Right now, Cheyenne has me blocked on social media,
her phone, any way I can get in contact with her.
But I'm determined to come to some type of resolution
with my daughter.
That's why I'm meeting up my lawyer today,

What up, brother?
- What's up, brother? How are you?

You feel me? - How long are we talking?
One to ten.
- We could put it as a 20.

Now she called Child Protective Services on me,

- What the (bleep) is this, bro?
- That's from Child Protective Services, bro.
That's Crystal, still with her bull(bleep), bro.
I don't even know what the (bleep)
to do right now, bro.
Like I need some type of defense against this situation.
- Let me first say that you're not the first
high-profile person this has happened to, okay?
What you cannot do is call the mother.
That's what you need to stay away from.
'Cause you gotta protect yourself.
- Is there any way legally I can find out
if my daughter's okay?
- Yes, you can send a third-party.
Are you concerned about her mental--
What? Is there something particular?
- For her to turn left like this,
I don't know if she's going through like a mental breakdown.
Like I really need to know
if she's mentally and physically okay.
I absolutely feel powerless against this (bleep).
But for it to go this far left,
I don't understand it.
- There's nothing that you can really do
besides being the father that you are,
but at the same time understanding
that the stakes are really high right now.
- (exhales)
I guess I'm just gonna have to let this play out
until I'm able to see my daughter again.
- That's the best way to do it, my brother.
But I got you.
- Thanks for everything, brother.
I'll talk to you later. - All right, thanks.

- Alex, you are the (bleep) man of this relationship.
Exercise some manly energy
and change the (bleep) that's going on.
- I just gotta figure out
how to handle the situation between me and Ink Daddy.
And at the same time, I'm gonna stay true to myself
and hopefully Krystal come back to me.
- So what's your plan?
- She ain't gonna believe me until it happens.
So I'm gonna talk to dude man, and (bleep) let him know
exactly how I feel about that (bleep), like, like--
- All right.
I love you, bro. We good, man.
- Appreciate it, man.
- I'll come whup your ass after I eat lunch.
(Ceaser) Yo, Tatti!
- Yo.
- What, you meditating and (bleep)?
- I'm just getting some fresh air.
- You all right?
- I mean, no, I'm not.
- You want to disrespect, Tatti. - (bleep).
No, I wanted the opportunity to show you
that I know what I'm doing.
I'm well aware that this position is not easy.
And you know, the only thing that keeps me going
is that I have bigger goals in mind.
Like I genuinely want to grow with this business.
- All right.
- Like I never came here like, oh, yeah,
I'm just gonna get bullied around
and have people constantly disrespect me and not move up.
- I think it's deeper than that.
You're gonna have problems like this.
You're gonna have to learn to balance your personal life
and business.
- Donna thinks, because we have some kind of
special relationship,
that she can manipulate me.
But it's never been that way.
My intention with you
is to eventually come to you and sit down,
"Ceaser, I found this location.
How do you feel about opening up another shop?"
Like that's all I want to do. - So that's the goal, right?
- That's my goal. - So why you worrying about the hurdles?
This environment that we're in is gonna--
there's gonna be a hundred Donnas.
If you want to really do this and say you want to own a shop,
I feel like this is your opportunity to shine.
Show me that you're really ready for this (bleep).
- I'm trying.
- All my years of running Black Ink,
Tatti might be the most ambitious employee I ever had.
I do see myself invested in her future,
opening up a Black Ink as long as she stay
on the path of progression and making herself better.
You're not like these other knuckleheads.
You're worrying about your family.
You want to-- you want to make business moves.
I see it, Tatti.
- I'm super impressed with Ceaser.
In the midst of him dealing with his own personal problems,
he still has taken the time out to just sit and talk with me.
- You gotta understand you're trying to get to a goal.
In growth, sometimes you gotta shed some things.
- Too many lines have been crossed.
- I ain't done yet. I know y'all, too.
Don't worry, Tatti. Y'all have that talk.
And y'all figure it out.
But y'all just hot right now.
You know how you females is.

\h\h\h\h\h\h- We on hold? - That’s what what means.

\h\h\hWhat does being on hold mean, Ceaser?
’Cause your ass \hwasn’t on hold
\hwhen you had all this extra (bleep) going on,
\h\hand had nobody to turn to, and I was the only one there.
\h\h\h\hI have done nothing but elevated this man life.
So if you gonna put me \h\h\h\h\hto the side
