23. Two years

💿
November 23rd 1990

I missed so damn much on tour. Hearing about things is completely different from actual seeing it. While on tour New Edition reunited. It was huge. The black community went insane over it.

Now we all know shit was insane behind the scenes there was nothing but drama. Ronnie said Bobby was a complete asshole.

Bobby said it was bullshit. He said he tried everything to keep the peace. Do I believe him? Sorta. He probably tried and failed. Failed badly. At least he tried. Right?

They performed at the MTV music awards. That was actually the first time I saw any of them since before I started tour.

Ronnie, Mike, and Ricky started a new group out of New Edition called Bell Biv DeVoe aka BBD. They came out with an album in March. It was tight I can't lie. Their biggest hit so far is Poison.

My personal favorite is Do me! Another hit. They both reached 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 this year.

Ralph came out with a solo album, something he's been wanting to do for a while. I remember his telling me about it but saying he didn't want the other members to feel like he was abandoning them. The album came out 3 days ago although Sensitivity was released in October. Its was the first single from his solo debut. It's amazing by the way.

Johnny also came out with a solo album. It was released in April. My favorite so far is Rub you the right way. Its a hit but everyone's buzzing over My my my, which is a great song don't get me wrong I just think Rub you the right way clears My my my.

Gosh im so proud of them.

"It's been 8 months." I said staring at the men in front of me playing pool.

"It's coming." Ricky said.

"Nigga soon is not 8 months. Y'all haven't even written any lyrics, no rough drafts, no beats, no ideas, nothing!"

"Yeah well Bobby been distracted with shit."

"With Whitney he means."

"I still can't believe she gave Bobby, out of all dudes a chance." Johnny said.

Whitney and Bobby started dating last year. They met at the soul train awards.

"You telling me! Bobby doesn't even seem like Whitneys type."

I shrugged "Bobby can be very sweet. Underneath the complete whore and crackhead, he's thoughtful."

They all smacked their lips and waved me off.

"What!"

"She always defending him B." Mike said. Wow talk about me like im not sitting right here.

"Mike you go straight to hell okay?"

He chuckled.

Ronnie walked away from the pool table and pulled a chair over to sit next to me. He stole my drink from my hand and sipped some of it.

"With the way shit was going when he joined us on tour, I don't see us doing this album." Ronnie said.

"Real shit. Dude wasn't taking nothing seriously." Ralph said.
