- When you down and out,
"Oh Baby Mama Erica, where you at?
I need you, I need you, I need you."
As soon as you come back down to ground zero,
realization, then it's,
"You know what, I'm sorry."
(upbeat hip hop music)
Gimme kiss.
She was like, "I'll talk to you later.
That's what you gonna do.
For real, son? You ain't gonna gimme kiss?"
- What happened? What happened?
- ****, it just got real.
I said exactly what you just said.
- [Stevie] You know what you're up against?
- I just thought he was some random dude
just talking and saying stuff
until Mimi of course let me know
that that was her baby's daddy.
So it all came together then,
while he was doing all the extra.com.
- Boo, don't do it. - I'm not your boo.
- Do you know what you're up against though?
- Don't do it. - Do you know
what you're up against?
- Baby, you don't intimidate me.
I'm sorry. You all bark no bite.
So I'm not going to even entertain you.
- I'm asking you.
You're definitely not no bite, nothing,
you know what I'm saying? - Sweetie, you talkin',
you talkin'
- You're not that ***** though.
- I don't even know you.
You ain't that (beep).
- I'm that (beep) *****.
- [Erica] Okay. In your world.
In your small world, sweetie.
- [Stevie] Nah I'm gonna leave you alone tonight.
(beep) disrespectful **** monkeys.
- He definitely don't want to go there. Really.
- Was he for real?
- Evidently.
- No, I'm saying-
- He wants to call me a ***** and go off
and little does he know, I'm the only *****.
I'm like, number one, the only one.
You see me?
- There is just too much going on for me tonight.
- That's why I'm like, "Dude, just..."
You saw what I did. "Just go."
- Mimi, you gotta stop
Mimi, when are you going to get it? I don't understand.
Like, when is enough gonna be enough?
- All the time with some dumb *** (beep).
Shut the (beep) up.
(upbeat hip hop music)
- When Scrappy asked to meet up,
I really just thought we was gonna have a conversation.
Like when he wants to talk, everything comes out.
Even the stuff from five years ago comes back out.
So I figured it was gonna be one
of those kind of conversations.
- Remember I told you, I was like,
"I'm a grown man, I tell you what I want, what I need,
You tell me what you want, what what you need."
And we try to work on it, but I don't even want to do that.
Not coming to see me in the hospital,
not seeing me to the hospital,
I was already looking for her to show me more,
and that's showing you.
- Your mother says I abandoned you,
I've always been there for you.
- At the end of the day, that's what was happening.
I'm sitting there, tears coming out my eyes there,
and I can't breathe, and I'm like, "Wow",
like "The only person-"
- What tears was coming outta your eyes?
- And you the only one that didn't see 'em.
- This is nothing new to me, you know,
he's asthmatic, he has asthma attacks.
I get ready and I go to work and he's mad at me,
and I'm still confused as to why,
because I still have to make my money
to take care of my daughter,
and I'm not gonna start babysitting Scrappy
because he got wasted the night before.
- I can't say that you a bad person.
I think you got love in your heart,
but you don't have that emotion with you.
You have some emotion
which you feel like you should care for.
- No, Okay,
So you're using that as justification?
- When you be real with yourself and you
own up to your feelings- - I am being real,
I am being real with myself. - And what you go through,
and what you have been through,
and understand that you're detached from your feelings-
- What I want you to under-
I'm not detached. - You are detached
from your feelings. - I'm not detached.
- [Scrappy] That's why I ain't gonna do that.
- So why you been coming back?
If I'm so detached, 10 years on and off,
why you keep coming back? - I've been hoping
that it would work one day,
- Hoping that you come too- - It doesn't make sense.
- And that's
what I'm not gonna do. - It doesn't make sense.
- That's why I don't wanna sit here-
- So that's what you not gonna do?
For how long- - I don't wanna sit here
and wait my whole life for you to get-
- You don't have to your whole life.
- Attached to your emotions.
- You just need something,
and if that's what you want to use,
then that's just cool, 'cause that just goes to show
what type of person you really are.
- What type of person I am? - It just reveals-
Yes.
When you down and out,
"Oh Baby Mama Erica, where you at?
I need you, I need you, I need you."
As soon as you come back down to ground zero,
realization, then it's,
"You know what? I'm sorry."
- Wait, wait, let me go back. I remember when-
You remember when I was saying I was trying
to get you to be my girl, not just my baby mama,
not just a friend that let me in when all hell go to-.
- But look at all the (beep) you put me through.
- Hold on, hold on, hold on. Calm down.
- No! You don't tell me to (beep) calm down,
I say the (beep) I wanna say, how I wanna say it.
And I'm heated right now,
so I'm gonna say it how I wanna say it.
I go to work every day and not because I want to,
because I need to,
but then he goes out and blows all his money at the club.
I want things to work out between us,
but Scrappy needs to step up and be a man.
- For me, not to even disrespect you or nothing like that,
I'm done with the conversation.
- I don't care at this point, Scrappy, I don't care.
- I'm done with the conversation.
- I don't care. I don't care.
You sitting thinking right here-
- It's what I imagined. It's what I imagined.
It's done. - What's done?
- It's done. The conversation and everything is done.
- That shows you weak, you can't deal with it.
- You bad. You having a bad day.
- Wow. I'm good, I'm good.
- I'm good. - Keep walking.
- I'm done. - Keep walking.
(upbeat hip hop music) (knocking on door)
- Woe is me! Wow!
What's up girl?
I fixed my new place up, it's looking good,
and so I called Erica to have a chat with her
about how Scrappy feels about her,
how she feels about my son and where this is really going.
I called you over here because Scrappy is used to the love,
overbearing mother-
- I know.
- Nothing against you,
but he's saying he's missing that in the relationship.
I'm coming to you as a woman, a black woman,
now if you want him,
I suggest you show him more little love,
a little more comfort because that's what he's expecting.
- I do show him love.
What do you call taking him back
after Diamond kicked him to the curb?
Momma Dee is so into sheltering Scrappy
that she can't see me showing him love.
You step-outta line as a momma.
- You don't know nothing about that.
- What you mean I don't know nothing about that?
- Because of your past, your momma never raised you,
who were raised by a aunt!
- So what?
That was still my momma, what that got to do with anything?
- Because you don't know!
You don't know about
the realization about a mother and her child.
- Yes I do, I still had a mother figure, you don't know her!
- But she put drugs in front of you!
I would never do that!
- My momma didn't do none of that!
You don't know nothing about what I been through.
I'm promise you you don't. - See,
it's all still about your momma.
- You think it reflect on yourself.
I guess she forgets what she comes from.
She was a pimp.
I'm in a relationship with Scrappy,
that means me and Scrappy,
so Momma Dee needs to mind her own business.
Do you want him to be like you?
You 48 and you are alone.
- No, don't want him to be alone.
- So you wanna see both your kids happy,
regardless of who they with?
- Yes, but I gotta tell you,
you're the exception to the rule.
(Erica laughs)
Oh my God. I'm having a visual.
When he broke up with Diamond,
do you know the mother(beep)
let the ***** back in after Soulja Boy?
For a month.
Talking about, "If I'm happy mama, you should be happy."
I couldn't
- But you just said-
- I couldn't. I couldn't.
I went against it.
The queen went against it.
I'm on the throne and I'm not giving up my seat
until I know that it can be done right.
- Momma Dee can be crazy when it comes to her son.
It makes things difficult for me,
but it's hard not to feel sorry for her sometimes.
You took your medicine today?
- No, I haven't had it in five days.
- Okay. All right.
- But I do know this,
whatever's going on between you and Scrappy, try to fix it.
- After Stevie J introduces himself very rudely
and calls me a *****,
Scrappy decides to meet up with him
and he's gonna check him about disrespecting me.
I heard through the grapevine
that that little fella is at the studio tonight
and I can't wait to see what happens.
(lively hip hop music)
Oh yeah, that's him right now.
It's me, the *****.
- Wow.
- What's up ma, how you doing?
- What's up? - I ain't done anything gravy.
I've been looking for you. I wanted to have a word with you.
(beep) was crazy (beep).
It was a little, you know, outta order,
I was drinking and all that.
You know what I'm saying?
If I called you a *****, I want to apologize to you.
- Did you know this was my baby mama?
'Cause I don't know you. I don't know you.
Only time I ever heard of you was
the "VH1 Behind The Scenes" with Eve,
you feel me? - Okay. Okay.
- I heard, you feel me,
you got real disrespectful with baby mama.
At the end of the day, like my (beep), like I don't...
I mean, I see you a grown man, you feel me,
you know how to handle your business,
so at the end of the day,
like I take this (beep) to disrespect, you feel me?
I take it- - Right-
- Hold on, hold on.
I take it to disrespect, just cause you got a baby mama,
you feel me? - I got a few of them,
I got like five of them.
- Five of.
You feel me, I got a daughter, you know what I'm saying,
Who I'd never let her a (beep) talk to her like that,
you feel me?
Never, never. - I respect that.
- I feel real disrespected.
I know she didn't even know him enough
for him even to come out his tongue like that.
You disrespect your own ****, you feel me,
but don't disrespect nobody else 'cause that get you hurt.
If I cuss your (beep) out right now,
if I cuss your (beep) out- - Wait a minute-
- What's the (indistinct).
- No I'm just saying, if I cuss your (beep) out,
you feel me, and say "(beep)", you feel me-
- If you say that ****, I'm gonna say yours is a (beep).
- Wait a minute, lemme say something baby,
lemme say, lemme just say-
- If I, you know? - Lemme say something baby.
Didn't y'all (beep)?
Before you knew him, before anything, so what's the problem?
- Whoa, I didn't even see this coming,
Joseline saying I'm (beep) Erica?
I don't even know this girl!
It's got me bugged up!
- I didn't know what was going on,
but I think I heard about this chick getting with Stevie.
Now her man is coming to check Stevie
and calling me a *****?
Hold up, what's going on?
- Who are you? - I'm Joseline Hernandez baby.
- Who are you? Who?
- [Stevie] You don't know Joseline Hernandez?
- Oh, irrelevant.
Hello, hello, hello, hello Joseline Hernandez?
(indistinct)
- Who is she?
Who are you?
You doing all this hooping and hollering
getting them (beep) out your mouth
and listen, I don't have anything to do with Stevie J,
I don't even know him.
- Who are you? You are nobody.
- Didn't y'all (beep)? Didn't y'all (beep)?
- No, why, why, why, why?
Why? - What you say?
- Why? What are you trying to get at?
What are you trying to get at?
No we didn't (beep) *****.
This ***** is all up in my grill
questioning me about whether or not I slept with Stevie J.
Next thing I know, all hell breaks loose.
- Let me go! Let me go! - Get off of me!
- [Scrappy] Let me go!
- Get off me, raggedy-ass (beep).
- [Scrappy] Let me go. Let me go.
Let me go!
(indistinct)
- Let me go. Let me go.
Let me go.
- [Scrappy] We can't go any longer with this (beep).
- I wanna make sure sure my (beep) is straight.
- [Erica] Let me go!
- We good?
- Let me go, I'm cool, I'm cool, I'm cool.
(indistinct) (lively hip hop music)
Y'all did not just let him jump on Scrappy!
- Stop dragging me, why is y'all dragging me, dog?
You know what I'm saying?
(indistinct)
- No (beep)!
(lively hip hop music continues)
- Going back to your story,
I just needed to lighten up the moment really quickly,
we saw you go back and forth,
you pretty much expressed the shade before she left
that you were sorry for the way that you had treated her
and that you definitely do wanna be with Erica, you said?
- Yeah. - All right.
Anything you wanna say to Erica right now?
- Definitely.
Well basically, you know, like you done been there with me,
you know what I'm saying,
like I done been there
with all my teeth knocked out my mouth
and there ain't nobody called me,
nobody gimme no bread or nothing.
You was in there, you know what I'm saying,
when I was in all them dentist appointments,
had to get my face reconstructed, you feel me,
all that, like you was right there.
The other little situation happened with old girl,
you was right there again.
I'm talking about, I called crying like a baby,
and you still, you ain't laugh, you aint do nothing, so-
- You know I wanted to.
I did. - Yeah, I know you did.
But I respect you listening to me and I love you so much,
so I'm gonna prove to you
that I am gonna be the man that you want to be with.
You cool with that, Momma? (audience applaud)
- I am the queen.
I will be sitting on my throne until that point in time
in which you come to me
and say that you want to take her hand
and I'll be watching, hovering over.
- And waiting. (audience laugh)
- Well look, Ma, you ain't gotta hover too long.
(audience cheer and applaud)
(audience continue to cheer and applaud)
- Are you serious?
- You don't have no more worries
outta Scrappy messing with nobody else.
I'm done, I wanna be a man,
I wanna be a man, I want have my family back.
You feel what I'm saying?
If it don't work, it's cool, but is you gonna marry (beep)?
- Yes, yes. (audience cheer and applaud)
- Wow!
Momma Dee, Momma Dee!
(audience continue to cheer and applaud)
All right, there is love in "Love & Hip Hop".
Coming up, more from the "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" reunion.
(audience cheer and applaud) (upbeat hip hop music)
