- If you were gonna invite Safaree,
why wouldn't you tell me?
- I didn't know it was that bad for y'all.
- You done helped me and gave me advice on my divorce
because you just went through one.
How do you not know?

I just recently been diagnosed with stage three lung cancer.
There's no cure.
The only thing they can do is treat it.
- We have our Crying Tour.
A lot of stuff bothers me a lot.
People don't know how to get along.
- My son called me last night and talked to me like
I was a bitch in the street.
- Karlie, there's a lady here with some food and stuff.
- I wanted to do, like, a pool party.
- How's it feel?
The day before the Grammys.
- Oh, my God!
- We'll never be best friends. - Well, we can be cordial.
- But don't lie and say you love me--
- We can be cordial. - When you don't.
- Y'all playing with me.

- When it comes to this baby situation,
Jasiel has been dragging his damn feet
about telling my family.
But at this point, the news is spreading like wildfire,
and I don't want them finding out from anybody else.
So I asked my mom and my brother to come
down here from Kentucky for the weekend.
- Let's have a seat. Let's sit down.
- But they have no idea why they're down here.
They just know it's important that they come.
They heard it in my voice.
So the plan was for Jasiel to be--for us
to do this together a while ago.
- Where is he?
- He's using the fact that his mom--
I mean, she started chemo two days ago, as a scapegoat,
but it's not stopping him from doing anything else.
Like, he'd been on the radio... - No.
- So with all due respect, he should have been here.
Let's be clear.
Jasiel knew exactly how important it was
to me that he had a conversation with my family
about this baby situation.
I'm prepared for Jasiel to be the spokesperson
on the matter.
- I'm gonna hold you accountable.
- I'ma hold me accountable.
- And he knew my family was gonna be in town today.
We talked about it. We planned it.
My mama and my brother both coming down here,
and I want you to be there with me to explain this.
But this morning rolls around, and my cowardly husband
is not here by my side, so I don't know at what point
he's literally gonna take his balls out of his pocket
and, like, put it back in the pants.
So basically, Jasiel stepped out on me.
He had a baby with somebody else.
[tense music]
- I mean, I thought I was coming down here
to get some Nana news.
- Yeah.
- But when did you find out about it?
- It was after he proposed to me and in a time
where we were really rocky.
Barely hardly together, you know.
He chose to do that.
- Kendra, I'm concerned about you.
The issue you had with him before marriage,
his infidelities.
I mean, if it came up this time,
how do you feel about it not happening again?
- Well, I didn't just find out about it
and just, oh, keep going.
Like, I had time to digest it, but I don't know the future.
- You accepted it. You married him.
So you must have said that you could live with it.
- Well...
- And you're trying to live with it.
- Yeah, I'm trying to.
- Speaking from your brother, like, I would have said run.
Like, run.
No justification.
The likelihood of people changing--people do change,
but the likelihood of people changing is slim.
Most people are who they are.
- Ever since I first met Jasiel,
my family has been warming up to him.
Because at the end of the day,
he has the reputation of a player,
and this baby situation makes it no easier.
So I'm in no rush to also tell them about the Amina drama
simply because I don't want some fake rumors
to spoil his relationship with my family even worse
than what's about to happen.
- You know, Kendra, what did I tell you?
When a person tell you who they are, to believe it.
And that's not a good feeling for the person
who's going to be in my daughter's life.
You know. - Don't cry, Ma.
- Because I mean-- - It's okay.
- Kendra, I want so much--
I wanted so much more for you. - Yeah.
I mean, how can I look at him and think
that this man loves my daughter.
That hurts me to see you hurting--
- I'm sorry, Mama.
- And I know you you are hurting.
- Yeah.
- I know you are, and that hurts me.

- Girl, that pool party was a hot-ass mess.
- It was so ghetto,
and I can't believe I let Karlie punk us.
- At our [bleep] house, bitch.
- And it turned out like that.
- And then the bitch tried to put me out.
- When we see each other, we could be cordial,
but it's not like a buddy best friend thing anymore,

She always nit picking and trying to start some shit,
and I just always got to shut it down.
- Hey, girl.
- You're back. - You back, bitch.
- Girl. - You left our ass.
- You left us. - At that crazy-ass pool party.
- Yeah.
Yesterday, I took some time out
to just cut out all the noise.
Let's face it.
I've been going through a lot, so I just decided,
let me book a suite and treat myself nice for once.
- The pool party from hell, bitch.
- What happened? Fill me in.
- I just believe Karlie just be doing
[bleep] to [bleep] with me.
You got this bitch Shekinah here.
You got this bitch Spice here. And then Meda was here.
So you telling me you got all these bitches here to [bleep],
and you want to [bleep] me, ho?
- What the hell?
All I did was go for like a day.
- A day late and a dollar short.
Did anybody tell you anything about Shekinah's,
like, Crying Tour?
- No.
- Safaree went and brung his bitch.
- Which one? - Little mini you.
- Mini me?
Is that the one that he sent the roses to when we was--
- Yes, that one, that same girl.
- It's crazy because I'm on a reality show,
and it's like, this is some reality show bull[bleep].
But the [bleep] that this man has put me through,
I can't make that [bleep] up.
- You know, I've been wanting to fight this man...
- Well, you know-- - Since I was pregnant.
- It's been a lot. - I know it has.
- And there's a lot of stuff behind the scenes.
He did a lot of ugly [bleep].
I had to sit there and watch that man cry to the judge
about how much more money I make than him
and why he shouldn't have to pay child support.
- That's crazy. - That's [bleep] up.
- Then he wants 50% custody
so that this way, I could pay him child support.
No matter how much money I do make,
I did not make these kids by myself.
From the time I filed for divorce,
he has been doing [bleep] out of spite...
- To get that [bleep]. - Just to hurt me.
You know what I'm saying? - That's what it look like.
- I don't know how much more I got to deal with
when it comes to him.
Safaree just picked up,
started a whole new life
because you claimed it was too much for you,
left me with two kids,
and here I am in court fighting for not only for you
to step up financially to help me with these kids,
but I had to fight so that my kids
actually have a proper upbringing.
- Well, this trip has been draining for all of us.
Like, I'm done.
I'm dealing with your [bleep],
everybody's [bleep], my [bleep].
- Let's just get ready for Spice's event.
- Let's just get ready for this party, girl.
- Promise it's only positivity. - Oh, it's a promise.
- It's all mother boss moves, money, greatness.
And just know that God don't play about us.
- Yeah. - Absolutely not.

You know what I'm saying? And embarrass me.
And we actually stopped talking because my Momma
blocked me on her phone.
- From the front, I'm your sister.
- Right.
- Do something that I didn't do before I got married.

You guys have weird issues, but counseling helps.
- At the end of the day, I'm annoyed, I'm hurt,
but it takes two to make it get better.
Can I talk to you though?

Hey, yeah, yeah, I cussed my mom out, man.

I mean, she always messing with me and Bam,
but at some point, enough is enough.

- I don't disrespect. - You always disrespect.
- Am I perfect--are you kidding?
- Listen, I grew up-- - I'm not perfect.

Momma was a pimp, so me and my sister
was raised around whores and crack pipes,
and this is what you're seeing, this is what you finding.
There's gunshots going on.

It's giving [indistinct].
- Safaree, I'm so sick of you.
[cheering]
- I know everybody could see the tension in the room
between me and Erica, but at the end of the day,
this is not about anybody's problems going on.
This is all about Spice.
I'm not about to sit here and argue with anybody
about anything that has nothing to do
with Spice and this Grammy nomination right now.
- To Spice.
- Yes. - Spice.
- To the queen. - Spice.
- To the queen, baby. - Yes.

- To more success. - More success.
A vote don't make us who we are.
all: Yes!
- I just had to cool off, right?
Just get my mind right, man.
But I really got to get this off my chest, man.
I just want to say this. I just want to say this.
You my mama.
This is my wife. - Mm-hmm.
I don't have nobody if y'all ain't with me.
I don't have nobody. - Okay.
- [bleep] all that talking [bleep],
cuh, I need y'all to show me, cuh, for real.
- Okay.
[tense music]
- You got to stop because you don't have nobody.
That should make you support this even more
because you know I want somebody.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I'm in love with this, all this.
You know what I'm saying? - No one's arguing that.
- You know why I'm like I am with her?
- Because of what you saw me go through.
- No.
I saw your lifestyle.
I grew up in a whorehouse.
I grew up in a trap house. - Yeah.
- So all I knew was that. You know what I'm saying?
And I love you 'cause you held it down
and you did what you had to do, but imagine you never--
- A child point of view.
- You never had to sleep with your mama 24/7
because you couldn't go in your room.
- Okay.
- You never had to walk in on mother[bleep] doing dope.
- Yeah.
- You never had to walk in on mother[bleep]--
You now what I'm saying?
The way I was raised, I had to deal with that [bleep], cuz.
Everything that happened, I had to deal with that,
and I'm still dealing with it because ain't nobody
come and take me to give me no help.
Ain't nobody got me no help.
I learned about that when I got older.
- So do you understand--
- This [bleep] real, cuh, like, this is what--
this in my head.
In my head, my whole life.
In my head.
The [bleep] I go through, I can't even go to her,
She hard. I can't go to you, you hard.
So I'm on the concrete, my [bleep].
My granddaddy ain't that hard. - Wow, wow.
- But guess what, and I ain't taking nothing
from you because you put me there.
You put money in my [bleep].
You gave me [bleep] to help my rap career
and all that [bleep].
Ain't nobody do that but you.
So I love my mama.
- It's okay. - And I love my wife.
- I love you. - You feel me?
- But this is my baby.
I just can't change his diaper no more.
