In _Hustle and Flow_, why is Nola so upset after D-Jay has her sleep with the store owner to get the more expensive microphone? Previously in the film, we see her hooking with no problem, but she comes out of the store and has a complete breakdown, screaming things like _Don’t ever ask me to do something like that again_!

Why was she so upset at what appears to be a routine job?
