#theLIFENY🌃 SEASON 1 • EP 004 • KAREN IS MAD HONEY!

The scene opens up in Harlem, NY the Manhattanville area aka West Harlem. Blaze is shown standing outside his grandmother's house with his son Nico Jr and his mother Lisa, the two watch Nico Jr as he plays with a few of his toys in the yard.



NIKKO “BLAZE” COLE: My mom called me and said she wanted me to bring little Nico over to my grandmother's house, she was cooking dinner and was trying to get the family together to enjoy my release from prison. I respect the gesture but my moms already know me and the whole family don’t really get along, when I was down and out I couldn’t really call on any of those people to help me out, so I just left them where they left me.

The scene cuts back to Blaze and his mother outside.

LISA COLE: Thank you for coming Nikko, I didn’t think you would.

NIKKO “BLAZE” COLE: I didn’t want to, but I don’t have any issues with grandma plus I know she wants to see my son, I don’t really have to engage with everyone here.

LISA COLE: I think you should, it’s time to fix these broken relationships son. We have a rocky relationship but we always seem to work it out.

NIKKO “BLAZE” COLE: You're my mother, I don’t care how mad you make me I will always be your son. Just don’t try and force these relationships on me, I’m good. I have what I need right in front of my eyes.

LISA COLE: I understand son, but I do want to tell you that I invited your father.

Blaze rolls his eyes, the blood starts rushing through his veins and his anger boils inside his body.

NIKKO “BLAZE” COLE: Why would you invite that nigga here? He’s one of the reasons why I was put in jail.

LISA COLE: Son.

NIKKO “BLAZE” COLE: That’s some fucked up shit.

LISA COLE: Watch your mouth boy, I’m still your mother and he is still your father and I don’t care how old you get you will learn to respect both of us. He just wants to see his grandson and possibly have a conversation with his son so can you give him at least that.

NIKKO “BLAZE” COLE: I already told you that nigga was dead to me. Let’s go Nico!

Blaze walks over to Nico grabbing his arm, he picks up the toys from the group and he walks over to his car. He places Nico in the car seat in the backseat and he turns and looks at his mom.



NIKKO “BLAZE” COLE: Me and my pops don’t have a good relationship, I felt like he out of all the people should have been the one to have my back the most and he let me down, I’m not ready to have that conversation with him, not here and not in front of my son.

The scene cuts back to Blaze and his mother.

NIKKO “BLAZE” COLE: You knew this would happen and I’m not about to act out in front of my child, we can do this shit another day when the right people are invited.

LISA COLE: You are really overreacting.

NIKKO “BLAZE” COLE: Nah I’m just not with the drama Ma, tell grandma I love her and I’ll holla at y’all later.

Blaze turns and hops in the driver's seat, he starts the car up and pulls off leaving his mother standing outside alone, the scene fades and reopens in Los Cabos, Mexico. The scene shows Amonte and Keon downstairs in the kitchen with some of the cooks helping them prepare breakfast. Amonte is shown setting up the table with plates, silverware and glasses while Keon is making early morning cocktails.



KEON CAMP: It’s our second day in Mexico and I decided that I wanted to do something nice for the group, I asked hotel management if I could use some of their chefs and also rent out one of the private banquet areas so I could host a little breakfast gathering for everyone. I guess it’ll give everyone a chance to kind of reintroduce ourselves and get to know each other a little more, I know a few people have issues with each other so maybe we can sit down, put everything out on the table and move forward so we can enjoy the remainder of the trip.

The scene cuts back to the room where the breakfast gathering is being held, both Keon and Amonte have already seated themselves waiting for more people from the group to join them.

AMONTE JORDAN: Well Key this was nice of you to set this little thing up, even though you woke me up early this morning to help you, it’s a cute idea.

KEON CAMP: I wanted it to be a surprise for everyone, I had management send an alert to everyone’s room advising them to meet us here, I figured it would be a good way for everyone to get acquainted.

AMONTE JORDAN: But what if I don’t want to get “acquainted” with everyone?

Amonte groans.

KEON CAMP: I’m not saying everyone has to be best friends but I at least want us to get along while we’re here.

AMONTE JORDAN: I’m fine, there’s only one person I have an issue with and that’s Zuma’s ole annoying ass.

KEON CAMP: Can you just lay off of him for a second, I get there’s things you don’t like or understand about him but let me handle that, I know you want to protect me Amonte but I’m a grown man and trust me I see everything, I’m not blind to shit.



AMONTE JORDAN: I guess Keon is right, I’m sure he can handle his relationship with Zuma on his own, so I probably should fall back and focus on my own damn relationship and the problems I’m having. I’ll lay low when it comes to Zuma and Keon but trust me I will keep my eyes and ears open and if anything happens I’ll be there for Keon and to kick Zuma’s ass.

Amonte winks at the camera and the scene cuts back to the two.

AMONTE JORDAN: Your right and I apologize if I’ve been too overprotective, I’ll keep my distance and stay out of y’all’s business but if he fucks you over, I’m beating his ass.

KEON CAMP: Ha, fine I’ll give you permission to do that if that happens.

The two laugh and continue talking. The scene cuts to just outside the room in the hallway where Zuma is seen casually strolling up to the entrance before letting himself in.



ZUMA ROCKWELL: This is the first time all of us have had a sit down since we got to Mexico. Yesterday was actually fun for the most part but we didn’t all get a chance to really talk...the last time we all sat down together was back in New York and that was a little dramatic. It’ll be fun to actually get to know everyone a little better. Everyone seems cool, except for that little demon Amonte. I don’t know what his deal is, but he has some evil energy around him. My strategy is to just kill him with kindness. Besides, I’m here for Keon first and foremost...and I’m not trying to put him in an awkward position.

The scene cuts back to the room where the breakfast is happening.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Wowwww this looks amazing, you two!

Zuma leans over Keon’s shoulder and plants a kiss on his cheek before taking a seat next to him.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Thank you, babe...Todrick is still jet lagged so they said they’ll meet up with us a little later. So...you guys loving Mexico or what?

Amonte looks at Zuma ignoring his question, he grabs the glass of orange juice off the table and takes a sip, Keon just shakes his head in disappointment.

KEON CAMP: Mexico is great, I’m having a great time minus the bullshit.

Keon playfully kicks Amonte’s leg on the table.



PRODUCER: Why aren’t you trying to play nice with Zuma?

AMONTE JORDAN: Because that would be considered fake, we don’t have to be buddy buddy and have conversations, I don’t know why he’s playing Phoney right now, he knows we’re aren’t friends.

The scene cuts back to the group.

AMONTE JORDAN: Yeah it’s great!

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Right on! … So what's the plan for today?

KEON CAMP: I want to see what the shopping is about and maybe relax by the beach later.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Okay cool...I think I might hang back here while you go shopping, but I’m down to meet up with you later for some chill time on the beach.

AMONTE JORDAN: Well you know I’m always down for some shopping, I got the black card for special occasions like this.

Amonte giggles.

KEON CAMP: I bet you do.

Amaya and Leah both walk in wearing sun glasses and the clothes they had on the night before, both hungover from partying all night the two sit down at the table.

KEON CAMP: Looks like y’all had a good time last night.

AMAYA “LYNNE” COLE: Ugh I don’t want to talk about it.



AMAYA “LYNNE” COLE: Last night was like a freaking movie, I just hope no one had their phones out recording us. Leah and I hung out at the hotel bar and met up with these two guys visiting Mexico too, let’s just say we got a little too drunk and had some fun in the jacuzzi.

PRODUCER: What kind of fun?

AMAYA “LYNNE” COLE: The type of fun two adults have when enjoying themselves, y’all nosey.

Amaya reaches over and grabs her glass of wine sitting on the table beside her, she takes a sip.

AMAYA “LYNNE” COLE: Carry on.

The scene cuts back to the group.

LEAH JORDAN: I can’t remember shit.

AMONTE JORDAN: (shakes head) That can’t be good, so we need to get a plan B?

Leah playfully hits Amonte in his arm.

LEAH JORDAN: Don’t play with me boy, it wasn’t that type of party and if it was best believe protection would have been used, I’ve made it this far without any kids and I don’t plan on having any.

AMONTE JORDAN: Mmmhmm..

KEON CAMP: Well the good thing is everyone is enjoying themselves.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Speaking of which…

Zuma reaches under his chair to grab the shopping bag.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Before we left New York I picked up a little something for everyone. It’s nothing crazy, just a little token of my appreciation for everyone being so welcoming.

He walks around the table and places a small square white box on each place setting before returning to his seat next to Keon.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Amonte was nice enough to help me pick them out. But let’s wait until everyone else gets here before opening, if you don’t mind.

AMAYA “LYNNE” COLE: Oooh gifts, I love gifts.

LEAH JORDAN: This is just a regular day for me, I’m always getting gifts.

Everyone laughs, the scene cuts to the entrance into the private room where Cadence is shown joining the group. Cadence sits down by Amonte giving him a kiss on the cheek

CADENCE WASHINGTON: Y'all don’t believe in sleeping in I see.

He chuckles

CADENCE WASHINGTON: What’s all this


AMONTE JORDAN: Nothing yet, everyone isn’t here yet. But this morning Keon and I decided to help the chefs prepare breakfast, I guess since the majority of the group is here then we can all dig in.

KEON CAMP: Well wait Zuma wanted us to open up our gifts, maybe we should do that before we start eating.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Only If you guys want to. I don’t want anybody starving to death because of me.

The group all begin to untie the ribbon holding their boxes shut before opening them and pulling out a platinum cuff bracelet, each one engraved with the name of the recipient.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Originally I was going to just get one for Geon as a thank you for inviting me to Mexico with you guys, even though you didn’t know me at all...but then I thought it would be cool for us all to have something to remember this trip by.



ZUMA ROCKWELL: I’m actually really glad I thought to bring a gift for everyone in the first place. Obviously everything I said, I meant...but also maybe it’ll help soften the blow of me inviting other people on the trip without consulting anyone first.

The scene fades and reopens in the beautiful Cannery Beach. Cameras catch glimpses of people taking their early morning jogs on the sand. Then the cameras pan to a tent that is set up in the middle of the beach. Once inside you see a bunch of models getting ready for a photo shoot. Some are seated in hair and makeup. Some are trying on their pieces for the shoot. Finally cameras come to both Geon and Gypan who are seated in hair and makeup getting ready.



GEON TAYLOR: So the day has come. I am finally getting ready to shoot my 5th or 6th Klein ad and I got my boy Gypan here with me since one of the models couldn’t make it last minute. I heard the gang was throwing a little breakfast or what not. And hopefully they have a great time but the money calls right now. After all this was the whole reason I came here. We have a few more activities lined up when this is over so hopefully they can play nice while we’re gone.

He chuckles as the scene returns to the tent.

GEON TAYLOR: So are you excited man?

GYPAN TYLER: Excited is probably an understatement. It’s a lot to take in though. I can’t even fade it.



GYPAN TYLER: So here we are in Mexico and not only do I get to enjoy being here for the first time. I’m also booking the biggest shoot of my career so far. Its gonna be major for me Calvin Klien is a big deal. I really appreciate the bro for hooking me up. Hopefully I don’t mess this up.

He crosses his fingers, smiling as the scene fades back to the tent.

GYPAN TYLER: Man I just hope I don’t mess this up.

GEON TAYLOR: I’m sure you’ll do fine man. This shoot is gonna be pretty laid back so you can just relax and have fun. Just don't think too much.

GYPAN TYLER: Man all i’m thinking about now is jett skiing yesterday. Yo. Ya friends are really wild.

The two chuckle

GYPAN TYLER: Man I’m forreal. You got Amonte and Zuma goin at it. Then Amonte dude showing up with that dude.



GYPAN TYLER: What kinda dysfunctional shit is that. I’m just saying. They seem to literally hate each other. Cadence seem to love being in the dog house. He a cool dude. But that just wasn’t too smart.

He shakes his head as the scene returns to the tent.

GYPAN TYLER: You think they messed around?

GEON TAYLOR: I sure hope not. That would be a lil foul. But I don’t know too much about him. The party was my first time meeting most of them.

GYPAN TYLER: I just hope we come back to some real peace. I was surprised Cadence ain't try to drown that man. He looked so pissed.

GEON TAYLOR: Man they been goin at it since we got here. And who know’s what shit is like at home.

GYPAN TYLER: Yea he seems like a cool dude. I feel sorry for both of them.

GEON TAYLOR: That’s why I just stay in my lane and focus on the bread. None of that is gonna help me build my brand. Relationships are kinda like the last thing on my mind.

The scene cuts to the parking lot area, a yellow 2020 Aston Martin Vantage is shown pulling up, inside Tommii Drekko and Amari Cannon is shown. Amari pulls the mirror down in the passenger seat checking his hair while Tommii is ashing his blunt.



TOMMII DREKKO: Yo what’s good world? I don’t gotta introduce myself, ya know what the deal is. I’ve been kicking it in Mexico for a couple days doing a couple shoots for several brands, I’m not just contracted to one.

Tommii shrugs.

TOMMII DREKKO: Since I’ve been here I’ve met some cool people, during a Gothika shoot I had the pleasure to meet this dude named Amari, now don’t get me wrong the nigga kind of cute but I ain’t really checking for the pretty boy type, they be the ones to cheat plus I’ve been fucking this chick back in my bomwtown so I ain’t trying to cause no confusion, but a nigga still single though.

Tommii chuckles as the scene cuts back the two, they walk down the long walkway heading towards the beach. Tommii notices the shoot setup and the two head towards that direction.

AMARI K. I’m nervous as fuck, this is like my third campaign and my first one international.

TOMMII DREKKO: Don’t sweat it bruh, it’s easy as fuck.

AMARI K. I will admit everyone has been patience and cool with me, even some of the other models have been nice.

TOMMII DREKKO: It’s not always like that bro, these dudes are savages too, it’s always about money and status, the more shoots you get the more money you make, once the world start to notice you then it’ll be a lot easier to get work.



AMARI K. Hey world.

Amari pauses.

AMARI K. That’s such a cliche introduction, but shit I don’t know what else to say. Anyway I’m fairly new to the model world, I’ve only done a couple campaigns and a few runways but I guess booking this international gig means I’m starting to get noticed out here.

Amari shrugs.

AMARI K. Or at least I hope so. Today I have a gothika shoot but decided to come with Tommii Drekko to his Calvin Klein shoot. I met him the other day at a meet and greet and we instantly clicked, and I’ll admit it’ll help that this dude is fine as fuck. So I wanted to tag along with him just to see how he does it and hopefully he can give me some pointers for my Gothika shoot.

The scene cuts back to the two finally arriving at the Calvin Klein shoot, both Tommii and Amari introduce themselves to the other models. Amari turns and notices Geon and Gypan standing on the side, he walks over heading straight for Gypan

AMARI K. Hey Gypan, remember me from the meet and greet the other day?

Gypan smiles, remembering meeting him.

GYPAN TYLER: Aye! What’s good man? Small world.

The two dap and hug.

GYPAN TYLER: This is my boy Geon.

GEON TAYLOR: Hey what’s up man. Nice to meet you.

AMARI K. Pleasure to meet you as well, I didn’t know there would be that many models here.

GEON TAYLOR: Yea man. It’s for the anniversary shoot. They’re doing it real big

AMARI K. Hold on, I want to introduce you to one of my friends.

Amari yells for Tommii to walk over, Tommii finishes up the conversation with one of the photographers and he makes his way over to Geon, Amari, and Gypan.

TOMMII DREKKO: Ayo what’s going on y’all?

GEON TAYLOR: Hey what’s up man. I’m Geon

GYPAN TYLER: Nice to meet you man. I’m Gypan

TOMMII DREKKO: So I see y’all on the Klein campaign too, that’s lit.

AMARI K. Damn I guess I was the only one that didn’t get that campaign, maybe because I’m still new.

TOMMII DREKKO: That’s probably what it is, but Gothika is very popular so look at this way you are still getting a check for just standing around taking pictures.

AMARI K. I guess you're right, I’m grateful.



AMARI K. I’m not going to lie, I am a little jelly that I’m not on the same campaign as everyone else but I guess I should be happy that I get to even experience this!

The scene cuts back to the group.

AMARI K. Anyway what are you guys doing after the shoot? Maybe we can hang out.

GEON TAYLOR: I mean we’re here with a bunch of other people til tomorrow. I’m sure we could find a way to end this trip with a bang.

GEON TAYLOR: Yea I kinda like the sound of that.

AMARI K. Do you think your friends would mind if we tagged along? Trust me we won’t cause any drama!

TOMMII DREKKO: And are these friends cool? I can’t be around a bunch of annoying twats, I’m just saying.



TOMMII DREKKO: Look this isn’t my first rodeo hanging out in a huge group, I’ve done it before and usually it’s a few people in the group that love drama whether it’s starting it or being a part of it and that’s not my thing, that’s some female shit.

Tommii shakes is head as the scene cuts back to the group.

GYPAN TYLER: I feel like some fresh faces might be what this group needs.



GYPAN TYLER: I don’t know how everyone is getting along right now, but these guys seem cool, and we wanna end on a good note. So why not turn up, get some drinks going and see what our last night in Mexico can bring. But first things first. We gotta get through this shoot.

The scene returns to the group.

TOMMII DREKKO: Well I’m down, shit I’m always ready to party.


The photographers call for the models to get ready to shoot, all of the boys head in separate directions. The scene fades and reopens with Amonte, Cadence, Keon, and Zuma walking through the beautiful Luxury Avenue mall, the four admire each store as they try and figure out which one to stop in first. Amonte and Cadence dip off towards Swarovski while Keon and Zuma head towards Pandora Jewelry.

KEON CAMP: I think I want to get my mom something, she would be over me if I came back and didn’t have anything for her.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: I mean yeah honestly I’d be over you too if you went on a trip and didn’t come back with a souvenir or something...just kidding.

Zuma’s phone rings and he notices it’s a FaceTime call from Adyn.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Give me a second babe, it’s Adyn.

Keon walks in the store and starts browsing while Zuma stands outside on the phone.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: BRO im mad you aren’t here.

ADYN: I’m mad too, I could use a freaking vacation and from looking at the pics you're posting on social media it looks like y’all having the time of your lives.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: yeah all things considered it’s been pretty nice...but listen I’m glad you called because you know I have my first fashion show coming up and I wanted to see if you’d grace it with your presence.

ADYN: Fuck yea!

ZUMA ROCKWELL: You’re amazing. I’m looking forward to seeing you. Man, there’s been some nonsense lately so it’ll be nice to see a friendly face.

ADYN: Trust me I know, don’t let it get to you though just try and have fun.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Alright well I’m gonna let you go. We’re doing the group thing and shopping so you know...gotta play nice. I’ll see you soon!

ADYN: Ok! Bring me something back

Adyn laughs! With that, Zuma ends the call and joins Keon in the jewelry store.

KEON CAMP: I found the perfect bracelet for my mom, she’s going to love this.

Keon shows Zuma a nice diamond bracelet with purple stones in it.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: that’s gorgeous! She’s definitely going to love it.

Keon hands the bracelet to the owner and she rings him, as Keon is paying, both Amonte and Cadence join them in the store.

AMONTE JORDAN: Let me find out Keon in here buying his own jewelry because his “man” can’t afford it.

Amonte chuckles as he walks up on the two.



AMONTE JORDAN: I wouldn’t be surprised if Keon was paying for his own stuff, Zuma claims to be this big model with some money but honestly all I see basic and boring.

The scene cuts back to the group.

As Keon is finishing getting rung up for the bracelet, Zuma turns around and notices Amonte and Cadence. He can’t help but roll his eyes.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: You know what Amonte I don’t know why you’re riding my dick so hard but imma need you to focus on your own situation because from the looks of things you don’t have a history of harmony in your own damn relationship. Like no offense Cadence, but this shit is getting old. I’ve tried to be nice...I’ve tried to be respectful. But you’re pushing it so back the fuck off.



ZUMA ROCKWELL: I didn’t wanna snap on Amonte but I’m so sick of his digs. It’s like bro what is your problem?!

Scene cuts back to the group.

AMONTE JORDAN: Oh I must have struck a nerve? Calm down little boy because you don’t want it with me.

Amonte starts to step towards Zuma but Cadence jumps in between the two.

CADENCE WASHINGTON: Yo, chill!

AMONTE JORDAN: I wouldn’t waste the time on him, he can’t take a joke.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Dude the only joke here is you with that stank ass superior attitude when you’re the tackiest person I’ve ever met in my LIFE!

Zuma turns to Keon who is just shaking his head.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Look I get that this is your friend but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let this fool keep getting away with trying to play me. Who the fuck is he anyway?

He then turns back to Amonte and gets in his face, as close as he can with Cadence between them.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Step off little boy because I prommmmmise you, the next time you fix your lips to say something smart about me you won’t like the outcome.

AMONTE JORDAN: Keon control y’all man because if he lays one hand on me not only will he get his ass beat but I’ll beat his pockets too and we all know his broke ass can’t pay for a lawyer.

Keon screams out in frustration storming out of the store.



KEON CAMP: I’ve had enough of these two, like for real. The back and forth is driving me crazy and all I wanted to do was shop and enjoy my time in Mexico.

The scene cuts back to Amonte and Zuma still going back and forth with Cadence in the middle.

CADENCE WASHINGTON: Would yall just stop it already. We’re in fucking Mexico bro.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: the only thing broke is about to be your jaw if you keep trying me. TRUST.

AMONTE JORDAN: It doesn’t surprise me that the first reaction is violence, that’s the difference between trash and class and clearly you're on the trashy side.

Amonte turns and starts to walk out of the store leaving Cadence and Zuma alone.

CADENCE WASHINGTON: Imma let him cool off.



CADENCE WASHINGTON: Man… I am really over these two. And it really sucks for me cuz when this all plays out I’m gonna look like the bad guy because i fuck wit zuma. Dude is the only one here that aint side eye me once. He wasnt scared of the monster and that’s rare. Especially in this crew with everybody and their opinions on me. Can’t I have one friend.

He shakes his head.

CADENCE WASHINGTON: But on the other hand Amonte is bae. He eats my balls.

He chuckles, shaking his head.

CADENCE WASHINGTON: But forreal. That’s love there. And he’s gonna make me choose a side. Unless I can get them to make up. But so far it’s proving to be an impossible task.

He shakes his head as the scene returns to the two.

CADENCE WASHINGTON: This shit sucks bro.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Yeah it’s whack but honestly I didn’t want it to go this far. Your boy is a mess and there’s only so much I can take before he needs to get put in his place. You can deal with him however you want to but for me? If I allowed that behavior to continue it only makes him think it’s okay which it’s not.

CADENCE WASHINGTON: In his defense. I do think he really was joking bro. But yall ain’t there yet.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: I’m over it. Like I see how his mind works and I’m not gonna let him fuck up this trip any more than he already has. I feel bad about putting you and Keon in the middle of this though. It’s ridiculous and a waste of time.

CADENCE WASHINGTON: Eh..I know he’s gonna flip that I ain’t chase after him. I guess I’m a sucker for punishment man


He chuckles



CADENCE WASHINGTON: It’s like part of me gets turned on when he’s mad at me. So sometimes I do lil shit just so I can get him mad. Then when we get back to the room….

He smirks

CADENCE WASHINGTON: Let’s just say it’s gonna be fun saying sorry.

He chuckles as the scene returns to the two.

CADENCE WASHINGTON: But don't worry about me. I’m a big boy. I don't know about ya boy Keon. But I usually drown out all the noise when y'all start fighting. I stay in my lane forreal. But other than the cat fighting, you been enjoying mexico

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Honestly I need to adopt your ways bro and just drown the bullshit out. Mexico has been dope...not what I expected...but you know this is like a second home for me so it’s always nice being back. I just wish I could have bonded with everyone more but fuck it. You’re cool, Key’s cool, my boy Todrick is here so I’ll just focus on the good.

Todrick walks into the store looking around for Zuma and he sees him talking to someone and heads in their direction. He is his usual cheerful self as he saunters towards them..

TODRICK TABOR: Heeey!

His voice trails off as he sees the two in deep conversation.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Speak of the devil! Fashionably late as always i see. You missed the show but I’m glad you’re here. Hope you bought me something pretty.



TODRICK TABOR: Lawd, a girl is late to the party and it looks like I missed all the good tea. I don’t like to see Zuma looking like that. This trip was supposed to be special for him and Keon. I don’t want to drag a hoe today. I may not be built to break but I paid good money for these lashes honey and I’m not trying to be out here being escorted away with one lash on and some hoe holding the other one like a trophy screaming WorldStar.

TODRICK TABOR: Oh you tried it. Ha ha. A girl needs her beauty rest, all of this fine doesn’t just happen you know. I picked up some cute pieces that I think you are going to love. Besides you know bad bitches only hang with other bad bitches so I’ll surprise you when we get back to the hotel.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: IF we make it back to hotel. I might catch a case and end up in a Mexican prison chile...

The scene cuts outside with Amonte looking for Keon, he walks a few steps reaching the next store, he looks through the window to see if he can spot Keon but doesn’t. Amonte turns and notices Keon sitting on one of the benches staring into his phone, he walks up to Keon and sits down beside him.

AMONTE JORDAN: Are you okay?

KEON CAMP: Why do you have to mess with him like that? You already know you two aren’t friends and can’t joke like that.

AMONTE JORDAN: I was joking and I honestly thought it would lighten the mood. I didn’t think he would go all bitchy oh me.



AMONTE JORDAN: Zuma can throw stones but can’t handle it when they’re thrown back, but it’s cool I’ll keep it cute for the rest of this trip only because I don’t want to upset my friend, but what my friend needs to realize is that he is the reason I have a dislike for this person anyway.

Amonte shrugs as the scene cuts back to the two outside.

AMONTE JORDAN: But look how angry he got, just imagine if you two ever got into a disagreement and what he would do to you.

KEON CAMP: You're reaching now Monte, I don’t think he would ever put his hands on me.

AMONTE JORDAN: I don’t know, just stay aware that’s all I’ll say about that, his anger is ridiculous. But I won’t even engage with him anymore the remainder of this trip, he’s an animal and needs a leash.



KEON CAMP: I was so sick of this drama, I love both of these guys but it’s like damn are you both in love with me or something the way y’all going at each other’s throat.

Keon shrugs.

KEON CAMP: If they don’t chill with this then I’m dropping both of them!

The scene cuts back to the two.

KEON CAMP: Just don’t say anything to him, and I’ll tell him the same thing. You're my friend and he’s my man, and that’s that!

AMONTE JORDAN: Whatever Keon, just tell him to stay out of my face.

Both Amonte and Keon make they’re way back into the store, Amonte notices Zuma talking to Cadence and that infuriates him. Amonte grabs the water bottle that Keon was holding and races towards Zuma pouring and splashing him with water.

AMONTE JORDAN: THIRSTY BITCH?



AMONTE JORDAN: I think I told him once before not to talk to my man alone, and if I didn’t I’m making it known now DO NOT TALK TO MY MAN ALONE.

The scene cuts back to the store

ZUMA ROCKWELL: YO WHAT THE FUCK?!

Zuma immediately lunges toward Amonte but Keon and Todrick hold him back. He’s screaming obscenities and trying to get to him but security comes from off camera to separate them. Zuma wipes the water from his face before storming off.



ZUMA ROCKWELL: Amonte tried it. If there was any hope of us getting along it’s gone now. He’s lucky that Keon, Todrick and security were there to hold me back because it was about to be OVER for that twerp. That fucker better sleep with one eye open because I promise you this means war.

The scene cuts back to Todrick standing there with Keon and security looking shocked.



TODRICK TABOR: Chile, now I know Ms. Thing didn’t just do a drive-by splashing. Are we still doing that in year of our lord 2020? I’m not gonna lie, I wasn’t ready for all of that and if I had’ve known that I would’ve worn the appropriate footwear because these shoes and the water on that floor do not go together. I’m glad he didn’t splash me cause I really would’ve bopped that hoe.

TODRICK TABOR: WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?

Amonte turns and looks at Todrick.

AMONTE JORDAN: I suggest you stay in your place because this doesn’t concern you, tell your friend to stop trying to get at my man and we wouldn’t have these problems.

TODRICK TABOR: First of all, take that bass out of your voice when you are out here throwing water like a bitch. My place is wherever I want it to be and unless you are feeding, fucking, or financing me then you don’t matter to me in the least. If you knew how to properly use your words you could tell Zuma whatever you want to say yourself.



TODRICK TABOR: Chile, this Karen is out here showing her natural ass. The nerve of her addressing the Queen without an appointment. I didn’t send for this hoe, but I damn sure will pay her fare to the hospital when I’m done with her.

TODRICK TABOR: Don’t nobody want your man Chile. Your jealousy is so ugly!

Security grabs Amonte and escorts him out the store with the cameramen following behind him. Keon, Todrick, Cadence and Zuma stay behind inside the store still with security.

SECURITY: Everyone needs to calm down.

KEON CAMP: I’m sure we’re banned from this store now.

The scene cuts to the outside where Amaya and Leah are shown arriving at the store. Both look shocked at what is going on.

AMAYA “LYNNE” COLE: What the hell happened?

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Fucking Amonte is wild. Like he keeps on trying it and threw water on me because he thinks I’m trying to fuck his man or something! Like bro get a fucking grip.

AMAYA “LYNNE” COLE: Oh wow, we're better than this guys.



AMAYA “LYNNE” COLE: I guess the party got started without us, and from the look of everything I’m guessing these guys are happy they have a lawyer on board because if it was more damage I’m sure someone would be getting sued today.

The scene cuts back to the group.

LEAH JORDAN: Why the hell is my brother being held by security, like what the hell happened here?

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Because he can’t control his fucking temper.

LEAH JORDAN: Listen! Don’t talk about my brother, I’m sure you had to do something to provoke him like that.

AMAYA “LYNNE” COLE: Leah chill, we don’t know the full story yet.

LEAH JORDAN: I wouldn’t believe this lying prick anyway, he’s been messing with my brother since day one and I don’t like it, and for the record I fight boys too.

Leah starts to walk towards Zuma but security grabs her arm.

SECURITY: Not today.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Ohhh so I see mental instability runs in the family. Y’all are both garbage as far as I’m concerned and I don’t fight females but I’ll tell you what I’ll have my cousin Soleil deal with you when we’re back in New York. Bet.



ZUMA ROCKWELL: I’m so over this trip. Any chance of salvaging it is ruined now. Thing One and Thing Two over here have made sure of that. Like they say, misery loves company.

The scene cuts back to the group in the mall. Zuma is walking out of the shopping center and toward their car service with production following.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: I’m DONE! Get me the fuck outta here.

PRODUCER: Let him go.

Leah follows behind security, production and Zuma.

LEAH JORDAN: Yes let him go, he’s not wanted here.

Leah turns and looks at Cadence.

LEAH JORDAN: And what the hell is your problem? Didn’t my brother tell you not talk to that douchebag? He keeps messing with my brother but yet here you are befriending him, stay off those drugs man.

CADENCE WASHINGTON: Leah, get the fuck out my face right now. None of this has anything to do with me.

Amaya walks up to Leah grabbing her arm.

AMAYA “LYNNE” COLE: Let’s go Leah, I think it’s time we take a early flight out of here because this is to much.

LEAH JORDAN: Fuck you Cadence and fuck Zuma too.

CADENCE WASHINGTON: Yo.. eat my dick already! I'm starting to think that's what you want. Damn! Just shut the fuck up sometimes.

Leah ignores his comment and she and Amaya walk off leaving Cadence standing with Todrick. Keon and Zuma both jump in the van that production set up for them and drives off as the scene fades and reopens back at the hotel but beachside, Amari, Tommii, Geon, and Gypan are shown lying on the beach catching the sun and enjoying the views of the water brush against the sand.

AMARI K. Man this feels nice, I needed this.

TOMMII DREKKO: That shoot was draining, I didn’t think we would be there all day, but yo where are your friends at?

GEON TAYLOR: I think out shopping.

GYPAN TYLER: They’ll probably be here soon.

AMARI K. I was hoping we could have met them, hopefully they get here.

TOMMII DREKKO: The night is young, this is the last night in Mexico so whether they show up or not let’s have a fucking good time.

AMARI K. What type of good time are you talking about?

TOMMII DREKKO: Shit whatever the night offers.



TOMMII DREKKO: Look this is my last night in Mexico and I’m just trying ball the fuck out, I’m not worried about no drama or bullshit, just pass me the bottles, the green and let’s vibe.

The scene cuts back to the group.

GYPAN TYLER:I definitely like the sound of that

GEON TAYLOR: I guess I'm the only one that doesn't smoke huh. Long as it's some drinks I'll be good

The scene cuts to Cadence and Todrick still standing outside the store.



TODRICK TABOR: Now Chile, I’m all about so good drama but this is too much. Now I’m standing out here with this man I don’t really know and chaos that seems to be centered around him. I don’t know what to think. I do know I better watch out for Miss Thing and her popping up with another bottle of water.

The scene cuts back to Todrick and Cadence.

TODRICK TABOR: Well that was an ordeal. I know we haven’t met but I’m Todrick, obviously Zuma’s friend. Chile you must really have Amonte sprung because dick is the only reason someone acts like that over a conversation between two people.

CADENCE WASHINGTON: I’m sorry man, it’s nice to meet you.

Cadence turns and shakes Todrick’s hand.

CADENCE WASHINGTON: I don’t know what Amonte’s issue is, he’s been on some other shit since we’ve landed and all I wanted to do was relax and hang out. On his behalf I apologize, I’ll talk to him later once he calms down.

TODRICK TABOR: Hun, I don’t know how you do it. That was a lot to process. I hope that is not the norm. It is nice to meet you though. I was a bit concerned that people wouldn’t really want me here since Zuma invited me. What are the plans for the rest of the day since we are leaving tomorrow?

CADENCE WASHINGTON: Some of my friends are at the beach, you should come along so you can take your mind off of what just went down.

TODRICK TABOR: That sounds lovely. Honey, I needs me a stiff cock..tail hahaha.

The two make they’re way towards one of the production vehicles that was waiting for them, they jump inside and the scene fades and then switches to Keon and Zuma’s room. Zuma is laying on the bed in a pair of trunks, staring at the ceiling while Keon is changing into his swimsuit.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: I think I’m just gonna hang back for now and meet up with y’all later. After what happened earlier I don’t feel like i'm really in the mood to be around everyone.

KEON CAMP: I don’t blame you, I’m annoyed at what just happened, if you want me to stick around with you then I will.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Honestly I want you to go have fun. I’ll meet up with you guys later I just wanna chill here for a minute...I’m still kinda salty from earlier and I don’t want to bring that energy to the beach and fuck up everyone else’s last day here.

KEON CAMP: I get it babe, if you want to be alone for a little bit then I’m cool with that, maybe I should go talk to Amonte and figure out what the hell just happened.

Zuma sits up on the bed as Keon makes his way over to him. The two kiss before Keon makes his exit from the room.





ZUMA ROCKWELL: After everything that happened earlier today I don’t even know what I’m still doing here. Amonte’s behavior was uncalled for and Leah was totally out of line. Like part of me wants to just get the fuck out of Mexico but that would be a dick move especially to Keon. I’m gonna just suck it up and get through the rest of this trip...but that doesn’t mean I need to go kick it with everybody at the beach right now. Imma just chill in the room, get a good lunch buzz going, and then meet up with everyone later but TRUST I will be counting down the hours until it’s time to go back home. Speaking of home, I was feeling kinda homesick so I decided to hit up my cousin Soleil and fill her in on all the drama.


The scene cuts back to the room where Zuma is fixing himself a drink. He then sits back down on the bed and whips out his phone before FaceTiming his cousin. After a few rings it picks up and her face appears on the screen.

SOLEIL: Wadduuuuuup

ZUMA ROCKWELL: SOLLLLLL

SOLEIL: ZUUUUUUU

ZUMA ROCKWELL: It’s so good to see your face I miss you!

SOLEIL: I miss you too, Primo. Are you having fun?

Zuma makes a face and rolls his eyes.

SOLEIL: uh oh...what happened?

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Just a bunch of bullshit...nothing I really wanna get into right now. But basically one of the dudes here has been a fucking bitch to me the entire time and long story short he ended up throwing some water on me while we were in a store.

SOLEIL: Wait, what?! He threw WATER ON YOU, ZU?! I hope you beat that ass!

ZUMA ROCKWELL: I’m not allowed to fight while we’re filming.

SOLEIL: But he’s allowed to throw water on you?! That’s assault!

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Loopholes I guess? I get the feeling he’s trying to provoke me. But I’m not gonna let that happen.

SOLEIL: Good for you...be the bigger person. What’s this dude’s problem anyway?

ZUMA ROCKWELL: he’s fucking crazy, Sol! He thinks I want his boyfriend or something.

SOLEIL: HUH?! But aren’t you there with Keon?

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Yes and everybody knows it. I think the dude, he’s Keon’s friend by the way, is having some problems in his own relationship...and he’s taking it out on me for some reason.

SOLEIL: Well that makes sense.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: Cómo?

SOLEIL: I mean he’s having issues with his man and then I bet seeing his friend all happy with someone makes him feel even more insecure. If you ask me, I don’t even think his problem is with you. I think he’s just a toxic friend and is trying to sabotage Keon’s happiness because if he’s not happy, nobody else around him should be either...at least in his mind. Poor Keon…

ZUMA ROCKWELL: ….Holy shit, Sol...you’re right! That’s fucked up.

SOLEIL: Mmmmhmm….so listen baybeee don’t let him get to you. You’re in paradise with yours mannnnns and some other good people so just enjoy yourself! Fuck everything else.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: You’re so right. Thanks Sol what would I do without you?

SOLEIL: Hopefully you’ll never have to find out.

ZUMA ROCKWELL: oh by the way I forgot to tell you I invited Todrick down here too so at least I’m not totally outnumbered.

SOLEIL: ohhh em geee Toddy is there?! Oh I’m so jealous! See?! There’s no good reason why you shouldn’t be having the time of your life right now. Take a breather, relax, you’re on vacation...I’ve got everything under control with the store...so just focus on having a good time okay?

ZUMA ROCKWELL: okay...love you!

SOLEIL: love you too, primo!

Zuma ends the call and stands up. He tosses his phone on the bed before walking up to the window overlooking the ocean. Zuma glances down at the beach before taking a sip of his drink. The scene then cuts to Todrick.



TODRICK TABOR: Honey I’m so glad this foolishness is over. I’m protective of my friend and I’m still not sure if Cadence’s intentions are pure when it comes to his friendship with Zuma. I love my friend and I’ll hold my tongue until I get to the bottom of this Cadence fellow but my gut is telling me he is being overly friendly to make Amonte jealous with rage. That is real childish to me. If your relationship is strong, you don’t need those little games to spice things up. Personally, I don’t know if those two are compatible but far be it from me to stick my nose in someone else’s relationship child.

PRODUCER: Why do you feel like Amonte and Cadence are incompatible?

TODRICK TABOR: Well honey, I’m like Mama Joyce and be out here getting the tea from the streets and they are always fighting or Amonte is mad causing a scene in public. Then they go to their place and have some ole nasty sex. Baaaaby, if that is the only way to have bomb ass sex, I don’t want it. That gets old. Ms. Amonte knows it, that’s why she went and had work done. But I ain’t one to gossip, so you ain’t heard that from me.

Todrick enters his room and sets his bags down on the bed. He checks his make-up and then he FaceTimes his new boo Austin Ramsey.

TODRICK TABOR: Hey Babe! I miss you.

AUSTIN RAMSEY: You’ve only been gone a few days, you don’t miss me, you miss this dic..

TODRICK TABOR: AUSTIN! Lawd, where is my oil!

AUSTIN RAMSEY: The lord made it and you love it so I don’t see what the problem is. How is Mexico? Because you are calling me instead of having fun on your last day there.

TODRICK TABOR: I am SO thankful that Frick invited me on this trip.

AUSTIN RAMSEY: Well where Frick goes, Frack is sure to follow. Ha ha

TODRICK TABOR: True. I really wanted him and Keon to have a good trip but that ole musty, dusty thang, Amonte has been trying it the whole trip and today was just over the top dot com!

AUSTIN RAMSEY: Babe, are you staying out of it?

TODRICK TABOR: Really boo? Do you even have to ask?

AUSTIN RAMSEY: So that’s a no. Got it. Zuma can handle himself babe.

TODRICK TABOR: Yes, but also the shrieking hyena known as his sister tried to jump Zuma and I was not having that. She acted like she was getting the “D” from Cadence. I don’t buy all that fake animosity for one second. Chile, she either had it or he has indicated that she could get it any minute. Granny always said a stray cat won’t hang around if it’s not being fed.

Austin remains silent, the questions he wants to ask could start an argument between Todrick and himself. He instead opts to silently watch Todrick change into his lime green two piece swimsuit and stares at that supple ass.

TODRICK TABOR: Don’t get all quiet. I feel like there is more that you have to say. Plus it’s good to talk this out before I head down to the beach to meet everyone officially for the first time.

AUSTIN RAMSEY: All I’ll say is this babe, try to stay as level-headed as you can. Everybody may not be so excited that you were invited on the “planned” trip. You are a guest so if there is something that needs to be handled, choose another venue for that shit.

Todrick remains quiet and stares into Austin’s green eyes seeing the wisdom and genuine care in them. He knows that Austin is right but he is a loyal friend and is conflicted.



TODRICK TABOR: I don’t want to admit that Austin is right, but I know in my heart that he is. Some of these girls may have an issue with me coming on the trip and me jumping into deep seeded beef between all these people with bonds may not be the best idea. I’ll keep my cool and let Zuma handle his business but trust, there will be no jumping my friend on my watch.

TODRICK TABOR: You right babe. I promise to keep my wits around me but I knew what I was signing up for, I’ve seen the other shows. This is probably the best venue to meet everyone anyway. I want introductions to be out of the way before Zuma’s #ROCKSUGAR fashion show anyway. Nothing should pull focus from my friend and his line that night.

AUSTIN RAMSEY: Go have fun, and don’t do Frick and Frack tequila shots. Nobody carries you to your room but me.

TODRICK TABOR: Boy bye!

Todrick blows a kiss and hangs up the call. The scene switches to both Cadence and Keon running into each other in the lobby.

CADENCE WASHINGTON: Bro, I’m sorry for what Amonte did.

KEON CAMP: You don’t have to apologize, it wasn’t your fault at all. I don’t know what Amonte’s issue is but I’m on my way to find him right now.

CADENCE WASHINGTON: He’s in his room packing, he wants to leave now instead of tomorrow and I can’t talk it out of him. I’m going back out to the beach to hang with Gypan, Geon and the rest of the crew.

KEON CAMP: Ok!

Keon and Cadence both walk their separate ways, Cadence heads towards the beach while Keon hops on the elevator.



KEON CAMP: At this point I’m disgusted at Amonte’s actions, I get he’s my friend and wants what’s best for me but this was going too far.

The scene cuts to Keon leaving the elevator and walking towards Amonte’s door, he balls his hand up and starts banging on the door.

KEON CAMP: OPEN THE DOOR, IT'S KEY!

After waiting a couple seconds the door swings open and Keon makes his way inside.

KEON CAMP: What the hell is your issue?

AMONTE JORDAN: I know you're not coming in here to check me, I did nothing wrong. I told you I won’t stand for disrespect from anyone, not even my bestfriends boyfriend.

KEON CAMP: Do you not understand how difficult you are making this for me? That wasn’t necessary!



AMONTE JORDAN: Look I can understand why Keon’s mad, but at this point I don’t care. That cocksucker disrespected me and he was hella thirsty, instead of me putting my hands on him I decided to quench his thirst, damn thirsty rusty thot box.

The scene cuts back to the two.

AMONTE JORDAN: I’m not apologizing to him Key, I’ll apologize to you but as for Zuma, we will never have a friendship. He has disrespected not only you but me and my relationship and I won’t tolerate it, he’s a bird.

Amonte continues to pack his bags.

KEON CAMP: Why are you leaving?

AMONTE JORDAN: Because this trip has plucked my last nerve and I need to get back to NY before I kill a bitch.

Keon shakes his head.

KEON CAMP: You don’t have to leave, I went to fix this.

AMONTE JORDAN: It’s not fixable, just leave it alone. When you get back to NY we can talk about this more but right now I just want to listen to my music, pack my shit and get the hell out of here.

Keon stands there a second trying to respond but unable to find the words to say, he shakes his head as he walks over to his friend and hugs him.

KEON CAMP: Safe travels.

Keon turns and walks out of the hotel room leaving Amonte alone, the scene fades.
