Starting point is 00:01:13 Hold on one second. A little topic list. Where we at with it? Okay. So I got a shit ton of updates on the Jay-Z thing. That shit is going crazy today. Other than that, let me see. Yeah, 50 Cent did a pretty interesting interview on,
Starting point is 00:01:38 there's two of them floating around. One, he did with Cam, another he did with Big Boy. And then, yeah, we didn't get a, the boy wondering mustard i wanted to do that one as well there's some updates on that ceo killer looks like i thought my boy was gonna go in peace he's now shouting shit out while he's getting ushered into court so he looks like he has a you know either a message to send to either other people or i don't know if he's trying to say he's innocent but yeah other than that um we have some young thug updates and yes um NBA
Starting point is 00:02:09 young boy was officially sentenced today okay in two days from now we're going to have kwanorondo who's going to turn himself in and yeah we're also on music watch for this week not too sure if any big releases are coming down to pipeline nothing that I know of specifically but there is still time that a big artist could drop for the rest of the year okay nothing I see on the schedule or see being worked behind the scenes so it looks like
Starting point is 00:02:34 shutdown time is upon us it appears oh shit lord hybrid with two hundred dollars somebody said act is about a take down jigger hold on now don't give me the credit don't get me the credit before they get on my ass. Hell not. Don't get me to credit, my boy. I appreciate you for the $200 donation, though.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Hell, motherfucking, though. Big W for my man for the 200 donation, but please don't get me to credit before they start getting on me. What I'm trying to do is be fair, okay? And, you know, I don't think necessarily my goal is to take anybody down, but in just the same way I would cover another topic
Starting point is 00:03:13 I'm covering this. You know what I mean? And I hope that's appreciated. Okay. Oh, donations coming in early. Someone says, yo, I thought the rocket got you, bro. Thank God.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Yo, Jay, listen, Jay is going crazy right now, chat. He's going, like, it's getting there. It's getting there. Now, I have a theory. Y'all want to hear me lay out this theory? Y'all want to hear me lay out this theory. This is going to sound bad shit crazy.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Y'all want to hear me lay out this theory? Conspiracy theory, act is here. Put your little tinfoil hats on and let's talk. I believe Jay-Z, and I know this is cliche, I think Jay-Z's in the middle of a big purchase. I'm sorry, I know, I know. I know we heard the, you know, Bill Cosby was bought to buy CBS or something. I do think there's a few, and there's a few that I'm going to show you
Starting point is 00:04:09 that we definitely know he's in the middle of, but I do think that there's probably other things that we don't know. And I do think that this lawsuit's threatening it. Now, I like to call a spade of spate. Okay? Who the hell is? Nice, he called me. I'm streaming, bro, bro.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Okay. What graphic designer just called me? Hey, so let me try to lay this out, and y'all tell me if y'all, like, I'll believe in you, or you could just tell me, act, I think you're full of shit. First and foremost, let me point this out. And, you know, I'll continue to this out.
Starting point is 00:04:52 say hip-hop media and black media are completely shook of the Carter slash knows they're scared of rock nation i understand why a lot of these people work or affiliated with companies that are either heavily or directly funded or they might run advertisements through or there's a power dynamic that might influence your job or your livelihood so why the hell go poke at the hornet's nest i completely get it but we have to call a spade a spade, okay? I don't have a problem with anyone who might be shook up Jay-Z. Just say it. Just say, yo, listen.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Like, and by the way, it's nothing wrong with admitting your biases. It's when you act like you're not biased the whole time. Like, a lot of times when I'm talking about, Drake, I tell you I'll offer him. I'm kind of biased. It's my favorite rapper. Fuck it. Right. Cool.
Starting point is 00:05:41 If you want to consume information for me afterwards, I saw you. But at least I'm going to put my biases at the front door, right? A lot of these people, they scale to Jay-Z. I would want to say 80% of just media in general. They're scared of Jay. They're scared of Jigger. They're scared of HOV. And I do think E's probably have their own reasons.
Starting point is 00:06:00 I think some people, like how I look at Drake, that's their Drake. You have to realize, I'm the first media personality that Drake was my favorite rapper. Everybody else in media, right? But for me, their favorite rapper is Jay-Z. Really think about it. Like, they all grew up on Jay-Z. Hove is their goat. That's their Michael Jordan, right?
Starting point is 00:06:24 So I get why some people might either be hesitant or a little bit biased. And also, you know, I know some people might be like, you know, I get it. You're tired of the drink talk, but yeah, people are going to kind of find it either objectionable or offensive when you're trying to, like, convince them that maybe their favorite rapper was a PDF file, right? They might be like, ah, hold on now. because, you know, it takes a whole different life of its own. So anyway, I completely understand when it comes to black media and either the lack of coverage or even when they do cover it,
Starting point is 00:06:59 they actually are covering saying Jay-Z's about to do something great by taking down false accusations rather than them just reporting what it actually is, right? It's an accusation. Could be true or could be not. He denies it and he's going to be, he's going to challenge it. That's it. Right? But the, you know, the thing with media is a lot about narrative,
Starting point is 00:07:21 the narrative that I see a lot of people in black media kicking out, and I completely get it, not knocking them, okay? What I've realized in the last 24 to 48 hours, that sentiment that people have about Jay-Z does not exist outside of black culture. Okay? Forbes wrote a hit piece damn near on them today. NBC News, they are digging into this shit like, yo, there is something there. Every outlet that is not within the culture,
Starting point is 00:07:47 is giving this the attention you would imagine. And I don't think it's a, oh, fuck Jay-Z thing. They're just looking at it saying, this is a huge deal considering his celebrity and his importance. And because of that, you're going to milk the story. And everybody's doing it except black media and hip-hop. And I get it. So we're seeing a lot of things happen.
Starting point is 00:08:12 And I have this crazy theory. You can let me know if you think it's crazy. I think Jay-Z is in the middle of a couple of big acquisitions or power moves. We all know, Jay-Z, I've always said he'll sell the culture down the river for some exchange of some cultural currency, but he's a phenomenal businessman, okay? He's a guy that is going to make shit happen, whether it's, you know, those deals in Brooklyn that had to get done to get the Barclays built, whether it's the NFL situation, whether it's the Bacardi situation,
Starting point is 00:08:47 even the entry and exit with that, you know, he left Delione or he sold the rest of it or whatever. He's really good with business. And I personally believe, based on filings I saw today, his desperation to try to expedite this to get out of here means that some big business, of his are in jeopardy.
Starting point is 00:09:17 I don't think it's going to affect his status of how we view him within the culture. But primarily his business dealings at this point or happening outside the culture. He usually only just leans on the culture to kickstart it in a sense. I'll get to that in a second, but if you guys haven't been there,
Starting point is 00:09:38 you guys should go to the academy.blog. We post pretty much all relevant court documents about most cases that we're covering on stream or you guys might be interested in. But Jayze's lawyer fired off two things today and essentially begged the judge to expedite ruling not only upon if the accuser could go nameless, but also wanted the judge to throw out the case. Now, this is what I told you about this era of what I believe.
Starting point is 00:10:13 it's kind of like the modern extortion, a civil suit, because a lot of these lack merit of any accompanying criminal investigation or criminal charges, the accusation becomes the narrative. He got a weird case. Why is he around, right? What that does is it's having a lot of people, a lot of company, back up from that person. Now, the nature of what's happening,
Starting point is 00:10:43 and this is how civil cases work. I gave you the timeline last night. This might take a couple of years to resolve. Now, Jay-Z don't got a couple of years to just be in limbo, be thought of as a PDF file. He probably is in the middle of business negotiations now. Maybe some of his current contracts are at jeopardy. He has a big, he just read up on an association with the NFL.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Well, this is how a civil suit usually goes, right? Now, this was filed in October. They sued Diddy, a bunch of his companies, and then a bunch of unnamed people. This month, they added Jay-Z. Now, this is how slow civil suits actually go, right? On average, it's about going to be two years before it really gets into the thicker things or it could possibly get to a court date. and that's even quick because if you go to a local jurisdiction,
Starting point is 00:11:50 like for example, some counties or whatever, there's up to like four or five years. Okay, it's slow. Now, after you serve the lawsuit, which by the way, I think they're going to say, fuck it, we got it. We got the lawsuit. Alex Spear already, which is his lawyer,
Starting point is 00:12:06 says I'm representing Jay-Z. All of the things in a complaint are there. Now, the process of a civil lawsuit is really, really, as I said, slow and laborious. Okay. There's going to be the person suing has to demand for what they need in discovery. The judge reviews it, or sometimes you could just give it to them if you have it or give an answer to it. But it's a bunch of back and forth.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Then Jay Z and whoever's being accused, Did he and his company can say, we want all of this chick's text messages from the relevant days. And again, these are things that they give like, and they'll give. like, oh, you guys have 30 days to do this or 60 days or three months. So what usually happens, it drags and drags and drags. Now, once there's a lot, the brunt of evidence presented, people usually go for what they call a motion to dismiss, especially if it being sued.
Starting point is 00:13:06 But the lawsuit at this point probably is almost at least a few months old, six months could be a year Jay Z can't wait a fucking year because if y'all think that he's a PDF file for a year it's gonna fuck up a lot of businesses for him so this file it was actually I'm not gonna lie and I want to give
Starting point is 00:13:31 some credit to Alex Spiro my boy is trying to move like Brian Steele and when I mean by move like Brian Steele he's going hard in the paint for Jay okay now clearly he not only represents since Jay-Z represents a lot of other business interests with Jay-Z, so he probably knows how important this is.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Now, the judge, there is a judge that got assigned this case, but the judge hasn't made much, it's a civil case. They don't, they say, like, people in jail, like civil. Jay-Z's lawyer writes a letter, begging a judge saying, hey, let's have a hearing. Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick. Yo, we got to decide these things. This is urgent.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Urgent! He's damn near begging a judge. to hurry up that they could possibly get this dismissed because it's killing Jay Z's reputation. And what this actually could show or what it says to me, again, I'm not saying none of this means he's guilty, but it tells me Jay is a little bit frantic.
Starting point is 00:14:34 And I don't think that's because of guilt or not. I think that's he's losing some money. So listen, let's read this letter. It says, Dear Honorable Judge Torres. On December 8th, A plaintiff filed an amended complaint, named my client, Sean Carter, as a defendant in the lawsuit. On December 9th, we filed a motion to seek,
Starting point is 00:14:55 seeking to have the court decline to permit the plaintiff in a case to proceed anonymously. As noted in that motion, the plaintiff's attorney, Anthony Busby, has engaged in his campaign to leverage unfounded and heinous allegations against celebrities to secure large settlements. He seeks neither justice nor peace for his victims. he only seeks to benefit himself. On the afternoon of December 9th, after we had submitted the motion
Starting point is 00:15:21 and accompanied exhibits, our offices received outreach. Oh, actually, I shouldn't read that one first. Let me read. Wait, did I? All right, now, wait. Oh, this is not the same one. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Okay, I'll read this in a minute. My bed. There's one of them missing. Give me one second. because he wrote two lists. So essentially, there's a lot of drama going on here. I ain't a lot of it. This shit is going to be wildly entertaining.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Okay. Yeah, this is it right here. All right. So, yeah, let me go back and read. So we were right on behalf of our client, Sean Carter, concerning the inflammatory allegations made against him. Based on the meritless and frivolous accusation, Mr. Carter has filed a motion to deny the plaintiff's request
Starting point is 00:16:40 to proceed anonymously, or a motion to dismiss. Okay? They'll follow that this morning. Due to the highly sensitive nature of this matter, an intense media scrutiny has generated. We respectfully request to be heard on an expedited basis. For the avoidance of doubt, Mr. Carter is entirely innocent. This is a shakedown.
Starting point is 00:17:06 He is not mentioned reference or implicated any way in the criminal investigation of Mr. he's neither a target nor a person of interest in that investigation. Adding to the urgency of this matter, Attorney Busby has orchestrated a months-long press campaign aimed at inflaming public opinion and escalating the events in real-time on social media platforms. Every day and in real-time, Busby continues to amplify false narratives, exploiting the legal process to generate media attention
Starting point is 00:17:33 and damage Mr. Carter's reputation. The relentless campaign underscores a need for, fast-tracking a hearing to address these issues promptly to prevent further harm. The plaintiff requests to proceed anonymously is both procedurally improper and unsupported by law and where it requires all parties to be named in the pleadings, reflecting the bedrock principle of transparency in judicial proceedings. Plaintiff has failed to demonstrate any compelling circumstances that would justify an extraordinary departure from this rule.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Now, here's why this is also interesting, right? So, and I'll shout to Megan Cunner for this one. So apparently the judge already granted, right? The judge had granted earlier. Hold on. The judge already had granted that the plaintiff could be, could go ahead as anonymous, but only when Diddy was being sued. When the judge granted that, all right, yeah, let me just read.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Hold on, I'm going to get to it. Is it here? Hold on one second. All right, I don't know if I have the paperwork, but it doesn't matter about the paperwork. So basically the judge already ruled that the woman could go on anonymous. Diddy's lawyer, because they're all tied up in the criminal shit. They have 26 lawsuits. They're not responding timely in a,
Starting point is 00:19:22 timely fashion to everything in the civil suits yet they're not putting that much effort into it so they didn't oppose the motion that the um anthony busby made for that same client so now when they add j z j z's like whoa i just got added to the case i don't want her to be anonymous but what's going to happen is anthony busby is going to say well they already rules saying she could be anonymous What's probably going to happen there is like either the judge is going to change their ruling. And even then I think Anthony Busby is probably going to appeal that ruling before it happens. Regardless of all of that, just to simplify, this is going to be a knock-em-out, drag-out process that's going to take a while. And Jay-Z's lawyer, Alex Spiro, is begging to rush this, that, you know, it would be a good look or not a good look,
Starting point is 00:20:20 but it would be open and shut if, let's say, by this week, they could get a dismissal or at least a dismissal on Sean Carter because now we could say, yo, I told you, this niggins line. I never did none of it with Shorty, but I'm going to be honest with you, because the legal process is so slow, right? And because there was, at least from we know, there is no criminal proceedings that preceded this, the judge has to allow them to do a little bit of fact-finding,
Starting point is 00:20:53 which means, yeah, if the judge just throws out the case, maybe she was telling the truth. So you got to let the facts come out first before you, you know, at least both sides present some facts before you say, ah, nah, this is bullshit. Because there is no like criminal investigation that happened before that the detectives are saying, here's our file of our investigation.
Starting point is 00:21:16 So what does that mean? it's a it's it looks desperate on jZ's part saying please let's hurry let's hurry up you ever been late at the airport you in tsa you're like yo you like it's like you're jumping out your body you're like i can't wait on his fucking line you know it's going to take at least like 30 minutes to get through your plane leaving 40 minutes you get what I'm saying so um yeah that's kind of what's happening and um i don't know if that's going to work but you know shit Alex Spiro is a monster We'll see if it will, but essentially they're trying to beg the judge to have a hearing about this. Because what happens is, you know, you don't do in-person hearings with civil cases.
Starting point is 00:21:59 You don't do those things until you get to damn their court. But because of that, everything is slow because you submit something. Then they give a time and a date that the other people got to respond. and then the judge take their sweet old time to respond. So for one, issues takes a month, right? Or not everything, but if it's a big thing, it might take a couple weeks, right? If you have a hearing, you go in court, both parties go in court, and within an hour or two, the judge makes the ruling.
Starting point is 00:22:31 You tell your side, he tells the side, the judge makes a ruling on that motion. So they're trying to get like a hearing, an in-person hearing to expedite this process because they want to identify the woman number one. And number two, put forth a good reason why it should be dismissed, even though I'm going to be honest with you, they don't, they haven't pointed out why it should be dismissed, which if the internet is right, some people say the internet have solved this,
Starting point is 00:22:56 that this case is bullshit. He could just write this in the case. Like, yo, did he, Jay was never at a party with a woman. He didn't have sex that night. He didn't, you can say all the type of shit, right? Anyway, let me just keep reading real quick. All right, but, but, but, um, okay, good. Furthermore, plaintiff's allegations coupled with the conduct of counsel, right,
Starting point is 00:23:17 suggests a deliberate attempt to leverage a judicial process to generate an unwarranted, media attention and pressure Mr. Carter into a settlement. The misuse of the legal system undermines both his integrity and Mr. Carter's ability to defend himself effectively. It's critical that the plaintiff's identity be disclosed so Mr. Carter can investigate and respond to the claims fully and fairly. Okay, we further note that the timing of this filing coincides with ongoing media coverage of unrelated matters involving Mr. Combs' criminal trial in which Mr. Busby does not represent victims underscoring the prejudicial retaliatory nature of the plaintiff's claim. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:01 So basically they're saying that Busby is representing people accusing Ditty, but none of those people are actually in the criminal trial. So they're kind of almost defended Diddy a little bit, saying, yeah, Ditty's actually being charged with some things. And they're using that as like a boost for their case and their story. But none of his multiple clients are the ones that are in the criminal case. Right. This is the amended complaint appears to design not to seek justice, but rather to amplify unsubstantiated allegations. and harm Mr. Carter's reputation by Mr. Busby, okay?
Starting point is 00:24:43 Allowing plaintiffs to proceed anonymously. Okay, we get all that. Given the circumstances, we urge the court to deny the plaintiff's request to proceed anonymously and dismiss the complaint. Pursuant to rule the da-da-da-da, the matter is of utmost important, and we request an expedited hearing to address these significant procedural and substantive issues, okay? expediting brief in schedule due to high risk. This is what Jay's lawyer is saying. They want to expedite it like an emergency hearing due to high risk of irreparable injury and time sensitive nature. We're available at the court's earliest convenience to provide additional briefing or to appear for a hearing on this matter.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Yeah, they want to, they want to get that shit out of here immediately. Wow. Federal court. Let's see what this is. 12. Oh, okay. Yeah, so Spiro quotes a rule that could allow the lawsuit to be dismissed. I don't think it's going to be dismissed, though, but good try.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Good try. Okay. All right. Then the next piece of drama is this. Today. So the one I just. read saying judge please please like yo this is going to cause irreparable damage to jz and what he got going on like we can't wait another day we can't wait months like how these other lawsuits been
Starting point is 00:26:56 dragging on you got to realize in all of ditty's cases and there's been cases filed you know cassie filed in november 2023 afterwards in the new year he got like 20 of them not one of those cases have gotten to the stage where discovery is is going through Right? Because they're asking for extensions, extensions, why they're asking for extensions. They're really busy with this criminal case, right? They're busy with a criminal case. And also, you don't want to do too much with the civil case that maybe the feds are looking over to say, oh, wait, oh, shit, look at this. So they're kind of like pushing those back. So that's what Ditty's going to do. Ditty's strategies push these shit back. JZ is like, fuck pushing it back.
Starting point is 00:27:44 need this shit dismissed today. You get what I'm saying? All right. Cool. So, this is, yeah, the important part. Okay. Listen to this drama.
Starting point is 00:27:58 So they write a letter yesterday, begging to expedite it. Then today, here's this. Dear Honorable Judge Torres on December 8th, the plaintiff filed an amendment complaint. On December 9th, we responded, seeking a motion to decline
Starting point is 00:28:11 to permit the plaintiff to proceed anonymously, as noting the motion, the lawyers engaged in a campaign to leverage unfounded, heinous allegations against celebrities to secure large settlements. He seeks neither justice nor peace for his victims. He seeks to only benefit himself on the afternoon of December 9th, after we had submitted motions and accompanying exhibits. Our offices, here's a drama chat, our offices received outreach via a phone call and email from an individual who provided her name to us,
Starting point is 00:28:41 though she remains to, though she wishes to remain anonymous. Jay was just saying, yo, the victim, alleged victim can't remain anonymous, but Jay is now saying, yo,
Starting point is 00:28:54 we got a call in our offices from an anonymous person. Whatever, cool. Here's the drama. Marie Henderson, who works for Quinn Emmanuel, so that's, you know, works for Alex Spiro's law firm.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Marie Henderson spoke to this woman. who informed Ms. Henderson, she had previously reached out to the Busby law firm with respect to allegations of trafficking and abuse unrelated to Mr. Combs or Mr. Carter. So this had none to do with Diddy. The Busby firm and representatives whom she spoke asked the woman when she met Diddy, even though her account did not relate to Mr. Combs at all. members of the Busby firm encouraged this woman to pursue her claims anonymously even though she did not have any interest in doing so when the woman raised wanting to talk to law enforcement she was informed that it was not encouraged after several outreaches the woman again spoke with members of the Busby firm who she felt were pressuring her to make allegations of being drugged held down and physically assaulted allegations that were not true. When the woman declined to adopt the version of the events proposed by members of the Busby Firm, she was summarily dropped as declined.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Though the woman provided her identity to Ms. Henderson, she remains to be unnamed at this time for fear of retaliation by the Busby Firm. The information provided by this woman is in the declaration of Ms. Marie Henderson, Attached here to his exhibit A. This information was came to Quinn Emanuel unsolicited. It is further evidence in support of Mr. Carter's right to thoroughly investigate, test, and respond to the spurious allegations that have been levied against it. We respectfully request that the court considered these additional information, which was received by Quinn Emanuel, only after the filing of yesterday's motion was complete. in connection with the motion to deny the plaintiff's request to proceed anonymously.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Okay. Now, this is this declaration, this sworn statement by somebody who works in the law office of Alex Spiro. It says, my name is Marie Anderson. I swear under penalty of perjury. Then I'm an associate with the law firm Quinn Emanuel, okay, who are attorneys for defendant and Sean Carter, and I submit this declaration in support of Mr. Carter's motion to deny the plaintiff's motion to proceed anonymously. On December 9th, I spoke by telephone with a female, an adult, who's a resident of the state of Texas, whose name is known to me. Another adult whose full name is known to me was also a witness to this conversation.
Starting point is 00:31:55 The information contained in this declaration is an accurate summary of the information provided to me by this woman on December 9th, namely that. In early October 24, the woman saw coverage of attorney Busby's press conference regarding allegations of trafficking and abuse by Sean Combs and submitted a brief outline of trafficking and exploitation, submit a brief outline of trafficking exploitation events via a Busby Law Firm website online submission for. The woman spoke with three members of the Busby firm and provided details regarding her experiences as a victim of trafficking by celebrities. entirely unrelated to Diddy or Jay-Z. And she was told that they would take her on as representation, okay? Or take on her representation. After detailing her experiences to an attorney at Mr. Busby's firm, he pressed for a connection to Mr. Combs,
Starting point is 00:32:52 asking, at what point did you meet Diddy? Even though she made clear that her case had nothing to do with Diddy. Mr. Busby firm pressed this woman to pursue a civil case as an unnotice, anonymous do plaintiff, even though she never raised proceeding anonymously as a possibility, and questioned doing so after it was heavily suggested to remain doing. So, even though she was not interested in remaining anonymous at the time, when the woman brought up wanting to go to law enforcement with the allegation members of the Busby firm informed her that going to law enforcement was not encouraged.
Starting point is 00:33:29 after not hearing from Mr. Busby firm for weeks, during which this woman tried to contact the firm multiple times, she spoke again with a member of the firm who pressed her to go, to confirm false details regarding her experience as a victim, including that she was drugged, held down, pushed, and physically assaulted. Now, let me stop this here, chat. Let me stop this here.
Starting point is 00:33:56 this random call. Remember, they said they're, this is ultimate game of chess. This is Illuminati chess chat. If you're reading this, remember, so the person who's saying this, I don't know, some clerk or somebody that works for Jay-Z's lawyer's law firm.
Starting point is 00:34:22 On the same day, they go to file or respond, but file a motion to say, I don't want this person, this alleged victim, who's now 37, was 13 at the time when this happened. I don't want them to be able to proceed as an anonymous client or anonymous victim or anonymous plaintiff. Somebody randomly calls Jay-Z's law firm's office and details damn near a story that sounds exactly like what that victim accused Jay-Z off. drugged. Remember it says the 13 year old was pushed,
Starting point is 00:35:05 grabbed, thrown, then held down, right? Held down and then sexually assaulted. Now, it's either two things going on, and I hope you catch it, you catch it. It's either Jay's saying, you know what, we won't cap too.
Starting point is 00:35:29 Oh, you cap it? We won't cap too. hey we had somebody call us up and they said the same thing that the same thing that this girl's accusing me up they were trying to get another girl to accuse another accused ditty or the same shit again again by the way i keep telling y'all the nature of how this lawsuit is they're kind of defended ditty at least in this case remember well they're both accused of being in the same situation but of course they're not going to put another allegation on themselves so they said hey this person who randomly called us because here chat just think about this think about this if a woman has a story of Tony Busby's firm supposedly she hissed them up saying oh a celebrity did something to me they said okay we'll represent you then they're steering her to put a claim or accused Diddy and say you got pushed, held down, drugged, raped. Why would this person hit up Jay-Z and not Diddy?
Starting point is 00:36:47 Why would this woman hit up, they're trying to get you to frame Diddy? But remember this is what I'm saying. I don't know what's going on here yet. Hey, listen, I'm going to just be the neutral arbiter because this is big money chest right here. You get what I'm saying? This is big money chess. Why would that person not call Diddy's lawyer?
Starting point is 00:37:12 It's not like, it's not like, I could imagine if this person, if they were trying to say, yo, but when did you meet Jay Z though? Nah, no, not. This is what you got to do. You got to accuse Jay Z and say he did A, B, C, and D. I get you probably like being frustrated and said, I'm going to call Jay, Jay's lawyer, and let them know. But they were trying to get you to accuse Ditty.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Why are you calling JZ lawyer? But that's what I'm saying. No one's naming names. I'm actually a little skeptical that some of these people exist. I'm skeptical. Someone floated a theory to me that some of these Jane Does, some of these Jane Does might just be keep in mind, chat. The goal of a lot of these lawsuits is to get the money, dismiss the case,
Starting point is 00:38:11 or you dismiss with prejudice means, oh, we settled. Here's the thing. you know Did he eventually he's going to do it with all his cases but Jay is pushing it here We need to know your name Let's say if they
Starting point is 00:38:27 Let's say if this is not a real person I know that sounds This 13 year old is not real They still don't have to disclose their name All they got to say if the judge forces them You can dismiss it You never know who the person is But on the opposite side
Starting point is 00:38:52 because remember Jay's in a time crunch. He needs it out now. I didn't even know Jay Z's law firm had a hotline. I know Tony Busby you got a hotline. But you're telling me, on the day you file, somebody called you up and said, hey, they were trying to get me to do the same thing. But to Diddy, but I'm just calling y'all, though.
Starting point is 00:39:17 And this Marie Henderson, which is someone who works at Alex Spiro's office, oh, we're not going to tell you that person's name either. So we get no names. We're getting no names here, chat. Interesting. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:47 When the woman made it clear she was unwilling to adapt to the narrative, Mr. Busby firm laid out and wanted to only speak her truth, she was dropped as a client and told that Mr. Busby firm was unwilling to represent her any longer. She had felt as though once she had expressed that she wasn't a coachable victim, she was dismissed. This woman shared this information because she felt the conduct by Mr. Busby Firm
Starting point is 00:40:18 specifically to encourage lies and discredit those who are legitimate victims. Oh, discredits those who are legitimate victims. This woman expresses that she fears retaliation from Mr. Busby Firm if she shares her true identity or signs her name to a declaration
Starting point is 00:40:38 in this case at this time. Okay. Well, why did she go to Jay-Z lawyer? If you're that much in fear, why would you go to Jay-Z's lawyer and blow the whistle knowing whatever you tell them, they're going to go tell the court? Because whatever you tell them is going to help Jay-Z out.
Starting point is 00:41:03 And then you know what's going to happen. Tony Busby is going to say, we need that person's name. And if Jay wants this to be believed, they're going to have to give this person. So I don't get what that person is getting out of it. Something's going on here, chat. Something is going on here.
Starting point is 00:41:25 So you have this clerk or whoever. I declare under the penalty of perjury that the foregoing statements are true and correct. Hmm. Durrusted. Now, the Illuminati chest didn't stop there, chat. Tony Busby clapped back with accusations of his own. Four hours ago, he says,
Starting point is 00:41:59 investigators from New York have called many of her firm, law firm client law firm's current and former clients what they didn't anticipate was one of the clients decided to record the conversation fucking plot twist
Starting point is 00:42:18 what we just read was supposedly a anonymous former client saying Tony Busby wanted me to lie and when I wouldn't lie they dropped me Now Tony Busby clasped back immediately saying Investigators from New York Basically hinting that
Starting point is 00:42:36 JZ's lawyers have called many of our law firms Current and former clients What they didn't anticipate was one of our clients decided to record the conversation So they're going to file this tomorrow I would imagine It's shocking and illegal Here's a portion taken from the transcript
Starting point is 00:42:57 So the investigator says, Hey, in a couple of days or maybe by next week, anybody Googling Buzzbee and his company, this practice, are going into litigation, okay? What we're trying to do is we're trying to put this thing together for the company that we work for. We could get you paid. You could get some money, right?
Starting point is 00:43:20 Soon, you know? We gave this kid a thousand bucks to start yesterday just to get him on the right path. At the end of the day, this is going through the courts. Busby's getting sued. It says these guys are on tape offering to pay clients to sue our firm. That's, that's a crime. Oh shit.
Starting point is 00:43:50 This is good drama. Jayzie says that one of his former, one of Tony Busby's former client came to him or came to his lawyers saying, nah, yeah, that did not do wanted us to lie. That would have helped Jay-Z because the judge might say, wow, this is kind of some proof that maybe some of these tactics you're using
Starting point is 00:44:15 or trumped up and meant to pressure and whatever, whatever, and you're getting people to lie. By the way, huge violation in court. Huge violation. A lawyer is supposed to do their due diligence, even if, say someone, comes in and say, yo, I got fucked by Saddam Hussein. Before you file that lawsuit, you're supposed to do a little bit of due diligence.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Hey, when did this happen? Where did this happen? How do we know or have some proof that you were in the same town as Saddam Hussein? Same building. Same vicinity. Is there any conversations between y'all? Text messages, pictures? Did anybody post anything on the gram or something?
Starting point is 00:45:04 You got to make sure that it kind of vibes and dives, you know what I mean? Because if you file frivolous lawsuit, you stand and face the risk of being sanctioned and punished by the court. That happened or it was, you know, there's a motion to sanction Mr. Blackburn, who, UMG caught him a few times. possibly doing some procedurally incorrect things. So a lawyer line just to get either a judgment or get a salacious headline, especially if they're coercing, their client, to lie or to trump up a story, very unethical and definitely could have some ramifications. So Jay Z's lawyer accuses Tony Busby of that.
Starting point is 00:46:11 But then Tony Busby claps back and says, interested because what also is unethical is that you, and investigators that we believe work for you through the proxy, which is your law firm, are calling around offering money to former clients to sue people. That's a big no-no and a crime. this is going to get really interesting people really interesting okay um here's my crazy theory you can believe it if you want to one of the reasons why j z wants to get this dismissed is because
Starting point is 00:46:51 he's in the middle of trying to do a lot of big things i believe he's trying to break into maybe sports team ownership a bit but a big thing he has going on is Jay Z Casino So Jay Z a month ago So Jay Z's trying to He's trying to become one of those guys
Starting point is 00:47:24 If you look at even like say the UFC Is owned by the Fratita brothers And they own the Red Rock They own most of the casinos They actually just they bought into the UFC stuff Just because they're like Ah fuck it these guys that own casinos are really wealthy okay now um there's a market for casinos in northeast jersey
Starting point is 00:47:53 i'll tell you how competitive it gets for casinos if you're in new jersey which i am the only casino that's allowed to do table games and regulate in person you can do fandu but it's only online is in Atlantic City. Now, you have to remember, the thing with casinos is that casinos, even Vegas, anywhere casinos are, it sucks the life out of the economy out of the whole town.
Starting point is 00:48:24 So the whole town becomes, like, have to, like, live off these casinos. You go to Atlantic City or even like Vegas, Vegas is starting to expand a lot more. That's why they're trying to bring more sporting events there, but a lot of the revenue comes in, comes through casinos. By the way, the revenue that comes in through casinos gets heavily taxed.
Starting point is 00:48:43 And there's almost a profit share thing there. And also, it's a lot of money that goes in there. Like, for example, I'll tell you this. If you like draft kings or you like Fandu or something like that, they'll never have a casino in Vegas. Never. Never. Also, for example, like Fandu, you can't do Fandu in Vegas. Why?
Starting point is 00:49:07 Those casinos there, where there's Cesar's in all these places, is they spend tens and hundreds of millions of dollars making sure no other competitor comes into that sphere. It's really competitive. Like they don't want no new friends. No new niggins compete. Okay? Let's get back to the Jersey model, right?
Starting point is 00:49:33 So if you look at, I'm gambling, and by the way, gambling is such a big thing everywhere now. And by the way, it's interesting people are just getting that, Drake for gambling. Ain't this Jay-Z's trying to do even more than that. At least Drake is just, he's endorsing gambling. Jay's trying to own a casino.
Starting point is 00:49:51 Levels, right? By the minute, while we do that, look at this. Traff Kings ad just pops up. You can't escape gambling, bro. You can't. Anyway, I have nothing to do, drafts, by the way. So,
Starting point is 00:50:07 Jay-Z, oh, so let me finish the story. in the Atlantic City is at the shit bottom of Jersey you got to drive all the way down to go get to it if you're if you're in north jersey by where MetLife Stadium is where it's kind of like 15 minutes from New York you have to drive two and a half hours to get to casino okay so what ends up happening is that people are saying yo that's kind of like inconvenient why can't we just have a big old casino right by the place where we have we have a big old casino right by the place where we have all the games like MetLife Stadium is right there to the bridge people from New York would probably come over blah they tried to do it and the casinos in Atlantic City banded together because they knew if I sell weed and I'm the only weed spot and you got to drive two miles to get to the weed spot if there's another nigga along the route that sell the same weed you might say he's only three blocks away.
Starting point is 00:51:10 So essentially all the casinos that's two and a half hours away Atlantic City banded together, lobbied the government, started doing a lot of because it becomes a very legislative, very legislative. Very legislative. And they even went to say, hey, we're going to give you some of their revenue because we know you guys are going to lose out on revenue. Because the state is kind of managing all this to say, hey, we get it. if they put a casino in by where MetLife, the Metalands is, people from New York ain't going to drive an extra two hours to get down to Atlanta City no more.
Starting point is 00:51:45 So you know what? We'll give you like, I don't know, 20% of whatever that comes out of there to subsidize what y'all got going on. They're like, mm-mm, fuck that, mm-mm. Because currently Atlantic City serves Pennsylvania. Niggits from Philly come there, niggas from New York come there, and it's the only place in Jersey.
Starting point is 00:52:06 So that's the only hot spot for all those places. They do have gambling in New York, but table games are banned. Okay? So it's kind of like a stripped down gambling and people want the full experience. Okay. So Jay-Z is coming together with a couple other people
Starting point is 00:52:34 to bring a casino to Times Square. Now, let me tell you what that means. you might as well just install a money printer Times Square the most populated place most tourists if you live in Jersey that's more attractive with all due respect to Atlantic City it's a dump garbage like and I don't mean to this people in Atlantic City but we all know come on
Starting point is 00:52:59 other than going to Atlantic City to gamble you don't go there for nothing imagine going to Times Square you go watch a Broadway play you go watch a show you go to Madison Square Garden, you go over there, you go out to eat, and then you could still gamble and then go to a strip club? Oh my God, this should be lit. That's what Jay was trying to do. So Jay is trying to bring a casino to basically cut off Jersey, but also eat up all the tourist population,
Starting point is 00:53:32 and the biggest tourist population in the United States is coming through Times Square. So you know what he did? Look, look at the headline. This is how you know this is the money printer. He was going to give grants. He's giving away $250 million for free. Just that business is around there
Starting point is 00:53:54 because you know what business around there is saying? A casino is never good for business for other businesses. Because what happens is people come to these places and lose their money. It also attracts a different environment. environment, like a lot of other thriving businesses don't like casinos. They don't like it.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Okay? So because these things would require votes and people endorsing the idea, Jay-Z offer, yo, we'll give you out $250 million in grants. Let's read through it. Jay-Z is looking to sweeten the pot on his Times Square casino bit. The rap icon and Rock Nation will commit $250 million in Grants. grant money for Hell's Kitchen if they land the bid to create a Caesar's Palace. Times Square Casino.
Starting point is 00:54:46 Paid Sixers Learned. The hip-hop moguls rot nation-led group would give initially $15 million to the local community. You see? Yo, he's just giving everybody money because once you get in, remember, you need to get in. Once you get in, printing money. Printing. Okay? This $200 and was $65 because $250,000.
Starting point is 00:55:07 give to grants for Hell Kitchen, and then 15 for local. Oh, that's a chump change. You make that in like two weeks. Two weeks. It's all good. Plus regular grants based on 0.5% of the casino's performance. Okay. The Caesar Palace Times Square team has already met with the residents of Manhattan Palace,
Starting point is 00:55:34 Manhattan Plaza, the famed affordable housing for development for artists. To clue them into potential. benefits we hear. Jay-Z said in a statement announcing that the grant initiative says we're New Yorkers. Supporting and providing an opportunity for neighborhoods and communities isn't just part of our rock nation ethos. It's our collective responsibility. The Empire State of Mind artists added any proposal that wins a gambling license will undoubtedly profit. So that's the thing. This hell's kitchen like situation they're first in line,
Starting point is 00:56:15 they're first in line to get what's supposed going to be this coveted gambling license. Okay? It's like I'll bring it down to, and again, there's always politics as usual, right? In a lot of these towns,
Starting point is 00:56:32 especially a populated town, the reason why you don't see new businesses all the time is that the town will say, we only give out 200 liquor license so you could build a bar but you can't sell no fucking liquor. So what you have to do is you got to buy a liquor license from someone or buy an establishment
Starting point is 00:56:51 with the liquor license because the town doesn't issue anymore. So this gambling license once you have that and you could open a business where gambling is allowed in Times Square? Oh my God, you're printing cash, right? Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:09 So it says any proposal that wins the gaming license or gambling license really will undoubtedly profit our vision is to give back to New York and ensure that Broadway, ensure that the Broadway community, Hell's Kitchen and surrounding
Starting point is 00:57:24 business all benefit. You gotta imagine some of these businesses are probably like, I don't know if I want, once a D-Gen's just coming over here and just gambling, bro. And not just for the minute, but for the long term. Rock Nation is looking to move forward, okay? into the gambling world after New York City was, after New York City was greenlit for a game and license and as teamed with Caesars and SL Green. Other players vying to land the biz at different location include Sacks 5th Avenue, Mohegan Suns,
Starting point is 00:57:58 win resorts, and Greenwood gaming and entertainment, resort world casino, and more. They're all putting their chips on the table to win the coveted license. I'm not too sure how many are going to be given out. The Rot Nation plan would distribute grant funding a new trust controlled by community residency. That's how you get people on your side. Oh, yeah, we're giving away quarter million dollars. Because, again, what the community's thing going to be is, if you bring a casino right here, we've been doing business, this is our revenue, you're going to fuck it up,
Starting point is 00:58:33 you're going to change the whole, uh, why do we need gambling, right? That's what they're saying. but you offering them money and offering like, you know, making promises that you're going to do this to invest into making the area better. Right. Cool. The group contends,
Starting point is 00:58:54 and a $250 million community funding promise would include improvements in Times Square, Hell's Kitchen and surrounding areas. Casinos could earn from $1 million to $10 million a day. The Post is reported. Nevada, where gambling epicenter lies reportedly grow, 13.43 billion in 2021. Rock Nation said his bid is getting support
Starting point is 00:59:16 from over 150 organizations and businesses. Damn, including restaurants, hotels, residents, and unions, and Broadway stakeholders, sorry. But all the various New York City plans have faced pushbacks from groups who don't want the gaming businesses in his backyard. This is some of the people. Theater workers, the union opposed Jay-Z's backed casino.
Starting point is 00:59:46 They said it's not good for Broadway. Okay? Hove might not be getting to look. The union that represents the bulk of the Broadway theaters wants to tear up the blueprint for a proposed Times Square casino backed by JZ, the rapper Jay-Z. A casino in New York would add a dimension in New York City, vibrant entertainment industry,
Starting point is 01:00:05 but placing it amissed our theater district would be a mistake. the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Told the Post in a statement Casinos are self-contained That's a fact If you go to a casino, no windows They don't do no windows At least when you're at the gaming park
Starting point is 01:00:22 No windows, no time It, they close off Restaurants, they comp you with food They don't want you leave. They don't want you leave So now they're like, yeah, we don't fuck with this type of. Like put it like this. These places like, oh, you want to see a play You have a nice dinner somewhere else then you walk over and you go see a play.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Everybody's getting money. Everybody eats. A casino come, only Jay-Z eats, okay? All right. Casinos are self-contained and design to keep patrons inside for as long as possible. Meanwhile, our iconic theater district in Broadway are still recovering from the financial hardships
Starting point is 01:00:59 brought by COVID. Okay? All right. So, yeah, they're not rocking with it. They're saying having a casino in Times Square is not going to increase the Tennessee. set of our venues, okay? It says it's already problematic.
Starting point is 01:01:13 Traffic would only get worse in a tourist destination. It's already incredibly congested. We don't want more. It's not good for Broadway. Okay, so they don't like it. All right. So they're joined by that that supports Caesars. That believe the da-da-da.
Starting point is 01:01:27 Okay. No, that's another person. Okay. All right. And then there's another article. Who will win? remember this is why j z like j z needs to you can imagine now these union workers they're probably discussing this at their board meetings you know damn we were going to give this nigga the the
Starting point is 01:01:54 the support of him winning the bid for the the gaming license but you know he fucked a 13 year old did it no they would be asking that question allegedly right and um yeah that's probably costing jz some money because j z is invested a lot, Rock Nation's invests a lot, in trying to get this effort going on. Keep in mind, Jay-Z is a very beloved rapper, right? Who will win the big in the New York City casino race? Gambling experts set the odds on Jay-Z.
Starting point is 01:02:26 So Jay-Z was leading. Jay-Z was supposed to win, right? As New York Summer grinds on, the ballot for three. Oh, it's three cities, oh, so it's three casinos. Proposals. It's a million dollar application fees. So people had to, it was a million dollars just to apply.
Starting point is 01:02:48 And you have to have this large proposal. What are you going to do for the community? What are you going to do for that? How is it going to do to this? Everything. So you're probably spending maybe $10 million on just drumming up the proposal. Also, you've got to have a certain amount of money and then partner with somebody who already is in a casino business
Starting point is 01:03:06 because there's going to be a lot of regulations. outside of two Rosinos What's a Rosino Resorts World New York City in Queens and Empire City in Yonkers Those are the ones that you can't do
Starting point is 01:03:21 Table games Which already have Profitably Electronic games And are said to be front runners The six remaining contenders Face local opposition Oh So it looks like these two
Starting point is 01:03:36 Looks like these two If it's three they're giving out, look like these two are going to finally, you know, they've been around already. They just can't have table games. They're going to get the full casino gaming license, which would allow them to be a full casino. Neither are in Times Square.
Starting point is 01:03:53 Like they're not in the hustle and bustle of Manhattan. So that will leave one left. And Jay was the frontrunner for this one. Whoa. Companies are, as I said to you, companies are spending millions on lobbyists, a political insider told the Post. And no part of the city wants a new casino. Okay? Here we go.
Starting point is 01:04:29 So related companies and win. Their budget is $12 billion. Public bonus, they're going to do a 5.6 acre park and a public school. and the casino would be win New York City so they're laying out I guess what everybody's going to do so they said they complain the casino
Starting point is 01:04:49 would replace housing units going from 15, 5,700 to 1507 okay here's another proposal MGM Resorts their budget is 3 billion you got to step your game up baby because win is coming with 12 so
Starting point is 01:05:06 MGM coming with 3 They said their public bonuses to triple, tripling the largely local workforce already there. Week, this is weak. Oh, their casinos empire city. Oh, never mind. So they already have one there. So Yonkers Raceway.
Starting point is 01:05:24 Okay, so they already have a casino. It's just on a full-on, it's aiming for a full-on gaming license. So they're probably going to get it. So that's why they don't have to come with that much money. Okay. Mohegan Sun, $10 billion. We're talking billions, people. you see why jazzy you know jay bottle jaysie by the jesie by the burst of blood vest live this goddamn case keep going on
Starting point is 01:05:47 yo my boy's trying to yo he's trying to be i mean he's already the richest rapper but he's trying to be on some up 25 bill type shit you get what i'm saying this is the move all right they're going to do 6.7 acre of green space huh how do you do that and the freedom museum okay I guess. Oh, look. Oh, they'll be created here. Okay, so it wouldn't be Times Square. It would be created here.
Starting point is 01:06:16 I think, is this West Side Highway or something? This is the green space and it would build the billions around it. Okay. All right, brothers. Then we have the Genton Group. They only came in $5 billion. But they have a casino already. They just don't have the full gaming license.
Starting point is 01:06:33 So anything under 10, you've got to come at least $10 billion if you want a full new license. If you already kind of have a license, but it's not full, it's just for electronic games, you could come with, you know, what's the name came to three, and now they're coming with five. So this casino already exists, right? So they just, it's without table games like blackjack and roulette. I would never step foot in the casino if you don't got blackjack or roulette. Come on now. What the fuck?
Starting point is 01:07:00 I need table games, baby. Come on now. All right. So they would be getting that. And I actually do think they're going to get it. They already have a location. obviously the reason why they're coming with a budget is because they do, given the license,
Starting point is 01:07:12 they want you to do some stuff for the community, right? Got you. Where's JZ's effort? We got Bally. $3 billion. Talking about the public bonuses is a police substation. They're going to have a police station in there. There ain't no fucking bonus.
Starting point is 01:07:29 Y'all going to put a police station in the casino? Fuck out of here. Okay? I don't think that one's, no. And it says, assuming MGM and resorts are layup, they are. It says we're right in between them. We're the best location.
Starting point is 01:07:43 Oh, did they have a location already? Oh, they bought a Bronx-Links golf course from Donald Trump in 2023. And they want to convert portions of the golf course to a casino. Okay, okay. Y'all ain't winning. Or maybe they do.
Starting point is 01:08:05 Who knows? I mean, shit by the time has decided Trump's going to be in office and I don't know if the New York City mayor is going to be heavy Trump Trump might just give him the wing to say yo he bought that from me get him the license you know what I mean like
Starting point is 01:08:22 come on now Steve Cohen and the hard rock 8 billion 25 acres of a new space park what all right they even got like a little thing right here oh shit would this be a new stadium oh this would be a stadium type shit I guess
Starting point is 01:08:39 too. Oh, the dude purchased the Mets for $2.4 billion. See, chat, purchasing a team, $2.4 billion. The budget for a casino, $8 billion. Just to show how much this shit is. Okay, so this guy owns city feel already. All right, so I guess it would turn that into a gaming and gambling thing. Kind of would be cool, right? You walk straight out of the baseball stadium and you go place a bet or you just go gamble, right?
Starting point is 01:09:09 then we get Chickasaw, Thor equity, and whatever, $3 billion, I don't know who the fuck this is. Oh, but, oh, this would be, the casino would be in Coney, um, Coney Island. Okay. Now here's the jigger. Contenders.
Starting point is 01:09:30 Jay-Z along with Caesar Entertainment. Oh, Caesar's Entertainment is probably so upset at Jay-Z right now. Jay. Jigger. We were about to win. Jigga. This fucking bad news is going to fuck this up for us. What budget is TK.
Starting point is 01:09:50 Billion? What the fuck is this? School of it. What the fuck is TK. billion? All right. Hold on. Cesar's is now on this twice, is it? Hold on.
Starting point is 01:10:12 I feel like I saw Cesar before. Chat. I'm hopefully y'all enjoyed this type of shit. I like, you know what me? I'm a top pocket watcher, bro. Top. like bruff nobody could out pocket watch me gang all right okay so caesars are linked with j z j z's the face of it they're thinking he's a popular rapper he helped he helped the barclays get
Starting point is 01:10:35 there like he helped the nets move to brooklyn like jays the guy now it probably would have been a little bit better if he was bringing the casino to brooklyn but fuck it we're doing times square big boy shit i don't know what t k billion is whatever 100 billion? What, trillion? Okay. Public bonus. Jay Z curating the entertainment.
Starting point is 01:11:01 Oh, man, this thing will have Kendrick performing, not like us after every slot win, nigga. You win at the slots, not like us to start playing. God damn, bro. That's the thing about Jay-Z. They always throw him to, He curates the entertainment.
Starting point is 01:11:26 Yo, you're going to win at the casino. It's going to be like, I see broke people. I forgot to go, they not like us. Yeah, of course. Casino, Caesar's Palace Times Square.
Starting point is 01:11:42 They're thinking it's going to look like this. Oli. Some entities around Times Square. Yeah, this should be huge. And I guess I'm guessing this would be the whole. tail in the back right here. There probably has to be an undergrad, like a casino usually really big. Let's read.
Starting point is 01:11:58 Despite the project's offer of $170 million to go towards theater tickets for the kids and education for would-be actors, the Broadway League is against a casino, fearing that it would take butts out of the theater seats. On the other hand, a group of neighborhood landlord that makes spread support for the proposed gambling debt. Or sound as 71% of registered voters voiced opposition. Ooh. So they already was, they're going through it.
Starting point is 01:12:25 71% I guess they put it on the ballot. 71% of people don't like this shit. Hmm. Yeah, I guess they, did they vote? Yeah, they voted sometime about it. Hmm. All right. But Brett Hirschfeld, the executive vice president of retail
Starting point is 01:12:51 and opportunistic investment at SL Green is optimistic. He told the post, Caesar Palace Times Square, is a project designed to uplift all of these Times Square businesses through investment in shared economic benefit. As for Jay Z's role in December 2020, source told the Post it's hope that Jay could handle residencies like the one that Adele has in Vegas, meaning Jay would be the person to go get,
Starting point is 01:13:23 yo, Kendrick, you're performing here for the next eight weeks. Just like how, um, Fifth, he's about to do a residency in Vegas. I forgot what casino. Okay. The odds of approval are 25 to 1. Wow. So they're not a favorite dinner, right?
Starting point is 01:13:44 Well, I guess there's only one left. There is no convenience in Times Square, said Warnski. The best way to get there is on a subway. Do you want to ride there with $5,000 in your pocket? if they could get local approval, which is a long shot, I make them 10 to 1. So it looks like they're already facing problems. The people don't want it.
Starting point is 01:14:13 People don't want it. But okay. This would be the $20 billion play by Jay. And to keep it real at that point, he'd be on his Michael, well, beyond Michael Jordan. Wow. So if you want to believe, if you want to believe, if you want to believe
Starting point is 01:14:45 if you want to believe like on some conspiracy theory shit yes yes yes yes it definitely appears that um it definitely appears that Jay got some big shit going on
Starting point is 01:15:24 and obviously you know even if he's not the favorite already it does look like him being embroiled in some very nasty rumors and allegations that might very well be false. But these days, we just hear the allegation
Starting point is 01:15:43 and our minds are stuck there, right? We're seeing it every single place. That shit might be messing that up, right? Now, I did see somebody do a video on that before. Give me one second. And again, this is really for my conspiracy theories, the theorist people over here. Jay-Z.
Starting point is 01:16:06 Here. What, what? Did you kneel and would you stand home? Um, okay. I think we've passed kneeling. Has shown who he is not only from his music. You have cousins. You got to go home for Thanksgiving and people are talking to you like Kevin Hart.
Starting point is 01:16:23 And you're going home for solace. You're a family. You're going home for peace of mind. You go home for peace of mind. And they don't give you that because you're not. You're not. The cousins and your grandma's living room saying, yo man, I got this, uh, I got this play.
Starting point is 01:16:34 I want to hit you, if you just give me a, you, you just give me. You know what I mean? $48,000. I could make you $2 million. You like, it don't work like that. You got to explain to him like life isn't like that. Money isn't free and no one's given opportunity.
Starting point is 01:16:48 If it sounds too good to be true, it's really. And then he's like, oh, you don't believe in my dream. But by the dialogue he gives us. Jay-Z, bar none, is in the top five of anybody I've ever met. His style, his demeanor, the quality of person he is. He's just outstanding. And I took away, I would have almost paid him
Starting point is 01:17:13 what I paid Des Bryant, just to have gotten to spend that kind of time with him and watch him operate. And the company he keeps speaking of. Hey, ho, I'm taking that $500K. I ain't taking that dinner. I'm taking that $500k. You feel me?
Starting point is 01:17:28 Hey, it's love, though. You feel me? Yep. Now, there is a story involving Jay-Z's Rock Nation and it has to do with community and local politics. All credit to Gwen Hogan, a reporter for the city, who covered the story that is vital for the masses to hear. Now, if one were to quickly Google Rock Nation,
Starting point is 01:17:50 the positive press is in full effect. They are pushing into the top of the search results. You'll see headlines like Jay-Z's Rock Nation plans to use a portion of Caesar's Poundless Times Square Profits for an unprecedented grant program, and Jay-Z's Rock Nation, pledges $15 million to NYC community in Times Square
Starting point is 01:18:08 casino bit. So Rock Nation was spending a shit ton of money on promoting it. Actually, you go to Rock Nation's Instagram. They were running this heavy
Starting point is 01:18:25 about a month ago. Even though people were saying, hey, I don't support gambling whatsoever. I don't care if all the money went to the community. Gambling addictions are dangerous. So over these. celebrities trying to get us addicted to things they profit in. You get what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:18:41 No schools, no learning centers, music training, community outreach. No, a casino. We got to get you out of hip-hop's business, right? What this is designed to do, though, is give a sense of all. They got to get approved. Get the tweets out. Get the Facebook posts out, the Instagram Reels. It was very good PR.
Starting point is 01:19:07 Instagram posts. Snapchat, TikTok. Oh, Jay-Z is giving back to the community. Oh, Jay-Z has got to get approved for this. He's looking out for everybody. When really what it's designed to do is skip over the process and go from A to Z instead of covering B, C, D, E, etc. And this is where we introduce Aleta LaFargue,
Starting point is 01:19:31 the Manhattan Plaza Tenants Association president. Hoping I said that correctly. With the casino being open in New York City fairly soon, The competition is really heaving up here. And there are 11 bids currently. Rock Nation is one of those bits. In a previous piece, Rock Nation would pull out all the stops, and I mean all of them, including providing free food.
Starting point is 01:19:57 They'd pass out flyers to Manhattan Plaza. The company teamed up with Caesar's Entertainment, along with property developer SL Green to concoct a plan. Aletta as written by this is I want to make sure I have this correctly West 42nd Street or W42ST.com
Starting point is 01:20:20 and the writer is Phil O'Brien so written by O'Brien Aletta said it was frustrating that Rock Nation had come without a warning to the area and their residents she said offering free food in hopes of getting signatures for their support from locals for the casino would do
Starting point is 01:20:38 quote, nothing but harm to our community, and she called it predatory. Remember this, please. Importantly, she would provide context and describe the scene there. When people think of Times Square, they don't realize
Starting point is 01:20:54 that it's adjacent to a residential area where people are really in jeopardy of falling prey to the predatory business that a casino is. My family's from Atlantic City, and so I know very well what the methods of casinos are, and they are not to revitalize, excuse me,
Starting point is 01:21:11 the communities that surround them. Thus, the No Time Square Casino Coalition was formed to combat and in their eyes prevent this from taking place, and there are many, many members who are in this coalition, to name a few.
Starting point is 01:21:26 The Broadway League. Broadway cares, equity fights, AIDS. The Hell's Kitchen Neighborhood Association. The West 43rd Street Block Association. There's so many. Can't even list them all.
Starting point is 01:21:43 It would take too long. And they list a few reasons why they oppose this project. Times Square is already the most heavily traffic crossroads in the Western Hemisphere. A casino will bring thousands of taxi drop-offs, deliveries, and load-ins that will further snarl traffic and make Times Square less safe. Research shows that Las Vegas aside, casinos don't meaningfully drive new tourists. Instead, they act as magnets for local gamblers and prey on vulnerable populations. Third, after a long recovery from the pandemic, visitors have rediscovered the allure of the theater and have returned to restaurants around Times Square.
Starting point is 01:22:21 Casinos are built to keep visitors inside their doors as long as possible. Very true. Fourth, the economic benefits of casinos dwindle over time with fewer customers and falling tax revenue, especially in dense cities. By contrast, the Broadway theaters and restaurants that attach to, times where a casino would disrupt have proven to grow the city's jobs and economy decade after decade. I am begging you to keep this all in mind because now we're going to go back to Aleta. Okay. At a meeting with representatives pitching their plan, she had a far different
Starting point is 01:22:54 tone than her previous comments. She would say to tenants, quote, I know there's a lot of feelings about whether or not our community gets a casino, but here we are to listen to what they have to say, what they have to offer. From Hogan's own piece. Are you ready for this? Because this is where it gets juicy. What they weren't told is that Aletta had been offered a $20,000 a month contract to work as an independent contractor for Rock Nation,
Starting point is 01:23:21 according to a copy of it obtained by her paper the city dated January 2024. One name that pops up, Desire Perez, who was seated behind Jay-Z and that NFL Rock Nation presser. We've covered her before, but in case
Starting point is 01:23:36 You have no idea who this person is. She received a pardon from a certain president after their term expired. That president, Donald Trump. Per the New York Daily News, Perez is an ex-Con who was arrested in 1994 for intent to distribute 35 kilos of you know what. She'd serve as an informant cooperating with the DEA, amongst other setbacks. The Daily News is Bill Madden would report Perez were wires to meet with major. drug traffickers. She is now Rock Nation CEO.
Starting point is 01:24:12 And how did this pardon go down? Well, it's easier to be a parent this morning. It's easier to be a dad. It's easier to tell your kids, character matters. It matters. Tell them the truth matters. It might have been that guy.
Starting point is 01:24:28 The Van Jones is the Van Jones Show, season one, episode one. Thank you for being here from the very beginning. I appreciate you very much. Also here, we have a local rapper, you may have heard of. The legendary Sean J. Z. Carter is in the building. Van Jones is speculated to have helped broker this deal. We do know how he has been photographed with Trump advisor and son-in-law, Jared Kushner,
Starting point is 01:24:58 and also how he hid, according to the reporting, I believe, from Mother Jones, that he worked with the Trump administration. And he hid this while he was doing a CNN piece. We have also seen how when Inspire Change came together, the NFL initiative for social justice, that the owners and a select group of players teamed up to distribute the owners' money to different charities, one of those being Van Joneses. Take that what you will.
Starting point is 01:25:40 Back to the casino. when contacted by the city, would change her story numerous times. It is unclear if she took the money or didn't, but the fact her story keeps going in different directions is quite eye-opening, isn't it? She would later say she did not sign a contract with Rock Nation. Wiley Norvell, though, a spokesperson for the coalition, told the city, the casinos developers have been using these tactics to buy the illusion of public support since day one. The question is whether they have any supporters that aren't based.
Starting point is 01:26:12 directly compensated. John Caney, the executive director of the good government group Reinvent Albany, told the paper, I would look at this and think, what else are these guys up to? That is a great question, isn't it? We have seen how they have paraded people like Fat Joe and Alicia Keys to try and get the public on their side. And I think what this really shows, is that they are trying to use their own star power to make a buck and have that buck come at the expense of the locals. There's a lot more to this, and I am going to continue following this story for you all,
Starting point is 01:26:59 because what this shows is the ultra-wealthy going up against hyper-local politics and a community. And the community is showing what, unity looks like and also how the only way forward is through camaraderie and fighting back against stuff like this. If you can and are willing. Okay. All right. So I think you guys get the gist. I won't categorize Rock Nation as good or evil, but they're pretty slick. They know how to move and navigate. Now, as I said, Black media is very quiet about Jay-Z and what's happening. And I get it. I get it. I have no problem with it. Me, I just would like people just to say,
Starting point is 01:27:49 yo, it's hove, that's our guy. Fuck it. It's cool. But he's being treated like anybody else in non-black media. But who knows if there's other things at play here, obviously him seeming a little bit desperate to get this dismissed and out of here. Might have a couple billions that he's maybe either in on or deals that he's hoping to land,
Starting point is 01:28:18 that this could fuck up. I seen Forbes. They wrote a very scathing article on him. I was actually shocked. It says breaking down Jay-Z's PR strategy in his statement denying the allegations. Okay? A civil suit accuses Jay-Z of blah blah, blah,
Starting point is 01:28:38 the Sunday following. Okay, okay. Now, they landed or listed five ways how they felt Jay-Z statement, which this is a statement. Was a statement meant to do a lot of things. They actually don't even think this is a statement
Starting point is 01:28:53 that's just like, I've seen some people say, oh, man, Jay-Z typed this up on his phone. Okay. They actually break this down in this way. They said this is a no-nonsense denial. They say Jay-Z didn't mince words. He set the tone with direct and uncompromising language calling the allegations absurd,
Starting point is 01:29:11 labeling the lawsuit as a blackmail attempt. This wasn't a passive denial. It was a flat-out rejection meant to show confidence. Make the accusation seem baseless. while defending himself was part of the plan. The objective was likely to go on the offensive and frame the lawsuit as a calculated attack on his character. Two, attacking attorney.
Starting point is 01:29:30 He went straight for Tony Busby, taking direct aim of his ego, targeted Busby's profession, dismissing him as an ambulance chaser, even questioned his military experience with a jab reminiscent of a few good men. You claim to be a Marine. Marines are known for their valor. You have neither honor or dignity, nor dignity of identity, For the final touch, he mocked Busby's wardrobe, describing him as dressed in a costume in a cheap suit. The jabs are more than an attempt to discredit Busby.
Starting point is 01:30:00 There are a calculated effort to get under her skin. It's more of a public clash of two larger-than-life egos. Jay-Z is determined not to let this media-savvy lawyer out-maneuver him. Jay-Z portrays the lawsuit as an opportunistic by questioning Busby's credibility. implying its motives are suspect. His words serve not only as a defense, but also as a way to sway public opinion and prevent Busby from gain in the upper hand.
Starting point is 01:30:26 Three, challenging the accuser. Jay-Z doesn't flat out say the accuser's lying. By the way, he never said she's lying. But he does poke hole in the credibility of Busby's motives. He says, whom would ever commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, wouldn't you agree? He's hyping up the drama without mention the fact that this isn't a criminal case.
Starting point is 01:30:49 Then adds, my heart, my heart of support goes out to true victims in the world. That's kind of hinting that this chick line or the Lord is lying, but he doesn't flat out say it, which suggests that this particular accuser doesn't make the cut. It's a crafty move that shifts the spotlight away from the actual claims and shines on it what he sees as a shift.
Starting point is 01:31:16 shady reasons behind the lawsuit. Four, humanizing himself. It said Jay-Z leaned on a classic PR tactic by bringing in his family to the conversation. He mentioned his wife, Beyonce, their children, Blue Ivy, Roomy, sir, likely hoping her star power would add a layer,
Starting point is 01:31:35 a protective layer. However, this moved in land perfectly. Social media users were quick to point out the irony, referencing Lemonade, Beyonce's album that famously addressed Jay-Z's admitted infidelity and put their private, private struggles on public display. Still by highlighting the toll
Starting point is 01:31:53 the allegations have taken on his family, Jay-Z added an emotional dimension to a statement. It's a play for sympathy, shifting the focus from himself to the strain on his wife and children. While this approach resonated with some others saw it as a calculated move to win over public support.
Starting point is 01:32:10 And fifth, plain victim. Jay-Z positions himself as the real victim in a state, attempting to separate himself from the typical celebrity stereotype by emphasizing his roots. He describes himself as a young man who made it out the projects of Brooklyn. Added, we don't play these type of games. We have very strict codes in honor. At 56 years old, young man, with a net worth of $2.5 billion, those lines feel out of sync with reality. Still, they're clearly meant to invoke his scrappy, street-smart beginnings.
Starting point is 01:32:50 The line, only your network of conspiracy theories and fake physics will believe these idiotic claims that you have levied against me comes off both cryptic and strange. He's claiming victimhood yet flexing that old-school toughness. He wants respect, empathy, and to be seen as misunderstood. At the same time, he might also serve as a warning to attorneys, Busby, and Marie Comey, who recently joined the prosecutorial team in the Combs case, to think twice before challenging him. It's messy and contradictory, but if you look beyond the confusion, the message is clear. Jay-Z's putting certain people on notice.
Starting point is 01:33:29 Okay? Yeah. Again, a little bit of a hit piece, even though I think it's kind of an honest piece a bit, but they're basically saying that Jay-Z statement is more PR than it is just this honest like, you know, clear in the air. It's hard for me to criticize a man and defend himself, right? Like, what do you want to say? Nothing.
Starting point is 01:33:55 No matter what he said, if he said, I ain't do it. That bitch is lying. He'll be like, whoa, he called her a bit. Like, you can't really do anything, right? But you see how Forbes. By the way, Forbes just did an article not too long ago ranking him as like the number one rapper of all the time or something of the sort, because they would drop their list of rappers or whatever.
Starting point is 01:34:12 So they were high on the Jay-Z train. But now they're coming back to say, yeah. I'm wondering if this is turning tides for Jay-Z. Again, I don't think he'll have opposition within the hip-hop culture. He owns and control about 80% in my estimation of the media personalities and entities that disseminate information. I don't think nothing will happen. But it's definitely apparent to me that once we start getting to these other publications, which, by the way, I think he cares about more. With all due respect, who gives a fuck about what academics or the breakfast club says,
Starting point is 01:34:50 especially if you're trying to do a $100 billion play in Times Square, you probably care about what Forbes, New York Daily News, and MSNBC and also NBC News think, right? So we'll see how this plays out, but this is very high-level chess. I'll say the very least, him being an African-American man, and, you know, despite any disagreements or disagreements of how I seem to do, things. I do wish and hope that his history of continuing to break down barriers in business, I hope that continues. As far as these allegations, I don't know what they are. Okay. Cool. Keep
Starting point is 01:35:31 moving a little bit. Keep it moving a little bit. So, oh, and then this was the last thing here. The Haven. If you don't know the story, the Haven and Jay-Z, very intricate, one of the guys who helped JJ wrapped about him early on. He posted this. He says, Dear De Haven, my name is Moral, I cover the U.S. News for a Dutch paper Volksgrant. I'm at the Marcy houses to talk to people about the allegations against him. I would love to hear your thoughts. Do you have a minute?
Starting point is 01:36:14 I'll be here for another hour or a few hours. Now, this is a Dutch paper who sent a journalist to Marcy projects. It shows the ramifications of this lawsuit is going to be felt internationally. Remember, Jay Z's the international mogul and business band at this point. Internationally and really it's a big deal. Now you see why he's trying to get his squash immediately. The Haven actually said my thoughts are it can't be true. That's not who he is.
Starting point is 01:36:45 Despite the disagreement we have with each other, there's no way those allegations are true. I stand with Jay on this one. keep in mind he's been criticizing Jay about a lot of different things but never anything of this sort so you say me standing with Jay at least with this one we'll see
Starting point is 01:37:04 all right cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool yeah this is this is gonna be a cluster fuck people not gonna lie to y'all it's gonna be a cluster fuck now Jay Z spoke on oh not Jay Z 50 cent spoke on
Starting point is 01:37:21 this let's get into what he said. Why did this pop up? Why everyone hates academics? 10 months ago? Oh, damn. Did pretty good views.
Starting point is 01:37:36 Who did that? Aloisa? Okay. All right. Let's get you. Did you go over? East Coast is not like, man, I can't.
Starting point is 01:37:46 We look at the accusations. You know, and we're going to get to Diddy as well, but you look at the accusations. And there's an accusation about Jay Z and Diddy and a teenager, 13-year-old teenager. And we were speaking about just a statement. Right. The statement you were saying you felt like that was calculated.
Starting point is 01:38:00 That was, yeah, the statement is something from, you can tell it was written by a lawyer. Because there's a point where it kind of gets aggressive. He's like, you're going to find out like how I'll handle this. And that's an attorney want to be combative with another attorney. That's not like the publicist wouldn't say this. Right. Yeah. When you, when you see things like this, and there's times when like I saw, I saw this.
Starting point is 01:38:22 Oh, yeah. Yeah. And this is on your, yeah, this is on. Yeah, it says, I don't know what's going. going on but are we still going to have the Super Bowl I'm just asking for a friend yeah yeah I'm asking for Kendrick you know I'm just trying to figure out if we're still doing everything they will fall back but they like the NFL they won't necessarily be be associated to that right do why do you not insert yourself but you you're
Starting point is 01:38:46 on top of every topic right I'm just watching I'm not being a competition I'm being part of culture I'm just talking my opinion right right right because you said the culture like I can't say anything now I'm out of I'm like gonna I'm going to Dre's studio and just sit with Drake And then, you know, maybe I still out of trouble. Nah. But you told us before, you said, you know, sometimes you'll say things because you're being bullied. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:05 You know, we'll say, oh, bully and, oh, when that happens, when that happens, you know, what happens in my timeline, base? Oh, yeah, but you think it's funny. You're next, buddy. Right. Like, I'm like, oh, shoot. What did I do? So you feel bullied?
Starting point is 01:39:15 Yes, I'm being pushed around here. Hey, man, do you see any of the comments where people are like, yeah, when that drop, this is the first place I came. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know that was coming in there, big, like, I put up a ad. Right, right.
Starting point is 01:39:24 That's the least thing that people like. When you have professional pictures, they don't have flaws in them. They don't want to see that. They don't want to see an actual lifestyle. Right. So I put a professional picture like this. Leave me alone, people, because I know you're looking for what I'm going to say. And then I put the next picture up and say, uh, 50 cent action TV.
Starting point is 01:39:36 Right. Right. Don't come to my page looking for trouble. Right. Marketing. So 50's two cents. What did you feel about just that whole thing, man? Um, look, look, as much as people feel like I don't like, like, I haven't had issues with,
Starting point is 01:39:51 with people. I don't like him like that. Like that. Like, I don't like things that you do. And make me a tough. So we're speaking on Diti. We're speaking on Puff. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:57 Okay. But I don't have that thing where I was, we didn't have no thing. I wasn't sending nothing out of him big. If it was on the street side like that, we would be actively doing things to each other. Right. And we wasn't doing that. Right. So it gets to, but Jay, definitely not that.
Starting point is 01:40:08 That's definitely not. It's just being competitive. You know what I mean? So I don't, I look at it. I go, whoa. So I always go into what would I do in a situation like this? Like when that type of thing happens. Like, and I'm going, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:40:22 I just, I hope things are all right for him internally. Speaking on? I mean, at the crap. Because in the statement, they mentioned this his daughter would, you know, being old enough to, because she's about 13. Right.
Starting point is 01:40:34 So it's the same age as his kids. When you're saying he did. Do you ever feel like, man, like there's just so much gotcha that goes on? Yeah. Look, we live in a climate that it's not even what you did. It's what they said you did.
Starting point is 01:40:46 Right. 50 always got some jewels, man. Facts. It's not what you did. It's what they said you did, right? Right. It's like the damage is already done by the allegation itself. Like so if that, like when they say extortion in it,
Starting point is 01:40:59 that means if they've made an amount, if they talk settlement or sent settlement notices that had an amount in it, it feels like extortion. Right. Because you know the damage it does if it does come out publicly. If there's no amount mentioned, and then that's just a tactic. But you will meet people in court and you will do lawsuits yourself,
Starting point is 01:41:17 which I love. Yeah, no, I get into it, baby. Yeah. I spend a million dollars a year. I keep legal counsel year around. So I'm No, I'm gonna sue you as often as you think you would sue me Like that, because they look
Starting point is 01:41:28 And they said once you got the package You've become a target for the attorneys You know who's going to benefit the most From my Puffy situation right now? The lawyers, they're going to look for $7,000 and $5,000 per hour Four lawyers, five lawyers at a time Just to come back for bail hearings and stuff like that
Starting point is 01:41:41 So we spent a lot of money. Do you think Puff is cooked? I'm not sure if he's cooked I'm not sure how bad that it is Because you know what When we think of all of those different allegations they come pile up, Hayes cooked.
Starting point is 01:41:54 Right. But I don't know how much of that turns into actually what he's up against him. Right. The court of public opinion is one thing. Yeah, and then they also say,
Starting point is 01:42:01 you know, once we get in, then, you know, Yeah, yeah, I mean, that public opinion, he's washed. He's washed. Yeah. They washed him like that.
Starting point is 01:42:07 But when you think about, it had a lot to do with him coming out and say, I've been sitting here watching you people, uh, saw my character, this and that, and then the tape comes out.
Starting point is 01:42:17 Boom. So, you know, if the, if the government released the tape, then it would say that they, kind of poison the pool of people. And that could be the facts. Do you believe in conspiracies like that too?
Starting point is 01:42:27 Or could, conspiracy, I don't know if it's a conspiracy, big. Like, when someone leaks something, it goes to TMZ. Like, the regular person, their channels with TMC. When you see something come on
Starting point is 01:42:37 and it comes on CNN, that's a little different. I could have came from the government. You know. And it's interesting because he had problems with people on different levels. Like the Diageo, when he's saying that they're racist
Starting point is 01:42:50 because they didn't, It was doing something different with his pride. Like these people, these are three being out of company. These people have. All right. So, you know, he's not backing down. He's not doubling down. He's kind of, I don't know what to really.
Starting point is 01:43:08 I don't know how to size of their relationship at all, honestly. Like, they have like this really weird relationship. I was actually watching this earlier. Because the nature of 50 and Dittie's relationship, I felt like we understand that. But I don't think we've really explored the nature of Didion 50. No, no, not the 50. Jay-Z and 50.
Starting point is 01:43:43 If you want to see this documentary uncut and ad-free, check out my Patreon at patreon.com. I'm going to run a little bit back on their history. By the way, again, one thing we could realize about a 50, he's not that worry that he's going to get accusations. He says, if anything I got from what he just said there, He says, I go on the offensive. I make sure I hit the lawsuits first.
Starting point is 01:44:05 I make sure that people talk crazy about me on social media. I sue them before they even get to sue me. That's a very smart tactic, if you ask me. But let's watch this a little bit, because the context of them, of their issues kind of go back. And I'm wondering if 50 is kind of like, you know, brought that competitiveness, like even up until now, right? Hold on, no.
Starting point is 01:44:31 I think I should play the big boy thing first. No, no, Jay talked about, no, not Jay. A little different. I could have. So, no, he's going to talk about Jay prevent him from being a Super Bowl. I'll play that first. Can you for it. Because he had different.
Starting point is 01:44:45 He's probably the most from those parties. I'm not going after them. But you're attached to a lot of brands, a lot of big brands, right? I can't. Right, right, right. I don't get to. You taste success. Back to 50s, two cents.
Starting point is 01:45:01 The entire Kendrick and Drake. They use it. Yeah. People would have been if I wanted to combat that went. Right. Because I had so many records that were hit records. To win. So he's saying the system's done, they've done it.
Starting point is 01:45:18 And it's just business. They're looking at it like his big win. So does anyone have time? I don't understand. Drake fan. They won't win. I'm not competing. Look, that is the, we.
Starting point is 01:45:31 We hit a spot where business is so present that he looked at it and said, other stuff, like, behind the scene's stuff. You know what I mean? But they're not public lawsuits and things like that. At that point. And this is when you and you and Kanye were going? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:50 Yeah, you got to get the call. You go, what did you make it the fuck off my phone? Like, what do you think is going to happen there? Like, the energy is you got people to like both of them. They're not going to not. He came in like a purple hoodie. Some Laker gear up. Yeah, with some.
Starting point is 01:46:07 And that vibe big. So I'm just like, ah, no. And you know, I didn't like not invite. I didn't invite these situations, but I didn't run away. Yes. What you want? It was, like, different. How can that happen with Buster, Fat Joe?
Starting point is 01:46:27 Is the Jaru? Is it deeper? No, no. It's the same. that they liked to see him engaged yeah you yeah even if it would it could have still been not like us it just would have been boss right the fat Joe being in yeah man you're getting ready on the pitch perfect you know like and it was and it was those things this that was something in inauguration that in theaters you could have
Starting point is 01:46:52 said something crazy like what all I got to do is act like look well this is urgent right and I walked up okay I think it might be the cam interview then camera on 50 cent. It's him talking about, you know, Jay kind of hating on them type shit. Let me see. Today show.
Starting point is 01:47:14 Here we go. Oh, yeah, this is it. Sorry. Or Eminem that he didn't want you to perform. His old boy for the audience that you're talking about Jay-Z. This was discussed before.
Starting point is 01:47:29 Jay-Z told Dr. Dre, just for people, who's not up on this or Eminem that he didn't want you to perform part of that Super Bowl that had a couple years ago why do you think that is well I just threatened yeah I think not even threatened you know I think it's just when you take the the competition from like our culture is competitive right it is but I think when it goes past the music yourself to blocking things in business then I don't I don't understand that
Starting point is 01:48:02 Like right now, you're not even competing for a slot. You don't have a new song out that he wanted to be on the top 10 or top five. And you're still competing. It's don't make sense. Like, what are we competing for? What's the goal? Like, this even, look, a lot of the competitive stuff, we would call it beef, right? Right. It changed, that terminology changed when it's biggie and Tupac, because we start saying the things that people would say that cause beef in the environment.
Starting point is 01:48:32 When before that, they called the baddling in our culture. Right. Because that's what it is until it turns into some street shit. Right. So when you're not competing for those things anymore, and you start looking and you're going, so what was the problem? You can't exactly remember what the problem was. That's what I went through with Joe.
Starting point is 01:48:52 My issue with Joe, I was like, yo, I think, what was the, like, when do we bump into each other and have altercation or anything? Right. It wasn't that. It was just, he's loyal to a default. Right. He was so loyal that he was, like, on a side without having to be on the side. Right.
Starting point is 01:49:12 You know, and then that, you know, it dissolves itself over time because you ain't really got an issue. Right. Yeah. Absolutely. Talk to me real quick before we get back into anything music-wise. Let's stick with the sports. You have this thing called the fifth quarter.
Starting point is 01:49:26 Explain what the fifth quarter is. So, yeah, like, I mean, I think 50s just even had, like, this interest in everybody. relationship with Jay. And this is kind of like the origin of bit. I'll play a little bit of this, and then we're going to get past all the Jay Z shit, and we're going to go to Boy Wonder and also a few other things,
Starting point is 01:49:42 including United Health Care CEO, killer who popped up in court today, but he was kind of feisty, not going to cap. That's the one I've been waiting for. Go against jigger, your ass is dense. I'm about a dollar. What the fuck is 50 cents? I don't feel the bullets.
Starting point is 01:49:59 You see what I'm saying? And you at least got to let the bullet go. Jay's a big man He's too big to respond I'm a big dick You know the one everybody on He's a piece of work man He always put somebody in front of him
Starting point is 01:50:10 When Jada came for him He put Beanie in front of him When Cam came for him He put true life in front of him And he just Didn't compete No one's scared of 50 cents Want everyone to be clear
Starting point is 01:50:21 No one's scared of 50 cents If we looked at the numbers Then you feel like I did this entire career In four years What he did in 15 I didn't fool Okay I don't want to look at that
Starting point is 01:50:30 Men lie women lie numbers don't what up guys is your boy quake and i'm back with a brand new episode of what really happened if you're not familiar with the series i started the first episode out with michael jackson versus m and m and this is basically the sister series of who really won the who really won series is going to cover more serious beefs and more not really beefs or i'm going to be talking to you lyrically we have to start at the beginning of their roots as we get into this 50 cent and j z story you'll begin to realize that these two are insane business savvy people who play chess, not checkers. So let's get into the major points of what exactly happened between 50 Cent and Jay-Z,
Starting point is 01:51:19 where it all started, where it all went wrong, and where they're at with each other now. We start the story in 1996 when Jay-Z released his debut album on June 25th, titled Reasonable Doubt. At this point, the world finally got introduced to the rapper Jay-Z instead of the person Sean Carter. He finally got a taste of success with that debut album and slowly started becoming a household name. But around this time, there was a guy who grew up in Sal Jamaica Queens, who didn't go by the name of 50 Cent at that time, but rather went by the name of Bubu. And Bubu at the time was simply doing what he had to do in the streets to survive, whether that's sticking people up or selling drugs. Jay Z at this time was building up his relationship in the music industry. And this is where he started to finally form his relationship with Irv Gotti.
Starting point is 01:52:02 And with the relationship with Irv Gotti eventually formed the relationship with Kenneth Supreme McGriff. And Supreme around this time ended up doing a five-year bid in prison and got released on parole in early 1994. And as the years went on, he built up his relationship with people in the music industry in hopes of becoming an executive producer for movies. And as the years went on, Jay Z's relationship with Irv Gotti, Jarl Rule, Murder Inc, DMX, and even Supreme started getting closer and closer.
Starting point is 01:52:28 But around this time, as their relationship was starting to blossom, someone by the name of Boo Boo was slowly starting to build up his own music career by the name of 50 Cent. He started writing music in 1996, and by 1997, he ended up getting introduced to Run DMC's Jam Master Jay. And Jam Master Jay was a huge fan of 50 Cent because Jam Master Jay at the time said that he reminded him of Jay-Z, just a more aggressive version. I created the song, and the concept was somehow the rap game reminds me of the crack game. And Jay-Z's album had came out. And I had created that song probably four months before Jay-Z's record. came out and he had a song that was somehow rap cameras when the crack came.
Starting point is 01:53:05 And to Jay, that was like, yo, he's gonna be ill. Like, you're gonna be nice, like, because I was writing some of the topics, some of the things that he liked Jay Z's music, you know, at that point. So he felt like creatively that I'd find a pocket that would make what I'm doing, the new thing, you know what I mean? And the character difference is so extreme between, me and Jay Z, he knew that I have a moment. But he didn't know how to write songs properly.
Starting point is 01:53:39 It would just be a bunch of bars with no hook in them. So eventually, Jam Master Jay signed him to his record label and started teaching him how to write songs properly. But as time went on, Jam Master Jay got increasingly busy and just had 50 cents sitting around not doing anything. So 50 had requested to leave Jamaster Jay's record label and sign with someone else. He ended up signing with a platinum selling producers trackmasters
Starting point is 01:53:59 who had a deal over at Columbia Records. Immediately he got to work and recorded 30, songs in two weeks. But once again, 50 Cent was found in a position where he was waiting for his album to get released. And at this time, he titled his debut album, Power of the Dollar. And by the time, 1999 rolled around, Jay Z had released three albums and was becoming a household name in America. And as he was becoming the household name, the people around him he was associated with were doing the exact same thing. And that was Jarl Rule with Murder Inc., Irv Gotti, and even Supreme. But even as 50 Cent wasn't getting his music released, he was still learning the ins and out of the
Starting point is 01:54:31 music industry and started going around Columbia Records, learning every department. And with that knowledge, 50 Cent had decided to be proactive in his career and make himself hot. So in April of 1999, he released a song titled How to Rob. And this track took the music industry by storm because 50 Cent was mentioning names of people in the song, which was starting to become forbidden because of the Tupac and Biggie Beef. And it was more of a comedic route not to be taken seriously, but he called out various rappers from DMX, Big Pun, Slick Rick, Master P, Diddy, and And yes, even Jay-Z. And a lot of artists ended up responding to 50 cent, and one of them was Jay-Z.
Starting point is 01:55:12 And Jay-Z, of course, at this time was on top of the world. So this happening was exactly what 50-cent wanted. A couple months later, and Hot 97 had their annual Summer Jam show. Jay-Z was there, and so was 50-cent. Chakazulu, who was doing radio at the time at Columbia, decided to take 50-cent at Summer Jam, took them backstage to meet a bunch of people so that there could be a face attached. with the name and song, and to let people know that it wasn't a serious diss. It was just fun in games.
Starting point is 01:55:36 Well, 50 Cent ended up running into Jay-Z, and Jay-Z said that he's going to get him back for that. At that time, 50 Cent thought it would be later on, but that night, Jay-Z decided to respond to 50-cent's how to rob. 50 Cent. Yeah. So you addressed him at Summer Jam. Yeah. That was a freestyle at first. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:55:51 And then you kind of, then you got on the album. Yeah. But, um... That was actually the first time I performed. I did that record. It was the first time I actually performed it. I didn't even know the record. I was backstage, like trying to make sure that I could get it.
Starting point is 01:56:02 And I've seen him. I bumped right into him while he was backstage. I ran in the jazz, summer jam. And he came up like, yo, I'm 50 saying, yeah. I said, that record you got is hot. Yo, I don't like that record you got. I love that record you got. I like that joint. He was like, thanks, man. So you know, but you know I'm about to go in, right?
Starting point is 01:56:19 I'm like, I didn't know, do what you do. I ain't know he meant right then. He's going to stage. That's the first time I've seen 30,000 people. He said, I'm about a dollar. Who the fuck is 50 states? I'm about dollars. Who the fuck is 50 states. I didn't even know 30,000 people knew 50 cent what? I just sell him a bottle of shit I pay for that. That's what I expect, dude.
Starting point is 01:56:42 He's a funny guy. I like that dude. Of course, after this 50 cent and his team were ecstatic because now all eyes were on 50 cent after one of the biggest rappers in the game mentioned his name. And with that buzz build up, Columbia Records finally started getting a push behind 50 cent and started releasing his singles such as Rowdy Rowdy, Routy, Doug Love, and Your Life's on the Line. On December 28, 1999, Jayze released his... Yo, by the way, chat.
Starting point is 01:57:06 Yo, 50 is hell. Look what he just posted his Instagram. Look at this. Look what he just posted his Instagram. But just right now. Look. Look. 10 minutes ago, look at this.
Starting point is 01:57:17 He says, I want to post this, but I'm afraid I'm going to get shot. This is. That's the sound of the police. That's the sound that I mean. That's the sound of the police. Go. That's the sound of the police.
Starting point is 01:57:31 Yo, why are you doing all this? Yo, 50 needs Jesus, bro. This fourth studio album, volume three, Life in Times of S. Carter. And on track number six, it's hot. Jay-Z put those bars going at 50 cent on wax. Go against jigger, your ass is dense. I'm about a dollar what the fuck is 50 cents.
Starting point is 01:57:53 And in 50 cents eyes, it was officially on between him and Jay-Z. And in early 2050-cent released the response track titled Be a Gentleman. And this track officially appeared on 50 cents compilation mixtape, Guess Who's Back, which was released in April of 2002. Just out of rob a lot of fucking. It's been naming names. Monkey see, monkey do. I don't change the game.
Starting point is 01:58:12 Still, it's acting like I don't get down something. Like I ain't the next to where to cram or something. You're going to talk about your tits that we're running your friend. Then you're going to ask dumb questions. Like, can I live? Look, if I shoot two, I'm famous. If you shoot me, you're brainless. Set it yourself.
Starting point is 01:58:24 I'm slick enough to push your lines to send them back at you. Swiffing up to snatch the Mac and pop that at you. JZ ultimately never ended up responding to the show. track, 50 Cent ended up eventually getting shot nine times and dropped from Columbia Records. And as 50 Cent was dealing with his own issues and where his career was going to go, Jay Z's career was skyrocketing even further. Jay Z in 2000 and 2001 built his relationship up with Murder Inc. Irv Gotti and Supreme. And he was so close with Supreme that he helped fund his movie, which he executive produced
Starting point is 01:58:51 titled Crime Partners in 2001. Jay Z in 2001 was facing his own issues in the rap industry going against Mob Deep and more notably, Nas. And as Jay-Z was facing his own issues battling other rappers, 50 Cent was contemplating his comeback. And in 2002, that's exactly what he did. In April 2002, he released the compilation mixtape, Guess Who's Back? Then in June of 2002, he released the G-U and mixtape, 50 Cent is is the future. And at this point, he created a huge buzz for himself, so much so that record labels were causing a bidding war and trying to sign him. Ultimately, on June 20th, 2002, 50 Cent inked a deal with Eminem and Dr. Dre for shady aftermath records. As 50 Cent was slowly starting to
Starting point is 01:59:28 take over the industry, Jay-Z's relationship with his former friends started to crumble. On November 19, 2002, Jarlah Ruhle released his new album The Last Temptation. The album came with a feature from Nas on the fifth track, The Pledge. This ended up causing issues between Irv Gotti and Jay-Z due to the beef between Jay-Z and Nas at the time. And rumors even started to float around of Irv-Gaudy wanting to sign Nas to Murder Inc. After this, Jay-Z decided to distance himself from Murder Inc., Irv-Gaddy, and Supreme, and rightfully so because later that year, Supreme ended up getting locked up by the
Starting point is 01:59:58 Bia. As 50 cents buzz started getting crazy in the music industry, Jay-Z revealed that in November of 2002, he told all of his artists to flood the music that they got so that they can get some music out there because 50-cent is going to drop his album and he's going to take over the whole year. You know, I remember one time walking in the studio and it was like a small gap and bleak beans. Everybody was in there. And I was like, man, I'm telling you, man, y'all better, y'all better. Y'all got a chance right now and just flood it, put out a lot of music because 50 cents is coming. And, you know, four months later, in the club hit and it was over. And it was just like, okay, now everybody got sitting on the sidelines and wait this tight wave out. And that's exactly what happened in 2003. On February 6th, 50 Cent released his debut album, Get Richard I Tryne and did an outstanding 8702,000 copies within his first week of sales, which ended up being the largest debut in hip-hop album of all time.
Starting point is 02:00:50 And of course, throughout that whole 2003, he simply took over. And with Jay-Z having issues with Irv Gotti and Murder, Inc. and 50 cent not liking them at that time as well. It made perfect sense for Jayze to stand next to 50 cent because he was the hottest thing at that moment. Then on April 18, 2003, Jay Z announces he has a deal with Reebok and the shoes are titled the S. Dot Carter Collection. And to celebrate that, he releases a mixtape titled the S. Dot Carter Collection as well
Starting point is 02:01:15 and decides to jump on 50 cents if I can't track. You can out hustle a hustler. You can out play a player. This rap is a layup. And my former biz, my ex, my son. It's a sprayer. And the music biz. stuff. Then just a couple weeks later on May 1st, 2003, 50 Cent and Jay-Z announced they're doing a tour
Starting point is 02:01:33 together titled Rock the Mike. They even appeared on Entertainment Weekly magazine to talk about the tour and their relationship. The interview was interesting because 50 Cent was a newcomer at that time and Jay-Z had established himself well into his career. So immediately off the bat, Entertainment Weekly asks, so for the record, which of you is the better MC? 50 responds and gives high praise to Jay-Z and says, he is by far. I've been listening to you. to him for a long time, I'm the new kid. Then Entertainment Weekly says that's not what you say on your records. If you respond saying, I know because I'm confident, I've always been competitive, but when you've got eight years under your belt and a kid only has one summer, Jay Z interrupts and
Starting point is 02:02:08 says seniority rules, but all records are made to be broken. You've got Dr. Jay, and then you have a Michael Jordan, and then you've got Kobe. You know what I'm saying? The game just keeps surviving. That's what it's about. If he continues on this path, he could be the greatest. Who knows? It's hard to judge. Entertainment Weekly then asks why team up for a tour? And Jay-Z says, a lot of the time in hip-hop, things that could be big, never get to happen. You used to have the fresh fit in 1984. You had run DMC, Udini, the whole lineup on one tour. You seldom get that now.
Starting point is 02:02:36 I believe in putting out the hottest thing. We could have toured separately, but we figured if we bring it together, it would be unstopped. And throughout the interview, they end up praising each other, talking about their upbringings and a lot of similarities that they have there, as well as the music that they make. With this successful tour came a lot of business ideas and ventures. And on June 16, 2003, 50 Cent also inked a deal with Reebok for his G-unit sneakers. And ultimately, this ended up becoming Jay-Z's idea to give 50-cent a sneaker deal, according to Steve Stout. 50's sneaker came right on back to Jay's, but it was originally Jay's idea to even extend an invite to 50 to do his sneakers.
Starting point is 02:03:12 With 50 and Jay touring and having sneakers under the same company, they decided to shoot a commercial with a freestyle rap with Jay Z and 50 rapping about the shoes. Just plays! When I told you I was fin to blow like C4, stunting the G5 flying the T4, T unit footwear T apparel, I'm so hugged, that blue and that white looks so good. Hip-Man, we're gonna take it to the next level. Kicksmatch that hat in that though back, kiss their color coordinated man. You know that, true fizz. I ain't got a jumpside, but I got a lap for.
Starting point is 02:03:39 I don't swing golf clubs, but I sell like golf brooks. I'm hot man, I rock D-box, man. But then if the G-Unit is the S-Dop man. S-Dots is taking off the LAM. See how we cross-brand. We've all survived, man. Got the soul with the old Gucci's. If you upset, Sue me.
Starting point is 02:03:51 If not, sit back and watch me do me. Bunkin' like pimping. Side line ballers. We don't sweat up for fresh. Let the girls do with balls. Watch talk for me. Drop talk for hate. Brand new S-dots walk with me.
Starting point is 02:04:01 Sort of like you. Just score the bucking. You bow-legged you front and you walking awfully. Oh, it's nothing. Keep score with me. Give me three high seconds. I break breakfast. And they both sold a lot of sneakers.
Starting point is 02:04:12 50 cent revealed that G-unit sneakers outsold JZ sneakers six to one and netted him $80 million with Reebok. And at that point, 50 cents buzz was so high that he was selling more. sneakers than most rappers were selling albums however 50 cent and Jay Z working together wouldn't last too long as November 2003 approached G unit as a group was getting ready to release their debut album beg for mercy and Jay Z was getting ready to release his yeah I've seen this before I've never seen this before he stated that this would be his last album and that he would be ultimately both albums decided on the release date of
Starting point is 02:04:44 November 18th 2003 Jay Z recalls this in his book decoded he says when I was about to release the black album we had to put push up the release date to get the jump on bootleggers, which put us in the same initial sales week as Begg for Mercy. The first album from 50's crew, G unit. 50 in his showman style got on the radio and announced that he was putting money on Begg for Mercy outselling the black album. This was the same year that 50's first album, Gary Trian, had an incredible run, including huge first week numbers. Kevin Lowell's at Def Jam called me asking if I wanted to push the day back a couple of weeks to get 50's album and some other high profile releases that week, a chance to breathe. I love Kevin. He's one of the nicest people you ever meet, but I told him to put my shit out as
Starting point is 02:05:21 planned. And just like that, you have G-Unit versus Jay-Z on a sales battle. So people were waiting for the date of November 18th, 2003, but unfortunately, both albums ended up leaking ahead of time. So the record labels had to push the albums up even further, which would be that following week on Friday, November 14. So that would mean G-Unit and Jay-Z only had three full days of sales leading up to Tuesday, November 18th. Finally, on November 19th, the sales for those three days came in. And Jay-Z's, the Black album, debuted at number one, selling 463. thousand copies the first week. G Units Beg for Mercy debuted at number three, selling 377,000 copies. It's first week, right behind Tupac's Tupac Resurrection album. Jay-Z reflected
Starting point is 02:06:02 on beating G-unit in his book Decoded, saying the black album debuted at number one, beg for mercy was third, and the soundtrack for resurrection, the Tupac documentary, was the number two album on the charts. There was something beautiful about Pock being my closest competition on the charts that week. Aside from the heartbreak of losing two great MCs and one great friend, I've always felt robbed of my chance to compete with Tupac and Biggie in the best sense, and not just over first week sales numbers. Competition pushes you to become your best self, and in the end, it tells you where you stand.
Starting point is 02:06:27 Although Jay-Z beat the G-UIN album when it comes to first week sales, Jay-Z was facing a lot of issues behind the scenes with Rockefeller in Dame Dash and where the album should go creatively when it comes to single selection. And because of poor single selection and timing, the album would eventually not be able to outsell Giuents Beg for Mercy in the long run. As of now, G-Unders Beg for Mercy has sold 6 million copies worldwide, and Jay-Z's Black album has sold 4 million copies. Following this, Jay-Z officially announced his retirement, of course, and stepped away from music.
Starting point is 02:06:54 In the meantime, 50 Cent was just getting started. He set up Lloyd Banks' young buck to release their debut albums in 2004. While on December 8, 2004, Dame Dash and Jay-Z announced their selling Rockefeller records, and Jay-Z gets officially announced as the president of Def Jam Records. Then in early 2005, there would be issues between one of G-Units' newest members, The Game, and Jay-Z. 50 Cent ended up getting involved in this because he felt Jay-Z could destroy the game's career because he was a new artist. On February 7, 2005, Jay-Z spit a freestyle that the game took offense to. A couple days later, the game had called 50 Cent on February 10, 2005, to ask him what he should do in this situation.
Starting point is 02:07:29 50 said that he said, hold on, do not do anything. But that night, the game decided to diss Jay Z on stage, and this caused more issues between 50 Cent and Jay Z. He had a situation with Jay, and I got a phone call from him. He was in Amsterdam when he called me back on the stage, and I told him, I said, Just sit tight. Let me see exactly what it's about. You know, I'll get in contact with J and C. Hyatt. You know, really what it is. And before I could get back to him, he went on stage and told everybody to suck them off.
Starting point is 02:07:56 If you want to know more about what happened between the game versus Jay-Z, check out my documentary, The Game versus J-Z. What Really Happened. The link is in the description below. 50 Cent had a conversation with Jay-Z and said, Do Not Attack the Game. Just Let Me Fix the Situation. But ultimately, what ended up happening is the game turned on 50 Cent, and then 50 had to worry about one of his own crew members, and then they ended up having their own beef.
Starting point is 02:08:16 Jay Z had the exact same thing happen as well around this time with Rockefeller crumbling, Dame Dash doing his own thing, artists leaving left and right. So Jay Z had to focus on being the president of Def Jam and signing new acts. On October 12, 2005, Supreme reached out for help from Jay Z and Diddy to help him beat his case that he was facing when it comes to the murder charges. Ultimately, Jay Z and Diddy did not help Supreme when it comes to his case. Jay Z was still distant from Irv Gotti and Murder Inc as a whole. Then Jay Z in 2006 would make some great Def Jam president moves. He ended up signing Rick Ross in January of that year and finally returned to the music scene
Starting point is 02:08:49 by releasing his ninth studio album, Kingdom Come on November 21st, 2006. Then in 2007, things would start to heat up once again with 50 Cent and Jay-Z, but this time it would be with one of Jay-Z's protégés, Kanye West. And if you want a more detailed look between 50 Cent versus Kanye West, check out the what really happened documentary on that. Then on August 22nd, 2007, 50 Cent and Jay-Z would see each other once again at Screenfest. At that event, Sierra decided to bring on 50 Cent as a surprise guest to perform their track together can't leave him alone 50 cent then stayed on stage and performed i get money as well as a couple
Starting point is 02:09:19 other tracks then was scheduled to leave however ti got on stage and decided to bring his surprise guests and even called him the king of new york which was j z and of course this was a great moment for jz because he was in new york in madison square garden and j z then knew that he wanted to bring out con yu west so that they could have a full moment but 50 cent decided to interrupt that he decided to go up on stage regardless of people telling him he had to leave went up on there and a surprise the hell out of Jay-Z. If you look at the video, he looks visibly upset. Then 50 Cent created it into a whole moment where Diddy got on stage to his beats and of course it was Ti, Kanye, Jay-Z and it turned it to a huge hip-hop event.
Starting point is 02:09:56 And you run up on stage when he's doing a little too much. Yeah. He didn't like that, yeah. He didn't like it. Tell me what he said to you when you ran on the stage. You had to come up here, huh? That's so great. Because he was going to have a moment. So he had the shit. So you ran up there. Yeah, and then my victory lapsed. And then Kanye came out. Yeah, and he was like, you're scared this damn. I swear to God, like, I don't have a problem. I never have a problem with someone who doesn't actually have a problem with me. That's just who I have.
Starting point is 02:10:24 That's what I think he's scared? No, I think he was nervous when he saw me. It's a gorilla versus a teddy bear. How do you know? Yeah, like when he came out on to stage, something was wrong because it was supposed to me. Because he didn't know what the hell you were in there. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 02:10:36 So Jay says to you, you have to come up here. Yeah, you had to. Yeah, he was going up to stay. I said, I run New York. He stopped. He hates you. on September 11, 2007, 50 Cent and Conn U.S. went up against each other in a sales battle, and a week later on September 18th,
Starting point is 02:10:51 50 Cent ended up losing to Kanye West in the battle. After the first week, sales, 50 Cent released the I Get Money remix with Jay-Z and Diddy on September 17th, 2007. Unfortunately, no music video was shot for due to conflicting schedules. Jay-Z spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the verse he did for 50 cents, I Get Money. Entertainment Weekly said, I just heard your verse on 50s, I Get Money remix last night. How did that come together? Jay Z responded saying, I just wanted to show that we're not enemies.
Starting point is 02:11:16 It's a great story for this. You're the first person to ask, so you got great timing. 50 Cent called me to ask for the remix, and I told him he couldn't put the remix out until the first week came. I didn't want it to affect any type of numbers. So as you see, it came out the 17th when the sound scan cycle is finished. So just to show, I'm still competing. We're not enemies. We're just competing.
Starting point is 02:11:33 Then Entertainment Weekly said, at the end of that verse, I love how you say New York is still mine, even though you've transitioned into a CEO role. You still want to put that out there? He said, yeah, I want to. was an artist mode at that time when i'm an artist mode why wouldn't new york be mine right it certainly is and it was ironic that j z said this because funkmaster flex revealed that around this time when 50 cent had that i get money track and was yelling out that he runs new york funk flex was getting behind 50 cent and saying that he is the top king of new york right now j z according to funkmaster flex called him and said no that's not
Starting point is 02:12:06 the case we're giving him that title too early and flex says j z was jealous of 50 cents dominance and success at that time. Just like all the other air personalities, he used to call me if he had something he felt me giving my opinion or if I, I'll keep it a thousand. I think one time I said 50 cent was hot and 50, you remember. You remember this. You remember. I saw I'm not lying. Not at all.
Starting point is 02:12:29 Okay. 50 cent was hot. I went on the radio that day and I said he was the king of the city. I mean, Kaiser, I got to mention your name today, bro. Kaiser connected Jay. and Jay said we can't give him that right now. Too soon. How'd you remember?
Starting point is 02:12:46 I remember this conversation. You was used to it with me. I've had it on speaker. And he said it was too soon. I disagreed. It was just I disagreed. And he's an important guy. But when he called me, I wasn't, I get it.
Starting point is 02:13:03 If there's another DJ harder than me, I'm okay with that. Sure, right. But if there's another DJ hotter than me, there is. You know, it's a lot of DJs hotter than me. Bigger to me. make things happen more than me. So I would understand if somebody says somebody's the king of the city.
Starting point is 02:13:17 50 Cent also felt that the battle between him and Kanye West was really a battle between him and Jay-Z because Jay-Z at the time was the president of Def Jam and Kanye was signed to Def Jam so Jay-Z made sure he would fund Kanye's album and do everything in his power to make sure Kanye beats 50 cent. And the reason why 50 Cent feels like this is because in Jay-Z's book Decoded,
Starting point is 02:13:36 it definitely sounds like Jay-Z is taking credit for beating 50 Cent in the Kanye West battle. In his book, he said this. A couple years back when I was still running Def Jam, 50 Cent challenged Kanye West to a battle over who would get the biggest first week sales numbers. This was when 50's Curtis album and Kanye's graduation album were scheduled to come out the same day. The whole thing was fun and useful marketing, and Ye won by close to 300,000 units.
Starting point is 02:13:59 But it was also kind of strange to watch people, regular fans, get so caught up in his battle over numbers only in hip-hop. I'm not complaining. I love the competition, even the sales battles. Then in 50 cents book, Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter. he elaborated how Jay-Z used Kanye to beat him. In the book, he said, even worse, I was competing against an artist whose label was doing everything,
Starting point is 02:14:19 and I mean everything, to make sure he beat me. Jimmy Iveen might not have cared about beating Kanye, but Jay Z, who was the head of Def Jam at the time, damn sure cared about beating me. Jay had been extremely uncomfortable with my run in New York City for years, so he did everything under the sun to make sure he could beat me through Kanye. I realized what I was up against in the weeks leading up to the release when Kanye and I both agreed to do joint appearance.
Starting point is 02:14:41 on BET. I had planned to bring M&M with me, but BET told Interscope, we couldn't have guests. Interscope said fine and told Eminem not to come. Then the day of the show, I get there and Jay-Z is performing with Kanye. So clearly Jay-Z had gone to some length to get around that no-guess rule, whereas Interscote records had just let it go. They simply weren't as motivated as Jay-Z. Jay Z took a lot of pride in Kanye's victory. I think that's one of the reasons he's so disappointed in Kanye today. Jay knows how much he supported Kanye during that period, but it wasn't enough for Kanye. That probably heard Jay. Jay even mentioned my battle with Kanye, in his book be coded. Taking a little shot at me when he wrote,
Starting point is 02:15:13 rappers who use beef as a marketing plan might get some quick press, but they're missing the point. I congratulate Jay for doing the right thing by his artist in that situation. But I think he was the one who missed the point. First, like I mentioned, there was no actual beef in that particular competition. Second, without the competition, I have little doubt that due to Interscope's missteps, my sales would have been much lower. Our competition actually turned what would have been a tough first week for me into a very respectable one. If I had just left interscope to their own devices, I might have only sold $400,000 that week. Instead, See, that's when I think 50 is kind of possibly going through his Drake moment
Starting point is 02:15:45 where the biggest artist on the label is now looking at the label trying to think, are you sabotaging me or not? Right? Because that's what 50 was doing at the time. He started calling out Jimmy Iveen. He really started thinking that the label that helped make him the biggest artist in the world was now actually working against him. And essentially, if you think about the Drake lawsuit now, if we're thinking about it being aimed at UMG, he's kind of saying the same.
Starting point is 02:16:18 Obviously, two different circumstances. One's after a rap battle. This is after a few questionable moves in 50's opinion by Interscope. I managed to salvage a tough situation and create a historic moment. As I later told an interviewer, Kanye West gets the trophy, 50 cent gets a check. That's no shot at Kanye. He made a lot of money too, but it's a trade I'll take every time. Despite all this, 50 Cent and Jay Z decided to continue to work together, and later that year on November 20th, 2007, they collaborated for Freeway's new album, which was released under Rockefeller Records and GUnit Records.
Starting point is 02:17:24 Both Jay Z and 50 Cent executive produced the album and appeared on the track Rockefeller Billionaires, and 50 Cent appeared on the track, Take It to the Top. In 2008, 50 Cent took his dominance to the next level and ranked above Jay Z on Forbes Hip Hop 20th biggest earners. He ended up earning $150 million that year, number one, with Jay-Z being number two right below him with $82 million. That was the year, of course, that 50 cents sold his vitamin water steak and made $100 million off that. As 2009 rolled around, 50 Cent would end up having issues with Rick Ross, the person that Jay-Z signed back in 2006 to Debt Jam. A lot of people speculated behind the scenes that it was Jay-Z that gave Rick Ross the green light to go at 50-cent. After that battle of Rick Ross, later in 2009, 50 Cent would then shift his focus and go at Jay-Z. On September 3, 2009, 50 Cent released the music video for his song Flight 187,
Starting point is 02:18:13 and in the song, he sends shots at Jay-Z. Then on September 8, 2009, Jay-Z releases his new album, Blueprint 3, and on the track, A Star is Born, he mentions 50 Cent. Then a couple days later, on September 13, 2009, Kanye West decides to go on stage and interrupt Taylor Swift. same night during that same award show, Jay-Z was performing with Alicia Keys and LoMama went on stage randomly as well. This ended up becoming huge gossip in the celebrity media news and a lot of celebrities got asked, what would they do in this situation? 50 Cent did an interview on September 16, 2009 and said that nobody would be comfortable going on stage if he was there and that if Kanye
Starting point is 02:18:57 did that to him, he would black his eye. I wish he would come take one of my words. I could black his eye in front of everybody. Yeah, you might not have put up with her the way that she did. He pick and choose who you feel safe doing that with though be honest like he shouldn't worry about me pink was gonna get to him yeah she's gonna take him out i think then on september 22nd 2009 while jasy was doing his promo run for blueprint three he stopped by bbc one's trevor nelson's show and Trevor revealed what 50 cent said about kanya west and that nobody would go on stage if 50 was there jzy responded by saying no one is scared of 50 cent i don't think you'd have done that if that was 50 up there you know i think he would have done that that was 50 cent no one's scared of 50 cents well you know what i mean i'm just you
Starting point is 02:19:36 I want everyone to be clear. No one's scared of 50 Cent. And around this time, 50 Cent was promoting his new album before I self-destruct and was doing various interviews responding to Jay-Z calling him a punk and saying that he avoids real beef. No, I think the guy who was talking to him made him feel like a punk. You see what I'm saying? So he had to say, yo, nobody's scared of 50.
Starting point is 02:19:54 Let's get this clear, nobody is scared of 50. You know, but I'm not the issue. Him making you feel like a punk is the issue. At the end of the day, I look at it and people don't assess themselves, even really intelligent people. Jay's a smart guy. You know what I'm saying? He'll analyze other people and other things that they're doing
Starting point is 02:20:10 and not actually look at what's happening to him and his transition and difference. But his actual, right now, he's in a real safe space. He created this real safe horror. This is why people walking on the stage and why shit is happening like that. A lot of it, it wouldn't have been like that if he actually... Little mama walked on stage. People and other things that they're doing and not actually look at what's happening to him and his transition and difference.
Starting point is 02:20:33 But his actual, right now he's in a real safe space. He created this real safe aura. This is why people walking on the stage. Shout to a little mo. And why shit is happening like that. A lot of it, it wouldn't have been like that if he actually dealt with his issues himself. See, he's a piece of work, man.
Starting point is 02:20:53 He always puts somebody in front of him. When Jada came from him, he put Beanie in front of him. And Bini went back and forth for Jada Gis. When Cam came for him, he put true life in front of him. And they went back and forth. And he just didn't compete. Then towards the end of October in 2009, Beanie Siegel started voicing his frustration towards Jay-Z and them having a fallout. On November 4th, 2009, Beanie Siegel and 50 Cent appeared on the same stage at a radio station and discussed Jay-Z.
Starting point is 02:21:24 And because both of them had a dislike towards Jay-Z, 50-cent started bringing Beanie Segal close to him and started using him to go against Jay-Z. I think he has good intentions, Jay, but he's using a traditional corporate business model. And I think the only way, place that he really went wrong is saying a lot familiar. Like, we family. That's the whole thing. Like, for me, like, when you say family, like, that means something to me. You know what I mean? Like, following this, 50 Cent released his new album on November 9, 2009, titled Before I Self-Destruct.
Starting point is 02:21:57 And on track number four, so disrespectful, he sends some shots at Jay-Z. Jay's a big man. He's too big to respond. I'm a big dick. You know the one. Everybody on A couple days later On November 13th,
Starting point is 02:22:08 2009, Beanie Siegel and 50 Cent collaborate for a new track titled I Go Off. And at the end, 50 Cent is attacking Jay-Z and bigging up Beanie Siegel. You change, man. You let the money change you, Jay. You used to be
Starting point is 02:22:23 from my... Now you should pass the great pool pine. You don't want to shoot me. I go on. I take... I take... I can... I'll feed off you.
Starting point is 02:22:36 Eat your ass a lot. I live by Congress, Crees. Then on November 22nd, 2009, was the American Music Awards, where M&M and 50 Cent performed Crack a Bottle. And 50 Cent at that time was backstage after they finished the performance. Jay-Z went up on stage and accepted his award. After his speech, he said at the end, Women, Men Lie, Men-Ly, Numbers Don't, and started laughing.
Starting point is 02:23:02 Immediately after that, people assumed it was shots at 50 cents. Men-Ly, women, lie, numbers don't. A couple days later, on November 25th, 2009, 50 cent responded to those AMA comments and simply said Jayzy has been saying that a long time and he didn't take those as shots towards him. Now in the AMAs, of course it was rumors when he got a award. He said men lie, women line, numbers don't. Right, right.
Starting point is 02:23:23 He says he's going at fifth. This is his little remark at fifth and sort of laughing. But he's been saying that before. He said that before. No, when you heard that. See, when I seen it, I wasn't thinking about that. I was thinking about I just seeing Fifth perform. So fifth might be backstage.
Starting point is 02:23:34 And now he has to walk backstage. So I thought that, you know, it might have been a problem with situation because at that point there's no security back there. It's just you and him. No, he wouldn't. Now, he didn't say none. I didn't take that direct to us. If that was, then he should say something a little more direct
Starting point is 02:23:46 so we could stop rapping and get right to the shit. Then on November 30th, 2009, Beanie Siegel was going around radio stations attacking Jay-Z and revealed in an interview that Jay-Z was gearing up to get Nas on the Empire State of Mind remix to diss him and 50 cents. In the interview, this is what Beanie Siegel said. I'm nice at Chess 2. They say he got a record supposed to come out, the remix to the New York shit. He's popping shots at me, popping shots at 50, but he pulled Nause. on the record hoping that a guy will respond to it and come at Nas and now's going to come right
Starting point is 02:24:14 back. He ain't going to hold no punches. He's going to come right back. He should come right back, but look at the moves. I see that. I'm not worried about Nas. I did that already. I did that already in defense of him. I did that. I was there when dude was in the studio on the couch scratching his head under pressure. And what he's referring to here is when Jay Z was going at Nas. Beanie Segal is saying that he helped Jay Z respond to Nas and try and destroy him. Ultimately though, this Empire State of Mind remix with Nas going at 50 and Beanie Siegel never got released. We don't know what source Beanie Siegel had at the time when he was saying this, but it would have been an interesting thing to hear. Then on December 2nd, 2009, 50 Cent talked to Rolling Stone more about his relationship with
Starting point is 02:24:49 Beanie Siegel and the song, I Go Off. Rolling Stone said, I go off your single with Beanie Siegel recently came out. There's a lot of speculation that he's going to be in G unit. Is that going to happen? 50 responded saying, there's a strong possibility. We're going to be doing it. We're starting with this song and the deal structure between me and him is complete 50% profit split. It's not like an artist deal like you get 50% of everything. For me to deal with Beanie, I'd have to explore the ability of doing that entire project because I wouldn't want to force him to make commercial music where you can make decent money. A lot of the money without selling a lot of records and just let it be what it is. That's the details, the difference between doing it deal with that artist and other
Starting point is 02:25:22 artists. Ultimately, though, as time went on, Beanie Siegel never ended up officially signing to GUnit Records. Then on December 5th, 2009, 50 Cent was doing his tour, promoting his before I self-destruct album. And on Tim Westwood, he got asked about Jay-Z and said that Jay-Z isn't a big artist worldwide. He's only big in America. difference in energy internationally and 50 cent in jZ in fact his largest selling record sold 400 and 30 something thousand copies my largest selling records plural two of them sold five million so let them be fooled in america and think there's a competition there because america can be purchased we can buy it with marketing dollars you see what i'm saying but the rest of the world there's not enough marketing dollars to go
Starting point is 02:26:05 around after all the crazy back and forth with 50 cent in j z in 2009 50 and j z 50 and would run into each other on September 3rd, 2010. Eminem and Jay-Z around this time, we're doing a couple concerts together, and they performed at Comerica Park on September 3rd. While there, they brought out a lot of guests, including 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, G-Unit, D12, and various other people. The crazy thing is, 50 and Jay ran into each other backstage, and a photo of them two talking went viral online when it got released,
Starting point is 02:26:31 and a lot of people were wondering if the conversation was cordial and what exactly they talked about. MTV asked 50 Cent about and what they talked about, and he said this, We got a chance to kick it for a minute. I know people were interested in what the conversation was like, but they can ask Jay-Z. I take people's actions as if it's genuinely how they feel. I can only use what I saw you do as if that's what you meant. I can't understand what your motivation was prior to that. I had a conversation with PDD the night before Jay.
Starting point is 02:26:54 He gave me a whole new perspective on his actions. We created a little clarity out there. After this, 50 cent and Jay-Z wouldn't really spar back and forth with each other anymore. As time went on, they both started focusing more on their businesses and less on music. On May 1st, 2012, though, Jadekis was sitting down with Hookhead and revealed that he was in the studio with Jay-Z and J-Z was praising 50-cent's hook ability. J-Dic-Kis said this in the interview. That's why Fifth was another kind of monster because his hook game was on a whole other level. Me and Hove was talking about it one time and he was like, yo, this guy's hooks are crazy.
Starting point is 02:27:26 And as the years went on, 50 Cent would consistently mention Jay-Z in his interviews and critique some of his business moves, such as September 2012 when 50-cent said, Jay-Z stays close to artists. to remain relevant. Then while out on a promo run for his album Animal Ambition, 50 Cent said in an interview in April of 2014 that he's the one that made Jay-Z retire from the years of 2003 to 2006. We were Jay-Z from 2003-2006. I saw 23 million records between 2003 and 2006.
Starting point is 02:28:13 He stopped making music, said I'm going to go be the president of a record. Like, I quit. We'll get back to what me and you got later, Fifth. I quit, timeout, I'll come back to play later. Then he signed the Beyonce contract. I was like, yeah, men, lie, women, lot of numbers don't. Right.
Starting point is 02:28:28 What's that joke? That shit is a tough one to be. Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. I can't really get with it. Like, when she started doing a lot, I said, God damn, he didn't win got breasts. In 2014, 50 Cent revealed that Beyonce attacked 50 Cent over the back and forth him and Jay-Z had. And this might be because 50 Cent would constantly say that overseas people would not know Jay Z. They would only know Jay Z as Beyonce's husband.
Starting point is 02:28:52 And B was one time she jumped up or, she jumped off of the ledge. Came running over because she thought me and Jay had issues. And I was like, what the fuck? And I was like, did she really just jump down and run away? Like, Beyonce off a ledge? Yeah, what happened? She's in the cosmopolity, huh? She really a superhero. She jumped down and no, she was like this, what? Like that Bonnie and Clyde for real. You try this or what, boy?
Starting point is 02:29:08 I'm here. Word. She fucked down like at me. She looked at me like that. I was like, what? I looked at me like, I was like, you know, you know, I said, what the fuck? going on, man. B at the hell. They jumped down up for the joint. Like, what? What's up? Oh. Then in December of 2014, 50 cents said that Jay-Z
Starting point is 02:29:27 will fail at boxing promotion. He told BET, I think they're going to clean Jay-Z up. You can't just buy your way into it by purchasing existing companies and stuff like that. You look at the roster of fighters. You have to have experienced people around to run it. But boxing is like the fur-coat business. We don't know how much they actually sold
Starting point is 02:29:43 the jacket for. Ironically enough, as the years went on, both 50 Cent and Jay-Z failed at boxing promotions. business. SMS promotions, which was 50's company, closed down, and Jay-Z's Rock Nation Sports closed down as well. Then on June 30th, 2017, Jay-Z released his new album 4-44, and 50-cent decided to clown the album for attacking. Oh, damn, they've really been, like, back and forth, like, in this, like, kind of, more business, but I think it's just a little personal, too.
Starting point is 02:30:11 Newer artists, because of the history. Because of the history. I listen to Jay's the 4-44. I thought this was all right, you know what I like to get it. But I'm gonna keep it 100. It was a little, it was too smart. Like I was supposed to be wearing. Yo, I go alive, man, 50 undefeated. Like, glasses and like tie, like a fucking sweater around my waist.
Starting point is 02:30:33 It was like Ivy League. Now, I'm gonna tell you the truth, this is hot out here. So they don't wanna hear that shit. They just wanna have a good time. You know what I'm saying? And fuck that, you can't be the best rap ass 47, because the new is here. They're coming with new shit going on.
Starting point is 02:30:47 That's why I was laughing when the, but the, but the, you know, The Amigos' because they up. They're up next. You got let the young people come in. They're going to future and all this. These are the fucking is a long beat. What the fuck is the matter with you, man?
Starting point is 02:30:57 I ain't going to hold you up, son. It was like golf course music. Then on July 5th, 2018, 50 cents said that Jay-Z is a very sneaky person. And a lot of people don't know how the sneaky stuff he does against his opponents. 50 said that Jay-Z still gets at Nas by releasing the same day as him.
Starting point is 02:31:14 Because at that time, Jay-Z and Beyonce released their new album and Nas released his new album. and Nas released his new album at the same time. And 50 said he was doing that just to clown Nas' releases. The environment is crazy because he's hurried up and dropped Beyonce. His mad rumors. Him and Beyonce dropped the album, so. Yeah, was fucked up what they did to Nas, huh?
Starting point is 02:31:32 That's crazy. I know what you did the Nas, Jay. That's fucked up. I feel like... Nah, he come out on the same weekend. This shit's still slapping him without everybody noticing what's going on. But that was still like, oh, so when this is he coming out? Oh, my shit coming out.
Starting point is 02:31:50 I ain't heard one of the records on the radio. Why the fuck you do that, man? I'd be saying, fuck that, I do whatever the fuck I want to do, and they'd be looking at it'd be like I'm grimy for doing that. This is going to be super quiet doing some real grimy shit. Looking and see if anybody knows to grimy shit, I just did. You know what I'm saying? You just got a different way of doing things.
Starting point is 02:32:12 Then more recently on April 18, 2020, 50 Cent voiced his frustration at Jay-Z for the Super Bowl. Bowl halftime show. Noriega on drink champs revealed that Jay-Z told him that if it wasn't for Eminem 50 Cent wouldn't be performing on the Super Bowl. I hit the homie. The big homie Jay-Z, right? I said to my nephew, I said, yo, listen, I have to ask him this straight up. So I said, yo, why? Who is the people that's on NFL? And he said to me, and I'm sorry for anybody who don't understand and he said
Starting point is 02:32:49 the white guy called for it for 50. So I said who's the white guy? I'm big of this Jimmy Avine. He said no. Them and them called directly
Starting point is 02:33:05 for 50. That's his guy. He said, I can't do it if I can't break 50. But that's his God. That's beautiful. Guess who's Dre's guy? Your God. And of course, 50 cent caught wind of this and responded on Instagram saying,
Starting point is 02:33:20 why would he have to say that should be a question, Nori? Your big homie is running around trying to look like a painter. Then he posted a photo of Jay-Z being compared to Basquiat and resemblance of looks. And in the caption, he said, why did he say the white boy? Why didn't he say the biggest rap artist in the world? With the laughing emoji, happy Easter man, enjoy the holidays. Then more recently on September 16, 2022, 50 Cent responded to young guru, who is Jay-Z's right-hand man when it comes to audio engineering for his music.
Starting point is 02:33:44 In the clip, Young Guru reveals that 50 cents hooks were amazing and that they always envied his hooks. 50 cents saw the video and responded on Instagram saying, I love you guys too. I just need somebody to compete with. It makes me find a way. Jay-Z knows I will always find a way. And that recent post basically sums up the relationship between 50 Cent and Jay-Z. They used each other a lot for energy and they used each other a lot for business. And it never really ever got disrespectful.
Starting point is 02:34:08 They were just clowning each other back and forth whenever they did respond to each other. It was nothing ever that serious. And these two are some of the smartest businessmen in the world. So of course, they're going to use certain 48 laws of power tactics against each other to benefit each other. And 50 Cent sums up their relationship the best when he talked to MTV News in 2011. He said, we don't have those kind of relationships. These people are people I associate with. We are in the same business.
Starting point is 02:34:30 We are not necessarily friends. We don't call each other for no reason. It's not like we have something against each other to make us enemies. Me and Jay will use each other repeatedly for energy. And that's it for 50 Cent versus Jay-Z. What really happened? It would have been one of the greatest hip hop battles of all time. If Jay-Z actually engaged with 50 cent when it comes to battling,
Starting point is 02:34:48 it would have been the biggest thing ever possibly bigger than Nas versus. So health professional. I'm Jay-Z, I'll pause. Hey, yo, why the hell? Let's get into it, man. Get into it. I was trying to this topic earlier. Chat, that last two hours was just, hell.
Starting point is 02:35:04 I ain't even going to lie to you, man. She was crazy. Okay, real quick, real quick, chat, real quick. Let's get into it. yo why did mustard try to expose boy wonder like this this is unbelievable now this is what muster posted on a story like like two days ago he said yo boy wonder say it ain't so man then he posted basically looked like boy wonder messaging somebody else and boy wonder says west coast rap is ass then the person says hater or whatever whatever and then this is mustard down here
Starting point is 02:35:35 commenting on that screenshot i guess somebody screenshot boy one and said it to muster and said boy wonder tell me this ain't real croady then essentially um it looks like uh boy wonder says i guess the guy says to to boy wonder the guy who's screenshot in him says yo bro you got to hear this shit outside and and boy wonder says ass nobody outside l a want to hear that shit and boy wonder says i thought you was a real one i ain't know you felt this type of way. Then he posted this screenshot and he's
Starting point is 02:36:12 and this is this is from mustard, this is mustard screenshot and he says real shit I've ever seen. And okay so let's move on from the January stuff but May 3rd right is May 3rd or something 3rd. It looked like
Starting point is 02:36:27 Boy Wonder responds to the hot 100 list that looked like it had Not Like us is number one And he says good shit beat hard as fuck And he says bro you
Starting point is 02:36:42 So mustard is saying bro you you you You said you like not like us What you mean? And then he says well There's enough yellow tape to go around Okay Now I'm gonna be honest with you Mustard
Starting point is 02:36:53 I'm gonna be honest with you And boy wonder First of all I understand why mustard did this Things a little weak But I understand why he did this I'm gonna tell you why Mustard has clearly picked aside.
Starting point is 02:37:07 All right. Drake will never work with mustard again in history. Okay? And what's happened is that there's so much of picking sides that we've seen everybody on Kendrick's side, damn near almost either be on some worst codes or whatever. They're picked aside. A lot of people who work with Drake,
Starting point is 02:37:26 they're not really saying fuck Kendrick or fuck whatever, whatever. And here's also my problem with this whole thing. Yo, and let me be the first to speak on it. If someone hasn't already. Yo, Drake and Kendrick is not Drake versus the West Coast. I know the rest of y'all niggas want to be involved so damn bad. A lot of y'all niggas. And by the way, I agree with Boy Wonder.
Starting point is 02:37:55 Okay? By the way, I did hit up Boy Wonder. I said, damn, why didn't they can put this out? He said, yo, bro, there's a private conversation, whatever, whatever. Fuck that. My nigga. Y'all West Coast dudes. got to get out of denial.
Starting point is 02:38:07 Mustard. I'm shocked that you're jacking all of this shit. You make music that travel outside of California. 99% of West Coast music don't travel outside of California. Get mad all you want. Y'all be acting like, yo, when I go to California, I flick the radio on, I'm driving an Uber. Y'all are playing songs I've never heard in life.
Starting point is 02:38:35 That's a fact. And the majority of people, if they're going to be honest about the West Coast, they'll say the same thing. When we watch the pop out respectfully, until everybody that DJ Dickhead brought up, we're like, who is this? No disrespect to y'all, but the majority of y'all underground coming up the ranks artists, their music don't go past California. That's not a dis. It's reality. Actually, it's a props to the West Coast because y'all could have an underground scene that nobody outside of California listens to.
Starting point is 02:39:14 Like, literally, nobody. Like, I don't know why. And again, I'm not talking about every artist, just to be clear, I'm not talking about every artist. That's what I said 99%. Because there are definitely West Coast artists that, other than Kendrick, other than schoolboys, Q other than, you know, and I wouldn't even say all the Aptol's music because he doesn't really drop hits like that. But people do know Apsol. Obviously not Roddy Rich. We're not, not Wighty Rich. And not all those guys saw, well, all of Roddy Rich song, I'm going to
Starting point is 02:39:52 be honest with him, all a Roddy Rich song kind of leave California. YG's music now, I don't know if he leaves Cali. I'm going to be honest with you. And watch, I'm pretty sure somebody on YG's team is going to be like, yo, blood, why you say that? I'm just speaking of truth, my niggas. Please don't hurt me. Please don't hurt me. I'm just telling you all the truth. Y'all look like y'all about to try to West Coast jump,
Starting point is 02:40:13 um, um, um, boy wonder. About seven or eight years ago, YG's music, anytime he dropped the song, even bicking back, P and, like all of those songs were national. These days when YG dropped the majority of music, not all, because some of the, you know, when, when the label get really behind us,
Starting point is 02:40:36 song and they start oh okay we know that song but the majority of yg's music stays in california rottie rich music and i think it's because of melody his music always seems to go further most of what dj musters produces goes further than cally kendrick obviously is an international artist um who else i'm gonna be honest with you lefty gunplay i think he's a great artist lefty so don't catch feelings i know yeah yo west coast niggis are the most sensitive niggis him that niggins outside California don't listen to them. What you mean blood? What you mean?
Starting point is 02:41:13 What you mean? We don't listen to you. That's a fact. We don't. And it's not about everybody. You see, everybody's trying to ride this Kendrick wave, especially on the West Coast. But they're acting like they're Kendrick. Everybody and their mama listens to at least a Kendrick song.
Starting point is 02:41:33 Kendrick has dropped this music that everybody in their mom has listened to. not the rest of y'all and i'm not talking about everybody like some people they might have had a song some people have name value oh three grito we you should be if you're a hip-hop fan you should know oh three grito do you know every song he puts out probably not that's just reality it's not a dis against him if anything and this is why you know salute to um my boy jerks the joint when i interviewed him West Coast artists need to have a gut check time with themselves. We get it. The beautiful thing about the West Coast,
Starting point is 02:42:11 your music could be self-sustainable, only staying in the West Coast. But if y'all want to become what Kendrick is, or y'all want to expand, y'all need to work the markets outside of the West Coast. That's how you get bigger. Because a lot of, yo, let me tell you this. And I don't know if everybody, you know,
Starting point is 02:42:30 these days people, there's so much dick riding And everybody's going to act like every West Coast artist is Kendrick. The majority of people, I was one of these people, too. I remember going to L.A. And I was like, it was like a culture shock when I realized this was back when I'm, what's the name of that group? They broke up. O. GZ used to be in it.
Starting point is 02:42:51 What was the name? O. GZ. Group. Shoreline Mafia, right? When I realized shoreline mafia was huge on the West. And I was like, I've never heard a song of theirs in Miami, in New York, in New Jersey, in anywhere southern I've been to. But they were fucking huge. That told me a lot.
Starting point is 02:43:21 It tells me that the West Coast has so many people that you could be lit in the West. And people outside of the West could be culturally, ignorant to your way. Now, this is where I do think the West Coast also suffers. Because any type of criticism, you get DJ dickhead and the rest of them, West up, shut up. Just listen to what people are saying. Y'all have a culture of artists that takes advantage of one-seventh of the country.
Starting point is 02:43:57 California is not a half of the country. It's great when you have Cali. But y'all should try to get that music to move. That's what Atlanta does. No matter what dingy-ass studio niggies make music in Atlanta, people played in New York, they played in Cali, they played in Miami, they played in Chicago. Why? Because their artists do do the work. Now, granted, there's a lot of groundwork late.
Starting point is 02:44:27 But niggins like Future, that's why he's the goat, was one of the people, even when, remember when New Yorkers, say, hey, don't know, they went to other markets with their songs. I don't see no West Coast artists coming to New York to market their music, honestly. And again, I guarantee there's going to be some West Coast person going to take this and be like, look, look blood, look, look, look, this East Coast nigga, hateing on us, blah, blood, if he come over here, we got to put, do whatever you want. I'm just telling you the facts. So when I see Mustard do this, I think. Kelly Keller doing the West Coast of this service. The fact is this.
Starting point is 02:45:06 Mustard, you're an international producer. Nobody looks at you as a West Coast producer. Okay, outside of the West Coast. Kendrick, you're an international artist. Anything you put out is not only going to stay in the West Coast. It's for everybody else because people are acting like Kendrick. You know everybody like, yeah, Kendrick United to the West. He put the West on.
Starting point is 02:45:32 Great. I'm glad to put on seven people on his album. with those, will it translate when most people look at West Coast sound and music as, oh, it's just regional to the West Coast. I think there's some work to be done. And if anybody who's smart, and there is going to be a smart artist who wants to be super popular, Kenjik don't got to do it. Kendrick's already popular. They're going to realize, you've got to work these other markets.
Starting point is 02:45:58 Yeah, could be the number one underground or number one artist in Cali, but shit, I want to be number one artist. in the country and that person is going to be dope. Okay? And I think that's what boy Wonder was kind of getting at. You know what I mean? So don't bully him out of his opinion. Now, him saying West Coast rapist's ass, I don't think he necessarily believes that.
Starting point is 02:46:18 I think he's speaking to the regionality of it. It's regional. Me personally, I don't think West Coast rappers ass. Bro. Yo, Adam 22 hit me when I said my comments about Drex's to join in their interview. bro, are you trying to sign them? Like, they thought there was some money incentive into it. No, I was watching a no jumper video,
Starting point is 02:46:42 and somehow I had all to play on, and I clicked on something, and it went, it was almost on some West Coast vibe. You know when your algorithm get there? And it played Drex's a joint song, and I couldn't find it, and then I went, somehow I found it like later, because I was obsessed with it.
Starting point is 02:46:57 And then I said, I liked this fucking song. I don't want to talk to this guy. Him and his team was dope as fuck. They said, yo, all right, yo, we want to come out there to talk to you. Let's do it. Again, I think that has to happen. But, you know, I ain't going to lie to you, man.
Starting point is 02:47:16 The reason why I think a lot of people, the reason why I think the West Coast, other than the big artists are stagnant, is because y'all don't, like, DJ Dickhead is like the perfect example. Everything, no matter what you say, they just talk to you like they're a conglomerate. West up, West.
Starting point is 02:47:37 West. West Coast. Shut the fuck up. We're talking about one artist. Relax. Nick, it's like, imagine, imagine I'm telling somebody from New York. Like your, bro, you know you could do this.
Starting point is 02:47:48 And all of a sudden, he's like, New York City, nigga. Like, shut up. So this is why the reason why we're not seen as many artists that have a traditional West Coast sound influence in the rest of the culture.
Starting point is 02:48:04 Like when people are told him are the great West Coast artists, there are a bunch of people from the West Coast affecting the culture. But their sound doesn't immediately identify with being from a West Coast. Like, I'm gonna be honest with you, Tyler the Creator. I know he hung out in the West Coast,
Starting point is 02:48:26 but I didn't put him as a West Coast artist. I thought his sound and his style was kind of culturally or locationally ambiguous. But he is from the West. But he's not like traditionally, like, know, by the sound of West Coast artists. So this is what happens with the culture. West Coast niggas come across as so, like, non-moluble that you're just like,
Starting point is 02:48:52 all right, y'all niggis got it. Cool. All right, we can't tell you shit. You got it. West up. You got it. We'll just focus on Atlanta and bump Atlanta music all day. We'll bump Houston music.
Starting point is 02:49:03 We'll bump Miami and Memphis music. But we'll just act like y'all West. Think about it. niggas in New York play Memphis music all day Glorilla Moneybag yo We've
Starting point is 02:49:16 Doff Rest and peace Um Keglock all day They play music Come from Atlanta All day They play music come from Texas
Starting point is 02:49:24 Texas has been on a heat and spree Recently All day Southern Florida music all day When it comes to West Coast music People A lot of people look at
Starting point is 02:49:37 Like nails on a chart And it's a lot of it because of that dynamic. It's like, it's like, okay, all right, that's like a whole different country. Just let them be. All right, let them niggas be, bro. All right, you can't tell them anything anyway. Let them niggis be. Like, niggis look at West Coast music like his UK music.
Starting point is 02:49:57 Like, all right, y'all got it, bro. Okay, you got it. Cool. And I think it's vice versa. I think those artists look at it like that too. There's no sense that it needs to ingratiate with the rest of the world. old. So people just be like, all right, stay there. Anyway, boy wonder, I'll say this to you. I think mustard outed you or put this up because he's clearly team Kendrick. And we know,
Starting point is 02:50:31 and by the way, when I talked to Boy Wanda, you know what he said? Doug, we're producers. Like, he, he produced not like us that main number one. I produced family matters. We were both on the same charts. Not a hater. I congratulated him. I don't hate mustard. So that's why I said, you know, like he basically complimented him on the beat all right here when he says good shit, beat hard as fuck. He's taken out the fact that Drake is his man's like Drake, like Drake and boy Wonder are like this. But this is where the battle is at. Where. you kind of have to pick a side. And, you know, I said that to boy one or two.
Starting point is 02:51:22 I said, bro, yeah, that nigga outed you for even giving a compliment about both y'all making the charts. Because he's clearly Team Kendrick. He's in the music video with Kendrick, not like us. They got a new song, Mustard! Yes. They want you to pick a side to. Because let's be honest, a lot of people who fuck with Drake, they're just kind of like quiet right now right like love yadi and i'm not blaming yadi but like
Starting point is 02:51:51 do you hear out these niggis like whether a schoolboy cue or anybody else on the west coast side how they talk about kendrick there's no ambiguity on who they fuck with and it's almost like a disdain for who they don't fuck with yeah everybody else who fuck with drake they're kind of like all right we're just going to chill out right now. We're not going to, we're not trying to say we don't fuck with those guys over there. And also one of the reasons they don't do it, again,
Starting point is 02:52:21 they're trying to make the situation like it's a Kendrick versus, no, no, it's a Drake versus the West Coast thing. So that's really one of the reasons, okay? Okay. Okay. Chat, I ain't going to lie, man. I'm exhausted. I have to early, bro.
Starting point is 02:53:03 First of all, I do have a few other topics. I'm not going to get to it tonight because it's 2 o'clock already. We got Young Boy update on this guy, Drake's Opelis, which I'm just going to come back tomorrow, fresh off, or maybe I should just do Drake Obis now. Yeah, I'll do Drake Oblis now. Come on. All right, anyway, during an interview with 50 Cent and Big Boy,
Starting point is 02:53:27 50 pulled up like a paper and he said, you see this list, and let me see if I could get the actual clip. He pulled up a list. And it was supposed to be Drake's op list. Let me see. 50 cent. This was the clip in context. Here we go.
Starting point is 02:53:46 How can that happen with Buster, Fat Joe? Is the Jaro, is it deeper? No, no. It's the same thing that you see Drake experience. So how did he just have? So let me explain it in context. He's saying that when he had beef with multiple people, he's equating it to Drake saying
Starting point is 02:54:11 Drake has beefed for multiple people and he's going to give the reason in here. This is the art page. Right. He was just winning consistently more than everybody else in the culture. Now he gives Drake a very high compliment. He says the reason why Drake has a page full of haters
Starting point is 02:54:30 is because he's winning more than everybody in the culture. And then these people start to turn into people to feel like they're ops. And he says, because of that winning, people start to dislike you. Over the page, big. Because they keep watching them win. And then you go, I want, how can it? Okay. Now, let's look at this list.
Starting point is 02:54:53 Now, let me just say this first and foremost. This isn't Drake's list. Like, you know, we had fun with it on social media today, but this isn't Drake's list. Drake doesn't have a list of people he doesn't like. Drake isn't walking around with a list of people he doesn't like. This was one of the pages that Big Boy had because he prepped for interview and has a staff. So they had things printed out. 50 had a copy of what they came up with as Apolis.
Starting point is 02:55:32 and this Drake Opelisk thing was out before. So for everybody who has felt really special that you think Drake has a paper tucked in his pocket with your name on it, you're not on his op list, okay? Sorry to tell you. I could probably go through these and tell you who probably definitely are.
Starting point is 02:55:56 So I could fairly assume he don't fuck with you. Adidas? No, he just doesn't. He would definitely do a deal with Adidas. Anthony Fantano. No, he doesn't fuck with that guy. Okay. A sap Rocky, he doesn't fuck with that guy.
Starting point is 02:56:11 Okay, Bobby Althoff. Unbeknownst to y'all, him and Bobby Althoff, their little flare-up, they're cool. He doesn't have a problem with her anymore. Buster rhymes. I don't even know what that's about. I can't comment on that. Charlemagne the God.
Starting point is 02:56:28 I don't know if he would call Charlemagne the God of Op. I think he probably just would dismiss him, right? Obviously, they've had a pass where Charleney and say certain things about him, but I don't think necessarily he really hates Charlemagne. Remember during the meek battle, he sent him bottles. Cheezer. Him and Cheezer be playing around.
Starting point is 02:56:48 That's Aiden's homeboy, okay, that has trolled Drake on Aiden's dream. It's not that serious. Complex music. I don't think he's paying attention to complex music. Okay. Day free. I guess by close proximity.
Starting point is 02:57:08 Okay, cool. Daylight. With all due respect, I don't think Drake has seen. And this is going to burst a lot of people's bubble. I don't think Drake has seen a single thing daylight is said. Now, daylight is basically as Team Kendrick. But I don't think Drake. And this is going to hurt so many people's feelings because they think they're so important.
Starting point is 02:57:30 What is this? Demar de Roeson, obviously. Donald Glover, what the fuck? This comes from. Probably some old shit. Ebony Prince. That's the weirdo that was saying that he's going to drop, like, that had clothes. Of course, Drake knows about the incident.
Starting point is 02:57:46 Does he know about this fucking gay-ass nigga who's, who's, that's the person? Fuck no. Okay? Like, motherfucker like, you're just known as a fucking homeless bum that probably worked at a hotel. And he's been to a hotel every night of his life. Ebro, yeah, I don't think he fuck with Ebro. Elliot Wilson, he definitely don't fuck with Elliot Wilson. Okay.
Starting point is 02:58:06 Future, I won't even comment on that because, you know, I'll just skip past that. Hit a J3, I will bet 10,000. You don't know who this guy is. Like, who is, he does, like, this, and that's the thing about people's ego. Watch, they're going to click this and you'll be like, what? How Drake don't know? No, Drake doesn't know you, okay? Top five beeps with you.
Starting point is 02:58:30 Top five is not going back to tell Drake that, you're on beefing with a guy named him hit a Dray 3. No, that's, yeah. Jack Dorsey, yes, you're on the Oplice. Okay, let's keep it goal. Sean C, a YouTuber? I don't think Drake knows who that guy is. I'm going to be honest with you.
Starting point is 02:58:51 Cizzo. I don't think Cizzer is an opt to Drake. TDE. Okay, I mean, if you're going to bring the whole conglomerate. Terence Henderson, Punch. well if you say TDE just put him in there the company man I don't think Drake knows who he is either
Starting point is 02:59:08 Alchemist I probably don't fuck with Alchemist the BT Awards you don't fucking know these awards so take all these away the NBA he fucks with the NBA what are you talking about and actually I don't think he's anti
Starting point is 02:59:25 MTV VMAs anyway NFL and by the way for everybody who I'm commenting on this is based on a lot of this is based on my personal conversations with him please don't get y'all feelings like
Starting point is 02:59:38 holy me drink don't know me Drake no because this is the thing about yon niggas I get real homootional when y'all when y'all hear shit like this right um the weekend yes um even though
Starting point is 02:59:53 that's an interesting situation Tommy the clown how's how's that a op Tyler the creator I actually don't think that Like you gotta realize Op means I don't like Fuck that guy
Starting point is 03:00:16 Versus you know I'm gonna just chill I'm gonna keep my distance It's two different things Victor Baez Sound It's a vibe This is the guy on Twitter
Starting point is 03:00:28 I don't think I'm gonna be honest I don't think Drake knows you brother Whitney Alford I mean I guess by extension If you're trying to say Drake don't like Kendrick?
Starting point is 03:00:37 I don't think Drake gives a fuck about I don't think he specifically doesn't like Kendrick's wife I think he just doesn't like Kendrick okay

Starting point is 03:04:27 that he doesn't feel like that about everybody on the list is super viral and everybody cares about what Drake feels. That's relevance in itself. So, I don't know. But this is a research team of the fucking radio station that probably
