– What happened to Earl? Tony happened to Earl, that’s what. Came at my cousin like a straight bitch, bruh. Straight bitch.

– Man, please, Tony just a bitch. He ain’t have no problem but hisself. Straight up, just a weak ass, pussy ass little bitch who got a taste a some punanny[1] and lost his goddamn mind.

– Whose name?

– The bitch Tony did all this over? Louise.

– Yeah. Earl told me ‘bout Tony and Louise. This nigga Tony came ‘round Earl’s crib with all this bullshit ‘bout how Louise done fucked his life up, how this trick[2] done got all up in his head then left his ass dry. I’ll never get that shit, son. But it just be happenin’ like that sometimes, know what I’m sayin’?

– The pussy, man. Government be talkin’ ‘bout war on drugs and shit [Mr. Price chuckles]Need to be a war on pussy, bruh. That shit right there—that’s some addictive shit for yo’ ass. Niggas like Tony Stephens, they get a ounce a punanny and they be fiendin’ for more, son. After just one hit they start actin’ like pussy’s platinum or somethin’, like they walkin’ up in Jake’s and coppin’ the whole spot with just that little piece a ass. Problem with niggas like that though…they act like its straight up dope for real, like supply runnin’ out. Like there ain’t enough pussy out there for every brother on this planet to get they fuck on, twice.

– Yeah, man. Earl told me all ‘bout Tony and Louise. ‘Bout Tony’s [Mr. Price kisses his teeth and sneers] women problems.

– Tony weren’t nothin’ but product to that bitch.[3] She left his ass for the next dick and he damn near lost his mind, ‘cause he ain’t got no game, bruh. Nigga’s game was weak, son.

– What got me was—hear this, Earl told me all ‘bout this shit—Tony’s fucking this bitch for a hot minute, right? And, all a sudden, one day he walk up in Louise’s crib to get him a piece and she all decked out in her hoochie gear ‘bout to hit the club, tellin’ Tony he ain’t allowed to come over no mo’, know what I’m sayin’?

– She done, bruh. This trick been done with Tony for days and he still standin’ there with his hands out like a crackhead beggin’ change, and Louise tellin’ him straight up: you been locked out the punanny. No mo’ pussy, nigga. None a them middle-a-the-afternoon fuck sessions, no mo’ whisperin’ on the phone, gigglin’ and talkin’ ‘bout what y’all goin’ do to each other. Nothin’. She says to Tony, she got another nigga now, says she won’t be needin’ Tony’s dick-down services no mo’, know what I’m sayin’? [Wayne laughs for a few seconds] Way Earl told me too, son, this trick Louise, she left Tony, but she ain’t leave him for just any old nigga neither. Naw, son. Tony came at Earl and told him Louise was standin’ there in her finest gold-diggin’ gear, and she tells Tony her new nigga ain’t actually new. Tells Tony, straight up, she got a fiancé bruh. Been had a nigga she was ‘bout to marry. Two years they been engaged, since before she even met this muhfucka Tony. Tony been her side project, know what I’m sayin’? And she don’t want his ass no mo’ ‘cause she going back to her main nigga. Ain’t that some shit? Triflin’, bruh. Triflin’.


[1] “Punanny”: a slang term (originating in the West Indies) referring to female genitalia.

[2] Derogatory term that can mean both a promiscuous woman as well as men that have intercourse with prostitutes. In this instance, Mr. Price is using the word in the former meaning, as opposed to the latter.

[3] In context, Wayne’s use of “product” refers to the economic term for items bought and sold. It is used here as a derogatory term, implying that Anthony Stephens was nothing more than a possession, rather than a living, breathing human being.
