00:00Previously on Nelly and the Shine Team, we belong together.
00:10It's his 50th birthday!
00:14With our lives moving so fast,
00:17ATL was happening!
00:20It's not perfect.
00:23What about where KK's gonna go to school?
00:25If it was in New York, it would be amazing.
00:28I'm not living in New York.
00:30Big Head wants to live in St. Louis because his mom and kids,
00:34and that's where he runs all of his businesses.
00:37But there's no other city that compares to New York.
00:40We do have to talk about Christmas.
00:42Maybe we'll go to New York for a few days.
00:44Well, it's gonna be tough.
00:45Definitely want to have Christmas in St. Louis.
00:50I'm coming!
00:51We're back in St. Louis now.
00:53Can I get a hug?
00:54With both families getting a chance to come together.
00:57I don't get nothing either.
00:59You can't force it.
01:01I'm gonna get you two right here.
01:02That's perfect.
01:03I want to get a hug.
01:04Yo!
01:05When my dad and Ashanti first got together,
01:07I didn't really place her as,
01:09this is my dad's girlfriend.
01:10It was more of like, this is Ashanti.
01:12But now that I'm older,
01:14we're like friends now, too.
01:16I am relaunching Apple Bottom Brands.
01:19We are about to shoot some online content,
01:22but I don't think we had the right idea yet.
01:25Sweetie, you're in the shot.
01:26I'm shooting.
01:27I don't think the creative was where I wanted it to be, basically.
01:32This ain't the Vibe magazine shot.
01:33We just need some press, man.
01:35This shit about to be over.
01:36Come on, D.D.
01:50We good.
01:52We...
01:53Quiet on set.
01:54All phones off.
01:56So, in your words,
01:58it's Nelly,
01:58and we're behind the scenes
01:59at the Apple Bottom's photo shoot.
02:01Okay.
02:02So, when I say that,
02:03am I looking at the camera?
02:04Yeah, yeah.
02:05This side, you got a camera.
02:06Okay, cool.
02:07We're relaunching Apple Bottom's.
02:08I try to be as hands-on,
02:10creatively as possible.
02:13Yo, what up?
02:13It's your man...
02:14Three, two, one.
02:15Yo, what up?
02:16It's your man, Nelly,
02:17and we're behind the scenes
02:18at Apple Bottom's photo shoot.
02:19Shout out to all the models
02:20that took place
02:21and participated
02:22in what's going on.
02:24Ah, three, two, one.
02:25Yo, I want to send a special shout out
02:27to...
02:28I hate saying um
02:30in the middle of saying some shit.
02:32When we launched Apple Bottom's
02:33the first time,
02:35social media was non-existent.
02:37So, we have to get acclimated
02:39to learning how
02:41to use social media
02:43for Apple Bottom's
02:44the best way.
02:45Create a direct,
02:46you said it's not working.
02:48And it don't look like Apple Bottom's
02:50because you don't see,
02:51you just see girls.
02:52You don't see the jeans.
02:53I am fired.
02:55You don't have to do it.
02:56No, I don't mind doing it.
02:58I just mind sitting there
03:00when nobody's understanding
03:03what's going on.
03:04That's the problem I have.
03:05You want to be respectful
03:07to everybody who you're talking to,
03:08but you also want to make sure
03:09that they understand
03:10and you assert your vision
03:12as clearly as possible
03:14because if anything,
03:15this is your brand.
03:16This is your baby.
03:16This is what's representing you.
03:18It's like, yo,
03:19Apple Bottom's
03:20will be launching
03:2122 years later.
03:23I hope y'all ready.
03:23Do you know how much
03:25the brand meant to people
03:26when you don't like that one?
03:28Okay, it's fine.
03:29No, well,
03:30I don't know what it meant.
03:31And then,
03:32so the revision to Apple Bottom's,
03:33what can people expect?
03:34I wouldn't say a revision.
03:37Okay.
03:37I mean,
03:37I don't mind giving these answers,
03:40but I hate giving generic answers.
03:42You see what I'm saying?
03:42I like giving answers
03:43that only I can give
03:45because only I've been
03:47in that situation
03:48because it is personal.
03:50Can we ask
03:50what people can expect
03:52from today's Apple Bottom's?
03:53I would rather you ask
03:55Vette and Dot
03:56from a design aspect.
03:58I understand.
03:59They're more into the design
04:00and the femininity
04:02of the brand.
04:03You don't want no man
04:04asking about the femininity
04:06of a woman's brand.
04:08It looks more genuine
04:09than asking somebody
04:10who's looking to make
04:11100 mil and fucking sell.
04:13Being in an environment
04:15that I'm not cool with
04:16and not seeing the vision
04:18that I want at the time,
04:20I'm someone that
04:21is definitely going to
04:22start regulating some shit.
04:25Obviously,
04:26I'm in it for the paper.
04:27All right.
04:28It's a man
04:29with a woman's line.
04:30Like,
04:31you're setting me up.
04:31Where you going, Tinky?
04:41Asa,
04:41where you going
04:42to Stinky Man?
04:44Hey, y'all.
04:45Uh-oh.
04:46AC Papa.
04:48Oh,
04:48he about to get loose.
04:49Come on, buddy.
04:51Hey.
04:52Come on.
04:53You want to see your uncle?
04:54I don't know what's up.
04:56Hi, boo-boo.
04:57Hello.
04:57How are you?
05:00I feel like it was
05:01really important
05:01to spend some
05:02one-on-one time
05:03with Nana.
05:04What's up, man?
05:05Oh, my God.
05:07Now, these kids
05:07were so young
05:08the first time around.
05:09Obviously, now,
05:11with them being, like,
05:12full-on adults,
05:13the goal is to just
05:14grow and continue
05:15that relationship.
05:18Let's see if I can hold him
05:19and hold his hand.
05:20AC, you want to go for a walk?
05:22Come on,
05:22let's go in the playroom.
05:23Okay, see you later.
05:25How crazy is, like,
05:27me and you
05:28being moms
05:29at the same time?
05:30You know what I'm saying?
05:31Like...
05:31It's crazy.
05:32I'm grateful for it, too.
05:34And they're both boys.
05:35Yes.
05:37You know what I'm saying?
05:38You know what I'm saying?
05:39In my boy-mom era.
05:41Period.
05:42And when I say
05:43that's what it is,
05:44it's an era.
05:45It's definitely an era.
05:46It's crazy that
05:47it's, like, 20 years.
05:50Like, we're 20 years in,
05:51which is nuts.
05:52Do you remember
05:53our first encounter?
05:54Because I can't remember
05:55when we first met.
05:56I do.
05:56I think I do.
05:57I had came down,
05:59and it's sad
06:00when Jackie had passed.
06:02Mm-hmm.
06:03The first time I met the kids
06:04is when
06:06Nellie's sister, Jackie,
06:08passed, unfortunately.
06:10I love Jackie.
06:11You know, she was, like,
06:12the sweetest, most amazing,
06:13and she, like, you know,
06:15she accepted me.
06:16You know, I felt the love.
06:17Yeah.
06:17You know what I'm saying?
06:18Good, okay.
06:19And, um, so when
06:20all that stuff happened,
06:21I just remember that day,
06:23it was just, like, a lot.
06:25You know what I mean?
06:25Mm-hmm.
06:26With the funeral
06:26and everything happening,
06:27but that's when I met y'all.
06:29And Trey was super, super little.
06:30Little.
06:31Little.
06:32Because we five years, so...
06:34Yeah.
06:36For, like, if I can, what,
06:38like, 12, 13?
06:39Probably.
06:40Because I was old enough
06:41to, like, sing your song
06:43word for word, so, you know?
06:44Did you see my room?
06:45I came in your room
06:47and I was, like,
06:48oh, she got posters to me.
06:52Okay, I'm, like, yes,
06:53she got all the fire music.
06:55I love those posters.
06:56For me, I was just, like,
06:57oh, my God,
06:59I'm gonna meet his kids.
07:01You know, so I'm, like,
07:02for me, it's, like,
07:02okay, it's getting serious now.
07:04Right.
07:04So when I came to the house
07:06and I saw the posters,
07:07I was, like, oh.
07:08You're, like, I'm good.
07:09No, yeah, that would've
07:10gave me the ease,
07:11like, okay, I'm good.
07:12Yes.
07:13I mean, we weren't really
07:14talking about marriage
07:15during our first year
07:16or, like, the first time
07:17we started dating,
07:18but, you know,
07:19when someone has kids,
07:20you know, it's a package.
07:22You know what I mean?
07:22So it was a little
07:24different for me.
07:25It's hard in the industry
07:26to just find someone
07:28that's genuine
07:29and that's authentic
07:30and that you, like,
07:31click with.
07:32You know what I'm saying?
07:33And I feel like with us,
07:34it was, it was, like,
07:35an immediate chemistry.
07:37And then being here
07:38so many years later,
07:40it's just, like,
07:41when things are meant to be,
07:42it will be.
07:43I love how my dad came
07:44and, like, made that entrance
07:46of, like, okay, it's time.
07:48It's inspiring because
07:49I do, I want to get married
07:51one day.
07:51Good.
07:52I do.
07:53Right now, I'm single,
07:54but I'm ready to get married,
07:55if that makes any sense.
07:57I don't like to say
07:58what people's fate is
08:00or what they think
08:01their fate is,
08:01but when I saw my dad
08:03extending the olive branch
08:04on the verses,
08:05he went to go get
08:06what he wanted
08:07for the now
08:07and made it
08:08for the future.
08:09If you want to be married
08:10and just have that bond
08:12and that union
08:13and have that stability
08:14and that sense of
08:16someone protecting you,
08:17yeah, you know what I'm saying?
08:18You deserve it, you know?
08:20It's just, it takes
08:21the right person.
08:22Look, I hope it don't
08:23take you 20 years.
08:26But if it do,
08:27it's worth the wait.
08:28Right.
08:39All right,
08:40that's all the questions
08:41and then we're going
08:42to do some sound bites.
08:43And I'm cool with that,
08:44but if these are our questions,
08:46we need to reshape them
08:47to where nobody else
08:48can be asked these questions.
08:50You know what I'm saying?
08:51But I love you not saying.
08:52We're not at odds.
08:52I'm just telling you
08:53how I'm thinking because...
08:55Right, totally.
08:55You want it to be meaningful.
08:56Exactly.
08:57You know,
08:58you want your team on board
08:59because when everybody's
09:00excited about a project
09:01and they put forth
09:02the best effort,
09:03so with relaunching the brand,
09:06I love to stay positive,
09:07thinking that,
09:07yo, it's going to work,
09:08it's going to work.
09:09Is that good?
09:10Yeah.
09:11Say action when you're ready.
09:12All right, ready?
09:14What can people expect
09:15from today's Apple Bottoms?
09:17Okay.
09:18What I think people can expect
09:20from today's Apple Bottoms
09:22is having a brand
09:23that celebrates
09:24all women of shapes and sizes.
09:26We were definitely
09:27ahead of the pack
09:28when we started this
09:29and hopefully we can continue
09:30to grow
09:31and be a mainstay for it.
09:33Got it.
09:36Got it.
09:36Yay!
09:37Yay!
09:38Okay.
09:41Appreciate it.
09:42No problem.
09:44Appreciate you.
09:45Never want you to think
09:46I don't appreciate it.
09:47We just have a quick question.
09:49Mm-hmm.
09:49We want to be able
09:50to do a shot like this
09:51tomorrow.
09:53That's the baseball.
09:54That's the varsity jacket.
09:55And I ordered some boots
09:57today.
09:58I should have got y'all
09:59into the, um,
10:01the baseball setup.
10:03I should have got y'all
10:03in on that fucking field.
10:05I don't know if it's too late.
10:07Dante!
10:07Dante worked for the Cardinals.
10:09They love him.
10:09Real quick,
10:10hate to use you like this.
10:11But we got a little
10:12baseball jacket scene
10:13with all of this.
10:14Can you call
10:16just to see
10:16if in any way possible
10:18we can get the field
10:19for like 30 minutes?
10:20Tomorrow?
10:21Tomorrow.
10:21If you can get her
10:22sitting on the mound
10:23or sitting in the outfield
10:24the way that,
10:25that type of pose
10:26with the stadium
10:27in the background
10:28with the baseball jacket.
10:29If we can do it at night,
10:31I think that would be dope.
10:32It's dark.
10:33You got the lights up there.
10:34Yeah.
10:35And they might coincide
10:36with you when we're doing it.
10:37Yeah.
10:37What works for Nelly
10:38is just thinking
10:39outside the box.
10:40Okay.
10:41For how long?
10:41We'll take what
10:42better can he choose it.
10:43To be able to get
10:44into Bush Stadium
10:45and use it as a backdrop
10:47for our product
10:49would be like a dream.
10:50We just need a contact
10:55so they can go on.
10:56I'll give it to you.
10:56Perfect.
10:57Okay.
10:58Hopefully
10:58we can make that happen.
11:06I wanted to tell you,
11:08you know how close
11:09we all grew up
11:09like Milo, Sean,
11:10Sidney, and Trey?
11:11Mm-hmm.
11:12And when I think
11:13about our kids,
11:14I want y'all to be
11:15at least halfway
11:16as close as we was
11:17coming up, you know?
11:18And I'm sure
11:18what you like traveling
11:19and working hard,
11:21I mean, like,
11:22you probably got
11:23so much time
11:23where you like,
11:24who's gonna be there
11:25that I trust?
11:26Baby.
11:26I don't know how y'all
11:27feeling about staying
11:28in St. Louis
11:29or like, you know,
11:30being at a distance,
11:31but if they grow up together
11:33and like,
11:34if we got that opportunity,
11:35you know,
11:36that'd be dope.
11:36I definitely would love
11:38for them to stay
11:38in St. Louis
11:39for our kids
11:40to grow up together.
11:41Being children
11:42of celebrities,
11:43you need people around
11:44that just get it.
11:46KK got a couple
11:47of cousins
11:47and friends
11:48up in New York
11:49and obviously
11:49we got family,
11:50you know what I'm saying?
11:51So it's hard.
11:52I don't even know
11:53like,
11:53where are we gonna end up?
11:55What makes
11:56St. Louis beautiful
11:57is there's so much
11:58family down there.
11:59It's a lot of love,
12:00so when you have that,
12:02you really feel protected.
12:03But at the same time,
12:04New York City
12:05is one of the most powerful,
12:06most amazing cities
12:07in the world.
12:07And I'm just not ready
12:08to make the decision.
12:19Uh-oh.
12:30We were able to
12:31basically get Busch Stadium.
12:35It's surreal to be here.
12:36Yeah,
12:37and I was just about to say,
12:38you know,
12:38I don't know,
12:39this is a hell of an electric bill.
12:42Thankful that I have
12:43good friends
12:44and people
12:44who have been supporting me
12:46for a long time now.
12:47St. Louis,
12:48you know,
12:48we got the Cardinals
12:49and everybody knows
12:50I'm a huge baseball fan.
12:51It's one of the best experiences
12:53with me and my mother
12:54because she taught me the game,
12:55took me to my first baseball game
12:57and all of that.
12:58So to be able to pull this off,
13:00those are big moves
13:00and I don't take it for granted.
13:03All for you.
13:03It's all for you.
13:04It is.
13:05It's all for you.
13:05No, I appreciate it.
13:06Don't be shy about that.
13:08So whatever y'all need
13:09while you're here.
13:10We're going to get in,
13:10we're going to get out.
13:12We told them
13:12we'd be done by 8.30 max.
13:14What time are we at?
13:14We got 40 minutes.

17:44or go somewhere.
17:44Man, can I see your mind?

17:46Yeah, there you go.
17:47Lashanti,
17:48we got a rubber band
17:48or something over there?
17:49You would ask the bald girl
17:51if she has a rubber band
17:52or a scrunchie.
17:54I am always on set
17:55with Lashanti
17:56watching the monitors.
17:58So if a piece of hair
17:59is wrong
18:00or the lipstick isn't right
18:01or something is wrong
18:04with the wardrobe,
18:06I got to make sure
18:06because they're not only
18:08dedicated to Lashanti,
18:10but I am.
18:12Lashanti,
18:12do you still need
18:13this monitor?
18:14I don't think
18:16so I'll see
18:17one little thing.
18:18See, you shouldn't
18:19have showed me.
18:20Never ask again.
18:28Should I do this
18:28or is this like wrong
18:29since everybody
18:30want to use it?
18:31Long as I ain't
18:32double dipping.
18:33That strawberry cake.
18:37Oh, that's your favorite
18:38and you didn't.
18:38I thought it was fine.
18:39Well, it depends
18:40on who made it.

19:28Whereas I'm always

19:31See?
19:32And you wonder
19:32why kids
19:33are with mom
19:34and dad.

19:37more rational.

19:39All right,
19:39well, let's do it.
19:40Come on.

19:57We ain't like.
19:58So y'all don't want
19:59to go to New York?
19:59You can have a conversation.
20:01Wow.
20:02Whatever it is.
20:02What happens?
20:03It's better than to know.
20:04They're 30,
20:0527,
20:0733.
20:08Hey,
20:09motherfuckers
20:10want to go to New York.
20:10They can fly.
20:11They go anywhere.
20:12They're adults.
20:14Okay,

20:18Who you saying?
20:19Him.
20:21I told Ace

20:22Ace,
20:23you ain't put us on.
20:24We on the boat mission, Ace.
20:25Yeah, I see.
20:26Okay.
20:27It's hot in my head.
20:35How?
20:36It looks good.
20:37Look at your waist, mama.
20:38Let's just do a mic check.
20:39Hey, hey, hey, one, two.
20:41Thanks for watching
20:41No Address.
20:43Camera speed?
20:44Speed.
20:45We want you to join
20:46our efforts
20:46to help break
20:47the no address cycle
20:48and really make a difference.
20:51You might be wondering
20:52how can I help
20:53in being part
20:53of the solution?
20:54So I'm super excited
20:55about my new film,
20:57No Address.
20:58I'm actually
20:58an executive producer
20:59on it as well
21:00as playing a character.
21:02My character's name
21:03is Violet.
21:04I did have a real job
21:05protecting this country.
21:07And I am an ex-veteran
21:08who gets addicted
21:09to painkillers,
21:11which is very,
21:13very different.
21:14This is a role
21:14I've never played before.
21:16Head over to
21:16noaddressmovie.com
21:18for a list
21:19of our non-profit partners
21:20working tirelessly
21:21to end homelessness
21:23across America.
21:25I'm happy to be a part
21:26of this film
21:27because it's creating awareness.
21:29It kind of puts things
21:30into perspective.
21:31At the end of the day,
21:33the reason we made this movie
21:34is to create
21:35a movement together.
21:36Giving back
21:37is an important
21:38part of our family values.
21:41We want to make sure
21:42that we do
21:44what needs to be done
21:45for people that don't
21:46have opportunities.
21:47Ashanti has always
21:49had a heart
21:49for being a philanthropist.
21:51We can be the solution.
21:53Let's work together
21:54to break the no-address cycle.
22:00Get him, man!
22:03Uh-oh!
22:05No, don't do that.
22:06Don't do the hoes.
22:07Uh-oh, make him think
22:08something wrong.
22:10You tired?
22:11Yes.
22:12My baby's sleepy.
22:13I think I'm probably finished.
22:15Breastfeeding might be
22:16like a year or so.
22:17A year?
22:18I just want to see
22:19your reaction.
22:21Please, darling.
22:22Please.
22:22I get why the moms
22:24are still doing it,
22:24but I see how that looks
22:26on the outside in,
22:27and it is a little awful.
22:29He's standing up.
22:31He's grown.
22:32Yeah.
22:32He's talking.
22:33Yeah.
22:33Yeah, but, um...
22:35How are you?
22:36I'm doing good.
22:37Yeah?
22:37Yeah.
22:38Yeah, being a mom,
22:41this is like your first
22:42year or so in the can.
22:44Yeah.
22:45What you thinking?
22:48Because you got
22:48a lot more of those.
22:49I know, right?
22:50You can take a deep breath first.
22:52I love it, though, Dad.
22:53Like...
22:53Of course you do.
22:54You're great at it.
22:56You're great at it.
22:57No, but you are.
22:58You prepared.
22:59Trying to be prepared.
23:01Hmm?
23:02I know y'all didn't really
23:03have time to get prepared
23:04at 17, 18 years old.
23:07Mm-hmm.
23:07There's like no time
23:09to even process for real,
23:11you know?
23:12No, because you're
23:13still a baby yourself.
23:15I mean, you know,
23:15when you're 19 years old
23:16and you're having a baby,
23:19it can definitely be scary.
23:20But I knew I had somebody
23:21that depended on me,
23:23that needed me to step up.
23:25I don't sound like no superhero
23:26or no shit like that.
23:27You know what I'm saying?
23:28You just did what I had to do.
23:29I mean, you still alive.
23:31Y'all did it.
23:31You turned out...
23:32Y'all did it.
23:37We did not burn the house down.
23:39That's it.
23:40Amazingly.
23:40Okay.
23:42Does marriage feel different,
23:43then?
23:44Just like the official
23:46headline of it.
23:481,000.
23:49It's like supporting
23:50your spouse,
23:51no matter what it is.
23:53I honestly think
23:54I just want the big boom.
23:57I don't know what that means.
23:58What's the big boom?
23:58The wedding.
23:59Well, that's not good.
24:03That's not good
24:04because you could
24:05throw yourself a party
24:05then and come out
24:06a lot cheaper.
24:16Hi!
24:17You look cute!
24:19How are you?
24:20I'm good.
24:21So this is what
24:22I want to show you.
24:22Tell me whenever you're ready.
24:24In the middle of the shoot,
24:26I get a call from Lorraine
24:27and we're talking about
24:28Nellie's Diamond Wedding Band.
24:30But I am going to have
24:31something made and custom
24:33that I think is going
24:34to be really dope,
24:34but it's running a little late.
24:37We got married shortly
24:39after the engagement,
24:41so there really wasn't
24:42any time to go get
24:43a wedding band.
24:44I'm going to have
24:45the girls draw it
24:46for you right now, okay?
24:47Oh, because see how my...
24:49Look, and I wanted
24:50to say the same.
24:52Yeah, so we...
24:53I...
24:54I heart.
24:55So we're taking out
24:56the space
24:56so we actually
24:57are going to use
24:57maybe one diamond less.
25:00Okay, perfect.
25:01Okay.
25:01You look so pretty.
25:02Thank you!
25:04Love you.
25:05Love you.
25:06Okay, bye.
25:07I'm so proud of her
25:09because she's a multitasker
25:11in terms of her business
25:13and her personal.
25:15With the love, respect,
25:17the time, effort, energy
25:18that she puts into Nellie
25:20and the baby,
25:22she has really worked on it
25:25over the last few months
25:27as if she was born to do it.
25:29All right, I'm out.
25:30I'm going to see my baby.
25:32My baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.
25:34Okay.
25:42Of course you want
25:43to get married.
25:44I mean, it's everything.
25:46You're talking about
25:46to death do you part, right?
25:48But it's not with being
25:49a girlfriend or a boyfriend.
25:51When you be a boy,
25:52you know, y'all date.
25:56Y'all don't connect.
25:57If you don't want...
25:58No, I want the partnership now.
25:59The commitment, yeah.
26:01You said,
26:02I think I just want the boom.
26:03With the word marriage,
26:05but you know,
26:05I want the relationship.
26:06Relationship is still commitment,
26:08you know?
26:08Would you count that
26:09as the same commitment?
26:10That's marriage.
26:11Being a girlfriend
26:11and being a wife
26:12is two different things.
26:14Commitment-wise?
26:15Everything-wise.
26:17Some people get into
26:18a girlfriend-boyfriend relationship
26:19and say,
26:20I'm committed to you.
26:23We riding this out.
26:24This is to the end.
26:26Sound good.
26:27This is what this looks like.
26:28Sound good.
26:29Do you know the expenses?
26:30Who's paying for what?
26:31Where do y'all live?
26:32Do y'all live together?
26:33That's very possible,
26:34but it's still...
26:36You still have an option
26:37to pack that shit up and go.
26:39Nana wants to do a lot of things.
26:40That's the beautiful thing
26:41about my baby.
26:42She's very, very talented,
26:43and she can go
26:44and do anything
26:45that she wants to.
26:46What I don't want her to do
26:47is to rush
26:48into thinking
26:49that she will be looked at
26:51differently
26:52because she's not married.
26:54If she marries somebody,
26:57I definitely want her
26:58to feel like
26:59this person completes her,
27:02this person supports her,
27:03this person has
27:04her best interest at heart,
27:05and she has that person's
27:07best interest at heart.
27:08You get married,
27:08you're not thinking about
27:09packing that shit up
27:10and leave.
27:11You might leave,
27:11go downstairs,
27:12get on the couch.
27:13Right.
27:13That's your ass,
27:17your ass is coming big.
27:19Being close to my dad
27:20is definitely a blessing.
27:23I feel like all little girls,
27:25grown women,
27:25need some type of relationship.
27:28And what we have right now
27:29is a great vibe.
27:31Think about it.
27:32Ain't no rush.
27:33The goal is to die married.
27:35It's not to have been married.
27:36Yes.
27:37To death do you part.
27:38So that means either
27:40I'm going to jail
27:42or I'm going to die.
27:43What?
27:43No, that's not me.
27:45I know.
27:45That's real.
27:47All right.
27:48That's real.
27:48Well, let me know.
27:49I'll be around
27:50if you want to shoot
27:51the shit some more.
27:52Yeah.
27:52All right?
27:53Love you.
27:53Yeah, love you too.
27:55Grab your daddy
27:55a beer or something.
27:56Gotcha.
27:57Yeah.
27:58I think as a father,
27:59you're in that watchdog mode
28:00because I take providing
28:03and protecting my family
28:04very, very seriously.
28:05I take that job
28:06very, very, very,
28:07very seriously.
28:09I love that we're able
28:11to make our family work
28:12and find time for each other
28:14and the things that are important
28:15and still get the bag.
28:18And we try to balance that out.
28:20Balance it out.
28:20Yeah, that works.
28:21I'm going to go change this down.
28:23It looks like it's ass itchy.
28:24He's scrubbing here.
28:25He looking itchy booty.
28:27Daddy, stop.
28:28Yeah, get him right.
28:29Next time when Nelly and Ashanti,
28:32we belong together.
28:33Kids definitely want to come to New York.
28:35The kids want to go anywhere.
28:37Talking to Shia,
28:38we were talking about
28:39where we were going to spend Christmas at.
28:41But I thought about it.
28:43I didn't want to take you away from granny.
28:44All the pregnancy rumors
28:52are starting again.
28:54People are turning in
28:56just for that, I think.
28:57There's a lot of rumors
28:58on the internet
28:59about a second baby.
29:02Is that the same thing
29:02happening tonight?
29:03Is there a burn there?
29:05It's black and white ball night.
29:07The black and white ball's
29:08not-for-profit
29:09that we've been doing
29:09for some time now.
29:11Hair makeup will be quick.
29:12And I got to get my nails done.
29:14We're a little worried
29:15that it's starting to get late.
29:17She said, babe, what can I do?
29:19Can we please go a little bit faster?
29:21I said, sweetheart,
29:22the only thing I need you to do
29:23is be on time.
29:24A lot of money was spent.
29:26Big Head is so mad at me.
29:29He's never going to let me live this out.
29:31Jesus fucking Christ.
