After getting into an argument with his girlfriend, Paper Boi storms off, gets mugged, gets lost in the woods, and meets a creepy old man who won't stop following and taunting him.

Geez.

This place is a mess.

You ever hear of a trash can?

And I know you know how to fold.

Get up.

You know good and well I did
not raise a son this lazy.

Get on up now. It's close to noon.

Yeah?

Hey, it's Earn.

Um, just checking in.

You-you doing okay today?

Al?

Yeah, man. I'm-I'm-I'm...
yeah, I'm okay.

All right. Good, um,

to look over those forms yet?

They need them to be
signed by Wednesday.

Nope. I, um... I ain't get a chance yet.

- Okay. Just...
- Yeah.

What's up, bro?

Hey.

You all right?

Yeah.

Hungry?

Nah, bruh. I'm good.

You sure? I just learned
how to make pasta.

Nigga, when'd you learn to make pasta?

In a dream.

Yeah, Mayor McCheese was there,

the girl from Dharma and Greg...

That's, um...

that's my ride, man. I'll see you later.

Is that Sierra?

Yeah.

What, man?

Nothing, man. I just, you know,

I thought you were
allergic to girlfriends.

- Man, Sierra ain't my girlfriend.
- Okay.

Well, make sure you ask her

if she wants some of
this fire pasta. Yeah?

I will, um, keep that in mind, bruh.

I'll see you later.

All right, I'm serious, man.

I'm-a put my foot up in this.

What's up, girl?

You know I used to
dance around here, right?

In that strip club right there.

Yeah. Yeah, you told me.

You ever go in there?

Shit. Sometimes.

Well, maybe you seen me there before,

like, before we was anything special.

Shit, I could've been
grinding on your junk

thinking you was just
another dumb, broke nigga.

Yeah?

And I could've thought you
was just another stuck-up ho

with too many damn stretch marks.

You crazy, girl.

God, I'm so glad you
could kick it today.

Yeah.

I swear, I don't see nobody no more.

It's just photo shoots and appearances.

Shit is crazy.

Yeah, I hear that.

Yeah. You get it, right?

It's nice to be around
someone who gets it.

106.5 The Jam.

Nothing but the hits.

Shit.

Aah!

Yeah!

How's it going? Go over here?

Yo, Alfred.

Yo.

You should get these shoes.

I ain't got no interest

in looking like no damn black Aladdin.

Whatever.

That dope boy from the
hood act won't last long.

Really? Since when can
you tell the future?

Since I'm about that money.

Y-You keep being
smart, but I'm serious.

People gonna get tired
of seeing a sweaty nigga

in a polo and cargo shorts.

Nobody wants somebody famous
to look just like them.

Yo, how much are they?

Man, who cares? If you like them,

have your manager get
them for you for free.

Yeah, that ain't happening.

Yeah, why?

'Cause Earn, man, he don't...

he don't know how to do all that.

He don't get you free shit?

I mean, he get me liquor
sent to the house sometimes,

but other than that...

My God! Baby.

Baby, you got to level up.

Get you a manager with a big dick.

You know, girl, I don't
know nothing about all that.

Look, enough with the kiddie shit.

You need someone who's working for you.

Whatever, girl.

Hello?

Can we get some assistance?

He needs to see a couple
sizes in this shoe.

Yeah.

You bossing white people around?

Hey, somebody got to do it.

Aw.

That girl just posted that picture.

So sweet.

I love fans.

Ooh!

I'm sorry.

It tickled. I-I-I'm sorry.

I ain't never felt
nothing like that before.

You know, most guys would
not be caught dead in here.

Is that right?

Hell yeah. Niggas be acting

like grooming theirself is gay.

That shit's fucked up.

Ain't nothing wrong with
caring about your hair,

your nails, your skin.

Most niggas need makeup more than I do.

You don't need makeup.

Aw, you're so sweet.

No, I'm serious.

It's my brand.

I'm Instagram famous, boo.

I can't be selling my wigs,
and out here looking janky.

I got to compete with
white girls with lip fillers

and butt injections, selling
lip gloss and spray tan.

Shit.

Everybody want to be a black girl,

but the black girls ain't
making no money from it.

Hey!

Um, you need to post on Instagram more.

No, no.

I hope your manager's figured that out.

He...
