Make sure I get a couple good streams in.
Anyway, chat, hopefully you guys watched yesterday's stream.
We're going to kind of continue a few topics.
There's a lot of updates we do have to get to.
We're kind of covering some stories that have gone to court.
We'll give you updates on that.
The Nolan Wells, Nolan Wells situation,
it's continued to escalate and emerge.
And people have now got some audio,
which happens to be the 911 audio,
and we'll talk about that with the Zsendomel.
that mean. A couple more new developments from the whole YG
Drake or the ruler thing. It's kind of putting YG squarely in the
crosshairs of this investigation. It's clear that the police, they're
trying to bring murder charges on someone for the death of Drake or the ruler.
We even have not necessarily an autopsy report, but a report about how
and why he died. And it's pretty gruesome, so I'm not going to lie. If
this has anything to do with YG or someone else,
I think they might be cooked
if it gets to that point.
We'll do an update on David.
A lot more interesting details.
I feel like this case,
as much as we want to get to figure out what happened,
we kind of feel like we do know what happened.
But the twist and turns of this case
in terms of details,
either is going to make your stomach turn
or, you know, your jaw is going to drop
and just like, just amazement and awe.
So some more stuff we found out today
about the entire.
situation.
But a decision was made if he's going to go to trial, so we'll get to that as well.
A couple other things.
I see hip-hop media.
They are still spiraling and wheeling.
You know, they're now blaming Drake for other rappers not doing good.
It's getting that to that point.
They're like, yo, another nigga flopped.
Blame Drake.
He got the algorithm in a chokehold.
Okay.
They went from saying it was bots.
They went from saying he needed to go take some ayahuasca and take a break to now blame.
in him for other people's misfortunes.
How ironic.
We'll also give an update on the Yellow Bezzi thing.
Yellow Bezzi won't an important motion in court today.
He actually was granted the motion to see his accusers.
That might sound actually like, wait, isn't that what happens in a court case?
Like if you're accused of doing something and there's a victim, you have a right to face her
accuser.
Well, because it's a very complicated case where he's accused of ordering a murder for hire,
which happens to be involved with the Mo3 death and murder.
They've been really tight-lipped and not really trying to give a lot of info
on who are some of the people who are cooperants in that case
that will try to help prosecutors prove that Yellow Beasy did put money
and did order the death of Mo-3.
So we'll get into that.
Did he slapping inmates?
That's the story we should have done two streams to go,
so we'll make sure we get to it today.
There's a Gucci and Rick Ross.
conversation young philly we'll talk about a bit and there's a couple updates on our our favorite
people one is brittney renner and um the girl from the usher video she did like a whole like interview
that's interesting anyway what do you guys want to start you i don't know if you guys want to
start with these like maybe lengthy updates also we got to get to uncle murder he's going at it
with memphis bleak you know it's the battle of the height man right i'm gonna call these guy high
I'm not going to call them weed rollers or nothing of the sort.
I have nothing against them, but we're entering on chartered territories, okay?
One of the interesting topics this week was Uncle Murder and Memphis Bleaker.
Lord saving.
We'll probably start off Rip, because I've got to add something else.
We'll probably start off Rip with Jay-Z, you know, a good Brooklyn finesseur.
Apparently finessed all these artists, and he finessed even the fans.
You know, I've always said like he's used the equity built up in hip-hop
That he kind of gained from
This rugged, tough image of being a hustler and kind of being for us
He's used that to become a billionaire and now he's a billionaire
You know, I don't think he gives two fucks
He's one of the niggas like, yeah, finesse you and what, right?
Anyway, there's some more things that Charlemagne will probably have to get
Talking orders or at least a script to go to Fenn
because Jay-Z is coming under hot fire yet again.
We'll start off with Brittany Renner, though.
I won't give her an hour.
I gave her two hours the first day.
I gave her about 40 minutes of second day.
Today, I think, listen, surety.
It's like, you know, it's like new pussy.
Right?
New pussy's amazing at first, and after a while, you're like,
yo, yo, let me go jack off real quick.
Like, this shit is, yo, this is just a little bit older right now.
You know what I mean?
So, Brittany, we won't be indulging into your,
fuckering back and forth and your journey towards trying to figure out yourself and, you know,
your delusions of grandeur that you're experiencing.
We're not going to be indulging in that every stream for hours on end.
We already got the majority of that out, but we'll react to you reacting or looking
a little bit like you're spiraling.
Anyway, have you guys seen this?
Now, Brittany Renner, and this was hilarious, chat.
So after the entire internet
Literally told Britney Renner
That
She was aging like milk
They said yo every time I see a video of her
She ages five years
People are like damn
FaceTune is a motherfucker
Damn
What about all them Snapchat filters
Can't save you on live stream
I gotta give Britney Renner some credit
She finally
She scheduled an emergent
Emergency Maintenance Day, okay?
No more in the in the hot Kia, right?
I was trying to tell to crack a window.
Like, I was going to do a wellness check on her,
but like, you know, I think the windows are up?
You know when like the moms leave the kids in a car
and like you see they have to break the car, break the car open again?
Go check on Brittany Renner.
Anyway, she's scheduled an emergency maintenance day.
And I do have to say to Brittany, Brittany,
I'm going to give you a little secret about this live streaming game.
A lot of this is, you know, not say,
performative art, but it is, you know, it's kind of show business.
Don't be this reactive, okay?
As soon as they call you chopped, you're in the goddamn salon.
Yes, you know what that tells people?
They're under your skin.
You get what I'm saying?
Trust me, I was on this goddamn camera for 15 years, and they call me fat every day.
I lost weight when I want to lose weight.
You fuck out of here, you know what I mean?
So just let you know that, but I'm not mad at the scheduled,
even though we know it's an emergency.
maintenance day. Anyway, she was on here and even though she got the picture from the majority of the audience saying, hey, listen, you're looking a little rough bags under the eyes. What's up with the hair? What's good? That may have cured that problem, but her delusions still persist. Now, I'm not going to play through the whole thing, but I didn't want to give her some credit. You know what I mean? She's getting glammed up. You know, I'm glad. You know, when I see her smile, I want to smile.
Okay. Yeah, look. See? Right?
Okay, look, from this, yeah, yeah, look, you know, good.
Closer.
Now, I do want to play a few things.
First and foremost, Brittany thinks she's like some type of magician.
She's trying to convince us that she's aging like fine wine,
that she's getting better with time.
And the older she gets, again, there's nothing wrong with age and everyone does it.
But she's trying to convince us as time goes on.
Her beauty also increases.
I just want to play her own words.
It's nothing really for me to talk about.
We just have to highlight that Brittany might not be well.
Okay?
Brittany might not be well.
Check this out.
Just check this out.
Here we go.
Oh, she also talked about,
she also talked about Daphne Joy.
We'll talk about it in a second.
All right.
Here is she now after her day of glam.
And can I find it?
Maybe, okay, here we go.
Here we go.
Okay, we'll play this too, but let's get the other shit.
Damn, where is that?
Okay.
Could I find it?
Okay, maybe I can find it.
Oh, I have the link right here.
I'm an idiot.
Thank you.
All right.
It's pretty right in our own words.
We're going to take a light on her today, chat.
We're going to take a light on her today, but we just got a key point now to delusion.
Here I get older, I feel sexier.
And I think also too, it's important to know
I usually watch myself on TikTok
And I love when y'all add the sound effects
So I'm gonna have to try to do it in real time
This is, where is it?
Oh, right here
Every year I get older, I feel sexier
And I think also too, it's important to note
That there's a difference
Like novelty doesn't last
There's always going to be a 20 year old
That 20 year old's going to be 30
the 30 year old is going to be 40 and so on right so for me i find that like with experience
people become more magnetic and that's the direction that i'm going the people that i wish to attract
in my life are not going to be holding on to what i looked like at 22 beauty it opens the door
but substance keeps them in the room every year i agree
with her. But her own definition is the indictment of why she lost. Her beauty opened the door.
We played the clip where she said, hey, I slept with 11 athletes, 10 rappers. Hold on. Do I got to find
that clip again, chat? I got to find that clip again, right? I accidentally stumbled into that
clip. Let me just find it real quick. Because we have to side by side this type of stuff. Because
she's 100% right.
Beauty opens the door.
She had access to every guy and any guy she wanted.
She says substance kept her.
No one has kept her.
So maybe the self-accountability there is that the lack of substance has allowed all these
different men that got her into the door with them to just keep moving on.
Let me see if I can find that clip.
Where is that clip?
I need that clip.
Where is that clip?
Hold up.
I'm gonna find that bit.
I'm gonna find that.
No, let's get to it.
Is it this?
Not that ain't anything.
Wait, I think it is.
Is it this, Jack?
The Britney Renner list is crazier than you think.
Is it?
The Britney Redder list is.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Here, here this, chat.
Hear this.
Here this.
Playing with my,
experience the worst people to deal with are the athletes.
24 men breaking it down.
Why it matters.
But 24.
11 athletes.
You see how pompous she was saying that 11 athletes?
There's a lot of horrors that I know that little fucking athletes.
With nothing to show for it.
Woo!
Five entertainers.
Woo!
Eight regular guys.
I've only three regular guys since I've been Instagram famous because
She said it like, yo, I only fuck three regular guys since I've been famous.
But I'm racked it up with the athletes and the entertainers.
So I'm with her.
Her beauty got her in the door.
Her lack of substance, you know, accountability is the hardest thing to do, right?
Like, you know, she's going to blame these guys or whatever the cases.
But the accountability is really lacking here.
Again, I don't want to really just completely dogpile on her.
I think we've done like two days of that.
it's okay.
But I do want to point out to her,
Brittany Renner,
stop the delusion.
You need to enter your Cougar era in style.
Okay?
There's nothing wrong with,
listen,
you could be a bad 34-year-old.
You could be a bad mama with a kid.
It is all good.
Beauty could exist in a lot of forms.
It's just that the particular beauty
and the particular competitive beauty
that you seem to care about for over a year,
years was about youth and was about looking the best compared to the other women that were kind of
within the fear or the field of like whatever entertainment you were in again you could seem
be you can see mature now but you used to be bragging about the athletes that you fought like
this was your bragging point we what we got to keep you there right i know you want to be like
you know what it's about our substance when you was in this goddamn car and it wasn't that hot yet
before the temperature hit 100 degrees
and you could think clearly
and you were 26, what you were bragging about
was not about your substance.
You were saying you fucked
10 athletes. This, that,
and the third, we gotta keep it honest.
I want to know my body count.
I don't know why in like 2018
that's any of your business
or why it matters.
But 24.
11 athletes.
Woo!
Five entertainers.
There we go.
There we go.
Anyway.
Two other clips to kind of react to.
I also saw her, I think Academics TV posted it.
Let's go check that out.
She talked about Daphne Joy.
And, you know, too.
You know, I had to pull up.
Yo, well, Drake said I had to pull up with a mask and a cape.
You feel what I'm saying?
I had to pull up with a mask.
No, I'm playing.
But anyway.
Guys just want to send me money.
A little damsel.
Just a Mississippi girl
Gosh, you want to help?
I would really appreciate that.
Thank you all.
Brittany, I hate to tell you this, and you ain't going to like this.
You ain't going to like this.
You can learn a thing of two from Daphne Joy.
Now, I'm not saying Daphne Joy is better than you.
Okay, Daphne Joy is clearly now, like, leaned into her past.
She's had a promiscuous past as well.
Let's be honest, okay?
We're not trying to say none of y'all are angels.
Here's a difference, though.
I think she's having a lot of success in this portion of her life
after she was just on a criminal trial testifying against Diddy?
And it's because she's not doing what you're doing.
She's not up there being the bitter baby mama,
complaining about this guy and that guy who did her wrong.
She's taking whatever lemons that life handed her,
and she's turning into lemonade.
She's taking whatever perception is she's trying to capitalize.
off of it. She's not like you in a hot car mad that PJ Washington is buying his chicks
Birkins, but he won't buy you, you won't buy a Jansport book bag for your son. He's not,
she's not doing that. She took lemons. She's making lemonade. That's just what it is.
And I'll give you a little bit of this too, because I've noticed this. This is why I believe
Kevin Gates had you in that guard. Another thing I think a lot of women could take from
from Daphne's Joy is just watch how the internet,
which I still think there's a perception of Daphne Joy being promiscuous or a whore.
But there's subtle things that was able to get her over the hump and people starting to like her.
Whether it was the perceived submissiveness,
whether it was how she spoke or communicated.
A lot of the things that when you look at Brittany Renner today,
even though I think she kind of identifies with the new modern feminist,
it just doesn't kind of jive well with how the internet perceives her.
And I want to make sure she understands that because when I said she's reactive,
I get it.
She's new to streaming.
She's reactive because this is the first time she's probably realizing on every blog
they're cooking her, every block.
They're cooking her on every blog.
And I just want to give her a little bit of some tips.
and if she was to compare herself to Daphne Joy,
which, by the way,
Daphne Joy also has a child
and is also over the age of 34,
she carries it much different.
Carries it much different, okay?
Being in a hot car on the gram.
And maybe she was in a hot car at some point
after this did he trial.
But you know what she did?
She found big act.
You know, I'm playing.
But that's the point I'm trying to say.
There's similarities here,
but I think Brittany's own pride and ego
just kidding.
and allow her to, you know, fold up into something that can help her.
I'll just say that.
All right.
And then the last thing, which was, I think this was her shitting on everybody or shitting on, you know.
She was shitting on, I think, trying to shit on me and Myron and whoever else.
Here we go.
I see it on, I think, spiritual word.
Brittany Renner has cracked the code of why we're all jealous of her.
Okay?
Brittany Renner has now revealed
that the reason
the likes of me
I don't know anyone else online
who has either issued a criticism
or have or have had this dialogue with her
why can't I find these clips
Jesus crazy sorry
by the way chat remember Britney Renner was the first one
who did the NIL method except
I don't think NIL
existed. She showed up to
this nigga college games.
You know what I mean?
She got this nigga early.
Why can I?
Oh, here we go.
Is it this?
Yes, this is it right here.
So Britney Renner is saying
this why they're really mad.
Check this out.
This is really why they're still mad, y'all.
Your best bitch
on her best
motherfucking day
is not fucking with me.
At 34, bitch at any age.
Bop, ma, ma, ma, ma.
Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop.
Brittany, stop shaking that ass.
Before, listen, this is like seeing a nice ass car in the showroom.
Brittany, before you do all that shaking, jiggling, and jarring.
I need to know the odometer reading on that goddamn ass, okay?
Because trust me, I've seen many of your cars in a goddamn dealership, and it's a lemon.
Let's look beneath the goddamn engine.
I ain't going to lie, do look good.
It looks tantalizing.
but I just want to check the odometer on an 187,000 miles.
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
Hold on now.
Hold on now.
On her best motherfucking day is not fucking with me.
At 34, bitch, at any age.
You know I love Brittany because she'll try to prove her point, but just prove, but just prove ours.
Brittany
That ass
Which I'm gonna lie
I like the fact that you have a nice natural ass
But it's the reason why the next
nigga and the next nigga afterwards
And the last three niggas
Had to lie
La Tio delusional ass
That he could get up in there
You get what I'm saying?
You're right
After seeing that
You know Kevin Gates
I see why he turned a Muslim
I get it
Yo the other nigga I see what
Yo I'll tell you any type of lie
To get up in there too
You get what I'm saying
So
You have in a still
having a decent body doesn't refute anything we've said.
It actually proves it.
It goes to show that people who would desire you physically
would probably compromise you spiritually,
misleads you religiously and take advantage of you emotionally.
That's kind of how it works, Shorty.
We want this.
You see how your face is out the camera?
You see, Brittany Renner, and I've always been,
believe that there is a podcaster.
But the sad truth for a lot of women who look decent when they get into this game,
the majority of the niggas want to see you face down, ass up.
They want to see if they could watch half of y'all attractive, like, you know, some of these
chicks they like to talk.
No, people wish they could watch you on mute and watch this.
Matter of fact, let's watch it on mute.
Fuck it.
Oh yeah.
All right, hold on now.
Stop it.
Listen, I know you're going to the gym and everything,
but stop putting your face in the camera afterwards, bro.
Here we go.
There we go.
Here we go now.
Uh-huh.
Yep.
That's all we need.
And by the way, you know what the funny thing is?
Because somebody tell Brittany,
why are you doing this on kick?
Just go on only fans.
You wouldn't be in the hot car no more.
She acknowledges that her best assets
sit behind her and is into the physical form.
Yet she kind of tries to act above the fray with only fans.
She doesn't realize the reason why all these niggins keep bagging you
is because of the ass, they want to get up in there.
Now, she might have to get the only fans.
Okay, you were doing so good.
You were doing so fucking good.
You're doing so good, bro.
You know when the girls keep saying,
the face card never declines
Well somebody swipe the card real quick
Yo, just swipe the...
Is it matched the card?
Is that a visa?
Is that a visa?
Hold up.
Let's go back to better times.
All right.
Stop it.
Oh, yeah.
You were doing so good, man.
You were doing so good.
Brittany reminds me of one of them girls
that like...
Yo, you've been fucking with a girl.
It's like some young shit.
Like, you fuck with a girl like...
Like, where you 18?
you fucking with a girl.
And then she's like,
you only love me for my body
and you have to like lie to her.
Like no,
no,
it's your personality.
Like,
like,
like you gotta like lie
and say some shit like,
like,
yo,
Brittany,
I don't go to lie.
You blew up really because of your physique.
Now,
I'm not going to be as mean as,
uh,
you know who was mean to her?
And I don't agree with this because I do think she,
she,
she was pretty cute.
I think honestly,
just facially,
these days with her,
you know,
I think it's stress and a few other things
I don't necessarily think she's ugly
I just think that
she doesn't be getting on camera looking a little bit too beat
like you know what I mean
sure you just put like some light
like whatever thing you gotta do
anyway
I've seen little Duval
kind of like jump in
and he was
I don't know if he's trying to start narrative
but he was like yo
hey listen I always thought Britney Renner was overrated
let's go to little Duval
really say it
can I scroll down
he says
What the fuck?
Okay
He says
Brittany Renner never looked good to me
She was just light skin
And came out at the right time
Social media was accepting
Anybody
All right
And I think someone
Followed up for the question
Somebody says
Add India love to that list
He says
Nah India's still fine
I'm not gonna comment on
Either or
Bro
But all I'm going to just tell you is the wall is on the feet.
And in the 30s of these women, I think honestly is because of their life choices.
It hasn't reflected the best, especially when you see them without makeup.
They look pretty rough.
They look pretty rough.
I can't lie to you.
They look pretty rough.
It's all right.
You know what I mean?
We're all going through life.
We don't have perfect moments.
But they look pretty rough.
It's okay.
It's okay.
All right.
We'll move on from that.
You know, a little light.
We're not going too hard today, chat.
Not on that, all right.
All right, so the little scallywag that went on stage and upstage Usher
during his segment where he was trying to have a fan interaction,
even though the woman volunteered.
The woman is now coming out with a lot more information.
She's telling us she only wanted Chris Brown, this and third.
She is like really hell-bent on, like letting people know that she wasn't there.
for the right or she wasn't there for usher now it's kind of very it's kind of very disrespectful
at least in my opinion let me post another one of the things she said all right there we go
with that and sorry I didn't post this to the page yet but I'm posting now so she she's repeatedly
said I showed up for Chris Brown I was not there for no nigger named usher and she actually
stands on the fact, which this is kind of like so sad to me.
As a fan, you come to see both of these guys.
She's using this as an ego built.
And that's the kind of the sad portion about this, right?
This is why guys talk to women or deal with women in a certain way.
You give a girl a compliment, even if she's not interested in you,
now you've built her ego into the atmosphere where now she just thinks she's better than you.
She's shitting on you.
She's shitting on other guys.
So she's going to take this whole interaction with Usher.
And she's going to say, well, if Usher wanted me, even her mom said it.
Oh, my daughter curved Usher, you bitches can never.
Huh?
She's going to take that and then shit on all the niggas in the town.
She'd on all the other women that she knows because that's an ego boost, right?
So this is what she was on Instagram saying.
She said, listen, yes, I went on that stage.
And no, they don't tell you who what went or where.
Baby, I wasn't going up there for Usher.
I wanted Chris and Chris only.
Anyways, anybody who ain't sit in VIP or has a face card that doesn't qualify.
So exactly.
She's taking the experience to say, I'm that bad.
That's why I got picked.
And then she takes it even further to say, I got so many, let me not say she's saying she's
saying she's saying, she's saying I'm having it in my way.
I could turn down usher.
Who gives a fuck?
Right?
And she's trying to shit on other girls by saying, you girls wouldn't even get the chance
to do that.
I got the chance and did, right?
whatever. So she says that and apparently I don't know if this chick is doing an interview or whatever
the case is like check this out, bro. Wait, here we go. If you could go back to last night,
if you could change anything. Yo, they're interviewing this gallery, bro. Would you?
I don't think so. I mean, it's not bothering me. I don't feel away towards it. I don't feel
embarrassed. I don't feel like this has ruined me in the public eye or whatever they want to say.
Or whatever.
Because, you know, it's been plenty of trolls and whatever else.
Oh, well, why would you do that?
And you should be embarrassed.
It was even people harassing me while I was walking out of the stadium.
Oh, really?
While me and my family was walking out of the stadium, people were harassing us.
Oh, well, you should have did this.
I would have did this.
Were you available to go on the stage is what I'm trying to understand.
Fair enough.
Yeah.
Or were you in the nose, please?
Fair enough.
I can fully understand from your perspective how, how, if you could change anything.
Yeah.
So the ego you could tell is on 10.
She's shitting on other women.
Hey, y'all face card didn't get y'all there.
Y'all could never, whatever.
And again, that is the danger of gassing up, you know, a mid-sized sedan, right?
Not saying, she doesn't look bad, you know, but you could tell she's walking around.
around like her shit don't stink.
But whatever. Anyway, let's move on.
Let's move on.
We do have to get into some updates, but we should first touch on, you know, in the true
spirit of Jay Z 30th.
We have to point out that this is the 30th anniversary of Jay Z finesse in the black
community.
You know, Jay Z is a prolific finesse.
And, you know, I can name about 10 finesses.
But one of his most prolific finesses that he did was finagling a way to now be in to be rubbing shoulders with billionaires.
How did he do it?
Now, Jay-Z is a board of director member of the company Block.
It was previously known as Square and Square owns, if you're saying one of these companies, it owns cash app.
Jay Z is a
He's part of the board of directors
The board of directors
There are a usually
A small group of people
That have unilateral power
To vote on things
Or to make decisions
That the entire company will
Will adhere to
So they get to pick the CEO
The C-O
The CFO
To dictate where the company is going to go
How they're going to spend whatever
Everything
Jay Z's part of
that. Now, you might be like, what the fuck? How did Jay-Z finesse black people to become the board
of director for basically cash app? Like, how did he do that? Well, I'll tell you how. Well, he sold
title. And when he sold title, in addition to getting some cash that he pocketed, he also took a board
seat on that person's company. That person is Jack Dorsey. Jack Dorsey used to own Twitter. He left
Twitter and yeah so basically jZ use title and you know he was saying this is for us by us well he's
only nigga that's on the board of square or not square but block i've said this a million times
you guys look at me as a broken record i don't want to come off as manic so let's actually get a
financial person in here a guy who breaks down SEC filings and also court documents um for
living a guy who we've been actually using and using his resources recently because he's i like
how just factual he is this is my guy eric jackson he did a whole breakdown that kind of went a little
bit viral yesterday and he spoke about how title uh was pretty much a finesse and i'm giving you the
summary of the whole thing but you have to hear the whole story now let me remind you of how the
story went jzy bought title 56 million dollars
He supposedly gave every artist that came on stage with him about 12 of them, about 3% of the company.
The company then got sold to, or not sold, they got invested in by Sprint for 200 million.
The company was valued at 600 million, which would mean a 10x increase from what Jay Z had bought it from, which was 56 million.
Now, it later got sold for like 300 million, so really, you know, it wasn't 600 a million.
The real valuation was half.
It got sold for $300 million to Jack Dorsey, as I said, and Square.
And Square, that's not Block.
And he took the board seat.
But people have been always wondering, because we see people who have fell out with Jay or called Jay out, whether it was Kanye West or we even seen Nicky Minaj.
They've kind of no one's ever said, oh, yeah, we got whatever we were promised with this square or with this title deal, right?
When I usually bring it up and I said
Jay Z said that people should stop
watching or stop listening to music on
Apple and also Spotify, they should
listen to on title. He did the whole
B-side performances basically said
y'all like supporting the white man, support me.
I'm the black man who's getting to the streaming space.
The idea was that that title was
for the artist, by the artist, and if you
cared about the artist and art and black art,
you support title. Now, subsequently, he sold it
as soon as he could. When I've
criticized that move saying, hey, that's kind of
snakeish because you got everyone to buy in saying that this is going to be for us right this is
some black people shit and then you sold it as soon as you got a chance to be on a white company's
board of directions you know what people said and even charlemagne even said it during our
conversation he said well why do people get companies they get them to sell them and you know once
again they move the goalpost they just flip the script you know j z gets to sucker everyone in with
this is for us and then basically sells it sells it straight on some capital this shit and people
just praise him because he's a billionaire.
Anyway, I guess
the bigger story here is
well, what is the details
of the sale and who did the benefit, right?
Because on paper and on face value,
you would think everybody who was on that stage
really profited from it.
But Nikki Minaj has said otherwise,
and Kanye, I haven't heard him say too much about it,
but we've had no one really testify to say,
oh, no, like, Jay really got us a bag.
So here's the breakdown right now,
and we're going to play my man, Eric Jackson.
You guys can follow him on Twitter,
also on YouTube. He does a really phenomenal job every day of breaking down.
A lot of financial filings that have to do with record labels or even these things, which is
DSP. And he not only covers hip-hop, but he has an incentive to cover hip-hop because we have used
him before. Here we go.
Everyone remembers the headline. Jack Dorsey bought Jay-Z's title for $297 million.
$2. Beyonce, Rihanna, Kanye, Nikki, all co-owners, all getting paid.
And here's what the SEC filing says the buyer actually paid, $233 million for 86.8% of the company,
which means the whole thing, the platform 16 superstars stood on stage to launch was actually worth $269 million that day,
which was less than half of what it was worth four years before.
Nikki Minaj says she was offered a million to go away.
Steve Stout said she left millions on the table because she never signed her paperwork.
And for 10 years, everyone has been arguing about who got scammed and who has been doing it without, they've been doing this without opening one set of documents that would show the actual results, the filings.
So this story is actually stranger than anything you've already heard about it.
And I went and read the filings.
This is day 341.
There were three SEC filings, one federal court motion and the principal's own posts.
and everything that I'm about to talk about on this video is all public record knowledge.
March 30th, 2015, the famous stage, there were 16 artists standing shoulder to shoulder as owners,
Beyonce, Rihanna, Kanye, Madonna, Nikki, Jay Cole, Jack White, Daft, Pump.
The list goes on.
The reporting that week, and it traces back to one Billboard story, said that each act was gifted about 3% of title in exchange for pledging exclusive content.
Now look at the sourcing there.
One outlet launch week, unnamed sources, no principle, no document has ever confirmed that there was 3% given to the artists.
The thing that they signed on stage, which has been published.
Okay, this is very important.
And we got to slow it down because this is where, you know, headlines tried to tell the story, but the paperwork say differently.
So when we heard that the artist got like this 3% number,
did they sign something that gave them the piece of the company?
And that's what he's explaining.
He's saying, that's not exactly true.
Billboard ran the story.
About 3% of title in exchange for pledging exclusive content.
Now look at the sourcing there.
One outlet, launch week, unnamed sources, no principle, no document has ever confirmed
that there was 3% given to the.
artists. The thing that they signed on stage, which has been published, is a declaration. And I've
read it. It's a manifesto, not an equity contract. Whatever equity paper existed behind it has never
been public. So there were 10 years of arguments, and the foundational document of the argument
has never been seen. Then in 2017, January of 2017, Sprint, bought 33% of title for $200 million.
That's a real reported transaction, and it did two things.
It priced the whole company around $600 million, which was the high watermark for it,
and it diluted everybody.
So if you had a 3% stake, if it existed, as reported, it became roughly 2% after that investment.
Nobody renegotiated the legend, though.
The legend stayed that, quote, the artist's own 3%.
Now the part that you came for in March of 2021, Square, which is Jack Dorsey's company,
it's now called Block.
It announced it was buying the majority of title, and the press release said, for
$297 million. Every headline said that. Some said $302 million. And then a year later,
Block filed this annual report with the SEC, which is the 10K and the accountants don't do vibes.
The filed number was $233.2 million for 86.8% of the company. $223 million in cash, $10 million in stock.
It implies the rough value for a title was $269 million at the time, not $600 million.
It quietly tells you that title's value fell by more than half between 2017 and 2021.
While the public story.
Okay.
So once again, title, it, while it was, I will call it innovated to some extent because it was helped define what the streaming error was going to be.
It wasn't a really profitable business, even though the value ballooned.
But it ballooned because of different reasons.
the market was expanded.
So because you had an entity that was involved in streaming, it was worth more,
but it wasn't making money.
Characterized it as a victory lap for Jay-Z.
And one more thing that the filing says, and it kills a whole branch of the meme tree,
the artists were not bought out.
The press release says it plainly.
All of titles artists shareholders continue as co-owners,
and the 10K carries them as minority interests, unnamed, aggregated.
with exactly one artist who's named anywhere in the filing, Sean Carter, elected to Square's board in May of 2021.
A seat on the board of a payments company worth tens of billions given to a man with no conventional payments background, no fintech background.
So read that for what it is.
Part of what the deal delivered was the Carter name.
Everyone else is a line item called, quote, non-controlling interest.
Okay.
Now, I'm not sure if you guys caught that.
When they buy title, they don't liquidate the artist.
Right?
They didn't liquidate the artist, which means, so they said the artist continue on.
So they diluted their interest in title, but they didn't pay them out.
The only person who gets some type of liquid, right, is the person who owned like 87% of it, which was Jay-Z.
Right?
So Jay-Z gets paid, right?
and he gets a board seat.
But the actual artist, all they have is this,
I won't call it as fictitious,
but this equity that they don't get paid out for.
Only Jay gets paid.
Everybody else continues to be shareholders, right?
Now, I know you're like, well,
they can sell it any time.
The story's not done.
Sitting behind an option, blocks option,
not theirs, to be bought out at fair value someday.
So read that structure for what it is.
They can't force a sale.
They can't force a price and they just have to wait.
So now you go back to that stage.
The word that day that they talked about was ownership.
Artists finally owning the thing that they built instead of renting it from labels.
So put the two documents side by side and what they announced in 2015 and what the filing says they got.
16 owners became one board member and 15 line items.
I'm not going to tell you what anyone intended,
but I am going to tell you that the ownership that they announced that day
and the ownership the SEC filing describes are not the same kind of ownership.
The revolution was real on the stage.
It just wasn't in the actual paperwork that came later when the deal was done.
Okay.
So according to SEC files from this guy that he viewed,
the ownership that these artists had
weren't paperwork ownership
that had to be either divulged
or had to be accounted for
when they filed
these SEC files when you sell a company
or whatever like it's going to happen right
and also there was a publicly traded
remember it gets absorbed by
Square at the time that's a publicly traded company
so everything is public
The filings doesn't show that these artists own shit, except Jay-Z.
This is a good for that, huh?
And what has fair value done since?
Block's own filings answer that too.
In late 2023, Block wrote down 132.3 million of title Goodwill.
In late 24, another 73.5 million was written down.
That's roughly $206 million in value impaired, according to the company's own accounts.
in two years.
Yeah.
So essentially the artists who are owners that went on that stage,
they own about 2% of title still, except title is now absorbed by square,
which is now a block, and there's a clause that says,
we don't have to pay you more than what's called fair value, fair market value, right?
and we could force you out as owners at some point.
Here's the problem.
Square or Block, they keep using Title as a way to write off losses for the company.
So they claim in two years, Title lost them $200 million.
So now, what they're basically doing is devaluing the company
to the point that is going to be seeing that this company is worth nothing.
Now, if you have 2% of a million dollars, that's some good shit.
If you have 2% of zero, you're fucked.
So the remaining artist stakes are minority positions without exit rights in an asset
that their majority owner has been writing down.
That's not a scandal.
Nobody did anything illegal here.
it's just what minority equity without an exit mechanism is.
A promise whose face values someone else's timing determines.
So take a step back now and ask the question that the whole valuation begs.
Was title ever worth what that stage suggested it was worth?
Look at the scale.
When Square bought it in early 21, Spotify had between 155 and 180 million paying subscribers.
Apple Music, the last time it gave a number officially, had 60,
million. That was in 2019. Title claimed $3 million at its peak back in 2016, and then it stopped
disclosing a number at all. And independent analysts put the real figure back then closer to $1 million.
So the platform 16 superstars launched to fight the Giants was, at its best, 20 to 50 times
smaller than the Giants. And it lost money every year anyone measured it. Its parent posted a $28 million
net loss in 2015 alone, burning about $2 million a month with cash down to $4 million.
Operating losses of 36.7 million in 2018, 55.3 million in 2019.
So here's the part you can't make up, though, and it's not my characterization.
When a court later threw out a lawsuit brought over this very deal,
the judge's own description of what Square bought was a company that was losing money
that had lost major contracts that faced a criminal probe in Norway over its streaming numbers.
One, authorities later dropped.
By the way, interesting enough, we keep hearing certain narratives,
of bots this and third. Tidal was actually in a criminal investigation for manipulation of numbers
in Batten. And I believe that was, they were investigating the headquarters because that was in
Sweden. And then, and also a company that had taken a $50 million loan from Jay-Z himself just to
stay afloat. The judge called the purchase a quote, terrible business decision. That is a federal
court saying that on the record. So read the 21 sale for what the documents say it was.
This was the top of the market. Remember, this was the time of zero interest rates.
Every catalog on earth was selling for a fortune, Dylan, Neil Young and Stevie Nex, all cashing
out at the exact top. And at the exact top, this asset sold for half what the smart money paid
for it in 2017. And it needed a lifeline from its own founder just to get to the finish line.
So that's not a victory lap.
Structurally, it looks a lot more like a rescue to me.
Now, the claim from my comments, quote,
the artist equity was recoupable.
Jay-Z could claw it back.
It was really an advantage or sorry,
an advance against their catalogs, end quote.
I went looking for the source of that quote,
and there is none that I could find anyway.
No filing, no reporting.
Nothing credible describes owner equity as recoupable.
And the SEC accounting treats the stakes as real equity,
cuts directly against it. But here is the interesting part. The myth has a real ancestor.
There was a documented recoupable advance in the title story. It was Prince's catalog deal,
a distribution agreement that ran until the advance recouped. It was a standard structure negotiated
by Prince himself, who chose title loudly and publicly while he was still alive. After his
death, his estate and title ended up in federal court, and the estate's lawyers wrote a sentence
that you rarely see in a filing.
They alleged that the equity term sheet title produced
was, quote, fabricated and backdated to appear authentic.
Title denied it.
The case settled in 2018, approved by the probate court,
and the fabrication claim was never proven or disproven.
So I'm not going to tell you who was right.
I'm telling you that there was one documented recoupable advance
belonging to the prince's deal
and a never adjudicated fight over Prince's equity is how, quote, recoupable leaked into the folklore
about everyone else's.
And notice who was not on the stage at all, Drake, the defining artist of the streaming decade,
biggest artist at the time, and by reports, he was supposed to be up there with them on that
stage with the other title artists.
He wasn't not.
And a few months later, he went the other way entirely, an exclusive deal with Apple Music
put together by an executive name.
named Larry Jackson, who's now the head of gamma.
I'm not going to tell you the terms because those weren't ever made public.
But if you look at where the two roads led, you can see that the artists who stood there as
owners got minority paper behind someone else's option.
Drake never took the pitch, kept his own lane, and by any measure, it worked out for him.
The biggest artist of the era, some would say still today, looked at the ownership offer
and passed.
Which brings us to Nikki because her posts are primary sources and the math is checkable on them.
She says she was offered a million dollars and told that she had 24 hours to sign.
Now, this is the interesting part.
Supposedly the scandal lies here.
Remember, these guys sign like a declaration, not real equity paperwork, all these artists.
basically j z's trying to flip and finesse this this company into whatever you heard what he said a federal judge
when addressing the sale of title to square calls it a horrible business decision they basically said that
square bailed out bailed out title in reality it was clear to see that j z was wanted by jack dorsey
because they felt Jay-Z had this, you know, this power over black people, clearly.
You know, like, oh, we need Jay-Z on our team.
We'll bail out his failing business, right?
So all of those things happening, what happens is that after the thing gets sold for 300 million,
supposedly they go to all the artists that signed the declaration and said,
hey, listen, we could give y'all a million dollars or whatever the amount was.
So they have them sign something late, right?
And you're going to hear this later because I remember Steve South said,
no, Nikki could have got paid.
She just didn't sign the documents.
Well, I thought she signed on stage.
Why would she need to sign something else unless what she signed on stage wasn't some real shit?
So that's the finesse here, right?
They use the artist.
They basically get it sold.
twice, 33%, 200 million sprint, then 300 million from square.
That's 500 million, that's half a billion dollars.
That becomes in purchasable, you know, cash that was used to purchase the company, right?
Sprint and then whatever.
And the artist, when the company who eventually buys it wants to fully own it, right?
they're offered a million dollars to get out of their position or to be whole or whatever the
case is, right?
Even though technically it seems like they basically didn't have a position at all because there
was no way to liquidate it.
So they get offered, take a million dollars, take it or leave it.
Stout says that she never signed the paperwork and left millions on the table.
But notice something here.
Those stories aren't actually incompatible.
An unperfected stake, equity promised but never papered, is exactly the kind of position that produces a discounted, take it or leave it offer when the company sells.
And her bigger number, the $100 million to $200 million, she's called a karmic debt, run every valuation that has ever existed against a 3% stake, $9 million at the press price, $8 million at the filed price, $5 million to $6 million after dilution, $18 million at the absolute sprint round.
peak. There is no arithmetic path to get to $100 million. Her own word for it, Karmic, is honest.
It's a moral number, not a mechanical one. The mechanical number, at its best moment in history,
was $18 million. And by the way, the one deal decision of hers that is documented in 2009
press release is that she kept all her 360 rights touring merch endorsements when she signed.
The reason why he's saying $18 million, because if she...
owned 3% at best, even though they said when, so the company was worth 600 million at a point,
but that should have diluted their equity if they did have it to 2%, not 3, but let's say it was 3%,
3% of the new valuation of 600 million would have made like 18 million.
So if they had sold back then, given that there was real equity, not this like promise of equity,
she could have like gotten 18 million but there's no exit strategy so who would she have sold
that too she would have so have to sell it to um it title wasn't public so she would have had to
sell it most likely to someone that was approved by sprint and sprint already bought what they
wanted so why would they buy from niki right like yeah why would they liquidate niki when there
if you liquidate niki and she's out of the company the company's worth less
so you want to keep her in.
As an artist, the woman knew how to protect a position,
which makes the title Paperwork Story,
whichever version that you believe,
the exception that proves the discipline.
So here's what that means for you, the takeaway.
And it's basically one sentence with three clauses.
Equity you cannot exit is not money.
That's basically all it is.
So these artists got equity with no exit plan.
Jay-Z had a exit plan for himself
because he eventually sold to
Square and then became on the board
but for the artists
because of their worth to the company
because it was branded as the artist is in the company
if you heard that all the artists were liquidating
and left the company the company would basically belly up
because now the artists are no longer standing with the company
you never signed is not equity, and a press release is not a filing. Every one of those 16 people
on that stage with Title in 2015 was worth more than the thing that they were celebrating. And the
ones who treated the stakes as a marketing moment rather than a position, which structurally is what
it was, read it correctly. When someone offers you ownership in anything, a startup, a small
business, your cousin's venture, you need to ask three questions that this episode just taught you.
what exactly do I own?
What forces anyone to ever buy it from me?
And where is it written down?
If the answers are vague, you were not given ownership.
You were given a photo op.
So the story here is 10 years of shouting,
and the answer was sitting in something called a 10K.
This is Event Horizon IQ, the full written breakdown on substack.
Exactly.
So, you know, can't hate to play.
player man's hate the game you know jZ's just pretty good at what he does uh but it goes to show what
niki was saying you know maybe she wasn't right with the math of what she thought she deserves
but there was a lot of fishy shit going on with that ownership shit these artists basically were
given a promise with no exit options and yeah not saying they eventually didn't get some type of
ownership but they got an ownership of a position they couldn't liquidate or do anything with
while the person who promised to get them in
and promised to be there for them,
liquidated it and became the board,
became on the board of square.
Anyway,
yeah, it is what it is.
Have y'all seen,
and we're going to get to our updates quite soon,
but I want to play y'all this,
I know,
we're talking about in the first hour and a half,
Uncle Murda and,
What the fuck is this?
Is Tax Stone really trying to do a podcast from jail, man?
Yeah, could somebody tell us Bozo to do his 35 in peace?
They give him three more.
It's 38 now.
Yo, let me say this.
This is one indictment I'll say.
Charlemagne always picked the worst fucking podcasters.
Like, well, this guy only Bozo's and idiots liked him.
Let me say this.
He said, Beloved 50 times in a minute.
And everybody was like, oh, now, he's a real nigger.
Really?
You see where he's at?
This is the biggest bozo of him all, bro.
Anyway, let's get to the full rant.
There's a full rant of Uncle Murder calling out.
He said he got arrested him on.
Calling out Memphis Bleak.
Now, if you guys don't know, so Memphis Bleak is JZ guy.
Uncle Murder, along with Tony Yeo.
They're 50-cent guys.
none of these guys are really known particularly for their own illustrious solo career.
But by general proximity, you know, it's always this like never-ending conversation of,
yo, who's still relying on who for a living?
Who's like, you know what I mean?
Like, it's almost like it's like the bastard kids arguing.
You get what I'm saying?
So I'm just going to say politely, this was the battle of the hype.
man right
like Memphis bleak
I don't even know if he gets invited to shit anymore
like all I know is that Jay rap that he's in his will
so like he's probably thinking he can't wait till Jay died
that he could get get his cut I ain't gonna hold you
but you have um
Tony Yeo and Uncle Murdo like
I don't know if they
they get their own set of 50 shows these days
but they come out and grab the mic and hype the crowd up
and whatever whatever now
in all I'm fearing this everybody's doing the podcast
and everybody's trying to do other ventures but
it always comes back to this legacy thing where you know now the argument is is by these guys so check out
after going on million dollars worth a game look like gilly must have hyped them up and hyped
to uncle murder to say yo you know Memphis bleak basically said that yon niggas live off 50
and um not going to lie uncle murder went crazy check this one out here
I know Bleak said he got a restaurant
I don't mind we can do this too
We could go let's see what you made last month
And we can show we
Oh no I gotta play the whole crash shot
The crash shot is crazy
Where's the full
Yeah I gotta see the full thing chat
By the way Gilly
Amazing gas light and crudy
Power and everything
All I'm saying is he don't put him in the rooms
So when the nigger go in there and say
Yo when Yale had a house
I had a house in 205
I had a house before a lot of rap
A lot of rappers came to my house and got motivated.
I had houses, houses.
Not a house.
But I don't like to brag about money.
I like to stay humble like you guys do.
Because I know a lot of people don't got it.
It's not about we, like why are we talking, yo, Yale don't wear the passport chain.
We're 50's not around.
Why are we talking about change?
Somebody said.
That's all I'm saying.
I don't see y'all niggas got plenty of money.
Y'all buy calls and watches like rich people do.
Niggas ain't really talking about change.
change. Yo, you don't have the passport chain.
Niggas is watching me.
Because what it was is
Yale came back from the dead.
Yale got a second win and niggas can't
stand it. Sometimes it could be a
nigga that's around me that can't stand it.
Yale got a second win on his own
without 50. I went on
Vlad. Yo, you bugging. I went on
a million dollars a game. That took me there.
I went on Shannon Sharp. I went on
all these big platforms by myself
and sold my personality just
like y'all do. But niggas are going
continue to hate. You had your one day on stage with Jay, which is cool. Feel good.
Would you be the levery? Would you be one day on stage? It was one day on stage. It was one day on stage.
Sure. Why Gilly acting like he's so high, he don't know what the fuck is going on.
It's cool. So I know you're going to feel good about yourself. I want to pump out your chest.
Do you want to sell a record? What you mean? What did you just perform?
Yeah, when Jay just performed. You had one day out. You know, we do that with 50 every other week.
I'm not supposed to go out and get the money. We on a-
Yo, tell him about the smoke dirt, the duck, man.
Come on.
Private jet, we can't smoke duck.
We're chilling.
Yo, you can't, listen.

Persian caviar.
We eat bread and caviar.
Oh, he switched it up.
See, I got to even switch.
I'm a humble nigga.

You know what I'm saying?
That's what I'm saying, the rooms.
All right, cool, niggas blew a couple of shots at him.
He might feel like, oh shit.
While this nigga saying that,
what businesses you have?
This is my business right here.
Unit dispensary.
It's between Queens and Nassau.
We deliver.
We've been open for a while now.
Shout to murder.
We have our own businesses.
We're doing our own thing.
Niggers would be surprised.
I just don't got to make announcements
because I know niggis be glazing

Memphis Bleak.
And then look, you are black effects
so I know Charlamagne is going to be like
yo, so what about yayo?
Of course you're going to click phone.
It's cool.
It's not a problem.
I like when niggas talk about me.
I know I'm doing something right.
That's it.
No, one of the things I did see
that he said was

he's not even tony yo you better accept the band for band challenge with uncle murder memphis bleak
dead ass all right anyway uh let's see what else is going on what's popping
all right i'm getting a couple topics off my list finally i like that like that like
that I want to go into the David update. Let's get into David update right quick. So David today,
big interesting, not interesting, but big news coming down is that the judge has ruled that David
will stand trial. Now, remember, I told you that David wasn't at trial yet. He was going to
a preliminary hearing. The preliminary hearing is what determines if you're going to go to trial.
The judge makes the ultimate determination. Difference, you know, I keep pointing out these things,
difference between a preliminary hearing and usually what we see with the grand jury, a grand jury secret.
Preliminary hearing is usually an open court.
But at least you get your defense lawyer there to kind of at least like throw some scud missiles to try to say,
oh, that's your probable cause?
Nah, here's the reason why that looks that way.
And maybe you can swear a judge to say, nah, that's not enough.
Like that probable cause is strong enough to go to court or go to trial.
However, the judge has ruled today that David will indeed stand trial for the murder of Celeste Rivas.
but there's a lot more information that did come through.
We get to find out that the family of Celeste,
you know, remember I said,
why are they so quiet?
Like your daughter was missing all this time
and no one, like you're not,
apparently they knew her daughter,
or their daughter, was with this guy.
Apparently they all went to church together,
and it now makes sense why when she would go missing,
they wouldn't immediately call the cops.
When your 13-year-old goes missing,
you don't call the cops, that's a problem.
But now it brings up another issue.
if you are the parents of Celeste and your daughter goes missing or is dating some guy who's 19
how much how much are you complicit in the whole thing now it kind of makes sense where like
at first it didn't feel like his parents were like I want to like you know no disrespect I want to
see the video of his parents crying of her parents crying like oh my god my beautiful baby girl
I can't believe whatever whatever happens to her and we need to get justice
they were really quiet.
And we're starting to realize,
and by the way,
they also retain an attorney,
but that's not too out of the ordinary
because usually victims,
like even Nolan Wells family,
they have an attorney.
That's Ben Crump.
But what we got to find out,
we're like,
hmm, why are they so quiet
when their child is gone missing?
We're getting to realize
maybe they should be at fault a little bit too.
Okay?
If you hand your 13-year-old over
to a 19-year-year-old over to a
19 year old or you know that they're dating and you look the other way maybe for financial benefits
maybe for other things maybe because he's a superstar or whatever what blame do you get and we're getting
to find out that they were well aware of the relationship both parents of david and also celest they were
all aware of the relationship they should have known it was inappropriate and if anything they they
did group activities with both of them together like for example going to church
Celeste parents would go to church with their daughter and they would allow David to come.
So it's clear that they knew that they were dating their daughter.
Anyway, let me go into this.
And by the way, also they exposed the text messages that came out right before her death.
And apparently these text messages were really intense.
Now, I'm going to play a longer video, obviously.
We're going to get a trap lore in here.
and he could, you know, break it down a little bit more.
But apparently Celeste, even though at a young age, she was really jealous.
And she was jealous of another girl that he was also, like, frequent and hanging around.
Her name was like Asia or something of the sort.
And what would happen is that she would send really these crash-out messages saying,
hey, listen, y'all cut your dick off.
I'll fucking kill you if you keep, like, entertain this chick.
And she was really jealous.
she would threaten to destroy his career
you know what she'd be like hey listen
y'all I'll fuck this all up
so it kind of shows she was cognizant that
the overarching thing is that what they were doing
wasn't really legal right it's not even
it wasn't really legal it wasn't legal at all
but she knew how to use it against him
and the prosecutors have presented
this as motives to say not only
maybe looming pregnancy concerns
but also her constantly threatened
threatening to ruin his career or ruin his life,
that may have been the thing that got him to snap and kill her.
All right?
Also, the attorney spoke,
but let me get to Traplow Ross.
Who's going to break this down a little bit better.
Here we go.
He's been in court.
By the way, I want to say thank you to Traplow Ross.
He's taking some of our advice.
I said he should do disclaimers.
And he is,
he,
hold on.
Yeah, he's,
Done disclaimers and he's going to keep doing disclaimers.
Okay, cool.
Here we go.
What you say it was bad?
All right, folks.
So I'm here once again outside.
Celeste had shared that was played in court.
Obviously, it's completely against the guidelines.
I simply told you guys everything that I heard in the courtroom.
I dumbed it down.
I was careful about what I said.
I didn't say anything outrageous or offensive.
or completely graphic, anything like that,
I just let you guys know what was said in court.
And I'm just so, so disappointed
that YouTube has made that decision.
Okay, so YouTube gave him a strike or something like that.
Because here's the thing when you're talking about sensitive subjects,
you know, these automated bots and flags,
they don't know if, like, you're trying to encourage people
to get into inappropriate relationships.
They don't know if you're, like, you're trying to, like, hype it up.
But, yeah, they gave him a strike.
and now he does a disclaimer. This is a disclaimer.
Public and raise awareness of the...
Here we go.
Before I show you today's courthouse video,
I need to tell you something so YouTube doesn't punish me.
I categorically condemn David's actions
and all predatory behavior involving children or adults.
This video is educational, documentary, scientific, and artistic content.
More specifically, authoritative reporting on a true crime case
from a journalistic context.
I've personally attended the David preliminary hearings as an accredited reporter
and I'm here to tell you the facts of the case.
I'm doing this to inform and protect the public
and raise awareness of the tactics and methods used by creditors.
This video includes no content that violates the advertiser or community guidelines on YouTube,
and the purpose of this video is to add context and condemnation
to a story in the public interest and to protect the public.
I will be reporting basic factual information that I've personally observed
while attending the court proceedings as a professional journalist.
While this video contains multiple points of view,
including the defense attorney's arguments,
I hold...
Did chat GPT write this room?
This is a pretty professional, you know, like disclaimer.
All heartedly condemn David, his actions, and the actions of any groomer or predator.
I'm obliged by YouTube's rules to tell you that you should not imitate the actions of David,
and this statement represents a clear and informative discouragement against imitating dangerous or harmful behavior.
This video doesn't include any illegal material, instructions on how to carry out a crime,
any footage of a criminal or victim while a crime is being committed,
and this video categorically does not intend to glorify the crimes or criminals being discussed.
I hope that's understood.
Now here's the video.
Okay, it's official David just lost in court.
He lost, he took the L, he will be facing all of these charges.
He will be facing a trial.
He is going to be arraigned at the end of August,
and he will then have to make an official plea on these charges
because of what I'm hearing, the grand jury didn't charge him.
That's why we had this probable cause hearing.
Five-day preliminary hearing in the end.
It was absolutely intense.
It was a lot.
Okay, it was. And yes, they did, they did, um, he has to stand accountable for all the charges. So, uh, there's several, I forgot the, all of them, but there was no charge. They were like, nah, not that one. All of them. So he basically got, you know, it was a sweep.
There was actually a lot in the end. A lot went down. Um, five days worth of testimony, witnesses, back to back witnesses. And he got cooked. He lost. All right. Now, I've got all of my notes here. Uh, I'm going to be really careful about what I say to you guys. By the way, also.
It's unrealistic that he wasn't going to,
that he was going to win anything on a probable cause here.
So, like, I think he had to prepare that he's going to go to trial eventually.
Patreon on my free family lawyer for the civil suit.
So I'll have probably uploaded that video for what I say.
But I do think that, to be honest, I will friends with Asia.
Mental, all right?
Here we go.
Here's the stuff.
the day before Celeste was allegedly murdered. Celeste messaged David said,
but can you tell me why you want to be friends with Asia? Mental. David replied,
basically saying she was a friend of his, and she apparently replied, we didn't see what David's
response regarding Asia was. We didn't see that. We just saw Celeste basically being very jealous,
admittedly, she was clearly a jealous lover. You shouldn't be in love with a child. She got the
maturity of a 14 year old because she was a 14 year old, right? It's not really a surprise there.
But basically, she then followed up and said, bro, just jump into her. There's no need for friendship.
Keep her as an acquaintance like Lane Cooperstein or Rob, Morgan Roth. So Asia, Lane and Rob all came up
in a back-to-back triple combo, which I could not believe. It was like all, it was like the
Avengers of despicable people who have acted like they had nothing to do with this. Well,
Celeste knew who all three of you were. And she knew about your friendships. She said,
just bump into her. Just bump into Asia. No need for friendships. Just keep her as an acquaintance.
Like Lane or Rob, are you kidding me? What are you talking about? What on earth? So after that,
we basically saw, um, uh, Celeste follow that up by saying, and you're really saying you'd end our
friendship just to be friends with her talking about Asia over me. And then she said, that's disturbing
and disgusting to me on a deeper level. So after that, David replied and said, when did I say I'd
end my friendship with her for you? And then Celeste replied, uh, someone who's known you for
years over someone who knows you for one year, I didn't want to be friends with you if you still
want to be friends with her. So Celeste was jealous of Asia. That's now been proven. The day before
David allegedly murdered her, she basically was kind of like going back and forth with David
calling him out. I don't look, I'll admit, I don't know if Asia had knowledge of Celeste's feelings
towards her. The jealousy, these allegations, I don't know to what extent Asia was
aware. But Celeste was aware of Asia and she was jealous of her. And she was suspicious of David's
relationship. She said, keep her as an acquaintance like Lane or Rob. She was aware of Lane.
So this idea, people were talking about, there's a rumor going around that Celeste might have
been staying with Lane when she wasn't at the main house with David. Rob was mentioned. So Celeste
knows who Lane and Rob are. The fact that this little girl who David was messing with it,
you're all going to deny having anything to do with. She knew who you lot were. That's damning,
to be honest with you.
So anyway, all right, as Celeste said,
oh, I've known you for years.
You've only known Asia for one year.
You should be friends with me.
That was crazy.
Celeste basically went on to say,
why was she at your house then?
And David was like,
at my house when?
She said the address of the other house.
I guess he still had it.
And David was like, oh, well, for Coachella,
everybody came to get wristbands.
So she came over for a reason, basically.
There was a good reason.
Yeah, that's crazy.
This thing is explaining himself to a 13-year-old, bro.
This guy's a sick guy.
I, bro.
And the crazy thing is, you know, I seen someone make the point or ask the question, how did he have so much money?
Like, people really sleep on the fact of, hold on, let me pull this up.
Okay, if we go to Spotify and let's go to artists.
Okay.
And where can we search?
There's a search bar somewhere.
There's a search bar.
Actually, we could probably just search here.
D4
Yeah
Like he wasn't the biggest artist
But like he's not like some small
Artist, you know
Whatever
Like to compare his numbers
His numbers
You know obviously he was
He had a big upside
He's right by Baby Keem
Actually
His numbers is better than Baby Keem
Respectfully
I don't know if you guys can see it
So he's ranked
And this ranks all the artists
and he's 530, baby Keem is 531.
Now, this is about streams and streams in the millions.
So, you know, this Drake has 1.38 billion.
And when it comes to this David kid, he has 6.5 billion, which is even more than Baby Keem, which is 6.5, also at 6.5.
So just to put in perspective of people say, damn, how did he have like this?
because it was reported that his contract could have been worth up to $18, $19 million.
Well, if this guy has a lane to himself, he has a niche following,
his music has the potential to get bigger and bigger, yeah, these record labels,
you know, Interscope specifically, they were definitely heavily invested in him.
So I know people don't really, they're going off, oh, I never heard of him,
but you've heard a baby Keman
objectively look like he was a bigger artist
in baby Keeam, respectfully.
By streams, not saying overall, by streams.
Which that's what record labels care about a lot.
Isn't that she came over.
And this is where it got crazy, all right?
And the reason why I said that is that
this is why this guy is also incredibly sick.
It's like, this guy clearly, he has passes to go to Coachella.
I don't know if he ever performed at Coachell.
We could probably look it up now.
But you know, Coachella has all this.
the baddest bitches that are in their 20s.
Like my niggas, why are you cared about a 13-year-old, bro?
Okay.
Did David ever perform a Coachella?
And the answer, yes, he performed there in April 2025.
Wow.
Here's the Instagram.
Wow, look.
Suppose he went viral.
You tried to do a backflip and fell?
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Say one, two, three.
Ready?
All right.
Wow.
Interesting.
Talked about this in a short earlier.
But Celeste then threatened to kill David.
I'm not, I'll keep it real.
Look, it's bad.
It's damning.
But that's what happened.
So Celeste basically said, oh, my effing God.
I swear to God, I will kill you.
She was in my seat.
I think she's talking about maybe seeing Asia, like, sat in the seat of the Tesla that Celeste usually sits in.
or perhaps maybe there's a seat in the house
that's usually reserved for Celeste that Asia was in.
But she was jealous.
She said, I will kill you,
I will strangle you,
and tell my dad so many lies
and do so much damage to you and end your career.
That's crazy, okay?
Doesn't mean she deserves to die.
This is a 13-year-old while and out.
How many 13-year-olds have said,
I'm going to kill you before?
This is a kid.
So I don't care.
A lot of people are now saying,
oh my God, she threatened to kill him,
self-defense.
Nonsense.
They know self-defense.
This was a kid that was just
while and out, talking rubbish,
talking nonsense.
doesn't matter, not self-defense, but obviously it was bad. But really that just says to me the lengths
that David had actually pushed this minor too. She was so frustrated with him that she was talking about she wanted to kill him.
So she went on to basically say, she posted at your house, you weirdo, and then on the day of the murder, they continued talking to each other.
They talked about seeing each other. He sent an Uber. David said to her, are you coming at nine or is it too early or late for you?
Celeste said, I said I can go whenever. David basically leaned forward and stared at the screen. While these messages were going on, David was locked him.
Now, after that, Celeste said,
What you mean, leave at nine or get there at nine?
David said, leave at nine.
Celeste said, actually, yeah, or I can be in Riverside for it too, if you want.
She went on to say, by the way, is it chill if you get the Uber for me at 830?
I'll be back in Lake Elsinore.
It's hard to get Uber's there.
And then later on, David said, so get it to your house or down the street or something.
And Celeste said, let me check.
She sent him an address that I won't read to you.
And she basically, David went on to say,
why do I have to show you everything I get?
And so I said, um, because you had your, your, your, she didn't say this.
I don't want to say it.
I got to be careful what I say.
But she basically, to the effect, said, he said, why do I have to show you everything I get?
And Celeste said basically because you, you made me, uh, I was expecting because of you at some point.
All right.
So, um, after that, now this is.
That kind of confirms that he did get a pregnant.
Interesting.
Celest kept calling David like queen and girl.
And I think she was trolling him.
And I think she, Loki was that bullying him, like, you know what I'm saying?
Head under the arm, ruffling his head.
Like, she was just like, she was dogwalking him at some point.
She was like, get my Uber queen.
Like, he was calling her, she was calling him queen and Loki making a mockery of him.
And I just thought that was quite funny.
And she actually clearly had a sense of humor.
And she was sort of still roasting this full right to the bitter end.
So the address was shared.
I won't tell you the address, but the address was the address.
It was where it was.
Was it down the road?
I'm guessing it was.
And then basically they went back and forth.
David's saying four minutes, one minute, okay, he's there.
And she's saying, okay, and then while she's in the car, as we heard before, basically,
she was, so she was calling him Queen.
Then she said girly pop.
She was calling him girly pop, which was hilarious.
She said, girly pop, I'm almost at your door if you're home.
He replied, got you, gate open, door unlocked.
He didn't say, I'm going to open the door.
He said, gate open door unlocked.
Now that's something that the defense were trying to rely on later, basically saying, like, oh, you know,
he didn't say he was there.
He didn't even say that he was there.
Like, you know, he was there.
He didn't even say that he was there.
And it's like, gate open door unlocked, like, bro, come on, he was there.
And the cell tower suggested that he was in the vicinity of his own home.
This is when the alleged lies begun.
So this is when David basically said around 10.31 p.m.
And here's the thing.
She arrived to the car at 10.
Sorry, she arrived to his house allegedly at 10.10.
And that's when David said gate open door unlocked.
All right.
When she said, I'm almost here seven minutes before that.
And then at 1033, all right, David says,
Uber said you'll hear where you're at. Hello. Bro, Celeste. And after that last message from Celeste,
where she said, this is so sad. But the last thing she ever sent was Girlie Pop, I'm almost at your
door open if you're home. She never sends a message ever again in history. The girl never,
she never, ever sends any message. That's the last message she ever sent in her whole life.
All right. And you want to believe that because David's going, where are you at? Hello, bro, Celeste,
where are you at? And then she's apparently like, this is like 1033, 1036. And then
there's no messages from Celeste ever after 11 p.m.
And then basically, David then messages her at like half 11, says,
bro, blocking me. Hello?
Bro, I'm going to call you, bro. You're scaring me.
He was lying.
So, allegedly.
So then by...
It sounds like he'd killed her already, but he was trying to, like,
kind of like stage the messages that, oh, no, maybe she left and she was mad.
And I was trying to get up with her, but I didn't...
I don't know where she went.
1141, he's saying, dude, what the F, where are you, please?
And then he never texts her ever again.
She never sends a text ever again after that.
It's over with at this point.
It's completely overwith at this point.
So basically the detective made it clear.
He reviewed the Uber records.
The victim did arrive at the property at 10.10 p.m.
And then at 11.30 p.m.
And bear in mind, he's texting while this is going on.
But 11.30 p.m., his cell phone and his Tesla begin moving north towards Santa Barbara.
So interestingly enough, okay, they revealed something that we already know, but this was all while David was planning the rollout for his album, Withered, which obviously is just a ridiculous name, considering what ended up happening.
Now, it could have been a coincidence or it could have indicated some premeditation.
I'm not entirely sure, but at the end of the day, he basically had a bunch of album stuff to deal with after that.
Funnily enough, actually, he had been at a meeting with Interscope that day about his album rollout.
Now, we ended up seeing all of these locations in his Tesla infotainment.
He drove up to Santa Barbara, all of that kind of stuff.
And this is where the cross-examination took place.
So Blair took the stand, sorry, not to the stand, but Blair took the podium and begun
continuing to question this detective who was continuing on from the previous day's testimony.
And she basically got to blaming Celeste, painting David as a victim, painting David as somehow
kind of like being a victim in all this.
I'm going to get to it, but she painted out David to be such a bitch,
and that David was basically like a victim in all this.
and like he did what he's supposed to do kind of vibe that she was giving and blame the family.
So the first thing that Blair Burke said was basically the first contact with David and Celeste on
I message was August 2020, right?
So that was confirmed.
She said that was online text messaging, right?
When did they first meet in person?
They said they first met in person in November 2023, right?
They said first communication with Celeste, what was the first message?
So apparently the first message, within the first couple of messages that David and Celeste actually shared,
Celeste asked David his age.
And apparently he said 18.
Now, this is what's crazy.
Okay?
And I would say that Beth Silverman looked a little bit flustered and a little bit like just
a little bit pissed off at this light.
Just this general line of questioning, I was pissed off too because I feel like the line
that you could see the avenues they were going down and it was not pretty, it was not cool.
So after that, all right, basically there was kind of a back and forth and Beth objected
and said these are like random eye messages.
These aren't the extraction from Cellbrite.
and then Blair was basically telling the detective,
didn't you review these messages?
And he was like,
I can't really remember.
I've reviewed so many messages.
He could only remember the ones
that the prosecution were put in front of him.
For a moment,
it almost looked a little bit like,
okay, this is going to be a W in his favor.
But then it's like,
the detective kind of was just locked in
and started answering the questions.
And it was like, cool.
These are I message from David's...
Look, these are the cellbrite...
It was unclear to me,
but basically there was a whole back and forth
about where the detective was basically like,
we got all these messages
from a cellbrite extraction.
I can't remember all of them.
If you're asking me about specific ones, you're going to have to show me.
And then Blair basically produced a bunch of messages that were apparently sympathetic towards David,
that she then showed the detective one by one.
And Beth made sure to kind of oversee that and make sure what was being shown was legit.
But anyway, once we moved on to that, okay, they said in the first message between David and Celeste,
where Celeste asked David his age, they said, David told Celeste he was 17.
And the detective was like, well, I don't remember. He might have.
They said, well, you admitted Friday that when they first spoke, he was 17.
team. So the first thing they were going for was like this thing that like he was a
he was a minor too. I'm going to lean up against this. I think it'll be more comfortable.
You just jump in there. Thank you. So like this idea that like, oh, he was a minor two.
That was sort of where they were, how they were framing it to begin with. To say when they
first spoke, he was 172. After that, they basically talked about their birthdays. They kind of
went back and forth about all the details. They identified David's birthday. It was weird.
I don't know if this was a mistake, but I'm pretty sure they said David's birthday was March the 5th,
2005 and I thought I read on Google it was March the 28th. Maybe Google's wrong. I'm more inclined
to believe his lawyer or maybe she misspoke. But anyway, they said, fair to say, out of hundreds
of messages you reviewed, you focused on their ages, right? Because when the previous testimony
was being given, we constantly heard Beth Silverman pausing and saying, and just remind us,
how old was Celeste and David during these messages? And it was always, she's 13, he's 18,
over and over and over and over and over again, okay? So from there, basically they said,
you looked at tens, hundreds, thousands of messages, hundreds of thousands of messages,
and you focused in what was said.
So they said, on the first message they ever spoke,
David told Celeste he was 17, and what did Celeste reply?
And this was a bit of a bombshell.
David said he was 17, Celeste said, I'm 16.
Now, Beth objected to that.
There was a little bit of tension.
Blair had to rephrase the same question, but she got the same answer, yes.
Okay.
So when they first spoke, admittedly, all right, and this worked in David's favor.
David was 17, and Celeste had said she was 16.
Now, they claimed that over the...
Ah, so they're going with the angle of she, you know,
and they're probably going with this angle trying to make it not look so
like such a depraved crime.
So they're like, well, she told him she was around the same age as him.
And also they had to go back to when they first met
because now you then put his age under 18, right?
So now he's like, oh, well, he was a minor, she's a minor, you know?
Of course, the 2022, 2020.
Celeste actually changed her story and told David that she was 18.
Now, after that, okay, Blair would introduce various messages that actually came from the 22nd of April, 2025, the day before the alleged murder.
So basically, she kind of established when they first started talking they were both minors.
All right, fine.
And that she had lied about her age.
Okay, fine.
Doesn't change the fact this is a statutory offence.
She could say she's 80 years old.
It doesn't matter because if you abused her and you did the business, you are a criminal.
There is no...
I thought that it doesn't need malice or intent from what I understand for these charges.
But anyway, from there, okay, Beth, sorry, Blair Burke will introduce a bunch of messages
that were apparently sent either the, basically the day before they ended up meeting up.
And this was pretty crazy, okay?
They reviewed that same message that we'd already heard from the prosecution where
Celeste said, oh my God, I'll kill you, I'll strangle you to death, I'll tell my dad so many
lies, I'll injure your career, life and damage you.
Now, this is what was very, very interesting.
So after that, I can't actually tell you this message.
She said, I will straight up mutilate something of David's that's very sensitive.
That's what I'm going to say.
So basically, David replied, he said, you've turned this into a bigger thing than this conversation.
And now, I'm not going to lie to you, it wasn't really even brought attention to,
but that sentence was very ominous to me.
And I felt like that was the message where he decided to kill her.
That's just my opinion, right?
Allegedly.
But David replied when she said she would mutilate part of him.
David said, you've turned this into a bigger thing than this conversation.
What bigger thing? What? Murder?
Violence. I think that's when he decided. But you guys be the judge of that.
And obviously, the jury will really be the judge of that as well as the judge.
But anyway, I digress.
David says, this is how it goes with you. You have to find out after the fact that you do not listen to me.
That didn't really make sense to me.
But anyway, Celeste replied, said, nah, I don't even play like that.
I'll dead go to Val's door on some crazy shit, knocking and crying.
Now, anyway, I'll just move on from there, okay?
You can do your own research.
And then Blair basically went on to say there were 1,200 messages
that were sent between Celeste and David on the two days before the murder.
David basically said, why do you think...
1,200 is crazy.
Why do you think you proved my exact point?
Celeste said you have one more chance to tell me the truth.
She said, tell me the truth, David.
I need to see you tonight.
Tell me the truth.
Now, bear in mind the context of this all started.
they're talking about Asia.
So I don't know if this was other girls,
if it's specifically about Asia.
I don't know what was going on with that.
But basically, it was like,
you need to tell me the truth.
You need to tell me what's going on.
Now, a little bit of time passes.
David said,
uh,
um,
um,
so,
okay,
David said,
how are you going to feel distant?
You,
how are you going to say you feel distant?
You push me away from the start of the year.
So I said,
if I see you and Asia hanging out,
I'll make an anonymous account,
leaking all of the stuff I have on you.
Again,
Ah, so it was kind of crossing over into blackmail a bit.
Hmm.
Now, granted, obviously, there's just so much wrong.
We're not also condoning that either, right?
Like, you know, a chick blackmailing you.
But, again, you shouldn't even be dating her, right?
Like, you know, obviously, if I'm talking about blackmail,
I'm talking about if you're dating an actual woman who is not on their age.
But, like, say you had a secret if a woman or a man is going to blackmail you, that's not cool.
But again, David knew the bet he made.
He's dating a minor.
He's doing things that are highly illegal.
And he's doing that.
And then playing with this person that they get emotional.
And they're probably figuring out like, well, what the fuck could I do to get him back?
Doesn't mean she deserved to die.
But she was cooking him.
She was ready to expose him.
She made it very clear.
Just because someone's going to expose you for being a PDF related file,
you don't have a write-to-to-exhares.
kill them. That's no self-defense. This just provided a motive. And I think, I personally feel like
accidentally Blair Burke actually provided a lot of ammunition and motive. Because realistically
reading that, it's kind of like, well, it sounds like she gave, not she gave him no choice,
but as far as he was thinking about it, from the perspective of someone willing to murder to protect
their career and finances. Like, she had taken it there, so he was willing to take it there.
Anyway, um, she basically, Celeste continued threatening. It was crazy. She said, I still don't think he
was fully premeditated.
I'll give you my theory.
And remember, my theory is just thinking about just like this is crime.
I get it.
She's on her age and we want to be sensitive.
That's my disclaimer.
But if you had planned to kill her, why invite her to your house?
You know at some point she's going to be missing and they're going to go search your
house.
Hear what I'm trying to say.
Why not kill her somewhere else?
You know what I'm saying?
or maybe he thought he could have enough privacy in his house.
Also, I don't know, the wounds that she got that, I believe, is the fatal wounds,
which is the cuts and the stabs.
You know, stabbing to me always comes across as in the moment heat of passion,
like, you know, like an emotional reaction, a violent one that is clearly,
rather than, oh, this is what I plan to do.
Do you get what I'm saying?
So I'm thinking they're beefing, they're arguing, she comes over.
You know, she's probably a little slick with the mouth paws.
And she's probably saying, yo, listen, I'm going to ruin you.
Your career is done.
You're not going on tour.
You're not selling another album.
They're going to call you a creep.
You're fucking da-da-da.
And I'm pretty sure they get into it.
And somehow it gets there.
But I could be wrong, too, because even then,
if you're arguing with your girl like who thinks about going to get a knife to stab him that's weird so no maybe it's premeditated so i don't want to rule that out but i was thinking that maybe it wasn't but nothing of this situation makes sense said and i have all the old numbers from my phone printed out including your mom so i can contact her if anything oh no sorry i can contact her anytime lull david said okay with a laughing emoji and then she went on to say i also have some of you
somebody's fiance on my phone so I could text her it will spread to your work girl.
I don't know who that was.
Well, I heard the name.
It wasn't a name I'd ever heard before.
I'm not going to say whom, but yeah.
So Celeste said she had spread to your work girl.
So really it sounds like she had connections and phone numbers and contacts to the people involved in his career.
So basically, apparently there were threats.
Constantly back and forth, Blair basically said there were hundreds and thousands of texts between them, a lot of threats, a whole bunch of Celeste basically making threats.
And Blair basically pointed out, out of the hundreds and the thousands of texts, did Celeste ever say specifically about participating in a criminal prosecution?
And the detective admitted she never talked about testifying or taking it to the cops.
She just talked about taking it public.
Now, we found out at the end when the judge made the ruling, that doesn't fricking matter.
Doesn't matter.
It doesn't have to be taken it to the cops.
It can just be, I'm going to expose you.
That was enough for the special circumstances.
The cops would have liked her to be a witness,
but it doesn't mean that they need an investigation
or for her to willingly be saying,
I'm going to test.
Okay, so part of the special circumstances is, like, witness tampering.
Obviously, you killed the witness, you know,
but they're looking at that for if they were going to prosecute him on,
on child sex charges,
she would have been a potential witness
and he ended up killing her
so that's why he caught those charges
and the judge is saying
yeah even if she didn't specifically say
she was going to go to the cops
clearly her saying she wanted to go public
she was down to be a witness
find this upcoming trial
that hasn't happened yet okay so that didn't help
that was one of the many straws
they can continue to clutch out
so after that
basically like
Blair said, just reiterated, like, she threatened to kill him, to call his mom to leak stuff, threaten him, but she never once mentioned going to the police.
Now, the last, the last threat apparently came, I don't think there's a threat, but anyway, David has said, I know you ended the, David basically said, I know you ended the friendship like 10 times.
And then David said,
um,
when are you coming to mine?
Um,
are you going to want food?
I'm going to be hungry at the end of the day.
She says,
sure,
what kind girl?
So she's still roasting him,
calling him girl and shit,
which is quite funny.
She's like,
yeah,
what time girl?
What kind of girl?
What kind of food?
Um,
and David said in and out
and she said,
Kay.
Um,
and they tried to present this like,
look,
he wouldn't murder her.
He offered her in and out.
Who,
you couldn't possibly give someone an in and out to,
uh,
you know,
entice them into a sense of security
and then murder them.
Surely not, right?
That was absurd.
Like, the idea that, like, look, come on, man.
Like, if I'm going to go and catch your body,
if as long as I buy someone in and out beforehand,
I guess that's just fine.
That's just fair play, is it?
That was ridiculous.
But from there, Blair basically went on to say,
this is where she started putting the blame on the family,
and I really didn't like this.
And to be honest, this made me think, oh, okay,
so that message that was going around yesterday
that was supposedly from a neighbor,
that probably had been leaked out there
with coordination from the defense,
because suddenly a lot of things in that neighbor's message matched up with things that Blair was saying
that nobody should have known about. And I'm still skeptical. A lot of people are going to be coming out of
this hearing saying, oh, see, the family knew the family were in on it. I still think what they said
about the family was very flimsy. I'm going to tell you why. I'll tell you what they said,
and then I'll tell you why I think it's BS. Blair basically asked the detectives, David was known to
Celeste family, right? He said, yeah. I said, after the missing persons report, Celeste's parents allowed
Celeste to live away from home in May 2024 with her arm in the same city that David lived in.
And the detective said yes. Now, I thought that was a very clever misdirection. She tried, the way
she worded it tried to make it seem like, see, she let she let David go and live in Los Angeles.
Sorry, she let Celeste go and live in Los Angeles with David, right? That was the way she
worded. She let him go live in Los Angeles where David lived with her arm. It was almost like
playing shuffle with certain words. Because just because she went to live in Los Angeles with her
aunt doesn't mean that she was given permission to live with David. Permission to live in the same
city with David when this girl's been sneaking out lying to the parents for years, getting secret
cell phones they don't know about. They're trying to make it seem like the parents signed a permission
slip for their minor daughter to go and live with David. And that is not true. That is misinformation.
And the way that it was spun, I think, is out of line. So really, they said that Celeste,
for whatever unrelated reasons, they didn't say why. They didn't say had anything to do with David.
But Celeste went to live with her auntie in the Los Angeles County area. Not Hollywood, not West
Hollywood, not in the vicinity of David's house, not in David's house. She was living with her auntie in the
Los Angeles County area. That's a big area. Okay, but everybody is going to now put that out there
and say, see, the family said that she could go and live with David. Not true, but I could see what
she was doing. And look, fair play to Blair, she's doing the best she can with a bad situation to try
and give the man a defence, which everyone deserves a defence at the end of the day, even though this guy
looks to me to be a monster. But at the end of the day, everyone deserves a defence. And I think that what
actually ended up happening after that was, we kind of saw her twist.
things to make it seem like there was more family complicity than there actually was.
They went on to say aunts and cousins knew about the relationship, yes?
Now here's the clever misdirection.
Blair said at the start, David was known to Celeste's family.
Didn't say parents, said known to the family.
And then they said, aunts and cousins knew about the relationship.
They said, yes, now look, I don't know the ages or the backgrounds of the aunts and cousins.
You're more likely to tell your sibling about a little secret illegal relationship you've got going on
than maybe your parents who are going to be judgmental and step in.
Some people have got that relationship with aunts and cousins.
I've got uncles that are closer in age to me.
It depends what your family tree looks like, right?
I thought that was clever misdirection.
David was known to Celeste family, yep.
Did aunts and cousins know about the relationship?
Yes.
They said, did David attend church with Celeste's family?
And David would pick Celeste up from the family and take her on dates at the mall.
That was a yes.
But here's the thing, and I talked about this earlier.
Saying David attended the church with a family makes it sound like
Celeste's whole family was all there with David. Oh, this is our boy, David. Remember in that
message that was going around yesterday that was apparently from the neighbour that said, oh,
you know, they were showing David and Celeste off in the community. They all loved him.
They loved each other. I couldn't imagine him killing her. Now, I think that's nonsense,
but I think they put that out there to muddy the waters. But listen carefully, David attended
church with the family. That to me could mean they just simply attended the same church.
They could have easily gone completely separately. David and Celeste could have been the only ones,
or David Celeste and her cousin could be the only ones actually knew
there was a relationship. David could be sitting five rows back, giving Celeste a little wink when
nobody's looking, and that's it. That doesn't necessarily mean that they were all welcoming David
into the community open arm like we were led to believe. And then they, I feel like Blair basically
attach those two things together. David attended church with a family and would pick Celeste up from
the family house and take her on dates to the mall. They didn't say that he would knock on the family
door and bring her out and shake hands with everybody in the family and give them birthday gifts,
the type of nonsense that we were seeing in that post going around. All they said was David attended the
same church with the family doesn't mean that they were all together hand in hand.
And David would pick her up from the house and take her on dates.
Well, we know that David would try and pick her up in the middle of the night with his security guard secretly trying to kidnap her.
So that doesn't mean anything as far as the family being friendly.
That doesn't mean that the parents condone the whole thing.
And I'm very...
Yeah, but still, if the parents knew or had an inclination as she was hanging out with them and anything more than a friend,
actually I'm going to be honest with you
13 year old shouldn't even be a friend
with somebody who was like 1819
so again I'm not saying this is a parent's fault
but like we got to start looking at the parents
or the family to be like
how did y'all not do something
suspicious and I'll give her credit as a lawyer
she worded it well and she definitely made it seem
very much like there was a lot of complicity
wrongfully in my opinion
they would go on to say David took Celeste's
family to six flags.
Family makes it sound like the whole mom, dad, cousins, brothers, sisters,
everybody was at six flags.
As far as I'm aware, it was just a sister.
It was just her sister, right?
And you might have your little secrets with your sister.
Your sister might know about your secret older boyfriend.
Maybe not your parents.
Maybe not your older aunties, your older higher level guardians.
But again, she kept saying, oh, the family knew.
And then she would focus on like one's relationship.
Oh, David took Celeste family.
family members of Celeste Six Flags, right?
Whoa, what, just the sister?
And then they said the Vegas trip.
Celeste adult sister was aware of the relationship, right?
And that adult sister went to Vegas with them.
And then basically, the detective interjected and said, well,
accompanied them to Vegas, went with them isn't right.
She went in a different car at a different time.
She stayed elsewhere in a different hotel.
Doesn't really, she was in Vegas at the same time.
That doesn't even necessarily mean that, you know,
it said that they had apparently met up in Las Vegas.
That could have been one or two times that they met up, and that could have been a sister that kind of was knowing a little bit about the relationship, keeping it hush, hush.
But the idea was like the family were all aware. They're all going big family vacation to Vegas.
The way she presented it was genius, but I saw through it.
From there, okay, they said Celeste school friends know about it, right?
And they said yes, but again, they were both posting pictures on social media.
David had all these secret clandestine pictures of like Celeste arm in the picture.
Of course the school friends knew. The teacher knew.
This was like a, I don't want to say like an open secret, but like word had got out, and that doesn't mean that everybody was complicit and played it.
There was clearly a lot of deceit going on, especially on David's behalf, but also partly Celeste was deceiving people too.
Arguably, she had been deceived by David as well. But that did definitely make me wonder, to what extent, like, is, you know, to what extent is, like, are they kind of reframing a lot of this stuff to try and make it seem like something it wasn't?
I'm not convinced just because there was a notarized, a lot of emphasis on notarized, do your research into that.
But they were kind of, that was like supposed to be like this smoking gun.
But the reality is that could have been forged.
It could have been genuine, but they could have been lied to about the boyfriend's age.
They could have said, oh, yeah, my boyfriend's family's rich.
He wants to go on this family trip to London and he's only 16.
She could have said, oh yeah, he's getting his parents to sign a notary form as well for Permanent.
mission, easily all types of lives could have been told.
So I really don't think that it was fair to characterize the parents like that, and the parents
were in court for this to be read.
So the parents' size something.
Right?
So the parents, you know, listen, at some point, we got to require parents to be parents.
You can't just be signing shit.
You got to be up in your daughter, your son's business.
Speak English, so they might not have understood as it happened.
But anyway, after that, they said they went through social media searches.
They identified pictures of Celeste and David online.
They basically kind of like, Blair tried to make this point that like,
oh, there were images that were basically shared publicly by David and Celeste.
So it wasn't this big secret.
Like, they were out there publicly.
People knew that they were together.
And it was kind of a bit flimsy.
But they also said, oh, there was pictures of them online from Discord.
They were gaming a lot.
They were gamers.
That's how they met.
They met gaming, all this kind of thing.
And again, like, I just feel like it was, I feel like it was, I feel like,
like it, they thought it was going to be more compelling than it was. From there, um, basically
the detective said, look, I can't verify all the photos on social media. I can only verify the
photos that like we've taken off of the, um, that we've taken off of the, what's it called?
Uh, celebrate off of his own devices. Like the, the items that they had taken off of his devices,
um, were essentially like, you know, those were the things that they were relying on in court.
And like all the stuff on social media, the stuff on Reddit, the stuff on Discord.
The detective basically said, look, that's not stuff we can verify. We don't rely on that.
So a lot of the stuff Blair was relying on didn't meet the standard of proof that a detective would actually want to basically put it out there
Now after this
We would basically hear that apparently and this was pretty damning and now Blair's putting this out there as evidence in favor of David
But I don't think this helped him if anything this just threw everyone else under the bus
But she basically said to the detective which who confirmed that David's management team all went with David and Coachella with David and Celeste
And I thought they said that Celeste went to Coachella
But I didn't think that that was true.
So that was a little bit confusing to me.
Obviously, we know that David's management team was at Coachella and we saw a lot of pictures.
I talked about the pictures the other day about how Josh Marshall had his kids at Coachella backstage with David.
I see Josh Marshall and them doing a little privacy complaint on the video, right?
We're way ahead of you.
We already blurred everything out that was personal to you guys, right?
You don't have any right to have your video of you guys flexing your watches and laughing about the situation to be private.
You guys are public figures and you put that out on Ziv Tamas page.
We'll deal with that separately, right? Those guys are absolute losers, all right?
But anyway, from there, okay, we ended up hearing, this was crazy.
I'm not going to say the name, but they mentioned somebody in the industry by name.
I wrote the name down, all right?
I brought your name down.
They basically said people in the industry, a music producer went out socially with David and Celeste together.
So whoever that was, you're going to be in big trouble.
So while Blair was kind of doing that thing, I noticed.
sir.
What could that be?
David looked down.
They brought up the Fonda Theatre and again they tried to bring up all this damning stuff
that doesn't look good for David, but like as if it was in his defense.
So they basically said, oh well, Celeste was, it sat in between David's family, his siblings
at the Fonda Theatre with his management team.
Everybody knew, everybody accepted their relationship.
It was kind of like, bro, this isn't helping.
This is just throwing everybody else under the bus and it really like, cool.
If you want to just cook a bunch of other people along with him, that's cool.
But like, I'm not really sure that they're not really sure that they're just,
that's really going to help you too much.
So, interestingly, one of the craziest things that came up is they actually said that,
Blair basically said that Celeste, and there was proof that Celeste had previously committed domestic
violence against David.
A tiny little 13-year-old had apparently committed domestic violence against David.
And now Beth objected to this, and Blair said it shows a lack of malice planning and laying
and weight, references to prior domestic violence.
Yeah, so they're not counteracting the murder charges.
there's just the underage charge and also the stalk in charge line and wait.
Apparently incidents in 2024 and 2025 where Celeste had been violent towards David,
but the judge said, look, for this proceeding, this is a probable cause hearing.
It's not relevant.
We don't need to include that.
You can bring up these specific incidents in trial, but you can't really get to it now.
Now, to be honest, I've been talking for a very long time.
I'm not going to wrap up the video, but what I might do is just like do a little lap and just have a little stroll because to be,
honest. All right. Okay. This trial is going to be really interesting. Obviously, I think he has
some potential defenses to say, well, if the parents are consenting, how is this illegal? Now, the big
thing is going to be the murder, right? The big thing is going to be the murder. Obviously,
we really don't think he's not going to get cooked on everything else. We think he's going to
get cooked on everything. But, you know, the big thing they're going to try to get is this
murder charge to stick. How do you explain her last messages to you? How do you explain that her
phone tracks to your house? How do you explain that you leave the area sometime afterwards,
but you claim you don't know where she's at? How do you explain that she never sent
to a message again in our life? It's a lot for him to explain. I can't effing be friends with you.
you were with Neo and an Asia bro
Find a date I can see you
She's pressuring him
So they give all these examples
Of all these times when they're like
Oh look you you were pressure
And you were pressuring to see them
And they basically went on to say
Explain why I can't see you before Singapore
David's like my parents are here
I want to have an in-person conversation
So it sounds like really
He was saying like
I want to tell my parents
What I got going on with you really
So I wonder whether the parents knew
Or they didn't know at this point about the age
And that he wanted to actually reveal
the situation that was going on. I don't know.
But that's what he said. I want to have an in-person conversation.
And then Celeste replied, she was on his ass.
She said, I need proof that your parents are there.
Flights or you're lying. I saw other people in your house.
And then David said, they get here on Thursday, but I can't do tomorrow.
Why do we need to meet in person before I'm back?
I can see you tomorrow. She replied, I can see you tomorrow.
I can dead ass go to Riverside too.
She said, we need to talk in person, please, man.
David said, no. Celeste said, you have one more chance to tell me the truth.
You're hurting me.
I don't know if you've ever been told this.
It said, no, bro, cut this shit.
I'm seeing you today.
And David was like, okay.
And basically, there was some other stuff that came up.
I'm actually not going to say it just to be careful, just to be more careful.
So basically, after all this, Blair starts questioning the detective and saying,
well, you couldn't confirm if Celeste actually wrote the message.
You know, when Celeste said girly pop, I'm almost at your door.
open the door, I'm almost there. They said, well, she wasn't there when she sent that.
So you can't prove that she was there. And they said, oh, was, was, you can't prove that
David was in his address, in his home. And the detective's like, well, we could triangulate his
phone to his address. And they were like, yeah, but you couldn't tell if he was inside or outside,
right? Like, that was some gotcha. And they was like, yeah, well, I mean, that's the
address. Like, that's where the car was. That's where, like, she was ultimately found.
Like, it's basically, it is what it is. Um, so after that, um, they basically went back and
forth, she was sort of saying, oh, you can't prove that he was in the property.
They said he was playing a VR video game with two other people right before she arrived.
And they were trying to use that as a way to say, oh, you know, there was no lying in wait.
It was just, they was playing VR and she came over.
He wasn't lying in wait.
He stopped playing the game and went and spoke to her or not.
Like, who knows what happened?
You can't prove that he ever even spoke.
He wasn't even in.
Okay.
All right.
I think that's enough.
We'll see how this goes at trial.
Traplor Ross.
Thank you for your amazing reporting.
and also obviously we have Lauren Conlin.
She's also in court as well.
We'll be using her recaps as well.
So we'll see what's going to happen.
But if you're asking me,
our official prediction is that he will be found guilty of first degree murder.
All right.
In another case,
that's kind of like interest in Nolan Wells.
This is the kid who went missing after going to a remote island with his friends.
They all came back without him.
they don't know what's happened afterwards
and he found washed up
ashore and he was dead
afterwards okay
it's been speculated if he was killed
if he ended up just being
just drowning and
so far the official word from
all the teens that were with him
they're like no he said he wanted to stay back
to go hang with a girl we left him
and you know people say well why do you leave his phone with you why did he leave his keys with you
and we don't really have full answers for that even though there's some preliminary answers like
supposedly there's no service there so some people usually leave their phones behind but even then
you're staying behind why it makes no sense anyway there's some new audio that's being released and
apparently this is a 911 call after these guys so so they're on this boat and apparently
the boat has started to malfunction so they even
eventually have to kind of like ditch the boat or kind of like get the boat back to like,
you know,
the doc is as quickly as they could.
In the 911 call because they did call for help,
people feel like they hear something that could be a background,
you know,
happening of maybe him getting,
you know,
either murdered or him being unconscious and people admitted.
Check this out.
That's the question.
Is there a person,
a living individual on the boat?
And there's lots of people breathing on the boat.
A new audio recording from the Nolan Wells case
captures the chaos on the water of the day
the 18-year-old disappeared off Mississippi's Horn Island.
And now we're hearing the frantic distress call.
The United Cajun Navy is also firing back
at attorney Ben Crump over a major claim.
And also there is this decision by prosecutors
to keep a key piece of evidence under wraps for now
that is telling a lot about where this investigation may go.
I'm going to break down every new development in this story.
Welcome to Sidebar, presented by Law and Crime.
I'm Jesse Webner.
Okay, we're back with a lot more that has happened since we last updated you on the case of Nolan Wells.
I think the last time we updated you was when the results of that independent autopsy were released,
which, by the way, came out they couldn't rule out foul play,
so it leaves Nolan's family still demanding answers.
There's still, of course, the state medical examination and the toxicology reports on what will come of that.
But now what do we have? We have new audio that has been released by the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources. And it is giving us a glimpse into some of the chaos that was occurring on the water on that fateful July 4th day. One of the first pieces of audio that we're hearing from that day captures what appears to be the frantic moments as a boat that Nolan had potentially been on that day that was connected to this group began taking on water. And we've got the full
call. We're going to unpack it for you. But first, just listen to this. Hey, we're at the west tip of
horn and our village stopped working. We're going, we're sinking. Can you all please come?
Yes. How far is the water coming up, sir? It's coming up. We're just thinking. I don't know.
Like, we're going down. So that's what I've been talking about. That is the sound of what appears to
be panic as the boat was taking on water. But there is one thing that we're trying to figure out.
where was Nolan Wells?
Where was Nolan Wells when that was happening?
Was he on the boat?
Was he already off the island?
We don't know.
It's one of the many gaps that we're still trying to piece together in the time.
He's supposed to be off the boat because they claim he said he was going to go talk to a girl.
And what we're hearing is just one piece of this overarching puzzle.
Nolan's friends are talking now.
We're going to tell you what they said in these interviews.
The United Cajun Navy that was part of these search efforts for Nolan,
they are firing back at attorney Ben Crump, who's representing Nolan Welles family right now.
They are disputing a key detail and making a shocking claim about what they've actually discussed,
or rather what they haven't discussed.
The DA, the district attorney, is planning a move that's going to change when we'll get
a look at the results of the state's autopsy.
So a lot is happening.
I want to get into it all.
But first, let me just make sure everybody's on the same page with this if you haven't been
following the case from the beginning.
So we're talking about 18-year-old Nolan Wells.
He was from Ocean Spring, Mississippi.
He was a college student football player.
On the 4th of July, he went with a group of friends to Horn Island.
It's a barrier island off the Mississippi coast.
It's really isolated.
There's no like commercial developments or anything like that going there to celebrate.
At some point, he disappeared.
He was reported missing that night.
A massive search was launched.
And then two days later, on July 6th, his body was found on the island.
But what happened to him? That remains the central question. That remains a question that nobody at least publicly can seem to answer or has answered. The results of the family's independent autopsy listed Nolan's cause and manner of death as undetermined. And remember, the family seemingly being distrustful of law enforcement or suspicious or maybe critical that the first impressions of what happened to Nolan were there were no signs of found play. This seemed to be accidental drowning. They seem to want more answers or a second opinion. So they
fired Ben Crump, they ordered an independent autopsy. And this pathologist found that pieces
of Nolan's body were talking portions of his neck throat had been removed by the state
medical examiner because the state medical examiner did the first autopsy. Again, we don't have
the results. So been removed by the state medical examiner before this second autopsy could be
done. So this second pathologist couldn't determine whether there was in fact injury or
trauma to the neck. And that leaves many questions still on the table. It raises a question.
If the state ME is doing further testing of those components, can the state ME definitively
conclude there was trauma that this was drowning? Drowning accidental or not? Maybe it's tough to say
if it's accidental or not, given those watery conditions. And then there's that red discoloration
in the back of the head, which we talked about last time, according to medical experts I spoke to,
it could be from decomposition. It could be a blunt injury before death.
Because when I spoke with Dr. Nader Rutherford, she said that the body doesn't bruise like that after death.
But let's start unpacking that.
Okay.
So he's given like this real windup that you could be caught up to speed.
The independent autopsy cannot rule out that he got killed.
But it also can't rule out that maybe he's just drowned.
There was bruising on the back of the head.
We're not bruising.
It was red.
that is something to look into to see if maybe he hit his head or something like that.
Similarly, other than the bruising, they're thinking that, you know, or some people have
been incorrectly thought that because his throat or, you know, some chest cavity stuff was removed,
that means it's a cover up.
But no, it's kind of like par for the course when they do autopsy.
They might, you know, they think he died for drowning.
So they might cut out a portion of either as long or, or, you know, throat to try to figure out how
as airwaves, you know, were probably operating before the fatal incident.
Now, what we're now learning, what's new?
So the Mississippi Department of Resources released a recording of a distress call made on July 4th
from a boat near Horn Island, which we believe Nolan was on at some point during that day.
We don't know for sure who made this call, but it does.
offer us a look into what was unfolding out there on the water that day, including the boat
sinking, the kids panicking. And again, where is Nolan? Now, before I play this audio,
just something to keep in mind. I first saw this from TMZ, Charles LaPOTier, basically said
that there's a conversation happening online that in this audio, in the background, you can
possibly arguably hear, is he dead? Nolan. Oh, my God. Very difficult to make it.
out, I leave it to you. Let me just play this. I don't know if it's going to be part of a conversation,
but here you go. Detail assistance. Vicki speaking. How can I help you? And is everybody on board
and good health otherwise? Yeah. Yeah. Everybody's talking about. All right. Do you need the
United States Coast Guard? What? Do you need the United States Coast Guard? No, we do not need that.
All right. All right. Do you have your current GPS coordinates? Let me go look.
46.72. Okay, my coordinates are 30 degrees by 14.684 north and then west by 88 degrees by 46.79.
All right. How many adults and children on board? No, there's no children. So is there anybody on board? How many adults, sir? That was the question.
How to jump in and pull the plug while you're going. Hello, sir.
Yep, I just need you to answer these questions so I can get you over to the captain.
Okay, how many adults on board?
There's zero adults on board.
There's nobody on board the boat?
No.
Nobody here is over the age of 21.
Sir, that was not the question.
Is there a person?
Is there a person, a living individual on the boat?
Yes, there's lots of people breathing on the boat.
All right.
How many people, sir?
Like seven.
The dispatcher then transfers the call to a captain.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah, I just actually got off the phone with his grandpa, so I'm guessing as the owner of the boat.
And he said, I literally, I mean, I just hung up with him.
He said that they don't need any help right now, but if something changes, he'll call me back.
So I'm guessing that they may have figured it out because that's why he said that they're in a panic and their boat won't crank.
As I said before, we don't exactly know where Nolan was at this point.
But according to reporting from WLOX, this distress call was made around 4 p.m.
And according to the Jackson County Sheriff's Office and other accounts that we've heard,
Nolan was apparently last seen around 3 p.m.
So interesting.
That audio, I can't hear anything, Ted.
How many adults, sir?
And is everybody on board?
I can't hear it, Ted.
I can't hear it.
Good health otherwise?
Yeah.
Yeah.
How many?
All right.
Do you need the United States?
All right.
I'll skip past it.
Had eyes on him.
But I want to talk about it.
I'm going to get some coffee chat.
I ain't going to lie.
I'm feeling.
I don't know why I'm feeling tired.
Let me get some coffee.
About what happened since that press conference?
Because if you watched our previous episode,
you might remember that we talked about this moment,
this big detail that attorney Ben Crum shared about how Nolan was found.
The United Cajian Navy are so forthcoming.
The fact that they told us we haven't heard from any of their local officials
that Nolan was found face down fully clothed.
Well, that's significant to us because the last time we saw him on the videos,
he was worth out of shirt.
So at what point did he put on a shirt?
Somebody saw something.
Somebody knows something.
There were almost 300, 400 people.
Somebody knows something.
Major moment, because if it's connected to it,
if you remember that piece of video
that surfaced just days before the press conference, right?
This video, which TMZ obtained and published,
was recorded on July 4th at 2.23 p.m.,
so a little under 40 minutes before Nolan was last seen,
appears to show an individual a man.
There's an argument that that could be Nolan
wearing blue swim trunks and shirtless.
And we remember there was a photo of Nolan Wells that had been circulated from that day wearing
those trunks with his friends. So Crump was raising the question of whether anyone saw anything
in between when he was without a shirt like here, if this is him, and allegedly when he claims
he was later fully clothed. Here's the problem. The problem is that the United Cajun Navy says they
never told Crump he was fully clothed and they are firing back at his initial claim. They're now
coming for him. On July 26, they wrote on X, did attorney Crump lie?
about UCN? Yes. He said UCN told us Nolan was fully clothed. Not true. We have never spoken with Crump,
and we certainly didn't tell the parents anything like that. Now, here's where it gets a little
confusing, because this fully cloth claim doesn't actually originate with Ben Crump. No, the president of
the United Cajun Navy, Todd Terrell, was on a July 20th episode of Crime Stories with Nancy
Graze and said yes to a question about Nolan being fully clothed. But Terrell seemingly later corrected
himself saying Nolan was clothed, meaning he wasn't naked. He was wearing swim trunks and that, yes,
he should have been clearer. So the Cajun Navy mentioned that in this ex post writing, quote,
did the UCN president get taken out of context during an interview? Yes, his definition of fully clothed
meant not being naked wearing swim trunks. It doesn't matter what anybody else thought it meant.
it only matters what Todd meant because he said it. The bottom line is that Nolan was wearing only
swim trunks when found. That's a fact that can't be refuted. This is a manufactured distraction to
divert attention from this press conference blunder. So that's the dispute with the United
Cajun Navy. But now I want to talk about the key figures in this case who are now speaking out,
Nolan's purported friends. They sat down for lengthy interviews with conservative commentator
Brandon Tatum on the Officer Tatum show. What they're saying,
is adding even more layers to all of this. So for example, first up, traced in shepherd,
described as one of Nolan's best friends. However, there's been some commentary that Nolan's
family has maybe publicly disputed this. But here's what he spoke about with Officer Tatum.
So he spoke about the moment that he learned that Nolan's body had been found, saying, quote,
I was putting fuel in our boat at six. I got told that they were taking out another boat to
chandelier at seven. So I put my boat back on the lift. And I had to,
I went to McDonald's and then I got the news after I left, McDonald's, that his body was found.
He says he had nothing to do with Nolan's death and that he has been living with guilt
ever since saying, quote, I beat myself up every night I laid down, beat myself up anytime it crosses
my mind because in my head, if I wasn't drinking, if I didn't get into that altercation,
apparently there was an altercation that day, not involving Nolan, but involving him,
maybe I would be able to do something. Maybe I would have told Nolan, hey man, you're not
going with that girl, just come back with us. Maybe it just plays out different. So yes, he's talking
about this altercation that he says happened on the island, this apparent fight with a stranger that got
so intense that he claims his uncle made him get back on the boat and leave. And regarding the
girl comment, that's interesting because this is what he says was the last thing he told Nolan that
day. Quote, all right, buddy, I love you. See you later. I'm glad I said it. I had been under the influence
a little bit, and that's probably why I did say it at the time, just, you know, getting all
lovey-dovey, but I'm at peace, I said it. Another friend, Warren Hudson, also spoke out, was interviewed,
talked about the phone, the keys, the night everything unravel. According to Hudson, they were in an
emergency situation. They needed to leave quickly, which is why they wanted to get Nolan on board.
And he said, quote, Nolan, get the on the boat. Get on the boat. And Nolan said, no, I'm staying out
here. Now, this whole back and forth about whether Nolan stayed on the island to talk to a girl,
Nolan's family has indicated from the very beginning, it would be very unlike him to leave his friends.
And this is of note, too.
According to people, Nolan's mom, Christine Wensley, said in a prior interview with the griot,
this is weeks back, that this young lady that Nolan was apparently talking to contacted her.
She said in the interview, quote, she did reach out to me initially, just saying basically like
it was a hay and by type situation.
So it's not entirely clear, did he follow this girl?
How long were they together?
How long were they talking?
And look, one of the biggest outliers in all of this, why people have a lot of questions is no matter what happened to Nolan, no one saw anything. No one saw him drowning if that's the case.
Now, look, we don't know exactly what's being told to law enforcement, what's being told to Ben Crump and his team.
But that's a big question. So here's what the phone comes in. Okay. So Nolan's family has raised concerns about content being deleted. And remember, the phone was left.
Okay. So the steps we're going to get to trying to figure all this out.
It's kind of unclear.
We're waiting for the medical examiner to come with some official finding.
The redness on the back of the head, that could be alarming and chilling, but we're also not pathologists.
We don't know exactly how the body is in certain situations.
Or, you know, the independent autopsy, that person who conducted it was really careful to say,
redness.
Well, if you got hitting the back of the head really hard, it might be a bruise.
It could be an abrasion.
It could be a cut.
We're not hearing that.
We're hearing redness.
So not too sure what that means, but obviously it's cause of concern.
The more this thing kind of lags along, it gives you cause for concern.
And I would hope that the, you know, like law enforcement or whoever that's working to try to figure out if there was a crime committee here, they would act quicker than
just kind of drag their feet because
with each moment
that comes, you know, that passes
and more things that come out that people
have to decipher for themselves
is going to get to a point
where people won't believe whatever
the
medical examiner
or the cops say unless it agrees
or aligns with what they say, what
they already think. So
I would hope they're putting some urgency
to this because this could turn
to a huge thing.
left behind on the boat, apparently.
The family has indicated they used a Life 360 app to locate Nolan's phone, and then they got
custody of it from his friends.
But they also said that they found it strange that he would leave the phone behind if he
was planning to stay on the island.
But Hudson said this, quote, there was no reason for us to get on Nolan's phone.
No one touched Nolan's phone.
No one even was in contact with his phone until it was moved from the boat to the truck,
and none of us have access to Nolan's password to get on his phone and delete anything.
We had no reason to delete anything.
There's nothing to hide here.
And there's been a conversation about maybe he wouldn't take his phone because you're
entering at the salt water.
Maybe that's common when you're boating.
Now, Hudson also clarified the timeline because the last time he claims he saw Nolan was
around 3 p.m. on July 4th and he claims he saw Nolan in the water with a girl.
Said, quote, I looked at Nolan and Nolan was like shaking his head laughing and I was like,
dude, you crazy.
Now, both Shepard and Hudson denied having anything to do with Nolan's death, okay?
But now I want to talk about another update, major update, that's impacting the investigation itself.
Just last week, the DA, the district attorney, Angel Myers-Macelath, made an announcement confirming
the state's official autopsy report. It's being weighed. It won't be released to the public
until a grand jury reviews it. That's significant. Grand jury being impaneled to determine if
criminal charges are warranted. And the DA made this clear when speaking with...
Wait, wait, wait, I missed that. I missed that.
been confirming the state's official autopsy report.
It's being weighed.
It won't be released to the public until a grand jury reviews it.
That's, okay, so that's good.
So there's going to be a grand jury that looks into this.
Now, just like with the David case,
the grand jury might be an investigative grand jury,
where maybe they have to subpoena a bunch of people
because I don't know if this is just clearly,
you know, if the ME finance doesn't seem consistent
with a homicide, what is a grand jury looking at?
significant.
Grand jury being impaneled to determine if criminal charges are warranted.
And the DA made this clear when speaking with WLOX saying, quote, every death in the county,
except those of natural causes and non-criminal car wrecks is presented to your grand jury.
Many people don't know that we have handled death investigations in this manner my entire career.
She also said her office is handling the investigation the same way as all others telling WLOX,
The pressure for answers does not change what the work requires. Our responsibility to Nolan in our community is to complete this investigation thoroughly and carefully without compromise, supported by the evidence and worthy of the confidence of the people we serve. Our restraint in communicating facts and evidence is not an effort to keep the truth from the public. It is an effort to protect the integrity of this investigation and the grand jury proceeding. And that would make sense because if you have information out there, will it affect other witnesses accounts, witness testimony? Could they change the narrative?
narrative at all? Could it affect potential grand jurors being impaneled? You want to keep everything
as buttoned up as possible while this is an ongoing investigation. Now, she also addressed the flood
of misinformation that has been swirling online, saying, quote, if we sacrifice the integrity
of the process in an effort to satisfy today's questions, we risk undermining confidence in tomorrow's
answers. Here's the thing. DA says this is standard procedure. Nolan's family has been frustrated
by the lack of transparency from the very beginning.
They've called on local officials to be more forthcoming.
They've made it clear they don't trust.
The investigation is being handled maybe properly.
And as for when that grand jury will convene, the DA hasn't set.
So for now, we're waiting to see what happens next.
We've been on top of this from the very beginning.
Yeah, interesting.
I'll play the audio again.
Someone, I've seen some breakdowns of the audio on Twitter
where people say, no, if you isolate this and you,
You pitch up this, you do that, you could hear the background noise.
It's a 911 call.
Here we go.
Give me one.
I'm trying to see if, okay, here we go.
This is the longer version.
Are you on Rhode Island?
Yes.
All right.
Is it both sinking or you have it a ground?
We were sinking, yes.
Is it a ground?
Is it a question?
Oh, we're not a ground.
We are in 17 foot of water.
We're in 31 foot of water.
All right, have to ask.
And what do you want to do?
Do you want to be told back?
I want to get this boat
unsank and towed back, yes.
Do you need the United States Coast Guard?
What?
Do you need the United States Coast Guard?
No, we do not need that.
All right.
He says he thinks about seven.
I'm guessing they're all under 18.
And I'm not trying to be rude.
He wants you guys to go out there
and unpumped the boat and then tow it in.
But that's all he can give me.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah, I just actually got off the phone with his grandpa,
so I'm guessing as the owner of the boat.
And he said that, yeah, Jerry, yeah.
And he said, I literally, I mean, I just hung up with him.
He said that they don't need any help right now, but if something changes, they'll call me back.
So I'm guessing that they may have figured it out.
Of course.
How far is the water coming up, sir?
Can you give me a description?
Ancles.
Hello?
Hey.
Yes, how far is the water coming up, sir?
It's coming up.
We're just thinking, I don't know.
Like, we're going down now.
Okay.
Now there's an enhanced version.
Here this is.
Hey, we're at the West tip of porn and our village stopped working.
We're going, we're sinking.
Can you all please come?
We have a membership.
Let the fuck up.
tip of what?
Hey,
we're saying,
please come.
Hey,
oh,
get the fuck up.
So they're saying that they think,
oh,
you killed him,
he's there,
what?
So this is,
like six seconds in.
Bro,
I'm gonna be honest with you,
man.
I don't hear a,
fucking thing.
Yeah, I can't hear a thing.
I can't hear a thing.
I can't hear it.
I hear it.
It's,
what I say, go listen to
it's a good to Flacco's video.
Flacco has broken
it down.
Let me, I want to watch.
here we go
one thing I like about Flaco
Flacco does his journalism
where he gives you the answer
like he don't just ask the questions
he tells you what he thinks nigga
or he tells you what
you know
here we go
this new evidence in his Nolan Wall's murder
is probably the biggest piece of confirmation
that something really really
really bad happened to Nolan
Warren who's one of Nolan Wells
supposed friends who wrote out to Horn Island
with him he did an interview and during his interview he revealed something that kind of lines up
everything else that we've heard since dead now what he says is a direct contradiction to everything
they want us to believe about nolan wells uh nolan was sitting by the boat with that katy girl
and my buddy yelled you know yelled for nolan nolan get it get on the boat we're leaving the
The boats having issues.
And, like, no, he didn't say that, but he was panicking.
Nolan, get the F on the boat.
Get on the boat.
And Nolan said, no, I'm staying out here.
I'm going to ride in with somebody else.
And it's not uncommon to hear, but it's not like my buddy asked him one time.
My buddy asked Nolan multiple times to get on the boat.
Nolan, get on the boat.
Get on the boat.
We're leaving.
If you're coming, you got to come now.
And Nolan made a decision to stay out on the island.
It's not like we just left him there.
Or my friends just left him there.
Nolan made a decision to stay on the island after my friends asked him multiple times and told him to get on the boat and he decided to stay.
And I heard the girl that he was with Katie had text somebody.
Yeah.
That she heard people yelling for Nolan to get on it.
Yeah, yeah.
And I have a picture of that.
She texts my buddy.
And the next day, everybody was panicking and everybody was texting Katie, you know, because she was.
obviously seen with Nolan the whole day at the island.
Katie said...
Okay, finally we know the girl's name Katie.
Just my buddy the next day and said, you know, this is the last time I saw him, you know,
he's really sweet.
But she also mentioned that the last time she saw Nolan was when my buddy was yelling at him to get all the boat.
They're telling this story as if, by the way, it confirms their story.
It's actually the contrary.
Now, he said this before the audio got released and the audio is horrific.
The audio confirms to me something really, really, really bad happened to Nolan.
But he said this as if this is a confirmation and not a debunking or contrary to his story.
If you're saying, hey, we left Nolan on an island.
We don't know what happened to him.
Yo, chat, I went and got an espresso shot.
That shit is working.
I was just feeling so tired.
I'm like, fuck, I look up at the time.
I'm like, two hours and 30 minutes.
They're about to like throw me off the boat like Nolan.
Not bad job, bad job.
I'm like, yo, you, chat about to kill me if I get off.
stream because I'm tired. I'm like, all right.
So I got a little bit more energy. I might have to go up and make, it's a double shot
express. So I'm about to go do another one. And our proof of this is we see Nolan cradle up
with Katie in his arm. It was a joke, nigger. God damn. Look at y'all.
Somebody said canceled. They got been canceled. And we was calling Nolan over to get on the
boat and Nolan said he's staying and Katie can't confirm this. And then Katie says,
according to you guys,
Katie confirmed to you guys,
the last time she's seen Nolan
was when y'all was calling him over.
Well, she wouldn't say that if Nolan stayed.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Run that again, Flacco.
Guys, the last time she seen Nolan
was when y'all was calling him over.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
So look like, remember, he's staying for this girl, Katie.
But she supposedly said how he stayed for me when the last time I seen him was when y'all was telling him to leave.
That's a problem.
That's a problem.
Well, she wouldn't say that if Nolan stayed.
You know, we got to give my man my man, my man, Flaqua badge, man.
You know, Flaco solving murders.
Your flaco solving everything, bro.
I fuck a flaco, man.
Last time Katie's seen Nolan was when y'all was calling him over, that would imply that he went over to you guys.
Katie even told the family that Nolan told her he was riding home with his friends and he had to go.
I love you out to. See, I get my humor, man. Y'all get my humor. It's a little ill time, but yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, I love y'all.
Very story confirms exactly what we suspected, which is Nolan went on that boat.
Now, y'all called Nolan over at 3 p.m. y'all was still on the island for an hour and 30 trying to figure out that boat situation.
So we don't know what took place in that hour and 30.
But clearly something is not sitting right.
And this audio,
this audio made me lose sleep last night, man.
Stopping, Flaco.
You did not lose those sleep, Flaco.
Stopping, Flacco.
We got Trappleros crying.
I think those were legit tears.
Flaco, cut it out, Flaco.
Flacco, cut it out, bro.
Only way Flaco was losing sleep was making another video.
Like, yo, yo, you, flaco, cut it out, bro.
Cut it out.
Now, the audio is of the 911,
one, not 911 call, but of the emergency call that Wyatt made
to the boat operators or to some type of subscription
that help people who were stranded on boats.
So Wyatt made a call.
Oh, so it wasn't 911.
It's like AAA for boats then.
Oh, that's what makes sense.
It's AAA for boats.
And the operator picks up, and my God,
you start to hear something very,
very dark and grim from the beginning.
Yo, Flacco's so good.
Like, he'll gas it up, bro.
Like, I can't hear shit.
What?
You know, dude, niggas got, like, a little bit better ears, or I got that, you know what I mean,
that new earwax in my shit, pause.
Oh, okay, okay, I did kind of hear that.
I did kind of hear that.
Yeah.
I don't know if it says he's dead or it's dead?
Yeah, I did hear dead.
I did hear dead. I got to be honest.
Yeah, I feel like I heard that. I feel like I heard that.
I feel like I heard that chat.
Right?
I feel like it's not clear, but I feel like that last he's dead or it's dead.
It could be it's dead.
Remember, they're panicking over the boat.
So it kind of could make sense for them to be talking about the boat, right?
You know, also something was malfunctioned.
It's supposedly a pump to pump water off of the boat.
Right.
So there's, it looks like there's water that is.
somehow gotten into the boat or like, you know, the ground of the boat.
And in order to not sink, there usually is a pump that works.
That will just pump it over.
By the way, I forgot what the name of it.
Name.
It's called a bill something.
A bill pump?
What is it called?
Yeah, a bilge pump.
I'll kind of show you what that does.
What exactly is a bilge pump?
You'll learn about it quickly with me here.
Hey, they're right from Bridge Marina.
Simple terms, but I thought it helped describe it,
an automatic bilge pump or a bilge pump.
Well, I'm in the hull of this boat here,
and I'm just pulling out my little cover plate
that access is the actual very bottom of the hull.
Now, I'll explain it even quicker than he's going to do it.
Essentially, if water ever gets in, like,
because of how boats float,
that you need a vacuum that's kind of even beneath, like, you know,
even the surface.
and it creates some buoyancy.
If water gets in there, the boat mechanism is going to fail.
So they usually have a pump there to pump water out, right?
And when you hear that water is now taken onto the vessel,
you think that the pump should activate and work.
But if the pump is dead, and that's why we've got to remember terminology now,
like, would it be normal to say, hey, it's dead in terms of the pump is dead?
or maybe we're referring to the the the boat itself.
I don't think the boat was dead because clearly, you know,
I don't think they got towed.
But maybe that's what they were talking about.
But I think this is what they believe malfunctioned.
Let me let him finish.
Or I guess the top of it, but my bilge area.
And in here I have my automatic bilge pump.
And most folks will have a bilge pump, especially a fiberglass.
They should have an automatic bilge pump.
The village pump.
Yeah.
Automatic bilge pump was going to, it's going to,
to kind of have like a float as soon as it detects water and it rises, the pump is going to
just activate and just pump the water out, right?
Like it's, it's, you know, again, I don't know too much about boats, but that makes sense.
If we're thinking about just modern technology, how boats work, maybe a malfunction, you don't
want a bunch of sinking boats, you have these pumps that at least it could give you some
time that that boat could get back to shore or at least get back to safety.
You get what I'm saying?
So I believe this was the failing mechanism.
Takes any water that's found in here and pumps it overboard.
Somebody said W. Spin Act.
No, it's not a spin.
It's not a spin.
I'm going off literally hearing what they said was happening.
They said the boat is taking on water.
If the boat is taking on water, it kind of tells you that that pump isn't working.
I'm not saying that's what captured on the audio.
Maybe it's actually captured on audio.
exactly what y'all think it is but we we have to have a little bit more of a nuanced conversation
bro like if you just want me to say yo now that's them saying yo throw his body overboard like
if that makes y'all feel better cool but like bro this is the academy over here bro we're going
at least think this through a little bit bro okay we're not this is not like conspiracy theory
101 um of course something crazy could have happened but we want to be a little bit more educated
high IQ while we're trying to discuss it right so uh just give me 3 3rd
30 more seconds, this will be done and then we get back to Flacco video.
If we're manually, you'd have to turn a switch on. This one is automatic. So that means it
automatically will push the water out of here. And folks ask how that works.
You can see this little piece right here. It's a float. And water builds up in the hull,
and it lifts that float up. And you hear that it turns the motor on. And it pumps the water
out from the hull. And then when the water drops down, the float falls down and turns off.
So it's automatic and that I don't need to worry about it. The challenge folks run into it,
is there will be residual water in here.
There is probably that much water sitting in this hull
because that pump can't suck it off the bottom of the boat,
nor is it necessary further enough back
that it can get all that water.
And that's normal.
It's not the end of the world.
The boat's not sinking.
It just has a little water in it.
Thanks for watching.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
So now you understand
why maybe this boat was malfunctioning.
The pump probably wasn't working.
Also, remember, as per the audio,
they said we call the grandfather of the person
with the bow and they said no it's fine it looks like this got to be a problem that they have seen
before if you're telling the assistants right like the assistants and saying hey y'all need us do we
need to come out there and be like no they'll be fine something tells me that the owner of the boat
who's like the father or grandfather of one of these kids knows that oh okay yeah we've been having
problem with this pump nothing too crazy but you know whatever you we don't need to be told or
it's not an emergency, right?
Now, I'm not saying that means Nolan didn't get murdered, okay?
Because I think there's some people who are watching me doing these updates,
and they really, it's one or zero.
They're really analog with this.
So like, well, it's either he completely got murdered or, no.
We're trying to explain things in a way that makes sense
that we could figure out a obvious conclusion
or the conclusion that makes sense,
or at least we're thinking along the right path to figure out what happened.
Okay, so that was probably the source of the malfunction.
So we're going to put it in context with this video, with the quote unquote enhanced audio.
They call the AAA of boats and they basically say, hey, we're having some issues.
Now, we hear some stuff in the background.
I'm confirming that I kind of hear, I hear something like dead, right?
I hear something like dead.
I'm not going to lie.
However, I'm going to also open my mind to say that also could have meant they're talking about the pump or the boat.
But they could, yes, they could be talking about Nolan as well, right?
We're going to have to use more information to figure out what the hell they're talking about.
That's all.
Let's keep it off.
They don't realize that AI operator already started recording because they believe they're waiting for somebody to pick up.
They believe they're on hold waiting for a human person to come in a system.
So they're talking freely waiting for this human.
The AI operator is recording everything.
So that's where you hear he's dead.
Oh, my God, he's dead.
Chat.
There's something here.
And I don't want to explain this phenomenon.
I don't know the name for it.
So I'm going to sound like an amateur explaining it.
You know when we first heard the audio?
This is how the brain works.
When the first heard the audio, it sounds like a jumbled mess.
the thing is the brain is a very rational supercomputer when you're told to look for something even in chaos and you're given it the more i don't know if it's happening to you but it's happening to me the more i listen to the audio the clearer it becomes because my mind is already saying oh i'm reading the transcript the more i listen to it oh okay of course it's saying that it's like confirmation bias in a sense if that makes sense if that makes sense
any sense to you. So again,
not saying it doesn't say, and again,
I keep having to give disclaimers because
we have some probably
lesser IQ people in here. But the
reality of this is, we want
to be just even
killed on what's going on.
I am hearing something like it
is dead, but the more I play it, it sounds
hella clear now. Like in my mind,
like the more I play it, I'm like, oh shit, of course.
But you should realize
that you're a little bit clouded
by the fact that you have a caption
and you're listening now
for that.
Waiting for a human person to come
in a system. So they're talking
freely waiting for this human. The AI
operator is recording everything.
So that's where you hear he's dead. Oh my
God, he's dead.
Also,
you know,
I want to be, we should also be
clear. I know
we're hearing that, oh,
this is panic and chaos.
These are a bunch of kids.
And unless you're out telling me these are trained killers.
I don't even think, you'd think a girl is as black.
Oh, he dead?
They're screaming going on.
I would think.
I would think.
Oh, shit.
Oh, my God, you killed.
I would think it would be a little bit more hectic than that.
This kind of seems like, it comes across to me like a boat problem.
Like, they're not like freaking out like that's a dead body.
Have y'all seen a dead body?
Have y'all ever thought your friend killed somebody?
Like, nobody's screaming?
I'm just adding a little nuance here.
Like, if you think that that's the demeanor of people saying, oh, he's dead?
Okay, these got to be killers then.
This got to be killers, right?
Like, oh, everybody's just chill?
Oh, you dead?
I bet.
Cool.
Say less.
I know he dead.
Cool.
Fuck it.
Yo, pass me.
You, pass me of course.
Like, huh?
Like, I would imagine a little bit more, a little bit more his, and also here's the thing.
This he dead thing is like, nobody's trying to do nothing.
It's like, we're just like, okay, you made sure he's dead?
I don't know.
Again, again, the more I listen to it, I do feel like he's saying these things.
Okay, okay, hold on now.
Okay.
Are we hearing the Nolan thing?
I need you guys to spam it up.
Like, yes, you're hearing it.
Be like, tell me if my ears are lying.
me because remember visually I'm looking at the words my ears and my brain is
auto-correcting what the sounds are it's like put it like this you ever hear that
retarded nigga little baby speaks niggas half the time I don't know what he's saying
but if I read the lyrics nigga it makes it's it's clear you get what I'm saying
like half the time like what the fuck is this retarded Atlanta nigga talking about I read the
lyrics and I'm like oh of course that's what he said that's you know I mean so
like you reading what he's supposedly saying your ears and brain will connect it you get what I'm
saying so you tell me if that's what we're hearing hmm that's going to be important right there
detail assistant so vicky i don't know if that says no nolan but
see tell us um hmm they were not aware that was already being recorded so they get to speaking
the operator picks up now everything changed.
Now, this is where I think I deviate a little bit from,
by the way, I love Flocko, you know,
Flauco is really entertaining.
And I think what he does is really good because, you know,
he has his own lane of,
it's kind of like he's going to lead you down a path.
And I've seen him do it with a bunch of other stuff as well.
I hope if he's ever, like, wrong,
he'll double back and black, you know, we got that one wrong.
Otherwise, he's headed towards.
straight Alice Jonesville. I'm gonna be honest with you.
Like, he, like, this thing is solves the murder like first day.
Like, first day he solves the murder.
And, and sometimes you can be wrong.
So, okay.
All right.
All right.
All right.
I'm kind of flowing.
I'm kind of following him, though.
It changes.
Everything changes.
So they're panicking.
Oh, I was going to say I deviate from his thinking because he says they're speaking freely.
I mean, we kind of still hear background noise.
He kind of makes it seem like this is a concerted effort.
Like, this is almost a stage thing, be like, oh, no, no, I'm on the phone.
Don't mention the murder.
Stop.
It kind of feels like everybody's just kind of doing their own thing.
But I could be wrong.
But I got, no, no, no, no.
The operator, everybody on mute.
But they still let a couple things slip through.
Now, what proceeds to follow is one of the strange.
cause I've ever seen in life.
This is one of the strangest cause I've ever witnessed in life.
What?
You've never seen anything stranger than this before.
We're at the West tip of porn and our village stopped working.
We're going, we're sinking.
Can you all please come?
We have a membership.
Okay.
Maybe my job is to play a little bit counter to what Flacco is saying.
and again, I'm not defending the white people.
It's not about that.
If you just said that they're saying,
number one, the boat is acting up.
Number two, the guy is dead.
Be like, oh shit, is he dead?
So I'm guessing the guy is somewhere close by being dead.
Why do you call authorities or help to say,
pull up here where the dead kid is?
We got, listen, I know what y'all wanted to be.
but we got to use our brain.
You don't call the cops and be like,
yo, cops, because y'all come here,
if y'all trying to cover up the murder,
you don't be like, yo,
hey, cops, hey, we're at 15 West Elm Street
because you guys come over here,
like our car won't start.
Somebody said they canceled?
All right.
All right, of course.
How far is the word coming up, sir?
Can you give me...
Hold on.
Is it wake the fuck up?
Our village post, softwa.
working we're going. Oh yeah, yeah. And just like I said, it's the bilge pump. So, so whoever that person is knows about boats. I'm guessing it's his pops or his grandpa who owns a boat because he says and identifies the actual technical problem. Our bilge pump does not work, which means the boat is taken on some water that could compromise the buoyancy. All right? Let's hear what this other person says in the background.
So, West tip of horn and our village pump stopped working, we're going, we're sinking.
Can you all please come?
We have a membership.
Okay, we have a membership to this AAA thing.
You guys fix our stuff or help us out.
Our pump doesn't work.
Help us now, right?
All right, of course.
How far is the word coming up, sir?
Now, when I first heard this fully without this caption, I never heard.
wake the fuck up.
But even then,
why would you, if y'all say
there's a dead guy there,
you're shouting at the dead guy,
wake the fuck up?
But that could be true.
Maybe you think he's unconscious
and they're trying to like,
you know, they're trying to like,
you know, wake up type shit, whatever.
What I heard when it was in regular speed,
uninterrupted, no caption,
I heard, shut the fuck up.
And I took that to be,
there is people talking
and they're, this guy's on the phone
trying to get help,
shut the fuck up.
That's what I heard.
That's what I heard, okay?
Now again, I'm,
I think my brain is moving
with a different type of frequency
that many people's brains
because I'm not trying to make it something
that I want it to be.
I'm just trying to evaluate whatever it is.
But I didn't hear wake the fuck up.
I heard shut the fuck up.
Am I wrong?
Am I wrong?
uh our village
stopped working we're going
we're sinking can y'all please come we have a membership
oh right of course
how far is the word
yes it says shut up he didn't say wake up
let's play it uninterrupted here
you see you hear people
chirping there's a lot of people talking about
we're going
we're sinking can y'all please come
we have a membership
That sounds shut up.
That doesn't sound like wake up.
I'm sorry.
That sounds like shut up.
Am I wrong?
Hey on.
Get the fuck up.
Okay.
Yeah, that sounds, even the tone of it sounds like you're scolding a bunch of people who are chatting.
It doesn't sound like you're trying to revive someone who might be deceased or unconscious.
it sounds like you're saying
shut the fuck up.
It's like you've ever been at a house party
and the cops pull up
and they try and be like
everybody keep quiet real quick
you know what I mean
because it's a noise complaint
it's the 15th one from the neighbor
because this neighbor
next door is a bitch
and the cops come
and you know you got way too
with people in the crib
trust me I've been to eat you a lot of house parties
and you be like everybody
and you go like shh
and people still talking
and usually the frat nigga
usually be like
shut up
shut the fuck up
all right now is everybody quiet
that's what it sounds like to me
but maybe I'm naive
I don't know. All right, let's keep it going.
Coming up, sir. Can you give me a description?
Angles?
Hello?
Also, the background noise diminishes.
That's why I think it's shut up.
Yes. How far is the water coming up, sir?
It's coming up. We're just thinking, I don't know.
Like, we're going down there.
All right, well, let's get you going.
Membership number or full number listed on their account, sir.
I don't know if that number.
It's either Jerry Adkerson.
I think it's Jerry Adkerson.
Try that.
All right.
I know we have a membership like guarantee.
Yo, you know what's so funny?
This is every emergency fucking thing in the world.
You're about to die.
And rather than say, we're coming right now, hey, let's look up your account to make sure if we should help you help you a fuck nigga ass.
You know what I mean?
Basically, you have a membership?
Bro, the water's at our knee.
We're about to drown.
Hey, do you remember your membership number?
Okay, what address could we look up?
Send help now.
Yeah, you go to the emergency room.
My hand is gone.
Hey, do you have insurance?
Do you have your insurance car with you?
What?
This is how all of these places work, bro.
You're in a real emergency.
They ask for some stupid shit.
Right?
Like, oh, we got to confirm.
the membership first before we even
give a fuck about you possibly dying.
All right, unless you have a membership
number or anything, it's okay.
I'll get you over to the captain.
What's the best phone number to reach you at?
Reach me at two.
Okay.
They mute out the number clearly.
All right.
And is everybody on board and good health otherwise?
Yeah.
Yeah.
How many is?
Somebody says, I thought he was,
and then it just like drowns out.
So we don't know what that mean.
I could have 20,000 different theories.
Y'all leaving the three, what do you think that meant?
This is where it starts to get really strange.
The operator begins to ask very direct questions,
and they begin to act like they don't know what she's saying.
They begin to half answer questions that are very convenient.
Like, for example, she says, yo, is everybody on the boat and in good health?
He says, yeah, everybody on the boat.
Okay, what about the good health for it?
But that's not even the strangest part.
It's about to get really, really weird.
All right.
Do you need the United States Coast Guard?
What?
Do you need the United States Coast Guard?
No, we do not need that.
All right.
These aren't even the weird parts I'm talking about.
You're going to hear the weird parts shortly.
But even with this, somebody is saying check his chest.
After we heard, somebody says, yo, he's dead.
No one.
Wait, check his chest.
What?
The weird parts I'm talking about.
Wait, hold on.
Really, really weird.
All right.
Do you need the United States Coast Guard?
What?
Do you need the United States Coast Guard?
Wyatt?
No, we do not need that.
All right.
Check his chest.
Okay.
These aren't even the weird parts I'm talking about.
You're going to hear the weird parts shortly.
But even with this,
somebody is saying check his chest.
After we heard, somebody says,
yo he's dead. Nolan, oh my God, Nolan, check his chest. The lady says, y'all want the Coast Guard?
No, absolutely. No, no, no, no, no. That was like the, that was the most hard. No, no Coast Guard.
Why don't you want the Coast Guard out? And you're about to hear, like, the people that they wanted to come out, they're unavailable.
Okay. All right. I'm, you know, I'm in conspiracy land at this point.
check his chest for what?
Or do they think that, oh, why is he not breathing?
I don't know.
The next Bex people are the Coast Guards,
but they must rather drown than half the Coast Guards come out
because the people they want to come out don't really have authority in, like in...
Okay, I hate to play devil's advocate.
Number one, these people, this kid who knows what a bilge pump is
clearly knows the problem with the boat.
Also is basically saying you have a flat tire.
Do you want the cops to come?
Does that make sense?
They're under 18, they're under 21.
They're clearly drinking, right?
Why would you, if y'all are all drinking, y'all catch a flat tire, y'all call up AAA.
They're like, hey, you want us to send the police?
No, we're fucking drinking.
No.
Don't send the cops.
Just send the shit to fix our problem.
That's it.
These are kids.
Like, they went to the island to all get drunk.
So I'm using that brain.
But again, there's going to be a portion of my audience that's going to look at it.
Be like, you'll just be naive.
They clearly killed him.
That's why they don't want.
If you have a bilge pump problem, you wouldn't call the Coast Guard.
Okay?
I'm just being honest.
If you have a problem with the, they clearly know about the boat that this one kid does, that he knows exactly what's wrong.
You don't say, hey, my tire blew out, send the cops.
Does that make sense?
The Coast Guard is the police.
Like in anything, the, the coast guard is going to show up.
The Coast Guard is going to probably board the vessel.
Probably is going to see that they have alcohol there.
There's no adult there.
That their party's done.
They're getting in trouble.
The parents are probably going to get in trouble.
But if you want to think that, oh, no, it's not because of that.
No, you don't call the Coast Guard because somebody's dead on the boat.
Why would you, if you have a body in the trunk of its fucking car.
and you blow your tire out, do you call AAA?
No, you don't.
You don't call AAA with a body in the trunk.
Yeah, of course you don't call the cops either,
but you don't call AAA.
If y'all are saying, yo, check his chest.
Y'all don't be like,
don't call the cops, but call the guys to help us,
like, fix the boat that we could take the body.
So either way, to me, I'm like, it's hard for me to believe.
The Coast Guards are dimmed at law enforcement.
The Coast guards will come out.
The Coast Guards are law enforcement.
And get to investigate and get to prowling around.
No, why don't you want the Coast Guards out?
If the people who are supposed to assist you...
Somebody said, oh, we already solved this?
Who said that?
Thank you for the donation.
Let me open this so that I could read it.
Can't even come up.
But at the end, you get to hear they call for no reason, right?
Because his grandfather would admit, hey, we don't need help anymore.
Sorry.
So they wasted about 14 or 15.
minutes on that phone call, I think trying to establish an alibi, because towards the end of the phone call, after they were begging for help, the grandfather says, oh, no, they don't need help. Don't send nobody.
It looks like you're on Horn Island, correct?
Are you on Horn Island?
Yeah.
All right.
Is the both sinking or you have it aground?
We are sinking, yes.
What?
Someone said, we already saw this.
Bart killed him?
Who's Bart?
What the fuck?
What?
It's a Tisa.
Hells have the best audio?
I mean, sure.
You could go watch that.
Let's see.
Damn, everybody's...
Where's the audio?
Jesus.
Is it this?
I don't know.
You know, some of these people look like they're off the deep end, bro.
Like, yo, I gotta be honest, bro.
Yo, I'm not trying to hit some of these motherfuckers with the Charlest, bro.
Like, because, you know, the Charlottomain, bro?
Like, because, you know, the Charlesteman?
be like, yo, you're losing it.
Nah, no, no, no, I ain't trying to do that.
All right, let's stick with Flacco.
Flacco is trusted.
I trust Flacco.
Is it a ground?
Is the question?
Oh, we're not a ground.
Go back to the other lady.
Bro, like, what is...
Okay, send me where I could find whatever you want me to play of her.
I don't know.
I don't lie.
Like, her eyes is bulging.
Like, I don't know.
She kind of look a little off, bro.
I'm going to be honest with you.
This chick right here?
Yo, I'm going to be honest with you, bro.
Like, where's the audio, bro?
Is it this?
Expert cleaned up the what?
Which one is it, chat?
Is it, all right.
I'll sift through this, hold on.
I'll sift through this.
Freedom of the information act.
Die finally made a Facebook burner account, you know.
Also, for all y'all on Facebook,
this idea how popular it was on Facebook.
And my girlfriend was telling me how good the ad revenue.
Oh, y'all.
Yeah.
All right, man.
Too much chatting, man.
Too much blood clod chatting, you know?
So somebody named Janita Brantley, released.
Okay.
Let's see.
All right, chatty.
Y'all got me going down this rabbit hole.
Nick, it ain't this what we just played?
Newly.
Okay, here.
Okay.
So this is from Janetta Brantley may have broken his case wide open.
Let's hear.
Wait, hold on.
They actually say can we cover it?
My bad, chat.
The first words is, can we cover it up?
Verbatim?
Like, you know, can we cover it up?
Nah, this is insane.
Nah, this is insane, chat.
Oh, no, hold on, hold on.
No, that being the first words of the movie is crazy.
Can we cover it up? Hold on. Let me hear this.
Hey, we're at the West tip of porn.
Not going to lie, it definitely sounds clearer here.
Now, I hate to add nuance because I feel like y'all don't want to hear nuance.
I still don't think it says, can we cover it up?
But I'll go with that narrative.
Remember if water is coming into the boat, maybe they're thinking it's a whole.
I don't know.
Hey, we're at the West tip of porn.
and our village
stopped working.
We're sinking.
Can you all please come?
We have a membership.
Let the fuck up.
This first video, I'm sharing
only approximately 37 seconds of the call.
I originally intended to continue much further,
but once I separated the dispatcher from the boat
and started concentrating exclusively on the background dialogue,
what I believed I was hearing became
extremely difficult for me to
process emotionally.
And I needed to take a mental break.
Yo,
your child, my bad for laugh.
So you're in the middle
of breaking open the case that you take a
mental break and make a video?
Y'all has this?
Yo, y'all got to stop, bro.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
So she says she's in the middle of, like,
breaking open this fucking case.
She's hearing all the type of things.
This is the cover-up of the cover-ups.
and she takes a fucking mental break and doesn't like and doesn't finish breaking and separating the shit
yo come on brough
yo come on dog
yo chat bro are y'all serious
yo chat bro she's in the middle of breaking open the case
and she's like you know what i almost solve the crime but
give me a second i just need to take a mental break let me make a video about
me taking a mental. Did she ever get back to it?
I play this. I want to quickly explain what I did, what you're looking at on the screen,
and why I chose to approach this audio the way that I did. As a professional audio engineer
with experience and dialogue editing, dialogue, cleanup, sound design, and post-production,
I decided to work on that C-toe call using traditional audio processing techniques
rather than relying on any AI voice separation or AI enhancement.
My goal was pretty much to preserve as much of the original recording as possible
while making the quieter.
Hey, we're at the West Tip of Horn.
Let me make a video about the mental break is insane.
I'll play the.
Before I play this, I want to quickly explain what I did.
Oh, okay.
So while on the mental break, wait, hold on, man, this is crazy, bro.
While on the mental break, she got time to make some TikToks.
All right.
I mean, that's usually what I do when I take a mental break because I feel like I just heard a cover up and I'm traumatizing.
Okay, that's cool.
Aki
Boho
I'm pretty much providing it as a listening reference.
Okay.
Let's go to her TikTok.
Let's go to her TikTok.
Let's give it reviews.
TikTok.com at
Akibono
893.
Is this it?
Okay.
All right.
Here we go.
The mental break is here.
Okay.
So before I play this,
I want to quickly explain
what I did, what you're looking at on the screen, and why I chose to approach this audio the way that I did.
As a professional audio engineer with experience in dialogue editing, dialogue, cleanup,
sound design, and post-production, I decided to work on that C-toe call using traditional audio
processing techniques rather than relying on any AI voice separation or AI enhancement.
My goal was pretty much to preserve as much of the original recording as possible while making the quieter dialogue and background audio easier to hear.
So I basically used techniques such as subtractive EQ, compression, gain adjustments, noise frequency, I mean noise reduction, frequency isolation, and other traditional processing methods.
So what I did was I separated Vicky, the C-toe dispatcher from Warren and the audio originating from the boat so that I can concentrate more closely on what was happening behind and around Warren, pretty much on the boat.
And I specifically chose not to rely on AI because aggressive AI enhancements and voice isolation tools can sometimes introduce artifacts and distort the speech or create ambiguity around the sounds that were originally present.
And for something this serious, I wanted my processing to remain as conservative as possible.
You'll also notice time code and dialogue written on the side of the screen and pop up during each segment.
That dialogue represents what I personally hear as an audio engineer while processing and repeatedly reviewing these sections.
I'm pretty much providing it as a listening reference, not as a declaration that my interpretation is the only possible interpretation.
and that's important.
I want you to listen for yourself,
use headphones if you have them,
listen closely, and decide
with your own ears what you believe is being
said. You can also return
to the original unprocessed
recording and compare directly with
what you're hearing here.
You'll also notice
that my time code may not
match the regular timestamp on the original
uploaded video. And that's
because I'm working inside a professional
post-production timeline
a digital audio workstation, basically using
simply time code, which in film that's displayed in hours,
minutes, seconds, and frames.
Film and TV timelines are completely different from time stamps that you see
when you're watching regular videos or when you're watching a movie and you hit pause.
So basically the time code on the screen is there to identify the precise location within
my working session, not to represent the elapsed timestamp displayed by the original video
player. And I hope that makes sense. For this first video, I'm sharing only approximately 37 seconds
of the call. I originally intended to continue much further, but once I separated the dispatcher
from the boat and started concentrating exclusively on the background dialogue,
what I believed I was hearing became extremely difficult for me to process emotionally,
and I needed to take a mental break.
Make a four-minute video about to.
Yo, nah, this shit is crazy, bro.
But I wanted to release this portion because some of the details.
How are you going to do half the job and be like, yo, I need a mental break, bro?
That stood out most to me occurred very early in the call, like right at the top of the call.
And so I'm going to let the audio play.
Read my transcription if you want a reference, but don't allow it to determine what you hear.
I want you to listen first, listen again, compare it with the original recording,
and then judge it with your own ears.
I hope this breakdown helps.
Yo, chat, her free trial ended, bro.
Like, that's what it is, nigga.
She was on the little AI programs, bro.
You only give you 30 seconds.
Nigger after that, you got to pay for the trial, bro.
Let's keep it a beat, bro.
You got to pay for the trial.
I'm like, yo, you got to put your credit card in, bro.
Yeah, you got to put your credit card in this bitch.
Like, yo, stop playing.
Oh, nah.
All right, all right.
Somebody told me they said,
Y'all got to go watch Chris.
Chris who?
No, no.
Chronicle Speaks.
Chronicle Speaks supposedly got the best audio.
All right, I bet.
I get it.
Everybody got the best audio.
Let's go to this one.
Let's go to this one.
This is the audio, newly isolated.
Now, many of you have had questions about the scene.
This is crazy, Chad.
Once again, the dispatcher.
I don't know.
It stopped working.
Here we go.
Focus.
more clearly on the background conversation.
This audio works best if you use headphones.
Wait, one audio says cover it up.
This one says cover his eyes.
Like, yo, you got to stop, bro.
Yo, y'all got to leave this to the professionals, bro.
I'm sorry, I don't even mean to laugh.
Y'all got to leave this to the professionals, bro.
One audio says cover it up.
The other one says cover his eyes.
Yo, what are y'all are your hair and bro?
Yo, this shit is kind of goofy, bro.
Y'all got to leave it to professionals, dog.
I hang on capuchel.
Best if you use headphones.
Hey, we're at the O.
Oh, this is what we're here.
Who's Bart?
Yo, I'm going to laugh.
Who's Bart, bro?
Hey, that's what I want to identify.
When we hear the thing that they're saying is when he says,
Nolan, that does seem like you're trying to say someone's name.
I'm not going to lie.
The tonality does sound like that.
Nolan don't die?
Hey, we're at the West tip of porn.
And our village stopped working.
We're sinking.
Can y'all please come?
We have a membership.
Oh, get the fuck up.
Yo, I'll tell you how this, man.
Yo, y'all are working hard to try to be Candace Owens of Charlie Kirk, man.
Listen, respectfully, we love Nolan.
Rest and peace, Nolan, but he's not Charlie Curt.
Like, we're not going to go through that many conspiracy theories, all right?
We're going to figure this motherfucker out in 60 days.
And if they did do that shit, we're going to frime.
But bro.
What'd you say?
Hey.
Is it what?
What the fuck up?
For shit.
Coach stopped working.
We're going.
We're sinking.
Can you all please come?
We have a membership.
Oh, let's the fuck up.
Oh, now it's not.
It's get up.
Bart.
Who the fuck is Bart?
What did you say?
Hey.
It's coming up.
We're just thinking, I don't know.
Like, we're just, we're going down there.
I don't know the phone number.
It's either, I think it's, try that.
I know we have a membership, like, guaranteed.
I don't have the tag on here.
You got ripped off.
Reach me at two.
By the way, let me add one obvious thing, and I thought the sound engineer,
or the audio engineer was going to mention this.
Let me tell you something about phone calls,
especially when you call from a cellular device.
The iPhone does it,
and it's trying to optimize your call.
There's something called, like, so in audio, right,
I'm not an audio engineer, but I've really,
you probably like, you sound horrible with all your mic,
but I have engineered my own songs.
Anyway, here's the thing.
There's a threshold in the gate.
And to make it very simple, like, for example, even this mic, this mic is connected to, it gets routed through.
I don't want to, like, bore you with too much details, but it gets routed through because this is actually a music studio.
And there's a whole, like, set up there.
And it's controlled by, like, these processors and also, like, hardware that's doing it.
The simple thing about microphones and noise, speech or even.
your phone does this.
In order to make a call clearer,
just like a, you know Apple headphones,
like it'll turn off the outside noise?
What they do is they inverse,
it's like I'm trying to explain audio to you.
If you're wondering how noise can't sound
headphones work,
basically there's a speaker that listens to the noise
and what happens to sound,
if you inverse it, there is no sound.
So sound waves go up and down.
If you inverse it at the same speed, there is silence.
Okay?
It's complete silence.
That's the technology using noise cancelling headphones.
Okay?
All right.
What does this matter with what this is and what I'm talking about?
Because even this mic, there's what's something called a gate.
So, for example, if someone is talking, this is, um,
What is it? Is it already 320?
Probably is.
If someone's talking over there, even if I could hear them with my ear,
they most likely won't be heard on this type of mic.
These type of mics are broadcast mics.
Okay?
They're actually meant to, you know, there's something called a gate.
So if noise doesn't rise above the decibel for the gate,
it doesn't even make a sound.
Okay?
Why am I saying that?
How does it connect to this?
Your phone does that too.
the reason why you're hearing voices that are kind of going in and out is that and this is what
I'm saying about everybody transcribing it you're here part you're here partiality of words
you're not hearing straight conversation other than the only thing iPhones work like this too
when you're talking it tries to drown out background noise so the background noise that you're
hearing it doesn't use noise canceling in a sense because actually you're speaking you're
not listening, but it does something where if it tries to isolate it, where if those background
noise aren't loud enough, it will get truncated and the only thing that comes through is that
main voice that's triggering the gate. So I know, I just said a whole bunch of stuff,
you guys have said whatever, like, but trust me on this. What you're hearing is not the complete
conversations. Now, that's not going to go well with no one's narrative. You're not hearing fully
what's being said.
You're hearing what they have an iPhone.
They clearly have an iPhone.
The iPhone is going to basically background noise
never goes through really clearly.
It's going to be kind of truncated at different parts.
So what you think you're hearing,
and if there was an actual microphone or it's a recording device,
like I don't know, GoPro or whatever,
or ring camera there,
you would hear a whole different conversation most likely.
So I'm trying to tell y'all, like for everyone who thinks this call is a smoking gun,
no matter what they wrote on that screen, in my opinion, is probably not the full conversations that was happening there.
I'm telling you, try this yourself.
Call your homie, be at a house party and call your homie.
And have your homie record that call.
And then there should be random conversation around you.
Ask your homie what everybody was talking about.
They will never know.
going to be truncated. Truncated means it cuts off this piece of, of this sentence by this person.
They're in the background. Do you understand that? Like, it's pretty simple. So this is why kind of also
I'm laughing at all these transcriptions because even how they're transcribing it is the most salacious
things. Oh, he's dead. Wake up. Conversations usually sometimes are a little bit much more than that.
that maybe you can't all understand according to the narrative that we are trying to either push or trying to seek.
So I'm telling you why the audio, that even if they try to fix that audio, the way the audio was transmitted already by the iPhone is irreparable.
You can't get that piece of audio back.
You get what I'm saying?
But who cares about it?
You know, who cares about the goddamn, you know, reality when a good old conspiracy theory could make us a lot of money, right?
I fuck it.
They killed them.
What?
Yeah.
Yeah, everybody's off the way.
What?
Quiet.
No, we do not need that.
Okay.
And that's what they did.
That's what they did to the,
they took the dispatcher's voice and they inversed it.
That's why we're not hearing a dispatcher now, right?
Let me go look.
Oh, I never go look.
heard this let me go look all right well are all right are you ready
north okay so he's giving directions but
46772 sorry what do you send you yeah what what do you send you yeah what we do not
We'll watch the Nancy Grace thing after.
I haven't seen any of these things, by the way.
Okay, McCornets are 30 degrees by 14.684 north.
And then west by 88 degrees by 46.7.9.
Yes, we were at Horn Island.
Yes.
We were sinking, yes.
Oh, we're in autograph.
We are in 17 foot of water.
We're in 31 foot of water.
I want to get this boat
On sank and towed back yes
And tow it to Ocean Springs Harbor or Osh or four by you on
This kid who's on the phone is proficient with boats
He knows how to read you know obviously the you know the meters or whatever like the
You know the displays or whatever he knows how deep the water is
He knows you know this is 31 feet of water we're in
he knows quite a few
things
and I think he has a calm demeanor
No there's no choice
Hey four is
Try to jump in and pull the plug
While you're going
They got out of gear
Hello
Take out of gear
Okay what's going on what's up
There is zero adult on board
No
nobody here is over the age of 21
hello
there's lots of people breathing on the boat
like seven
22 30
yes we have white jackets
available
a tritin 22 foot offshore
12th
22 foot triton offshore
sea flight hole
okay yeah he knows
the making model of the
uh the boat
okay thank you
I reached out to Ben Crump and also to miss
pretty calm call if you ask me
at least by the guy who's on the phone
all right let me go to Nancy Grace
you guys have been asking me to play
okay here we go
breaking news tonight in the
Nolan Wells investigation
enhanced distress
call audio
bombshell
good evening I'm Nancy Grace
this is crime stories. I want to thank you for being with us.
She looked bad shit crazy. He was face down on the beach right at the water's edge.
If he was sent face down, that also doesn't make sense to me. He's face down wouldn't flood
pool just by nature of gravity this way. So right now, we've got a lot of questions,
but as the second doctor says, this is all still pending investigation. If this were your child,
Wouldn't you want to know what happened?
Detail assistant, Vicki speaking. How can I help you?
Hey, we're at the West tip of porn and our village pump stopped working. We're going, we're sinking.
Can you all please come? We have a membership.
All right, of course. How far is the work coming up, sir? Can you give me a description?
ankles?
Hello?
Is this the enhanced one again?
Yes, how far is the water coming up, sir?
It's coming up.
We're just thinking, I don't know, like we're going down there.
What did we just hear?
What was that?
One more time, please.
Detail assistant, Vicki speaking.
How can I help you?
Hey, we're at the west tip of corn, and our village pump stopped working.
We're sinking.
Can you all please come?
We have a membership.
All right, of course.
How far is the water coming up, sir?
Can you give me a description?
Incles?
Hello?
Hey.
Yes, how far is the water coming up, sir?
It's coming up.
We're just thinking.
I don't know.
Like, we're going down now.
straight out to investigative reporter crime stories
Dave Mack
did you just hear
what I heard
now this has been transcribed
and this is the C-toe
dispatch call
because Dave when I first heard this
I thought has this been doctored
is this real
where's this coming from Dave
Nancy this is coming from
the from Mississippi
from the actual official.
Okay, when we get into the Mississippi
Fish and Wildlife and the Reserve,
putting this out for the public,
this is not like from, you know,
Dave Max recording.
This is an official recording, Nancy,
that is being issued.
And it's shocking when you listen to this call for a toe,
for the seetoe.
Going further into it, Nancy,
you're picking apart all of the,
different voices that can be heard on this one phone call trying to determine what is really
taking place on this boat that is allegedly sitting in 31 feet of water, a depth of 31 feet.
And a village pump not working, claiming they're sinking and calling for help.
And yet in the background, are we really hearing all of this other activity?
Guys, this was released from the MDMR, the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources.
Alexis Terezchuk, joining us out of L.A. just joining us now,
crime stories investigative reporter as well.
Alexis, the transcription, I want you to listen to it, Alexis, as we play it again.
Hey.
Yes. How far is the water coming up, sir?
It's coming up. We're just thinking, I don't know. Like, we're going down there.
Okay, Alexis Teresuch, jump in.
So it sounds like before the woman starts talking, the operator, he, everyone in the background is saying, is he dead?
Nolan, wake the, and so they are concerned about Nolan there saying literally is he dead.
Nobody has ever, none of the kids on this boat have ever admitted that anybody was said that they thought Nolan was dead on the boat.
Now, this thing with the boat, though, they realize this problem and they make this call while the boat's kind of trying to go back, right?
So this would be a major lie, right, by the kids, if this is true, because they claimed he never got back on the boat, right?
They claim he never got back on a boat
According to this audio where everyone is claiming that he
Somehow the kids are saying he's dead
So clearly he would have either been back on it.
He had to be back on a boat because they were in 31 feet of water
Right?
This is the first time that we are hearing this.
What is the chance that this has been doctored in some way
Alexis Teres check because
circulating on the internet
was a scene where a young another young man was faced down being attacked on the sand that
was not Nolan Wells that's not Nolan Wells repeat so there are bottom feeders that are
fabricating evidence and circulating it and it's whipping up all sorts of hostility
but regarding this have you listened to
it independently of any transcription?
I have. I have listened to it. I've listened to it over and over. And I've listened to
the audio where it's only the sound of the boy calling in and not the operator's voice.
So it takes a little bit of the distraction out and you can just hear the voices, the one friend saying,
is he dead? And that's the, we are hearing somebody very worried. They're saying, is he dead?
Somebody you think you might have heard them say Nolan right before that.
somebody then says, oh my God.
So the thing is, there have been a lot of false videos.
People have said there was a video where Nolan was screaming, saying,
give me my phone back.
His friend says, no, that's me in the video.
There been tons of AI generated videos and images and things.
But this is the official audio from the organization.
Okay, let's hear the audio to which you are referring.
Listen.
Now, it's my understanding, Dave Mack, that that sound we just played is real sound.
That is not a doctored sound, but someone else claims that's them saying, give me my phone back.
That is not Nolan Wells. Explain.
Well, Nancy, what we have is some friends that were also out on the boat trip out to Horn Island that we're with.
Nolan Wells and we're friends with Nolan Wells claim that that was him, that he was the one that was saying,
give me my phone back, that it wasn't Nolan Wells. So we've got an identification from the person
who says, I was the one saying that. It wasn't Nolan Wells. And when you listen to the, when you
listen to the audio, Nancy, it does seem like it is not Nolan Wells saying, give me my phone back.
It sounds like the guy claiming it.
Guys, a lot of confusion surrounding the audio that has been released by the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources.
This, as we are also learning about an offer made by the United Cajun Navy to Ben Crump, who is representing Nolan's family.
to Todd Terrell joining us, the president of the Cajun Navy.
Todd, thank you for being with us tonight.
Todd, explain to me the offer that you guys made to Crump.
Well, first of all, I want to make sure that I really am specific about the words I use
because I don't want things taken out of context.
Me personally, as president of the United Cajun Navy,
made a call to Mr. Crump and offering him our services for dogs.
Cadaberdone.
All right.
We'll leave that there.
Let me pull on my man
podcast with Seoul.
Sean G in the building.
He's explaining what happened
with the Diddy fight?
Remember Did he supposedly
slap Earth, Wind, and Fire?
Yo, they say
he slapped one of the inmates so hard
and they thought he was back in the free world, man.
So,
Diddy got sent to the hole?
Now, his state in at that, you know, he's at like some, I don't call it luxury prison.
There's no such thing, but it's definitely low security.
It's Fort Dix.
He was in a drug program that was going to reduce his sentence a lot.
Now, after you fought, got thrown in a hole or you're acting out, they could remove you from these programs and remove some of these things that would help you get out quicker.
Obviously, did he?
He's not here to, like, prove that he's.
he's tough in jail he's here to get back to his family.
However, if a nigga test, Diddy,
Did he go late a smackdown no matter where.
Shout to my man, podcast with Seoul.
Sean G.
He basically got the breakdown on what happened with Diddy,
with Diddy slap in the shit?
All right, y'all, so the word from.
Here we go.
Inside Fort Dix is that Puff got into an altercation with another inmate
um,
in self-defense,
in defense.
of his own safety in defense of his own life.
Puffy was provoked.
From what I understand from the reports from inside of Fort Dix is that the inmate had been stalking Puff.
So this was a situation where Puff
was defending himself, right? So you got to understand that this is prison. Puffy is in prison. He's at
Fort Dix, Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix. It's a low, low security prison, but they still get
busy and then. It's a prison, right? This isn't, you can't look at this through the prism of
You living in your house with the air conditioner on with a cup of coffee next to you and say,
oh, well, you know, he should have avoided it.
He could have avoided it.
Most likely is Puffy probably tried to avoid this thing probably for days, weeks, and months.
Okay.
and he may have been put in a position where he had to defend himself, right?
So from what I understand, the inmate who he got into it with,
this is his second time getting in some type of altercation.
And, you know, the dude was stalking Puff.
That was one of the words that I heard.
And, you know, Puff is a high-profile celebrity, man.
So, you know, it's nothing for people to try to get a rep on, you know,
trying to do something to him or get into it with him.
But I want to stress that this was purely self-defense.
Okay.
And in prison, these are things that have to be.
done. It has to be done. And, you know, I know he's short and almost getting ready to finish the
ADAP program. What I hope and what I think is most likely to happen, we'll see over the next
couple of days, is, you know, maybe they'll let both of them guys back out onto the compound,
allowed him to go back into the program.
Puff has been a model prisoner.
He has had no incidents, no write-ups, no disciplinary.
So he's basically saying that Ditty's getting punished
and he got sent to the hole, even though defending himself,
apparently he won the fight.
So he slapped earth, winning fire out of this nigga.
So, you know, that's just how it's going to be in prison, right?
They're not going to be like, oh, you got you defended your
so you're good.
They're looking at you because if you beat the other dude up, you're involved in the fight.
They're not here to figure out who started it, blah, blah, blah.
They're just here to say, you both are in a fight.
You both go to the hole.
The actions since he was in MDC Brooklyn.
When he was in MDC Brooklyn, he started a program to help the inmates that were in
MDC Brooklyn called Free Game with Diddy.
That was sanctioned by the BOP.
Inmates that were in MDC Brooklyn wrote letters on his behalf for the judge for sentencing,
telling the judge in their letters how much impact Puff has had.
Puff had on them while they were in MDC, Brooklyn.
That there was no fights in the zone, in the unit where Puff was.
in MDC Brooklyn,
that guys had hope
that he had spoke life into a lot of the guys,
man,
and gave them hope that they could change their lives.
And from what I understand,
the same thing was going down at Fort Dix.
Puff was labeled a model prisoner,
playing leadership roles in a lot of dudes lives,
providing hope.
an inspiration.
Okay.
All right.
So Did he apparently was in a fight within a North Carolina inmate.
And according to my man, Sean G., he looked like the inmate may have been like stalking him,
probably a little bit trying to be on that groupie vibe or whatever.
However, it turned into a physical altercation.
Did he supposedly defend himself, but he still got sent to the whole.
There is confirmation that he's still in the whole.
the ARDAP program, the ARDAP program is a drug program that he actually qualified for
because of the special circumstances of they admitted that throughout the time that he was doing
all the crimes, he was under the influence of many drugs. And thus he qualified for the ARDAP program.
The ARDAP program gives you significant reduction of your sentence if you complete the drug,
program and it adds on to all the other things that gets you reduce time wait so now TMZ and
everybody else that posting the story about didy and solitary confinement that i dropped last night
day late but they don't even got the whole story let me tell you the whole story is crazy
now last night if you follow me you already knew about this but now everybody talking about it
let me tell you what happened with diddy they're saying that it was a fight but nobody knows
what the fight is over except me the fight
The fight that Diddy got into it with with one of the inmates that got him put in the hole was over two things.
Cigarettes and cell phones.
Let me explain.
First, the cigarette.
Of course, yeah.
That sounds like a stock reason, huh?
Cigarettes and cell phones.
Like, what the fuck were they going to fight over?
Baby oil?
People say, well, you could have cigarettes in Fort Dix and all that.
Yeah, but you can't smoke in certain areas.
And what did he do?
He smoked in the area where other inmates were at and got in trouble by their officials.
And guess what that caused?
That caused the prison officials to lock down that area and search the area.
When they searched that area, they found three cell phones.
Now, I can't confirm for sure if one of those cell phones is Diddy.
They said it was or not.
But one of those cell phones was for sure the inmate that Diddy end up fighting.
The inmate got pissed at Diddy.
because he was smoking in that area
and got everybody in trouble
and got his cell phone took,
so they got to fight.
Now, if you listen to TMZ
and the rest of the blogs
who don't get it,
who don't have the information,
they just say,
they got this Diddy.
Now, it's deeper than that.
So as a result of being put in the hole,
you know, they have zero tolerance
of fighting,
Diddy is kicked out of that program
and will be doing his whole sentence.
Make sure you follow me
if you want to know what the hell going on.
because they take in my stories and they're giving me credit and I don't like it.
What if I told you?
Wait, so now, T.
All right, man.
Bibb, you got me?
All right, so look.
My man, Sean G, got a little bad thing with him, filming him?
I did federal prison time.
And cigarettes is considered contraband.
It was not allowed on the-
Oh, he's saying that guy's line.
Compound.
You would not allow to, uh, to,
smoke tobacco. They did not sell tobacco on the commissary. And you could not smoke cigarettes.
There was no designated area where you could smoke cigarettes. Yeah, that kind of make more sense.
I'm like, yeah, imagine be like, you listen, y'all could do, y'all could smoke, you know,
you can smoke cigarettes, just not over here. Yeah, this is jail. It's not, I know it's a soft,
it's like a softball, like, uh, prison that he's at, but not this soft, right?
I did my time at FCI, Morgantown, in Morgantown, West Virginia.
I don't know about Fort Dix if there's a designated area where you can smoke cigarettes.
There may, there may not be.
But I doubt that the BOP would have different rules for different prisons.
Usually with the BOP, they lay a rule down and it's across the country.
true. Number two, I smoke, I spoke, I spoke to somebody that worked with Puff at Daddy's
Studio. Puff didn't smoke cigarettes and there was a no cigarette smoking policy implemented
at Puffy's Studios, the Daddy's House. Number two, number three, Puff is still in the shoot.
number four
a determination
has not been made
whether he is kicked out of the program
or still in the program
no decision has been made
was that number five
this would be number five
number five
did I just get off the phone with a nigga
yes
I just got off the phone
by the way I looked it up on
like
chat GBT
they're saying usually in federal prisons
cigarettes or any type of tobacco products
are pretty much like
consider contraband so he's kind of right
maybe that other guy was capping
speaking to somebody
inside Fort Dix
an inmate
not going to tell you his name
Sean
three niggers went to the shoot
Puff
The nigger Puff grabbed
And there was another
nigger from New York
That saw Puffy
Grab my man
The dude was up in Puffy's face
The dude's been sweating Puff
And
Got up in Puffy's face
Puff grabbed them
They had a tussling match
Another nigger from New York
swung on the nigger from North Carolina, missed them.
They broke it up.
All three got sent to the shoot.
That is from an inside source at FCI Fort Dix where this went down.
It did not, as this guy, I don't even know this dude's name,
it did not take place outside in some designated cigarette smoking area.
It was inside the building, inside Ardap.
We don't know what's going to happen.
That's the drug program.
The Ardap program is very, very strict.
It definitely was where I did my time at FCI Morgan.
the time niggas would get kicked out of the ARDAQ program all at a time for various reasons um is
fighting a reason you can get kicked out of the ARDAQ program absolutely getting drunk
getting high whatever getting caught with a cell phone huh okay um smallest little thing niggas
get kicked out of there.
All right.
So Puff's still in the program as a now.
He could get kicked out of it.
Inmate was kind of like, you know,
doing a little bit too much.
Maybe he's a groupie.
Maybe he's a fan.
Maybe he thinks Puff walking around like he's privileged.
Maybe he thinks Puff is better than everybody else.
He either he steps to Puff.
Puff put, you know, the pause on him,
had to remind him like, yo, this is what I've been doing.
The niggies on the streets.
And, yeah, Puff got sent to the shoe.
Okay.
We'll see.
All right.
Chat, have you seen the hip-hop commentators?
They're all in shambles now.
Why does my camera look so crazy?
They're all in shambles.
They're all blaming Drake.
They said, Drake, you know what I mean?
Yeah, I got to listen to these niggas.
These niggas, the amount of copium, these niggas are using these days.
Check this out.
Listen to this bullshit.
You got to hear these guys, man.
Yo, Ebro and his cohorts, they're the real sickness in hip-hop, bro.
If you hear these men, bro, these niggas is whining.
Listen to this shit, Chad.
Listen to this shit.
Are you saying that the algorithm is against Rick Ross?
Is that what you're saying?
Yeah, I would say so.
And so that, and you're saying that because he talked about Drake, the algorithm is against it.
And because he talked about a lot of things that just weren't geared towards the project, as it should have been.
Why are you smiling, Nick?
Am I bugging?
Why is the algorithm in Drake being brought up, man?
It feels real, though.
No, but no, no, it's a thing.
It's a real thing.
Even like when he went to the Joe Button podcast this past week, that was a, that was
a thing that got clipped.
I think people are watching Rick Ross to hear what he's going to say about Drake.
But a lot of the clips that I've seen aren't really talking about Drake.
He right now.
Okay.
So, Rick Ross sold about like 18,000.
They're blaming Drake for that.
All right.
I'm listening to everybody like, you know,
it's maximum copium right now,
like just maximum.
Like,
I listen to,
I hear Joe Button talk about
why his album didn't do good
and listen to this cope right here.
They're all coping,
chat.
I haven't gone out of you.
Listen to this.
It is a lot of talk going on
about whatever he sold on his album.
I don't know what he sold.
2000?
I don't know what that was.
I don't know.
I don't know.
This is a little bit.
Was Ross ever the type of artist, though, where it was like big numbers?
You always thought Ross is somebody who is more like he continues.
Long game.
He plays the long game.
Yes, I'm going to put this out.
I'm going to do my car show.
I'm going to do in this climate.
No, no, no, no, no.
The projections hit under 26.
They don't have the exact number.
That's a very different from 2000.
Right.
Right.
Where he is now, just it's hard to keep people's attention span, how social.
media and that man these people ain't calling the spade of spade man if this was drake catching a flop
man drake uh you know joe button would be on the on the ground like ray mysteria doing the

Y'all needs to get back to reality, man, like hip-hop is, hip-hop is in shambles.
They don't even know what dick to ride.
They don't know what it is.
They don't know if they should hate Drake, try to apologize to Drake, stand another rapper.
Like, they're confused right now.
They talk about algorithms.
Like, bro, yo, I'm just watching, I be just having a good time, nigga, just watching them,
trying to explain.
Everything else.
He's doing absolutely.
He's doing fine.
And he got a lot of other shit going on.
Yeah, when you divorce.
Yeah, I love Ross and everything, but like, since when we got the excuse of, yo,
yeah, fuck the sales.
He got a lot of other shit going on.
Like, yo, I wish Drake would get that.
Yeah, I think if Drake flop, they'd be like, well, yo, you know,
you got a lot of shit going on.
He just had to knock the, the knock to retreat.
Like, he got a lot of shit going on.
Hell no, nigger.
He'd be like, yo, this thing is finished.
Finito.
You know what it had been like?
Like this, nigga.
Nigger, this what they would have been doing, bro?
Yo, listen to these things.

yo, we love Ross.
Like, I love Ross.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, I ain't really going ever like, you know,
but like, bro.
Yo, the spade is the spade.
Drake is on the king
Is the king of this hip-hop shit
And respectfully
Everybody who was like going against him
We're really
We're realizing in real time
That maybe they needed him
And it's okay to just say
Truth be told
We're kind of realizing that
All these rappers needed him
Facts
It's okay to say it
He's doing absolutely
He's doing fine to him
And he got a lot of other shit going on.
Yeah, when you diversifying and you not having...
Yo, niggas told him I diversifying the portfolio now, bro.
This is ridiculous, bro.
Yo, why when y'all was dancing and not like us,
I'm like, yo, you know, Drake's actually diversifying right now.
Like, you know, like right now, like, you know, he's doing...
No, nobody's going to fuck.
Oh, yeah, it's in that basket, yeah.
It's going to work out.
He's going to get a lot of bookings and things to perform.
Yo, Drake just...
Drake had the...
the highest gross in hip-hop tour of all time.
They told my year and I,
Rikrosso won't get some bookings off of this.
Like, what?
Yo, did anybody give...
Perform this.
He's going to get a tour off of this.
He's got...
Yeah, now, now, Drake,
going to get, like,
none of that.
We ain't, we had no nuance.
Fuck that.
And it goes back.
And this also goes back.
The songs will be used for licensing.
Yo,
yo, they're making all type of excuses.
Niggins said diversifying his portfolio.
You know, all his eggs can't be one basket.
Um, you know, he got other things going on.
Brough.
Just knowing him and he going to get more booking.
He will absolutely be okay.
That car show will keep going.
Oh, the car show.
What the fuck?
Yo, what?
Niggas like eight different things.
They're like, yo, yeah, fuck the sales.
Like, nah, fuck music.
Like, yo, like, the car show is popping.
The car show is popping.
I ain't a cat, but like, yo, they're making up every excuse, huh?
Of course, and this also goes back to that pick-aside culture again,
the new shit that's like die-hard, dividing hip-hop,
outside of the 50 beef, again, Ross was on the opposite side of Drake.
Nah, listen, man, all right, all right, the J-BP, like,
they got egg on their face, they can't give it up straight no more.
Come over here to big, your big act gotcha.
Yo, listen up, rappers, rappers, oh, y'all listen up.
Let me tell you how this.
Y'all see how LeBron just went to Philly?
half of basketball fans went to Philly, nigger.
Because LeBron is LeBron.
LeBron got fans in every city.
There's people that just like Braun.
He could play for a goddamn WMBA team.
When y'all diss Drake, erase 80% of your fan base.
And I do mean that.
Because the people who love Ross, they love Drake more.
Drake is Ron
That's facts
I'm saying this not to like
I don't you have a guy's dick rotten
But yes
These days
Drake fans who also like
Ross aren't gonna fuck with Ross
So everybody sells
Who used to have mutual fans with Drake
Bye bye to at least
50 to 80%
Facts
That's just what it is
Y'all don't want to admit it.
That's what it is.
I guarantee if I guarantee if Ross and Drake never got into it, Ross sells 40.
Guaranteed.
Promise you.
Guaranteed, bro.
So maybe 50%.
Let me not say 80%.
50%.
But now, I'm going to be honest with you.
You got, as I said, everybody, listen, this is hip-hop as a whole.
70% of hip-hop is Drake fans.
There's like 15% that's Ross fans.
out of the 15% that's Ross fans
Every Ross fans are Drake fan
Not every Drake fans are Ross fan
That's why this pick aside stuff
It hurts y'all more than Drake
Because now
Your fans that's also Drake fans
They're gonna like well if I gotta pick aside
I'm gonna pick the guy I like more
All right
So
Everything that anybody who stood on the other side of Drake does
They're looking at to poke fun at
if it's and put it like this the kendrick fans don't show up for nobody but kendrick so there's
two sides in hip-hop there is drake side and k-side now drake side now i ain't gonna lie them oviot fans
like like them you know them k-bots they hurt now they hurt if we're gonna if we're
gonna figure this out drake got about 65 70% k-kjerk got about 65 70% kendrick got
30%, 35%.
Actually, let's do 6040s.
Makes better sense.
Here's the problem.
And I always said this about
Nikki Minaj fans, right?
Them K-bots,
they hate Drake,
but they don't support
other niggins that's not Kendrick
who hate Drake too. You get what I'm saying?
Like, for example, Nicky Minaj.
Nikki Minaj has the barbs.
They support Nikki.
they don't like Cardi
when another little
you know pawn female rapper
jump in trying to almost like be on
their side
they're just not going to support that person
like how they support Nicky
like they'll be like oh yeah
yeah say fuck Cardi
but they're not going to buy that person's album
do you get what I'm saying
exactly
it's like JT right
isn't JT on the key side
yeah they're not supporting Nicky
they're not supporting JT
they support Nikki that's it
Drake fans, I mean, Kendrick fans, they don't support nothing but Kendrick.
So what happens is you have these other artists that are middle order artists.
They have no, all of their fans used to be Drake fans or are Drake fans.
Think about this too.
Rick Ross has more fans in common with Drake than Kendrick Lamar.
This is the great hip-hop divide.
It's either Kendrick or Drake.
And most of these artists, other than Kendrick, their fans used to be Drake fans and fans of them.
So Drake and Ross fans.
Drake and French fans, even though supposedly French are young out of issue.
There's none of these guys who are like, yeah, me and Kendrick, we got the same fans.
No, yeah, I don't.
So what happened now is it's wartime.
So fans is like, all right, fuck it.
We're going to vote with our streams and third.
It's no way you're bump in Iceman and be like, we're going to bump Ross too.
It ain't what happened.
And I'm not going to lie.
Ross do make good music.
I like Ross's music.
But it's wartime, nigga.
And yes, fans do.
And I don't know somebody's going to clip this and be like, yo, these, bro, hip-hop been like this now.
Like, I know you're going to be like, oh, no, it shouldn't be.
That sounds like dick riding.
Bro, niggas look at their favorite rapper, like how people look at their favorite basketball player.
Like, yo, that's my guy.
And this is why, you know, like you got niggins like JZ saying that beef ain't really, really like what it used to be anymore because, yes, fans of these rappers, they're taking it personal.
And they're not trying to be like, oh, let's go back to listen to the nigger he was beefing with.
So I think people like Ross are affected a bit.
But I wouldn't blame it on, I wouldn't blame it on Drake why Ross didn't do good.
The reality, what they don't want to admit is that there's a lot of other.
like Ross is a super veteran at this point.
It's a super veteran.
Of course, I thought he should do closer to 40 or at least over 30, but
fuck it.
But it shows the levels of where Aubrey's at.
It's not at Drake Standard today.
He didn't promote the album.
Well, to them, it don't matter.
You don't think he did.
I think he promoted that album.
What was the single?
The song with him and Tia?
Minks of Miami.
The first single was Minks of Miami.
And that charted.
Yeah.
With Max and French.
one on radio.
Yeah, that's right.
So was that, then he did, the TI drank mahogany.
He did a lot of, like, listening sessions and things.
Unfortunately, it was in the midst of Fanatic Fest.
So a lot of people may have missed stuff, but he was here.
He went to Miami.
But like even his.
Yeah, this sounds like the funeral over here.
They're like, fuck, this nigga still got the juice.
Show in New York, he was here.
But he did the show the same day.
There was like one of Jay Z.
Yeah.
So it's just bad timing.
You wouldn't know that shit for him.
Yeah.
But I respect the fact that he's still going out.
promoting his project.
He's not moving around
schedule and things like that.
25, 26,000, by the way,
it's not bad at all.
In this time,
it's not, it's not bad.
Y'all clip that.
Y'all clip that.
Clip it.
They don't know that.
They want to see number one
on the charts and
300,000.
No, that conversation was being had
because that 2,000 number was floating.
Okay.
And I love Ross,
but we're going to have to have
some real talk.
Ross got on an interview and said that Drake dropped trash music
and basically said that he was hotter than Drake.
Do we forget?
And this is what I'm saying.
I guess they just had Ross up there,
so they're not trying to disrespect him, you know.
But Ross was on PBD podcast talking brazy, bro.
Rick Ross, Drake, PBD podcast.
Look, he was talking too crazy, my nigger.
He said it was mid.
It was over a hype.
Listen.
You're not putting Drake at your level.
No, see, you might be, I can see it in your eyes.
So you said Drake ain't on his level.
Like, you see, the JCP forget out all about that shit now.
They're like, oh, wait, what?
Wait, what?
Might be confused with the numbers and all of the fake numbers.
So we're going to keep it a beating.
You see, you see?
He says, oh, the fake numbers, this and third.
Ross got to be accountable a little bit for his sales.
We can't be like, oh, no, he got Wingstop.
We like Wingstop.
It's cool.
But he was talking down, this is two months ago.
Two months ago, he was talking down on Drake's sales when maybe if he was like, I want to talk about that, man.
I got my album coming out.
It was Flood, the Marketplace 50-song.
That shit ain't nothing.
Remember what I told you, the streets are the streets.
If Drake was what he thought, what you think he was or what he thought he was,
he would have been able to clear all this shit up.
addressing and been moved on.
He's still suing the label.
That's like him.
He might sue you for speaking of him on this situation.
He might sue you.
He might send you a cease and desist.
It's a nice alley-whoe.
That's a nice alley-hoot.
Let them know.
But if it does, I'll definitely text you and I'll say,
we got to share the legal fees together.
Shit, no.
Because we would share legal fees together.
We'd get the same lawyer.
No, no, we won't, man.
He might sue you.
He sued Lucian Grange.
What did Lucian say?
I'm not sure.
Lucian is a heavyweight, though.
Lucian is a...
I know, I know.
He's got a little bit dark side to him.
When you diss certain people
and they can't deal with it emotionally,
they're embarrassed,
they're humiliated.
That's when they sue all of these people.
Did you listen to Iceman, the new...
I listened to some of it.
My engineer was horrendous.
What did you give it?
Zero to ten?
Oh, man, it was...
I mean, Pitchfork gave it.
I said it was mid.
Mid. Mid meant five.
Pitchfork gave it a four point something.
I don't know.
But it was like, no one's my friend.
You left me alone.
It's that type of shit.
Got to be a boss out here, man.
So nothing that would be in your new playlist that you were showing.
Was it anything in my recent playlist?
And hear all of them.
I don't know if you got to, you know.
I mean.
But have you personally listened to every single one of the tracks
and the new album?
No, I couldn't do it.
You couldn't do it.
No.
By which one did you stop?
Five?
Did you make it to five or six?
I'm not sure.
You got to realize when it was going.
It's music people that's on my team that's,
I allowed them to be a, you could be a Drake fan.
If you like his music, I don't, I'm not going to take,
no, I don't put, we're not on that type of shit.
Listen to it if you want to listen to it.
And I had people that listen to it.
By the fifth song, they came out, they was like, damn,
this shit wag.
And they went back in, listen to it.
I'm like,
It's not nothing that's dope.
You don't hear nothing like Jay Z and Alicia Keys
in New York.
I say you don't hear none of that.
You know, there's a motherfucker who's always bringing up
Michael Jackson.
What a Billy Jean at.
What a thriller.
And my homies actually sat there.
They lost an hour of their life for this shit.
Listen to it.
Yeah.
Are they recovering?
Yeah.
Trauma.
Trauma. It's tough. It is. It's tough.
Yeah. By the way, when you, when you've been waiting after you've seen people put ice blocks in the middle of places and promoted and marketed and the world knew what day it was coming out and the shit came out and really, you know, folded.
How is it performing on the charts, Rob?
Here we go.
Who?
I'm not tracking how Iceman is performing on the chart.
Rose, don't.
Yeah, well, let's see.
Iceman recorded 140.2 million first.
Spotify streams officially making the biggest album debut in 2026 so far the figure has placed immediately pressure on competitors and set a new benchmark for opening
Drake's Janice Shathev has reached number one on Apple Music so that shows it's doing okay
That's shown it's doing pretty good
I don't know what you're reading but do me a favor and pull up Spotify let's go to the real streaming
pull up Drake Spotify I don't that didn't even have a logo which you was just
So you might be an Iceman fan.
I'm not, I'm not listened to it just so you know.
Okay, so how do you go to see where it's ranking?
I'm not sure.
I'm talking about the articles.
That looked like the stream.
I don't know.
So Rob, why don't you type in Drake, Iceman, then go to news reviews.
You like Drake.
You like Drake.
You can talk about them.
Just so you know, I will tell you, this is the fun fact about me.
I stopped, you know, my hip hop stopped in early two years.
It's not hip-thous.
This is not hip-hop.
He's not hip-hop.
No, it's not hip-hop.
I like how he used a Michael Jackson glove right around the time the Michael Jackson movie came out.
You ride that wave.
He know how to ride a wave, but it ain't working.
He does not succeed.
Pitchfork gives ice man a 4.8 out of 10.
Okay, that's not good.
Fans react as pitchfork gives Drake.
How point is pitchfork, by the way, when they score you?
I don't get in the scores.
My music I've always made was in the streets.
You quoted them, though.
You said you gave it a mid, but pitchfork gave it a four-eight.
Facts.
So then that means pitchfork has got credibility in the market.
No, I just told you what was online.
Okay.
I said mid, which was higher, five.
So you were going to be a nicer than pitchfork.
Oh, considerate.
Okay.
So let me ask you, to you, what is the last hit?
Like you said, we haven't had a Michael,
we haven't had a New York with Jay-Z.
No, we just, it's just,
when we're talking about big records,
you gotta understand when you,
when you're comparing yourself to Michael Jackson,
when you're comparing yourself, deliver it.
He compares himself to Michael Jackson.
And, and when you, you listen to people and,
yo, play me the best five songs you heard, this or that, then,
you hear it, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Does it show ranking on Spotify?
I'm actually curious now to see where it ranks,
on Spotify, how it's done.
Oh, they scored a bite
54 out of 10
Clash, 54.
So based on weighted average score,
50 out of 100 from seven critics score.
Nigel, I think it was Nigel that brought it in, right?
Shout out to Nigel.
Nigel somewhere out there.
No, ain't no T.
You know what I'm saying?
What it is, though, is big boy shit.
Back on the throne,
Ricky Rose.
They know what I bring.
Soundwise, production-wise,
collaboration-wise
and then my
the points that I make
and once again
it's set in stone
and it's challenging to be my best album ever
so you could pre-order the album right now
online okay so I got a little promo
in
I would have been shocked if that was too
which is like okay if he sold
2000 I mean even with the 26
it still leaves me to a conversation
a larger conversation about Gamma and not Ross
yeah
I just don't know that Gamma
Man this is crazy man
If Drake and flop
Ain't anybody talking about
Republican Universal nigga
They would have said Drake
You fucking flopped it's over
Nigga
Has shown the ability
To take an act
Above 60,000 copies
Do they need to?
Yes
Wow
They're bigger
They're
Bullie did over
100,000
And bully dropped on Gamow
You're in the
the multimedia business.
I'm saying.
How long has Gamma been around?
Call it.
All right, man.
The copium was going crazy.
I don't know if you heard that.
Yeah, we cut it for you.
Where is Rick Ross getting all of this money?
He got a bunch of sheds.
That's what that passive money come from.
Yeah, man.
He used to roof.
He owned a bunch of wings.
It was a long list of things.
Yeah.
I'm going to pit him, man.
Joe Budge is a smart person,
and I can't miss another Joe Bunge podcast.
Okay.
Anyway, I think that's it on that topic.
I don't have to try to drag that anymore.
The podcasters are seething.
They're making shit up.
They're now claiming the algorithm favors Drake.
And if you don't, I don't know what they're even trying to say.
the algorithm is making people flop, but it's Drake related.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
Okay, everybody's talking about this little bronze shit.
Is there nothing else going on in hip-hop?
All right, hold on.
Oh, did you see Charleston White who responded to Jay Prince?
Okay.
So Charleston White has now responded to Jay Prince,
who wrote a very cryptic message towards him.
And the cryptic message basically said,
hey, listen, for the people who are campaigning,
you will be elected.
Now, this is like a saying that he uses a lot,
but it's usually saying if you're trying to get fucked up,
eventually you will get fucked up.
Or that's how I've taken it.
Anyway, this was his message I'll read it.
It says, never allow a maggot to draw you down to his level.
A maggot will always beat you at being a maggot.
Eventually, maggots become flies, eating shit, agitating others, and spreading contamination until their last days.
I've lived with roaches, rats, and flies most of my life.
All trying to eat off my plate.
Eventually, the universe rewarded them all, and no weapons formed against me shall prosper.
To the human rats, roaches, and flies who keep campaigning, eventually you be elected.
Congrats.
Charles & White reacted to this.
this was his reaction here.
And by the way, this was clearly
A. Matt Charleston.
James.
James.
Fuck all that shit.
Nigel, you used to be bad
when you were talking on cassette tapes.
Say, somebody tell
James Senior.
James.
You can't scare nobody typing, nigga.
You used to scurts talking.
You got to put a ghetto boy out together
for us to take you serious.
Don't nobody take your old ass serious
on the internet, fool?
You know, my, I run the internet, nigga.
I went to your neighborhood.
And I was campaigning, bitch-ass-nicker.
Y'all set me up there.
I just didn't bathe down.
Charleston white up, too, bitch-ass-nigher.
All that tough guy talking, you ruin your mystique, James.
We used to think you was bad at the Wizard Hall when didn't nobody know you was short.
No, you can't talk that bad, nigga.
No, hell no, it ain't nothing of a good came around you.
Now that we didn't prove evidence that this wasn't set up,
the shots were fired.
Dr. Candice knew I was coming because I was invited by Dr. Candice.
Nobody knew I was in Houston with Dr. Candice.
Ooh, I rescheduled my flight for Dr. Candice.
James, you can't get mad now.
At first, when I said it was y'all, Junior came out and lied.
Then you came out and said, now you want to get mad and send your goon squad and your hits.
That's what we're hoping you do.
That's exactly what we're hoping you do.
That's why I'm antagonizing you, nigger.
They just need one more thing for the Rico.
I want to none.
And I think this is it.
I think they're shooting with those politicians because they're trying to sweep it on the rug.
It's going to put a stain on Dr. Candice, Matthew, because I lie.
for Dr. Keith,
James.
Now, it sounds like he's saying he feels he got set up
because he says only one person new
and clearly he feels like
they may have had the drop on him
even though when you think about it,
it is his daughter's restaurant.
So Candice, I mean,
Charleston White went to
Jay Prince Jr.'s daughter's restaurant.
So I'm not that shocked to see people who rock with him there.
Now, I think he believes that Jay Prince sent those guys.
I'm thinking that those guys could have been there already.
And they stepped outside and called and be like, yo,
Charleston White's here.
And I thought Charleston's story matched at first,
where he was like he saw somebody on the phone after looking at him.
So maybe the, let me not call it a hit, but it was order then.
By the way, this is Charleston addressing the back door.
Here we go.
I'm right.
I'm right in Trump.
Yeah, I can't.
All I know, y'all left me vulnerable.
Somebody should have been whispering in my real.
This is this man's daughter establishment.
Get out of real.
We're saying what he's doing.
So I ain't caring about nothing.
Y'all, watch this nigga do this to me.
And the only for me to come back and lie and say I wasn't invited.
I'm fucked up by lying.
It was a public event.
Everybody's in my...
I didn't know it, but she's going to fix me out
because she's scared.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now, look.
Listen.
No.
So look like Charleston feels like they let him down.
They didn't put him on game.
How do you have Charleston come out on your behalf?
And he's speaking for you on your behalf.
He's trying to get you elected.
But you don't tell him that the place he's speaking in
and where he's walking in is the line is then
because it's J. Prince Jr.'s daughter's establishment.
And I guess he's upset about it.
Now, you also released some audio of,
look like him whacking.
Somebody else is on the phone,
and they're identifying who the guy who fired the shot at Charleston is.
Check this out.
You can't.
Yeah, the nigger called me and told me Zabler.
And a nigga named kid.
So is Ken a young, nigga, old nigga?
The kid is, can the kid is the,
the nigger that's always with jay prince with the nigger they stay down stay down say to kin
stay down calls ken his son but it's really not his son okay the nigger that shot him the
nigga that shot at him the kid is the nigga that took steve francis life he married to
steve francis ex-wife belated bitch named shelby i'm this my older than you too or yo nigga yeah he probably
about 40 now this is crazy because you know whack is always talk about he had a back
door over there in J. Prince Jr.'s camp, period.
This might be the back door, except here's the thing. Y'all just back door the back door,
because y'all put out the audio of the back door, backdoor, backdoor. They backdoor the back door
by announcing that the back door was backdoor in J. Prince. I know it's a lot of backdoor and pause.
So let me ask you, um, dude ain't mad that he missed.
I mean, are you, right?
I don't think
I don't think he tried to
I don't think he actually tried to hit him
I think the niggas outside showing out
and then just shot at
I don't know if he's you know
trying to show I had no idea
but that's who shot though
Nicky name or Ken
the nigga I sent you a social media bro
that's who shot him shot at him
Are you sending you said
What's his own of the ground?
You should what you said
I just sent him to you 713 10
Oh
wow we got the identification now
713 Ken supposedly this is a guy what 713 can oh apparently the guy said this thing to
private of that a record of that a recorded phone call leaked where someone from
Houston was breaking the situation down to whack 100 yeah the nigga called me and
told me exactly a shot him a nigga named kid so is Ken a young nigga old
Nick.
The Ken is, the kid is always with Jay Prince,
where the nigga named Stay Down.
Stay down, say the kid.
Stay down calls Ken his son, but it's really not his son.
The nigga that shot at him,
the kid that took Steve Francis' wife.
He married to Steve Francis X, Y,
the lady bitch, Dave Shelby.
I don't think he actually tried to hit him.
I think that nigg was outside showing out.
And then just shot at, I don't know if he, you know,
tried to shoot.
I have no idea.
Got two shot though, nigga name a Ken.
What's his number?
What's his number?
I just sent him to your seven one three kids.
What happened is that when the niggas knew he was there,
the word is that Jay Prince is on the phone
the niggas tell the niggis not to fuck with him.
On top of that.
Hmm.
Okay.
So, you know, now, why would the nitty even run the risk
of sending some people in there?
What I'm understanding, it's like a kind of like a political,
you know, where the lady's throwing in you.
he did. Well, first off, the niggins said, he's at
Jane Prince's restaurant. That's his daughter's restaurant that he
funded. That's what he was at. The nickel bar.
It's right on the Liberty Road, bro. I told you, man, on the whole street.
Oh, so that's what that was a slap in the face. Yeah, and so what
happened is that when the niggas knew he was there, the word is
is that Jay Prince is on the phone, the niggas, tell the niggas not to fuck with him.
So Jay Prince said to them not to fuck with him.
Yeah, Jay Prince was telling him,
not to him, Jay Prince was telling him,
they say Jay Prince mad as hell
that they fuck with the nigga right now.
Well, see, I'm gonna tell you why I don't believe that.
Because if Jay Prince, if I tell my nigga don't fuck with him,
they're not gonna fuck with him.
So of course you don't say that to stay out of bullshit, bro.
But I'm just telling you, definitely, you know.
Yeah, that's cap.
That ain't no,
Nick, if Jay Prince tell him,
niggas, don't fuck what he'd be going to fuck
when he's trying to do to save his ass
because Charles to me went on social media
and then what he did, right?
Said what he said. Now, he's trying to
put the narrative out there in the streets. I told
him to leave him alone.
Nick, if you told him to leave him alone,
they're going to be alone. They would have never
showed up. They wouldn't
have showed up. They wouldn't approach him and they
damn show when they fired no shots.
Now, what you told him is going in
and shake the nigga up and scat.
That's what you told.
Let's just be real,
nigga.
If I said,
you know,
me and me as you know what he.
Let me explain it sometime,
bro.
I have been places
where niggas with me
and Charleston don't even know this.
Because Charles has been popping this shit,
right?
Charles had then dissed these niggas.
He don't even know
these the biggest who heard you just
because they're crib diggers,
right?
With me in Florida.
And their eyes lit up when they saw Charleston.
And I simply took my hand across my throat.
And said it ain't happening.
And them niggas went and sat out and Charleston never even felt a bitter tension.
So a nigga can't tell me, right?
Then you're telling if you got nigger to your team, hey, ain't nothing happening.
Then they're going to go in there press five shots.
Now that what he's trying to do down is trying to put it out there because it's going to get to them political people that he did that shit.
That I had nothing to do with it.
Nick, that's your team.
Fuck you,
they're in there.
They're gonna go fucking with Charleston White.
Well, the big,
the big Steve,
niggas,
the one that I told you
that called the one nigga
that got robbed
at Eric 29 two weeks ago.
They were trying to get that
nigga to come
to have a sit down and meet him.
Them nigga's trying to go around
and control everything,
though.
That's who the nigga
that confronted is Big Steve,
bro.
Don't,
he's a air and shit.
Yeah,
you know what?
I tell you what.
Listen, one thing about Charleston set up, and we tell you why Charleston is one of the most dangerous niggas on the internet running the streets.
A, you can't call him a snitch.
Why?
Because he's telling you what he's going to do.
You just a dummy for going over there pulling that type of shit.
B, he ain't scared to talk his shit.
So now he-
Man, they said that nigga talk so bad to the niggas outside on and they called him all.
niggas are all type of bitches and holes.
Who did you at Charleston,
bitch? Yeah, bro.
They said 30 niggas surrounded the nigger dog,
and they said that niggas talk bad to every
last one of them from the dough all the way
to the car.
Why they were surprised?
They said
they didn't shoot at the
nigger until he stayed off of the car.
Then they shot out.
Don't my ass niggas, and them people all
still there. And the camera
and it wasn't.
It just been like,
Whack, it's been like five niggas already
identified who did to shoot in.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
You know, my phone called.
My phone was ringing.
Yeah, bro, you know, Ken was shooting that.
Woo-woo.
The man, nigga that I know that Kate hates Jay Prince
that's in the hood.
They used to be a heavy nigger.
That's the first nigga to call me,
told me everything.
And I know what he tells me is good at all.
That's what it is.
We're going to sit back and watch the show.
The Charleston called me,
told me they approached the nigger,
big old nigg and told him that it's
ordered.
and he's got to make a public apology to Jay Prince.
Big Steve is,
is Jay Prince's
Big you of the hood in Houston.
Gotcha.
That's what he uses.
That's what he uses to go shake down
and the nigga that's shy at him
is basically like
he would be, if there's some mafia shit,
he would be like a captain.
You know what I mean?
And what's like to say again
the nigga that shot, ain't?
Ken. He just called him Ken.
Yeah.
That's the way of you Ken on Instagram.
Yeah, you go see.
He's, he thinks he, Jay Prince.
He takes pictures and points his finger like Jay Prince, and he's a Jay Prince
dick sucker, for sure.
Yeah, well, you know, that Jay Prince don't know.
We got two-up tape shot up.
Yeah, the nigga called me and told me exactly a little shot of me.
Okay.
Okay. Okay.
So, they said Jay Prince Jr. doing voice, audio voice,
recognition in the group chat to figure out who's on the phone with whack.
It's how the hell whack be tapped in like this?
He said, bro, whack literally a detective.
Damn.
All right.
So, I don't know.
Charleston is hell bent on getting this Rico going, man.
Charleston even hit me today, man.
He is taking this serious.
He said, act, I am not joking around.
He said, I'm not joking about nothing.
