Syleena Tells Nicci To “Get The Stepping!” ‘R&B Divas’ [RECAP]

The “R&B Divas” are back for another season, this time with two new divas joining the cast: Latocha Scott and Angie Stone! The first episode set the tone for this upcoming drama filled season, and although Faith Evans was noticeably missing from this episode, the ladies didn’t fail to bring the drama without her. Check out the recap below.

Get To Steppin’!

Although Faith Evans didn’t appear on this week’s episode, we’re able to eavesdrop on a conversation between her and Syleena Johnson indicating that some big news is coming which I’m sure will be revealed in this season! After her phone call, Syleena decided that she wanted the ladies to go on tour together and invited all of the girls over to discuss her idea. She attempted to reach out to Nicci several times, leaving her message after message to let her know about the meeting but, for some reason Nicci never returned Syleena’s phone call.

Interestingly enough, these two still haven’t resolved their tension from last season and it looked like Nicci had no shame in stirring the pot a little bit more. Syleena decided to go through with the meeting and was surprised when Nicci actually showed up for the meeting! Just when we thought the girls were attempting to move on from the drama of last season, Syleena brought up the touring idea and the girls began arguing. Nicci wasn’t impressed and Syleena felt as though she was trying to steal her shine. Things escalated and ended with Syleena kicking Nicci out of the house in good old Martin Lawrence style, “get to steppin’!” So much for letting the past go!

Same Ol’ Keke

Things with Keke haven’t changed much. She’s still pretty obnoxious and along with the other ladies, didn’t like Syleena’s idea of touring together. Her husband, Michael, is still her manager and the two of them still go everywhere together. While she’s rehearsing for an upcoming performance, Keke got offended when she was asked to be more “professional” and get serious about her work. Keke wasn’t trying to hear any criticism during her performance rehearsal and stormed out of the studio without accomplishing ANYTHING. Keke’s diva mode is still in full effect I see!

Preparing For The Trumpet Awards

Despite all of the bickering between the other ladies, Monifah was in a great place in her life. She has been in a relationship with her girlfriend for three years and was very confident in her self and her career. When it was time to prepare for the Trumpet Awards where the ladies would be doing a tribute to Chaka Khan, she politely put Nicci in her place for still holding a grudge against Syleena for “mushing” Monifah previously. Monifah wasn’t buying the fact that Nicci was upset about the “mush” and knew that it had to be more to the story. Yes, Nicci is obnoxious, but she’s not THAT crazy. Finally, it was time for the Trumpet Awards and since Faith was absent, Lotocha Scott filled in as her replacement. The ladies pulled off their performance perfectly and brought Chaka Khan to tears! Despite all of their drama, these ladies can definitely put on a show!
