My Hairstylist Got Me Pregnant And Then Went Ghost! | KARAMO

In this episode of KARAMO, host Karamo mediates a heated paternity dispute between Shantay, who claims her hairstylist Kareem Santana fathered her child after a one‑night stand, and Kareem, who denies responsibility. Shantay describes how the encounter began in a salon, the subsequent pregnancy, and Kareem’s disappearance from her life. Kareem’s girlfriend Alicia joins the discussion, adding accusations of harassment and defending Kareem’s reputation. The conversation escalates with repeated claims, social‑media references, and confrontational dialogue. The climax arrives when Karamo presents a sealed DNA test result, revealing that Kareem is not the biological father. The revelation triggers shock, apologies from Shantay, and a call for moving forward, while Kareem expresses frustration over being falsely portrayed. The episode showcases the dynamics of personal conflict, public accusation, and the role of DNA evidence in resolving paternity disputes.

So this one-night stand came with a baby, huh?
It did. It was a wild night. I lived it to the fullest. Yeah.
You're grown, so you can. Absolutely. So tell me, how did you go from the hair chair to Kareem's bed?
Oh. So Kareem honestly is a hairstylist in my sister's shop, Paraisian. And he had a special going on. He does hair really, really nice. He had a special going on.
Yeah.
Then I get there, I sit in the chair, he's telling me how thick I am, how good I look. Feeling on me, I caught on to it. I'm like, okay, I'm gonna ignore it. But then he like, what you doing later on? Like, I ain't doing nothing. What you wanna do later on? So we ended up going out. I had a few drinks.
You seem like you a good time girl.
What?
You a good time, I can already tell.
That's exactly what we did. We had a good time.
Oh, you had a good time, okay.
So I had like 4 Monacos. Monacos get you toe up. I was toe down.
Okay.
Like I locked my phone, I couldn't see. So he like, let's go back to my house. We go to his house, we do what grown people do, you know? So I'm like, okay, you slayed my hair, I know you finna slay me in the bed, right? I know you finna do what needs to be done, right?
Well, did he do what needed to be done?
And he did.
And he did.
So after that, I was like, I like this, I want some more.
I goes, I want some more.
Book another appointment for a little maintenance, you know. I wanted to see him again and again and again. He became a little—
Okay.
Okay, so after that, I did let him know that I was pregnant because I ended up missing my menstrual.
So you said you went back, you booked the appointment, y'all had a little bit more fun. And how long that go on for?
So that was the second time. That was like 3 weeks after the first time.
Okay.
Yeah.
And then you said you missed your menstrual cycle?
Yeah.
Okay.
It didn't come at all. I didn't see it at all. Absent, like he is. I let him know. He left me on read. I sent it in a text message. He left me on read.
Got it. Got it. And this after y'all been having a good time, a great communication?
Yes.
Got it. So what was his response once he finally did talk to you?
He didn't respond, but I was posting on Facebook He was like my first viewer. I go onto his page, he's sharing. He got the little green active dot. So I know you alive. I know your phone in your hand.
Mm-hmm.
So why you ignoring me?
Yeah. So from that moment, he just ghosted you?
Yes.
Hmm.
Now tell me what you're about to say.
He showing up to godkids' parties. He's dripping them in designer. He's dripping himself in designer. He's wearing $500 suits, he's doing photo shoots, $700 shoes.
So he's showing other people's children respect. He's coming down and you're over here like, what about me?
What about the child that you helped me make?
Got it. Mm-hmm. That makes sense.
Yeah.
So Kareem to this day is not present in your child's life at all?
Absent.
Wow. Is there any communication between y'all?
Not really. And I really feel like it's his, girlfriend's fault because she's voicing her opinion. And I mean, not that she matters anyways. That's not what I'm trying to say.
Yeah.
I think since they live together, it's more so like, well, if you do this for the baby, you know, you can't live with me, you know?
Have you had a run-in with his girlfriend?
Indeed.
Okay.
She didn't really want no smoke. I had my baby anyways, so I wasn't on that.
Yeah, but you could tell that she didn't want any issues with you anyway. Yeah. Okay, Kareem says you are harassing him and his girlfriend. That's what he's telling my producers. Do you feel that?
Do it look like I have to harass him, baby?
From my opinion, no, girl, 'cause you fly. I know. I'm just going off what he said. All right, before we bring out Kareem, let's bring out his girlfriend, Alicia, and hear what she has to say. Everyone, please welcome Alicia to the show.
What is she doing here?
Kareem brought her out. Hey, Alicia, how you doing? Nice to meet you.
Who obsessed though?

Who? How is it not my business?
It's not. How?
That's my man though. But that's my man though. Whatever he got going on, I'm with it. Like, I'm the— Like, what? You're not the wife.
Where's the ring?
It's clearly not your business.
Where's the ring?
But it is though. But it is though. That's my man though. No, it don't matter. Did you not grow up with him? A ring don't matter. A ring don't matter. That's been my man though.
Make it make sense.

You're crazy.
Why you in a— You need to sit down. This ain't even your business. This is my business because I take care of that child like her best. This not her business. This not her business. This not her business. When me and him talking, he voiced his opinion about the whole situation. He been wanting a DNA test. He been wanting a DNA test. He been wanting a DNA test. He's telling me this though. I don't know what he's telling her. I don't know what he's telling her.
Has he ever told you that he wanted a DNA test?
Honestly, he did.
Oh, so he has said that before.
He did.
And then why didn't you do it for him?
I mean, it's not me running from him, it's him. I'm okay.
Alicia, what's your opinion on that?
You can voice it. We need action. It's a lie.
Why is it a lie?
I feel like he done told her, talked to her, told her. We could have did a DNA test back home. Okay, so that's why we could have been did a DNA test back home. Y'all want to bring us on the show though, but he wants to do it back home. But you didn't want to do it.
Tell me about your relationship with Kareem.
I love Kareem real bad. Like, he's a great provider. He take care of me. He do my house, everything. Excuse me? Look through his phone.
What's in his phone?
You think you the only one?
Excuse me? Mm-mm. He had a baby on you, sweetheart. What happened? You don't even know if this his child. Have a seat. Have a seat. But look, did he not cheat? Did he not cheat? Have a seat. I wasn't with him. Me and him wasn't in no relationship, boo. We wasn't in no relationship.
Why are you in our business now?
This my man now, though.
OK, we'll see.
Right, yeah.
So y'all wasn't together, right?
We wasn't in a relationship, boo. That's not what you was arguing about.
Alicia, what happened at the nail salon when you had the run-in with this woman?
You know Chicago's small. We all know the same people. So we go to the same places. We go to the same places. So I see her in the nail shop with the baby. She mugging me, like mugging me down. Like, what you wanna do, something to me or something? Like, so we got the arguing going back and forth, but her baby was there. So outta respect for the baby and Kareem, just in case it is his baby, I didn't beat her 'cause I couldn't really beat her.
You didn't want no smoke from me.
Girl, be for real, you had your baby. You had your baby. You had your baby. You had your baby.
You feel like she is obsessed with Kareem?
Yeah, very much so.
Why?
She want what I got.
She know, she know. She laughing, but it's the truth. Like, she trolled him on Facebook. Girl, hush, girl, hush, hush. Be quiet. Girl, hush. She trolled him on— Exactly, look. She trolling him on Facebook.
A man can't even step up for his own child, but God kids out to eat. Okay.
She don't even know if it's his baby. That's what she watching his social media. First of all, they not even friends. Well, I don't think they friends on Facebook. Oh, well, how would you know? How do you know he taking his God kids out? But how do you know he take his godkids out if y'all weren't friends on social media at this time? How you know he take his godkids out? And then you don't even know if this is his baby or not.
What's posted on my page if you're not lurking?
Somebody sent it to me. I ain't lurking on your page. Somebody sent it to me. Instead of you being a good girlfriend, you're talking about if this here is your child, let's not do this, let's do that. Somebody sent it to me, boo.
You know you can't come around. You're over with.
Come around who, your child? You know it. If I'm with him, I'm gonna be around your child.
You're not. Absolutely.
He is.
You don't run nothing, that's what I want you to know. This is my show. You don't run nothing here.
You couldn't even tell her nothing.
Yeah, to stop talking.
Nothing. All right, boo.
Absolutely nothing.
So you are sure that Karamo is the father?
No, no, no, no, no. Hey, see, that's why you need to marry your man. You need to have a man of your own. And you need to marry your man.
I remember when I had sex with him, I was with somebody prior to him.
Exactly.
Excuse me, I'm talking. Let me talk. This is my child, this is my baby daddy. Let me talk.
You don't know if it's your baby daddy potential.
We have 3 people that are arguing about a choice that you two made. So what do you have to say about all this?
I just feel like I knew her before the situation. She already was telling me how she is. She sit in my chair, she tell me what she doing, what she finna go do and who she finna go do it with. I don't know if she forgot these things, but I already knew what type of person she was. Beforehand.
Okay, but you slept with her, right?
That's what I'm trying to figure out. I knew all this was something because he knew it was gonna be easy, boo. He knew it was gonna be easy, but he knew it was gonna be easy.
So you're suspicious of Chate? Why?
After I serviced her, she went and got slayed by somebody else.
And you mean sexually? Yes. Because you run your mouth.
Chad, please.
Is that true?
That after you two had sex, you went and had sex with somebody else?
That's not true.
Okay then. Kareem, you said that she came onto you. Is that true?
Yes.
So, 'cause earlier you said that he came onto you.
Yes.
Okay then. So why does she believe that you came onto her then?
Delusional. Making it up. Making it up.
So what exactly happened that night then from your point of view?
We went out, we had a good time. We were sloppy drunk.
Did you not ask me to come back to your house? Did you or did you not?
Yeah, probably, but we was already out.
We probably was already out.
We probably was already out. Did you have sex or not? They was drunk, like, make it make sense.
We was already out.
Did you have sex at your house?
Yeah.
She got drunk, so yes. So you did ask her, okay.
Got wet.
Okay, so she's not that delusional.
No, she's very delusional.
She's very delusional and upset. Very much upset. Very much upset. Very much upset. You need to have a seat, Mom.
No, we don't even know why he's here.
Have a seat, Mom. Have a seat.
Okay. This is my business, boo, thank you. Yes it is.
Karamo, Shantay says that you told her that the condom had busted that night. Is that true?
I said it probably broke because she was so consistent. So why didn't you stop? So consistent and certain that I was her baby's father.
So you did say that there's a possibility that the condom broke that night?
I said it probably did because she was so consistent that she knew for a fact that I was her baby's father.
They was drunk, what you mean?
You know they—
What do you want this outcome to be today?
If this is your child, I would like for you to step up like you step for everyone else's child. You're outside wining and dining, trips here and trips there.
So why you didn't give me a DNA test when I first asked?
$700 shoes, baby. Expensive suits.
Why I didn't get a DNA test when I first asked?
Nails look better than mine.
Exactly, exactly.
Fresh haircuts. I would like for you to step up.
How can I become one of your guy kids?
And if it ain't his baby, then what? Then what? Okay, okay. If it ain't his baby, then what? You gonna stop being obsessed with me? 'Cause you really upset for me.
I feel like it's about the baby. I feel like she makes it about me.
Do you want to be back? Do you want to be with him?
Very much so. Absolutely not, baby.
So you do not want to be with him?
Absolutely not, even a little bit.
Absolutely not. Why don't y'all believe it? She's saying to you, I don't want to be with you.
Why do you believe her?
Wherever I'm at, she literally harasses us.
Well, that makes sense since she's been trying to figure out if you the father or not.
It don't be for the baby. She want him to be her man. She want him to be the daddy. That's the thing. Like, make it make sense. You don't need a shadow. You don't need a shadow.
Like, be for real.
You talk too much.
She pop up at my job. She don't even bring the baby, but you want me to see the baby. You want me to be in the baby life. Why you don't bring the baby around me?
Why don't you bring the baby around when you pop up? I don't know why I'm here.
Because I never know how it's gonna turn out. She's there. She's rowdy and unladylike all the time.
Why would I be rowdy with the baby around?
Why would I bring my child around somebody like that?
Okay, I get that. I understand that. I understand that.
I don't understand that.
You don't understand that?
I don't understand it either.
Okay, well, I do understand that. If she's saying like, I'm coming around and I feel like there's gonna be issues. I don't wanna expose my child to that. I can understand that. I can understand that. Well, listen, I think it's time to get to the truth of all this. So, here we go. So in this envelope is the DNA truth to say if Kareem, if you are the father of this child, this is a moment for you because—
For them.
For them. For you. This is a moment for you. So I'm gonna let you open this envelope. This will tell you right now if you're the father or not. Are you ready? How do you feel about this? 'Cause this has been 2 years in the making.
Yeah, I just want her to stop tarnishing my name, painting me to be this deadbeat when I don't even know for sure I'm her father.
Okay, before we go any further, it's time for the DNA truth. I see you shaking, you nervous. Would this be your first child?
Yeah.
'Cause of you. Let me see.
What's it say?
Let me see. It not, it not, it not, Mom. It not, it not, Sister Girl. I'm sorry, and not sister girl? And not sister girl? Oh, oh, okay. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. You need to apologize to both of us. Yeah.
Let me see. So it says that Kareem Santana is not your biological son. Okay. Okay.
Okay, well now we know for sure.
But you was painting a picture that he was the daddy, making him all the things. Not right now.
Not right now. No, we ain't the daddy. One minute, let them talk.
That's their situation. What's going through your mind right now? And what's going through your mind, Kareem?
For 2 years she been banging, bashing my name, talking shit, talking bad about me, painting me to be this deadbeat father that I don't wanna be in her child's life. She knew that I wasn't her child's father.
Exactly.
I did not know.
Yes, you did.
I did not know.
She wanted me to be her father.
'Cause she know he a good man. He's a good man. He's a great person. Provider. She wanted things.
It was never about me. She wanted me in her life.
Got it, got it. Do you, how do you feel right now knowing the truth?
If it's not him, I know exactly who it is, so it's okay. It's all right.
Okay, she'll be here again.
I mean, I'll be here to support you, you know, at the end of the day, figuring out the answers, because at the end of the day, there is a child here that needs a father. At the end of the day, I will say this. Do you feel like you owe him an apology for the last 2 years of bashing his name?
You're absolutely right, I do. I apologize. I sincerely apologize.
You, I don't know, you nothing, baby. You're not getting nothing. Look at me and look at you.
I apologize. I honestly apologize.
Well, at least you got the answers now. I gotta be honest with you, I'm completely shocked because—
I am too.
Yeah, I know, I can tell you're shocked. I can tell you're shocked as well and I can tell you're shocked. And I also saw your body language. I think you were, secretly not sure, but you were hoping.
Yeah, I was.
I could tell, I could tell, I could tell. But in this moment, you all got your answers now, and now you all know how to move on from here on out. Any support you need, I'm here for you, but I wish you all the best of luck.
Thank you.
