Back chat earlier than usual.
Hopefully you guys appreciate the effort.
I wanted to do some reading today.
I think that the testimony of Vani yesterday was really important.
We did get some updates, but I feel like we flailed off during the end.
So we're going to read verbatim the testimonies of both shooters.
Keith Jones, aka Flocka, and of course the Star Witness himself, O.T. Avani.
and, you know, Traplora and a few other people seemingly came out of court.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not in court, obviously, but I think people could tell the body language of everybody besides duty low.
The body of everybody besides duty low yesterday, it didn't look good.
Now, we're judging people walking in and out of court.
India, you know, India kind of looked like.
Like every single time, like she's about to burst out in tears.
And, you know, obviously, I think just supporting her if you care about Dirk would be the important thing.
But, you know, I don't think she's faking a funk.
I think she's very worried.
I think she's a little bit perturbed by some of the shenanigans going on around court.
But she's worried that her husband, that her soulmate might not be coming home back to her.
She's wearing it on her face.
She doesn't look bad
She looks amazing
Walking in and out of that court
Okay
She looks amazing
And by the way
I seen duty load say something
He said nah man
That's just this
He was talking about the hug
And I just remember the Dirk song
Little Dirk
Internet
Internet sensation
By the way
Did y'all see this
This is like kind of jokes
I can't even lie to you chat
This is kind of jokes
This is kind of jokes
This is the one
Where Dutilo goes in for the hug

Your refresh.
Wait, we don't have the Academy?
What's going on with this?
Okay, okay, now we're good.
Now we good, now we good.
Now we're good.
All right, chat.
I streamed a little bit earlier today.
By the way, also, this is your job.
You know, I'm going to do my job,
but I need you all to help me to remind me to you know remember this is a supposed to be a 10 hour stream we're trying to do 10 hour days
I ended off at nine um nine hours last night not really because I was tired chat by the time I was done at nine hours I was drunk
let me get the fuck off stream around I was drunk I was like I got through the day but I wanted to do some extra shit I was also going to wait for the the the the transcript but I was drunk
I was drinking the whole day facts you know we had a couple of bullshit happened but whatever so make sure
I don't get too drunk.
Tell me to hydrate.
This is a family thing.
You know what I mean?
Chat niggas, you know, we don't die.
We multiply.
All right.
So I'm going to give you some readings, okay?
I'm going to read both of the testimony.
Flaka's testimony is pretty,
that was pretty much the first half of the morning or the first half of the day.
So I'll read that.
It'll be, you know, you guys could get a full understanding.
You know, obviously we hear it from different people,
but it's nothing like reading the actual transcript.
Okay?
By the way, let me see what else is going on.
We're probably going to touch on the Yellow Beezie thing when we do get a moment.
Just remember that.
We understand that trial is going on.
Well, really, Kwan White, the shooter, that killed Mo 3.
He's on trial, but it all connects back to Yellow Bezzi.
That's another murder for higher trial.
Okay.
Kifida, he's been found guilty.
You know, by the way, can I point out one thing with the Kifi D being found guilty thing?
I just want to point it out real quick.
I really want to point this out.
I want to play the video of him being found guilty.
Here it is right here.
7-4-07-1, Department 2.
The verdict reads as follows.
We, the jury in the above entitled case
by the defendant, Dwayne Keith Davis,
as follows. Count 1, murder with use of a deadly weapon.
Guilty of first-degree murder with use of a deadly weapon
dated this 31st date of August 2026.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
is it's your verdict as read,
so say you won, so say you will?
Yes, yes.
Does either party desire to have the jury pulled?
Yes, sure.
Okay, please pull.
Jury number one, is this your verdict as red?
Juror number one?
Is this your verdict as red?
Jury number two, is this your verdict as red?
Yes.
Anyway, basically, he was found guilty.
They pulled the jurors, all the jurors said,
they affirmed that the decision that was read is what they actually voted.
This was a unanimous decision.
It's kind of interesting,
And this is why I keep telling y'all, like, you know,
you know, sometimes they try to, in hip hop,
they try to, like, lump stuff on the fans.
Oh, it's the fans' fault that dirt crashed out.
Or, you know what they say?
Journalists or media members like Vlad trick niggas out,
they spot by asking certain questions.
Niggas like academics, he's the police.
I want to be very clear.
And this is why, again, this is why all these guys,
and I just seen Thug actually put up yesterday,
we got it.
Thank you on Academics TV.
Grant on the boys, of course, you know, always on top of it.
They got young dog who put up a message saying,
fuck the street.
So the fuck the street's movement is back in again.
Again, it's so ironic with these guys that come from the streets.
They act like they could pick and choose what's in the streets, okay?
They act like snitching ain't part of the streets.
Like snitching is like, you know, it's just not involved with the streets.
When it's the quintessential part of the streets, okay?
You know, you've got a bunch of people not following the rules doing what they want to do.
And at some point, there's no law.
loyalty among brothers. If niggies going to cheat on their bitch, lie to their mama, they're going
snake day homey out. Of course, why do you think a niggins going to take life for you?
Regardless, I've seen thug put up fuck the streets as if now that we've seen some real cooperance,
the streets is over. No, the streets is still the streets. There's always been cooperance,
Sammy the bull, and we got jammy the bull now. Same thing. They've been snitching in the cartel.
Here's the difference. When a niggott tell in the cartel, they family go, bye, bye. That's it.
Now, why do I say this? And this should tell you everything you
need to know about the streets.
I've seen Meat Mill put this up.
He said, we're going to holl at you later, OG.
Now, y'all remind me,
ain't hip-hop the place where niggas say,
oh, this guy killed five people.
You'll free my nigger, man.
Free my nigger, man.
The idea of celebrating or even acknowledging
or even co-sounding a nigger going to jail
seems on streetlights.
but I do want to say this, right?
When it comes to Kifidi,
I wonder why no rapper in the game
has the demeanor of, I ain't gonna lie,
Kifi D is a real nigger.
Let's go over the story, and I love Tupac.
Everybody know I do.
Tupac was a damn near civilian
rapping about gangster shit.
He's seen a gang member, he was with a load of people,
he jumped the nigger, and the nigger spun.
Not two days later, not a year later.
he spun the same night spanked out pock killed pock that's really what it is and i love pock y'all know i love
how come all these gangster rappers who claim that that's something because when you listen to them
they say that's how the streets go how come not one of them have said i ain't a lie keef ad did what he's
supposed to do how come none of these gangster rappers who claim that this is the ball game they
playing by the way i'm a civilian i don't play in that ball game i don't play in that ball game but
according to the street niggas, if niggas jump you, rob you, you're supposed to slide.
You're supposed to spin.
Well, ain't that what Kee Fee D.
in Orlando Anderson did?
They hopped in the car, the white Cadillac, and they said, nigga, fuck that.
We're getting parked tonight.
They got Pock tonight.
How come not one of these so-called street niggas basically said, man, why y'all try to lock Kifi D up?
Keep that in the streets.
We're Tupac family at.
Where the outlaws at?
Where's somebody at?
Y'all niggas go slod.
Y'all niggas go slod for Tupac.
All of a sudden, even the gangster rappers are celebrating somebody going to jail.
You know why?
Because the street shit, there is no rules.
That's what I'm saying about snitching.
They ain't no rules.
You have street rappers who are cool or co-signed keyfidi going to jail.
You know why?
We all love Pock.
So for Pock, it ain't keeping in the streets.
For Pock, it ain't keeping it in the streets.
keeping in the streets. For Dirk,
the shooter should have kept it in the streets.
Right? Remember
the hypocrisy. All of these
niggies are hypocrites. For Pock,
we could celebrate. Alright, that nigga, going to jail.
For
Dirk, oh man, why jammed up there telling?
Why he up there telling? Why are he keeping in the
courtroom? Why he keep it in the courtroom? Why he ain't keep it in the
streets? You can't win with these people, chat.
You can't win with them. I think this is now becoming
the biggest example of when you, somebody like me, you a Jimmy Neutron, you a sidewalk,
nigger, a square, an L7, whatever they want to call people like me, we are better off.
Because these things are in shambles.
They can't agree on one thing.
They pick and choose.
He's a rat.
He's not a rat.
Oh, you should slide for that.
Oh, no.
Oh, keep this in the streets.
Oh, we're glad he went to jail.
You can't win.
I watched everybody in hip-hop.
Not one nigger said,
Yo, what Kee-D did, now granted, he told on himself, so he's an idiot.
But what Kifidi did in killing Pock, that's what the streets say niggins should do.
Nigger, fuck with you, you slide on him.
Revenge.
Eye for an eye.
Body for body.
I heard nobody ever said, why Tupac niggas ain't slide back?
Why they're not still sliding if Kifidi is admitting it?
Kifi D admitted this shit for five years.
I ain't had nobody on dayhead.
Man, slide for Pock.
What you do is on Dirk's head.
Now when Dirk's slide, it's like, man, why y'all go to the cops?
Y'all should keep it in the streets.
Hypocrisy at his finest, like always.
Remember, the street shit is only to trick people out of their position.
And, you know, if you are somebody like me, just stay far from it and be entertained by the bullshit in reality.
Okay.
And for anybody who says, oh, we hate the civilians, this is the Misons and those are the dwebs who be saying,
Oh, we hate the civilians who would have...
Listen, these guys have became rich millionaires by selling street music and their experiences
and sometimes they're buffoonery to civilians.
Civilians have gotten these guys rich.
They wouldn't be doing all this shit if they wasn't rich.
You know, who would think got them rich?
Other street niggas, no.
Any street niggins you know, you know who they got rich off?
A bunch of civilians who listen to their music and like it.
So anytime when they try to blame you for what music you listen to, just remember this.
they wouldn't have all these cars they flexing on you with without without you
they wouldn't have all the money to put on hits for all the goons or the ops they don't like
without you don't feel bad because they don't feel bad for them their damn selves
just remember hypocrisy is finest it goes all the way around all right uh we're gonna get into
some readings shortly but that was an interesting moment i'm like hmm not one street
nigga in hip-hop said man now this is why the streets is dead a niggas slid and he getting
locked up
Well, ain't the same thing happened in the dirt case?
Dirk slid or his homie slid.
And it locks Dirk up.
If you could say we're going to hollet you later, OG,
I wonder if Meek would have the same thought about Little Dirk.
Would you holl at him later if it was proven?
Now, granted, we're a long way from that, but we'll get to it.
Okay.
The reason why I also streamed earlier is that court officially starts in an hour.
Okay?
So we're ahead of the eight ball.
We got some time, okay?
And let me pull up the transcript.
By the way, real quick, real quick.
And listen, we got a special going on this week, chat.
Okay?
I'm also, and I'm going to be serious about this, okay?
The academy.com, if you guys want to support what we do,
or whatever the case is, for this week, there's a discount
down cold for free Dirk.
Okay?
It's 30% off whatever you get.
I'm going to give you a shout out on the stream.
It doesn't matter.
Now, let me tell you the intended goal.
The intended goal is not to just lie in my pockets.
The intended goal is to use some of this to actually make a donation.
Dirk's getting enough money from Drake and all these people.
But actually, either to the victims of some of this shit or at least to some organization
that is anti-gun violence.
Okay?
because while we all sit here and we celebrate and we kind of ignore it and we're all hypocrites at a certain level,
if we could try to help go to some change or help, you know, whatever, even if it's a small donation, we want to do it.
So there's 30% off on everything on the site.
We're going to take whatever that comes in in this week and try to make a donation to either an organization or potentially the victims or, I don't know,
I don't know if maybe Little Pops family.
I don't know if that's the thing,
but some of the victim's families, okay?
Just to let you know.
Just to let you know.
Okay.
All right.
Also, if you go to the academy.com blog,
this is where we're going to have our transcripts.
I got all the transcripts.
And day six transcript is up.
It is up.
And here it is.
We got the transcript for day six.
And if you don't know what happened yesterday,
I could play a couple of videos from the guys.
guys, but I could, you know, the first thing I wanted to do is to let you know that Flaka did
testify and then Vani came on pretty late. Apparently Vani only did 30 minutes and in that 30 minutes
it was so impactful. So that's why we think today is going to be probably the most important day.
This is probably going to be the most important day. Jam's first day understand is probably
going to be the second most important day. Now, it is expected that Vani, because he really is a
Star Witness. He's going to be on the stand all day. The entire day,
Vani will be on the stand. It's also expected, as today's Tuesday, going into Wednesday,
that he possibly will even go past lunchtime again. Remember, at this point,
they have gotten everything proven to get the conviction, except the complete and full
link that would make someone on the jury feel like, okay,
Okay, we know a murder happened.
Okay, we know these guys went there.
Okay, we know, and by the way, I think it's at this point,
they know it was a conspiracy.
This was an agreement.
Multiple people agreed.
We're going to go kill Kwondo.
All of those are confirmed.
Okay?
Didi yesterday got put in a blender.
Didi got put in a blender.
Because before yesterday, before Flocka testified,
Didi was kind of floating in and out of maybe accepting responsibility.
Jam told the story about him having a gun in the hand.
He said he would have killed these niggins, but subsequently he did nothing.
And he handed off the gun to Jam the next day saying he was rusty.
He wasn't in the hot car that all the shooters were in.
That was Ossa Houston.
That's boogie.
That was Flaka.
That's Keith Jones.
That was Lindsay.
That's Browney's.
And that was Casey Lester, which is OTF Jam.
He was not in that car.
He was in a car with no weapons, a car with no gloves, a car with no mask,
a car that's actually not stolen, a car that's a BMW that's rented from an exotic spot.
So I'm going to be honest.
If y'all want to go back to pretrial, remember, there's no real surprises in this case.
This is why you have discovery.
Now, what is being, the reason why I remember a lot of people thought that Didi was snitching.
No, no, D.D. wants to sever his case.
because without being able to use the dirt element,
without be able to use the dirt element and the shooter's element,
and if he has to be tried by himself,
he has a way better chance.
By the way, everybody does.
In a conspiracy case, that's what everybody wants to do.
It's the same thing Doug tried to do with his RICO case,
even though that was a shit show down in Fulton County.
You don't want to be co-defendants with a bunch of morons,
especially you don't want to be co-defendant with a nigger who is the shooter.
Lindsay is a shooter.
You've got to remember the verdict will come back for all three of these guys.
Boogie's case got pushed back.
The verdict will come back for all three of these guys at one time.
They're going to read out Dirk Banks, then Dede, then I'm Flaka.
not flock, I mean I'm sorry, brown eyes, Lindsay.
What does that mean?
You got to think about the psyche of the juror,
a middle-aged, middle-American white person
who's probably thinking, well, if you're sitting there
charged with the killer, remember Lindsay is the killer.
And I'm not going to lie, his lawyers don't look like
they're trying to make too much of a rebuttal that he's not the killer.
They didn't challenge the GPS evidence.
Dirk only has to challenge the evidence, not about the crime.
In his opening statements, Dirk's lawyer flat out says it.
Yo, what happened is a tragedy.
They admit the crime happened.
They're just saying Dirk had nothing to do it.
So you have Dirk's attorneys.
All they got to prove is that Dirk told nobody to go do it.
Dirk was offering no money to do it.
These guys did it on their own.
Now, whether Dirk knew about it or not, that's going to be a touchy subject because part of even knowing about it, when they're using your resources, they flew on your jet, they use your card.
At that point, if you knew about it, if they're using your resources, it seems like you're in it.
So Dirk's team, in terms of lawyers, are trying to say we didn't know that was going to happen.
they can't admit that they didn't know what was going to happen.
Too much of their resources funded it, so they can't.
But Flaka's lawyers, not Flok, I keep saying that wrong,
Brown-Eyes lawyers has not really made a great case to say,
hey, Brown-Eyes was not with these guys.
You have Jammy the Bulls say Brown-Eyes went in the dispensary
to see where Cuando was at and see if we could kill him in there.
the cross-examination happens.
Of course you get Dirk's lawyers doing their big one.
I got to imagine, and I know, listen, this is me assuming here.
We're never going to find out proof.
Dirk's paying for both his guy's lawyers, both of them.
Got to be.
They're all marching to the beat of Brian Stealing and Drew Finland's drum.
But they're marching towards the drum that much.
I'm wondering for that niggi, are they putting him as a disadvantage?
Because if he's charged with being the murderer,
they're not going up there and trying to pick apart the things that put Lindsay in the car.
Hey, describe, you know, just you got to throw some shit in a water.
Remember, the two people, Dirk and Dedy, were not there.
You just want to get them there by association and who they talked to, what they did and what they paid for.
Lindsay was the shooter
And his lawyers, I'm being honest with you
He's marching clearly to beat of Brian Steele
As soon as they're done with something
His lawyer kind of comes up and asks like two goofy questions
And then be like, huh, fuck it
It's almost like
Lindsay's lawyer is saying
As long as Smirk get free, we're good
And that's why I think that may be smirk
You know, which by the way, that's good strategy
You've got to pay for everybody's lawyer
And when I mean peer for everybody's lawyer, not directly,
but them lawyers should be talking to your lawyer because you know who's the head lawyer.
You know that, right?
It's Mills.
You're going to read through the transcript chat.
Mills says damn near nothing.
Damn near nothing.
Harbaugh does try to do his big one.
Can't lie.
They try to do their big one.
Okay?
And for Smirk, we got everybody.
We got everybody.
Okay.
Here we go.
So, here we go, here we go.
So in the morning, they start off with some housekeeping and stuff and then they get into it.
Okay, so Lindsay's lawyer.
And this is I'm telling you, Lindsay's like chopped liver.
He's a crash out.
Who gives a fuck about him?
But also I will say, that's why Dirk should have got the rest of the crash house lawyers, too.
Let me tell you how much they don't give a fuck about Lindsay.
Lindsay's lawyer says,
hey, I understand there's a problem with Lindsay's shoes.
Basically, they sent Lindsay to court.
He doesn't have on some loafers.
Okay?
He don't have, you know what I mean,
the Jesus sandals 9,000.
He still got on the prison shoes.
Now, remember, there's actually even a budget
that the court could provide
to make sure that you could get at least a proper outfit
that when you're sitting in front of the jury, you don't look guilty.
It was ruled prejudicial in a Supreme Court case
that if you have someone handcuffed in their prison outfit,
that the jurors are going to be biased and think that you are guilty.
So unless you're a threat to the public,
unless you can't sit there and maintain order,
they're going to allow you to get transferred to the court
in a changing area separately.
you know, these guys are not going to let them link up.
Separately, you change into an approved outfit.
You change into an approved outfit that you could look,
and they even remove the cops.
Okay?
Now, they have marshals all around,
which means if you hit the dash,
they got your ass.
But they want to make sure you look normal.
Well, Lindsay shows up to court,
and he got the MDC special on.
He got the orange shoes on, looking big and goofy, with like a makeshift suit.
And his lawyer is saying, hey, the MDC refused to provide my client's shoes this morning.
We're not sure what's going on.
The judge says, hey, listen, I understand why it's concern, especially the reason of dressing the defendant out is so the jury aside from the visual thing is not appearing.
You want to make sure he's appearing as an innocent person, as the law presumes.
but also then, just as a practical point,
not suggesting to the jury that the person is detained.
Okay?
So the judge actually says, you know what?
I'm going to make sure this nigga got shoes,
but I'm just trying to tell you,
this nigga is chopped liver.
He's chopped liver.
They got him showing up.
Probably didn't take a shower.
Same shoes from the jail.
Smirk is supposed to, or at least,
supposed to be suited and booted.
I know Trappler-Raw said one day
he was looking disheveled. Not too sure
what's going on with that. Okay?
Anyway,
they start
talking about the case. The government
basically says, we're
going to rest not on
Wednesday, but probably on Friday.
Friday's the thing. Finland
got a little tight. He says, yo,
come on, man. Y'all told us Wednesday, pal.
Okay. He says
he says, Your Honor, we're thrown off by Tuesday, Wednesday when we got 12 witnesses.
Now we've learned it's not 25.
At first we heard it was 25 witnesses.
Finland has now narrowed it down.
It's 12.
Okay?
12.
So I've been adhering to the hours you told us to.
Okay?
To my calculation, there's about 12 hours of directs left.
So if I put up a case, I would imagine, based on what I heard, we'd love to finish before a Labor Day weekend.
Okay?
When is Labor Day weekend chat?
Yes.
So they wanted to finish, and it's not going to be done by then.
So basically he wanted to be finished by this week, right?
Yeah.
He wanted to be finished by this week.
It's not happening.
It's not happening.
It appears his trial will go until at least next week, which is after Labor Day.
But here's how that schedule is going to work.
Because Labor Day, okay, because Labor Day is a federal holiday, the court will not
be in session. So they're going to come back to
8th, and then the 8th, 9th, 10th, and then the
11th. And they might
do a half day on the 11th. You know
why? They got some Jewish holiday
that's popping off right after. You know,
they love the Jewish holidays. I think it's called
Rush Hashanah, or something of the sort.
So I'm looking at the calendar
here. It looks like
possibly,
depending on how complicated this yet,
this will, and by the way,
you notice with Finland, he says he has
12 witnesses.
What about Dede's witnesses?
He don't got no witness?
What about Lindsay's witness?
You don't got a witness?
Whatever.
So,
it's a possibility
this trial goes,
if me,
I'm just watching how this is going,
this could go,
I think it's definitely going to go
until next week,
but if we don't get to
jury deliberations by Wednesday,
if we don't get to jury deliberations
by Wednesday,
or let's say Thursday.
I think that we are going to get to,
and I think closing is going to take a full day.
Closing is going to take a full day.
Right?
So there is a closing statement given by the prosecutor.
Then there is a response that's given by all three defense attorneys.
And then the prosecution has a chance to rebut,
or not really, it's not a rebuttal actually,
but I forgot what it's called.
They have a chance to go again,
but for a very short amount of time.
And then it gets tossed to the jury.
So right now I'm looking at it.
If you guys are thinking about when is it's going to be finished.
This week, for sure, no.
We're going to be able to tell on Tuesday.
So on Tuesday, on Tuesday.
And here's the thing to,
the court and the judge wants to hurry this up
because the longer you keep this going,
it's harder it is to maintain a jury.
The harder it is to maintain a jury.
You want to keep them focused, locked in.
If they're thinking about a three-day holiday,
they want to go out of the country,
they want to do this, they want to do that.
They might not be, you know, tapped in
and really still locked in for the case.
Now, here's the thing, too.
If September 4th comes, which I highly doubt this,
I highly doubt this, but if September 4th comes, if September 4th arrives, which is this Friday, and somehow closing statements have been made and jury instructions has been given, I highly doubt that the judge would do this, but it's a possibility he could sequester the jury.
What that means is that
motherfucker, you niggas
don't go home till we get a decision.
Okay, we don't care if it take one day,
two day, three days, fuck your weekend.
Now, that would be a little bit inhumane,
not really in humane, but a little bit mean, right?
You, like, you sequester them on a Labor Day weekend,
but that is a possibility.
Also, the judge might be against
having deliberations start right before,
and then people go on a four-day holiday
to come back to then tap back into the same case and evidence,
trying to still make the same decisions.
Also, when you have a jury,
you don't want them to have outside influence
when they're making their decisions.
So obviously they got to go home every night,
but you don't want them for the full weekend
and an extra day, which is a holiday, doing too much.
Okay?
All right.
All right.
So we got some stuff with,
dates and stuff, okay? Cool.
So we didn't have a closing argument conversation yet.
I want to let you know we skip that conversation this weekend.
And what happens a lot in court is that a lot of issues, you know, the judge is there to be the middle person.
You know, a lot of times counsel talk to each other.
They'll email and, hey, listen, we're thinking about this schedule.
We're thinking about this.
What do you think?
And if they agree, they kind of bring the joint proposal to the court.
The court will disapprove it.
But if they disagree, they bring that disagreement to the court and the court will make the decision.
All right.
Cool.
Okay.
All right.
So this is a lot about,
this is a lot about,
um,
okay.
Oh,
is Jerome Hester?
Why I say Lacey Hester?
Am I tripping?
Anyway.
This is a lot about just pre-trial stuff on Tuesday,
examination and directive,
whatever continued.
Dada-da-da-da-da-da.
Detected da-da.
On Tuesday.
Okay.
Okay.
So they're kind of recapping stuff.
Okay.
Now, I think this was, was James, no, Jam wasn't on.
Let's see if we could, okay.
So they get this, they get this guy to come on the stand.
And it's a guy named Detective Davis, okay?
Apparently he was there at the end of yesterday's trial,
or the day before yesterday, and he was there for the beginning of yesterday's trial.
And he's what's known as you're going to hear it here.
He's known as a open source investigator, which means if you're on clubhouse yapping,
if you're on an interview yapping, if you're making music, yapping, if you're posting stuff to your Instagram story, yapping.
There is a way that your statements outside of a courtroom could be qualified and used in a courtroom.
Now, I know everybody likes to use.
Oh, it's artistic expression.
I was just trolling.
All of that is fine and dandy.
It doesn't mean it can't come into court.
There's long-existed case loss that really narrows what could be used, but it could be used.
So this idea of slide for Vaughn because it's one of the things that's given the motive behind this conspiracy, according to the feds, they could use a open-source investigator to kind of look what's online that when Dirk posted,
something, if the comments was flooded with slide for Vaughn,
they could use that in context to say,
this goes on to add to the other stuff that people were saying,
whether it was jammed, this and a third,
that he was upset that people kept trolling him about not sliding for Vaughn.
All right?
We're going to actually skip past the open source investigator.
Okay?
You know, they looked at Dirk's post on X,
and every time he would post the main comments,
they would ratio him and do Slife for Vaughn.
Okay?
Or post Little Tim's pitcher.
Okay.
They show one comment that had 3.2 responses to it.
Um, yeah, it was a lot.
Anyway.
They keep going, they keep going.
And anytime Dirk posted RIP King Vaughn,
people said slide for want okay so they asked the guy when they says do you on the individual do you know
this person as rec so i do how do you recognize him through my experience working in concert in this
investigation with the fbi who is that person that is timothy leaks that's little tim so that guy
is getting to like break down social media shit that's that's his job so in your open source
investigation did you look at things like youtube and podcasts and said yes did you locate any
podcast prior to the murder that discussed the topic of Slide Favon.
He said, yes, I did.
They then use, I believe, this is the podcast that I own, which is off the record, I believe.
So this is sampling.
This is just one podcast.
He said, that's right.
Okay.
Da-da-da.
Here we go.
He says, what's the title of the YouTube video?
It says, it is DJ Academics off the record with 6-9 and Wack 100 full interview.
It says, and what date was that posted?
This is August 6th, 2021.
Do you recognize the individual?
So, yes, who is that?
6-9.
And is 6-9 a musician in rap industry?
Yes, yes, he is.
Let's play the clip.
They play it, and it's based on your open source investigation, would you describe this as a clip that went viral?
He says, yes.
He says, you could take it down.
What does viral mean?
So viral means it was going around, whatever.
It means rapidly accelerating, okay?
As part of your open source investigation, did you identify certain lyrics of defendant banks that referred to Slife or Vaughn?
Say, yes, I did.
They said, we're going to play something.
It's going to be in volume four, Exhibit 392, and we get to find out.
out that they play a song. The song that they play, they said, let's play one more time,
given that was fairly short. Now, they played aha. We've been sliding through their blocks,
and they don't know we have shorty ass got, and we ain't claim it, but I could show his ass.
Okay? They played literally the opening bars of the shit. Okay, we've been sliding through their blocks.
They don't know we have, buddy ass got shot. We ain't claiming, but I could show his ass.
niggas acting like they really like that since my brodie died
Vaughn just got out the feds you bring her murders with your police ass
I told Vaughan leave that bitch alone she posts our only fans
Catch them at apartments they be in because that's our only chance
They don't be outside they be they ass be on the gram
Olobs fucking with our new ops
Oh man that shit merch we've been through there
That shit like Gold Slam my brother D thing just got killed
I've been slow since but we got back on the ass I bet they know this
And on bro and I'm speaking facts this ain't no this
Keep the police out my business we don't post shit trigger happy
I be with zooing them
We're on four six.
They'd be like, Dirk, his ass is a singer.
He won't smoke shit.
You can believe what you want, but I got your folks here.
Aha.
Okay.
So who's rapping these lyrics?
That's Murkio.
Okay?
Defending banks, yes.
All right.
So they go over, they play podcast with Wack 6-9 off the record, and they play back again.
Okay, not back again.
I mean I'm aha.
All right.
They talk about some tools they have to get information.
Okay.
And we're going to kind of scroll down a bit, scroll down a bit, scroll down a bit.
They're talking about people in the common sessions.
Are these robots or these real people?
It says this is real people.
Okay.
They try to bring in some other lyrics.
This guy said his job was to conduct the research and as investigation continued, the lane narrowed.
What were you told to do?
It's a motion.
They're saying, yo, certain songs were not admitted and they cannot be brought up.
So there's motion in limiting are the motions that's right before the trial start
that bar certain things from being mentioned.
So, okay, you're going to, sorry, follow those instructions, whatever, cool.
All right, bet.
We're going down here.
We're going down here.
Don't worry about it.
Okay.
Cool.
So this guy looks into music.
He looks into social media posts.
He looks into everything.
It's very important for y'all killers, y'all criminals, y'all rappers.
The ones that even though I see Duned has mentioned multiple times that there is an entire
entire case that went to the Supreme Court about using lyrics and artistic expression
and someone's freedom of speech to use against them.
And it was said that you can't criminalize lyrics necessarily,
but can you use what someone has said if it does match in a very narrow way to a crime.
So if you say, I kill niggins, right?
And then say you happen to do a murder.
They can't use that.
That's too general.
You just say you kill niggins, right?
Now, if you said, I killed the nigger on the block 4 a.m.
Two of them was shot, shot him in the head, everybody dead.
And that matches an actual story, they could use those letters.
Basically what they say.
If you're not vague enough, if it's not just a general thing,
if it seems that you are given details to a crime,
and there is a crime that matches those details,
that could be used against you.
I hope you guys understand that.
All right.
So let's keep it going. Keith Jones is actually now on the stand, and here we go. Okay, so they swear in Keith Jones, and they say state your name, Keith Jones, said, let's go. So now Weiner is one of the prosecutors. One of the prosecutors's name is Weiner, one name is Morse, and there's another one, Yanlio. Okay, so there's three big prosecutors in this, or AUSAs. It's a good morning, Jones. When you speak, Mr. Jones, could you just speak into a microphone.
He says, okay. He says, hey, you're currently detained in a federal facility, right? Yeah. Is that because you've pled guilty to your federal crimes? I said, yes. And so what crimes have you pled guilty to? He said, well, I pled guilty to murder for hire, stalking, murder, and I believe conspiracy. And do those charges relate to the murder of Saviour Robinson on August 19, 2022? He says, yes. He says, okay, all right. Can we publish Exhibit 13 people? Okay, he publishes Exhibit 13. He says, are you able to see that picture on the screen in front of you? You say, yeah.
Do you recognize this image?
He said, yes.
He said, well, why?
He said, that was the shooting.
It appears that they showed this video or this picture.
Picture of shooting little pop.
This is the gas station shooting.
This is the infamous picture that the government published previously.
They showed this to show the guys, you know, they were here.
They shot there.
By the way, I hope you guys can see why Jam was a little bit perturbed.
Okay?
Jam was a little bit perturbed.
You have the shooter here and the Cadillac here.
This is, these are three-pointers, okay?
This is a three-point contest at this point.
You get what I'm saying?
Now, I don't know if you guys realized how many other people that were in that vehicle.
Cuando Rondo and his sister was in that vehicle.
Neither of them was hit.
There was also a driver.
That person wasn't hit either.
The only person that collected bullets and got hit was Savaya Robinson.
Now, we're not too sure if Cuando was in the store.
store getting chips. We don't know like maybe the driver was outside. He went inside to go pay for
gas. We're not sure where the sister was. Maybe it's just an act of, I don't know, randomness that
all the bullets only hit one person. Okay. There's another, um, here's another angle. And this is why
again, Jam, who I believe, oh, but remember, I think Jam is here. I think Jam is here.
remember flaca and brown eyes get mad at each other because you see how one looks like he's he's collapsed down this guy's he's like almost down he says somebody shot over his head and they had an argument over this so this is this is flaka and brown eyes
flaka and brown eyes are here jam is over here jam got that extendo clip right here okay now i think i think um lindsay which is brown eyes i think he's the one
who shot once and the he shot once and the gun jam so he only got one shot off flaka supposedly
didn't know there was a switch on the gun so that's that's called an autoseer when you have a
auto sear on a on a glock um handgun it is going to change that pistol from a semi-automatic to a
fully automatic so when he starts to shoot due to recoil okay
And obviously, you know, the gun going all over the place, the gun is kind of going to go up.
So usually it's not really a great way of trying to accurately hit a target.
It's a good way to just spray something up.
If you just want to say, send 10, 15 or, I don't know, sometimes a 30 round clip or something like that.
Send 30 shots, cool.
And you just hope some, you know, it's a Hail Mary.
Usually if you're using the switch, it's a Hail Mary.
Okay.
However, it's going to be wildly inaccurate.
Okay.
There's actually, if you watch videos on a switch or anyone who uses a automatic handgun,
this is different than a automatic rifle, which is shouldered or it's usually bosomed in your shoulder for stability and balance,
and you could control it better even if, you know, because your body's absorbing all the recoil.
This is your hand in wrist with a handgun.
This is your hand and wrist, and you're going to realize this is how your hand is going to be jumping,
but it's just jumping like this, and it's just going up, because that's tend to how weapons go after they fire.
So essentially, it's really hard to control guns like that.
But I think based on the fact of you being able to send 15 shots in two seconds, people have idolized switches when it comes to murder.
Oh, you got the switch on him.
He got the Glock with the switch.
well, I quit the switchy, you know, whatever.
So it appears that I believe this is jam.
So this is, um, wait, wait, what happened?
Am I lagging?
Wait, what happened just now?
Am I lagging?
Hold on.
Give me a second, chat.
Everybody refresh.
Please, refresh.
Hit the refresh button.
If you can, hit the refresh button.
I need, oh, you ought to hit the refresh button.
The reason why you got to refresh is that sometimes when my connection goes in and out,
you guys won't have the audio.
So if you can't hear the audio, refresh.
Spam it in the chat that other people can see it if they're saying they can't hear me.
I'm not on mute.
I'm not on mute.
I was giving my beautiful explanation of a switch.
By the way, a switch, you know, a switch is a...
It's...
That and a Drake or seem to be preferred by many criminals.
They just want to get in there and fire some shots.
Right?
Usually it's spray and prey.
But technically, if accuracy, if tactical strategy is your goal,
you wouldn't want to go with a switch, you wouldn't want to go with a Drakeo, honestly.
But if you're a nigger and you want to walk around with your micro-draco in your pants
because you feel cool or you want to, you know, have the fucking extended clip sticking out your pocket.
That's another thing to a lot of these guys, they're guns jam.
Number one, they don't clean their guns, right?
They don't oil their guns.
We've seen with the situation when, I don't know if it was Mouap,
but they tried to execute Little Tim.
They try to shoot them dead in the face.
They try to shoot Little Tim dead in the face and the gun jam.
And I'm not too sure some of these guys,
even though they claim their killers,
they're not that well gun proficient.
Because if you get a, if your gun jam,
you could just hit that shit real quick and you could clear that jam real quick
and get back to shoot.
You know, I don't remember that?
If you guys haven't been to a gun rage, I highly suggest you do.
You don't mean, I'm a strong Second Amendment right supporter.
The killer's going to have the guns.
If you legal, you don't have felonies.
You're not crazy.
You should have a weapon.
Or you should at least understand how weapons work.
So once I've seen that, that was also a rookie move.
They had the chance to kill Little Tim.
and the gun jammed, and instead of the gun jam,
and he cleared a jam, and, um, um, little Tim,
I think he just, like, hits him and he runs away.
Now, grand, there's other things happening.
I think the police was also starting to shoot, too.
The police was starting to get busy.
Okay?
Also, here's the thing.
When you have these guns, guns jam more when you have an extended clip.
Yes, it does.
if you have poor handling of a weapon,
if you don't know how to properly, you know,
hold secure and shoot a weapon,
basically sometime the recoil won't get the next bullet
to launch into the chamber correctly causing a jam.
Some of these guys are paranoid, they're sweating,
they're nervous as hell, yeah, your gun is jamming.
It's not the guns fall.
Nigel, you're holding the gun like a bitch.
That's what it is.
You ever been to the range?
If you've been to the range,
y'all could quickly identify while a gunner's jamming.
Do you not remember this?
Do we got to go back?
I don't know if we could,
we probably got to find it on Reddit.
Full video of King Vaughn getting killed.
I know, that's a bad thing for me to type out,
but shit.
You got to get it on Reddit.
That's the body cam footage.
It's the body cam footage.
They've released some body cam footage recently of,
um,
they've released some body cam footage of Vaughn like,
you know,
in the,
in the thing.
Anyway,
here we go.
Here we go.
All right.
Nah,
this is not the angle we want.
Okay,
oh,
here we go,
here we go.
It is.
Vaughn is in the white.
Little Tim is here.
Little Tim gets shot.
He gets shot.
His leg gives out.
He falls.
He still has the gun in his hand.
Look,
Little Tim has the gun in his hand,
and he's pointing
towards
Vaughn
apparently though
Little Tim gun
is out of ammo
he's out of ammo
I don't think his gun was jamming
it was out of ammo
because he's pointing it to Vaughn
and you see a guy right here
I think this might be Muwap
this guy right here he walks up
and he has a gun in his hand
by the way trigger warning
we're just trying to get to the shit
look
little Tim sees him and says oh shit
A niggas walking me down.
Oh, it's good night.
And the guy, he's trying to shoot,
but he's pressing the trick.
You can realize he's trying to shoot this guy quick,
because remember, Little Tim has a gun in his hand too.
So he's not trying to aim like this.
He's just trying to shoot quick.
And the gun jams.
And I think he thought little Tim's gun,
I think he thought Little Tim's gun was loaded.
So when his gun jammed, rather than clear it, he runs.
He runs. He runs.
So little Tim, even though his gun supposedly has no more shots in it,
he scared off the guy that came to execute him because that nigga gun jammed.
Now granted, maybe if he didn't have a gun in his hand,
maybe the nigga would have stood there, cleared the gun, and fucking ended Tim.
But that didn't happen.
That guy is odd because we don't see him kind of come back into the pitcher.
It could have took two seconds.
He could have went into the front of the car, cleared that jam, and went back.
and lit that nigga up.
Obviously, there is cops and other people firing shots,
but he was like, I'm good.
I'm good.
Now we're seeing little Tim kind of like, you know,
he's like trying to crawl.
I will say this too.
So the police, because there was off-duty police
who ended up supposedly killing,
slutty, I believe,
little Tim was so lucky.
Him getting shot and falling probably saved his life.
Yes, he could.
could have got executed, but that guy's gun jammed.
You know why you got lucky?
When the police start hearing the shooting, and they kind of, like these are off-duty guys,
they kind of like run up.
They only see the people who are standing with guns in their hand.
They don't see Little Tim on the ground.
So they're not looking for people on the ground.
They're looking for people standing.
So that's when they get in a shootout with the people who's standing.
Okay?
That's why Little Tim ain't get no shots.
Okay?
Now, what's also interesting is that when Tim, and again, I think his thing was out of bullets.
I think.
I think it was out of bullets.
Because when he points it towards here, I forgot to tell you this, Quando Rondo is here.
He's still, they're entangled.
Quando Rondo is with Vaughan.
So maybe Tim did have bullets, but now you're going to play the lottery.
you could shoot your own man's or maybe you do shoot
King Vaughn some more.
So yeah, he's been draped right here.
And then this is, no, never mind, this is Muwap.
Muwop comes over and Muwap
hits Cuando Rondo.
Okay, because after Vaughn gets shot,
Vaughn is still holding on.
Vaughn is still holding on to that nigga.
Vaughn was trying to take Kwondo
to the afterlife with him.
We all know Vaughn is in heaven.
He was trying to take that nigga to the pearly gates.
If Vaughn was going, he was trying to drag.
Chad, he got shot five to six times already.
And he would not let go.
That's what's called a death grip.
He would not let go of Cuando Rondo.
He was trying to drag that nigger to the pearly gates.
He was trying to take him to the next dimension.
If I'm going to the Gulak, you're coming to.
you're coming too.
We're going to go finish this shit over there.
And that's when Mouwop comes over and swings and hits.
By the way, also, Cuando's holding him too.
You know why Cuando's holding him?
Quando's hearing bullets.
Cuando is trying to use Vaughn as a human shield.
Cuando is trying to use Vaughn as a human shield.
So they're both holding each other.
Vaughn's last moments is trying to bring a nigger to the next realm with him.
Muwop hits him.
He collapses.
They're kind of, because shots got fired, you'll see Muwop back up because I think he's
thinking there's a gun there.
There is no gun there.
There is no gun.
So now they realize, and they basically kick this nigga away, and he kind of runs.
And now they're trying to, you know, pick Vaughn up.
And you're going to see Vonie show up.
Do we have it?
I think we need another video, but Vonny shows up shortly.
and that's when he got put in the car
that's when he got put in the car y'all
and we now know
Vonny is the one who got put in the car
King Vaughn getting put in car
after shooting
we get to find out that
that was
that was a
it's like a charger or something like that but it was
Bonnie's
anyway
anyway
so we're back
We're back, y'all.
Top of the morning to y'all.
By the way, I see everybody, what's going on with the Academy chat?
What's going on with the Academy chat?
Let's get right, y'all.
Let's get right.
I'm not too sure what happened before, but let's get right.
If you're watching this, please, please, please,
spam in the comments section where you're watching from,
where you're reping, where you're at, where you're trying to go.
Let's have everybody check in real quick, a real roll call.
Appreciate y'all.
Okay.
Here we go. So it said it was the picture of the shooting.

Okay, so I want to turn now to August 22 in the murder of Savire Robinson.
Okay?
How did you become first involved in that murder?
I got a call or a FaceTime.
Okay, you got a face him from who?
From Lindsey, Wilson, and another guy, Tony C.
Okay, let's break that down for a second.
You said you got a FaceTime from three other individuals.
Yes, include Mr. Wilson and Mr. Lindsay.
Yes, and who was the other individual?
Tony C.
Who's that?
He's another guy from the North Side.
Okay.
Was he a member of the gang?
Yeah, Vice Lords.
All right, can you just explain to us how a FaceTime works with multiple people
But like, take us through there, okay?
Take us through what happened when the phone rang and when you looked at your phone.
It was three different numbers.
Okay.
It was like they was on FaceTime before they called me with each other.
And did you pick up the phone?
Yes.
Tell us about the conversation you had.
It was asking me, did I have anything to do with the kids or did I have anything to do?
And where were you when this took place?
In a house?
In what city?
Chicago.
And this day, what day did this call?
take place the day we flew out.
Is that the day before the murder?
Yes.
Is that August 8th, 2022?
I believe so.
Okay, what else happened on that call?
They asked you, do you remember if you had anything to do, right?
Yeah, I believe that was Tony C.
Okay, what happened next?
I told him, let me see.
I hung up the phone and I got multiple calls back again.
Then I answered.
I told him I ain't had nothing to do.
Okay, so when you answered the phone again,
who was on the call at the time.
The same three, Wilson, Lindsay, Tony C.
Okay.
Was that a group face-time call?
Yes.
So tell me about the call.
So I told him I had nothing to do.
Didi said he had a location on dude.
And I asked who was dude.
He said, Cuando Rondo.
Then he said bro got a million for us.
Okay, let's break that down.
So you said Didi referring to Mr. Wilson.
Is that correct?
Yes.
What was the first thing he said?
He said, I need you to fly out here with me.
fly to L.A. Because I got a location on dudeing them.
Okay, at that time, did you understand who dude in them was? No. Did you ask the clarification?
Yeah, did Wilson give it? Yeah. And who was he referring to dude in them? Quando, Rondo and his people.
So at the time, so at that time, we're not the day before. Did you know who Kondo was? Yes. And who was he? Or who is he?
He's a rapper that has something to do with getting Vaughn killed. And when you say Vaughn, who are you referring to?
King Vaughn.
Okay.
And I believe you said that Mr. Wilson said that he had a location on dude in them.
What did you understand that phrase have a location on me?
Like he knew where they were at?
Okay.
Where did you say they were at?
Where did he say they were at?
He didn't say it right away.
He just said he had a location on them.
And then we got to talk and he was like, I need you to fly to L.A. with me.
Did you understand why he was?
Did you understand why he was asking you to fly out based on that conversation?
Yeah, why?
To try to catch him and kill him.
Kill who?
Quando.
The other thing you said, I believe, was objection leading overall.
Did you previously testify to Mr. Wilson said that bro has a million dollars?
Bro has a million dollars.
So yes, could you explain the portion of that conversation, please?
What did Mr. Wilson say?
He said, bro, got a millie for us.
So, okay, what did you interpret that to mean?
objection calls the speculation overruled
it was excuse me mr jones
it's what the witness believed at the time okay
and i guess he's uh he's correcting he's correcting um the speculation
so go ahead sir when you heard bro bro heard uh bro has a million for us
what did you interpret that to mean at the time
that he got a million dollars for us to catch quando and kill him
did you have an understanding based on your relationship with mr wilson who he was referring
to as bro yes who
Dirk, why?
He's called him bro before
And then that's the only person that's been around with a million dollars
Says
You said he's the only person that's been around with a million dollars
What do you mean by that?
The only person I know that he's been around
That had a million that's been around with a million dollars
Have you seen defendant banks with a million dollars before?
Yeah, when was that?
I don't know when it was
But it was that million dollars worth the game
Mr. Jones says there's a couple of binders in front of you
Could you please pull out the binder
It says volume 2 or 4.
And turn to the tab, Exhibit 143.
Do you recognize that picture?
Yes.
What picture is that?
It's a million dollars.
Who is depicted in the picture with a million dollars?
I hear what you said.
Who is depicted in the picture?
Smirkyo.
Okay, do you recognize this picture?
Yes, I was there.
Your Honor, we're going to admit that into evidence.
Exhibit 143.
The court says, sir, you're going to cross-examine him.
He's testified to a 10th.
Third.
It looked like Phimman tries to jump.
jump in by saying, how do we know he was actually looking at a million dollars? Okay.
They said you could handle that issue on cross-examination.
So, okay, he's appeared to want to be wearing the headphones and a yellow hat?
Yes. You've mentioned a term million dollars worth a game. What is that? I believe it's a
podcast. So this was a still image of a video podcast. Yeah. Were you present when the video
podcast was filmed? Yeah. Are you depicted in this image? No, I'm not in this image.
Where was this podcast film?
At a house in Taytown.
And Taytown is, I believe you testified before,
is where Mr. Wilson's neighborhood is, right?
Yes.
Okay, is that a neighborhood in Chicago?
Yes.
Okay.
So we're looking right now facing defendant banks
to the number of individuals.
Can you explain to the jury where you were in the house?
I was on the left side of, well, the left side of him, but on an angle.
So you were looking towards defendant banks.
Yes.
from the left corner, yes.
But what type of room is this?
It's kind of like a kitchen dining, like living room area.
But you're in the same space.
Yes.
Were you able to see banks?
Yes.
Were you able to hear some of the discussions that happened during the podcast?
Yes.
Was there any discussion including by banks as to what I'm circling here on the bottom
left hand corner, which appears to be stacks of something?
Objection, hearsay, overruled.
Did you hear statements by defendant banks related to what appears to be stacks of something
in front of him circled.
So yeah.
The discussion was about a million dollars.
In cash?
Yes.
What was the name of the podcast again?
Million dollars worth the game.
Was defendant Wilson at this film in the podcast?
Yes.
What about the other OTF members?
Yes.
Do you remember what OTP member was there?
Buka, Uck, twin.
Okay.
All right.
Now, they do an approach real quick.
And it then says,
what is the government assertion if it has one?
that this would be co-conspirator's statement has to be admissible against Mr. Lindsay?
I understand why you would believe it might be from Mr. Wilson,
but what about for Mr. Lindsay?
Weiner says, so this is, Mr. Lindsay will testify he was present for this prior to the murder.
He said, okay, he has already testified that Wilson solicited,
why do he was in Lindsay?
I think they mean Jones.
solicited him for the, okay.
But the point is at the time, why wouldn't, whatever, whatever, but okay, a rapper might want to display a million dollars and same way the casino was.
By the way, this judge seems pretty fair.
You aren't saying that at the time it was the purpose of suggesting a bounty.
The prosecutor says, no, I'm not suggesting that Dirk was suggesting a bounty with a million dollars.
He was just flexing with it, okay?
Court says, but the point is that you're asking about certain things bank said, and they are either co-conspirator statements or they're not.
so I don't see why they're admissible against Mr. Lindsay.
I'm just going to tell the jury those statements were not made at the time of this podcast
and are not admissible against Mr. Lindsay.
Okay.
The court says, yo, you just heard testimony by Jones that Mr. Banks made certain statements.
Of course, you can make what you want of the testimony.
It's up to you.
The same way you could do think anything is true of all testimony,
but I want to instruct you that those statements are not admissible versus Mr. Lindsay.
They, whether you feel are relevant to guilt or innocent of Banks or Wilson's up to you,
but they're irrelevant to Lindsay.
Okay?
So, all right.
Go ahead, Weena.
Weena, so thank your honor.
So, Mr. Jones, I just want to take you back to the FaceTime call when you're describing the day before the murder.
So you could take that down.
So could you please remind us who was on that group FaceTime, Wilson, Lindsay, and Tony C.
Can you please remind us what Wilson said related to bro in a million dollars?
He said he got a location on, objection, asking answer, overruled.
He got a location on Duden them, and he said who it was, and he said,
Bro, got a million for us just to fly out to L.A.
Did you believe that, Mr. Wilson, that bro had a million dollars on, I believe who you refer to as Quarando?
Yeah.
Why did you believe that?
Because he'd been one of them dead.
And was there anything about the screenshot of the podcast that we just looked at that also made you believe that, Mr. Wilson?
Yes, what? A million dollars.
Like, I was thinking about what I could do with a million dollars.
So you agree to fly out to L.A.
Yes.
Would you agree to fly out to L.A. if it was for free?
No.
Why not?
Because I was risking my freedom and everything for free.
Can you please say that again?
I would have been risking my freedom for free.
And wait, so you were willing to take a risk for a million dollars, though.
Yeah.
Back then, I thought about it.
Yeah.
I thought about it what I could do with it.
Yeah.
Did you eventually fly to California that day?
Yes.
How did you get an airplane ticket to fly to California?
I sent my name and birthday to Wilson.

to him, but he turned the volume down. Okay, Mr. Jones, I'm just going to ask you to repeat that again,
but instead of using he, since we're talking about two men, could you use Mr. Wilson and Mr. Banks?
So, uh-huh. So the court says, just use whatever names you know. Okay. And the witness basically
then says, Didi was on the phone.
We heard Dirk say, who were you with?
He turned around, he turned the camera around,
gave him a head nodded back,

Yeah, how did Banks respond with a head nod?
Before you had met Banks before, yes.
And then you said, what did Mr. Wilson do with the phone afterwards?
He turned the volume down and was talking a smirk.
So you weren't able to hear the rest of the conversation?
No.
Okay, all right.
So where was the party bus going?
It was headed to L.A.,
but I don't know where.
Did it make stops?
We stopped at Walmart.
Why?
To get hoodies and gloves.
Who made the decision to stop at Walmart?
Boogie.
And did you go into the Walmart?
Yes.
Okay.
When did you understand you went into the Walmart?
What was it to get?
Hoodies and gloves.
Did you buy yourself hoodie and glove?
No.
Did somebody else buy it for you?
Yes.
Who?
Boogie.
Did you see the transaction?
Yes.
How did he pay?
Cash?
Yes.
And what colors were the hoodies and?
and gloves. Black. Okay, are those hoodies and gloves that you wore in the picture we saw before? Yes. Why? Did you
ever understand at the time why you needed black hoodies and gloves to conceal our bodies from being
identified? Okay, after the Walmart, did you make any other stops? No. Did you make any other stops?
Did you have or did you make any stops, maybe not at a store, but other locations? Yeah, we went to some
hill that we could see the whole city. Okay, do you recall why you made a stop on a hill?
because Vani wasn't ready.
How do you know Vani wasn't ready?
Because Boogie told us he wasn't ready.
Was Boogie in communication with Vani?
Yes.
How do you know that?
Because that's who he was on the phone with.
That's who Boogie was on the phone with?
When he got off the phone, he said, Cah's not ready.
He called him Cus.
He said, Cuzz isn't ready.
And so because Cuss isn't ready, what did y'all?
What did you do?
We parked on some hill.
And then could you turn?
into Exhibit 161.
You recognize that photo.
Yes, that's the hill.
It's a hill.
It was overlooking LA.
All right.
Do you recognize the landscape?
Yes, what is it?
It's just an overlook of L.A.
Okay, these lights are Los Angeles?
Yeah.
Is that what it looked like when you stopped on the hill?
Yes.
Did you take this picture?
No.
Okay, you could take this down.
At some point, did y'all leave the hill?
Yeah, and where did you go?
To a dealership.
Do you know where a dealership was?
No.
Did you understand that it was in Los Angeles?
Yes.
Had you been to Los Angeles before?
Yes.
Approximately how many times?
Six times.
And what happened at or near the car dealership?
The bus pulled over.
I got out.
There was three vehicles that pulled up.
Vani hops out, comes towards the bus.
He gets on a bus.
He came out of what?
He came out of a white BMW.
So you saw three vehicles come.
Do you remember what they look like?
There was an infinity.
There was a BMW, and I can't remember the other one,
but it was a black car.
And the infinity is the same one that we looked at before,
the one that the image was on the right before the shooting.
Yes.
So Cuzz got out of which car, the BMW, what happened next?
He walked up and says, what's up?
He got on the bus.
And I don't know what was said.
He got off the bus.
I got on the bus.
It was three guns on the bus.
So Cuzz got onto the bus.
Yes.
And then at some point, you got back on.
to the bus. Yes. And what did you see in the bus? Three guns. What type of guns? There was two
Glock's extensions and the other one was the Beretta. Were you familiar with the Glock? Yes.
Why? I used to carry one. Carry one in Chicago? Yes. How frequently? Every day. Were you
legally allowed to carry a gun in Chicago? No. But did you do it anyway? Yes. Is it because you
were convicted of previous crimes? No. Then why weren't you allowed to carry a gun? Because I didn't get a
permit.
But had you been convicted of previous crimes?
Yes.
But it was some type of probation that if I completed it could come off my record.
Were those related to drugs?
Yes.
All right.
But if you were not allowed to carry a gun, but if you were not, your understanding is you were not allowed to carry a gun in Chicago.
Yes, because I didn't have a permit.
Right.
What type of gun did you carry in Shirek?
It was a Glock 23.
I got arrested for it.
And Minister Wilson, no, you carried a gun in Chicago?
Yeah.
How did he know that?
Because he seen me with it before.
So now we're back at the party bus.
You've seen three guns.
What happens next?
Jam and Didi get to talking about who was going to get the gun between them.
What was said?
He told him, well, Did he told Jam he was rusty because he had gone a long time or a while.
And then he said, let me get one pertaining to me and Lindsay because we came out there.
So let's break that down.
So Didi said to Jam, what did he say to Jam about being rusty?
He said he had been gone for a while.
He said been gone for a while.
Jam.
So do you know where Jam was?
Jam was in jail.
Okay.
So then Didi say something about you and Lindsay.
He told him, let them go ahead and get it because they came out there.
Who do you say that to?
Jam.
So Lindsay said to Jam, what?
Um, jam, let me get one.
Who was he talking to?
Me and Brown eyes, because they came out here.
What'd you understand that to mean?
Like, we came to get the money.
Okay, did you grab a gun?
Yeah.
Which gun you grabbed?
The Glock with the extension.
With the extension?
Yeah.
Was there anything else unique about the gun you grabbed?
No.
Did you...
Not that you knew at the time.
No.
Once you grab the gun, where you put it?
On my hip, was it loaded?
Yeah.
How many bullets?
I don't know.
Okay, you said it had an extension?
Yeah.
What does that mean?
It's a clip that hung at the bottom.
It wasn't a regular clip.
So what is a clip?
It holds the bullets that goes in the gun.
Is that extension a bigger clip?
Yeah.
Your gun has an extension?
Yeah.
There's another Glock.
With extension two?
Yeah.
Lindsay grabbed that gun?
Yeah.
Then I believe there was a burretto.
Okay.
We get off the bus.
Vonny gives Boogie the keys.
And he lets him know that he gives Asa Houston the keys and let him know that he gives
Ossa Houston the keys and let him know it's a high.
car which car the infinity so cuz or vani told boogie what about the infinity that it was a hot car
what does it mean to be a hot car stolen how do you know what how do you know that has you heard the
term hot car before yeah could you explain what it means is a car that comes back to nobody that is there
these you have an understanding that at the time why you all had a hot car yeah why just in case
we catch quondo and why would it be important to have a hot car
hot car if you call Cuando because it wouldn't come back to nobody the license places
anything okay so all right so Cuzz hands the keys to the hot car to boogie what happens next
we get in the car me jam Lindsey boogie what car are y'all in infinity where are y'all sitting in the car
where you sit in the car front seat do you have your gun with you yeah what about jamming Lindsay
yeah so how many guns are in the infinity all three and who's driving boogie where do you go in infinity
to the hotel where Cuando Rondo was supposed to have been.
How do you, by the way, in his story, chat,
you're going to realize maybe the timeline is jumbled a little bit.
In his story, he doesn't mention Didi holding the gun the night before and say,
man, I should kill these niggins.
He actually, in his stories, he fast tracks to the I'm Rusty shit
and J.M. gets the gun from Didi.D.
Okay?
And Dedy basically says, oh, the other two guns.
Like, low-key chat, you know, I'm ad-lib in here, but Didi slimed his way out of it.
He said, nah, I'm rusty.
He gives it to Jam, and he said, let the other two guns go to them because they came out here for it.
Okay.
So, Dedy kind of had a great explanation for him not to shoot.
Okay.
I know where we're going at first, but Vani says, follow him.
What we got there, he says, this is where he at.
So look like they drove immediately to the hotel.
So Vani said, follow him.
Wasn't Vani another car?
Yeah, the BMW.
All right, so the Infinity followed the BMW.
Yes, to where?
The hotel.
What hotel was at?
I don't know the name of it.
Do you know where it's in Los Angeles?
No.
Did you understand as you were driving that was Sequando's hotel?
Yes.
How did you know that?
From Vonny.
What do you say?
This is where he's staying.
Was anybody in Infinity communication with the BMW at the time?
Jam.
He was talking to Vonny.
Okay, and you could hear what they were talking about?
Not really because he didn't have it on speaker.
Okay, and the timing wise, this is an evening.
This is an even, so you're laying from Chicago or whatever?
Yes.
So this is a night before the murder.
Yes.
So eventually you go down to the hotel where Cuando is staying.
Yes.
What happens next?
We sit outside across the street and then Jam calls duty and tells him he's down,
Jam calls duty low and tells him he's downstairs with the weed.
What?
So we sit outside across the street from it and Jam calls duty low and tell him to tell him.
Okay.
So duty low knows.
the weed man. So he's telling duty load. Tell the weed man that he's downstairs with the weed.
So let's take it piece by piece. Okay. All right, cool. So they're sitting in front of the infinity.
Okay. So do you recognize this area? They're just kind of going over boring shit. So I'm skipping
past a little bit. So where's Jam and Lindsay? Says Lindsay behind me and Jam is behind the driver.
So jam behind the driver. And we have, um, this is Flaka right here. And he's saying Lindsay
sitting behind him. So you're waiting for Kwondo to come out. Yeah. Were there any conversations
and a car about Cuando was going to come out at a hotel and that answer is I guess when he called
duty duty was supposed to tell him the weed man to tell the weed man to tell him to come downstairs
and he was downstairs with the week weed let's break that down a little bit okay did you hear the
conversations about someone you just mentioned named duty yes who was having conversations with
him jam okay so you heard jam on a phone call and who do you believe we was talking to duty who's duty
Duty low.
Yo, chat.
You know how crazy it is that Duty Low's name is in the fucking courtroom like this?
And he's outside streaming with goddamn neon.
That's absurd, Jack.
That's absurd.
That's crazy.
Yo, this thing is outside streaming, bro.
With Neon.
Yo, never mentioned his name in court like it's going on to style.
Have you met duty before?
Yeah, but I think it was after this.
Is Duty Lo affiliated with OTF?
Yes.
How do you know that duty low was on the other end of the call?
Because Jam said it was duty.
Could you hear their conversation?
No.
I heard Jam.
I ain't here duty.
What was he saying?
He said, okay, so what could you hear and what did you understand?
To call some weed man, I guess Kondo Rondo knew and call him and tell him that we was downstairs with the weed.
That's to make sure I'm an understanding that duty was potentially in communication with a weed man who was going to have
Cuando come down, right?
Yeah.
Was that some type of trap or a setup?
Yeah.
And do you know if that call was FaceTime or a regular call?
I believe it was regular.
Okay.
Do you know, do you know, I believe it was regular?
Because when he called, I don't know if it was FaceTime audio regular, but it wasn't
a FaceTime video.
Okay, okay, my apology.
Do you know whether there was a FaceTime audio regular call?
It was one or the other.
I don't know.
So after that call with Jamming Duty, what happens next?
Some people come downstairs, but it wasn't Cuando.
So you saw people come downstairs, yeah, and come on to the street.
Yeah.
Was there talk about shooting those people?
No.
Was there a discussion about those people?
They were saying like, that looked like,
it was saying like Jam was saying that looked like that might be his people.
Because the way is the clothes they had on.
It was dressed a certain type of way.
It says, by day, you mean who?
Quando's people.
Cuando and his entourage?
Yes.
So what happens when you see those people outside?
We were just sitting there looking.
Jam had his gun and he's just like, man, this is the hotel.
He had his gun at his hand.
He's like indicating and staring at him.
Hold his gun?
Yes.
What are you doing?
I'm looking too.
If you believe you had seen Cuando that evening, what would you have done?
I believe we would have shot him.
You would have shot him?
Yes.
Was there a decision to leave the hotel?
Leave Cuando's hotel at some point that night?
Yes.
Why?
because we were sitting there too long,
waiting there too long for Kwanda to come out.
Where did you all go?
We went to part the car and hopped in the BMW
and went to another hotel.
Okay, so you're in an infinity at that point.
Yeah.
Do you remember where you parked the infinity?
I don't remember where.
And what happened after you parked the infinity?
Man, we all hopped into the BMW.
Okay?
Who's we all?
Everybody that was in the infinity.
Can you listen for us?
Me, boogie, jam, and brown eyes.
And who's in the BMW?
Didi and Vonny.
Okay. So all four of them squeezed to go to another hotel.
So y'all crammed into the BMW. Yes.
Where did y'all go to the hotel we were staying at?
Did you y'all understand there was a reason why you didn't just drive the infinity to the hotel?
Probably to hide it so it wouldn't be on camera.
So that was the hot car. Yes.
So what happens next?
This is a convenient time of the break, and they do take a break.
Okay.
We're still going through Flaka's testimony.
here, Chad. We're still going through
Flocka's testimony. Okay.
I'm going to play
some of what Trapp said
yesterday. I feel like
we missed it. This is
about Vani. We haven't gotten to
Vani's testimony yet, but this is a preview.
Again, he's
on the stand currently now.
But
Trappler Ross
had a, his prognostic
the prognostics
he had on the situation is not looking good.
This is what he said.
He diagnosed as Dirk might be cooked.
That's for Vonnie's testimony.
We haven't gotten there yet.
Man, guys.
By the way, people reacting to the testimony of Flaka said that Flaka came off very believable on direct.
I hate to be a downer, but it might be over for Lil Dirk.
Bonnie just took the stand.
And from the get-go, it's looking really bad for Little Dirk.
The first thing that happened is when he got up there, Dirk was looking nervous.
And they basically asked him straight up, you participated in the murder on August 18th,
2022. He said yes. They said, Cuondo Rondo was the target, even though you didn't hit him.
That's who you were trying to kill. He said, yes. I said, who else participated in this murder?
He said, Dirk Dede, Brown Eyes, Lindsay. And they said, why did you try and kill Cuondo Rondo?
He said, Dirk told us to. It was crazy, okay? He said that he was Dirk's personal assistant.
He drove him around, got him food, handled his appointments like a personal assistant.
Oh, my gosh.
I wonder who they're here for.
They said, by the way, shout to my man, Jimmy, Jimmy.
Jimmy, thank you for the order on the academy.
Dot shop.
By the way, chat, we have 30% going on for everything on the site.
We get a shout out.
And also, we're going to try to donate some of these proceeds to, like, you know,
the victim, either the victim family or at least some anti-gun violence organization,
since we are covering this case. You get what I'm saying?
He said he traveled with Dirk. He was with him like every day.
And it was very interesting because they asked him some pretty smart questions.
They said, did you order OTF members around? He said, no.
They said, did any of these people travel to L.A. to commit a murder because you told them to?
He said, no. They said, who had all the power? He said, Dirk did. It was crazy.
I'm not going to lie to you. No disrespect. But Brian still looked like he was ready to cry.
He was rubbing his face, rubbing his eyes.
I don't think he shed a tear, but he looked like a broken man.
Dirk was putting on a brave face for some of it.
Other moments, he looked completely broken, man.
He looked absolutely devastated.
It was crazy, okay?
He said that he was officially on Dirk's payroll,
payroll since the start of 2021 officially,
but he basically said, I did whatever Dirk asked me to do.
They showed a picture of Voni on the jet with Lil Dirk and a bunch of other guys.
Dudi Loddy's brother, Buka, mana, Muna, Aiki.
Br, it was bad, okay.
what can i say it's extremely bad man i don't want to sugarcoat it i know the three three dirk fans are
all lined up waiting to to you know try and try and do something about this situation but it's just
not going to help man vonny is up there he's doing his thing i can't stop him the defense team and look
absolutely shattered i've got other things to update you on that happened before that but it was
just an absolute bombshell um vonie took took the stand he basically said he said king von was a bd
he was a black disciple he said little dirk was also a black disciple they said how did you know he said
was doing the black disciples handshake.
And for a lot of this,
Dirk just stared off into the distance, man.
He had that 100, what I call it?
A thousand mile stare.
It was pretty, pretty bad, all right?
And Voni admitted that he committed crimes.
He got stolen cars.
He said he secured a stolen white Jeep track hawk for Dirk.
And he went with Dirk to go and get it wrapped.
With the 300 Camo Wrap.
You've seen that wrap with like the 300 movie logo on the side of it,
the car's camouflage.
He said that was Dirk's idea.
I took him, I took the car and,
Dirk to the wrapping place to get it done. He said 300. That was for Lamron gang. And I was also
one of the people that acquired firearms. He said I was dealing with stolen cars. He said either
went and bought guns from gun shows or we got stolen cars at we got stolen guns out of the cars
that were stolen. It's really, really bad guys. I'm not going to sugarcoat it. It's bad.
Man, guys, I hate to be a downer, but it might be over for a little. Man, I thought I had seen
all of the unseen, unreleased King Von footage, but there was even more played in court and they had
Voni basically doing a reaction video. So they played another extended wide screen version of the
original angle of the King Von Death where he basically started whalen on Kwondo, but he walks
off screen before the shooting happens. And we saw Voni basically paused it. He said that his car,
if you're watching the footage right and you're looking directly at King Von, he walks over to
Kondo and punches him. Voni said his car was in the road park to the right. We actually saw
the extended footage of when they go off screen to the left. And everybody usually when they show this
stuff, they cut to that other angle where you can see the shootout happening. They stayed
for an extended period on the 4K unreleased, uncut version of that first angle, and we saw Vonie's
car dart out, right? It drove around everyone shooting. It drove out the parking lot to the right.
It looked like it went all the way around the block around a whole building and then circle back down
round to the side and came to pick up Von. We had never seen that before and he basically gave a play
by play of exactly what went down. He basically was explaining that they were at the OPM nightclub
doing an appearance. Von was paid to be at that club from around 10 to midnight or 1 a.m.
They then unexpectedly decided to go to another nightclub.
And he put to rest one of the biggest rumors about this case that's been going around for years.
He made it clear.
All right.
They didn't know that Cuondo was going to be there.
They'd not gone there to ambush him.
At least that's what he said.
All right.
He didn't explain why it all popped off.
But he basically said that that wasn't necessarily the plan.
All right.
We saw the footage of the fight.
We saw him picking everybody up.
He even gave a little bit more info.
He said that in his car was a couple O Block members,
one of Vons baby mamas, 100K tracks.
he said, and he said when he sped around, he even acknowledged, I told you guys what was going on
with Mewap trying to squeeze himself into the car and slowing things down. He actually acknowledged that
and he basically said that Mewap was actually trying to snatch Vonn's baby mummer out the car,
and apparently O'Block Youngen was in the car, one of the people who passed away with the whole
Monodooke situation and cast your mind back to Dirk talking about he was mad that the O'Block
members let that happen to Vaughn. It's kind of all coming together. It's absolutely
insane. But in addition to that, we also saw surveillance camera footage of Bonnie's
car pulling up to Grady Memorial Hospital with Von in the back. They were trying to get him into
the lobby. The staff there told them, look, this is too much. You need to take the car, drive into
the bit where the ambulance is pulling. They all ran back in the car and then drove over to the
ambulance station. It was crazy. We ain't never seen that before. And Voni is basically breaking the
whole thing down. He's explaining his whole relationship with King Vonn. They were living together.
He even showed Google Street View of the house that him and Vaughn were living in. And he is
outside standing on the street in the Google Street view of the house. He said that he hadn't
spoken to Von in years and he reconnected with him after he got out of jail. He basically thought that
Vaughn was living in Dirk's like a crib that was close to Atlanta and they met up and then
moved in together and they were just outside together every day and with Dirk damn near every
day just causing havoc in Atlanta and he's definitely going to talk about that varsity shooting
but we haven't got to that yet. Voni's testimony is outrageous so far.
I'm not going to lie. Didi's lawyer just did he.
him super dirty, right? I don't want to disrespect anyone with this, but I'm just going to say it how it is, man.
The FBI had somebody come onto the stand who was basically there for the search of Dee Dee's home.
They found two phones in his crib. They found an iPhone that was smashed to pieces behind a couch in his
living room. And this was very interesting because we saw a picture of the smashed iPhone where they found it.
We saw, you know, the living room itself. And I instantly recognized that living room. That was the
location where they filmed that. You know that we did it. IG Live with Jam and Booney.
and Didy and Durk were counting money where he was doing the whole, he was singing the whole song,
you ain't have your gone for Booney, you better have you gone for me, you can't have you gone for sea,
whatever it is that he says, you're going to end up out of tree, all that stuff, all that stuff, all that stuff, all that stuff,
that's super incriminating life, that was in Didi's living room. I didn't know that, that is confirmed.
We saw the living room, curtains matched up, Dirk's on the IG Live talking about, or maybe it was Boone
talking about, oh, you rich, you got all that money, but you ain't got nice curtains.
That was in Didi's crib, but not only that, okay, look, I'm not going to lie, people turned around and they were slow-key,
having little chuckles because they showed where his other iPhone, this one wasn't smashed,
it was next to his bed, it was next to a bottle of lotion and some like dirty looking rag.
I was thinking the FBI did him dirty. That was not shown. Dede's lawyer is the one that brought
that up. And I'm not going to lie, Didi's lawyer, everybody kind of goes, when Didi's lawyer gets up there,
he spent ages just going round around in circles to basically say, well, you know, if one phone was
smashed it was under a couch, that, you know, you're trying to infer that he was trying to conceal it.
but his other phone was found next to his bed, not damaged.
He was trying to infer, well, he wasn't trying to hide it if it was there undamaged,
but here's the big fat problem.
They basically said they do the raids at 6am.
They try and catch people by surprise.
And clearly they caught him by surprise.
He didn't have time to hide that phone, that other smash phone.
Maybe that had been hidden before.
He definitely didn't have time to hide the lotion and the rag.
It was actually low-key.
He did him dirty on that one.
But it wasn't that serious.
Obviously, Voni took the stand immediately after that,
and it was just absolutely outrageous.
So I'm going to do a few more updates.
I'm kind of going backwards because Voni was on the stand last
and everything else going to happen in the lead up to that.
And it was pretty interesting.
So there are a lot of updates.
Come in, stay tuned for that.
But yeah, man, Dedi's lawyer could have kept the lotion.
Okay.
All right, I know I'm going to piss some people off with this one.
And nobody could seem to handle it when I said that Dirk's team was blaming Vony.
You all said, no, that's not, that wasn't Dirk.
I never said Dirk was snitching.
I said he's blaming Vony.
His team is blaming Vonnie.
His defense is to put this onto Voni.
And there were even more examples of that.
coming from Drew Findling himself. I'm not saying he's snitching, but his legal strategy is to blame
Bonnie. They were having a big back and forth with flocker, okay? One of the alleged shooters,
the person that allegedly let off the switch, all right? They asked him a whole bunch of questions,
and they said, look, I'm not saying it's snitching, all right, but they said straight up,
all right? Did you know about Vonny arranging the hit on Cuondo Rondo back in 2021? Ain't nobody,
I knew about that hit in 2021. I seen that surveillance.
not that on the scene footage of the woman going,
oh my God, they shot a Cuando.
They said there was a bounty on him, all right?
You want to blame me like somebody wasn't at the scene
filming it immediately afterwards,
talking about what had happened in the bounty.
But setting that aside, all right?
Dirk's defense team, Drew Findling himself, is up there,
asking Flocker, were you aware that Voni arranged the hit
on Cuondo Rondo back in 2021?
He said yes, right?
That's apparently what he said.
So here's the thing.
I'm not saying it's telling him,
but that is their strategy.
They're blaming it on him.
They're saying he masterminded other hits.
I'm not saying he'd tell him, Dirk's not taking the stand, pointing at Voney or anything like that.
It's quite the opposite.
We've seen Vony get on the stand and literally point at Dirk and call out Dirk, but here is the thing.
They said, did you know about Blackshir?
Did you know about Vony defrauding people?
And basically, there was an objection to that.
He wasn't allowed to answer.
That was the end of the question.
But basically, Drew Fendling was dropping bombs.
He was basically saying it was all Vony.
He was saying, you basically didn't know much about Vony.
This was your first time dealing with him.
didn't you know what he was getting up to?
Basically trying to create this reasonable doubt that like, you know,
Flocker didn't know what he was getting into.
And potentially it was Voni that was calling the shots.
Basically saying you didn't know, you got called by Dedi to come and get involved in this.
But it sounds like he was painting a picture of Voni being above him.
Now that all completely fell apart when Voni took the stand and he was asked,
do you get to order OTF members around?
He said no.
He said, did any of these OTF members travel to L.A.
And commit a murder because you told them to.
He said, no.
They said, who had all the power?
Dirk did. Dirk's trying to say Voney had all the power. Dirk's team, Drew Findler, is what it is. I'm not
saying he's telling. But that's the legal strategy. And to be honest, it's falling apart in front of our very eyes.
That's all well and good until Vony hits the stand and says Dirk had all the power. I'm sorry. That's what was said. I'm not trying to rub it in.
That is literally what was just said in court. And I'm going to heat you with some more stuff that happened earlier in the day.
There were some wins for Dirk. But those wins were very quickly obliterated. Okay. I'm sorry.
Okay.
Okay, so it was honestly a rough afternoon for flocker, Keith Jones, who was on the stand.
Now, this is the part we haven't gotten to yet.
We got through direct on Flaka, but we haven't gotten through cross-examination,
which means Finland's going to do his big one, and then Harbaugh is going to come afterwards.
Basically giving testimony against Dirk, and I know there's been a lot of really negative things that came out from Voni,
but there were some good moments for Dirk and his defense team, and they basically kind of cooked
Flocka a little bit. They basically made it clear. They're saying, look, you're facing life,
mandatory life. There ain't no parole in the feds. The only way that you're actually going to
come out of jail alive is if you give the feds substantial assistance in the case against
Dirk. They're saying the prosecutors decide if you did that. And if you change your mind now,
you will die in prison. They once again tried to get things pinned on Voni. They said, look,
did you know that Voni was Vonn's cousin? He said, Lee didn't even know.
Flocker even said that he thought that Voni was actually Dirk's cousin because of the way they
were calling him. He said, did you know any of the depth of the relationship that he had with King?
Oh, yeah. Again, it just shows that to me, these are little things, though. You know, whether you thought
that was Bonnie's cousin or you thought it was Dirt's cousin. That's like small fries. Small fries to a
giant, I think. The giant story is, did you do this murder thinking you got paid and who you thought
was going to pay you? And who told you that person was going to pay you? You ever talk to him direct?
He said, no. They said, did you know that Cuzz was with C. Vick. King Von? He said, did you know that Cuzz was with
King Von when he was murdered and he said to be fair all right he said it wrong he said
November the 2nd where it's actually I believe it was November 6th but anyway that doesn't matter
right we apparently lawyers are allowed to just say things wrong it's completely fine but I'm not
allowed to be anyway all right they basically were painting the picture of it okay we're gonna get
back into reading um reading this transcript because I want to get to the united center stuff
that's when the confrontation happened so the murder happens and he confronts dirk about getting paid
and that's when dirk says nigger get the fuck out of
my face. Yo, go holl it, Booney Moe. So I want to get to that. By the way, real quick,
once again, the academy.com. There's a 30% off on all orders. Just put free Dirk. Okay,
that's it. Free Dirk. We will be donating the proceeds or portion of the proceeds to
either anti-violence or anti-gun violence or at least one of the victims family. I'll let you know
which one it is. Shout to Vic, who's also placed an order. I appreciate you, brother.
Okay. Let's get back into this.
And let's get to, I want to scroll down a bit.
I know I'm reading the entire transcript of the testimony,
but I want to get back to this idea of him getting paid.
All right.
They focus way too long on going to L.A.
We get it.
They went to L.A.
Okay, here we go ahead.
Okay.
Let me give me a one second.
All right.
Look like that was direct.
Okay, so that was direct.
So that was direct.
and Finland, they're asking Finland if he wants to say anything.
All 15 members of jury are there.
You may proceed, okay?
All right, so this is Wiener.
He's wrapping up.
He said, Mr. Jones, we left up before the break, talking about an infinity and BMW.
You were getting to the BMW and going to the hotel, right?
Yeah.
I want you to take a step back from the night before the murder.
Just ask you some question about your relationship with Wilson, okay?
Can you remind us approximately when did you meet Wilson?
objection asking the answer overruled i was going to say like 15 years 15 16 years or something like
then okay so when you were 15 or 16 years right yeah so would you describe your relationship with
wilson is close yes yeah we were would you describe your relationship as close um why would you describe it
because when he needed me i was there for him when i needed him he was there for me you guys were friends
yes did you talk to him on the phone together yes text yes hang out party yes what about mr wilson
or Mr. Lindsay.
Did you describe your relationship with him as close?
Yeah, we were.
Were you friends?
Yes.
Similar to your relationship you had with Wilson, probably closer.
So you were closer with Mr. Lindsay than even Wilson.
Yeah.
And I think if, you know, if I'm remembering correctly, you said that you hung out with Mr.
Lindsay?
How often?
Like how many days out of the week?
It was more than D.D.
And similar to have a friendship, call, text, hang out and stuff.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Right.
All right.
Let's go back to Mr. Lindsay for a second.
We talked about Mr. Wilson, how he was acting on FaceTime when
he told you to go to Los Angeles.
You remember that?
He was acting geeky, right?
Were you able to hear, you were able to see Lindsay's voice on the call?
Or see his face?
Yes, were you able to hear his voice?
I don't really think he said anything.
So did you notice anything about how he was acting on the call?
He was just kind of normal.
Did you have Mr. Lindsay on your way to the airport?
Did you talk about going to Los Angeles?
No, not really.
What was happening in the car?
We were just listening to music.
Okay, and then the airport.
Now I'm going to talk to you about the airport in San Diego.
Is that where Mr. Wilson made the comment about you get a million?
You get a million.
Yes.
Was Lindsay there for that?
Yes.
Were you able to see his face and hear his voice if he said anything?
I think he probably just grinned if that.
He just what?
He's just grin.
But I'm not 100% sure.
So you may have grinned.
Yeah.
So you don't remember if he responded directly to the line,
you get a million, you get a million.
No.
And what you mean by grin?
What do you mean?
Just like a little small.
Okay.
And just to be clear, Mr. Lindsay was on the face time call when it was discussed that bro had a million, right?
Yes.
objection asked and answered sustained all right so let's go back to los angeles so we're talking
about the night before the murder okay and right before we left for break i correct me if I'm wrong
you had all gotten to the BMW went back to the hotel who was in the BMW again me vani
boogie brown eyes ddian jam okay mrs jones because you make sure you're speaking to the microphone
okay where did the BMW go to a hotel can you remember the name no um was it a hotel in los angeles
i believe so or in the area yeah and what happened when you got to the hotel you waited for
to get the room. He came back and then we all went in.
So who got the room? Bonnie.
And what do you mean by God? What do you mean?
He booked the room. And how many rooms did Vonnie or Cah's book? Just one?
Yeah, chat. I ain't going to lie. These things is dumb as a box of rocks.
Them niggins thought it was getting a million dollars for a hit. And Vani couldn't rent
more than one hotel room for four grown ass men.
So for four grown ass men, he booked one hotel room. And these niggins thought they hit
the jackpot and they was about to get page hat they all thought there was about to run it up they
thought they was going to get a million dollars these guys are duffices these guys are like they're the
exact people you send off here's the thing dirt might i don't know if dirt did this shit but it's clear
with this level of stupidity these guys are worthless the only thing is you got to kill them after
after they do the hit because like these guys are morons man uh okay so they stayed in the room
to say who was going to stay in the room everybody but him who was that me boogie jam
Didy and brown eyes.
Hmm.
So that's Mr. Lindsay.
Yes.
All right.
So at some point, did you go to the room or go to the room?
Yes.
And y'all all in the same room together.
Yes.
Who slept in that room?
Everybody that went in, which was me, jam, boogie, Diti, Lindsay.
And what did y'all do the evening once you got to the room?
We smoke, we ate, we watched TV, smoke what, weed?
Weed?
Yes.
At some point did y'all go to sleep?
Yes.
And you slept in that hotel room.
Yes.
And did the other men sleep in that hotel room with you?
Yes.
And what happened when you was?
woke up in the morning. What's the first thing you remember? Jam and Boogie, they were gone.
And one of the guns, that was gone. Okay, so let's break that down. So you wake up and we're talking
about in the morning of the murder, right? Yeah. And when you wake up, who was in the room with you?
Me, Browneyes, and Dedy. So the three of you were in the room, yeah. And you know where Jamming
Boogie went? No. And you mentioned that one of the guns was gone. Yes. How do you know that?
Because all three of them were together. We woke up. There was only two. So all three guns were
together. Yes. So you guys slept, you left the guns out in the open. Yes, where? On the,
I believe the nightstand. On one of the nightstand in the hotel rooms? Yes. So Jam and Boogie are gone.
A gun is gone too, right? Yeah. And what happens next? Didi end up being on the phone. I believe it was
with Jam. Why do you think it was with jam? Because that's what I heard. So Didi's on the phone. Yes.
Do you know it was FaceTime? Video, audio, regular call up, not too sure. How do you know Didi was on the phone?
because I was looking at him.
He was on the phone.
It was on speaker.
So you saw him with your own eyes.
Yeah, and you could hear the phone call as well.
Yes.
Could you tell who was on the other end?
Yes.
I heard Jam.
Okay?
It's Jam and I heard Vonny.
So you heard two people on the other end of the phone call.
Yes.
Jam and Cuss.
Or Bonnie?
Yes.
What did you hear discussing the call?
Jam says,
Cuando.
He's right here.
He's right here.
Okay.
And Mr. Wilson responded to that?
He said,
get him get him please say that again oh wow i didn't hear this part so look like jam and vawny
jam and vawny dip out early in the morning they grab one gun okay and jam calls ddie and says yo kwondo he
right here he right here and then ddie responds yo get him kill that nigga get him and said
please say it again get him that's what he said so dd responded to get him and said sorry is it
you responded to jim saying get him right
What did you understand that to mean?
Like, kill him, kill who, Kondo?
And did Jammer Vonny respond to Mr. Wilson saying that?
Vani was like, nah, nah, not out of this car.
So clearly they went into BMW and Vani, Vani cockblocked the murder.
Vani said, oh, hell, nah, not out of my car.
Oh, hell, no.
You niggas is tripping.
That's why we got a hot car for y'all.
Not out of this car.
What did you want to say that to mean?
Because that was the BMW was a rental.
He didn't want him to get killed out of that car, shot out the car.
Did you ever understand that the time while he didn't,
why you didn't want to shoot from the BMW?
You said it was a rental?
Yeah.
Would that have been an issue?
Because it came back to his name or whoever who got in it.
As opposed to the infinity, which was a hot car.
Yeah.
All right.
So after you hear someone in the car say, not out of this car, what happens next?
They said they was on their way to come get us.
And just to orient us, where did the conversation take place between D.D.
On one hand and Jam and Vonny on the other?
In the hotel room with him.
So that's the one y'all slept in, not Juano Rondo's hotel, right?
Yeah, the one we slept in.
Okay, and then someone says we're coming back, right?
Right.
So what happens next?
Probably like 10, 50 minutes later.
Boogie pulls up back with the infinity.
So Boogie pulls into the back of where with the infinity.
The hotel we slept in.
And do y'all get in the infinity?
Yes.
Who else got into the infinity?
Didi, brown eyes, Lindsay.
Oh, so okay.
So Didi got in the, so apparently Dedy got in the hot car at first.
So who was in the infinity at that point?
Me, Boogie, Browneyes, and D-D-D-D.
So at first, Jam isn't in the hot car.
Ooh, interesting.
And go somewhere in Infinity, right?
Yeah, where.
To meet Vani.
So they go link up with Vani.
To what?
Oh, oh, never mind, never mind.
Never mind.
Jam is in the BMW with Vani.
That's why, you know, the murder ain't happened.
Okay, so they go link up with Vani.
So how you know you were going to meet Vani?
Because he kept dropping his pin to Bougy.
Who's he?
Vani.
So you've seen Bougie receiving pins from.
Vonny like yeah he was dropping pins from his location he kept sending them can you explain dropping
what that means it's like dropping your location okay so what boogie's doing is he driving yeah he was driving
he was looking at his phone so boogie's driving the infinity and looking at his phone yes and he's receiving
locations from drop pins from bonny yeah where did you understand that vawny was um did you understand
what was no but he did you understand what car he was driving in yes which one the bmw so the two cars
are communicating through drop pins yes okay where do you go into infinity to some dispensary a
weed dispensary. Do you know what area of Los Angeles that was in? No. What are you wearing at the time?
The stuff I had on. Were you wearing the black hoodie? Oh yeah, the black hoodie. By the way,
there's a variation on the story in terms of the narrative. Vani is actually seen on camera.
Vani's seen on camera buying gloves. But according to Flaka, Keith Jones, he said they stopped at Walmart
aren't themselves before they met up with Vani and bought hoodies or black clothing and gloves.
So we got to figure out when did, when did Vani buy these, these gloves or whatever?
We know he supplied the guns.
We know he supplied the car.
But it was under the assumption that he supplied also the gloves and clothing.
Maybe we'll get more info on that soon, right?
Okay, cool.
So he says the stuff I had on, we were in the black, there, the black hoodie.
And where was your gun on the floor?
We're on the floor.
by my feet.
What gun did you have at that point?
One of the glocks.
The one of the extended clip?
Yeah, did Mr. Lindsay also have a gun in the car?
Yes, which one?
Okay, but he ended up when we left.
He had the Glock, but he ended up with the barretta.
So at some point he had the Glock, but he switched to Beretta?
Yes, who do he switch with?
Jam.
Okay.
And, you know, so did you, so you go to, you ever understand why the infinity?
Why went to a re-dispensual?
Yeah, why?
Because that is what it was, a dispensary.
Sorry, that was my fault.
Not why you called a weed dispensary.
Why did you go in the infinity to the weed dispensary?
Because that's where Vonny followed the truck to.
The truck that had Cuando in it to the infinity, meaning dispensary.
So you understand, why did you believe that Vani was following the truck that Cuano was in?
Because he said he was following it.
So you can hear in his voice.
Yeah.
So, chat, looked like this plan takes,
It kind of happens frantic.
These guys wake up.
Nobody got time to brush your teeth.
Nobody really has any time.
These three guys, or four guys, actually, they wake up.
And Vonny looked like he was out early with Jam scouting trying to find Cuando.
They find Cuando and they call Didi.
Didi, wake y'all ass up.
All y'all, wake y'all ass up.
We got the low.
We see him.
We see him.
We on their ass.
We on their ass.
Boogie looked like.
he was out scouring it too.
They said, yo, boogie's about to come back with a hot car.
Boogie's coming with the hot car.
Y'all get in the car.
And I'm going to keep dropping pins.
Y'all just follow me.
They go to a weed dispensure.
By the way, keep in mind here, Didi is still in the hot car.
Dedy doesn't end up in the hot car.
Remember, Dedy does no shooting.
Dedy's going to have to switch with Jam
because Jam is in the BMW.
I wonder if he's going to give that details
because they got to make that swap.
Because remember, Jam was saying he couldn't shoot out of BMW.
you so he had to eventually swap to the hot car okay all right because he said it was following you can
hear in his voice because he wasn't in your car was he yes all right when we got close to him he called him
and he told him was about a pull up and when we pulled up he said uh this is the dispensary and the truck
had pulled into the dispensary he said a truck pulled into the dispensary like it was a drive through
um but it came with a garage door but a garage door came up or something you keep saying he
but is it bonnie yes bonnie
Bonnie said the truck pulled into dispensary.
Yes.
And you're talking about Cuando's truck.
Yes.
Were you able to hear the conversation between Cuando and Boogie?
Yes.
Because it was a speaker?
Yes.
And y'all were in two different cars, though, right?
Yes.
And how do you know whether it was FaceTime video, audio, regular call?
I don't know.
So you just hear when he was on the phone.
I was just looking at the GPS.
Who was he?
Boogie.
You could see Boogie with your eyes?
Yes.
Where in the affinity are you?
I'm in the driver.
I'm in the passenger seat.
So front passenger, I'm imagine.
So when the infinity was at the dispensary,
you guys were looking for Cuando.
What were you doing at that point?
We pulled behind the BMW.
D-D got out.
See, got it.
Sorry, Chan.
D-D got out and went into the BMW.
Jam got out and went into the infinity.
Trade in places.
Got you.
So, D-D-Dames switched places.
Yes.
Let's orient ourselves now.
Who's in the infinity with you?
Me, brown eyes, D-D-D-Buggy.
He says, then we pulled up.
And he said, do you mean jamming boogie?
Oh, my bad, my bad.
Yes.
It says, no, we pull up.
We pull up to the BMW.
we switch. So, oh, okay, so after the switch,
who's in the affinity which you have to switch?
Me, Jam, Boogie, brown eyes.
Okay, so all three men with the guns are in the infinity?
Yes. Okay? So remember this story
that Jam says he heard Didi, like,
Dedy pointed the gun out of whatever?
That is no longer a thing.
That sounds like a story that probably was mixed up from when
they put the three guns in the sprinter.
Not sprinter, the three guns.
Yeah, they did put three guns in the sprinter.
And then they took him and then they got in a hot car.
Okay.
Okay.
Where's your gun at this point?
Still on the floor.
And who's in the BMW at this point?
Dedy and Vani.
Okay, just to make sure I have it.
At this point, sometime around when you're at the weed dispensary,
Vani and Dia are in the BMW.
Is that correct?
Yes.
And then you, Jam.
Mr. Lindsay and Boogie are in the infinity.
Yes.
All three guns are in the infinity.
Yes.
Did you see Mr. Lindsay and jam with their guns?
It wasn't paying attention like I didn't, but I knew they had them.
Were you thinking about it?
Nah, I was just thinking about it.
That nigga came out of that.
dispensary who's he quando rondo okay so you were thinking about catching quando yes would you have
would that have meant um what would have meant what would that have meant to you at that point
if you had caught and killed him what were you thinking about after if it would have happened
yeah if it was able to happen how would i be able to make it home and ask for my money did you did you
shoot or did you see quando at the weed dispensary no do you remember approximately how long you were
there? Like, are we talking five minutes, an hour? What's up? There's probably a couple of hours.
Okay, so a decent amount of time. Yes. So at some point, did you leave the infinity? Yes.
And where did you go? We left. We went to a store. We sat around because the truck had left
and dropped some people off. What truck? The Cadillac. Quando's truck? Yes. Okay, so what,
while were you waiting at the dispensary, there was communication between the infinity and the BMW?
Yes. Are they phone calls y'all were communicating through? Yes, because you're telling you
if it was regular phone call, FaceTime, FaceTime audio.
Can't tell.
Okay.
Who was talking from the BMW that you could hear on the phone?
I think it was Bonnie.
And there was a lot of communications while you were waiting.
I wouldn't say a lot, but it was a few.
And so you leave, and how did you know how Boogie knew where to go when you left the weed dispensary?
Were you following something?
The truck.
Which truck?
The truck that Kwanah was in.
So you could see the truck Kwanah was in.
Yeah.
When he left the weed dispenser, yeah.
When the BMW, where was the BMW that was following
when the infinity was following the truck?
It was in front of us.
So you could see the BMW as well.
There was like some cars in front.
So at that point, are you guys driving through what appears to be Los Angeles
following the truck?
Yes.
Could you please pull up exhibit?
All right, cool, cool.
What's that?
That looks like the truck.
They're looking at that picture where you see the vehicles.
Okay, let me just keep going down here.
Let me just keep going down.
All right.
All right.
All right, so let's oar and shit again.
So boogie's driving?
Yes.
Where's Mr. Lindsay?
He's behind the driver.
Where's Jam?
Behind me.
So, boogie, flaka, jam, brown eyes.
All right?
Those are the only four people in the car?
Yes.
Was there any discussion in the car to shoot at Cuando in traffic while y'all were driving?
Yes.
Tell us about discussion.
While we were driving, Jam was trying to shoot the side of the truck.
He was talking about shooting up the truck while we were driving.
driving. Okay, so to be clear, you said trying to shoot. Did he actually shoot? Nah, he said
that's what he wanted to do. And that was, and that was the response to what? And what was the
response to that? No. Who responded, no? The whole car said, oh, hell nah, Nick, we ain't about to
shoot up no shit on no, drive-bye. Okay. So, so, so why? It says, that's just, we all said no.
So why did you think it was a bad idea? Because you explained? Bad idea, because we don't know
if he was going to get Cuando. Okay, so as you are now following,
the BMW and the black truck, there are two cars.
I'm talking about the infinity.
Are y'all all in communication?
Yes, how?
Through the phone.
Could you hear somebody on the other end of the phone?
Yeah, while we're traveling next to him, no, I didn't.
And so while we're traveling next to him, no, I didn't hear.
But how do you know that there was phone calls between the cars?
Yes.
You're coordinating?
Okay, do you know if they're a regular call, blah, blah, blah.
I believe it was regular calls in.
Okay.
All right.
You can take that down.
Okay.
Now y'all get to, so the black truck stopped somewhere else.
Yes, it stopped at a babe store.
Babe store?
Yes, it's a clothing store.
What happened then?
I'm going to refer to Cuando's truck.
What happened with the truck when it stopped in front of the babe store?
We went around, I think, one or two blocks and then parked to the nearest corner by the side block by the store.
Did you see Cuando and his crew go into the store?
I seen the crew.
I didn't really see, like, visually see Kwondo, but I seen a bunch of people get out and go in.
Was there any discussion as you were, like, it sounds like you guys were going around the block?
Is there any discussion to shoot him in the store?
No.
All right.
At some point, the Cuando and the truck and the crew leave the babe store.
Yes.
Did y'all follow?
Yes, we did, but we ended up losing it.
Well, we didn't lose it, but we ended up getting side trap because it had turned off.
It had what?
It had turned.
So how did you find Cuando's truck again?
We sat there and seen where it turned to.
We went to the next block and began to cut it off.
But there was a lady with a baby there, so we ain't hop out.
Oh, shit.
These guys are great guys, man.
There's about to hop out and do-to-do.
But there's a baby.
There's a baby.
These killers have a heart.
These killers have a heart.
These killers have a heart, man.
Can't do it in front of the baby.
Can't do it, y'all.
Okay, and are the two cars in communication?
Yes.
I'll be clear.
Are the BMW Infinity communication?
Yes.
How do you know that?
Because Jam is on the phone.
Do you know who Jam is on the phone with?
That time, I don't know if it's Vonny or Didi.
Could you hear what they're talking about with either Vonny and Didi?
He kept saying, stay close.
Who said stay close?
Jam.
Jam.
Jam said stay close to Vonny and Deity?
Yeah.
Okay.
Do you ever understand why Vonny Jam would say that?
Yes.
Why?
For shots, if we started shooting, we'd be able to get in the car.
So look like they were going to abandon that car to get in the other car.
So what was the plan to go into BMW after the shooting?
Yes.
Why was that the plan?
because he said he was going to
and Boogie said he was going to dump the car afterwards.
Dump the infinity?
Yes, that's the hot car.
Okay.
All right.
At some point does Cuando truck pull into a gas station?
Yes.
Do you see it pulling to a gas station?
No, I don't think we've seen it, but we drove past it.
It was sitting there.
Like it was pulling in, but it was just sitting there.
But when we pulled past it, it had been sitting there.
Okay, so you saw the truck at the gas station.
Yes.
So at that point, was there discussion about people in the...
infinity where you were to that is then third so what was the discussion be there we about to get to
start shooting okay sorry could you please say it again be near because we're about to get to
star shooting so they told the bmw stay close we bought to light these niggins up all right bet and he said
who said be near we about to get star shooting um jam jam said that yes did you hear a response on the other
end no and again do you know what this was all right i don't know what it is um what happens next the truck is
in the gas station we pull in, we pull back out, and I believe we pulled back in again and went
around the corner, and we came through a T alley. So, oh, okay, one second. All right, let's put up
this thing. They showed the thing of the gas station, and they circle it. And so, what's that?
It's that Squandos truck. And you say you drove past the infinity in the infinity? Do you recognize
this vehicle? Yes. What is that? The infinity we were in. So you drove past this way.
Was the discussion what's going to happen next? Not really. So what does happen next? Boogie pulls out.
Like I said, I believe we came back in. We probably didn't.
But we went past twice.
Then he pulled around and came through the alley through the side.
Okay, can you pull up this?
And they show like the alley or whatever.
Okay, so shortly after, it says, this was where you were driving past the truck.
Yes, Cuando's truck, who made a decision to get out the car?
Boogie said he was going to pull in the alley so we could hop out.
So who hopped out first?
I don't remember.
I think we all got out at the same time, but I don't remember.
Are you in this photograph?
Please circle yourself.
Can you identify the other people in the,
the photograph, Jam and Lindsay.
How do you know it was jammed?
Because I was with him.
And do you recognize anything about what he's wearing?
Some red prodders.
So, okay, who's the other individuals?
Lindsay.
And now you know that's Lindsay, because I was with him.
Okay.
Here it goes.
Please circle you.
So he's circling.
He's doing a lot of identifying.
Here we go.
So all three, I shot?
So, yeah.
How do you know that?
Because I heard and seen all the guns,
all three guns go off.
Did your gun go off?
Yeah.
Did you know the same thing about your gun when it went off?
It was a burst to it.
Okay.
What do you mean by my burst?
I pulled the trigger once and it just kept shooting.
It's a switch.
Can you, if someone was familiar with a gun, what does that mean?
I pulled a trigger, he shot multiple times.
So sometimes the glock that you carried in Chicago, if you pull the trigger, what would happen?
And shoot once, semi-automatic.
Okay, we could skip past this.
I gave you a little bit of education on it.
So when I pulled the trigger, it went off multiple times.
You know how many times?
Probably like four or five or six.
He says, what do you mean go off?
Bullets came out of the gun?
Yes, it was back to back to back.
How quick?
Quick.
What did that mean?
mean to you. What did that understand?
It had burst. Yeah, it was modified with a switch.
What's the switch? It's a modification. A auto seer, by the way.
That makes you shoot like a machine gun. Okay, when he press the trigger once at the
burst, blah, blah, that was your gun. When you fired the gun, were you pointing towards
yet nobody. He said, I was just pointing towards a truck.
Why were you pointing it towards a truck? Because I ain't see nobody.
But who were you trying to shoot? Kondo.
What? You were trying to kill Kewando? Yes. When you shot, yes.
So after you shot, what happens next? We run back to the infinity. And then we drive off.
to part the car.
All right, so this guy's admitting they just,
the car is parked,
they just shot the car up.
Okay.
Was there any discussion as you drove away?
Like what the plan was to get to the BMW?
And again,
because you remind us why that was the plan
because he wanted to ditch the infinity.
Who was he, boogey?
And so did you guys ditch the infinity?
Yes, where did I go?
We got out and started walking.
I called Didi.
Didi told me to drop my pin.
I didn't know how to drop a pin,
so Boogie dropped his pin,
but I don't know if it was to him or to Vani
and we got picked up.
So let's again break this down.
So after the shooting, Infinity drives away, you have a conversation with Wilson, yes.
And that conversation said, pick me up, okay?
All right, cool.
It's an objection, but they keep going.
All right.
I don't remember where it was at, but it was at a house that was for sale.
Did you go into the house?
Did you get into the house?
No, we sat in the front.
What happens next?
Vonny ordered an Uber truck.
Do you know, so how do you know he ordered an Uber truck?
because he told us he was going to order it and he was on his phone ordering it.
So you saw Vonny in person.
Yeah, I got in the BMW with him.
Just so we're understanding the chronology here.
So the infinity parks, sounds like out in front of a house.
No, that's the BMW.
But you're in the Infinity, though, right?
Well, we parked in the Infinity, got out, and then we got into BMW.
So you got into BMW.
All right, cool.
And the BMW met us.
Okay.
Then it's me, jam, boogie, Lindsay.
And then what happened?
We drove to some house.
I was for sale.
Vani ordered an Uber truck.
Um, so, so was there or where'd you meet the, the BMW?
He says at some point we got dropped, it's an uh-huh, okay.
At some point where you dropped off by the infinity and the BMW met you near there.
Okay.
Was that close to the gas station shooting?
It was a little bit, a little distance.
It wasn't like right around the corner.
But how do you remember approximately how long you drove for, like four or five minutes,
an hour?
Like, what's up?
Now, I probably for like five, like five minutes.
When you were all in the BMW, now you've parked the infinity.
Right?
Yes.
Okay.
So before the Uber, there wasn't any conversation while you're in the BMW.
Diddy ask, did we get them?
Who's in the BMW at the time?
Everybody.
Who's everybody?
Me, Vani, Didi, Boogie, Lindsay, Jam.
What does Mr. Wilson say?
Did we get him?
Did you get them?
Yeah.
Did anybody respond?
Said we ain't know.
Who said that?
Everybody.
Did you say that?
Yeah.
What about Mr. Lindsay?
I believe he said that's two.
And what about Jam?
Yeah.
So how long?
So how long then are you in the BMW until you get to the house with the sale?
That's up for sale.
This drive is like 10, 15 minutes.
What happens then?
He orders an Uber truck.
Okay.
Who orders Uber?
Vani.
Okay.
What type of truck was it?
It was a black truck.
I don't remember it was a Chevy or Cadillac, but it was a black truck.
Similar to the one of Cuano was in?
Yeah.
But we're not talking about the same car, though.
Nah.
Once Uber coming, where do you go?
We stayed in the car.
Which car?
The BMW?
And where do you go to?
He said, I stayed in the car.
So he stayed in the BMW.
In and Out.
So, okay, whatever, whatever.
All right, they go to in and out.
Who was in the Uber?
Oh, only the, this is a jam, boogie, and Lindsay.
Okay.
What happened when you got there?
Well, let me ask you this.
Was there any conversation about the shooting when you and Mr. Lindsay,
you, Mr. Lindsay and Cuzz were driving in the BMW?
He asked me what happened.
Who, Didi?
And what did you say?
The answer is Didi
What did you say?
Bonnie
And Bonnie
Okay
And I just said that we got it from the gas station
Lindsay just started shooting
And we started shooting behind him
Can you describe Mr.
DeMean,
Mr. Wilson's demeanor was
Was he acting like in a BMW?
I want to say he wasn't as geeky
But he was just like
Trying to figure out what happened
And where's your gun at this point?
I left it in the car
The car, the infinity
Do you know where Mr. Lindsay gun was?
No. You know where a jam gun was? No. So this guy left the gun in the car.
Okay. Then they get to in and out. Then they're at the airport.
Okay. They mentioned Cokin Spirot 3, which is Jason.
And it says, who was talking about booking flights?
So, Didi was saying he was talking to Jason. So how do you know that?
Because Jason is the one that always books flights.
Said objections, all right? And they overruled it.
So how did you get your ticket from the kiosk again?
The kiosk at the airport? Yes.
Which airport did you go to? San Diego. Do you ever understand that you were flying out of Los Angeles?
Yeah, because we were going to the same airport. It was hot again. So it would be hot leaving out of L.A.
What do you mean hot? What do you mean by that? Police laws.
And how did you get down to San Diego airport, the black Uber truck that brought them to in and out?
That brought jamming them to in and out? Yes. So when you're sitting in the Uber, do you recall, I'm in the front seat. Okay?
And do you remember any conversation that happened in the Uber? We didn't have it.
have any okay you don't remember any we were probably joking or something but we were we
weren't talking about the murder you don't remember any conversations about the murder no remember
there's a driver so they wouldn't talk about the murder in front of the driver all right
all right all right all right all right any discussion about the murder yes can you tell us
about those discussion ddd is on instagram jam is on instagram and it says quando was shot and one of
his family member was killed okay so you saw dd on instagram and he told you he was on
Instagram. He showed you what? His phone. And when he said when he showed you his phone,
he had just had a smirk on his face, like a smile. Remind us of what phone and what was on the
phone in when he had a smirk on. It was, it said, Kondo got shot and his cousin was killed.
Okay, but what about Jam? What did he say? He was just smiling and laughing. Did you ever
understand of why he was smiling and laughing? Because somebody got killed. What did it mean to you
that somebody had gotten killed? What did it mean to you personally?
I guess it meant that I was going to get paid.
Were you paid?
No.
We'll come back to that in a little bit.
What about Mr. Lindsay?
Did he say nothing at the airport?
He said, yo, he asked Dedy about him getting paid.
Mr. Lindsay said, asked Lindsay about what?
About to ask Dirk about the money.
Can you tell us, recall what Lindsay said to Wilson?
He says, are you going to make a call and shit about the money?
And the question says, make a call to who?
Dirk.
Okay, Mr. Wilson at the airport, we're talking about on the way back to Chicago,
so the San Diego airport, yeah.
He asked Mr. Wilson if Mr. Wilson was going to make a call to Dirk about the money.
Yeah, the money for what?
The money for the killing.
How did Mr. Wilson respond?
He told him, all right.
He told him what?
He told him all right.
So at some point did you go back to Chicago?
Yeah.
Who was on a plane back?
All of us except Vani.
Who is all of us?
Me, boogie, jam, Dedy, Lindsay.
All on the same plane, going back.
Okay, so I want to jump ahead in a bit.
We discussed at the beginning that you are currently detained in a federal facility, correct?
Yes.
That is because you have pled guilty to federal crimes.
Yes.
Related to murder.
Yes.
And I want to talk about the day you were arrested.
Do you remember that day?
Yes.
Was it on October 24, 2024?
Yes.
Okay.
Can you tell us about the morning what happened?
I woke up to flashbangs.
To what?
To flashbangs.
Was that from the FBI?
Yes.
Did the FBI take you in custody?
Yes, what happened next?
They drove me to the FBI place on Roosevelt.
Okay, and what happened to the FBI place?
They questioned me.
They questioned you about the murder.
About the murder of Savar Robinson?
Yes.
Did you speak to them when they were questioning you?
Yeah.
Was it short?
Was it five minutes?
Was a couple hours?
How long did it take?
I think it was a couple of hours.
Do you know if it was recorded?
I believe it was.
Okay, were you truthful in your interview?
No.
Hmm.
Why were you not truthful?
Because once they said LAPD, I knew what it was about.
at that point, did you have an attorney?
No.
Was an attorney in the room with you?
No.
And tell some of the things that you were untruthful about during this interview,
about carrying a gun, about knowing Dirk, about reason why I flew to L.A.
Okay, so basically he's saying that, and they're doing this to preempt the cross-examination.
He said when he first got, you know, caught by the cops, he just lied.
So you told a bunch of lies in this interview.
Yes. That was the morning you got arrested. Yeah. One of the things you said about knowing dirt, you lied about that too, right? Yeah. Why? Because I knew what it was about and I knew he was the reason. So I tried to distance myself and said, I ain't know him. Why would you want to distance yourself from defendant banks? Why did you want to distance yourself? Why did you want to distance yourself? Because I knew about the murder once they, it was a, I knew, because I knew about the murder once they said LAPD. Okay, but why did you want to distance yourself? Objection. Asked an accident.
answered, overruled. For what reason did you want to distance yourself? It was a lot going on.
The police, the people, and then it was like it was about the murder. I tried to get my way up
on out of it, but I say, I ain't know him. I meant him only once. Okay, so let's jump back to August
2022 or after the murder. We were just talking about your arrest in October 24, so I want to go back
to now to the murder, okay? When you get back to Chicago, you get back to Chicago that night, right?
Yeah. Did you have any conversation? Let's start with Didi. Any conversation with Didi? When you get back?
Yeah, tell us about the conversation.
I ask him if he was going to see about that money.
Yo, that nigger flock about that bread, man.
He bought that scrella.
As soon as he stopped pressing the trigger, he's like, what's up with the bread, man?
What's up with the bread?
What's up with the bread?
It says, ask Dirk about the money.
It said, for the killing in LA, it said, how much did you expect to receive after the killing?
So close to a million dollars
And so how did Mr. Wilson respond?
He said, all right.
Then he was like, just talk to him when you see him.
Okay.
So it looked like Dede's saying, yeah, yeah, nah, you're going to get your million.
Just talk to Dirk when you see him.
Mr. Wilson said, just talk to him when you see him.
Yeah, when he comes back to Chicago.
Have you ever, like, you know, had in person with him before the murder?
In person's conversation?
No.
Have you ever been close to him?
Like friends?
No.
Like close proximity for a short.
show? Yeah. Objection. Leading. Overruled. So you've been in one of his shows before. Yeah. Can you turn to this
exhibit? Blah, blah, blah. Okay, cool. Do you recognize this picture? It was one of his shows. Was it before the
murder? I believe so. And you're in the picture? Yes. How do you know you're in the picture?
You see, I see myself. Okay. Let's put this exhibit in whatever. Um, cool. Can you publish?
So you say you saw yourself in a picture. Where's Mr. Banks? Is this at a show?
Do you remember what show this is?
Okay?
But he said that was before the murder, though.
Huh?
Hmm.
He said, yeah, that's the United Center.
That's the United Center?
Yeah, it's a large venue in Chicago.
That's where the Bulls play and the Blackhawks play.
So it's a big arena.
All right.
Are you on stage in this picture?
Yeah, how you get on stage from Didi.
What do you mean from Didi?
Didi was the reason I was there.
They told us all to come on stage.
So Didi invited you to the concert.
Was Didi there as well?
Yes.
And they said you could get on stage?
I believe the manager.
You testified and they said you can take that down.
I believe you said you had a friendship with Diti, right?
Did Didi ever talk about Mr. Banks?
Objection.
Says, sustain.
Do you haven't understand whether Mr. Banks and Dedy were close?
Yes.
And what was that based on?
Did you see them interact?
Yes.
All right.
So we had just talked about, we looked at this picture.
We looked at this picture after the murder.
you ask Mr. Wilson about getting paid.
Yes.
And when Mr. Wilson told you, correct me if I'm wrong,
then you should bring it up with Mr. Banks.
So Mr. Wilson told you, correct me if I'm wrong.
You should bring it.
Okay.
Yes.
What was your response to that?
I said, all right, but I didn't know when the next time I was going to see him,
right, because how frequently do you see him in the past?
Not a lot.
Did you push back on Wilson at all?
Did you follow up?
I kept asking him about it.
Then he said that,
All right, all right.
I just let...
Then when he said that, I said, all right, I left it at that.
All right.
At some point, he'd bring up the conversation again.
No.
After he said, just talk to him when he get back to Chicago.
I said, all right.
Was there a time that you saw Mr. Banks in Chicago?
Yeah, when was that?
I don't remember when.
Was it like after?
Yeah, a couple weeks after the murder, a month or two.
It was probably I seen him months afterwards,
but I never said nothing to him.
because it was a bunch of people around just all around smiling, taking pictures.
So you mean fans being fans?
So you've seen him once.
Was this in Chicago?
Yeah.
Was there something happening that you saw him?
I think they had a video.
Okay, and you were present around the time the video was shot.
Yeah.
Did you have a conversation with Mr. Banks?
No, why not?
Because there was a lot of people around him.
So you've seen Mr. Banks.
Did you see him any point after that?
Yes.
Where?
At the W. Hotel.
Why were you at the W. Hotel?
I was invited by D.D.
So you went.
You went to the W Hotel or no, you're invited by D.D.
to the W. Hotel, yeah.
And Mr. Banks was there.
Yeah.
Who else was there?
There was a few people more in the room.
So do you remember approximately how many people that was in the room?
Probably six or seven, six, seven.
And there was an event around this time?
Do you remember something going on?
Yeah, what was it?
He had two shows at the United Center back to back.
Who was he?
Dirk.
So around the time of this hotel,
Dirk had two shows at the United Center.
Yes, and to be clear, that picture we saw before was also the United Center.
But it was not the same time we were talking about.
Okay, okay, I forgot Dirk had had three shows.
Dirk had one show before, and a couple months later, he announced two shows.
He canceled his tour, and he announced two shows back to back at the United Center.
So the picture was before.
He says, no, that picture was before, before the murder.
Okay, so we're talking about two different shows at the United Center.
Yes.
Yes, all right.
Okay, so he went to the hotel, just take us through that.
How did you get up there?
Who were you with?
I was with Didi.
Somebody came in a key car, brought us upstairs.
What room was it?
It was a hotel room, but I don't know.
It wasn't a regular room.
Spacious. Did you have a conversation with Mr. Banks? Yeah. Can you tell me how it came about? Like, did you just approach him where y'all sitting down, describe it? I approached him and I asked him, was he going to look out for me for the shooting in L.A.? What did he say to him? Are you still going to look out for me for the L.A. shooting? And so you guys, there's nobody else around you guys, I guess? Yeah, who else is around? I don't know the people that are around, but it was nobody, but like two people. Okay, but you're talking directly.
with Banks, right? Yeah, there was music on, so I don't believe they heard us. So this is kind of a
private or personal conversation. Yeah. How does Banks respond to your question? He says he got me,
but he was like y'all should have gotten up on him. He did this like, like y'all should have got up
on him. So he's showing a hand signal. So we would have hit Cuando, not and not who got hit. So let's
break this down. The first thing you heard correctly was I got you. Yeah, he said, I got you. What does that
mean, I got you. Like, he's going to give me some money. And what's the next thing he said? He said
that we should have gotten up on him. And you did something with your hands as you were explaining
that. What did Banks do with his hands as he was saying that? He was demonstrating, like, you should
have gotten up close, like this, like this. Are you explained what you're doing with your hand? Yes,
it's a gun. So Mr. Banks had put his fingers in the shape of a gun that you should have gotten up closer.
What did that mean? Because Cuando ain't get hit. It was his cousin that got killed. What was his demeanor?
What was he acting like?
He was smiling.
The banks give you money in the hotel room?
No.
Did he give anybody else money in the hotel room?
No.
So what happens next?
How do you respond to his statements?
He said, I got you after the show.
He said, after the show?
Yeah, after the show.
Which show?
The United Center.
And did you go to the show?
Yeah.
Do you remember where you sat?
Were you backstage?
Objection leading.
Did you see him at the concert?
Yeah, where?
Backstage.
Did you have special access to go backstage?
Yes.
Do you know how you receive that?
from a from from i forgot the guy but it's an african dude a big african dude i think it was a manager
i think that's the guy ola another manager of who um dirk so somebody got you access back to the
defendant in the backstage well dd got me backstage but the african guy got me access to move
around throughout the whole building okay so mr wilson got you backstage but the other type of
access you needed you got from a manager you thought it was a manager of him yes did you talk to banks of
the concert briefly tell us about the
that conversation. I asked him if he
still was going to look out for me. He said yes.
And when he said,
when you said, are you going to still look out for me?
What did you mean by that? Like, give me some money.
And how did he respond to that? He said, yeah, he got me.
But he said, I got you after the show.
So I figured he was going to do it the next show.
Because it was a two-night concert, right? Yeah.
So did you go back to the second night? Yeah. Tell us what happened then.
The show was over with. We went,
we followed the trucks to the airport where the private jets leave.
And he said, sorry, break that down for a second.
We follow the trucks, who's we?
Multiple people.
Were you with Mr. Wilson?
Yes, he was there.
I don't remember if he was in the car with me.
But he said at some point, okay, I wonder if he was in the car with me, though.
So at some point the concert ends, right?
Yeah.
So the concerts had ended at this point.
Yes.
And Mr. Bank left the arena.
Yes.
Do you know what's going?
Yes.
Where was he going?
To the airport, to the private jets, to the hangar or something.
How did you know he was going to the hangar?
They said it was going to leave.
Who's they?
Multiple people at the show.
All right.
So it sounds like you followed them.
Yes.
And when you eventually follow him, you ended up at the private jet hangar.
Yes, tell us what happens there.
So he's there.
A bunch of people are there.
He's in a truck and he's passing out money.
Sorry, who's passing out money?
Dirk is in a truck and he's passing out money to people.
Okay, so you see Mr. Banks in the truck.
Okay.
A black Cadillac truck?
No, he said black Cadillac truck.
And what is he doing?
Passing out money to people.
Okay, what next?
I approach him.
I ask him, did he still have me?
He said he ain't want to be seen giving a large amount of money
to seem giving me a large amount of money.
So he said, I'm going to have Booney Moe, look out for you.
I'm going to have Booney Moe Moe give it to you.
So again, let's break this down.
You're a private jet hanger.
You see Defending Banks handing out money.
He said, do you know what denomination and currency was?
He said probably hundreds, but it wasn't like a large lump sum of money.
So it was a smaller amount of cash.
Yes.
And you've seen this with your own eyes.
Yes.
and you then you approach the truck?
Yes, and where's Banks at this point?
He's in the back seat.
What do you say to him?
I ask him if you're going to look out for me.
What do you mean by that?
Give me some money.
So this is like the third time you've asked over this span.
Yeah, like the third or the fourth time.
Probably the third.
In a span of two days, yeah.
And what happened next?
He said, I'm going to have Booney Moe.
All right, who's Booney Moe?
He's an OTF rapper.
Have you met him before?
Yes.
Did you see him at the private jet hangar?
Yes.
Okay, so after the defendant, Banks said that,
I'm going to have OTF Booney Moe give you some money.
What happens next?
He hops out the truck.
He talks to Booney, but I didn't hear what they were saying.
I seen him look at me, but I seen Booney Moot,
but I seen Booney Moot look at me.
Then Dirk walks off from him and he approaches me and says,
I'm going to give you 10 in a couple days.
And I said, 10?
Then he says, he say give you 20.
But I don't know if he was lying or he just made up his own number.
So Keith Jones said he don't know if the guy's lying, Bouty Mow's line, right?
Let's break that down.
So it sounds like, did Mr. Banks ever, it sounds like he got out of the truck.
Yeah.
Who did he go talk to?
Boney Mow.
Could you hear what they were discussing?
No.
Did one of them approach you after the conversation?
Yes, Boney Moe.
Okay, where the banks go?
I believe he went in the airport.
Okay, did you have another conversation with Mr. Banks?
No.
Boneymo approaches you in person.
Yes, what he says.
I'm going to give you tenant in a couple days.
10,000.
Would you respond to this?
I just looked at him and I was looking at him like,
Nick, are you for real?
Why?
Because I thought it would have been way more than 10,000.
Why did you think that?
Because of what I was told back when it happened.
So what was your reaction when Booney says, I'm going to give you 10?
It was like, okay?
I mean, were you surprised?
Were you angry?
I was surprised.
I was kind of pissed.
Okay, so how did you respond?
I just said, all right.
But I'm like, but when he said 10, I'm like, that's it?
He was like, he told me he would give you 20.
But I don't know if he told him.
Like I say like, you know, I don't have he told him a different number.
So Booney said that Banks, if I'm correct, Banks told him give him 20.
Yeah.
So Boone and then Boone says, I'm going to give, I'm only going to give you 10.
answer is
I'm going to give you 10 in a couple days
and then afterwards I'm going to give you another 10
so you're going to split up the payment yes
did Boone ever give you any money no
did you ask Booney for the money yes
approximately how many times a lot of times
probably five times six times
damn now this thing
doesn't ask Nick yo they asked him to go do the shooting
one time he did it
he asked for his money 10 times
he ain't get it bro
what was his response he's time
He had to do this.
He had to do that.
He always an excuse.
Did you ever talk to Lindsay about payment?
Yeah.
What about that conversation?
I was just asking me, nigga, you got paid?
He said no.
It was sounding like they was playing with him.
Like they was playing with us.
Who's they?
Man, Dirk, Dedy, the OTF little crew.
So to this day, have you been paid any money for the murder?
No.
Does that upset you?
Are you angry about that?
I was, but I let it go.
Why?
Because I haven't gotten.
I'm not going to get paid.
I just look at it as a loss.
So you mentioned that you pled guilty
to crimes arising from the murder
of Savi Robinson, correct?
Yeah.
As part of plea agreement,
do you come to cooperate with the government?
Yeah.
Are you hoping, based on your cooperation,
are you hoping for a reduction in your sentence?
Yeah.
Do you have any idea what your sentence is going to get?
No.
Do you know
who will determine your ultimate sentence?
Mr. Fitzgerald?
Judge Fitzgerald?
Yes.
Has anyone from the government, FBI,
U.S. Attorney's Office made any promises to you
about what sentence you'll receive? No.
Has anybody made any promises to what sentence you will receive
at all? No. Who is it up to?
Judge Fitzgerald. No further questions, y'all. No further
questions. All right. We're done with the
direct. Holy shit.
Spicy. Spicy.
So we kind of got the story there, chat.
Remember, Vani's on the stand still.
We want to get an update.
So we're reading the testimony from yesterday.

So yesterday, prosecutor circled Rondo's Black Escalade and the White Infinity.
driving on the side of each other, okay?
Flacco was like, Jayne was trying to shoot at the car.
Okay, okay, that's from yesterday.
Okay, so back to Vonny.
We got to stay, so staying with today is all about Vonnie.
So, okay, OTIAvani testifying court, how he moved up and two others was in a track hawk vehicle
and got on foot and shot at Cuando and crew.
Okay, so it's, oh, okay, so Otey Avani testified.
Chad, didn't I, yeah, I knew.
was skeptical when they said that
Dirk was down there shooting. I'm like,
come on, bro. Dirk ain't down there shooting,
bro. They said, Vani,
Moo-Wop, and two others
were in a track hawk.
They were stalking Kwondo.
They hopped out the car
and they shot
at, they got on foot and shot
at Kwondo. Wait, never
mind. This isn't the gas station shooting. Never mind.
not the gas station shooting. Damn.
So they got on foot.
So Vonie, so
Vani and then was, was, wow, okay.
In May of 2021, at 3 a.m.,
Vonny said he does not remember the names of the other two people with him.
The defense motion to submit a podcast segment between DJ academics and Little Dirk was denied today.
Wait, wait, hold on.
Wait, what?
Oh, never mind.
Fuck.
No.
Damn.
The defense wanted to use the podcast.
Damn, the defense wanted it.
The defense motion.
So the defense is Drew Finland, so they wanted to use a podcast.
Damn, I wish they could use it then.
It clearly was going to help Dirk somehow.
The defense motion to submit a podcast segment of Dij Academics and Little Dirk was denied today.
The defense wanted to submit this into evidence after the podcast clip was played yesterday in court of Tkachi 69 Dij Academics and Wack 100.
They said OTIA Vonnie discussed there being a memorial for King, Vaughn, after he died.
They said, was Obloch present?
Vani says yes, what's Obloch?
Parkway Garden, 64 and King Drive.
It's a set of the Black Disciples.
Let's see what Traplow Ross has tweeted.
Why did they deny?
They accepted one of my podcasts for the government,
and then Dirk wants to use another one of the podcasts.
Me and his interview, they tell him no.
It's a young boy mentioned numerous times in court.
Dirk said in the message to OTF members.
He thought YB shooters would have slid if it was the other way around.
He said, I don't see no pressure.
If it was YB Shorties, they would be outsliding every night.
How we got the low on him, motherfucker?
Guess what?
He at the club like he ain't getting shot.
He ain't got shit to worry about.
Didn't Dirk have a lyric like that?
Didn't Dirk have a, like, yo, he in the club?
What's that song called?
Dirk has a song where he's taught him how somebody posted in the club.
Nothing is pissed me off.
Yeah. Yeah.
At least you know, Dirk was, he was rapping about his exact mind state, man.
He said, you ain't get back for your man's.
You in the club like he ain't dead.
Nike ski mask for the COVID.
The only time you niggas wear it.
Yeah, this was before the drill.
This is him cussing out all of his guys.
He's cussing out his own man's.
You ain't get back for your man's, you in the club like he ain't dead.
Nike ski mask for the COVID, the only time you niggas wear it.
Niggas ran inside my crib, but the Glock 10 was by the bed.
I get my gun to em you before I put it in your hand.
I lost, bro, I can't be happy till we creep up on the scope.
I know niggas act like they're with it, but they bitch is on the low.
Yeah, Dirk was getting at his niggas, man.
Why are you posting sun-son?
Why are you niggins posting true?
Why you niggas act like you support us?
If you do, then hop in that coop.
Grab a gun if you ain't with it.
Grab a gun if you ain't with it, put up money for a gun.
And if you ain't with it, put up money for a gun.
And if you ain't with it, put up money for a gun.
Put up money for a hot car.
Put up money for a bond.
I don't see you on the regular, but I see you streaming Vaughn.
Boy, no cap.
I got killers that I love and they don't rap.
Boy, no cap.
I got rappers that I love and they're going to splat.
Man, if I died, just don't lie.
Man, you niggas better slide.
Oh, this was an oblock.
This song.
He was this and obloat, niggas of this.
Remember, Vaughn had the song with Favio 4 and King Vaughn.
five year foreign,
I am what I am.
I am what I am.
Okay?
And on this song,
you have, you have, um,
King Vaughn saying,
I am what I am.
What I'm not, I'd never be.
Niggas whooping,
whooping until we meet.
Catch him lacking, put him on TV.
And if you should die,
I'm boosting a murderer.
rate. Okay, my niggies going to slide every day. That's what he said. And if he dies, he boosts
the murder rate. His niggas going to slide every day. So that's why Dirk is dropping this,
this song. He said, man, if I die just don't lie, man, man, you niggas better slide. If you can't
get the main nigga, then you better get his guys. Okay? Now, he really, now, this is the
O-Block this song. I never even, I never thought about it like that. I just thought it was that
all the guys, but this is that O-Block, nigga. They said O'Block was doing no sliding, gang,
sliding man he says
he says
I pop pills on till I pass out I'm about to crash out
mention broding him on your live
now he can laugh now and my favorite
gun to switch you know that shit
you know that shit uh I thought that shit
it's a that shit's a cannon
you know that shit
a kinda
I don't care about who you with little nigger
nobody get time out
damn
that's a ruthless lyrics I don't care about who
He don't care if you with your kids, your mom.
Said, nobody get a time out.
Said, four of them slide the next day.
This shit cannot die down.
Bro, them from a different state.
Act like they from the rack now.
Oh, he got switches.
Oh, he got bitches.
You know the shit before the gram.
I keep my distance.
See, that's why he say.
He was saying, man, there's a bunch of fake shooters around it, man.
He wasn't with it, man.
Dirk was not with it, man.
Dirk was not with it.
Oh, my God.
Yo, chat, whack is.
I think people don't try to call whack a snitch so much times, bro.
Wack is mad sensitive to like any in insinuation that he is like the police or something.
Anyway, I've seen a dope edit.
I seen a dope edit of like my stream yesterday.
And they put an edit to get.
I'm going to play the edit.
But they put a caption over it saying Wack 100 played a role in dirt going to prison.
Now, I couldn't crop this out.
So I just took someone else's video.
I just posted it.
But Wack is like,
yo, bro, what's, like, what you?
And I'm like, like, whack.
Nobody actually thinks you really sent Dirk to the, come on.
Anyway, he was like,
why would you post that?
Yo, he's hyper-sensitive.
Anyway, I played a clip.
The reason why I like, I like the clip is like,
it kept doing this back and forth shit.
Now, in reality, did Dirk,
did, um,
Wack have a role?
No.
And the joke and the troll I was saying to Wack yesterday was,
Wack, you kind of pinned 6-9 down to not have any answer to your question
because Wack basically set to 6-9.
Yo, 6-9, if you were really a gangster, niggas kidnapped you, niggas robbed you,
you wouldn't have told on them.
You'd have picked up your pistol, nigger, and slid.
That's what a real nigger would do.
6-9 was kind of like trapped.
He was trapped in like, how do you answer to that?
And he used Dirk as a way to get out.
He says, yo, it's crazy.
You're right.
You say, you know what?
I didn't do that because I was the leader of the gang or I was the money man to send third.
He says, crazy how y'all say that, though, that I should have slid if da-da-da-da, rather than tell him, why don't you y'all get with the same energy with Dirk?
Tell Dirk to go slide.
His man got killed.
Tell him to go slide.
So the joke was, like the kind of the troll was, Wack,
it's really because of you that slide for Vaughn was born.
Because, you know, 6-9 takes credit that slide for Vaughn was born,
which, by the way, fans started at first,
but 6-9 kind of made it popular.
So everyone was saying they're giving credit to 6-9,
and I'm like, nah, maybe we need to give credit to Wack,
because Wack asked the question that 6-9 had to use this fucking analogy,
and that's how it was born.
But I think Wack is triggered by this.
I guess this is not a good look, right?
Wack played a role in dirt going to jail.
Okay, if you listen to the video, he doesn't play no fucking rower.
He actually says he don't even owe Vaughn.
And I think we owe 6'9 an apology.
Whack, this was all your fault.
I got to be honest.
You said something to 6'9, and you put him in a corner that him bringing up Dirk was the only thing.
You said to 6'9.
Oh, let me tell you what ain't gangster.
This is why I looked in your eyes and tell you, stop trying to portray something you not.
The fact that you knew the exact motherfucker who kidnapped you and robbed you and you waited on another motherfucker to handle it.
And you didn't go handle it yourself.
You know why you didn't handle it yourself?
Because you didn't come up with them grass roots of knowing how to handle it and handling that type of shit.
See, at this age right here, I didn't did it all from the top to the bottom, from the elementary shit to the serious shit.
So I can convert right now at this second back to a foot soldier because that's,
That's where I come from, right?
And I spend many years down there, right?
So what I'm telling you is the fact that you knew exactly who the fuck did,
what they did to you, and you didn't go handle it is the reason why I tell you,
you're a civilian.
And I love that.
And that's the realest shit you ever said this interview.
Watch this.
Remember what you just said.
I love how you got pick and choose politics, right?
Yo, six-nine.
You know who kidnapped you.
Why didn't you go do it?
sign right right right all eyes on me I've already got Chinniks on payroll right
all eyes on me I'm the funds right I'm the head of the fucking machine they take out the
head this whole operation goes out right why the fuck would I go out there you right if if I if I
was cut from the same cloth you cut from that you say you cut from I would have went
to did it myself right but the same way you call me out they know the exact same
I'm not bringing this off topic let me just get this on my chest they know it the
exact nigga that I put a fucking 10 bullets in Kingbourne and he died there by himself why
nobody slits for that nigga I don't see you on Instagram saying yo
let me let me let me what I say it don't you want this thing in a clash out hold on hold on
hold on hold on hold on what is thinking I'm sure let me get real with you I'm
me be real with you I just don't see you on Instagram say you
Listen, I discovered King Vine.
Now, no, I don't want to talk about King Bond.
So I don't know.
I don't know, no politics.
And listen.
Why is this thinking I slotted on a nigga?
How do you know what they doing?
Just because it ain't publicized on social media, how you know, how, wait, wait, how you know.
If we didn't have this conversation, how you know I didn't try to get that man shot numerous times?
See, it ain't no trying about what you did do or didn't do.
And I wouldn't expect you to do it.
And I think we owe $6.9.
No, I've never seen $6.9 more frustrated.
I think he said, what the fuck?
Anyway, anyway, all right.
I think Wack getting the joke part of it now.
But yeah.
I think so many people would be trying to call whack the cops.
I think Wack is a little bit like, man, I think you stop calling me that, bro.
Anyway.
Okay, okay.
So now Finland is going to jump in.
We are going to, remember, we're reading the shooters.
testimony, that's flaca.
By the way, they described them yesterday as
believable. That's what came across.
They said, it didn't seem like he was putting sauce on it.
It came off believable.
Now, I know this is only direct.
We still got to get through cross-examination.
But just think about this.
You know, we think Von is going to be the money man.
And by the way, his new nickname,
This is a new nickname for O-Tiavani, man.
O-Tiavani.
O-T-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-K-A-A-A-K-A-A-K-A-K-A-T-A-T-A-T-A-T-B-T-Bu-T, chat.
We got Jamie the Bull, and we got Vani-Brasco.
That's his name.
Vonnie Brasco.
This is his name right here.
We got The Voice, Vonny Brasco, and Jammy the Bull.
This is all bad, chat.
All bad.
Vonny Brasco, jammy the Bull, and the voice.
crazy man this just getting out of hand chat i ain't gonna lie to you i ain't on lot of you okay we're gonna get
some updates really quick to make sure we're catching up on what's going on today in court
we're gonna go back to blackshy don't look like there's much tweets even though probably we could
probably get something from like dena or something like that's dena not rocking yet is dena not rocking
all right did not look like he's rocking dena nod's rocking
okay dena back with a ski mask i see you my boy
Okay, here we go, here we go.
Here we go, y'all, y'all ready?
What's up?
It's your boy, did not day nine at the Lil Dirk trial.
O'Ti Fani has been robbing Lil Dirk blind for years.
It is indisputable that he attached Little Dirk's MX card to Astronauton Sound LLC
and had access to his line of credit there.
Upon information and belief, O'TF Vani also had access to Dirk's personal and business accounts.
Now, compare this situation to Nick Cannon, who after four years found out that his personal accountant was cycling money, $1.7 million through ATMs, luxus, travels, expenses, and so forth.
That's the situation Dirk is in.
I believe OTIAvani knowingly and willfully attached Dirk to this crime by having tickets paid for and purchasing ski masks with that Amex card.
OTI-Hvani's first statement to the feds was whose account paid for it so that he could involve Dirk and this crime that he set up himself.
Right?
Also, DJ academics, this is not a funeral.
The jury, the judge is not supposed to be looking at what's happening outside this court to determine what the ultimate decision is going to be made in this case.
That's not how that work
Also if
The judge don't make the decision
Man, it's the jurors man
Like this is jurors
What should be
And what could be
Is two different things man
What should you write
He right about that one
What should be
Nothing outside of the court proceedings
Should matter
But if you think them jurors ain't human
If you think they might
They might not be like
This can't be real
And go home and hit a Google search
If you think when they're leaving
That court building
And they're in their Uber
Or whatever car
That's bringing them away
they don't look in the front and be like,
oh, they're having a party out this bitch.
Hey, listen, cool.
If Lil Dirk tells people through duty load
to lead Trappler Ross alone
and they continue to harass him
or if Lil Dirk says,
hey, don't come outside the court with ski mask on
and people decide to do that,
don't you think that helps Lil Dirk
because you can't control what these niggas are going to do?
They're going to do what they want to do.
And that's the primary defense,
if you ask me.
How in one breath,
OTF Jam?
So,
what I'm trying to explain is this.
When Diddy was fighting for his life,
there was a concentrated effort by the family,
the family,
and also close friends
that of course fans were going to show up.
It's not a problem of fans showing up.
It was about how much,
If we saw Christian Combs like Harlem shaking outside,
if we saw, if we saw like, I'm the other brother doing just push-ups with his shirts off,
if we saw them, they just doing mad autographs again,
it's all about, you know, again, remember, a little bit about this trial is that
Dirk is on trial basically by media.
His interviews are being played.
His songs are being played.
It's not just, okay, did he do or not.
They're playing these things, which is giving people a perception of him.
All I'm just saying is that when it looks at the court house outside of the trial,
for the people, I don't care about just fans,
but if there's people who are legit connected to him,
I think they have a higher sense of responsibility to make sure they either avoid the nonsense
or control the nonsense.
That's all I'm saying.
Okay, that's all I'm saying.
Can say that Dirk told Cubs to give him a switch in every city that they went in.
But then on August 18, 2022, Didi tells OTF jam to get the barretta because he's rusty.
That doesn't make any sense.
This is not a funeral.
I know someone's life is on the line.
And the best thing that we can do
is make people
understand that Dirk has a lot of supporters.
And me turning this into GTA6
has nothing to do with what's going on
the inside. It's just a reflection of how
ridiculous this case is.
GTA 6, GTA 6.
What's up? It's your boy,
Deney at the Little Dirk trial.
Okay.
All right, well, he's back.
Hey, what's up? It's a board to not.
Little Dirt trial, Day 9.
Hey, hey, hey, go, me trying to
Again, I don't really care about DeNott's actions like that.
Denot is not connected to Dirk.
The knot is not connected to Dirk.
You get what I'm saying?
Like, now granted, you know, if Deney was just showed up as a fan,
I would probably be like, listen,
probably want to look and protest in a way that people don't see you doing skits around the courthouse,
but you're a journalist, your content creator, whatever you want to do, you could do it.
As long as you're not saying you're doing it in the name of supporting Dirk.
If you're just doing you, fine.
You don't owe dirt nothing, right?
But the people who's connected to him absolutely do.
And if fans claim they're looking out for his best interest,
again, whether it's going to affect the outcome of the trial or not,
who cares, you'd rather be on the side of just being safe.
What's up, it's your board, day nine at the L'Dirk trial.
Off the back, the government wanted to introduce new evidence
showing that Dirk said that he wanted Kwono
Rondo dead around the time of King Vaughn's passing. It was objected to and the judge decided to take it under submission. Dirk's personal assistant, aka Vani, was called back to the stand. He pretty much made it clear that he wasn't a part of any conversation with Dirk when it came to the whole slide for Vonn. Brian still objected to it as hearsay and it was overruled. The government led Vunning, which was also objected and that was sustained.
Vani said and takes dirt that we lost someone we love.
And now he claims it was made clear that Dirk wanted Cuando Rondo dead.
Vani testified that it's usual for dirt to pay for housing for OTF members.
There was communication with duty low between him, Dirt and Didi.
It was shown in court.
A photo of dirt and OTF members is also shown and Bonnie was in the middle of it.
It was a photo of them outside of a private jet.
There was text messages from duty load telling Vani that rent was due in January 2021.
Dirt responded, and this is a text message around December 30 of 2020,
saying that he's not putting no money up into motherfuck to show me.
It's a team thing from this day four.
Means he's not providing no homes.
See, that's another thing that's interesting.
How are they using a text message thread from Dutty low, straight to Dirk,
unless this is a group message
and duty low is just non-party to this
this case. Guns or
anything and as far as
this text chain on December 30
of 2020, Dirk
said he's not celebrating new years
because King Vonn is dead
and he's not providing any money until
he feels like they are loyal to him.
Voney testified and said
that Dirk meant that he's not doing
nothing for OTF until they slide
for Vun.
Duty Lowe and others in the text messages
said that they were on that tonight.
This is December 30 of 2020 still.
On that same date, Dirt texts, yeah, me too.
But from seeing us as a whole, we're not united.
And then Allset got brought into the conversation
and pretty much said and told Dirk
that they're not going to do that in the A
even though we got the location.
Dirk had Kondo Ronda location in Atlanta, Georgia,
and Allset pretty much stopped Dirk and OTF
for sliding for Vaughn that particular night and Dirk in his text message was saying
niggas in Atlanta think that niggins in Chicago are sweet they were pretty much contemplating
sliding for Vaughn on NBA young boy Cuondo Rondo in the whole crew that was with them
damn um after working as dirt's person assistant there was a quando Rondo concert
four hours away from Atlanta Georgia Vani was at another OTF
member house. Zo. What's up is your board did not day not. Hey, that's interesting. So a bunch of
OTF members was there and there was about 20 to 30 people there and dirt was there too. There was
another fraction from Chicago. I think it's called Zeus gang, correct me if I'm wrong. They were
there as well. And they mentioned that Kondo Rundo had a show coming up and everyone's antennas
went up according to Vani. He said people's antennas went up like it was a bomb.
going off at the airport and then dirt went to vunny and said he wants to get them
bunny went outside and started contacting his plugs to set things up and inquired about two hot
cars he set up for one and that became the slider car a jeep and then that jeep pretty much was
told to big country house at the time big country was dirt security this happened 48 to
six day hours before the May 1st, 2021 concert.
And if you guys remember on day four, I believe, there was a screenshot shown of Dirt
in Dirk's phone that was captured April 24, 2021 of the post, IG post of Kondo Rundo's May
first show.
And a screenshot of the reported shooting app that happened was filed in Dirk's phone.
And that was dated May 4th, 2021.
That was on day three.
Vani said that they left their cell phones and all traceable devices and set up for burner phones in order to get this hit done.
Then they arrived at the Waycross Georgia location.
They met with Big Country in a parking lot.
They, as in others, affiliated with Dirt, didn't know what was happening at that time.
Big Country, the security guard, did not know what was going on.
He was just filing orders.
Cuondo Rundo was traveling with 10 to 15 vehicles
and they followed behind to kill him.
Then on May 2nd, 2021, multiple vehicles are shown.
They showed a video.
By the way, I know OTF fans ain't going like
that supposed message that was read in court.
But just remember, they said even Dirk was citing young boy.
Dirk said to
said to the waste man around him
Who wasn't sliding
I bet young boy niggas wouldn't do that
I bet young boy niggas
Young boy shorties would be slotted
Hey
OTF fans do not be mad at nobody else
Even Smirk was saying
Young boy
Young boy goons and young boy hitters
Day on a different type of time
Cyclone over there
You feel me
So if Dirk had
to give his own crew a pep talk to say, yo, y'all lazy piece of shit, I'm done giving y'
y' money.
If this was young boys' crew, niggies would have been dead.
That tells you about the respect.
I know you don't want to hear this.
It tells you about the respect that Dirk had for how young boy kept killers around him.
Basically, Dirk was saying, young boy niggins would have got to spin it.
My niggins is over here.
They just in the club doing goofy shit.
They're wearing ski masks but for COVID.
They ain't got no hot cars.
They ain't doing no.
So slide in.
This is not cool.
I just want to let OTF fans.
I did not say it.
This is coming from court.
Basically, Dirk told his own niggas.
Hey, if this was NBA young boy, his niggas would have been slid.
Ain't none of that other talking.
Just remember that that's what Dirk said.
Not me, Dirk.
So Dirk was using his biggest op, or not his biggest op, but he's using his
up as an example of a niggal who got a crew that stand on
penis.
And Vani is shown in this video in a hot car.
And they were stocking Cuando Rundo even when they pulled over at a gas station.
There was muzzle flashes going off because there was a shooting occurring from the hot car that Vani was inside of.
And then they were shot back.
at and they sped off and according to vani luckily they had pretty much set up the whole ordeal
with big country in the trailer to hide the hot car one block away so they went back sped off
put the hot car in the trailer and then they all traveled back to Atlanta Georgia
and so a bunch of OTF members was there and there was about 20 to 30 people there and dirt was
there too. There was another fraction
from Chicago. I think
it's called Zeus gang, correct me if I'm wrong.
They were there as well.
And they mentioned that
Cuondo Rundo had a show
coming up and everyone's antennas
went up. According to Vani, he
said people's antennas went up like it was a
bomb going off at the airport.
And then Dirk went to Vonnie
and said he wants to get them.
Vani went outside and started
contacting his plugs to set
things up and inquired about
two hot cars. He set up for one and that became the slider car, a Jeep. And then that Jeep pretty
much was told to Big Country House. At the time, Big Country was Dirk Security. This happened 48 to
68 hours before the May 1st, 2021 concert. And if you guys remember on day four, I believe,
there was a screenshot shown of Dirt in Dirk's phone that was captured April 24, 2000.
of the post iG post of kondo rondo's may first show and a screenshot of the reported shooting
um after it happened was found in dirk's phone and that was dated may 4th 2021 that was on day three um
vani said that they left their cell phones in all traceable devices and settle for burner phones
in order to get this hit done then they arrived at the way across georgia location
They met with Big Country.
Okay, okay.
I think we heard it like twice or three times.
Fed off and according to Vonny, luckily they had pretty much set up the whole ordeal with
Big Country in the trailer to hide the hot car one block away.
So they went back, sped off, put the hot car in the trailer and then they all traveled back
to Atlanta, Georgia.
And Vonny already pled guilty to his role in the Blackshire Georgia shooting.
Vonnie said something like, oh, wow.
So that's part of Vonny's charges.
This happened to Coondo Rondo.
It pretty much gave Dirk more attention and amplified the slide for Vonn's trend on social media.
Then they talked about 6'9 having an interview with DJ academics.
And it was about sliding for Vonn.
And it increased pressure.
169 opened his mouth.
It infuriated little Dirk.
And it started a beef.
between Lil Dirk and 6'9, and it amplified the whole slide for Von Tren.
Vani was present when Dirk was in the studio writing and recording songs.
He said Dirk did a lot of subliminals throughout his music at Cuando Rondo.
Then they played Dirk's verse and Meek Mill song, Still Running.
He's talking about shooting up the car and must be out your mind if you think we're not
spinning for bro.
in this song
According to Vani
Oh yeah that's my
Yeah I wish Micknold wasn't on that
So I ain't gonna lie to you
Still running
Meek was struggling to keep up
With Baby and I'm Dirk
That's when big
That's before baby got washed
I ain't on cap
They say yo must be out of your mind
If you think we ain't spinning for bro
We spin it for show
Had a switch on me
Not a 38 dummy
Boy
We'd be spinning for ghosts
They put up for shows
We spinning the cribs
And traps for show
We spinning the shows
And we took L's for sure
But in Chicago
That's
They know we win it for show
You do it for what
You better not say you do it for
I think
Oh that's supposed to be duck
You say you do it for duck
Them niggas be tucked
That nigga was fucked
The moment he ran and he knew
And he knew he ain't ducking
His ass out of luck
We do it for Vaugh
We don't wait till it die down
We load and we do it tomorrow
We do it on feet
Ask the ops all about us
And who say we shoot out the cars
that Rose better be bulletproof little nigger.
You know we're going to shoot at them stars.
It was the Rose Royce that he's talking about Cuano now.
He did the interview with Angelina Rose Royce.
Yep.
Mm-hmm.
Them little bitch is ours.
I told him to fuck her and slut her
and send her right back to the blogs.
Glock with a switch.
Two of those that are right through the city.
And we thought a nigga died, but he didn't.
Two glocks when did this song come out?
This thing was fire.
He said, bro,
specifically was referring to King Vun.
And in the song, they was playing lyrics and breaking it down.
One lyric says something like, we do it for Vonn.
We don't wait till it died down.
We do it on feet.
Ask all the ops about what we do out of these cars.
And Dirt says that Rose Royce better be bulletproof.
And then they went to a Cuando Rondo interview from November the 6th to
2021 and 2022, if I'm not mistaken. And he's sitting inside of a rose verse. And then they went to the song Pissed off. And Vani said he was there when the music video was shot in Englewood on the south side of Chicago on 59. And the song in the video, Vani said, Dirk is angry in the video and the song because of the homicide of D. Thing and King Vun. And I wrote Pissed Me on.
video is played and it seems like it is a narrative where art becomes an
invitation of life that is my update like the video subscribe to the channel
and keep damn now Vani looked like he was trying to spin man must be out of
your mind if you think we're spinning for bro we spend it for show trap lore are
you here brother man they got trap lore slow as hell with the updates now man
they don't chase that nigga around the building yeah they
I got Trapplor got the slowest updates now.
It's crazy.
Yeah, breaking.
The new motion filed.
Defense team filed a motion to allow the following interview.
I'm going to expound on this.
I know.
I was in a tough position with, um,
the way he got personal.
The blonde stuff, I had a conversation with him.
I said, listen.
See, they're going to do that.
They're going to throw.
It's called clickbait.
Oh, I see why Dirk wanted this to be used.
So Dirk wanted to use my interview.
Basically, he's acknowledging that.
Yo, they're just trolling.
Like, I get it.
So it's the counter this idea that he's so pissed off.
Like, he's, so he said in an interview with me, like, bro, they're going to troll.
Like, look.
Okay, so let me play this clip.
I'm glad you see.
So this is a clip that was not allowed.
Dirk's defense team got denied to use this clip from my interview.
So Dirk's team, for anybody who would say I'm the police, I'm anti the police.
Well, not anti-the-police.
Well, I'm the opposite of the police in this situation.
Dirk's team was trying to use the interview with me, right?
Dirk's team, because they, as they're using internet shit to say that the internet is pissing off Dirk,
Dirk wants to show that his last conversation, which is his interview with me,
actually showcases that he could tell that people were trolling and then he wasn't as bothered as people think.
I thought that was in a very tough position.
And I'm going to expound on this.
I was in a tough position with the 6-9 thing.
Ah!
So this interview, the reason why Dirk's team wanted it in,
was to say,
the government is claiming that 6-9
pissed me off so bad that I crashed out
or I was down to crash out.
I interviewed with the same guy, academics,
and he asked me about 6-9 and the trolling,
and I said it don't piss me up.
I said it don't piss me on.
Six-nine was somebody who, you know, he showed me a lot of love, especially early on during his career.
He happened to get beef with everybody in the game.
But I felt like with you and him, and especially of especially Bond passing away, got personal.
And I just remember even thinking, I'm like, I understand playing the media side of you trying to be neutral.
Like, if you said anything, I'm opposed it.
If he said anything, I'm opposed to.
I just don't take him serious.
But there was moments.
I had a conversation with him.
It's a nigga like that.
Like, I don't take, I don't take serious.
Like, the blonde stuff, I had a conversation with him.
I said, listen.
See, they're going to do that.
They're going to throw.
It's called clickbait.
But, you know, everybody going to talk shit.
Everybody wants to see her records.
Everybody want a name.
Everybody want to stay popular.
How did you feel during that?
Because I felt conflicting.
I never gave a fuck.
I never ever gave a fuck.
I never ever gave a fuck.
Even when people are, like, the disrespect,
that's your, that's, like, your bro, bro.
You know what I mean?
So, like...
But it's like, what I'm gonna do?
You think I'm gonna hop on there and tell you,
I'm gonna kill you.
You think I'm doing an interview.
When I catch you, I'm knocking you to fuck out.
You already know what that's happening.
So it's like, I play mad game.
I just sit back, watch.
I don't know what's going on.
All you just said this about dirt.
That's what dirt pro.
post.
India.
Some shoes.
I'm not
I'm not falling
for that shit.
Like, I know
it's not like,
why don't you engage?
Because a lot of people
engage.
Like that,
because that conversation back and for,
like, for example,
if you tweet somebody
who they think you don't like
right now and say,
fuck you when I see you,
you dead.
And then you drop a song
or you drop an album or you,
whatever,
they're like,
this is the biggest gangster
because he doesn't,
tweeted. No. Like so the internet sometimes
feeds into it. No. The internet. Then when you
see him, then he did. Then guess
who they're going to come see? That's how I
look at it. Everybody looking at it like
the internet. I'm gonna say
this just get this popping. I'm
like, I
real life trying to stay out the way because it's like
the people behind me, the knowledge I got behind me,
the leaders I got behind me.
I try not to get into it with people.
I'm trying to turn all the hate
to love.
Okay. So Dirk tried to use that to counter some of this point because they've brought up
6-9 quite significantly a lot. And they're not saying 6-9 is like police or something.
They're just saying that 6-9 was a huge loud voice that popularizes movement that fans were just running rampant with called Slide for Vaughn.
That's one of the reasons they're saying that's the motive for Dirk trying to do everything in his power to try to kill Coando Rondo.
Dirk is trying to use this interview clip
to counter that to say
Hey, if you guys could say that triggered me
Take the words from my own mouth.
I did an interview with the same guy on the same podcast
Off the record and he asks me about it.
Does the 6-9 trigger you?
And I literally says, no, I don't give a fuck about that guy.
That guy's a troll.
Hmm, I wish they would let him use that.
Yeah, I'm kind of sad and they didn't.
Wow.
Okay, afternoon update.
He's going to continue to testify.
Okay.
Here we go.
So Grant is currently testified for the prosecution about the day before survive his murder.
He testified that he got on a private flight from Los Angeles to, from Florida, Los Angeles.
Dirk informed Grant that Kwanter would be in L.A. for a show.
Grant said by the time the plane landed, flights were arranged.
I guess for the other guys to get there.
Grant Describer were organizing the plan as feeling normal because he was used to arrange in flights, stolen cars, and even guns for Dirk.
He testified that it was Dirk who had OTF members fly into San Diego to avoid the police.
By the way, you know one thing I don't like about how Vani, and I hope they expose him about this.
Vani's acting like, yo, he's just an assistant.
He's going to go with this thing that he has a clean criminal record.
But he supposedly testifies that when it came to like down there in Georgia, he supposedly got on foot chasing or giving chase to maybe Kwando trying to shoot at him.
So he's not an innocent guy, right?
He said Grant also testified
He has designated room in the house
where Dirk's family was staying in an Encino
But he also lived with a girlfriend in Beverly Hills
During the testimony, Grant described Dirk's frustration
That OTF members didn't take any action
For Wondo following the death of King Vaughn
Text messages were read by Grant from a group chat
Where Dirk threatened to withhold money from the group
Until they rallied for Vaughn
Dirk says, man, they think we sweet
I ain't celebrating my dog dead
Just giving y'all reason
Why I'm gonna be hard on y'all
Because I love y'all
And I believe Vaughn is me and Vaughn is y'all
and if the shoe was on the other foot,
it will be pressure applied or whatever.
The defense objected to these messages being read
because Vaughn was not in the group chat,
but the objection was overruled.
Why?
Yeah, this was supposedly like a message between Dirk and Boneymo.
No, not Boneymo. Duty Lowe.
Duty Lowe is not a party to this case.
Why use that message?
I guess you're going to say that Dirk is in it,
but like,
witness on the stand is vawny why are you bringing up these exhibits grant also testified in the
minute to organize in the may 1st 2021 attempt on rondo's life in georgia let me see when was the gas
station shot up in georgia black shear georgia shot quando rondo oh that was they said that was
that was that was may second actually may second oh so that's the same thing right okay
He described being at a party with Dirk and approximately 30 people.
Somebody said Kwondo was in town.
Grant testified that his name was like a bomb in an airport.
He testified Dirk told him to put it together was translated to let's go get him.
Grant organized two stolen car, but only one was used along with guns.
And he called these regular steps for committing crimes.
He said everybody knew the plan and understood.
This attempt to Rondo's life also took place at a gas station, but Ronda was not hit.
Okay, so it's the same thing.
He, Grant testified to not being close with Jam, with Deity, but he said Dirk was very close to them.
He described King Vaughn's passing as devastating, heartbroken, sad and a very bad day.
He said that at a memorial following Vaughn's dead, it was clear the OTF member present that everyone wanted revenge.
It took a toll.
We lost somebody we really loved.
It was clear, myself as well.
Two songs were played for the court, still running and pissed me off.
Dirk often nods to his music when played in the courtroom.
Grant testified that these songs were subliminal, meaning Dirk.
may not say your name, but the message is intended.
He explained.
He's angry.
So he's letting it out.
Grant told the jury,
he's let you know why he's angry as well.
Hmm.
Wow.
Another text was read today.
Let it be Y B and him.
Shorty be out every night.
We got the low in the motherfucker and guess he had the club.
Like he ain't worried about nothing.
Offset said Chicago only.
But in the A,
they think we sweet
another text
from Little Duke was read

But clearly what's coming across here is that, so Dirk was telling these diggas, man.
He's going to talk.
Who?
Jam?
Yeah, he's been doing this.
He's been down.
He was seven.
According to the police thing, he got him.
He was seven.
So he's been seeing and going along, and he's earned his position.
Morrow Mike.
Okay.
One trap with an update.
Should be lunchtime already.
I'm not too sure why we not getting an update.
trap. We could, you want me to read the, I guess we can. Okay, so this is Drew Finland going
at Flacco yesterday, right? So good afternoon, Mr. Jones. Good afternoon. So my name is Drew
Finland. I represent Mr. Banks. Just for familiarity. I have a notebook in front of you. That's
an exhibit book. Made from time to time ask you to look at things. And so you're aware the question
was asked to you about an extensive interview you gave on October 24, 2024. That would be in
front of you, okay? It's a four hour and 49 minute interview that has been transferred.
And of course, you met with U.S. attorneys, law enforcement, both from the FBI, from Los Angeles
Police Department, and probably close to 10 times. The summaries of those reports are in there as well.
As you probably know, for whatever reasons, those were not recorded. But you will notice,
and it says, objection. It says, correct. I think the witness understands the purpose of the
binder before them, Mr. Finland. You may proceed with the questions. It says, let me ask,
You don't have to do this.
In the past, have you been sometimes given a binder?
Is there a copy?
Yes.
Okay, whatever.
Mr. Billings, Finland says, sure.
Okay.
So what I was stating is in the binder is going to have some reports from some notes,
and you may not need to look at them, but they're there for your convenience if you do need to look at them, okay?
Is I want to talk to you about a few names just to start off.
So having read everything you've been involved in, and you're pretty familiar.
One, you're a Chicago guy, right?
How old are you?
34, 35, 35.
So, okay, so you're a Chicago guy, right?
Born, raised, is like, you've lived there your whole life.
It's like, yeah.
I think you're on the south side now, but you've lived in all parts of Chicago.
Is that fair to say?
Yes.
And it seems like you're also, so you talked about gang affiliation that's been part of your life,
whether it is now or not, but it was at a point, right?
Yeah.
And one thing I didn't notice that you're a fan of music.
Is that correct?
Yes.
Hip hop, right?
Yes.
And I want to talk to you about a few people.
One is Dirk Banks.
Obviously you know that Dirk Banks, whether you call him Dirk, Dirk, Dink, he's a very famous hip-hop artist, right?
Correct.
Not just a Chicago-based one, but you probably know that he's a national and even internationally known artist.
Is that fair to say?
Correct.
And you talked about how he's at, like, you know, he'll appear multiple times in Chicago at the United Center, right?
Yes.
Okay, and I want to talk to you about King Vaughn.
You know who King Vaughn is?
Am I correct?
Yes.
he's kind of a legend in Chicago, right?
Yes.
I mean, he really comes from the streets, like, so to speak, right?
Right.
Okay, and so, you know, he had his ups and downs,
but then again in life, he actually made it
and was making music and industry, right?
Right.
And a Chicago guy, again, like yourself,
like Mr. Bangs, was a Chicago guy
that everybody knew with Chicago, at least people
that were interested in this musical genre of hip-hop.
Is that fair to say? Yes.
So in 2020, November 2020,
20 was a big story when King Vaughn was murdered in Atlanta, right?
I'm sure you remember that, right?
Yeah.
And I'm sure you remember that, of course, it was shocking the people in the music industry,
but it was shocking and disturbing of people that lived in Chicago that loved this world of music.
Right?
Yeah.
Okay.
A lot of people, I know you said you have seen on social media, I've taken it before your arrest,
you would go to social media sometimes.
And when you did go, like everybody else, that was in interest,
see actual videos of leaking of his murder.
Oh, it was actually, did you see murders of videos of his murder being leaked on the internet in 2020?
Yes.
So I don't remember what I've seen videos.
All right.
So that was pretty upsetting for people that really thought a lot of him, what he represented for a kind of upcoming, you know, coming up from the streets in Chicago.
Fair to say?
Probably upset into his family and friends, yes.
Okay, all right.
Well, the community as well, though, right?
You don't think it was all over the internet.
It's like friends.
Yeah, that's community.
Yeah, friends.
All right.
Now, I want to talk to you.
I want to talk to you about October 24, 2024.
You said there was a flashbang and the FBI took you into custody.
Am I correct?
Correct.
And at that time, when they took you into custody, they took you to be interviewed, right?
Do you remember that?
Parts of it.
Okay, you only remember parts, though?
It was a long time ago.
I remember some of it, but not the whole interview.
Like you said, it was four hours.
I don't remember the whole interview.
Okay.
Is it just because it's a long time ago for you to,
it's difficult to remember everything?
It was a long time ago.
I barely had sleep that day.
Okay.
I was woke up at 6 a.m.
I think I got in the house at 3 a.m. in the morning.
So that was October 24, 2024, and I get it.
You were kind of, it was a shocking event, right?
what did you say like in and out of memory of some of the things that took place
not in and out of memory um i just don't remember everything all right so october 24
you adjusts a series of questions for a couple hours about the events on the 18th and 19th
of august 2022 that wasn't even that long ago before then right uh no you okay if we do the math
okay drew phillens bullshit here what is he doing okay so philin
the witness is trying to get out,
it was trying to get an answer out.
Okay, let's go.
Mr. Jones, finish your answer.
Okay.
I want to talk about what transpired under the 24.
First of all, you can take my word for it.
You can look at the transcript.
It lasted four hours, 49 minutes when you were interviewed.
Do you remember that?
Yeah.
And primarily that interview was over my right shoulder.
Actually, Detective Vanderley, do you see him?
Yeah.
From the Los Angeles Police Department.
He was with you virtually every minute.
Do you remember that?
Yeah, I remember him.
in there. Okay, and a little bit later in the interview, I think an FBI agent came in. Am I correct?
Yes. A local U.S. attorney also came in. I think his last name was Barry. He also came in for a short while. Do you remember that? Yeah, I don't recall him. I don't recall the two agents and the FBI agent. Is I recall the two L.A. agents and the FBI agent? Okay. Do you remember at some point at least over the telephone, the two U.S. attorneys sat there. Mr. Yonello and Mr. Weiner actually joined at least
via telephone for a short period of time.
Do you remember that as well?
They joined an interview over the phone.
Yeah.
They sure did.
Okay.
Do you remember that?
All right.
Oh, my God.
It's like really...
Okay, and during that question,
during that meeting that took place for almost five hours,
they put on a presentation for you
of the evidence that he had,
at least available until that point.
Now remember all the allegations
that was in front of you from August, 18th, and 19th,
and you were sitting down on the 24th of November,
not November, October, 24th.
Well, so over two years later, they put on a presentation.
He was showing you evidence that you were looking at from the events of the 18th and 19th of 2020.
Do you remember do that with you?
Yeah.
Okay, he showed you pictures.
Yo, he's like slow poking this shit.
Jesus Christ.
Hold on.
All right.
All right.
Okay.
And then shortly after, in respect to my colleagues from the government, they didn't use that language, but they got on telephonically with you.
You asked a series of question and confirmed with you the offense you were being charged, right?
They confirmed you were looking at a live sentence.
Do you remember that?
And they confirmed with you, there was no possibility of parole.
You remember that?
And then they said you could choose to cooperate.
Do you remember that?
And in fairness, again, to my colleagues, they said there was no guarantee, but there was only way to, it was the only way that you could look at at a reduction in your sentence, whatever it may be, right?
It was through cooperation, right?
Right.
Unless, there were several things that you talked about, you indicated that, okay, I'm about to skip half of this chat.
I haven't gone out of you.
You know why?
Drew Finland is doing all of that just to basically point out a fact that the prosecutor is already elicited, which is that the first time he got confronted.
When he got arrested, he lied about everything.
He said, he didn't know Dirk.
He said he lied.
He thought that was his way to kind of wiggle out of it like he didn't know Dirk, the sent
Dirt.
However, when he cooperated, he claimed he told the truth.
Now, of course, Dirk's team is trying to say,
you're just a liar.
When do, we don't know when you told the truth and when you lied.
And actually, the time you're claiming you told the truth, whoopty do,
you were incentivized to tell that story because of a possible,
5K1 letter that you could get from the government that would make it
where you could get out of prison at some point in your life.
So that's what they're trying to say.
They're trying to say, flock of change stories.
Okay?
I've seen someone tell me to go look at a, I'm not a lawyer, but let me see what she said.
I'm not a lawyer, but let me give you the recap from day six of Dirk's federal murder for higher trial.
Okay, so the day kicked off with an LAPD detective that actually started testifying on day five of the trial, and we saw three things from his testimony.
Number one, he did a search on Twitter of the hashtag slide for Vaughn and showed the results of that search, which mostly...
Is my mic low?
It should be good now.
Is my mic low?
Is my mic low?
I should be fine.
Let me know if it's good.
Included people tagging Dirk and telling him to slide for Vonn.
And of course, this goes to the government's point that Dirk was being pressured by fans to do something about Vonn's death, which they believe was one of the motivating factors that led to him doing something.
Number two, we saw the viral clip of 6'9 saying that Dirk needs to slide for Vaughn.
I don't see you on Instagram saying, yo, go slow.
He and the government felt would support their narrative.
But there are tons of other tweets that aren't including people telling Dirk to slide for Vaughn
that this detective did not search for.
And then next, Marissa addresses Dirk's lyrics and asks the detective if, in his investigation,
if he ever followed up with the producer of that song of the record label to understand their contribution?
He said they walk out to get on the sprinter.
But he says he was surprised.
Well, last difference I'll tell you.
And that is that when Jam was on the stand,
he said there was talk about going inside the baby.
Keith Jones says, are the-
Okay, okay, yeah, the thing about the babe store.
And this is where I think, you know,
honestly, I think that's sympathy for Dirk
in trying to act like Flaka got exposed
just because minute details didn't match
Jam's minute details.
The details are pretty much insane.
They both thought they were getting paid.
They both asked for money.
They both got kind of shoot off.
And they both said they did this, not because they liked Vaughn.
They did this for money.
So they did this because they thought they were getting paid.
Here are the minor details that's not matching up, right?
For example, in the dispensary, supposedly brown eyes went in in Jamstory.
We do not hear about nobody going into any store in Flaka's story.
That's a discrepancy.
Of course Dirk's team is going to, like, blow that up.
You didn't mention that somebody went into the store or you said nobody went into the store.
Obviously, someone else said there was.
To me, those are minute details, right?
Like, you know, this murder happened four years ago.
And I know you might think maybe I'm kind of sounded biased here,
but four years ago, my niggins, something could happen a day ago
and you won't have the same story as the other three people that were there.
So to me, yes, there's some discrepancies,
but the main discrepancy is what,
I would need like a main discrepancy of,
hey, I did not go there for a murder for hire or, you know,
you know, and I think, I think Dirk's team tries to do this to basically say,
you didn't go there for a murder for hire.
You adopted that after you realize you were caught.
Except here's the big thing that I just don't think Dirk's team,
and hopefully they're going to do it when they're putting up their case.
Okay, fine.
You could say they're lying about everything.
But if all these guys, right, had zero, they don't have, let's not say zero motive,
but they don't have that much motive to go kill, kill Cuando, Rondo.
Why do all of them go to L.A.?
And who's funding it?
Who's paying for all this?
And that's where Vani Covey.
and who basically tells who's paying for all this.
This car, and that's because, according to John...
Like, the way the defense is present in this case,
as a person taking it in, pause,
you have to think that, oh, no, these guys wanted to kill Cuando
as a gift to Dirk, because Dirk was upset,
just as a gift.
And Dirk didn't tell them to do it.
Dirk never incentivized them to do it.
They just wanted to do it just to try to get closer to Dirk.
See, that's a possibility, except, you know, it kind of gets all funded by Dirk in a roundabout way.
So it kind of makes it difficult.
Now, it could be like, oh, don't Vani just spends Dirk money when he wants to.
Okay, but it's kind of tough.
And by the way, that's Dirk's team.
That's their strategy.
Vani said he set it up.
Vani's the kingpin.
But Vani used Dirk's money, not his.
Jones, they were in the rented BMW car.
And they're all saying that these shooters were asking not Vonny for the payment, right?
Well, actually one was eventually.
But they're asking, even if they were asking Vonny for the payment,
they were asking from the payment from him in hopes of getting it from Dirk.
Not the stolen infinity.
And Vani didn't want them shooting out of the rented BMW.
But again, Jam never told that story on the stand.
Oh, actually, one last difference I'll tell you.
And that is that when Jam was on the stand,
he said there was talk about going inside the Baped clothing store and trying to kill
Cuando Rondo inside there. But when the prosecutor asked Jones if that conversation ever happened,
he said, no, it didn't. So what y'all think? Are those discrepancies a big deal or a little
deal? Okay, moving on to the murder being committed and Jones wanting his payment. So according to
Jones's testimony, before they left the San Diego airport, he asked Didi about getting paid.
Didi tells him, okay, he's going to check with Dirk, but nothing ever comes of it.
And so when they get back to Chicago, Joan says he...
Let's skip past this because the Drew Phelan shit is so boring.
I kind of don't even want to read it.
Like, Brian Steele is so direct.
Drew Phelan, he's kind of like, you know, I'm pretty sure he has a really masterful way of getting to his point.
It was just taking a long time, Chad.
You angry about that?
And I did mad reading before.
That's why.
Joan says I was, but I let it go.
Because I just, I haven't got paid.
I'm not going to get it.
paid so I just took it as a loss. Now as a part of his cooperation, Keith Jones has pled guilty
to crimes related to this murder and although he doesn't know what sentence he will receive,
the government can make recommendations but the judge has the ultimate final say. Jones says he is
hoping to not get sentenced to life in prison. And so that was the direct examination of Keith Jones.
And then it was time for cross-examination by Drew Finling and it was the first cross we've seen
from Drew. Now, on this cross, Drew addresses three points from Jones's testimony. Number one,
he highlights that Jones was only told he would get $1 million, but he never heard that directly
from Dirk. He was never shown a text or DM or had a FaceTime call or anything that proved
Dirk actually said that. And then number two, in regards to the W. Hotel conversation Jones says
he had with Dirk, Drew Finland asked Jones if there's anyone other than him that can corroborate
that conversation actually happened. But Jones,
says no because there was only a few people left in the hotel room at that time.
Okay, so Drew Finlan is, I guess he gets into the part where, yeah, you never asked
Dirk for money.
Like, he's basically attacking Flocka to say, dude, you did this murder.
And after you got locked up, you say you didn't know Dirk.
You said these people you never knew.
And once you realize that your backdoor out the jail cell.
was to act like you knew Dirk and he was going to pay you or he promised you money, you change your story.
So they're kind of like doubting that he ever knew Dirk or he ever pulled up on Dirk or whatever.
And the music was loud so no one could hear.
And then finally, Drew highlights that that two-day concert that happened at the United Center was right around the time Dirk had won his Grammy and around the time he proposed to his wife, India.
And on top of that, it was his concert.
So there was a massive amount of photographers, videographers, security,
and people constantly surrounding Dirk and filming his every move.
And so Drew Finland asked Keith Jones,
how were you, a man who doesn't have Dirk's phone number,
who has never had a private conversation before this murder,
and isn't close to Dirk?
How did you find your way close to Dirk multiple times to have these conversations
and no one else was around?
Drew asked if there's anyone else that can prove or confirm that this conversation happened,
And Jones says, no, all you got is me.
At one point, Drew Finland was also asking Jones about not receiving some money up front before the murder or not having any kind of understanding of how he would get paid or when he would get paid before the murder.
Or even if there was some kind of documentation to note that this agreement was in place.
And Keith Jones said, is that a trick question?
Why would we write down our plan to do a murder?
Fair point.
Okay.
And then the final point Drew makes on cross is that about one week.
before Keith Jones was arrested for this murder? He purchased about six tickets for his family to
attend one of Dirk's concerts. So Drew's question was, how were you, Keith Jones, so upset with
Dirk about the fact that you had committed this murder and hadn't been paid and Boney Moe is not
answering you or giving the 10 or 20,000 that you were told you're going to get? And yet,
you still buy tickets to Dirk's concert. And Jones essentially says, yeah, I did. Okay, the next cross
was from Craig Harbo, which is DeAndre D.D.D. Wilson's attorney. And he focuses on the first interview
Jones gave to police. Oh, that can't even see her. In that interview, Jones repeatedly said
he went to L.A. to buy weed. And while crying during that interview, he told the officers,
he, quote, wasn't hired to do nothing. I don't even know this man for real. This man,
meaning dirt. Harbo argued that it was only after law enforcement told Keith Jones their theory
that this was a murder for hire and after they presented all the pictures. Ah, so they're saying,
that the law enforcement planted the idea of murder for hire that he just basically adopted to.
There's an evidence they had against him and after they told him he was facing life in prison
without the possibility of parole, did he later come back and say what he's saying now?
Harbo ends his cross-examination by pointing out that before the interview got started,
Jones can be heard on the recording saying, quote, my life is over. All I'm thinking about is my
damn kids. And so Harbo says, and you know the result of this case will determine whether you get to
see your kids again. And Jones says, correct. Now, the last attorney to do cross-examination was
Tillett Mills, who again represents David Brian Lindsay. And Mills again emphasizes that Jones had known
David Brian Lindsay for 20 years and he's the one who actually took Lindsay to the airport when they
flew out to San Diego. But according to Jones's testimony, during that ride to the airport, they didn't even
talk about the murder or what they were headed to do. They just sat in the car and listened to music.
After that testimony was testimony from an FBI agent who talked about a phone that was seized from
D.D.'s house, but we didn't get much into that, so I imagine it'll come back later. And then the final
witness for the day was the final cooperating witness, Kvon Grant. Now he wasn't up on the stand for long
for day six because the day was just about ended. But what we did learn from his testimony in the short
30 minutes is that he and King Vaughn were extremely close. Their fathers were almost like brothers and even
their grandmothers were also close. Vani said growing up he really thought King Vaughn was his cousin and he was
surprised to learn that they really were not blood. Vani did talk about how the two of them stopped
being close for a while after King Vonn's dad died, but they eventually got close again later and even
lived together in Atlanta. While on the stand, Vani talked about his background with getting stolen guns and
stolen cars and specifically said, quote, a lot of stolen property would come across my hands.
After that, the government then replayed the video of King Von dying and Vonie while on the stand
walk through from his perspective what happened that night. He was the one who drove King Von to the
hospital and he actually pulled up to the wrong entrance at the ER and so he had to drive a little
further, which they had video surveillance of to get to the main ER so that King Vaughn could be helped.
But ultimately, as we all know, King Von lost his life on November 6, 2020 to the gunshot wounds.
And that is where day six ended.
So, Vani will be back on the stand for day seven and we will see how that goes.
The government also said that they don't think they're going to rest their case on Tuesday or Wednesday, but they are hoping to rest their case this week.
Also, I can't believe I got this video done because I already told y'all it's not coming until the end of the week.
But look at me.
You're welcome.
Okay.
I have the paperwork here.
I pulled it.
I pulled it.
Give me one second.
So this is the filing that Dirk's team did in court today.
They filed supposedly right before they walked into court.
And it was a request to admit the podcast interview that I did with Dirk and the government subsequently denied it.
Let me tell you the reason they wanted to admit it.
Defendant Dirk Benz Banks through his attorneys, Drew Finley, Marissa Goldberg, Brian Steele, and Chrissy O'Connor,
and hereby follows his request to admit additional portions of Mr. Banks' interview with academics.
Mr. Bank's statements in the recording are admissible for two independent, distinct non-hearsay purposes.
The first is Rule 106, to advert misunderstanding and distortion caused by the government's selective tailored evidence.
The second is Rule 803.
Okay, I see what's happening here, chat.
So apparently, so the government is using a part of that interview.
They're just using the selective part of when I asked Dirk about slide for Vaughn and he says,
for some way of reason I really hear that no more.
Must be something in the water.
And he takes like a sip.
I think that they're using that.
So Dirk tried to use another part of the interview to give a context.
Okay?
To give it context, basically saying, yeah, I knew that was troll all along and never bothered me.
But he got denied.
Mr. Banks' statements in this recording are admissible.
Okay.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Because they did a da-da.
It shows Mr. Banks' then state of mind, i.e. his motive, his intent, is planned, a mental feeling.
The request is based upon the attached memorandum of the authorities.
Okay, here we go.
Mr. Banks seeks the introduction of the clip recorded, seeks the introduction of a clip recorded statements he made in the podcast interview with academics in the clip.
academics asks
Mr. Banks about a Takashi 6-9 beef
which got personal after King Bond's death
Mr. Banks explains, I don't take 6-9 serious
It's just niggas like that
I don't take serious like they won't troll
It's called clickbait everybody's gonna talk shit
Everybody wants to sell records everyone wants the name
Everybody wants to be popping
Academics ask him about how he felt about
Takashi's disrespectful for me. He says, I never give a fuck
It's like what am I going to do? He explains what he casts him
He'll knock him the fuck out but
That he just
sits back and plays mind games and watches.
And when he,
when somebody posts about him, he doesn't address it.
But he posts about his wife instead,
and her shoes,
rather than beef.
I'm not falling for that shit.
Academics ask why he doesn't engage.
He says everybody tries to use the internet
to get things popping.
He explains that instead he tries to stay out the way.
So the people I got behind me,
the knowledge I got behind me,
the leaders I got behind me,
I try not to get into it with people.
I ain't trying to turn all the hate into love.
I'm trying to turn all the hate into love.
So the clip is not hearsay for two reasons, submissible for the non-hearsay purpose of offering an alternative explanation for the one-sided snippets that the government has introduced into evidence, and from which is asking the jury to deduce the public pressure on Mr. Banks to slide for Vaughn that aggravated him, that caused him to attempt to murder Cuando Rondo.
The proffered clip provides an alternate explanation for how the slide for Vaughn campaign affected Mr. Banks and is thus submissible in the federal rule of evidence 106.
second some perhaps but not all statements in a proposed clips are admissible under hearsay exceptions
for the present sense in impressions and for the declarants then exist in a state of mind
in some statements mr banks has explained to his current approach to trolleers and others he's making
statements about his intent motive plan and feeling towards takashi six nine about um and about
he what he reacts to public trolling
Okay. The government theory that banks guilt is that the public pressure to slide for Vaughn drove him to stalk an attempt to kill Cuando.
So that's the government's theory, but public statements made by Takashi, also with incessant comments on social media, they claimed aggravated him to put a bounty on Cuando's head to create the impression in the jury's mind that the government has introduced and intends to introduce a multitude of written and recorded statements.
The government exhibit, where Takashi Mok's Banks for failing to avenge King Vaughn's death are each lengthy and contains countless slide for Vaughn-related comments.
Posted to Mr. Banks' social media.
In Exhibit 169, an expert for Mr. Banks' podcast with academics interview, the same interview, which is our proposed expert is taken.
In that clip, academics asked Banks if he's triggered for slide for Vaughn.
His response, Mr. Banks says cryptically, for some reason I don't see those comments no more.
For some odd reason.
I don't know.
It might be the water.
You see them comments a lot?
Academic says they kind of chilled out a bit.
To which Mr. Banks retort,
we different in Iraq.
Exhibit 397 is an expert of one of Mrs. Banks' song
called Who On Smoke, in which he acknowledged the public trolling.
It's trolling him to slide for Vaughn.
The government opening statement drove its interpretation of this evidence home.
Mr. Banks was receiving pressure from his fans to slide for Vaughn.
If he was consumed with getting revenge,
the testimony of the government,
a star witness, Casey Hester,
who testified in response to the government
questioning the public pressure to slide for Vann
to get on their skin, which causes him to hatch the plan.
Okay.
Yeah, so they submit all of this and it got denied.
It got denied.
Okay.
Still no update from Trap, Lord Ross.
I don't know what that means.
Well, actually, it's just lunchtime right now,
because it's 3 o'clock.
I forgot we started early.
We started early, y'all.
We started early, I forgot.
Yeah.
So we should get some updates in a second.
Let's see what Cousinino is saying.
Dirk's dad arriving today.
Okay.
Dirk's lawyer and, no, Dirk and co-defendant's lawyer.
I think, I wonder which one is Mr. Harbaugh.
Dirk's mom arriving.
India arriving.
Okay.
Okay, let's hear what we're here for day nine of Little Dirt trial.
It's day nine.
Man, yesterday was a crazy day.
We got to see two key witnesses.
Both of them was really involved with the situation that took place.
We got to see one of the shooters.
His name is Keith Jones from the south side of Chicago.
He let us know that he was a BD.
He let us know everything that the prosecution wanted us to be known.
Like what he wanted them to tell him.
Like he was just saying whatever they said to say.
Man, I don't know what's going on in the water in the Chicago,
but these are the people I grew up learning about.
These ain't the hood niggins I grew up learning about in Chicago.
I thought when you pledged media, you're supposed to stay silent.
If you do a crime, take your time.
These individuals up in here tell and telling.
I'm starting to feel like OTS stands for only talking federal
because these niggas is only talking federal lately.
They are telling everything the feds tell them to tell,
and they are being descriptive.
Man, we saw some content yesterday that, bruh,
when they showed his interrogation video,
they started off with the first clip.
He was in there sitting chill, like, you know, he was cool.
I ain't did nothing.
Oh, y'all got me here for some other stuff.
You got me here for some weed stuff.
Y'all got me here for some other stuff.
Some scamming on the credit cards.
That's what he thought it was.
They started breaking down the case to him.
He started turning, sitting sideways.
Then when they finally started getting him the break,
they told him how they had him on footage and all that like that.
Brut started crying.
You said, but I didn't even do nothing.
I ain't even do nothing.
That bro was in tears in that interrogation clip.
So he...
So that was Flaka.
Flaka was in tears.
He ain't here fighting for his freedom, basically.
He's in here saying anything that they want him to say so he can get a chance to get a day of release.
Keith Jones was in there talking, man.
He said when he first got a word or the gig, they went to San Diego.
They went to, when they got landing in San Diego, they went to the bagels spot outside the airport.
And he said they all got, you know, he got, D.D. got a bagel.
And then they talk about the money that was supposed to be getting handed out, allegedly.
he said, D.D. said that everybody's gonna get a million. If we do the job, right, you get a million, you get a million.
Talking like, Opa, you get a million, you get a million. So he was incentivized basically to like basically turn up so he can get that bread.
He said, he didn't think he was going out there for free. All he could think about was the money that he was getting because he was only thinking about what he could do with it.
And after that, they brought up Bonnie himself and Vani. That's a, that's a different type of breed.
of a tell him. That's a different type of breed. Brut came in there like it was a press
after he just, you know what I'm saying? Hit the game winning shot, game five,
by the center to game six. Brough came in there with confidence. Like, hey, I'm saying what I
got to say. I don't care about nobody I'm looking at. He's looking at the people in the crowd.
He's looking at Lil Dirt, Dedey, and
brown eyes with confidence in telling. I ain't never seen somebody in somebody
tell with confidence like this. He got so much confidence. You can tell a
brother been in there getting swore too. He'd been hitting the push-ups. He got him a
crazy fro right now, almost twisted up a little bit at the top. Brut trying to get
out. They tell him whatever the people tell them to tell. They don't care. This
has been a crazy day of trial yesterday. And I'm telling him it's going to
even crazier today because Bonnie still on staying.
And this man,
hey man, he's saying whatever they want him to say, bro.
He's saying whatever.
They admit into crimes and they don't even have to admit to.
I'm telling you this how far they...
All right, I don't think I've fully read all the Trappler-Ross tweets.
Let's read Trappler-Raw's tweets.
We don't have a video from him, but we got some tweets.
We have a good amount of tweets from him.
He says,
Bad Star for Dirk, his big motion to try to include a clip of him
in an interview with A Caduce.
saying six nine comments don't bother him was flat out denied the judge is not playing today that
savani's torching dirk on that stand right now said dirk told him midway through the private jet flight
to l a quando and them in l a browing them on the way we need a car as soon as he landed he had the hit
man's flight info dirt told vani specifically that they booked flights to san diego not to
l a l a to avoid the police the court played footage up the 2021 hit on kwondo muwop was one of
the shooting shooters uh quando people shot back with a drako uh said they all planned to hit 48 hours
before with dirk in t hf bezu's kitchen vaughney already pled guilty to that attempted murder
vaughney confirmed dirk was specifically bothered by six nine telling him to slide for vaughn in whack
one hundred interview said it was already a problem but that went viral and added fuel to
the fire six nine increased the pressure
insane group chat between Dirk and OTF members.
OTF members were asking for rent money.
Dirk said he wasn't paying because no one was spinning for Vaughn.
Y'all cry about pipes, get it.
Nothing going to happen.
Nothing going on.
Y'all cry about cars, get it, none going on.
Y'all cry about cribs, get it, none going on.
I ain't putting a dollar until a motherfucker showed me it's a team thing going on.
NBA young boy mentioned numerous times in court.
Dirk said in the message to OTF members.
He thought YB shooters,
would have slid if it was the other way around.
I don't see no pressure.
If it was YB Shorties, they would be outsliding every night.
We got the low of the motherfucker.
Guess what?
He at the club like he ain't got shit to worry about.
Off said in Chicago only, but in the A, they think we sweet.
Drew Phelan is torching Vani on cross-examination.
Vani is defiant and acting a little sassy.
Drew played a recording of Vani on a jail call saying,
this will be his time to shine.
Drew said, I know we're nowhere near Hollywood, but this isn't acting.
Drew painted a picture of Von is a prolific scammer, said even after Dirk fired him in
2023, he was flipping properties in Detroit, riding around in a Mayback and flexing a diamond earring on,
and flexing a diamond earring on IG.
Oh, shit. Oh, shit.
Well, it looked like, you know, I'll be honest.
I'm kind of surprised that we're at cross already.
I guess it's going to depend on the recross.
It's going to, not recross, redirect.
And maybe this trial actually does wrap up rather quickly then.
Because after Vonny's there, they're bringing on a couple of cops.
And one of the cops is doing summary work.
Then it's Dirk's case.
And Dirk said he had 12 people he's going to put on a stand,
but you don't need to go.
too overboard, right?
Unless you think you're really behind in the scoreboard.
Hmm.
But Drew Finland is on the cross.
Yeah, it doesn't appear.
I don't know if they've gotten lunch yet.
If they're saying Drew Finland is on the cross, I don't know.
Here we go.
Today, basically, with the jail calls and what's going to be admitted,
it's not going to be admitted, because it was a talk,
it was talk about $90,000 that Dirk had offered basically to,
Vani for whatever reason and all this shit and everything, but I guess whatever to hell, because it gets revealed later that Vani is a known scammer. The fed's been on his ass about scamming for a minute. Then they talk about the rules of completeness about the academics interview. The judge denies request for the rest of the interview. It's not as if there's an argument that hasn't been made, but basically the judge says it's because of old school rules. Old school rules from old school places, old school spaces, and all this shit that that's exactly why the video isn't in there.
and then the judge basically say and tell it to the knife circuit man i ain't a lot that was pretty
effed up that they said it but they haven't even brought it in which means they're going to bring it in
through an expert or whatever to hell and then they talk about some messages but we don't find
out about the messages being sitting everything because basically uh shit the judge ain't ruled on it yet
but it was it was it was kind of heated because i ain't a lot of judge kind of seemed like an asshole
earlier this morning but he understood but and honestly it should have been let in because they
only n't only sniping and put whatever to hell but yeah we started off today basically with the
jail calls and what's going to be admitted was not going to be admitted because it was a talk
it was talk about $90,000 that Dirk had offered basically to um interesting so the fans just
dropped interesting
I wonder if Trappler Ross is just uploading straight to maybe it's a YouTube.
Actually, let me watch Trenching the names, bro.
You want to support me?

play or they might not use all of them but vani had broke down about the hot cars and how they had got
the hot car for little dirk had lord dirk's security guard had hid the car in his trailer after the
shooting and that he didn't have anything to do with it though but they they're on a blackshare

That's what Vani, that's what O'TEF Vani is saying on the stand.
Now, then Vani go to the, um, the Rose Roy.
But it was said that it was like, there was a shooting maybe with, um, Bezou and Dirk.
It's better be bulletproof.
Look, you know, we shoot at them stars.

So they go to the Angela Yee with Cuando Rondo video and they show that.
Bonnie break that down.
Vani say, yeah, he was talking about Cuando Rondo.
He was basically saying that confirming that Lederk,
when he say that Rose better be bulletproof because we're going to shoot at them stars.
He was talking about Quando Rondo.
That's called stalking, y'all.
And then it was a video, Piss me off.

shit, Ali. You call him Bonnie. You call in Vani telling Vani that the rent is due. And then he got to call Liddark and tell him that your rent do. That's why you out there like a cheerleader right now. Oh, yeah, I forgot that was Dutty Lowe. Yeah, duty low called Vani and said the rent do.
I see why Doody Lo out there like a cheerleader tailgating out there having a bud, billykin parade part 10.
I see why?
Because dirt got to pay your rent still from jail.
So you're doing, you jumping through hoops right now.
I was wondering like, damn, why Dooley Lo is still outside tailgate, man?
When the feds just said the man name, one of the witnesses jam said that Doody Lo got the load from the Weegee Man.
Coker number four.
Coker number four gave Doolty Lo, the dragon.
and duty low gave it to them that's what according to jam jam didn't get paid flock didn't
get paid flock bag them boys up for you two years straight hey bro well y'all got me every time he ran
to him y'all got me hey man you should have got up close man but you got grills in your mouth and
shit you got diamonds in your mouth dd but you're talking to me with diamonds in your mouth shining
as you telling me i'm watching your diamond shine as you telling me i should have got up close
and laid on you know like it hey look all them need to go to jail bro even a person who killed us
shouldn't nobody get a deal for this you know if y'all want to make it fell but viny is telling
what he know viny remember i told y'all we still got to learn how viny got back if viny flew
back on that plane with lill dirt and then we're still around little dirt after that hey look
ain't nothing drew nem feeling can say about that bro it's called common sense oh wait a minute
Little Dirk ain't know about it.
Flying there, he ain't know about the whole murder for hire.
After that, he's still with these guys rapping about it,
but he don't know nothing about it.
And then, when the heat come down, he said, Vani was fired.
Vani was still in that.
And all that, man, like, hey, look, every time you lie,
you got to make up another lie.
That's why I don't like lying, bro.
Because you got to keep on coming with a lie.
You know, every time somebody come with a question,
you got to make up another lie, man.
And then they don't turn out good.
man, Vani fin a stick a fork in it, bro.
Jam was just
to show that Lurk is affiliated
with animals, with monsters, with killers.
That's all they got Jam up there for.
Jam, hey, look, he admitted
to three bodies. Don't even know if he
going to get where out. I know he's going to get a deal.
Jam going out of the back door with a haircut and an
envelope and in an Uber to Montana
somewhere in the mountains. You know what I'm talking about
where ain't no civilization
at. He fin to go there. But
they're saying that he got three life
sentences. They just needed Jam,
to show that little dirt is an animal he hang around animals he hang around wolves that kill people
for money um flocker was just to show that he another person that hey look he thought that it was
going to be some money involved and he went to go and kill in the name some people who dirt had beef with
flocker don't know them the feds know that flocking don't know quond or rondo them they was hired
on the 18th him and brown eyes they just jumped in it because they had to jump in it because it was a bounty
they don't even know king vine you hear me and that's what the jewelry looking at the jury
looking at through all that bullshit oh they lied about this they lied about being in juvenile together
like come on man really somebody dead bro they could strip they credit all they want to like i told y'all
it's some truth to every story but this is day nine and i'm gonna bring an update on live about all this
but vani he understand he explained the song um about the rose with quando rondo that that car better be
bulletproof you know we shoot at the stars and all that he's he's
He said that's stalking.
Little Dirk,
Vani is confirming all the stalking situations that Liddirk was involved in.
They even said in the paperwork that Liddirt, Healer was the shooter.
And Vani was going to testify that Ler Dirk was the shooter
during the Coando Rondo incident.
And then when they went to California,
that's,
I better be bulletproof.
You know we shoot at the stars and all that.
He said, that's stalking.
Liddirk.
Vani is confirmed in all the stalking situations.
That Liddirk was involved in.
They even said the paper wrote that Liddler was the shooter.
And Vani was going to testify that Lunderc was the shooter
doing the Cochondro Rondo incident.
I'm still not convinced by that.
I think that would be a bombshell.
I think the government is struggling to put Dirk really in this.
He basically says he's around every time they're planning it.
He helps gets the car.
He usually leaves the location with the guys.
but they've never said that Dirk is ever in any of these cars.
That would be a bombshell that it would have been in court already.
So I think what Trenches News might be getting confused with
is that they said that these guys conspired.
It says Dirk Banks and 2 to 5 conspired to kill Kondo in Blackshare, Georgia.
Conspiring doesn't mean you're in the car.
You know, being an actual shooter, and maybe knows something I don't know,
But being an actual shooter, that's something else.
You could conspire and not even be at the location.
And then when they went to California, that's stalking too.
That's just a continuation of stalking, man.
So that's what I think they're going to get caught with.
I don't think they're going to get caught for no payment.
He's going to get stuck in jail for no payment.
They can't prove.
But a payment is a whole bunch of things.
Him giving Flaka tickets to the United Center.
That's a payment, man.
You giving him luxury.
You giving him putting them in skyboxes.
He had the football game at the Bears game in the skybox.
That's a payment, bro.
You know, to the people, that's a payment.
You probably did it out of love, man.
You like football?
All right, man, I got a skybox at the Bears game.
But to the feds and to the jewelry, no, you paid him for that.
He killed somebody, and now he in the skybox.
He wasn't in the skybox before he killed somebody.
He wasn't at the United Center before he killed somebody.
Now all of a sudden, he killed somebody.
And then it looked bad on dirt, too.
that all the killers were still around him still at the concert still at the united center still at
doing all activities with little dirt shoes and all and war with each other whipping on the internet
um you're gonna end up by that tree trolling people he kept it going after quando rondo was what's the name
hey one thing i want to say two things drew drew fendlin his motion was denied to add in evidence
of the dj academics interview they told him that he tried to um
admit some evidence showing that little dirt was innocent and that little dirt didn't want no trouble they said it's too late man you had all you had all two years to put that in so they denied that and um besides the drew feeling thing
old block old block was smart old block ripped dirt off for that $30,000 and and they went to jail for that little bit but they all they all got out though once they got a bond they all got out and they had money you know because they had um they had got locked up
But I know they're glad that they took Lil Durk for that money because they would have been in jail right now on the shooting on a on a right car Rico because of that
Now according to friends in a few other people there is a rumor that
Little Durk financed about $200,000 cars all type of stuff for the old blot niggas thinking they were going to slide
Nothing happened it's like basically them niggas just ran off the bread you know what I mean
But instead they took that money like money.
Duke told them don't do that take the money the feds on them they own us you know it make it you got to make
it make sense man the shit went math so they ran off with the money like i've been told y'all two years ago
it came out at court in a paper wrote that little dirt wanted old block kill because they didn't
slide for vine and he had paid for their Airbnb and all that man that's another situation where it
showed that little dirt a leader yeah but i told y'all man when viny had showed that list and said
that he's looking forward to five to seven years,
man, he got a list of, like, crimes that everybody did.
Booney Moona, T.T.E. Little Ted, he got all of them on that.
So I know for show that another RICO is coming.
They mentioned twin them.
They mentioned people who understand that ain't got nothing to do with nothing.
They just around dirt them.
They work jobs and got businesses and stuff.
And they willing them in.
So I know for a fact, now, when they mentioned MWOP,
and I told y'all that they said it was Mewu,
whoop and all them they did a shooting
and it came out today in court, man.
Hey, make sure y'all get in the comments
and let me know what y'all.
Hey, chat.
Also, remember, we're going back to this
this, um, we're going back to this, uh, jail call.
Remember this jail call, chat?
Got to remember this jail call.
And by the way, we're going to have to call Mimo in a second
because he and some shit too.
Uh, check out his jail call.
This was the leak call between Lil Durk and Boona
back in 2020.
and I'm going to be honest with you, it appears that they wore a little dirt.
They told Dirk, the nigger is mad at you because he hasn't gotten paid.
Okay, remember, the first cooperant, the first cooperant, y'all, the first cooperant is known as Jam.
Jam got booked for a gun.
He's the one who cooperated in 2023.
Nobody else cooperated.
Vani cooperates when they catch him in 2024.
Flaka gets interviewed, gets interviewed, and lies.
He doesn't start cooperating until later.
It seems like he cooperates later.
I don't know the exact date on Flaka cooperating, but he cooperates later.
But Jam is one of the main ones.
Lou Dirk calls OTF Boona.
Boona's locked up.
And Boona tells Dirk, I'm keeping my ear to the street.
Dirk even says to him, how you know all the T?
He said, man, I'm keeping my ears to the street.
He said, man, he said, you got to keep your ears to the street
because your nigger will throw you into the frying pan
for less than a penny.
Now, this is the ironic part about it.
OTF Jam literally threw Dirk into the frying pan,
obviously for more than a penny,
but we could start off by just saying
it's because niggas ain't get paid.
But remember this leak call where OTF Buna,
remember Dirk is, you know,
Jam calls Dirk.
Dirk starts smiling his face.
He's like, you're blood, why?
you send me on that goddamn drill with them scary-ass niggas.
He's like, man, you good, man.
I love you, man.
So, man, y'all ain't getting the right guy, man.
But shit, the guy you got, man, he was making fun too.
And Dirk ignores him.
Dirk was ignoring how mad he was, didn't pay him.
And Boona calls Dirk and tells Dirk,
Jam been calling around, including the jails.
He's mad at y'all.
Matter of fact, he's saying, fuck y'all niggas.
Listen.
And then I talk to Jam, like, yes, I say, wow.
He said, man, that bitch, that he's a man.
He said, they didn't give you nothing.
He said, hell, nah, man.
I didn't give you nothing.
He said, hell, nah.
He said, yeah, he's like, no, I ain't fucking with them.
He said, I ain't fucking with him.
He said, I ain't fucking with him.
I just did something that's going to piss them off, yeah.
I already know.
Dirk said I did something going to piss them off.
Dude says, I already know.
Boone says, I already know.
What?
He said, I know.
what you did?
I already know.
Dirk said what?
What?
Now, we got to be honest.
Whether you think Dirk did this or not,
it's clear Dirk was trolling his shooters.
Dirk should have been online trolling six, nine.
Don't troll your shooters.
Like, again, we're not,
this is a lot of legend.
But don't troll your shooters, brother.
Why Shirek you won't know.
I know everybody.
I knew it did
I knew it did
What's our uh
What's our uh
What's it called man
Little Slim Gentile motherfucker man
Dynamite
He turned out
He was surprised
When he walked it on
I ain't gonna lie
You could have an office
You heard Dirk

But look like
He should have had his ear
To the streets
Chat let's keep it a bean
His shooters
Allegedly was called around
Mad as hell
Yo man
Fuck them niggies
Man
they sent me on a drill with a bunch of crash house, man.
Did you get paid?
Nah, them niggins ain't even paid me either, man.
Fuck them niggis.
Dirk is telling this guy who's in jail, man,
you got your ear to the streets.
You got all the tea.
So you got all the tea?
I'm starting to think you work for the shade room, dude.
He said, I start thinking you work for the shade room.
How do you know all the tea?
You know, I just keep my ear.
I just keep my ear to, you know what I'm saying?
Just, I being just thinking, I just keep my ear, you know what I'm saying.
He says just keep his hair to the streets.
Has it just being as best thinking.
That's good, though.
That is up for a...
Yeah, yeah, I know that because, you know, it's too much.
It's too crazy after that niggis.
That you got your ass in frying pan for less than a penny and your ass gone.
You heard what he said?
Niggis, this is crazy out there.
Niggas will throw your ass in a frying pan for less than a penny and your ass gone.
This is a prophetic call.
He was telling Dirk, you got, you got niggas who claimed a shot for you.
calling around say they mad at you
just letting you know
why shirac you will be in the week

though
right because I ain't gonna
Okay. Now there's a new jail call. We got to call Mimo about this.
In a new league call from 2022, this is OTF Buna and T.HF. Bezu. Apparently, they're sneakness in Mimo.
Bezo says Dirk won't let him beat up Mimo and Boona calls Mimo a created player.
Oh, hell now. Why they told my Mimo like that? Not the Mimo that's going to give six nine the beats.
Oh, hell no. What the fuck? Let me hear this shit.
I ain't, uh, man, little Nemo, huh?
That man, it's funny.
Uh-uh.
How you hear me?
Yeah, he's funny as fuck, man.
Why Shireak him or let me, blow him won't let me punch him up, you hear me?
Man.
Blur won't let me punch him up, holy.
Man, look, yeah, man, he's funny as hell.
He needs a big brother hug before, man.
It ain't nothing wrong.
He's so disdusting one of your brothers, man.
You know, punches, punch his head and off or something, but he's,
I never heard no shit.
You talk about all that shit
and think everything good
that you're going around
a other one more year
you know,
I don't call me
all that.
Why shy around him
to create a man?
Damn,
they call
Memo a creative play.
That's crazy.
Uh-huh.
For sure that.
Yeah,
man.
Hey, phone is that
on y'all.
I just be laughing
at that shit,
though.
I just be laughing at
you know what I'm just.
I just be laughing at it.
He's funny, man.
He ain't home to it
Yeah, he ain't.
He's just all right.
What's up?
What's on 30?
Damn.
Dan, Dan, Dan, chat.
Holy damn.
So look like Bezoo was saying that Dirk was preventing him from beating up Mimo.
I feel like we might need to get up with Mimo.
Why they call Mimo a creative player?
Like, he had a brown shirt on, like, like, he, like, he, like, he, like, he, like, he,
and grind his badges in the park.
Why are they talking about him like that, chat?
Some people say, yo, act.
All right, okay.
Some people say act.
Dirk was a snake.
Not paying your shooters is a snake-like behavior.
Now, granted, we're going to say Dirk is innocent.
We don't know what's what, but let's say Dirk did do this.
If Dirk didn't pay the guys who did stuff for him, is Dirk some, a snake?
Like, real question.
If you ask a nigga to do this.
that level of crime.
And payment ain't instant?
Or payment ain't guaranteed?
What y'all think Mimo would say about this audio, though?
That's Buna.
And T.HF. Bezhu passed away.
Bezhu said, man, I want to punch up on this, nigger, but blood won't let me do it.
Boona laughs at him and says, man, that nigger is a creative player.
what the fuck what in the actual fuck
what the fuck is going on trap or i mean chat
yeah we don't have an update from trap lore yet
it's past lunch now
it's definitely past lunch now i don't know what's going on
are they still up there being entertained by vani brasco
here we go we got some more
we got some more
so drew is is is
he's questioning Vani
he says to Vani
let me see
said Vani said in a jail call
about he says he's going to be on his A game
like he's going for a job interview
he said I'm dressing to impress
speaking to impress well rested
I'm at my lunchbox
so Vani had a speech about how
he's going to be snitching
and he's saying
fuck this is going to be
like his
his group project
you know you guys
to present your group project in front of the class?
He said he's going to be doing his big one.
He's going to be on his A game.
Like he's going for a job interview.
Dressing to impress.
Speaking to impress.
Well, rest, he's going to have his lunchbox.
He said, I signed up for it, nigga.
He says, I want to go home.
I'm not getting life.
Holy shit.
So after the hit, Dirk told Vani to burn the stolen car,
but he just left it.
He legally parked it downtown, so he got told,
and he lied to Dirk.
So Dirk said,
why I didn't see about a burdened car?
the news. Vani said, I don't know. He told the court, I thought burning it was stupid honestly.
He said burning the car was a stupid move. Apparently, Vani came home for the hit and told
Dirk, he was scared because they've been sloppy. So remember, Vani staying in that Enino
Airbnb that Dirk is rented in L.A. So Vani get there and Vani's supposed to
tell Dirk that he scared because these
niggas was sloppy.
He said that he said the hit was in
free fall. He said we just did a hit in Beverly Hills
nigger this is not normal.
Apparently Vani and Dirk saw the clip of
Cuando screaming, no!
And said Dirk was joyful. He was excited by the
clip. He said, finally! We got
somebody. Finally!
Vani said the car
rental place called him and told him
two detectives came asking about the white
BMW that was using the murder.
He told Dirk, who didn't care and said, you're overthinking it.
They're just doing their job.
He decided to distance himself from Dirk, and he moved back to Atlanta and stopped coming to L.A.
Dirk noticed and fired him for never wanting to be in L.A.
I'm going to be honest, man.
Vani's either a Stonecoe idiot, or he was setting this play up to sink dirt the whole time, man.
you go get you go book a car a BMW from an exotic rental car company place that's the place that has
the most and highest turnover of people trying to run off with their cars you know they got GPS so you
get the car with the GPS it's a legit car is going to go back to that that that exotic rental car
company you drive the car it's going to be seen on camera because you are sandwiched in between the
hot car and the Cadillac and basically you like you like
Like, you just kind of think that no one's going to come calling for it.
Also, the infinity, the infinity, which maybe they could try to not connect to the murder.
If maybe you had burnt it, he said, I ain't burning the shit.
I ain't burning the shit.
I just left it.
Illegally parked it.
Illegally parked the shit, man.
This is, this is.
Yeah, maybe Vonny wanted to get caught, man.
Maybe Vonny wanted to get caught.
Hmm.
Maybe Vonny wanted to get caught.
Wanted to get caught.
Wow.
Cousinino says Vani is getting cooked by Drew Finland.
He reportedly was all over the jail calls bragging about the type of performance he was going to give.
Chat, I'm going to be honest with you.
I think that's a nothing, burger.
If a nigger confessed to murder, he signed on a dotted line.
He pled guilty to murder.
If he's excited about snitching, yeah, he's excited about being free.
To me, it doesn't mean he's lying.
To me, yeah, it's probably like, okay.
take that into consideration, it don't mean he lying.
He said it was going to be well-rested.
Why is that a thing that we're going to be?
Oh, that means he's lying.
Jail calls were played in the courtroom.
Jail calls was played in a courtroom from Kavon Grant
where it confirms the following about testifying for the prosecutor.
He said, I'm going for a job interview.
I'm dressing him press.
I'm speaking of press.
Real resting, well fed.
Have my lunchbox.
He could be heard laughing.
He said, you want to go home and you want to get life.
Man, I want to go home.
In a separate call about testifying, he says, man,
and today are going to be my time to shine.
Drew Phelan is currently
cross-examining Grant.
Phelan began to say,
I know this is Hollywood, but he got quickly
cut off by the judge and Grant laugh.
Grant also testified he knew the FBI was following him prior to his arrest
and even told him that this is his first interview.
He told them this in his first interview with the authority.
So when they called him, they said, I knew y'all was following me.
Well, he knew that they were on to him.
He knew what they were on to him.
You know, he knew they were on to him?
Because the guy from the rental company called and said,
I ain't going to lie, two detectives showed up here, bro.
Two detectives showed up here.
Now, I think where maybe the lie is and the drama is,
if Dirk is paying this man bills,
why he's just up and go to Atlanta?
He said he thought he was going to get caught.
He just up and went to Atlanta.
He said, while testifying for the prosecution,
Grant said he felt wrong after the murder of Survivor Robinson.
He said, that's not normal.
People don't die in Beverly Hills, especially murder.
behind me in a gallery someone muttered killing people not normal
Grand testified I didn't know he would be involved in an attempt on Cuando's life
until Didi said blood say you coming with us
Grand said he felt uneasy from the start he testified because the white BMW
from Vem Exotics was connected to him and he said he was told by Dirk and others
to burn the stolen car which we heard about before
Grant testified he didn't burn the hot car instead he said he said
He wiped it down and parked it illegally so it would get told.
But he lied and told Dirk he burned the car.
Grant testified he left L.A. and attempted to distance himself from the city and from Dirk,
later being fired as Dirk's assistant in early 2023.
Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn.
Yeah.
Like the other cooperators, Vani testified he felt the whole thing was sloppy,
being in L.A. not having a plan, using the BMW that Vani had been driving
for two months prior.
Oh, man.
Vonny also detailed being a part of the attempt on Kwondo from May 2021.
Prior to this, according to his testimony,
Dirk was expressing frustration over nothing happening for Vaughn's death.
So let it be Y being him.
Shorty would be out every night.
We got to loan him, motherfucker, and he had the club, like he got shit to worry about.
I ain't going to be happy until we creep up under skull.
Chat, I ain't going to be happy until we creep up under skull.
Chat, I ain't going to be happy until we creep up on the skull.
You heard me, Chad?
Nah, piss me off as a real hitter song, man.
I give my gun to India before I put it in your hand.
I lost, bro, I can't be happy till we creep up on the skull.
I know niggas act like they win it, but they bitch is on the low.
Why are you niggis posting sun-son?
Why are you niggis posting true?
Why you act like you supporting us?
If you do hop in that coop, grab a gun if you ain't with it, put up money for a gun.
It's a grab a gun
And if you ain't with it
Put up money for a gun
Put up money for a hot car
Put up money for a bond

If you can't get the main nigga
Then you better get his guys
Damn
Boy did not
Day nine at the LaDirk trial. This is part four of Vonnie's examination by the prosecutors.
Bunny pretty much picking up where we left off from. He said that Dirk actually planned and co-conspired
to have him pick up some hot cars and some guns to unalive Condo Rondo when they was on the
private jet from Miami back to L.A. on the 18th, I believe. And pretty much after they got the
hot car, they waited outside of Condon Rondo Hotel.
because they figured out he was there.
They communicated with FaceTime to conspire.
They saw Coondroondo outside wearing the ski mask
claimed that he suspected it was Cuando Rundo
trying to hide his identity.
They wasn't sure at the time.
And once they left the hotel,
he called Dirk to see what he wanted the guys to do.
So he called around and found a vacancy hotel
once they realized that they was not going to shoot
Condo Rondo at nighttime outside of the Lodos.
hotel and prior to going to the hotel, Vani parked the infinity to hide it due to the fact that it
was a stolen car. Then they show receipts of the Sheraton Hotel that Vani paid for using Dirk's
credit card. Then he stopped to think, and this is important, he stopped to think why. And then
by the way, real quick, real quick, real quick, once again, thank you guys. Uh, Lisa B. Michael,
Thank y'all. Again, the academy.com.
We got 30% off.
Free dirk is the coupon code.
You could get, you could check out with FreeDirk,
and we will be donating to Portia of those proceeds
to some anti-gun violence initiatives
or some of the victims that have been covered
in all of these crimes that seem to be happening
that we're having pretty much a marathon uncovered, right?
And finally, he answered and said
because he wasn't going to pay for it himself.
He then went back to Dirk's house.
Also, we're shouting y'all on stream.
Met with him downstairs.
And he updated him on everything.
And that was early morning on August 19, 2020.
And he said that Dirk's reaction was normal.
Vani claims he expressed his concerns about moving, sloppy in California.
That is the early morning on the 19th before this incident occurred.
And he said that because nobody really had a plan.
Vonnie said he stayed at Dirk House that night.
His primary residence was in Atlanta, Georgia.
He said he fell asleep on Dirk's couch, downstairs in the living room.
He had a room there.
You know, he was the assistant and Dirk wanted to keep him close.
I'm not too sure why Dirk was out of L.A. at the time.
I'm guessing maybe, you know, we know Dirk, Chicago,
from Chicago, he pretty much took up residence in Atlanta,
but he caught the case in 2019.
Vaughn gets killed in Atlanta, 2019, 2020,
and niggins try to run up in his crib, 20, 21,
and it appears that Dirk kind of wanted to, like,
create a little bit of space.
I'm not too sure why he was in L.A. so much.
Maybe he was just working on the album.
I got to imagine maybe that.
But he wanted Vani there, and Vani goes there.
Vani rents a BMW.
Vani's driving around the BMW.
Vani been driving his BMW for two goddamn months,
and that's the same car.
that's the trail car in the day of murder.
Vonny's a fucking idiot.
Either that or maybe smart and he just wanted to get caught.
That he could blame all this shit on Dirk
and, you know what I mean,
finally wipe his hand clean of all of this bullshit
that he, in his mind, Dirk got him into
because you could tell there's a little bit of,
there's a hint of him kind of feeling
and kind of trying to feel like the victim like,
oh yeah, like Dirk was just obsessed with killing
and we had to do it, you know?
Even though he describes himself as supposedly
driving the car that
shot at Cuano Rondo in May
2021 and he said that they got out on foot
and they chased Cuando like that don't sound
like an unwilling type of nigga. If you're getting
out on foot, the unwilling type of nigger
he's a nigga that'd be like, yeah
like yeah I drove by their car
but it wasn't the right time to shoot.
Not the nigga who drives
cuts the car off, hops out with guns
chasing. That don't seem like he's unwilling.
The unwilling person got excuses
why they didn't run down or why they
didn't shoot. He looked like
he was about the shooting. I don't know if he was exactly the shooter in that particular situation,
but it said that they got out of the car, which I'm included me and him too.
And said he usually doesn't stay there. He woke up to a call from Jam, basically asking him
to come and get him. Then the white BMW is shown. Vani is driving it at around 9.34 a.m.
And this is August 19, 2020. That morning, they saw Kondo Rondo, Le Pababab, and, and, and
others with him. They were sitting there. Jam wanted to shoot
Cuondo Rundo right then and there. He hesitated and contacted the other guys in
Infinity because Jam was in the BMW at this time with OTF money. And
basically Jam was like y'all saw we could have had him right here,
but y'all slap y'all slacking, you know, and they pretty much followed
Condo and escalate to multiple locations. What's up? It's your boy. Did not
date. Okay.
much followed Coondo Rondo and escalate to multiple locations, including the Wee Shop.
Bonnie says he waited 45 minutes outside and then the Infinity showed up.
Coondo Rondo and then were parked inside of the parking space by the Wee Shop.
Boogie, Flaco, Lindsay, and Diti was in the Infinity at the time.
Five minutes after the vehicle arrived, Jam jumped in the Infinity.
There was a lot of back and forth in discussing who, what, when, where it was going to happen.
as far as the shooting and they pretty much, you know, made impulsive plans to kill Crono Rondo.
Vani identified the White Infinity and they are driving around trying to figure out how to kill Cwondo
the Infinity and the B&W follow close behind and they see the Escalade park at the Bap store.
They discussed murdering Cwondo inside the Bap store but felt they felt that they wouldn't get away with it.
So Vonny gave the idea to box the men on the freeway.
He went into details about how he was going to do it.
He explained the speed limit.
He explained which side of the road that they was going to be.
And he was like, oh, they're going to be on the left side.
So we're going to box them in and et cetera.
It's like it goes to show that he really was mastermining.
Yeah, but even then.
So Vonny's talking about boxing men.
Boxing men means two cars.
That means the BMW probably was going to try to cut them off.
And then the other car was probably going to be on the.
of them and the shooter's going to jump out on the side.
Regardless, like, surveillance video would have put that BMW there, right?
And that's what I'm trying to say.
Like, I don't know if y'all look at Vonny.
Sometimes people look at, like, the nonviolent people as the smart ones.
Vani's not smart.
He's a stupid ass nigga, too.
You're driving a rental car.
You've been driving for two months.
Even if no shooter hops out the car, if you help box in that car and stop the car that
shooters could do what they got to do, your car somehow will be known and seen, okay?
And when it's known and seen, it's going to come back to you.
So the mere fact that you have an exotic rental car and not two hot cars, you should have
had two hot cars, literally, two hot cars.
If you really was going to be on some shit, you're trying to bring the rental to do
everything but have the shooters hop out of.
You have them trailing, you have them stalking, you wanted to use it to box them in.
You basically were saying you're going to get caught.
Even though he claimed that there was not a plan.
And after driving on the freeway and then exit in the freeway, they lost sight of the escalade and ran red lights and then eventually found the escalate.
After finding them at the gas station in the BMW, Vonie let Dede and them know.
And they decided to kill Kondo Rondo right there at the gas station.
station. Boogie, Flaco, Lindsay, and Jam are inside of the Infinity at this time.
After the shooting, Dee Dee's phone rang and they said that somebody got hit.
Vani said he saw the escalade driving up San Vicente and that the back wonder was shot out,
but at the time they didn't know if anybody was hit.
Then they ditched the Infinity just one block away from the murder scene at the gas station.
Vani picked them up and called an Uber black truck and sent them to the nearest restaurant.
They went to the in-and-out in the black truck.
And then the parking lot at the end and out was shown.
A picture was shown.
No, that's not what was said.
They said they drove around for five minutes.
They, Boogie, left the car somewhere.
And after they left the car somewhere, which, by the way, we get to find out later,
Vonny said he didn't burn the car.
remember the instructions, the thought was, it's a stolen car, you should burn it.
They didn't burn the car.
What they actually did instead was Vani said he went back to the car and wiped it down.
He wiped it down for Prince, this and third, and he left it parked illegally.
And it got towed eventually.
But I don't remember it wasn't a block away abandoned.
And here's also the kicker about it.
I wonder when Vani went back to wipe, wipe it down.
I wonder if this got to be when they're on the way to the airport at this point, right?
So they got to be on the way to the airport to go back to Chicago.
I wonder when Vonny goes to wipe that car down.
Remember Flaka?
Flaka said he left his gun in the car.
Flaka left the gun in the car.
It wasn't immediately known what Jam and Browneyes did with their gun,
but his gun he left in the car.
So did he grab the guns too?
I guess we'll probably find out at some point, right?
And Vani is there in the white BMW,
and the escalade is not pretty much there,
but it's not him in the escalate.
It's an actual driver, an unrelated party.
And Dini and Flacco hopped out of the BMW.
They went into In and out and figured it out.
And then suddenly, Vani pulled money out of his pocket
to pay the Uber black truck to take them to San Diego.
Okay, that makes sense.
So I was wondering, they had called the Uber truck to bring them to In and Out.
And while they're at In-N-Out, they tell the Uber truck don't leave.
And I was wondering how they got the same, that same Uber Black truck brought them to San Diego.
But apparently they pulled out cash and they offered them like, hey, listen, because you just bring us there now.
Like, fuck your Uber app.
Let's just bring me there.
Okay.
And that's what happened.
That makes sense.
Bunny left In-N-N-Out, parked the BMW on the side street, somewhere in the valley.
The car was too hot and tied to murders why he said he parked it.
He just followed Condo Rondo and escalate him.
Oh, now we hear.
Okay.
So, all right.
So, Vani moved the car.
Okay.
Okay.
Here we go.
On the side street, somewhere in the valley, the car was too hot and tired to murder is why he said he parked it.
So, so Vonny brought it to the valley.
He then called an Uber back to Dirk's house.
It was late afternoon.
When he got back to Dirk house,
Dirk asked him if they got somebody.
Vani didn't claim he told Dirk that he wasn't...
Okay, so when the shooters all go in the escalade, right?
They're going back to San Diego.
Vani spins back from in and out, and he goes to go get the car.
He goes to get the car.
He moves the car to somewhere else.
And when he moves the car to somewhere else,
he probably wipes it down and shit like that.
Now, Dirk, supposedly to understand that Dirk thinks that he's going to burn
that car and actually dirt asked him like yo you burn the hot car right and he's and he's like yeah but he lied
he's and happy about him sending them on a dummy mission and that it was sloppy in beverly hills
funny and dirt seeing the news report together about quondo rondo screaming no and so at that
moment they figured that they got somebody that kondo rondo cared about dirt was happy and you know
because they finally got somebody to
slide for Keith. Basically, they finally slid for King Von and they hit somebody that
Kondo Rondo cared about. Then Bonnie went back to the BMW to make sure the police wasn't on it.
Dirk and Dedey told him, matter of fact, everybody told him to go and burn the white infinity.
Vani got rid of the white infinity by basically driving it to downtown LA and ditching it.
He then lied to little Dirk saying, oh, not the Valley, what?
He burnt it. And Dirk was inquiring, well, if you burn it.
How come there's no news reports of the white infinity being?
Yeah.
Smirkyo was expecting a news report of someone, you know, getting out of a car or burning a car.
Okay, we're going to go to Cousin Tito tweets in a second.
Burnt, Dirt became suspicious of him.
Then on August of 20 of 2020, Dirk told Vani to purchase new phones.
Okay.
And this is the time where they already showed.
the proof and messages that Dirk sent to Jason Smith said,
hey, I got a new phone number.
Vanny then activated all the lines.
It was three lines at the time.
And then the next day, Vani went and purchased another phone line by himself.
A phone line ended in 9707.
And then after the murder, LAPD,
search records from the BMW dealership.
And Vanny told Dirk,
and Dirk said,
Vani was overthinking things and they're just doing their job.
Vani then decided.
I think that Dirt knew that it was going to, that nigga was going to get caught.
I think that nigga, I think Dirt knew, Dirk's not dumb.
He said they're just doing their job.
I mean, yeah, there was no shooters that hopped out of that car, but.
To distance.
Shooters did hop in the car if it was possibly caught on like some street surveillance camera, you know?
He said himself from Dirk.
And then he was ultimately.
fired in February, 2003.
Bunny felt Dirk was dangerous, according to his testimony, and that he didn't want to be
around him.
Vani pled guilty to all five counts.
He said he wasn't truthful at first, but he later was.
He's cooperating with the government.
He told lies during jail conversations.
He's admitted that.
And people close to him is upset that he's testified against Dirk in his murder because
he's supposed to stick the cold and not switch.
And then they got to the cross-examination of Brian Stills, which was.
will be updated in the next video.
Like the video, subscribe.
Okay, Brian, is it Brian, I thought it was Drew Finland.
Thought it was Drew Finland, y'all.
What's up?
It's your boy, did not, this is Day 9 at the LD.
Oh, no, mine is Brian Steele.
They put Brian Steele on that one.
Trial.
This video is about the cross-examination
of O T. Avani by Brian Stills.
So off the back, it's been confirmed
that Oteavani met with the FBI, LAPD,
and other government agencies a total of 13 times.
He entered a plea agreement with them just recently,
in June, 2026.
And Brian Stills pointed out that the charges that you enter the plea agreement with comes with
a mandatory life sentence and the government has to make a substantial findings of his cooperation
prior to Judge Fitzgerald giving him a sentence.
And Brian Stills pointed out off the bat, he has a lot of jail calls with his family.
He talked to someone named Breezy, read his mom, his fiancee, and others.
There was a phone call played with,
in between O'Tel Vani and Breezy dated August the 1st, 2025.
Vani said he's going to be on his A game like it's a job interview.
He's going to speak elegantly, have his lunchbox ready, be well rested to do his thing
and go home.
And then he started laughing in the phone call.
Brian still became extremely upset and said, this is serious and not a joking matter.
Vonny says it means he has to tell the truth and to be sharp on his game.
Vani received an an announcement just recently from the government on August the 22nd,
2026.
It was a warning because he was talking about his case to people over the...
What's up?
Isha Boy, did not...
Okay.
...206.
It was a warning because he was talking about his case to people over the phone in the jail calls.
Brian Stills pointed to the agreement paragraph 7 regarding his core operation.
Around that time, he was on the phone telling everyone that is his time.
to shine and perform in the court of love.
Brian Steele says, we may be in Hollywood, but this is not an act.
This is not a joke.
This is somebody's life on the line, as in Loddirt and the other defendants.
Bunny says at no point he has not been truthful.
Brian Still says, yeah, we're going to be talking about your honesty later.
Vani met with his fiance at the Wardrop Astoria Hotel on August,
excuse me, prior to his arrest.
He had a five-hour meeting with his wife
and the FBI showed up.
He was investigated by them at this hotel.
The August 19, 2020, murder occurred.
By the way, I just seen this.
Wow.
Setti Nash, who has been a big defender,
Setti Nash, who's been a big defender of Dirk during this entire,
what I mean, defender, like, he's been really optimistic.
He has tweeted out.
He has tweeted out.
He said, if trial ended right now,
Dirk based on lyrics and text would be guilty of conspiracy to commit murder to be honest.
Wow.
Wow.
It appears that Setti Nash, someone who is really optimistic, he's admitting that his mind is being changed.
Now, Dirk still has his case to put on.
He has 12 witnesses.
But we keep hearing, oh, Brian Steele cooked this person.
What does Cook mean?
Getting the better of someone in the exchange?
I think that's easy.
Brian Steele is a professional.
I think he's going to get that.
Is he accomplishing, or any of these defense attorneys accomplishing,
the main goal, which clearly would showcase that Dirk had zero idea
that there was a plot to commit murder,
zero input on a plot to commit murder,
zero reason for this plot to commit murder
and all of the things that everyone is saying
and we're getting multiple people saying the same story.
I ain't get paid.
I ain't get paid.
It's going to be interesting.
And I wonder why,
I wonder if they're going to do this on cross,
but the government never started off with Vani and say,
hey, were you offered payment to?
It looked like Vani was the only person that wasn't offered payment,
but it's like the government is kind of insinuating and say,
yeah, we didn't have to,
offer to pay Vaughney because that was his quote-un-called cousin.
But if Sedi Nash is, you know, he's in court.
Hmm.
Drew says we'll hit, Drew will have to blast it in the minds of how Vani was already doing these things.
Vani's digging a hole that he could have did this.
Vani's relationship with Vonn is minimal in Fed's eyes.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Shit.
It's fired by Dirk again February, 2003.
The Wardrop Hotel kicked the FBI out because, you know,
Dayton won't know, no FBI investigation to be a part of that.
And then he had to go down to the station.
So the Wardoff kicked the FBI out.
That's crazy.
Bonnie told the FBI that his life was great,
that he's been staying at the Wardrop Hotel.
Ward off.
What could I possibly have done?
I have no affiliation with Dirk anymore in his initial interview.
um bunny then told the FBI that he was flipping houses in Detroit bunny told the FBI he knew they were following him around
and that he had fancy cars and luxury housing in Sherman Oaks in my neighborhood he was staying in a house
in my neighborhood oh shit and they got videos off of his Instagram of him wearing his signature big diamond
ear rings. The FBI studied Vonny's Instagram to keep tracks on him. They saw him staying at the
best hotels throughout Los Angeles. And this is after he was...
Well, I wonder if he's spending Dirk's money or I think he was after he left Dirk.
By a little Dirk. After it's fired. Maybe that goes to proof that he had stole some money.
A lot of times thieves want to spend up that bread, not save it.
And the night before his arrest, he was actually eating that towel.
a Japanese restaurant, which is very exclusive in Chicago.
Bunny talked about all the fraud activity.
He was involved in, and then we went to lunch break.

this extra clip from the academics interview because at some point they're going to play the academics
interview with dirk where he's talking about they don't say slide for von no more must be something in the
water i don't know where they chilled out on that now that's obviously going to be quite damning
dirk's defense and this is low-key like this is like a brian steel classic i'm not going to lie to you
because back in the ysl rico days they would play all of this incriminating music from young thug
talking about i shot it is mammy no longer mentioned me all this kind of stuff all right we
you know i'm saying all types of incriminating stuff brian steel had the genius move to say okay you're
going to play all of that, then we want to play lifestyle with young thuggle talking about rich gang,
all of this gang stuff that ain't really a gang. They ended up playing that and it really was smart
and it muddied the waters. Now their plan for this is they wanted to play the DJ academics clip
where Dirk is basically on there saying he don't worry about 6-9. He's not bothered about what
6-9 is saying all the slide for Von stuff. He's saying he don't let that affect him at all.
Now that would have been a smart move because we saw yesterday the footage that was basically
6-9 with WAC 100 talking about, oh, they're telling me why did I snitch, why didn't I slide on the
nine, why didn't Dirk going to slide for Von? Why isn't he sliding for Von right now? He didn't do
nothing. So that was going to be their kind of counterbalance when we was hearing from numerous
witnesses that apparently Lil Dirk was personally upset by 6-9 constantly, you know,
bitching about Slyde for Vaughn, constantly rubbing it in Dirk's face that he needs to slide all of this
kind of stuff saying, why hasn't nobody slid for Vonn? And it was confirmed that basically
Dirk was bothered. He was upset. He was tired of 6-9 constantly saying slide for von. They said
previously that I think it was in Fluckers testimony that you know it was or maybe it might have been
no it was at the start of Voni's testimony he basically said look it was already viral everybody
saying slide for Vonn but it was actually like six nine making it even bigger that kind of blew it up
took it to the next level made it a whole big thing the judge said denied not allowed to have that
motion he wasn't having it he basically just didn't think that it made sense basically saying look
you're basically asking for just like any any event of your client
basically denying that he did this denying the motive to be included he said look it's not relevant
it's not to be included you just trying to put a bunch of you know instances of dirt denying it in
with the jury obviously the whole defense the entire point of being here and dirt pleading not guilty is
that he's denying it so they basically said that not letting you have that in it sounded like
there were some other things that were still on the table and i do think that there is going to be
kind of like it's hard out here man there i got some hedge of him i do think that there is going to be
some more interesting moves by uh duke's lawyers we just had vonny on the stand the prosecution
completed all of their stuff and then drew findling he was torching vony did i say jam i meant
vony vony was on the stand right so it's going to be interesting i'll let you guys know i'm going to
tell you everything about vony that he said that cooked dirk and then i'm going to tell you how
drew findling kicked things off he set it off with some pretty spicy stuff against vony
all right so we're back in court for the little dirk trial today and i'm okay and there's a
barrage of updates that have came through from trap lord ross here we go chat we're going to get all
into it, all right? Here's the second thing. Back in court with OTF Voni on the stand and he said
some pretty crazy stuff about the plan to slide for Vonn that kicked into action quite literally
hours after King Vonn died. They basically said how did you feel when King Vond died? He said he was
devastated, heartbroken. He said it was a bad day. They basically said that they all knew who was
fighting Vonn. They saw the leaked video. Everybody worked out. It was Quando Rondo and Little Tim
straight away and he knew that Tim got arrested. He said he spoke with Dirk about Vonn's death right after
and there was a meetup at King Von's home to pay respects to his mother who pulled up.
This was just hours after Von was pronounced dead.
Now, apparently the people at that get together was Von's mom, Dirk, Gleesh, Moo-Wop,
legendary O'Block people, Von's sister.
He said it was a whole crowd gathered at Vonn's crib.
Now, what was interesting is he identified some people.
They showed to pick a Mu-Wop and Durking them on a boat.
He circled M-Wop, all right, and they basically said that the group, they got straight to it.
They discussed the shooting.
They discussed getting revenge.
before slide for Vaughn was even a thing they were planning to slide for Vaughan he said we didn't
really discuss it it was just like it was just like it was just obvious that that's what was going to
happen right so dirt, Gleche, move up other O Block members they said the purpose of the discussion it
wasn't a case of should we slide it they got straight to let's figure out more about Cuondo Rondo
let's work out where he's staying let's work out if he lives in Atlanta they knew he was a Savannah
rapper but the shooting happened in Atlanta they said they were trying to locate Cuondo Rondo and
little Tim and the plan was to kill
Cuondo Rondo. That was just
straight up, right? That was the plan allegedly.
Now, what was interesting is he said
the... Now, the difference
between Vonny and everybody else is
that a lot of them didn't have direct
communication with Dirk.
You have Vani
who he
admits, Dirk wanted
him to stay by his side,
stay in L.A. He even had a
room at the
Encino Airbnb that Dirk was
getting, Dirk wanted him by him side, his side, okay? And with that being said, he's not getting
third party information, not from Booney Mo, not from Doo, not from Dutie Lowe, not from Tony C or whoever
the hell. He's hearing things from Dirk's mouth directly. Dirk is not talking in code because
they're talking in person. Now, here's the thing. His credibility is going to be the main thing.
If you believe Vani, if you believe Vani, Dirk is probably cooked. If you believe Vani, if you believe
Vani, Dirk is cooked. Now, here's the thing, too, about people probably judging Vani's
testimony. I know, I know y'all got a trap low Ross for him saying, Dirk is just blaming this
on Vani. But it's not really blaming this on Vani. He's saying Vani admitted to this crime. That's where
the crime ends. The crime ends with Vani. Vani was the guy who was seemingly the kingpin because,
yeah, he must have misused Dirk's funds. Dirk had nothing, he knew nothing about it. Now,
Here's a question that you've got to answer.
And even though we're not in court,
you got to answer this question.
Do you think that Vani comes across as the person that has the resources
or could manipulate the resources of Dirk?
He definitely has the motive because Vaughn was like damn there his cousin.
But he would have all these things.
Keep in mind, the shooters think he's a goofy.
The shooters don't really know him.
it appears that no one takes orders from him.
In the hierarchy of things, it looks like shit comes down to Diti,
and then it goes to the shooters, and they respect it.
Anything comes from Vonny, they kind of just ignore it,
and actually, Jam feels like he's a goofy.
Will a jury believe that Vonny is the kingpin?
Because that's the thing would murder for hire.
I think the element of there is a conspiracy is clear.
There was a conspiracy.
There was a plan to murder Kondo Rondo.
That is abundantly clear if you ask me.
Now, is it murder for hire?
Because that's a conspiracy too.
Well, maybe.
But conspiracy of murder to me is clear.
Here's where the Dirk element comes in.
For you to say Dirk is not involved,
you probably have to be convinced that Vani did it.
You've got to be convinced that Vani was the kingpin,
that Bonnie called all these strings.
Because somebody did.
This wasn't a group of individuals
that just randomly all came together
and all had equal parts.
The killers didn't have any reason to go kill
for Dave Von Bennett, aka King Vaughn.
They didn't have reasons.
They didn't have the means.
These guys, they flew with the shirt on their back.
Other OTF members look like they relied upon.
Dirk, they're reading text messages to say,
Dirk stop paying niggis rents.
Hey, no more rents, no car payments, no nothing for y'all.
You either slide or you die.
So, you know, Dirk's defense team has a tall order in trying to,
in their cross.
And that's why I think they put Brian Steele on this.
You need an animal on this.
A complete animal.
And Brian Steele could be an animal.
You need to make it seem by the time he get off the stand,
this nigger thought of this sick-ass plan by himself.
He thought of this sick, demented plan by his fucking self.
And now, like a coward, he's trying to blame it on his boss.
That's the only way.
Otherwise, if you admit that there was a,
conspiracy to commit the murder, I don't know how just making sense you could stop short of
Dirk.
Given the fact, Dirk resources is used.
Dirk seems to be the only one everybody's trying to please.
Everyone's relationship with each other is hot and cold.
I've met him twice, but I know him for 15 years.
Dirk is the common denominator that brings all these guys together to L.A.
for this one particular thing.
Dirk is in L.A.
And then the guy, even if you believe he's a kingpin, he goes back and forth to Dirk's house.
They have to completely make it where the jurors, after Vani get off the stand, they're like, oh, it's clear as day.
Vonny did this shit.
