May 6, 2023

Manheim, Pennsylvania | Spooky Nook Sports

1:00 P.M.

*Zabi stops by Spooky Nook to go watch his cousin, Maya and sponsored team, RPN Factory play. Before he enters the facility, he is dropped off in a Maybach Landaulet by Rick. Zabi is trying to make the 1:30 game on time, but fans of all ages swarm him at the door and embarrassingly enough - grown ass men. He eventually reaches the court his team is on and watches the game*

*The game passes by and The Factory won, 62-25 against a top team from New England*

Post-Game around 2:25 P.M. as Zabi is taking pictures with players at the tournament:

Random group of players:

“Thanks Mr.Zab.”

Zabi:

“No problem y’all, stay in school!”

Random player 2:

“So when is Sorayah coming back?”

Zabi:

“Sorry, I wish I could answer that, but it’s not an appropriate time.”

Maya:

“Z!” *rushes over to hug her cousin*

Zabi:

“Maya oh my gosh you’ve gotten big.”

Maya:

“Yeah cous,” *Punches Z in his chest* “I’m 6’1” now, get on my level bitch”

Zabi:

“I am 6’4”, try again. I see you been working on your game though, how’s high school ball so far?”

Maya:

“Good good. I just won a state championship at NEPA, and was recently named 2A Player of the Year. Have a couple offers from Maryland, Rutgers and Virginia Tech and other Power 5 schools, but I should be listing my top 5 soon. Just can’t believe senior year is around the corner. This shit flies fast.”

Zabi:

“Heard you.”

Maya:

“How’s ya music shit going? My friends are always asking about you *laughs*.

Zabi:

“Issa lot of bullshit right now, but just trying to keep things together. Fame comes with a price.”

Maya:

“Heard you. But what the fuck is up with some of these artists under you?”

Zabi:

“Mimi, I get the same questions from your aunt every week *laughs*. She be tuned into all of that shit. But, I will say some muthafuckers might get weeded out when I get back. The empire is turning into a reality show, but I gotta take control at the end of the day.”

Maya:

“Okay, okay, periodt do your thing. You still talking to one jawn tho? The Asian girl?”

Zabi:

“Yeah me and Jenny are still coo. She almost came with me, but I told her I wanted to come home by myself to clear my head. She’s doing all my executive shit at the moment, the papers, directing and about to sign this new artist from KC. The girl is real raw, but came to our show a month ago.”

Maya:

“Jamfest right?”

Zabi:

“Yup we killed that shit, I wish you could’ve stopped by but these travel prices are insane.”

Maya:

“Well, I’m not as rich as you yet. I will be when this NIL hit though *starts making aye noises*.”

Zabi:

“Y’all have it so much better than us now with ball. Kids getting paid now? Y’all so spoiled.”

Maya:

“Aye, what can I say. Head to the cafe with me though, I’m starving I ain’t eat this morning.”

Zabi:

“Aight bet.”
