can have them at the table
and we talking, for me, this is progress.
Listen, man.
I don't know what tomorrow holds.
But I know right now, I could live with this.
- Right.
- All right. - Yeah.
- That's cool. - All right, well--
- You good? - I'm good.
- Are you good? - Yeah, I'm good, man.
- We're done, yes. Good.
- Yandy should talk about the issue,
because if she doesn't talk about the issue,
Samantha is never going to get past this.
I'm hoping that Yandy would talk to Samantha one on one.
- Let me talk to you for a second.
What was that about?
- What do you mean?
- What was that about?
- I mean, it was about bringing the family together.
- No, you don't do nothing like that in front of me.
Don't do nothing like that right in my face.
Tell me what I'm walking into.
Don't ever blindside me like that.
- I mean, we was talking about it for so many days,
and so many times. - And what did I say to you?
I said don't do it! And let me tell you what else.
Let me tell you what else! - What?
- The whole time, she's telling me,
"Oh, but you did-- and you was the problem."
Guess what? I was helping raise your son!
You ain't got to give me an apology,
but what you should have gave me was a thank you.
I should have had a thank you from you,
and I should have had a thank you from her.
And you dropped the ball. You dropped the ball.
- No, no, no, no. - No, you dropped the ball.
- You know what you do, I know what you do,
he knows what you do.
That's all that matters.
- You got to think better. You got to do better.
- If you feel--about the-- - You got to think better.
It ain't about what I'm about.
No. What are you about?
- You got to let me know.
I understand Yandy is upset because I sprung this on her
without talking to her first.
I get it.
I can handle Yandy being mad at me for a day or two,
but if this means bringing my family back together,
I can handle that.

- 'm like, I got through it, sis.
I am divorced, but the ink hasn't dried yet.
Now what we have to do is wait for our arbitrator to just
finalize certain decisions.
Safaree actually had the nerve to ask for 50% custody
with the game plan of getting me to pay child support.
However which way this ends up, karma is real,
and your girl is ready to just start to feel like me again.
I deserve my mojo back, and Vegas better give me that.
Had I known, like, different things, like parenting,
like how Safaree is and how he thinks, like for real,
I would have probably made different decisions.
- Absolutely.
We all should have done that. - You know?
- I should have done that too. - You got that right.
- Scrap, he don't really like--
he don't like addressing nothing.
You know what I'm saying?
And then when we start talking--
- Why don't you all try counseling?
- When we go in front of people...
- Uh-huh.
- His whole-- everything changes.
He'll be like, "Oh my God, this is my wife.
I love her, I want to do this, I want to take care of her."
No, yes, yes.
- Well, that's why you go consistent though.
- We all have a conversation
about any small thing and it turns into a big-ass argument,
and then you start realizing we got some deeply-rooted issues.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- You know what I'm saying?
Things have been a little awkward around the house
with Scrap.
Like, we haven't really been talking much,
but we have been cordial.
I don't know where my situation stands
with Scrap right now.
So it was so nice to just get away
from everybody and everything for a few minutes,
and just relax and chill out with the homegirls.

- Walked in where?
- [chuckles] Spice's event.
- Girl, Medea and Safaree, she said they walked in together?
- Uh-huh.
- Whatever is going on,
I just hope that it stays over there
and does not deflect me over here in any type of way.
Especially on this trip.
Because regardless of who Safaree is effing,
trust me when I say it is not my business.

Which--I'm not surprised.

in a few weeks, I have to be on top of these contractors
because Mendeecees' the nice one.
I'm the one that don't play.
Can you talk to the architect tomorrow
just to get the exact measurements,
because it doesn't look like, from what I see,
anything could fit.
- Yeah, I'll send him an email tonight.
- You know I'm supposed to be meeting Mendeecees's
mother in a little while.
I'm doing this because you want me to.
- I'm doing this because I want you to be a grown woman.
- All right, goodbye.
By nature, I'm an optimistic thinker.
Do I want a relationship with Samantha?
Not necessarily.
But do I want us all on one accord? Yes.
Do I want peace in my house? Yes.
Do I want my husband to feel like
I took his needs into consideration? Yes.
Do I want Lil' Mendeecees to feel like I love him enough
to put my feelings to the side and meet with his mom?
Yes!
- I spoke to Samantha after the dinner, right?
And, um, do you think you've grown enough
to have a one on one with her?
- So that I don't have to hear this anymore,
and show that I'm a team player,
I will have this conversation.
- Thank you.
- Let's clear this whole [bleep] up.
[suspenseful music]
Hey.
- Hello. How are you?
Well, I'm glad we could meet and talk.
Finally I get to speak to you alone.
- I know.
I mean, it seems like it's something
you've been waiting for.
I did not think that we needed to have
a further conversation, but I'm here.
- Well, yeah.
I feel comfortable having this conversation with you alone.
Without anyone else.
I feel like you can be honest without any lies.
- Honest without any lies.
Talk to me. What's up?
- I just want you to be free.
Tell me, you know, what was your issue with me?
How do we go from being cool with each other
to arguing, fighting?
- First of all, I never changed my story.
My story is what the facts are.
- I just need you to apologize, and then we can move forward.
- I'm not apologizing for anything.
It's been five years. - I agree.
- I'm ready to move forward. - And I agree.
- I'm ready to turn a new leaf. You're good.
You have an amazing relationship happening.
We should move on!
- That's what we're here for. To move on.
- But to move on--
- So let's talk about Keisha now.
Admit that you knew your sister, or cousin,
or whatever she is to you, was in the audience.
You knew she was going to attack me.
Just admit all of that and we can just move on.
- Apologize for what?
I'm all for apologizing
when I have something to be sorry for.
I'm not going to give you an apology for something
that I didn't ask to happen to you.
- Bitch!
[overlapping chatter]
[dramatic music]
- No, no, no, no!
- Don't do it. [audience exclaiming]
- Now I don't wish violence on anyone, ever.
But again,
there are always repercussions for your actions.
And unfortunately, your mouth got you in a situation
that that ass couldn't get you out of.
So Keisha was in the audience.
But what you got to , understand Samantha, is
the same exact way that I feel about every single child
in my life is the same exact way she feels about her niece
and her nephew.
So when y'all sat up there,
and the things that y'all said,
she was sitting and it was brewing.
- In the same way I had family there--
I have people that feel the same way.
- And guess what? - And guess what?
I tell them no.
And if Keisha is your family, and I'm going to be around,
we need to figure out how we all gonna get along.
And there needs to be some respect.
- Absolutely.
Listen, I think Keisha feels bad,
because Keisha loves your son.
And it wasn't planned.
It wasn't, "You go backstage and make sure you attack her."
That's not even my style in the remotest form.
It's not.
What you can do, better than I can tell you is,
you should set up a conversation with her.
Or I can set up a conversation with her.
- You're gonna have to do that. - I want to move past this.
And I know that that is a point of contention for you,
as it would be for me.
I don't want anything but a positive outcome.
- I agree. - Yeah.
- And if that's what it takes for me to have closure,
and for us to move forward, I'm with it.
- Do you want a hug?
- Um--
- It's okay if you don't. It's fine.
- I'm going to set up a situation with Keisha.
- Thank you, Yandy. I'm gonna go.
Really, seriously, I'm getting dust mites in my nose.
I'm about to sneeze. We'll talk later.
- Okay. - Ciao.
- Coming up on "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta."

So what he getting at?

- No!

Unlike a lot of people.
She's going to say what's on her mind,
she's going to speak the truth, and that's just that.
It's hot out there. - Yes.
And I told you. - And I got on a wig.
- Oh, and me too. - But you in the AC.
- Where you're supposed to be taking me?

- Oh, I'm taking you--

Me and Momma Dee about to go talk about some [bleep].
Hopefully we both can keep in Vegas, okay?
I'm stressed out a little bit though,
about my "Crying Tour."
- So tell me about that, though.
'Cause, you know, I heard it in the wind.
So just really detail to me what's going on.
- So the "Crying Tour" is really about healing.
We all have trials and tribulations,
and we all have things and obstacles
that we have to overcome.
- Mm-hmm.
- And if you so hard, and never cry it out...
- I'm scared of you. - I'm scared of you.
- Okay.
- Because there ain't no telling
what's built up inside of you.
- Ooh! - Huh!
People try to hold all that stuff in without crying,
and that's not good.
You know, you got to cry to cleanse the soul.
How can you cleanse the soul if you ain't crying?
- Girl, and the stress I'm going through,
I really wouldn't recommend any mother go through this.
- What kind of stress is you going through?
- Well, let's just say I can't wait till we go inside,
we get a little stable, so we won't be driving.
- Okay, okay, okay. - I'm going to tell you then.
- Damn it. 'Cause I damn sure want to know.
- Mm-hmm.

Karlie invited me to come to Vegas
to be a part of her video shoot.
So I'm excited.
But at the same time,
I'm dealing with this situation with my son.
My heart is so heavy,
I need to let some [bleep] out with my girl Shekinah.
- Well, Momma Dee.
- Yes, go on, girl. I'm looking, I'm looking.
Look at the Hard Rock sign!
Looking around, it just reminds me of my heydays,
when I was pimping.
The goodfellas that started Vegas.
This is what this stimulates from.
- The goodfellas that started Vegas.
- Yeah. - Look at the horseshoe.
Cute. - Them real gangsters.
- So, girl, I'm not going to the video shoot.
- You don't wanna go?
- I ain't gonna be able to make it.
I'm going to prepare for my "Crying Tour."
- Okay. - But I hope--
I really hope from the bottom of my heart
that her video works out to be a success,
because she deserves it. You know?
- Yeah, both of them do.
- Now what you got going on, girl?
- I try to stay out of Scrappy's
and the Bam's business. - No, you don't.
- But girl, it leaks out, honey.
- You don't stay out of their [bleep].
- I got to tell you something.
He tried to check me, and tells me
that Bam is insecure about Shay being pregnant.
And--yeah!
Like it got something to do with him or her.
- Ooh. Wow.
- Shay, my son Scrappy's ex-girlfriend.
- Hey. - Look at him.
- She cares about me.
She genuinely cares about me,
and I genuinely care about her.
And the Bam is just jealous of that relationship.
Shay's mom has given me the honor
to be the third wheel as a god-glam-grandmother.
I love it because Shay makes herself accessible,
and she's gonna make her baby accessible to me.
What I wanna tell my daughter-in-law is,
we can have that same relationship.
But you don't show me no love.
All you wanna do is control that son of mine
and keep him from his family.
Scrappy called me four days ago,
prior to coming here,
and he had been at a--
at a hotel... - At a hotel?
- For two days. Yeah.
On Ivy and the W. He was like, "Ma,
"I can't do it no more.
"The jealousy is off the roof.
They're accusing me of this and accusing me of that."
He's on stage, and she see a girl--
There's 500 people in the audience.
"Who is that light-skinned chick?
Who is that standing behind you?"
He said, "Ma, I can't do it no more.
I'm not doing that no more."
- So what he getting at?
- He said--he said, he pushed the button.
And the button there is that he called his lawyer
and he's filing for divorce.
- No!
- That's what I said! Hold up!
Sometimes you need to separate, I said.
But you don't need to file for divorce.
I did tell him that.
- I can't take no more of the neon museum.
I got to get the [bleep] out!
Momma Dee just told me Scrappy has filed for divorce!
Allegedly! Allegedly!
Because I don't know how real this is.
I know Momma Dee.
She go in and out sometime.
Why the hell you told me?
- Because I can't keep [bleep].
- I can't either! - I can't hold water.
- You all get on my nerves, always coming,
telling me something I don't even wanna know.
I'ma--I'ma tell somebody. I know.
Hell, I might tell Bam.
See? Why would you do that to me?
You know I talk to them girls!
Why is y'all always coming to tell me something?
Uh! - Because!
Relax. - I don't want to hear it.
Girl, I can't!

Spice is here, and she ready.

I must have thanked Spice like a million times
about really making time to do this video,
and Spice has been a trooper about making this song happen.
While we're here, we got to get this [bleep] done.
- She got mad stuff to do for the Grammys.
She out here. She got interviews.
She got performances--

She gotta go. - Please.

It's like Karlie's supposed to be rubbing me,
oiling me down, and making love to me.

Karlie, this is a big moment for you.
Why would you put a mess in the middle

I don't understand!

Why don't you just--

- Please. Don't use that word around me.
There's no wife.
- Safaree, what do you mean?
- It's done. It's final.
- You, too, lie.
- Yeah. Last week.
Court was last week.
Since Spice's celebration party,
we kind of paid for an arbitrator
so everything was done privately.
That's why it wasn't a big whole public debacle.
It cost a lot of extra money, but the divorce is final.
It's official.
There's just a couple of little things
that, you know, we got to wait to hear back on,
like "What's the child support,"
no alimony,
what property is mine, what property is split,
and stuff like that.
Like, this is a learning experience,
and I just want us to co-parent and just keep it moving.
- Can we please shoot Spice?
I wish we would have shot her first,
