Spillin The Tea × Roquel Weathers #EP002 •London Carter-King

ROQUEL WEATHERS: Hello world, it's your girl Roquel and these last few months I've been very busy, hosting different gig's, doing different shows and making a name for myself in Hollywood Chile.

Roquel flips her hair to the side and snaps her fingers.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: Tonight I'm sitting down with my boo London Carter-King and you already know when we sit down, it'll be a ole shady session. If you didn't know #theLIFELAMIA is returning for another season and of course most of your favorites have already signed on, including Mr. King himself.

Roquel smirks.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: We all know London is known for quitting the show, while others have put it he needs the show since it's his only check and now baby that's not coming from me but that's what is being said in these streets. I have so much to talk about with this boy, so London bring that ass here boy.

Motorsport by Migos plays in the background, the small studio audience stand to their feet as London makes his way from the back. He walks over to Roquel embracing her with a long hug, he turns and sits down on the couch opposite of Roquel.

LONDON CARTER-KING: Miss Weathers! It's been to long.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: I've said the same thing, if no one knew, London and I have actually hung outside of the show, were real friends and have some done business together.

LONDON CARTER-KING: They know now.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: You knew once I heard LA was coming back, I had to get my one on one with you first before the others try and reel you in. LA is coming back in June and from what I heard it's already drama.

LONDON CARTER-KING: it's sad to say but with this group of guys you should always expect some sort of drama. It's still early filming so there hasn't been many interactions.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: President is coming back full-time, even after the death of his parents I'm surprised he wanted to do this.

LONDON CARTER-KING: It's been a hard journey for President but he's been keeping himself busy, especially when it comes to his jobs. I think this was an opportunity for him to stay even more busy and also let the world in on what's been going on with him.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: Are you two good this season?

LONDON CARTER-KING: Yes President and I have been good for years.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: I remember first and second season you two were sort of against each other.

LONDON CARTER-KING: It was petty drama that we let go of, it's way to much going on in life.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: How are you and Anthony?

LONDON CARTER-KING: You still rocking the last name King and this ring.

London flashes the ring at the camera.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: I hear that, I love y'all together.

LONDON CARTER-KING: We've been together for 5+ years on and off, and known each other longer. It's just natural, and after all that drama we went through last year just wasn't worth it.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: Kids?

LONDON CARTER-KING: We've talked about it but we're find playing uncles to my nephews. Anthony is always working and traveling and it's the same with me, it wouldn't make sense to do it now, I'm still securing this bag.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: Will we see Anthony on the show?

LONDON CARTER-KING: He makes a couple appearances.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: I'm happy to see Brandon coming back.

LONDON CARTER-KING: That is my little brother like forreal. We've become so close since him signing onto the show, we actually have a real friendship too.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: But lately he's been dry, look the Brandon I saw before was ready to turn up, but now not so much.

LONDON CARTER-KING: That's a good thing though, he's getting older and snatching deals so looking at it from a professional mindset it's not a good look to be on TV fighting and acting fool, that's ahem endorsements stop.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: That's real and so true. But what's been going on with you Chile? Word in these streets is that your struggling for a coin.

LONDON CARTER-KING: I can't believe in 2018 people are still worried about what London is doing. I've said it before, this show is my baby and if I want to quit, rejoin, take a break or whatever then it's my business. I'm not stopping anyone else's bag so why are they concerned about mine?

ROQUEL WEATHERS: I'm all for it baby.

LONDON CARTER-KING: What happened last season was uncalled for. I made my exit because production wanted to stir up drama and mess with people's personal lives and I get it we're all on this show and it's suppose to document our lives but some shit should not play out on TV. Anthony and I were finally getting back to how we were and production wants to bring old friends into the situation and stir up shit.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: You mean Ryan Bishop?

LONDON CARTER-KING: Yes, and then production had Ryan go film with both Levi and Carlos inquiring about a fake position.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: Speaking of Ryan, where is he? And your saying he never worked for Carlos at Lush.

LONDON CARTER-KING: Hell no.

London laughs.

LONDON CARTER-KING: Ryan doesn't need to work, let's just say that. He likes to make appearances and party in VIP but to actually show up and work everyday, nah.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: Why is it that you and Carlos can't be friends again?

LONDON CARTER-KING: There was a chance we could have fixed our friendship, but that opportunity went out the door when he decided get involved with Levi and the situation we had going on. Carlos is fake, I'll just leave it at that. And you already know I said I won't spend to much time talking about him.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: Back to LA though, I see that Yosef and Richie Rich are coming back.

LONDON CARTER-KING: And I'm excited to see them back, that whole engagement and breakup shocked the hell out of me and to see them now with different people.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: Richie Rich hasn't confirmed a relationship with that boy Yeshua, but we all know their together but who is Yosef dating? Spill the tea Chile.

LONDON CARTER-KING: Nah I can't say, you'll just have to watch the show and see. But I won't really confirm that he's with someone but I know he's been hanging out with someone who isn't Richie.

London winks at the camera.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: I get it, we have to wait and see. Micah, Dae Suk, and Delonte are coming back I hear.

LONDON CARTER-KING: All had great stories last season so it only made sense.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: I know you do have a say and who stays and goes, so what do you look for when choosing a cast member?

LONDON CARTER-KING: Well let's get this straight, I don't do the hiring or firing, now the execs may ask for my input but they make the final decision. But honestly we look for someone fun, someone with a story, and you have something going for yourself.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: So even with the drama going on between you and Carlos, I'm surprised you haven't tried to get him fired.

LONDON CARTER-KING: I would never try and stop anyone's bag or take food off anyone's plate. Carlos and I along with President and Ephraim started this whole franchise so his presence on the show is important. I don't have to like him for him to be on this show, I don't have to see him or film with him so it doesn't matter to me.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: What's your feelings with the Brandon and Jaser beef? Do you consider Brandon an OG?

LONDON CARTER-KING: Ha Brandon is like my little brother, but sometimes I've said he takes it a little to far. I get he wants his respect or homage but it's a way to go about it. Brandon actually casted for the first season of Miami but his contract and appearances didn't start until season 2. So I don't know how to really answer that, technically Carlos, President, and I are the OG'S since we've been on since day one but Brandon has seniority to, but to answer your question I think the beef is ridiculous and it should stopped before it gets way to out of hand. Both have anger issues it seems like and I think them two together would be chaotic.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: Drama and fights.

LONDON CARTER-KING: What the world wants to see.

London shakes his head.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: Spill the tea on the pay, what were you guys making when the show first aired and what is the pay now?

LONDON CARTER-KING: You are so nosey ha, but when I know when the Miami cast first started we were only getting paid $2,500 an episode. The reunion we got an extra $5,000 to make an appearance and it stayed that way the first 3 seasons. By the 4th season and the one were filming now, the pay has increased.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: How much?

LONDON CARTER-KING: That's none of your business ha, but it was the same with ATL the first two season but we have a bigger budget and since ATL was such a huge hit, they were able to get an early pay increase for this upcoming season.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: I really hope you stay the whole season.

LONDON CARTER-KING: I am girl, don't be shady. Now that President is back full time and with everything going on in my life I don't have time for the drama and I only want to have fun this season.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: I hear that, I'm excited to see President back to, why do you think he was so against being on the show? I mean on the 3rd and 4th season he was barely around.

LONDON CARTER-KING: President really hates drama, and he had so much going on his life that he just didn't want to deal with the show and everything that came with it. President and I became really good friends despite our drama we had first season and whether on camera or off camera I wanted to be there for him.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: Please tell me he turns up this season.

LONDON CARTER-KING: I can't really say ha, but let's just say President is back.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: Any chance of Ephraim returning?

LONDON CARTER-KING: I haven't talked to Ephraim in a long time, there was talk of him coming back last season but we never got a signed contract and it just kind of fell off. But I have no issues with Ephraim at all, like I said he will always and forever be an OG, two seasons with his crazy ass.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: So can you tell us what happened to the Philly franchise?

LONDON CARTER-KING: It was rushed. Philly was going to take LA’s place since our franchise was being put on hiatus. But after a meeting we had, they stopped production on Philly and advised us that Miami and LA was coming back.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: Will we ever see another city added?

LONDON CARTER-KING: We've talked about it, but haven't made a decision yet. I kind of want to go international though.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: Ooh maybe London or Australia?

LONDON CARTER-KING: I would love that, it would be different.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: London please allow us to have a reunion this season, we've had to many reunions that didn't finish.

LONDON CARTER-KING: The problem with these reunions is that it reminds us of what we went through during the season, it makes everyone emotional so I see why people get so turned up. But season 5 I'll make sure we actually have a full reunion.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: Can you tell us what else is happening over at MIL? Any other shows coming?

LONDON CARTER-KING: To be honest I don't know everything but I do know there have been talks and meetings about bringing other entertainment like talk shows and maybe sitcoms. I do know that there will be another season of #theLIFEATL and #VixenDiaries.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: I can't wait for Vixen Diaries.

LONDON CARTER-KING: Good show and I hear this season is going to be really good.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: I really want to see you and Carlos sit down and really talk it out London.

London smirks, rolling his eyes.

LONDON CARTER-KING: I don't know if I trust him enough to even sit down with him. Carlos has done a lot of negative things to me off camera that you all may not know about. I'm at a place where I can be in the same room and not have a reaction, but we will never be friends.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: Overall both franchises of #theLIFE have been successful, did you and Y’layna ever expect for this show to be so huge?

LONDON CARTER-KING: When we pitched the idea of the show, we never expected for it to be this big. But we knew it would be successful. 5 seasons in I guess we're doing something right.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: Speaking of Y’layna, you two had your issues but seem to patch everything up. Your issue with her was she brought Levi on the show without you knowing, correct?

LONDON CARTER-KING: My whole issue at the time was Yes, she did hire Levi knowing I had a personal deep issue with him. I felt as though as a friend we should have had the conversation first instead of me being blindsided. But we did get past it and she did apologize and we're great. I live in Miami full time so when I'm in LA we try and make time to see each other.

ROQUEL WEATHERS: London I thank you for sitting down with me and doing this. Again I'm happy to see LA coming back and you too.

LONDON CARTER-KING: Thank you for having me, so can we go grab drinks now?

ROQUEL WEATHERS: Chile, lets go. Bye Boo!
