- Welcome to "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta: The Reunion."
I'm your host, Claudia Jordan.
And the South was messier than ever this season.
One couple finally made it to the altar,
and red flags started popping up
in [indistinct].
Another couple called it quits and learned that the only thing
harder than getting married is getting divorced.
And there was plenty of love,
but this season, the hip-hop was front and center.
- Yes. [applause]

- Okay, so-- - Are you feelin' good

- And now here are the nominations
for the best reggae album of the year.
- Oh, my God!
- "Ten" by Spice. [all scream]
Congratulations to all the nominees.
[all screaming]
- And the Grammy goes to SOJA.
[cheering]
- Boo! - I really thought
that I would've lost to someone from Jamaica.
- We definitely have to talk about that.
Like, we gotta talk about that. - Ah, baby.
Just to have that title in front of my name--
"Grammy-nominated"-- that will forever be in Google.
Let's talk about it, bitch. [cackles]
- The first female hardcore dancehall artist
to be Grammy nominated is in the building, yes.
- Ey... - Yes.
Congratulations. That's super major.
- Thank you.
- The streets know you should've won.
- Yes. - Where are you?
We are them. Yes.
- I was definitely the people's choice.
- Did it change the way you looked at the Grammys?
Is it less legitimate to you?
- No. The truth is, music
is a universal language, and it doesn't have
no place to say you have to enter
based on where you come from-- - That speaks volumes
on how much you value the art of music.
- For real. - Absolutely.
- Thank you. And so, if me left Jamaica
and come here, and all-- everybody here accepted me.
So I still have to accept someone else
who is from somewhere else and coming to my genre.
- That's dope. - Yeah.
- It is, yeah. I never thought of it that way.
- [coughs] - And that is the artistry.
- I'm Jamaican. Spice is, like--
she's a national treasure for us.
- Top tier, baby. - Yeah, that's it.
There's nobody above you.
[applause] - Thank you.
Thank you. - And if you didn't know
about me, you definitely know about me now.
- Yes!
Karlie, congrats to you and your single work.
- Congrats to us.
- Yes. - Yes!
Charting! - Your song is a banger.
Like, it really, really is.
- You know, um, I'm just gonna get vulnerable for a minute.
[chuckles]
When this one came, she inspired me so much.
- Aw. - I had to prove to the haters
that I can shut y'all bitches down.
- Period--you and Spice. - Like I had--
and this was, like, my proof. - You givin' too much credit
when you say you had to prove it to them.
You proved it to yourself.
- Look, Karlie, after all these years of you workin'--
- Nah, you deserve this. - And doin' that,
you do deserve that. - You do deserve it.
- Congratulations.
- No, I really feel like this is the first time,
I think, everybody that's a artist on this platform
was able to really able to dive into that.
- Yes. - And I feel like
we need more of that. - Yes.
- Rasheeda, any plans to get back in the studio
anytime soon? - Yes.
- Yay. - Come on, Rasheeda.
- Sheeda, Sheeda!
- We've been talkin' about it heavily.
We have. - And you gotta think about it.
- You got a song that's eight years old
that just went platinum
four or five weeks ago.
I know you don't need music,
but you'd be doin' your fans a disservice
not to just put it out there.
- We need a strip club song from Rasheeda.
- Oh, first of all, it's definitely gonna be ready.
- Okay, we ready for it. - Get ready.
- Now we've got a lot to talk about, so let's get started.
All right, Shekinah, AKA Little Ms. Tea-Dropper,
managed to keep an ear to the streets
and her hands on a mic.
Run for cover, because Shekinah will put you on blast.
Let's take a look. - I'm 37.
I'm not a whore. I'm just tryin'
to keep this [bleep] goin'.
Why the hell you call me?
- 'Cause I can't keep [bleep]. - I can't neither.
What?
Wait! Why y'all tellin' me
all this damn business? Why did I even walk
into this [bleep]? [gasps]
- Yo, Shekinah is [bleep] crazy, yo.
- She gon' drop that [bleep] on him,
and you look like that dirty bitch in the building.
- [shouts] What?
- We here to represent Spice and her clothing line,
Graci Nova.
Is that right? Nora?
It's Joc's girlfriend, Amina!
Y'all can see why Joc was in love with her.
Come on. Rawr!
Hey, girl, I got nothing against ya--I don't know you.
You, Safaree,
why would you come out here with this new girl?
- Shekinah wants a voice,
and sometimes, it's just at the wrong time.
- Bitch, I just finished telling you
I don't give a [bleep] about Safaree!
- Yes, you do. - And then what you wanna--
shut the [bleep] up.
And then this swag-- get your [bleep]--
don't play with me, Shekinah.
[shouts] Okay? - I'm tired of you--
[indistinct yelling]
Why the hell you get mad at me about the truth?
It's okay.
We all go through [bleep] and still be in love.
The [bleep]? - You dirty bitch.
[laughter]
- Before we dive in,
let's welcome Shekinah, Momma Dee, and Meda
to the reunion. Shekinah, what's the name
of, um, Spice's brand?
Graci Nova.
- You [bleep] bitch.
- Shekinah, let me ask you, why does it seem like
you're always in the middle of something?
- 'Cause these bitches always tellin' me [bleep].
I didn't ask her to say the brand.
I didn't ask her-- - First of all--
- Wait, I never told it to her, but her friend--
- You told girl-- - Messin' with that boy.
I didn't wanna know that. That's my homeboy,
and I know this girl.
- Yes, you did. You came to my house to hear.
- No, I did not. - You did.
- You're messy. - You did.
- And as soon as I sat at that table, you asked me.
- 'Cause I wanna know what the [bleep] goin' on.
- [laughing] - You did.
- And Shekinah, I feel like you should've called me.
I just feel like you was being messy.
Like, you was right there right before we got engaged.
- Well, you weren't [bleep] with me.
- Don't say that. - Why, whatchu want me to say?
You have a whole wedding. Was I a bridesmaid?
I never been a bridesmaid.
- I invited you.
- I am sorry. I didn't know what to do.
I was in a bad situation.
- What about your situation with me?
- 'Cause you still love that [bleep] any time.
- It don't matter, though. As my friend, though,
that's the time to just shut up and have my back
instead of trying to be--
- I been having yo' mother[bleep] back.
I've been havin' to go see a psychiatrist
about you and this mother[bleep].
But I put myself into it, because you a woman,
and I like you as a person. - Right, but this is why--
- And he's a man, and I been knowing--
- But this is why I'm calling you out!
So I'm gonna defend how I-- - And I been knowin' this man
right here for many, many years before I knew you.
- I went at you simply because when I'm at bat
at somebody in the moment, why would you chime in
to give the other--opponent some type of leverage over me?
And that's the point I'm trying to make.
When there comes a point
where you stand for your friend,
[bleep] being messy. Stand for your friend.
- Okay, makes sense.
Okay, Joc, you were smart enough
to stay away from the fashion show.
Did you have a feeling like something was gonna go down?
- You know, I feel like if I don't put myself
in those situations, I ain't gotta worry about it.
So that's why I didn't attend.
- Meda, I gotta go to you now.
Shekinah put you and Joc's business on front street.
- Mm-hmm. - Man, she put her own goddamn
business on front street.
- Technically, I told my friend
what happened. - Bambi, what did you think
about Shekinah's behavior at the fashion show?
- Why is y'all askin' everybody?
I don't really give a [bleep]...
- [laughing] - What none of these
mother[bleep] think about me.
And I got messy, though! - They're asking us questions.
Everybody messy! - No, you messy.
- No, everybody is. - No, we're not.
- Oh, yes, you are. - Oh, I'm absolutely not.
- Oh, yes, you are. - Just apologize to everybody,
because you been in everybody's business.
You been [bleep] up everybody. So apologize to everybody.
- Only person I owe apology to is you.
I am so sorry.
- And I feel like you betrayed me,
so you owe me apology too.
- How dare you?
You don't got a [bleep]-ass nothin' to do with this.
- Do we have an apology for Erica?
- Not at the moment.
- Wow. - [laughs]
- But you're supposed to be my friend.
- It's crazy.
Nobody knows nothin' goin' with her.
She know everybody business. Yo.
- I'm glad Safaree said that. Thank you.
- I've never seen her with nobody,
and I don't know if anybody here knows--
- Oh, I know who she with!
- I know too. - I will lay it out here!
- She hidin'. - You're gonna get it, bitch.
- Every time I call you,
you see the [bleep] man of face
that I'm hidin' in the corner.
I'm like, "Let me see your boyfriend."
You don't wanna show your [bleep] man,
but you in everybody else business.
Talk of who you [bleep].
- This is so nice to me.
[laughter]
That man got a whole girlfriend.
all: Oh!
- You a savage!
- [laughing] Erica!
- You in the middle of a lot of stuff here.
Any last words before we go?
- Um, I'm sorry, Kendra.
- [clears throat]
[laughter]
- [clears throat] - I guess we're not
gonna get the apology, all right.
Coming up... You guys have had a lot
of issues with Momma Dee this season.
And for the sake of the marriage,
you and your family refused to appear on the main stage
with her tonight.
- If he wanted to be with you, he could be with you, okay?
He would not have married me!
So stay in yo' [bleep] place!
- Oh, my God.
- ♪♪ All the way to the top, and there ain't no stoppin' ♪♪
- Welcome back to "Love & Hip Hop:
Atlanta: The Reunion."
Now we've got Bambi and Scrappy up here.
You guys have had a lot of issues with Momma Dee
this season, and for the sake of the marriage,
you and your family refused to appear on the main stage
with her for this segment, because Scrappy,
you didn't want to be put in a position
where you would be disrespecting
your mom or your wife.
So Momma Dee will be watching the conversation
from backstage.
This season, Scrappy played both sides of a war
between his wife and his mom.
But every shady post from Momma Dee
drove Scrappy and Bambi further apart.
- I just wanted to come over to see my grandkids.
- You apparently made it. - Yes, I just felt like
I wasn't wanted.
I'm right here in Atlanta. Just come and visit Grandmama.
- I've given you the opportunity.
I said, "Hey, you can come see my kids whenever you want to,"
and now she's spreading rumors about me
and all kind of crazy stuff, so the door is closed.
You can't come over.
- And what you got goin' on?
- Girl, Scrappy called me. - Uh-huh.
- Four days ago, he called his lawyer,
and he's filin' for divorce. - No!
- That's what I said.
- She said he already filed for divorce.
- Okay. - But I don't know
how real it is. You know this Momma Dee.
I don't know if this true.
- Ooh, she's so messy.
- When I get out there, I'ma handle that.
I can do that from right here.
- Like, I'm over it. Just go do your [bleep].
I gotta go. - My son called me last night
and talked to me like I was a bitch in the street
based upon what his wife came back and told him.
I don't even wanna see him!
I don't wanna see him till he apologize to me!
- Now, Scrappy, how long has it been
since you spoke to your mom? - Since we got back from Vegas.
She called me one time. I didn't agree with her.
I said I don't [bleep] with that.
- So what, like, four months?
- Whenever that was. I don't know.
- It seemed like the three of you
were moving towards a better place.
What happened?
- She absolutely just does not like me,
and she wants somebody else to be her daughter-in-law.
So--what?
- Does that hurt you?
It--it only hurts me because I know
him hearing that, that bothers him.
- I love my mama. That's true.
You know what I'm saying? But at the same time,
looking at it, I'm like, "[bleep], that's wrong."
So when Bam come and tell me,
like, "I don't [bleep] with that [bleep],"
I be like, "[bleep], yeah, you right.
I don't [bleep] with it neither."
You know, sometime, you gotta look at Bam
and be like, "Damn, cuh, like, how much you gon' take?"
You feel what I'm sayin'?
- Momma Dee has always been how she is.
Stop telling her stuff.
- Scrappy, did you ever tell Momma Dee
that you were gonna file for divorce?
- Yeah, yeah.
I said, "Man, I'm done with this [bleep].
"Man, I'm gone. I'm done.
I can't"-- - And I tell my friends that
every two [bleep] days, but that doesn't mean they go
on the Internet and say,
"Oh, my gosh, she's gonna file for divorce."
- Bro, you think you can talk to your mama, man,
and let some steam off a little bit.
It just steam. It ain't nothin' like that.
You know, I mean, she do it.
And I let her do it. I don't go to her husband.
I don't go trying to [bleep] [bleep] up.
I just be like, "Man, let her have her moment."
You know what I'm saying? And she do me the opposite.
And I'm like, "You are the mama."
- I feel like y'all need to just, like, let it go.
- Girl, I'm not lettin' anything go.
- It's two bad sides.
Tomorrow not promised to none of us.
Secondly, if his wife get up and leave and pick up
and leave them kids,
that [bleep] gon' devastate the dude.
You know what I'm saying? - And I'm sorry I put my child
in that position. - When it comes to, like,
solvin' problems, that's when you gotta put
your [bleep] drawers on and really dig into it
and make [bleep] work. Ain't nothin' gonna be able
to fix this [bleep] but time, understanding, and maturing.
- I think a great thing here is, you've got two people
in a long-term marriage that rocks with y'all
and want you to make it, that are telling y'all
some real [bleep], 'cause they've been through it.
We seen it. - I will take that from 'em.
- Good. - You feel me?
- All right, well, let's talk about the moment
Scrappy put his foot down and confronted his mother
in Vegas. - I just wanna say this.
You know why I'm like how I am with her?
I saw your lifestyle.
I grew up in a whorehouse.
I grew up in a trap house.
- Yup. - So all I knew was that.
- Okay. - Never had to walk in
on mother[bleep] [bleep], and just--just--
you know what I'm saying? The way I was raised,
I had to deal with that [bleep], 'cuz,
and I'm still dealing with it,
'cause ain't nobody come and take me
to get me no help. I learned about that
when I got older. - Okay.
- [sobs] - Kay.
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, though. - And I love my wife.
- Yeah, but I love you.
[dramatic music]
[crying]
- Scrappy, you were clearly emotional watching that.
- That's my first time, like, being real and honest.
You know what I'm saying? I'm lettin' her know,
"You know, I'm a product of you,"
but at the same time, I don't judge her
'cause that's how she took care of her kid.
I appreciate that lady. You know what I'm saying?
But I ain't finna, you know what I'm saying, bow down
to disrespect on the household, you know what I'm saying?
That's-- that's my babies in there.
And when I look at my mama
and you tryna make my [bleep] short,
you just want me to be by myself, I'm like,
"Damn, 'cuz." Like, I'm tryin' over here.
Like, I don't care how much I say what I say,
but I be tryin'. So, like, with me doing
all that, and she tryin' to hurt it, I be like,
"Man, it ain't matchin'." You know what I'm saying?
- On one hand, it's like I need to stand up for myself,
and on the other hand, it's like I feel responsible
for him not havin' a relationship with his mom
right now. Like,
it feels like it's my fault.
It's very clear how much he loves his mom
and how he feels about her.
- Is it clear how much I love you, though?
- Absolutely, like, I wouldn't be sitting here.
- With that being said,
tonight was about reconciliation
and kind of mending things that are broken,
and we wanna move forward.
Scrappy, would you be comfortable havin' a one-on-one
with your mom later to start the process?
- Yeah, I love my mom. You know what I'm saying?
I'll do that.
- I think you in a proper space to do that today.
I think you can sit here and be calm
and have a conversation with your mom.
- Well, let's see if we can get some healing tonight.
More "Reunion" after this.

"Love & Hip Hop Atlanta: Reunion."
Renni started the season shutting it down on stage,
but her focus shifted to family
after a serious car accident
sent her mom to the ICU. Take a look.
- How is your mom doing, Renni?
- Um, she havin' another surgery today.
- Really? - Yeah, so I guess we gonna see
what happens today.
You know me and my mama ain't really have, like,
the best relationship all the time,
but I love my mama to death regardless.
Like, I wanna lay in the bed and cuddle with her.
She talked the first night.
And that next day, when I said, "Are you gonna be okay?
Are you gonna be all right?" and she shook her head no--
Momma ain't never said that she wasn't gonna be okay.

- Renni. - Mm-hmm?
- I'm really sorry for your loss.
- Thank you. - I know this is hard for you,
and we appreciate you sharing your journey with us.
How good do you feel about making amends with your mom
before she passed?
- Obviously, the last few months of her life,
like, we were, like, at one of the best places
that we've been in a long time.
You know, God sent me back home for us to fix our issues.
- Sierra, you went to South Carolina to see Renni.
Why was it so important for you to be there?
- I just wanted to be there for her
to let her know that, you know,
"You're not in this by yourself," for one.
But it made me realize that life is super short,
and no matter what she do or how the situation
or the story played out, it's your mom.
You just gotta make it right with her.
- Which brings me to Momma Dee.
I wanna ask you--you've had your issues with Scrappy.
Do you worry about that ever?
- Yes, every day for the last four months.
I'm hurt, but I love my child to death.
- She do. She loves Scrappy now.
- You know, you gotta love everybody in your family,
your household, 'cause you never know what's next.
And I get sad thinking about it, but just love your parents
while they're here.
- Renni, what do you think your mom would say
about the song you wrote for her?
- She literally played that song every day.
She loved that song.
Um, I'm glad I got to use,
like, music or, you know, my passion,
and what she was so proud to see me do to actually help
tell her how I felt about her before she left here.
- We all got to witness it. It was beautiful,
and your mom got to hear everything
you wanted to say to her before she went.
So I hope you can take some comfort in that.
- Yeah. - Let's pivot to another
mother-daughter relationship.
Sometimes, the best love is tough love.
And as a last resort, Sierra and her sisters intervened
to save their mom's life, because blood
is thicker than wine. Take a look.
- I should not be drinking right now.
My mom-- she has a colon infection
because of drinking, though.
- Alcohol is the worst.
- My dad--he had to go to rehab for many years.
- My dad, God rest his soul-- he did AA, like--
- They really help.
- I put in here-- - Ma, it's a wrap.
Ma... She got wine coolers
hanging out of her purse.
This is why she needs help.
- Uh-uh, you done poured my wine out!
- Stop drinkin', and take a full seven days
of your antibiotics so that your colon can heal.
- A'ight, a'ight, we'll do it.
[hip-hop music]
- We were at a family party, and my mom kept drinkin'.
And that night, we had to rush her to the hospital.
They go, "If she ever drinks again, she may not live."
- I came into the hospital
because I was feelin' these little shakes,
and I felt bad, so I decided to check myself into detox.
- How are you feelin'? - I feel like a totally
different person. - We can get through this, Kim,
and give you the support that you need.
- Yeah, 'cause I need that support.
- Cause nobody needs to go through what we've been through
in the last couple of years,
and losing people that are close to you.
- That's so crazy. When I spoke to the doctor
on the phone, I knew everything he was saying,
'cause he, like, reminded me, like, of how Dad was.
- Can we try to step in and stop it?
But I mean, when a person wants to drink, you can't stop it.
- Mm-hmm. - I gave it all up.
- Ma, you look so good. - Thank you, girl.
- Now joining us, please welcome Eric.
[applause] - Whoo!
- Sierra, how's your mom? - She's a lot better now.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
I'm happy for her. I love my mama.
I'm rootin' for her. - We love to hear it.
- Thank you. - Scrappy, I noticed you
kind of getting a little emotional during this package.
What's going on with you right now?
- Uh, I'm really emotional 'cause I feel like
instead of helping my mama, like, I really, like--
you know what I'm saying? I was angry.
You know what I'm saying? From, like, past stuff.
And when I seen her do that,
like, with the drinking and the liquor and stuff,
I just wish I would've took some more patience,
you know what I'm saying? And sittin' down with her
and just talk to her.
- You still got time, bro. - Well, you know what?
You have time. Your mom's still here.
- You still got time. - No, my mama love me.
My mama blocked me from even having a type of love
because she don't accept my life.
You know what I'm saying? But I accept hers.
- Some of us don't have a mama to talk to.
You know what I'm saying? Like, it's never that deep.
It ain't never that deep, and we have to understand
me and my mom didn't get along
for so long because I didn't understand her.
- Yeah. - We have to understand
that people love us to the best of their abilities.
- Ability. - Yeah.
- She's the best mother that she can be,
and she's flawed. And so many times,
now that I've looked back on things,
I be like, "That could've easily been fixed."
- I had a choice. I could've been like,
"Okay, my mama got a bad drinking problem,"
and she makes me mad with the different things
she say when she get drunk, but that's still my mama.
- Eric, I wanna bring you in on this.
You went through this with your dad.
- Yes. - What advice did you give her?
- I lost my dad at 23 years old.
I would do anything just to get that back.
So I really had to sit down with Momma Kim
and say, "Whatever I gotta do, I'ma help you,
"'cause now you're extended family to me.
"You're my mother-in-law. It takes a village.
And after today, we're gonna get through this as a family."
- It seems like a lot of people here
really understand what you're going through.
You have a lot of similar experiences here.
- I just wanna tell y'all, thank you so much,
and y'all know, like I always say,
we dysfunctional, but I love y'all, for real,
'cause y'all just don't know how much y'all be helpin' me.
Love y'all. - We love you.
- All right, y'all, coming up, Mendeecees just wanted everyone
to get along.
Does Yandy still feel like he's dropping the ball?
Plus, Scrappy speaks
to Momma Dee for the first time in four months.
We'll be right back.
- I haven't seen my grandkids in four months.
I see my grandkids on Instagram.
- I thought I was deserving of a thank-you.

- Hey, Momma Dee. - Hi.
- You look beautiful. - Thank you, Claudia.
- Thank you for agreeing to come out here.
- Just for my child.
- Now we cleared the stage to give Scrappy and Momma Dee
a safe space to talk one on one.
So this is the first time y'all have seen each other--
- In four months. - In four months.
- Hey, Ma. - Hey, Son.
I love you. I miss you.
- I love you too.
- Nothing is worth what has happened.
Nothing.
I wanna tell my son how much I love him...
how much he means to me.
- How does it feel to see your mom after four months?
- Feels good. You know what I'm saying?
Like, um--
- He's so handsome.
- Would you like to hug your mom?
- Yeah.
- [sobs]
I love you a lot.
I let you down.
I love you, and I've missed you so much.
Oh, Jesus.
- [indistinct]
- Oh, Lord.
- I would do the same thing, Ma.
- You're so handsome. You look just like your dad.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
- When I was pregnant with him, and it came down
to labor and delivery, when they--he came out,
and they brought him to me, first words I said--
"I'm your mom,
and I'll never let nobody hurt you."
And unfortunately, I could not, because of life.
I didn't. As a mom at 21,
I couldn't stop certain things.
I kind of, like, felt like I failed him
as a mom, and that I hurt my son.
- It didn't hurt me that you sold drugs.
What I'm sayin' is, you have to see who I am
from that. - Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
- You have to look at me from that little boy.
- We heard Scrappy and Bambi's side of the story.
- Mm-hmm. - Is there anything you'd like
to set-- - I just wanna tell my son
that I [bleep] up. I haven't always been right.
But I honor my son to make his own decisions,
to live like he wants to live, whether I like it or not.
But at the end of the day, I wish that my daughter-in-law
would help mend the family, not say,
"Well, I'm not-- I can't do this.
I can't." That hurts me,
because I haven't seen my grandkids in four months.
I see my grandkids on Instagram.
- Well, before you did yo' social media rant
and all that-- - I've never posted any--
- About private conversations-- - Yes, you have!
You said something about, "I wish Bambi go back
in the hole where she came from."
Like, what do you mean?
- Men and women come in and out of our lives,
but yo' mama is one, bitch.
And you sell your mama out to satisfy this bitch?
[bleep] her and the hole she come out of!
- Like, that's not even real. - Listen, listen, listen,
but she has posted things about you--
subliminal messages, and you know I'm not lying.
- But it's me and her. I don't--I don't--
- Can he understand it hurts the mom?
- I understand that.
The stuff that she do to me, I handle that.
I learned to deal with her, like, talk to her.
You know what I'm saying? - Yeah, yeah.
- So--but you have to leave me to do that.
- Can you agree to maybe chill out on the social media
or say anything about Bambi? - Yeah, you can't say nothin'.
I feel like you can't say nothin' good,
then don't say nothin' at all.
- I don't have to say anything because, see, my main focus
is my son. - I just wanna be her son.
- Are you open to keeping the dialogue open
so y'all can-- - Yeah, that's my mama.
- Call me. Come see me.
- Well, you have to unblock me first.
- Can you come visit me
and bring the kids over,
please? - Yeah, yeah.
- And last but least,
"No weapon formed against us shall prosper."
- Amen. - One more hug?
Can I get one more hug for the road?

- Hey, Momma Dee.
- Welcome back to "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta:
The Reunion." Now, Mendeecees
wanted a fully blended family,
even if it meant blindsiding Yandy
with dinner for five. Take a look.
- I've been talking to Lil Mendeecee.
So he wanna do something
where he bring, you know, his mom and us together.
- I think y'all should build a relationship first.
- What had happened at that reunion--
- Mm-hmm. - Where my mom was, you know,
physically touched. I was young, having to see that
on TV. - Watch your [bleep] mouth,
Kim! - Bitch!
[indistinct yelling]
Mind your mother[bleep] business!
You disrespect me, I disrespect you!
[all screaming]
- Havin' my friends see that-- - It was horrible.
- I feel like it's too soon to have a dinner.
Hold on, let me get the chair.
There you go.
Why you sittin' over here? Go sit over there!
- Naw, naw, those two seats are for someone
or two.
- This is a straight violation.
- We need to get through some things.
- I don't know that I have anything to discuss.
- Well, it's easy to say that when you were the problem.
- Don't ever blindside me like that.
- I mean, we was talkin' about it for so many days--
- And what did I say to you? I said, "Don't do it."
And let me tell you what else-- I was helping raise your son.
You ain't got to give me an apology,
but what you should've gave me was a thank-you.
I should've heard a thank-you from you,
and I should've heard a thank-you from her,
and you dropped the ball.
- So let's talk about Keisha now.
Admit that you knew your sister was in the audience.
You knew she was gonna attack me.
Just admit all of that, and we can just move on.
- It wasn't planned. It wasn't, "Go backstage
and make sure you attack her."
That's not even my style in the remotest form.
- I wanna clear the air because we know Yandy be lyin',
and I need to know, was that planned?
- She didn't set it up. - I feel she feels threatened.
- I'm jumpin' up at anybody, whether it be a man
or a woman. - My son is involved!
Yo, work this [bleep] out!
♪♪ ♪♪
- I apologize for attacking you, okay?
I love your son, and on the strength of him,
I'm willing to make all this work.
- Yandy, what was going through your mind
when Samantha, of all people, walked into the restaurant?
- I kept saying I don't wanna meet with her
with Little Mendeecee there, because I already know how
she give it up with her mouth.
So I was like, "I don't wanna disrespect his mother
in front of him." So I wanted to at least
meet with her on my own terms.
So--this one had other plans.
- We raisin' her son. He's in the household.
So they have to speak.
- It was so much disrespect between us, and really,
I always felt like, "What's the reason?"
I thought I was deserving of a thank-you.
- Don't I thank you every night?
- Oh. - Ooh.
[laughter]
- Kirk, I wanna go to you. Do you think Mendeecees
was right for arranging this dinner
without giving Yandy the heads-up?
- It's kind of, like, forcing the hand.
But I respect that, and I felt like
he was like, "Let's just try to see what happens."
- Had he not did it, y'all probably still
wouldn't even talked.
- They talk all the time on they own.
Uh, we at the kid's basketball game,
and, you know, her, her fiancé sitting across from us,
and, you know, we show love, like--
- When you hear the phrase, "It takes a village
to raise a child," sometimes, the village
is some of the exes.
But she just took my daughter to help set up her apartment
while I was out of town-- with her mom.
- Wow. - But to be able to do that,
and I didn't have to orchestrate it,
that is a beautiful feelin'.

- Welcome back. The Atlanta cast
is in the building. All right, let's talk
about the season's biggest event.
Joc and Kendra' wedding came down to the wire,
but nothing could stop them from saying "I do."
Meet me at the altar. - It's going down.
- Let's take a look.
- Me and my fiancée, Kendra,
are finally planning our wedding after being engaged
for, like, what? Three years.
- Here I am, about to get married,
and nothing is together.
- Meda. - Yes?
- You met Karlie, right? - Yeah.
- She used to date Joc too.
- For real?
- Oh, [bleep]. - I was at his bachelor party.
- What the [bleep]?
all: Oh!
- Congratulations.
- Tellin' y'all, y'all crazy.
- Always.
- Ooh... - Ooh...
- What the hell?
- Ooh...
- Okay, so Meda, let's compare dates--
around the time that you was datin' Joc.
- 2008, 2009, 2010,
2012, 2014, 2015. - [screams] What?
- 2018. - Hold on, hold on, hold on.
- [laughs]
- What? 2000-what?
- '19, '20.
- Why the [bleep] y'all even have me at this dinner?
- It's my honor and privilege to pronounce
Jasiel and Kendra husband and wife.
You may kiss your bride.
all: Whoo! [cheers and applause]
all: Oh.
- Congratulations. - Thank you, thank you.
- Y'all made it, but the real drama actually
started before the wedding.
Karlie, how did you end up in that box?
- Joc's friend, Chino-- he said,
"Hey, Karlie, you know, I want you to come
to Joc's bachelor party." I'm like, "Does he know
I'm coming?" He's like, "Of course he does."
I said, "Okay, cool, let's do it."
- The way she looked, like, she had, like, a clown face
when she came out the damn cake.
- [laughs] - Damn, girl.
- But when I asked Jasiel about it, what did you say?
You didn't know she was coming out the cake.
- I didn't.
- Now Joc, at your bachelor party,
you were really hands-on with Karlie.
- Nah, nah, nah, nah, nope.
- Do you think that's appropriate for a man
that's about to get married? - Oh, hell naw--
couldn't be me. - She hugged me.
She kind of put her weight on me,
which leaned me forward.
- Oh my gosh, the lies, honey!
- It did.
And when she leaned forward, I kind of dropped my hand,
but it looked like I gave her the bashful, uh, in your bosom.
- And then I fell, and then you picked me up,
and then I fell again, and then--
- As I leaned back-- - Boy, your wife said
that she didn't think it was appropriate, so what do you--
- Listen, can I do--listen-- - That's it.
That's just it. I just feel like
there ain't even no further explanation.
- As far as bachelor parties go, was that out of line?
- I think it was the person that made it out of line.
- Yeah, it was the intention that made it out of line.
- If he didn't want this so-called, you say, "clown,"
he could've said, "Karlie, can you please leave?"
He hugged me. We talked afterwards.
"Hey, you know we havin' a party after this?
"Well, you know, it's gonna be some strippers, and da-da-da.
You wanna come back?" He didn't say [bleep]
about leaving. - All this "come back
to the room," I didn't have a room.
I went to--I left from there, and I came home to my wife.
- Kendra, who do you believe,
Joc or Karlie? - No...
- At this point, I think of Karlie as desperate.
- Oh, my God. - [laughs]
- Definitely not desperate for Joc.
- Listen, Chino told me that Jasiel did not know
that she was going to be in the cake.
After that, it is what it is.
- All right, well, it sounds like you made peace with it.
- Yeah--long time ago.
- But definitely not desperate. [scoffs]
- Meda, at Spice's dinner,
you laid out a detailed timeline
about your relationship with Joc.
Why did you feel the need to share that information?
- I didn't bring it out. It was brought out,
and then I started getting asked questions,
so I answered them.
- Spice, you were the first one to bring it up.
- Me? - Do you regret it?
Or it was Shekinah?
- Everybody know this girl, Spice, brought this to me.
Everybody see me walkin' to your house.
She said-- [mimics Spice] "Girl, girl,
girl, my friend, Meda, she messed with Joc."
- [laughs] - Well, I never tell you
to go talk about it at the table.
- Now, Sierra, you were in the bridal party,
and you had the opportunity to tell Kendra,
but you decided not to. - Sierra is the messy one.
She was at the bridal party. - Don't put me in it.
What if Meda wasn't telling the truth,
and then I would've ruined their wedding?
- Kendra knew I existed.
- I knew you existed, and he told me
that y'all had past dealings.
- So then you knew I existed.
- In his last marriage, girl.
- But you knew I existed.
- I know you exist. I can see you, honey!

Meda, did you tell Spice that you love Joc?
- Mm-hmm. - And Joc loves you?
Joc will always love me. I said that.
- Wait a minute.
You need to address that [bleep].
- Somebody opened their goddamn mouth to somebody,
and somebody shared that with somebody else.
- And somebody [bleep] was in somebody,
that's why-- - But it wasn't around the time
I been with her, so it don't [bleep] matter.
Okay, she talkin' 2019. I ain't [bleep] with Meda
in a long time now.
- When I found out about her,
I literally went to protect Jasiel at first,
because I didn't wanna give up the details, because I didn't
wanna mess up their situation.
- And where were you with him? Y'all slept together?
Where y'all sleep together?
- That was years ago.
- So why did you go to Spice's party,
and you told Sierra a different story?
- I started to protect him,
'cause I didn't wanna tell her about the fellatio in 2019.
- It happened!
But it has not interfered with this.
- So for the record-- - But what it is
is when you take it in a moment, and people start trying
to cross over and do the math and carry the three
and got there the root of evil
or this--what--hey, man-- - Stupid-ass [bleep].
- Listen, at the end of the day,
it comes across to this point.
- All right, Meda, you met up with Joc and Kendra
with printed receipts. - Mm-hmm.
- Was this? - September 13, 2019.
- "You can just come down here."
- "Where you at? Come make love to me."
- What? - Really, Jasiel?
- [bleep], I don't even know nothin' about that.
That [bleep] could be Photoshopped, whatever.
- Did you think that would settle things once and for all?
- Uh, yeah. I thought a piece of paper
saying that he said, "Come make love to me"
was enough, but you know, Jasiel is a rapper,
so he knows how to choose his words,
and he basically types something out, claps his hands,
and she forgets everything that happens.
Basically, that's how it goes.
- Girl, please. You don't [bleep] know me.
- Okay. - Don't speak on what I do.
You do not know me, okay?
- But, we could settle that once and for all.
I mean, I really don't owe her anything.
