Song information

The song opens up with Ronald Isley (Mr. Biggs) returning from to his goddaughter Kelly. In tears, Kelly says she just discovered that her best friend had been sleeping with her husband (portrayed by R. Kelly). Outraged to hear this, Biggs tells Kelly to call up her ex so he can talk to him. Kelly reluctantly does so and the song ends with Biggs scolding her ex for what he did while Kelly says she doesn't want him anymore.
