– Trina, have you worked out all your reunion event? What do we do?
STEP: I think we should do something nice for the ladies tonight.
– Ooh.
STEP: Sexy? Girls party. Girls night out. Only girls, so I see you tonight.
The family reunion issue was a little different. It was most family – you know, everyone who was related – that kind of environment. We were all in the bubble, which is why we filmed in Arizona, where we could not leave the complex like the resort. We were all there. We could not leave. We had to have COVID tested so many times.
And it was just a different, free kind of atmosphere. I – it was my first time meeting many members of the players. You know, it was just like getting to know everyone. But it was very hot. It was very welcoming. These were not awkward moments. It was just a kind of love. You know, I did not expect that. I did not really know what to expect when I got there. But I was glad it was the energy that was displayed.
– [INAUDIBLE] let’s look at the dress, Cardi! Let’s look at the dress!
STEP: I’m honestly going to say that they gave me honor, said honestly – the girls in hip hop shared some kind of little story or little thing I did that inspired them, or did something to relieve them, or something that they said, O son. I remember it, x, y, z. So I would … I should give them credit for that, you know? From the biggest to the smallest, from the new girls to the main ones.
So I’m one of those people who can say– I can say girls give me credit because I hear it all the time. You know, I hear it in songs. I hear it in interviews. I see it when I [INAUDIBLE]. I’m one of those people who’s been like that all along, you know. And that’s because I always give love. So you know, if it– if I do not get love, I really do not even notice it, because I’m too busy focusing on the love I get. If I’m not, I do not even really know, it does not matter.
