My Mom Tested 7 Other Men, Are You My Father? | KARAMO

Tell me about this "Hey Daddy" text.

Oh gosh, the "Hey Daddy" text was ridiculous. We're asleep, his phone just keeps going off, going off, going off, and I love my sleep. So I'm like, okay, it's going off, going off. I got up, I got his phone, text message, "Hey Daddy." Hey Daddy? So I'm like, I'm looking at the number. Okay, I said, "Sam, Sam, get up. Who is this that done text your phone?" So he like, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.

Yeah, huh, huh, huh, who text you, hey daddy?

Who done text you, hey daddy?

Yeah.

So he was like, I don't know. So I'm like, okay, you don't know. Ring, ring.

Yeah.

Hello, who is this? Hello? Hello?

Yeah.

Who is this? Diamond. Well, who you looking for, Diamond? My daddy. Your daddy? Okay. Oh, Sam, get up.

Yeah.

Like, not so, he really gotta get up. So she just got silent. So I'm like, Sam, well, who is this? Who is Diamond? Who is Diamond? Who is Diamond? He's standing up, he's laying there like a deer in headlights. Baby, you can see me 'cause I can see you, we see each other.

Yeah.

Get on up. So I'm like, okay, so I hung up the phone. Come on, 'cause you gotta tell me something right now.

So Diamond didn't say nothing on the phone?

No, she was like, she probably was a deer in headlights on the other side.

Okay, on the other side, okay.

So he got up, so he was like, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know. So I doubt the number again. Hey baby, where you met him at? The Crab Stop. That's my family's restaurant. We hired you. So now you taking somebody there? Oh baby, now we really got a problem. So I'm like, okay, well Diamond baby, who are you? Um, Diamond. How old are you? I think she said 15 or 16. 15 to 16. You got a 15-year-old little girl. You got, I think his other son was 17 at the time. I got a newborn at the house. You about to get beat down.

Beat down. You got something.

You about to get all the way beat down. So I'm like, hmm. She said, well, he's my daddy. I'm like, yeah, you told me that, baby. Yeah, but he's not my daddy, but he finna be In the grave, Daddy.

You get what I'm saying?

He finna be the daddy to everybody in the graveyard. So she was like, "No, like, he's my daddy. Like, my mom put me up for adoption. He's my daddy." Oh. So I'm like, "Wait, what? Your mama put you up for adoption? He's your daddy?" Like, they don't have no adopted kids. I just know about the two, and the two here, and this my little baby. So she was like, "No, um..." "This lady saw me and she said you look like Sam." I'm like, "This lady saw you?" So I'm like, "Hold on, baby, I'm gonna call you back." I said, "Sam, you got another baby?" He was like, "Yeah." What? "I think she mine." Got it, okay. "But here's the thing, her mom had already texted 7 other men." Oh, wow. 7 other men.

So at this point you also feel better 'cause you realize he wasn't actually cheating.

Right, and so I'm like, well, She's old enough, we weren't together at that time.

Yeah.

So you should have told me. He was like, I was scared.

But this woman told 7 other men that Diamond could be their father.

And they had a test. And they had tests and I know she was so embarrassed 'cause you are not the father 7 times.

Yeah, yeah.

That's not good.

So when did y'all finally meet?

Probably like 2 or 3 days later.

Okay.

She came to my house. So we're just like, you know, getting to know each other but The resemblance, she looks just like my baby boy.

Oh wow.

And she looks just like his other child. So it's like, ooh.

How was the meeting?

It was really good. You get what I'm saying? And then she's a Gemini, so I'm a Gemini. So you know, we mesh with who we mesh with. If we don't, you gonna know already. So she started coming around more, like I love her. Like I absolutely love her.

So your relationship now with Diamond is great?

Yes, it was great then. After, you get what I'm saying?

What about Sam and Diamond? How's your relationship?

It's good, but she like, She loves me more. Yes, she loves me more. Like, it's just, she loves me more.

So how long ago was all this?

Probably about 10 years ago.

10 years ago, okay.

Yeah, about 10 years ago.

So she's in her 20s now?

Yes, yes, yes.

So my producer said you called the show to get this test done. Why now?

Well, I said it a long time ago. Like, it's something that I always wanted them to do because I'm big on family. Everybody should know who their family is, and it's just going on and on and on and on.

I'm glad you're here today to get the DNA truth, seriously. Karamo, I wanna welcome Diamond to the show get to hear her side of the story. So everyone help me welcome Diamond.

Yeah.

Hello Diamond, how are you? Thank you for being here. So what was going on in your head when you first spoke to Stephanie?

I was like—

'Cause she sounded like she wanted to fight you.

Yes, I was like— She was scared.

I was like real scared. I'm like, hello?

So tell me, how did you first hear about Sam?

Okay, I was working at a nursing home. So the lady was like, "You look just like Sam. You know Sam?" I was like, "No, but my mom says a guy named Sam." She was like, "You need to meet him." So I don't know if she called somebody or I had went in the Crab Stop and everybody was just looking at me. And one of the workers asked, "Was I Sam's daughter?" I'm like, "Why everybody keep asking me that?" I was like, "I don't even know who Sam is." So one day—

That's all in one day.

Mm-hmm.

Look at how the universe work. Look how God work.

So one day I went back to work. She was like, I got the number. She had gave me the number and then that's when I called.

What age were you when you realized you did know who your father was?

All my life.

All your life. Your adoptive parents told you?

Yep.

Okay. And my producers say you were adopted at a young age. How old were you?

My adoptive mom got a legal adoption of me in 2007. So I was like back and forth with my real mom, then being in foster care, then group homes, and just traveling everywhere.

So you were like 7 when you got with your adoptive mother?

Mm-hmm, when I got full adoption.

Yeah. Yes, sir. So this has always been a question for you of who my father is. How does it, how has it felt, made you feel to know that like you potentially have met him?

It feel amazing. I wish I would've known like when I was younger 'cause I had been through a lot growing up.

Yeah.

So if I would've like known him before when I was young, I probably wouldn't have went through what I have went through as when I was growing up.

Do you have any doubts that Sam is your biological father?

I ain't got no doubt.

No doubt?

I know I look just like him.

What about you, Stephanie, do you have any doubts?

No, not really. And they have so many similar characteristics and their main one is lying. And I get on him and her all the time 'cause it could be the smallest thing.

Like, she gonna tell y'all the business. She gonna let y'all know.

Like, fuck it. I'd be like, why would you lie? Like, regardless of how the results come back, this is my diamond.

Yeah, it's been 10 years, guys.

Period. This is my baby.

Well, I think it's time to hear from Sam, your potential father, and hear what he has to say. So everyone, welcome Sam to the show. How you doing, Sam? Thank you for being here.

Don't we look alike?

Look at us. I see it, I see it, I see it. So what did you think when you first heard about her?

I was nervous.

Yeah.

Nervous, very scared. I don't know what to do. So I talked to her brother and like, what should I do? Like, well, bring her to the Karamo Craft Style. We met her.

Yeah.

And I ain't tell her at all.

We heard she said you like to laugh sometimes. Yeah, so I just left it at that.

Got home, I ain't think she was gonna call the next day.

Yeah. Do you remember her mother?

Yes, I remember her.

You do remember her?

Yes.

So did you know at all that you might have potential daughter?

No, I didn't.

You didn't?

Not at all.

Yeah. So she never told you. You do remember her mother, but she never made any mention of it.

Never told me.

Okay.

If she have, I would've kept her.

Beautiful. So it sounds like you don't have any doubts.

No, I have no doubts at all. No.

Okay, that's good. What is your relationship now with Diamond?

I love her to death, even though she love Stephanie more.

Listen, she stayed the night with us the other night. So she woke up, she came in the room, she was like, "Good morning, Ma." I was like, "Good morning, baby." And so like I left out and I went to the dining room and he was in the kitchen. He was like, "That heifer ain't even speaking to me." I was like, "Maybe she didn't see you, Sam." He was like, "She saw me. I was right here." She saw me.

So I do have to ask this because there's this potential. You know, we did hear that there were 7 other men tested. And even though you look alike, we know that sometimes doesn't matter. What will you do if you find out today that she's not your daughter?

She's still gonna always be my daughter. I love her.

Will you wanna continue a relationship, Diamond?

Yes.

Okay then. Well, I think Diamond, it's time for you to open your DNA truth. This is the DNA truth you have been waiting your entire life for. Like you said, you've always wanted that father figure. And though at a certain age you did find Sam and he embraced you, you never had the full answers of really knowing is this your biological father? So this is your truth to open, not mine.

Oh.

Oh, thank you.

What?

What? What's wrong?

What does it say?

You my dad. Oh, what? Oh, thank you so much. Sorry.

Here you go, baby. You had us all— we all were like, no, no. Here you go.

Oh my gosh.

Here you go, child.

Here you go.

I'm sorry.

No, you fine. You get to process your emotions how it was a shock for you to see that and like have your confirmation. 'Cause though he's been in your life, now this just means it's official. You know for sure this is your father. How are you feeling in this moment?

I'm happy and like now I can build a closer relationship with him. Even though I already had one over the years, but I'm happy.

So was there a little bit of you that may have been a little reserved of holding back just in case? Okay, that would explain why you walked in the room and said, "Good morning to you." And they're like, I get it. So now that you know, you're ready to fully let your guard down? Yeah. Okay.

I'm just so happy.

Oh. Well, I think now that we have the results, me and my family here in the audience, we can officially say together, hey daddy. 1, 2, 3.

Hey daddy.

Congratulations, Karamo. Karamo says, how you feelin'?

I'm happy.

Good, good, good, good. I'm so happy. I can tell there's a lot of love, a lot of laughter in this family, and you needed these answers. You needed the truth, and so I'm glad you got your DNA truth. Thank you for being here so that I could support you in that, okay?

Thank you so much.

Yeah, you're welcome. All right everyone, thanks for being with us. Make sure to come back next time, friends, so we can keep talking and glowing.

I love you.
