– Trina, have you planned your meeting event yet? What are we doing?
TRINA: I think we should do something fun for the ladies tonight.
– Ooh.
TRINA: Sexy? Girls’ party. Girls night. Just girls, so I’ll see you tonight.
The family reunion edition was a little different. It was almost family – you know, everyone who was related – that kind of environment. We were all in the bubble, so we shot in Arizona, where we couldn’t, like, leave the complex – like, the resort. We were all there. We couldn’t leave. We had to test COVID several times.
And it was just a different kind of free vibration. Me – it was the first time that I met many cast members. So, you know, it was just – just meeting everyone. But it was too hot. It was very welcoming. These were not difficult times. It was just a kind of love. You know, I didn’t expect this. I really didn’t know what to expect when I got there. But I was happy that that was the energy that was exhibited.
– [INAUDIBLE] let’s see the dress, Cardi! Let’s see the dress!
TRINA: Especially the hip hop girls, I will honestly say, they gave me credit, honestly– they shared some kind of little story or little thing that I did that inspired them, or did something to lighten them up, or something they said, oh, man . I remember that, x, y, z. So I … I have to give them credit for that, you know? From the biggest to the smallest, from the new girls to the ones who are, like, big.
So, I’m one of those who can say – I can say that girls give me credit, because I hear it all the time. You know, I hear that in songs. I hear that in interviews. I see when I [INAUDIBLE]. I’m one of them who’s been, you know, like that all along. That’s because I always give love. So you know, if – if I’m not getting love, then I really don’t even realize it, because I’m too busy focusing on the love I’m getting. So if I’m not, I don’t even – you know, it doesn’t matter.
