In the video, we see Jeannie and Monaco in their adorable Halloween costumes, but we flashback to a month prior when they rescued a little red spider. Throughout the video, we see them feeding the spider and playing with the spider, all leading up to them releasing the spider back where they found her, along with Monaco giving an adorable goodbye to the spider with her raspy voice that fans adore.

Not only does she say, “Bye Sahra, I miss you. Time to go home,” but we’re also treated to an adorable voiceover from Monaco, telling Sahra has show “inspidered her” on Halloween. Then, we end the video with Monaco and Jeannie walking away, waving to the camera!

For those who don’t know, back in Jan. 2022, Mai and her ex-husband Jeezy welcomed their daughter Monaco Mai-Jenkins into the world.

During a Nov 2022 interview with PEOPLE, Mai said, “I used to be, well, I still am a boss, I can get it done by myself, but I ain’t that bossy by myself as a mom, I need help.”

She added, “I need my mom giving me advice, I need all the other moms around this area to tell me what you do with a 10-month-old. Every other week there’s some new thing that comes up with her that I got to ask and check about and I call, I listen to my friends and my pediatrician before I listen to the internet or Google. So, I’ve learned that you really need that village.”
