[wild dogs yipping]

Bonang leaving, it is kind of sad that
we are unable to, like, resolve the issue.

I definitely understood
where Bonang is coming from.

Because for her, it is like,
"This is my money, this is my work,

this is my career,
I'm done with this bullshit."

I very much so feel offended.

It was fine
when Bonang was calling me out,

but it became a problem
when she mentioned my country.

She's using Namibia as a weapon
to insult me even further.

How can you book someone
from their country

and forget to book their room?

[Luis] I owned up to it.
I said it is unprofessional.

I owned up to it.
I said it was my first event.

Nobody is saying-- Nobody's saying
she wasn't right to leave.

As a host, Swanky should have stepped in,

and just gone like,
"Let's take a step back," but he didn't.

-I feel like I'm being attacked.
-[Zari] No!

-No, I feel I'm being attacked.
-Me, as a person,

I'm looking at you now and it doesn't feel
like you feel remorse about what happened.

[Luis] Swanky!

Should I cut off my leg
or give a kidney, or what?

I don't know how else to apologize.
What-- What else should I do?

I kind of feel like
Luis was bullied by Bonang,

and Swanky,

you have some damage control to do.

["Way It Go" by DJ Switch playing]

♪ That's just the way it go ♪

[wild dog howls]

[mellow synth music playing]

So I've had some time
to sleep on what happened…

and my feeling towards Bonang
stays the same.

I do not want to engage
with this negative person.

I told my truth.
And she owes my country an apology.

I'm an empath. I feel all my emotions.

Especially when something gets heated,
I really feel it.

So I go for a swim
because it helps me calm down,

it helps to relax me.

After Swanky's dinner,
I kind of feel like I need to reach out

to hear Luis' story, to understand it,

because what transpired?
And why is Bonang so angry?

I really need to understand.

What exactly happened
between the two of you?

Yeah, it was my very first event.
I was young, I was, what, 23 years old.

I was reserving the rooms-- hotel rooms
for the guests as they were coming here.

So she arrives at the hotel,
they're calling me, she's like,

"Um, you never confirmed the booking."

She couldn't get the room anymore
because someone else took the room.

She was upset,
because her thing wasn't booked

at the hotel that we said
she was going to stay in.

He's very consistent.
He hasn't changed anything

about what he said at Swanky's dinner.

So I'm kind of believing
that what Luis is saying is the truth.

So I understand where you apologize,
but go to a point

where you're like,
"You know what? f*ck it."

How many times should I apologize?

-Do you see yourself sitting with Bonang?
-No.

You don't wanna go there.

I've explained myself,
I've apologized, and I got attacked.

I got bullied, so I'm done,
because I don't want to get hurt again.

[ominous string music playing]

[Swanky] Since I got to Johannesburg,
my communication with Annie

has obviously been in the mud,

because she was on the phone
with her manager.

I was on the same phone call.

I heard all of the terrible things
that she had to say about me.

I heard Annie shared the voice notes

that I sent to her, um,
with other friends.

She shared the vulnerable part of me
to other people.

And that wasn't necessary.

But today we're going to meet,

and I'm really hoping
that she just comes and be honest.

The girl better not come
with any bullshit.

[music intensifies]

Swanky called me out here
to come have a talk.

First time after several months.

He had to wait. First of all,

he humiliated me in front
of our so-called friends,

the way he did at Diamond's party,
and Khanyi's party.

Is this a trap to bring me here
and insult me,

because I know how you are.

A very disrespectful child.

-Jeremiah.
-Hi.

I can't remember the last time
Annie called me by my government name.

Okay! [laughs]

Funny stuff.

[Swanky] Hmm.

So, I really just want
to get clarity from you.

I'll start with the voice note I sent you.
I obviously reached out to you.

-Yes, you did.
-Um, you never responded, as usual,

and I obviously heard that you shared

the voice notes with other people.

Because I sent the voice notes
to you in confidence.

What did that mean to you?
It meant nothing?

[scoffs softly]

So I shared the voice notes.

Because I'm tired of everybody asking me
what's going on.

-I offended you.
-[tense music playing]

I'm sorry.

That was me being petty.

The voice notes aside,

you also told them
that I stole your event idea

for the lunch
we were supposed to do in Lagos.

-Swanky--
-Hold on.

-When you're speaking…
-I won't talk about this anymore.

I won't go back and fight with you.

-I've apologized, you see.
-Hold on.

Let's move on from this

-The reason I'm--
-so people will stop stressing us.

I'm here for a purpose, but this energy,
I'm not gonna accept it this time.

[dramatic sting]

No, I want to tell you exactly
why I am mad at you,

and I'm not mad at you
because somebody said something,

or because somebody showed me something.

I would never roll like that,
you understand?

But when I hear you on the phone
talking to someone else

and you're talking about me…

That's a big, f*cking lie.

I heard your voice.

I was on the phone with your management

-You know what--
-talking about us.

Upon the girl picking up the phone,

the first thing you said to her is,

"Hi. I know you like Swanky,
but guess what?"

"I'm going to do this sh*t by myself."

"This is my sh*t, I want to shine."
Etcetera, etcetera.

[in Pidgin] The person I fired called you?
Talks to you?

[in English] Is that what
you're trying to do?

-Listen.
-They did not call me. Listen to me.

I was on the phone as well.
You just didn't know I was on the phone.

Now, first of all, that's a lie.

I'm telling you, Swanky,
that call never happened.

I can prove you had that phone call.

Swanky, you know that
one year of fame can change a man.

One year of fame?

Girl!

[tense music playing]

You know, the only reason
I'm not going haywire with you right now

is just because of your kids.

'Cause it would be so embarrassing
for them to hear your voice,

and this is all the crazy things
you had to say about Uncle Swanky.

One year of fame--

I've dressed up the biggest superstars
across the continent.

-You are a boss.
-I am too boss, you know me.

-I'm not a guy that will lie.
-But you're a child.

-Are you kidding me?
-You're still a child.

I don't think anyone in Nigeria

doesn't know the name
Annie Macaulay Idibia.

I'm way more famous.
Does not mean I'm better than him.

I'm trying to tell you that,
this fame thing, I've been fighting it.

Don't let the shine distract you.

You know that I am very emotional.

-We both are.
-If someone offends me,

-you know my first is to disappear.
-You didn't have to wait seven months.

-Annie, I have to heal.
-Making me think.

You would have been mad, and tell me
and don't speak to me for several months,

so that I know that how I hurt you,
and live with that guilt for seven months,

but don't leave seven months space
for people to put more fire into--

[in Pidgin] Our house is burning.

[in English] I'm telling you what you did.
I'm telling you this is why I cut you off.

Make it make sense to me.

I want to know
why you made that phone call,

because at this point
it's giving me narcissist vibe.

From that day, I legit told myself,

"Swanky, take your time
to understand why."

Until now, I still don't understand.

-Seven months.
-Until now, until this moment,

I still don't understand
what triggered that.

-Why I would do that to you, right?
-Yes.

[melancholy music playing]

[Annie] My whole body wants to leave,

but my heart is telling me to let it go.

Try. Try your best,

'cause I know you, Annie.

Once they trigger you a little bit…

[in Pidgin] It won't end well.

[in English] And that's not what I want.

I'm sorry.

[in Pidgin] And I mean it.

[gentle piano music playing]

[in English] We've shared too much
for this sh*t to be going on.

You're my brother.

Swanky, I love you.
I will always love you.

Annie is trying to run away
from the conversation.

She just really wants to squash this.

In my wildest dream,

I could have never thought

that the person that would pierce my heart
so deeply would be Annie.

Cheers.

To?

To true friendship.

And loyalty.

-Cheers.
-I love you.

[Annie] I will always love Swanky.

He has not even given me
a reason to unlove him.

He has given me a reason
to not trust him, yes.

[Swanky] Until you genuinely mean
your apology to me,

all of those things mean nothing to me.

What you are showing me
is not what you feel about me.

Trust is definitely broken.

[Nadia] Today I'm having a tea party,
because Khanyi is back in the country.

She's been missing all the skindernuus,

all the tea. [chuckles]

I want one of everything.

I'm coming through with receipts, honey.

[Khanyi] Knowing Nadia,
and the tea she's about to spill,

there's definitely drama.

How much did I miss?

A lot.

-One, you missed Annie's dinner.
-Thank you. How was the dinner?

Innocent said something
along the lines of like,

you make love to your wife,
but you can go out and f*ck other people.

Yeah?

You know, I knew that 2Baba would
probably say something like this,

but I'm disappointed.

These two are at w*r.

It's beyond toxic.
I don't know what the word is.

-Have you guys spoken at all?
-No.

[Khanyi] Annie hasn't been a friend.

And I understand she's dealing
with whatever we see on social media.

I'll jump in the day Annie waves at me
and says she needs my help.

[smooth hip-hop music playing]

[Luis] When I left Namibia
for South Africa,

I thought I'd make friends, but of late,
it seems I've been stepping on toes.

So I've been stressing a lot because of
the dynamics going on within the group.

Hello!

-Hi. How are you?
-Hey.

[Khanyi] Long time.

Not having Khanyi around has been so tough
because she introduced me to the group.

So, ideally, she's supposed to
navigate me through the group

and just make sure
that I don't step on any landmines.

-I'm so happy to see you guys.
-You too.

I missed you.

That's why my energy is high,
because of all that love, positive energy.

-Yeah, she's busy giving me the tea.
-[chuckling]

Ah, there's Naked DJ.

[in Sesotho] Oh, my goodness, Quinton.

[in English] So, Nadia has invited me
to her little tea party today.

[in Zulu] What happened at dinner?

-[in English] I heard a lot.
-Dude, I just got here.

[Luis] Please tell me what happened.

-He wasn't there.
-I wasn't.

I will start from the beginning.
Listen, okay?

We're sitting at Annie's dinner.

I don't know how we got to this
conversation, but 2Face essentially said

that a man makes love to his wife,

but when he's having sex outside,
it's just sex, it's not emotional,

-no emotional attachment.
-[Naked] Right!

I'm surprised, I'm shocked because
I'm like, "That's not the 2Baba I know."

I don't know if maybe my hearing--
I did hear Baba say,

"This is how men-- some men are,
and not necessarily him."

Maybe I was thinking
this is what he should have said,

'cause, you know,
Innocent kept on proving himself guilty.

The kind of questions Nadia was asking,
she was just giving him a shovel,

and he was digging himself
deeper in that hole,

and it's like, "Nadia, just hold on."

-So, at Swanky's dinner--
-Oh, here's-- here's the story.

Bonang, Zari and Fantana are there.

So Fantana was talking about how she was
in studio recording with Diamond,

and then I say to Fantana,

"I don't want you to be known
as Diamond's side chick."

"I want people to know you
for your music."

Then Bonang jumps in to say
that she can sleep with whoever she wants.

-'Cause it's her vag*na.
-It's her vag*na.

The next thing,
she's blowing up, you know.

-Who blew up?
-Bonang.

[Naked] I've been friends
with Bonang for some time,

and Bonang is one of the sweetest people.

So, how far has Luis pushed Bonang?

I think the person you need
to have a conversation with

is not B, it's with Fanta.

I don't want a conversation with B.

Oh, okay, so then Fanta
is the one that you need to see

if you've offended her,

because I understand why she would
feel like you're kind of sl*t-shaming her.

I did not mean to offend Fantana.

It was the way Bonang made it seem,

which to me makes me feel
like she was influenced by Bonang.

Yeah, Swanky-- Swanky could have easily
jumped in and said, "Guys, calm down."

Especially when B
was coming for me like that

and he saw how emotional I got.

He could have stopped it.
It's his dinner, it's his event.

[Khanyi] Where was Swanky
in all of this?

I'm still yet to hear his side
of the story, but from where I sit,

he allowed this to happen.

I blame him for letting this
get to where it is right now.

-[classical music playing]
-[Kayleigh] It's a beautiful day,

the sun is shining.

What more could you ask for?

Today, Quinton and I are hosting
a polo event for everybody.

I mean, I kinda heard there was something
that happened between Bonang and Luis.

I just don't want that energy
to be brought to this event today.

[exciting music playing]

[Luis] Everybody who knows me
knows I'm someone

who doesn't like fighting,
but being in South Africa,

it's-- it's bringing out emotions
that-- that I didn't want brought up.

[Naked] So I've been trying
to get know Luis a little bit better,

but he had a heated argument
with one of my friends,

and now I have not seen Bonang in ages.

And it's very difficult for me
to warm up to a person

that has been causing fights.

[music ends]

-How have you been?
-I've been good. I needed that.

-Yeah.
-The-- The swim also helped.

-Are you feeling better now?
-I'm one hundred now.

The swim? At Zari's house?

We just met up at a hotel.

-Oh, you went swimming together?
-No, I wasn't swimming.

I wanted to speak to him
about what transpired, you know,

-on Swanky's dinner.
-Oh, I see.

Because it got very hectic.

-Bonang almost made a grown-a*s man
-[Nadia] Cry.

-cry. Come on.
-No, Zari, don't say that.

I don't know why I agreed
to be part of this group,

but do I really want to be friends

with people
that bully each other like this?

I've been… I've been keeping to myself,

you know, just focusing on work
and all of that.

-You haven't even had dinner with anybody?
-No.

I thought you were going to,

you know, maybe,
go on a little excursion with Fantana.

-Yeah. I want to get to know her.
-Speak of the devil.

Why is it every time
we talk about someone they show up?

[Fantana] I'm happy to be here,
you know, but my only concern

is that I just hope and pray
that Zari does not try me today.

'Cause I really don't want
a repeat of the w*r

that happened at Swanky's dinner.

You know, I just want things to be cool.

-Hi!
-Hi, mama.

-How have you been?
-[Fantana] Thank you.

-Keep your eyes here.
-[laughs]

-How do you know I was looking?
-I know you.

I am confused
about my feelings for Fantana.

Um, I think it's a crush.
I think it's infatuation.

It is what it is.

-We were just talking about you.
-[Fantana] Really?

And here you are.

Naked was asking Luis, he, um…

Haven't you, like,
gotten together already?

-[Fantana] Who?
-[Luis] The two of us.

He asked me on a date, but…

Soon, it's gonna happen soon.

Is he-- He now speaks on your behalf?

Fantana-- Fantana never
speaks for herself,

and I saw that happening
the other day with Bonang.

I'm going to fill them in.
People need to catch up.

Bonang was her spokesperson that day.

No. Me and Bonang are very close,

and I think in the argument
he said something that

was, like, offensive a little bit.

Oh, it wasn't. It wasn't, Fantana.

Should I remind you?

-[groans] It was.
-What happened?

He apparently said
he wants you to be known

for your music and things,

because we were talking
about that whole Diamond issue.

-[Luis] Yes.
-So are they vibing?

Yeah, music-wise,
they're-- they're vibing.

[Zari] I was told Fantana
is not only making music with Diamond,

but there's more to it.

Good for you.

One thing I know, he's got a girl, so,

good luck.

You know, Diamond is a flirt.

-I don't know. He doesn't flirt with me.
-[Luis laughs]

-[Naked] He flirted with you?
-Yeah.

It's normal, though.
Okay, and then we went on a date.

[dramatic expl*si*n sting]

-You guys went on a date?
-[squeals]

[amusing music playing]

Shame. Luis is really
wasting his time with Fantana.

I don't even think he's her type.

[exciting music playing]

[Swanky] I am a descendant of royalty,

so my outfit is definitely
giving a royal situation.

Royal Swanky arriving
at the polo event. [chuckles]

It's so cool.

[Annie] Naked and his girl, Kayleigh,

they said there's
this polo thingy going on.

I'm like, "Okay, sounds good,
Innocent is around."

It would be nice
to attend with Innocent, you know?

[Swanky] How are you?

-Is it your birthday? You got to stop.
-Yes.

-You have to stop.
-[laughs]

Did Swanky just hug Annie?

[Annie] It's clear
that it's just a civil hug.

It's not Swanky and I the way
we used to be. We can't force it.

He can't force it, I can't force it.

-Swanky?
-Huh?

Did Annie just greet you now?

-Yeah.
-Okay, we're so happy for you guys.

Right now, me and Annie are just cool.

For me, like, I'm really only
gravitating towards actions.

Words would never be enough right now,

so, like, the only thing
that would make a difference

with me and Annie is action.

So we want to know what happened,
and who forgave who.

-We're good.
-I'm happy now.

That's it? What was the reason
why you're not talking to each other?

-Oh, Zari.
-It's our business,

'cause we were all here
when you were not talking to each other.

Zari is cunning.

You can't hide how fake and unreal,
untrue of a person that you are.

Girl, stop that.

-I think we're all here, right?
-Is Diamond around?

-Who do I ask here?
-He's on tour.

-He's not even on tour, he's in Tanzania.
-[Swanky and Fantana exclaim]

[Zari] He's in Tanzania.

Diamond's in Tanzania. I do know better.

That's the father of my kids.

Zari, where's-- where's Andile?

How am I supposed to know where Andile is?

Aren't you guys close or something?

I literally told him
that we can't keep this thing going.

-What thing?
-What was the thing?

Whatever you and Diamond is having.

What are we having?

People in this group
have double standards to start with.

It was a taboo for me to get with Andile.

But now Diamond trying
to get with Fantana,

Swanky and Naked are very comfortable
with not saying anything.

Am I not allowed to even talk to him,
like, normal talk?

Not when Diamond is around
'cause it looks suggestive.

When Diamond is around,
you guys act like--

You act like
you are in love with each other still.

[dramatic sting]

Fantana's energy towards Zari is, mm…
It's giving me a little bit of jealousy.

I mean, if she wants to be with Diamond,
leave that there.

And it looks like
you wanna have another baby.

-[Zari] With who?
-With Diamond.

He told you that?

[tense music playing]

Fantana, this is none of your business.
If I want another baby with Diamond,

I will do it.

For us, it was more like
we're not together anymore,

but we can surrogate.

-We can surrogate.
-[Luis] Thank you!

[Zari] We're not together.

-Here's to surrogacy.
-[chuckling]

At this point I don't even want to talk
to Diamond no more, 'cause…

-Are you jealous now?
-You see?

-Oh, sh*t!
-Are you jealous?

[Kayleigh] Not today, Satan!

-I have two kids with that man.
-[Fantana] I don't care!

Let me-- Let me get one thing straight--

I'm not jealous.
I don't want to be a baby mama.

I don't want no kids.

You know men will say whatever they want.

They want to get their way,
so for him to just run to you,

"Oh, she wants to have a baby."

She's being used. She can't even see it.

He's not using me!

Diamond can never use me,
because he's not even top five.

Diamond is just part of my path.

She will soon see the other side
of Diamond, and she'll be shocked.

That it's not the same Diamond
he pretends to be.

[in Pidgin] They sell popcorn
with this show?

[laughs]

Do you understand?

[gentle music playing]

-[in English] How are you?
-I'm okay, and you?

-I'm okay.
-How have you been?

Let me look through your glasses
to fix my sh*t.

-You look good.
-Okay.

You and Annie, you guys spoke?

-Yeah, we did meet up.
-How did this go?

So I'm like was there
anything that happened between us before?

What prompted that phone call?

She was like, "Let's just squash it,
everyone is pouring fuel in the fire."

-Yeah.
-That whole apology thing was crap.

She knows she did wrong,

and she doesn't want to get into it,
it's embarrassing.

It's like you don't realize
how deep you cut me,

because right now, I can't go back
to being bestie with you,

when… I didn't even get the clarity
that I was looking for.

-Yeah. You didn't get the closure.
-No, the like-- No.

Like, if you're not genuinely sorry,
I can't-- I can't feel safe around you.

-No, for real. Yeah.
-I can't trust you.

I can't confide in you, like,
so what's the point.

I don't feel like
her apology was real, it was legit,

if she meant it
from the depth of her heart.

Until she proves herself
beyond reasonable doubt,

that she's really sorry,
and she's legit going to change,

I don't think
our relationship will ever be the same.

So I'm pulling Fantana to the side
because I would like to clarify,

um, what happened at Swanky's dinner.

I just wanted to let her know
that I genuinely want to see her win,

and for her to be known
for her music first.

Let me apologize formally.

I offended you.
I'm looking out for you, you know?

-Diamond aside--
-And then Bonang,

the issue I-- She's very close to me,
we're very close.

She's like a sister to me,
so you guys need to talk

and figure it out.

-Okay?
-Okay. I'll think about it.

Do it, or I'm not going
on a date with you. [chuckles]

-You're giving me ultimatums now. Wow.
-Yes.

[Luis] In order for us
to go on our date,

she would like for me to sit with Bonang
and sort things out.

It's a bit manipulative in a way,
you know.

I would like to have
that conversation organically,

not because it's a condition
Fantana is giving me.

It's going to be a tough one.

If you are genuine and speak to her,
let her know you meant no harm,

I'm sure she will, like, understand.

[Luis] If Bonang does come,

I'm hoping the conversation
is more civilized

in a way that we're not shouting
over each other,

we're not insulting each other.

We can actually
get to have a proper conversation.

[mellow music playing]

[birds chirping]

Zari really pissed me off
at the polo event, you know,

got me out of character.

So I'm in my bed, and I haven't spoken
to Diamond in a while,

so I just decided to call him

to talk to him about
the back and forth me and Zari kinda had.

[line ringing]

I'm not sure why Diamond
is not answering my call right now,

but he can be performing,

so I'm just going to give him
the benefit of the doubt.

Hey, Diamond. How are you?
I know you're busy,

but I need to talk to you
about a lot of things.

I have so many questions to ask you,

'cause everyone is
kind of like making a big deal

about, um, us kind of like talking
and everything like that,

so I just wanted to talk to you,
and see and ask you a few things,

so we can just be, like, on the same page,

so call me back.

I don't really care if people don't
understand me and Diamond's relationship.

I'm free to do whatever I want to do,
and so is Diamond.

["Bring the Heat" by Olivier Bibeau plays]

[Khanyi] Swanky sent me a text
saying we're going to school.

I was never the school-type, you know,

until he said it's a gin school,
and I was like, "Aha."

♪ I wanna see you bring the heat
I wanna see you bring the flavor ♪

The only reason I came
is to sit with Bonang and sort things out.

[Swanky] I genuinely felt like
Bonang and Luis would have gotten along,

but he f*cked everything up.

I know that at some point
everyone is gonna start asking me,

"Where is Bonang?" And it'll get tiring.
So I'm like, "You know what?"

"It's better for me to just
let everyone know what the situation is."

♪ Heat, the heat ♪

♪ Bring the heat ♪

[man] Welcome, guys, to the gin school.

I hope this is the first time
for all of you,

and I'm glad that I am the one
that gets to introduce you to this world.

Oh, Miss Khanyi is already ahead of us.

I'm an owner of a gin.

It's just Covid happened

and I couldn't finance gin
that's just sitting in drums,

waiting for the President to say
we can drink again, so it dissolved,

but I know the process very well.

-[man] Happy with the pounding?
-[Fantana] Yes.

[man] Awesome.

-[Zari] She loves being pounded, this one.
-[Khanyi] Yes!

-You're horny.
-Sounds like a sex class in this corner.

-It's amazingly sexy.
-[Nadia] It's so sexy.

I'm talking about being
in a long-distance relationship,

and how, you know,

I should manage the relationship
to keep it going, and guess what?

Khanyi and Nadia suggest videos.

[Nadia] When I was dating
a man in America,

I had to do this.
He was in a different country.

And all I'm saying is,
don't take long with the oils.

Make sure your light-- Get naked,
and make sure your lighting is clean.

-Put on oils so you're shiny.
-Put your camera on and do thirst videos.

Girl, you need a ring light,

put your phone on the ring light,
get the lights on,

and when he answers the phone,
you already have things on you.

You must be naked,
you must be playing with sex toys.

It was so much fun.

It's not that kind of party, Zari.

[all laughing]

[Swanky] You guys are making a whole lot
of noise in the corner. Can we focus?

I definitely have some announcement
to make to everyone,

and I know for a fact that

it just might not sit right with everyone.

[ominous music plays]

Well, the reason why we have called
all of you to come here,

um, is to let you guys know--

Before I break this news,
I have to let you know, firstly,

how sad I am,

um, to announce
to you guys that my friend,

our friend, Bonang, has decided
to exit the WhatsApp group.

Well, I'm not too shocked 'cause
I knew she didn't want to be around.

But I'm shocked because she didn't tell me
that she's no longer part of the group.

-What do you mean?
-She's not hanging out with us anymore,

because she feels like everyone
is ganging up against her, right?

She feels like the first day--
the first day that she came,

some people didn't say hello to her,

second time she met everyone,
only one person said hi to her,

the third time she met everyone,
she and Luis had a major fall-out,

and she's just like, "This is too much."

[Zari] Really?

I don't know what kind of parade
that Swanky was expecting

we were supposed to do
for B coming into the friendship circle.

[Zari] What was it--
What were we supposed to do?

Bow down, roll a red carpet,
I don't know. Tell me.

No, not bow down or roll a red carpet.

[tense music plays]

This is a different space.

When you walk into this family,
hey, we're all kings and queens.

[Khanyi] I think
Bonang has walked into a room

where everyone here has achieved the most,

but she's never had friends
that are on the same level as her.

She's always got people
that are below her, that adore her,

so it is gonna be difficult
to get to a space like this,

'cause here we don't care who you are.

Where I'm a bit annoyed

is that Luis is the one
that's got the back end of it.

He looks like the creep,
he looks like the-- the misogynist.

Your fault, Luis,
was you confronted someone

who is not used to being confronted
by anyone, even friends.

No one can tell her anything,

and your thing was
you were honest with her.

And unfortunately,
you were sitting with her diehards

and no one will see
where you're coming from.

No, I'm a diehard to all of my friends.
It's not selective.

Regardless, I'm going to stand up
for my friend,

'cause she's the only one that's not here,

and all of you can say
whatever the f*ck you want.

[Khanyi] I feel Swanky
respects Bonang, and he is loyal,

but remember,
Swanky is on the lookout for a new BFF,

getting another Annie in his life.

[Luis] When she started screaming at me,

I was still apologetic.

I never once called her out of her name,
I never insulted her.

But you were also screaming, Luis.
Don't sound like you were the angel.

Don't sound like you are an angel.
Both of you were screaming at each other.

Swanky is not willing to hear me out
because he's already made up his mind,

and he places Bonang
on this elevated stature, so…

Yeah.

I'm not gonna sit here
and watch all of you trying to be funny,

or try to antagonize one person.

-I'll say what the f*ck I want to say--
-No. You're putting Luis under the bus.

I'm not putting him under the bus!

-You won't even let him talk!
-I am not!

If he's gonna speak, he'll speak.

-You're not his teacher--
-You interrupted him!

-He's my friend!
-He is not speaking!

-He's not speaking!
-He is!

How can he talk over you, Swanky?!

-[Fantana] Luis, talk.
-Let Luis talk!

I feel like I'm being made the bad guy,
whereas I was the one who was attacked,

and I was just trying to apologize.

I feel like nobody is hearing me,
nobody is seeing me.

So I want to leave. I just want to go.
