You could tell by the look on Anika’s face that her wheels were turning. Anika didn’t tell Rhonda that she was pregnant, but Rhonda was telling her how she wasn’t ecstatic at first, but now she’s happy, not to mention that the baby has caused Lucious to treat them better. The next day, Anika was going to get a smoothie when she ran into Rhonda Lyon.
Lucious was like, “Yup, so let’s get moving.”Īs all of that is going on, it switches over to Anika Calhoun,who has discovered that she is pregnant with Hakeem’s baby! Yep, you read that right! He just said he didn’t want to mess things up with Laura, and look what happened. When Lucious told Andre that he didn’t care what deal was made or how it was made, that he just wanted to win in the end, Andre called him out on him wanting to control the entire family and trying to hurt Hakeem with the diss record. Lucious and Mimi got into it about whether or not to close to deal, ending with her storming out. Then he told him that the both of them were going to produce his next album together, whether they wanted to or not.Īfter that Luscious sat down with Andre Lyon and Mimi about a business venture. Instead of trying to fool with his parents, Jamal combined the two songs by himself and surprised his parents at his performance. If Frida wins, Hakeem’s next album will come from Empire. When he walked out, Cookie and Lucious made a deal – if Hakeem wins, Jamal’s next album will come from Lyon Dynasty. They agreed to try and work to it out, but after about five minutes, they gave up and so did he. Not long after that, the cat came out of the bag when Jamal got both Lucious and Cookie to come to his studio session to help him with the song. Later on when Hakeem finds out about Cookie and Jamal, Hakeem tells her that he needs her help too, so she better get it together or he’s going to rat them out to Lucious. Cookie runs and hides in the back while Lucious plays Jamal the Pepsi song he made for him. They were working on it until the next morning, when Cookie asked him, “What are we musically?” Before Jamal could answer, he saw Lucious coming to the door. Although Lucious planned to work with him on the song, Jamal had plans to sneak Cookie Lyon over to his place and work on it with her. The next morning at an Empire board meeting, Pepsi showed up to talk with Empire about Jamal Lyon possibly being the face of the company. At least she’s not picking a man over her son. Cookie slapped the taste out of Delgado’s mouth and told him not to ever touch her son. Oh yea, Delgado and Hakeem got in an argument, leading Delgado to push him. But what’s done is done, so he’s going to have to go through with it.
Cookie doesn’t think was a good idea to accept the challenge., because she knows that if he looses, Lucious has control. You know he’s not going down without a fight. Speaking of which, Hakeem was hanging out with Laura, who I’m assuming is now his girlfriend, when he found out about the track. Becky tells him he’s wrong for it, but Lucious doesn’t care – he just wants to hurt Hakeem. The episode begins with Lucious Lyon targeting Hakeem Lyon with a diss track from Frida Gatz.
