## Caption

The fellas are back on the sofa for a special holiday episode — and this one hits different. Brian “B-Mac” McIntosh sits down with Michael Rainey Jr. (POWER), Julian Horton (Netflix’s Beauty in Black), and hip-hop icon Jermaine Dupri for a raw, hilarious, and unexpectedly heartfelt conversation about success, sacrifice, and stepping into the next chapter of life.

As we close out the year, the guys open up like never before.
Michael Rainey Jr. reflects on saying goodbye to Tariq St. Patrick and what it really took to grow up in front of the world. Julian Horton talks about the blessings that come right on time, how he landed the role of Roy, and why gratitude and meditation keep him grounded. And Jermaine Dupri keeps it real about starting young, co-parenting, and whether he truly gets the respect he deserves after decades of shaping the culture.

From career-defining moments to the culture of Atlanta’s iconic Magic City, to the pressure fame puts on family and friendships, this episode is equal parts funny, honest, and inspiring. The fellas give each other their flowers, reflect on their biggest wins, and drop gems to carry into the new year.

This is the holiday check-in you didn’t know you needed — only on For The Fellas.
