02x04 - The Queen B

[bunniefuu]

[mellow music playing]

[Bonang] Today we are
at, uh, Hartbeespoort Dam

in the North West Province,
my home province.

[exciting music playing]

I invited Annie out on my boat,

you know, just a day out in the sun.

-Hello!
-Hello.

[Annie] I love Bonang, and of course
today I'm meeting up with her,

'cause she says she has so much
she wants to share with me.

-I was saying to my mom the other day…
-Yeah.

"…I just want to have
my quiet time with Annie."

[mellow music playing]

Today is important
because you obviously do want to cultivate

different kinds of connections
with people,

and just to break away from the group,

and to understand
the dynamics of the group.

I might actually get to the bottom

of what is the root cause
of this huge debacle

between Swanky and Annie.

I'm very concerned

that you and Swanky aren't speaking,
and I want all of us, I said this to him,

-in the same area getting along.
-Yeah.

[Annie] Since I got back here
to Johannesburg, all my friends,

everybody was going on, "You and Swanky."

Do you think you guys will be okay?

Um, hopefully.

Some people are trying to like,
"Oh, please, you guys, make up."

But you can tell they're fueling it.

They're putting more fuel,
trying to burn the entire house down.

But… I just thought,

this one is quite mature,

she's not going to be bias.

-I don't know, are you ready to hear this?
-Yeah.

I haven't spoken to anyone about it.

I don't think he has either.

But what he did,
I don't know, it really broke my heart.

-Okay.
-It's not what he--

It's not something he said.

-It's something that he did?
-He did.

-Swanky betrayed me.
-[ominous music playing]

I had a plan about something.

I called him over.
I invited him over to my house.

We stayed up all night talking about it.

I'm like, "Let's invite
some of our friends from here."

It was just gonna be a good time

-to celebrate everybody, our success.
-Okay. Mm-hmm.

You know, "Get the whole clique,
let's do this, Swanky."

-"Let's host them in Lagos."
-Mm-hmm.

Swanky is like, "Um…"

And I say no lies.

Swanky said to me,

"I don't think we should do this, Annie."

"This is not the best time
for this celebration."

Then on Thursday night,
March 17th… [laughs]

-Yeah.
-I'm seeing pictures of Swanky

with Zari.

[Bonang] The All-Black dinner party?

-That party?
-Thursday night.

-[Bonang] In Lagos?
-In Lagos.

[Bonang] And he didn't extend
an invitation to you?

What?!

[in Pidgin] I don't know
how Swanky sleeps at night to do this.

Everything I told him,

everything I told him I want to do…

[in English] Swanky went ahead, he did it.

But what is the reason?

From speaking and communicating
to not including you,

there has to be something that happened.

For Annie not to be at the party
or invited by Swanky, it means…

[in Setswana] …something's happened here.

[in English] Still, she's not telling me.

So, it goes deeper than what everybody
is sharing at the moment.

What hurts the most is
at that Diamond's party.

Before you came,
we were all on the dining table.

-Yes, and--
-And this guy walks in,

he hugged everybody around.

I was sitting at the end.

Except you?

He just turned like I wasn't there.

Many people were walking around us
without seeing us at that party.

Maybe you and I were invisible.

[both laughing]

[exciting hip-hop music playing]

-[Nadia] How pretty is this place?
-[Swanky] It's so pretty.

-I love it.
-[Nadia] It's gorgeous, right?

Why would Nadia call me here?

-[in sing-song] Hi!
-Hi.

[Nadia] I decided to invite Khanyi,
Kayleigh and Swanky

to this new amazing restaurant
that hasn't even opened yet.

-Oh, I'm sorry, this is like--
-Look who's behind you!

-Here's my plus one?
-Hi. How are you?

Kind of like update everybody
and kind of get like a pulse check

on who needs to be updated on the tea.

-Yes, so how was Fantana's event?
-No.

I'm just happy that Zari and Annie
were actually speaking.

-Oh, nice.
-But did they speak?

[amusing music playing]

[Khanyi] Look, I hope my girls

have really taken the step
to get to know each other,

because I feel like Zari and Annie
could actually be better friends

than what Annie and I are.

Hmm.

-[smooth hip-hop music playing]
-♪ Always lookin' like a snack ♪

♪ And my bestie always got my back… ♪

[Zari] Bonang sent an invite to me
to go somewhere nice,

and maybe get to know each other
a little bit.

To my surprise, guess who?

-Ooh, look at you!
-And speaking of the devil.

[Annie] Honestly,
I'm shocked to see Zari here.

I wish Bonang had given me a heads-up.

Last year, nothing in the world
would make me be

in the same space with this girl.

Like, this… Like, well, it's a good thing.

We're mature women.

But let's see.

[pleasant music playing]

-Whoo-hoo!
-There we go!

-[Bonang] What are we cheering to?
-[Zari] To new friendships.

I love that.

-Putting the past to the past.
-I love that.

Are you gonna have some?

-Not for now. I'm cold.
-[Bonang] You're fine.

Are you pregnant?

[all laughing]

-[Bonang] I hope not.
-No!

[in Pidgin] I don't want to drink,
'cause I want to see Zari like this.

[in English] I don't trust Zari
not to pull something.

[in Pidgin] I don't want
to take a little champagne,

then she'll say
something that gets me upset. No!

No drinking.
Didn't you say I'm pregnant? Okay.

[in English] you know I'm very concerned
that Annie and Swanky are not telling.

-We need to get along.
-To talk.

That's why I want you and Swanky
to get along so much.

[Zari] Yeah. How's that going?

I'll see him soon, so I can just--

-[Zari] You need to talk.
-So I know if--

Have you texted him, has he texted you?

-[Zari] Are you even texting?
-No.

He only sent me a voice note.

Oh, saying what?

I reached out to her because,

-obviously, everyone saw the news online.
-[Khanyi] Of course.

Because I'm very, very
relationship oriented,

I know exactly
what everyone in my life needs

at every point in time,

like as my friend.

So, if I know you're going
through something, I'm gonna be there

the whole time, until it's done.

I can't go about my normal life
acting like all is good

when I know that this might be happening
right now to my friend.

-We don't have to be friends.
-[Nadia] Yeah.

[Swanky] But we could be civil
and go on about our business.

Like, now, like, you know,
and I wanna know if you're fine.

Whether it's true or not,
I don't mind, I don't care,

but if you're fine,
then it's good, you know.

[Kayleigh] She's not okay.

-[Swanky] She didn't respond.
-Something is not right.

Till now?

No, she didn't.

-[Nadia] Till now?
-Why?

No, she didn't.

The voice note disappointed me the most.

The voice sounded like,
"I'm surprised you're not talking to me."

-[tense music playing]
-Listen.

[Swanky] Hey, Annie.

I'm reaching out to you because…

But I definitely, definitely need
to see you and we need to talk.

Ooh.

But that cry is fake, I know my guy.

That kind of voice note
cannot be from someone…

[in Pidgin] …who, with so much confidence…

[in English] …embarrassed not just me,
but 2Baba's wife, in front of people.

They are two different things,
it doesn't add up.

That didn't come from Swanky, inside.
He's my friend, and I know better.

Why would he send
you a voice note shaking?

Yeah, like he was sounding confused,
like, "I don't know, what--", like, yeah.

Like he's trying to break down.

Deep down in my heart, I just--

First of all, like, oh my God, okay.

[in Sotho] Right?

[in English] Number one. But…

I don't know.

I don't know
whether he sounds fake or not,

whether he sounds sincere or not.

I don't know.

But what happened?
Let me just ask, Annie, what happened?

What exactly happened?

[in Pidgin] Don't know.
Isn't he your friend? Ask him.

-[in English] Have you asked Swanky?
-I have.

Apparently Swanky says
he introduced Annie to Johannesburg crowd,

now Annie is feeling brand new.

-[Bonang] Oh?
-[laughing]

Brand new?

[in Pidgin] I am finished. This is huge.

[in English] Swanky, I'm acting brand new?

How?

You know how you just feel cheated
in a relationship?

-Like betrayed?
-[Swanky] You feel like you've wasted--

-[Nadia] It was wild.
-Yeah, like you wasted your time,

your money, you wasted your…

-It's hard to believe that it was Annie.
-…love, everything, you know?

You know what I've realized about Annie,

is I've been attaching myself to Annie
because of Swanky,

but Annie's not my friend.

[dramatic note plays]

I need to stop being friends
with people that are not my friend.

When we all had a "common" enemy,

it was fine,

but now when the common enemy is Swanky,
who is not a common enemy,

is an enemy to you alone,
she no longer feels that she needs us.

[Khanyi] But I kind of feel the same way.

I feel like I'm going
through a break-up with Annie.

Like, I was Annie's voice in the group
for a very long time…

-Mm.
-…when Zari fought with her, when--

I felt like I took on her problems.

-[Swanky] Mm.
-And now I feel like

she's showing me a zap sign.

And I'm fighting for someone
who's not fighting for me,

and my glass is almost empty.

So for the first time, Annie,

you can scream at me
and actually chop my head off.

Actually, I'm cool,
'cause you don't care about anyone.

[Swanky] Mm.

[Khanyi] Yes, I am upset with Annie,
and just her behaviour is rubbish,

'cause I just feel
like Annie is friends with Annie,

and we're just the audience

that from time to time
just throw in our comments.

I agree with you,

but you shouldn't have
called her out like that,

and said, "f*ck you" to her
in front of everybody.

[disagrees]

[Kayleigh] I don't know if this friendship
between her and Annie

is really as genuine
as they're trying to make it seem.

[in Afrikaans] Wait.

[in English] Also, no, listen,
because you shouldn't have scooped her.

No, no, I will scoop. You know why?

No one was talking,
so someone had to heckle.

Mm.

I can say, "f*ck you" to you as a friend.
You shouldn't carry it home.

"f*ck you" ends here,
you say, "f*ck you" back,

-and it's finished.
-Say, "f*ck you" to me, face to face?

-I say it to everyone.
-Don't do it in front of everyone.

We're friends, it's not everyone.
This is family.

You don't say it to friends.

[in Zulu] You're being silly.

[in English] That's my opinion.
You shouldn't have done that.

She actually said, "f*ck you."
Yeah, she did.

You don't call your friends out like that

in a group.

That was wrong.
You don't do that to your friends.

-But I told her--
-But I need to tell you something,

Khanyi is gonna shed her skin 20 times,
but she's gonna remain a snake.

[dramatic sting]

-Right.
-She's a snake, I'll tell you this.

I'm a little bit careful with her.

What?!

How did we get here? When did we get here?

I think there's a lot more
going on here I don't know about.

She likes this thing, "Oh, we are queens,
we have each other's back."

When I was getting attacked,

if really Khanyi was my friend,

why didn't she come through
to say, "Annie, look,

you have differences with Zari,
but this is what's gonna happen."

No, she just sat there,

-watched everybody go after me.
-Wow!

[Zari] Khanyi is a snitch,

and she's so careful
how she plays the game.

You won't know what she's saying.

When she sits with you, it's nice.
You kind of feel like she's got my back.

When she sits with somebody else,
she's got their back.

Khanyi can't be trusted.

[mellow music playing]

[2Baba] Annie has not been happy
with her friends lately.

They are constantly asking her
about stuff.

No matter how she answers,
they still keep asking her

as if they know the answer,

or think she's lying, or…

And that is… That is…
That gets very stressful.

[Annie] Give me a break.
Give my marriage a break.

We're dealing with serious life issues.

I don't even know who my friend
is anymore in the group.

[laughs]

-Father Andile.
-[Andile] Look at this! Huh?

[Andile] I'm a big fan of the Idibias,

and the last time we had
a conversation around a table and food

was at their wedding.

So, I wanna see
where the marriage bliss has taken them,

and also, just to catch up with them.

Oh, yes, baby,
Andile and I have become very close,

he's like my big brother.

Who's the big-- You're the big sister.
I'm not the big brother.

-You're older than me.
-Yeah, but you're wiser than me.

-[laughs]
-[exciting music playing]

[Nadia] I wasn't sure
if I wanted to be at this dinner,

'cause friendships with Annie
are one-sided.

Every time I've engaged Annie,

we haven't really
been speaking about real things.

So, I'm just like, "What are we
gonna be talking about tonight?" Honestly.

-[in sing-song] Hi! You look so cozy here.
-[exclaims]

-[Nadia] Hi, hello. How are you?
-[Annie] Hey!

The level of trust that she has
with myself and Khanyi

has completely depleted.

-[2Baba] Oh!
-[Nadia] Hey, let's go.

-Oh! Kayleigh.
-[Kayleigh] How are you?

[Kayleigh] What Annie is currently
going through isn't a joke.

Having rumours about your man
sleeping with other women,

it's not something to be taken lightly,
especially not coming from your friends.

If they've invited us out, it means
they're in a great space, all is well.

[Kayleigh] Khanyi, Swanky and Nadia
need to be more understanding,

and they need to think about
what is really happening

in Annie's life right now.

Yeah, everyone doesn't understand
your accents, guys.

You have to give us, like,
Nigerian, Pidgin, English lite.

But maybe they don't understand
our accents either.

-[Nadia] No, I know.
-I do.

[Kayleigh] Oh, you do?

Annie-- Annie, sometimes I look at you,
and I'm like, "Yeah. Yeah. I get you."

-[laughing]
-But I have no clue what you just said.

I speak English and I can
kinda, like, speak Afrikaans.

I'm-- I'm really bad,
but I think I need to learn Pidgin.

Like for Innocent, most of his songs…

[in Pidgin] Most of them you speak Pidgin.

[in English] "Target You"
is my favourite song.

-[Annie] Is there no Pidgin English?
-There is.

Because he says,
"I don't wanna be unfaithful or vet."

-I have no idea what "vet" is.
-Pervert.

Oh!

Like just-- Like just harassing you
all the time, sending you--

So, it's "pervert"?

Sending you d*ck pics, sending you…
I don't wanna be a faithful pervert.

"Target You" is my favourite 2Baba song,
and my favourite line says, um,

"The way I target you,
I want this loving to be trending too."

-[gentle music playing]
-I think this song speaks about…

the truest of love-form
that we don't see between him and Annie,

that most don't get to see.

You're the picture
of perfect imperfection.

I look at you guys and I think to myself,
"You know, I-- I want that."

You know, I-- I want
somebody to-- to get old with.

Why don't you go back
to one of your baby mamas?

[laughs]

[2Baba] There's this comedy stuff
that I watched

where the guy came
and spoke to the lady, and she said,

"I'm glad you've come
with a direct approach."

"What are you looking at?"

The man said, "I want three kids."
She said, "No, two kids."

It's settled.

So they just negotiated.
It was like a business negotiation.

So, for me, the way I look at marriage,

and the way I look
at relationships and all now is,

just say what you want.

-[Nadia] Yeah.
-[Andile] I'm different.

I just want to f*ck!

-Just say it.
-Baby, you're cursing.

[ominous music playing]

[Nadia] It got a little awkward.

I honestly don't understand
how we got here…

[laughs] …with 2Face.

I'm only going to make love to who I love.

But I can-- I can f*ck
when my man nature asks me to f*ck.

-[Andile] That goes both ways.
-Hold on, sorry, wait.

-You're saying you can--
-He's not saying now.

Are you saying this specifically to you?

[dramatic sting]

Why is Innocent speaking?
What is he doing? Oh, my gosh.

Like, he really wants to upset Annie.

Like it or not, men are wired like that.

-A man would love a woman to hell.
-Hundred percent.

-But maybe he's somewhere…
-[Nadia] Yeah.

…his d*ck would just decide something--

No, his mind, not his d*ck.
It's not its own entity.

Okay, however you look at it,

he will f*ck.

Even if he's married?

But he won't even give a f*ck
about that person.

He just wants to sort out that sh*t.

She's asking, are you talking
about generally or yourself?

-Is this what you believe?
-It's what I believe.

Is that you, or is that your belief?

[tense music playing]

I'm not gonna lie,
just hearing him say that,

I'm kind of embarrassed.

What are you saying?

There's no way what he's saying right now
is what he means,

but in actual fact, it's what he means!

I couldn't believe it.

I think we're misunderstanding you.
Is this how you feel?

I'm saying,
this is what I feel, this is what I think.

-That's what he's saying.
-This is how I reason.

-[Andile] No, hold up. Hold on.
-In your relationship?

-[Andile] Hold on--
-That's what I think.

That's what he said!
Don't-- You'd better stop.

You're gonna get stabbed.

I don't necessarily do it.

He's not talking about himself.
He's talking about men.

[Kayleigh] That's what I said. Okay.

-But I know this is like… It's nature.
-This is how men are wired.

[Andile] Yes.

[2Baba] That was what
I was trying to explain, you know?

But Nadia-- She was trying
to be-- to be funny,

and I think that was quite disrespectful.

You know exactly what I'm talking about
and you're trying to act the fool.

Excuse me, I need to use the bathroom.

[Nadia] Yeah.

Honestly and truly, I felt uncomfortable.

Like, why must it always be
about my relationship?

-If I'm somewhere, if I'm…
-Nadia. Give me two seconds.

I'm listening. One second.

I don't want to have that-- Oh, because I…

[laughs]

Oh, is that what you mean? Oh, okay.

[Andile] I don't know
where Nadia is getting the temerity

to have this conversation,

especially knowing
the historyof the Idibias.

We're all aware
of what they've just had to come out of.

-Triggering conversation?
-I don't want that problem.

-I didn't bring it up.
-[Andile] But you're pushing.

I'm not. He's talking.
Must I stop talking?

How, when he's speaking?
I'm doing absolutely nothing.

What am I doing? I'm not doing anything.

He is talking
and giving information out himself.

I did not put an inception in his mind

for him to regurgitate
the nonsense he was saying.

It was complete nonsense.
I couldn't believe it.

-What must I do?
-Stop interrogating.

I'm not! I'm not saying anything.

-Nature, it's--
-How am I interrogating?

[Andile] Annie leaving the table

is almost Annie detaching herself,
even from her friends,

because she's invited people
she trusts and loves

in order to break bread with her husband.

It's not what this feels like.

[Andile sighs]

Huh? It's not my fault.
Don't blame it on me.

No, it's not my fault. No.

[mellow music playing]

Ah, this is beautiful.

I'm not a fan of nature,
and Swanky's dinner is outside.

My expectations for tonight
is just to get to know

Luis and Zari a little better,

since I'm already having
a relationship with Bonang.

-Hi, my girl.
-[Fantana] Hi.

[Fantana] And also Swanky wants me
to get to know Zari more,

because I guess they are friends.

-[Bonang and Fantana] Swanky! Swanky!
-You know the king is in the house!

How are you?

[Swanky] I mean, if there's one thing
about me, it's connecting people,

so, my agenda for today is, really,
to just connect my friends intimately.

-Hello, hello, hello!
-Hi, gorgeous girl!

[Zari] I'm quite nervous
because I don't know

how things are going to turn out,
being like, it's new people.

A bit of anxiety.

-Cheers!
-Welcome to the house.

Wait, what is this gathering about?

Good question.

[suspenseful music plays]

It's always for love and just happiness
and just a catch-up one with everyone.

-You know, what have you guys been up to?
-Mm.

And obviously, just to be open
and clear with everything,

so there's no like underlaid beef.

[Fantana] After my date with Diamond,

and talking about
his relationship with Zari,

I'm still a little bit
stand-offish with her.

It's either I'm gonna like her,
or I'm not gonna like her.

There's, like, really
no, like, in between.

[dramatic music plays]

[Bonang] This has been
a very large elephant in the room.

We'll get to the bottom of it, though.
I'm really dying to meet Luis.

Ooh! Hello, sexy.

-[all] Hey!
-How are you?

[Luis] Swanky didn't tell me
who is gonna be at the dinner.

Okay, Bonang is here,
so you have to apologize,

and get that out of the way

before it comes up
or before somebody brings it up.

Why are you wearing a wedding ring?

[all chuckling]

-[Zari] It's dinner.
-Oh, okay, okay.

I'm manifesting.

-All for you. Nice to meet you.
-[Luis] I'm-- I'm big on hugs. Luis.

[Swanky] I obviously know about the Luis
and Bonang situation from Namibia.

The purpose of me inviting Luis
is so that he can meet up with Bonang.

They can kind of like, I mean,
just be a cool circle of friends.

Luis, how are you? Are you a baller?

-[in slang] Wow!
-[Bonang] Or are you just so chilled?

-I am trying to build myself up, you know?
-What do you do?

I produce, I direct.
Um, I've created TV shows.

-I have an MCC.
-Okay, okay, alright, cool.

I do events as well.

[Luis] I invited Bonang to make
a celebrity appearance for one day

during Windhoek Fashion Week.

I mean, uh,
other celebrities were invited.

Bonang arrived at the hotel,

only to be told the room
that I had reserved wasn't confirmed,

which resulted in someone else booking it.

But obviously,
at this point she wasn't happy.

And then the following day,
I put her on a flight,

and she flew back to South Africa.

-[exclaiming]
-[laughing]

-[Zari] Wait!
-Okay, fine, okay.

That's the beef with you and Bonang.

-Wait. Give me a chance. No!
-What was that?

-How dare you?
-[Luis] Let me explain.

[Luis] It's important for me
to explain what happened,

because I feel
she didn't deserve what happened.

That was my very first event.

-I was 23 years old.
-Oh!

And I flew in 30 plus people
in the country for the very first time.

What was the event called?
I can Google it.

It was called Fashion Week--
MTC Windhoek Fashion Week.

And at the venue
which you were supposed to speak at,

um, it rained,
so we had to move the whole structure

to a different location.

That was quite stressful.

It rained, it wasn't
because I didn't have flowers--

No, it rained, yeah.

[Zari] But you know
you can also throw tantrums.

[Luis] So, I apologize.

-Sorry.
-I sincerely apologize.

Oh, you sincerely apolo--
So it wasn't my fault?

[Luis] It wasn't your fault, not at all.
It was never your fault.

You said he said
I left because I had no flowers.

-[tense music playing]
-[Luis chuckles] Uh, uh…

Swanky hears what Swanky wants to hear.

It seems like
he's given Bonang the wrong story

and twisted the whole thing.

It was absolutely my fault, 100 percent.

-The rain.
-The rain, it was the rain.

[in Zulu] Mm-mm.
Luis must not come with lies.

[in English] You know? No.

[amusing music playing]

Speaking of friends
and who's fitting in with who,

let me tell you what happened

-on the boat.
-[Swanky] Tell me.

On the boat I asked Annie, like,
"How's things with Swanky?"

And she's like,
"Oh, oh, guys, wait, wait."

"I need to play a voice note."

And she's saying, "On this voice note
you're sounding very shaky,

like you actually want to cry."

-You're telling her how…
-[Swanky clears throat]

…you don't understand

what went wrong between the two of you
and all these things.

We just listened. Bonang, my witness.

-Yes.
-Oh, you were there?

Of course.
It was the three of us in the boat.

I'm very, very disappointed
that she shared the voice note

that I sent to her, because at that point,

I was equally devastated,
you know what I mean?

Like, how is this
even happening to my girl?

She was actually
quite reluctant to play it.

'Cause I was pressing her,
I won't even lie.

Like, "What happened?
Why are you not speaking?"

-Yes.
-And she actually told me the truth.

Well, parts of the truth,
that you two organized an event in Lagos.

You went behind her back
and organized it without informing her.

-She was somewhere else with her husband.
-Cool.

I'll just clarify everything quickly
without messing around.

Annie, you've never had any events.

The only event you've probably had
was your wedding.

That's not your thing, so relax.

I put up the idea, and I shared
the idea with your management.

Your management ran it through you,

you accepted,
and we agreed to do the event together.

Annie is not naturally a responsive person
with phones, with text, with whatnot.

I called the manager this evening,

on the spot Annie calls.

The manager picks up the phone
in excitement. Now I'm on the phone,

Annie's calling on the phone,

so we can all talk about everything
and just finalize, right?

Upon the manager picking up the phone,

the first thing that Annie said
to the manager is, "Oh, hi."

"I know you like Swanky,
but at this point,

I really just want to do
this event by myself."

[dramatic sting]

The manager was like, "No, you can't go
and do an event by yourself,

because Swanky
brought this event idea to us."

-She didn't know you were on the phone?
-Yeah, she didn't know.

The manager immediately puts me on mute.

I sent the manager a text,
I said, "If you don't unmute me,

I will f*ck sh*t up so bad

that nobody, not you, not 2Face,
not Annie, would be able to survive it."

[dramatic sting]

Wow.

I didn't see this coming.
I didn't even know it was at this extent.

There's so much that he knows about them,

and when you cross a person like that
who knows so much about you,

they could literally f*ck you up.

At that point I decided
that I was not gonna communicate with her,

I was not gonna reach out to her,
I was not gonna talk about it.

I was just going to go ahead
and do my own sh*t.

And as you can see,
it was the biggest thing on the continent,

without you, Annie.

Like, no one even noticed
that you weren't there. It's like…

Stop playing with me now.

You know how powerful I am. Don't do that.

-[wind gusting]
-[crickets chirping]

[mellow music playing]

[Luis] I've been thinking about Fantana
since Khanyi's mystery party,

and we haven't had the chance
to just interact, the two of us.

And I wanna see
where this friendship could go.

Like I said the last time
we were chilling and interacting…

Yeah.

…I still want to hang out…

-Uh-huh.
-…just one on one,

without the girls, without the boys,
without all of this drama.

-There's a lot going on.
-Mm-hmm.

I want a chance to one-on-one, you and me,

-get to know each other and so forth.
-[chuckles] Okay.

-Still down for that?
-Get to know each other like friends?

Like, you know, just hanging out? [laughs]

-Like how?
-I don't know!

I like people that are straightforward,
like, you know, like, whatever.

I just want us to chill and hang out…

-Right.
-…and then, yeah, we see how things go.

-Mm-hmm.
-We'll take it from there.

[Fantana] I don't know
how to feel about it,

because Luis is the opposite
of what I'm usually into.

He's too soft and gentle,

and I feel like I can just walk
all over him and, like, control him.

And I just-- I don't know,
but maybe that's what I need.

[chuckles]

You have to plan it, though.

-I have to plan it.
-I don't really-- Yeah.

-Hmm.
-But it can be something chill.

-I will consult my little phone…
-[chuckles]

…and check what's happening there,

-and then we'll take it from there.
-Okay.

-Where is the two of them?
-I have no idea.

-[Zari] Ooh, must we be worried?
-I don't know. I don't like--

I don't like Luis. He talks too much.

[chuckles] k*ll me.

-And I don't like men with muscles.
-[Zari] You didn't say that.

[Bonang] And he's a liar.

[all laughing]

[Zari] About the event?

"Yes, oh, now I'm sorry,
it was the rain, it wasn't you."

-Go f*ck yourself!
-So why didn't you talk about it?

I don't have energy to discuss

-things with the people that unbook me.
-One minute, babe--

Don't lie about me because I'm a celebrity

or whatever you think I am,
like you see me on TV.

It gives people such a wrong impression.
I did not walk out on the event, actually.

-Ooh, where have you been?
-It was the rain…

-[Fantana] There's a fire over there.
-Doing what? Getting cozy?

I was looking for the fire for you,
but you have a blanket now.

B already hooked me up with something.

You guys took forever.

[Swanky] I think Luis
is kind of interested in Fantana,

but at this point I don't care,
because I know where Fantana's heart is.

Zari, let me just put this out here
in the air.

-[Fantana] What air?
-[Luis] Oh, wow, what--

[in Pidgin] Because I don't like nonsense.

[in English] I know.

And I like everyone
to be clear on things, generally.

[laughs]

As soon as Swanky starts talking
about me and Zari,

I already know that Swanky
is about to tell her…

[chuckling] …my business with Diamond.

[Swanky] Fantana is working on
a new song with Diamond.

They're having their thing going on.

[tense music playing]

I feel a bit awkward right now,
because here I was just talking to Fantana

about us possibly going out on a date,

and now we are Fantana and Diamond,

so I'm in a very weird space right now.

Just let's be clear. You know,
you and Diamond like each other,

you guys are doing your thing.

-Ms. Zari--
-Why are you asking me?

[Swanky] No, I have to ask you
because I don't want w*r.

I'm not with the guy.

I don't want violence!

-[Bonang] Violence, ma'am!
-I'm not even with him.

Yeah, exactly.

I don't think I'm making a big deal
when it comes to Fantana and Diamond,

because I'm not with this man.

I just hope he doesn't pull
a Nadia on you.

[tense note plays]

What is "pulling a Nadia"? What is that?

[Fantana] I don't know.

[Zari] The thing is,
with Diamond, when I'm around,

every other female doesn't exist.

-Yeah, and we had that conversation.
-Right.

Because you are his baby mama.

She always wants to bring up the fact
that he is the father of her kids.

I feel like everybody knows that
and understands that,

and I don't know why
she's still holding on to that.

Me and Diamond, you know
we're forever touchy-touchy, cozy-cozy.

If I was cold right now,
he'd be probably leaning on me

or the other--

[Bonang] Right.

So, and you are sitting there,
how would that make you feel?

I don't give a damn.

-You don't even like this man.
-[Bonang] Yeah.

-You don't even like this man.
-No, I do.

First of all, I'm young,
I'm fine as f*ck. I don't care.

Do you know Diamond is dating?

[dramatic music plays]

[Fantana] Do you know
how many people I'm dating sitting here?

How many people?

Do you know how many I'm dating,
sitting here? Like four!

[Fantana] I feel she just wanted
to say something to, like, piss me off,

or get me out of character,
but me and Diamond have an agreement

where it's like we can both do
whatever we want to do.

Diamond told me
the problem is that, whenever,

even if he wants to move on
with another girl or whatever,

you're the one who has a problem.

[laughs]

-He said that.
-Diamond is a f*cking liar!

-He'll say that to make you feel okay.
-[Fantana] No!

But when Zari steps in the room,
it's not gonna be about you, Fantana,

I just know my baby daddy. He's a man.

He needs to get his way,
so he's making you feel safe.

No, he's not,
because Diamond met his match,

because whatever he does to me,
I'll do to him.

I'm not in love with Diamond.
Diamond's a city boy, and I'm a city girl.

I will see another guy
wearing ten chains right now

and forget about Diamond.

Okay, somebody actually met his match.

He can have five girlfriends at a time,
she can have four.

Yeah, match made in heaven.

Can I just say, don't be-- don't be
another Diamond side chick.

-[Zari] No!
-[Fantana] No! Me and Diamond are friends.

I'm not the side chick.

-Or don't be another Diamond fling.
-No! We're not!

-[Swanky] Hold on, let me--
-People should focus on her music.

I don't want Fantana to be known
as Diamond's side chick,

because she's very talented.

She should be known for her music first.

-I had to apologize.
-Does he wanna be another one on her list?

-She has a list. We have lists.
-Do you know the list I have?

-[laughs]
-[Bonang] Sweetie, women have lists.

You think men are the only people with a--

Darling, I have a hit list of men
I would sleep with and leave.

Don't ever, please,
depreciate a woman like that.

According to who?
According to which standard?

Set by who? In what era?

I'm looking out for her.

[in Zulu] Hey! Don't talk sh*t!

[in English] If it was him,
and maybe I was in the studio with him,

I don't think he'd have a problem.

Fantana, do you?

I am young!

Imagine fresh from the desert,

you want to tell women about
the-- the activities of their vaginas.

If you want to sleep with him,
it will be fine.

Oh, Zari doesn't want
it to happen in front of him.

Don't annoy me.

You're saying that now,
but society won't take it that way.

Which society? It's their vaginas!

-They will not focus on her music.
-[Bonang] It is not. Which music?

-They'll focus on the scandal.
-[Bonang] They don't need to buy it.

-Who cares?
-That's what I'm saying.

She's here for her music,
to focus on her music.

-They can focus on both!
-No, they can't!

[Swanky] What are you
really fighting for, Luis?

Are you fighting
for Fantana to focus on her career,

or are you fighting
for Fantana to have room for you?

I don't want her to be attached
to, um, some sex scandal, or some--

Which sex scandal, darling?

I f*cked the biggest stars in Africa!
I am still standing!

What man's d*ck is bigger than her music?

[in Zulu] Don't talk sh*t!

[in English] What does that mean?

Don't come here with your bullshit,
that's what it means.

Bonang is trying to make me out to seem
like I'm trying to control Fantana.

She's trying to make me out
to seem like a misogynist.

She's trying to paint me as this guy,

this typical African man
who's not for women's rights,

and that is not the case.

I get it he lied about me,

so the same sh*t he's pulling
with the same mentality.

So it's more to this. Okay, now I hear--

Don't come here and lie about people,

creating things in your mind
according to things you assume

-people are going to do.
-Okay, release, sister.

I'll stay out of it.

I'll eat some chicken.

Bonang has unresolved anger.

This is about her taking her energy out,

but she's just putting it out
in the wrong way.

Luis, you understand this is not
just about the f*cking topic, right?

He's a liar.
He wants to assume roles for women.

-She's letting out more than we know.
-"Men only know you for your sex scandal."

I feel like we addressed the issue,

but now she is bringing it up again.

[Bonang] Fantana.

-[Fantana] Yes?
-[in Zulu] No, girl.

[in English] What is this?
Can he go back to the desert, like…

[Fantana] To the desert?

It was fine
when Bonang was calling me out,

but it became a problem
when she mentioned my country.

[ominous music playing]

[Swanky] Maybe you and Luis
will address your issues.

-I shan't.
-[Zari] "Shall not", she meant.

I have apologized.
I'm not apologizing anymore.

No one asked you to.

I apologized, multiple times,
but you're not hearing me.

People in Namibia know this happened.

-So, it's-- it's out there--
-I can call someone in Namibia now--

-Call someone, you'll see the truth.
-I asked you to tell me who you spoke to.

I will do that.

You came and you said you apologized,
but for lies.

[Luis] What lies?

-Did you not apologize for lying?
-[Luis] I apologized.

-I said I was sorry.
-[Bonang] But you lied.

-You had to apologize--
-How did I lie if it's the truth?

I told my truth.
There's proof, there's evidence.

-Where?
-It's out there. It's online.

-[Bonang] Where?
-I'll send you a link.

[Bonang] Send it right now.

I'm not going to do it now.
I'm here for Swanky.

The dinner right now
has turned into, like, a w*r zone.

[Bonang] This is actually quite--
This is bullshit.

[Swanky] B, hold on, calm down.
Baby, please, wait. Wait!

Thank you, guys.
Thank you, everybody. Good night.

[Swanky] Now it's like
so freaking hectic.

I can't even place my hand on anything.
Everyone's just all over the place.

I'm just like,
"Can I have more champagne, please?"

[techno dance music playing]
