Are You My Father or My Enemy?! | KARAMO
Solomon's search for his biological father stops here at the Karamo show. After 42 years, Solomon is facing off against his potential father Ricky, who abandoned his family, and his mother Rhonda, who has struggled with addiction. Will the results of a DNA test be enough to offer Solomon closure?

That’s a crazy statement. Cause if you come from trash- you’re trash too. Listen, your parents might not have been the best but they gave you life. without them you wouldn’t be here. You can be angry but be respectful.

The fact that it’s hard for his father to take accountability for his personal wrongdoing to his biological son really shows how miserable and selfish he is. So i don’t even blame the son for holding so much anger and hate towards him.

I love how karamo always keeps the focus on the child . He is an adult but he's still the child in his parents lives . Too many children in situations like this never have enough of the focus put on them because it was about the comfort of their parents but like karamo said he didn't ask to be here and none of what his parents had going on was his fault or responsibility to fix . Also so glad he made them apologize for the foolishness they brought into his life .

Karamo is soooo empathetic. His mom didnt hesitate to apologize. I hope she can make amends with her son. He deserves to be happy.
When he told this man he was his son he should have jump up & hug him he should have been so proud that he was a great person. I’m glad they didn’t raise him cause they weren’t good for him . Bless him ❤
Unbelievable! The nasty, ugly, rude comments that the supposed father said were totally inappropriate and unnecessary! He’s just a bitter man! If he loved her he wouldn’t say those things! Makes me sick!
He is a beautiful man with beautiful eyes that looked like they wanted to cry the whole time. This is sad that the senior man couldn’t get past 42 years ago…1981! 1981! Or so. We all make bad choices at some point in our lives. Well now you know for sure and I hope you can get closure. What could have been the beginning of a good thing! Immaturity and stunted growth in a suit. 😢
When the son said the dad comes from trash yet I'm a boss , I know that's right
Karamo is such an amazing man! Kudos to whoever raised him. Some ppl are just stuck in their ways and it’s usually bad ways with certain generations. So many ppl go through this with family but you gotta be selfish and do what’s best for yourself.
That man does not act like he's A MILITARY MAN.
I love karmo he’s classy but still got that hood in him
I can’t stand people that can’t take accountability, it is truly a sickness. I hope that Solomon can forgive him, not for his dad sake, but for himself and that way he can move forward and be at peace within himself, people who wrong you and can’t accept what they have done don’t deserve any space in your mind or soul, so forgive and never forget to set yourself free.
Solomon you're a man of Great Strength keep your composure because it speaks for you besides any male can make a child but he's not a real man nor is he a father until he becomes a provider & protector in this case he FAILED you a baby that came in weighing only 2lbs & the struggle for a baby to live at that weight is VERY REAL WITH MACHINES & TUBES GOING EVERYWHERE how sad but you was a fighter from the start you made it Solomon you have great purpose for being here even now. Love your mother & don't try to live or hold her pass within move Forward. Your dad is a very messy person he said painful things that wasn't necessary to speak he's about self & hopefully he can act like a real father & also apologize to you & your mother.
Ricky stubborn as hell... so glad the son rose above all this later in life..he handsome too❤
Mr Karamo you are really good at settling disputes. It comes very naturally and the people involved consent to what you tell them without arguing. Very good.
There is no need to trash her in a public forum. Her child doesn’t need to be hurt any further.
I wish I could confront my deadbeat father😢
The mama looks like a lighter Cecily Tyson.
That father is horrible..he should have kept quiet and just asked for the results. He didn't have to do all that 😢
Like he said "I came from Trash, But Im a boss, have a good day" he had family that raised him the best they could even with his mama being in the streets and his dad being a bum.
Solomon fine AF I can tell he a MAN 😍💪🏾
The moment I saw the facial structure of both of those guys I knew they were father and son!
The father knew he was that’s why he wasn’t shocked. He act like he wasn’t out there aswell. Military man my tail.
That nasty man...just by the way he sat there like "I'm superior", was a red flag from the very start. He is so arrogant; he'll never apologize to his son, unless one day he crawls from under a rock asking his son to help him out, 'because I'm your father, you ought to help me'
Karamo you handled that great. That old man has learned to point the finger and does not know how to be accountable for his own actions.
I HATE when men try to trash women over their "activities". FYI, you slept with her so what does that say about YOU!?!?! Leave her alone and take responsibility for your part in the equation. You can do that without degrading others.
I would have just found out and moved on from it honestly cause the father doesn't know how to communicate without shaming. He learned how to survive 42+ years without his biological father. Making amends might not be worth the time..
This young man will go far in life , he is a strong man. Both his parents are at fault.

Doesn't the mother have a similarity to Jasmine Guy? The potetnial father was holding onto an improbable nugget that he wasn't father.
I was really hoping that he had found his dad. I'm hurting with and for him. He needs to keep his head up and nose clean. If he ever needs someone to talk to, I'm here!
Whenever someone says something, then goes BUT, it just cancelled whatever was just said. That so called father is a messy person. The mother is a messy person, so therefore their Childs life was a mess that they created and fueled with anger all these years.
This man came from a Father who abandoned him and a mom who ended up in the streets not being there for him 100%...and even when it was proven that he was the father....he didn't say d up and hug this beautiful man of a son he has..sadddd..its your responsibility to be a man and a father to this man...😊
This "child" is classy. He held back so much rage and hurt and his father showed his true colors, blame blame blame others. That child and now adult will never have what he yearns for, not ever, from is bio dad. Never. I hope he can find closure now.
You can see the father still has some serious trauma with the mother. I think they need to settle their differences as grown individuals for the sake of their son
