Ikechi tells the group that he’s not used to being with someone who’s not laid-back. Not only does he think that Emem is not laid-back, but he thinks she’s aggressive.
“I’m from the south so I’m used to something a little different,” says Ikechi who says Emem gives him interview questions. “I mean I feel like you have to be aggressive to do the things you doing.”
Emem gives her husband more complimentary adjectives and says he’s the opposite of aggressive because he’s nonchalant. Ikechi takes issue with the connotation of the word nonchalant, and Emem’s friend says she doesn’t agree with the term aggressive.

“Y’all gotta stop calling Black women aggressive, there’s this negative connotation,” adds Emem.
Her friend counters, however, that she’s actually being aggressive with her reaction to the term.
