So Donovan, why are we here?
- Obviously, you know I'm dating you know, Nami
and we faded as friends and I just wanna like talk to you.
Like see how you feel about me and Nami.
- Yeah, we definitely have faded a little
but I feel like that's a time thing.
Like we're all at different stages of our lives.
I had to be more of an adult and so I don't know,
we haven't really been hanging out like that so yeah.
- So like why did you and Nami break up?
What happened between you guys?
- I don't know.
Maybe it was like a wrong time kind of thing.
We just kinda fell out of love or something like that.
- Yeah.
- Why did you go for my ex-girlfriend?
- It wasn't like I was trying
to steal her from you or anything.
When you guys broke up,
our friend group just like kinda disbanded.
- I mean it's kinda hard.
- Yeah like-
- It's not like I'm gonna be in a friend group
with my ex-girlfriend, you know?
- Yeah, yeah, I know, but this is like
I didn't really have anybody like to go to or anything.
One day I just hit her up.
I was trying to like find people to call
'cause I felt like I was alone for a long time.
- You could have came and hollered at me you know?
You could have been like, "I've been talking to Nicole,"
this and that like.
- Yeah.
- Why didn't you reach out to me?
- I was just scared, you know?
'Cause I would never really like talk like this.
- Yeah.
- Heart to heart.
I feel like you're gonna sock the shit out me, you know?
- Yeah.
- [Interviewer] Did you ever feel like socking him?
- Mm, I mean, that's just my nature.
I feel like I have that urge a lot.
I mean for Donovan it's more like I wanna punch him
because I want him to realize what he's doing.
Because a lot of the time he acts before he thinks.
He's more of a-
- I think with my heart not my brain.
- Yeah, he thinks with his heart not his brain.
- [Interviewer] Do you not think maybe he thought
with his penis instead of his brain?
(Donovan laughing)
- I mean, he do do that sometimes.
- Sometimes.
- Sometimes but at the end of the day
I don't really care that she was single.
I just wish that, you know
we could have had like a talk like this, you know?
- Yeah. - And just-
- [Interviewer] So, did it cost you two your friendship?
- You know, it kinda felt like it kinda ended.
'Cause I felt like you had that tension with me.
- It's just like I was a little hurt.
'Cause if I were to go talk to one of your ex's,
I would tell you, I'd be like,
"Oh I'm gonna go holler at this girl,
this girl and this girl," you know?
- I know that's my fault, I should have told you.
- If you're happy and if she's happy,
then I can't really say nothing about it.
- Do you feel weird that we slept with the same person?
- No, because I feel like it was bound to happen eventually.
- You know, we've always talked about this.
- Yeah, we always have talked about
like a little Eiffel tower.
We've always talked about the dream.
(both laughing)
- [Interviewer] Was that a proposition?
(Donovan chuckling)
- Fuck no.
- Yeah, she probably kill both of us.
- Honestly, yeah.
- Yeah well.
- Do you have any advice for me dating?
- Just be there, be present.
She loves quality time.
Just spend time with her.
Just take care of who she is as a person
'cause she's not gonna change for anyone.
- Still trying to be homies again?
- I mean yeah, we're always gonna be homies.
And at the end of the day, this is still my brother.
Like I still love him to death.

Making more of an effort than-
