so she deleted it.
So I'm here to sue her today for $720.
The wig install was $200. Her wig was $375.
Color was $120, plus her $25 deposit
that she reversed. - See, you lying already.
- No, see, we're not doing that, not today.
- OK, Ms. Williams.

all he said was, "Hey, Renee, I want to do
a free wig install. All I want is promo."

To me, she went above and beyond.
She posts you on all of her platforms.
It was a gamble on both ends.
Some of it takes off, and some of it don't.

You may now enter.
- Plaintiff Kiaya Walker
is suing her baby sister Kianna,
the family tax accountant,
for a $2,500 loan that was never paid back.
But defendant Kianna Session says
she knows her sis has a pile of cash
and doesn't need more in her stash.
Besides, Kianna did the taxes at a discount,
so count her out of owing anything at all.
[dramatic music]
- Y'all look so cute. Y'all look like some Starburst.
[laughter]
- I was thinking the same thing.
- And you are sisters. - Yes.
- With different daddies? - Yes.
- Oh, I could tell.
All right, Kiaya, you tell me why you're here today.
- I'm here to sue my baby sister for $2,500
that I let her borrow.
She agreed to pay the money back
once she got her income tax.
She's the family tax preparer, so she filed our taxes.
So when she found out that I was getting more than her,
she felt the need that she didn't need
to give me the money back.
- All right, Kianna. - Well, I'm Kianna.
I'm Kiaya's baby sister.
- Don't be trying to talk like a baby now.
[laughter]
- I'm the tax preparer for the family,
and she let me borrow $2,500,
and I said I was going to pay her back,
but I only charge her $100
to file her taxes each and every year.
If she go to somebody else,
they're going to charge her $600 to $1,000
to file her taxes.
The least she can do is just let me have the $2,500.
- Kiaya, I'm guessing you're older than your sister?
- Mm-hmm. - What's the difference?
- I'm 30. - And I'm 22.
- Did she go to school for this, or she just...
- Yeah.
- Google this and Instagram tax preparer?
- She say she went to school for it.
- I can tell you I went to school, too,
but I didn't, to be a judge.
They gave me a TV show.
- Talk to 'em. Talk to 'em.
Talk to me.
[laughter]
- Do you have proof of your transaction
when she said she will pay you back?
- Mm-hmm. I do.
- You didn't want to just beat her up and take it?
- I did.
But my mama told me not to. - OK.
- Good. That's good.
- OK, $2,500 withdrawal.
Have you ever loaned her money before?
- I have.
I loan her money all the time.
Certain amounts, she'll pay back.
But if it's, like, less than $100,
sometimes just let her keep it because at the end of the day,
that's my little sister.
- $2,500 is nothing to Kiaya.
- Oh. - How is nothing to me?
- She has a wife that takes care of her.
She have a car that she don't have to pay a car note on.
She doesn't need the money.
- But did you agree to pay her back?
- Yes.
- Why don't you get you a wife that gonna take care of you?
- Right.
- I don't understand why you don't feel like
you owe her no money, girlfriend?
- When my mama was on the phone with me,
she said, if you don't want to pay Kiaya back,
don't pay Kiaya back. - She did not say that.
You're lying. - Just answer the question.
Don't be bringing your mama into this.
Why didn't you pay her back?
- Kiaya got enough money.
- Wow.
- Do you have proof of the money
that you got back in taxes? - I do, Your Honor.

This is why you don't let the family know what you got.
I tell everybody I ain't got no money.
- Wow, OK. Got you a fine little return.
- I would not have asked her for the $2,500 back
if I would have got $5,000 and she would have got $900.
- Girl, yes, you would have.
- I would not have except for that--
- Stop lying. Yes, she would have.
- So you like to borrow people money
and don't pay them back? - Mm-hmm.

I'm the little sister.
OK, so as the little sister,
they are supposed to take care of me.

- So how did this make you feel?
- Like she don't love me... - Girl--
- Because-- - Jesus, look at this brat.
What's going on?
- So you said before that you loaned her money
that didn't get paid back.
What makes you think that she's going to pay you back now?
- Because she promised-- "I promise I'ma pay it back."
We get our taxes around the same time.
Like, she sold this dream
that she gonna give it back.
Every time we get on a group chat,
she on there showing, I bought this, I bought this,
I bought that. Girl, where my money at?

$500 off the rip minimum.

He said, "Bro, you're my brother.
I known you for 10-plus years."
I said, "All right, say no more.
I'ma look out for you." - So how much did you pay?
- I paid him $200 for the actual shooting of the video,
but I paid $500 in total for everything that came
with the video--for location, travel for my clients
to get here, and food and everything.
- So who is your client? Snoopy?
[laughter]
- Did you give him the video?
- No, Your Honor, I did not
give him the music video. - Why?
- After I did the music video-- shot the music video,
I'm in the process of editing the video.
Mind you, it's not a short process.
He's rushing me.
Oh, my clients need this, and my clients need that.
Can you do a rollout for the video?
Can you do all this X, Y, Z?
And I'm like, "Bruh, that's not in the $500."
So, long story short,
I said, "Bruh, I'm not giving this [bleep] shit."
- Let me get this right.
You want this man to shoot a video,
edit the video, and then do a rollout to the video?
- But I didn't ask him to do the rollout.
He quoted the rollout. - He lied so much.
Your Honor, he don't even know what he said.
- I know exactly what I said.
- How in the hell did you guys even know each other?
- We met in music. He's an artist.
I was an artist.
We've been friends for, like, 12 years.
He was the best man at my wedding.
So we know each other pretty well.

- Did you bring the video for evidence today?

- Damn.
That look like it was gonna be a pretty good video.
- Yeah, almost doesn't count. - High-quality.
- So, Tre Prada, why didn't you just give him the video?
- After the long set time, after the nagging...
- You thought about it.
- After play-- I felt disrespected.
At the end of the day,
like, you treat me like I'm just any old body,
like, we ain't been friends for so long.
