“Really? You just said f*** you.” – Kristinia

“She’s not real Hip Hop. Mary J. Blige is not her f*cking mom. She’s her stepmom and she’s not even her stepmom anymore. They’re divorced.” – Kristinia

Tee Tee comes out to check on Kristinia and Kristinia tells her she’s done with Briana.

  1. Briana really has issues. She flips over the smallest sh-t and I can’t believe she’s in her 30s acting the way she does.

  2. Kristinia surprised the f-ck out of me and I’m glad she showed Briana she ain’t no got damn punk. That’s Briana’s thing though. She really believes everyone is scared of her but she’s going to f-ck around and her a-s whooped when she steps to the wrong woman.

  3. Right kristinia said the same thing she didnt grow up hip hop her a-s grew up doing dope and poor. Let her tell it. And she surely wasnt by Mary J side during her success in the 90s. Neither was her husband I believe.
