Who’s ready to walk to Junior’s for some cheesecake?

After more than a decade off air, MTV’s hit show Making the Band is finally coming back to TV with a few changes.

On Wednesday (Feb. 19), Diddy announced that his hit show would be making a comeback with a few new additions to the crew—his three sons. According to Deadline, the Bad Boy mogul’s sons Christian Combs, Quincy Brown and Justin Combs are set to be a part of the panel along with creative director and celebrity choreographer LaurieAnn Gibson, who is returning to the franchise.

“We not settling for just anybody,” Quincy says in the clip calling for talent. “If you feel like you got what it takes to compete in today’s industry—y’all know how our pops does it. So expect nothing but the best to be showing up.”

Making the Band premiered on MTV in 2002 with Combs at the helm, two years after the original edition that followed the founding of O-Town aired on ABC. The series quickly became a breakthrough concept in music and television that chronicled the real-life drama and intimate journeys of musical acts Danity Kane, Day26, Da Band and Donnie Klang.

Open auditions for Making the Band will go down in Atlanta (Feb. 28-29), Houston (March 7-8), Charlotte, North Carolina (March 13-14), and New York (March 21-22), with each city having vocal booths allowing contestants the ability to which people can deliver a music-video-style performance to approved songs.

Apryl Jones and Lil’ Fizz Call It Quits, Omarion Responds

Omarion may be the king of being unbothered, but after the mother of his children and former band mate called it quits—he’s ready to reveal just why he refused to respond to the news.

During an interview with Claudia Jordan for Out Loud, Apryl Jones confirmed that she and Lil’ Fizz have officially broken up, citing that focusing on the kids is their priority as the reasoning.

”Drew is a great man. His focus is on Kam, my focus is on my kids. And we are where we are. And I kinda want to leave it there…”

Although she was tight lipped about the reason behind the split from Fizz, Apryl did offer the reason why she and Fizz became an item in the first place—he was there for her.

”I don’t live my life for people, so I don’t care what people have to say,” Apryl said. “But I do have to say that there is a lot of information that people don’t know. There was a lot left off of Love & Hip-Hop, even more so now because I haven’t been on but that’s 15 years right there. I have known Drew for so long and I have to say that if it wasn’t for him being there for me when I was going through difficult things like being a mother and life, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

Despite being single, one thing that Apryl is finally able to receive is closure in her relationship with Omarion. During an interview with Madame Noire, Omarion finally reveals what caused him and Apryl to go their separate ways after she gave birth to his daughter—an answer Apryl stated was much needed for her to finally move on.

During the interview, Omarion states that it was a shift in energy and growth that drove his decision to end his longterm relationship with Apryl.

“[When Apryl and I broke up], I was asking myself a lot of questions,”Omarion revealed. “I just had kids. I was like, why am I doing this? I needed a moment to be able to just recalibrate and refocus and really think about what I wanted to do. I would really attribute her not understanding to lack of communication and upbringing. I was raised a little bit different than she was raised and I think that is really, at the end of the day, always a thing in relationships. It’s just miscommunication and different love languages. So that’s what I would really attribute it to. People grow and some people grow out of each other. I would say that is, from my perspective, truly is what happened.”

In regards to how he remain unfazed by the union of Apryl and Fizz, Omarion states that his positive outlook on the situation was fueled by his love for their kids.

”The most important thing about understanding where I’m at is, I did a lot of self-reflecting. You have to know yourself well enough to know how far you would go. In my self-reflecting I realized that maybe I would take it too far,” Omarion continued. “Maybe I would go further and there would be certain consequences that wouldn’t just affect me, but it would affect my kids. Really, when you take a step back and you really know yourself, you’re able to make better decisions. So to be honest with you, I just did a lot of self-reflecting and I realized, a lot of situations and circumstances are really out of your control. The only power you have is the way that you react. In order to really get a grip on that, you almost have to go through all of the emotions. You have to go through the ups and downs to really be able to root yourself and focus on what’s important. So I just made the decision to be respectful to my kids and to be respectful to myself because it’s like, everybody is like, ‘I would respond like this,’ or I would respond like that, but what happens after that? And then also, it’s like, what am I here for? Am I here for that? No. I’m here for my kids. Truly.”

#LHHNY: Old Beefs Are Still Sizzling & Closed Wounds Are Re-Opened On The Season 10 Premiere

Leave a comment
'Love & Hip Hop: New York' Returns With 2-Hour Season Premiere

Source: VH1

For season 10 of Love & Hip Hop: New York, Mona Scott-Young decided to bring back some OG’s and kick all of those unwanted newcomers to curb to restore the feeling the show brought in its inaugural season. It looks like she was absolutely right to do so because the 2-hour season premiere put us on a collision course with tons of drama expeditiously.

Chrissy Lampkin is back in town and, she is looking to repair the image she left with after dragging or, as Kimbella described it during the episode, “blindsided her” for being messy at the time. Lampkin also tries to squash her ancient beef with now Yandy Smith-Harris, who used to be her forever fiancé, Jim Jones’ manager. The conversation with Yandy goes nowhere quickly with Smith after she shuts down Chrissy for suggesting that she bring the “old Yandy back.”

BUT Chrissy does find a way to bury the hatchet with Kimbella, and the two found some common ground in the fact that they both hate Yandy. Kimbella still can’t stand Yandy even after the two bonded over the fact they both have husbands in jail. Kimbella now has a partner in crime to take Yandy on seemingly hinting that these two will both be a thorn in Yandy’s side. Yandy gets a glimpse of Kimbella’s new energy during a meetup when Smith reads a Bossip story that detailed Chrissy and Jim Jones losing their house to foreclosure. Kimbella calls Yandy messy for reading the story that Cyn pointed out existed. Make it, make sense, please. Kimbella is back to her old theatrics and has a new battery in her back now that Chrissy has teamed up with her.

Speaking of that situation, Chrissy was seemingly blindsided by the news that Jimmy dropped the ball with the mansion she hasn’t lived in for years. He blamed the fact that he didn’t have no one to help handle the financial side of things, basically what Yandy was doing and what Chrissy hates her for. To make matters worse, Chrissy started this all-women investment group called the “Lady Millionaires Club.” The premise of the group is that they put their money together and buy property to flip it. Ironically it’s not a good look that Chrissy is out handing out business advice and buying homes, but at the same damn time, she letting a mansion be seized under her watch and being sold reportedly for only $100.

Lampkin later meets up with her business partner Greg “Big Bizness” Parker, a real estate investor, who bought into Lampkins’s idea. He tells her to get her ish together and fix the situation, or she is going to wind up owing him a lot of money. Lampkin, after getting threatened by Parker, lights a fire under Jim, wishing she could slap him through the phone. He is currently in Los Angeles and is strangely calm for someone whos crib just got taken away from them.

Moving on, we catch up with one Joe Budden, who is now single and trying to co-parent with the ex-fianceé, Cyn Santana. Santana decided she had enough with the rapper/podcaster after she went through his phone and saw something she didn’t like. Done with Joe’s cheating ways, she packed her stuff and took their adorable son and moved out of the home the former couple shared together while he was on tour.

All of this information comes out during a conversation between the two that goes south when Joe, while sitting Indian-style in his very monotone voice, calmly denies that he cheated and spins the situation to Cyn’s disliking. She storms off, putting it out there that their relationship messed up beyond repair at this point.

To make matters worse for the couple, Joe’s ex, the lovely and still ridiculously thick Tahiry Jose is back in town. Now she is still over the “Pump It Up” rapper and doesn’t really see a path to a relationship with him again, but Erica Mena, for whatever reason, is on a mission to somehow hook them back up. This shall get messy once Cyn finds out what is going on cause the young firecracker likes to get spicy.

We already know what kind of energy Joe is on because, during a conversation between himself, Rich Dollaz, and Papoose, the leader of the “Black Love” movement tried to put him on the right path. Of course, the advice went in one ear and out the other with Joe sticking to his old ways.

Speaking of Erica Mena, she now has a gut full of the pop-locking, sex toy making reality star, Safaree Samuels’ man juice. We quickly learn the couple is working on getting everything for their VH1-funded wedding in order, which is going down in three weeks. Good luck with that. The couple is delighted t tie the knot. Before that happens, some issues still looming are going to have to deal with before they say I do. The big elephant in the room is Erica’s exes, Rich Dollaz and Cyn Santana being around. Safaree isn’t going to have to worry about his Cyn trying to make a play for his soon-to-wife, Mena is gonna have to worry about Cyn checking her for trying to hook Joe back up with Tahiry which will cause friction between Joe’s exes.

Safaree, on the other hand, will have to address Rich Dollaz due to the highly-publicized relationship he used to have with Mena. If you remember Safaree and Rich almost came to blows over Samuels secretly dealing with Mena. Rich Dollaz decides its time to move on bury the hatchet apologizing to both Safaree and Erica at Remy Ma’s off of parole party. Safaree accepted Rich’s gracious move, but Erica Mena could care less about the olive branch Dollaz extended.

Also, when Tahiry suggests Erica consider getting a prenuptial agreement and she brings up to the lawyer, Safaree is not happy that she went there without consulting with him first.

Last but not least, we catch up the Remy Ma and Papoose, who is still going strong and extremely happy. Remy is very stressed, though, as she is trying to juggle being a new mother again with her heavy workload. Remy is feeling overwhelmed and unappreciated while Papoose really isn’t helping, which is strange on his part, being that he was the one pushing for Remy to have a kid. The couple has a rare argument about the situation, but it doesn’t get too heated. Looks like Remy wanting to get back on top of the rap game, while co-hosting a show and being a mom will be the biggest test the married couple has faced since her release from prison.

This was only the first two episodes, we still haven’t met the other cast members. LHHNY OG Olivia Longott, who still has issues to fix with her former manager Rich Dollaz returns next week. Newcomers to the reality tv franchise, Phresher, and Jennaske, arrive as well. You can peep all of the reactions to the 2-hour season premiere below.

Rumble At The Convention 2, Lily Gets Wig Pulled By Junior’s Boo, Ryan Is Over It #BlackInkChi

Leave a comment
Lily Almost Gets Her Wigged Snatched By Junior's Girl On #BlackInkChi

Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz

Last week, Ryan confronted Van for this struggle tattoos that resulted in the shop being sued and landed another person in the hospital. This week the crew prep for another tattoo convention, this time in Chicago and yes it went precisely as you thought more drama.

Ryan is a hard working business owner, he is exhausted, and who can blame him, he has to run not one but two shops and at the same time have to deal with some ratchet employees. On top of that, he is busy prepping for the tattoo convention coming up in his hometown with only adds to his exhaustion, but he is all about his money and knows the work doesn’t stop. With that said Ryan has to pick and the artist he wants to rep the 9Mag brand he goes with Phor and Van despite his ass getting sued for his terrible work, but they are more confident about this convention this go-around because Charmaine is not in charge of putting it together.

Speaking of Charmaine, it’s her birthday, and even though she no longer works for 9Mag, she still is family, and the crew comes together to celebrate. Ryan salutes her for stepping away and understands she needed a break when he asked her if she was coming back to the shop, Charmaine quickly shut that down with an emphatic nah. But she expresses she still lovers her 9Mag bros.

Back at the shop, Bella, Lily, and Slam catch up. During their conversation, Bella reveals that she has been struggling as a single mother. Her daughter’s father has been non-existent and mentions she wants to take him to court for child support, as she should. The situation is clearly taking its toll on her, and she breaks down in tears talking about it, and who can blame her when you been trying your best to raise a child on your own for 2 years with no help from your baby daddy financially you will eventually break down.

Fast forward, Bella reveals that she managed to get in contact with her daughter’s dad, and he agreed to come to see her. While waiting for him at the shop, she is quickly disappointed to learn that he flaked on his child and instead sends his sister to meet Bella and the child. Bella, even though disappointed, is happy to see her daughters aunt, but now she knows she needs to take his sorry ass to court to get those coins.

It’s convention time, and it turns out to be sort of a reunion. Lily, who wasn’t invited to join the 9Mag crew, decided to show and open up her own booth alongside Reese. Now to refresh your memory, Reese accused Junior — who also conveniently showed up at this tattoo convention  — of hitting her in a previous season, video evidence later cleared him any wrongdoing. Another former 9Mag employee, Cobra who is also at the convention working also claimed she saw Junior put hands on Reese and despite seeing the footage double-downed on her accusation claiming it was doctored. So you can already sense where the energy is going, Van doesn’t make the situation any better when he tells his former co-worker that both of his accusers are there.

Both Junior and his girlfriend are walking around the convention drunk out of their minds, so they are both already on ten. Junior confronts Cobra and the two step outside to have a conversation about the incident. Again Cobra doesn’t apologize and seemingly sticks to her claims that Reese was a victim and Junior doesn’t deserve an apology. The inebriated tattoo artist heard enough and ends the “heart to heart” and heads back inside.

Now, this is where things get spicy, Junior tells his girlfriend what happened, she already doesn’t like Lily after the incident between the two last season. Despite Junior telling her not to approach his former employee, she does so anyway, and an argument breaks out. At first words and drinks were being thrown back and forth before security can get between the both of them.

Things seem to calm down, but somehow security allows Junior’s girlfriend to get close enough to Lily and she grabs her hair and yanks her ponytail. Despite her getting sneaked up on, Lily manages to hold her own. A brawl ensues with Ryan and watching in disappointment and working at the same time. He knows even though Lily and Junior are not there repping the 9Mag, he is somehow gonna be connected to the mess and he is absolutely right. He packs up his gear and bounces understandably upset with what transpired.

Welp, as you can imagine the ratchet shenanigans that went down at the convention plus the Apryl Jones shooting her shot at Ryan on next week’s episode already have #BlackInkChi fans talking. You can peep all the reactions in the gallery below.

Diddy Asks If He Should Bring Back ‘Making The Band’? Twitter Says Hell Yeah!

Leave a comment
Diddy Asks Social Media If He Should Bring Back 'Making The Band' ?

Source: Craig Barritt / Getty

Recently there has been a call for the return of Diddy’s hit reality show Making The Band which has been off the air for a decade. Yesterday (July 8) the Bad Boy CEO revealed that he is indeed thinking about making that happen for the culture.
Combs got the streets talking about the talent search/reality show that gave birth to acts such as Danity Kane, Da Band, Day26 and Donnie Klang when he asked in an Instagram video while getting groomed if he should bring back the show with the hashtag #IWantMyMTB?

MTV added more fuel to the fire with a Tweet featuring Diddy’s video stating “We seriously need @diddy to bring back Making the Band!!” Puff wasted no time in responding, asking if the network has a big enough bag to make it happen?

Diddy understandably has some reservations on bringing the show back being that it would be hard to one-up classic moments from the original show. Also, he is worried that this new age of talent wouldn’t be able to handle the intensity that he displayed throughout the season. BUT, as you can imagine Twitter is salivating at the idea of the return of the show and even Wale and Seth Rogen both confirmed

While this isn’t a clear indication Making The Band is returning, we won’t be shocked if Diddy and MTV have been discussing behind doors how to make it happen and the social media stunt is just some sort of way to build up hype.

The streets clearly want the show back, you can see all the replies in the gallery below.

#BlackInkChi: Ryan & The Shop Sued For Van’s Struggle Tattoo, Charmaine Still Mad, Shine Returns

Leave a comment
2016 VH1's Divas Holiday

Source: Gary Gershoff / Getty

It’s been exactly one week since the 9Mag team’s trip to Miami. Instead of coming back together, the crew came back one short with Charmaine leaving after her brothers chose Lily over her. They are now back home being down one team member is the least of Ryan’s worries.

The episode opens up with Charmaine formally of 9Mag back at her radio station gig. While reflecting on the passing of Nipsey Hussle, she realizes that life is too short for her to be worried about “petty ass drama.” She still feels some kind of way after her “brothers” chose the n-word abuser over her, and we don’t blame her one bit. ‘

Back at her old job, the crew is embracing Lily already. After begging her ass off for a booth in Ryan’s new shop, she decided that new rules and professionalism was not her cup of tea and she rather be knee deep in the drama. Van is sad to see Charmaine go, but he’s happy to have Lily back in the shop because she is a talented artist. Meanwhile in the new 9Mag, while going through his mail Ryan gets a surprise, instead of fan mail, he learns himself, the shop and Van are getting sued for a struggle cover-up tattoo the manager of old 9Mag did on a client that looked like something Donna would have done.

Van’s problems don’t stop there while learning from Ryan about the lawsuit the 9Mag owner informs his brother about another tattoo he did that landed another client in the hospital after it got infected. Ryan is not too happy cause he feels this is making him and his business look funny in the light and in his confessional states if it happens again Van will be “tattooing in a parking lot.”. Ryan also reveals that the client is on the way to talk to Van about the tattoo of his deceased brother that became infected. After a discussion, the client decides he won’t sue due to 9Mag being a black-owned business and to ease things over, Ryan agrees to do his tattoo.

In more Van news, he is also got some drama going on at home. When he wanted to surprise his daughter with the keys to a Land Rover he bought for her birthday, he finds out that his daughter has been smoking weed in the house. Of course, he is upset and decides to not give her the car due to feeling disrespected.

Shine is back on the scene after leaving due to the unprofessionalism he saw first hand. Ryan invites the tattoo artist to do some guest work in his new shop, and he is impressed with how Ryan is running things. While the 9Mag owner is happy to see Shine is back, Van and Don are not too thrilled. Shine could care less how they feel anyway, he is more focused on shooting his shot at Lily.

Last but certainly not least, Don and Ashley are doing house shopping. The couple’s agent takes them to a two-story home, and they immediately fall in love with it. BUT when Don learns the house will cost him damn near $900,000 he realizes that Ashley’s dream home is out of his price range.

Unfortunately, the agent informs Don that they were declined but was approved for a $200,000 loan. Despite the bad news, Don is more determined than ever to get his wife the home she wants.

As you can imagine, there were plenty of thoughts on this episode, especially about Van’s struggle tattoos. You can see all the reactions in the gallery below.

Struggle Reality Star Who Claims Remy Ma Gave Her A Black Eye Arrested For Assault

Leave a comment
Beautycon Festival New York 2019 - Day 1

Source: Noam Galai / Getty

Brittney Taylor seems to be deep-soaked in the struggle. The former Love & Hip Hop: New York star—who happens to be the same one claiming that Remy Ma punched her at a concert in April—was recently arrested for assaulting a woman.

The alleged fade delivery occurred Friday (June 14) in her apartment building.

Reports TMZ:

The “Love & Hip Hop” star got arrested early Friday morning after a fight started in her apartment. Law enforcement sources tell us Brittney and another woman were arguing in Brittney’s midtown pad when things got physical.

Brittney allegedly scratched the woman, leaving marks on her. She fled to an elevator, but we’re told Brittney hopped in another elevator and met the alleged victim in the lobby … where the beatdown continued. She allegedly pulled a Naomi Campbell special — hurling her cell phone and clocking the woman in the forehead.

We’re told Brittney retreated to her apartment, but a little while later NYPD showed up to haul her in for assault and aggravated harassment … both misdemeanors.

She was released without bail.

Wait, Taylor is living in what is being called a Manhatten luxury apartment? Is VH1 footing the bill or nah?

Ceaser Feels Bad For Alex, Tatti Is Salty, Young Bae Vs. Kitty & More #BlackInkCrew Moments

Leave a comment
Hakan Akkaya - Front Row - February 2019 - New York Fashion Week: The Shows

Source: Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty

Last week on Black Ink Crew Donna informed Ceaser about the injury Alex received as a result of getting jumped by both Ted and tattoo shop owner. Now, this week the CEO of Black Ink is feeling sick at the notion that he ruined Alex’s life over nothing.

The episode opens up with Krystal revealing to her new ratchet family that she just found out she has a secret sister that her dad never told her about. The tattoo artist details her non-existent relationship with her father, so she is not surprised at all that he didn’t mention her hidden sibling at all.

Later in the episode, Krystal meets up with her sister for the first time. They have a lot of catching up to do because their father didn’t connect them with each other, so they missed out on a lot of each other lives. It was a very emotional moment with some tears shed over the fact their dad failed them as a parent.

Tatti is still upset that Ted dumped her after she called him out for sneaking around with Krystal. Despite both Ted and Krystal adamantly denying that nothing happened between them Tatti still has some ill feelings towards her new hire and her boyfriend. Krystal doesn’t help matters either because she keeps taking shots at Tatti as well with the shop manager’s frustration clearly building.

Moving along we catch up with Ceaser, and he is looking like someone torched both of his tattoo shops. He is so down in the dumps because the private investigator he hired pretty much confirmed Donna was telling the truth about Alex. Ceaser is sad to learn that because of his actions Alex is no longer able to work and unable to provide child support for his son.

Ted who is just as much responsible for Alex’s injury really didn’t show any form of remorse like his cousin when Sky told him that his former co-worker is seriously hurt. Ceaser is still feeling awful, and Sky suggests maybe its because he lashes out at people who are closest to him too much. She pitches the idea that her “brother” should take a trip with her to Los Angeles. He agrees and feels a location change and some legal weed will help him get over the situation.

Speaking of Alex, he is FED UP. The idea that girl Donna is helping pay child support and doing all of the heavy-lifting literally and figuratively is making him feel like less of a man.

Donna just wants to make sure her man’s spirits are lifted during these troubling times decides to take him to a pottery class. Alex who’s cup has officially runneth over with frustration lashes out at Donna for picking a spot where sitting would be required for an extended period knowing his back injury will not allow it. The date is over before it began with Alex leaving the spot.

Donna chases down her boo, and he lets her have it pretty wishing he never agreed to go to Bae’s wedding or ever agreeing to work at Black Ink cause his back would be perfectly fine still, so he basically blamed Donna for everything. Poor Donna all she was trying to do was make Alex feel better, but you can’t blame him for feeling how he does about the entire situation.

Last but not least, Momma Bae is leaving Harlem and heading back to Korea, and Bae and the Black Ink Crew are sad to see their receptionist and Walt’s savior go. In typical Black Ink fashion, they decided to throw Momma Bae a surprise farewell party featuring a cake and two bootyful strippers. Bae isn’t here for it, but her momma sure was and definitely had herself a good ass time.

While setting up for the party Kitty and Tatti get to talking about Bae’s momma leaving and Kitty basically points out how much of a financial strain Bae’s mom was on the shop.

Tatti being salty still tells Bae what Kitty said about her mom but added some extra fluff to the story infuriating the already sad Young Bae. During a team-building trip, head of HR Sky instructed the crew to air out any unresolved issues they had with each other and Tatti wasted no time calling out Krystal, Tokie and saying Kitty was fake. From there Bae takes over and regurgitates the overexaggerated mess Tatti claims Kit said.

Tempers quickly flare after Kitty states if she had a problem with her friend Young Bae she would have said it to her face. Things get extra spicy between the two “friends” with security having to get in between them.

Unfortunately, we are going to have wait till next week to see how this ratchet kerfuffle pans out. But for now, hit the gallery below to see all the reactions to last night’s episode of Black Ink Crew.

Donna Teams Up With Puma, Des Meets His Dad, Walt Escapes The Projects & More #BlackInkCrew Moments

Leave a comment
Eclec Magazine Party

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty

With Ceaser’s “health scare” behind him, the Black Ink team focuses on the mission to help Walt get the hell out of the projects. The tattoo shop owner is going to have some more significant issues to worry about though.

Ceaser is feeling much better now after dealing what was described as having seriously low blood sugar. Before he heads down to join the crew to gamble, he sits down with the king of ain’t sh*tness Ted who tells his cousin about the argument he had with his “wife” Tati. Ceaser already knows why Tati was mad in the first place, but he entertained Ted’s story and wasn’t shocked at all the couple broke up.

The fallout of the argument is clearly visible when the clan regroups. Tatti is not speaking to Krystal and definitely still believes that something went down between her now ex and her former friend despite having no proof and Krystal confirming nothing happened.

To rub more salt in the wound when Ted finally shows up says hello to Krystal but doesn’t even acknowledge Tati. In doing so though he angers Krystal even more who don’t enjoy the fact she is being used as a tool to fuel Tati’s anger.

Later on in the episode, the Black Ink’s newest team member breaks down while explaining that she is just there to work and doesn’t need to sleep with someone to get to the top.

At the same meeting, Ted asks Momma Bae about the letter she was trying to bring to Ceaser on last week’s episode. After some translation, she hands over the letter to Ceaser that basically broke down the pending lawsuit from Alex due to the injuries he sustained from the brawl at Bae’s wedding rehearsal dinner. Ceaser cannot believe it of course and thinks this is just a scheme for his former employees to get money from him.

With that out of the way, Its time to go gamble. Ceaser tries his luck at the roulette table with things looking good for Walter and him leaving the projects. Feeling himself, the tattoo shop owner decides to put all his chips on black, and that’s where his luck comes to an end losing all of his money. Looks like Walter isn’t leaving the PJs after all.

Things are looking bleak, but guess who is here to save the day? Momma Bae! Turns out Young Bae’s mother is an excellent poker player and despite the language barrier manages to clean up at the tables and wins all of the money Walter needs to land his new apartment. Now it’s all good if you think this was scripted cause we are also sure as hell did but we are happy Walt is upgrading his living arrangements so his kids can visit.

We leave the crew in Foxwoods to head back to Harlem. After an intense phone argument, Sky and her son Des meet up to talk about it. Sky opens up to her youngest son and apologizes to him for the things she said and explains she is still learning to be a mom. She agrees to give him his father’s contact information and the two hug out whatever issues they had.

After getting in contact with him, Des finally links up with his dad. Sky’s son shares his concerns with his father and asks him questions about his relationship with his mother. The answers he gets from his dad definitely may have thrown him for a loop, but the two do have a bonding moment, but Des may have some more questions for his mom when he sees her.

Donna is on a mission to make Ceaser pay for messing up Alex’s back and maker their lives difficult. With Alex no longer being able to tattoo anymore, Donna has to carry the financial load and needs to find more work. So she comes up with the idea to ask Puma (Ceaser’s nemesis) if she can work at his shop Art 2 Ink. While he will jump at the opportunity to make Ceaser suffer he is very reluctant to bring Donna on cause she comes with drama. After hearing her argument, Puma can’t resist at a chance to hurt Ceaser’s business and hires Donna.

With her job secured and her plan to take down Ceaser coming together, Donna meets up with her former boss to discuss the lawsuit. As you can imagine the meeting doesn’t go very well with Ceaser thinking Alex is lying about his injury despite Donna breaking down the full extent of them and vowing to take down both of former employees and defeating their lawsuit. Looks like this battle will go on all season long.
