06:43Yeah, then I start making those calls, you're going to look even more guilty.
06:48Are you?
06:52Tomorrow what?
06:53I'm going to play stupid.
06:55Did you do it?
06:56Did I do what?
06:57Did you kill Bunky?
07:04Lucius, I cannot help you if you don't come clean with me.
07:16He showed up at my house three o'clock in the morning talking about this is an emergency.
07:22He wanted to shake me down for three million dollars.
07:28What am I supposed to do?
07:30You're supposed to pay the man.
07:31Pay him for what?
07:32For wasting his life?
07:33He hated you, man.
07:35He hated me because we did something with ourselves.
07:37So you play God.
07:38No, he played God the moment he showed up here and tried to shake me down.
07:43He chose his fate.
07:47He wasn't the Bunky you and me grew up with.
07:50He talked about tearing this down.
07:52Everything I done built.
07:55Everything that we've built.
07:57He was going to tear it down.
07:59You should have come to me sooner.
08:01What am I going to say to you, V?
08:03Look, I'm about to kill Bunky.
08:05I shot him.
08:13Now, how are we going to fix this, man?
08:16I'll tell you what we're going to do.
08:19First thing we're going to do is beef up security.
08:22That's first.
08:23I've been talking to a guy that's supposed to be the best in the business.
08:28We're going to go to work.
08:29We're going to act like everything is normal.
08:32And that's how we're going to work this.
08:52Now, you listen to me.
08:54I'm not approving any production costs overruns this quarter.
08:56Okay?
08:57Now, the closer we get to this IPO launch, the more critical...
08:59One second, the more critical...
09:04Tell me the truth.
09:05You knew that Lucius killed Bunky.
09:07You lied to protect him, didn't you?
09:09You're supposed to have my back.
09:10Right?
09:11I don't know what you're talking about.
09:12You're talking to Dio, right?
09:12I sat there and listened to you give a false alibi.
09:16That's what I do.
09:17I get my father alibi.
09:23What the hell is wrong with you, Andre?
09:25There's nothing wrong with me.
09:27What's wrong with you?
09:30I cover for him, even when I don't know what I'm covering.
09:43So I think the next thing that needs to happen is we just need to X out the things that
09:47are cheesy.
09:48All this girl is not working for me.
09:50I actually...
09:51Oh, hold on one second.
09:53Hey, babe.
09:54What's up?
09:55I was right about what happened with Bunky, Rhonda.
10:00Oh, okay.
10:01Well, um, I'm so happy to hear that great news.
10:05Can you go somewhere you can talk?
10:07No, I can't right now, but I'm really glad to hear the great news.
10:12Okay.
10:14Call me back, okay?
10:17Call me back.
10:24Hey, but why are you even listening to Cookie?
10:25She was just being honest.
10:27Michael, what you want me to do?
10:28You want me to swear on a stack of Bibles that I'm ever going to blow up and leave you
10:31behind?
10:33All right, since when do you talk to me like that?
10:35Listen, all I want is to make sure that we're still each other's priority.
10:38Is that too much you ask?
10:39No, it's not.
10:40Come here.
10:41No, Jamal.
10:41Hey, come here.
10:42Come on.
10:43Come on.
10:44Let's go away for the weekend.
10:46Show Cookie how wrong she is.
10:50For real?
10:51You come first, you know that.
10:53First and second, if we're keeping smart.
10:57Why don't we go to that bed and breakfast place in the Berkshire?
10:59It's the one that Kenny and John told us about.
11:01It's supposed to be super secluded, no cell phone, no internet, no nothing.
11:04Just you and I.
11:05Babe, I can't be off the grid like that right now.
11:07Come on, don't get mad.
11:08There's a lot happening right now.
11:09Right, right, right.
11:10Okay, I'm not mad.
11:10I'm cool.
11:12Just as long as we're together.
11:16Let's just hit up Fire Island with RJ and Taylor.
11:21Yeah, it sounds cool.
11:26A bad week just got worse.
11:30Sobriety is a journey and not a destination.
11:34You know, you commit your life to another man and his mission.
11:40I practically raised that man as kids.
11:44So what's changed?
11:45Why is it getting to you now?
11:47The guy we grew up with got killed.
11:50He's like a brother to us.
11:52He lived for Lucius.
11:55Is that a worthy life?
11:58Waking up every day to serve another man's needs?
12:02I think it's time to move on.
12:05Maybe it's time.
12:25Now that was hot.
12:27Yeah, he's killing it.
12:28I'm so proud of him.
12:30When can I hear a finished version, Cookie?
12:33The song's already finished, Ms. Cowell.
12:36Oh, I assumed it was a demo.
12:38You would, because you're a hater.
12:40See, this is a...
12:41Sorry to interrupt.
12:41Just needed to remind your department about the new IPO mandate of cutting fat from the artist roster.
12:46We're on it.
12:47Um, we are dropping Alonzo Hall.
12:49L. Dallas is going, and the Shadow Brothers is going.
12:51Wait, wait.
12:52You're cutting L. Dallas?
12:53Yes, we are.
12:54That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
12:57Empire can't cut L. Dallas.
12:59She is Empire royalty.
13:02Yeah, well, maybe she was back in your day, but...
13:06Mom, she's costing Empire a fortune.
13:07We haven't seen a new revenue stream from her in years, and she is difficult.
13:11Yeah, difficult.
13:12I know that word.
13:14You see, y'all like to toss us to the side when you can't control us anymore because you're lazy,
13:19and you don't want to do your job.
13:21Well, just because you don't know what to do with an A-lister doesn't mean we toss her from the
13:26label.
13:26No, there is no weed, Cookie.
13:28This is my lane.
13:29Mine.
13:30Okay.
13:33You know the song is good.
13:35You mean the three-and-a-half-minute piece of crap that he keeps telling me to kiss his ass?
13:40Yeah, that song.
13:41It's not funny.
13:42Look, it's going to be a hit.
13:44That's all that matters.
13:45What matters is the fact that I came down here personally to introduce you to L. Dallas.
13:51And all you can do is jam Jamal down my throat.
13:54Like he said in his song, keep your money.
13:56That's what I'm going to do.
13:57I'm going to keep my money.
13:59Yeah.
13:59Well, the only reason why you're giving me L is because you feel guilty about letting me on the damn
14:05rose.
14:05No.
14:06You misunderstood the rose.
14:07Oh, man, please.
14:08I can't wait till L is in your hands because you're going to have your hands filled.
14:12Anika thinks she's hopeless.
14:15L's music gave me a reason to stay alive when everything else was telling me to just give up and
14:19die.
14:22She got anger.
14:23You know that anger that makes you just want to fight.
14:25Here she comes.
14:26Oh, my God.
14:30Maybe you can return the favor because she needs the lifesaver now.
14:36L?
14:37Yes?
14:38Look at you.
14:39It's all good to see you.
14:40Hi.
14:41L, I know exactly who you are.
14:43I'm Cookie, your biggest fan.
14:45Wait, Cookie, you're the wife.
14:48Ex-wife.
14:49Darling, don't be shy.
14:50We're all somebody's ex-wife.
14:54I have the most incredible news.
14:56Cookie has agreed to manage you and take over the production of your next album.
15:02Uh-uh, Lucius.
15:03Forget it.
15:03I'm sorry.
15:04I only work with top people.
15:05That's how I sold over 100 million records.
15:08But in the last five years, it's been none.
15:10It's like maybe the audience has forgotten you.
15:15Okay.
15:16Here's what you will get with me.
15:18Cookie, someone who appreciates your gift and who knows what to do with it.
15:23I won't sleep until you're back on the charts.
15:25I'll tell you, Cookie is your best bet.
15:28I mean, she's been begging to manage you.
15:30She's your biggest fan, and she's hungry.
15:34I need a real producer.
15:35Hit Boy.
15:36Timberlitz.
15:36No, no, no.
15:37They're afraid of you.
15:38I mean, I think it's time we start building new bridges.
15:42You listen to me, darling.
15:43When Empire started out, it was my record sales that kept the lights on in that black shack.
15:49My back catalog alone floated you.
15:51I opened your company up into a world you never knew.
15:54And now you've got this nightclub, fashion lines, Empire champagne.
16:00And what do I get?
16:01My career handed over to an ex-con.
16:05Elm.
16:05No, Lucius.
16:07No.
16:28Empire must be keeping you busy.
16:31I haven't heard from you in a minute.
16:32I haven't had a job for you in a minute, Lamont, but I got one now.
16:35Any of your guys facing the murder beef they can't beat?
16:38Yeah.
16:38How's half my roster?
16:40I need one.
16:41Good one.
16:42Come through on this, got a pot of gold for you.
16:45Murder beef, Vernon, better be a pot of gold.
17:11What are you doing in this guzzy motel?
17:13I'm not clapping this.
17:15You about to make time.
17:16Get that junkie out of here.
17:18Hey, party's over.
17:21Let's go.
17:22Is this your stuff?
17:23No.
17:24Come on.
17:25Let's go.
17:26Thanks for coming.
17:27Party's over.
17:28Bye-bye.
17:38You need to get clean, El.
17:40I've been clean for years.
17:42I know.
17:43Mm-hmm.
17:43The first thing you think about every morning is where you're getting your first hit from.
17:47And if your dealer ain't holding you, get high off of anything.
17:51Probably get high off your cottons.
17:55It was your music, El.
17:56They got me through.
17:57When I was locked up, it was your music.
18:00I had to block out everything so that I could survive.
18:03You got me through.
18:04I got to the top by myself.
18:07No one helped me.
18:08So don't stand there and try and tell me.
18:11I'm just trying to help.
18:12Just please give me my stuff.
18:13I want to help you, El.
18:14Please just give me my stuff back, man.
18:16No.
18:17Give me my stuff back, bitch.
18:18Give it back.
18:20Give it back, bitch.
18:22Give it back, bitch.
19:12The person you are trying to reach is currently unavailable.
19:15Please leave a message.
19:17Camilla.
19:17It's me, Hakeem.
19:19Pick up the phone, ma.
19:39Pusha, where's she at?
19:40What?
19:40She said 10 minutes, 30 minutes ago.
19:43Calm down.
19:44She on her way.
19:45Ma, just relax.
19:45Have a drink.
19:46I'm fine.
19:47I'm fine.
19:49Then she go right there.
19:52Hey, baby.
19:55Hold that for me.
19:56Excuse me.
19:58Mama.
19:59Mama.
19:59Yeah?
19:59Listen.
20:00Seriously.
20:01My personal life is off limits.
20:04Mama, listen to me.
20:05I'm serious.
20:05What?
20:06For real.
20:07I'm going to say this one time.
20:08Step off.
20:10I didn't say one thing to that boy.
20:12It ain't true.
20:13Now, I like Michael, okay?
20:15But he ain't my son.
20:17You are.
20:18And I hope one day you find a partner that is on your same level.
20:22Somebody that has their own career.
20:25Their own ideas.
20:26Somebody that can bring something to the table besides some damn food.
20:29Cook in school.
20:30And look, stay focused.
20:32Remember I told you Vince Boyd was here tonight?
20:35Yeah.
20:36Five million Twitter followers.
20:38Get ready.
20:41Go ahead.
21:11You'll stay in on me with my manager.
21:14You hear that?
21:15You said no, stop.
21:17Turn off.
21:24How you doing?
21:27Stay with me.
21:28Boyd.
21:30I'm Bonnie.
21:31Vince Boyd.
21:32I'm Cookie Lyon.
21:33One of the founders of Empire Enterprises.
21:37Sorry, Cookie.
21:38My bad.
21:39Sit down.
21:41Thank you, thank you.
21:42I just wanted to congratulate you on last week's game.
21:46Four touchdowns.
21:48Yeah.
21:48The city is loving you, man.
21:50Thanks.
21:52Let me ask you a question.
21:53What you think about this song that's playing?
21:58It's dope.
22:00Nope.
22:01Very.
22:02Empire's next big artist.
22:03Look, why don't you tweet something to your followers?
22:09I ain't really doing all that tonight.
22:14It's amazing what good music will have these young girls doing nowadays.
22:19What?
22:19Touching on each other?
22:20That's nasty.
22:21Portia, shut your ass up.
22:23It is shut up.
22:26This song is going to be a monster hit.
22:30Why don't you be the first one to introduce it to the world?
22:34I'm only doing this because you two are hilarious.
22:39What's the name of the song?
22:41It says you were awarded the Silver Star of Excellence for Courage while under fire stationed in Iraq.
22:48Yes, sir.
22:49I was there for four years as team leader of a tactical recovery platoon.
22:54What did you recover?
22:56It's classified, sir.
22:59I have 12 years' experience as a Navy SEAL specializing in close-quarter combat, hostage rescue, recovery, and anti-terrorism.
23:08I've overseen personal security for figures such as yourself, executives, religious leaders, and others who face high-stakes security challenges.
23:18You know, my company's in the middle of an IPO launch.
23:21Yes, sir.
23:21It's a great time to beef up your security.
23:23A lot of friends, but I got a whole lot of enemies.
23:26I'd love to see this IPO not happen.
23:28Well, I've done a thorough review of both your home and your corporate headquarters.
23:34Really?
23:35Yes, sir.
23:36What'd you find?
23:37This entire building and your home with one giant breach.
23:43What do you mean?
23:44Your security cams are misplaced with black holes about a mile wide.
23:48The Northwest Gate sensor can be tripped by anybody with a cell phone.
23:51Hell no.
23:52Your night security detail looks more like a donut commercial than a threat deterrent.
23:56I would start from scratch, sir.
23:59I like how you do your recall.
24:01Let's get you to work, sir.
24:03Thank you, Mr. Lion.
24:07Mom.
24:08Mom.
24:09Vince Boyd just tweeted a video hyping your song.
24:13There's over a thousand reachments already.
24:1611.04.
24:1811.59.
24:19Ain't no rate.
24:19Isn't it awesome?
24:21Hey, yo.
24:21Can I get an autograph?
24:23Right here.
24:24Somebody give me a pen.
24:27What's up?
24:30Hakeem, go home.
24:30You drunk.
24:31So what?
24:32I'm drunk and you brilliant.
24:34You the one with all the talent in this family.
24:37Hakeem.
24:37Are you okay?
24:39How's your video going?
24:41I got a new song.
24:42I want you to hear it.
24:44Can you come over?
24:45Sure, we'll both come over.
24:46Okay, let's go.
24:47I didn't invite you.
24:49Shh.
24:50Come on, Jamal, please.
24:52I need your help.
24:53I can't get the hook right.
24:54King, I don't care.
24:56Should have thought about all that before.
24:57Thought of what?
24:58How long did you think that I would just sit around and let you disrespect our mother
25:01when all she's trying to do is help you grow up?
25:03How long did you think that I would just let you use me?
25:05I don't care.
25:09Mom, I'm gonna leave.
25:10Okay.
25:11Thank you, baby.
25:11I love you.
25:12I'll call you tomorrow.
25:13Okay.
25:19All right, let's go over this one more time.
25:21I was over by the river.
25:23Which river?
25:23The Hudson, uptown.
25:26Near West Harlem Piers.
25:27And?
25:28I saw an old drunk.
25:29I decided to rob him.
25:30But he fought me, so I popped a cap in his ass and rolled him in the water.
25:34Where'd you get the gun?
25:35Found it.
25:36Look, man, tell me where my family can get in their cash.
25:39As soon as you sign a confession, they'll get a little bit at a time so nobody notices.
25:45And who am I taking the fall for?
25:47Don't you worry about that.
25:48Just make sure you don't ever deviate from this story.
25:53Easy.
26:08Babe?
26:09Yeah, baby?
26:10Keep your money still trending.
26:12Seven hours and counting.
26:15Man, Cookie really hooked that up.
26:17I swear that woman is the ultimate hustler.
26:19Yep.
26:23Hey, why are people tweeting about some satellite radio interview you're supposed to have this weekend?
26:28Oh, because I am.
26:30Cookie hooked that up, too.
26:32Were you going to let me know?
26:34Fire Island was this weekend.
26:38Um, can I take a rain check?
26:41Wait, Michael, come on now.
26:42This song is just now popping.
26:44I have to push it.
26:45Yeah, what happened to not caring about fame and money?
26:49Weren't you all about the music?
26:52You really don't get it, do you?
26:54This is about the music.
26:56I...
26:58I don't know why I'm here.
27:02They're going to learn in a minute
27:03Because they all getting slayed
27:05I don't trust a man
27:06We probably ain't about nothing
27:07Don't call me
27:09Don't text me
27:10Discussion
27:10They all phone me
27:12And that's why I don't trust me
27:13They all phone me
27:14And that's why I don't trust them
27:16Staying too long
27:17We'll get just...
27:19What's up?
27:20I mean, it's really nice for some Girl Scouts
27:23But this ain't about being nice
27:26You've got to go hard with this
27:30Come harder
27:31All right, let me hear the beat again
27:35I got something for you
27:43I can't
27:45Tell us if you clever
27:47Trust a lady, never
27:48Have you thinking back
27:49You wishing that you never met her
27:51See her in that fitted dress
27:53You know it's designed
27:54And she feel it out
27:55Nice
27:55But the devil wears pride
27:57I assume
27:57No, no, no
27:58I will never ever trust a man
28:00Get out my way, chick
28:01Cause I already know the game
28:02If you try to talk to me
28:04I'm on my college football
28:05In other words
28:06I'ma act like I don't know the dame
28:08Cause you've been on the plate
28:09I feel like you're the dame
28:14Hey
28:15Oh, hey Cookie
28:16How's she doing in there?
28:18Things are going
28:20Let me hear something
28:21Sure
28:21Here, play your last take
28:26You stole my money
28:27And my cigarettes
28:30I haven't seen
28:31I don't have them yet
28:33I wanna know
28:34Quick, stop it
28:35Stop it
28:35What the hell
28:37And she sounds a mess
28:39What happened to her voice?
28:40I can make it work
28:40I just need to splice together
28:42Five different takes
28:43From tonight
28:43And some from last month
28:45And a session back in March
28:49Hey, Cookie
28:53We're ready?
28:55Oops
28:56Ciao
28:57A hot mess
28:57It's the same thing
28:59I see it
28:59I know
29:00Let me call you back
29:06Hey, girl
29:09Hey
29:11You know, I've seen the way she treats you
29:14Who?
29:15Don't play dumb, Portia
29:19I bet she don't even pay you right either
29:22Oh, Cookie?
29:23She pay me okay?
29:24Well, there's no reason for her to call you stupid
29:26She call everybody stupid, okay?
29:28That's what she do
29:28You know, Portia
29:29What if I knew a way
29:31For you to be making double
29:33What cookie pays you?
29:45So what in the world can you do for me, Doc?
29:47And I don't want no BS
29:48I've looked high and low to find somebody
29:51And you might be the guy
29:52Well, as you know
29:53I'm a concierge, Doc
29:55That means I'm your doctor
29:57Exclusively
29:58I have no other patients
29:59My every waking moment
30:00Will be devoted to your well-being
30:02Well, you can care in the hand-holding
30:04In the bedside manner
30:05I've been told ALS has no cure
30:08That's why you need me, Lucius
30:13The FDA puts tighter restrictions
30:16On new medications
30:17Than any other country in the world
30:18But in Russia
30:20The ease of regulations
30:22Has created a breeding ground
30:24For cutting-edge treatments
30:25They're making tremendous strides in ALS
30:28Who are they?
30:30They have a new drug cocktail
30:32Which has shown a 60% reduction in symptoms
30:35And all the people taking it are still living
30:37Now, the sample size is small
30:40So the data is far from conclusive
30:42But we're cautiously optimistic
30:43That this is a breakthrough
30:46So how do I get here?
30:48It's not gonna be cheap
30:50The Russian medical community
30:52Is as corrupt as the rest of the country
30:54It's like the mob
30:56Yeah, I'm like the music business
30:57I don't care the cause
30:59Whatever has to happen
31:00I need you to make that happen
31:03I want in
31:11I don't know why
31:13I love it like I do
31:15After all these changes
31:17You put me through
31:19You took my money
31:21And my cigarettes
31:23I haven't seen
31:25I don't pay of them yet
31:27I want to know
31:28So won't you tell me
31:31Am I in a lot today?
31:34Stop, stop, stop, stop
31:36Someone came in late
31:37No, nobody came in late
31:39Let's just reset
31:40I know what I heard
31:41One of these women threw me off
31:42You know what?
31:43Please leave
31:43I'm done
31:45And Kevin, give me a cigarette
31:47Can you call the driver?
31:49Kevin, sit down
31:52It wasn't them, Elle
31:54It's you
31:55You're just not bringing it, baby
31:57This song just isn't you
31:59You gotta be raw
32:00Fine
32:01You know what the stupid song needs?
32:04You sing it!
32:06All right
32:07All right, everybody out
32:08Everybody out
32:10Y'all stay
32:13Give us a minute, sweetheart
32:17I do know what the song needs
32:19It needs for you to stop
32:20Pretending to be who you used to be
32:22And be who you are now
32:23This tantrum you're throwing
32:24Put it in the song
32:25That's what I've been doing
32:26No
32:27You're hiding
32:28You're hiding behind the mix
32:30Behind those fake-ass samples
32:31And reverb
32:32Behind that fur
32:33And all that makeup
32:37Take it off
32:38Get out of here, Cookie
32:39You know what?
32:40I can take care of this all by myself
32:42I'm not playing, Elle
32:43Take it off
32:45You need to sing about your pain
32:47As the real you
32:48Or it ain't never gonna work
32:50Take it off
32:52Do you know who you're talking to?
32:54I had the highest selling debut album
32:55In the history of this company
32:57I built this place
32:58But I am fighting for a comeback, too, Elle
33:00It is do or die for me, too
33:04Okay?
33:05Now let's do this together
33:07But we gotta do it right
33:10I'm all you got

35:57Wow
35:58This guy right here, man
36:00Have a sleep, bro
36:01Oh, that's Jamal Lyon, up-and-coming R&B star.
36:05He just gave you an exclusive peek of his brand-new joint.
36:08It's called I Wanna Love You.
36:10I know you guys felt it because your boy Sway felt it.
36:14And, man, I got to tell you, bro, that song is a banger.
36:16Thank you, man. I appreciate that. Thank you.
36:18Absolutely, man. So what's the deal with you, bro?
36:20You got Keep Your Money is starting to get traction.
36:23Yeah.
36:24I think I Wanna Love You is simply going to explode.
36:27And soon, Jamal Lyon's going to be a contender.
36:30So how does your lady feel about that?
36:33Uh, um, I mean, who says I have a lady?
36:42Wait, wait, hold up, man.
36:43You're going to tell me there's no special girl in your life.
36:50Yeah, honestly, no. I'm just, I'm really in love with my music right now.
36:54No one special.
36:55Wow, okay. You heard it here first, ladies.
36:58Jamal's got a lot of talent.
37:07There you go, big boy.
37:08Yeah, come on. Take a look at it.
37:17Commissioner Marshall.
37:19I know it doesn't bring your front back.
37:21No, but at least justice is getting served.
37:26I owe you.
37:30How do I pay you back?
37:36I owe you.
37:47How do I pay you back?
37:49You still thinking about quitting?
37:51I don't know.
37:53I'll tell you now, things are going to be a lot different.
38:00All right, you okay?
38:02Yeah, I'm good.
38:06Doctor, how do we know that this is going to be safe?
38:07It's already been approved for phase two trials in Moscow, phase one showed excellent results.
38:16Okay, you're not answering my question.
38:18I can't give you the answer that you want.
38:21It's an experimental drug.
38:23But the reality is...
38:26I am dead without it.
38:30Hi.
38:31What is all of this?
38:32ID, please.
38:34What do you mean you need to see my ID?
38:36Do you know who I am?
38:38Of course I know who you are, Ms. Lyon, but there's new security protocol.
38:40I don't care if I know new security.
38:42They're just following the instructions that I gave them.
38:44I'm Malcolm DeVoe, Empire's new head of security.
38:47Oh, good.
38:49Okay.
38:50Hi.
38:50Hi, Mrs. Lyon.
38:52Oh, please, call me Cookie.
38:54Cookie.
38:55Until the system's up and running, we're double-checking IDs of anyone coming into the building.
39:00That's for your safety.
39:01Okay, why didn't you say that?
39:03Here, let me get you ready.
39:04No, please.
39:07Mm-hmm.
39:11I feel safer already, Mr. DeVoe.
39:23Just so we're clear, I didn't know what my dad did.
39:27I gave him an alibi because that's what I've always done.
39:30I guess we're both guilty of putting ourselves on the line for that man.
39:34My father lied to you.
39:35That is something I have never done.
39:39You're right.
39:41I apologize for choking you out.
39:44Team Andre.
39:47You wash your hands first.
39:50I know it's a lot for you to deal with.
39:53It just means we're going to move faster on our plan.
39:56One more thing.
39:58Here, put your hands on me again.
40:00I will slit your throat.
40:06You just make sure you keep taking those meds, boy.
40:14So, I just heard from two pretty decent promoters, but I'm not sure I'm ready for us to go on
40:19tour yet.
40:19I'm going to get you back in that studio while your creative juices are flowing.
40:23Because, boy, you hot right now.
40:24You hot.
40:24Put me on my own like LeBron did wait.
40:27I ain't tripping all these bras, man.
40:28I'm going to get paid.
40:29I haven't seen it.
40:30They won't learn in a minute because they all getting slayed.
40:32I don't trust me.
40:33And these bras ain't about nothing.
40:35Right.
40:35Don't call me.
40:37Don't text.
40:37No discussion.
40:38They all phony.
40:39And that's why I don't trust them.
40:41They all phony.
40:42Oh, my God.
40:45Game.
40:45This is everything.
40:47I won a fast track and put it out ahead of the album.
40:49Oh, absolutely.
40:50It's never too soon to start a buzz.
40:51Look, I'm not doing no soccer mom clean version either.
40:55I'm going straight hardcore with this one.
40:57All right.
40:57Listen, you do you.
40:58Okay?
40:59This is your brand.
41:00And the good thing about this song is it's going to generate enough controversy so we won't even need the
41:03promotion spend.
41:04Oh.
41:07Y'all forgetting one thing, though.
41:09You write a song about how much you hate women and it makes you look like a little bitch.
41:12I don't hate no woman who ain't did me wrong first.
41:15And when this song drops, the majority of people on the dance floor is going to be women.
41:19Exactly.
41:19Anybody with common sense can see that the lyrics are just metaphors.
41:22Just drop the damn song.
41:26I really hope that when you become a star, you can finally let go of all this childish anger.
41:32Become?
41:34I'm already a star, Cookie.
41:42I don't want to leave you in the car.
41:44Okay.
41:45We'll wait.
41:48Oh, how sweet.
41:49Just one big happy family, huh?
41:51Nobody's expecting you?
41:52No.
41:53Nobody's expecting me.
41:53But it's okay because if you just tell them that Olivia is here, they'll know me.
41:56I've known them forever.
41:57Just wait right here.
41:58Okay.
41:59Mr. Lion.
42:01I need to see you.
42:02There's someone over there claiming to be a relative.
42:05You know her?
42:06Hi.
42:06Yeah.
42:07Hey, everybody.
42:08Wait, please.
42:08Hey.
42:09Hi.
42:10Hi, everybody.
42:11Hello.
42:12Long time no see.
42:14Hey, Jamal.
42:17What's up, Olivia?
42:19What you doing?
42:20We heard you on the radio.
42:22Your song.
42:23They will not stop playing it.
42:24And Lola knows all the words.
42:25Sing a song.
42:41She wanted to meet her daddy.
43:24Yeah.
