Okay, have you heard about this? Last year, Degree changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant. The fans rebel and wanted the old scent back and degree listen and that doesn't happen often. They admitted they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. There's a reason why it's the number one men's antiperspirant. And it's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4. So try it and see what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart, Target and try to OG Cool Rush for yourself.
Sherrill
It will Speaking of, while we're talking about finances, let's get into Amina Butterfly. Y' all remember Amina Butterfly? What was she on New York?
Portia Berto
I love Her. I have loved her ever since she slapped that driver's license down on that table in front of Tara. I have loved her ever since.
Amina Butterfly
Right, Wasn't it?
Portia Berto
I have loved her ever since she sat on that reunion couch and that lady said, how do you feel about Tara having Peter's last baby? I don't, because that's not his last baby. And she stood up and showed her back. I have loved.
Sherrill
Yeah, I remember that scene.
Portia Berto
She has been tearing up the airwaves.
Sherrill
And that's the thing I don't understand. Like, where did her career go? Was it because she chased after Peter so much? Like she has some loyalty to Peter, Man.
Portia Berto
Peter, another one. Peter got something. I don't know what it is. Another. What you got? What are you doing to these women?
Sherrill
What are you doing? I don't want to know, honey.
Portia Berto
The Peter, Tara and Amina saga was. I mean, unmatched.
Amina Butterfly
Yeah, because how's the wife? The side chick. Right. Because he was living with the white. All right. But then not.
Portia Berto
Yeah, bro, that was. That was crazy. The only thing that I can think that almost.
Amina Butterfly
I remember that back in the day.
Portia Berto
It was Stevie, Jocelyn and Mimi. And I still think that Peter, Tara.
Sherrill
And Amina topped it.
Amina Butterfly
You know what I mean?
Portia Berto
Grade A reality tv.
Amina Butterfly
Like, ooh, that was.
Portia Berto
And it was completely real. They was really tussling over Peter.
Amina Butterfly
Yeah, they were.
Sherrill
And why. And I'm like, why is they fighting? Why are they fighting over this? Man?
Portia Berto
Lamb that shit down on the table, bitch. I misses Peter Gunns. Okay, that was great.
Sherrill
That was some good tv. So after losing her home in la, Amina revealed she moved to Germany with her two daughters and is now homeless. She's rebuilding quietly but publicly. So as you all know, if you see, Amina went on social media. She said she. She didn't reach out to Peter. He found out when the world found out that she basically lost her. Her LA home due to financial. You know, she. Her finances are just gone. She has no money, and she was in la.
Amina Butterfly
LA is expensive.
Portia Berto
I was just about to say that, girl.
Sherrill
It's very expensive. So. So Peter found out. Peter came back. He just put up a post probably like an hour ago saying that, you know, basically. Are you playing me? Because I'll send you thousands of dollars every month. Oh.
Amina Butterfly
But not enough for she, you know, rent and everything else in la. Or mortgage.
Portia Berto
Hey, how many thousands? Because Los Angeles is Los Angeles.
Amina Butterfly
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sherrill
My thing is, don't you know, before you just hit ground zero that, you know, money is tight okay, it's time to pull back in. I don't, I mean, she, she's not on, you know, in the blog. She's not in the limelight anymore. You could have moved silently and downsize, moved to another state, got something like, why don't people just, I don't know.
Amina Butterfly
And it could be holding on to something, being in la, you know, because she was, what was that? Loving hip. She was, it was loving hip hop.
Sherrill
New York. New York.
Amina Butterfly
Okay, New York. So to go from New York to LA and then maybe going there to like, you know, make a name for herself, it just didn't work out. Is it really any of our business that she's putting it out there and wants to be private about it, but like publicly speaking on it? I thought that was a little off. But at the same time, I bet you there's more people like this that aren't even honest about their financial situation and statuses. So for her to even just speak up and be like, look, we're homeless. The blessing is she had a fallback plan of going home to family and low key. Germany is looking, you know, overseas is looking a little better, you know what I'm saying? I mean, just to say. And then the blessing is she has somewhere to fall back to. So I'm not opposed to international living anyway. So maybe this is a blessing in disguise. I know one thing about being an English speaker. You can go to Germany if she's German too, or whatever, having dual citizenship, she can teach English and be online, she can teach singing lessons. She can do all these things.
Sherrill
So many opportunities.
Amina Butterfly
Yeah, she. So she could be right there in Germany with her family stacking her chips. Because honestly, this is happening to a lot of people. A lot of people are going back home, they're going back to their family homes and helping them with bills, happening to stack money. Students cannot find a job after getting degrees. So this is actually happening with lots of people. And for her to be a public figure and be honest and say, look, this is my two kids here, my girls, we left, we had to leave. You know, I lost my home, I'm homeless. But guess what, we're in Germany. They made it to Germany, you know what I'm saying? And that could be a better opportunity.
Sherrill
Yeah, Peter said, Peter said he bought them a round trip flight. They supposed to come back in August, but I guess she's not coming back.
Amina Butterfly
Yeah, she can't. If she can put them in school and try to stack some paper, it is what it is, you know, she's.
Portia Berto
Blessing that she has that. That family and that fallback. But I was speaking to what you were saying, Sherrill, about, like, how people find themselves in that situation. What I think sometimes is, like, when you're in the entertainment industry, like, you're already so used to hustling and going from, like, job to job to job. And then like, unfortunately, when you have a certain lifestyle, your income, like, your lifestyle matches your income. But when you're in that field in, in music or TV or whatever, your income fluctuates so much and your lifestyle rarely changes. You really, you're just like, playing catch up to your lifestyle, basically. And she knows she's also a musician, and she's a really, really good musician, a great artist, really talented. So maybe she just wanted to do that or do appearances or make music or, or whatever it is. Like, I don't. I don't know. But I think sometimes, like, the instability of, like, your career or where your base comes from, where your money comes from, your life can sometimes reflect that.
Sherrill
And sometimes you get lost because I can speak on it. I know when I started, you know, the whole reality tv, especially, you know, working with Netflix, it was all about glitz and glam, and it's like, let me pull myself back in. I don't want to live above my means. Like, I know I can afford this with this person and without this person, I look at things. I need to pull myself back in. I caught myself trying to. Well, was living above my means, but I'm very financially responsible, so I pulled myself back in. Like, slow down. Slow your ass down now. Because you got to think about it. When you don't have this person. Yes. Long term, how you going to live? You have a family you got to take care of.
Amina Butterfly
Yeah.
Sherrill
So it's all about making sure that, you know, reality have to kick in. You can't live for. For social media. You can't live for anybody else. You can't live for the entertainment world. You got to live for yourself.
Portia Berto
Sometimes I kind of wonder, like, in those types of situations, we don't actually really know how any of these people live for, like, how she was living. I mean, like, if you.
Amina Butterfly
Don'T know.
Portia Berto
But y' all know, like a 9 to 5, somebody would have put her on the ground, was like, oh, shit. I mean, a butterfly at the FedEx, you know what I mean? So I can understand that.
Sherrill
But y' all, it's the pressure of society. Y' all, y' all are witnesses. It's the pressure of society. The Moment that you don't sit first class when you flying on the flight, they gonna put you on blast. Look what they did to Natalie. Natalie Nunn. The moment that you ain't rocking this, that. And the third, the moment that you sh. They see you shopping in. In Target H and M is the problem.
Portia Berto
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, I don't know how she was like, living like her home or. Or whatever the situation was. So I don't think it was a fact of like, oh, I have to live this way because people are gonna. It could have just been like, just her options income wise might have been limited. More limited than what we think, than what most people think. When you get on tv, it's making a butt ton of money or you this show or because you're standing like, they just assumed you make a lot of money. So if she did go out and get a job, they'd be looking at her crazy.
Sherrill
And it's like reality tv. Y' all know, nothing we didn't make up, we barely made.
Portia Berto
Girl, fuck the movement.
Amina Butterfly
People don't know the facts. They don't know that you don't make much. You know, it's not. You can't depend on that. And it is about other things Post. Like, even me working at the restaurant, I had so many customers. Like, are you. You in wax riches? But what are you doing here? Do you own this? Like, are you. What are you doing? I'm like, I'm actually in school. This is an externship. You know what I mean? So I got that same energy.
Sherrill
They looking at you like, dang, girl, you went from working at Netflix being.
Amina Butterfly
Like, I'm like, I'm actually in school. You know, I'm actually not getting paid. Like, I didn't say all of that, but I'm not, you know, the blessing is I'm able to be afloat. But at the same time, like, you know, it's a big difference of, you know, the fact that you can be this person, this woman. Because I even had to adjust low key. Even just from being married to now being the head of my household. I have to budget separately. I have to do all these different things. It's a change of lifestyle. It's a change of everything. You know what I mean? I'm not living the same way I was when I was in a different income household, you know, so like, it's like saying no more to the children or it's like, no, you just got this, you just got that. And just understanding that the lifestyle and the adjustment has changed. This is normal. And again, look at our administration. You know, we had a scarcity on eggs, for example, and then we had the milk. And then, you know, we are spending money on war. And it's just, it's just a trickle effect that it like there's no Social Security. Social Security won't be an option for us. Yeah, these little things. So it's just the retirement ages are getting longer and further away.
Sherrill
Oh, I thank God I did chose what I did and chose the career I chose. Thank you, Jesus.
Amina Butterfly
Yes, but you're a small percentage, you know what I'm saying? It's a real thing. It's real life. People are losing their homes that they actually paid off, you know, now they can't afford the insurance, you know what I mean?
Portia Berto
So it's just like you can't afford the taxes.
Amina Butterfly
Yeah, yeah. So people who, who were retired, they have tapped into all their 401k and using, you know, we went through Covid, we went through pandemics. We've gone through so much. And so it's an adjustment, you know what I mean, for everyone. And it's tough in social media. We only show what we want to show, you know, we, we whatever the people want to see. That's what we going to highlight. We're going to filter it, we're going to highlight it, bold it, and let y' all see what we got, you know. But in reality, you don't know what anybody's going through.
Portia Berto
We really don't really happy. I'm going to follow her on TikTok and I hope she documents her come up.
Sherrill
I really. Yeah, she's so talented.
Portia Berto
Let it go, girl.
Sherrill
When she, when I saw her, her on the Shade Room, she was like, I don't know what I'm going to do. I don't know how I'm going to make money. I just want to jump through that screen and say, girl, give me your talent because we can make so much money.
Amina Butterfly
Listen, and you said Peter came out and said he gives her money, like a thousand dollars here. Like if you start. Y' all know we're mothers. If you start dividing that up and subtracting and the shoes and the groceries and the this and that. That thousand dollars is not. It's not.
Sherrill
He said thousands.
Amina Butterfly
Oh, I mean, I don't know.
Sherrill
He didn't. He didn't say a thousand. He didn't say. He didn't give an exact number.
Portia Berto
Listen, I'm rooting for Amina because, listen, I Am too. In her loving hip hop era, she made a song she wrote about Peter. It was. It's probably still on my phone, bitch. It's a good song.
Amina Butterfly
It was about.
Sherrill
It was good.
Portia Berto
I think it's called We Got Us or something like that. It's good.
Sherrill
Like, the girl you have to write.
Portia Berto
She can write, she can play, she can sing.
Amina Butterfly
She's just talented.
Portia Berto
Some talented. Her and her sister. That's what I'm saying. Like, even before loving hip hop, like, she had a little motion. She had. She had a situation. Like, she was known in the industry.
Amina Butterfly
Were in the group. No, like something like.
Portia Berto
What is it called? I forgot.
Amina Butterfly
I don't know.
Portia Berto
Is it called Butterfly? I don't know.
Sherrill
It was Butterfly.
Portia Berto
Oh, well, there you go.
Sherrill
See, she go ahead and hit. No, you know how to hit it, girl.
Portia Berto

Sherrill

Portia Berto

Sherrill
Look, I got all this stuff over here rigged up, looking a hot mess.
Portia Berto
Oh, you got to show me your setup, friend. We get off. I want to see it.
Sherrill
I ain't. I'm not doing that. Because I'm not doing that. I'm. Wait till it's all cute.
Portia Berto

Portia Berto
Oh, yeah. My girl been traveling.
Sherrill
Ooh. Living my best life.
Amina Butterfly
Let me ask you.
Sherrill
Living outside my means.
Amina Butterfly
No, that was. I was just about to say. Let me ask y' all this. If you lost everything tomorrow, what was the first three moves you make to rebuild?
Portia Berto
I was about to say something crazy inappropriate. That's not.
Sherrill
I lost everything tomorrow. What was TikTok Shop.
Portia Berto
I'm selling merch on TikTok. Tick tock Chat.
Amina Butterfly
The feet. The feet are going on. The feet are my. My feet are definitely gonna be tomorrow.
Portia Berto
I still have a real estate license, so I'm. Somebody gonna have to let me sell their house.
Amina Butterfly
Yeah.
Portia Berto
Hard on real estate.
Sherrill
I mean, but with real estate, it's hard.
Portia Berto
It is hard, but I'm saying I already have.
Amina Butterfly
My schools are already.
Sherrill
You have your license, but it's hard to sell that first home. So what you gonna do? That first home may not sell in three months. What you doing, Pete? What you doing?
Portia Berto
Shock, Shock. I just told you. Or I could go back to being a bottle girl.
Sherrill
Yep.
Portia Berto
I was a good bottle girl. Too. And I still know the promoters, bitch, they give me a job quick.
Sherrill
I would be a bootlegger.
Portia Berto

Amina Butterfly
I can make plates. They said three. The question was three things. You know, if I got to do. Do something tomorrow.
Sherrill
But when you go get the food, you got to.
Amina Butterfly
And then I would have to. I would have to go purchase it first and then and hustle and sell plates.
Sherrill

Portia Berto
Andre, do you want to be Only Fans couple?
Sherrill
You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna hit them with it because I. I put up a post when I was in Paris of my little walk. And y' all know I have my business phone, and I get Apple pay on my business phone. Somebody said, listen, I ain't even finished show y' all. But I. I took a screen picture of it. Somebody was like, that post just killed me. And Apple paid me $500. So I'm gonna just put on my heels or these legs up, put on a nice little fitted dress, and just hit my little wall.
Portia Berto

You. I'm just like, oh, thank you. Hang up the phone.
Amina Butterfly
So you, you, and you, Andre, would be one of them. Is one of them couples on Only Fans. Yeah.
Portia Berto
I mean, probably not. It's a nice thought, though.
Sherrill
You mean probably not. I mean, if.
Portia Berto
Listen to keep my salvation intact, you know, I do love the Lord, but I'm just saying it's tempting.
Sherrill
No, because we know it. The Lord knows our heart.
Portia Berto
Okay, well, I don't know how long I feel about my booty camera and my, my marital sex life on their phone. I don't know how he feels about that.

Hey, so we all make mistakes, but owning up is the right thing to do. You know a Degree Cool Rush deodorant. Well, last year they changed the formula and it did not go well with their fans.
Megan
Degree's whole thing is it turns up the sweat and odor protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does, because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the original formula. One guy even started an online petition.
Cherelle Rosado
And degree Listen, they admitted they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp, and fresh. It's back in Walmart, Target, and other stores now for under $4.
Megan
There's a reason why it's been the number one men's antiperspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people were not happy when it changed. So if you never tried it, it might be a good time to see what the fuss is about.
Cherelle Rosado
Head to your local Walmart or Target to try the OG degree Cool Rush for yourself.
Amina Butterfly
Well, speaking of relationship and couples, I know y' all been tuning in to Love Island. Let's talk about it, ladies.
Sherrill
I haven't, though. No, I haven't.
Amina Butterfly
But you've been hearing about it. I know you.
Sherrill
I wanted my kids to watch it, okay?
Portia Berto
Going on every day, I hear about it.
Amina Butterfly
We're not gonna lie. The girls are locked into Love island like it's the stock market voting on other people's breakups, getting invested in men named Zach or to Zach with a C or Zach with a K. And Roman romanticizing chaos. Why do we care so deeply about strangers finding love on tv?
Sherrill
Do we have this? It's broadcasted.
Portia Berto
Do we.
Amina Butterfly
It's for our entertainment purposes. I think everyone's a hopeless romantic, right? Like, everyone wants to see people, like.
Portia Berto
But are they really romantic? Because these are strangers.
Amina Butterfly
That's how I look at it, too. Because I was like, why is such and such crying? Because I got. I got hip to it a little later on, right before, like, you know, the Huda and the Jeremiah situation. And I was, like, wanting to do this. I wanted to be like, what's going on here? Like, shaking them. I'm like, it's only been how long? How many days?
Sherrill
I feel like when you're forced in a. In a situation in time, it's like you only have a few to pick from. I feel like you intentionally start to attract to someone, and then you begin to like them. It's like you're isolated, and it's like it's a forced connection, force connection.
Amina Butterfly
And you're right. That's the whole point of being on Love island, right? Is to find a connection and ultimately win it. Correct.
Portia Berto
So you win it if you find yourself. Like, you win if you find Your person.
Amina Butterfly
I think so. I. This is my first season.
Portia Berto
Okay.
Sherrill
Yeah, I know. I'm. I'm back in the old. I'm used to the old school shows. Love shows like Flavor. Flavor.
Amina Butterfly
Yeah. Flavor Flav was mine.
Sherrill
Those were Chance of Love.
Portia Berto
Real Chance of Love.
Sherrill
Real Chance of Love.
Amina Butterfly
That's playing the plane. I like watching it now. I love New York.
Portia Berto
Was my jam.
Amina Butterfly
Yes. I love New York.
Sherrill
New York, Delicious.
Portia Berto
Yeah.
Sherrill
Those were my favorite.
Amina Butterfly
But we did. We wanted him to be in love, too. Like, we were, like, fighting for him to be in love, but I'm like, who?
Sherrill
Flavor Flames. And they were really fighting.
Portia Berto
Yeah.
Sherrill
Tussling.
Portia Berto
Who did he end up with? He picked Delicious, right?
Amina Butterfly
Hoops.
Sherrill
Hoops.
Portia Berto
But there was multiple seasons.
Sherrill
Yeah, he picked Hoops. He picked. I think he did pick Delicious, didn't.
Portia Berto
Yeah, Pick Delicious.
Sherrill
And Delicious is looking good. I follow her now on Instagram. Delicious, baby. Delicious.
Portia Berto
Look.
Sherrill
Delicious.
Portia Berto
Yeah, definitely. He played in New York Face twice or thrice. How many times did he play in New York Face?
Sherrill
A few times. But New York was funny. She is the reality queen.
Amina Butterfly
I was just about to say one person who kept it going and really has, like, you know, like, just continued on this trek. It's been her. She's been in this for a long time. She's holding down her own. When she, like, on the Apprentice and everything, like, all these shows.
Portia Berto
I love.
Sherrill
Her mom was House of Villains. What's her Villains?
Amina Butterfly
Yeah, she's definitely capitalized and made a name for herself. A household name for sure. Past generations, because I don't know, my kids never watched Flavor of Love. That's what we grew up on, which was awesome to watch best.
Portia Berto
Definitely.
Sherrill
I don't know. I don't know. It's something about. About love shows, dating shows that just draw people in, and it just.
Amina Butterfly
They feel invested.
Sherrill
Yes.
Amina Butterfly
Yeah.
Portia Berto
I mean, one thing that connects everybody, like, you can watch singing competition shows, but everybody can't sing. You can watch, you know, those Survivor type shows, but the outside ain't everybody's jam. But, like, everybody loves love.
Amina Butterfly
Yeah.
Sherrill
Yeah, but.
Portia Berto
And also, I just think it's fun to just. Just watch people overreact about strangers because, I mean, you really don't know.
Sherrill
And we get invested.
Amina Butterfly
We really upset. I was mad last night. I'm not gonna hold y' all. I was like, this. Like, this was not fun. We were very upset and frustrated because we're like, what's going on? And it's all nugget.
Sherrill
We need to tune in.
Portia Berto

Podcast Summary: Club Shay Shay - "Humble Baddies - Part 2: Amina Buddafly is going broke and all the Love Island drama!"
Release Date: June 26, 2025
Hosts: Portia Berto, DJ Wells, Cherelle Rosado, Sherrill, and Amina Butterfly
The episode kicks off with the hosts briefly introducing the main topics, setting the stage for an engaging discussion on Amina Butterfly's financial struggles and the latest drama surrounding the reality TV show Love Island.
The primary focus of the episode centers around Amina Butterfly's recent financial downturn. Here's a detailed breakdown:
Loss of Residence and Move to Germany
Amina reveals that she lost her home in Los Angeles due to financial difficulties and has relocated to Germany with her two daughters. This move marks a significant shift as she navigates financial instability while trying to rebuild her life both privately and publicly.
Quote:
"After losing her home in LA, Amina revealed she moved to Germany with her two daughters and is now homeless. She's rebuilding quietly but publicly."
(04:06)
Peter’s Involvement and Insufficient Support
Peter, presumably a figure from Amina's past (likely linked to Love Island), reenters the picture, offering financial assistance. However, his support is deemed inadequate to cover the high living costs of Los Angeles.
Quote:
"Peter came back and he put up a post saying, 'Are you playing me? Because I'll send you thousands of dollars every month.'"
(04:43)
Challenges of Financial Management in the Entertainment Industry
The hosts delve into how professionals in the entertainment sector often face fluctuating incomes, making it challenging to maintain a consistent lifestyle. Amina's situation exemplifies the volatility faced by those whose earnings are unstable.
Quote:
"In the entertainment industry, your income fluctuates so much, and your lifestyle rarely changes. You're just playing catch up to your lifestyle."
(07:02)
The conversation shifts to personal anecdotes and broader financial lessons:
Balancing Multiple Jobs and Financial Stability
Sherrill shares her experience of having to balance multiple jobs to ensure financial stability, emphasizing the importance of not living beyond one's means.
Quote:
"I caught myself trying to live above my means, but I pulled myself back in because I need to think about the long term."
(08:51)
Advice on Managing Finances
The hosts discuss practical steps to manage finances, such as maintaining multiple income streams and being cautious about relying solely on one source of income.
Quote:
"If someone tells you to quit your job and relies on providing just enough, that's a red flag."
(35:00)
Amidst the financial discussions, the hosts highlight Amina's artistic abilities and potential paths for her comeback:
Acknowledging Amina’s Talent
Portia praises Amina's musicianship, suggesting that her skills could open new doors for her financially.
Quote:
"She's really, really good musician, a great artist, really talented."
(07:28)
Support for Amina's Rebuilding Efforts
The hosts express their full support for Amina, encouraging her to leverage her talents to regain financial footing.
Quote:
"I’m rooting for Amina because she can write, she can play, she can sing."
(14:44)
In this segment, the hosts discuss a cautionary tale about financial manipulation within relationships:
Amanda’s Story of Being Finessed
The group recounts Amanda from Ohio’s experience where her partner fraudulently paid her rent, leading her to quit her second job, ultimately resulting in eviction and heartache.
Quote:
"He paid the first month’s rent and told her to quit her second job. Next thing she knows, she’s getting eviction letters and he’s pulling side into a room with another girl."
(33:55)
Identifying Financial Red Flags
They emphasize the importance of maintaining financial independence and recognizing early signs of manipulation.
Quote:
"If someone tells you to quit your job and relies only on partial support, that’s a red flag."
(35:00)
The hosts transition to discussing the ongoing drama in Love Island, offering their insights and personal opinions:
Engagement with Love Island
Amina and the others share their frustrations and entertained observations about the show's dynamics, particularly the forced connections and superficial relationships.
Quote:
"They’re locked into Love Island like it's the stock market, voting on other people's breakups, getting invested in men named Zach or Zach with a C or Zach with a K."
(23:18)
Personal Views on Dating Shows
The hosts express mixed feelings about reality dating shows, debating their entertainment value versus the authenticity of the relationships portrayed.
Quote:
"Do we really care so deeply about strangers finding love on TV? It’s for our entertainment purposes."
(23:49)
Proposals for Their Own Dating Show
In a lighthearted moment, the hosts joke about creating their own dating show where they would have control over the selection process.
Quote:
"We could have our own show. We pick from the men."
