- * MTV *
- Kenya--she care about what I go through.
She want to see me win.
- You're in love with Kenya?
- Yeah, bro. I love her.
- You guys say "I love you"?
- Yeah, I say that to her.
- [yelling] - That's the friend!
The friend in the video!
- What is she hiding? [knock on door]
- Who that? - What the hell?
Nobody ever knocks on our door.
- Hello?
[dramatic musical sting]
[soft pop music]
- I'm back from Chile,
where I ran a incredible 300-mile team relay
through the Atacama Desert.
- Oof. That's amazing.
- So it's the driest place on Earth,
and everybody runs 50 miles.
- Wow. - It was great.
- I'm proud of you, and also,
I don't think that that is an experience
that I will ever have in life.
I'm out.
Should we run into this next case?
- On your marks.
Get set.
Go! Here we go.
"And I'm a 31-year-old musician living in Brooklyn.
"I've been talking to my girl Kenya for five months now.
"She's 25 and works as a makeup artist in Atlanta.
We met when she followed me on Instagram."
- * Follow me, hoo, hoo, hoo *
- "She DM'd me saying she likes my songs,
and we started talking from there."
- * Just let the river take us *
* Down, down, down tonight *
- "We talked for hours, and I never do that with anyone.
I'm only that guy for her."
- * Follow me *
- "I love this girl.
"I'm even ready to move to Atlanta to be with her,
"but some things ain't right.
"She works a lot, which I understand,
"but she never FaceTimes because of it.
"And what's crazy is, I sent her a plane ticket
"to come visit me in New York,
"and she never even got on the plane.
"Then I went down to Atlanta and even tried to visit her.
"I booked a hotel for us and planned
"a really romantic week with her.
"But then she just never showed up.
"I tried to end things and block her number,
but she crept back in, and now we're back together."
* *
"We made up after the last attempt,
"but I don't know how many more of these I have in me.
I need your help because, after all this mess..."
- Clearly, something's up.
But if he sent her a plane ticket,
then he has to have her real name.
- You can put it in any name you want when you buy a ticket.
It only matters when you get to the airport...
- Well, that's true.
- If your ID matches the ticket.
- Well, then he actually went to Atlanta,
and she didn't show up.
So that tells me everything that I need to know.
- We got to call this guy.
[line trills]
- Ching, ching, ching.
- Kash, it's Nev and Kamie.
[laughter]
- "Get outta here."
- We just read your email, and we got a lot of questions.
- Mm-hmm. - So you're in Brooklyn?
- Oh. - Oh, what is your business?
Do you make music?
- OK. - Wow. All right.
Out here doing it.
- And Kenya, she's in Atlanta currently,
as far as you know?
- Do you talk to her every day?
- But no FaceTime?
- Well, the good news is, you're in LA,
which just happens to be where we are right now.
- So if you are free,
we should just meet and talk face-to-face.
- All right, great. - Send us the addy.
- See you soon, man.
- Bet.
[laughter]
That's the first time I've said "bet."
- I know. I could tell.
[laughter]
We're gonna need to do
some Urban Dictionary lessons on the way.
Need to brush up. - All right, well--
- Ready? We out?
- Bet.
- [laughing]
That's cringe.
- * Wake up, get yourself together *
* It's going down *
- I like that he tried to meet her.
When she didn't show up--now, don't know what her excuse was,
and I'm curious what possible excuse you could then have.
- * You want to blow up, gotta show up *
* You got something to do *
- But for him to then not get a FaceTime
and keep talking to her is crazy.
And then to go all the way down to Atlanta,
and she just doesn't meet up,
and for him to keep talking to her after that--crazy.
- Crazy.
- * Wake up *
- Wait a minute. - What?
- Look at what's in the yard. - Oh.
- There's red flags all over the yard.
This... - Oh, my God.
- Is foreshadowing, my friend.
Oh! Kash money. - Uh-oh.
- What's up with you? - Hey.
- Wow. - Wow.
- Good to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
- I'm Kamie. - I know who you are.
- Nice to meet you. - What's up, buddy?
- What's up, playa? - [laughing]
- Hold on, before we go in, question--
when you look out at this front yard here,
what do you see?
- I ain't in the hood, I'll tell you that.
- [laughs] Yes.
In addition to that...
- They're red flags, Kash, red flags.
- I ignored all of them... - Yeah.
- Like I been doing my whole life.
I ignore all of them. - We see.
- When I came over here to my friend's house,
I should have ripped them red flags up out of the ground.
- All right, let's go inside.
OK, so you are a recording artist?
- Yeah. - Singer, rapper?
- Both, but... - Both.
- I try to gravitate more to the R&B.
- Mm-hmm. - Cool, cool.
So, Kash, take us back to the beginning
and tell us the story of how you met Kenya.
- She first started liking all my stuff.
- OK. - Like, she on Instagram,
she was just liking everything up like crazy.
- And then she DM'd you?
- Yeah, she DM'd me.
[R&B beat]
- So you saw her and thought what?
- My first thought, like, honestly,
you know what I wanted.
- [laughs]
- You've got the picture. I ain't have to even say
what I wanted. You know what it was.
We start doing our little chat, and then,
eventually, we exchanged numbers.
- And then how soon after that did you have
your first phone call?
- Probably a couple days later.
- OK, so pretty quickly, you went from Instagram
to texting to talking on the phone?
- Yeah. - What'd you guys talk about?
- Just everything. Like, she told me about
how she started her own little makeup business.
And I learned about her family and her relationship with them,
and she learned about mine.
Well, we both had family that suffered from cancer.
We both got to deal with that. That shit is tough.
It's a lot. - It is, yeah.
- We talk about everything.
I'm ready to call her right now.
Like, I like talking to her.
- Aww. - Yeah, facts.
- So how serious is your relationship?
- I love her, bro. I love her.
- You guys say, "I love you"?
- Yeah, I say that to her.
- Does she say it back? - Yeah.
She the one who told me she loved me first.
- So you're in love with Kenya?
- Yeah, bro.
- And she's in love with you.
Then why haven't you guys met up?
What happened with the New York trip?
- It was her birthday, so she's like, I want to go to New York.
I want to come see you too.
So me being the guy I am, I paid.
I wanted to see her, feel me? I paid for the flight.
And then I had it sent to her email.
- So you had her first and last name.
- Yeah, I got all that information.
- And her birthday, obviously. - Yeah. Yeah.
- And you just booked her a ticket.
- And her email address. - I just booked it.
I asked her for the email once it was already paid for.
- And she was excited? - Yeah.
- OK. So the day before,
you must have been like, yo, tomorrow is your flight.
Are you ready? Like, were you guys talking?
- Like, I tried hitting her up, but she never even answered.
Like, she just straight ghosted me.
- You just didn't hear from her?
- Yeah, nah, I ain't hear from her, bro.
So I just blocked her on everything, you feel me?
Like, I don't play that shit.
- But then you heard from her again, right?
- Yeah, yeah. - How did that happen?
- You know the TextMe app?
- Oh. - She just--
she, like, a fisher with that shit.
- How long after you blocked her?
- Like, instantly, you feel me? - Oh, wow.
- Like, once she started seeing, like,
oh, I can't reach him, that's when.
But she kept trying, feel me?
And that's why I knew, like, she really cared.
Like, She even called me one time crying, bro.
- Hmm. - But did she explain
why she didn't come to New York?
- She said some shit about her family.
Like, "Oh, it's a family emergency,"
and some family bullshit.
- All right, so then fast-forward to--
how long before you then said,
"All right, well, I'm coming to Atlanta"?
- I had another reason to go down there,
and I tried to intertwine her into that reason.
- And when you told her you were coming down...
- She was excited. - She was excited?
- Yeah, like same shit.
She was excited. "Oh, I'm excited."
- "Oh, I can't wait to see you."
- "Come, come, come, come, come."
And then soon as I come, she pull the fucking thing out
of the water before I could even hold onto the hook
and come out of the water with her.
- So what happened? You got to Atlanta, and...
- I got to Atlanta. First day, "Oh, I'm working."
Blasé-blah. "I'ma see you after work."
She like, oh, I'ma come see you.
I want to go to here [indistinct].
We ended up not going.
Second day now, I called her up one more time.
She didn't answer.
I blocked her... - Blocked.
- On everything. - I knew it.
But she got unblocked?
- She got unblocked. - [sighs]
So how did she get you this time?
- She do the same shit.
- She cried? - Of course.
- Did she have any explanation
for why she couldn't meet up with you in Atlanta?
- She said she was going to, but I got impatient too quick.
- Mm. - I mean, come on.
I don't have to explain to you why a lot of Kenya's behavior
indicates she's hiding something.
- Yeah. - You clearly are
a funny, outgoing person.
You're doing your thing, a lot of r-rizz.
[laughter]
Right? It's interesting to me that, here you are now,
five months into a pretty serious relationship
with this girl who's playing games with you.
- It's like, she cares, bro.
I could talk to her about anything.
She care about what I go through.
She want to see me win.
Like, I could help boost her up,
and she could help boost me up.
- What has she said in terms of why she can't FaceTime?
- Her phone was fucked up.
- I think, because of the lack of FaceTime'ing,
you should probably consider the fact that she's not
the girl in the pictures.
- But I know I ain't tripping, feel me?
Because she got more than that one page, feel me?
- What do you mean, on Instagram?
- Yes. She got two pages.
Like, she got a page that she do makeup on,
where she got clients and all of that.
- OK. - And they be tagging her,
and they tagging that, feel me? - OK.
Oh, so you've done research?
- She got it right on her page.
Like, when you go look on her page, you can see it.
Like, it's her page. And then in her bio,
she got another page tagged to it.
That's her business page. - OK.
I want to see the phone because I want to see the pictures.
So these are from texts? - Yes.
- OK, she got body. She got hair.
- Wow. - She's giving face.
It's definitely giving glam.
- She be dolled up. She don't play that.
- She sent you a video.
Here we go, here we go.
[music playing, no audible dialogue]
- * Love you *
- You can't hear her, but she said, "I love you."
She's at the hookah spot.
She's with somebody. Has she ever talked
about this friend that she's with?
- Nah. I don't know who that girl is.
She got so many friends. - I have to say,
even just watching her in this video,
I couldn't help but smile.
She's fun. - She's cute.
- She got better pictures on Instagram.
- Show us her Instagram. - Let's see it.
- OK. She has 4,000 followers.
OK. It looks like she has a good amount of comments.
- And then, wait, go to her makeup page.
- [bleep] Barbies? - Yeah, that's her makeup page.
- OK. I mean, this looks like a totally real page to me.
- Looking at these pages, Kenya does seem legit.
- Mm-hmm. - Yeah.
- So then, what is she hiding?
- Something's off. Something's wrong.
- That's why I'm reaching out to you, feel me?
I told her I was gonna bring her on here.
both: You did? - Yeah.
- What did you say?
- She laughed. She laughed.
Like, she just laughed.
Like, this is my third strike.
- Right. - If she don't come
meet up with us, you like the feds, feel me?
You got, like, a 99% rate.
Once I see you, I know--
- It's a wrap. - I'ma just put it
in God's hands and y'all hands, feel me?
That's it.
- All right, well, let us get into it.
Send us an email with all the info you have.
- All right. I'm ready, though.
- All right. Let's see if we can figure it out.
- Yo. - Good to meet you.
- Pleasure, bro. - Good to meet you.
It's hard to believe somebody is pretending
to be the girl on the Instagram.
It's impossible because she DM'd him from her Instagram,
and she has collaborative posts on her Instagram
with her makeup page, so, like, that's her.
- Right. - But it's possible
that someone hijacked her page.
But if it's really her, what is going on with her in her life?
Because even though they haven't met in person,
FaceTime'ing should not be a problem.
- Right. Someone's hiding something.
- Yeah. And I'm worried it could be really bad.
- All right, what do we got?
We've got Kash and Kenya.
They're in love. - So they say.
- Kash makes music.
Kenya does makeup.
Met on Instagram,
fell in love quick,
talk every day.
He's really into her. - Mm-hmm.
- They've had this sort of cycle of talking,
getting close, she stands him up,
he blocks her, she finds another way.
Like, she's just persistent... - Yeah.
- Which is also annoying because, like,
if you're hiding something, stop reeling him back in.
- Mm-hmm. - Here's what's interesting.
So they talk on the phone all the time.
- Yeah. - She won't FaceTime.
- Right. Why?
- All right, here we go.
Kash has updated us.
"Hey, Nev and Kamie, it's Kash.
"You guys are awesome. For real, thank you.
"OK, so her name is Kenya [bleep],
"and she stays in Atlanta.
We met on IG, and her handle is @badi[bleep]."
And this is the number that she's texted him on.
And the pics are attached.
[tense music]
- Oh, the video.
[music playing, no audible dialogue]
- * I love you *
- I like the friend. I want to meet the friend.
- All right, what do you want to do, run the photo?
Let's just see here if we get any hits at all.
- No. - Nothing?
- Mm-mm.
- Let's just go to Instagram.
Let's take a really closer look.
There she is. No mention of her name.
"I do makeup."
All right, let's see.
- She does have a lot of comments.
- Right. - It's just,
why is nobody saying her name?
I feel like somebody would be like, "Kenya, OMG."
And are all these pages real?
- Wait a second, all these comments--
almost all just heart eyes.
Look, yeah, people are just selling--
like, "Promote it on this page," you know?
"Blessings to you and your family."
There's no personal comments.
Yesterday when we looked at this page,
it seemed pretty legit.
Now, the more closely I look, we could be wrong.
All right, I want to go back
and do a little phone number search.
So let's drop this in.
- Ooh.
- Ebone [bleep], 26.
That's the right age. - Mm.
- Interesting. Lives in Atlanta.
- Who is Ebone?
We should put this number in Cash App.
- Ah, good idea.
- 470...
- Yeah, [bleep].
[exhales sharply]
- Ebone...
[gasps]
Clicking, clicking.
- Hold on, let's see. Who is this?
- She looks kind of familiar, right?
- Let's look her up on Facebook.
- Oh, no.
I thought it could have been the real Kenya.
- I think this is her.
- Hold up, hold up, hold up. She looks very familiar.
- Hold on, let's see. Who is this?
Who is she? Who is she?
[music playing]
- Wait.
[yelling] - That's the friend!
The friend from the video!
That's the friend!
- Pull it back up. - Hold on.
Here.
That's from that same-- - Oh, my God.
- I mean, that's the outfit, right?
- I said I wanted to meet the friend.
I didn't mean like this.
So has this girl, Ebone,
been impersonating her friend Kenya?
Like, I have to wrap my mind around this.
- Let's look her up.
Ebone has an Instagram.
- "Trust no one," she says in her bio.
- So you think Ebone has been using Kenya's pictures,
and just a friend of Ebone's...
- I don't know. - And she got her friend
to make the video message?
- I don't know.
I don't know anymore.
But why else would Kenya not FaceTime
unless it's really Ebone?
- These are a lot of good questions.
We now have this girl, Ebone.
Phone number goes back to her,
and Ebone is in a video with Kenya.
How and if the other girl,
who might be really Kenya, is involved, we don't know.
We don't know if she knows Ebone is using her pic
or if Ebone is doing this with her.
So who's been talking to Kash?
- Who knows? - We don't know.
- I feel like a scrambled egg.
Right now, we're working with two possible theories.
Theory number one is, Ebone is the one who is behind
the Instagram page, and Kenya has no idea about it.
- Theory two, Ebone maybe uses Kenya's real page,
and she does know about it?
- Right, and they're working together.
- And she's kind of in on it. - Or she just doesn't care.
She's like, yeah, sure, you can use it.
Either way, it's not looking good for Kash.
- Right.
[tense music]
* *
- Oh, my God.
This is not a good sign.
Hey. - What up?
What's up, yo?
You good?
Oh, man, I feel like, you gave me a hug--
you pitying me right now.
Like, man, I got some bad news for you.
- You seem a lot more somber today.
- Yeah, because, like, I mean, like,
I feel like we just getting straight to it right now.
Like, I don't feel too excited.
- So we found some stuff.
If you're ready, we can walk you through it.
- Yeah, I'm ready. - All right.
- Put me in the game, coach. - Let's go.
So first thing we did was we ran her photos.
We didn't get anything. Right?
At that point, we thought, OK,
let's take a really closer look at her Instagram.
When we started really looking at the comments--
- Have you looked at the comments?
- Not really.
- Most of the comments are, heart eyes,
"You look sexy," "You're beautiful."
Right? So, like, OK, that's nice.
But as we go through all of them,
it's pretty much always just people posting these--
you know, lots of emojis.
- You think this is a fake page?
- Well, you never really see
anybody hyping her up specifically.
So you see a lot of hype with the heart eyes
and the fire emojis and stuff like that.
But her name is never in the comments,
which is interesting.
- So next, we ran her phone number.
It came back to someone named Ebone [bleep].
Does that-- - I don't know who that is.
- But this is the number that you are texting
and calling all the time?
- Yeah.
- So she's never mentioned the name Ebone?
- Friend named Ebone?
- No.
- OK. So we didn't know exactly what this meant.
So then, since that phone number had come back
to this girl Ebone, we thought, let's run the phone number
that you have on Cash App.
So we went to Cash App. We typed that in.
It comes up to someone named Ebone [bleep] again.
It's hard to see her clearly, but she looked familiar.
So we searched Ebone [bleep] on Facebook.
And we went through, and right away, we saw, wait a second,
here's someone who lives in Atlanta.
And when we clicked on that page, it brought us to this.
Ebone [bleep], lives in Atlanta.
Could this be Kenya?
The phone number connects to this girl.
She lives in Atlanta.
She's the right age.
- [exhaling] Yo, boy.
- There's one more thing, though.
- We started looking at her page,
and look at one of the first things we saw.
We recognized the pink tracksuit.
We were shocked to see that Ebone is the girl
in the video Kenya sent you, her friend next to her.
It's the same girl, same outfit.
- Yeah.
- So that means they know each other.
Before we saw this video, we thought, OK,
some girl named Ebone came up with some fake shit,
made a page, and that's that.
And then we saw, wait, whoa, wait a second.
She knows Kenya. - But I don't know this girl,
though, from nowhere, so I don't know--
- Right, but the question now is,
are you talking to this girl?
Are you talking to her friend Kenya?
Are they--could you be talk--
could they both be kind of in on this?
- Could Ebone have asked Kenya, can I use your pictures?
- Yo, my brain right now is like--
[mimics explosion] I don't know what to say, bro.
Like, that is crazy.
- So then we went and found that she has an Instagram page.
- "Trust no one," she says-- ironic.
- Nothing in here about doing makeup...
- No. - Which is interesting.
So her and Kenya are friends.
Now, the real question is, is the Kenya profile
her actual friend's page, or did she make a page
of her friend, with or without her knowing,
that she uses to talk to guys?
Or does her friend let her use her Instagram?
Like, because that seemed almost weirder to me.
- Yeah, like, what type of friend is that?
- Right.
- Here's the thing, though.
There is still a possibility that you're talking to Kenya.
But if it is Kenya,
and that's who you've been talking to this entire time,
what else is she hiding?
Why she hasn't FaceTime'd with you?
- * Some nights, we just be going on cloud nine *
* We were just floating, I don't mind wasting time *
- Any way that you try to put it,
something is wrong; something is off.
- * What do I have to lose? *
- I just want to just, like, really just get down
to the bottom of it, for me at this point,
because this shit is not funny.
Like, it's not cool.
* *
- I mean, I think it's definitely Ebone.
Her and Kenya are friends.
Now, the real question is, did she make a page of her friend,
with or without her knowing, that she uses to talk to guys?
- Or there is still a possibility
that you're talking to Kenya.
Best-case scenario, it is the real Kenya,
but she's lying to you about something.
- Yeah, or-- - Worst-case scenario,
it's any of the other scenarios.
- So what we gonna do?
Like, could we try to call this Ebone girl?
- We can try calling the number you have for Kenya,
if that's what you want to do.
- Yeah.
- Let me give her a call.
[line trilling]
- Yes, hi. Is this Kenya?
[tense music]
- Hey, how you doing?
So this is Nev, the guy off "Catfish."
And we're actually filming an episode.
- I was hoping to get in touch with you
because we are with your friend Kash
and trying to help you guys finally
meet up for the first time.
- You're the person that's been talking to Kash, right?
- Oh, OK.
- Great.
- You live in Atlanta, is that right?
- OK, great.
So from what he's told us,
you guys have got a really strong bond.
He really cares about you.
You've obviously both wanted to meet up with each other,
but, you know, hasn't worked out.
So what's your position on the relationship?
- OK, so you--
- Right, you feel the same way he feels
about you guys really being together?
- OK.
And I imagine, if that's true,
then meeting up with him is something
you've probably thought about and hoped would happen?
- OK, complicated how?
- OK.
* *
- Well, we did some research.
We looked around a little bit.
And we're pretty confident,
although, you know, we've been wrong before,
that you are Ebone.
* *
- Well, whatever it is that you have going on,
he still very much would like to meet you.
Are you willing to meet up with us tomorrow?
- Is--OK.
Well, we're all in Los Angeles, so you could come here.
- OK, yeah, we can get you a flight.
I have to be honest.
I know that Kash tried booking you a flight,
and, you know, you didn't make it.
- You want to book your flight, or--
because we--I'm happy to do it.
- [softly] We know you're not gonna come.
- Right, I'm just trying to figure out, you know,
how we can know for sure
that you're actually gonna do that.
- OK, great.
Thank you.
Speak soon. Bye.
- I don't know what to think about that.
She wants to book her own flight information
so she doesn't have to send the name.
And then also, you can't come to Atlanta?
- That was another thing. Like, when she said that,
I'm like, man. [clicks tongue]
- I need tomorrow to hurry up
because I'm so curious.
- Hopefully she actually gets on a flight,
and we meet her tomorrow.
- [sighing] Yeah.
- All right, well, look, we're gonna get out of here.
- Appreciate y'all.
- [sighs] We've got you.
We'll see you tomorrow.
- See y'all tomorrow.
- Whew!
- [sighs]
Oh, boy. - He's sad.
- So if the pictures aren't real, that's one thing.
But if the feelings aren't real,
that's, like, a hundred times worse.
- Mm-hmm.
- So at this point, I'm honestly just hopeful
the only thing she's hiding
is that she's not the girl in the pictures.
- Right. But I'm worried that's not gonna be the case.
[line trills]
Good morning. - Good morning, sunshine.
- What's going on?
- Oh, just wanted to see what you were wearing
so we could coordinate.
- I'm still figuring that out.
- More importantly, I do have a text message from Kenya.
Straight to the point,
she says, "I land at 11:00.
Where should I meet Kash?"
I figure we can just meet at Kash's spot
and then find a place near there.
- So...
- I'll see you over there in a little bit.
- Bye-bye.
[thunder rumbles]
OK, it's 11:00.
Kenya should have landed by now.
Every single time we try to get closer to Kenya,
it starts pouring.
I just feel like this is a bad sign.
I'm gonna call Kash. [line trills]
- Hey, Kash.
We heard from Kenya this morning.
Apparently, she is on her way,
and she wants to know where to meet us.
So we were gonna come to your place and,
I guess, try to have her meet us there.
- All right, see you soon.
- Let's send Kenya Kash's address.
[tense music]
Wah-aah.
Ugh.
Oh, my God.
- Welcome.
- Oh, my God.
- [indistinct]. - Bruh.
We made it. - What's up?
- Good to see you. - Good to see y'all again.
- Oh, my gosh.
How are you feeling?
- Not too good, feel me? I don't feel too good about it.
- We texted her the address, but she hasn't responded.
- She ain't here, that's why.
- I mean, there is a very real chance she's not here.
- Should I text her again?
- I would be like, "Just checking in,
making sure you landed OK."
- "Just following up to make sure everything's all right."
- I don't know, bro.
I don't think she came, bro.
I don't think she came.
She's, like, a repeat liar.
Like, she like to lie and shit.
- Also, she did say
she was going to get on a plane once before.
- Yeah. That's what I'm saying.
She's not out here, bro.
- Should we try calling her?
- I guess. I mean, it doesn't hurt.
[line trills]
- Please leave your message for 4--
[knock on door]
- Whoa, who that?
- I don't know. - No, no, no.
We don't get knocks at the door.
- Well, I got to look.
- Nobody ever knocks on our door.
[suspenseful music]
* *
- Hello?
Kenya?
* *
Oh.
- I don't know, bro.
[tense music]
I don't feel good.
I don't think she came.
She's, like, a repeat liar.
* *
[knock on door]
Whoa, who that?
- No, no, no.
We don't get knocks at the door.
- Well, I got to look.
- Nobody ever knocks on our door.
* *
- Hello?
Kenya?
- Yeah.
- Come on in.
* *
This is Kenya.
- Hi. I'm Kamie.
Nice to meet you. - Hi. Nice to meet you.
- I'm so shook because we really didn't think
it was actually you.
- Which has kind of got us off guard a little.
- Well, this is Kash. - Right.
- Nice to meet you, finally.
- Hey.
- We're confused.
We thought Ebone was the one who we were talking to.
- Oh, no, no.
That's my friend. - OK.
- Ebone, that's just my childhood friend.
- Is this the voice that you've been hearing on the phone
for the past five months? - Yeah, this the voice--
this the person that I-- that's her face.
- Right. So how come when we looked up
your phone number it took us back to...
- Ebone? - Ebone?
- Me and Ebone have a shared plan.
Like, we are on the same family plan.
- All right.
- So what's going on? Like, why--
why I couldn't get you here?
What's up?
- I have a lot going on in Atlanta.
I mean, I just--
I care about you too much to, like,
hurt you any further than what I've already done.
I came out here to just basically come clean.
I'm single now, but the reason I haven't came to see you,
I was in a relationship with somebody else.
[somber music]
- Yo, come on.
What the fuck?
* *
That's crazy.
We've been talking for all these months.
You don't love me or the person you was with.
- I do love you.
- I don't believe that.
- I wouldn't have came here if I didn't.
I flew all the way from Atlanta to come up here to see you.
* *
- It is what it is, man.
- How long were you actually in a relationship?
- We got together around the time
me and Kash met on Instagram.
- OK, so when you met Kash,
you weren't really fully involved.
- No, we wasn't fully involved.
We were just beginning to get involved.
Yeah. - Got it.
- But, like, I been knew her.
- Her? - Oh, it's a girl?
- Who, the Ebone girl?
- No, that's my friend.
- Does your ex know about Kash?
- No.
- OK, so in terms of everything Kash knows about you--
- It's all true.
- The makeup page is your makeup page?
- Yeah, I'm a makeup artist.
- OK. - I haven't lied to Kash
about anything except for my relationship.
I haven't lied to him about anything.
- What happened with the New York trip
when he tried to fly you out?
He couldn't come to Atlanta
because obviously, you were seeing somebody.
But why couldn't you come to New York?
- Um, you know, it was my birthday, and my ex,
she was planning something for me.
- Why let me continue to plan shit
if you already know this? Like, I work hard for my money,
and I barely have time to waste.
So just like, how could you love somebody like that?
- If I didn't love you, I wouldn't have came out here.
I still want us to be together.
That's why I'm not with her.
Before I came out here, I just decided
that I needed to choose, and I choose Kash.
- Yeah, but like, who's to say that--
when you go back, who's to say that you're not
just gonna go right back to her?
- Because it didn't feel good.
It didn't feel good doing it, and so I'm done doing it.
I wasn't happy because I was lying.
And I'm trying to come clean.
- Look at all the shit you put me through.
Look at all the shit you putting yourself through
over something we could have just had a conversation about.
- We're having that conversation now.
- I understand we having it now,
but I just need some time.
I can't just jump because now you here.
We just gonna just start all over again.
Like, nice to meet you. Just start all over again
because, right now, I'm just meeting you.
- That's the only thing I lied about.
You know everything about me.
I know everything about you.
So don't do that-- like, act like this--
like we ain't-- like this is new.
Ain't nothing new. I lied.
I'm sorry. I apologize.
I don't want to start over. - Yeah, but I can't--
I can't move when you want me to move.
I got to move how I move.
I got to move at my own pace.
You get what I'm trying to tell you?
I can't move at your pace.
If we gonna be together, like,
seriously gonna be together, Kenya, we have to talk.
- And that's fine. We can talk about it.
I'm talking about the fact that you saying start all over.
I don't want to start over.
I don't want to do that. - What you want me to do then?
Like, what I'm supposed to do right now?
- I'm telling you, I apologize
and that I left her for you.
I came up here for you.
* *
- All right, look, let's take a quick break
so that Kamie and I can sort of check in with Kash.
Is that cool? - Yeah.
- We're just gonna step outside with Kash.
- We'll see you in a second.
Oh, my God, the rain.
- Here.
All right, so wait, so how you feeling?
- She who she is, but I don't want
to just jump and rush and just do nothing.
- Right. - She said, "You know me,"
and you've also been telling me lies,
so I really don't know you.
You can't just play with me, like, any which way.
- I want for you to be excited,
but I get why you're apprehensive--
- Why I'm not, yeah. - Because there have been lies.
- I completely agree.
It's not what you want to have
as the foundation of your relationship.
But you still have all the feelings.
She seems serious about having them for you.
So the real question then is,
where do you think you want to go from here?
- So the real question then is,
where do you think you want to go from here?
- Man, shit.
I don't know, bro.
I'm confused right now.
Like, I love her, feel me?
I'm not just gonna just not try to build something
with the person I have love for.
- Right. - I'm gonna give her a chance
to gain my trust, but it'll take time for me.
- All right, well, let's get in there so that you guys can
start spending that time together while we've got it.
- Yeah.
[soft dramatic music]
Hey.
- Hey.
* *
- I know that was a lot.
How are you feeling?
- Better now that I got it off my chest.
It was kind of a burden.
- No regrets about coming?
- No, no regrets.
This is my first time seeing you, and we are already--
I feel like we already connected.
I still want us to be together.
Over time, I feel like I can show you
that I'm not playing about you.
I'm serious about you, and I choose you.
I love you.
- I love you, too.
- Can we just move on?
- It's gonna take time.
I might need therapy after all of this shit.
[laughing] Like, for real.
I know that I love you, and I know that you make me feel good
when things are going good.
But if we gonna seriously be for real, like,
we got to go cut all of these cameras off
and sit down somewhere, and me and you have a conversation.
Like, that's where the building starts.
It's not gonna start right here.
- I mean, I definitely understand that.
Like, you gonna need your time.
And I'ma be here for you, you know?
I have nothing but patience.
I have nothing but time.
Take all the time you need to figure it out.
But I'm gonna be here for you. Just come back to me.
Don't leave me hanging.
- That's gonna be something that he's
gonna have to process.
But I mean, you're both here now.
You've got some stuff to figure out.
Is it possible that you could maybe hang out
for the first time?
Is this a good time?
- Yeah, you want to go out to eat or something?
- I would love that.
- All right, great. We'll get out of here
with all the cameras and let you guys start
your personal lives together.
- Without us. - Hell yeah.
[laughter]
I'm happy to see you.
- All right, we'll get out of your way.
- We've been kicked out
a lot this season. - Skedaddle.
- Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
It's a very short list.
[laughter]
I think Kash really just wanted for us to leave
so that he can simp as hard as he knows
that he's been wanting to this entire time.
- Right. - He's excited.
- I think there's a lot for him to process, but we'll see.
- I think there's a chance.
They just need time. - Yeah.
I mean, neither of them really trusted each other.
Now they can just be straight-up.
- * We'll be reaching new highs *
* *
- What's up, y'all? - Hey!
- Hey. How have you been?
- I've been good. - We're both very curious
to hear how things have or have not progressed
between you and Kenya.
- "Not" sounds more like it.
- Aw, really? - What?
- Yeah, really, man.
- Why? Well, when we left you,
we were like, go on a date.
Get to know each other. Like, how was that?
- We actually ended up going out to eat
right after you guys left the house.
And it just didn't go well.
Like, we just was arguing over petty shit.
And then I couldn't get out the back of my mind,
she been lying to me anyway this whole time.
So it's like--it just wasn't gonna work, bro.
- Damn. - So then are you dating now?
- 1,000%.
- [laughs] Anything serious,
or are you just kind of playing the field?
- The only love I got--this is my girlfriend right here.
- Aw. - Aww, she's cute.
- All right, Kash,
we'll "Kash" you later.
- That's good. - Oh, my God.
Love you, Kash. Good luck.
- I love y'all, man.
- Bye. - Bye, bud.
- Mwah!
both: Hey. - Hey.
- How's it going?
- It's good. It's cool.
- We just spoke to Kash, and he filled us in
a little bit on your situation.
- Yeah, things kind of went south.
- Were you fine that things ended?
- I mean, I did have a real deep connection with him.
But it's life.
People come and go.
- So what's your status now?
Did you get back with your girlfriend?
- No, me and her aren't talking either.
I'm just doing me.
You know, I'm out here single.
I want to be single for a while.
I don't plan on dating anybody anytime soon.
- That's fair. Live your best life.
- Yeah, I think it was time to "Kash" out
of that relationship. - Mm-hmm.
- [chuckles] - Good talking to you.
We wish you all the best.
- Nice talking to y'all, too.
- Bye, Kenya. - Bye.
- I added Alex on Suggested Friends.
We hit it off really quick.
So I decided to do a image search.
The first profile that popped up was a mug shot.
- Oh.
- Let's do a search for Alex.
[gasps] - Oh, my God.
- Why do this kind of stuff to people?
- Is anyone in here?
[dramatic music]
- Hello? Oh.
