It's a comedy, so throwing preposterous plotlines together is understandable.
Lead AM is quickly identified as the whistle-blower despite using a pay phone, and his bank accounts are frozen, so when his former girlfriend wants to pay him for sperm for herself and her lesbian partner, he has little choice. When she gets pregnant, other lesbians of color want what she got, so she brings them to him for a 10% finder's fee. The preposterous part: she brings them 5 women at a time.
In the c.track (and the cash graphics of the movie's opening and closing credits), SL justifies the union of these plotlines (the cash for sperm, and the misdeeds of AM's prior employer) by the commonality of $$.
This film has the SL signature heavy jazz music score by Terence Blanchard.
