(SINGING) On the fifth day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me five pounds
of ooowee, four Birkin bags, three AP's, two Bentley trucks,
and everything I want, everything I want.
On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love
gave to me six lavish mansions, five pounds of ooowee,
four Birkin bags, three AP's, two Bentley trucks,
everything I want, everything I want.
On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love
gave to me eight roadies rolling, seven BBS's, six
lavish mansions, and five pounds of ooowee, four Birkin bags,
three AP's, two Bentley trucks, and everything
I want, everything I want.
On the 10th day of Christmas, my true love
gave to me 10 tennis bracelets, nine level with me,
eight roadies rolling, seven BBS's, six lavish mansion,
man we so aggressive with five pounds of ooowee,
four Birkin bag, three--
[music playing]
Knock.
Get up, boss.
There's a whole Christmas party going on downstairs,
and they are asking for you.
Are you really working right now?
I'm almost done.
Well, hurry up because they almost out of deviled eggs.
Is that what I smell?
Don't do that.
Don't do that cause you can now smell my breath from all
the way over there.
Sent.
Nobody can tell me I'm not the hardest working CEO
in the game.
Let's get this money.
I'm so happy you brought up money.
I just was trying to see if you're in the holiday spirit.
See if I can get a little Christmas bonus.
You ready for your Christmas bonus?
Are you ready for it?
I'm so ready.
Close your eyes.
Put your hand out.
Oh, yes, I'm ready--
Are you ready for the blessing?
Yes, I'm ready for my blessing.
OK.
All right.
I'm ready for it.
Take it.
Open your eyes.
Open it right now.
It's a mint.
I need you to suck on that.
And no more deviled eggs.
Let's go.
What?
Boss, I have the perfect idea.
When we pick up Mega from jail, to make him feel comfortable.
No, Mel.
You should let me pick him up dressed as Mrs. Claus to get
him in the Christmas spirit.
No, Mel.
OK.
Well, how about before we take him to the hotel,
we fill it up with a couple ho ho ho's.
No.
Come on, boss.
I'm just trying to get him in the Christmas spirit.
Bad bitch alert.
Who is that?
That's the new VP.
That's Jai?
That is Jai Turner.
Want me to introduce you?
I'll introduce you.
No.
Hey, Jai.
No, no.
Stop it.
You don't have to announce when LeBron takes the court.
LeBron?
Boy, you 5'10".
My internship at the Source magazine is where
everything's--
Hey, hey, hey.
Yo, my guy.
There he goes.
My guy.
Big Phil.
Jai, this is Blare Nixon.
He runs a boutique label under Capitol.
Big Boss Entertainment, I'm familiar.
Ms. Turner.
Pleasure's all mine.
I read about you in the company newsletter.
Oh, wow.
Thank you for reading up on me.
You just call me, Jai.
Thanks to Blare, we were able to bring Special K to Capitol.
The highest selling female artist of last year.
Hey, man, three number one singles in one year.
But who's counting, right?
I think Katy Perry was looking for you down at the bar.
Yeah.
I'll see you.
Have a good night, brother.
It was great to see you.
So starting things off at a corporate party, huh?
A little stiff for me though.
Though, one thing you don't have to worry about
is Big Boss Entertainment.
All we do is make hits.
Looking forward to discussing that.
Sweetie.
Yes.
Can I got a bottle of Ace of Spades, please?
Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. Nixon.
But we're all out of the regular bottles.
We only have the six liter mathusalem bottle,
and that one's $20,000.
Well, good thing I have $20,000.
Please bring one out.
Put it on my table in the back.
You might need some help drinking that, Mr. Nixon.
Well, it looks like I got all the help I need right here.
No, thank you.
Would you excuse me.
No, we can dri--
ouch.
So you still want that bottle or not?
Hey.
I didn't know you were here.
Yeah, just getting some work done.
Just like old days?
Always come to Mama's bed when you got to do your homework.
Speaking of work, how's it going with John?
Well, ever since he gave me the promotion,
it's been super busy.
Oh, Vivian works for Comedy Central now.
So I basically run all of the new series.
Vivian.
I don't like her.
Hold on one second.
So I had Calla Blanche resize my dress.
I would like for you to wear it when you marry Jayson.
Your wedding dress?
Yes.
I think I always thought that you would want Kelsey
to wear your wedding dress.
I mean, she idolizes you and followed your footsteps,
and I didn't.
Now I know our relationship wasn't easy,
with you being stubborn and all.
And Lord knows, you talked back.
You challenged me.
I see a lot of me in you.
I'm sorry to have ever disrespected you in any way.
Come here.
I know I wasn't the easiest child to raise.
This is true.
I love you, too, Mom.
I love you, too, sweetie.
I'm so proud of you.
You know, you young boys are too flashy these days.
All you just need is one suit, one chain, and keep it moving.
Blare, that is entirely too much jewelry.
Pops, you sound crazy.
When all those hot, bothered brides maids.
See all this ice?
Where you think they going to skate to, Pops?
Right here.
What you think, Jojo.
Your dad is right, Blare.
That's way too much jewelry for a wedding.
Clean and classy is the way to go.
I'm sorry, Jojo.
Who asked you?
Thank you, Jojo.
Here's the thing, Blare.
You're going to be wearing all that jewelry,
you got to step your security game up, son.
Don't get jacked out here.
Now your pop's got a lot of pull in the city,
but you still got to respect the game, son.
Pops, I'm a Nixon.
I ain't got to worry about nothing.
You mighty quiet over there, Jayson.
Ready to marry my sister?
Yeah.
Yeah, I am.
I don't like that hesitation.
Are you ready to marry my sister?
Yes.
I am-- I am absolutely-- let's do the wedding today.
You know, Jayson, that makes me feel very good.
Because if I hear you trying to divorce my daughter,
I'm going to take it to the streets on you.
You understand?
Copy that.
So Blare-- Mr. Blare player, when are you
going to walk down that aisle?
You know, Pops, I'm thinking more of the Hugh Hefner
approach to life.
I want to die in a grotto full of women.
Son, listen, you're going to keep messing around
with all these girls and you're going to catch something.
And your balls going to fall right out the sack and roll
right out your pants leg.
Whoa.
No, hey.
What's wrong with you?
That's extreme.
That's a little extreme.
This guy.
If I may just switch gears for a second?
Mr. Nixon, I wanted to--
I wanted to thank you for being a father figure to me.
You know, I kind of always figured
that my dad would be here in this moment.
And I just want to say I'm proud to be sharing it with you.
Uh, Jayson, I'm sure your dad would have been
very proud of you, as I am.
And I couldn't be more happier than calling you my son.
And I ain't talking about that in-law crap.
I'm saying my son son.
Bring it in.
Blare, stop it.
[sobs]
Stop it.
Oh, my God.
This is such a beautiful moment.
Hug one more time.
He's jealous.
Let me into the hug.
He's jealous.
Let me into the hug.
He's jealous.
He's [muted] jealous.
Welcome to the family.
Wait.
So I'm in the will now?
No.
Hey, don't get cocky.
[laughter]
So Jayson, after this expensive ass wedding,
I'm going to be ready for some grandkids.
What?
Like three?
I was thinking more the lines of like seven.
And if you need some help, I can call my boy Nick Cannon.
He can give you some tips.
What?
Oh, hell no.
All right, guys, I got to go.
What's going on, son?
You all right?
Oh, I will be.
Bringing some weed back.
[music playing]
(SINGING) Look at my problem, nobody solve it.
You can keep hating on papa regardless.
Why?
What do you mean why?
I'm not at liberty to ask that woman why.
She just told me that was the only day she had available.
And that was the day you were seeing Mega.
I'm sorry.
Damn it.
I'm sorry.
Signing Mega is priority number one.
You know that.
I do.
OK.
All Right Well, why don't you just tell her you can't do it?
You the boss.
Just tell her?
You are the-- well, say it until you mean it.
I'm the boss.
Say it with your chest.
I'm the boss.
You sure about that?
I'm the boss.
Say it again.
I'm the boss.
Say it with your chest.
I'm the boss.
That's right.
I'm the boss.
Tell her you the boss.
I'm the boss.
Oh, yes.
Like that.
I'm the boss.
I'm going to tell her I'm the boss.
Yes.
I'm the boss.
I'm the--
Hi.
We were just talking about our meeting for Friday.
We're so excited about that.
So excited.
Likewise.
I was just on your floor, so I thought
I'd come by your lovely office to check it out.
Well, just make yourself at home.
Wow.
I remember this photo.
This was Summer Jam 1999.
Your parents were on the Hard Knock Life Tour.
Yeah, that was a good one.
What you know about that?
I was too young to go.
My aunt said I couldn't go, but I snuck out and I went anyway.
And the whole city was out.
It was hit after hit.
Such a golden era.
So I take it you're a fan of the Nixon's?
Your parents.
So for the meeting on Friday, I'm
going to need your master budget.
I need to know what's coming in and what's going out.
All right?
I need to know how funds are being
allocated within your artists.
And I need profit margins, but real ones.
No estimates, please.
OK?
You guys are first up.
You good?
OK, have a nice day.
OK.
Thank you.
[music playing]
(SINGING) I've been popping since my demo, [muted]..
Yeah.
Bust the bales down in the kitchen, [muted],, Yeah.
Cookin' coke up, water whip that [muted],, Yeah.
Pull the boat up, we want all the bricks, Yeah.
Call your [muted] up, she take all [muted]..
Yeah.
I took four, I feel like a rocket shit, Yeah.
Mega.
How you feeling?
Slow motion, man.
I've just been writing every day, all day.
I had to knock some fool out on the yard like two weeks back.
Yeah, like that.
Other than that, man, I'm just holding my head.
You dig?
I'll be home soon.
Two years in the joint, I never folded.
Never folded.
Rightfully so.
And as soon as those gates open up, you know it's over, right?
You know I got the Rolls Royce truck, the IG models,
the Ace of Spades on ice, and a partridge in a pear
tree waiting for you, baby.
You a real one, man.
For real.
You crazy though, but you a real one.
You know I got you.
I appreciate all the support that you was showing me
he said something down.
It's what we doing, man.
Gave any think to what we talked about?
You know you're home is at Big Boss Entertainment.
And you know I done had every record label CEO come
through here and see me too.
From Khaled, the Puff, to Jay-Z, you name it, everybody.
I mean, you should be killing it right now.
I mean, you got your sister.
What's her name?
Special K, right?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, she dope.
Real dope.
But check this out.
The thing is, you ain't got the track
record these other bulls got.
Now they're all legends, but they're not as hungry as me.
And none of them are going to work for you to get you back
on top the way that I will.
I'm listening.
Run the play down to me?
Oh, baby.
As soon as you get out, we're doing a big welcome back show
at NRG Stadium.
I got it lined up, sold out.
Quick domestic run.
We going to do all the major festivals, international run.
Check this out.
I'm dropping a double album as soon as I get out of here.
I got Jay, I got Kendrick, I got Cole.
I got them all lined up to be here with me.
You and I both know I got a lot to get off my chest.
I just signed the biggest distribution deal
Capitol Records has ever seen in their life.
You won't have to worry about no type of label, bureaucracy.
You don't have to worry about no album delays, no pushbacks.
All you got to do is come rock with your brother,
and the game is ours.
Everybody's waiting.
I just talked to Quavo.
He has his verse ready to go.
Are you ready?
You ready to really do this?
You know I am.
Been ready for this.
Let's get it.
Say less!
You the biggest in the game.
Big Boss Entertainment.
Let's go.
Hey man.
Sound good.
University of Houston's honorary degree recipients
are individuals whose professional success
is measured by the service they provided
and the change they've made in their respective fields.
I'm here with the two recipients today, hip hop royalty.
Donnell and Tina Nixon.
How does it feel to be honored?
How does it feel?
Well, first off, it's good to see you again, Cierra.
I'm so happy you're not causing chaos in my house.
My pastor told me not to hold any grudges, so I'm going to--
I'm going to let that slide, all right?
To receive this honored doctorate is a blessing.
Yes.
It's an honor.
It's a privilege.
Me and my wife, Tina, accepted so many,
many, many awards in the past, but this one right here--
this right here--
That's right.
--it's special.
It's the best.
You want to know why?
Because now, all of you got to call me a doctor.
Whoever would have thought Papa Dr. Nixon?
Yeah.
Yes.
Well, I just have to say that it feels
good to be recognized for the talent
and for our contributions to the arts.
It's amazing.
It is amazing.
And tell you the truth, we should have got these awards
last year.
Oh, baby.
Not here.
Not here?
OK.
Shout out to Dean Max.
Dean Max, where you at?
Dean Max.
To whom I had to send another case of Ace of Spade
to this year.
Also to the executive committee board of trustees, to whom
I had to attend multiple, multiple bar
mitzvahs for their families.
Also deliver a year's supply of Wingstop chicken wings
to their families as well.
But the Nixon family, we're forever so grateful though.
Yes.
We're forever grateful.
We are grateful.
Grateful.
Right.
OK, Donnell.
Oh, oh.
Dr. Donnell.
Baby.
Excuse me.
Dr. Donnell.
Get used to it.
What would you say to those who object
to you receiving these awards?
Question.
Tell them, baby.
Well, to all the haters, all the bitter haters
that's just sitting on the couch watching, doing nothing,
accept it.
Dr. Tina and Donnell MD up in bit--.
[laughs]
Reminder.
Cancel political science donation to the University
of Houston.
I first met Jai when she was interning at the Source
magazine.
She was like 16 years old.
Now I hired her because she had great taste, well respected
in the industry, and she knew how
to take care of these books.
I agree, Omar.
She's dope.
I worked with her at Sony before I came to Motown.
Yeah, I've heard nothing but great things.
I met her through Mac Man at the Rock Nation party.
Yeah.
At the brunch.
This was when she was consulting for Young Money.
That's right.
I forgot she consulted on Pink Friday.
Facts.
And Wayne's album.
Hello, everybody.
Hey.
What's the deal?
Thank you for coming.
What's up?
I know you guys have your busy schedule,
so I appreciate this so much.
No problem.
We wanted you to know how supported you were.
Thank you.
Absolutely.
Thank you.
Facts.
That means a lot.
OK, so I might be biased, but I feel
like the urban division is by far the most important
department at Capitol.
Definitely.
We got number one artist, trendsetters.
And they define cool.
They absolutely define cool.
And as much as I want to talk about talent right now,
we got to talk about budgets, guys.
So Blare.
Huh?
Can we start with Big Boss Entertainment?
Well, I'm not a morning person.
All right, guys, Big Boss Entertainment's
having our best year ever.
My sister, Special K, is the number one selling
female artist of the year.
And I am about to sign Mega to the biggest deal
that Capitol Records has ever seen.
We're going on a 30-city tour.
He's about to drop a double album.
And I'm about to buy all of you a very nice Christmas gift.
So if you'll excuse me.
OK, but I'm looking at these reports from Capitol,
and you're way over budget.
So how are you going to make that happen.
Well, sweetheart, all you have to do is send me some more cash
and I'll make it all back and then some.
That's usually how these things work.
Come on, Blare.
Hold on.
You trying to tell us how this works?
And then speaking of your sister, Special K.
If I'm reading this correctly, the profits we used for other
operating costs, including the private jet for your personal
use, two Rolls-Royce--
How am I supposed to get around?
Late payments on three black cards.
Mm-mmm.
There was a grace period on that last one.
And non-work related trips to Greece, San Tropez, and Monaco.
You want me to call your dad?
Relax.
You got to get the spending down.
You heard what she said.
Come on.
Guys, Mega's the biggest artists in the game.
And I already promised him a big deal.
So don't make me go back on my word.
You mean that you added another artist to the roster
with no money?
What are we talking about here?
I would love for him to be part of the family.
But there are other labels under the same umbrella, Capitol
and Universal.
And they actually have the resources to sign him.
You, unfortunately, do not.
Big Boss does not.
I can't approve you signing Mega.
And you need to get your spending down.
Big dog, we should put Mega with P and Coach on Quality Control.
What you think?
Monica?
Yeah, that'll work.
That works.
Definitely.
We still keep him in the family.
Just not here.
I've been working on Mega for the past year.
You guys are going to do me like that?
Got to get to spending down, man.
You do.
I'm going to tell your wife about the strip club.
That's what I'm gone do.
Is that what we doing?
That's what I'm going to do.
Jai.
Can I talk to you for a second?
No, I'm sorry.
I have another meeting to go.
Hold on.
Jai, you know it makes sense for me to sign Mega.
Look, Blare, I hate to break it to you,
but you have one big artist.
One.
The rest of the acts, they haven't even
turned a profit to Capitol.
What are you talking about?
My group Skinny Jeans is like the next NSYNC.
And Jayson, I mean, that guy's like a Black Bruno Mars.
That's a bit of a stretch.
But even if it came to fruition, this is our reality right now.
You're over budget.
There's tons of labels on Capitol
that would be happy to sign Mega,
and they actually have the dollars.
He'll still be on Capitol.
We could still put him over on Motown with Ethiopia, Coach
and P. We talked about it already.
I'm not putting him on Motown with Coach and P.
He needs to be with me.
I've been working on this for over a year.
You're just trying to give him away.
Blare, I have to go.
If you want to continue this conversation,
you can call my assistant, make an appointment,
like a professional.
OK?
Have a nice day.
[music playing]
(SINGING) Can't we just talk?
Have a nice day?
(SINGING) Can't we just talk?
Damn.
Vincent this is goofy.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah, you feel that?
Yes.
OK.
There you go.
Sit on down.
All right.
Sit on down.
Am I there?
Yeah, you there.
Sit there.
OK.
Yeah, take you a little sip of this.
Yeah.
OK, sip of what?
Where?
Here.
Open your eyes.
Oh.
[gasps]
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah, I got something for you, baby.
You don't even know what today is.
Do you know what today is?
Um.
Boom.
Looking at me.
Oh.
Looking at me.
Yeah.
When the rose petals fall all on your hair, I can be your elf.
Let me be the one.
I'm going to give you the gingerbread cookie,
'cause I love you.
You don't know what day it is.
Do this thing.
Boom.
Watch me do my dance up.
I'm the nasty elf.
Yeah.
Vincent, what are you--
I'm the nasty elf.
Yeah.
Be your nasty elf.
Garcon.
My dear, I'll take another one.
And make it Irish.
Looks like I'm going to be here for a while.
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you.
Hello.
You people really take your CP time seriously, don't you?
You people?
When are you going to realize you're Black too.
So is it just you?
Yes, it is just me.
I was waiting for my youngest daughter,
but something came up.
Thank you, dear.
Hello, ma'am.
Would you like to start with anything to drink?
I would.
I'd have a caramel iced latte.
Thank you.
OK.
The wedding is coming upon us very quickly.
Christmas, no less.
But before we get there, the shower.
That's priority.
You mean, the bridal tea.
Every time I hear the word shower,
I think of Walmart chic cake and plastic utensils.
Good Lord.
I went ahead and I booked Chef Diane, the hottest
chef in the market, specializing in gourmet soul food.
That sounds more like one of those ghetto Nixon cookouts.
Dear, I have a personal relationship
with the governor's French Chef.
All I have to do is call her.
No strings, just connections.
Insult me again, Lucifer, and I'm taking my jewelry off.
It's my house and I got it.
I just thought that the word ghetto in the hip hop world
was a term of endearment.
Now speaking of the ceremony-- thank you, dear.
Since our children have pushed up the big day,
all the venues are booked.
So I only think it is right that we have the wedding at my home.
Now, my garden is featured in Architectural Digest
every year.
So it is absolutely perfect for this wedding.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
What do you mean, no, no, no, no, no, no, no?
Fountain of Prayers.
They've squeezed us in on Christmas Day.
Good news I wanted to tell you.
[laughs] Absolutely not.
My son's nuptials will not be presided over by a minister
with a diamond grill and a Jheri curl.
If you host the shower--
bridal tea-- I will host the wedding.
If you think you're about to take
over my daughter's wedding, you better think twice.
It's my son's wedding, too.
And yes, I will be stepping in whether you like it or not.
Jesus, please, contain me so that I
don't jump across this table and strangle this woman.
Well, let's look bright side.
After this dreadful day, we will never
have to be in the same room again.
Finally something we can agree upon.
(SINGING) I'm in my bag.
G6.
Well, all my [muted] ride fly, we on the same thing.
Lumps in my pocket.
That's 50 bands and these Balmains.
Yep, [muted] the living.

Hey, Icey, run that [muted] back, bro.
Whoa.
That's what I'm talking about.
That's the energy we on.
Let's go.
Ain't ready to see you back on top of them charts.
Man, listen, I feel all that, but you got to go to work.
Consider it done.
Come on, man.
It's championship season.
Get on them phones, make them calls.
Let's go in locked.
What's up?
Nowhere.
What up Slime?
What's up?
You have a session right now with DJ Khalid.
What are you doing?
Yes.
I'm all for affirmations, but if I hear another one
or bless up one more time--
Yo, this little sis?
In the flesh.
Queen to you.
Oh, my bad, Special.
My bad, queen.
I've been waiting to meet you.
Was listening to your [muted] when I was locked up.
Yeah, you be killing the summer hit after hit, too.
Yeah.
You know how I do.
Let me see something.
Bro, run that-- run that track back from the top.
Duet?
Got you.
[music playing]
Yeah, if I like the song.
If you like the song, huh?
I like this song.
You played this for me, right?
Yeah.
Oh.
Do that second verse you did.
Yeah, I got you.
Yeah.
Look.
(SINGING) All my queen ride and fly.
We on that trip.
Rose truck, Met Gala in that Chanel.
Hoes wack.
[muted] can't spit like I spit.
No time to play my [muted] because I'm a rich [muted]..
Oh.
OK.
No, no.
That sounded-- that sounded real good.
I got to get you on an album.
And I damn sure got to get you on the tour.
Well, I just got off a tour.
It's sold out in every city.
But I'll definitely think about being on your album.
You spicy as hell.
I didn't expect nothing less.
I'm feeling you though.
Oh.
I am down to be on your album.
You know what else is spicy?
My mom's cooking.
This is my sister and we got dinner tonight.
All right?
I'll leave you all to it.
Get some work done, OK?
Yeah.
I'm going to put in some work.
Man, that beat fire.
Well, I should get back to my session.
No, no, no, no, no.
You should be handing me your phone
so I can slide my number in it.
Let me get that.
OK.
Don't hesitate neither.
Call me when you're ready to work.
All right.
I'll see you, boy.
Yeah, all right.
It smell good up in here.
Why don't it smell like that when you cooking, baby?
Really?
For your approval, Mr. and Mrs. Nixon.
Thank you, chef.
Chef Diane, you have done it again.
Yes, sir.
This is that smack your grandma in church good, baby.
I've never heard of that.
Chef Di, can we have a little bit more yams?
Certainly.
Yeah.
You know who else like yams?
Donnell, stop it, please.
You didn't say that last night.
Would you go upstairs and let me work, please?
OK.
I'm going to go.
When y'all done with this tasting, let me know.
I'll be upstairs.
And please, chef, could you please--
Put a huge plate to the side?
You got it, sir.
You the best.
I'll be upstairs with no drawers on.
You really should start locking your front doors.
What are you doing in my house?
You can place that right there, dear.
Are you hard of hearing?
What are you doing in my house?
I figured I come early, bring some other dishes
for those who do not want high blood pressure or diabetes.
Well, you about to be walking out of here on crutches.
You back up out of my kitchen, crazy.
Ms. Nancy, I acquired those files you requested.
And Judge Taylor did confirm that he will be at the charity
auction for New Year's.
That's fantastic.
Thank you, Tiffany.
No, no, no, you didn't?
What?
You brought this fast thing inside my house.
There's no need to be crass.
I told you, I hired someone to run my day to day.
And that's the only person you could find?
Jayson's ex?
OK, let's be fair and balanced here.
My name is Tiffany.
It's not that hard to pronounce.
Yes, and Tiffany will be by my side
to make sure that my affairs do not fall behind
so I can focus on this wedding.
You are so wrong for this.
And Tiffany, I don't know you, sweetie.
But you got to go.
Fair and balanced, you sound like you
watch Fox News all day.
If you could just act like a mature adult for once,
Ms. Tina.
If you could just be a Black human being for once, Nancy.
OK, listen, look, I'll just help Nancy with a few things
and I'll be out your hair.
OK?
Look, Jennifer won't even know I was here.
Right.
My daughter's name is Jessica.
After you.
Chef Di, I want you to take all those items the early guests
brought, throw them out.
Yes, ma'am.
[music playing]
I promised your sister this tasting would be drama free.
OK.
I can make it drama free after I beat her ass.
It's on site for me and her, Mama.
Kelsey.
This--
No drama.
I mean it.
OK.
Yeah, so it's right over here.
You can get comfortable, make yourself at home.
Mi casa su casa, girl.
What is this?
It's an-- karma.
What?
Hey.
What are you doing?
I should have beat your ass on site, ho.
Let me out.
Jessica's coming in.
Shut up.
OK.
And I am all done for the day.
Did you need anything else?
You know what?
I think I'm all good, actually.
OK.
Are you staying late tonight?
No, I'm just going to unpack a couple of boxes
and then head home.
So you're good.
OK, well I'll see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
Bye.
(SINGING) You can't even call they phone.
You can't even ask how the day was.
Nothing in life's guaranteed, you'll see.
Uh.
I'm not being difficult. I just see thing differently when
I say I wanna to see you.
Yeah, Mom, the short.
The short?
OK.
And, oh, we need to discuss the drinks.
OK.
Can we just do Ace of Spades and Brown Sugar Bourbon?
Absolutely.
I'd like to support the Black brand where we can.
OK.
I will let the caterer know.
Speaking of, the tasting will exist
of pot roasts, candied yams, collard greens, some mac
and cheese, cornbread, and okra.
Oh.
Yes.
Can't wait.
I'm so hungry.
Dear, dear, dear.
You should really watch what you consume right now.
I mean, you don't want to look back on your wedding photos
and have a puffy face and a body shaped like a U-Haul truck.
Do you have to do this?
Nancy, I've been so--
This hood rat kidnapped me and locked me in the elevator.
Who you calling a hood rat?
Because I should have beat your ass on sight.
What is she doing here?
She is my temporary assistant until after the wedding.
Dear, I thought you had left.
No.
Why is she here in our house again?
Because I was invited.
Bitch.
By who?
Look, this does not have to get physical.
[screaming]
Oh, Kelsey.
Oh, my God.
Nancy.
My quaff.
And I feel like I'm melting.
I think I'm melting.
Oh, my God.
[music playing]
Why would your sister throw a drink at my mom?
Oh, is that what she said?
Yes, that is what she said.
Yeah.
That drink was intended for your ex.
I spoke to my mom again, and I told her again
that she needs to start respecting you,
and your family.
Oh.
And don't worry about Tiffany, OK?
She don't even work with my mama no more,
so you're not going to see her no more, OK?
I'm really starting to lose trust in you, Jayson.
Run that back.
Trust?
Did I do something?
Trust?
Now that your little singing career is taking off--
OK, I didn't mean little.
Now that you're singing career is taking off,
you know how this goes.
There will be more, Jayson.
You are mad at me for hoes that ain't happened yet.
[laughs]
That's funny.
I'm kidding.
I'm playing.
I'm kidding.
It was a joke.
It's not a funny one.
The best thing that you ever told me.
Jayson, oh, you know, speaking of big--
let's talk about your bachelor party.
How many strippers are you planning on having?
Huh?
Strippers.
How many?
I don't even know.
You know what?
I don't think that they're even really planning anything.
I think we're just going to hit a bar.
Oh, great.
Just keep it light, yeah.
I'll do it.
You'll do-- you'll do what?
I'll plan it.
No.
You don't got to--
that's so sweet.
Oh, I--
No.
I do insist.
Oh, no.
I got it.
I'll start now.
I know there's somebody else that--
Houston spas.
Now what the hell are you doing, fart knocker?
Is it heavy?
I'm like burning you so we can get some money.
Is it heavy?
Visualize it.
OK, but just don't touch--
Holding the weight of the worst bachelor party in history.
--is going to hurt you more than it hurt--
All right, you know what?
I can't take this.
I can't do this.
Come on over here to my office, y'all.
Come on.
Jayson, my daughter threw you a bachelor party with no club,
no drugs, no friends.
And most of all, no strippers.
Like who does that?
This is like a kiddie party for adults.
And you, son, you're running around
here like a little rookie biacha because you
got your ass handed to you by your new fine ass boss.
All I know, there's supposed to be some strippers
around this time.
That's all I know.
Bun B, don't start your [muted].
I'm just saying, man, it's a bachelor party, Ain't no.
No, look.
Don't start your [muted].
Don't start.
I know.
Let me quarterback this, all right?
Get it right.
Now Jayson, you're going to have to put your mama in check.
All right?
Because what she's doing is unacceptable.
You've got to protect your wife, son.
Like I did.
Let me tell you something.
My mama didn't want me to marry Tina.
Damn.
Really?
So what did you do?
I told her Black ass, Ma, Mother,
if you can't respect my wife, then don't
expect to see me or my family.
Wow.
So what wound up happening?
Why don't we let Blare answer that?
Oh, I've never met my grandma.
Exactly.
Now Jayson, you got to grow a pair.
You got to grow some balls.
And got to talk to your mother.
Also talk to that girl Tiffany and put her in check
and shut all this [muted] down.
And you, too, son.
You got to grow a pair too.
Stop playing with this girl.
Put that Nixon charm on her and go get that wap.
Wouldn't that with your young folks say?
That wap?
Wap.
Yeah.
And I know this girl, J man.
That's a good girl.
What you need to do, take her to lunch.
Maybe she'll let her guards down and she'll hear you out.
Just a little free game.
Yeah.
Wine and dine her thing.
And pull out all the stops because you got a sign Mega.
Now who's ready to go to the booty club
and lie and say we went bowling?
Oh, I'm down.
All right, well, come on.
Come on.
[muted], let's go.
Just really quaint bachelorette party.
We've got some pampering.
I've got my tribe, and some cocktails.
I mean, this is cute and all.
But Jess, where are the strippers?
Oh.
Where they at?
At the strip club where they belong, Trish.
But for real, Jess.
How are you feeling?
Is Jayson's mom still acting out?
Did I tell you?
You remember Jayson's ex Tiffany?
Girl, yes.
Well, she invited her to my mom's house.
What?
Are you serious?
Yes.
You know what Jess?
That is why I love you.
Because you have so much more patience than me.
I could never marry a man who could not control his mother.
No way.
No.
Trish is right, Jess.
You have to get the situation under control.
All right, if I'm being really truthful.
It pisses me off and it makes me want to drink more.
So can we do this subject?
Yes.
Cheers to your truth.
Yeah.
I just want to say, don't you worry about Nancy.
She is going to get in line.
She don't want no smoke with me.
I ain't the one.
I know that's right.
Ms. Tina do not play.
The younger me would have slapped her up long time ago.
But you know what?
I'm trying to be nice, set a good example
for you and your sister.
But speaking of your sister, I overheard her talking
about some guy named Mega.
She thinks he's cute.
Who's Mega?
Oh, he is so fine, y'all.
But he's a thought.
So tell her to be careful with him.
Do you have seven kids?
And not only that.
He stay in and out of jail.
I hate a jailbird.
Me too.
Well, you know, Kelsey loves him.
She likes him really hood, huh?
She must get that from you, Mom.
But what I will say is, your father definitely
was rough around the edges.
But one thing I never had to deal with was other women.
He never disrespected me like that.
Facts.
[doorbell]
Who is that?
Why are you looking at me?
Because I know it's one of you all.
Did you-- did you get the stripper?
No.
I didn't.
I think she bought a stripper.
Well, Look at it like this.
I told Jayson he didn't have to get me anything.
Girl, hurry up.
Open it.
OK.
It's pretty.
OK.
Wow.
Whoa.
Jayson.
Consider this, here's something new and something blue.
Oh.
Derek.
(SINGING) Why?
Why?
What?
I thought you and Derek were done.
I did too.
(SINGING) Baby, tell me why.
You need another shot?
Yes.
(SINGING) I caught it bad just today.
You hit me--
Thanks for joining me for a last minute lunch.
What's all this?
Me and a few members of the Houston Rockets own this place.
It's really popping on the weekend.
You should pull up.
I don't do clubs.
A bottle?
What is this?
Oh, that's BSB.
This is delicious.
My good friend Jamie Foxx owns it.
So I thought we'd have a drink while we chat.
Blare, it's noon.
Sit down.
Just so you know, I have a hard out at 1:00.
All right.
Now, when it comes to people on the street,
when it comes to athletes, entertainers, rappers,
they all trust me because I take care of them.
Blare, you don't have to do this.
No, hear me out, OK?
We need Mega on Big Boss.
He deserves a CEO that can get the job done, like me.
And quite frankly, you're making my job really hard.
OK?
Now when I brought Big Boss to Capitol
it's because the chairman promised me
that I would get the support that I need.
And quite frankly, Jai, I'm not feeling the love.
Money doesn't grow off of trees.
For you to sign an artist of Mega's stature,
that's a big number.
And you're already in the red, like millions.
OK.
Listen.
You're talking numbers, OK?
I'm talking success.
The Nixon's are success.
Big Boss is success.
But we can't be successful without you on the team.
So I got you something.
This is an $80,000 bag.
Consider it an early Christmas gift.
I see how you be dressing.
And this will only compliment all of that.
So why don't you take this and let's be friends, OK?
We don't have to tell about it.
Take this $80,000 and go pay off some of that debt
that your company owes.
Whoa.
Where are you going?
This lunch or whatever this is, is done.
All right, Jai, just chill.
I thought--
You thought that you could buy me like you buy
everything and everyone else?
You see, Blare, you might be that guy around here.
You're not self-made.
You've had everything handed to you.
Excuse me.
So let me get this right, son.
You try to bribe her with the bag.
And of course, after that, she thought you was goofy.
And now, you feeling her?
Yeah, pretty much.
Son, I'm not going to lie.
That is a real rookie move.
A real rookie bitch move.
I kid.
Son, why don't you figure out if this is a physical attraction
or you really like her.
Pops, it's not just a physical attraction.
I mean, here I am.
Full Blare Nixon mode.
I give her the eyes, and it doesn't work.
I mean, this girl is smart and she's a boss.
I've never met anybody like her.
And when I'm talking to her, it's
like something just comes over my body.
You know what?
I think that's called an erection.
No.
Not that.
I mean, it's not that.
I felt like for the first time, I messed up
and I wanted a do over.
Do over?
Boy, you remind me of myself when I was young.
Cocky, ambitious.
Knew I could turn every no into a yes.
Running the show and I wanted everyone to know.
You know what I realized what I was really missing?
Weed.
That's a good one.
And that too.
Yes, sir.
But I was missing the true meaning of love
from a strong, ambitious, got her own [muted] woman,
like your mother.
I guess what I'm saying is, son, if you want real love,
if you want true love, you're going to have to lose the pride
and lose the ego.
Wise words from an old man.
Hey.
She's fine, huh?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, I know your style.
Yeah.
Ma.
[music playing]
Ma, wake up.
(SINGING) It's a party.
Everybody, throw you drink.
Wait.
I'm here to help.
Ooh.
You was a mess last night, girl.
Well, we had 20 bottles of champagne
and didn't go to sleep till 5:00 this morning.
I feel horrible.
[toilet flushing]
Oh.
Jayson will be home any minute.
Where's the necklace, Mom.
The necklace is right there on the table.
Oh, good.
I still can't believe this fool Derek
bought you a $80,000 necklace.
And you ain't do nothing with him?
Are you sure you're just not telling me?
Oh, my God.
100 time, girl.
Absolutely not.
If you say so [muted].
You ain't got to lie to kick it, girl.
What up, boy?
Yeah.
The man himself.
What up, baby.
This track going platinum.
Cooking, boy.
I already know.
What you talking about?
For real.
No games being played.
What up, boy?
My brother.
You know what they say, right?
Yesterday's price is not today's price.
Word to that boy Fat Joe.
What's happening?
Can we talk for a sec?
There's this new executive.
I mean, she's incredible, but she's really hard.
And she's cutting down my budget.
So I got it.
I just need a little time to square everything away.
Bro, do not gas me right now, OK?
You know I got two options just a case you can
pull doing what you promised.
Speaking of, Rolls-Royces, ain't like you bought it anyway.
You know, Hov just sent me a new one yesterday.
OK, I get it.
Jay is great.
Just give me a little time.
I'm going to work everything out, like I always do.
And we'll be good.
All right, I'll give you 72 hours.
I've been locked up for two years.
See, I can't let you or your goofy ass label play
with my dreams, bro.
What's up?
Excuse me.
Where you going?
To see Mega.
Why?
You guys already finished the record together.
Why are you all up in my business?
You're both on the same label.
So let's not make things complicated.
I heard that he's not on Big Boss yet, and he may never be.
Mega is hitting anything that can walk.
And I don't need you caught up in that, all right?
Can you let me live my life?
You're being very annoying right now.
Please, get out of my way.
I'ma drink all our liquors.
Yall gone see.
Out with the old Nixon--
In with the new.
Can I talk to you for a second?
Yeah.
Damn, what you got on?
What's all of this?
My vibe.
Uh-uh.
You told me to come here.
That you wanted to work on some music ideas,
and it was a closed session.
I still do.
It's just-- can we talk about this later?
(SINGING) I just forgot where I was.
You really got the wrong bitch, OK?
I'm don't do all of this [muted] right here.
I'm just-- I'm going to just escort myself out of here
before I get real ugly.
Yeah, girl, it's funny.
I'm so scared of you getting real ugly in here.
Show you how I'm feeling, I ain't even mad.
[music playing]
(SINGING) Because it's Christmas in the city.
And baby, I need you bad.
Knock, knock.
Not right now, Blare.
I do not have the time.
Well, it has nothing to do with Mega.
As a matter of fact, it's already a dead deal.
What can I do for you, Big Boss?
I'd like to start over.
Sure.
Is that it?
That's it.
Nice office.
Can you not-- can you stop it?
Stop it.
Wow.
The c-suite.
I love it.
Is that you?
Please, don't touch that.
You look so young.
What's that supposed to mean?
It just means, like, you look the same, just younger here.
I mean, but you look great.
You look amazing both ways.
Like, then and now.
You look fantastic.
But I mean, but you also--
your brain is incredible, too.
Like you're smart.
The whole thing.
Full package person.
Any family photos?
No.
I don't have a family.
What do you mean?
Well, if you had read the company newsletter,
like you said you had, you would know
that I was in foster care for 18 years.
You know what?
I'm going to let you get back to it.
They'll fix that.
No worries about that.
I'm right down the hall.
Watch out.
So if you need anything, I'm right here.
Just leave--
I'm right here.
Put it--
OK?
If you need anything, just let me know, all right?
I'm leaving.
So how are you feeling today?
I'm fine.
I haven't drank like that since college days.
[laughs]
Mm-hmm.
Hmm.
Did you give Derek back his necklace?
Oh, yes.
Quickly.
Smart girl.
[doorbell]
[music playing]
What now?
Ms. Tina, we need to talk.
$5 million?
It was a murder case, Tina.
And even though this happened back in 1995,
and Donnell was found innocent on more of the serious charges,
the law still says that they can sue you for civil damages.
Well, I think they're trying to extort us because we're famous.
This isn't right, Cameron.
I'm trying, Tina.
I promise, I'm trying.
But they are not budging.
Look, I need you to try harder.
This past year, we have been in the news again.
We've lost a couple of endorsement deals.
Money is a bit tight these days.
Babe, I need you to rub some of that special edible oil
on my back so you can lick it off.
Donnell.
Do you see that Cameron is here?
I see Cameron stinking ass sitting right there.
Cameron, what do you want?
I was simply explaining to Mrs. Tina
that the family is willing to settle and move forward.
Yeah, but you're not smiling.
The family is seeking $5 million in restitution.
$5 million?
Cameron.
I'm not trying to buy a damn football team.
Baby, look, look, I don't give a damn what you say
or what they say.
I'm not putting up $5 million, especially when I'm innocent.
I agree, Donnell.
I agree.
The number is absurd.
But we need to get on the other side of this once and for all.
So write the check and we'll cut back.
That's how you got to have it.
You're really enjoying this, aren't you?
Yeah.
What is this?
It's dinner.
Eat it.
I'm going to have Frank put a steak on the grill.
Dad told Frank to go home.
Why?
They should have
asked me about these burgers.
Bun B killin' this.
Let me get them fries.
I don't understand.
All right, kids, listen up.
I understand things are a little different because we spoiled
y'all asses.
But from now on, I'm going to need three things.
One, when you leave any room in my house,
I need you to cut the lights off.
Two, I don't want to see nobody staring in my damn refrigerator
longer than five seconds like it's a damn mirror.
Blare.
And three, if I catch anybody touching my thermostat,
I'm going to break your thumbs.
Well, here's a great idea.
Why don't your mom and I come visit you guys at your house.
No.
OK, what your dad is trying to say--
No, what I'm saying--
With the case and with the wedding happening next week,
we should kind of lay off.
Kelsey, my baby, question for you.
You were the top selling female artist last year, right?
Mm-hmm.
Sure was.
Why is it that your dad got to still buy your bilingwa shoes?
Like, you got your own money.
It's Balenciaga, Daddy.
[laughs]
We're just trying not to be overstretched with finances.
Do we have to have a plus one because money is a little eh.
Well, Blare doesn't have a plus one.
So that helps.
Are you kidding me?
Blare, what's up with that little thang thang thing I
seen you with?
Oh, that little thang thang thing.
You know what I'm saying?
Thang thang.
Yeah.
I mean, everything with her--
me and Jai, it's really going good.
Going amazing.
What's wrong?
Are you having a stroke or something?
Yeah.
Are you OK?
I'm concerned.
I'm fine, Mom.
Yeah, y'all are crazy.
Tina.
Yes.
Everyone, I have an announcement to make
about our son, your brother, Blare.
Bah, bah, bah, bah.
That boy's whipped.
[laughter]
He is whipped.
He's whipped.
I'm actually happy for you, Blare.
Yeah, love is a beautiful thing.
It's a blessing.
And besides, Jayson and I would love to have someone
to double date vacation with.
So I'm happy.
Never, and I mean never have big booty chicks
bring bottles of BSB to your lunch with your boss.
Who are you trying to impress?
I mean, that's a rookie move.
[laughs]
[doorbell]
Oh, my God.
Who is that at my door now?
I hope it another mouth to feed.
Lord.
I'll get it.
You want them fries?
Oh, that's probably Jayson.
[music playing]
Derek?
Yo, what up, Blare.
Sorry to stop by like this.
Is Jess here?
No.
Actually, she's not.
Good seeing you.
Hey, Blare, who is it?
Derek?
What are you doing here?
And what's all this?
My apologies, Mr. Nixon.
I was just coming by to have a word with Jess.
I was trying to call her and get her text, no return.
So I figured I'd stop by and try my luck.
I was in the neighborhood.
Derek, my daughter hasn't responded
to any of your calls and texts because Jessica
is getting married.
There's another fish in the sea.
And we don't do the love entanglement thing here.
All right, well, maybe no more.
But I think it's best that you go.
Derek.
Why are you here?
You sent the necklace back.
Did I do something wrong?
What necklace?
Yeah, what necklace?
Oh.
The hell is he doing here?
Look, I didn't come here to start no drama.
I was actually just leaving.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Post up.
I mean, ballsy as it is for you to even
be here in the first place, it must be important, right?
Derek bought me a Bavari necklace for--
it was a wedding gift.
You sent my lady necklace.
Yo, what type of [MUTED is you on dude?
Hey, Jayson.
Jayson.
OK.
Why am I just now hearing about this?
No more secrets.
You remember saying that?
Yes.
I wasn't trying to keep a secret, Jayson.
The last thing I want to do is upset or disrespect you.
Look, once again, I did not come here to start problems.
Just wanted to give Jess something nice for her big day.
Don't sweat it.
I can see how gift of that magnitude can be intimidating.
Oh, God.
Derek.
Sorry.
That's good.
What is going on?
You know what?
You came here last year with the disrespect.
Ooh, they about to fight.
Jayson.
I let that [muted] slide.
Baby, say something.
This year, I want all the smoke.
Hey.
Gentlemen.
You know I don't play that in my house.
Now Jayson, don't let a [muted] necklace come between you
on my daughter love.
You about to marry my baby.
She loves you a lot.
Derek, I think it's really distasteful
that you come here to my house and bring this young man's
future wife some jewelry knowing that they
love each other a lot.
And I'm very disappointed in you and I think you should leave.
You right.
I'm wrong about that one.
And my apologies to everyone.
Have a great night.
The both of you got some crazy ass ex's.
I felt like I was on an episode of Love and Flip-Flops.
Dad, It's Love a Hip Hop.
Hip hop.
I honestly thought I was doing the right thing by not telling
you and just handling it.
I'm sorry.
No more secrets.
I promise.
[music playing]
I'm sorry.
Well, it happens.
Look at you.
Oh, babe, stop.
It's that lemon lime.
Like a lime margarita.
Oh, my.
[laughter]
Babe, I finna go over here and start the car up.
OK, yeah.
We'll just talk for a second.
OK.
Hey, Blare, breakups happen, baby, to everybody.
Don't trip.
Well, technically it's not a breakup.
Blare, thanks for tonight, bro.
What's a family dinner without family drama, right?
You can say that again.
Speaking of saying things.
Sis, you haven't said much tonight.
Vince is a great guy, but I just don't
feel like he's the guy for me.
And another one bites the dust.
Oh, would you shut up already?
I'm being serious.
Hey, Blare.
Kelsey, it's completely fine to want to just focus on yourself
right now.
You're dope AF.
Did I say that right?
Yes.
Sometimes you just got to love yourself,
until you find the right one.
What are you looking at?
Give me my phone back.
Is this her?
She is gorgeous.
Wow.
She's gorgeous.
She's not just gorgeous.
She's smart and funny, and really dope.
And she's at Steak 48 right now.
She says Steak 48.
You should just go and meet her.
I should just go?
Yeah, you have to go.
But you can't go wearing that.
This is a $1,000 tracksuit.
I mean, it's a nice tracksuit for a gym coach.
Blare, you never do a suit, which is exactly why.
The stakes are high.
It's calling for a suit right now.
Come on.
Right.
I'm not wearing a suit.
That sounds crazy.
OK, fine.
Anyway, you take care of it.
I've got to go take care of Jayson.
But Blare, hey, be the Blare we all know and love, OK?
Not the other one you give the world.
Love you, sis.
Bye.
This game time.
I'm a stylist here.
OK.
I need you to wear a suit.
All right, I'm going to wear a [muted] suit.
Are you going to wear a suit?
A suit.
I don't feel like you're ready.
I don't feel like--
are you ready for this or not?
OK, I'm ready.
Let's go.
[music playing]
I just wanted to apologize.
What happened at the club was way out of line.
And I want you to know that I respect you,
I respect your position, and I respect your decision.
So my bad.
I think being in the game so long,
it's turned me into an egotistical jerk.
Oh, you think so?
I do.
I like what I'm hearing.
Continue.
Go.
I read up on you, for real this time.
Thank you.
But I don't believe that you read up on me at all.
I did.
I actually did.
No, you didn't.
You're an incredible person.
And I think I can learn a lot from you.
Thank you.
Blare, I really do want to help you in your company.
I really do believe in you.
I want you to win.
I want you to have artists that are just thriving.
And I want you to out of debt.
Well, so you know, I'll have a fresh budget
on your desk tomorrow morning.
I cut my spending down.
OK.
Two chains instead of three.
Ha.
OK.
[doorbell]
(SINGING) I want to freak you.
[knocking]
What is it now?
Oh, my God.
Oh.
No.
No, no.
Donnell, go.
Go.
Go get the door.
Just go see who it is.
I can't believe you.
[music playing]
Tina.
Yes, Nancy.
This is disgustingly romantic.
Anyway.
I have been trying to get a hold of Jayson and Jessica
to finish some last minute details.
But they're not answering my calls.
Last I knew, that they were here for your drive-thru dinner.
They left hours ago, Nancy.
Really?
Oh, God.
What's this?
That malt liquor, hood juice.
Brown Sugar Bourbon.
That's for big dogs, OK?
That's not-- oh, what?
What is you-- what?
Whoa.
She taking my BSB to the head, baby.
Nancy, are you OK?
We don't really know where your lips been.
Ah.
Oh.
It's just that this wedding has me in a tizzy.
And maybe having it at my house was a bad idea.
I done did my part, all right?
I done the paid the total cost of what you're supposed
to do to figure it out.
Now what you want us to do?
Why do you hate me so?
[sobs] Oh, God.
This is good liquor.
Oh, no.
That's BSB.
Ooh, I like BSB.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Yee-haw.
[music playing]
To Jai Turner.
Because she made it out the mud.
I got us out the mud, baby.
Made it out the mud, baby.
Woo.
Merry Christmas.
Woo.
All right, no more for me.
You ever a visit the foster homes?
Just one.
Pamela, she is so dope.
One Halloween, I wanted to be Left Eye,
so she put my hair in colorful braids
and then she put an eyepatch on me.
I was just like a rainbow pirate.
It was not Left Eye at all.
I would pay to see that photo.
No.
Because you will blackmail me, and I'm not doing that.
That is true.
That is very true.
I really wish this was the Blare that I first met.
So do I.
Want to go somewhere?
What'd you have in mind?
Come on.
I'm down.
OK, follow me.
OK.
We need to call an Uber, because I am feeling great.
This is the first place that I stumbled
upon when I moved here.
I normally go to bars and venues so I can hear what's hot, but--
thank you.
This is a vibe.
Oh, this place is definitely a vibe.
And this ain't even the best part.
[music playing]
So this is where the real party is?
Every Wednesday, I come here to blow off some steam.
And you're going up?
You're going up.
No.
There's no way in hell I'm going up there.
Celebrate the holidays.
I forgot the words.
I haven't done the words in years.
I don't know the words.
I mean, it's like a song we know.
We'll figure it out.
Come on.
Alright, okay.
OK, ready?
OK.
Yeah.
(SINGING) It was December 24 on Hollis Ave in the dark.
When I see a man chilling with his dog in the park.
I approach very slowly with a heart
full of fear, looked at his dog, oh my God, an ill reindeer.
It's Christmas time in Hollis, Queens.
Mom's cooking chicken and collard greens.
Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese.
And Santa puts gifts on the Christmas trees.
Decorate the house with the lights at night.
Snow's on the snow white so bright.
In the fireplace is the yule log.
Beneath the mistletoe as we drink eggnog.
[music playing]
Oh, my goodness.
Is this kopi luwak?
I didn't poison it or anything.
Not today.
[laughs]
Are you OK?
Oh, of course.
I just have been having trouble sleeping,
and your couch is very comfortable.
That's all.
OK.
I just don't have a lot of friends that I trust.
Well, we're not friends.
But if you need to talk, I'm here.
And, Tina.
Yes.
If you breathe a word of this to anyone, I'll deny it all.
I wouldn't expect anything less.
(SINGING) Ring, ring, ring, ring.
Ring, ring, ring, ring.
Oh.
ring the bells for Christmas.
Ring, ring, ring, ring.
Oh.
Ring, ring, ring, ring.
Oh.
Ring the bell for Christmas.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh.
Over the place we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtails ring, making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh, what fun is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Ring, ring, ring, ring.
[music playing]
I just don't understand why they have to come here to my home
before they go to the church.
Because we're caravanning.
That's what Black folks do.
We meet and we go over to the--
I know what Black folks do.
We don't have to caravan.
Do you really?
And why are you carrying that liquor?
Where are you taking that liquor?
That's Donnell's cousin.
Leave him alone.
I just don't understand why this is happening right now.
This is not what I planned.
You know what?
Oh, wow.
Sometimes plans don't matter.
Wow.
Did you see that?
Nancy, we talked about you relaxing.
Well, I'm trying-- I can't relax when--
oh, wow.
I don't even know what to say.
Sweet lady, where's the facilities?
Well, my stomach is bubbling.
That Holy water got my stomach bubbling.
I had to have a conversation with God.
I said, God, we've got to get alkaline.
He said, what does that mean?
I said, we're switching to Fiji.
We're going to Fiji.
Pastor, the bathroom is right down the hallway to the left.
Sharing is caring.
You know what I mean?
If you refresh what Pastor Williams, you're refreshed.
I think that's what?
11:29 Proverbs?
Sure.
Amen.
He's a pimp.
You have a pimp marrying our children.
A pimp.
A stone cold-blooded pimp.
I want to actually thank all y'all for being here.
I mean, why wouldn't you be here?
It's your sister, your daughter.
That's right.
You paying for it.
That's right.
All of it.
That's right.
It's really expensive.
Hey, after everything we've been through together,
we couldn't do nothing but be here, man.
We here with you forever, bro.
I don't look nervous, do I?
Nervous as hell.
You look nervous, man.
Yes.
Congratulations, Jayson.
I'm proud of you.
Very proud of you.
And Blare, here's a thought.
Here's a thought.
Just a thought, all right?
Since Jessica and Jayson is walking down the aisle,
why don't you and Jai exchange vows too?
I mean-- I mean--
No.
May as well.
Hey, Relax.
Two weddings for the price of one.
We here.
You already dressed.
Come on now.
Come on.
I'm taking it slow, like you said.
For the first time.
I understand.
I understand, but just think about it, son.
Hey, listen, real talk.
We love seeing you in love, B. It's a good look, man.
Don't try to fight it, bro.
Is it this the best man?
Are you auditioning right now, man?
Come on, man.
I'm keeping it light guys.
Keeping it light-- taking it slow.
Lex, I'm so glad you made it.
Barely.
[laughter]
But I could not imagine this entire experience without you
by my side.
Oh, now you know I was not about to miss my sis getting married.
Oh, but girl, getting here was not a joke.
A helicopter, two planes and a camel.
I'm exhausted.
(SINGING) Big love to the bride to be.
I've been down and you were always down for me.
The me just became a we.
And tomorrow, it'll be a whole family.
So big love to the bride to be.
[music playing]
Don, you are right back there?
Man, do not eat spam casserole.
Spam casserole?
Donnell.
Donnell, get over here.
Now before we begin, there is a collection plate going round.
Now most of you young folk call it the bag.
I'm getting the bag.
But in the Bible, it says to honor your wealth
with the fruits and all the crops.
I think is 3:9 Proverbs.
Amen.
Just because of the wedding, don't
mean you don't have to pay your dues to the pastor.
OK?
I love Louis Vuitton watches and chains.
And my CashApp is all money is good money Pastor Williams.
My, God.
He's despicable.
I am so calling the FBI on this heathen.
We're gathered here to celebrate a union between PYT.
PYT, pretty young thing.
Pretty young thing, Jessica.
And the boy.
OK, now I'm going to get to it now, all right?
Love is kind.
Love is precious.
Amen.
When you are invested in the scholarship
fund of Pastor Williams, everything will be just fine.
There ain't no mountain you can't climb.
Ain't no valley too low.
Be strong in your journey, and I promise you this.
Your tenure will last longer than Jon Gruden
for the Raiders.
And I love that silver and gray.
Amen.
Now getting back to this hair.
If you got something to say about my hair
or if I'm still pimping, or you got something
against these people over here getting married,
you better forever hold your peace
or you got to throw these hand.
I put that Bible down.
We throw these hands in the name of Jesus.
Well, what you looking at me for?
Pastor, just move it along.
Move it along.
Now getting back to the word.
A wedding vow is a sacred promise
between two people that's in love with commitment
for the rest of their lives.
And don't chicken out now, son.
And stop snitching.
Amen.
And now the vows.
(SINGING) Can I do forever with you, babe?
Ever and ever.
You are my forever queen, baby.
Ever and ever.
Ever and ever and ever.
Ah.
Damn, I said vows, son, not Brian McKnight.
That was so beautiful.
I've always strived for perfection.
I thought that if I lived life the proper way that I'd
achieve true happiness.
But when you walked into my world,
I learned that life is so much more than perfection.
Jayson, you taught me how to face my fears.
You've allowed me to be myself.
Jayson, I have never known love like I do now.
There's no one anywhere that I'd rather
spend the rest of my life with.
The rings, please.
PYT, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
Always and forever ever.
Young Brian McKnight, do you take
PYT, the pretty young thing, to be your lawfully wedded wife?
I kind of like the PYT thing.
I kind of dig it.
All day, every day.
I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Shannon Nixon.
[applause]
[cheering]
[music playing]
(SINGING) Have yourself a merry little Christmas.
Let your heart be light.
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight.
Yes.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas.
Make the yuletide gay.
So while we raise our glasses one more time to Jessica
and Jayson, whose mother is a Republican still
to this day, who voted for Bush, who still wears
the great makeup-- all right.
All right.
Warm round of applause for Jessica and Jayson, ladies
and gentlemen.
That's my baby.
I'm sorry.
I'm a little bit tipsy.
God knew what was going to happen.
Baby, I'm coming home.
We love you, Ms. Nancy.
Take a hike.
All right.
I got him.
Take a hike.
All right now.
It's all right.
All right.
Oh.
All you can do is laugh.
Dang, but you do though, just a little bit.
I am definitely the coach.
Oh, OK.
Well, you can be daddy's coach.
Vick, I really respect what you're doing in the NFL.
Thank you.
You're a good player.
But my daughter only has one daddy.
And that daddy is me.
Yes.
Oh, no disrespect, legend.
Thank you, Vick.
Come on, baby.
Cut a rug with your old man right quick.
I said cut a rug, right?
Old school.
Vick, I'm watching you.
Ready to meet the family?
Yep.
Let's do it.
Jayson, Jessica.
Yeah.
This is Jai.
Oh, wow.
The infamous Jai.
The infamous.
So nice to meet you.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Beautiful couple.
Beautiful, Blare.
Thank you very much.
Now this is the good part of the family.
Uh, guys.
Kels, fam, I would like you all to meet Jai.
Hello.
