Day 35: Grinding, Jealousy And Side Talk

There has never been a Saturday Night Party without the drama that followed. This one wasn’t an exemption. This time, it started with Ike.

He was angry with Mercy for letting Joe grind on her at the party. To make him pay for his offence, he stormed the room looking for Joe whom he said he would beat up. But Mercy managed to drag him back into the room. Could this be his way of impressing her or just an alcohol-fueled rage?

Ice Cream MIA

After the party, Seyi kept ranting about his drink. Talking to no one in particular, he went on questioning why anyone would take his drink for no reason. In the garden, he complained to Tacha first before moving on to Sir Dee, explaining why he was angry with whoever took his drink. His anger at his missing drink must have gotten the best of him and that was why he decided to take out his rage at Mercy in the kitchen for taking a large chunk of meat. Mercy, unsure of why Seyi was particularly mad, decided to apologise and even offered to return the meat, but that wasn't enough to pacify Seyi.

Just when we thought that this was over between the two, we saw Ike hurling curse words at Seyi in the garden. He was saying over and over again, ‘F*ck the ice cream nigga’. It was after Seyi remarked that Mercy had gone to report him to her boo, that we got the full story behind Seyi's anger. Apparently, It wasn't only his drink that had gone missing, his ice cream had also grown wings and disappeared. In a fit of rage, and probably to defend his woman's honour, Ike lurched at Seyi with intent to get physical, but Sir Dee, Frodd and Omashola were there just in time to hold him back and keep him from earning himself another Strike.

Here Comes Frodd with more Fuel

Like the Drama wasn't enough, Frodd decided to add a little more fuel to the already heated situation in the House. Frodd who had quite a bit of pent-up animosity towards Seyi decided this was the best time to bring up the issues we had with him. What was questionable was his motive of bringing up said issues just after Seyi had left the garden. Tacha who happened to be there and wasn't going to hang around idly while Frodd made those comments about her new best friend, Seyi. What ensued next was another shouting match between Tacha and Frodd, but mostly Tacha. She clearly didn't approve of Frodd talking about Seyi behind his back and insisted he man up and go say it in front of Seyi. What is puzzling here is the new-found solidarity between Tacha and Seyi. Was she really sticking up for her friend or just irritated by Frodd. Let's not forget that these two have a history. Anyway, it was a good thing Omashola stepped in with humour to keep the situation from escalating.

The after-party Drama is fast becoming a permanent item on the Pepper Dem Gang menu and they never fail to dish it out to us every Saturday. So, come next week Saturday, we will be back to make our order of 'Drama Filet mignon' with a dash of Suya pepper.
