‘Black Ink Crew’ Recap: Nikki Clashes with Richard’s Baby Mama Kathie + Walt Bares All

The gang discusses how Walt acted at the party the other night.

Teddy urges Cease to contact Walt to find out the root of his emotional and drunken outburst.

Sky walks in the shop and tells the gang that she wants to have another baby. She feels like the best way to move on from her Genesis drama is to get pregnant.

In a green screen interview, Sky says she doesn’t know who she will get knocked up by but she’s convinced this is what she needs to do.

Donna gives an update to the girls.

Later on, Bae, Kitty and Sky stop by Donna and Jadah’s place to check on Donna after her medical scare.

“How you feeling?” – Sky

“I’m doing alright.” – Donna

She says she had to have a fallopian tube and a piece of her uterus removed. She says she was eight weeks pregnant.

After the intense situation, Donna says her boyfriend Moe asked her to move in with him. She’s thinking about doing it.

Walt explains his situation.

Teddy and Cease decide to check up on Walt. He gives them the address to the projects nearby.

They are surprised by this because they thought he still lived in the suburbs.

When they get there, he tells them he’s renting a room.

Walt says that he’s been going through a lot financially and he had to leave his place in Jersey because of money problems. So he’s back in the projects.

He had to send his kids away to live with their mother in Illinois.

“Yo, this is some heavy sh**.” – Ceaser

“Sending my kids away…the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.” – Walt

Cease says Walt should have told him what he was gong through so he could have helped him out. But Walt snaps and says he doesn’t want to be anybody’s burden.

The conversation gets even more raw as Cease points out that Walt isn’t in the position to turn away help.

“Look at you.” – Cease

“That’s why you’ve been drinking a lot more lately?” – Teddy

Cease says Walt needs to cut down on drinking because it’s not helping him with his stress.

So Cease says he will get Walt some help for his drinking and find him a better place to stay.

Walt apologizes for lashing out at everyone. Cease says he loves him and he will have his back through this.

Sky meets with a fertility doctor.

She tells the doctor about all the plastic surgery she’s gotten over the years.

They discuss all the methods Sky can use to get pregnant. She decides she’s not interested in IVF right away.

Richard returns to the shop.

He assures everyone that he’s still with Nikki. Cease is disappointed.

Interestingly enough, Richard says he wants to make peace with his other three baby mamas. Cease doesn’t think this is a good idea.

But Richard wants to get on better terms with Kathie and Anya. He wants all of his kids to have a relationship with one another.

Jadah takes news of Donna moving out horribly.

Donna has decided to move out of Jadah’s apartment and move in with Moe. She breaks the news to Jadah who is not happy about the decision.

Even after Donna says that she will find Jadah another roommate before she leaves, Jadah is not hearing it.

She storms out angrily.

Richard and Nikki meet with Richard’s baby mama Coley and his daughter. Nikki gets along with Coley.

He asks for some advice on how to reconnect with his other baby mamas.

Coley says that Richard needs to handle his business and just make the phone calls. He’s nervous but leaves a pleasant voicemail for Kathie.

Anya is harder to get in touch with because he doesn’t have her number and she blocked him on social media.

So Coley offers to get in touch with Anya for him.

Sky starts her hunt.

Sky takes Ceaser to a gay bar so she can meet a potential gay man to aid her in getting pregnant via the “turkey baster” method.

She says that a gay man won’t be so paranoid like she believes a straight man will be. Although Ceaser doesn’t understand Sky’s plans, he decides to support so she can move on from the Genesis drama.

Not too long after, Sky meets a man from Atlanta with nice teeth. She thinks this could work out.

Donna returns to the shop, Walt goes to a recovery meeting.

They greet Donna with ice cream and Hennessy she can’t technically drink for the time being.

One of her clients shows up for an appointment.

Later on that day, Teddy takes Walt to a recovery meeting.

Both sit in and listen to others speak on their experiences with alcoholism.

Walt then speaks and says that he’s dealing with a lot of financial problems, including losing his house.

He doesn’t like that he now drinks for breakfast.

Ted says he says he’s noticed a change in Walt and he wants to help him.

The meeting instructor says sometimes a passion or hobby can help someone learn how to cope without alcohol. Walt realizes he’s lost focus on photography.

One of the other attendees says that finding a passion has helped them give up alcohol.

Walt feels confident that he can get his life back on track.

Richard’s meeting with the rest of his baby mamas goes left.

Anya doesn’t show up and tells Coley she doesn’t want Richard around their child. Richard isn’t surprised by this news.

Kathie arrives and it immediately gets tense.

He tells her he just wants all the kids to spend time together.

“What does this have to do with me?” – Kathie

Kathie says that the door is always open and Richard has half custody of their son. But Richard insists that Kathie has made it hard for him to see the child.

“You haven’t let me see my son for eleven months.” – Richard

She disagrees and says she’s been contacting Richard and told him their son wanted to see him. Richard says she’s only been calling him for money.

“I feel like if I don’t give you money, you won’t let me see my son.” – Richard

Nikki gets annoyed and says that Kathie has been keeping Richard away from their son because she wanted full custody.

At this point, Kathie gets angry and storms out.

Coley follows behind her and tries to calm Kathie down. She starts crying and says that Richard hasn’t been trying to see their son.

“I have never stopped the kids from seeing each other!” – Kathie

Meanwhile, Nikki urges Richard to go outside and talk things out with Kathie.

He does and they sit in the car to hash things out.

“I miss Achilles, I really do. And I made the wrong choice for stepping away. It is my fault. It is.” – Richard

Richard apologizes and says he wants them to get in a better place.

“I’m sorry for letting my emotions get the best of me.” – Richard

He also asks if they can start fresh.

She says that Richard can see their son whenever he wants to. She’s fully aware that their son misses Richard.

Kathie says that Richard can have a relationship with their son without her involvement.

Richard is thankful and decides to make that a reality.

  1. I understand Nikki is Ohs*t’s wife but she really didn’t need to say anything to Kathie. Her man has been a deadbeat dad way before she was in the picture. She redeemed herself by making him apologize to Kathie though.

  2. Sky’s baby storyline has to be fake. She didn’t do such a good job with the first two she had so why have more?

    1. That’s not fair. She gave her kids up for adoption so they could have a better life. She’s not some deadbeat mother. Y’all are too harsh on Sky.

  3. How are all these people broke when they are supposed to get a check for doing this show? First Donna was out here renting a room in NY in real life. Now Walt. Something is not adding up.

  4. Nikki needs to hope she doesn’t end up like Richard’s other baby mamas. He does not have the best track record as a father.

  5. I guess Sky is running out of storylines since the Genesis one ended. So she will have to go at Donna and Jadah again to be interesting. But most people aren’t buying this “I want a baby” storyline.

  6. That whole conversation would have went a lot better if Nikki would have allowed Richard to speak for himself. She needs to understand that his baby mamas resent him for a reason. He may be in a better place now but he used to be a hot mess.

  7. I really think Sky gets a kick out of trolling Genesis. She knows how hurt he is and pretending she wants another baby to move on from that situation is a sick way to get even with him.

  8. How is it not a red flag to a woman for a man to have multiple kids with multiple women and not really take care of any of them?

  9. So Sky is going to lie and say she’s 29 years old when her oldest son is 19 and she already lied about having him at 14? That woman stay lying.

  10. I thought it was illegal to rent out rooms in the projects in NY? Walt’s storyline seems fake.

  11. You know Nikki has some nerve defending a man with all these baby mommas. She ain’t been in his life long enough to see how much he messed up as a father.
