In this episode of the Karamo talk show, host Karamo mediates a heated dispute between Saniyya and her boyfriend Shamar. Saniyya seeks advice on whether to stay with Shamar, suspecting him of cheating and gambling. Shamar accuses Saniyya of being a controlling "baby mama," claiming she repeatedly vandalizes his car—breaking windows, scratching, and stabbing all four tires—often with the encouragement of her friends. Saniyya counters, admitting she stabbed the tires after an argument but denying involvement of her friends, and claims Shamar’s behavior (e.g., secretive whereabouts, gambling) fuels the conflict. The conversation oscillates between accusations, denials, and attempts by Karamo to clarify events, highlighting a pattern of mutual blame, alleged abuse, and relationship instability. The segment showcases Karamo’s role as mediator, probing each side for specifics while the participants repeat and reinforce their narratives.

I need you to help me figure out what's best for me and if I should stay with him or go.
Okay then, listen, I'm here with Saniyya who reached out to the show asking for my help to determine if her boyfriend Shamar is cheating and has a gambling problem. Let's hear his side of the story. So take a look at this.
Karamo, I'm tired of my crazy controlling baby mom. When we first met, she was one of the nicest persons I ever met. But ever since she had our baby, she's been It's been nothing but baby mama drama. I make my own money and I take care of my baby, so I don't understand what's the problem with me gambling. When she doesn't know where I'm at or when I'm not texting her or telling her where I'm at, she go crazy and she usually take it out on my car. She goes and bust out my windows or she goes and scratches out with knives. She popped all 4 of my tires last week. I don't know why she's so worried about my money and I'm spending it all fixing my car and all the stuff that she breaks. And honestly, I don't know how much more I could take it. If she don't get it together, we're not gonna make it.
Girl. Okay, hold on. Let's go ahead and hear Shamar's side. Let's hear Shamar's side 'cause I need to hear what's going on. Everyone, welcome Shamar to the show. Shamar, come out here right now for me. I need to know immediately. First of all, welcome to the show.
Hi.
I need to know immediately, did you actually do that to his car? Did you actually? Because you said you just left the door open and I just saw the car getting—
Okay, so no, I left his door open and then I go to his mom's house and he just said something that made me mad and I ended up just stabbing all 4 of his tires. I pulled it out the driveway and I parked it on the side of the street. So, 'cause I—
Y'all let me get in it, move it, and then mess it up.
Yeah.
Tamar, so you told my producers, "Enough is enough." Yeah. Uh-huh. What do you mean by that? Outside of the tires.
Enough of crazy acting. First, this wasn't the first time she did something like this.
Yes, okay.
This has been happening for a long time.
It's not the first time she's done something like this. Oh. Okay, what other examples?
Her and her friends come and they come wreck my stuff.
Is that true?
Like literally. She got a whole bunch of friends she has, her little posse. Or whatever, and they come and just wreck my stuff.
That only happened one time.
That you brought a gang of your friends over and y'all just started—
And they didn't even get out the car. They didn't get out the car though. They took me to my destination like literally.
They got out the car and smashed my side mirror, and my junk was hanging when I seen it.
I did that, but my friends didn't have nothing to do with the situation though.
Yes they do.
No they didn't.
They hype her up to do stuff like that.
Okay.
They bad influences.
No, I did it because you be doing stuff.
Terrible influences. What do you be doing?
I don't be doing nothing.
You do a lot.
What do I do?
You blow me up. It don't matter if I'm hanging out with my friends. Like before all this stuff, before my baby, I had my baby, she would come like to my friend's house.
Okay.
Like she'll text me like, "Where you at?" I'll be like, "I'm over like such and such." And she'll be like, "Okay, who's all there?" I'm like, "You don't really need to know all that.
Like just chill." Karamo, I only blow him up.
She'll come, like she won't tell me she's coming. Like somebody will come from the house like, "Yo, she's outside." Like sitting on your car. She outside sitting in your car. I'm like, what do you mean she's sitting in the car?
No, Karamo, the reason why I pop up on your phone is because like, why you not answering your phone? You can't answer and be like, I'm gonna call you back or something like that. Like, I'm busy, say something. But you not answering your phone, that's making me seem like you with a girl. And I pop up just to see if you're lying.
