Scene 4:

D9 meeting

April 8, 2023

9:00 PM

St. Louis, Missouri | The Ritz-Carlton Conference Room

*The Midwest Spring Jam Fest is this weekend and D9 will be the main event for Sunday and the Jam Fest’s last show. The members have a discussion to go over the show. Zabi walks them over material*

Zabi:

“I want to say, me and Farah’s shoot was successful this afternoon as we had no interruptions *coughs* (whispers) Sorayah. Anyways, is there something you want to say to someone in here?

(Looks mad as fuck)

Sorayah:

“I’m sorry, but I’m not apologizing.”

Farah:

“Why when I have never done a fucking thing to you,”

Sorayah:

“I just don’t think you’re that good and I have an opinion you know.”

Jenny:

“See bitch this is exactly why people attack you because of shit like this.”

Baron:

“Ladies, ladies we’re arguing so much, but this is exactly what they want you to do. The world is so divided right now like chill the fuck out. I can hook you up with my dealer, he’ll have you s-”

Both Jenny and Sorayah:

“SHUT THE FUCK UP”

*Robbie laughs in the back*

Zabi:

“ENOUGH WITH YOU TWO BITCHES”

“I’m seriously about to leave both of y’all off of Sunday’s card if you don’t shut up. Sorayah, Farah is a god given talent, who’s been through a rough time in life. Every one here has a ‘why’ for doing something with their lives, and she is no different. It’s either you apologize, or I can gladly cut ties.”

Sorayah:

(Gets up from chair)

“I guess I’m going back to Atlanta”

(Proceeds to walk out)

Marcus:

“I’ll go and try to talk to her.”

(Walks out of the room)

Zabi:

“Now looking at the card. There will be some solo performances, while we will be debuting two new jawns. We will open with A Dream Is A Wish, me and Farah will be doing Forever and Broken, Annaelise will have Take Me Away, Baron gets his time with Kingdom will all the emo fucks, Gen Me has All About You, Song Li will have a piece of her chosen, the girls you will have a group act and then to end, me and the guys will be performing our new recorded song We Got It to end off. Is that clear?”

Everybody:

“Yes”

Zabi:

“We are on at 8 sharp. Be there by 1 pm as we will be rehearsing, wardrobe, makeup for those, testing sound and getting in a dinner before performing. Please don’t drawl as we need to open up 2023 in high fashion. Jonah!”

*Zabi calls over Jonah, the label’s PR rep*

“Get on the phone with media, and get your team do a press release on Sorayah not being available for the show tomorrow. All over socials too.”
