[bunniefuu]

[suspenseful music playing]

-I just saw the groom.
-What is your f*ck' problem?

Who the f*ck are you?

-You want to come for my family?
-Girl, shut up!

You have nothing to say, my n*gga!

-f*ck you!
-f*ck you too!

f*ck, stop!

Stop!

We're back.

You know what that means, right?

[racy hip-hop song playing]

[Nadia] Yeah, look at this!

[Swanky] Let's move this continent, baby.

-[all shouting]
-We're famous. We're young. African.

[laughing]

-[Swanky] Let's eat, drink.
-It's possible, guys!

To success, long life… babies.

-Babies?
-Wait, what? Are you pregnant?

[slurping]

["Superstar" by Lalinea & BAER playing]

Who is this? Oh, my gosh!

I'm black and white. I can't pretend.

[sighs]

-She's a ten.
-I don't do young boys.

[Zari] There is my guy.

Match made in heaven.

But that's a child.

Like, what the hell?

Actually, it makes me feel disrespected.

[song continues playing]

-The brown sugar queen is live in Joburg!
-[Swanky] Welcome to South Africa!

We all know who Ini Edo is.

I like to think of myself as go-getter.

She's literally an icon.

But then I have zero tolerance
for bullshit.

Drama is going to unfold.

Don't know where the f*ck you're from,
but you can't speak to me like that.

[Shakib] You don't know how many times
I've looked stupid

because of you and Diamond.

She still wants me.
She still wants to be with Platnumz.

Don't start with me. Do you want a fight?

[in Sotho] Zari provokes me.

-[in English] Are you fighting with me?
-[Fantana] No, Kefi!

Buckle up. We're going back
on that rollercoaster.

[Nadia] Opa!

Guess who gave me
an invitation to her wedding?

Zari sent me an invitation
for her wedding.

Regardless of all the back and forth
that I've had with Zari,

[in Pidgin] I love love, I always say,
so yes, I will go to this wedding.

[in English] I quickly have to get ready
for this wedding.

But I realize that I have
probably more enemies than friends.

[ominous music plays]

There are people in this group
that I-- I just feel like they're snakes.

Like, I never knew.

Even the Zari that invited me…

I don't trust her. I don't know
if she's trying to pull something.

So, uh-uh, I don't trust anybody.

[music ends]

[adventurous music playing]

Wait, wait, wait.
So I'm invited to Zari's wedding?

Very surprising
when the invitation came in the mail.

The most shocking thing is
City Girl's invited.

-Hi!
-[Nadia] Hi! [laughs]

-It's me. [chuckles]
-How are you?

-Barbie!
-Yay!

-So happy to see you.
-Missed you.

-I missed you too. Welcome back.
-Thanks!

I was kind of surprised when I received
an invite from Zari to her wedding

because we are not in a good space
right now, at all.

I don't know. I think it's a prank.
I thought it was a prank, so--

I mean, I'm not gonna-- I just want to see
the circus show. [laughs]

[Nadia] Have you spoken to Zari

since the social media stuff
that happened with you guys?

Uh, no. She did a lot.

You did a lot too!

You swore at the husband she's marrying.

That's why I'm confused why I'm here,
but I-- I'm here for a free laugh, okay?

Uh, me and Zari had Instagram…

[laughs] …upside down

because we were going back and forth
about a lot of stuff that came out,

and she wasn't really happy knowing that I
told her the truth about the things

that Diamond said about her
behind her back.

I'm actually happy, like,
she's getting married.

She found love.

-You happy?
-Yeah, I am.

Now she can get off my nuts
and leave me alone.

I want-- Talking about nuts,
what's happening with you and Diamond?

Diamond, girl, you know,
I have to stand up, okay?

Like, I fell for Diamond's little antics.
He does have a girl.

He does!

-She--
-So, Zari was right.

We all know that Diamond had a girlfriend
and he was busy messing with Fantana.

Apparently, his girlfriend was busy
throwing plates in Zambia.

Where is he from? Tanzania. [chuckles]

Apparently, she was breaking plates.
It was "Opa," the whole time.

There's a girl in Tanzania he was dating.
I don't know her name or whatever.

She's a musician as well.
I don't really know.

People were just putting it, like,
"Oh, that's Diamond's girlfriend."

But anytime I ask Diamond, he denies it.

As far as Diamond and I are concerned,

we promised to always be honest
with each other.

So even if I was doing whatever I want
and he was doing whatever he wanted.

The relationship we had,
he could have been honest

and just told me, like,
"This is my situation."

And I could have been like,
either I'll deal with it or I won't.

But he kind of just like…

And I feel like, I did my side of that,

but Diamond left a lot of stuff out that…

[chuckles] …really, like, pissed me off.

[racy music playing]

Today's a special day
because it's a union of Zari and Shakib.

I'm expecting a lot of glam.
I'm expecting a lot of fashions.

I'm expecting a lot of food and drinks
and happiness, and just good vibes.

[Naked] In the last couple of months,
Kayleigh has moved in.

I'm happy. What more could I ask for?

I think this is what she also wanted too.

[Kayleigh] Yes, I'm happy.
Of course I'm happy.

But being happy doesn't mean
I don't want more.

[Naked] So we're at the wedding,

but I haven't seen my friends
in a long time.

So I don't know
where we all are emotionally.

[music continues playing]

[Luis] The last time I was here,
I was greatly misunderstood.

But today, my mind is all over the place.

Um, I have two thoughts.
I'm happy for Zari. That's number one.

And number two, I'm very wary
of this group. I don't trust these people.

[Nadia] We're not all getting along
the way we'd like to.

And this is the first time
we're coming together in a long time.

So I'm really worried to see
what the dynamic is going to be.

[pleasant music playing]

We just got here and now, I mean…

[chuckles] …it looks decent.

It looks cool. It looks like a barbecue.

[jazz music playing]

-Hi! How are you?
-What's up?

-I'm good, and you?
-You look so good.

-Wow, you guys are so gorgeous.
-Mwah. Thank you.

How's Kayleigh? Where is she?

No, she's going to be here shortly.
She's still helping Zari out, get ready.

Okay.

So Tweedledee and Tweedledum,

that's, uh, Nadia and Fantana,
they're in white looking all innocent.

[in English and Zulu]
But no, we know the truth.

-[in English] Hello, hello. Hi.
-[Naked laughing]

[Swanky] I think everyone by now should be
better than the last time we hung out.

I'm definitely working on myself.

In the past year, I've been in therapy.

I'm actually healing
from a narcissistic friendship.

I'm really praying and hoping
that I get no triggers.

-[Naked] Swanky's here on time!
-Yo, what's up, guys?

-[Naked] Hey, what's good?
-All good. You?

-[Naked] Mister Namibia 2024.
-[chuckles]

-Hi, Fanta.
-[Fantana] Hey!

Luis is still pursuing me, of course.
I mean… [gasps] …who wouldn't?

But I don't know
where I stand with Luis right now.

I'm kind of upset with him.

-Can I sit next to you?
-[chuckles] Sure.

Consent, guys. Very important.

I feel like the way he acted,
knowing that I was seeing Diamond,

I feel like he shouldn't have
done things that way.

-[Naked] Are you guys going to sit on--
-Let me do this.

How am I sitting on--

-He knew he'd be back here.
-Let me do this.

I genuinely had a crush on Fantana.

I put my foot in and said,
"Listen, I'm interested."

And she's like,
"Nah, you're too soft for me."

So I like bad boys. I like the Diamond.
I'm like, "Okay, cool."

Take me away from Diamond. Do something.

Like, you're doing nothing,
just crying all the time.

How am I supposed to know
you like me like that?

-[Nadia] You think Diamond'll come today?
-I hope he does come, though.

-Yeah, I feel like he won't come.
-Yeah, he won't come.

-Why not?
-Because for what?

I personally don't think
Diamond is coming.

Fantana doesn't think Diamond is coming.

And I think it would be weird
if he is at Zari's wedding.

If I'm Diamond, I'll be here,
perform three songs.

-Yeah. [laughs]
-And I'll f*ck this sh*t up so bad.

Have any of you guys seen Annie?

[tense music sting]

Okay, so I'm not the only one.
She hasn't been talking to me at all.

-She's fine.
-[Nadia] She's fine?

[Swanky] Yeah. She should be--

-Zari invited everyone, so I'm sure.
-Oh, she's coming today?

[Swanky] Nadia, please don't stress me.

I'm wearing white also.
I don't need any stress.

Zari invited Annie? That's nice.
'Cause Annie didn't invite her

to Annie's wedding, right?

Um, n-- no.

-[metal slicing]
-Okay.

[mellow song playing]

[Annie] It's almost unbelievable

that I am actually just walking
into this wedding,

and it's Zari's wedding.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone.

My G's!

-Annie!
-You made it!

Hey, look at my G's.

-Madame Idibia.
-Hi, how are you?

-Nadia. It's so good. How you?
-Hi.

Good and you? It's good to see you.

-Good to see you. I'm back in your city.
-You look gorgeous. Welcome.

The truth right now is
that I'm not very happy with Nadia.

I have a bone to pick with her,

but I'm going to wait
for the right time to talk to her.

[Swanky] Hi, baby!

[all laughing]

You look nice!

I obviously haven't seen Annie
in a minute.

I've been traveling the world.
I've been super, super busy.

It means vibes
and, inshallah, like, I hold nothing.

-Sit.
-[Swanky] Sit. How are you?

Or you want to sit with Fantana?

-Sit on the couch. [chuckles]
-I like to be around men.

[Nadia] You like to be around men?

[all laughing]

-Don't k*ll me!
-[Annie] Oh my God.

[Swanky] Oh my God.

We were just talking about you.
I was like, "Is Annie going to show up?"

-"Is she not going to show up?"
-[Annie] I know, right?

I'm glad you came.

[Annie] Swanky,
I can see all that fakeness.

Last year, he walked in and passed me.

So, now you have the audacity
with everything that's happened

to stand up and come greet me.

I would have done that,
he would have been totally embarrassed.

But that's the difference
between Swanky and I.

It's called maturity,
it's experience, it's life.

I know they don't get along.
They didn't really fix their issues.

Even when they went back to Nigeria,

it's not like it was
back-to-normal programming.

So… what is this fakeness
I'm seeing right now?

When the invitation came through,
I was like, "Okay."

-Were you shocked?
-[Annie] I was like… [groans]

-[all laughing]
-I kind of feel bad, like, I was…

-But I'm glad you came.
-[Fantana] Yeah.

[Annie] Honestly,
I was surprised Zari invited me.

Because I didn't want her
at my own wedding.

You know, my vow renewals.

-But I thought you guys were cool, though.
-No, we are cool, though. But, like…

-It was awkward.
-You know, not very cool. Yeah.

[in Pidgin] But God knows
I'm very happy for Zari.

[in English] Father Lord, make a way.

Please, Lord, no drama.

-Have you guys seen the groom?
-Yeah, we know the groom.

You've seen them today?

Oh, you haven't.

No, he's a really cool dude.

-He's fun. He's cool. Very chilled.
-You'll enjoy him.

December last year, we went to Uganda,

and we got to spend some time
with Zari's person.

And what do you know?

A couple of months later,
Zari's getting married to that fella.

[Swanky] He's definitely a quiet but…

nice guy.

-And he's really young, too, right?
-[Nadia] Yeah.

-[Annie] How old is he?
-27.

-[Naked] It doesn't matter.
-What?

-[Naked] We just said, "Leave age."
-He's 27, I think.

-Isn't he 27?
-He's 23.

He can't be 27.

-Did you just say he's 23?
-I didn't say that!

-Twenty-sev--
-Not 27, but that's a child.

[tense music sting]

[Nadia] I was just like kind of worried
about the family members hearing,

because, like, they're right next to us!

Order, order in court. Order!

-[Naked] Thank you. Yay!
-No ways, you guys! Wait!

-Y'all messy! [chuckles]
-[Luis] Let's move on.

-Love is love.
-[Naked] He's going to say something.

-Hello!
-Hey!

-[man] What's up?
-It's good?

Uh, I'm Zari's first son.

I just wanted to ask
if we can wrap it up nicely,

and start heading over to the ceremony?

-Let's do it.
-Let's go.

-Thank you.
-Great.

That's Zari's son?

Yeah, that's Zari's son.

-Very well-mannered.
-[Swanky] That's Zari's first son.

Told you she was a good mom,
outside every other thing.

That's a big boy.

-[intriguing music sting]
-Okay.

♪ Watch me, watch me push it higher ♪

♪ Burn me, burn me with your fire ♪

[in Luganda] I am Lutaaya Shakib.

I'm from Uganda…

[in English] …and I am Zari's fiancé.

I'm a businessman. I deal in minerals.

I sell cars, and I'm also working
on my boxing career.

[music ends]

[pleasant music playing]

-[Naked] Hey, my brother. You good?
-Hey, bro. I'm doing all right.

So I go to see Shakib before the wedding.

I thought him and I could just have
a little bit of a chat.

You super?

Hundred percent.

Are you sure
you still want to go through with it?

Because my car is parked just outside.

-You know I've been married twice.
-[both chuckle]

So if you want to change your mind,
you better change it now.

-You've been married twice.
-Yes. [chuckles]

It means I can always run to you
in case of anything.

No, I'm the wrong person
because I run away.

Maybe you can even advise me

because you know-- you know Diamond,
and you know Zari.

[tense music playing]

There are things that happen
that even a younger--

a younger person can say
that this is obvious.

Mm.

And they make me feel, like,
maybe Zari is in love with this person.

I found it really weird for Shakib
to be asking this on his wedding day.

I'm a little bit unsettled
because I came here to have a good time.

Whenever Zari gets close to the ex,

they-- they become touchy-touchy,
lovey-dovey, cozy.

So whenever things like that happen,
they cause disrespect to me and her.

-Then I ask her, why did you do this?
-Yeah.

Then she apologizes.

-She promises me never to happen again.
-Yeah.

I don't think Zari has
a soft spot for Diamond.

I think Zari is this alpha.

Once she's been somewhere, she's done.

What is your friendship like with Diamond?

Have you met him? Have you spoken to him?

Because I haven't seen you guys together.
So how is that going to work?

Personally, I don't have
a problem with Diamond.

Mm.

And I can't change the fact
that him and Zari have something

that is going to last forever.

-They have kids together.
-Yeah.

But do-- do you think
there's a small part of him

that is still in love with her?

That's a sad story, bro.
I don't want to talk about it a lot.

I've always thought that Diamond does have
a little bit of a soft spot for Zari.

She's the mother of his children.

But Zari completely
is smitten with Shakib.

I don't think there's any man
in this world for Zari but you.

You make her feel like
the only woman in this world.

Whenever she's with you,
she's loving, she's-- she's soft.

And you're the only person
that brings that out of her.

Which is why I know that with you,
she's in a happy place.

So, my brother,
hey, this is a celebration,

and I know she's in good hands with you.

All the best, my brother.

Sure.

[music ends]

["Manana" by Nino & Esco playing]

-[sighs] Hi.
-Mm.

-This is so pretty.
-Really.

-It's gorgeous.
-Nice.

But Nadia, can I say…

-[chuckling] Yeah. Thank you.
-That's right.

[Annie] This… It's not looking like…
It's not the same venue, is it?

It's not the same venue.
Yours was a castle.

-[Annie] Yeah, but this is so close to…
-Similar, yeah.

Like the garden--

Zari! You didn't tell me you were a fan.

Like the ambience.
The same garden wedding.

You should have just told me

that you wanted a wedding
that looked exactly like mine.

Just that mine looked a lot more better.

[amusing music playing]

-Zari's boy.
-Are you good?

-[whispers] Who's that?
-I don't know.

[Kayleigh chuckles]

But I know that she walked in with Luis.

[Luis] I actually brought a date
to the ceremony who's the officiator.

Her name is Zodwa.

She's a very good friend.

A really good friend.

-Yes, a very good friend.
-[amusing music sting]

-[Zodwa] Let's say a prayer.
-Is your girlfriend here?

-No way.
-I told you I'm seeing someone.

You're seeing her?

-[amusing music sting]
-[laughs]

Listen, so apparently Zari and that lady
that's officiating the wedding

are friends.

The aesthetic is the same.

You know, like the older woman
that looks young, beautiful, banging body,

snatched waist, booty banging.

Listen, that is Luis' girlfriend.

-She looks older than Zari.
-[quirky music sting]

Let's stand up, ladies and gentlemen,
as we welcome our groom.

-[Nadia chuckles]
-I know you. I'll pray for you.

[gentle piano music playing]

[Shakib] This is really an important day
of my life.

I'm nervous. I'm happy.

I don't know
how to express my feelings to you.

It's my first time doing this.

I'm really happy. I'm in a good mood.

Everyone looks genuinely happy for us.

-[Kayleigh] Wow!
-[Annie] Yes, pretty!

Oh my gosh, the little bride and groom,

that was literally
the cherry on top for me.

Deep down inside, I wish Diamond was here

to show those kids
that he fully supports the mom

on her wedding day.

[Annie] My God, he's really young.

-Annie!
-What?

[whispers] I just saw the groom.
I just saw the groom.

I swear, God, I'm not trying to be spicy.

That's the son?

-The one with braids.
-Oh.

[Annie] The son and the husband,
I can't really tell which one.

Who's senior? Who would be the son?
Who would be the husband?

From this boy,
wait, I just can't stand here.

I feel like he's fascinated by Zari.

Zari is a superstar.

It's easy for him to get carried away
and forget the things that are important.

Like, "Am I ready to be
a father to five kids?"

"Three of them are in my age bracket."

"And the other two
who are close to their father,

who is a super-duper star, Diamond?"

That's a lot of baggage
for a very young boy like him.

Ah, no.

[tense music sting]

He's nervous.

-He is, right?
-Yeah, he is.

-Yeah.
-Yeah, he's very nervous.

[Shakib] I'm a bit nervous.
So many people in front of me.

But then I have to stand as a man,
because this is what I want.

she is a bit more subtle,

He looks so handsome, so masculine.

She is my wife.

Congratulations to the new couple.

Now that the ceremony is done,
how about we get the party started?

-[Naked] That's right!
-Let's do it! Let's go!

[pleasant music playing]

[cheering]

[ominous music plays]

[Annie] As the bride and groom
leaves the ceremony,

I cannot pretend anymore.

I need to address this issue
with Nadia from last year.

I need to understand why she took sides.

The truth is,
hearing Nadia saying to everyone,

like, "Oh, Annie's not my friend.
I don't know why I'm friends with Annie."

"Annie is Swanky's friend."

"I must stop being friends with friends."

And, like, that hurt.
Like, where did that come from?

Because as far as I'm concerned,
Nadia and I don't have any issue.

Girl, let me speak to you.
You had a problem I had no idea about.

[Fantana] Are you all okay?

-Nadia will be fighting me by herself.
-[Nadia] I wasn't fighting with you.

[Annie] She couldn't even tell me
to my face. She couldn't.

How? Because you don't speak to me.

Annie thinks this is the best time

to address the fact that I took sides
between her fight and Swanky.

And you're also just coming at me
for what reason, Annie?

We're not friends.

Swanky's my friend,

and we've been very clear about that
from the beninging, honey.

That's the truth. You don't speak to me.

I said Swanky is my friend.

-That's true. Was there a lie?
-That's when--

If you did not consider me as your friend,

why did you honor my invitation last year
to attend my dinner?

[Annie] Nadia is a witch.

Annie is literally having
her own conversation.

Like, I know we're both petty,
you know, but, like, just not now.

[Nadia] I knew it.

Annie was not coming to this wedding
for peace at all.

She's choosing violence.

Now I'm a witch, babes?

And I don't appreciate it.

'Cause it's not the right time
for this conversation.

Because I can't address you clearly.

Annie, are you fine?

You're not fine, babes.

You're not okay.

Wow, guys! Are you fine?

[music ends]

[slurping]

[exhilarating music playing]

Wow.

[Swanky] I'm walking into the reception.
It's beautiful.

The light, the flowers, the decor.
It was very well thought of.

[MC] Ladies and gentlemen,
let's rise as we welcome

Shakib and Zari, The Boss Lady.

[all cheering]

This way.

So, we're at the reception now,
and you know, like…

I'm separated from my friends.

And it's like me and Diamond
are on like some little corner together.

Yes, I invited Diamond.

It's up to him. Is he coming?
Is he not coming? I did send an invite.

[both laugh]

I doubt he's coming to the reception,

so I don't know if Zari, like,
purposely put us at the end

because we are
her least two favorite people,

but it's just really awkward. [chuckles]

[Zari] Thank you so much
for attending our union.

It means a lot to us
because tonight we have family,

we have very, very close friends,

and as-- as you can see,

it's a very intimate,
you know, private affair.

"Please don't be a baddie,

please don't be a celebrity,
don't be an influencer."

"Just be one of the guests,
be one of Zari's guests or something."

[quirky music playing]

And then I realized she was going to sit
next to Swanky, so I'm like, "Ah."

Yeah, I'm out.

I kept a seat for you
at the actual ceremony.

You just coming now?

Kefilwe is my friend.
Um, I invited Kefilwe to the wedding.

♪ Dance to attention

♪ Take one

[Kefilwe] My name is Kefilwe Mabote.

I'm a digital media content creator.

I'm an entrepreneur, author,

and I'm a fashion and travel enthusiast.

[Nadia] Swanky has taken on the role
of introducing new people to the group.

I hope this time he's taken a bit more
thought process on who he brings.

I see that he's brought Kefilwe.

And I don't know if he knows
but I also know Kefilwe.

She's such a sweet girl.
We've known each other for some time.

So, yeah. Shout out to Kefilwe. Hey, girl.

-How was Paris?
-Paris was so amazing.

-Good, right?
-You're the only person that was missing.

I know, babe.

And Kefilwe picked up my award for me.
Obviously, I couldn't make it.

Oh, I get it.

[Swanky] We actually met
at an event in South Africa.

I won the GQ Best Dressed man
in the continent.

And Kefilwe also won Best Dressed Female.

-[Kefilwe] Cheers to that.
-We've got something to celebrate, right?

-To celebrate you, my darling. [chuckles]
-And you too.

This habit of Swanky walking in plus ones
into our events is getting monotonous.

If you're going to invite a plus one,
can you just consult me?

It's my special day.

I'm going to let it go,
but this behavior needs to be addressed.

G, can I pass on a tradition?

-A Namibian tradition.
-[MC] Okay.

Where I'm from in Namibia,
when it's a wedding, it's going down.

We have a tradition.

It's sort of a blessing
for the bride and groom.

We ululate.

So I want to ask everybody,
like all the ladies in the audience,

at the count of three, I want you guys
to ululate your loudest.

Because that is a good omen.
That is a sign of we are celebrating you.

We love you.

Um, we are sending you well wishes,
we're sending blessings, and all of that.

So, one, two, three!

[all ululating]

-[Luis] Louder, guys. Louder!
-[MC] Well done!

[Luis] In fact, we're supposed
to make so much noise

that people next door come to complain,
to say, "You are too loud."

That's what a wedding should be like.

-Should I say something, right?
-Yeah, go ahead.

[MC] This is a moment of celebration.

[clears throat]

[screeches] What is she going to say?

Zari.

[amusing music playing]

I am officially scared of Annie
because me and you both don't like Zari.

Like, why are you giving a speech?
I don't understand.

[sighs] God!

I don't know how to start this, but, um…

-Hey, Annie.
-Should I say…

-Zari…
-[tense music sting]

I kind of feel some type of way
that you invited me.

[Zari] It's a little bit awkward

because this is my special day,

and I do not intend to have
any altercations or episodes with anyone.

In my mind I'm like,
"Is she trying to cause a scene?"

-[Annie] Zari, I love love.
-I know.

I just want to say, genuinely,
from the bottom of my heart,

thank you for inviting me, regardless
of the differences we had two years ago.

You're amazing.

Now I feel bad. You made me feel bad.

That is the problem.

-That guilt is k*lling me, right?
-[Zari] Oh, Annie.

[Annie] I know, like, from everything
that's happened between Zari and I,

I kind of felt a little bit bad.

But then, I also told myself

I had my genuine reasons
why I did not want Zari around.

She was disrespectful
from the first day I met her.

I just didn't want that drama
with Zari on my wedding.

And when Zari invited me,

I know somewhere, somewhere
deep inside Zari's mind, she knows that…

I don't hate her.

But I want to say thank you.

[Naked] Ah, Annie!

-Thank you for having me.
-[Zari] Thank you.

Can nobody come between you guys,
no matter what.

Family, friends, gossip, nada.

Yeah, yeah, Annie!

At this moment, I don't know
if Annie's extremely happy for me.

Does she even mean it?

Wow! So, this speech of Annie's
doesn't make sense to me

because just a few seconds ago

you're tearing apart
everything about the wedding.

And then it's you being grateful
she invited you to her wedding

'cause you wanted to be there.

I ain't going to lie.
That thing got me very unsettled.

-Right now, right?
-Mm.

[Nadia] I'm really embarrassed right now,
but I'm also pissed!

Now you call me fake?

I feel sad for her.

Now, let's welcome the couple down
to stage and have their first dance.

[Swanky] Let's go!

I feel very good.
I married the love of my life.

I'm feeling so blessed
to have my friends and family here,

and it is just so overwhelming,
and at the same time so beautiful.

[Diamond] Well, I'm back in Jo'burg.

However, things are a bit different
emotionally for me.

Zari did not invite me to her wedding.

And if she would have done that,

I would have came.

Even, you know, give them a present.
Maybe buy them a house.

Honestly, I feel like punished

because from the things
that have been happening.

She went on social media,
said things about me and the family.

Especially when she said
you've been cancelled to the family.

After that, you see, my communication
with the kids has changed.

And I didn't like it.
So why would I come to her wedding?

Yo, Chibu.

-Naked.
-How's it going, bro? [chuckles]

-I've been super, and yourself?
-Good to see you too.

Yeah, now that you've stopped avoiding me.

It's a few days after the wedding.

And I know he's seen my messages,
and he hasn't reached out.

But we're here at the barber.
It's been too long.

And, ah, he's-- he's looking good.
He's looking relaxed.

-Why you didn't tell me about the wedding?
-What do you mean?

You didn't show up to the wedding.

I wasn't invited.

[intriguing music sting]

How were you not invited
when there was a whole seat there

with your name on it?

Trust me, I wasn't invited.

I don't believe Diamond when he says
he wasn't invited to the wedding.

His name was there.

You know, there's inviting a person
the way how it's supposed to.

And for the level of relation
that we have, me and her,

there's the way I think
she was supposed to invite me.

Well, I wasn't talking to Zari.

So when she said she invited me,
how, where?

Like, so it does not make sense.

Why wouldn't Zari invite you?

Because she was mad at me

about the whole Fantana issue
and all that.

And she even went on social media.

She said, "Oh, you're now cancelled
to this family."

"You don't take care of the kids."

"What do you do
than paying the school fees?"

And you know, the things she said,
a lot of things are not true.

So I felt so disrespected.

-I do take good care of my kids.
-Yeah.

Whatever they ask.

-I make sure that I provide.
-Mm.

And then you tell me that I've--
that I've been cancelled into the family.

If you want to see the kids,
I should go to the courts.

-I was like, "How?"
-What the hell?

Is that-- Is that
since the whole Fantana issue?

Uh, kind of like, yeah.

I'm-- I'm very disappointed
of what she did

because as the parents,

I think whatever thing that we have,
we should sort it out.

We shouldn't go to the social media.

I expected her to act, or to react
more mature than what she did.

But come on, guys,
the social media thing was months ago.

And the wedding was now.

I thought you were heartbroken
that Zari is now married.

-[in English and Zulu] Me?
-Yes, after all, it's the woman you love.

[in English] You know,
like, your long-lost love.

The mother of your kids.

-Ah, no, no.
-You know?

I was actually surprised
when she told me that…

-Well, Shakib--
-Mm.

Shakib says you don't speak to him.

I've never met him. I would love to meet.

-What the f*ck?
-I've never.

But this is a man that's going to,
like, raise your children.

[Diamond] I would love to meet up
with Zari's husband

because I hate the way how people
try to make it look like me, I'm envying,

I'm-- I'm a jealous person. No, no, no.

I was-- I won't lie to you. I was worried.
I thought maybe you are jealous.

-Ah, no, no.
-You know me.

I've always said
you're in love with Zari still.

You-- You can't be jealous on something
that… you can get it if you want it.

[suspenseful music playing]

Trust me, if I want my family back,
I can have it.

I mean it.

If I want her back, I can have her back.

It's just a matter of me doing this…

["Hypnotize" by Yarin Primak

[Zari] It's been a few days
since the wedding,

and so much went down.

I'm expecting my girl Kayleigh
because she was on the floor.

She saw what I couldn't see.

I was very focused, you know,
getting married,

so we have a lot to catch up to.

-[Kayleigh laughs]
-It's about time.

Hello, Mrs. Lutaaya.

-Oh, my.
-[both laughing]

-Girl, you didn't say that!
-How are you?

That is such a Ugandan name.

[Kayleigh] She's a wifey.

She already has this wifey glow.
[chuckles]

What's up? How have you been?

Yeah, I'm just trying to recover.
I think I drank way too much. Um…

It was a wedding. You was meant to--
We were meant to get drunk.

Your wedding was so dope.

After everything between me and Annie,
I would think Annie wouldn't have come.

She-- She literally said, "I don't want--"

I thought Fantana wouldn't have come.

-I know you and Annie have become cool--
-Me? I'm different.

I want-- I want to be the bigger person
when I'm sitting with the smaller people.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

-Give everyone an invite, yeah.
-[chuckles] Wow.

-But Annie…
-Yeah, she-- she sounded very confused.

You had too much to drink.
Maybe she had too much to drink.

Am I surprised that Annie wanted
to say something in my wedding?

The same Annie that didn't want me
to attend the renewal of her vows?

I am shocked.

I really want to get to know Annie more
this time around.

The fact that she came to my wedding,

it kind of shows, like,
I'm putting this aside.

I'm here.

She could have said no, but she came.
And she gave a speech.

I don't know
if Annie is extremely happy for me.

I don't know where Annie is taking this.

-Annie is one of the nicest people I know.
-[clears throat]

She's got a good heart,
and she has good intentions.

The only problem, Annie is very defensive.
You can't tell Annie anything.

And she tries to hide
behind this facade that she's okay--

-Yeah. that is so…
-She's not okay.

-She seems to be a sweet soul.
-She's an angel.

It's just all that-- that's happening.

♪ I'm a big stepper ♪

Today I'm at a restaurant

because Annie wanted to have lunch with me
and get to know me better.

The speech that Annie gave
at Zari's wedding, honestly,

is why I'm scared of people.

Because I don't really know
if it was real or not,

because I thought
that Annie didn't like Zari either.

And I thought Zari didn't like Annie.
So I don't know what to believe.

Hi.

-Fantana.
-Ah!

[Annie] When you have a friend,
you must fight and argue.

Because when you fight with your friend,

you get to know
the things your friends don't like.

And that will make you better friends.

I feel like there will be some things
Zari and I can work out, our differences.

So like the speech at Zari's wedding,
did you… [chuckles] What was that?

I meant it, okay.

When you got up, I was like,
"Wait, is this a prank?" [chuckles]

And when I said that speech, I meant it.

-I wished them love.
-Of course, definitely.

I know, I said I love love.
I'm a sucker for love.

What else did I say that was so unreal?
Tell me what was unreal.

-Everything you said was real.
-No, that sounded unreal.

-I feel you-- you're more forgiving.
-You said I didn't mean it.

You are more forgiving--

-I'm compassionate.
-Yes.

I-- I want to try and work on,
you know, being Zari's friend,

like, talking to her and everything.

-No, I'm being sincere.
-[laughs]

I want to see what's there.

I don't really know what Annie and Zari
want to do with their friendship, like…

One minute, they both have negative things
to say about each other.

The next minute, they want to be friends.
I really don't know. It's confusing.

-[laughs]
-And then also, why were you mad at--

Why were you mad
at Nadia and Kayleigh too?

-You called Nadia a witch, and I--
-I was mad at Nadia, not Kayleigh.

I need to just give Kefilwe the 411.

-Hi.
-[Kefilwe] Hey.

How are you?

I'm good and you?

[Nadia] Just for her
to kind of understand everybody.

And I don't want her to go in blind.

So, to give you a backstory
about this specific clique,

Annie and Zari have always had drama.

For me, I was very surprised
that Annie got up and did a speech

because the whole ceremony,

she was hating on the venue,
she was hating on the bridesmaids.

She called me fake.
I think she called me a B-word.

-She said all the things. I had to say--
-Oh my goodness.

So much drama.

I'm like, "Annie!"

-Nadia doesn't do nothing to nobody!
-Yeah, that's what I thought too.

-But what did she do?
-I'm like--

When Swanky and I had that issue,

everybody thought Swanky was right
and I was wrong.

She was like, "Annie's not my friend.
Why talk to Annie?"

Like, she made it sound
like I wanted her to take, um, sides.

And I wasn't even fighting
with her, like, about anything.

When I see you, you're hugging me,
you're being two-faced.

Oh, okay.

So if there was a problem,
you should have told me.

Actually, Annie's not my friend.
Swanky's my friend.

Annie doesn't like-- doesn't talk to me
about her personal life.

The person she did talk to was Khanyi.

And she wouldn't even talk to Khanyi
about what was going on.

So the situation is you and Swanky.

If you're expecting me to be diplomatic
in that space, of course I won't be,

because the person that's telling me
how much you hurt him is Swanky.

So you are touched
because I picked a side?

I chose my friend.

Annie, you are not my friend.

-There are three sides to a story.
-To every story, yeah.

Swanky's side, my side,
and whatever the truth is.

Yeah.

Y'all-- Y'all's families are okay now?
Or still divided? Or…

Swanky, he does not understand
what he's done.

When Swanky and I
had that issue last year,

Swanky lied to 191 countries
all over the world,

almost one billion human beings,

that there is a record of my voice saying
all sort of horrible things about him.

What Swanky did,
my daughter was bullied for it.

-Oh.
-"How would your mom do that to Swanky?"

So now you're making Isabel
doubt my character as a mom.

Yeah, make you-- Oh.

-And the kind of morals I put in my kids.
-Yeah.

If he does that to me, he'll do it to you,
he'll do it to someone else.

He's a user.

-No, no, no, no!
-That's what I thought too!

-No, Annie! No!
-This is me! This was me.

I said, "Not Swanky."

-Swanky's the sweetest. My kids love him.
-He is!

My mom loves Swanky.

-Even my mom loves Swanky! [chuckles]
-My mom cooks for Swanky!

So imagine how my mom felt,
and how Innocent's mom felt when he said,

"I will-- I will f*ck you up!
Even 2Face will not survive."

Who the f*ck are you?

Wow.

It is not "wow." Do your findings.

Innocent is 17 years older than Swanky.

Swanky is a rat
when it comes to what's in--

Like, there is no, like, comparison.

-[sighs]
-And you don't mess with everybody's oga.

Like, everybody, there's every artist,
even Diamond, everybody, "Baba, Baba."

But you go and say that sh*t.

They-- They want to beat him up in Lagos.

-He doesn't even know.
-Aye!

Because you cannot be friends
with someone for that long.

And even when they hurt you,
you go all the way that way. [chuckles]

Fantana, I do too much with my girls…

Yeah.

…for you to now make Isabel doubt me.

-Mm-hmm.
-And there's no voice notes.

Oh.

-So there's a lot that's going to unravel.
-Oh.

I am so disgusted, disappointed

of how little he'll bring himself
to lie that kind of lie.

That's a lot. And you see me,
I don't play with that sh*t.

Fantana, if you follow me you know me,
I don't play when it comes to my kids.

-Don't go there.
-Yeah.

-I will bite you, tear you.
-Tear you.

-I will rip-- drag you. Don't go there.
-Bite you. [chuckles]

I will destroy you.

I don't know much
about Swanky and Annie's fight.

But I do know Swanky wouldn't lie
about anything like that.

It kind of has put me
in a really awkward situation

because, I mean, I hope she knows…

[chuckling] …that I'll repeat everything
she's telling me back to Swanky, so…

Agh, hey, hey.

-Oh!
-Yes, karma is about to hit him real hard.

This outing with Annie, honestly,
to me, just felt like a venting session.

Like, we didn't even really get to talk
about ourselves… [chuckles]

…or get to know each other.

Like, she was just bashing
my friends to me.

Oh, this was good.

-Mm, great.
-This was good.

-You is fun.
-[chuckles]

-Let's go.
-Me? I'm so fun.

[dramatic music playing]

[Kefilwe] So it's the day of the event.

I've decided to invite everyone
to get to know them,

and make up my own mind.

Unfortunately, Swanky won't make it today,

because he had sudden travel plans.

I'm quite excited and anxious
at the same time,

especially after Nadia has warned me.

And as I arrive, I just see the decor.

Did I not want to faint?

The draping, the flowers,
and my outfit, darling.

Mm-hmm. Checked her gram page, and I said,

"Okay. She looks like style,
like fashion."

So I'm like, "Yes.
I gotta put some work into today's look."

-You are fine! Wow.
-Babe, it is so great.

-You look amazing. [chuckles]
-You are so pretty.

-I don't even know where to begin.
-I heard you're a mom.

-I'm a mom. A mom of two.
-Mm.

[Kefilwe] Oh my goodness,
Annie is such a wonderful soul.

Like, we connected
like we've known each other for so long,

despite from what I've heard
from Nadia, to be honest.

I love her. She's a gem, man.

["Receive" by Jasmine J Walker playing]

-Oh my goodness.
-[Nadia] Hi.

-Oh, wow!
-Nadia.

The first people I see is Kefilwe,
the host with the most, and Annie,

which I find very unfortunate for Annie.

It would have been nice
if there were other people as a buffer.

Because I'm at this point
of not being able to, um, pretend.

Um, aren't you going to greet Annie?

-Hi, Annie. How are you?
-Not too good.

How are you?

-I'm good.
-Hey, what's happening?

This is gorgeous.

Uh, honestly, like,
today is a day of celebration,

and I'm smiling at this girl,

even though I still feel
like I want to talk to her

about what I was trying to tell her
because I know at the wedding I was like,

"You were being a witch
because you acted like one."

So cheers, my babe.

Annie, do you realize

that this actually is the venue
of your wedding?

-Like, this actually is the one.
-[Annie] Yeah.

This venue with Kefilwe
is actually your wedding venue.

You can't even notice.
Zari's wedding was a different venue.

-Mm.
-So how did you find Zari's wedding?

-Was the first time seeing everyone--
-[Kefilwe] Yes, it was my first time.

You know, it was very nice.

Annie, what did you think
of the wedding overall?

Truly, honestly, um, if that's love,
then I'm happy for her.

[tense music sting]

Oh, "If that's love
then I'm happy for them."

It's a back-handed compliment,

and I realized in that moment

that Annie always has a negative thing
to say about people.

I don't know how I feel about the…
What's it called?

The age difference
between, um, Zari and her husband.

-Why do you have any feeling towards it?
-Why shouldn't I?

I feel like most of the things
that you say are negative.

What does that mean, Nadia?

You tell me. You said it.

-Girl, what are you up to?
-I'm trying to state the obvious.

The obvious is you're negative.

Everything that comes out your mouth
is toxicity, it's venom, it's acidic.

You can't actually even fake it, babes.

You know what you did at Zari's wedding.

-She went off at everybody.
-I went off you.

Is that the right time?

-Nadia, you're being a kid now.
-I'm not being a kid!

-You are being trashy.
-It's fine.

Nadia, what are you doing?

You're looking for issues
where there is nothing.

Dear Lord, not today.

Can the devil shut up? Not today.

When you speak to me without being rude,
I'll listen to you.

I am being rude
because you won't let me speak,

so I'll talk over you.

-I am talking.

I am talking. I am talking.

Say, "I want to talk to you decent--"

-Why? I must do it the way you did it?
-No!

Did you say,
"Nadia, I want to talk to you"?

Or did you just blow off
at the-- at the actual ceremony?

-We must just suck it up because--
-It was you and I. No!

All of us are kids.

Stop moving like you're this mother
that needs to be respected.

You're not an elder, babes.

When I was born you were probably six.
Like, age yourself. Leave me out of it.

-The kids were in front of us.
-You are embarrassing me. Yes, you are!

-When you did it to me, how did I feel?
-I was talking to you.

In a venue like this with more people!
This is actually less people!

There's three people now.

I have a problem with how you did it
at Zari's wedding!

That is why I'm pissed!

-Nadia, shut up. I don't want to hear--
-I won't shut up.

You don't-- You don't like it
when people tell you the truth.

-No, you-- Shut up.
-I'm going to drink your drink.

Drink it, honey,
because what a waste of time this is.

-You are a waste of time.
-[Nadia] Of course, yeah.

Sorry about this.
That's not how I planned it, but--

Because you don't like it
when people tell you the truth, Annie.

Bye.

Mad woman. Stupid b*tch.

f*cking witch. You look like one too
with your little boots.

Like Alice in Wonderland.

What is happening?

You warned me about these people,
but you never warned me about yourself.

That's when I'm like, "Oh my goodness,
more madness is about to come."
