- I cannot believe this grand opening is three days away.
- Yeah, it feel like a long time in the making.
- It was a long time in the making.
But honestly, I just want to say,
thank you guys so much for the support.
One of my goals in moving to Atlanta
was to open up my first Yelle store.
An all-natural plant-based
skin care line for the average woman.
And my goal for the store is to have it look
like the Garden of Eden when you walk in.
But smack dead in the middle of me trying to get the store
and the decor right, we decided to go to Dubai.
Oh, take me back.
[cheers and applause]
It was needed, seeing all the family out there,
everybody seemed like they had a good time.
- Dubai was like one of the dopest experience.
- I literally have less than a week to get this girl
ready for our grand opening.
I already invited Rasheeda, Sierra, Karlie.
Then some of the girls from New York,
Jonathan is coming down. I invited Erica too.
- Uh-oh.
When I invited Safaree, he's like, you know,
"Please don't invite my other half."
- I love them both.
That has nothing to do with me. I invited her, you invited him.
- Is it gonna be drama free?
- I mean, I think they both respect us enough
not to have no drama.
They know how to, you know, be in the same room and be cool.
At least, I hope.
Listen, I think they love each other
and they just got things to work through.
Maybe in this beautiful Garden of Eden,
they'll be filled with love all over again.
- That's good that you're wishful thinking.
- After you, Kirk.
- Hey, hey, hey. What's going on?
- I'm definitely very proud of Yandy.
You know, she came to Atlanta, next thing you know
she's opening her business the Yelle shop.
And that's what you're supposed to do.
You're supposed to get in here,
make moves, make more money for your family.
So I'm very happy for what she's doing.
Y'all make me happy, I ain't gonna lie,
when I get around y'all I be happy.
- Same here, Joc.
How's your family doing? Your boy's good?
- I'm gonna tell you like this.
The last 30 days of my life have been trying
on a lot of personal levels, you know what I'm saying?
But I'm getting through it. I ain't gonna say
I got through it, I'm getting through it.
And that's why I need to holler at you and your woman.
- A'ight. So let's head out. - I lost my cool,
the last time me and my son had a face to face.
Apparently, I ain't as good as I thought when it comes
to making sure I get right to the point
and making it make sense for my son.
So yeah, I'm gonna get a chance to holler
at Kirk and Mendeecees.
Both of these guys are a little older than me
so I think it's worth sitting down,
talking with the brothers
to see how we can all come to some type of resolve.
Imagine you talking to your son and somebody come along,
get you shut down.
And your son is over here
checking on the person who got your [bleep] shut down.
- Feel like a traitor. - You like, what you doing?
I done ran up on his ass so [bleep] fast.
[bleep] like a little brick wall though.
- A fight? - I landed up on him like,
what you doing?
- This was very saddening to hear that Joc had
a physical fight with his son.
You know, I think there is a level of respect
that parents should have and a son should have
and that line shouldn't be crossed.
- That [bleep] went crazy, man. I took that damn bar stool bro,
and before you know it, I'm busting out glasses.
- Do you feel like the need that you need to talk to him?
Like the--so y'all could be able to put this behind y'all
and sort of move forward? - I want to, bro.
I want to 'cause I am the bigger man.
- Mm-hmm. - I'm the father.
- Yeah.
- But that doesn't mean that I have to--
- But you should have a mediator in here.
- But I want to. After all this transpired Amoni
and I have not spoken in about two, almost three weeks.
We gotta come together man, we gotta squash this.
- You know how he taking it? - I'm trying to keep it cool.
- It's like you insulted him.
That's not how kids work, bro. They don't work like that.
- Kirk, I got homies losing they children.
I don't want to be in that club.
- Every time I talk to my son, he'd be like,
"Okay, here come another lecture."
I say, "Listen, you lucky that you got somebody
to give you a lecture, I never had that."
- Right. My pops got locked up.
- "What people wanted to give me,
oh, you don't want that. You lucky I'm talking to you."
Because you know, you-- we from the same place.
- I can't even believe,
I'm just like, "This ain't really happening."
I don't know what to do. I'm like, "I'm losing you, son.
Like, what is you doing? I'm losing you."
- Yeah, you--you gotta find something.
Joc's business is his focus
and I don't think his son can relate to that yet
because he's never had one.
So you gotta find a better angle to kind of relate
to him versus just saying
you're losing a million-dollar business.
That really don't mean nothing to none of our kids right now.
- No pastor? You don't go to church.
- That's not of bad idea. As mad as I am, bro,
I can't just let him go to the wayside.
I can't man. I'mma talk to the pastor and say, "Look man,
can you, you know, can we possibly just uh-uh?"
- You got some real [bleep] going on.

Come on back. - Thank you.
- Come on back this way.
- So this is the last thing I wanted to do.
I'm really, really hurting.
I'm a mess, I'm pregnant, I'm alone, I'm scared.
I never would have thought I would have this
big fairytale wedding, to be on baby number two,
and now, be filing for divorce.
- When we filed the divorce, it was very bare bones.
We didn't put anything else in there.
And then I know what you've been upset about
is that he recently filed some paperwork.
- When I went into this,
I was very adamant with my legal team
that I wanted this to be fair,
I didn't want it to get dirty.
But when Safaree counter suited,
it was just-- it's baffling to read
all the things that he said.
And from what I'm being told around town
that he has a lawyer that just fights dirty.
And it's obvious what's being said in these papers,
we have to have some kind of court ordered
set visitation hearing.
He's making me feel like
I'm this random woman he had kids with.
- We all thought the deal was Erica has her child,
everything goes well and then we get together
and we do a mediation and we resolve everything.
But now he's asking for an expedited hearing,
and they wanna do all this before your child is born.
That means in the next couple days
you're gonna have to go through the stress
of resolving a whole divorce and maybe having a hearing.
- I know, but it's scary
because he's asking for 50% custody.
I was in the hospital for a week,
he didn't cancel any gigs.
I almost went into premature labor twice that week,
and then next thing you know, I see him all over Instagram
groping other women...
[upbeat hip-hop music]
♪ ♪
But you want 50% custody.
Safaree doesn't-- - By the way,
just to clear it up.
When someone has joint custody,
it does not mean they have 50% of the time.
It means--what will happen in your case most likely
is the children will live with you.
You know, you're gonna be a primary custodian
and he's gonna have a parenting plan.
And with young babies, you're gonna have a default plan
that says we're gonna try to let him
have these days and these days,
but y'all can agree to whatever you want.
- And that's what worries me because Safaree
is not capable of having my kids,
especially this young.
I know I would never lose custody of my kids
because you can call me a lot of [bleep] names
in the book if you want to,
but I [bleep] dare you to say I'm not a good mother.
What's very difficult when it comes to Safaree
is he has not fully stepped up to the plate in understanding
that when you have kids, they come first.
He runs any time real life [bleep] happens.
He's not a bad dad,
he's just-- he thinks he can pick
and choose when he wants to be around.
- The big picture is he's not taking your babies from you.
You'll end up with custody, you're the mom.
There's nothing embarrassing about going through divorce
and sometimes there's something embarrassing
about not filing for divorce.

- There was no way we wanted to trust the kids to run
Frost Bistro on their own while we went to Dubai.
- You know, when I try to close out the night
and the totals don't match up?
- Mm-hmm.
- So there was a bill for 142 plus a $19 tip and lookie here,
the balance was off $161.
Something ain't adding up.
- So we decided to bring in a temporary manager
to help run things while we were gone away.
- Me personally, I think the food being stolen.
I don't know if you're inviting your friends to come in,
you giving them free food. - That's what it sound like.

You're lame as [bleep] for that.
- Who is It?
- I don't want to get into nothing personal
that's gonna 'cause a family feud.
- At this point,
we need to sit 'em down and sort things out.
- Let's just be honest, I'm annoyed
with this whole situation going on at the bistro.
With the server, and food being taken out of the window
and disappearing, and drinks disappearing and all of that.
And we'll have that conversation later,
but there's something that's more important
than anything else going on right now.
Have you been on social media?
- Not really.
- So you haven't seen Scrappy's post?
- What he done did?
- "Shout-out to all the men going through mental illnesses
"with no one to turn to because the world
"wrongly taught males to mask their emotions.
"Men suffer, men have suicidal thoughts.
"Men die by suicide.
"We need to encourage men to speak up.
not expect them to man up."
Then on his caption.
"I'm experiencing this right now.
Just lean on God, take it back, Jack."
- Oh, wow. That's bad.
- I have never heard him or felt as though
he would be dealing with something like that.
- Let me see it. - The "I'm experiencing this
right now" thing is what got me.
- No. Yeah. He basically sending like
a suicidal--he asking--, that's asking for help.
For him to blurt that out on social media,
it's gotta be bad. And I felt like,
"Why didn't you reach out or let me know sooner?"
Like you shouldn't be going through that pain alone.
At this point, it must have built up pretty [bleep] bad
if you let it out.
For him to post that,
that means he's physically going through something.
Wow. - You know,
when you going through marital problems
and relationship things,
you can get into a deep, dark place.
We know something about that.
Marriage is, it's a lot--
- Like neither one of us came here with our rings on today.
- I see. - So--
- I walked by and seen the ring on the--on the counter.
I had mine on, I was like, "Well, what am I doing?"
- Scrappy's been family for me and Kirk for 20 years probably.
And I know things have not been good,
but to see what he just posted makes me think,
hold on, there's a lot going on in his head
and we are extremely concerned.
- You know what?
You need to hit Bambi and see where he's at.
- I'll text her. - Yeah.
We need to figure that out.
I feel like me looking at Scrappy, looking in his eyes,
I can know what's going on.
Is it because something's going on with you and Bambi?
Are you really sitting here contemplating doing something,
which I pray you're not.
You know, I feel like, let me analyze it
and talk to him face to face, get his body language
and then we're gonna adjust as we're talking.
-Coming up on "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta"...

and we were gonna-- you know,

Like, not you and your friends and [bleep] like that.

[bleep] went up.
I don't know if she thought like I was just gonna be
at home all the time, but I got back on my hustle.
I released "GA/FL".
And you can't just sit in one place in this position

There's some people hold your pay, and so it like,
"I'm gonna go get that."
I'm out of town, like I normally call,
she pick up FaceTime, talk to my babies,

I don't play about my babies.
[bleep] this [bleep], that how I feel, bro.
- You're scaring me these days.
I feel like Scrappy is just like,
"It's done. It's over with."
I know you love Bambi,
I think I know you want to be with Bambi and your family,
but I do think you being macho
because you supposed to be as a man.
No, you need to let your guards down
and have a real one-on-one with your wife
and let her know what's going on in your head.
- When I made that post,
I was really talking about mental health
and the way men are and the way women want men to be.
They want us to shut up and take it

We like to be around successful couples.
- Yeah. - Right? It inspire us.
Even, we look at the history Rasheeda and Kirk.
- Yeah.
- They've been together for 20 something years.
So we just asking them, "How y'all get there?"
Because there's plenty of times they want to kill each other.
What you going through, that sound extremely hard,
but don't give up.

It good to know that people will come pull up

When you're like in a real solid relationship or marriage,
that's gotta be a different type of high.
Yandy is Safaree's friend and being married to him
has actually brought me and Yandy closer.
I've been able to kind of pick her brain on marriage,

"What's up with your friend?
Like do you know something I didn't know?"
How was the wedding though?
- It was beautiful. It was so--
- Do you feel refreshed? Like it's like a start over--

Sitting here talking to Erica about my vow renewal
and she may be getting a divorce, was not easy.
She was one of the most beautiful brides.
Safaree was shining and happy.
I hate that a few years later,
we are here in this space with them and I'm hoping that,
you know, in this conversation there may still be a chance.
How are you doing?
- Filing for divorce was the hardest decision on my life.
And I still am like,
"I don't even know if I'm doing the right thing."
Like, "Why did you marry me to do this to me?"
Like why?
And then I'm pregnant by myself,
like I'm a single mother.
- Oh, my God.
Erica, the first thing,
you have got to take care of yourself.
- I was already depressed, I had found out he cheated
after I found out I was pregnant.
I found out my husband was cheating
because I had an intuition.
I hired a detective who told me everything I needed to know.
I have the proof, I wouldn't even mention the girls
just because they're all whack.
I'm not in this to make a [bleep] show of my marriage.
He wants to rush our divorce to happen before the baby's born.
He wants to sue me for his stuff.
He wants 50% custody.
He wants a rush court hearing for visitation with Safire.
- I'm not understanding why Safaree would even wanna
put Erica through this before the baby is born.
Do you understand what stress can do to a baby?
I never wanna take one side of the story,
but this side from her is breaking my heart.
You have my number and you can call me anytime.
That's it, don't depend on him and what he got going on.
He gotta deal with that with God and his own demons.
You can't do the [bleep] that he's doing to a woman like you
or to that those babies and get away with it.

"Hey, don't move."
How did I get charges?
Y'all were looking for my brother,
instead they get me guns in my face,
guns in my lady face.
I coulda got killed

my heart is on my sleeve and you kinda like,
"Man, I don't want it. Psh.
Get your little heart outta here."
- Right. Like I told him. - That's how I felt.
- It's coming from a place of loving you,
