Appreciate you, kid. Appreciate you, bro. So talk to me. Yes, sir. I feel like it's unnecessary for you to accept a gift because it creates unnecessary emotions like feelings that wasn't even there. So if you give a gift You think that's you

You smash and that's your girl now Nah not necessarily It depends on the gift A Rolex Yeah if I give her a Rolex Yeah that's my girl I'm smashing No see that's

You can't have that entitled You know That entitlement You know what I mean Cause you know They always say It ain't tricking if she's worth it Right like if she's

If she's Rolex worthy You give her a Rolex You it's like you you do it and hope for the best hello who's this hope for the yeah yeah yeah yeah good morning good morning absolutely absolutely what yeah yeah you ain't even absolutely what you just ready yes i'm taking the gifts let me tell you something. I was listening to respond, okay? Absolutely, you should accept a gift. A gift is given willingly. Uh-huh. You don't lay no stipulations down?

We ain't sleeping together. No. So, somebody gives you a Rolex that you're not interested in. You're taking that Rolex and you're out. Absolutely, because you want to know something? They decided to give it to me. I didn't ask for it. Nene, do you lay any stipulations down? Do you let them know, like,

it ain't happening now, just because you gave me a gift? No, I'd be like, we going to dinner. Which restaurant would you like to eat at? You know, we'll go to dinner tonight. We can talk. Yeah, but that's it. I mean, you know, I didn't do Yanni like that, though. Hello? You didn't do Yanni? Hello, good morning.

Good morning. What's your name? Devin. Devin, what's your thoughts, Devin? Are you accepting gifts from somebody you're not interested in? Of course.

I am not and I love you, Mimi. Me and my husband adore you but I think it is so wrong to accept a gift from somebody you have no interest with.

I think it misleads them. I think it gives them the wrong message and i think that's part of my part of why like stalkers happen like it just opened up so many different cans of worms yeah i understand but i actually did in the end date this guy for a little while i don't know if you guys remember was that sorry date like i have to do because he gave me or no he was giving me so much. Who was the guy? We saw this play out on TV?

Yeah, I did have to. I just felt like I needed to date him. He was so good to me. Who was it? You don't want to shout him out? I don't need to shout him out. People watch the show. So he was so good to you. He gave you gifts.

So why didn't it work? It just didn't work. We still are friends today. He's a very nice guy. But honestly, I just wasn't attracted to him. Go, still are friends today. He's a very nice guy, but honestly, I just wasn't attracted to him. Okay, don't do that. You said yeah.

I heard that. I received the right gift. The only person I heard say give the gift back was the person who received the Apple Watch. Everybody getting these Rolexes and these big boy gifts, these big girl gifts. They ain't giving them back. What's the moral of the story? I think the moral of the story is as long as you let people know what it is you know I think the moral of the story is

you have to use good judgment you know I mean I knew that he wasn't a bad person I knew he wouldn't hurt me or anything like that but you can't accept everybody's gifts all right did anybody ever ask for anything back who is everybody or anybody? No, you can't get these gifts back. They're not going back. What are we going to do? But you won't be getting them back.

I respect that. I tell women all the time, you can't un-affirm. You know what I'm saying? You sure can. So if you can't un-affirm, don't give the gift back. I'm not giving back anything. My goodness. All right. Well, we got rumors on the way.

Give us a tease. What are we talking about? Oh, my God. So up next is Drake's L.A. My goodness. All right. Well, we got rumors on the way. Give us a tease. What are we talking about? Oh, my God. So up next is Drake's L.A. home was burglarized. Yeeks. All right. We'll get to that next. Don't move.
