02x09 - Trials and Tribulations

Post by bunniefuu »

[Fantana] You are dumb.

You fake designer-wearing old b*tch,
with your dry-a*s wigs.

f*ck out of here.

-Your wig is dry. I'm not talking to you.
-[Zari] Go on.

Yeah, bye, you wannabe fake
whatever the f*ck.

You date people

I went to high school with.
f*ck out of here.

-[Zari] You done?
-Are you?

You f*cking cougar, are you?

-[Zari] I'm a cougar. You're a young sl*t.
-You are. So f*ck out of here. Bye! Bye!

I'm a young, rich b*tch.

-[Zari] I'm an old--
-And you're an old, bitter b*tch.

I'm a billionaire.

After having two kids,
you still couldn't keep him, b*tch.

[dramatic sting]

-[Zari] I don't want to keep Diamond.
-Whatever. Bye!

-Bye. You can't keep anybody. Bye!
-Hold on! Wait! Wait! Wait!

This is not the narrative
we should be having

-as young Black women in Africa.
-[Zari] Oh, honey.

I hate it when women
are gonna fight over a guy,

and they're not gonna blatantly say,

"We're fighting over Diamond."

But this issue started
because of Diamond, to be honest.

I don't think Fantana and Zari
would have an issue

if Diamond wasn't the common denominator
and factor between the two of them.

This thing is breaking me apart,

because this is a big misunderstanding

because of Diamond,

-not because of you.
-What if Diamond did say those things?

-He did.
-What if he did?

-'Cause I know Fantana is a legit b*tch.
-She is.

She would not say Diamond said that sh*t
if he did not say that sh*t.

So the fact that she's coming
with this thing of what Diamond said…

Is that my bad?

…and the things you're coming with,
is what Diamond said,

Diamond is the biggest f*cking problem
in this situation.

He's causing sh*t between people
that shouldn't have drama.

It's wrong, because he's playing the game,
and he's playing the game against you two,

not against him.

You understand when I'm saying that?

-You both need to f*cking burn Diamond.
-[Khanyi] Burn him.

[dramatic sting]

Conflict is fine, let's fight,
but let's not use bad words.

Let's not demean each other,
let's not drag each other down.

Let's-- Please, that I can't.
Please, that's nonsense, okay?

This is a clear example of what men do.

Men lie, and their lies make women fight.

We're now fighting,
calling each other names.

Honestly, I think I need to call them
all together for lunch,

Fantana, Diamond and Zari.

And yes, it's gonna be embarrassing
and confrontational,

but it needs to be done.

Someone needs to do it.

[mellow music playing]

[Luis] I'm rocking up
at Diamond's house tonight,

a little bit nervous,

because I want to clarify the situation
about Fantana with Diamond.

-Yo, yo. Boy from Tandale.
-[chuckles]

[Luis chuckles]

[Luis] I used to really like Fantana,

but after hearing that she and Diamond
have a thing going on,

I wanna get myself out of their way
before there's another misunderstanding.

So, just-- just to put things
out on the table,

-I took Fantana out on a date as well.
-Yes.

What the f*ck is going on with you two?

I'm just trying to say
that there's nothing there, we're cool.

-Did you kiss her too?
-[Luis] No.

'Cause if you kissed Fantana,
it means you kissed this m*therf*cker.

[all laughing]

-[Naked] Like, it's the same.
-No, we--

We're friends, we're cool,
we're not compatible,

so, yeah, she's your girl, dawg,
like, go--

I did not say she's my girl,
'cause don't get me wrong.

For f*ck's sake.

-[chuckling]
-Me and Fantana, we understand each other,

have this, I don't wanna call it
a memorandum of understanding--

-[all laughing]
-A memorandum of understanding!

What the f*ck?

I don't wanna call it that way, but just…
We understand each other.

-That's what we have.
-Did you make that clear to Fantana?

Yeah, we were there.
We were sitting there.

See this black couch?

-We were there.
-Yeah.

That's where I kissed Fantana. See there?

Why would Fantana feel like
she has the power to ask Zari questions?

I thought that you guys only kissed.

-A kiss is a kiss.
-What do you mean?

Am I the one who give Fantana
the power to do that?

-[Naked] No--
-You must have said something to her.

No, not even said,
I think there's more to this sh*t,

'cause if you just kiss a woman,

she won't go to the mother of your kids
and start causing sh*t.

-She called Zari a fake-a*s b*tch.
-[Luis] What?

I know Fantana is not crazy,
Zari is not crazy, so there's--

Something must have been said.

You are avoiding telling us the truth.

What truth do you want?

You need to say
what you told Fantana about Zari,

-because clearly she knows something.
-[sighs]

There's something you said to her
for her to feel she can tell Zari,

"Listen, if I tell you what Diamond said,
you'll cry."

[Naked] I mean, come on.

Whatever is
on that memorandum of whatever,

they need to revisit that.

I'll display what Mama T
is going to do to your ba*ls.

-To my?
-To your ba*ls.

Stop f*cking around with Fantana.

-[laughing]
-This is what she's gonna do to your sh*t.

You see that sh*t?

[laughs]

So what now? What is the way forward?

Are we here now--

This is the thing
I don't want to have a person

and then end up, like, playing,
or playing with the person.

Now it's like you're playing Kayleigh.

[dramatic sting]

[amusing music plays]

Are you marrying her or not,
or are you wasting her time?

-What's next?
-That's not how life works.

-No, no, no.
-Look, I'm gonna put it to you like this.

I'm gonna stop drinking the milk for free.

I'm ready to get the whole cup.

This relationship is not just for vibes.

Maybe I could be ready
for a long-term commitment with Kayleigh.

The next step is happening,
and I'll let you guys know.

It's actually sooner than you think.

[dramatic music playing]

It's not nice when two women
put each other down,

and call each other names
in front of their dear friends.

Today I've decided to invite Swanky,
Diamond, Zari and Fantana

because we have a family issue.

[Fantana] I don't know
who else Khanyi has invited…

-[Khanyi] Fantana!
-…'cause, you know, after yesterday,

I do not want to see certain people.

[ominous music playing]

-What happened yesterday?
-I know.

-Girl--
-And I was sober, so--

I heard about this when I wasn't there,
and I didn't think it was such a big deal.

I just don't like people
who have two sides.

I just can't do it.

She'll say something, then act
like she didn't say anything wrong,

and I just can't-- I can't, like…

-What do you expect from her? Because I--
-I don't even want to see her.

I will be fine
if I don't see Zari ever again.

[dramatic music playing]

[Zari] I don't want
another altercation with Fantana,

because I honestly don't have energy
for this girl.

That is why I asked for Swanky to come.

Maybe he can tame this friend of his.

All I'm interested in is,

did Diamond say the things
Fantana said he told her?

Is Diamond the problem?

Is Fantana the problem?

-Hello.
-Oh, hello.

Why're you walking like it's fashion week.

Listen, I have no idea
what the state of emergency is.

What's this emergency? What's going on?

I'm a bit nervous and worried
and concerned right now,

because, like,
it's looking like there's trouble.

We had, you know, a girl-thing yesterday.

Nadia was doing rehearsals,
and we were asking, you know, Fantana,

"What is it that Diamond said about me
that you said is gonna give me a stroke?"

"Just tell us."

-Not a stroke.
-Dude, it looked so hectic.

She went all up on me,

"I'll f*cking drag you across the floor.
I could beat the sh*t out of you."

-What?!
-"Don't joke with me,

'cause you're just wearing
fake designer things."

-Wow.
-"You're an old, bitter b*tch."

"And first of all, Diamond said
you're obsessed with him."

Me obsessed with Diamond?

[chuckling] Really?

I really don't know
how to feel about this.

It's just so weird.

I still also need to hear from Fantana.

-Hello.
-Swanky!

-Hi.
-Hello, my love.

[ominous music playing]

Like, really?

[Khanyi] I'm a little nervous. Um…
I hope I won't get any resistance today.

I hope people could be civil.

I'm praying.

[exclaims softly]

In this group, friend,
we-- we-- we love being real,

-and real comes with also conflict--
-Do you all?

-[Khanyi] We do.
-[Fantana] Mm.

-We do. We push real here.
-Really?

[Khanyi] That's why I didn't try
to stop you yesterday,

because vent, so that we know
what you're really going through.

I told you, I don't even want
to see her ever again.

You're my friend. I would never sit back,
and I know Swanky's the same,

we'd never sit back
and know that there's an issue

that is unresolved, and be okay.

There's no issue here.

The issue is, I don't f*ck with her,
and I'm never going to. No issue.

And how is that exactly
gonna economically, socially,

-financially decrease?
-Financially, socially, whatever,

you're a pretend everything, so be quiet.

f*ck you.

f*ck you too.

[dramatic sting]

Khanyi keeps saying that me and Zari
have unresolved issues,

but it's like,
there's nothing for us to resolve,

because I don't want
a friendship with Zari at all.

This is not a human being to me.
She is a witch.

I'm about to fly on brooms right now.

Fly and crash, I don't give two f*ck.

-I'm about to fly brooms.
-Do that, fly and crash.

-[Swanky] Was this the energy yesterday?
-Worse.

Yeah, you first. No, f*ck her.

[Swanky] You guys--

Y'all sit up and put up
with this fake what?

Fake boss lady, billionaire…
b*tch, you're not.

[chuckling] Order in court, guys, like,
can we get to something,

'cause, at this point,

we can't get anywhere
with this conversation.

-Please, can I get a drink? Because I…
-I've been asking for drinks.

-My throat is now, like…
-Make those two.

I need to sip something.

[dramatic sting]

[Diamond] As I walk in,
I see people I didn't expect to see.

Zari, I see Fantana.

[chuckles] I don't understand
what is-- what is happening here.

-[Swanky laughing]
-Okay.

This is strange.

-[Swanky] What's up? How are you?
-[Diamond] Come here.

[Diamond] Looking at Fantana,
she looks like she's not okay.

It seems like there's a lot of things
happened or going on today.

How you guys been?

I mean, we are here today
because of you, literally.

Yeah, I'm back,
so it's good to see you guys.

[tense music playing]

He doesn't know why he's here.

[Swanky] I'll fill you in real quick.

Zari and Fantana had, like,
a major fallout yesterday

when the girls were hanging out,
and it was because of you.

[tense music continues]

The first time that I started hearing
about the rumors about you and Fantana--

-What rumors?
-The rumors that you all put together,

-or the stuff that you all created?
-No, we didn't create that.

I'm not angry.
The rumors that y'all put together?

[Zari] Her words are changing now.

Speak up when you're talking
'cause I'm right here. Speak up.

-[Swanky] Relax.
-You talk under your breath.

Speak the f*ck up.

You said I shouldn't speak to you.

Speak the f*ck up, though.

We're talking, addressing something.
Speak the f*ck up.

-I wasn't talking to you, sl*t.
-We're not here to fight.

If you wanna talk, speak the f*ck up.

-I wasn't talking to you.
-I don't care! Speak up.

-Can I be the chairman?
-No, you are sitting on the stand.

[laughs]

-The chairman doesn't do his job--
-You are on the stand.

People are off mood,
and it's like, I don't understand.

Are you okay?

No, I can't be okay,
because I don't know what's going on.

Fantana… please.

I just wanna leave now,
because I just realized

I'm sitting with a whole bunch
of grown adults,

and I'm arguing
with my aunties and uncles,

like there's no point.

It's not getting anywhere,

and I just keep getting mad,
I just wanna go home.

Fantana, can you chill and we finish this?

Let me tell you all,
I'm not with none of that fake stuff.

Why do we have to complicate this?

Nothing is complicated. I'm leaving,

so y'all can be the--
y'all can solve your problem.

-I have no problem. I don't like stress.
-[Diamond] Okay.

[Zari] Diamond is always
putting me in situations

where I'm not supposed to be.

You and Fantana
are trying to get together.

Why is my name there?

My issue is, you all can do you,

because clearly, I'm doing me.

The thing is here.

Fantana at The Polos,
we're having a back-and-forth exchange,

and she says,

"There's a whole lot of things
that Diamond told me about you,

that if I told you, you'd get a stroke."

She put it in a way
you all have been talking,

so obviously, it's like, oh,
maybe my ex this, Mama T this,

because it has to be ugly things
for them to make me want to have a stroke.

So for me, what I want to know,

what is it
that you're talking to Fantana about me…

[Khanyi] That's the issue.

…that is gonna make me have a stroke?

-[exclaims, snickers]
-[chuckles]

[Diamond] Whatever we have today
is not necessary.

This is the most stupid thing
I've ever imagined in my life.

I never expected
to see something like this.

First of all, I feel so embarrassed,
because this is my team, right?

And I never thought
we would have got to this point,

no matter how much
I've been doing my things,

uh, or how much
Mama T been doing her things,

I really tried to make sure
that I put respect out of whatever.

Me and her, is like, you see,
we have the kids and all of that,

so we respect each other and all that.

There's no way I can be in this situation.

To me, I kind of feel awkward.
It's not my thing.

Putting me in front
of the mother of my kids,

a lady that we have something going on,

I think that was,
that's the worst mistake.

Khanyi and Swanky,
it's like they wanna start something.

Any of the persons that I've been with,
or I've been doing whatever we do,

there's no way I can sleep with the person
and talking negative about Mama T.

I don't like those because that's not me.

But you are trying to tell me

you didn't sit with Fantana
at any one point,

and started talking about me.

And where would she get
the courage to even say,

"Some of the things that Diamond said,
'You're obsessed with him.'"

Am I obsessed with you?

-No. Mama T--
-Am I obsessed with you?

Mama T, just like now
you're coming to me--

I'm not!

-Like fighting me, which is--
-I'm not fighting, I want clarity.

It takes a courage for somebody
to wake up and tell you,

"This is what this person
is saying about you."

Mama T, now you're trying
to make me be rude,

make me be having these straight answers.

Straight answers when it comes to family
is not good.

So you're disputing that fact

-that you said anything negative?
-It can't be.

It can't be me and Fantana
sitting and talking negatively--

So it never happened, Zari.

Or me sitting with Zari
talking bad thing about Fantana.

It's not-- We can't be doing those things.

Court adjourned.

[Khanyi] Well… [laughing]

Men will leave you in the desert
without water. Yoh!

[voice breaking] No, I don't have nothing
to say, and there is not a problem.

I just genuinely don't like her,

-I don't have a problem--
-Neither does she.

It's, "Neither do I."
Sorry. It's, "Neither do I."

I just genuinely don't like her.

-You shouldn't have lied.
-I didn't lie.

Whatever Diamond told me about the reason

why he doesn't bring other women
in front of you

-was not a lie.
-Because he respects me.

There are certain things,
it's normal, he's a dad--

It's not about
bringing other women around me.

-What you said, he said things about me.
-Whatever he said,

whatever me and Diamond
talked about in his house, just say it.

No, he can't.

-So, nobody lies here.
-Diamond can't say it.

He can't say it because of what?

He can't,
because he respects me like that.

"He respects me.
He respects me. He respects me."

b*tch, everybody gets respect.

I don't see
the whole Diamond-respecting-Zari thing.

To me, I feel like he's just saying that
so she can feel good about herself,

because, I mean, if he did respect her,

and she was the greatest thing
on the planet,

we all wouldn't be sitting here right now.

-Can I have a takeaway box?
-[Swanky] Wow.

-[Khanyi] What? Your knife fell.
-Sorry. I love you.

-[Fantana] No, I'm done--
-Before you go,

all I just want to remind you guys is,

we fight all the time,
but nobody leaves, Fantana.

-[Swanky] She can't leave.
-[Khanyi] What I'm trying to say is,

Fantana, fights are allowed.
You can hate me next.

It doesn't change the fact

that you're gonna find yourself
at a table like this,

sitting with your family,
because we are your second family.

You guys both need
to apologize to each other.

-I'd rather die.
-[Zari] Why?

The words you threw at each other, guys.

I'd rather die than apologize
to a fake-a*s b*tch.

-[dramatic sting]
-Poison, ma'am.

Whatever is happening now,
stuff I don't like.

All right.

[Diamond] This is not
how I handle my things.

And I feel like they are forcing me to handle
things in the way they want it to be handled,

but I have my Platnumz ways
of how I can handle things.

[upbeat music playing]

[Annie] Hey, guy.

-[in Pidgin] Hey, I got sent this.
-What's that?

[Annie in English] Regardless of all
the perceived drama going on on the blogs,

Innocent and I, we're good.

The evil bloggers wouldn't say that part,
you know.

[in Pidgin] And my number one
gossip partner is my man.

How did the soccer thing go?

Did you and Swanky speak?

[in English] Yeah, we spoke, you know.

[2Baba] That thing
that Swanky did at the soccer,

when he confronted me about, you know,
his issues with Annie,

that was out of line.

Was he trying to say--
Was he trying to sound off?

No, like,

he was wondering
if I value our friendship.

I don't like the way it came across,
what he said.

He was expecting me to…

Reach out to him first?

Excuse me, Swanky Jeremiah Jerry…

[in Pidgin] Are you mad?

[in English] This is the exact problem
that would not allow me resolve issues

with this kid,

like, Swanky, you're trying
to disrespect Innocent.

He is expecting you,
our senior, to call him?

[2Baba chuckles softly]

As what?

[in Pidgin] How can you come
and speak to me about things

that I don't even know about?

[in English] How dare you, Swanky?
How dare you?

You're not the to-go friend for Innocent,

and you know Innocent because of me.

I hate to say this, Innocent,
but I know how many times,

how long it took me
to bring Swanky to you.

How many times Swanky was
begging me that he wants to style you,

[in Pidgin] he wants to style you,
he wants to style you…

Even though he knows
you don't like to take pictures.

It was because of me
that he got you to take pictures

in the first place.

[in English] Like he just--
he just forgets himself.

Ah, Swanky, get off that high horse.

Your pride is beginning to stink
at this point, that's how I feel.

-It doesn't matter.
-No, don't, babe.

I know you're saying it doesn't matter,
but for me, it matters to me.

It doesn't matter.

[in Pidgin] It's not like
he's a close friend--

How is that?

My blood is boiling.

I don't wanna go crazy,
but I can feel myself getting mad.

[in English] Like, Swanky, excuse me.

[slow, dramatic hip-hop music playing]

[Andile] I got a call from Annie,

and she was angry
about what Swanky said to 2Baba.

It's obvious that these two
are still at w*r.

It's clear that the friendship
is not what it used to be.

[Swanky] Since I confronted Annie
about the phone call that she made,

where she was saying
all those nasty things about me,

she has refused to take accountability.

If you don't wanna get into detail,
it's like, what are you running away from?

That's why the apology
that she was giving to me

didn't make any sense.

Hello, Mr. Professor.

[both chuckling]

-How are you, my friend?
-Good. You make me look tiny again.

[Swanky] Ah, always.

[Andile] Yes, trust has been broken
and loyalties have been betrayed,

but these two belong together as friends.

So today, I'm here to convince Swanky
to have a conversation with Annie

just one more time.

I wanna show you something,
and this is why I wanted to see you.

[gentle music playing]

[Swanky chuckles]

[Annie] Hey, you.

-How are you feeling today?
-[Annie] Fabulous.

[Swanky] Yes.

[chuckles] Ah… Aw…

That's so adorable.

Andile is showing me a video
of an emotional moment

that I had during Annie's wedding.

I can see
right through Andile's intentions.

He's basically just trying
to play on my emotions.

-Can I remind you what you said?
-Yeah.

-You said to Annie at her wedding…
-Mm.

…that, "I'm the only one that was here
for your first and your second one."

"We've been together
through thick and thin."

[Swanky] Mm.

This is "thin" once again.

I'm showing him this video to remind him

that you can't take feelings
and put them in a fridge,

lock it away and think that it's okay.

I'd love to see the foundations of love

that I saw from both Annie and Swanky
carry on, and have a relationship again,

for the sake of their history, their past,
and all that they've gone through.

I'm a deep person, Andile.

I love… deep,

so it's like, there's no in betweens.

I'm not really big on, like,
anything that is not real.

You know, if it's not real, I can't.

[Swanky] When I approached Annie
with this situation,

and she… You know, she kind of said,
"Oh, I'm sorry for the voice notes,

it's setting our house on fire,
let's kiss and make up."

Genuinely, I wasn't feeling that,
because I felt like it wasn't real.

-Me and Annie are not… cool.
-[ominous music playing]

I'm definitely not open to giving Annie
any access into my life anymore.

It's not just Annie.
It's the children, it's 2Baba,

it's your family.

[sighs] Andile, stop.

[chuckles] Don't even do that.

-It is, though.
-Don't do that.

It's those kids that call you,
"Uncle Swanky,"

who are wondering
why you haven't come around in so long.

It's 2Baba who says,
"I'm not around with my wife,

but it's okay 'cause Swanky's there."

It's like, I feel like that situation
just kind of closed my mind

towards people to some extent.

It's like, I feel like the goodness…

Like, you know how people
drain the good personality out of you?

So I wouldn't say I miss her.

I think I genuinely just miss
the person that I was

when we were friends.

For me, if she's sorry
about the situation,

and she comes with nothing but remorse,

or being sorry genuinely,
because she's an actress,

if she's sorry genuinely, I can tell.

If she's not, I can tell.

[chuckling] Like, how do we come back
to being normal again?

It's literally, like, impossible.

Like, I don't see that happening.

This is hard to hear.

[pleasant music playing]

[Naked] Things have not been great
between myself and Kayleigh

since the trailer-proposal.

So tonight, I've planned
a romantic night for Kayleigh and I,

because I want to ask her
something really special.

[dings]

[Kayleigh] Quinton asked me to wear
my best little dress,

best heels,
put some makeup on, and be extra,

so I'm excited to see
what he has up his sleeve this time.

[Kayleigh chuckles]

-Wow.
-[both chuckling]

-What?
-What's going on?

Come.

Just take it one step at a time.

-Close your eyes.
-Okay. Are you gonna lead me?

-I'll lead you. Close your eyes.
-Okay.

When you really want something,
you have to work hard for it,

you have to fight for it,

and I feel that both Kayleigh and I
have fought to be where we are,

and tonight is the night.

-There's a turf field… No.
-[gasps]

[Kayleigh laughing]

[Naked] No, just wait, wait, wait, wait,

and when you're ready, open your eyes.

I got you.

And look around.

[gentle music playing]

[Kayleigh laughs happily]

Baby!

This is so gorgeous. Babe, wow.

[Kayleigh] And I'm seeing roses
and candles and the works,

like, he put a lot of effort into this.

I really don't know what is going on.
I have no idea.

Oh, this is so special. Wh-- You did this?

-Stop saying that.
-Oh, wow.

The next time you ask me if I did this,

I'm never gonna do anything for you again.

[chuckles] Thank you, baby.
That's so special, that's so sweet.

I appreciate it.

I've put you through the most.

Like your love just never stops,

and I appreciate it.

Thank you, baby.

And I want you
to stop questioning my love for you,

and second-guessing everything that I do.

Because everything that I do,
you know, I do it

because there's nothing more
in this world for me than you.

And, I mean, I'm not gonna say
that the old Quinton is dead,

because I am still scared
each and every day,

and when you leave the house,
I never ask you where you're going.

Am I not insecure?
I'm-- I'm f*cking insecure,

but I can't show it,

because I need you happy all the time,

and I need you to feel
that I am your safe space.

Sure. Thank you so much.

That's probably something
I've been waiting to hear

for the longest time

from someone that I really, really love.

[tender music playing]

-Don't cry. What's wrong?
-[sobs]

[Naked] What's wrong?

[exhales, chuckles]

You're…

[chuckling] I don't want to ruin
my make-up.

Thank you so much. I appreciate this.

I appreciate all of this
that you've done for me.

It means the world to me. Thank you.

[chuckles] I love you.

-I love you.
-I love you too, baby. Mm.

I know you're hungry.

-Is there food?
-Damn right there's food.

-[Kayleigh] I was just about to ask.
-You wanted to start with dessert?

[laughing] Ooh!
Is it that kind of evening?

Right now, I am so happy.

I've wanted Quinton to tell me
exactly what he feels,

and how he feels.

This is beautiful.

And he's done some self-introspection,

and he's self-aware,
and I'm so proud of him.

I'm so, so, so proud of him.
This is a beautiful moment.

-[sighs] What a beautiful evening.
-It's a pleasure.

Everything is just so perfect.

-Not as perfect as you.
-[clicks tongue] Aw.

You know, it's like so cliché
when they say, "Marry your best friend,"

-and--
-Oh, it's…

[Naked] Thank you.

I… then thought to myself,

"Why have I been so unfair?
Why have I been such a d*ck?"

"Why have I been so cold?"

'Cause you belong…

in my world,

and I know
I've never asked you officially,

but I'm asking you today. Open it.

[chuckles] What is it?

Open it.

I can't open it.

[suspenseful music playing]

-I want you to officially move in with me.
-[both laughing]

Ah, baby.

[both chuckling]

[Naked gasps] Yeah.

It's-- It's the attention
to detail for me.

I mean, this is just beyond me.

[chuckles]

Super cute. Love it.

I can't ever say…

[chuckles]

…I'm mad at you, go home,

because…

you know, this is home.

This is our home.

Thank you.

-[chuckles]
-You know?

[both chuckling]

Why are you making me cry tonight?

I not only want Kayleigh to take away
the key that I gave her tonight,

but I also want her to take away
the fact that I'm not all play-play,

I'm not all about jokes all the time.

Our relationship is not a joke.

And remember, it's our journey.

We make the rules.

-f*ck everybody else.
-That's right, baby.

[dramatic string music playing]

[Andile] No one ever thought
that Swanky and Annie would ever fall out,

but they did.

I'ts been obvious that these two
are still hurting from this.

And after weeks and weeks and weeks
of them both chewing my ear off

on both ends,

I've asked them to come and join me

for a conversation
amongst the three of us.

[Annie] Honestly, the only reason
why I'm getting up

to even get dressed and do this today
is because of Andile.

Swanky needs to understand
that you can't be disrespectful,

regardless of what your problem is.

I really don't want him
to push my buttons.

[in Pidgin] If you push me,
I'm gonna explode.

[in English] I don't take nonsense.

It's one thing to say what I did to you.

It's another thing on how
you deliver the message across to me.

That's true. So all you want is respect.

I just want respect,

because he disrespected my husband
at the soccer thing.

Everything else about this narrative
of how me and Annie fell out

is kind of not relevant to me.

Like, the only thing
that is relevant to me

is the phone conversation
that I heard by myself,

and you said the craziest things about me,

and there's nothing that can change that.

You made that phone call,
and you said those things.

That's why I'm mad.

And that's why I decided
to cut you out of my life.

[tense music playing]

Thank you so much
for allowing me to be here.

Thank you for coming through
when I've asked you to be here.

I want to have this conversation
once and for all.

Let's have closure on it.

And I'm gonna ask you guys
that you allow me to do this my way.

[Andile] Sitting at this table
are two of the biggest personalities

I have ever known,

so it is, as the English saying goes,

"What happens when an unstoppable force
meets an immovable force?"

I'm about to find out.

[Swanky] I don't know
how I feel about this

because I've tried to meet up with Annie
when there was nobody there,

and I still couldn't get
anything out of her.

When I met up with her,
I wanted her to know

how deep that conversation
that I heard had affected me.

-[yawns]
-For me, what broke the straw,

is the phone call.

The clarity that I want from Annie,

is, "Is there something that I did to you
that made you make that phone call?"

Swanky, I don't need to lie to you.

When I'm mad, I know I say stuff.

Why I'm hurt is,

when I was telling Swanky about this event
that I wanted us to do together, he said,

"Let's not do it.
Let's not do it. Let's leave it."

I called him a day before the event,
and he didn't pick.

I never knew
that this event was happening.

Do you know how stupid I feel?
I still feel?

Swanky shouldn't be talking
about betrayal.

I told you, he went ahead,
he did the event behind my back,

and worse, didn't even tell me
about it or even invite me.

[in Pidgin] That day as I see
the pictures and stories where everybody,

their posts for this event,

[in English] I was crying like a child.

I couldn't stay
at that event at Eko Hotel.

-Why? Why were you crying?
-Why?

Because I could not believe
that you would do that to me.

We have the same friends.

I want to know the dates
about this call between you and fight.

Swanky, you broke my heart.

The reason why you did not get an invite

is because, prior to the event,

I'd heard all of the things
you said about me.

When I heard that phone call,
I made up my mind

-that I am done with this person.
-Can you give me a date?

-You definitely said all of those things--
-Okay, tell me when?

-Annie, I don't care when--
-It's a lie!

My thing is--

Why are you doing this camouflage, Swanky?
Why are you doing this?

I wanna take off my glasses for you.

Annie, there's no way on earth

that I did not hear you
talking bullshit about me…

-When?
-…and I decided to cut you off.

There's no way
I would cut you off of my life

without you doing sh*t to me,
so don't f*cking be an actress right now,

and tell me--
You are acting a f*cking movie!

You are acting in a movie right now,
you're an actress.

-Hold on. Let's just hold on.
-Don't f*ck with me like that.

-Yo!
-Shut the f*ck up!

You think I'm dumb? You think I'm slow?

-I know exactly what you did to me.
-Stop. Stop.

You don't have dates because you're lying.

[Andile] We're stopping now. Look at me.

You f*cking made that call
and said sh*t about me.

I'm not insulting you, so don't try it.

-You're telling the people--
-Don't make me raise my voice.

Swanky, get off your high horse.

-Stop. Annie, talk to me! Swanky!
-I've always been a f*cking god.

You cannot tell me I did something
without proving it to me,

so f*ck that sh*t.

-I am good.
-Why are you fighting with everybody?

I'm not fighting with everybody.
I'm fighting with you.

You're fighting me, your in-laws.

[dramatic sting]

You're fighting with your management.
You're fighting with all of your friends.

Annie, you're fighting with everyone,
it's not about me.

You see what you're doing.

I don't blame you. I blame Andile now.

-Andile--
-No. No, no, no.

Annie, look at me.
I have never done you wrong.

That's what you just did to me.

I've always been there for you.

-I'm done, really and truly.
-Hold on, I mean--

-I'm sorry--
-f*ck the cameras right now, Swanky.

This isn't what we do.

We're out here speaking about each other's
families in front of the cameras now.

-No, guys, no.
-No! Andile, no.

Are you hearing
what you guys are saying and doing?

Why are you calling families here?

-You're saying things as well, Annie.
-I didn't say, "families."

Doesn't matter. Things hurt differently,
we all hold things differently.

-We won't work out--
-We're not gonna do this to each other.

That's ridiculous. Who's got my mic?

-Can you sit down?
-No, guys, no.

What Swanky is doing now

is what he's accusing Annie
to have done about him.

The only difference is
he's saying it to her face.

-Please, sit.
-You won't make us make you mad.

-Do you know what I mean?
-I understand you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

But please can you sit down.

Because if you leave, it's gonna hurt me.

-Do you understand what we're doing?
-I'm sorry.

-Swanky heard what he heard.
-Forgive me.

-You might have not meant what it is--
-I know I did. I went too far with it.

I'm sorry.

-I'm so disappointed in myself.
-[gentle piano music playing]

This is not who we are.

-No, it's not. It's not.
-It's not who we are.

And I'm so embarrassed
that we're doing that.

What the actual f*ck?
Like, we didn't have to get to this point.

Like, you know, things didn't have to go
this bad, you know, like…

It's just a shame.

Annie, you're the big sister.

Swanky feels like you failed
to protect him…

-I feel the same way too.
-…from yourself.

And that's why
I keep leaning to you a lot.

I'm the big sister. I will pro--
I try my best to protect you.

You don't understand, Annie.
You don't understand.

Swanky, let's just forgive ourselves.

Let's-- I don't want to be right anymore.

-I'm-- I don't want to be right again.
-[Swanky] Neither do I.

'Cause I'm tired,
I don't want to be right.

I'm also tired. This sh*t has f*cked me up
so bad, like, I don't--

Let's just leave it, please.

[Swanky] I'm not someone
that always has my guard up

when I'm meeting people
or when I'm meeting new friends,

but just because
of that single-- that particular incident,

it's like I can't even trust
anybody anymore.

It's almost like you didn't want
to affiliate with me.

Maybe you felt like, "Oh, I don't want
to affiliate with Swanky,

I don't wanna be with Swanky,
I don't wanna show up with Swanky,"

because I'm inviting my rich friends.

[Annie] I also felt that.

Swanky looked at me like dirt.

My in-laws had called me out
on different sh*t.

I was suicidal many times,

so-- and then Swanky and scandal,
he doesn't like that.

I-- I lost money, endorsements,
so many things, and people.

But Swanky, it was hard.

It was hard, like, I couldn't go
to my children's function in school.

I was going through hell,
so I would not lie to you, Swanky.

Me, I believed in my heart

that my-- the dirt on me was too much,

so I felt he wasn't trying
to mess with his brand with me.

That's why I said a lot of stuff.

I was literally jealous, so was he,
whether he admits it or not.

I must have said stuff about you
in my anger.

And I'm human. I'm sorry.

I don't know if you miss me. I missed you.

-She's saying she's sorry. Swank?
-I'm sorry.

[Annie in Pidgin] Let's end it, Swanky.

[in English] She's saying, "I was going
through a lot, and these things, yes,

-they came out of my mouth…"
-I was angry with the world.

You didn't do anything.

Annie, you know, part of what hurt me is,
I literally just couldn't be there,

like, seeing your friend
going through all of that,

and you are
not even able to be there for them,

is already, like, a problem.

Like, just imagine how all of those things
add up and just make me feel.

[Swanky] I'm not the guy
that would leave my friends

no matter what the f*ck
they're going through.

I would always be there for you.

Get that.

-[Andile] I appreciate you both.
-[Swanky] I love you.

[Andile] There's so much truth
in the saying, "Hurt people hurt people."

Because Annie was hurt,

and that hurt showed up
in how she dealt with Swanky.

Anyways, I just want you to know
that I have nothing against you.

I love you with all of my heart,

and I'm willing
to always be there for you.

-I just want us to communicate.
-Can we kiss?

Can we, like, really make up genuinely,
forget all--

-Like real, real make up.
-Yes.

Can we go out together,
can you dress me up?

I want this to end.

Can you, like-- There'so much
we need to catch up on. I miss you.

[Swanky] Definitely feel very relieved

knowing that I hold no grudges
for Annie anymore.

We can just really move on
from this situation,

and try and see how we can work better
in being better friends to each other,

and I feel like this time
it's really genuine,

because we've gone really deep,

pierced through into, like,
every single conversation,

and that's what I wanted.

I will always be proud of you
no matter what you're going through.

-I am always willing to be there with you.
-Yes.

[laughs] Is he dressing me up over here?

[Swanky] Babe, listen, um, listen,
I wanna ask you something…

[gentle music playing]

[Zari] Tonight I'm dropping the kids off
at Diamond's house,

but I also feel like we need to chat.

We need to have a little chat,
just me and him.

-Are you ready to see Papa?
-[child] Yeah.

[Zari] Because we are here,
and guess who's coming out?

[Diamond chuckling] Hello.

-[Zari] Whoa, okay. Alright.
-[chuckles] Oh.

[Zari chuckles] Ooh!

-There you go.
-I missed you two.

-How are you? I'm good.
-How you doing?

-I'm alright, yeah.
-You're doing fine?

When I was coming back,
I never thought that…

I will face a lot of drama,

but then that's what I met.

I think it's wise for me and Zari
to talk about whatever happened.

I hate the fact
that people were trying to portray it

in a very negative way,

or in a way that it's not that is.

I came to fight.
I literally came to fight.

-You do understand--
-I don't have to understand.

First of all, I felt so bad to everyone,

and I was so pissed whoever
came to tell you about whatever.

The walls have ears,
and the corridors have eyes.

People are watching,
they're listening to things.

Why would that girl have
so much courage and guts to tell me,

"Diamond's been telling me that."

"Diamond tells me
you're obsessed with him."

"Diamond this…"

Why would she be so comfortable
to say that to me?

You know you ladies
when you guys fighting,

everybody can throw whatever
she feels like she wants to throw.

[exclaims]

-Remember, we talked about having a baby?
-Yeah.

How did Fantana get to know?

[amusing music playing]

-No, no, no, we never spoke about that.
-She told me.

She was the one telling me about it.

The day you-- We did the toast,
that's what you said.

-No.
-Nobody--

It was something
that I spoke about with you.

But okay, let's say I wanna have a baby
with you, who's gonna stop me?

Nobody, but then what the point is--

Talk to your b*tches.

-No, I didn't talk to her about that.
-Talk to them.

She's the one who told me about it.

[Zari] I feel like he's lying.

I don't see Fantana just waking up

to think, you know, "I can attack Zari,"

because of Diamond,

because of a man that I'm not with?

You know, I don't like those things.

Yeah, if you don't like it,

then don't sit with these girls
and start telling them sh*t.

Because they'll come back--
You know why they wanna say these things?

They wanna show themselves to me.

"That's your baby-daddy,
you're sitting here acting older."

-"But guess what?"
-First of all--

"This is what he's saying."

-First of all-- First of all--
-Don't give them the platform.

Whatever it was you guys talked about,
I don't wanna know.

Okay, let me not make it
very uncomfortable for you.

-Alright.
-I don't want to know.

When you are sitting with them,
make it very clear.

Okay? Let them know the boundaries.

[sighs] Diamond, just don't put me
in that situation, it's not worth it.

Especially me, it's not worth it.

-Anyway…
-I'm-- I'm gonna have to go, so…

[Diamond] Alright. I'm leaving.

-It's my last day tomorrow.
-To where?

-I'm going to Paris.
-To do what?

To record, 'cause now I'm working
on my global album. Yeah.

I'm so proud of you.
You-- You're doing great.

Don't stop whatever you're doing,
even with all the drama that you have.

I don't have drama.
Why do you keep saying I have drama?

-[laughs] Okay, I'm the drama then.
-I don't have drama.

Yes.

-[scoffs] You were so quick to say yes.
-[chuckles]

-Whatever, good night. I have to go.
-Alright.

[Zari] I'm gonna let it slide.

I just don't wanna put Diamond
in a situation. I'll let it slide.

[gentle music playing]

[Diamond] Well, I'm leaving now.

I'm going to tour,

but I need to see Fantana.

We need to talk because I wanna
make sure that everybody feels good.

I don't wanna look like, maybe,
I'm on Fantana's side.

I don't wanna look like, maybe,
I'm on Zari's side.

-Fantana. What's good, mama?
-Hi.

-Come here.
-[chuckles]

How are you?

-I'm fine.
-Good.

I was annoyed at Diamond at the lunch.

I kind of have been, like,
avoiding him, kind of,

but honestly, it's hard to stay mad at him
because of the type of person he is,

so I kind of forgot, like, why I'm mad…

[chuckling] …but I'm not gonna let what
he's wearing or looks like distract me.

But where are you going?

-I'm going to Paris, my love.
-Oh, so you're going to Europe?

Yeah, I'm going to Paris,
then from Paris, I go to London.

[Fantana] Mm-hmm.

Then from London
I'm supposed to go to Malawi.

Ooh!

Wait. Where is that? Where is Malawi?

Malawi? It's in Africa.

[both chuckling]

-What?
-It's in Africa.

I don't know where Malawi is,
but I'm gonna Google it,

because it sounds so tropical,
and it sounds like a juice.

I need to study all these countries
I don't know.

-I love that place, man. I love Malawi.
-All I know is Ghana and…

Oh, it's in East Africa.

What if I have fans in Malawi
I don't know? That's nice.

I kind of feel like this trip
I came this time around.

Why? You don't like it?

Yeah, it was good, but then…

I don't know,
I kind of feel like, I don't know.

Especially like the other day,
whatever that…

-I didn't know--
-Khanyi's thing?

Yeah, it's like,
that wasn't necessary, you see?

If that situation that day offended you,
I wanted to apologize to you.

No, it didn't offend me, it's just,
I don't like when Zari feels

like she has control over…

-I understand. I feel you.
-…how we are supposed to do stuff.

So I feel like
because she cannot control, like,

-tell me how to feel about you.
-I feel you.

-That is the problem.
-I do get it.

That day made me feel like, maybe,
I'm the reason of everything.

You see, and I felt so bad and I was like,
why are they taking our stuff this way?

We just started this beautiful thing and…

I love spending time here.

[gentle music playing]

-When am I gonna see you?
-[laughs] I don't…

I don't want Zari and all this,
I don't like the stress and drama.

I understand,
but then you can't, you know…

And plus, you were so quiet there.

I was trying to be quiet
because I didn't want to cause anything.

I do feel like, you know, there was
a better way for things to be resolved

between me, Zari and Diamond
if the actual issue was Diamond,

but because the actual issue
is just me and Zari,

and me not liking Zari for who she is,

I feel like there's nothing
that Diamond could have done.

Now we can actually just have peace.

Come on, give me a big kiss.

[Fantana] Oh, Dia.

-Make sure you don't forget about me.
-Yeah, I'm not…

Oh, my God.

You know I love you, right?

-[chuckles] Love you too.
-I love you, remember that.

[intriguing music playing]
