Misster Ray reveals he’s not really a fan of Zell.
“I don’t know him personally. I met him one time in Atlanta. His energy was a whole lot. He was sweaty, he had a Hennessy bottle, he had gold teeth. He looked like the current day version of Coolio. Like I just wasn’t here for it. And I also heard that he doesn’t like me and I don’t even know her like that.” – Ray
Ray tells Masika to invite Zell because he plans on handling him.

“Oh, Little Boo Boo. Yeah, I’ve heard of that guy. You know, he’s Brooke’s childhood friend from back at home in Houston. Blah, blah, blah. So you going to the studio with no panties on to try to help him with his nonexistent career? Man, I’m not f*cking with this.” – Marcus

Masika’s launch is a disaster thanks to Zell and Misster Ray.
Zell and Moniece show up to Masika’s event together. Maska greets them and tells Zell that Moniece is her real friend and he’s not. He gets shady and calls her a “part time” cast member.
In his green screen interview, Zell says he doesn’t understand why Masika invited him if she’s not ready to make peace.

After throwing shade back and forth, Ray and Zell start arguing in front of everybody.
“You’re laying on the display table.” – Ray
“Because you’re sleepy and I’m tired.” – Zell
After Masika has a speech and thanks Ray for putting together the event and tells him she knows she gave him a big plate, Zell interrupts and says, “And he ate it. I know he ate it.”
“I don’t know where the playground is, because the children are here.” – Ray
“Listen, you need to go to the zoo.” – Zell
“You’re a fraud. You’re a fraud. You borrow clothes in your boss’ name and you don’t return them.” – Ray
“I do!” – Zell
After Zell tells Ray he looks like he’s had five strokes, Masika gets fed up and yells for both of them to chill out. Zell throws a drink at Ray and Ray throws one back. Security intervenes and Masika’s makeup samples fall on the floor. Zell is thrown out by security.
Masika says in a green screen interview that she thought Ray was going to handle Zell but Ray is the one who was handled.
Although Ray planned the event, she feels he was very unprofessional and she has security escort him out the event too.
What are your thoughts on the episode?
Zell is hilarious.
Very.
Zell is really making the season for me. Best scene of the night was easily him and Ray.
Alexis is too dumb to see the irony in her situation with Lucci.
It’s too funny, what she did to Masika (coming on the show, confronting her etc..) is being done to her, hiliarious.
I really did have to laugh when I saw the picture UB used.
