Speaking candidly about her time on the series, Naturi Naughton opened up on an intense row between Tasha and Ghost in season four.
Naughton revealed one of the toughest scenes to film occurred when the St Patricks deal with the death of their daughter, Raina (Donshea Hopkins).
She said: “For me the first scene I think of is a scene in season four, I forget the name of that episode, but Ghost and Tasha are in the car.
“They're having a conversation about how Raina is dead and Omari is like 'I know!'”

Ghost briefly abandons his calm and stoic persona and swears at Tasha, momentarily breaking down over the death of their daughter.
Raina was killed by the corrupt cop Ray Ray (Marcus Callender), though Tariq initially covers it up as he was the one he was really after.
In the heart-wrenching moment in season four, Tasha warns Tariq not to lie to his parents if he knows anything about Raina’s death.
She then explodes at her husband Ghost, forcing him to finally confront the tragic death of their daughter.

Naughton went on: “It's such a famous moment because sometimes my friends meet me and they'll say 'I know!'”
As well as proving a turning point in the St Patrick family dynamic, Naughton also revealed a deeply personal reason why the dialogue was so difficult to deliver.
She continued: “It was hard for me to do that because I was actually five months pregnant in that scene.”
