Pepa is a veteran in the music industry so Kristinia should listen to her advice.  Pepa asks Kristinia about her relationship with Adonis and Kristinia tells her that she has known the producer since she was 19.  Pepa asks about Adonis’ wife and finds it weird that Kristinia doesn’t have a relationship with Adonis’ wife.
