Tamika's family, especially daughter-in-law Jenna, opposes her long-distance relationship with Meka in Africa, citing red flags: he depends on her money, she donated plasma to support him, and the giving is one-sided. Meka sends a video declaring his love and promising marriage, but Karamo questions whether his words match his body language.
Chapters
All right everyone, I'm back with Tamika and joining us now is her daughter-in-law Jenna and her cousin Angela. All right, you both have been backstage listening to what she has said. What are your thoughts?
She doesn't need to go.
She doesn't need to go to Africa?
No.
Why do you think so?
We not feeling it and we're not feeling it not because we're biased, not because we don't want to see her happy.
Yeah. Jenna, why do you not? Why do you not want this relationship to happen?
It's not giving. She's very deserving.
She said point blank, it's just not giving. It's just not giving. Okay. Jenna, what are some of the red flags that you see?
Honestly, like she might go donate, you know what I'm saying? You know, she's—
Hold on, what do you mean? She donates what? It's okay. It's the only way I can help you if I have all the facts.
I'm sorry. I mean, she may go donate plasma.
Did you donate your plasma to get money to be able to help him out?
I did when he needed it.
Okay.
Listen, you don't see judgment on my face. I'm just trying to hear how this level of love is and the things that you're willing to sacrifice and do for this man.
But he didn't ask me to do that. That was something me did.
No, no, I didn't say that he asked you. I said the willing. Why are you liking that?
That was something that I did. Because he needs to man up and he needs to understand that if I have a woman that's willing to go this far for me, then I need to show up for her. He doesn't show up for me.
So she sends more gifts 'cause she made it seem like she only sent money once. She's supported him a lot more than you.
No, I said 2 or 3 times.
Okay, you think it's more than 2 or 3 times?
Who knows the truth for real?
Got it.
He's supposed to pursue you. If he was a real man, not only would he not ask you, but he wouldn't accept from you.
I actually asked my producers to track him down and to get a video from him since he can't be here. So we have a video from him that I want you to see. I haven't seen it yet either, but He sent a video for you.
Hello, Meka. I miss you. I love you, honey. I can't wait to be with you. You're so beautiful to me. You have all it takes. Like, I can't wait to be your husband. I can't wait for you to be my wife. Like, seriously, I missed you so much. So much.
Woo!
What do you think when you see that?
I miss him.
You miss him? I'm gonna tell you something. I study body language and when someone talks, you can see how they act and do stuff. Every time he said, "I miss you, I love you," he does this, which is a body action of saying, "Though I'm saying these words, what I'm really showing you is with my action." So if I say to you, "I really want you happy." How do we get to know him when you don't?
