Rapper Shaun Doe

Jamar wasn't impressed with Shaun's initial impression. He felt as if he came off too arrogant with someone who could have possibly helped him get further in his rap career. As the conversation continued Shaun questioned what Jamar had done lately. He told him he didn't need him and the tension grew deeper, forcing Jamar to dismiss Shaun for good.

Later on in the episode while Dana and Jamar were out playing pool, they got into another heated discussion regarding Shaun. Jamar who called the rapper Bozo the clown, advised his wife to try again with another artist. He also added that managing a male artist was out of the question. Jamar made it clear that he wasn't going to accept her being out til 5 or 6 in the morning with another man. No matter how much Dana tried to get her very conservative husband to change his mind he stood by his decision. That's it, That's all!
