- The most important relationship
that I've ever been in--
- Was it with Nick Cannon?
- I had a miscarriage.
And then I ended up finding out that
he had another woman pregnant.
- I slid a little kiss in there.
It was a slick--it was--
- You liked it?
- I can't say I liked it or disliked it--
- You liked it.
- We lay up. - You seen this [bleep] before?
- How you going to be kissing on other [bleep]

I ain't even impressed me about you too.
Like y'all always be like flirting.
And she was like, he be at my house.
We take naps together.
- Nah, you know, I-- - I--I--I--
- I know that he said that Diamond he is supposed
to be pregnant from Scrappy.
- You gotta know when you're wrong, though, bro.
- I'm not wrong about my kids. - Let's go outside.
- You got to relax, though.
- What am I doing here as a man, bro?

No, know after I did that interview today,
that Shannon Sharpe interview,
they took the one thing I said about my mom,
they just took it the wrong way.
It's all over the place.
And my mom called me, of course,
upset, pissed off, and asked me why can I--
how can I say something like that.
- What did you say?
- Shannon Sharpe had asked me about my life
as a drug dealer.
I told about when I put my mom up for collateral.
When you meet someone before they can do a deal,
they want to know where your peoples live.
Because they wanna feel like
you're not going to, like, run off
and you're going to do good business.
And at the time, the closest thing to me was my mom.
What I said in that interview was how
I messed up thinking I was.
And I mention it because I was trying
to make a point as the growth to how I think now
and how messed up things that we do in our environment
to get ahead.
But it seemed like it just hurt her.
- So--so let me just ask you a question.
So overall, you feel like the interview was horrible?
- I don't feel like it was horrible.
I just felt that I wish I could take back
what I said, mentioning her.
Other than that, it-- that's the truth.
What am I going to do?
- You know, the last time my husband decided
to get up on his own and talk about his life,
his mother was so upset.
[dramatic music]
- At a young age, my mom wasn't always there.
It kind of left me and my brothers [bleep] up.
- Oh, [bleep].
- Mama, what the [bleep] is you doing?
- So he really hates digging deep
when it comes to that kind of stuff.
But if he wants to be impactful,
if he wants to be legendary,
you have to be able to live in your truth and get through it.
- I applaud you for even--
no matter how dirty people think your truth is,
you still told your truth, you know?
And it's like, people who live that life would understand.
I never lived that life,
so I don't understand that talk, so--
- Listen, I've been through it,
so you don't have to go through it, right?
- Exactly, yeah. - Because my past ain't pretty.
I went to prison for 5 1/2 years
for a drug conspiracy and drug trafficking.
No one will ever know what it's like
to say goodbye to your wife and kids.
[shakily] I'm going to call you as much as possible.
[somber music]
[sobs softly] I love you, all right?
[sobbing softly]
That was one of the hardest things I ever had to endure.
I'm not going to say and say I live with regrets,
but I also will say, you know,
my past made me who I am today.
It's hard to be vulnerable because,
you know, people don't understand.
I felt like I did the best with the opportunities that I had.
But I'm trying to tell the young men
that still thinking that way, that is another way.
- I could only imagine what's being said on these blogs.
But I know what's here. He knows what's here.
And those are the things that you're
going to have to, you know, live off of.
You can't be walking around like your world is over.
- I'm even upset that it came out, you know,
because my last thing I want to do is keep hurting her.
- Right.
- It's just like we was in a good place.
- Mm-hmm.
- And it felt like this put us back in a horrible place.
And it's hard for us.
We already have a challenging relationship.
I got to figure this out.
You know, I got to go to New York,
try to make this right with her.
If I can make it right with her,
I can figure me out later.
- Yeah.
- I think any time I tell a story from back in the days,
I'm going to hurt my mom
because sometimes the truth is not pretty.
And I accepted it.
I don't believe she accepted it.
- I love you, man. - I love you, too.
- Coming up on "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta."
- Safaree, he was like being a little flirtatious.
- There was like indirect flirtation.
- So you didn't flirt back?
- You know, I know you grew up in an environment
that kids out there was hustling.
But I also want to know that I do put my part in.
I mean-- - Ain't nobody--

- I just returned from my performance in Cayman Island.
I feel like I'm back in a spice mode.
But I'm not 100% confident, like,
in my health and where I am.
So I'm now going back to the doctors
to get my stent removed.
Getting the stent removed is like one of my biggest hurdles
to go back to my old self.
I always just remind myself
that you're going to be all right,
just to lighten the energy
that's going in my head and through my mind.

- This procedure is a lot.
But can somebody go under anesthesia
so much time, though?
That must mess with you somehow.
I don't think nobody can understand the anxiety
that is coming over me.
Six months ago, I was laying in the hospital
thinking that I was going to die,
so I'm very traumatized when it comes down to
any surgery procedure.
I just don't know how healthy I am.
- ♪♪ This feeling's weighing me down ♪♪
[tense music]
The doctor just told me that they couldn't remove the stent
because I have another hernia.
Knowing what I went through with my first hernia,
to now find out that I have another hernia,
it's hard to process
knowing that I really could die any minute.
- I have no idea I'm going to handle a new procedure
to do a new surgery again for another hernia,
a procedure to remove my gallbladder,
the procedure knowing I have to remove the stent.
It's so many complications
and so many things that's happening in my life.
I'm just praying to God that he will take this case
because I really can't manage no more.

- He talked about how he had to give
his mother's address up for collateral when he was
moving weight for somebody. - Mm.
- Every time he puts himself out there
to talk about his past or talk about things
that he's been through, he gets...
- Right, exactly. - Bombarded with so much hate.
And I personally feel like he needs an outlet
or he needs something. - Yeah.
- And I don't know what that outlet is.
I'm trying to be a supportive wife
and really strengthen my husband at this time
and be his backbone.
But it just feels like he is letting the weight
of the world tear him down.
And I don't know how to get him out of this funk.
Judy and Mendeecees still have not spoken
because of the interview.
And now every little thing seems to stress him out.
It's like, he'll have these things built up
he's holding on to, and then he'll have an explosion.
And then it's on me to take care of everything
and be this stand-up mom and a stand-up wife

- You should still speak your truth, brother.
He's powerful in that. - No, no, no.
You have to understand this from my perspective.
It's not about him.
It's not about anything besides just what I'm feeling
and in this moment in my life.
I have always kept things really
under the belt between us.
And I've always been very politically correct
while going through a [bleep] load of trauma
behind the scenes.
I feel completely misunderstood.
And to be honest with you,
it's bringing up a bunch of bull[bleep].
But nobody knows what's going on.
I really just want to move on.
I'm fragile. And that [bleep] hurts me.

- So Amy, how Atlanta been treating you?
- Girl, so far so good, besides these sorry men.
I'm coming out of a almost six-year relationship.
I just felt like I was carrying a heavier load.
I'm a traditional girl. I'm all for 50/50.
Like, at this point, I don't want 50/50 no more.
- I want 90/10. - I want 90/10.
But let me tell you, I'd take 75/25.
- Yeah.
- Him 75, me 25. - 25.
- I think there's never a real balance.
Some days it's 90/10. Some days it's 50/50.
There's always a variation in the relationship
with who's going through what.
So walking into a relationship saying,
I'm going to need 90/10, it's unrealistic.
- Right.
- It's unrealistic. - Yeah.
- And that's not a relationship.

I was just in the hospital because they erupted.
That's where my--my stomach is all swollen.
Like, I have to go in-- in the next couple of weeks

It wasn't until I was told I had fibroids that now,
all of a sudden, I'm hearing so much about it.
Us as women, like, we don't realize the amount of stuff
we can relate to each other on.
- So with the fibroids, it, like,
sends a chemical like,
disruption to my whole entire body every single month.
And it wouldn't normally be this painful,
but after my last miscarriage last year...
- Uh-huh.
- It kind of offset my cycle to being bad again.
- Mm-hmm. - Mm, wow.
- So I have to do something or I'm going to [bleep]

and I wanted to be out there with those things as well.
I wanted to have the best for my kids.
I wanted to have the best of things.
- It's never was about me.
How many people I helped in-- in our family?
How many people I helped?
It was to benefit us, not just me, us.
Us.
You know, I was a hustler.
Not a robber, not a thief, not a killer.
You know, I had to hustle for everything that I got
because I want to see,
you know, my mom have a better life.
Do you have any one else other than me that you can call on
and that's going to make sure that you good?
- No, I call you. - Okay, that's it.
That's it. That's all you ask.
- I also want to know that I do put my part in.
I mean, I--
- Ain't nobody--Ma, nobody-- I'm not saying that.
Why you--you don't have to be defensive.
- Just the past, the way things come across out here--
- Stop worrying about the past. I mean, the past is the past.
My mom shut me down for telling my truth.
I think, you know, she doesn't want
to relive that time in her life
and she just want to move forward and focus on that.
But if we don't talk about it, then we don't heal
and understanding why things are the way they are now.
- I feel like my son got me.
- I always got you. You knew that.
This not nothing you didn't know.
I got you.
- Coming up on "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta."
- I'm happy, I'm-- - Stop bull[bleep] me around.
What's wrong? - I'm not well.
I feel like I'm going to die early.
- He wasn't just in your face.
You was--y'all both was in each other's face.
- But he's a man.
- And listen, I'm not your knight in shining armor.

I'm here at my "Appreciate Me" video shoot.
This is my first video shoot of 2023,
so I'm super excited about it.
And I hope everything go well.
Holy [bleep], ladies and gentlemen, the beautiful,
the gorgeous... - Oh, my God.
- The talented, make some noise Erica Banks,
ladies and gentlemen. - So crazy. Oh, my God.
You are crazy. - Man, you look good.
Let me feel you. - Oh, God.
- Oh, my God. You feel so good.
- Why are you so warm like that?
I mean, everybody want to know what me and Khaotic doing.
You know, it ain't nothing crazy.
We kind of just scratching the surface a little bit.
And you know, he getting to know me.

Turn it up! Hey! [all cheering]
♪♪ ♪♪
- Get your-- - Let's go.
- Okay. All right.
Put me down, boy. [giggles]
Put me down. Khaotic!
- Me walking up and seeing Khaotic hugging Erica Banks
up in the air like they are [bleep] in a porn video,
I do believe she may be busting it wide open.
I see what's going on, sis.
But I'm going to let this play out.
We're definitely not sharing,
so I'm going to let you have that for now.
- Oh! Oh!
- Hey. Hey.
Hey, where's the microphone? - [laughing]
- Hello, ladies and gents.
We got the beautiful, gorgeous superstar
from Detroit, Amy Luciano!
[cheers and applause]
And she here to learn to dance.
So we got to teach her to dance.
Erica done got to dance. We got to teach--
- You said I was the main video girl.
And I wasn't going to be out here too long.
- Oh, let me tell y'all something.
You are the main video girl. - Okay.
- Just as well as you are the main video girl.
- So Khaotic calls me a week before the video
and he assured me I will be the only girl in the video.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm sitting here looking at him like,
you definitely bamboozled me to come.
- Let's go. Buy you a watch. - For real, look.
I'm going to buy you a watch.
- ♪♪ 'Cause I don't waste your time ♪♪
Look at the time.
Hold on, let me show you what you do.
Come on. Show her what to do.
Come on. - Move, boy.
Ooh. [laughter]
- So Khaotic asked me to be in his video shoot.
And I just want to show up and be petty,
'cause it's like, you let me go through
all that [bleep] other day,
let this man jump all in my face.
So while you're saying that you appreciate women,
you don't appreciate women at all.
Because if you are a real man,
you would have jumped in between me and Scrap
and broke that whole situation up.
I'm trying to see what I'm supposed to be
doing in the video shoot.
Hey, Erica. - Hey.
- Hey, Amy.
I didn't even know y'all was going to be here.
- Yeah. - Khaotic!
all: Hey!
- See, [bleep], this is not giving princess treatment.
- Okay, so come on. Let's sit down and talk about it.
- Khaotic, please get your life.
- I don't really not coming here just for your friends.
- No, there's no way to embarrass.
Come on, let's go. - It is.
- I invited Sierra to come and feel appreciated.
And she's feeling the opposite.
Like, why are you come in here to [bleep] up the vibe?
What I do to you?
- Let's get to the real point.
- Okay, let's get to the point. So the point with you--
Scrappy came for you--
- Disrespected me-- - Yeah, no.
- Called me a [bleep]. - No, I understand that.
- Jumped in my face and pushed me.
[overlapping chatter] - Look at him.
- First of all--
- And you stood right beside me.
- First--first of all--
- As a man, that says that you want to feel appreci--
all this [bleep]? I didn't feel appreciated.
- Can I? Can I talk?
- I got between them several times to try to stop Scrappy
and to try to stop her.
- Look at him. - Look at her.
Look at her.
- This [bleep] really want to fight me.
- I don't want to fight you.
I ain't did nothing about fight you.
- Who do that?
- And I'm not finna risk my life or my freedom
over somebody that don't want to listen to me.
So here's my response.
Like I said, several times I asked Scrappy,
bro, chill. Several times.
It was even one time I was standing in between you and him
to get each other out of each other face.
He wasn't just in your face.
You was in--y'all both was in each other's face.
- But he's a man-- - And he was dead wrong.
- And so another man should have been
able to put hands on him and tell him
to get the [bleep] out of--
- Listen, I'm not your knight in shining armor.
[dramatic music]
- Coming up on "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta."
- That's like saying pull a lion off of a wildebeest.
It was a lot of people there. Why is it all about Khaotic?
- I'm not doing good. I have another hernia.
- Are you serious?
- It's bigger than the first time.
- ♪♪ On my way to the top, and it ain't no stopping ♪♪
[dramatic music]
- Y'all both was in each other face.
- But he's a man. - And he was dead wrong.
- And so another man should have been
able to put hands on him and tell
him to get the [bleep] out--
- Listen, I'm not your knight in shining armor.
♪♪ ♪♪
- Khaotic just sat here and said
"I'm not your knight in shining armor."
Basically, what he was saying is,
"Because I'm not [bleep] you,
then it's not my place to take up for you."
- This is between Scrappy and Bambi.
- Oh, wow. Oh, wow. - I didn't see him push you.
I told Sierra, "Hey, Sierra, stop.
Hey, Scrappy, stop." Nobody listened to me.
So what do you want me to do?
You were not minding your business.
You is arguing with somebody else
about his life with his wife and his children.
Sometimes you have to sit to the side
and allow your friend, Bambi,
to take care of her business with her man.
- What about calling me a [bleep]
and saying I'm a [bleep]? How did you feel about that?
- I didn't hear him say you a [bleep].
- Oh, wow. - I don't know what I heard.
- We all look beautiful and I don't got time for this.
I just wanted to tell you how I felt you were wrong.
And I see you got a lot of mains, so it's nothing for me,
you know what I'm saying? - Yeah.
- So enjoy. Have a good day. - But I ain't.
I think probably how she's feeling
is like, just as a woman,
she probably wanted somebody to stop it.
- It was several men that was there
that could have stopped that.
So I don't know why y'all coming at me.
- All I'm saying from a female perspective
is probably to de-escalate and pull him off.
- That's like saying pull a lion off of a wildebeest.
It was a lot of people there. Why is it all about Khaotic?
Y'all must be attracted to me or something.
- Okay. - Probably being attracted.
- No, we're not.
- No, y'all are doing that to me.
- And we're so not attracted that, Erica,
I ain't even being funny.
This is your video. Bye, girl. Have fun.
- All right.
Khaotic plays too many games.
He air [bleep] his girl right in front of me.
And I'm not worried about this "princess treatment"
and appreciate me fake [bleep] he's giving me.
And I'm out the video.
- All right, we going to cue the music.
- We tired.
- There you go. [laughter]
- Energy, man. There you go.
all: ♪♪ You look good, good girl ♪♪
♪♪ I want to feel appreciated ♪♪ [laughter]
- Yeah! [laughter]
- What's up, man? - Hey.
- What's up, my brother? - Man, I'm cooling.
Man, I see you doing your thing.
- Listen, I need to talk to you.
You need to come over here.
No, you need to come talk to me now.
Let's go. - What's going on, though?
- No.
- Man, so I pull up to Khaotic video shoot.
And it's just for real, for real, to support homie.
And all of a sudden,
he snapped me to the side already.
Like, I'm like,
"What the hell Khaotic gotta tell me, like, this fast?
I just got here."
- Bro, you don't know what just went down, bro.
- What went down?
- Sierra just pulled up in the big boys truck,
bounced out, and gave me the business, bro.
- All right, listen, man-- - I'm talking about--
no, no, no, she gave me the business, bro.
She said, "Oh, you 'posed to be giving
"women princess treatment.
"You 'posed to be protecting women.
"But you left me for dead.
You let Scrappy call me a [bleep]."
- I didn't even call her no bitch.
- You let Scrappy--no, I--can I--let me tell you, man.
I let you push her.
- When did I push her?
- Go head over there [bleep].
- I didn't stop you.
I did not stop you. - Stop me from what?
She's trying to act like a victim,
like somebody was trying to hurt her.
I ain't did nothing to Sierra but defend myself
when she put her hand in my face, put her hand on me.
You speaking crazy to me, I'ma speak crazy to you.
If I gotta move him out of my way to get out my face,
I would do that, too, you know what I'm saying?
Show me respect, I show you respect.
- You as a--first of all, you a big [bleep].
- I'm not a big [bleep]. - You is big.
Come on, man, we be in the gym together, [bleep].
You be pumping that [bleep] now.
We could do like this.
And they saying you come just this right here,
look like, "Oh, he--he act like he about to hit me."
- First of all, girl-- - And you know you not.
So Scrappy denies everything that happened.
"I didn't do this. I didn't do that.
I didn't do that."
But bro, you were wrong.
- It was Scrap say.
Scrap say you--you get the same energy you put out.
So you come to somebody's face screaming,
a motherfucker gon' scream back.
I feel like Sierra in the wrong.
She came to start [bleep] with me
and to be in my business.
So hell, yeah, I'ma stand up like a king,
you know what I'm saying, and tell him
to get the [bleep] on.
As long as I ain't putting
no paws on no women, man,
that's--that's--I feel like I'm good to defend myself.
- They ain't got nothing to do with my life, cuz,
and you trying to tell-- you cussing me up, man.
- But Scrap, you [bleep]-- you owe the apology.
- No. No. She owe me an apology
for being in my business and walking up on me.
- Okay, y'all both need to hash [bleep] out.
Can you talk to her without matching her energy?
'Cause that what we gotta do, Scrap.
We the men, We gotta accept
the "You know what? I'm sorry, Sierra.
- Coming up on "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta"...
- What's wrong with you?
Wait, what's wrong with your face?

- Oh, hey. - Well, hello there.
You are the cutest server I've ever seen.
- Thank you!
Can you put this on the table in the back, please?
- What are you doing?
- Hey, mama. - Looking cute.
- You know, just working.
How are you feeling? - I'm good.
How are you?
- You know, some days, I'm the waiter.
Some days, I'm on kitchen patrol.
- Tell me about it. - Making crepes.
Other days, I'm sweeping floors.
- What? - Girl, you know--
- Have you had the days where the toilet is clogged up
and you need to stick your hand in?
- Girl, I had that day.
That's the one day I don't want to ever have.
Not with a-- - Hey!
You look so darling! - Hi!
- Which way do I go?
- To the middle.
- Hi, honeybuns.
- So I haven't seen Yandy or Rasheeda for a long while.
And to be honest, I've been going through a lot.
And I just need some girls
to kind of cheer me up a little bit,
catch up with them real quick.
What's up with you guys?
- We went to a event a couple of days before.
And it was a PR event.
I went to the bar for five seconds.
I turned around, and I saw Erica Mena,
who was on top of the thing right here,
screaming at Scrappy, going crazy on him.
- Erica? - So--yes, baby.
All I heard from the bar was, "Don't mention my kids!"
And I saw Momma Dee jump from her on inside.
Sierra was telling me that Momma Dee told her
Scrappy got Diamond pregnant.
- [gasps] What?
- No, we don't know how true it is.
- No. - No.
- Of course it is.
Diamond is pregnant? - I don't know.
No. I don't know.
That's not from my mouth.
That's from Momma Dee's mouth. - Right.
So...
- Don't do that.
- No, but seriously, how you been, Spice?
- No, I'm grateful.
I'm happy. I'm...
- Stop [bleep] around. What's wrong?
- It's all over your face. - Mm-hmm.
- I'm not well.
I'm not doing good.
[sighs] I have another hernia.
- Are you serious?
- It's bigger than the first time.
- How are you keep getting these hernias?
- I think this one is caused
because they opened my chest up
and they didn't sew me back.
So now I'm left with a big hole in my stomach.
- Oh, my God.
It's always something. - Jesus, Spice.
- I feel like I'm gonna die early.
- Don't say that. - Please.
- Don't say that.
- I hate to hear that Spice has another hernia.
She has to think optimistically.
She will get through this.
You cannot talk like that.
- Please don't say that. Give me some love.
- It's just the truth. - Don't say that, Spice.
You can't say that.
- It's the truth. It's how I feel.
- You can't say that kind of stuff.
You're not. - All this stuff
that you don't come through, that we don't come through--
- I don't know, sometimes-- - Spice.
- I feel like-- [phone chimes]
Look at God.
- The baby daddy? - Shut up.
- No.
My daughter called me. - Oh.
- Wow.
- Let me just answer her real quick and just say hi
'cause, you know, they're in Jamaica, so...
I was just answering you to tell you
that I'ma call you right back.
I'm actually here with aunties, but I want--
[gasps]
What's wrong with you?
Wait, what's wrong with your face?
What's wrong? Let me see.
I'm getting a flight. I'm coming--
what's wrong with your eyes?
Are you--are you having any difficulty breathing?
- I feel like me gonna pass out.
I gotta go, guys.
I'm so sorry. - Oh, my God.
- Every day is something else.
I don't know if her mouth is about to close up
and then she'll go can't breathe.
I'm just in panic mode right now.
Like, I don't even know what to do.
I'm just trying to rush to get a flight.
Like, I don't even know how to think.
I don't know how to react.
Like, every mother can understand.
Only a mother can relate.
Can you please take her to the hospital for me
or something, or the doctor?
Where's the driver?
Please.
Oh, my God. Every day something else.
Oh, my God.
[breathes raggedly]
[dramatic music]
- Next on "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta"...
- If you pushed a little more buttons,
then we can make our grand opening date.
I need my business partner to handle her business.
We're losing money.
- Come on, Kirk. It takes both of us
to make this [bleep] boat rock.
- I'm just interested to know,
what are your thoughts on Bambi as a stepmom?
- I don't care for her. I never have.
- If ten people say you a ho, you a ho.
If ten people say you stole a song, you're a thief.
- Bitch gonna sit in my face
and cut me no slide and say all this extra [bleep].
- You don't write songs. You a slide.
I write them all, [bleep].
- This is not going the way I wanted it to go.
