Before We Get Married, Unlock Your Phone! | KARAMO

My guest Lakeisha met her man Peso at a furniture store, fell in love hard, and they got engaged. But the relationship soon turned toxic. So toxic that Lakeisha rang in the new year by kicking in the bumper of Peso's car. I know, crazy, right? Lakeisha now wants me to unlock Peso's phone. Everyone, please welcome Lakeisha to the show. How you doing? Hi, Lakeisha.

Hey, how you doing?

I'm good, may I have a hug? Good to meet you.

Yes.

Okay, so Lakeisha, I heard it. You bumped in his car, you hit his car?

No, this is so not true and I'm ready to get this cleared up today and a lot more other things.

Then what happened?

Okay, so New Year's Eve, we went out to the club. He disappears. I don't know where he went to. He stayed gone for a long period of time. Which led me to get up and go look for him. As I go look for him, he's outside in the parking lot arguing with another female and I'm his fiancée. So I'm very upset and I just wanna get this cleared up today because he had his back turned. I saw what happened to the vehicle.

Yes. Okay, so first let's go back. Was it love at first sight? What made you give him a shot?

You know, he looked good to me and I saw him checking out my thighs and things, so. I went, you know, I walked by there.

You got body, baby. You got body.

I walked by there and, you know, we had changed phone numbers, you know. He called me, he came over and he asked me out on a date.

Yes.

So we've been together ever since then.

Okay, cute. So it started moving fast.

Yes.

And it just went toxic?

Yes.

So was trusting Peso a big deal for you?

Not in the beginning.

Okay.

Towards the end, like, so, you know, basically he asked me to, will I marry him? So we end up getting engaged basically like after the first time we had sex or whatever, you know. And, you know, he was a nice looking guy. He told me he had not too long got out of being incarcerated. So I was like, I'm gonna give him a chance, you know. Everybody deserves a chance. You can't judge nobody off of that.

How long have you guys been together?

Shy of 7 months.

Hold on. All of this is in 7 months?

Yes.

Together, engaged, and fights?

Yes.

Okay. I just needed the timeline. You have doubts about your engagement to Peso?

Yes. I'm not, if I don't find out who this woman is that's been calling him, texting him, he probably meeting up with, I'm not getting engaged. It's over and I'm not getting married to him.

So did you try to ever confront any of these women?

Yes.

And what happened?

Okay, so one night I went through his phone, 'cause his phone was going off late at night, so he went to the bathroom, so I end up getting the phone. She was texting or whatever, and I text back like I was him. And so I was like, well, you know, I was sending a text, I was like, well, can you meet me? I was acting like I was him. So she was like, where you want me to meet you at? I say, meet me at the gas station. So I got in his car, I didn't know her from Adam from Eve, but she knew the car. Soon as I pull up, she come walking to the car all jazzed and I rolled the window down. I say, look, let me tell you something, Peso is my fiancé. You don't have no business calling him, texting him, or nothing. And I'm warning you, girl, this is not what you want. So if you know like I know, stop calling him and I mean it.

So Peso is telling my producers that he thinks that you're jealous and insecure. Insecure?

I don't have anything to be jealous of. I mean, like, what, what do I have to be jealous of? I'm, I'm so not jealous of anything.

Oh yeah?

And I'm not insecure.

Okay, I hear you. So what did Peso tell you about his past?

Really pretended to be the good guy. Like, it's all the women's fault. Every woman that he'd been with, they messed over him. Uh, you know, like, he perfect. You like, he don't do anything.

So what's on the line for you today?

I mean, everything is my, the engagement, the marriage. I mean, I just want him to come clean and just tell me the truth, you know? 'Cause three is a crowd. When I met you, I met you for us to be together. I don't need no outsider, you know, in our business.

[Speaker:KARAMO] Okay then, well listen, we heard Lakeisha's side and now let's hear what Peso has to say. So Peso, come on out. How you doing, Peso? How you doing? How you doing, sir?

This what we doing?

Yes.

This what we doing?

Yes. Okay. So Peso, Lakeisha says you sneaky.

My daddy always told me, if somebody point the finger at you, it's 4 pointing back at them. Please believe that. When a man step on the scene, a woman know her place. But she got a king. Please believe that. And it's a blessing for her to be sitting right here next to me now.

Really?

Yes, really.

Babe, when—

Hold on, we don't act like this.

Okay, okay, I'm gonna let him talk.

So, Patience, she thinks you're talking to other women on your phone. Are you talking to other women?

Let me tell you something, I'm a very attractive man. I know a lot of people. Your girl pull up at my job— Hold on, can I talk? See, that's how I know you guilty. You always trying to overtalk me.

First of all, who was the girl that I went met at Circle K? Who is she?

I ain't even know about the girl at Circle K.

That's a friend of mine. You know now, but at that time I had—

Can I explain?

Okay, go ahead.

See, this is why we can't never get nowhere. You lying and you been having. Okay, if I'm lying, let's see what it is today, but I'm gonna find out you lying too.

We gonna both find out today, but you the real liar.

Ain't no phone when a rapper got the gun, why would they? That's what you say, right?

I bet ain't no man.

We gonna see, we gonna see.

Enforcing stuff with your car? Brother, let me bust your bubble, you probably don't remember what I'm finna tell you right now. Okay, the night of New Year's, we went to the club, when you left me sitting at the bar, you remember that? Okay, when I catch you outside arguing with another woman behind your car, You come run over there to me, when you turned your back, she hit your butt.

So it wasn't her that kicked your butt?

No, it was not. I saw her do it.

She say it was her. When he turned his back. But can I tell my side of the story? It's New Year's, we turnt. I'm a popular dude in my city. I go to the bathroom, a friend of mine that I ain't seen in a minute came out there and say, "Hey, step outside, take a shot with me." When it struck 12:01, I wasn't in the building. But guess who else wasn't in the building? Keisha.

I'm out there, I'm looking for you.

Hold on.

Keisha got a little red car. Next thing I hear my alarm going off, I see Keisha hopping in the car with this dude and they gone. And look, the proof is in the pudding. You got the picture, right?

It don't take much to lie.

This is Tryron in the audience. This is your friend right here, right?

Hold on, you remember me? Yeah, she know I know.

No, I don't. I've seen you around. I've seen you at the club a couple times, but I don't know you.

I told you I see her all the time, man. At the club, goin' for drinks, doin' her thing. But this the part that killed me about it, Payson. Well, hold on.

When you first saw her, you didn't need to sit down to tell me you didn't know her.

I'm speaking the truth.

This is my man. So you don't have no other man right now?

But when the results come in from what I see, I'm gonna tell you that.

Believe that.

You said you've seen stuff.

I'm speaking.

So you said you've seen stuff. You know things that happen.

I've been seeing her. I didn't know she was talking about, he was talking about her. And you like seeing me somewhere all the time.

I'm continuing to go out.

But you do know me, right?

I have seen you around, yes.

I don't know you.

I know for sure she cheat. I've seen her with several men.

Several men?

Jocking drinks, you know what jocking drinks is, don't you?

Yes, I do. She just realized, I bet she just figured out what that is.

I don't know how to jock a drink.

That's what we do. Oh, so we did see you at the bar drinking.

So you admit it, so now you wanna come on TV and come clean.

First of all, he don't have nothing to do with our relationship.

I'm ready to see this online.

The thing is, he don't have nothing to do with our relationship.

I'm faithful, I'm loyal.

I don't really know him, that don't mean anything 'cause he seen me at no—

You often engage with other men?

With other men?

'Cause I'm just trying to get both sides of the story.

Please, let me know.

I mean, when you go out.

Yes, when I go out, I have drinks, but I never left with anybody though.

Okay then. So you've never talked to anybody as well? You've been 100% faithful to him?

Yes, I've been very faithful to him.

Okay, we gonna see.

Do y'all think this is a healthy relationship?

I'm gonna tell you something. In the beginning, told her my situation. You know, I did some things in my life that I wasn't proud of, but you know, I'm not that individual today. So Kisha saw the best in me. You know what I'm saying? I was at a low point in my life, man, and she took me, you know, showed me how to get back in society and be a productive man in society. I bring something to the table too. I'm a hardworking man and I'm a good man and I know my value and my worth.

So I'm not a hardworking woman?

Yeah, you is.

Yeah, give credit when credit's due. I feel the same way about you.

I'm gonna give you this credit, you sneaking.

Okay, well listen, friends, it's time to start unlocking these phones.

Let's get it. Let's get it. Let's get it. Let's get it. I wanna see it. I wanna see it.

It's time to find out what the phone on Lakisha's is. Phone.

Yeah.

Okay, so I have unlocked your phone. Is there anything on here that you think that I'll find?

No.

When it came to your phone, we went through apps, photos, texts. When it came to secret apps or any apps that you'd be engaging on, we found nothing.

Thank you.

At all.

Thank you. What?

Man, that's BS, man.

Hold on, we not done yet. We not done yet. We not done. We not done. No.

Okay.

When it came to photos, we found one photo.

Oh really?

When it came to texts, We found 99 texts. Can someone give me the evidence back?

99?

And I'll show you.

Oh, really? Really? But I'm doing something.

Hold on, let me show you.

I'm doing something. Okay, okay.

Really?

This is what we doing?

I had no idea. Really? This is new to me.

Oh, okay.

No, this is new.

This ain't new to you, boo.

This is new to me.

This ain't new to you.

This is not new.

Yeah, this ain't new to you.

So the one photo and the 99 texts go together. So basically, 99 problems. We found this man's photo on your phone. Do you know who this is?

Yeah.

Okay, do you know who this is? Have you ever seen him, sir?

Oh, so that's supposed to be the dude fixing your dryer, huh?

This is a friend.

Oh, so this dude fixed your dryer when I came over for lunch, huh?

So with this one man, there have been several texts that we have printed out. And so these texts go from like October of 2022. It goes, "I wanna hit it from the back." Oh!

He wanna hit it from the back, huh?

"I need you." That must be a mistake.

This one's right here. But I almost did. Here we go, hold on right now. We have this text. We have a text on November 14th, 2022 that says, "I needed you bad last night. All that sexy stuff." I was with you.

What you, what?

This is not, this can't be.

These keep going on. These are texts between you and this gentleman right here of you engaging in talking. Wow.

It's true, but didn't anything happen though. So it is true, it was just—

You said you wasn't doing nothing.

I wasn't doing nothing. I was just—

Just having fun.

I did it just because all the stuff that you did.

Yeah, whatever. I don't wanna hear it.

Yeah.

All right, well there's two sides to every story. So Peso, we unlocked your phone as well.

Let's go.

All right, so is there anything on your phone that you think we'll find?

I ain't worried, let's go.

So Peso, we unlocked your phone as well. We went through apps, we went through texts, we went through photos. When it came to apps, we found 3 apps used to communicate with women, Facebook Messenger, Snapchat, and Google Duo. When it came to texts, we found 279 texts with the same number.

And he just found one in town and you complaining you got 279?

That's a big size.

Really? Really?

So, Lakisha, you gotta hear it. So we found the same number. He was asking her for a ring size. He bought her roses and even offered to take her on a trip. And we have 4 photos.

Y'all better get him away. We have 4 photos in here. Y'all better get him away. Can I see the photos? Y'all better get him away from me.

Hold on, I can explain.

Well, Lakeisha, but we found some stuff on yours as well.

I can explain.

So both of y'all doing the same thing.

It's a reason behind everything. Both of y'all doing the same thing.

So Lakeisha, let me ask you this. So we found this one of you FaceTiming with another woman. Do you know who this woman is?

Yeah, that's who I met at the store, I believe.

Here's a woman that has been sending him photos.

Oh, she's pretty.

On New Year's Eve, this photo was taken when you two were not together with this woman.

Oh.

And then the last one is that he had sent this photo, a naked photo of him to a woman. Do you know who this photo was sent to? We can't show that on TV.

I think that's, is that the same one that I met at the store? That's the one that was FaceTiming you and stuff. He pretty much just told me that. Well, I need to know who do you want? You want me or you want her?

Let me be real for y'all. Let's tell you, your friend said the best. Something been fishy with both of y'all in this relationship. Y'all met 7 months, you went fast, you fell in love, but at the end of the day, now that y'all need to be with each other, you know what I mean? I went through the text messages. You're talking with this other woman. You are having emotional relationship with her. You are hoping to maybe take her on trips. You talking about buying a ring. I think this needs to end. You were talking with another man about having sex, doing other things. Y'all two don't need to be together. At the strike of the brand new year, y'all couldn't even be next to each other to give each other a kiss. Y'all already told each other what y'all wanna do for the rest of this year. Y'all are separate, y'all in two different places. Is this engagement still gonna go on after this?

I mean, I'm just gonna keep it real. Everything out in the open. She been done did wrong and I done did wrong. It's trust issues.

Yes, it is.

So I mean, that's insanity doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.

Amen.

So, you know, I just wanna take time out to find out who I am and get to know her again.

Got it.

Before we crash.

Yeah, so you're saying that you want to stop the relationship so y'all can take time?

Not stop the relationship, develop a new relationship. Us being friends, us getting to know each other. Let me date her, you know what I'm saying? Instead of just jumping right in. I mean, you know, this is the thing.

Sometimes I've been to people, I've been like, well, set new boundaries. Maybe y'all both sleep with other people, but y'all are not even healthy together.

I try.

This is not healthy at all for either one of y'all. Trust issues, y'all lying to each other, y'all are sneaking behind each other's back. We got somebody in the audience who said he knows you, that he's bought you drinks before. There's no reason for y'all to be together. You're a beautiful woman and you're a handsome man. Y'all can find people to love. This don't work. I know you said you love him and I know you saying you love them, but y'all should love each other as friends.

Okay.

So all I can do is wish y'all the best of luck. Thank y'all for coming on the show.

Thank you so much. Yeah.

All right, friends, stay with us. We'll be right back with more.

I wish y'all the best of luck.

Hold on, where you going? I'll tell you where you're going. Right here to subscribe and right here to watch more.

Period.
