SUMMARY
Now that Karrine is away from Kool G Rap, she is getting even more involved in the Rich and Famous scene. She forms a relationship with Ice-T as well as lands a movie role in the movie A Man Apart starring Larenz Tate. She also starts a relationshop with Ja Rule, a famous rapper in the early 2000s,all the while neglecting her one year old son Naiim. She leaves Naiim with her abusive ex husband for weeks and even months at a time. Her life is being consumed by the party life and her latest escapades with famous men. She realizes that the men are only for a short time of pleasure but, for the time being, she doesn't care and continues to drink, take drugs, and party.
QUOTE
"The only beacon of light was my son and my relationship with papa. He was all I had left. Back then, I just couldn't stand the idea of being alone" (Steffans 121).
REACTION
Karrine by this time does not have her priorities straight and neglects to take care of her son or see him frequently. The quote above does not specify wether the "he" that she is referring to is papa or her son (which disturbs me a little bit). Karrine is obviously lonely in the industry and is aware of that fact but she just needs constant attention and affection to distract her from the fact that she is alone. To me, Karrine's life is sort of spiraling out of control but she doesn't know the severity of it yet.
