The Royal Baby Shower

real busy. He started doing his own thing, and I've been doing my own thing better. I won't lie. I do miss him, I miss his company, I miss having him, and that's why today I wanted him to join me. Stevie noonez, Stevie noun yez to join me so that we can go over a little bit of the Royal baby Shower Mina. I must admit, i'm us admit that I've missed you a whole bunch. I missed your energy. I think that you are such an amazing person and

I'm so grateful to have you in my life. I am grateful that you're my friend, and I am grateful that you were one of the people that actually came to show me love and support me in my baby shower. But I'm let me tell you something, Jono savvy kid, and baby shower was so much work. I did a beautiful um baby shower. Shout outs to Onyx, the banquet hall. It was amazing. It was beautiful. Shoutouts Mia, Epic Events.

Epic Events in Miami made sure that my gender review was amazing, make sure that my baby shower was amazing. I am just so grateful for them. Um, I will check the coach, I mean, everybody that came together to make it happen. But it was so much work. God, can we talk about that cake? Ow good? I At first of all, they sat me down with her, the one that did your kids. She is incredible. And on top of that, it was a Dominican cake. You can't

have a party without Dominican cake. It's moist, is like, I'm sorry, Dominican is fired it and the cake tastes a basic and listen, I'm not a cake fan, but her cake was good. I mean everything cake. The food was good. The setup was very royal, very goddess, very queen, very sea him first, very being was like over the top because people are like, oh my god, this is the first baby shower that I go to. That it's like, you know, so extra. Usually people don't do it like that,

they do something more simple. Let's talk about I had Loca, I had dancers, I had a robot, I had machines. We were dancing boom that. I mean, it was just really really dope. The DJ was cool. I mean it was just such a vibe. Like if you haven't seen it, go check it out on my Instagram at Allen on the highlights it says baby shower and there you can see my dress. Valentino mar did a beautiful, a beautiful gold, very royal regal uh dress for me that I really

loved my hairstyle. It was like a whole concept. Yeah, no, no, no, I love the aura. Now that I've already expressed all the great things and how wonderful and everything it was, I thought it was great, But there was you have some guests there. Can we talk about some guests you have there? So if you didn't know already, she had um Jackie, which is yes, she's amazing. I had Bratt Branner, to which I love very much. He came to show me some love and support. That's my friend boring. And

then you have I had Bobby Lights, I had Prince's love. Okay, later on you guys will we'll see because she also is going through some situations that you guys will have an opportunity to find out on Loving Hip Hop this season. But I think she kind of somewhat made it public the fact that she is no longer with the father of her children, her husband. To my understanding, ray J and Um, the baby shower was something that really touched her. Who memento like heart to heart moment. But we'll all

talk about it in a little bit. Neary was there as well. There are a lot of people. That's why you got it from because and the dance floor Richard Photography and gifted me an amazing picture of maternity picture that I did all those things. Bet that the truth of the matter is I had a beautiful baby shower.

It was really, really nice. I truly appreciated being able to have done this for my girls, being able to have this memory because to be honest, it was more about the memory and about the celebration than anything else. And I'll tell you this, Um something I want to clear up to some of the clips that I posted on Instagram about the behind the scenes, and I'm going to get into the juicy part now. A lot of them were talking ship like, oh, I might as so

rude and she's so disrespectful. Look how she was talking and a lot and I'm like, first of all, only if people knew, because people love to talk without really knowing what was going on. One I had like eight cameras in my face. There's a whole bunch of production there. You know, we're already late. My guests has been sitting

there for a long time. I won't get into details, but they wouldn't let my guests come in because everybody that came into the event had to have prove of COVID COVID tests and they didn't have a prop of COVID test. They literally had to leave. So there were a lot of people that when home, shower change after after work, or or got a babysit or whatever, got their white outfit. All this stuff got there and then they were like, oh, you can't get inside because of

the COVID test. So it was just so much happening, And then I felt like when them let's figure out a way where the people that have been COVID tested sit in the front. I understand safety. We're in a new world right now where we have to protect ourselves, where COVID is serious. And on top of that, you know you're going to a baby shower with a woman that's pregnant with twins. You don't want to feel responsible if you pass on COVID to her or to her guests.

I totally get that part, but I was already piste off. And then when you're doing these type of events, all the pressure is on you. Everybody wants to Everybody wants to talk to you, everybody wants to hug you, everybody wants to rub your stomach. Time out. Now that I say that etiquette, stop rubbing pregnant women's stomach, What is wrong with you? Like they're not Buddhist. I get that you. I get that you're like, oh my god, the baby's cute. I get that part. I don't know about other cultures.

We're like we we we have these thoughts of like you know, Lambidia sale lie in it. He are the energies or whatever salac you come with all your bad jujor your bad energy, and you're stress in your life, and then you come and rub it all a bit my stomach. And then I don't want to be rude and be like, yo, can you back off? I don't mind standing next to you. I don't mind taking a picture. I don't mind you seeing something nice, but you know,

can you please stop? They get offended. They get offended, You're supposed to just sit there and let them rub all upon you, Like, dude, I don't want to be rubbed on. First of all, I'm already hormonal, already have an attitude. I'm piste off. My uterus hurts, I gotta pee every three minutes. I'm hungry, and I want to go to sleep and then I and then I gotta let everybody come and get me. Anyways, So there were

just so much going on that day. I get there to the event, Like I said, I was already late. They wouldn't let my guests come inside. That's why I was already screaming, because I had people that literally took a whole light to make it to my baby shower because it was like a really important moment for me. And then they're calling me, I'm out of we can't get inside. You know, bla Blas production won't let us

get in it all. And I understood, because you know, they have a certain protocol that they have to follow. I was already so piste off. I didn't even care. I was just like, I invested so much money into making this event. For those that saw some of the clips, and we're, you know, judging me without really knowing the story,

there goes some of it. It was true though, because I was there, they were they were so like, we were so hungry, and they were like, we had to wait for you, And I understood, we did have to wait for you, but we were just so hungry. We were starving. And you came out and you said fix that. So what I loved about you do that, even though you were filming, you were very attentive to us. You were like that that they're eating, make sure that they're entertaining.

And that's what That's what happens when you're the one when you're the one hosting events. It's like when you have a wedding, when you have any of those things. When you're the one hosting the events, you have to be the one giving all the attention to everything. And in away or another. It's a beautiful thing, but then you don't get to enjoy your own event as much because you're making sure that all your guests are comfortable

to get their drinks or this or that. And by the end of the night they're like, did you enjoy it? I did, But I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't had to be in like the one on top of everything, because even if you don't have to, people still want your attention. If they're going to your event, they want to know that you're catering to them somehow, that you're paying attention to them, that you acknowledge the fact that they're there, which is cool. I get that

part better. Some people can be very annoying. Some people don't know how to be like, well, I'm not at because he was okay, cool, boom, I'm gonna go about my way etiquette. Guys, let's let's work on that. And I'm not saying it because of me. Like me, there's a thousand people that if you have the opportunity of meeting you know, your biggest celebrity crushed or whatever. Just be mindful, be respectful, be you know, be cool about it.

Don't like super old. You know, it was just a lot going on, but I just wanted to give you, you know, both sides of the story, like both aspects. So that's the kind of like the bad that happened. My father didn't come. I was hoping that he would be there because it was one of the most important days obviously of my life, right but he left to d R because he has a little skank over there, so he was busy. But um, but with that being said, it's okay though. It's okay though, because you know, that's

part of life. Um, My baby's father didn't show up. Either I was hoping that he would be there or just you know, I was hoping he would just show up to surprise me, like surprise. You know. I came here to celebrate, at least for the girls, and there was a part of me that kept hoping that he would show up. But he didn't show up either. You know, that really hurt my feelings and one of one of the most special moments for me in this baby shower.

You know, when I came out, they opened the curtains and I went down the stairs and I was on stage and everybody saw me and everybody was clapping because you know, oh, the excitement looked pretty whatever. When I went down and they gave me the mic and I had the opportunity of talking, I gave a little speech about how grateful I was that all my friends and family came to support me, or at least the ones that were there, because I was like, you guys didn't

have to be there. You guys didn't have to take a flight. You guys didn't have to drive there. You guys didn't have to come after work, you know, after a long day of work to you know, come celebrate with me. Um my girls, like, you guys didn't have to do that. And and it was a very vulnerable moment for me that I was open to my friends and family and co workers because a lot of like, I'm very private, and a lot of people don't know about my personal life besides, but I obviously allowed them

to know. And I cried because I was like, I never thought that I would be standing on the stage by myself, you know, in my mind I had dreams of how this moment was going to be. But I was just so grateful to look to my right and my left and see so many people that were there, like, because sometimes we focus so much on the negative, and it's like, but if you just stop and really taking what's currently happening, Look how many people came in to

show you love. Look how many people did come here to appreciate the fact that you know that you're here, and you're girls, and just everything overall. So I was grateful for that. Later on, you know, I tried to disconnect my mind from the negativity of the stress of you know, filming and production and and just all the cups that had happened in the event and just enjoy that night, you know, by lad and you and I. We danced, My mom and I we danced. You know,

I danced with as many people as possible. I tried to laugh as much as possible. I I just tried to take in the positive, because normal, you know, the negative will always be there. It's a moment that was just so mad because there was just so many things happening. I was emotionally not there because I felt like, oh, my baby Daddy didn't come, my dad's not here. This is pissing me off. I'm already hormonal. I k everything

my time, like everything is just bad. But then It's like there was a switch in my mind where I was like, you know what, it's really not as bad as it seems. You know, things could have been so much worse. And I was just happy and I really enjoyed my baby shower. And you can see that you enjoyed it. What I love the most was that, man, when you got on that mic, you hosted it, and you're such a great host. We had such a great oh full control of the baby shower, Like I had

so much fun. But like, man, if you were there to see it, like she grabbed the mike, let me give you guys a little vision. He said, where the party at. It's time to party, And it was like that moment, Oh my god. From then on it was the greatest baby shower I've ever been to. It was so beautiful. I mean, and then use the purity of whites? Now, why did you choose white? Is my question? I wanted to do it like that. I felt the same way

like you just said. It was just the purity of of having, you know, everybody come in and white and it was clean and it was very angelic, almost angelic. Is that the word? Yeah? Um, that's the energy that I wanted. I just wanted to be a pure, clean space. And then obviously you don't have to stand down, so I came out in a go dress battle. It was just very nice and I wanted to have a concept.

I also went, you know, o D for the Gender Review party because then I had helicopters and I have fireworks, and you know, I did the most. I brought the whole zoo, like I did a whole production. Um. And then now the other The other thing I'm thinking about is that I told my mom meet him Gender Review baby shower the first year and after that semim on. After that, we're gonna get a from the supermarket, a little candle and cut of the day until you're fifteen. No, no, no, no,

I can't be doing this all the time. What do you think this is? No, you're right. It is a huge production. And I feel about that because Stevie Jr. I'm his second birthday is coming up March eleven, and I'm like, oh my goodness, we're gonna do the second and the third, and it's like you have to keep doing better and better and better, and there's too much stress. So I think I'm just gonna take them to Disney World kind of a ache and call it a day.

That's the good thing about living in Florida. But I mean, you can at least go to Disney World. But that's another question. At two years old, do they still remember? No, but at least they look at the pictures. Yeah, okay, that's true. But I mean the old school way. I don't know about y'all and which which state you may be, but down here Miami, we used to have the Chucky Cheese. Oh my god, remember Chucky Cheese? Yo me? And that you go to the chuck E Cheese, you get a

little bit coach though. You get a little you know, a pizza with all a little kindergarten friends and everybody's having fun and they don't even know what's happening. You are people a little ball that and it's perfect betto these productions every year. I know, maybe it's the excitement of the first time, you know, mom or whatever, because usually I've seen this happen on social media, and I've seen this happening real like when it's your first kid.

What you go over the top after you have your second, third, fourth, Yeah, it's like look, and I definitely missed those days I feel like things have gone is also because of social media. Social media and the standards of how you know, you're supposed to be extras hell and showcase everything, you know, showcase everyone we were capable of doing, and you know,

all this other stuff. But to be honest, if I would have had the opportunity of doing it again, if there were anything I could have done differently, I think that one. I think it would have been really cool.

I think it would have been really really cool, really awesome if I would have been able to done like a zoom invitation or zoom thing and then have all my family and d R or friends that weren't able to actually make it to watch it at least through zoom and we could have all been come and get connected on like a big jumble toron a big screen

or something. I think that would have been super would have it would have been like the Wendy Williams show when she has the audience there, they would all have been there. That would have been my God about it. That's great. Maybe someone's listening and they might you just gave them a great idea. Yeah, I think that that would have been a really cool moment um if anything, I think I would have probably had more food because I was definitely more you know, hungry for other things.

But maybe that was just me craving things. Um. I think that I would had probably Um, I really wanted to dance more and and but in my gender reveal, I dropped it like it was hot and I went down and though I couldn't do it like my like it was just too much. I couldn't dance and enjoy it as much as I wanted to, but I enjoyed watching other people have fun. I think that I also would, like I said, I don't really care too much of

my dad would have been there. Now, I wouldn't have made a difference to me, but it would have made a difference to me if the father and my girls would have actually showed up. I think that that would have been, you know, even even a more special moment, so that later on when they look back into it, they could be like, oh, you know, my dad was there too, but hey, that's part of life. And uh, I don't know. I think that everything came out pretty perfect.

Oh well, one last thing, I think what I then, COVID test outside, Yeah, COVID tests outside, you know, make sure that everybody before they came in has some way of showing their COVID tests were not showing, but just getting it done right there. I think it would have been for the protection of all of us. Thank god that nobody came out. No, I didn't get any news

of anybody that got sake or anything. But I do understand that for health purposes, we have to adapt and understand, whether we like it or not, that you know, we have to protect ourselves for our health, so, you know. But other than that, I really enjoyed just how everything came along. Listen. I felt that you wanted to dance and have fun, and I felt that under energy, just because I know how you are. So I made sure

I went up to her. I told the t J and get classic or I and me and I'm out at our moment and we danced and I made sure she had her moment. You know. It's so yeah, I'm waving a swing thing. We were dancing. We had a grand old time. I think I think it was perfect. Actually, I'm out. I thought your your baby shower for you? You know, it was for you, It wasn't you know? It was your day and your twins days. It doesn't matter whoever was there was meant to be there. It

was just that, you know, and I wanted. I wanted to be I wanted you know, yeah, I wanted to be able to share this, um, this experience with my fans and followers. I just wanted to be able to share with you guys, because I know that you saw some videos, some clips on my social media and a lot of you you know, question asked, hey, what was going on, and basically that's what it was. But um, but you know, I enjoyed it. I had so much fun, and I can't wait for my girls to finally be here.

I can't wait, steed for you to meet them as well. And then later on, I guess their first year will be uh the next big production horses or ponies, and you already know I gotta be extras hell. But after that, I went, oh yeah, after that, yeah, we're gonna wait till your fifteen. You know, it's awesome because I am waiting for like play dates. I know that you know, my see and that would be so fun. I can't wait for play days. I'm out of you know, this

is like an amazing time for you. You know, you're gonna have double the love, you know, And if I could just offer one thing to our kids where everything that we can't do, not one thing wrong. Like my kids love me unconditionally, and I've learned unconditional love through my children. They make me feel so loved and so a part of this world. So I'm just I just

can't wait for the stories. I mean, make sure you guys tune into the future episode is exactly about it when she has the babies, because there's gonna be so much that you're gonna be giving there. Even though I know that some of my some of my listeners are like, ah, we're over the baby's talk already, and I get it. I get it, But it's my first time and I'm excited, and what am I supposed to do that doesn't happen

every day? Women don't have just have twins, you know, all the time, and um and obviously naturally th'mbing, so actually no triplests nonetheless, you know, twins.
