Tariq Is Still A Knucklehead
Source: Starz
The relationship between these two has been rocky for a while now. It doesn’t get any better in season 5 and looks like it has reached its boiling point. Tasha, Ghost, and Riq sit down for a much-needed discussion about exactly how they got to the point where they are now. Tasha wants answers, and deservingly so, she lost her child and the one person who knows why isn’t saying anything.
She asks her brat of a child why Ray Ray was following him and if Ray Ray killed Raina, Riq being as annoying as he possibly can and is still mum on the matter and doesn’t say anything. Visibly tired of his son’s sh*t, Ghost chimes in instructing his son to tell his mother about his accurately described “punk ass life of crime.” Ghost reveals that Kanan told him everything. Tasha is shocked to find out that Kanan was even involved in the first place.
Ghost explains that Kanan is not the one to be mad at because the culprit is Dre. Ghost asks his knucklehead son how did Dre know Ray Ray and why would he send him (a kid) to confront him? Instead of answering his father’s questions, Riq focuses on being labeled a kid which leads to Ghost losing control and like any Black parent reminds his son by saying “yes the f*ck you are.” Putting some fear in his son, Riq finally opens up and starts talking.
In what was one of the best moments of the premiere, Dre hops up and asks his father what would he have done in the situation as Tasha pleads with her son to tell her why Raina never spoke about what was going on. But, Riq clams up again. Having seen enough, Ghost answers for him and says “because he told her not to” and says his son is “stuck on stupid” before subsequently blaming Riq for his twin sister’s death.
Riq proceeds to make the one mistake no Black child should do to their angry parents, and that is to try and walk away from them during an argument. Ghost immediately follows after him, grabs Riq and throws him up against a wall before Tasha can separate them. Riq retreats to his room leaving his parents to argue amongst themselves. Not finished dishing out blame, Ghost says to Tasha, “that she wasn’t watching him” before walking out in a fit of silent rage.
We also see just how ruthless Tariq is now, while at his own sister’s funeral under the guise of grieving he warned Dre about his father and uncle’s planned hit on him. In the words of 50 Cent, “GET THE STRAP” for this kid. He needs his ass whooped all up and down NYC.
