  Speaker 2: hear backstory as relates to like, how did this person
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: get started? What happened to this person? You know when
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: they left the show. So I want to start by
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: asking you. Look, you and Cynthia came on The Real
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Housewives of Atlanta season three along with Phadrian Apollo. So
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: before all of that, you were like this power executive
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: who was rubbing elbows with the Hollywood elite. You were
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: responsible for this amazing conference called how can I Be Down?
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Let's Go Brandy in Miami, Florida, and Cynthia at that
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: time was like this very respected supermodel and you two
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: brought celebrity to the franchise. So what made you guys
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: go into doing this show? Did you do this show
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: because Cynthia wanted to do it?
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: No? Well, since you did not want to do the show,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: she knew nothing off the show. I was. I was
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: running upscale superclub restaurant in Atlanta at the time called Uptown,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and one of the cats that worked for me, he
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: told us about the showing that there was casting and
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I looked into it and you know, shooting to me
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: at that point, since you was, you know, declining as
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a print model, you know, the business was changing. She
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: had just she had just moved to Atlanta to be
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: with me, and when I looked at the show, she
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: was scared. You know, those are not a typical friends,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you know, so she didn't want to do it. She
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: was terrified. And I think one of the executive producers
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: at the time than knew who sent their belly was
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: they were fans, and you know, like they just you know, say, yo,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you should talk about who you are. You have seen
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: much more places than most of these people. They find out.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: She used to date Russell Simmons. You know, she had
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: a kid with Leon the actor. You know what I'm saying.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: So there's so much. It was so deep with her,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: and she was dating me at the time, which, yeah,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: what you mentioned, I'm known who created how can I
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: every done music conference? You know, executive producer, the Source
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Awards on up, and I've done some steff. I've worked
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: at Deaf Jam as a consultant for years, you know,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: so I've been in the industry for a while. So
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: they thought it was would be a great dynamic, you know,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: people that have real careers to come on the show,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you know, not just people's pretending to have careers in
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the industry. You know. So they thought it was a
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: cool idea for us to come on to the show.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: And I had to talk her into it. And the
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: second time, the first time they taped her, it didn't
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: really she wasn't impressive, but you know, I shat it
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: down to yo, you tell these people the fuck you are?
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, stopped playing, you know, and
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: she went in you know, you know, she talked about
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the trips to Monica and meet the Prince in all tempership,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and it came together real quick for her.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: So when Cynthia first came on the show, Peter is right,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: we taped tons of footage to really make sure if
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: you're worthy of holding that coveted peach. Cynthia wasn't amazing
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: when she first got on. It took her a minute,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: No shade, We all love Peter. We knew that Peter
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Thomas was a star. I remember being around you and
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Cynthia in those earlier tapings, and you definitely was like
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: the uncredited producer that season because you used to coach
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: and prep Sympia.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think I did that for like at least
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: three years.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Not three.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: One thing I don't think people know about you. You
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: also dated some very famous women, one of them being
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Nea Long and Pepa from Son and Pepper.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, two scopios.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: What was it like dating those women back in the day, Peter, because.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: They were the it girl of Black Hollywood.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Well, Nia's damn. Both of them are island girls. You
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: know that probably was born in New York, Brooklyn, both
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: of them. I believe Pepper was fun. She's adventurous. She
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: she likes challenge, she likes to challenge you. She like
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: you know, but it's like a tomboy, you know what
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. It was fun, you know, traveling the world
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: with Pepper Neil. On the other hand, she was real soft.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: She was nice. She's feisty at the same time, like
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: to fight if somebody stepped to it. She's a Brooklyn girl.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I didn't see them the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: way people see them. I just see I didn't see
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: them from the perspective of how big they were as
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: h stars at the time. It's just people that I
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: was kicking with. Two really good people.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Now, what was interesting is Regina King was on Watch
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: What Happens Live years ago. It was the episode with
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: her and Jackaye got sloppy drunk and Andy mentioned Peter
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Thomas and she gave this great reaction about, oh, honey,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: we all know Peter Thomas.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I mean Peter we talking about Oscar Emmy winner Regina King.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: So like, did you and Regina date two?
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Oh? We never dated. Her husband was a friend of mine,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and you know, Ian was a friend of mine. We
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: was in the music industry together. So like when I
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: lived in La Regina and Ian and little Inn who
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: just passed me. He rest in peace, her only child
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: and used to be friends with my daughter Blade. They
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: all used to do sleepover here. I used to go
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: to Regina Blaze or Regina would come to my house
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: to pick up Litta in and we all used to
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: go out and hang out together on dates like double
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Dats when I was dating one Eat at the time,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Blade's mom used. I used to live in Beverly Hills
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: at that time.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: So going back to Atlanta Housewives, when you was a
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: part of that show, you obviously had a very integral
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: storyline into the show, and I would go on record
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: as saying you were a part of the reason why
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: that show became a hit.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: You were the only person besides Kenya you were not
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: afraid of Meani.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Obviously, husbands at that time were more background players. What
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: made you stand out and go toe to toe with
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: one of the queen bees of reality television?
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean it was on the show and you know,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: like she she got a reckless smile, you know what
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, And a lot of people just didn't even
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: want to be in that to take with her because
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: they feel like they're never going to win that seam.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: You know, I could have waited take with her because
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: she took way too much shit, you know what I'm
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: saying That I know a city was kind of afraid
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: of her. To be honest with you, you know, like
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the guys was the guys were never significant, you know
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. The guys was just there. And I'm like,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: why they call the show they Atlanta Housewife if they
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: don't really want to show the guy's personality. It didn't
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: make any sense to me. And I believe I had
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: a couple of conversations with you about it, and you
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: got what I was saying. And you start, you know,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: introducing the guys more and make the guys participate more.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: And that's when people actually got interested in this show,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And Apollo on I the
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: first time we met, we was gonna fight because you know,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: his wife was saying, I say some shit that some
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: interview I do the Uptown magazine and they asked me
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: what I think about the girls, and I was just
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: being honest, you know what I'm saying. And she was offended,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: maybe because I didn't like her from day one.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Never did you didn't like Pavor day one? Why is that?
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I think she? I think she's the kind of person
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: throw the rock and hide her hands, you know what
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. And I'm like, this chick is she as
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: hell because she would around how he ends and then
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: pushed Porsche to go do a dirty work.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Oh Peter, You're about to make black Twitter go crazy.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: So I became the showrunner season six. I became the
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: executive producer of the show.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Season six.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: You and I had a conversation, and me and Todd
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Tucker had a conversation, and even Apollo. I think at
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the time, we all said, it's important that the men
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: have a voice. And you made Cynthia interesting, Apollo may
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: favorite interesting.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: And because of Todd Tucker, Candy's storyline became more interesting.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: We got a chance to see Mama Joyce at her
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: glory because of Todd, and in my opinion, Todd being
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: a part of Candy's world really made her storyline fascinating.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Because Todd came in as a producer.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: And you and Apollo really were so entertaining to watch that,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: I made the executive decision, and I got in a
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: lot of trouble for this. I made sure that you
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: men tape scenes together and that we did more couples events.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: And because of that is the reason why I create
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: a love of marriage. Because I strongly believe people like
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: to see men and women have conversations, and that started
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: with you and I talking.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I definitely think so there's so much more dynamics when
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: you put the husband in play. More men and women
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: would watch the show together. Before it's just a lot
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: of women watching the show. And the ratings we could
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: clearly she had a ratings jump when the three of
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: us got into it. You know what I'm saying, got
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: into the show and start and you start showing the
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: guys more and that makes a lot of the girls
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: upset too, because they were taking camera time away from them.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: You know, That's what Ninni told me to stay out,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: stay out a woman business? Why nigga, because I'm thinking
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: more camera. You know what I'm saying. I got some
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: shit I don't want to promote too. Yeah, she didn't
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: like that shit at all. You know what. It's called
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the housewife villina. You know what I'm saying. And we
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: are relevant just you giving me just like a little push.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I ran with it, you know what I'm saying. It's
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: like every time my Nini opened them out and see
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: some repless shit. You know, you guys have us all
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: wired up, you know what I'm saying. So you could
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: hear our mumbling in the background, like yo, yoll. Take
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the camera to Peter, ask him how we feel about
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: what just happened. And I couldn't wait to tell your motherfuckers,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: you know. And they hated me for that shit, but
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: it was some real shit. It makes people really want
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: to watch the show.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: No, And what's interesting to Peter behind the scenes, what
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: people don't know is Cimpia used to be mad at you, yeah,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: for what she felt like you were taking away scenes
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: from her and making the scenes about you and interfering
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: in her relationship with Nini.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I thought that was the dumbest shit ever, because I
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: think the whole the purpose why we was on the
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: ship is because of the money that there was paying
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: her and the exposure that we were getting as a couple.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: So the more we take either myself or her, because
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: they never was gonna take me by myself. It's always
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: in our house with her there and her and not
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: talking about it. But like when the cameras are gone,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: she felt the wrath of what was coming next to
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: the girls life, you know, especially Nina her name. I
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: used to wake up every morning and Nil on the phone.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I used to go to bed every night on there
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: in the phone, and I'm like, why you're talking to
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the enemy. She's gonna like talk you out of whatever
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: we're doing. I think Lenny used to probably used to
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: talk to sent you that much to tell her to
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: check me. Oh, tell Peter to sit down, stand down.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I'm like, why now people want to watch this? It
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: happened quick and a lot of them didn't know how
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: to deal with it. I think the first person on
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: this old reality thing, the female that I've met in
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the seven or eight years that I was there, the
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: smartest female on the show, it is Kenny whoa.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: That's very controversial the way you're saying the smartest woman
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: in reality that you've met is Kenya Moore by far.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Tell me why?
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Because she gets this shit, you know what I'm saying.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: She doesn't take it personal. She understand that this is
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: a job, you know what I'm saying. She understand that
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: in real life most of these people she would never
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: be friends with, you know what I'm saying. And she
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: understand what comes along with being on camera on television,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I remember once we asked
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I think myself for Center asked Tyler Perry about this
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: reality and stuff, and they say, Yo, whatever you do,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: stay on TV. If you want to be successful. You
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Make sure that the camera loves
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: you and make sure that you utilize it to the
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: full potential. And I only have to hear him say
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: that once. You know what I'm saying. I'm like, Wow,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: this shit is a business. I love the way Ken
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: you look at it. Can you look at it as
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: a business? I remember, Kenny, we used to. First of all,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: it's not scripted, so when you guys set us up
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: to do a scene, you know, Ken, I would walk
• 16:00

• 16:05
  Speaker 1: You know. You know I really love that, you know
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And after after she got me on camera,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: you know, I just looking at her and you were like, oh,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: you got me. They got to get wait to get
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: you back, you know what I'm saying. So to me,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: it was fun. It was more fun for me than
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: anything else. And I understand, you know, like I just
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: opened borrowing on Mymorrow Drive the new brand, and uh,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: you know, people would watch the show, and people that
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, doubt every day I would
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: hear my name damn a hundred times a day, so
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: those people would translate to be customers in my location.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: And I see it, you know what I'm saying. I
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: got it, and a lot of them didn't get it.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think my ex wife got it at the time,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: you know. And you know every year these girls, no,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: but they don't have no guaranteed contract that they're coming
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: back to. Every year, they would sit around and wait
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: to see if they get that email, you know what
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, and simply used to sit around like you know,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: like a you gonna get called back. And I used
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: to laugh watching her damn near buyer the nails and
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: she's coming back. I said, Yo, it's nobody like me
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: and you and this show. We're coming back step self stressing,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And it worked, you know
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Would she pay you to appear on the show sometimes,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: like to tape scenes?
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: No? Well, you know, like you know everybody, they have
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: their glam squad and they stylist their hearing makeup people,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: you know. And you know, I used to take fifteen
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: percent whenever the check comes in, I will take fifteen
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: percent because I have to keep my shirt up also.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: And you know, the time that I was given to
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: you guys was actually taking away time from my business.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: So our agreement was that I would take fifteen percent
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: after we pay all our household builts.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: You deserved every penny because you were fantastic. And the
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: beauty of those seasons is the relationship that you formed
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: with Greg leagues. And obviously Greg is alonger with us,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: and you and I obviously have personal conversations about his
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: last days. Can you share with the audience about what
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: those last moments you have with Greg? And is it
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: true that you were with Greg when he had his
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: last breath?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: No, that's not true. Ninny called me and let me
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: know that it's going to be here long, and he
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: was action to see me, and I flew from Miami
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: to Atlanta. When I went into the house and Nick,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: they walked me into his bedroom where he was on
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the bed. Guy was like ninety pounds and everybody know
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: he was standing three hundred at all times that I
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: knew him. And he didn't even look the same like
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: he just looked he looked different. I thought I was
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: looking at a little East Indian man. You know what
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, look like he's straight out of East India
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: like Bangala. That he looked laying on the bed, and
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: while I was there, they actually thought he was dying
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: that day. And I dragged Apollo to come with me,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: so with both of us were in the room and
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: he held in my hands and he actually held my
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: hands for four around forty five minutes, and the whole
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: time I like, oh my god, I hope you don't
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: think this lap right holding my hands. That would fuck
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: with me for my life, you know what I'm saying.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: So I'm dealing with him. And you know, they said
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Greg Peter is here, and he kind of looked over
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: at me because he couldn't really move his muscles they
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: weren't really working, and he's like he smiled. I always
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: deal with him. And I was just there and Nini
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: was there the whole time rubbing his feet, you know
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because he liked the way it feels
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: in his bedroom. The blinds was there, so they couldn't
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: close the blinds because a lot of times he's looking
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: outside because he's seeing real life outside, you know what
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's when you know somebody is definitely not
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: going to be here. So after an hour of us
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: being in the room, you know, like people keep on
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: saying different things to him, and he was trying to
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: say something and Nini went over to hear what he's saying,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: and it's like, uh, she's and Peter is trying to
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: tell you something. So I lean over to him and sheo, Peter,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: look out for my wife. And I'm like, oh my god,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: he's dying. And he's thinking about Nini, like, probably not
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: gonna even be here ten more minutes. He doesn't know that.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: And when he said that to me, that just I
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: just broke apart. I fell apart. It just was just
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: crazy him, you know what I'm saying, because you kind
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: of put yourself in those moments, and how brave you're
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: going to be in those moments knowing that you're dying
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: and you might not see tomorrow, you know. So it
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: was crazy. You know. When I left there, I'm like,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I'm never going back. And three days later they passed.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Obviously, when he said look out for his wife. You know,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: it's been said publicly that you introduced Nini to her
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: new boyfriend. Was that part of your commitment to making
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: sure that you listen to Greg No.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Actually, you know, like Yanni is a very stylish guy's
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: very he has a very charismaic of personality. I know
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: him because you live in Charlotte. I had the hot
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: spot in Charlotte for several years. So every weekend I
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: would see like Jan and all his African friends would
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: come and we all stay in the back of Sports
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: One and when you put on the afrobeach, you know,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: we just have a lot of fun. Reggae and afrobeach
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: were just wild out. And I really loved that guy.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: And then you know, like I love his style and
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: then become my styleist. He started start buying all my
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: suits from him, all my custom suits from him, custom
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: shirts from him, and I never had a bad moment
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: with him. I didn't know that him and Nini while
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: because he opened up in Atlanta, still in Atlanta, and
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: you know, like all them Africans move on certain sets,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: so I didn't know that him and Nini at cross Path.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: But he asked me, what do I think about it?
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: I said, she's my sister. She's great, you know what
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. But they already met. I didn't introduce them.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, so that's not so they already met.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: He just he oh, gotcha, okay, because the word on
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: the streets that you introduced them together.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: She didn't ask me about him. She knows that he
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: was my friend, you know what I'm saying. And he's
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: from Charlotte, you know. But I think that's all she knows,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And she's the one who said, Pete,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: everybody's telling the story on the streets that everybody's saying
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: that you put Yania and myself together. And I said, yeah,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I keep on hearing that everybody's talking about it. I said,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: the only thing I did was endorse that, like he
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: is my friend and I'm the common denominator between both
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: of them, you know, so they would ask me things
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: about each other.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Is he the type of guy that you think Greg
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: would appreciate that she moved on with.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Greg needed to be happy, you know. Yanni is the
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: perfect person for her because he made her constantly laugh,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: and he's ambitious, you know what I'm saying. And he's
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: far from being stupid. It's extremely bright and international, you know,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: and that's what she needs. She needs, she needs range,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: She needs to be around someone that's that's just not
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: in one tunnel, you know. And I think that's what
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: she probably loved about him, and he loved how crazy
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: she is.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Stay tuned for more of my conversation with Peter. We'll
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: be right back after this quick break. This is Reality
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: with the King, and I'm Carlos King. Let's get back
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: into my conversation with Peter. So, obviously, you and Greg
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: had this amazing relationship up until his passing.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: When Todd came on the show. You Todd, Apollo and Greg, you.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Guys have this beautiful friendship and this beautiful relationship, and
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: then obviously apollow into jail and things sort of transpire
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: between you know, Candy Phedra that obviously affected the husbands.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: So word on.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: The street is you Apollo and Todd almost gone to
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: a fight at an Atlanta nightclub?
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Is that true?
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't know about Apollo and Todd, but I
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: remember I was at a club called Whiskey Mistress in Buckheat,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: and you know, Apollo just came home. You know, he
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: went to jail. He was in jail for six years. Okay,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: we were still doing the show. So when he came home,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: it's like time started again for him. On the outside,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: so when he came out of you, that's where he
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: left off, and that's where he began. And I was
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: trying to explain to Todd that, listen, that's where he
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: left off, and he's only speaking from his perspective. You
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I don't have no reason to
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: have no beef with either one of them, but I
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: understand the mentality of where he left off and where
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: he began, you know what I'm saying. And when Todd
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: see me, like, he kind of like, you know what
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, what the fuck? Well, what's that about? You
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? So, like I wanted to talk
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: to him, and as people was kind of like gathering around,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: like but none of that didn't.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I tell him, you know, I don't know beef with you,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, but you got to respect
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: this man what he's saying, you know, and you and
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: him got to talk that out. And Todd was kind
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: of mad. Is a cat from the Bronx. It's kind
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: of mad that a power probably didn't call him direct
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: to talk to him, but he was talking to anybody
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: that would listen. And I understand why Todder was man
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: but what the fuck they got to do with me
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: because I'm rolling with a Pollow.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: So when when they all saw each other, it was
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Utah and Apollow together.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Thinking Pollo was in the joint that night. But I
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: didn't like the way Toddler was coming at me because
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I personally didn't do nothing. But you know, we New Yorker.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: So he's rolling with all this dudes from the Bronx
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: and whoever he was rolling with, and you feel like
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I was rolling with Apollow, so he didn't have nothing
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: for me, and and words was exchanged and grew up
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: in each other's.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Face, up each other's faces.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. And then the club definitely where people have
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: to separate us. You know what I'm saying, because we
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: both men. You know what I'm saying. When I neither
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: one of us was backing down, I was ready to go.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: How is your relationship like now with him?
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I saw I saw todd in in Vegas. Okay, we're
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: standing in the same hotel, so a couple of times
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: that you have to go down that same little card
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: door past show you your room key to get to
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: the elevator, seeing him there once. Then one night I
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: came in around four in the morning and it was
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: just him there. I'm like, oh shit, awkward. So when
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I saw him, I just gave him the head thing.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: He gave me back the head thing. I got one
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: on the elevator and that was it. I'm gonna be
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: for Todd.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Some footage leaked Peter Uh some Potomac housewives at barw
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: one Miami, and it appeared that missed mea through something
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: and chaos happened.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: And Wendy was involved.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: What can you say to us about what occurred in
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Miami at your bar with those Potomac ladies.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Well, in short, liquid was stow on somebody's face, somebody
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: threw a glass, and somebody a bunch of shit went down.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: All right, we can't wait until this new season up
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: a top back.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: So let me ask you this. What is your relationship
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: like now with Cynthia.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Do y'all talk?
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was kind of mad at her when she
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: was trying to sue me for something that actually belonged
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: to me.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: She tried to sue you for what for the.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Property that I have, some dirt that we had bought.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: We had had did an agreement that I was going
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: to buy a port from her. Because the restaurant was
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: going to do on the unset property never developed to anything.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: We lost like around eight hundred thousand dollars on that deal,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: but the property was still hours. So I don't know
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: where she came up with the idea to form a
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: lawsuit without even telling me that she was, you know someone,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: I saw it. Everybody was saying, since you sun you
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: for a property or for money, and look what are
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: you talking about? And of course going back to the blocks,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: and I saw it. Uh So I sent I take
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: a couple hundred thousand dollars to my attorney trust fund,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: and I said, you're get in touch. You don't work
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: this shit out because I'm not giving it to her
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: because when I said that, it's before we got a divorce,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: and then when we got a divorce, I basically said,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna even though my attorney and everybody said that, yo,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: you know, you carried on the show for years and
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: she wouldn't have all this money if it wasn't for you.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: You need to get fifty percent. I'd call up one
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: of the Williams and she let me went on her
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: show and said that I was walking and I wasn't
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: taking anything from this divorce. But since you know that
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: that was said after, you know, a year before, I
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: said I was going to pay her back for that property.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: So I just called up and said, Yo, you know,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: you know you walked and I didn't take anything. I
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: didn't even take the furniture that I bought in the
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: fucking house. I said for you to sell the house
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: and keep all the money. I just didn't want another
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: nigga to come and experience I NK in the house
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: that we got together. You know what I'm saying, that
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: shit has fouled to me, when people split up, they
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: should truly start over, you know. And I said, I'm
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: going to have my lawyer send you a hundred thousand
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: dollars and you dropped this lawsuit, and he send it
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars to work out the deal, and
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: the lawsuit was dropped. I kept the property. Wow. I
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: talked to every now and then, I mean like every
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: now and then, like if if I see something and
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I think that she needs a phone call, I was like, Yo,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: how you doing. You're good? You know, And I could
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: hear it in a voice. I know it pretty well.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: Well. It looks like you're very happy.

• 30:22
  Speaker 2: I had no idea about half of the stuff we
