It's been a minute since I've seen Danielle.
And I kinda need a friend right now.
And even though Lemeir does know about my issues,
I would kinda rather just chat with Danielle.
Sorry to intrude on your me time, but I just needed
to get away and actually, like, just talk to somebody
for a minute. - What's going on?
♪♪♪♪
I'm stressed the hell out.
Between navigating being a mom.
Trying to run my business.
Dealing with Bone, I'm not in a good place with him right now.
- Oh, wow.
Barbie... stop.
- Thinking about it, it's stupid.
There's so much other stuff that
I'm angry about with him. I tried...
- So have you talked to Bone about this?
- I don't even wanna talk to him.
I'm so tired of like arguing, fighting.
He's put me through so much in the past,
and I feel like he's still doing bull(bleep).
- It can be worked out. You know, like--
- I don't know anymore.
It's like I put on this front
all the time, like, I'm just so happy
and everything's all right. - Barbie...
- We go out in public, we're good, we're happy.
- Well, hello, everybody! (all greeting)
Then we get in the car, and I'm staring
out the window the whole way home.
I feel like he walks around thinking
everything is fine. She'll get over it.
But I just-- I'm not there. - Barbie.
- I hate crying... (sniffling)
- Barbie has come to me in the past
to tell me about the problems
that her and Bone have been going through.
- The cheating still bothers me.
I try to get over it, it's just hard.
- Well, I know.
It literally breaks my heart
seeing her go through this same (bleep) that I've been through
with Lemeir when he cheated, and honestly
it took me a while to rebuild my trust.
- Stop doing it. - Stop doing what?
- You gotta trust me!
- Oh (bleep), it's going down over there.
- How we gonna have anything without trust, bro?
We having a baby, you wanna get married.
You don't even trust me.
- Lemeir has changed so much.
He's literally a grown man now.
Grown men don't cheat.
Little boys cheat.
So as Lemeir can become a better man,
I know that Bone can change and become a better man.
And I'm definitely hoping they'll make it through this.
- I see the same patterns now.
We put a lot of stuff on the table to try to figure out
what we can do to make it work. He's, like, well,
I'll share my location. I want you to share
your location just so you can trust me more
to see I'm not doing anything.
He'll tell me, oh, I gotta go here real fast
and run this errand.
Then another hour or something pass and I'm, like...
Why is he not home yet, you know?
I'll check and his location is off.
So I know that you purposely turned it off.
- Intuition is never wrong.
- Exactly and that's my whole thing.
Like, I've been feeling really off.
I'm really tired of being stressed out
and wondering if my fiancé is out sleeping around.
or cheating on me. He says his phone isn't working.
He might be telling the truth, but with everything that
we've gone through, it's really hard for me to believe.
- So he don't even know why you mad.
He don't even know that you know.
- He has to know something, but he doesn't know
the full extent to it 'cause I'm not gonna argue with you.
All you do is deny it.
So it's, like, I have to physically
catch him in the act for him to not deny this (bleep).
But I'm past the point of I'm about to pull up on you.
We have a kid now. - Yeah.
- But I told him before like if you gon' do some (bleep),
make sure it's worth losing your family
'cause that's pretty much where he's at.
- I knew about Lemeir's shop.
But I'm still-- I'm still in Venice.
- You got that ditzy dummy (bleep) going on.
- Wow, is that really necessary?
- Yes, it is, good luck.
- You keep on bringing the same thing up.
- As long as you understand that is my point.
The proposal comes at my time

- Yeah, bro, you know, we working on it.
- So Vudu and I, we decide to go
check in my boy, Ink and see if he okay.
Because he missed the meeting the other day.
Man, that (bleep) was crazy.
Like, I can't believe Nessie and Vudu quit.
I'm still shocked. But Vudu seem like she cool
with her decision and that's all that matter right now.
- I was trying to get to that meeting, but...
One of my childhood, you know, friends,
somebody I grew up with, you know, just passed away.
You know, they found... - I'm sorry.
- Found out in the morning. They let me know
the day of the meeting, you feel me?
So I just didn't wanna go to the meeting
with no weird energy and...
Losing my friend it's just heavy on my heart.
Because it's somebody that I grew up with
and felt real close to.
We had a little falling out, a little situation
where we couldn't necessarily be cool no more.
And... Just never really got the chance to reconnect.
Everything just building up, building up,
one thing after the next, it's overwhelming.
You know? - Yeah.
(sniffles) - But that's why I said.
Like, I'm just trying to-- I'm just trying
to keep my head together, you feel me?
And be in the right place mentally,
spiritually, physically to do what I gotta do.
- You gotta take care of yourself.
Work can wait, you know?
- Right, and I appreciate that.
'Cause I been grinding on the side to set up
this charity event for the community.
I wanna do some nonprofit stuff, give back, you know?
If y'all want to roll through and do some test,
I could always use the help.
- I'll be there for you, bro. - Count me in.
- I appreciate that, bro.
I've been wanting to get into nonprofit
and charity events for a little minute now.
I've partnered up with Love My Neighbor Foundation,
and they've been really focused
on giving clothes and full back to the homeless
over in Skid Row.
And being able to focus on this event
is definitely in keeping my mind at ease
and keeping me at a peaceful place.
Yeah, how you been?
Did I miss anything at the meeting?
- Oh, my God.
It just didn't feel right. And so, um...
I had to walk away
So I'm-- I'm not at IAM anymore.
- What? - Yeah.
There's just a lot of bad vibes.
They turn on people so quickly, like,
I don't want to constantly have to be in a place
where I'm, like, all tensed up
because I don't know what's gonna happen, like...
- Anxiety gon' go through the roof.
- Yeah, and he really hurt my heart.
Like, I was like, damn. But it...
Sometimes you just gotta do what's best and walk away.
- Only person left is just me and Alana.
- So what happened with Nessie?
- Well, I mean, she didn't believe him first.
- Wait... She's gone too?
- Damn, I didn't wanna see Nessie go.
- And then she left, and he was, like, she's trash.
- And she's trash?
- He literally called her trash.
- What the (bleep).
I expected more from KP.
I mean, come on, bro. Name calling?
What are we in high school?
It's kind of confusing to me
Just because it seems out of character for KP to just talk
about people and call people out they name.
As a business owner, I feel like
that definitely wasn't no boss move for sure.
Just don't talk about people like that.
I'ma tap in with him for sure.
Because I don't want to come in with all that weird
negative energy where I can't be in a good headspace
to work and create and just-- Hopefully it can make sense.

- Hello. - How are you going?
Uh, reservation for Jay.
(chatter)
- Life for me right now has been moving way too fast.
- Between this pop-up shop,
trying to help Lemeir open his tattoo shop,
and planning my son Phoenix's first birthday party,
I barely have time to sit down and eat.
- Here's the drink menu... - Thank you.
So really grateful that Bone took the time out
to plan a little dinner date for us.
But I'm not going to lie. Anytime he goes out his way
to do something nice for me, it makes me think
he's trying to do something to make up
for all the B.S. that he's done.
Can I get a glass of Moscato? - Moscato?
- I'll take a shot of your top shelf tequila.
Thank you so much.
- Oh, you got money.
You trying to impress me like you did
when we first started dating.
- Are you already in my pocket? It's all good.
(laughing) - Yeah, right.
- I'm trying to do better, you know?
We're in a better space now.
- We're in a better place.
But the past really still haunts me.
- Well, I was young and dumb.
My mind was at other places at that time and...
- Your mind and your penis was other places at that time.
You cheated on me while I was pregnant.
'Cause you was on some B. S.
- Right, it's the shot coming up, thank you so much.
Just in time. - Saves you.
Every time our past resurfaces,
Bone dodges the subject like it's not a big deal.
And minimizing it makes me feel worse.
'Cause it comes off like he doesn't even care.
But he cheated on me multiple times.
That hurt then, and it still hurts just as much now.
- We built off the bull(bleep) that we did have.
- Yeah. - And we're growing together.
You know, I'm just trying to be with you
so we can further our relationship
and our fiancéship towards marriage.
- But speaking of married,
are you ever going to have a conversation with my dad?
'Cause that needs to happen.
- Yeah, I'll talk to him.
- So Bone proposed to me a little over a year ago
at our baby shower for Phoenix.
(screaming/shrieking)
(whooping)
Bone cheated on me while I was pregnant,
but I still gave him the benefit of the doubt
and accepted his marriage proposal
for the sake of our baby and the fact
that I really do love this man,
even though he didn't even ask my dad for my hand in marriage,
I said, If you ever want to marry me,
you need to talk to my dad first.
You know how important my dad is to me.
That meant everything to me.
- You keep on bringing the same thing up.
- As long as you understand that is my point.
- Listen, the proposal comes at my time
when I feel like I'm ready.
- You're stressing me the hell out.
- You about to open up a shop too, right?
- Yeah, so I know you know you're down there, but...
if you ever wanna pop up this joint, you know,
the door is always open for you, my guy.

- Between the passing of my old friend,
all my family issues going on at the crib
and planning out this charity event that I got going on.
Honestly, I'm overwhelmed.
Plus, finding out this new information
from Vudu and Polo about what's going on at IAM.
It's definitely got me questioning, you know
where I wanna focus my energy at.
But one thing I do know is I got this event coming up,
so I had to link with Lemeir and ask them for a favor.
I think it would just be cool, you know, if you pulled up
with the truck or something, just give back, you know,
- You can count on me. - I'm planning on inviting
KP and Tim as well and the rest of the people over at IAM.
- As you should. - You know, I just...
I think this event is bigger than...
- That stuff that KP got going on.
That's issues he got with me and that's personal.
What you talking about right now is community.
- It is so great that I have Lemeir's for this event.
You know, at first I thought he was going to second
guess it when I told him that Tim and KP was pulling up.
But Lemeir sees something bigger than beef.
You know what I mean? And that's why
we vibe the way we do.
You about to open up a shop too, right?
- Yeah, so I been looking on actual Melrose too, like...
- Oh, for real? - And as far as the shop,
bro, like, I know, you know, you down there, but if you ever
want to pop up this joint, you know,
door is always open for you, my guy.
I'm honored that Lemeir will open his doors to me
and give me a spot over at the shop.
But this conversation right here definitely complicates things.
So I just got to think on it a little bit more now.
Yo, what's the deal, Justin? - Not much, G.
I'm so tired, man, but I'm, I'm, I'm good.
So today I'm tatting the one and only Justin Lyons,
man, lead guitarist for Machine Gun Kelly's band.
Got connected through a mutual friend.
Vibes is right, energy's right.
So I'm definitely looking forward
to working with bro on this tattoo.
But since I haven't really had the chance
to sort out my next move over at IAM
or even catch up with Tim and KP and had a conversation.
I figure I'ma take my clients elsewhere
until things really settle down but.
So what made you want to get this?
Oh, I lost my grandmother last year.
(chatter)
She always told me that I was the chosen one.
- Word, yeah. - You feel me?
So I always see angel numbers.
- Okay. - So I always see
0923 every morning and every night,
which is also my birthday. - That's deep.
Yeah, that's something. - It's something.
- I'm dealing with some stuff from my own grandma right now.
You feel me? So...
It's just like seeing, seeing that this is something,
you know, to you know, honor her,
you know, that definitely means a lot more to me,
because it's a piece that, you know, you representing
something that's bigger than you, you know what I mean?

So today we're going to have a little birthday celebration.
I figure we can pet some animals
and just have a low key day with the family.
- This is Frida.
She gives you hugs because she's awesome.
- Why are you running?
- Let's get a bird
- Look! You see Grandma and Grandpa?
- How are you guys? - Hello.
- This is my mom, Tanya.
That's Barbie's little brother. Clint.
Father, Big Clint.
And mom, Rose. - Hi.
Nice to meet everybody.
So we were working on letting the birds stand on his shoulder.
They were going too far.
- This is Victor. He's a silkie rooster.
- That's a poodle. - Victor, come here.
- Oh, hell, no.
- You're making me look bad. Come here.
- Hey, Pops, can we talk over here for a second?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I just wanted to bring you over here because I know
I didn't ask you for permission to propose to Barbie.
So I just wanted to tell you that there was no ill will.
- My dad isn't the biggest fan of our relationship.
He's a person that I've confided in about
both infidelity and our trust issues,
but I had to give it to Bone.
At least he's taking the step that we need
to try to make things work in our relationship.
And the first thing is making it work with my dad.
- It wasn't fully me not thinking about you.
It was just me acting in a moment.
- You thought about it because you had a ring.
But I didn't know I was going to do it right then and there.
That's, you know, when liquor and happiness
and everything goes, that's what happened.
- Don't put no liquor in any conversation that you have, bro.
You have to just... think.
What is important to the other person
might not be as important to you.
And I don't take it as disrespect.
I just took it as you don't know no better.
- Yeah. I just wanna make sure that we was on the same page.
- We're never gonna be on the same page, but...
Understanding that. - Right, you know.
- I can't hear what they're saying.
But I'm peeping their body language.
And my dad shaking his head is never a good sign.
- Hey, little girl.
- So how's it going?
- Good, I think so.
- I mean, I would hope so, 'cause you two
are the most important men in my life besides Phoenix.
And I need this to work out in order for this to work out.
- You can't change what happened in the past.
You have to either have to accept it
or forgive it and move on.
- Maybe he's right. Bones taking a step
in the right direction,
but there are still many more
steps that need to be taken before we walk down that aisle.
- I'm trying to be the peacemaker.
- How the (bleep)... bitch.
- You're being fake! - (bleep)

(music, applause)
- That's how you do that. Ay!
- Today, I'm throwing my nonprofit event,
partnered up with Love My Neighbor Foundation.
All the donations from the artists and vendors
are going to Love My Neighbor to spread awareness
throughout the city and community
Love your neighbor as yourself.
(cheering and applause)
- They really doing a lot for the city of L. A.
to go down to Skid Row, giving out food and clothes.
And I myself was homeless
for a long time, you know,
going to the food banks and getting food.
And now I feel like I got to give back.
- That's right, my boy, Shout-out to you and your sound.
You hear me? Yes, my boy.
- This is exactly what I needed.
Polo doing tats with Alana. Vudu she doing the two gyms.
I got Armani in Lemeir's food truck.
Star, Tim, and KP.
This is what it's about, coming together,
putting all that ego and pride to the side
and doing something for the betterment of your people.
- Aw (bleep).
♪♪♪♪
- Hi, there.
- Hi. - Tim and KP can ignore me
all they want.
I'm here for one thing and one thing only and
that's to support my friend.
This is dope what you're doing.
Like, despite all the bull(bleep)...
I genuinely (bleep) you as family, you know, I'm saying?
So regardless, I was going to come and support.
- Why does he look lost? Why does he look lost?
- Who? Oh! - Lemeir.
He made it!
- My brother. - What up, y'all?
- My guy, you good?
- I had to show for my guy Ink.
Especially because he's doing something
positive as a person from Compton.
I am aware that Ink invited KP and Tim.
And if I see them, I'm staying clear of them.
I ain't got time for none of that bad energy
and none of that (bleep). I'm gonna stay over here with
the people that got love for me and my damn Happy Ice truck.
- Hello! What you-- Is you working or you flirting?
(chatter)
- Are you Black Santa?
- Oh my God. - On behalf of Ink Art Music.
- Okay! - Some canned goods, toiletries.
(bleep) - Ay...
(chatter)
- We out here. I love you both.
- Oh my God.
- What's up, man? - Appreciate you
putting it out. It means a lot.
- You got the vendors over there.
- I don't know why I'm nervous all of a sudden (bleep).
- What y'all got going on?
- Hi, yeah, I'm good.
Good to see you.
Good. Hi.
(chatter)
I'm good. - Okay.
I've lost so much respect for Tim and KP,
especially after how they treated us.
But I'm not going to sit here and carry all this hatred.
The only option for my sanity
is to be the bigger person and extend a peace offering.
I don't think you guys know that even though I'm not there,
like, physically, I really do wish the best
for you guys, like, I really do.
- (bleep) get some food.
See you around. - See you too.
(laughter)
- Uh, yeah. (laughing)
I am.
♪♪♪♪
- I came here for Ink knowing the ops would be here.
But that don't mean I gotta go out of my way
to talk to somebody I don't want to talk to.
I know Vudu trying to make things
nice and all of that, but...
Hey, if you working in Lemeir shop, go ahead.
I don't care.
I don't have to deal with you.
I don't have to be your friend.
- Wait, you didn't mean that you were working
at Lemeir's shop, right? - Oh my God, no.
I meant the Venice shop.
(sighs)
I didn't mean to say that I was working at Lemeir's shop
because I'm still at the Venice shop.
Like, sometimes I don't think before I speak.
Oh, my God.
KP? Hey... Okay, listen,
I just want to reiterate that, like,
I really don't want there to be any
like, bad blood or any awkward things between us.
And I just also want to clarify to you that, you know,
when you asked me about the new shop, I meant Venice.
I didn't know, like, I knew about Lemeir's shop,
but I'm still, I'm still in some Venice.
(laughter)
- You got that ditzy, dummy (bleep) going on...
- What are you talking about?
- The eh-eh-eh, that voice (bleep).
- Excuse me?
Bro, I came over here to make amends
and to keep the peace with everything.
You want to sit here and (bleep)
insult my intelligence and call me ditzy,
and then make fun of my laughing.
I knew they were (bleep),
but I was not expecting that, not even from them.
Wow, is that really necessary?
Yes, it is. 'Cause you, you sound...
And all this eh, eh, and then... - That's not how (bleep).
(chatter)
- Well, understand who we are as a person.
I told you that a long time ago. Good luck.
♪♪ I do what I want ♪♪
- Told you that a long time ago. Good luck.
- Wow.
Jesus Christ
Why are you crying?
(sighs)
- I just-- I don't know. I think KP, he definitely
intentionally wanted to offend me.
And because I was bullied so much growing up
like my stepfather would bully me and my my mother would
bully me, I was kind of like having flashbacks.
Aw, (bleep) I'm just gonna...
Sorry. I need a minute.
Hey.
Sorry. Oh, my God. I can't believe I'm crying.
Um... Basically I pulled Tim and KP to the side
to tell them that, you know, I don't want there
to be any bad blood. Like, I don't want it
to be awkward or whatever. But then they completely
turned it around and said I was being dumb and dizzy.
I don't understand why the
guys even needed to say anything
even remotely rude to her.
I know they're upset that she walked.
but that's no excuse to be disrespectful to someone,
especially when she supported your brand.
I feel like I should tell them something.
- I love you. - I love you too.
♪♪♪♪
- Thank you so much.
♪♪♪♪
- A tattoo of a heart. - Okay, let's do it.
- I liked these, I'ma come back around.
- Thank you. - Congratulations.
- You want some Kool-Aid? - Thank you, Armani.
- I got you, my boy.

- Getting out of here? - Yeah.
- I appreciate you, bro.
Appreciate you pulling up, man.
Probably this week, I'll pull up at you at the shop.
Y'all be safe out here, man.
- Ay! Wait, wait, wait!
Before you guys go, um...
Y'all made Vudu cry.
- Man, why is she crying?
She done left. She not our problem.
So we're not even...
- You didn't have to call her ditzy or dumb.
- Okay, respectfully,
I understand Alana's a nice person,
but I don't really need to concern myself
with Vudu's emotions.
And I can care less about what Barbie think.
And I really don't need to see Lemeir.
At this point, I did what I came to do.
Ink invited me. I came and did my (bleep).
And I'm out.
I've always felt kind of lucky when I first
got into the IAM shop because Tim and KP
always welcomed me, and I never had any issues with them.
But I just feel like once you get on their bad side,
they become two completely different people.
- Give her a hug.
♪♪♪♪
- I'm just glad everybody was down to be a part of it.
♪♪♪♪
- I see you got a lot of donations and everybody
is smiling like they enjoyed themselves, bro.
- I appreciate you being a part of that.
- 100%, bro. - Especially with all this
(bleep) going on at the shop.
- I'm happy to see y'all. - Yeah.
- Everybody scattering, you know, Nessie going her way.
Vudu going her way, man.
- What are we talking about right now?
- Are you serious?
- I'm honestly not surprised
to hear that KP is losing
all the artists at the shop
because he don't appreciate nobody.
He has appreciation disorder.
- I told him that I didn't wanna be in the shop anymore.
I tried to like come to them and say, hey, like,
I wish you guys the best, like, I want you guys to thrive.
But then they were like, Oh, you're ditzy.
Dingy, whatever... - Wait, what?
- That's all they do. Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.
- But that's why I wanted y'all here today because I (bleep)
all y'all from the bottom of my heart.
I appreciate y'all, for real. All right, Alana.
- I got to do a couple of two times, so...
- Okay, bye, guys. - Bye, guys! See ya.
- I don't care about KP, Tim,
like (bleep) all this (bleep). - (sighs)
I wish I could say I'm shocked about Tim and KP, but I'm not.
They're going to stay disrespecting women
because there's no consequences.
And quite frankly, I'm (bleep) over it.
I'm going to try to talk to Armani woman to woman,
and see if she can at least talk to her brothers
and talk some sense into them.
She's all about peace and unity, right?
- Fists? - Yeah.
So I want to talk to you because there's a lot
of bad energy flying around.
I wanted you to try to talk
to Tim and KP because I know it's a lot of this going on.
Did you hear the guys made Vudu cry?
How (bleep) up is that?
And I think we need to talk about it.
- Okay. - Because I tried.
I did my part. - So you tried?
- I tried. They have beef.
I don't have beef, but I'ma call it how I see it.
And they were being disrespectful to Vudu.
Like why the (bleep) to Vudu.
She was trying to apologize.
- Why you come talk to me?
- I'm a little confused.
Why Barbie feels she needs to come and talk to me.
You got a problem with KP? You got a problem with Me.
I don't play both sides, period.
- I'm trying to be the peacemaker, okay?
- Okay, you've been a peacemaker, but I'm about unity.
But this time, you out of (bleep) line.
This is my same homeboys for many years.
I never turn my back on for nobody.
You don't have no type of loyalty or nothing
because you're already seeing Lemeir.
So get the (bleep) home.
Girl, you're trying to be a peacemaker.
You done left your peoples that you know
all your life to go with somebody you barely know.
Now you call them, bro. I'm not listening to no bitch
that switches sides and is disloyal.
- All right, I'm done, I love you, sis.
- I'm not your sis, don't call me sis.
- You being fake, you being fake.
- No, I'm not being fake, bitch, I'm being real.
Ain't (bleep) fake about me.
- You're being fake. This girl is crazy.
She over here in a whooping and hollering for what?
- What?! - I was trying to be cool
with her, but why she's coming at me left like
I'm the one who did something to her is beyond me.
(overlapping shouting)
I came at you correct.
But you wanna ghetto (bleep) and I'm not...
- Now it's ghetto (bleep).
Bitch, you a low bitch in the ghetto.
Shut the (bleep) up.
- I'm ghetto? Okay.
- ...Fake ass city and bitch you're not better...
(shouting)
(shouting continues)
- Barbie, stop. - 'Cause I like what I did.
- Barbie, stop.
You gotta do something. You big and bad behind security.
Your little grand exit.
- We had a great day today.
And this is how you all want to end the day arguing.
KP, Lemeir, bull(bleep) it just tearing everybody apart.
It's becoming a cancer.
And I don't think we're ever going to come back from it.
- How you doing?
- Oh, it's a little bit different right?
- It is. - Our original crew
is divided now, so we felt
like it was important to talk about
all the drama that happened last year that wasn't aired.
Everybody in the shop was happy.
It was a good vibe
(cheering)
You felt a good energy in the room.
We're going to Mexico!
(cheering)
Mexico! Mexico!
- What happened to the Mexico trip?
- Aw, man, I mean, shoot.
You're in my city. Don't feel on my (bleep) bro.
- Oh my God. - (bleep) that (bleep).
- You have to do whatever KP wants and what he says.
Y'all wanna hire (bleep) 50 million apprentices.
Like how about someone who wanna tattoo already.
- If you got a problem, bitch, check me!
- If you're with KP, his way or the highway.
- This goddamn shop will literally book the year out,
you know, if we had the opportunity.
- You had something to...
(shouting)
- Hey, knock your heads off!
- But we killed it with greed.
