- Last time on Star... - I'm calling it
Rhythm and Bells.
A music and multimedia festival.
Mateo asked me to come on as a consultant.
You're stealing money from our investors
- to feed your addiction? - You know anything
- about Bankhead Crew? - I got arrested.
Now let me out of this place!
You'll be placed under...
... 72-hour psych hold.
I've been watching you for a while.
Bianca was sitting next to you on the plane
- and I got jealous. - Your sister is different.
That wasn't my sister.
He knows about Carlotta.
How did Mateo figure out about it?
I trusted you.
It's time to renegotiate my deal.
Negotiations end once you sign.
My new lawyer seems to think otherwise.
So I'm-a get me some therapy.
There's this retreat in Jamaica
that Ayanna told me about.
- What the hell is this? - Olivia said she'd been
watching me for a while.
Cassie killed your daddy.
She ain't tell you that?
Star! We love you, Simone!
Instead of nodding at your man,
why don't you invite him over to be here with us?
He's not my man, as you know.
We just... we're making music together.
Yeah, baby-making music.
Y'all are all over Scoopish.
And every other gossip site.
So tonight, instead of focusing on the gossip,
let's concentrate on what we came here to do:
keep this festival going for Carlotta.
Yeah. Touché.
- I miss her. - Me, too.
But she's got to stay where she's at and rest.
It's our job to get these people excited
about Rhythm and Bells.
Think Alex is coming?
I hope so.
She's really going through it.
Forget about that sex tape.
Show them Alex Crane doesn't break easy.
Alex, how does it feel to be just like your father?
Excuse me. Give her some room, please.
Is it true you used the sex tape
- to kick off your solo career? - No.
Derek, Derek. What's next for you?
What do you mean, next?
I should go look for the girls.
You've been releasing a lot of independent music,
but no chart-topping hits.
Is quality better than quantity?
What?
I-I like to believe I can do both, thank you.
Come on.
Alex, girl, I'm so happy you're here.
I just really hope we dodge all the drama tonight.
There's all the drama.
Let's go.
Hey. All right, when y'all get in there,
make sure you mention Take 3 will be performing
new music off the new album
at the Rhythm and Bells festival.
That's right. I did hear that
you conned your way into a job at Gravity.
Ticket sales have been down.
That's 'cause y'all don't know how to promote a festival
without Miss Carlotta.
But I know business which is why I brought in
a new headliner who is loud,
brash and very controversial.
- What up, fools? - Lil Dini?
Are you kidding me? This dude is a joke.
Yeah!
Man, he treats women like trash.
What up, playboy?
Yeah, boy!
Carlotta would never have this guy at the festival.

Welcome, welcome, welcome
to Gravity Media's Live Stream Q&A.
And the first question is for me.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, uh,
"Noah, who has been inspiring
"your love songs you've been putting out?"
Uh, to be honest, I-I've actually just been
in a great...
Great place musically...
And...
Oh, my bad, dawg.
You, uh, you got to excuse my bitches.
- Pimps up... - Hos down!
Please go back to the dark corners
of the exploitation era you crawled out of.
Whoa. No, I'm just trying to spice it up a little bit.
You guys need fans and guess what?
I bring 'em when...
♪ I bring me ♪
Hey, how're you holding up?
I'm not discussing this with you.
Well, are you talking to somebody?
- Because it's... - No, I'm good.
Leave it alone.
Yeah, we've been working really, really hard on
this project, so it's really...
We know you love working hard, Alex.
Freak.
All these jokes and no talent.
Says the young lady who was copping my flow
on "There For You."
Um, does anybody recognize his flow?
- On anything? - Those are those
raging pregnancy hormones
- that got you messed up. - Absolutely.
- What is this, Love & Hip Hop? - Oh, it can be.
- It can be Love & Hip Hop... - No, no, no, no. Look, look.
Oh, hold her! Hold her!
Come on, come on, come on.
Unbecoming of a pregnant woman.
I am so sorry for his behavior, y'all.
I cannot wait to see you at Rhythm and Bells with my girls.
Oh, no.
What I should do is go back out there and shank his ass.
Oh, calm down, Kill Bill.
Look, maybe we should just boycott this festival
until Mateo pulls him out.
No, you can't do that either.
Then you'll be in breach of contract.
You'll kill Carlotta's whole event and her job.
Well, then why don't we post a video to our fans
that we do not condone Lil Dini's politics
or woman-hating ways.
- And then we jump him. - You just want to fight.
Here. Let's shoot this video.
We'll start with that.
- Let's do it. - All right.
All right, let's go.
Attention all Take 3 fans.
We need your support.
Rhythm and Bells Festival is all about non-violence,
- music and community. - So, help us
- get Gravity Media to dump Dini. - Yes.
#DumpDini.
Baby. Why're you so sexy?
- Delete it. - Damn.
- Delete it, I'm serious. - Why?
- Please don't delete it. - I'm not gonna have pics
all over the Internet.
You saw what just happened to Alex.
I don't know if you noticed, but we're about to have
a kid together and you still don't trust me.
I'm having a baby in two months; people expect me to fail at that
and at my solo album.
Then let's get to work.
- Okay? - Okay.
I feel like I need something new.
Something fresh.
The stuff Noah's been working on is cool.
Maybe that could work.
You want to work with your ex?
Noah is not my ex.
How many times have we been through this?
You know exactly what it was.
I'm saying that a duet could be cool.
I'm supposed to be okay with this?
Yes, you're supposed to be cool with that.
Do you want, like, a space or something?
Or a drawer?
It's cool; I've been living out this bag my whole life.
I'm not getting rid of this bag.
Mm, I think it's time.
- It's not. - Baby.
- You want me to help you? - Don't talk about my bag.
Your bag is fine.
Damn.
You don't keep your eye on the target like you used to.
But I can still pop your ass, no cap.
Hmm.
Ran into the chief of police at a fundraiser tonight.
Really?
He said they have an informant
running around your club.
Well, look, I'm clean outside of your dirt.
My dirt keeps the bills paid.
Now...
We got a rat problem.
And we can't have them interfering
with our business agreement.
Or I'll be forced to shut down our little club.
And I don't want to do that.
Trust me, you won't have to.
Hmm.
Yep.
Good girl.
Good girl, my ass.
You got that look in your eyes; yeah, I'm here for that, too.
Who is this girl that got you all in your feelings?
Who said that there's a her?
I mean, you sitting here
with the lights all dim and this butter-smooth music
like you D'Angelo or somebody.
Got to be something.
All right, I'm-I'm seeing this girl.
What's the hesitation?
And I ain't supposed to be dating this soon in my sobriety.
You put too much on your plate,
you gonna break the whole damn table.
But how do you control it?
Relationships, they find you.
You don't find them.
Yeah, well.
To be fair, I don't think I could handle another loss.
Then don't speak it into existence.
You sound like my pops.
Yeah.
Gay minds think alike.
Girl, I know that smile.
You having a thot process.
- Stop it, bitch. - So you in a relationship
and you ain't broadcasting?
- Bitch, it's so complicated. - Run me the tea.
Girl, why this man related to one of my friends?
And I ain't trying to get caught in no mess.
Mm-mm. No, you got to tell your friend the truth.
'Cause, girl, secrets destroy everything.
Look at what it did to my damn family.
What, is it about your Auntie Cassie?
'Cause she called me and told me
you ain't been in the club in weeks or called her back.
Ain't nothing. I just miss my mama.
Yeah. I understand that.
But maybe you should call her back.
For the bitch to call my phone, and she know
I'm not using her right now,
she must really be worried.
Just call her back. You know she loves you.
_
So...
Principal Sportswear is thinking about dropping me
because of this damn sex tape.
I'm sorry.
Well, don't be.
I'm sick of sitting around waiting for another damn thing
to happen to me.
See, that's what I was saying, like,
you got to put yourself in front...
I know. Which is why I called Mateo this morning.
I'm thinking about shooting digital content
of my life behind the music.
Wait, so you actually want to get on camera?
I just feel like I lost myself with everything that's going on.
And the only way to get that back
is if I put myself out there.
Even if I hate it.
I'm gonna go lay down.
Hello?
Yeah, I was just about to call you. Yeah.
I can still meet.
What time?
If this isn't about business, I got nothing to say to you.
Mateo and the investors,
they're looking to save money.
They're-they're cutting Black Ivy.
Damn.
Well, there's got to be some way that we can
get this movie back on track, I mean...
Well, right now, one of the hottest commodities
that we can exploit is...
- Jackson? - I mean, he's got a huge IG following,
looks like Channing Tatum, and he's cheap as dirt.
We could shoot a trailer of the last scene in the movie,
influence investors to at least keep this project alive.
So, you guys want me to do a lovemaking scene
with my sister's baby daddy?
You're right. You're right.
I don't... What was I thinking?
No, no, it's...
Look, it's fine. I'll do it.
Purple orchids for Megan Jetter.
Yeah, same-same address as yesterday. Thanks.
Get out of that damn chair
before I snatch your black ass up!
- What now, Cassie? - Where's the wire, snitch?
I know you been talking to the cops.
Yo, you're tripping. You legit, right?
How is this partnership gonna work
when I can't even trust you, Maurice?
You're talking about trust,
and you're up in here looking for wires?
Well, at least I keep my word,
unlike your shady ass, backdooring
- to get my sister's job. - Wait a minute.
You came out trying to steal Carlotta's clients,
now you're judging me for finishing the job?
That's my sister, I can do that.
I just got put in charge of saving Carlotta's R&B fest.
- You know what that means? - No.
It means I'm one step closer
to building my music empire.
Our empire.
Well, that name's taken anyway.
Now, you done searching me, boss?
For now.
So, you're going full Kardashian on me now?
Uh, no. I refuse to be another ratchet black girl
on reality TV, okay?
I'm just trying to wrap my head around
getting in front of a camera again.
Well, if you really want people to tune in,
I suggest getting E.P. in there.
What are you... what are you talking about?
What's E.P.?
Uh, she hasn't been online for a while, Star.
Oh. You don't know?
Social media has named your boyfriend "Brotha Eggplant."
Nice.
I'm-I'm done.
- I hate the Internet. Officially. - Well,
it's not going nowhere, so use it.
Lean into it, like I did with my baby daddy drama.
- It worked. - Did it?
Yeah, um, speaking of, like, eggplants
and baby daddies and all, uh...
I just wanted to let you know that...
Jackson's gonna be in the movie,
and I have to kiss him.
Oh. That's awkward.
Jackson's gonna be in the movie?
Trust me, I really don't want to do this.
Baby, I could care less. I'm just mad because
I've been working my ass off every day,
and this dude shoots to the top because a condom broke?
Mm-hmm. Yep.
You want to know what that's called?
- What? - White male privilege.
- Okay. - Oh...
- That was... that was crazy. - In the flesh.
Man, you guys are gonna be, like, sharing saliva.
- That's weird. - I'm gonna barf.
Ladies, have a seat.
So, your "Dump Dini" hashtag actually gained some traction.
- Oh, you're welcome. - That was the plan.
Yeah, but we can't have all this bad press,
so y'all got to squash this beef
so we can get this festival back on track.
Oh, okay. Squash the beef.
I'm not trying to ruin the festival.
Okay, Maurice has explained to me that it's going to help
both of our careers, you know, if we work together.
So, let's call a truce. I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have came in hot like that.
Is that all you got, is that the end of your speech?
That's what we came here for?
I mean, what, you want me to change who I am?
That would be great, starting with the Christmas tree tattoo
on the side of your face.
- That's disrespect. - Look,
if you want to be a part of this festival,
you can't treat women like dogs.
- Period. - And call yourself a pimp,
and promote violence against women.
I'm not promo... First of all,
that's your definition of the word "pimp." Pimping.
My-my version, okay, it's just somebody that comes in
and manipulates the situation,
and then helps it to work out in their favor.
But you can't change the definition of a word.
And I can't unwrite my songs, either.
So what do you want me to do?
What I'd like for you to do is take that apology
that you just gave us, and give it to your mother,
who deserves it, 'cause we don't need this. Boy, bye.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Lil Dini, look, if you want to be a part of this,
you got to come correct.
Come on, bro.
I do want to be a part of this, so I'm sorry,
and I'll put out a statement.
Better be good.
I knew his ass would crack.
Yep. Are we done?
Niece, where you been?
Tied up with Jayden,
and trying to help out more around here
since Mama's gone.
That's good she's taking a break.
You know, sometimes when God wants us to relax,
he slows us down.
God didn't have nothing to do with this.
Cotton, are you okay?
Is something bothering you?
What happened to you helping me find my father's killer?
I've been busy at the club.
So, should I maybe figure it out myself, you think?
No, I think you should chill and let me figure...
- Auntie Cassie! - Hey.
Mama's taking me to get pizza. You should come.
I would, but I got to get back to the club.
Y'all have a good time, okay?
What do you think?
Yeah, it's getting there.
- Getting there? Come on. - It's getting there.
- It's dope. It's the same thing. - Baby...
It means the same thing.
- I'm not kissing you. - Why?
'Cause I'm not about to kiss the same dude
who's kissing my sister.
Well, technically, that hasn't happened yet.
I still can't believe
they're about to put me in that movie, though.
Me either.
I got it.
- Hey. - Hey.
- Thanks for coming. - Oh, no worries.
I was just holed up in my studio.
It'd be nice to, uh, try out some new digs.
This place is crazy. What up, Jackson?
Nothing, man. I was just leaving.
I got an audition.
Hey, you know, um...
you know I was in that first.
I know what they're looking for,
so if you-you want any tips, holler at me.
Okay, yeah, that...
that went well.
Are you sure ole boy's all right with this?
Probably would've helped if you didn't start with,
"I was up in that first."
- I said that? - Yes, you did.
- Oh, that's messed up. - Oh, my God.
What'd you think about the lyrics I sent?
Kind of different from the boss-bitch stuff, but, um...
- Thanks. - I like it.
I didn't know pretty boy could pull out that kind of emotion.
It's not even about him.
- Okay. - Can you focus?
I mean, I'm just, I'm just trying to understand, like,
if you're sleeping with somebody
and you're writing love songs,
usually it's about them.
How do you know I'm sleeping with him?
I-I mean, you know, I don't know, you know, I...
Pssh. There's no signs at all
- saying anything. - Oh, my God.
Play it.
Okay, okay.
- Can I be honest? - Yep.
Um, I think it could use a little work.
All right, that's why you're here; do your magic.
All right.
A go-bag, huh?
I didn't know denial would look good on you.
I take that thing everywhere I go.
Leave me alone.
We've all become family,
- almost instantly... - Hey, babe.
- And that's Derek. - What's going on?
- No, don't do that. - Hey, you. Wha... ?
No heads-up? No nothing?
You were in the shower.
Uh, give us a minute.
What are, what are you doing?
You know I don't like cameras in my house like that.
I told you I was gonna do this.
Not in here. Not with me.
Well, where else?
Figure it out. You're trippin'.
I guess this is good-bye.
This isn't good-bye.
I'm not letting you leave.
I don't think I can stay much longer.
You have to. You have my heart, Luna.
Wait, you know what,
let's just take that back for a second
and just... let go.
Just don't think about anything.
Yeah. Let it go. Okay.
You have my heart, Luna.
I'm sorry, I can't.
I just... I know where his mouth has been.
Well, let's just cut everything for a second,
and we can just... we can work on this another time.
Thank you, Jacks.
I can't pitch this garbage to our investors.
It needs work, okay?
But Black Ivy was supposed to launch Gravity Indie Film.
We don't have enough money to go around.
First you gamble our money,
and now you're too afraid to go to the investors
to fight for my passion project?
You gonna pick the phone up?
It's rang, like, five times.
- Uh, come on, now. - Oh, who's Megan?
- Who is it? - Some privacy, please.
All right. So, I got a go-bag,
but at least I'm not ghosting nobody.
It's called taking it slow, Star.
All right, I...
I don't want to make the same mistakes
- I made before. - Right.
Well, I guess we're messed up
in all the same ways.
No, we're not.
All right? You're pushing off a relationship
because you're too afraid it's gonna ruin your career.
It's not about a career.
Then what's it about?
Hey, you're just in time. We're about to cut vocals.
Actually, I had some thoughts about the track.
Cool. Uh, Noah made some adjustments.
You should hear them. They're dope.
All right, let me hear it.
Cool.
I'm ready when y'all are.

I want to apologize to-to my fans,
Take 3's fans.
I really just wanted to preview a song that me
and Take 3 have been working on,
share it from my heart.

Take that gremlin's video off the Gravity Media page now
- before we sue his ass. - Why, Star?
Web traffic has surpassed our biggest day,
and his video has double the amount of hits as yours.
Is that all you care about?
When you should be standing up to this coward
about his misogyny.
Look, we're all professionals.
Are we?
'Cause all I see is you,
an unprofessional scumbag, and one dude
who needs to climb back on to the romance novel cover
- he climbed off of. - Listen, Star,
you're gonna have to get a tougher skin.
You have no idea how tough our skin is.
That's good to know because unless you want to be
in breach of contract, you will keep promoting this festival,
starting with your performance tonight at Karma.
Got it?
Working hard is what's gonna make you a star.
Yeah, well, I...
just I'm sad I couldn't do that during the chemistry read.
I just can't get over the fact
that I'm kissing Star's baby daddy.
Yeah.
Do you know why I want this movie?
It speaks to me, personally.
She steps out of her comfort zone to find herself.
That's my life.
Simone, why do you want this movie?
It's the first thing that's all mine.
You know, I...
I want this just as much as Star wants her music.
Good.
Then we got to fight for it.
Why don't you... I don't know,
why don't you imagine that Jackson's somebody else?
Somebody that you care about,
like your husband.
Yeah.
Hey.
You know you could've just sent a messenger.
I want to talk to you about the flowers you sent.
They were a reminder
that you were a wonderful wife and mother.
We made a beautiful baby.
I can't go there.
Look, you can't keep blaming yourself, either.
You'll never know how it felt to find her in that crib.
That guilt, that pain will be with me forever.
Why the hell would I want to remember that?
Baby, I'm sorry. That wasn't my intention.
Yeah, well, you weren't there that night.
Look, I've spent every waking moment
trying to make up for that.
I can't bring Kayla back,
but at least I can finally give you the life you deserve.
Megan?
It's like that?
Megan, what... ?
Yo, back-back up.
- Get your hands off me. - Hey! Stop, Maurice.
- Noah, stop it. Stop. - What?
Stop.
Get off me.
- Noah. - Don't touch me.
You've got this. Okay?
- Let's go. - Okay.
- All right.
- She ready? - Yeah.
- Hey. - You good?
Yeah, yeah.
All right, here we go, guys. Picture's up.
- And... - Okay.
- Ready? - Yeah.
Okay.
So I have an idea. How about, um,
I pretend that you're Angel, my husband, and then...
- you pretend I'm Star. - How's it going?
I didn't invite you to set.
And action.
I can't believe this is the last time I'm seeing you for a while.
I know, I can't believe I have to leave like this.
I'll be waiting for you when you get back.
You'll always have my heart, Luna.
Cut.
That was amazing!
That was amazing.
Thank you.
You saw the crowd out there?
I can't believe we got to share the stage
with this fake Iceberg Slim.
What happened to your face?
- I-I need a drink. - No, you don't.
Noah.
I'll get you a water, though.
- Let me explain. - No, no, no.
You ain't got nothing to say to me.
All right? We good.
Maurice and I lost a child.
Today is the anniversary of our daughter's death.
He was comforting me
and things sped out of control.
I'm sorry. All right, I...
- I didn't know. - I thought
I could block out some of that pain being with you,
but this has...
I get it.
All right, I'm...
I'm just, I'm just getting sober now
and-and, you know, this whole Maurice thing
is just too deep for me
- right now to handle it. I... - I get it. Um...
I'm happy to still act as your attorney,
or I can refer you to someone else.
It's Lil Dini in this thing.
I got a brand-new album coming out.
Make sure y'all cop the new album.
Show some love, you feel me?
Now what I need y'all to do is just,
you know, stay in your seats and show them some love
and remember this concept: Pimps up!
- Hos down! - Ay!
A-Town's down, all right, all right.
'Sup, y'all?
Lil Dini ain't a pimp.
He's from Buckhead.
Born and raised, right?
He's never been shot, he's never seen anybody dead.
His name is Stephen Pardini.
And Stephen lives with both his parents.
And Stephen's parents got a real nice marriage.

You're doing too much.
Okay? Y'all are real disrespectful.
Boy, don't you dare disrespect women again.
You know where the hell you came from?
- Africa. - And what they call that?
The fatherland or the motherland?
Girls up, pimps down.
One more time.
Girls up, pimps down!
Take 3! Take 3!
Take 3! Take 3! Take 3!
Bruce, how did you get all that dirt on Lil Dini?
Bitch, it pays to have played with the soundman.
Mm... I'm sorry, what?
You know, the only way to end a bully
is to gut him like a fish.
And that's what we did tonight, ladies.
Depends on who the bully is.
_
Ah, Miss Bruce got some new trade?
Uh, this is more than trade, bitch,
this is husband material.
- Oh, okay. - Okay.
The girls can't take me, honey.
'Cause I got that glow, girl.
You got your pregnant glow, girl.
Let me get me one.
Okay. I'm-a follow you out.
The camera guy got some good stuff tonight
for the docuseries.
I think this is all gonna cut together nicely.
Look at Lil Dini's face, right there.
Aw, he looks so stupid.
I can't believe you're gonna have a show.
Just let me be the Jordyn to your Kylie.
Please.
And what am I?
Stormi, the baby.
You don't deserve to be in this family anymore.
Look, I'm not the one breaking family rules, talking to 5-0.
I was trying to figure out what happened to my father.
What are you looking for? It's right here.
Move again.
You see, I grew up without a dad.
Then I got one, and he accepted me.
He accepted me like no man ever will.
And you took him from me. You...
Hey, you know what?
Do it.
Pull the trigger. I deserve it.
Just know killing me ain't gonna make you feel better.
Shut up.
- It's gonna change you. - Shut up!
It's gonna change you the way
it changed me, Cotton.
I hate you.
I hate myself
for breaking this whole family apart.
It's like a cycle with us. It just keeps going and going.
And the only one strong enough
to make it stop and bring us all back together is you.
I went to the liquor store.
I was just gonna go home and drink.
Instead I ended up here.
You could never be the cause of me relapsing.
I'm in a great place with you,
and I'm damn sure not about to let that go.
Come here.
I'll have to call you back. All right, great.
- Hey. - Hey.
You said you wanted to see me in person,
so I'm guessing that it's bad news?
The investors, they're willing to put the money behind it.
And, I-I'm sorry.
I-I never meant to betray you, Simone.
I know. You know, when you told me
that I should imagine kissing someone that I cared about,
I didn't think about my husband.
I thought about you.
I don't know what this means, but...
I know that I love my husband, and...
I have to go.
But congrats.
You, too.
Hey, baby.
I didn't know you were coming tonight.
Yeah, I did. Had to leave early, though, but...
- Really, Derek? - Come on...
Uh, is this payback for Noah, or something?
- I did not cheat on you. - No, don't. Don't!
I can't tell you how many times I heard that growing up.
Before I say the wrong thing, I'm-a walk outside,
- and you just take a minute. - No.
- Yes. - Derek, do not walk out!
Star, do you think I'm stupid or something?
Huh?
Writing songs about Noah.
That song was not about him.
I've put you off a lot, and I'm wrong for that.
- Look pretty. - What are you doing?
- Make a cute face. - Stop.
You like that filter?
Are you serious right now?
- Instagram official? - Mm-hmm.
You know that's like marriage these days, right?
Mm-hmm.
Ooh, look who gave us our fist like: Noah.
Doesn't ring a bell.
She's suspicious.
Are you gonna tell her about us?
What do you think is gonna happen if I let her know
I'm a criminal informant?
Then you shouldn't have been caught
with the Bankhead Crew that day.
I was just trying to get in with them.
I want justice for my grandma, okay?
The faster you help us figure out
what dirt they're doing out of that club,
the sooner we can turn one of them out
into giving up your grandma's rapist.
Do you understand?
Yeah.
Then I'll be in touch.
