In this episode of Karamo, host Karamo mediates a heated confrontation between Servilla and her fiancé Ihsaan (also called Ison). Servilla accuses Ihsaan of cheating—showing a sexting text and claiming he spends time at a bus stop meeting other women—while also demanding answers about an engagement ring he placed on layaway in 2021. She alleges he has not made the required $200 bi‑weekly payments and that the ring’s status is unclear. Karamo attempts to have the couple’s phone unlocked to verify the cheating claims, but the phone’s battery is dead and cannot be accessed. The discussion shifts to the couple’s lack of romance and everyday neglect, with Servilla complaining about limited meals and social life. Karamo offers to help pay for the ring if Ihsaan commits to more effort and publicly declares his love and commitment. Ihsaan affirms his love, and both partners exchange vows of affection, ending the segment on a hopeful note of renewed commitment.

How are you, Servilla? You look beautiful, mi amor. How are you?
Nice to meet you.
You look so pretty.
Thank you.
Come on. Okay, so what text did you see on Ison's phone?
Oh my goodness. This the text that like broke my trust a little bit, you know? I'm looking through the phone and all of a sudden I see, what did it say? "Let me fuck and you know what I mean." Like, what do you mean by that? When I read those words, when my eyes saw that, I just was like, it just threw me, it just threw me.
[Speaker] Yeah, so what happened in October?
[Speaker] Last October, I'm doing a Halloween party/birthday party for my granddaughter. His phone ring, hold on, I gots to show you. We walking together now, we side by side, his phone rings, so I'm just like, you know, like, who that? Lo and behold, my eyes landed on So I'm like, who the hell is calling? So you know when men do stuff, you know they get nervous and stuff. So he started fumbling around, fumbling the phone. So the phone's calling back. I'm like, answer it. He like, Queen, I'm gonna answer it, I'm gonna answer it. Answer the phone, call it back. So he answers. You call me Queen all the time, but all of a sudden I'm your peoples. Hello, I'm with my peoples right now. What the hell was that? What was that one about?
Wow, so he switched it up. So what do you typically argue about?
So he said, "Let's get married." So I be asking him about the ring. When we was going to get the ring and he was like, "Get what you want," I didn't go there. I just chose something reasonable. It was only like, you know, like 3, little over 3,000 or whatever. So from 2021, I was there with you. You put 100 down. And you set it all up, you gave him all your bank card information to take out $200 every 2 weeks. So it was set up. Where is that?
So you want us to unlock Ison's phone, you told my producers, and you said because you wanted 3 things particular. You want to see if he's cheating?
Yeah.
Or 2 things in particular. It's because you wanna see if he's cheating and you want to know if he actually has an engagement ring on Layla.
Mm-hmm.
Okay. Well, everyone, I think it's time to meet Ihsaan. So everyone, please welcome Ihsaan to the show.
How you doing, Ty?
Nice to meet you. Good.
Take a seat for me.
All right, so Ihsaan, please tell me, how do you feel about what you just heard?
Basically, I'm just trying to do the best I can, you know?
Yeah. Who was the bitch she said?
Okay, that was somebody I met at the bus stop.
And for the record, have you ever cheated on Savilla?
No.
Never?
No, never cheated on her at all. Mm-hmm. Any way, shape, form, or fashion.
So we gotta ask, do you have her engagement ring on layaway 'cause she's in this accident?
Yes, I did. I do have it on layaway.
Did or do? That's what your mouth said.
Excuse me. I went to go check on the ring, what, a few weeks ago to a month ago, and they changed management and they was like, we have to start after basically almost like I lost a lot of payments.
So you ain't gonna do nothing about that? So how much money you lost? You ain't worried about money that you've been putting in? Come on, you gotta go take care of business sometime. You can't just sit there. You the man.
I'm gonna say this, Sevilla, I know you came here 'cause you wanted me to unlock Ison's phone. Are you ready for these unlock the phone results?
I am ready. But before, I don't know what y'all was able to do, but I found this mighty strange, right?
Uh-huh.
We coming here, right? On the 23rd, all of a sudden on the 22nd, you sitting there, my phone. I think you, I don't wanna curse, you know.
Well, that's what it said. Our unlock the phone investigator says your phone would not take a charge, so we could not open it to even unlock it.
Like, did you, would you sabotage it?
No, it's been broken for the last year.
Okay.
And every time I go in the kitchen, try to charge it or anywhere, I'm always trying to, you know, I'm trying to charge it.
But my thing is, it been like that for a while. How come all of a sudden it totally goes out? You've been working with it like that for the longest. But the day before we coming here.
Two days.
Now it ain't working.
Quay, when I went to the store.
You just went in there and rimshacked it so it wouldn't work.
No, I did not. I did not do that.
Probably that's what I did.
I did not do that. Truthfully speaking.
I wish we could unlock your phone.
Maybe that's why.
'Cause I know our producer spoke to you on that phone. I gotta tell you this, what really what it is for me, I feel like you two are at a space right now where in your relationship you just need more romance.
Well, something simple as food or dinner or something like that.
You wanna do more?
I can't, I ain't gonna never get nothing but a piece of chicken 'cause that's the only way he go. You only catch the bus so you ain't never gonna go somewhere different.
Listen, I'm gonna do this right here. Ison, if you can commit to telling her that you will do more for her, I will commit to helping you with money to get her this ring.
Peace. Peace.
But I'm a man, my words have action. So if she tells me that your words don't have action and she's still looking for a date, then now she knows that you're not gonna make, 'cause I'm giving you an opportunity here. So she knows that you're not gonna even take those steps to do what she needs when somebody else is also helping out. Because I do believe there's love here. I believe there's romance here. I believe that all relationships have their ups and downs, but I do think at the core of this that this man loves you and I believe you love him.
I do.
And I'm giving you the offer still. I'll help you with the ring. All right. This is a step.
All right.
Because I believe you do love her. So here we go. I know, I know. So we got a first step. Can y'all commit to that?
Indeed, indeed.
Can you turn to your wife and say, "I love you and I commit to this"?
I love you, queen, all my life.
I love you too. You know that.
Give your man a hug and give your wife, your lady a hug. It's a commitment that can get y'all in the right direction. I believe in y'all.
