The 'Nasty B**ches' Members

Brandy played Naomi, also known as Xplicit Lyrics. Naomi thought that the group's end would not affect her career, but it wasn't so. The group reuniting is her second shot at the spotlight, and she doesn't want to miss it.

Eve's character, Brianna, takes after the rapper. She was called Professor Sex in the '90s and rapped about money, sex, and living large. But her position as a wife and mother-of-five now has left her wondering if she's still got her much loved swagger.

Naturi Naughton played Jill, a.k.a Da Thrill; she was a rapper who lived a fast life that almost caused her early demise. She had a bad drug habit that could have killed her until she got a lid on the addiction. Now she's a catholic and seems to be enjoying her peaceful life with her husband in Montana. However, things might not be as they seem.

The fourth member was Valeria, known as Butter Pecan, and played Nadine Velazquez. Valeria was added to the group when they rose to fame and started to be seen as the face of the group.
