a loud BLEEP is heard before the recording cuts to the start of the podcast.

yasmin: “hey guys! welcome back to yapstars, the hottest podcast going in your ear and out the other. i’m the head host in charge, yasmin ali and i’m here with the sexiest co-hosts alive.” she smiled, pointing at both women. “i shouldn’t be as smiley as i am right now, with this being our season finale and all.. but i’m just really happy that we actually made it this far. i know the hating dusties didn’t think we would, but look at ussss!” she grinned.

tiara: “hey sweetie pies! welcome back to yapstars!” tiara said while waving. “i’m excited. they might cry but i’m ready to get into the tea, like we have a lot to recap and then we’re going sing a song at the end.” tiara said while laughing. “also, check out our matching merch.” she said standing up showing off her top highlighting the design. “let’s get into this. cause we know yall love to yap.” sitting down she crossed her legs again.

chantal: she sat back nodding her head she watched yasmin start the show she smiled. “heyyy, welcome back. i’m actually so smiley right now just because i’m so proud of us. i can’t believe we made it to the season finale. like whoever doubted us. we did it!” she said chuckling softly before she raised her brow. “we singing a song? let me find out we got a song coming out i didn’t know about.” showing off her shirt she slid her hands under the logo and nodded. “get y’all merch! this about to be a good one.”

yasmin: she let the girls get their introductions off, chuckling once more. “waaaait, i can imagine it now. yapstars la diss track. us on the verses, tiara singing the chorus. waaaait.” she slowly nodded her head as the vision came to her, then laughed it off. once it was time to show off the merch, she sat up, smiling cheekily at the camera, and at the last second jiggled under her boobs to show off the logo. “get your yapstar merch, link in the bio. sexiest merch on the scene. sexy bitches and boys, cop up.” she advertised mid-way before sitting back. “we do have so much to get into, though. first things first— last episode.. whew! messy isn’t even the word. lowkey, i knew it was coming but i didn’t expect it to unfold like that.. thoughts, ladies?”

a loud BLEEP is heard before the recording cuts to a different scene with just chantal.

chantal: “this episode is brought to you by g-shock!” she flashed a smile while holding up her wrist to show off her watch. “you know when it’s time to clock some tea or you gotta get some time stamps cause you nosey.” she winked, tapping the face of her watch. “do it all with g-shock, the perfect time piece. keep you on time, accurate, and ready to catch any tea.” adjusting the watch on her wrist, she shrugged. “honestly, if you don’t got one, cop one. if you’re not tryna cop one, you’re just a lame. don’t stay lame. check em out now at gshock.com. and always be right on time for teaoclock.”

a loud BLEEP is heard before the recording cuts to back to the podcast.

tiara: “no, we do need to drop an ep. keep an eye out yall. we gonna do something new and fresh.” she said while waving. “chile,” leaning forward she side eyed them before laughing. “no shade, i was at the scene only because i dead thought that was a lie y’all. i didn’t think anybody spoke up about ryder so i thought it was a scheme but it was truth to it. i will say, i don’t know why i was tagged in it girl, but thank you for posting the screenshots. we needed that and i did respect it.” she said shrugging her shoulders. “but that shit got confusing mid argument i fake clocked out, cause like 5 different people got involved and i was just completely confused. but ryder really set the tone for us when we have another guest we’re gonna need all the tea, names and whatever else you got. cause like we said ain’t nobody gon beat yall up bout it.” she threw her hands up. “plus, i mean shit do be going on. but that shit? felt like a lot. so many people were in it and so many people were pissed, i’m like lord. i’m glad it was all on the floor though.” she said while grinning. “now, i just wonder what they gon think now. cause bitches be messy for real.”

chantal: “everything still doesn’t make sense to me, like i’m so confused on why it was so many people involved and what was the point. i definitely clocked out once certain people got involved and it went left. i’m confused on why yas wasn’t tagged! also, y’all too scary for me. running out of la the moment y’all friend expose y’all for being on some hater tip. we been knew and saw it from a mile away and it didn’t stop a thing. let that be a lesson to everybody that real always win.” she smiled at the camera then thought. “next guest got a lot to live up to. like no joke, that was so much. i wasn’t expecting it really, but i think it just gave everybody a reason.”

yasmin: “so, it’s safe to say— we were all confused. good, ‘cause i thought it was just me. it went from messy to sloppy sooo quick, i tuned out so quick.” she slipped in between, her ear perking up at chantal’s statement. “now, that part was funny. a bitch would rather eat her fist than tag me in something like that, and that’s nooo shade.” she covered her mouth, giggling. “no but all jokes aside, i do wanna clear that up, because the narrative that we clique’d up with ryder to expose anyone is crazy. we were as gagged as y’all were, hearing what ryder had to say. big shout out to her for laying everything on the floor, being bold enough to get her issue out ‘cause it’s a lot of people in the city who will have an issue and then scream in their pillow about it. she definitely set the tone.” she agreed with the girls, her head nodding before bringing her finger to her lip, biting on it. “i also gotta give props to ol’ girl.. ‘cause six bitches and a nigga versus one girl? and she was on timing, like she ducked no smoke. running from the city after all that was scary but i gotta give 6.5’s when they’re due, it take guts to defend yourself from that. especially with no help, ‘cause all the people that were supposed to speak up to defend her chose to whisper. i wanna hear y’all thoughts on that, because that was crazy.”

tiara: “yeah, but it’s because she tagged like twenty people and everyone spoke their piece but then chile..” she shook her head grabbing her cup she took a sip. “not why yas wasn’t tagged, maybe she thought her tag was yapstars.” she said laughing softly, nodding her head she agreed with yas. “no seriously. it gave like they thought we planned that, it was all organic. i’m proud cause everyone always beef up randomly but she just said what the truth was.” tiara said tossing her hands up. “pizza here.” she mumbled before getting up to grab one of the boxes she sat it on the table. “yeah she stood on business and handled it. i can’t even be mad about it but i’m saying, clocking out is real. cause it was a lot.” she said while rolling her eyes. “no shade, i feel like friends, sister or whoever else should’ve jumped in. especially since it was so many people on her at once. we’ve seen them cuss anons out daily but yall homegirl in the field and everyone just woke up like caresha?” tiara asked raising her brows she looked between the girls, grabbing a plate she placed a slice on the plate. “like dolce was in the field bout her friend, cause no shade don’t talk to my friend crazy bout shit. even when she tried to clock her tea, she like yeah i did that and what? that’s just mad real. speaking up for your friend is real, speaking up in general not even trying to jump in it but just showing like it’s some shooters out here. get near.”

chantal: “i think the whole la was confused. it made no sense and started going left. that definitely wasn’t the intentions here, but i guess when you’re messy you gotta prepare for anything.” waving off yasmin she chuckled and rolled her eyes playfully. “she had to think yapstars was yasmin tag. cause huh? i’m definitely happy ryder left it on the floor. like she so real.” her smile came across her face as she thought on it, using her index and thumb to tap together. listening to yasmin’s next set of words she shrugged and rolled her eyes quickly. “i guess. i mean when you ask for it, you don’t have no choice right? i’m not giving no more kudos to somebody who showed they true colors and showed they a hater.” leaning in to get a slice of pizza she nodded her head. “nah. let me tell y’all if these two ever did me how her friends did her? yapstars would be over forever.” she took a bite of the pizza and wiped her mouth. “nah that was definitely a real friend. and then to just nod and shrug when someone try to throw your business out there? so real. i know that had to suck, imagine liking a nigga and you find out he telling somebody y’all business. boooo!” she stuck her tongue out and put up a thumbs down and she giggled. “that was messy. like that gotta be the top level of messy if not, it’s up there.”

yasmin: “she did come for multiple at once, so everything was warranted but bandwagoning onto an argument with six girls and one nigga, kicking someone while they’re already windmilling is truly not my body.” listening to their reasoning, she scoffed playfully. “i was tagged correctly earlier that week when it was all fun and games, sooo.“ she giggled, giving the camera a look, before rubbing her lips together. listening to chantal’s side, she lightly smacked her lips. “chantal, c’mon. i can’t even sit and pretend like it was beef with her. and i hate that secret animosity narrative, ‘cause i don’t dislike quietly. unless y’all had a different history.” she threw her hand up, unknowingly, giving tiara a moment to get the food. she chuckled at tiara’s reply. “woke up like caresha is so funny, ‘cause literally. when i tell you, i would’ve been swinging on my own people next ‘cause excuse me? get y’all butts in the field!” she shook her head. “y’all, chantal been hinting about quitting the podcast since she came. likeeee what’s her deal? you know we got your back, honey.” she poked at the femme, with a playful smile. glancing down at her ipad while reaching for a chocolate covered strawberry, she took a bite. “no, really. that was painful to watch. boys be so loser in this city to women, it’s ridiculous. all in all, it was a lot going on. i hope lessons were learned, but more importantly, i hope we could put this whole sitch to bed. and one more thing, ‘cause this needs to be put to bed as well..” her words trailed off as she reached for the louis x murakami speedy, dangling to show it off. “y’all keep calling my girl unemployed, i couldn’t tell. louis v’d us just for the finaleee. yapstars pays, boo. checks have been cut. kill that narrative.”

tiara: “that is true. being messy comes with a price, i think people dead just messy for the love of the game. but when you’re messy you gotta be prepared for someone to name drop you.” tiara said while biting into her pizza. “cause if i told chantal some shit and she in a situation cause i told her somebody else business but they throwing her under the bus? ima expect her to name drop me.” tiara explained. “she always tryna quit. i’m not tryna listen to that.” she said shaking her head. “nah, i dead said if that was yall letting me go out like that? i would’ve been on the news. i’m not kicking it with bitches who hide when it’s smoke.” laughing she rolled her eyes. “i think chantal knew of her. you know she used to be on that other side of la.” tiara said raising her brows. she bit into her pizza again, nodding her head she picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth. “no, deadass. they dead always call me unemployed like what? bitches mad cause they gotta fake have a career for attention. like damn,” she said laughing. “and it’s so obvious when the same group of people are saying the same thing on my body like i’m having my way. why does my life or my employment even matter to strangers?” she asked shrugging. “checks been cut. been cleared. like know something,”

chantal: “while windmilling is crazy.” she said laughing as she thought on it. she smacked her lips loudly cutting her eyes at yasmin and waved her off for her comments before she went and agreed with tiara. shaking her head once yasmin spoke up again. “no! i didn’t have beef and like you said. i don’t dislike quietly, but that’s my thing. i hate actually showing love only for someone to hate me. secret competition is worse than someone just hating me. so when i say i’m not giving no props. i’m not.” she shrugged her shoulders and chewed on her pizza chuckling at their response. “i’m not threatening to quit! i’m just saying, like if y’all had me out there it would be problems. but i know y’all would never.” chantal chuckled seeing yasmin hold up her bag, she went to wipe her hands off and hold up her own. “my girl my girl ti! she loves us and she’s showing out, dead the rumors of unemployed. y’all just mad cause nobody let you look pretty and get money so easily.”

yasmin: “and that’s the real tea. being messy for shits and giggles? fun. but pleaseee be able to back it up. that’s all.” she agreed, chuckling along with chantal. “no shade.” she mumbled, turning to tiara. “i mean, of course but the fact that you was even able to grasp that.. like i lowkey still don’t even know what happened. it was just too much, honey.” she couldn’t get the statement out without a low laugh, shaking her head. pointing at chantal as she spoke, she nodded her head. “ohemgee, i was just saying that— i would hate to be in a girl’s face who secretly hates my guts. hating me is fine, just let me know so i can move along. so, i understand where you coming from. you don’t have to give props, though. this is just my take on the situation.” she clarified, shrugging as well as she gave a clueless look to the camera. she covered her mouth and let out a hearty chuckle at tiara’s words. “that other side of l.a got it! and that’s no shade, but my wife has visited the circus before.” she slowly shook her head, finishing her strawberry. “never ever, i don’t even play like that.” she added. smiling once chantal showed off hers, she eyed the bag once more before letting it sit on the arm of her chair. “exactly. have no choice but to work hard for pennies and look like it. also, heavy on the fake have a career, but we won’t wake that up. we know where the allegations really stem from, and that stem’s been cut, sooo. she’s good. we’re good.” she added. “anyways! this is a big coincidence because this was one of the topics of our very first yap session. let’s take it back to october. what was even going on in y’all mind when we first started doing this? ‘cause being real.. i didn’t think we’d get to this point or be this consistent.”

tiara: “and was.” tiara said laughing softly, she raised her brow listening to chantal, shrugging her shoulders. “yeah, but i think we just have to recognize the pattern. that for some reason people will think we feel a way or that we’re clocking stuff. but i don’t even know anybody’s name. i feel like for the most part we really mind our business.” she said shrugging her shoulders. “mind you, chantal doesn’t listen but that’ll be season two. i told her already next time…” she mumbled pointing at her. “thank you god. we would’ve never made it but we made it and i’m happy.” she said while smiling at the camera, she bit into the pizza. “hmm,” tiara bounced her leg while thinking. “i thought it was just gonna give us some girl chat time you know? i didn’t think it would turn into what it turned into. butt i’m happy it did. you always stayed on our ass bout recording days.” she said laughing. “i mean i’m usually home, you know. it was always one of yall, i’m just saying.” throwing her hands up she shrugged with a grin. “i knew we could if we just were all in it. plus, i feel like the city needed this a lot of different topics opened doors for people, made people feel something.” she said while shrugging. “did you think it’ll turn out like this?”

chantal: chantal looked between the two girls as they changed the topic, turning it back on her, she raised her brow. “oh…i’m getting jumped. i like being entertained. but then the circus got too much for me. so what did i do? step out and come back to the real world. and i couldn’t be happier honestly.” she said, her smile mirrored her true happiness as wide as it was. she chuckled listening about the debate of tiara’s job. already knowing who’d started talking about her in that manner she rolled her eyes. once yasmin moved into the next discussion point she chuckled and shrugged her shoulders. “i didn’t think we’d make it past episode one honestly. not because of anything but our schedules. we gotta give it up to our girl yas for holding it down and making sure we were consistent. mind you, tiara was always out of town and not telling us where. rewind and go listen to your favorite episode again. we mentioned that at least twice.” she snickered softly and twisted her lips. “this is fun to do and to talk. i actually really love the idea of a podcast so i’m just happy we could make something happen.”

yasmin: “but that’s the thing. i’m thinking everyone’s minding their business and doing them? but perhaps not. that’s why my first question will always be what is there even to hate on?” she replied to tiara. she chuckled at her response, shaking her head. “there will not be a next time. ever, hopefully.. no more clowns. but i’m really just happy that you’re happy.” she added with a smile. yasmin listened to both of their responses, lowly laughing and waving her finger side to side. “oh gosh, we almost went one episode without mentioning tiara fake trying to be ducked off. but i tried, i really did with coordinating and getting our butts in this studio to record. all of our schedules clash but we still made a way, and i’m sooo appreciative that y’all put up with me, my pushiness and my ideas. i love that y’all love doing this with me.” she placed a hand over her heart, with a cheery pout. “i didn’t think it’d go this crazy. i was doubting myself big time, but my support system was so strong, i wanted to deliver for them, especially for my boyfriend, because he really believed in me from the start.” she smiled warmly, her shoulders rising, blowing a kiss to him at the camera. “but now that you mention it, chantal— what‘s y’all favorite episode, forreal? so far, because i still think the best has yet to come.”

tiara: “it’s always like being entertained. like i said you don’t listen…or learn your lesson.” she said while laughing. “damn, not episode one.” she rolled her eyes reaching for her drink. “anyways, yall. she can’t live without saying something bout me traveling—it wouldn’t be an episode if we didn’t right?” she asked rolling her eyes. “i don’t know why you would doubt yourself—you love to talk and clearly we do too. awwwww, boyfriend shoutout that’s so cute. y’all should go back to episode one and put boyfriend in all the beeps. you’ll put two and two together.” she teased while grinning. “i don’t know. i think we’ve had some really good ones, i feel like no episode has been the same. the first one was really my favorite cause we dead had some tea to talk about like literally fell into our lap.” she leaned back, tapping her chin as she twisted her lips to the side. “hmmm. i wonder. i liked last episode too, having a guest was nice. i never thought we would invite someone on. remember when we played that game? that was also kinda fun, heavy on kinda. what was your favorite episode?”

chantal: “i do learn. eventually, why we not acting like i didn’t learn or something?!” she said squinting at them before she finished off her slice and then went to take one more to eat slowly. doing her best to not chew into the mic, she chuckled. “it’s the way you travel. always hiding like you wanna fight or something. location don’t be nowhere in la but let us ask and now we doing something wrong.” chantal smiled at yasmin finally mentioning her boyfriend. “woooow, look at that y’all. yasmin has a man! she has a boyfriend!” she playfully teased thinking on her favorite episode. “oh my god, we haven’t had a bad episode. my favorite though…maybe lil bitch sports. because that was needed and it became a cute hashtag for the time. like point out all the lil bitches!”

yasmin: yasmin immediately turned to the camera, shaking her head side to side as she mouthed the words—‘she does not learn,’ turning her head back to the girls before anyone noticed. “didn’t the fans vote on that, as well? it’s crazy, hopefully next season, we have some new ongoing themes.. that means change the behavior, ladies.” she said with emphasis, giving them each looks. “it’s less about loving to talk and more about keeping the audience’s attention.” she explained, her nose slightly scrunched at their reactions, letting out a nervous giggle. “can y’all stop? y’all really need to grow up, like seriously. and don’t do that. anyways, we all miss the bleeps, right? i’ma bringing that back next season, don’t worry.” she noted to the camera. “true, and it was good tea because it was a topic that needed to be addressed, like truly. the goal was always to bring on guests, it’s just.. y’all.. we’re all really picky.” she admitted with a chuckle. “that was fun and i loved lil bitch sports, it was so needed at the time and really gave hair salon talk.” she agreed, before pondering. “mine would be girlhood. that was the first time we woke up the shit that be happening in this city and i love when we do that because we experience so much weirdness and never discuss it. that episode felt like an outlet, like a release.” she admitted. “these episodes are so personal to us, because as girls who are.. usually.. very private, this is like the only peek people get into who we really are. what was the hardest aspect about the show? whether it’s something you shared, or something you were going through behind the scenes but had to smile and yap through?”

tiara: tiara turned her head slightly, shaking it once chantal said she learned. “y’all go places all the time and don’t tell anybody. weren’t you just in turks?” she asked looking at her, throwing her hands up again. “anyways, yeah i’m glad she finally saying boyfriend. this girl would die on a hill of no nigga like please!” she said laughing. “ooo, that was a good one.” she agreed nodding with chantal. “no, cause if i say who she wanted as a guest, it would gag yall and would have bit us in the ass literally. like my girl be having really good intentions, but chile.” she chuckled. “that’s a good one too. i like that for us. i like how we can really have open conversations about anything.” tiara complimented. “i think the hardest part for me was trying to balance what i wanna share vs what i don’t want to share, you know? i think i’m pretty private and i really don’t open up a lot. but i didn’t wanna hide too much, but at the same time; it’s just not in me to overshare,” she said shrugging her shoulders. “i feel like there was a moment when social media was going crazy and i really just didn’t care about a lot because i know the truth, you know? i’m not going to be on a stage spreading my pussy open telling my business. cause bitches believe what they want to but it’s like c’mon. we know the truth. i think people tried to twist a narrative so much and expected us to shout back the truth just to get us outta body.”

chantal: chantal scoffed at the ladies’ responses before she turned to tiara to raise her brow. “you see how you knew where i was. y’all tiara be gone and we have no idea where or who she be with.” she said speaking into the mic before chuckling. “boyfriend boyfriend boyyyyfriennndd” she said mocking yasmin before she stuck out her tongue at the thought. her brow raised and nodded. “yasmin guest list a lil funny…i’m picky with guest for a good reason. i’m just happy that’s not a thing anymore. only the realest guest. the first one set the tone reallyyy. and i’m not just saying that..” she listened to tiara speak and answer the question, laughing softly at her she nodded. “spreading pussy is crazy, but yeah definitely deciding what i wanted to and didn’t want to share. specifically about my last relationship. especially when i decided to break up with him.” she shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. “like the last few episodes maybe the last two? before the ryder one. when y’all would bring him up i kinda would just haha but also like..knew how i felt so that was hard. but anyway! we’re moving on. that definitely was hard for me to deal with while filming cause y’all loved to tease me like yo..please. i’m thinking about so much and y’all was just giggling. what about you yas?”

yasmin: yasmin looked in between the girls before giving the camera a look, reaching for another chocolate strawberry to snack on during the back and forth. she couldn’t help but chuckle at the comments made, reaching out to lightly push chantal at her mockery. “as i should’ve. niggas do not deserve to get claimed until they deserve to get claimed. that’s how you know if a man cuffs me, he’s the goat.” she said slickly, sticking her tongue out while biting down on it. “oh my gosh.. y’all, in theory— it would’ve been a good idea! i was this close to making that call too but i’m thankful for fate and my homegirls’ discernment.“ she admitted, giggling to herself as chantal boasted about the guest. her attention turned to tiara once she answered the question. “that’s true, it’s really hard to balance because you wanna be personable and let people get to know the real you, but not necessarily put your personal life in the spotlight. as if you had a choice, ‘cause your tea was still out.” she added in, teasingly, before chantal spoke up. “damn, girl. and mind you, we wasn’t sparing you with that relationship, no shade. like it was all shade in them jokes, so it really must’ve been tough just laughing it off. but, i think you needed that tough love to help you face the tough music.” she reasoned, before answering the question. “the hardest part for me would definitely be separating yasmin as the creator & host of yapstars and yasmin, the poppin’ girl from chicago. a lot of times, i have to put the brand first and it comes with a lot of self-sacrifice. whether it’s ignoring things, not getting up here and ranting about certain situations or people, or being the unfiltered girl that got me the notoriety in the first place. or it’d be times where my personal life has taken a hit, but i still have to get up here and make sure things are running behind the scenes and with a smile for these cameras.“

tiara: “from social media. we move tho.” she said while shrugging, laughing as chantal dragged the mention of boyfriend out. “yeah, i think the idea was there like you know, it wouldn’t hurt but man. that would’ve been a bigger mess.” tiara said shaking her head, picking up another slice of pizza as she listened to chantal. “nah, i feel you. cause like yas said, it was always some jokes. so it’s crazy you just haha and nodded. but, i don’t know! it was just bad chile. it was just some tough love and you came to that conclusion by yourself.” she said while smiling, biting into the slice while listening, chewing her food she nodded before speaking. “nah, it is hard to separate the two but you don’t wanna be too different that people can’t even see the real. i always think that people want that reaction, they want that coke rant, they want to seem like they are the center of your life or making shit happen the whole time, this ship moving with or without a hoe.” she said shrugging her shoulders. “it’s hard but no shade, we gave so many people the platform to speak. if they weren’t talking to us nobody would even care about what they gotta say.” she placed her pizza down, picking up her drink. “i honestly think as a group we handled a lot well, we showed up for the pod and nothing was ever one sided. it was really a group effort and that what makes it work. the collab aspect of it. literally a team.”

chantal: “i mean that’s means this one is speciallll.” chantal teased before putting the boyfriend teasing to a rest for sure. she smirked and looked at yasmin. “and this goes back to one of our other episodes. who’s the friendliest? it’s yasmin. i’m friendly but do not trust easily. yasmin was finna invite…nevermind. maybe one day we’ll tell y’all.” she joked and smacked her lips. “y’all it was haaarrrdd.” she had a playful pout on her lips. “it wasn’t even tough love they were just mean and i didn’t tell them anything because it would’ve influenced my decision. had to keep it 100 percent authentically me. despite what people think.” she said rolling her eyes. “i feel like you act the same on and off the podcast though, you might be a little rougher around the edges when it comes to real life, but you’re authentic and you through and through.” she said commenting on yas. “she’s hella professional for sure too. my yas, i love that for her. she really got into her podcast bag. i can’t wait for our next season. shes gonna show y’all even more. actually all of us will.”

yasmin: yasmin lowly giggled at chantal’s remark, shaking it off. but as the two girls ridiculed her potential guest idea, she smacked her lips before deeply sighing. “it would’ve been messy but luckily, we were saved by the bell. i am not! don’t worry, you know i love a good poll. we’re gonna ask the people. ‘cause y’all are the only ones who think that! aht! yeah, watch it please, i would’ve brought back bleeps real quick.” she said, following up with a ‘tuh’ and a chuckle. she pouted lightheartedly at the topic and chantal expressing herself. “it was love and it was necessary! but she did make her decision all on her own, i don’t like that narrative either. ‘cause if we had anything to do with it, it wouldn’t have even—.” she paused, holding her hand up, not wanting to rehash it. “moving on.” yasmin nodded in agreement with tiara, letting a chuckle slip at her last comment. “and that’s no shade, as braggadocios as it sounds. that’s why we get antagonized and poked at a lot, which circles back to the wanting a reaction, wanting that moment.” she said, nodding throughout her sentiment, until chantal spoke up and her brows crinkled a bit. “did she just call me rough around the edges when i’m literally a sweetheart?” she raised a brow, asking the camera specifically, before signaling to the engineer to cut this part out. “uhm, but yeah, real authentic! i just treat my social media like the confessional room that it is.” she carried on, warmly smiling at the compliment. “aw, thank you wifey! and yes, i have so much planned and we’re gonna come harder than ever. trust. so let’s plant the seeds now before we go. what’s one thing you want to see or hope for the next season?”

tiara: “you know i love calling yall friendly. and then the examples really just fall on my lap, cause if we say who they might point and laugh at our girl.” she said while laughing softly, listening to chantal she nodded her head. “i agree with you heavily.” she replied, everything she said hit it right on the spot. “the antagonizing is mad funny. i remember one time krue was like ‘you know they’re rage baiting you?’ like well, yes, but i was still mad! i’m the easiest to rage bait, please,” she said laughing, tapping her chin, she raised her brows. “mmm, i would wanna see us have more guest, already said that but honestly some more segments like touching on more real life conversations even if they are older. i feel we do a good job with recognizing trends and what needs to be said. but it’s so much girl code, girl talk conversations to have. i wanna have it to where [BLEEEEEEEP].”

chantal: chantal chuckled and quickly went to turn in her chair, getting another piece of pizza to chew on as the others spoke. watching as yasmin went to cut something out she raised her brow. “girl you be ready to fight. rough around the edges. why we cutting stuff out?” she said, going to explain herself a little more before she laughed. thinking back on their podcast she nodded her head agreeing with tiara. “more guest, more segments. i want [BLEEEEEEEP].” she tried to think, taking her time to eat some more pizza in between her thoughts. “i honestly can see us doing so much with this. like it’s only up from here. this is the first season. not the last.”

yasmin: “i could never be pointed at or laughed at.” she pointed out, giving tiara a look before waving them off. listening, she chuckled in reference to the comment, smoothing over her hair. “i’m glad he sees it but like yeah, we know they are, and they doing a damn good job, we be mad as shit!” she covered her mouth as her laugh continued. she then smacked her lips in response to chantal. “no, i do not! but even then, who said sweet girls don’t fight? i have an image to maintain, watch out, forreal.” she held her hand up, before flipping her hair, snickering throughout. “i agree, actually a lil’ too much ‘cause these were definitely some of the ideas i had. like y’all are giving away the goods so if you’re listening right now, i hope you enjoyed those bleeps.” she remarked before letting out a deep sigh. “ohemgee, guys. it’s the last close out.. see, this is where i start crying.” she pretended to fan her eyes, sniffling. “if you made it this far, throughout the episode and stuck with us the entire season— shout out to you! thank you so much for riding with us this entire season, through all the ups, downs, and non-stop talking. let us know what you wanna see from us next season. which guest do you wanna see in our hot seat? what segments should we add? let us know! as always, i wanna thank the sexiest and most irritating co-hosts alive, for seeing this through with me. is there anything you wanna leave our yappers off with one last time?”

tiara: “hot topics like a little segment where we do it at the end? i wouldn’t mind that so the whole interview doesn’t have to be like that.” she said nodding her head while smiling. “my homegirl think nobody can laugh.” she said while looking over at yas. “so you wanna be outside rumbling? chile.” she said squinting her eyes at her. “please! cause i’ll actually cry.” she said laughing. “i would just like to say thank you so much for joining us this season. it was very special to all of us, a great idea turned into a big platform for some real bitches to keep it real. no shade.” tiara said while smiling. “i’ll also like to say i hope you all stay tuned and look forward to the next fun thing we throw at y'all! this is for the real ones who really get us and not wanna hate us. i love you all.” she said blowing a kiss at the camera. “we’ll see you next season!”

chantal: “yeaaah. or even at the beginning and we relate it to our lives or something.” chantal laughed at the fact that yasmin would bleep out some of their ideas, rolling her eyes. “well! i guess you guys will just have to see what’s coming up next on yapstars. yasmin might show y’all a lil throwback video of her tussling so y’all know not to play with her.” she smirked, giving both the girls a side eye. “they aren’t gonna cry. at least not on camera.” she playfully rolled her eyes and took a moment to think. “thank you guys for listening! we truly do appreciate everyone for tuning in week by week and coming to hear us yap—and yapping with us. be ready for bigger and better coming soon, because honestly it’s coming and it’s only up from here.” she winked and waved at the camera. “love y’all. see you next season!”

yasmin: "tiara know i don't be outside rumbling, 'cause she out of all people would be right next to me. rumbling, too. hello." she pointed out, with a chuckle. "can y'all stop? one lil' comment and now i'm mini muhammad ali. well.." she paused, considering the last names, then snickered. she let the girls say their own final sentiments before pausing momentarily. "and that's a wrap. well.." she looked between the girls. "it doesn't have to be. i think you guys could just.. come see us on tour, at a city near you! yes, you heard it here first, yapstars is going on tour-- hostings, meet and greets, panels. all brought to you by g shock. we have so much in store for you guys this summer. real motion never slows up, so come get lit with us, whether it's at the club or at a theatre, where you can join in on the yap session this time! tickets will be dropping soon, so save those coins or ask that man.. 'cause i know y'all are hiding one, too. so, it's not a see you next season. more like a.. see you very soon, sexy bitches. i'm yasmin ali and thank you for listening!" she blew one of her signature kisses to the camera.

a loud BLEEP is heard before the recording cuts to the start of the podcast.

yasmin: “hey, guys! welcome back to the hottest podcast on the scene. i’m yasmin ali, the hostess with the mostest and i’m here with the sexiest co-hosts alive of course, dumbass number one and dumbass number three!” she cheesed. “we also have a very special, veryyy sexy guest with us as well today— miss ryder luckette. la’s favorite all around beautician for the it-girls. that’s hair, nails, skin and lashes. go book if you haven’t.” she prefaced before giving the girls space to introduce themselves, turning to them. “we got the city’s top four in one room right now, this might be our sexiest episode yet."

tiara: she crossed her legs as she started her intro, covering her mouth she laughed. "they said we're tied for dumbass #1 b.t.w., just wanted to clear that up." tiara said while waving at the camera tilting her head. "and i'm actually happy they said we're tied cause that gives us something to share, sistas forever." she said leaning into yas. "wait, please clock that. cause she is very sexy, i was afraid, i didn't know how it would be with all this fine shit in one room. like i don't know, my nipples might get hard or something." she joked. "i'm so ready to get into this show, i hope y'all are all buckled up."

ryder: “oop! see, y’all are a trip. i gotta get me a position doing something, so i can be in on this.” she laughed, quieting down once the ladies were given a cue to begin. ryder listened attentively, tapping her fingers together as she gave a nod and a look towards the camera once yasmin cleared the intro with ease. “thangyaaaaa. coming in here repping the three-oh-five! shoutout to all my miami girls and gworls like i’ve been hype for this. i’m thankful for the opportunity. i can’t stress that enough.” ryder smiled as she looked back to the other’s at her side. “chile, y’all are tea on and off the internet, so i can see why feathers get ruffled whenever y’all pop up on the scene. it’s only right i clock that like look at the material, y’all.” she looked back to the camera, playfully dropping her jaw, laughing at her own antics as she continued on. “literally how i feel whenever i see the big three. put some respect on they name foreal but hey, i’m so ready to get into the real tea with you girls. my mama ready for it too.” ryder chuckled, raising her hand to send a wave off to the camera. “hey maaaaa.”

chantal: laughing as she started off the show she used her fingers and tapped them under her chin as she was introduced. “heyyyy, number 3 checking in.” she replied with a wink before turning as she introduced ryder. her face lighting up, she used her two fingers and tapped them together at her intro. hearing tiara’s words she side eyed her with her brow raise before ryder spoke. “miammiiii in the building. one of my favorite places to be. …actually, i think yas too so i think we’re all happy to have a piece of miami with us today. and to be oh so fine..yeah it’s getting hot in here again or it’s just me?” she said fake fanning herself with her hand as she glanced at ryder, chuckling to herself. “we’re happy to have our first and by far sexiest guest here. i’m not joking about it being hot, but yasmin’s tryna turn up the heat even more y’all. this girl love a lil hot seat, but we can’t ask her nothing. she sensor us more than they sensor the epstein files.” chantal chuckled and sat back once she finished speaking, fixing her hair a little.

yasmin: she nodded her head, in support of ryder’s statement then chuckled along with her before she focused on each girl as they spoke, her smile lingering, pulling away from tiara dramatically. “first of all, i know we’re all aware of a lot of these new anons being self-sent. so tiara, you really need to stop doing that, it’s not cute.” she grimaced, shaking her head. “i know that’s right, a real miami native. and we’re more than glad to have you on the show! but please don’t gas our heads bigger than they already are, ‘cause we could really sit and let you go on and on.” she chuckled, nodding her head in agreement with chantal. “you know i do, that’s where i’m retiring and ryder already promised me i can stay at her penthouse so i’m giving la about three more months to get it together, no shade.” she said, dusting her hands off as if she was finished. “who doesn’t love a lil’ hot seat? i’m here for the people, by the people, asking what the people wanna know. and ryder seems like she don’t mind, and like she’s ready to clear it up, so let’s get into it. i just hope mama rough ride is ready too.” she joked, pulling up her ipad. “before we do, i just wanted to highlight this full circle moment. if you’re a real day one, then you know in our first episode, ryder and the situation she was in at the time was one of the topics of our discussion. if you don’t remember, take this moment to go back now and then meet us back right here, please. i’ll give y’all a second.” she paused for just a moment before turning to her. “but it’s actually funny and a coincidence to have you on the show now. how has navigating la been since you’ve landed here? with all its ups and downs.”

tiara: nodding her head at ryder she started laughing. "let us know. i'll find you a spot on here." she said while smiling, sitting back as ryder did her introduction tiara leaned forward clapping her hands. "miami girls are always so tea, like seriously." she said while grinning. "not the big three, you gon make some people mad about that." she said laughing, she glanced over at yas. "do i look like a self sent anon type of girl? i rather cuss real people out than anons, but i do enjoy a good ki when i'm sent something. but nanana boo boo. yall can't ever say it off anon." she teased sticking her tongue out. leaning back some she reached for her cup, pouring herself another shot she shook her head taking a deep breath. "we might need another round." she mumbled pouring some into yas cup also. "ooo! i forgot about that, that was our first episode! nah, that was actually crazy. it's crazy how back then niggas were acting like bitches, like literally needing an audience to get their shit off," she started while raising her brows. "months later and a new batch of niggas still need an audience. not only they need an audience but they wanna point fingers, chile." she looked between the girls taking a sip. "yeah, how has it been? i know it's kinda annoying having your business on the jumbotron but i think with you, people see beyond that."

ryder: ryder caught chantal’s gaze before her eyes shot up to look around for an open vent. “yeah, they definitely need to cut the air up in here before i melt in this seat.” she teased, softly chuckling as she focused back in on the camera with the slight tilt of her head. “i said what i said. y’all at home know it’s facts. the girls give, so give them their tens and if you’re feeling some type of way, you know where to hit me and speaking of anons,” ryder cleared her throat as she sat upright. “it’s sick how many y’all will send just to be ignored like that’s got to suck. take time out of your day to be productive, proactive! it’s so much to do out here. find a better hobby than that.” she mugged. finally quieting down to allow the other’s to speak, she playfully rolled her eyes once she was reminded of a particular moment that blew over on the timeline. “i’ve had so many arguments on twitter that i hoped it wouldn’t taint what i worked hard for but then again, i don’t give a damn. i honestly feel like i was able to navigate through and keep people interested in who i am, what i do, how i do it by just being me. at the end of the day, i have to live with me and i hate being the bigger person. i’m only one hundred and twenty-five pounds. it’s not happening but i’m learning to just let it go. especially connections that no longer serve me.” ryder finished off, glancing over to tiara as she offered up her cup for another shot.

chantal: chantal chuckled softly at yasmin’s shot at tiara. “i mean, we know who self sending. it ain’t anybody over here. but shout out to them for keeping themselves entertained i guess?” she shrugged as if it brought confusion onto her but followed with an eye roll. “they’ll never. and i mean ever be that bold, but if y’all wanna try to step can y’all do it before i hang up my petty jersey again? i’m about to leave the league and ti ain’t let me drag it to helllllll.” she said imitating cardi b as she sung before she passed over her cup to tiara to pour her up. “how could i forget that, damn that was definitely a different time like look at how much has changed.” she said before she went to adjust her top, fixing it slightly she smacked her lips. “that’s the problem, people do stuff for public approval and think that everybody else thinks the same, but jokes on youuuu. the ones who actually don’t actually get recognized. real recognize real.” she shrugged before her gaze landed back on ryder as she started to speak, a small smile staying on her face she nodded, while her fingers continued to play with the mic as she listened. “people really will poke until they get it out of you though, that’s why that being the bigger person thing doesn’t always work. i think everybody here has tried, and failed unfortunately but fortunately. i think you’ve managed to separate the rough ry side and keep people interested though..like you really are hella talented and are killing it since you’ve come to la. i think when you have as much talent as you do, you can kinda crash out a little and still be on top of the game. you ever feel like people do try to poke because they know, you’re literally that girl? like.” as she spoke she gestured to ryder as if she was showing her off. “just look. and all that talent? i know if they mad at us for no reason they mad at you too.”

yasmin: as ryder continued to give the girls their props, yasmin coyly grinned. “big three, don’t need a big speech. but actually, they better not send you no anons about this episode. leave our guest alone!” she playfully wagged her finger before blowing a kiss towards the camera. “you do, and i have that tea. but here you go, being childish.” she chuckled at her actions and teasing, along with chantal’s taunting, welcoming the extra liquor that was poured in her cup. “girlll, they be blowing your inbox down outside of the ones you post?” she initially questioned ryder before following up. “that’s crazy, what do you think is the craziest one you’ve received?” she slipped the question in, turning to tiara. she playfully grimaced. “please wake that. new clowns, same circus. you know we don’t condone men speaking up against women, especially on the media so if that’s you— ewww. yuck.” she scrunched up her nose. she listened to ryder’s answer and the girl’s response, slowly nodding her head. “yeah, i don’t think the twitter arguments could ever taint your character— unless you’re dead wrong. people judge all they want but they’ll never know what it means to stand up for yourself and your respect, no matter how crazy you might look. so, the fact that you’ve done that, without hesitation, a co-sign & you keep up with your coin? that’s a bad bitch. be fair.” she commented, nodding her head as she agreed with chantal, smiling to herself as she rambled. “i know that’s right, chantal. hand deliver those tens, boo.” she teased, smirking taking a sip from her cup before clearing her throat. “i’m glad you’ve mastered letting things go, though. to our audience, it’s okay to keep it cute. but it’s okay to crash out. and then it’s okay to let it go. being the bigger person 24/7 gets you nowhere but constantly being poked at by lil’ bitches. handle it how you feel best, and stay true to yourself. as long as you do that, people have no choice but to respect it.“ she gestured, nodding her head before clapping her hands together and sitting up, looking between the girls. “on that note, it’s getting a lil’ chilly in here. let’s heat it up.” she covered her mouth, laughing. “soooo. hot seat. each of the hosts gets two questions to ask, but ryder, you only get one skip. so, make it count. this my last time asking.. you ready?” she looked at ryder teasingly with a playful smile before looking between chantal and tiara. “who’s going first?”

tiara: "now everybody wanna get hot, i warned yall bout this girl don." she said while looking between ryder and chantal. she smiled, nodding her head as ryder continued to talk she made some good points. "nah, the anons they send is seriously a ki. imagine being so angry that you can't step to someone so you get on anon and you're like rawrrr." she said before laughing. "that's real. i don't think it taints anything, it just let people know you're not to be played with." she said while reaching over to fill her cup with some alcohol. nodding her head she pointed to chantal. "i hate when people do stuff for the public, like no shade. people be wanting validation from all parties and in reality nobody cares. but like you said, people peep that weird shit." she shook her head placing the bottle down. she raised her hand to go first for hot seat. "ima go first, i have a question." she said while grinning. "now, this just me being a little nosey. who was running their mouth to your ex bout something? or was that just make believe fairytale?" she asked.

a loud BLEEP is heard before the recording cuts to a different scene with just tiara.

tiara: "this episode is brought to you by g-shock." tiara said while smiling at the camera she tapped her wrist showing off her watch. "you ever wanna check what time it is when somebody has you fucked up?" she asked tapping her watch. "and can we talk about the empty wrist situation we've been seeing," holding her wrist up she showed off her watch along with her diamond tennis bracelets stack. "it adds attitude and personality. g-shocks are tiny tanks on your wrist, tough enough to handle any situation thrown at you." she said while winking, shrugging her shoulders. "check them out at gshock.com."

a loud BLEEP is heard before the recording cuts to back to the podcast.

ryder: “i’ve definitely been poked at and let a lot of stuff just slide because i didn’t want anyone in my business at the time. once i was done with the situation, it was up from there.” ryder added on after chantal’s statement. “you really live and you learn like i think after all i’ve encountered here and back home, i have better judgement with shit and realized that it’s people who like the idea of you but not you. i’ve become cautious with who i give my time and attention to. that goes for friends, family, clients, lovers, whoever.” she paused, carefully eyeing the amount of liquor poured inside her cup before flashing another soft smile to chantal. “i could really say all of that about you but we’ll save that for later.” she hid her smirk behind the cup that she tilted the rim of it up against her lips, sipping quietly as she directed her attention to yasmin next, responding to her inquiry with a nod. “blowing my inbox down. people just want to know what i won’t tell. i pick and choose what i want out there but i think the craziest anon i kept getting was about a threesome with my ex and i. everything else just be people being nosey.” she softly chuckled as she gathered up another sip before placing the cup aside. “this liquor definitely loosening me up. my lips just can’t get like that or else it’ll be a riot in la but i don’t know. this game you speak of might just do it.” ryder took up her cup to toss back the rest of the don julio with ease, taking in a deep breath before she prepared herself for the first set of questions. “okay, so out of alll the questions i can only skip one?” she playfully kissed at her teeth. “you know what, fuck it. let’s do it.” she laughed, glancing at the other’s before her eyes set on tiara who began the game, instantly rolling her eyes at the question before she dropped her head to chuckle to herself. sitting back up within her seat, she spoke back into the mic confidentially. “the person who went running to my ex about our relationship was bentley and you know what’s crazy? she was up under my post that i made about people finding something safe to do, just for it to be her. mind you, i didn’t find out who it was until days later, maybe even a week after ol girl and i got into it. i was shocked because i thought shit was cool. you stayed in my comments. i can’t say if she was trying to be messy but it was messy as hell because if you’re trying to get at someone else, why are you telling my ex or asking my ex about the relationship we had for her to feel she could come at me crazy like i ever spoke to the girl about anything. it definitely made me look at these girls in la differently because don’t ever try to throw me under no bus whether it’s intentional or accidental.”

chantal: chantal playfully rolled her eyes at tiara. “because it’s hot! now we gonna act like it’s not hot.” she said shaking her head as she sat back listening to everyone talk, her eyes bounced between all of the other’s in the room before she ended up on ryder again. tuning back into the conversation she laughed. “rawwwr is crazy, but that’s really how it be. like… i swear. then it be the arguing with somebody who scared to show they face. for what?” she waved it off as she thought about it some more. “well everybody knows how i feel about doing things for validation, especially now so i don’t need to go further on that but uhhh yeah.” she smiled, slightly blushing at ryder’s comment before she smacked her lips bringing her cup to her lips to sip from. “mhm.” she paused hearing that they each had to ask something, twisting her lips she waited for tiara to start off chuckling once she heard the question her eyes widened a little at ryder’s blunt answer, chuckling softly she raised her brows. “mmmmmmm.” she said dramatically before unable to hold a laugh. “that’s crazy and hella messy like, people be wanting tea for real. we should be having tea instead of shots! cause why that seat actually hot?” she called out before she looked around. “i guess it’s my turn? damn. this is hard, i don’t know what to ask.. i kinda.” she tapped her hands against the desk and shrugged. “can i go after you, yas? i’ma think about it.” she said twirling her finger around her head to show she was thinking.

yasmin: yasmin slowly nodded her head at ryder’s statement. “a word, like actually. especially in la, people wanting to get next to you, just to say they did. i get wanting to experience people but they way they go about it is odd. friends and potential lovers especially.” she agreed, listening further to hear her answer to her question, snickering lowly. “oh, okay so regular freaky annoying stuff they be on in this city, especially when it comes to lesbian relationships. got it. i just know you was irritated.” she shook her head at the thought of it, silently laughing as she watched the girls speak. “two shots and y’all hot and loosening up? oh y’all easyyy. now i gotta’ play catch up.” she lightheartedly rolled her eyes, finishing the drink in her cup completely. “only one, honey. who knows, you might not even need it.” she remarked. listening to tiara’s question, she twisted her lips to the side but hearing the answer had her brows raising. “oop!” she started, before bursting into a fit of chuckles. “bentleyyyy.” she sang, then scratched her head. “whew, okay lay it out then. was all up in your comments and was tagging you in top fives, which is crazy since she was the culprit this whole time. i would’ve never guessed. being messy behind the scenes, but tryna’ be girlies on the tl?” she grimaced, shaking her head, giving the camera a look. “this city makes you not even want new friends, i swear. i’ll go, but chantal, you better have some heat on the way if you stalling.” she lightly cut her eyes at her, before redirecting her attention to ryder. “why did you and your ex decide to end things? i don’t think either of you have ever answered, and the streets wanna know.”

tiara: "i just don't know why a man would ever think they deserve two fine women? just freaked out and think they are so desirable like, please! we can get more shots going if you want." tiara pressed her lips together as ryder answered the question her brows rose as she said a name. "whaaaa?!" she asked laughing she looked at yas as she repeated the name. "no! that's actually crazy and messy as shit. nah, i would've never guessed that." she said laughing. "that's real, cause now it makes situations more awkward than it needs to be. you really gotta watch your back." she said laughing she nudged yas. "no, more shots! cause this gagging me already, like yeah let's get into it chile." nodding her head she looked at ryder. "no shade, cause this a safe space so nobody needs to attack our guest. we're just giving the people what they need." she said while shrugging. "i mean, maybe she thinks she's fine and top five but you know being messy is fun so she just doing shit." she said chuckling, nodding her head at the question she raised her brows before laughing. "i'm sorry, but the streets and it's just my home girl in everybody business."

ryder: ryder couldn’t help but laugh at the other’s initial reactions to the news. “yep. same shit i said like what? and i was literally in her inbox ready to check her but i had to remind myself that i was completely over the situation. plus, it just took the heat off of my ex and i wasn’t about to direct my anger towards nobody else but her because you played the fuck out. so yeah, bentley if you wanna get into that tea, we can.” she raised her hands along with her shoulders. “whoopty do.” she mimicked young thug as she laughed it off, growing quiet yet again to listen in on the next question from yasmin. ryder sighed as she took a moment to think on a shorter version of the situation to share. “i really can’t say because she was the one who walked away from the relationship. all i know is we weren’t fake happy, at least i wasn’t like how i felt was real but i feel like she tried to take advantage of that by being hot and cold towards me. straddling the fence foreal and was looking stupid when i let her be where she thought it was greener at. she honestly would just say shit she claim she didn’t mean just because she wasn’t feeling her best. now, i wasn’t perfect, i spazzed but the first argument we got into i was so patient even while the disrespect went on. i just wasn’t going the second time she wanted to just walk away from the relationship. what really did it is my ex literally avoided me and kept herself at the club or with quote on quote friends. she would leave my sap ass on seen for days and when she finally decided to be a girlfriend, she was hungover and just entitled for the attention i was trying to give to her when she was away. she had popped at my place with her sorry ass and started spazzing because i was ignoring her when the real reason was deeper than that. she came out of nowhere saying she was done, broke my shit and left. grew some balls and hit me a week later or something like that on some wanna be cool shit and i basically told her to kick fucking rocks.” she laughed. “in the end, she was sneaky and really tried to play the victim even after all the shady shit she brought to the timeline for people to piece together and run on anon, thinking they clocking shit.” ryder looked to the camera. “so, yeah! it was neverrrr about no nigga. everrr. at least not on my end, so bury that narrative today! asap!”

chantal: as yasmin spoke, chantal tapped her two fingers together and nodded. “nothing but facts, it’s sad.” she said, laughing at the look on everyone’s faces and their response she shook her head once again. zipping her lips she held her empty cup. “i can do another shot then i’m done.” she shrugged before rolling her eyes at yasmin’s comment to her skipping. waiting for her to finish she looked at ryder. her eyes focused as she answered. thinking of a question as she came to the end of her answer. “it’s sad how someone withdraws themselves then gets mad when you return the energy. like not just relationships, friendships too.” she said rolling her eyes before she passed her cup to tiara to pour another shot in. “buttt speaking on it wasn’t about a man. what do you think about that whole best friend thing? causeeee, i can’t lie. i don’t know if i’m buying it. especially with timing, but that’s just me and not my business.” she snickered before shrugging. sitting back in her chair she turned to fix her shirt once again before she rolled over to get a water bottle that was nearby.

yasmin: her eyes connected with tiara’s as she chuckled heartily. “no, like i’m gagginggg.” she continued, nodding after chantal. “yeah, let me get another one, too ‘cause i see ryder putting it on the floor today!” she said, moving her curls out of her face. “being messy is fun, but don’t force it, and make sure you can handle the heat. that’s all i’m saying.” she said then nodded after ryder spoke. “that’s so real. like you be wanting to spazz out about a situation and then you remember you don’t even care. so real, but so annoying. i don’t know though, bentley came in with the rah rah, so. we’ll see if she’s really on that.” she looked between the girls, before twisting her lips to the side. “uhmm, the streets sent me! this is investigative girl journalism. please.” she held her hand up to tiara as she joked, then listened to ryder’s answer. crossing her legs, her brows occasionally raising, taken aback by some things. she spoke up after chantal, nodding slowly. “i’ma be honest, it sounded very veryyy toxic. we’ve all been there. i damn near see a weight being lifted off your chest, now that you’ve gotten that off, girl. i’m glad you finally got the chance to say your piece, ‘cause like you said, her posts did have anons piecing things together which made it worse. it sounds like you tried your best to push through, though. no matter how much you love and care about someone and wanna make it work, if you the only one trying, it never will.” she slowly shook her head, extending her cup out to tiara for a shot as well. “you know what, i kinda do buy the best friend thing. i think it’s just poor timing, no shadeee.” she threw her hand up, waiting for ryder’s answer.

tiara: nodding her head she completely understood where she was coming from. "i really get that, you were over the shit and didn't wanna give it energy." she said nodding, rubbing her gloss in she raised her brows. "i hate when someone is hot and cold, it's mad confusing. i think people do really try and take advantage of someone that's all in," tiara agreed. "i'm sorry you had to go through that but at least you're free." she said while smiling she raised her brows clapping her hands once she addressed the rumors. "no shade, they were tryna act like she left you for a nigga or they were hunching." tiara said. after chantal asked her question she pointed towards her, snapping her head to yasmin she raised her brows. "i mean, the timing is awful but also, ain't no way i'm having trouble with my relationship and you're with a 'best friend'.." she trailed off shaking her head. "i don't know though, i'm just an outsider but it did look a little crazy but i just minded my business." she said throwing her hands up. "since your last relationship was sooo toxic and we know you left that behind you. who are you dating now? your february dump was super stacked, we gonna need that." she said while smiling, pouring a shot for the girls she poured herself one also.

ryder: “exactly!” she agreed with chantal. “i just got tired of trying to understand nonsense and because of that, it ruined the relationship. i wasn’t as sweet or whatever it is she wanted me to be for her but like what about me and my needs? there’s only so much a person can take and put up with. so, my advice always is to put yourself first and reciprocity is everything! don’t even think about settling because you love a person, went through the ringer with said person for months, years! who cares. move on!” taking in the next question from chantal along with the additional commentary that followed after from both pair of ladies, she laughed. “look, the only reason why i suspected anything because before it was told to me that she didn’t have any friends in la or anybody she was close like that with then all of a sudden this person is your best friend that you could talk to but made the excuse that she couldn’t talk to me when i was a friend to her. a good one at that! according to her, so it wasn’t adding up for me. her and i spoke on it, she was being petty not confirming or denying to try to get a reaction from me but i tweaked when the anons were making all the sense for me. i was like wait, we just had this intimate ass moment not too long ago then you disappear and then come back to just find a reason to break up with me?” her brows furrowed as she chuckled. “that felt like the missing piece. it wasn’t until the shit backfired for people to open their mouths and say oh, it wasn’t like that. that’s just my friend but not too long ago, it was reported that they were quote on quote cozied up with one another. since then have you heard a peep from anybody? but when it was me hitting the nail on the head, everybody wanted to speak up against me.” ryder kissed her teeth as she gave her eyes a slight roll. tiara’s second question of the night caused her eyes to grow wide before she pushed the tip of her tongue along her top lip. “ha!” she laughed a bit. “see, you said you was minding your business, tiara!” she said in a playful manner. “ummmm skip. y’all ain’t ready for that answer but again, self love is the best love! i said that, didn’t i?” she asked around the room before her eyes fell to her lap.

chantal: “being messy is not fun. because once you’re in the mess, you literally have to fight your way out.” chantal said laughing at it she playfully rolled her eyes. “and this is why…yasmin is clearly the messiest.” she said leaning into her mic making sure her voice was clearly heard. sitting back she licked over her lips and laughed. sipping from her water bottle her eyes rolling as yasmin protested. “no because, flip the roles a little. imagine you and your man on the rocks and a best friend come from thin air and, and, and people piecing shit together. i’m just saying.” she shrugged thinking on it before she listened to ryder’s answer. nodding her head she chuckled before she heard tiara’s question, clearing her throat she let out a soft giggle before raising her brow waiting to hear ryder’s answer when she didn’t, she immediately put a thumbs down. “boooo, she used the skip y’all.” she teased, chuckling softly she glanced at ryder. “one day she gonna pop out. with her self or whateverrrr.” she said with a smirk, twisting her lips she tapped her fingers against the mic. “okay i’ma go ahead and make this simple. what’s something, or someone who annoys you on the timeline you see? any habits people have or just a particular person. i know we all have things that we see that make us go ugh.”

yasmin: “we are not having that convo this episode, miss messy!” she playfully elbowed chantal. yasmin nodded in agreement with the advice given. “truly. once you notice that pattern, it’s time to have a conversation or run. putting your feelings on the backburner for someone else leads to permanent resentment.” she added, twisting her lips to the side after chantal and tiara countered. “okay, well when y’all put it like that…” she lightly scratched the back of her neck, shrugging somewhat as she looked off. “i tried to see it for her, but it does sound funny.” she pressed her lips together. yasmin gave ryder the space to answer full out, chewing on her inner cheek. “this is sounding real manipulative, i can’t even front. i know you was going crazy for those last few months. i haaaate when people look for any reason to dump someone, just say you don’t wanna do this no more, don’t act like they did something wrong. whew, now i’m getting hot.” she fanned herself, shaking her head. “i haven’t heard a peep.” she mumbled into the microphone, answering. yasmin listened to tiara’s question, sipping from her cup as she waited to see if ryder would bite, but chuckled once she skipped. “damn it, ryder, don’t turn scary on us now!” she playfully smacked her lips, sideeyeing chantal’s commentary and then her question. “that’s a good one. adding onto that, mine would be who in the city is on your blocklist? and if no one, who would you put on it? and you can’t say bentley or your ex.”

tiara: “facts, it’s hard to because sometimes that old life and relationship still knock on the doors. but i always believe what's meant for you will be meant for you.” she said holding up her cup as she took a sip. “mmm.” nodding her head she raised her brow looking over at yas. “see, that’s suspicious. i hate that opposite genders can't be friends but it just get a lil blurry when it's like they pop up and now you're hanging with a new person and our relationship has a dent.” she explained shaking her head she nodded looking at her. “you would not want your nigga coming back and saying he was out with his girl best friend, or not talking to you for days. ain't no way you tried to see it for her.” she shook her head, smacking her lips at ryder's reply. “let me pour you some more! you skipping my question? bye! see, i'm trying to get into the gist. i was minding my business that was my one not minding my business moment.” she said laughing, she reached over pouring a little more don into her cup. “right, like using the skip when we were just all getting hot n ready, but she can't skip anymore soooo.” she teased laughing softly, she leaned back more into the sofa, crossing her legs she raised her brows at the questions chantal and yas asked. “those are good ones. because i think we all feel uncomfy with some people around us.”

ryder: listening in to the other’s throwing in their commentary, she agreed with the nod of her head before she spoke back into the mic. “motherfuckas were really banking on my silence just so they could run with whatever narrative they were trying to push for the public but in private it was a totally different story. i’m just glad it’s over. i’m over it. it’s overrrrr.” ryder sang horribly before her jaw dropped in disbelief at chantal. “oh wowwww. okaaaaay.” she softly chuckled as she gave her head a slight nod. “remember that because if i get to asking questions, i’ll for sure get bleeped.” she smirked as she quickly flicked the other off, flashing an innocent smile for the camera soon after. “honestly, i don’t pay attention enough to be annoyed. usually, my algorithm has the people i interact with or just me and things from my beauty page.” she shrugged. “i don’t have anyone on my blocked list. not even my ex or bentley.” ryder chuckled as she shook her head. “chile, y’all so messy but uh, i did unfollow the best friend because get off my timeline. you really have to be the worst of the worst for me to block you but unfollowing? i’ma do that every time and we should normalize that. you don’t like me? you don’t have to like my shit, watch my shit, repost my shit, comment on my shit. none of that shit. just unfollow and go on about your day. it’s never that serious to me. it’s social media.” ryder swirled the liquor within the cup before she took back her third shot, slightly scrunching up her face as she reached over to open and take a drink of water.

chantal: chantal laughed as yasmin slightly switched her stance on the previous topic. “oh now you getting hot? wasn’t nobody hot before.” she rolled her eyes playfully before she took another sip of water. side eyeing yasmin back, chantal squinted at her trying not to laugh before she heard ryder’s comment. “wait, this not about meee, you’re the guest. and i’m glad you don’t get questions.” she said sticking her tongue out at her with a smirk before she licked over her lips. she listened to the question yasmin added to her own nodding her head she silently pointed at yasmin in approval of the addition. “good one, good one.” she mumbled softly as ryder went to answer. nodding in agreement she chuckled. “fair enough. i really don’t be caring to block people. i only blocked like two people ever so i get it. i feel like block list should be left for extreme purposes or depends on the situation.” she shrugged as she sat up from her seat. crossing her legs she bounced one leg as she looked around the room. “i’m not tryna dig no more, i got threatened by our guest already. talking about bleeping, so my two questions are out the wayyyy. and i won’t be asking any more.” she teased playfully throwing her hands up with a smile. “unless i can ask y’all, but we’ll save that for another episode.” she said pointing between the ladies before she bit on her bottom lip. chewing on it as she glanced at each one of them.

yasmin: “oh, girl, my nigga can’t have no girl best friend, he can’t even have girl cousins. i just thought the girls gave it up a lil’ differently, but…” she turned to the camera, grimacing before smacking her lips. “perhaps not.” she then turned to chantal, dramatically sighing. “y’all don’t live me liveee! well, it’s a good thing you’re here, so you can say your piece. i don’t play about that whole being silent while people play on your name thing.” she side-eyed tiara, chuckling at the back-and-forth. “girllll, so it’s nothing that bothers you? ‘cause i think each of us have a whole list that could fill up an episode of its own. but i guess!” she said, letting her be as she listened further. “it makes sense to unfollow him, but we wouldn’t blame you if you ever hit that block, boo.” she twisted her lips after chantal spoke. “i agree. i’m usually either blocking back or blocking if it’s an extreme situation. but i go unfollow/soft block crazyyy. people will really follow you and hate your guts but just wanna watch your face. like nah, boo, let me help you out. bye.” she waved her hand, taking a sip of her own cup. yasmin was about to speak up until chantal proposed asking the rest of them questions, immediately shaking her head. “another episode where y’all get put in the hot seat just so y’all can duck the smoke? mmm, we’re good.” she spoke to the camera, chuckling as she covered her mouth. “but shout out to ryder, she faced all her questions like a pro—even with her one skip.” she side-eyed her jokingly. “thank you so much again for agreeing to come on the show, speaking your piece, and for always showing love. if you made it this far, go follow her business page @theluckettelook. and let us know in the comments if you feel like ryder made some points. is she justified in how she feels or is she tweaking?” she pretended to ponder. “let us know! i also wanna thank the sexiest co-hosts alive. is there anything y’all wanna send the citizens off with before we close out? ‘cause we touched on a couple points this episode.”

tiara: “tell me about it. i hate a narrative, hating people make up to feel something, that’s why i always say the way people spin it be crazy.” she shook her head, rubbing in her gloss as she listened. “facts. i’m glad it’s over for you too. at least you overcame it.” smiling she listened as she answered the questions. “we don’t bleep anymore.” she winked. “oh, you’re really mature. i block like crazy, unfollowing wasn’t doing enough.” she pointed out, then waved off chantal. “girl, you been hot this whole time!” she said, nodding and agreeing with what she was saying, taking a sip of her liquor and clearing her throat. “can he have a mama?” she teased, looking over at yasmin and raising her brows. “nobody has ever played on my name. see how narratives get started, she wants me to show my ass every day.” rolling her eyes she shook her head. “i think every situation you get into, you think is extreme, no shade. that line be hitting you.” she joked, taking another sip. “don’t let this girl fool y’all. bleeped out names for five episodes but now she hot seat CEO. chiiii.” she side-eyed, shaking her head laughing. “no really! thank you so much for joining us. it was a pleasure having you on. you kept it real and spicy with us. gotta respect that. just wanna leave y’all with: stay real and don’t let people spin a narrative to their benefit.” she clapped her hands. “i think this was perfect for our first guest, you really set the tone for anyone else we have. next time, we’ll have personal bottles and a tell-all coming from yas of chantal. see ya!” she waved at the camera with a smile.

ryder: as chantal continued to taunt ryder, she playfully waved her off. “that’s okay. i have some questions of my own for you later.” she chuckled, bringing the opened bottle of water back up to her lips for another quick sip. “mmm! not the girl cousins.” she laughed at yasmin. “but i mean, shit do get like that. kevin gates was the first to openly admit it but i doubt that’ll even be the case for y’all. let that man be!” she smiled. “i’m glad i came too! i know it will just keep buzzing around the city since it ain’t nothing else for these people to talk about but it is what it is.” ryder shrugged, shaking her head at yasmin’s inquiry. “nope, literally nothing bothers me. i pay people no mind and i don’t cram my feet into shoes that don’t fit me. a person has to be direct with me. all that subbing gets overlooked.” she turned to tiara once she spoke up. “i’m mastering maturity like i have businesses. i’m focused on the next best thing for me and mine. all this extra shit outside of it doesn’t matter for me. it sure does bring in the traffic to my page as well as my business page but i don’t have to do this everyday for attention. i am the attention and everyone should feel like that but insecurity plays a big part in the ugly shit people do. i’m past that.” ryder ended off, puckering her lips playfully and blowing kisses toward the camera. “yessss! thank you to all who will tune into this episode of yapstars! i enjoyed my time, tipsy, hot and all but be on the lookout for what’s new with the luckette look and luckettelux! i thank all my clients and my team for the support. much love to you all. hating hoes and niggas included!” she gave one last wave goodbye.

chantal: “not the girl cousins. damn. he can’t even help his cousin take the groceries upstairs?” she joked, laughing softly. she nodded her head in agreement with ryder. “mhmm! i always say that. put a name on it, an @ on it or something. or else it’ll go unnoticed. people really beef with themselves.” she shrugged, then gave a side eye to yasmin. “girl… mind you, you duck the most smoke. coming up next episode is definitely the yapstars tell-all series. starting with yasmin, no skips. tune in y’all cause when I tell you I’m loading my cliiiiip? yeah.” she teased, laughing softly. “thank you to ms luckette fine ass for joining us today and sitting in the hot seat. umm, last words? y’all know i always gotta end it off with a little one two. so…” she paused, then held her hand up with her first finger. “stop imaginary beefing with people, stop tryna prove a point, and… stop being weird. that’s it.” she smiled, blowing a kiss to the camera as she waved.

yasmin: "he can.. me. that's one of his favorite things to call me." she replied to tiara, sticking her tongue out and biting down on it before giggling. "no! y'all playing, whole time, i'm about to swab his dna and run it through ancestry.com. we'll see who's really a cousin." she told the camera, her head tilting. she waved tiara's response off. "no new narratives, we all want tiara to show ass everyday." she voiced, adding a wink and a grin. she chuckled between the girls, holding her hands up. "i don't duck smoke! i airbend. please ignore them y'all, they're drunk. get off that don julio." she recited the lyric, continuing to laugh until ryder spoke. "why would people be direct in this city when they could just simply answer five anons about it and pretend to be unbothered? c'mon now, ryder." she said, sarcastically and jokingly, patting her own forehead. "well, after you master it, send me your notes 'cause i'm still relapsing with mine. but i love that, keep popping your shit, boo. love a pretty girl who stays in her lane and owns it. and knows it." she pointed out to her, waiting for the girls to finish up before speaking up. "points were made! i think i'll leave y'all with— messy's cute and fun, only if you do it right. done wrong? it becomes sloppy. don't be sloppy! oooh, potential next episode topic— how to get away with messy? y'all with me?" she joked, eyeing the camera before chuckling it off and blowing a kiss. "stay sexy, everyone. i'm yasmin ali, and thank you for listening!

a loud BLEEP is heard before the recording cuts to the start of the podcast.

chantal: “the girls are fightingggg. they both acting like they didn’t pop out. i’m just saying.” chantal grabbed her mic and whispered into it before she smirked. “what we getting into first? i’m honestly ready at this point. i think i’m the one with the least tea. ms activated one and two.” she said pointing at yas and tiara. “if y’all aren’t following our socials you might want to. the girls be getting active.”

yasmin: “that is hella crazy though, last time we were all together, one was talking marriage, one was hiding a man, and one was single. them tablesss!” she chuckled as she pointed out. she raised a brow at chantal’s words, looking up at the camera and shaking her head. “y’all, please! my account was hacked. whatever you seen on your news feed was literally ai and bots and photoshop.” she clarified, swiftly dismissing before taking a breath. “hey guys! welcome back to the number one podcasts for sexy girls that like to run their mouths. if you’re tuning in, i’m assuming you fit the bill. i’m yasmin ali, president of the sexy bitches, and your host. i’m so glad to welcome back thee sexiest co-hosts aliveeee!” she dragged out, clapping her hands together. “so! it’s so much to get into. today, we’ll be talking about— girlhood! and the not so pretty side of it. i know we’re all for women empowerment, and positivity but we all know that real girlhood comes with facing those other sides— the mess, the drama, the flings, the exes, the fallouts. so for today’s episode, i’d say we’re just keeping it real. as the realest bitch does.” she prefaced, turning her attention to the girls. “mini ice breaker before we get into the gist— what would you say is your biggest messy habit? something you tend to do in the heat of things or when you notice smoke?”

tiara: “man, i’m not giving yall too much on that.” rolling her eyes, she pulled the puppy up to her chest, rubbing his ears as she smiled. “are you the one with the least tea? cause why we on a block list?” she asked, raising her brows. she shook her head before throwing her hand up. “anyways..” laughing softly, she turned to the camera, adjusting her mic as they started rolling. “hi guys! i’m so happy to be back, i feel like we had a long long break. i know yall missed me after the last episode like, where was fine ti?” she asked, shaking her head. “don’t worry, i’m always here with my nephew and my other nephew is being held hostage, but!” she chuckled. “i’m ready to get into today’s episode and see some thoughts on how we handle certain situations.” she started. tiara shrugged her shoulders at the question. “honestly! i don’t think i really have a messy habit besides commenting on things, which i think is common. you know? if it has something to do with somebody i know i’ll make a comment cause it’s like damn, what happened?” she asked, laughing. “but, in the heat of the moment i really tend to go on a rampage about stuff. cause no shade, i don’t say much like ever. but i really gotta ask people who are they talking to? can’t be me.”

chantal: “oh? oh.” chantal laughed and pressed her lips together after tiara’s question. “see, we not talking about that…that’s not tea.” she said rolling her eyes playfully before turning to the camera as yasmin started the podcast. smiling and finger waving, she went to speak. “heyyy y’all. we’re back we’re back we’re back.” she said before she listened to the question presented from yasmin. thinking on it, she shrugged. “i don’t really have messy habits besides..yeah. making side comments and laughing when someone is into it. contrary to yasmin’s beliefs i’m not really a messy person. i don’t get really messy because i tend to take everything to hell. like to hell, so i stay in my corner and laugh a little because once someone comes for me or thinks they can..? i take it there.” she admitted with a shrug of her shoulders. “i don’t know though, like compared to some real messy shit i’ve seen i honestly think on a scale from 1-10? i’m like a 3 for real….”

yasmin: once tiara referenced it, yasmin’s eyes lit up. “naaaah, we keeping that in for sure! little miss no tea but somehow we’re blocked by association is crazy. we still keeping it cute orrrr?” she pretended to think about it, twisting her lips to the side. she waited for the girls to introduce themselves as well as answer the prompted question. “whaaat? c’mon, these answers is lame, forreal ’cause tiara don’t even be commenting on nothing. for you, i’d say, you know how to get people’s tea. and chantal, you know you’re messy. you the one who complies the files on people, she really is the messiest one, i swear.” she called them out before turning to answer. “mine is that i’m the queen of strays. if we’re into it? i’ma walk you and the whole friend group down, and i’m doing it by myself, i don’t mind.” she chuckled. “just ’cause i wanna make the line clear. i could be cordial, but in the heat of the moment, anybody could get it. sorryyyy.” she shrugged carelessly. “but i wanna focus on some points that were just made. i feel like because we really try to keep it cute, ignore certain things and don’t say as much off rip so people feel like they could try us or that we’re easy targets. like with chantal, it takes her a minute to pop like toooo long, but when she does, she takes it to hell, like genuinely. with tiara, it might not take as long, but she’s gonna come. cute, but then lethal one-liners when it’s time. and my fuse is the shortest, but i’m coming crazy from the jump. which is why we do ignore a lot of things, at first. but don’t make it seem like we’re bullies when that rico charge finally catches up to your ass.”

tiara: “no, it actually is tea. but i don’t care, i actually block back.” she said while shrugging her shoulders as she listened, she laughed. “nah, i believe it. chantal always like she's not messy but it's the ones who swear they aren't messy are the messiest ones.” tiara said nodding her head. “nah, that's actually true. i really don't say anything cause what is it worth?” she asked, raising her brows. once the pizza arrived, she sat the puppy down beside her. “nah, i feel that but i don't do strays like i can't just shade unprovoked, someone has to do something to me.” she said while laughing. “i'm really cordial with everyone, like if i'm beefing with your friend i probably won't even care if you're in it but somehow, people beef with one of us?!” she said pointing between them. “it's always fuck us all, like damn! how we get in it?” tiara rolled her eyes. “chantal is too nice, i be wanting her to rock anybody head off their shoulders. so bad!! i hate when yas go on coke rants, i honestly try and save yall. i tell her, nah just chill don't say anything. but sometimes my home girl gets provoked. one sec.” laughing, she stood up leaving the scene. she came back with the pizza as the engineers gave the girls their order, she sat it down beside them. “we have our food here and we feel good, we're back live.” she opened the box taking a slice of pizza out. “oh! of course not. i've never been a bully, like it never gave that, i don't even dislike anyone honestly. i feel like a lot of people think because you aren't cool or because you don't want to talk to them that it's beef. it's never been beef, but i'm always gonna match energy, so if you trying to do a thing to me? ima do one right back.”

chantal: “man. why we talking about that? y’all know why y’all blocked. i know why y’all blocked. i got blocked too, but then unblocked.” she said rolling her eyes as she waved off the topic before she smacked her lips. “stop saying i’m messy, cause i’m really not. i sit and observe but how many times do i actually use what i know? think about it and let me know.” she said, pressing her index finger to her temple, tapping it in a thinking motion. she chuckled and watched as tiara disappeared and came back. “yasmin swear everybody and they mama be in on it. that’s the problem. me too though, that’s why i don’t do no coke rant. cause now? i’m tagging the person who told you let’s be friends once, even if y’all never talked again.” she shrugged her shoulders, opening up the food as it was placed. “i don’t think i’m too nice. i just know what i’m capable of and i hate letting someone get me there. too nice was when i was just making friends with everybody, trying to be nice to everybody whole time they was hating me behind a…yeah. y’all know.” she said shaking her head at the thought. “it be too much for me to actually care.”

yasmin: “see, i don’t know why i’m blocked but again, don’t mind. was blocked, then unblocked but guys, once you cross that line— you cannot come back. not on this side.” she made sure to point out, wagging her finger at the camera. “she swear she’s not, but remember, i speak real. i would know messy when i see it! just saying.” she explained, teasing her a bit as she threw her hand up then immediately piped up after tiara spoke. “i can. and i’m so glad they be getting all of us when they come for one of us. like y’all be too pressed to be cordial. if a girl don’t like me, guess who she talking about me to? her homegirls, and they probably gassed her and agreed with her too. same thing that be going on over here, so why would i care to be cool?” she reasoned, before shaking her head, turning to chantal once tiara left then chuckled. “exactly, and as you should, ’cause they do! people are not slick or low.” she agreed, smacked her lips at the thought. “honestly chantal, you just give out too much grace but i sometimes get it, ’cause y’all… her crashout? now that’s scary. ’cause it’s like a pretty girl turns into lil’ devil with a scary laugh. and it don’t turn off once you take her there.” she commented in between before listening further. “it’s okay, honey. it happens to the best of them. i’m team let the demon out but hey.” she looked at the camera, with a shrug, reaching over to take a slice from the box.

tiara: “i don't know why i'm blocked. i never even talked— ima vibe. anyways, i bet you are unblocked.” she said, squinting her eyes. she bit into her slice of pizza, licking her lips as she chuckled. “the people who observe are honestly the messiest ones!” she said laughing. “nah, i be tagging anyone. loud and wrong, but ima make sure that everybody know it's always gonna come from my page, my mouth. no anon needed, nobody even put fear in my heart or got any thing for me to be afraid of.” she pointed out, buying into her pizza again. “i mean i think the cordial part is, if i don't like your home girl i'm not beefing with you too. but i see how it could be both ways, cause whole time i'm not tryna beef with you and you put the battery in your friends back.” she said, rolling her eyes. “i think she should let the demon out too, cause if not people will continue to play with you. once you show them one time, they really know better and won't do it anymore. that's the whole thing about it.”

chantal: “okayyyy, moving on!! i’m not feeding energy into that.” she said, making another effort to end the conversation about the trio being blocked. she then nodded in agreement. “i get that. especially when it’s blatantly obvious your home girl don’t like me, you know she don’t like me but somehow you think we can still be cool..? hm. now you got me thinking.” she said thinking about it, taking a piece of the garlic knots she got, she bit into one and chewed. “okay, next time somebody try me..i’ll let her out of her little cage. but i want all the viewers…y’all and whoever wanna try it to remember this moment.” she said, pressing her finger into the table in front of her. “cause i really hate giving that energy. i do not do it anymore.” she said shrugging. “what’s something y’all are gonna stop giving energy to? cause actually! i have a list.”

yasmin: “girl, yes you have. you remember when—.” her words were cut off as well by both the girls, grimacing playfully before letting out a chuckle, then taking a bite out of her pizza. she then chuckled heartily at tiara. “girllll, tiara went and tagged the wrong girl, like i’m not gonna lie— now that might’ve been bullying. ’cause…” she shook her head as she thought about it. “exactly. unless she a lone wolf, them girls in her corner egging her on to play with you. but you worried about being cordial. no thank you, i’ll smack everyone first. then y’all could discuss amongst y’allselves and pass it to who it belongs to.” she took another bite from her pizza, covering her mouth and speaking up right after chantal. “chantal, you getting real warm, babe. you’re almost there. think about it. also— chantal and tiara are not y’all friends!” she double down, batting her lashes. her eyes lit up at chantal’s statement. “thank youuuuu! let me go tickle the opps, get up. i need her out the cage tonight!” she joked, chuckling as she took another bite. “for me, i feel like i already don’t give a lot of things energy. everything i gave energy brought me to that point, and deserved it so. i’ll continue being cute and sexy with a side of spice.” she winked at the camera.

tiara: “nah, now i see it a little bit. but it's like i would hope if we're cool you wouldn't let anybody talk shit, but who knows?” she asked, shrugging her shoulders as she cut her eyes over at yas. “anyways, chile. we gonna see. i feel like being calm doesn't work it just takes one time, but also the way life been lately. i can't even give everyone the attention.” she admitted, shrugging. “i'm going to stop giving my energy to things that don't matter, it's so much that literally doesn't matter. like who cares what people are saying? i only react when i think people are playing on my top.” she said while looking towards the camera, she laughed. “what are some tips to that though? like being confrontational vs not confrontational, how do you know when it deserves it? how many strikes?”

chantal: “nooo way y’all tryna out me as messiest cause i don’t do coke and go on x tagging everybody who even breathed funny.” she said laughing at the thought. “i can see where yas coming from. she’s making sense…the world might be ending y’all.” she said playfully as she ate another piece. “i only have like three friends…maybe four…mind you..y’all two of them. i don’t talk to anyone anymore. so that psa didn’t go out to anyone on my end. i can promise you that. i don’t know if ti still has her friends.” she said with a soft smirk. “being calm works when you really realize how people are beneath you. like that’s what keeps me so level headed.” she nodded before thinking about it. “tips? i don’t know if i necessarily have any tips. like for me it’s a boldness meter i guess? i don’t argue with anybody who can’t show they face. or someone who can’t be direct. i think that’s why y’all think i’m so nice. the person already scary..what i look like getting all riled up for when i know they obviously aren’t about anything. cause one thing about. somebody can tweet ‘girls from houston who think they can bake ain’t shit.’ but guess what? as soon as i reply and address it, what they gonna say? it was a general statement. that’s lil miss scary, or mister scary favorite line.”

yasmin: “hey! what’s wrong with a lil’ coke?” she playfully scrunched up her nose, then smacked her lips. “i always make sense! sooner or later but always!” yasmin casually flipped her hair over her shoulders, finishing up the slice in her hand. she chuckled at chantal’s responses. “tiara gone learn, don’t worry. and i’ma have the nastiest i told you so locked and loaded. but i love the changed woman you are, chantal. ’cause you know you good for befriending anybody, honey.” she hinted, giving the camera a look. “becauseee, the fact that you even have the balls to shade me, purposely? now if it’s indirect, that’s where you give grace. ’cause maybe they don’t know. but how i know when to go off is when i feel like you really think i’m pussy. i’d argue with a dog if it thought i was pussy. i’m sorry. if people genuinely knew the reaction they were gonna get from me before playing with me, they would not do it in the first place. and i hate that. why do i have to get out of body for you to understand that i’m not the one to try?” she explained. “it goes back to what tiara said as well, ’cause a lot of people in this city feel like if you guys stop talking, it’s beef. and then they move like it’s beef. so you start to extend grace ’cause it’s like, you’re moving like it’s beef and it’s not, but go off. have your lil’ moment. until they keep poking and provoking ’cause they think you not gone do anything.” she reasoned before shifting her attention to tiara. “speaking of, i do feel like tiara’s being a lil’ poked right now. knowing you, you dusting it off but let’s hear it from your mouth. what do you have to say about the whole situation that shall not be named?.. but if you act confused, i’ma scream it, so.”

a loud BLEEP is heard before the recording cuts to a different scene with just yasmin.

yasmin: seated on the couch, yasmin smiled at the camera before reciting her line. “yapstars is sponsored by g-shock, because time flies while we’re talking. duh!” she shrugged, carelessly.the camera cuts to another take, and she pauses before trying again. “yapstars is now sponsored by g-shock. because time flies when the girls get to chatting. never miss a second.” she said, with a dramatic hair flip, posing and then looking off camera. “how was that—?” the camera cuts to another take of yasmin, lightly laughing before saying her line. “yapstars is sponsored by g-shock! because girl talk runs non-stop. and now your watch can, too!” her tone was sarcastic, and she held up the brown g-shock on her wrist, lightly kissing it.

a loud BLEEP is heard before the recording cuts to back to the podcast.

tiara: “man a tag never hurt anybody, that's all ima say.” she said throwing her hands up. “no, the world is literally coming to an end. i believe she's the only person who comes up with scenarios in her head and tries to convince everyone.” she said while laughing softly. “let's emphasis on the anymore. i always felt like both of you were overly friendly, we've touched on the subject a little bit but i'll just let yall rock. i'm not really the girl who chats with just anybody so if i do, i really treasure my friends. keep it close to me,” she admitted, shrugging her shoulder as she shook her head. “i mean, i agree. you gotta know your place and what you're capable of for sure.” she said while crossing her legs. “wait, i will say some things really do be general.” she said throwing her hands up while looking at the camera. “cause sometimes you really don't know what anybody has going on.” tiara laughed. “imagine saying ima have the nastiest i told you when you've been in the situation.” she said squinting her eyes. “i honestly don't feel like i'm being poked right now. i think there was a time last month where it seemed like people had misinformation. cause it's not even tea. shit is piss with ice.” she said looking between them. “im honestly one of the realest women out here, no shade. if i was bothered by anything it would've been addressed. like i said earlier, just because someone doesn't wanna kick it with you anymore, that does not equal bad blood. the narratives are lame, the stories are even lamer. i think if anyone has any questions they can literally come to me and hear the real spill. no shade.” she said while looking at the girls, she chuckled. “what about yall? do yall feel poked at or think a poking is coming?”

chantal: “noooo, honestly i think it’s giving too scared to lose a friend.” she commented after the i told you so was brought up, shrugging her shoulders as she stopped to think. “i wasn’t befriending anybody. a lot of them couldn’t tell you what i did for my birthday. it was more so, i was giving chances and it was veryyy weird. i just stepped away from the weird energy.” she shrugged her shoulders, then playfully rolled her eyes. “no, you know what i mean ti. it’s copping a plea. like every time i post it’s a comment, something goes on in my life it’s a post but if i was to address it all of a sudden it’s general? we’ve seen it happen before. not even with just me, everybody.” she explained, adjusting the g-shock on her wrist, tapping the watch face. “clock it.” she said before laughing. “i wasn’t tryna poke. i know exactly what you’re talking about but nah. that situation is a little weird, but i don’t think that’s even a thing.. ti, what do you do for something like that? did you distance yourself?” she questioned, turning to tiara before she ate another piece of her food. covering her mouth, she shook her head. “no, not at all. well actually. y’all keep tryna poke the bear inside of me and she tryna hibernate but that’s about it.”

yasmin: “meee? i be making stuff up?” her jaw dropped in playful disbelief at tiara’s words before she shook her head, then waved her off. “i’ve never been overly friendly, i’ve been cool.” she clarified before speaking up right after chantal. “exactly, real afraid to lose a friend. but she gon’ learn. if we look at my track record.. yasmin clocks everything early.” she pointed out. “but we all pointing the finger at each other like i’m not friendly, you friendly— like damn, so who’s actually the friendly one?” she chuckled. “both of y’all make points, ‘cause some things do be in general but you know when something’s for you. no matter how broad a girl tries to make it. we have seen it happen before.” she alluded, shaking her head as she reached for her diet coke to sip on. “y’all, tiara swears she clocked some shit before me! whole time we clocked it the same time. i can’t with this girl.” she sighed, then snickered at chantal, listening in on both of their responses, nodding slowly. “hmm. that’s a real issue in this city. because you keep it cute, people get to run with a narrative about you or a situation you were in. we say lame a lot but y’all don’t understand how lame shit really be. especially as a man, but that’s not my situation to speak on.” yasmin crossed her legs, sipping her drink. “after the last rico i handed out, i think i wont be poked for a good minute. before we get to the bear hibernating on that couch, i just wanna address one more thingy-thing.” she giggled before speaking frankly. “i think we all saw that insta-post, girly. you finally finished hiding that man or what?”

tiara: “giving chances? crazy. we don't need allat.” she said while shaking her head, leaning back in her chair as she looked at them and laughed. “nah, you're right cause honestly everyone not as bold. they don't wanna be in drama or cause drama, but honestly stop bothering people that's the easiest and quickest way to shut it down. it's a lot of people who think they can get away with slick comments, you know?” she asked while looking at them. “like in a situation like that? yeah, i'll distance myself but it's also like everything doesn't need a conversation or closure, you know? i honestly don't even wanna have the closure conversation, i just wanna move on, then you move on and everyone is moved on and happy. because keeping that space open for a conversation, it's just not worth it. i don't believe in doing that but everybody's different.” she explained. “but i mean i don't really care how i'm perceived unless someone is out there telling lies about me, who cares? i don't think i'm that important for people to whisper bout me. that's why i'm thrown. i really just do me.” she said shrugging her shoulders before she looked at yas and rolled her eyes. “did i not post a insta post last year too? i was never hiding a man. i'm too grown for that. i just think we both are on the same page with being private with certain things. and it's not even on purpose it just comes naturally.”

chantal: “why giving chances, crazy? giving chances just means i was giving chances for people to know me.” she shrugged and sat back, grabbing a water next to her and taking a few sips, nodding in agreement as both of the ladies spoke. “i admitted i was friendly, i used to talk to a lot of people. i just never made friends out of them.” her lips twisted and she shrugged, her brow raising as she looked at yasmin. “no i definitely see the lame, the corny all of it.” she said laughing before wiggling both brows. “oooo yeah we wanna know.” she said into the mic before listening to tiara. smacking her lips at her response, she shook her head. “no, cause we finally got an outright name. before it was a cute no face no case. being private is cute, it’s just…why you private when it comes to us?”

yasmin: “exactly. stop bothering people! even when you have a slick comment, if you cannot back it up— don’t make it. keep it in the groupchat. i’m begging y’all, at this point.” she agreed, taking another sip from her drink. she listened to tiara answer chantal’s question, nodding her head. “it doesn’t. but you can kinda tell based off the way both parties handle things, like who really cared more or who’s heart was really in it. but i do hope everyone is happy and finds peace. but move on, especially because it be lil slick st—.” she cut herself off, throwing a hand up, deciding to leave it alone. she eased back into her chair, listening to tiara’s answer. “you did.. but! you was def hiding him this second go ‘round. i’ll be like tiara, where you at? she like ‘out the city.’ with who? ‘a friend.’ girlllll, just say you back with that man!” she sighed, chuckling. “right, chantal like i get being private but damn.” she blew raspberries. “i do wanna pivot real quick, since we are on relationships.” clearing her throat, she turned to face chantal. “can you just confirm your relationship status for our listeners, real quick? i don’t know if you announced it publicly yet, yourself, or if you were drowned out by the twenty songs.”

tiara: “i mean, i guess.” she said shrugging her shoulders, smiling softly. “i guess, i'll accept that.” tiara pressed her lips together. “if this is hot seat, i'm the only one that's been in the seat?” she asked looking at them. “i'm not private when it comes to yall. it's just everyone. i don't want anybody in my business. the same way yas was yelling she's single on twitter and on the pod, or you just being ducked off with your man. i mean, i was doing me the best way possible.” she said while looking at chantal, shrugging. “first off, cause why yall asking where i'm at? yall wanna know if i'm wearing panties or not?” she asked before laughing softly. “i literally wasn't hiding anything. y'all know better than that. it wasn't a secret since yall knew so much, it was called minding my business.” she leaned forward looking at chantal, raising her eyebrow. “yeah, what's good bout that? i mean, might as well take this time to say whatever.”

chantal: “keep it in the group chat…says the ones who want our group chat leaked.” she rubbed her temples blowing a soft raspberry as she listened to yasmin. laughing as she cut herself off she watched the two of them interact before nodding her head. “yes actually! if that means you’ll let me know where you are? yes! what kinda panties you got on?” she said with a laugh, her laugh got caught short when she heard yasmin’s start of a segway into her next question. sighing she rolled her eyes. holding onto the desk as she swung her chair back and forth. “man, why do i have to confirm when…” she stopped and laughed softly. “i am single. single, single. no longer in a relationship, single.” she said as she slapped her hands together as if she was dusting them off. “as if that wasn’t already confirmed on the timeline. apparently, i’ma throw away or whatever. so yeah. chantal is single. word to future.”

yasmin: “and do. and just might leak it myself one of these days. hope y’all ready to stand on business.” she said, casually, setting the coke down. “this is not hot seat, my hot seat is flaming, honey. i would’ve said names, and been a lot more.. messier. but if y’all want a hot seat from us— let us know!” she said to the camera. “that’s different. i was actually single, and not hiding a man in another country. but i respect it. i just ain’t like having to pull it outta you.” she shook her head, then smacked her lips, waving her off. “girl, you know good and well you was not wearing any panties.” she gave the camera a look, snickering lowly. yasmin waited patiently for chantal to answer, grinning once it was revealed and she was finished. “now that it’s confirmed..” she slowly clapped, pretending to wipe her fake tears of joy. “y’all don’t know what this means to me.” she said, followed by a chuckle. “i’m so happy for you! and last time i checked you did the throwing away— oop. anyways.” she batted her lashes. “i won’t say all the things that i want to, or speak on that relationship because i live in my lane. but i do wanna ask, how do you feel about the way things were handled towards the end? any final thoughts on the relationship before the topic officially gets laid to rest? aaaand, are you open to/dating right now?” she asked, giving her the floor.

tiara: "i mean, that's different when real spill is being talked about. cool. but my business? nah wrap it up." she laughed pointing at them. "of course you wanna know bout my panties! please," cutting her eyes at yas she waved her off. "i was never hiding a man. it was just my business, maybe if you asked nicely i would've said. but, it never gave hide, secret, none of that. just private, that's how we like it. you see what they've done to the others." she said rolling her eyes, sitting forward some she picked the puppy up holding him again as chantal spoke. "i have no comment on it. i think everyone do what's best for them, you know?" she asked bouncing her leg. pressing her lips together she raised her brows. "yeah, are you open to dating? i know getting out of relationships it's kinda hard and you do dwell on the past a little bit."

chantal “the real me? out in the open..i don’t know. i’m good on standing on business. that doesn’t matter.” she said laughing. looking at the camera she shook her head mouthing the word ‘no’ repeatedly at the idea of an actual hot seat. “but i’m the messy one?! names?!” she said before she looked between the both of them. “the real tea is, yasmin wasn’t hiding a man she was hiding from him. ti wasn’t hiding a man she just wanted to act like we’re dumb and didn’t know she was seeing someone. all in all? they need to just be honest when it comes to us at least? like they can play for the internet but not when it comes to us.” she shrugged her shoulders and chuckled at yasmin’s antics. rolling her eyes she shook her head. “mind you…never mind.” she said clearing her throat. she chewed on her bottom lip twisting her mouth yet again as she thought. “it’s hot in here or it’s just me?” she asked as she avoided the next set of questions. “uhh, i didn’t really process that. i was and still am going through my own things. so like the way it was handled didn’t really make any of that any better…it was hard? and annoying to say the least?” her words were slow as she thought while she was speaking. “i mean like i was blocked. i told y’all that, but i was told the internet found out officially before i even had a chance to blink. i was confused how you even guessed when i didn’t tell you yet.” she said referring to yasmin as she shook her head “like it kinda just annoyed me even more, cause the- it-“ she paused to chuckle as she thought about it. “everything not for the internet bro.” she said chuckling even more as she took a breath. the thoughts rushing as she talked about it “even from when it started on my end. the thoughts i had… like, social media doesn’t have to get every update. it gives performative, cause who are you doing it for? if there’s two people in a relationship…why.” she shook her head and reached over to drink water “listen. there’s a lot to say about that..we not gonna do all of that, i just don’t like how it was handled but whatever. that’s my final thoughts. uhhh, open to dating? i mean. yeah? i’m definitely taking my time to process the breakup and the situation itself. getting myself ready for when i do take that step. but yeah, i’m healing getting over it and moving on .”

yasmin: “i never said i wasn’t messy! just that i wasn’t alone.” clasping her hands together over her crossed legs, she shrugged. “maybe if you would’ve asked nicely..” she mocked tiara’s voice as she repeated the words before looking at the camera. “i see, girl. i think we’ve all witnessed the relationship scrutiny that goes on in this city so as you should.” she agreed, before her eyes widened at chantal’s claims. “i wasn’t hiding—. can we move on?! please! it’s always about a man with y’all, i’m sick of it.” playfully fed up, she dusted her hands as if she was done with the situation. she chuckled at chantal’s reaction. “it’s warm. lukewarm, so answer it before it heats up please.” she ushered, listening to her reply entirely, giving her the floor to answer. “very performative. and y’all know, if there’s one thing i hate…” she alluded, but didn’t finish her statement, shaking her head instead. “honestly, all tiara had to do was post thank the lord, and gospel music and i could sense what warranted that type of praise and worship. it’s unfortunate that your relationship, from beginning to end, was a social media update. but i think it was something you had to experience and learn so that, so you know what’s not for you going forward. guys, please drop some love and kind words for my wifey down below, as she processes this and heals from it. and glows, ‘cause look at her.” she smiled, her shoulders raising. “anything else you guys think we need to address before we lay this segment of our lives to rest?”

tiara: "i mean being good at standing on business is so real. people think my standing is a joke until they're on the other side, like yes this is what i actually do." she said while laughing softly, waving off yasmin she rolled her eyes. "i mean, let's go with that cause yall knew, and that's all yall needed." she said while laughing she lifted the puppy up showing him to the camera. "your mama getting hot." listening she nodded her head, she agreed with her points. "nah, i agree once it goes on social media it's done. i feel like that's bringing everyone in." she mumbled. she snapped to look at yas. "first off, that was a double entendre, cause i was talking bout something else but it also applied in that moment can't even lie." she admitted. "i don't have anything to address. i'm just going to continue to be me, out the way and minding my business. i think that's been foreign lately, just because we don't wanna kick it with you, it's no static, but if you want it to be. just let me and my homegirls know." she said chuckling. "people gonna perceive a situation how they want to but i just wanna clear up any bully allegations, whatever has been said, trust it's been building up in the back."

chantal: chantal laughed at tiara’s words to her pup. shaking her head she twisted her lips as she thought, chuckling she raised her brow. “tiara didn’t know either. well, i told her after so i don’t know. man..” she said laughing before she shook her head. “i have nothing else to really say. besides i’m the nicest one on this podcast and y’all need to leave me alone.” she said wagging her finger towards the camera. she went to grab up her pup, showing him off to the camera. “cause he don’t wanna see his momma crash out. but i think that’s it. thanks!” she said laughed before she rolled her eyes at the mention of bully allegations. “cyber bullying isn’t real. ima keep saying that. if you feel bullied? get off the net.”

yasmin: "when you really value and respect yourself, standing on business is second nature." she added on after tiara, clicking her teeth. she chuckled along, after tiara held the dog up. "i think scotti wanna be the fourth host, whole time. i think he likes the mess." she commented on chantal scooped up the pup. she subtly rolled her eyes at their final sentiments. "can y'all please.. like this don't help the bully allegations, whatsoever." she rubbed her temple, chuckling. "if you took anything away from this episode, i hope it's-- stop playing the victim when you know you out there doing things to people. do it for the vine ass boys should be and are red flags. distance and silence does not mean it's beef. and tell your friends about that man!" she listed with her fingers, then clasped her hands together. "with that being said, i'm yasmin ali and thank you for listening!"
