Thirsty makes Kennedy breakdown

Lucious’ lawyer, Thirsty Rawlings, doesn’t play when it comes to protecting Empire Entertainment.  Kennedy and her lawyer meet with Thirsty and Hakeem for a deposition.  Thirsty asks Kennedy how many alcoholic beverages she drank by the time she arrived to Leviticus.  Kennedy says two and then changes her answer to three.  Hakeem proclaims that she didn’t pay for the drinks, she got them for free.

Hakeem’s attitude towards Kennedy changes after he sees Thirsty make her breakdown.  The incident inspired the rapper to record a new track.  Check out the inspiration for Hakeem’s song, “Special”:
