In this interview segment, Karamo asks the guest (Speaker B) to recount a heated incident that occurred during a girls’ trip to Miami involving her longtime best friend, Dijonay, who was experiencing homelessness at the time. Speaker B explains that she was covering most of the trip expenses while expecting Dijonay to contribute a portion. Tensions rise when Speaker B vents to a mutual male friend about feeling ungrateful and frustrated with Dijonay’s attitude toward money and the trip. The mutual friend relays this to Dijonay, leading to a confrontation at the pool that escalates into a physical fight, with Dijonay throwing the first punch. Speaker B emphasizes the depth of their friendship—having known each other since age 13, sharing special nicknames, and supporting each other through many life events—highlighting the emotional weight of the conflict. The segment captures the dynamics of financial strain, perceived ingratitude, the role of a third party in amplifying conflict, and the painful rupture of a long‑standing bond.
Take me back. What happened between you and Dijonay?
We had planned a girls trip to Miami and we had, at the time Dijonay was homeless, you know, but she was my best friend. So she was supposed to come up with like some part of money for her ticket and I was gonna take care of everything else.
Okay.
We also had a mutual male friend there with us at the time of everything and we kind of got drunk and I was venting to the one, our mutual friend, and before you knew it, a whole altercation came.
So how did the fight start? Because I hear y'all are there, you're having a good time, you start talking to this guy and telling him what?
What was the fight about? Well, Dijonae was, I felt like Dijonae was being ungrateful.
Okay.
I felt like she was being ungrateful, you know, like, I'm paying for this, I'm paying for the food. Oh, I don't want to eat here. Or, oh, why are we going here? Like, you know, like one of those. She's making my time like miserable.
Yeah.
And I don't want to be, you know, miserable here.
Got it.
So I feel like he went and told her, something else. Like he heard what I said, added his own twist to it, and before you knew it, me and Dijonae were literally fist fighting. Like she reached, we were arguing.
So how bad was that fight?
The fight was really, really bad. Like really bad. Like Dijonae, like she came in and we were at the pool and Dijonae came in, me and the mutual friend were there. Dijonae came in and I could tell that's my friend. You know, we've been friends since we were 13 years old.
Oh wow.
Yeah, so that's like a lot. Like, you know what I mean? Like that's not like no easy sip. Simple friendship, we've been friends, that's my friend I went through the most things with ever. Like, you know, that's my friend I grew up with, graduated high school with. We have our own special names for each other, you know, as best friends. Like, that's like what type of deep best friends. But you know, when she like walked in there, I could tell, like I said, I could tell she was angry. So, you know, as I'm trying to get out the pool to ask her like what's wrong with her, she started arguing, who the hell are you? Who the hell do you think you are to tell him? My business, you know, 'cause I did tell him that he was, you know, she was homeless or whatever. Words were exchanged and I had told her like, I don't give a fuck no more about this. Like straight like that. I don't care about, I said what I said. I don't feel like I was wrong for what I said, you know? The next thing I knew, Dijonay punched me in my face.
So she threw the first punch?
Yes.
Okay.
Yes, she punched me in my face. She's a big woman. I'm a big woman. You know what I mean? Like you can't, you know, just like, punch somebody in their face and just expect them just to be like, "Oh, let's talk, we're friends." I didn't care at that point. I was already irritated of the whole situation or whatever. So it just was really frustrating.
