Starting point is 00:00:01 You guys deserve better. All right. Let's get this going. Let's get this going. I got to fix the sleep schedule. I got to aim tomorrow for a, for like a 4 o'clock stream or so, you know? I think that's what I'm going to do.
Starting point is 00:00:25 I got to get only like 4.4 p.m. We got to fix this. We got to fix this, chat. We got to fix this. Somebody said, what the fuck am I doing all day? My mom been at the crib. there's a lot of other like business things I'm attending to sleep schedules a little bit out of whack shit's ton of snow here I know I know in you you guys mind it might just be like yo act you only
Starting point is 00:00:51 have one fucking job not necessarily but of course it's the most important job you're right okay well I pre well so so so let me tell you like so I woke up like I said an alarm I'm like all right I was a little tired again because I was in and out of sleep today. I don't know. Maybe it's my body just sitting in, bro. You got to get a little bit more than three hours. So I got off stream at like five last night. I wake up at eight.
Starting point is 00:01:25 I'm like, well, three hours ain't going to do it. But I could start my morning. I do emails. I do some calls. Get my, you know, deal with my dogs. Then after that, you know, my mom's here. So, you know, I'm just like with her too. And I'm like, all right.
Starting point is 00:01:41 In between that, I like take a nap. But I sleep for like an hour. Wake up. you know, I feel like every time I go to sleep, I get like 5,000 messages relating to social media, post this, what about this, this campaign, this, this, this, this. Again, I like to be hands-on with everything. I don't do business managers. Why? That's how you get robbed.
Starting point is 00:02:05 So I'm doing everything myself. I'm like, I got 15 hats on. Like, during the day, I'm a construction worker, and I'm a super-duper business manager. and I do half legal stuff. I do a lot of, you know, breaking out of diamonds and shit. But, like, when it comes to my business stuff, unless it's really, like, complicated, I'm handling minority stuff. And then, so I'm in and out of sleep, my dogs. What else is going on today?
Starting point is 00:02:31 Yeah, the snow is killing us over here. And, yeah, eventually, I was like, all right, cool. I'm going to get up at, like, 10 o'clock. So I'm like, I got to take a nap. I'm going to get up at 10 o'clock. I'm going to stream at 10 o'clock, 10 p.m. I was listening. I don't know what the fuck I was listening to.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Maybe it was a sneaker or something like that. So I got it on my phone. I got like Netflix on. I put the alarm on and I'm not going to lie to you. Sleep felt so good. But that's like your body tell you like, motherfucker like you can't just rock out with three hours of sleep. So anyway,
Starting point is 00:03:02 I woke up, went back to sleep, woke up at 11, woke up at 12. And then around after midnight, it's always the dilemma, right? When I want to stream. Do you get on stream now knowing that you're probably not going to have peak audience because a lot of your audience went to sleep?
Starting point is 00:03:18 right yeah they'll catch vaude but they want to sleep or do you just take the night reset and come back tomorrow now it's easy for me to like skip a day but if i promise like yo let's do every day i'm like i can't so we're here now uh people catch the vaud it's okay not tripping welcome welcome welcome welcome I see we are, are we on all platforms yet? I don't know why, like, every time I try to multi-stream, the Academy works perfectly until last night. I don't know what happened last night. But I'm, when I'm trying to get on,
Starting point is 00:03:57 King Academics, sometimes it's trippy. All right, cool. We are here, but thank you guys to the night shift crew, and I'll tell you another reason why I do stream late. I always told you guys that streaming is not a, you know, when I started streaming, it wasn't like the idea of streaming being your main thing was never a thing. Like, I started streaming for the idea and the concept of 300.
Starting point is 00:04:22 I want to find the most dedicated and loyal supporters of mine that no matter what time, right? Like, so I love sparking up streams at 4 a.m. You know why? Because I don't want to talk to everybody. I want to talk to y'all. And obviously, we've gotten so big at this point. Pause. It appears that I don't know if that's even possible anymore.
Starting point is 00:04:41 You know what I mean? I think even if I, you know, maybe if I go. in Discord and I like do like a like a AMA or something like that maybe that's like I'm just talking to y'all but our streams drastically change after I realize anytime I stream people clip it and things that I would think that I'm only talking to my audience with right which might not play the best if it gets outside my audience it started happening a lot so like I feel like I'm on a mainstream stage every time I'm on um stream but the idea of me like streaming at 4 a.m. for me I'm like well, this is for the core fans anyway, right?
Starting point is 00:05:16 Like, like, the guy who hears about academics and the first thing that comes to is my, like, hey, weren't you in that video with takeoff and amigos? Does I live so bad or bullshit? Like, I get that sometimes. Like, I'm not streaming for that guy. I'm streaming for the person who's been rocking for years, night in, night out.
Starting point is 00:05:34 I feel like I know you guys. When I look in the chat, like, I see the same names. So, you know, that's the difficult thing about growing. it's hard to figure out die hard true supporters those are who I really care about and also you can have a real conversation with right you know some takes you got to you know the world is pussy people are whatever you can't say certain stuff but if you're really talking to your friends water cooler talk you could be like you know that bitch you know that bitch line right you know that nigga probably did that shit right like you can't do that anymore because it gets clipped up.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Everybody's like, yo, he made a definitive statement. And so anyway, it's all good. We will start off and not too sure. I didn't really have a run of show tonight. So we're going to kind of figure it out. Blueface drama. It's like the gift that keeps giving, I guess. We'll probably get some Epstein stuff.
Starting point is 00:06:30 There's some more new angles here. And, you know, last night I asked you guys if you guys wanted me to look into other, you know, possibly possible. weird iterations of what this Epstein stuff has turned into. You guys seemingly were a little bit interesting. We're still like, you know, we're on music watch. Jay Cole is dropping in two days. First big release of 2026. Drake, I got a few snippets, you know, I...
Starting point is 00:06:59 You know, I get these Drake songs and I'm like, you should I even play him? If I play him, his fans are mad. Yo, Ak, you're fucking it up. You're ruining it. The other people, they're happy. They're like, yo, okay, it gets as excited. You can't please everybody.
Starting point is 00:07:17 It is what it is. I didn't make a call out to a lot of people in the music industry or the podcast music, whatever we do, whatever industry you call that. I wanted them to talk about a Jay-Z thing. I'm not too sure if that was received well. You know, I think people have a great way of taking what I say out of context. You know, me asking people to comment on something qualitatively like they do everything else. makes them believe that I need them to say a particular narrative,
Starting point is 00:07:50 like, yo, Jay-Z is a pedophile. That's what they're expecting me to say. Or that's what I'm expecting them to say. No, no, no. That's one qualitative conversation. You know, these days I feel like we live in this age of transparency. It's just like, you know, I think it would be a different age in a different media space and landscape when Jordan retired.
Starting point is 00:08:10 I think if Jordan retired, if Jordan was the greatest player ever, or let's say it's LeBron. If LeBron won two rings in Miami, and right after that, when people are expecting him to go for his 30s, like, you know what, I'll quit. And if there were rumors that maybe this guy's a gambling addict, maybe he's in gambling debt, maybe something else is going on,
Starting point is 00:08:35 maybe he got secretly suspended. There'll be a lot of conversation about it because these days the media really picks at everything. I'm only asking for the same type of transparency when it comes to like this Jay-Z thing. I'm not saying Jay-Z is anything. I don't know. I'm very honest and open with, you know, again, there's a whole generation of artists that I think I've covered them and I've lived and grew with them in terms of their career. I've covered every aspect.
Starting point is 00:09:02 I've talked to these people. I've talked to people around them. Their labels. You know, if people ask me, like, if you ask me certain things that may have not been reported in the media, but if you ask me stuff about the about Chief Key for Uzi or obviously six times is a homie of mine but like
Starting point is 00:09:18 if you ask me about the people who have covered in intimately maybe I wouldn't hop online and that's not me being fake maybe I wouldn't hop online and say these things but if you were like yo I heard I heard like da da da da da da da da da da da and like not many people know I might be able to tell you like
Starting point is 00:09:34 no that shit really happened you know what does that matter it matters that because I was there because I was tapped in, I have the knowledge to not necessarily be an authority on it, but be able to speak about it. What I've asked of my colleagues is just, yo, what's up with Jay? Like, you know, I think the conversation with Jay is, was Jay a fucking weirdo? Was Jay Z a weirdo for being attracted to these women who, number one, all were desperate
Starting point is 00:10:07 for music careers very early on and when they were young? And did he, I'm not saying pray, but, I mean, did he target these women when they were on the cusp of turning 18? That's the conversation. Does anyone want to have it? Nobody wants to have that conversation. Now, the thing is I keep telling you is better to be liked than to be right. Because if it was someone we didn't like, right, we would have that conversation all day. The reason why I called on my colleagues, they're older than me, they lived through the era. Some of them, they were very close to Rockefeller. They had a relationship. They've heard. heard things and we're not saying let's go write a narrative based on gossip but we should probably
Starting point is 00:10:47 start to unpack some of these things because I do look at every person that was older in the media space I look at y'all a little bit odd remember I told you how I'm really forthcoming with all all the relationships I've really had this shit when I was on everyday struggle that was like really in my opinion my um the first introduction to the industry soon as I get there. I remember Joe didn't, there's something with Joe in Complex, so I'm doing it with a bunch of guests.
Starting point is 00:11:19 And one guest comes on, it was like, hey, yo, we've been listening to you, like, you're dope, whatever, whatever. And I'm like,
Starting point is 00:11:24 yo, listen to shit, I never thought I would meet you. I never really thought I would, you know, the industry would give a fuck about what I'm doing, but great,
Starting point is 00:11:30 I'm glad I'm here. And they're giving me the lowdown on the industry. And this is what happens. Like, these guys, they know what's going on. They're giving a lowdown.
Starting point is 00:11:38 And it was in 2017, the lowdown that I got, pause, extra pause. Hey, listen, Accurneu to this, Diddy's going to hit you up eventually. I said, what do you mean? You don't know? Did he's gay? That's what they told me. That's what they told, they told me back then. This was the conversation. And the whole time I remember hearing it, and I remember the office I was sitting in in complex and I'm like, how come you have so much information about him, his get down, who he's tried, situations he's been in, but nobody says this publicly. It's one of those unwritten, unspoken things. Fuck it. But they gave me the warning.
Starting point is 00:12:20 I never met Diddy. The clothes I came to meet Diddy was Diddy try and tell me I should link up with him in London. I'm not going to lie. That felt like it was a backdoor tie special, right? Obviously, I was talking some smack about his side chick who he later called Shorty Wop. That was young Miami. And I was like, he was like, yo, you'll come party, playboy. Now, I don't know if he thought I was fat. But I don't think I look that fabulous. I don't know what's this type, though. But back in the back of my mind kept echoing the same things being said by those people who unsolicitedly was telling me, watch out for Diddy. Hmm. Never ended up meeting with Diddy.
Starting point is 00:13:03 First time I ever spoke to him, he was in lockdown with Takashi 69. Takashi 69 passed him the phone. First words he said to me, what up, Playboy? Documented. My story doesn't change. Why do I say that? I say that because in 2023 or late 2023 and now and then 2024 when he gets indicted, the whole industry act like they were shocked.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Oh my God. What? And I felt that was a little bit fake. I felt it was a little bit fake. Because the majority of these people who have been in this industry and been all these parties and really like been around these people, they all tried to warn me, but they did it off the record. They were like, yo, watch out.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Let me just tell you this one story. And you come to figure out when, you know, in the age of now, we're looking at the Epstein files and trying to figure what do we extrapolate from that? Well, what do we extrapolate from the whole Diddy situation? Now, granted, let's be honest about the whole Diddy thing. Diddy was exonerated of the worst things he was accused of, which is sex trafficking and also racketeering with a criminal enterprise in terms of sex trafficking, kidnapping, you know, car bombing,
Starting point is 00:14:19 all this other stuff. But he wasn't that. The question I ask is like, why is everybody acting surprised when I heard y'all warn me and talk about this off camera? Well, I'll tell you the simple answer. Well, Diddy was touting a spirit brand name Sirak, owned by Diageo. Everybody wanted to be a sarah boy. Diddy had a huge, you know, pause, portfolio of not only artists that he's worked with historically,
Starting point is 00:14:56 but his business acumen along with other things made him a valuable person and also a person who didn't want to go against. So nobody talked about him. So everybody sat by while Diddy was doing his thing. And so we've not heard one person said they heard. Again, I heard in 2017. I just came off YouTube. They taught. Well, one person in particular that I would know.
Starting point is 00:15:20 But a few people like, Diddy, Diddy, Diddy? I'm like, huh? Go back, watch my videos. I all tell you, I'm like, what? I don't know if I named Diddy at the time because they were so scared of Diddy. I'm like, I'm not going to name Diddy. I just got in the game. But my point of this is that everybody knew, but they all acted surprise.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Once he got indicted. And that's why I get to the J-Gy. conversation because the same thing like I didn't know about Diddy and I'm not saying that Diddy and JZ are equals. I don't know but I look at the conversation not being had as eerily suspect because it was the same thing I was thinking back when I heard rumors and back channel talk about Diddy but no one would bring it to light until he gets indicted everybody booked a Vlad TV podcast just to talk about it. To me, that was fake.
Starting point is 00:16:21 To me, that was fake. So here I am. We're now faced with this. It's not like people or I are just grabbing and reaching for straws at this thing with Jay-Z. We're going off what other people are saying. We don't know. I genuinely don't know. I've never met it.
Starting point is 00:16:40 I've seen Jay-Z one time. I go to watch Kendrick Lamar when this is, and TDE felt like, you know, they probably needed Jaboy. When Dave Free was escort me around the building at the Barclays, Kendrick Lamar, he's doing all the type of stuff. I'm seeing him play the piano. I'm like, Kenj could play the piano. Okay, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:16:58 I look up and I see there's a little murmur in the crowd. They're like, oh, and he's in a skybox when he was wearing all white. And I see him walk to the front, and I can see him looking at Kendrick, I don't know if it was like Illuminati rock nation ritual, but Jay-Z being there at the Barclays at the time was almost like a right of passage for Kendrick. You made it.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Jay approves. One of the greatest. Now you're one of the greatest. Obviously, that approval happened many years ago, but I remember being there in the murmur and the crowd. Everybody started looking up to catch a glimpse of Hove. I don't know, Jay-Z. I can't speak to his character.
Starting point is 00:17:45 I've heard stories. I don't know. I never lived it. I wasn't in, quote, quote, the industry at the time. When I came here in context, it was around 2001, I came right before the towers got hit. Jay Zia Nas, that was the conversation. So I come in the middle of this heated rap battle or this heated confrontation between two amazing artists. I have to learn about his come up, me delving into hip hop culture because me, I love music, really all music, but like hip hop culture is such an amazing, fascinating culture, like I fall in love instantly with a lot of his even previous works even at that time.
Starting point is 00:18:34 I fall in love with reasonable doubt. Fall in love with the blueprint. Fall in love with volume two. I fall in love with the idea of a guy whose mantra was they didn't want to sign me, so I just fell in love with the blueprint. created the label. I took that to help establish my media brand. If Hot 97 and Power 105 don't want me, I'm going to create my own media company where I'm the star. I think it worked out fine to me. And I will say partly is because if I looked at a motto in a blueprint, all pun intended, that Jay-Z created. But I'm saying, I don't know too much about these stories that, you know,
Starting point is 00:19:17 These are these back channel stories. When I got told about Diddy? They said, did he tried an actor? They said there's this actor. And by the way, I don't want to mention that actor's name. But that actor was never the same. But he was super hot, pause, when he first got on. They said, did he invited him to a certain place?
Starting point is 00:19:35 And did he tried him? Maybe this actress told the story. I got to look, but I don't want to just throw a name out there. And I was just, stop it. That never happened. And I remember they looked at me because that was the naive non-inist. guy like, oh, you don't know, do you? You don't know. Years to come, I realize I didn't know. So all I'm calling up on is my peers, the people who grew up maybe a little bit older than me,
Starting point is 00:20:03 they cover Jay-Z, you know, front and back, the Elliott Wilson's, and let me not, I don't want to call no more names. I'm going to stop with the name calling. But these are people who I've gotten my information about this guy from. I'm not calling none of the other, um, Terry's legacy Bismurch his name. But are any of these conversations worth having? Or do we have to sit by and wait till possibly an indictment hits? Or are you just scared of the conversation at all? Not saying nothing is there, but again, when I see people unwilling to speak about the conversation,
Starting point is 00:20:46 hey, was jail some creepy shit? Was he one of those guys who would try to, like, get a pretty girl that, may have a little bit of talent, kind of groom her and, you know, try to get with her while she was maybe underage and kind of like, because do y'all remember the story of Cassie? Now, granted, I believe Cassie was overage. But that story in itself is a little bit sick if you guys don't know the whole story. I was telling my friend about it today. I was giving a little soliloquy on, hey, never bring a girl around your boss consistently.
Starting point is 00:21:23 especially if your girl's bad. At a point, your girl going to start looking at how your boss moves and how you move, how you answer to him, and that might not turn out well. I used the idea or the story of
Starting point is 00:21:37 Cassie and Diddy as an example. Cassie really got brought into his industry by Ryan Leslie. Ryan Leslie saw this young girl. She was pretty. They had whatever they had. She wanted to get into the music business.
Starting point is 00:21:53 When she wanted to get in the music business, you had Jay-Z, No, Jason, sorry, for his and slip. You had Ryan Leslie bring Cassie. You could imagine he's like, yo, I know everybody. I know Puff, I know this, I know that. He brings Cassie around Puff. Cassie's probably seen a different type of lifestyle,
Starting point is 00:22:13 different type of money, a different type of opulence, a different type of success. It is ditty over the top. 15 people waiting on him. Best sweets, penthouse suites everywhere. Limousine riding. jet flying, it is opulence at the highest level. Ain't no more food and beverage.
Starting point is 00:22:33 This is exquisite shit. Over time, what happens is that Did he plot it on Cassie? He wanted her. He created scenarios and situations that supposedly him and Cassie was going to work on music. Think about it, what we know about Cassie.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Now, Cassie was a pretty girl. She looked good, but her musical of talent, she sound like a dine goat. Did he wanted her? Did he created the idea in her mind of this young woman chasing a dream, Hey, I think you're musically talented all while he wanted to pursue her to get him in his harem. He was dating at that time, uh, Kim Porter.
Starting point is 00:23:18 He creates a situation. We got to go to Miami to go do some shit in music. It's just me and you, though. This is business. Your boyfriend can't come. Leave him at home. They go to Miami, Diddy tries her, Diddy kisses her. She says she didn't know how to feel about it because she had a man.
Starting point is 00:23:39 She's actively cheating. Did he whines and dines her, takes her here, takes her there, gifts her everything that the lifestyle she was chasing would present. Gives her everything. Over time, the story comes to pass. Ryan Leslie's cut out the picture. She's now Diddy's girl. There's conversations to be had about that. You know, I always shout out Nicky Minaj.
Starting point is 00:24:16 I always said that, you know, I believe Nikki's a complete raging bitch. I've heard that about her personality based on how she's came off to me. She is that. But I've also heard she developed this tough exterior because niggis used to try her. Yo, Nikki was a little bad thing. All these popular rappers who were on a pedestal at that point, they're all trying to fuck. Oh, yeah, yeah, I'll rap with you. Yeah, let's get in the studio session.
Starting point is 00:24:40 Oh, yeah. late night Yo get the runner to go get all the liquor We're gonna get drunk Fuck a song This happens all the time The guy who wants to fuck the girl Basically acts like he's into her career
Starting point is 00:24:53 After he's donkey fucking her off the fucking You know the mixer table Who cares about the song That's his girl now That's his bitch That's one of them I heard Nikki had to turn down those advances many times She had to be a bitch
Starting point is 00:25:06 Hey stop it Are we recorded or what Enough? Enough no no no No more shots. Let's go. Let's fucking go. Let's get this shit done. Came in a different attitude. Fortunately, her skill was enough to keep bringing her back in those rooms because you know how it goes. You try a chick once or twice. She ain't going. Fuck her, man. On to the next. But Nikki's skill kept her in the game.
Starting point is 00:25:29 But she had to have that hard exterior. And good thing she from Queens, because, you know, Queens women usually exude a little bit masculine energy. She was a little bit of a raging bitch. That continued with how she dealt with people in the industry. So with that understanding, I understand why she might, you know, not all the time she comes off as very just like docile. But that's the conversation that really needs to be had, right? Like it gives you the context of why Nikki's, Nikki. And, you know, it should be asked and even understood.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Like, think about other situations, even outside Cassie and did he. Was that something that was standard? If we think about L.A. reading some of the accusations that we heard later about him, that was exactly what they were saying. What is tantamount to Harvey Weinstein in the movie industry where he would look at young actresses who are beautiful. Maybe the talent wasn't always there, and some of them it was. He would use his power and the fact that he could make or break their career
Starting point is 00:26:26 to get them in compromising positions. Hey, let's go work on a script in my penthouse. 11.30, they walk in jazz music is on. Hey, the script is on the table, but let's get a couple glasses of wine. Let me hear about you and your life. two hours later is getting a little egg plant sucked on. That's a conversation we should talk about. No, people don't think that that type of, you know,
Starting point is 00:26:50 they talk about we're in this woke era where people talk about rape culture or, you know, all this whatever culture, you know, toxic culture. And we talk about the behavior that people might exude that kind of contributes to that. Right? How come it's cool to talk about it when they get caught, but maybe not before. When Bill Cosby gets caught for, you know, supposedly hitting them chicks,
Starting point is 00:27:25 you know, he was Steph Curry with the Kualudes, the Spanish fly. Everybody acted like, oh shit, he was doing that. Then you hear, and I've heard, Bill Cosby wasn't the only one. He's just the one who died for everybody else's sentence. All of them niggas was hitting them chicks with the Spanish fly and the quailudes.
Starting point is 00:27:44 They were basically using their power. and influence and also like drug and chicks. That was a culture. But we don't hear much conversations about it. Let's get back to music. Let's get back to the Jay-Z conversation. The conversation I want to have is, well, we see what happened with L.A. Reed. Well, we see what happened or what's accused of, but with Bill's, not Bill Simmons,
Starting point is 00:28:09 Russell Simmons, we see what is accused, right, of with the R. Kellys. we see what's accused of with Diddy I think we've heard Jay-Z's name a little bit too much for us not to talk about Hey listen are any of these things true Are any of these things Just completely made up by a random caller That happens to fall on the Epstein file
Starting point is 00:28:36 Are these things just completely Out of the scope that we should just say Ah this is illogical This is just somewhat This is the matrix targeted him or perhaps should we say let's go back and evaluate what this guy did.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Now, I understand there's a lot of people that's running what I call interference and I love watching media run interference for powerful men because I always think, damn, what business deal they got coming up? You know, love Charlemagne,
Starting point is 00:29:07 idol of mine. Let me remove the word idle because it feels like an idolized. Like, you know, well, idle, it is, right? Like, you know, I look up to Charlaman I've always done that. But I don't expect Charlemagne to have a neutral or even have a qualitative conversation about Jay-Z's past and Jay-Z's history and the music industry. Why?
Starting point is 00:29:29 Charlemagne was also pretty much caught in hand in a cookie jar in the casino saga where Jay-Z was trying to get a bid. Charlemagne showed up and gave riveting speeches about how the council member should vote to approve this because Jay-Z's vision is great and this and third. So there's some synergy in alignment there between not necessarily Rock Nation and Charlemagne, but the entities that are trying to push and put Jay Z in a certain place and Charlemagne. Is that paid? I don't know. Maybe they're just good friends. Even though back in the day, there was a conversation that Jay Z may have gotten Charlemagne fired from Philly Radio after some criticisms.
Starting point is 00:30:12 I don't know what's going on, though. I just want to have conversations. The conversation just seemed to, nah, I just want to have conversations. So I'm asking really my peers I'm like hey listen I wasn't really around Because I'd say what I've heard And I have heard
Starting point is 00:30:33 Whatever whatever whatever But you guys lived it You guys had in You know it's like Wendy Williams When Wendy Williams came out Way back and said Let me just tell you the truth There's a few gay motherfuckers in here
Starting point is 00:30:43 We call him homo thugs Okay She said Diddy was gay And everybody felt like she was a liar But you know why And this is where I bring Charlott Back into this And again this is not a call
Starting point is 00:30:56 of Charlotteman Charman. What Charleston has always told me one of the most valuable advice he told me, which was told to him by Wendy, and this is why I say Wendy is the queen. You're either going to be loyal to the industry or the people. You can't be loyal to both. And if you're loyal to the people, you're going to have to have uncomfortable conversations that maybe the industry won't like you to have and might make you an enemy. for Wendy Williams to repeat And again, she was hearing much more than you think Hey, listen, Diddy's on some gay shit? It was So taboo at the time She supposedly ended up losing her job.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Years come to past after we get the details through a racketeering indictment through the Department of Justice, we get to find out Did he was rubbing male semen on his nipples. He was playing in it. He was writing it. He was using like it was Play-Doh. He would be whacking off to other men, even though they were supposedly, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:04 having sex with his girl at the time. At times he requested two men. He's never requested a female escort. Always men. He would instruct his girl find the guy with the biggest penis for me to watch. Now, I don't know. You know, these days we live in a very sexual fluid world. Some people say, nah, that's just cuckism.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Cuckism. Yeah, that's cuckism. Hey, call me old school. I was born in Spanetown, Jamaica. That's gay. Wendy was right. She was brave enough to say the thing about the culture that nobody wanted to talk about because it was underground. Way back then, she looked crazy until later on, we're like, she was right.
Starting point is 00:32:52 In fear of what the industry was doing to silence her, she realized, I can't really tell you what's really popping. she had credible information on another person. This was a time where being gay and there's not really wrong with being gay, but these guys were living double lives. These guys were lying and fooling the public. Not that people should be invasive to be like pull somebody at the closet necessarily,
Starting point is 00:33:13 but, you know, she felt like these guys were in a culture that was all about keeping it real. These guys weren't keeping it real. Wendy Williams wasn't homophobic. Wendy Williams was someone who actually had a huge gay audience. She used to say this thing, how you doing? We like this little weird ham thing,
Starting point is 00:33:30 which was clearly to, Pander to the gay people. So she loved gay people. But she liked to call out the guys who were acting super macho. Hip hop at the time was way more homophobic. And she would say, hey, you guys are pretending. Some of you guys are gay. There was an episode that came out that she said,
Starting point is 00:33:47 listen, there's a couple gay guys here. And she said there's even one that's in New York. He's linked to hip-hop history. I can't say his name because I think they're going to sue me or they're going to try to take me off the air because every time I tell you all the truth and the industry don't want the truth or have those conversations
Starting point is 00:34:07 because they're uncomfortable and at the time is taboo they're going to try to do something to me so I'm just going to mutter it I'm going to hum it the gay guy who's acting like he's super thug is
Starting point is 00:34:21 mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm everybody listen to that they try to match it to every name in the industry come to find out years and years and years later, there was always rumblings and people knew who she was talking about, but it was a man known as DJ Mr. C. Now, that person was not only a DJ within the radio sphere of New York City at the time was pretty
Starting point is 00:34:46 much the center of hip hop, but he's Biggs DJ, Biggie, Notorious B-I-G, Frank White, for that guy to be gay, it's like, what? It's not wrong with him being gay. but everybody looked at Wendy to say Why are you talking about that shit? Why? Why are you talking about that shit? Years later, DJ Mr. C
Starting point is 00:35:15 gets arrested by the NYPD for soliciting, as Charlemagne always quoted, street meet. He would meet up with trans genders in his car and have a bearded saucy Santana type motherfucker suck him off on the side of the side of the thing. the road. Public lewdness and other things
Starting point is 00:35:39 would ensue. Now, a lot of people pointed out as the world was changing, hip-hop is such an intolerable place at the time. This guy who's been living a line, if he wants to go by some transgender man bussey, why can't he do it in the comfort of a hotel? Well, maybe someone who works at a hotel might see him walk in with this
Starting point is 00:35:59 transgender and be like, oh, you're homosexual. Why can't he do this in the comfort of his home. Well, he probably has a wife and he's been living a lie. Why can't he do it somewhere else? Well, he has to stay hidden and that's why he got arrested. But what does that prove to y'all? Wendy Williams was right. Wendy Williams was trying to have the conversations about a culture going on that nobody wanted to accept or even discuss and she was 100% right. I'm going to keep bringing it back to Jay Z. I don't know if Jay Z did nothing.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Jay Z might really just be a guy who people want to see him go down. I don't know, but I wasn't around. So all these people, when I keep calling out my peers, I want to hear y'all talk about it. What do you think about his dating practices, how he got close to artists who kind of needed him more in the music a pass? And we heard that he's pursuing him romantically at the cusp of 18. Was that the standard?
Starting point is 00:37:04 because what people don't want to admit is that they're, you know, all these people, they'll be super judgmental on the current folks, the current youth. But nobody finds it odd that Russell Wilson or not, sorry, another foraging slip, not fraudulent actually, but that Russell Simmons was in his mid-30s and he was pursuing 16 and 17-year-olds. That's not the conversation. Was he just an oddball? He just gets to chill in Bali?
Starting point is 00:37:32 Was he an oddball or was that? the culture. It's not odd that supposedly Beyonce was 16 or 17 when she allegedly met Jay. Supposedly in a musical capacity. A couple years later, they're allegedly already in a
Starting point is 00:37:52 full-blown relationship. Jay-Z's already establishing already over the age of at least 25. That's not odd. No one wants to talk about that? There's no conversations if you had about that one, right? I'm talking to you about a culture and everybody else who I'm asking to speak about that
Starting point is 00:38:10 because maybe they were around at the time and just like how Wendy was like this is what's really going. I'm not saying to be Wendy because I know every time you ask these guys, by the way, I keep saying what Joe and Jada does, what the Bodega boys over there
Starting point is 00:38:23 that podcast does, what Charlemagne does, what I do, what Joe does, we're all gossiping. We're all doing what Wendy Williams did. We're just men. And we try to do it a little bit different.
Starting point is 00:38:35 And some people try to do more gangs than others. but we're all doing the same thing. But I'm asking, could we have those conversations? What I believe is being suppressed is that there is a era of hip-hop where there was a lot of purvy, sexual deviant,
Starting point is 00:38:52 not only behavior, but relationship that seemingly were predatory and also borderlines on extreme grooming. That is often ignored because most of these people involved in this act, they are either now moguls, they've been removed from this industry, and even reshaping or framing a narrative around some of their behavior at this point would ruin an error. None of these guys want to come out and say, yeah, there was a lot of creeps that were the executives.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Straight up. Now, you know, I'm one that's definitely going to say, don't believe every allegation. but I do think if we have 15 allegations, 30 allegations about people during a specific era, maybe we should start having a conversation about the culture that existed then. How did no one then say anything? How does that come out in 2015? How does all the dirt from the 90s come out in 2015? Maybe the people that were in or around in the 90s in early 2000.
Starting point is 00:40:13 thousands in this industry either were complicit or they turned a blind eye, either or still disgusted. That's only the conversation I'm begging to be had, but it won't be had. Now, when, you know, when Kendrick Lamar says something, right, Kenrick Lamar says, your academics is compromised. We all kind of understand what he's trying to say and he means. He's like, yo, that's Drake's homie. You know, like, we're not going to get a fair shake over here, but whatever.
Starting point is 00:40:43 It's act, you know, fuck with him. At least that's how I took the bar. It was just like, you know, that's usually a really guy who would be in the middle, but I can see he's going to be on Drake's side. He's compromised. Well, if that was, you know, allowed and excused, are y'all not compromised for Jay-Z? Or y'all not compromise for Rock Nation?
Starting point is 00:41:08 If y'all can't have these conversations that I'm even begging y'all to have because I don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't even actually have to talk about it. Because I talk about shit that niggies won't talk about it. But I wasn't there. So I'm the person who now every single time an accusation comes out, I'm fielded. I'm like, is this all right? Why the hell is his name in the Epstein Files?
Starting point is 00:41:29 Now everybody runs like interference. There ain't no interferences. They try to get ahead of the story. Hey, y'all are stupid to even believe this. Y'all are fucking stupid. Get some brains. Low intellect. Y'all believe anything.
Starting point is 00:41:43 It's an unsubstantiated rumor. Well, isn't it kind of like how that starts? Jimmy Hensman back in like 2001. When the FBI went to him, we could look it up. The FBI in a Q&A or interrogation with Jimmy Hemsman, I believe, they asked, do you have any information about Puff Daddy fucking kids? And at that time, it probably was like, wow, what the fuck are y'all talking about? Later, we get to find out the police were always trying to figure out what the fuck did he had going on sexually.
Starting point is 00:42:26 There was something to be talked about. So, you know, not that I need an answer for any particular individual, but I'm saying, are we waiting for an indictment or are we waiting for 50's doc? Because 50 has said he's going to do a documentary on Jay-Z. At least he's down to have a conversation. Now, we all know it's going to be biased. And this is why I always look at his friends. I'm like, don't let the guy that don't like Jayzy tell the story. How about y'all tell the story?
Starting point is 00:42:57 Maybe y'all put some nuance to it. but but from what I'm hearing from all the other people in the media there is no story to tell okay that was my um opening monologue welcome i know it's late i know it's late yes um jZ supposedly has a doc on the way 50 cent says he's going to make a jZ documentary he says damn they got your man jane the epstein files i got to do a Doc on this shit. Okay? Interesting.
Starting point is 00:43:54 Interesting. Going back and just showing a little proof of what I was saying. Jimmy Henschman asked about Diddy. Boys, let me just see. It was like in 2001. Was it Jimmy Henschman? It was something on smoking gun, I believe. Let me see if I can find it.
Starting point is 00:44:19 Smoking gun. Drug Lord claimed feds quizzed him about the sex life of Sean Diddy Combs. This was published in 2013. 2013. As in an affidavit, and here's the affidavit, this is James Roseman, this is Jimmy Henschman. They said the questions in this, like, proffer session, and look, it says proffer right here. So the defendant reluctantly went to a proffer with the government. This is in 2011, right?
Starting point is 00:44:49 2011. He went to a proffer session with the government, and at the proffer session, he says, the questions were not only about maybe his criminal involvement with certain things they were having inquiries into it got into some people they think that he may have some proximity to they say questions became even more bizarre when the prosecutor asked about entertainers sexual preferences including but not only Sean Combs having relationships with underage boys interesting I'll digress for now but the conversation won't stop uh welcome how are y'all doing
Starting point is 00:45:39 I know it's late. You know when I stream late, I oftentimes look at the chat and I'm like, these are the real ones, right? We get half of our views. Right now we have like 9,000. But I'm like, these are the real ones. If you're up at 246 watching academics,
Starting point is 00:45:56 you're the guy. You're the guy. And by the way, I hate to do a selfless plug, but we got to get it, you know, we got to sell these tickets. We have our, wait, what is it? We have her show coming up. Miami, Miami.
Starting point is 00:46:14 I need everybody to take note. I need everybody here. I need everybody here. March 27th, Friday from 7-11. We'll be having our first ever live show in Florida. It will consist of music, comedy, and some special guest appearances. You guys will see what I have to offer live,
Starting point is 00:46:35 and you guys could rate me as you see. You know, I've taken, I feel like there's no one kicking it on stream like me. There's not even close. I feel like we're, you know, I keep telling you. people, I feel like this is my majority year. When it comes to content, don't do it. Like, this year, I think I got an average
Starting point is 00:46:53 45, smooth. This is why I'm, you know, challenging myself streaming in a row, consistent, but I do think I'm bad on a different average. You know, I wish I had these skills back in 2016, 2017. I felt like I would eviscerate Joe Button on that goddamn show. Because I could deal with theatrics now. He was, you know, I was always a logical person,
Starting point is 00:47:09 but the theatrics was fucking bewildering. But that's what you kind of needed to do to get some views, too. You know, you'd lean over to We would do this, he would do that, he would shout. A great way, and he's a great entertainer to him. But I really think at this point, and I'm proud to say it, I think I'm at, this is the Jordan ear for me, man. This is where, like, finally think the skills and everything else has come together. And confidently, when I look across the field, I'm like, any of these media niggas fucking with me.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Point blank, period. They could have five podcasts. They could have 15 niggas on a couch. they could have, I don't care what they got going on. It could be two legends. I don't care what they got going on. Academics on this here microphone can't be fuck with. And I ain't talking about a little baby.
Starting point is 00:47:59 So with that in mind, you know, I want to give you guys the best content, but also challenge myself, right? Once you think you have hit that peak, not necessarily the peak because I could always get better. You want to challenge yourself. And I want to do it by, all right, well, they say, Oh, you only entertaining in the basement. All right. Cool.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Put me some dates. I'm going out. You know, you notice, whatever they say, I can do. I say, all right, I'll do. Yo, you never see ACA outside. Oh, but we caught him outside lacking. Come on, which one is it? Which one is it?
Starting point is 00:48:33 Yo, we never see this guy. He stays hidden in the house. Now we did catch him lacking outside. Which one is it? Can't you can't really win. It's all good. But I am going to Lyric Theater in Miami on March 27th. Thank you guys so far for buying tickets.
Starting point is 00:48:48 VIPs are going fast. They're going fast. The VIP tickets coming to meet and greet. I'd love to chop it up with you for a couple minutes. Take a picture, you know, take a shot. Don't get me too drunk before the show. Pause. But we're going to have a good time.
Starting point is 00:49:04 Also, you know, if this goes well, I'm thinking about associated things because I'm probably going to stay in Miami for that weekend. You know, some of my close supporters, might have to get a yacht, go party together. You know, I want to kick it with y'all. Let's have a good time, right? but your tickets are on sale you guys could find it the link is in my bio
Starting point is 00:49:22 on Instagram on both of the Instagrams but yes please make sure you buy these tickets quickly I am coming to Miami other shows to be announced soon and I do hear from the underserved places saying hey Akri come in here
Starting point is 00:49:39 we're either going to make it there this year or next year don't worry I want to meet y'all okay anything else Oh, well, I guess we should probably start here. I need a bartender in here, chat. Run out of my little secret juice and I don't know what to do. Hold on up.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Loading up the chats here as well. I do have my first topic I want to get into. My very first topic. Is this going to load? Give me a second. I'm sorry for the, you know. I hate dead air. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:50:43 Okay, here we go. Here we go. Shout to everybody on King Academics. Oh, thank you for becoming a member. You guys should become members. Please. Let's keep this going. We are, we're leading in the, um, the aspect of hip-hop media and how we presented.
Starting point is 00:51:06 We do it on a live version, a live format. And, um, when you, when you guys think about development, I hope you, I hope you, I, I don't if I ever told you guys this, when I first started doing videos, you know, I was trying to figure out the voice, the cadence and everything. I did, I did some writing. I used to write. And by the way, I think I'm an amazing writer. Like, if I wrote some shit, like, that monologue just now I didn't write. But that's the show how far I've come. That's what I think I'm really that nigga now. I used to write a lot of that stuff. So, like, even I used to do, like, a five-minute video, some of that stuff was written. Like, not fully written, but I would just have, like, make sure I had
Starting point is 00:51:42 some jokes, and I would kind of like look down and kind of, like, now with the beautiful thing about live, everything is just freestyle. Now, I might be scatterbraining sometimes, but like, you know, you got to do it live. This is why also I want to go out because I'm like, you know, maybe at that time, you know, a lot of what I thought was my greatness was coming from me being prepared and writing. Now I'm riffing and I know how to like, you know, just be witty and get shit done, right? Mr. Chronicles, thing for the two, it says, body, that act. Yeah, I'm going to start doing like, you know, opening monologue. It's treated like SNO, right? He says, talk Cam Sue and Jay Cole
Starting point is 00:52:15 I will Cam addressed it to So we'll lean into that Yeah And somebody says A Solo Vision says Akry allowing media passes Me and FYBJ Maine
Starting point is 00:52:30 Yeah holler at me You know we want everybody in the building Everybody in the building Okay Okay great So I want to start off today And let me just take a shot With y'allet
Starting point is 00:52:44 Let me take the academy real quick about a shot to everybody who's on kick. And, of course, my people are on Wumble. But let's take a shot, and we're going to roll into this. I like that monologue feel just now. I liked it. Here we go. So we go here.
Starting point is 00:53:08 I'm just checking the channels for, you know, chats and whatever. Got to make sure you guys are acknowledged. Okay, so somebody says it's called Jaw Morant. Oh, man. CNG Dusky or Duskyo. Thank you for all the gifted membership. Star status, Chris. Damn, my boy, big boy.
Starting point is 00:53:26 Ten gifted memberships on the Academy. Academy's always busting, huh? Go say 87 Hill. What's up with you? And also, C&G, Dusky, thank you again. In for Maddoch. Thank you for the two. And he said, Biggie!
Starting point is 00:53:41 By the way, they try to crucify me when I try to have the conversation. Was Biggie gay? I don't know. I wasn't around for the time, but his DJ's gay. The guy who signed him and liked to play with Man's. seaman. He was rapping about sucking his daddy's dick because a girl looks so good. Maybe he was homosexual too. Don't kill me, but maybe. Let's talk about it. He seemed to be flirting with this idea of homosexuality a lot. Nobody wants to have the conversation. I get it. Some people are
Starting point is 00:54:08 protected. He's a legend. Don't talk about him like that. Okay, cool. I'm not telling, you know, I think the Jay-Z topic is so, like, fickle. People feel like I'm trying to tell them that they should be grabbing a pitchfork and say throw Jay Z in jail not just the furthest thing from that we just want to have qualitative conversation and maybe the conversation comes back with nah Jay j was a he was a real nigga he was normal like he wasn't fucking with no little girls what are you talking about let's have the conversation yesterday you know I saw the K-bots they were um they were on the timeline you ever seen this this video a really popular video how do I find it I'm just trying to find it. Hold on. Yeah, right here. Yesterday, they were trying to hit me with this, y'all.
Starting point is 00:55:31 You ever seen this video? You know they got your mans. You know they got your man's. Now, obviously the other part is not irrelevant because it wasn't nothing like that. Sex are so charges. Yeah, the nigga you be hanging with. The nigga you be hanging with. Oh, it's sex offender. And he was your man's. He was your boo. So, obviously, it's not about sex offense stuff. But, you know, yesterday was I was seeing a barrage of messages.
Starting point is 00:56:01 The K-bots were back in my mentions. I was like, what's going on? Is Kung Fu Kenny dropping again? Did they not like my, you know, dissertation about the Grammys and how the Grammys is now Kendrick Lamar Award show? They were in my mentions to say, they got your mans! They got your men's. is 21 Savage. He bought it again. He bought it again. Now, like, unlike my peers, I'm not into ducking conversations. So we talked about it. We talked about it. My idea then, and my idea now, and I get
Starting point is 00:56:39 what you're going to say. Act, you're running interference, just like how you've accused them of running interference with Jay-Z. I said, it is conspicuous if streams are removed. It is can speak it looks a little lot i don't know what to make of it but i am not defending it but i can't qualitatively say what it is right is it botan is it a recorrection of the algorithm that may be overcounted is it that they they they they do all this to say well you know supposedly a stream you have to listen consecutively for at least 31 seconds you have to come from whatever maybe people are using VPNs, maybe then, who knows? And the amount of streams, they'll, they'll, there's a whole bunch of, like, rules that's
Starting point is 00:57:24 per, whatever, maybe they're audits, we don't know. So we see streams get removed. Now, I'm not defending the idea of someone botten if it's my homies. I'm not that guy. Even though I have said on the record, not defending it, but on the record, I do understand. I believe to compete, botan is required. Because everybody else is bought. We're in the steroid error.
Starting point is 00:57:56 So while I might not defend it, if someone did bot, I do understand. Industry plants are botting. The guy who supposedly just gave Drake the beats in a rat battle is botting. Everybody bought. If you're a young artist, why ain't you? If you found out LeBron James was using steroids and you're now like a 30-year rookie, or not rookie, but like you're a junior now in the goddamn NBA. he's all roids this we got prescription p what what the hell is what the hell is paul george on
Starting point is 00:58:30 if they're all juicing and i'm not saying i know this as a matter of fact i'm just saying i'm creating a hypothetical situation what you think you're going to do out there oh i'm just natural shut up take the morals somewhere else i've told you i said the last night i say yo if botting is the way of the land drake's stupid to not buy lock it now i've said way before we knew a little bit more intimate details about Bond. I said, based on what I know, there's an average inflation of 20% across all artists that labels are probably going to employ while rolling out a record. And through their marketing schemes, and that's not necessarily buying, but it's just overinflation based on certain things. It could be paid playlist. That's not
Starting point is 00:59:20 bought, but it's going to get like almost artificial listens just because it's on a paid playlist. that's huge. So it's going to inflate. So I think there's a 20% fluff. So the idea at first when we were looking at numbers was how do we find out the real? Now later on I kind of like admitted, I said, it's too hard to tell at this point. You got to see, do these motherfuckers bring people out? And even then, that's a different step because there's people that have a lot of, like think about the SoundCloud error.
Starting point is 00:59:50 6'9 at 2 million people on live. You think 6'9 can fill a arena? I don't think so. Smart guys. I don't think so. I don't think he could have done that. Maybe he could have. But could he go in a laboratory like what you're seeing now.
Starting point is 01:00:01 No. Well, pump at all these type of, you know, crazy like analytics on his Instagram, but what did that equate to? Like, was it massive streams? Not necessarily. So it's kind of hard to really quantify what is real numbers. Right? What is real numbers? Because the metric, you know, some people would say, well,
Starting point is 01:00:26 Your tours need to match your sales. Well, some people don't really go on big tours, right? It's really hard. It's like this really complex thing of you trying to figure out is the consumption of the material, is the numbers we're seeing, how overinflated is it, is it completely fake,
Starting point is 01:00:48 and in the case of some artists, the ones that we call industry plants, are the numbers only there to convince us there's something that is not there, which is some steam and some more. motion. We're in the steroid area. It's getting really complicated. I'm one of the people they blame, even though, to be honest, if we really want to go back all the way to the origin, got to blame 50 cent. 50 cent brought Nielsen sound scan, brought the document on Hot 97 and read out
Starting point is 01:01:14 all the sales of his ops. You know, these guys are flopping. They are nothing to me. I am the biggest artist in the world. That's what 50 did. It gave fans a new type of understanding of what the industry was. It wasn't about the feel of the music. It wasn't about what you perceive this success in terms of, hey, I'm in the nightclub. I'm here in this jar. record, everybody's going up like, uh, where would I be me? It was about Jaru sold 70,000.
Starting point is 01:01:38 I sold a million. We now put in perspective. Jaru's nowhere near 50 cent. Obviously that, you know, I'm a math guy. Everybody knows I graduated with a biomathematics degree out of Rutgers University. I also graduated with a sociology major as well, but who cares about that?
Starting point is 01:01:55 I use that to keep my grades up for the other thing. Really expensive degree. Never really used it a day in my life. but I try to employ it in research, and I employ it in, you know, analyzing analytics to not only help me and my media brand, but also kind of break down the game. So we're here trying to figure out what's real, what's fake, what's what.
Starting point is 01:02:22 We're at an interesting point. We're seeing behavior that is, it's cow whistling, that there's something that is not normal or something possibly, you know, malicious going on, but we're not getting confirmation. You know, streaming is a thing,
Starting point is 01:02:52 and I keep, shit, my advice to a younger streamer, you want to get into this live streaming thing, bought too, you got a bot. Let me tell you this. Without calling names to some of these bigger streamers, they're buying their ass off.
Starting point is 01:03:03 They're buying their ass off. And half of them, they don't need to. But you know why they do? Because I got a business guy with them that wants to go to a brand and says, No, this guy doesn't get like 8,000 people watching him live, which is a lot. This guy actually gets 25. Triple a bag.
Starting point is 01:03:21 Works. What makes dollars always makes sense. So the idea of Biden actually comes back a lot because it controls perception and sometimes it controls deals. At a point it gets to be, what do you think you're Gandhi or Jesus? You got to join in, right? Back to the music. We're at a place, and this might be an open callout that I'm trying to put out there for the people who we rely on for these information, right? So, you know, it got to a point after 50 did that based on my background, and I realized that I could utilize and, you know, do certain things to kind of figure out the numbers.
Starting point is 01:04:03 I use that as one of the things people were intrigued with me about. I'm going to give you some numbers, right? I'm a numbers guy. But people blame me, by and large. I've had artists blame me to say, hey, listen, the reason. I don't drop, you're going to tweet out my first week sales. I won't mention, there's been at least three artists I've had that with. I've told you many times.
Starting point is 01:04:25 It still happens where labels in anticipation of a flop will reach out to me. They might offer me not to post it. They might, you know, try to explain it or they might try to, you know, feed a narrative that it might not look that bad. Because when it does drop on your timeline that this super poppin artist sold this and it looks like it's a complete flop, it is abysmal. about even me telling you the little baby story they were doing everything
Starting point is 01:04:50 they were doing including possibly him trying to get cool with me because that first week sales if it was low could mean the perception of him is that he completely fell the fuck off you even have a little baby responding to
Starting point is 01:05:09 a young boy fan page recently when he dropped what's called the leaks now if you guys don't know the leaks dropped and it was projected to move only 14 or 15,000 in the first week. Little baby ran to the comments section and this was tweeted out by a 4K tray fan page. It says, damn, YB Leaks project outsold.
Starting point is 01:05:38 And it's a shocking. Baby ran to the comments and says that was one day, not the first week, crazy. So numbers do control a lot. And these artists, they're fragile. Not only because of their own ego, but because of the perception of them. completely get it. So what is it turned into? The analyizations and the numbers aspect,
Starting point is 01:06:03 that's why we launched Chart Demics, because me as a full-time media personality, I don't want to do ESPN of numbers of musicians, but we should have a realm of what we do in our media company that covers it. So if you guys haven't ever followed, you guys should follow ChartDemics on Twitter and on Instagram, okay?
Starting point is 01:06:22 If you go here, you'll get, you know, the latest on whatever shit 11 minutes ago Yeat come and go is now certified officially go if you want to figure this out I used to tweet all this out myself but I realize you know there's much more important things I can't send out 5,000 tweets every day
Starting point is 01:06:38 Don Tolliver Octane it's on pace to sell 120K first week Chart Demics you guys should follow us a very valuable resource Not really a plug but I really I really mentioned that
Starting point is 01:06:56 to say the idea of numbers has changed the music. Now, Chart Demics, you might know of another page, which is called Chart Data. That page, you know, it does really qualitative, but like it does overall not only hip-hop, you know, pop everything. You'll see them talk about Beyonce, Ariana Grande. They give really good stats about what's going to happen, okay? There's an updated preview, by the way. They say Don Tolliver might do 135. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:27 all right don here we go though right so let me try to speed this up a little bit people are fan pages are invested in these numbers you'll see a bunch of uh what is this i don't know ariana olivia rodrigo um Sabrina carpenter Travis scott fans bad bunny fans that are all under these posts like really like yes our favorite artists are doing great numbers like this is a post about bad money earning 74.7 million streams on a day following the Grammys and you'll see a bunch of his fans there. You know, people, people are commenting. So fans do care.
Starting point is 01:08:11 And I guess a lot of the industry, at least rap industry, they blame me for over promoting and making that a thing. But, you know, it is what it is. I felt like we're always going to get there. We're in the age of information. Now, I say that to say, I'm also here to acknowledge we're in a confusing time. I wasn't ducking this conversation about 21 Savage yesterday, but I don't. know what it means. Now, the call out here is to Spotify. If that a contract to Spotify,
Starting point is 01:08:37 I love Spotify. I believe they to love me. And trust me, when I got there, it was a really interesting thing because their comms team and their music team was always saying, hey, we have academics here for podcasting. But his job is to kind of call out some of the things that maybe we're doing. How can we make sure he's not getting a paycheck from us and calling us? out. And trust me, there was conversations that occurred. But my job is always to, you know, represent the fans. So when y'all mentioned 21 Savage, and we could bring it back up,
Starting point is 01:09:12 21 Savage, I looked at it and I said, what does this mean? There was 25 million lifetime streams removed from the album. What does it mean? The K-bots were quick to say, act they got your mans they got your mans hey you know they got your mans people said hey call a spade a spade you've been saying bot like us the k bots we called your man bodd now as i said i think everybody should be bodd but i'm not going to defend bottom because i do think it's unethical but if everybody
Starting point is 01:09:55 cheating you got cheat too with that being in mind is this botten is this a correction because of fake and inflated streams. I'm looking to Spotify to give us clarity. Spotify has conveniently, every month, removed streams from artist profiles or from their platform total count that you could find via APIs and such forth, and they haven't given a,
Starting point is 01:10:33 you know, they'll say they're a monitor in certain stuff, but they won't tell us when an artist fuck up. Why? Probably because the label says, if you call out our artist is going to do way more harm than good. So they just remove streams and it's quiet. But with that, there is no punitive effect. We don't know who's doing what wrong and we don't know if they're getting punished. And because there's no call out, there is no embarrassment factor.
Starting point is 01:10:59 So it's left to like people who are evaluating these streams to figure out who is doing what. So when this comes up, people run to me to say, act. Is 21 Savage Bodden? is he buying? I don't know. I don't think so. But I don't know. Here's why I say I don't know.
Starting point is 01:11:23 Is it weird? Kind of is weird. But I'm the person that always remember this about me. You tell me the rules and I apply to everybody. Right? Now, I will say, Savage didn't reach out to me. I didn't get a chance to get on the phone with him today. I was really, today was abysmal.
Starting point is 01:11:39 Today was abysmal. I can't lie to you. Savage, but he did message me. He was like, you know, And really, I think it's in regards to this. Yo, he says, yo, the shit is cap. He said, bro, why the fuck would I bought $25 million? L-O-L-L.
Starting point is 01:12:04 He says, I would just buy $100 million if I was going to do that shit. If you got the plug, why only do $25? Let's do 100. Now, we could do it on the side here. I got my little handy-dandy calculator. You guys can't see it. 25 million streams. Let's go to current.
Starting point is 01:12:24 formula what is it uh i look at it how many streams currently is one album sale they just updated that by the way uh currently is it 1500 is that the new formula because they had just like announced it i guess it's 1500 right okay cool 1500 okay yeah they announced it so 1500 that's that's r i double a billboard changes rules hold on billboard billboard to change the rules okay that's of early 2026 so this is a new rule okay so a thousand paid 25 ad supported so let's go with 1200 because you're going to have to combine both of them there's way more paid on the platform than then then ad supported from what i've heard so let's just kind of go with the um you know 1200 thing so if 25 million and we're going to imagine say 25 million we're all in the united states right all in the
Starting point is 01:13:17 united states right all in the united states so if if 20 because if it's not in the united states we're not counting for billboard i keep saying that if you stream from sherlocka nobody gives a fuck go look at the Sri Lanka charts Billboard charts are US charts okay now there's Billboard UK but nobody looks at those except you know the blokes anyway notice it back
Starting point is 01:13:34 alright so 25 million divided by 1200 and that's about 20,000 sales if all of these were in the United States now usually I you know there's like a mix some overseas you've heard of the overseas bot farms but they might be on
Starting point is 01:13:52 VPNs who knows let's just just just say so 20,000 sales so it's it's roughly based on the math i just did 20 21 000 sales right which would be ironic right 21 savage bought in 21 000 sales that'd be a liar's right anyway let's continue on the train of thought right the train of thought we got to continue with and by the way you know let me just uh put this up there that you guys can see that i'm not making shit up okay display capture this is my handy dandy um yeah i did the math there 20 000 My metric I use was 25 million divided by 1,200.
Starting point is 01:14:32 Okay, cool. Now, we're still trying to figure out, so what the fuck does this mean? I don't get it. What does it mean? Right? Is this something going on? Is it the streaming company?
Starting point is 01:14:52 Also, here's the thing, too, and this is why I brought up streaming before. I know I'm being a little bit long-winded here, but forgive me. This is why I brought up, like, regular streaming in terms of like Kaisenad or whatever, not accusing him off doing anything, but like as a streamer, like say me right now, if a viewer you wanted to bot me,
Starting point is 01:15:14 you could just go pay for some, like you could pay for a thousand viewers and it'll jump to my view count. Remember when I was trying to chase, like the a million subs on King Academics? People, probably a supporter, bought it me to a million that we could have a moment. And then I realized I was like,
Starting point is 01:15:28 that jumped up too quick, that's not real. So the question here is, not all the time if someone's bought in at least in regular streaming does that necessarily come from the artist even though you would think it would come from maybe their label could anybody bought for somebody if if i love drake right and say i got i don't know 300 000 to waste and i want drake to beat somebody could i just bought his music or does his label have to do it how does botten work like we're still kind of like iffy on that how do you buy you bought because in regular streaming if you like plac boy max you could bought his stuff without him
Starting point is 01:16:09 knowing could you do that for music is it something where if let's say 21 Savage's music did get bought it that he should know now this is only going to come with me thinking about penalties if you bought it you should get a penalty flag on the play technical foul time out you know so if an artist has been proven that it got boughted is it there? them? Is it someone else? Is there a label? We're unclear. Spotify refused to say anything. The labels have no incentive to say nothing. Billboard, because they have their own internal auditing system, they don't either, they don't say nothing either. And it becomes this really confusing thing. By the way, and I could probably find the article historically when there has been close battles.
Starting point is 01:17:08 I've only seen one time when someone threatened to take Billboard to court and Billboard retroactively went back and changed the rankings of a previous chart. Now, the reason they don't like doing that, Billboard is a magazine, like how complex was a magazine. When they print something, they usually send it out. They don't want to make changes. So even if, and I guess, political. Labels get on through email
Starting point is 01:17:42 and lawyers hit them up because these charts matter. It affects the entire industry. They'll be like, you got that wrong. You counted some fake shit. Hey, you counted these guys using credit cards, but they broke this rule. We have proof. And sometimes Billboard will acknowledge it, but not change it. One time I think I see
Starting point is 01:17:59 them change. And by the way, Otter Love Club, I think for the 10, I know you said, did you see that they caught Dochi bot in her last single? 350k case streams was removed. And that's precisely my point. Tell me the rules and I'll go with it. I'm not playing favorites, but tell me the rules, I'll go with it. Spotify won't talk to us about it. The labels won't talk to us about it. The artists are always
Starting point is 01:18:29 going to deny it, but how do we, in a non-biased way, call a spade a spade? Now, the K-bots, who avidly ran to me, they said, this is the proof. This, it could mean nothing else. Well, if we are going to say Savage Botted Let's go to our favorite industry plan News came down yesterday Girl Get Up by Deutsche Feature in Siza received
Starting point is 01:19:11 negative streams which means it's a correction to the total stream count negative streams on Spotify on the first Now why does it matter on the first y'all because supposedly Spotify every month
Starting point is 01:19:27 does a correction and an audit and they remove streams supposedly that were fake but we're not getting confirmation. So we're left to think this is 21 Savage and Doichi Baden
Starting point is 01:19:49 or none of them botten? Do we just not know? We got to call a spade a spade was good for the goose is good for the gander. Now, I know what's somebody I was saying. Yo, Ak, you're only really ready to
Starting point is 01:20:12 to tackle this shit because you're really you're only really ready to tackle this shit because you got you've seen some random page post this up about Deutsche and you're trying to save your man's 21 Savage well I wasn't trying to save 21 Savage because again I analyze numbers as well for a living just to be clear when I seen this come out I know how media works and I know how numbers work. I'm one of the rare few. This coming out and being plastered among the pages I've seen it on, not saying it's lies, but it's a campaign.
Starting point is 01:21:00 That means someone paid for this to go out. Because, by the way, the Deutsche thing, this is the only page. Look, let's go forward. Only, well, two pages. We don't even know what, I've never seen these pages the day of my life. Okay, now I see some people posting it, but like, It's not there. It's not as spread out or it's not as posted everywhere like the Savage thing.
Starting point is 01:21:25 This is a goddamn campaign to let people know this is fake. There's money behind that. Trust me, there's money behind that. Now, I'll get into the minutia's of who's running a campaign against Savage, but whatever. I could do that later. But for the people who would say, act, well, you know what? You're trying to save your man's. I want to show you.
Starting point is 01:21:56 I'll show you the proof. I'll show you the proof. So I'm asking the K-bots, I will acknowledge both of them are bot. But I know it ain't one of them, if we're considering that's bots. We don't know what it is. Now, never show you guys this,
Starting point is 01:22:17 but out of the many, you know, places and things that I use to monitor stuff, and kind of get my extrapolations. And I do some slight calculations to get, you know, first weeks if his daily double doesn't do the job for me. This here is a proprietary company that does data analysis for music. This is my official account. You can see DJ academics right here. You see it up on the upper right.
Starting point is 01:22:51 This is my official account. Okay. And on here, I could look up any artists in the world, right? So I go up here and I see a screenshot. Let's type in Deutsche. Well, I'll just type it in. Fuck it. Now, sometimes there's like multiple artists.
Starting point is 01:23:11 Let me just type it, don't you? Let's figure out what they find. It should be the artist that's popular. Why is it rank so low on here? Let's see. Am I spelled her name right? No, so this is a shell account that somebody probably try to create. It pops up on social media.
Starting point is 01:23:28 Oh, it's Deutsche right here. Rank 294. And why am I doing this? I want to confirm in case people say, Act, you're only trying to make up some fake news on Deutsche because you're mad that your man's got caught. We're going to find out now. Doichi, she's a number 294th artist in the U.S.
Starting point is 01:23:51 She has a one sheet. I can find her book and information, whatever. Okay, let's keep going down. All right, all the type of shit, all type of shit. what we're interested in is this song that she just dropped right it's with sissom so we go to tracts and albums let's go to here and here's the song um girl get up the release day was december 29th right and um fuck it you know there's two versions one is explicit that's why has this logo and one is not explicit that's why it doesn't have this logo it means it's clean
Starting point is 01:24:19 most people usually listen to the explicit version that probably has the most amount of streams even though billboard has a way to combine them when they do their charge they don't treat them separate songs. Okay. When I click on it, okay, can I click on it? Come on now. Okay, wait.
Starting point is 01:24:39 Click, motherfucker. I think it's loaded. Is it? No? Give me one second. All right, cool. So now I'm here on the song. Here's the songwriters.
Starting point is 01:24:55 Damn, as 10 niggas I wrote this motherfucking song. What the hell? Chad, Hugo, okay, ain't a nigga used to be with, um, for a real. He's suing him too. Terrence Thornton, Brian, Christopher, Williams.
Starting point is 01:25:07 Who's that? All right. Anyway, record labels top dog capital. Three minutes long has the IRC code. And yeah. Now, it gives me all the type of analytics about this song. Tells me what playlists are currently, you know, it's added to the top five playlist is getting streams from
Starting point is 01:25:31 and the position ranges from it so I could literally look through to see what the fuck. Look, of course, the needle drop. the needle drop playlist. You know, he's like a gay albino bitch anyway. Of course, he got it up on there, right? Who knows? He probably got some bread from the labels for it. Who cares?
Starting point is 01:25:52 But when you get to here, for me, I go to the stacks. So I click the left side, go to the stacks. It's important to figure out how these songs are doing, right? And I can do this every day. I can do this on any song. I can do this on any artist. All right, what's now important is I'm trying to verify, did Deutsche lose streams for a day?
Starting point is 01:26:12 Because a screenshot, a screenshot anybody could believe, right? Oh, it's a screenshot. So I'll go here. It says, hold on. This happened on February 1st. So we're going to sort the daily streams. Actually, we can see it here. It already pops up.
Starting point is 01:26:28 You can tell. Look. Chat, look at it. This is every day, every day. $14 million for the 18th, 15th for the 19th. 16 million for the 20th. Let's keep going, keep going, keep going. We're at 1.30, which is January 30, 21 million.
Starting point is 01:26:47 I'm the 31st, 22 million. 22 million again for the 1st of February. And when they do the updated numbers for the second, remember she's going upwards. 20 million, the song keeps going up and up. They have a change of 300. 157,000 streams. So yes, Spotify indeed removed. It's right here.
Starting point is 01:27:14 357,000, 450 streams from Deutsche. I didn't just pull up a screenshot out my ass. I'm looking up. We could find anything. If you want me look up, not like it. We could find anything. So now I'm back to the same question. What the fuck does that mean?
Starting point is 01:27:36 What does that mean? Is Deutsche Botten? Now, I think she's an industry plan regardless. Like, you know, F, come on. Industry plan isn't necessarily mean bought it. But infamously, you know, which, you know, I'm not going to stand by necessarily those lyrics because I don't think she's a dirty D.
Starting point is 01:27:58 But, you know, Aidan Ross said, you know, she's buying her views. And I was like, I don't know if she bought her views. I just think she's an industry plan getting the industry plan package, which is fake awards. Like, you know, they give the industry plans like all these things. Like, they just give you woke, like these woke award shows. you get like high slots at festivals and you're like, who likes this motherfucker?
Starting point is 01:28:17 Like, yo, you get what I'm saying? You get to realize they don't have, there's no like, Deutsche stands. Like, I've never met one. But like, they just get all these type of things and you're like, huh? Usually it makes sense when you see it for the industry plan, it never makes sense, right?
Starting point is 01:28:29 But that doesn't mean necessarily bought. But it could include it. So we now realize that there is a correction to her streams. So every day she's gaining, right? The change is about half a million streams. Then she loses negative 357,000 streams.
Starting point is 01:28:57 Again, I'm just asking, I think Spotify should say something. I would like for Spotify to say it across the board, hey, listen, we made a correction to Dochi streams or 21 Savage or whoever else and say, hey, listen, we found some fraudulent activity or streams. We can't verify. We will not be counting them. We will not be paying out for them. or if it's pervasive and it happens consistently,
Starting point is 01:29:21 make the thing that says, hey, this artist will not be getting supported with our editorial playlist. They're on punishment for buying, if that's what it is. But we don't know. So at this point, here's what I say to you. Either you believe they both bought it
Starting point is 01:29:35 or none of them bought it. I don't know. Now will the K-bots get online and said, well, Savage and Do it's your bot? or will they just be like ah not savage definitely body but like don't you like it is what it is it is what it is let's call a spade a spade that's it i'm a logical guy i don't care either way this idea of bond we can we figure out it you know it's it's like the steroid error but it's not that like we hear young thug bragging about it you i i bought it that that fuck nigger gunter
Starting point is 01:30:08 streams it is what it is i bought themselves so you guys let me know i personally you know i'm i'm a little bit, I can't make a definitive argument about either war. So either they're both botting, they're not bought it. And I'm keeping them the same on both ways, right? Savage is my man. But like, you know, and maybe the artist themselves don't know about it. Right? I'm not saying, like, the Savage looks like he's fucking, like, computer literate, like, literate
Starting point is 01:30:40 money. Like, yo, Savage is like tapping into the Indian bot farms with the VPN and like, yo, you know what I mean? Doortchi do? You know what I mean? Doortchie look like her internet literacy is just TikTok. and woke shit, right? So maybe it's the labels.
Starting point is 01:30:55 Maybe it's TDE, right? Maybe TDE got the bot farm, right? Maybe it's TDE, right? Punch, you're on Twitter all the time? You help. Maybe Spotify tells you, and probably should, because Spotify probably has to let the label know we're removing streams and got to tell them why.
Starting point is 01:31:13 So they had to tell, I believe, is it inner scope? I don't know. Wait, hold on. It's going to say what's label she's on. Spotify is going to have to say it. so punch you come help us out maybe they've given you some course share the email my nigger what they say why are they giving her negative streams is it botan is it an error on their side but something doesn't sound good it doesn't smell good from either or right and and i'll kind of
Starting point is 01:31:43 i'll leave it there yeah she's on capital oh okay so it's t d capital it's not erosco for this okay all right oh now i see i see the new grift Yo, Ack. Nah, Savage had 20 million removed. Deutsche only had 350K. All right, well, you have a 25-song album versus one song. Okay. Okay, whatever, man.
Starting point is 01:32:32 Like, you know, I don't know if you want to get in the weeds of it. So, you know, this is going to put the fans in a pickle who love to just be one-sided, right? Like, you know, it's like this idea with Kendrick when they're like, yo, Kendrick is like this moral. compass of a good guy, right? Where if he says Drake is this deranged sexual deviant, he's disgusting. Yes, Kendrick is said because Kendrick isn't persuaded by gambling or Kendrick isn't chasing women and he's married and Kendrick doesn't have, you know, whatever about him. Then you get to realize, well, he brings out Dr. Dre to do the, I hear dead people, whatever, see dead people, which he has a bunch of assault charges.
Starting point is 01:33:15 So when he said that Drake's homies got weird cases, it was like, yes. But then when Kendrick stands right next to Dr. Dre, who intuitively, if you think about weird cases, that's some weird shit. No one wants the bad nine. When Kendrick goes to collaborate with a few people, artists that I like actually, so I want to call them out and throw them in this mix. When Kendrick's talking about Drake and abusers, he co-signs and hangs with, that's bad. But Kendrick could go do songs with abusers as well. Okay. It's the thing where, like, fans like the argument only when they could point across the hill.
Starting point is 01:33:52 They won't say, you know what, let's keep it a bean. Both Drake and Kendra got some weird ass niggas around him. They won't say that. They rather twist the conversation to make it that is only about one. TDE, their top brass, no pun intended, they're facing. civil allegations in a civil suit about sexual harassment. That's a weird case, if we're considering civil suits weird cases. What is to be said about Kendrick Lamar?
Starting point is 01:34:30 Again, fanship. All right. Let's keep it going, man. It's now coming to past that this blueface and NLE chopping is not going out. And I think I made some good advice yesterday. Or I gave good advice. You blue face, brother Blue face.
Starting point is 01:34:59 Respectfully, you know, and I think I spoke pretty decent of you yesterday. You know, obviously we're not like Best buds and none, but I do see this idea. And I think I should address that too. I'm going to address it in a second. Actually, we should start there.
Starting point is 01:35:13 Right. Because I do want to address like this Wack 100 thing. You know, me and Wack did talk. We saw each other to fight. And actually, maybe I called him, but not right now because I'm on like a little roll. derail it. I know sometimes I feel he derails the stream. I love whack though. Still. However,
Starting point is 01:35:36 I want to be very clear. Oh, the first before I say that, Blueface, you got to stop being a bully brother. You get what I'm saying? You know, um, Blueface, you're 6-5, like 270. You need to go fight Deonté Wilder. Okay? This idea that you're catching face, hey, homies. That's cool, brother. I was watching Enali Chappler to say, Enelie, if you're an idiot, you'll entertain that. There's nothing wrong with duck in a fight. Like, if I was that retarded, a little baby,
Starting point is 01:36:12 I would be like, yo, bro, that nigga got a working brain and hand out coordination. I'm not fighting. I'm good. But of course, the ego of a street rapper sometimes will put yourself in precarious situations. You know what I mean? We all got to pick and choose our battles.
Starting point is 01:36:24 You know what I mean? Like, it is what it is. I don't think, soldier boys should be fighting Blueface? I don't think N. Lee Chapa should be fighting Blueface. In reality, Blueface is one of them big ass motherfucker. Like, you know, I'm not trying to vote violence
Starting point is 01:36:41 into this, but you don't fight this type of nigga. You ain't on the prison yard. The fuck? Well, let's meet up and squabble. No. You're going to meet up with something else. No, no, no, no. No. No. No. You know, Blueface just, I don't know if you think he was in an incubation system or, you know what when Goku used to go into hyperbolic
Starting point is 01:36:59 time chamber. He went to jail, he caught like a thousand fades. Now he's out here trying to bully these guys. I don't like that. I don't like that at all. Analy list squabble. Dead homies. Blueface, you got to pick on somebody your own size, brother.
Starting point is 01:37:21 Okay? Or go, you know, shit, we've seen your box professionally go fight, you know, since you love using them hands so much, go fight one of the professional fighters, right? I think he's going to fight soon. I got Blueface. Blueface really, I think he can fight. Anyway, before I get to, out the topic of him and then LLE. I do want to address, you know, this idea and what I spoke about with WAC 100. It was clip.
Starting point is 01:37:42 I won't say not necessarily out of context, but people took a piece of what I said and they ran with these salacious titles to say, I am accusing WAC 100 of completely robbing blueface. Now, you know, I could probably play what I said, you know, just to make sure I'm holding myself accountable and not trying to, like, change the narrative. But also I want to play what WAC said in response to it. and maybe that's fair right let's go academics blue face
Starting point is 01:38:10 whack 100 let's say we can find that clip so I want to be very factual about it here we go was this right 100
Starting point is 01:38:24 that's issued a warning so I'm gonna play what the fuck YouTuber with us what the hell is this here we go it's a conflict of interest
Starting point is 01:38:33 you know I'm not going to get in their business but I always knew blue face was pretty stupid I'll tell you why blue face is signed to WAC 100 and managed by whack 100 let me tell you how this works when you sign to a label they take they take at least half already then you're getting managed by the guy who owns the label he's so of your 50 percent that you're getting or less than 50 percent he's still taking 20 at least 20 percent
Starting point is 01:39:03 of that too it's double-dipping you get what I'm saying so so you never sign you never get or you don't have a management company owned by the people that also saw you. Okay. Now, before I address and kind of like, not necessarily clean up what I meant or really fully explain, I do want to give Wack 100 the opportunity. And he did respond. He responded here. Was it here?
Starting point is 01:39:35 Academic claims that you've been stealing money from Blueface. Yeah, I got on his ass about that. That was crazy. So for the record, he said since Blueface is signed to you on a music level and managed by you, that that means that you're essentially taking like half of his money. There's a thing with academics when I talk to him. I said, have you ever done a contract with anybody musically? Wack never said that to me, and I absolutely have.
Starting point is 01:39:58 I literally have a joint venture, just like I have a joint venture. The Academy record is it falls under 10K. Used to be under capital. And now, you know, they sent me notice they're under Atlanta. Atlantic or AMG, okay, which is a newly formed thing. Elliot, which is the son of Lucian Grange, the deal I did was with the son of Lucian Grange, which is Elliot Grange. It's on 10K projects.
Starting point is 01:40:22 It's there. Technically, I'm signed to my own label, right? Which literally I had to sign that myself. And also I signed another person as well. And also I've offered contracts as well. But that's neither here to there. would I say have more experience in WAC with doing contracts and stuff like that? I would say no, because Wack has worked with a lot more people, clearly.
Starting point is 01:40:43 No, I said, what are you talking about? Well, I'm looking at Finesse. Fennesse's contract, he got four or five people. I would never allow that to happen with none of my clients, because I know too many direct people. But who is it? It's a... Only Bag Yo. Oh.
Starting point is 01:40:56 So he originally signed... Mob ties. And then mob ties. JPE, which is the dad. You got Atlantic as a mother company. So that's four. And then he'll. You see what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:41:06 So his 20% is really probably 20% of a 40%, which is really like 8%. This is where Act gets shut down at. He said Blueface is signed to me, right? Blueface was signed to Cash Money West. Cash Money West is owned by who? Birdman. I just oversee that division.
Starting point is 01:41:21 What the fuck are you talking about? Academic claims... The reason why Wack is really good is that he has a way with words like any great media personality is. That's what I think he's one of the top meter personalities. I want to make some corrections to what he says. saying. It also probably helped clearing up what I was saying. I don't know the full details of, of the business between WAC 100 and Blueface. Anything I'm saying, I'm saying it in general,
Starting point is 01:41:46 even though based on what we've heard publicly from Blueface's own mouth on interviews and even recently, it feels like what I said matched up with what was going on. I don't have the contracts. I haven't looked at Blueface's stuff. So I'm going off of what they have said publicly, what we perceive and how that should be interpreted. Here's the very premise. The premise is this. If I do a contract, put it like this. You know, this happened with the offset like QC thing.
Starting point is 01:42:22 It's a reason why, well, let me use another analogy before I get to that. If me and 15 chat niggas get caught up in a RICO, hopefully we don't, right? It's a reason why it's a conflict of interest for your lawyer to be a lawyer of someone else. Why is it a conflict of interest? Because at a certain point, they might have to enter into a proffer status or whatever with the government that now you have to pick whose interest you're prioritizing. It's a conflict of interest for someone else. That's why people have separate attorneys. By the way, it's the reason why a judge would get recused in many situations.
Starting point is 01:42:58 If a judge, who many judges used to be prosecutors and also had private practices as defense attorneys, if a judge previously or, and by the way, I thought this helped out on why Salmando, Fannie Willis previously represented Yassel Mando, who was self-acknowledged as a co-founder of Yassel, when she was doing private practice, in between one of her prosecutorial gigs, and she represented him for a gun case. Clearly, who knows how that representation went, she may have had a lot of knowledge
Starting point is 01:43:31 from attorney-clined privilege. Now, because she represented him, it would be unethical of her to then prosecute him given the fact that she also has information that it should be only between them. Now, technically, that should be a thing, but what would normally happen is that that prosecutor would recuse himself. Does it mean that Wise Hamondo could never be charged? No.
Starting point is 01:43:52 What it means is that to not have a conflict of interest, you don't want someone who previously was with you to be prosecuting you because now it puts you in a disadvantaged position. So whether it's a judge that used to be an attorney that represented you or a prosecutor that used to be a defense attorney that represented you, those people would what they call recuse himself. It's a conflict of interest. In business, if I'm trying to sign someone, like I was trying to, and I eventually did, I successfully signed someone to the Academy Records back then, you know, they wanted to use my lawyer.
Starting point is 01:44:25 My lawyer helped me get the deal. My lawyer got 5% of my overall deal for the Academy Records. He is incentivized to make sure me who's going to be the guy who's signing a bunch of people. I got the budget. I'm the guy. He wants me to get the most of money because he's going to get the most of money. Right. So it wouldn't be ethical if I am signing a young kid and I said to the kid, you need a lawyer, but use my lawyer.
Starting point is 01:44:58 That lawyer's not going to go in there and say, hey, let me get the deal really in the favor of this guy when I could. I'm already eating with ACCA over here. He's just going to get me the best deal. Do you understand? It's a conflict of interest. It's a pretty simple thing to acknowledge. Here was my understanding of what blue face contract and situation was, right? And Wack does a really slight of hand right here.
Starting point is 01:45:23 And I want to point it out. What is it? It's a money bag, yo. Oh. Contract. Here we go. Anybody music. His money.
Starting point is 01:45:29 Here's a thing with academics. When I talk to you. I said, have you ever done a contract with anybody musically? No. I said, what are you talking about? Well, I'm looking at Finesse. Fennesse. Now, even though the conversation that I had stemmed from Finesse,
Starting point is 01:45:43 I was talking about a particular part. It's not about the five people in the contract. James Prince, the father's, James Prince, Sr., he's listed in the contract, but really he's a manager. It becomes a conflict of interest. That's where I got this idea of conflict of interest. If he's supposed to be. be managed by the father but signed to the son why in the contract does the father who is quote
Starting point is 01:46:17 quote going to be the that's already a confident of interest you're managed by the father of the nigger you're signed to come on like like these are like kind of simple things right like we're not like this is we're not we don't got to be aristotle or something right but whatever let's say that happens when when reading the contract the father was also included as someone that was going to take percentage. Well, to me, that's double-dipping. How are you the manager? And how are you also in the contract as the person that will be getting some type of proceeds from the music as if you were a label or, and this is the important part, a production company. Now, I'm going to explain to you a little bit of music shit, because Wack is going to over-talk it right here. Listen to Wack.
Starting point is 01:47:00 This contract, he got four or five people. I would never allow that to happen with it. Okay, so I explaining that part already, right? That's not, it's not about necessarily the amount of people, is that some people are doing two different roles, but they're all claiming percentage. That's a problem. None of my clients, because I know too many direct people. But who is it?
Starting point is 01:47:19 And also, the problem, even if you're saying, because somebody could make the, they could make the argument to say, well, JPE, which is James Prince Entertainment, he's in the contract because, you know, he's going to do management stuff but he's just getting his money from the label well no you could do a letter of direction and even then
Starting point is 01:47:41 that that still piggybacks the artist because you're saying that you have now signed a manager for the duration of your record deal that seems more than a manager that seems like a partner a manager you should be able to fire whenever you want to fire him based on whatever deal you have now maybe
Starting point is 01:47:57 maybe that includes hey you're going to be my manager for this entire record record deal okay cool if that's what you want but if your manager is baked in your deal that even if he's not working he still gets paid that seems like a partner not a manager a manager gets 20% off the top when he does services for you but if your music does well you know and you had this deal and whatever that comes from this deal if he just gets paid no matter what that sounds like a partner or an investor but again i'm trying to show you the slight a hand of, you know, Wax speaking as if people don't understand, like, the music
Starting point is 01:48:33 industry so complicated. Uh, let me bag yo. Oh. So he originally signed. Mob Ties. And then mob ties. JPE, which is the dad. Got Atlantic as a mother company.
Starting point is 01:48:44 So that's four. And then he'll. You see what I'm saying? So his 20% is really probably 20% of a 40. Okay. And this is where Wack does it talking. You know, you know, when Wax starts doing this, you're like, well, he got to be right. Which is really.
Starting point is 01:48:56 And he's kind of right here about finesse. They like 8%. But now the conversation comes back to him in Blueface. This is where Act gets shut down at. He said Blueface is signed to me, right? Blueface was signed to Cash Money West. Okay. Now, this is, you know, I'll acknowledge.
Starting point is 01:49:16 I don't know the full details of all the intricacies of his business, but I'm going off what I always heard Wax say. So Cash Money West is Birdman's company, right? That's kind of ran or overseen. by WAC 100 or was, I don't know if currently. But just like how Atlantic, Uzi's quote unquote technically signed to, Uzi's really signed a generation now. That's called a production company.
Starting point is 01:49:51 Wack 100 is leaving out a step. Yeah, Blueface is signed to Cash Money West, but my understanding is that he's signed to Cash Money West through a 100 E&T, which is Wax production company. So technically, Blueface is signed to you, and you signed his rights to cash money. Now, I could be wrong. I haven't seen his contracts. And, you know, shit, you want me to go back on my trusted site?
Starting point is 01:50:17 I could go back on my trusted site and pull up Blueface's name, right? We could pull up his name and, you know, give me one second. I don't know. Let me go find some tracks. Hold on. I'll put it on screen when I find. What was like his biggest track? is it like why does it say record label out of the album all right it's all good what i'm going to do
Starting point is 01:51:03 is let me do here and let me just go to spotify yet again right so i go to spotify and let's go to blueface this is going to you know they usually are accurate and it will print wherever it's coming through which you can figure out label information there right so i don't know his latest single is called vibes right vibes um rich the kid dddg and Blueface, I don't think this is, I think this is Richard Kidd's song, low key. What's the last, I want to see the last Blueface solo song to be able to see Better Featuring Stunner Girl. Okay, let's look at that.
Starting point is 01:51:44 Now, you see what you see right here that says 2026, 100 E&T, that's what Spotify is, is acknowledging the label to be. So when they're going to pay out for this song, even though it's only 142,000 views, they're going to pay 100 E&T. That's Wack 100's company. Now, granted, from what I'm hearing and kind of like, you know, I'm kind of figuring it out, it doesn't seem like cash money is in the picture anymore. So I get it.
Starting point is 01:52:13 Now the production company stands alone. So it's just through whack, right now. But right now, you know, and this would be my argument to Wack, your last song is dropped through a quote, quote, record label that you own how are you not his label he could just upload this to tune core without you if you're not his label it shouldn't say a hundred e and t it could say on school yard crib when it says this it's because it's going up through you as a label that's how it works you get what i'm saying it doesn't okay now let's go off this assumption that cash money's not involved in this one but maybe
Starting point is 01:52:55 in the past one so let's go back let's go back to 2024 we're going to pick a random song but it has to be a blue face song. We want to see how these things came out. Baby mama. Okay, this is 2023. Perfect. Baby mama drama. Let's click on this song.
Starting point is 01:53:10 What the fuck is this? 880601 Records DK. Okay. So what this is telling me now, right? What this is telling me, at least currently, let's go to BDD. Again, I'm just trying to figure out label. Okay, what label is this? 880601.
Starting point is 01:53:31 886. records. Now look on the song stats for this. I could tell who's labels registered to. It's distributed through Distro Kid. And they've dropped TayK, Cowboy Rich the Kid, DDG. It says related artists, but it looks like it's mainly a DDG. No, not DDG.
Starting point is 01:54:01 I mean, it's a blue face label. Okay, so I don't know. That could be something else. And that's where I'm down to stand. if I'm wrong, right? But going back, still in 2023, 2023, oh, sorry, in 20203, I'll make sure this is big, pause. It says 100 E&T. I don't know. This song is a big song. So Spotify would pay out 100 E&T. Now, whether WAC considers 100 E&T a production company or a record label is the same thing.
Starting point is 01:54:34 usually just colloquially people think that the record label is the funding party which which is cash money if he's if cash money's attached but he's technically signed to or normally because i don't know what deal they really have going on but he's signed to you like for example if atlantic records drops uzi and uzi drops a song without atlantic is still going to say generation now he's signed to generation now that's it if if if blueface was not signed to whack a hundred e and t will be not be on his music. Why is your record label on his music? So that's why I'm coming up with that. I haven't seen their contract, just to be clear, but I'm going off of this because let's go find some other songs. Blue Racks, this is Better Days. Okay, this is Better Days.
Starting point is 01:55:23 This is one, let's get to come outside. To the boys get out the way. Yeah, right here. Outside Better Days is 2021. Let's click on this. Here we go. Fifth Amendment. Okay, so this one, so what it appears to me is that, I don't know, maybe he's signing these, like, single deals.
Starting point is 01:55:48 It might be single deals. See, I don't know. And this one I stand to be wrong. Because if we keep seeing different labels, now, some of these labels shit is because of Bobby Billions. So Bobby Billions is on Empire and whatever, whatever. And E1, I think that's the one who distributed Blueface. This record. But I'm just going off of what we're seeing.
Starting point is 01:56:11 That's it. That's it. So sometimes blue faces dropping records coming out through what seemingly is wax. Where was Tatiana under? Let me just look at all these big songs. Here we go. Fuck. Why can't?
Starting point is 01:56:29 Ah, shit, Dattinga. I'm trying to figure that. Hold on. Datiana. Hold on. Give me a second. I'm just trying to look at the last. label information.
Starting point is 01:56:39 Okay, so in 2018, there is no whack on this, right? There's no whack. And that's the first album. Then DirtBag drops. And that's on cash money. So DirtBag has cash money on it. So seemingly,
Starting point is 01:56:55 100 E&T is not involved yet. Then Famous Crip Reloaded drops. And who drops that? Fifth of Mets. Well, they own the rights to it. So they would obviously redrop it. But later on, it looks like, So, again, I'm down to amend, you know, I'm not that egotistical. What it appears is that WAC 100's label came in after,
Starting point is 01:57:15 looked like Cash Money does no longer do business with WAC. It's very clear, right? Like, they literally was on a second album. We don't see them since. Right. So they were here for the Dirtbag album. And after that, which by the was a, it was a pretty good album. I like this song, Bleed It was dope.
Starting point is 01:57:32 They had Daddy with Rich a Kid. But after that, we're going to see, like, Wax Liddle. label, which if you're asking me, maybe single deals. So I might be digressing, you know. Maybe it's not this big-ass record contract that, you know, slave deal that I'm, some people might picture that Wack got him in. But Wack is getting these single deals for him, clearly. Right, some of these songs I never heard.
Starting point is 01:57:56 Patience. Where does this come out of? Yeah, Fifth Amendment seems to be one of those. So anyway, it doesn't matter if it's on all the records or not. The principle is going to stand. right? It's a conflict of interest if your label is also your manager. Now, I spoke to Wack and Wack said, yo, if I'm operating as a production company and we take something and we get a bag from a label, I don't double dip. And I want to be clear, Wax said he doesn't double dip,
Starting point is 01:58:33 which that would be unethical, even though he technically could. If he's on paper as management, because if you're on paper as management for me academics, it would mean if Spotify comes with $5 million, you take 2, 2,000, oh, not 2 million, but 20%, right? Which is 1 million, right? Which is, okay, cool. Then if Spotify gives it an advance, you would get 20% of whatever the advances.
Starting point is 01:58:58 But if you also get an advance yourself, that's some partnership. So that's why it's double-dipping. So, you know, I hope you guys understand. I think it's pretty simple. yo your manager can't be a label bro like you pick one my nigga either you're my label or my manager now granted does blue face and whack seemingly may have like this different relationship where maybe whack is just hustling and getting him like single deals in a bag like he might get
Starting point is 01:59:26 a song that starts popping off and whack goes to like e1 so look like he's an independent artist he gets a song popping off whack goes to e1 and says yo do you want you know bleed it or you want this particular song, they say, yeah, we'll give a million dollars for it. And WAC does that through his company, which is now the production company for that one song. But necessarily, he doesn't have Blueface in a long-term recording contract. I guess. I guess. But generally, the point should not be dismissed. Your record label and your manager shouldn't be the same person, ever. It's not a Wack 100 thing. It's not a Blueface thing. is for any artist.
Starting point is 02:00:11 The moment you sign to a nigger, if he says, yo, let me manage you. Be like, yo, now I'm going to get my manager over there. That's all good.
Starting point is 02:00:18 Your manager should only think about your interest, not the interest of maybe a label. Okay, so, all right, we're done with that. Done with that. And we are now here and back to the bullshit. We're at the drama. I know it's 4 o'clock
Starting point is 02:00:32 and we're finally getting to some drama. If you guys haven't seen the back and forth between N. And Lee Chopin, blue face, it has gone off the rails. I think Blueface is sort of being a bully. Like Blueface, you came out of jail.
Starting point is 02:00:42 You look like you look like you should be fighting, like, you know, Undertaker Kane. Like, shit, if not for the hands, and I know you probably got those, bro. Like, you have all type of hieroglyphics that is just like tattooed on your face. You're talking about you'll put baby oil on people. You'll try him. I'm not going to lie. It's the reason why I didn't want to fight Saucy Santana.
Starting point is 02:01:03 The moment he said, I'm going to knock you out and fuck you like this. I was like, you, I got to shoot you. Like, what are we talking about? we're not going to schedule a fight. Like, I got to schedule your death. That's it. It is what it is. So Blueface is kind of bullying people.
Starting point is 02:01:17 I don't think nobody wants to fight him. However, the situation quickly escalated from yesterday with them kind of going back and forth to Blueface now immediately saying, let's squabble up. Now, it started here, if you guys don't remember. Here we go. Yeah, true. So, I made you I'm making with connected proof. He said,
Starting point is 02:01:46 fool. What are you this? What do you do? Chat. Don't you have a song? Chat. Yeah, I made that. We're all good.
Starting point is 02:01:57 You know how to go. You know, I do. You know. Why are you this? What did you say? Chat. I know he did not just say Sue. Play it back.
Starting point is 02:02:06 Play it back. Play it back. You can't hear. You can get to go back. Okay. I said you never been to enter. What that mean? I ain't never been interested.
Starting point is 02:02:28 I think it's a joke to that don't you can turn a crib red set trip so booed like a mess in one connected blue too. What a little bit of a dude when it ain't nothing to do? I say you never been an entry. Blueface says I can't beef with no man who's getting his blue. Somebody get the baby oil, okay? Y'all talking about Chop have an identity crisis.
Starting point is 02:02:55 Man, have y'all seen this? Duh, niggil. Now, Italy Chapa said that Blueface go into identity crisis. Face? What the fuck? He's got every brand in the world on his motherfucking face. Because you wake up every day, you want to learn how to be the best gang bangle. You, man, you is, you pitiful, sir.
Starting point is 02:03:15 You feel me? Mr. Buttdownearn. Mr. Man, man, that's the I can think of and I ain't there many on. Man, you f*** up, dog. You wake up every day, can't. Is something about how he was talking here? I was like, I feel like he's putting on an accent.
Starting point is 02:03:32 But maybe that's how Memphis thing is talk. I felt like he was putting on an accent, though. You don't need prioritized. Nothing bigger than some shit that ain't gave you nothing positive in life. Man, what you want to be respected? You wake up every day trying to beat something. You truly.

Starting point is 02:06:20 okay so Blueface said that and of course and Ali Chapa finally responded to the Fader request and he actually turned it down which I think it's smart Blueface is being a bully like like forget all that save your manhood shit in front of the public,
Starting point is 02:06:38 you know this guy's going to pulverize you. Like, you know what I mean? Sometimes it's got to be realistic, you know? Like, put it like this. If little baby looked like blueface and I thought he could fight like blue face and I didn't think he was like 100% pure USDA bitch, I would have challenged him to a spelling bee. 100%.
Starting point is 02:06:58 Let's do a reading competition, okay? Let's like, you know, let's see who could do, in an escape room quicker, whatever, right? Yeah, I wouldn't be challenging to don't fucking fight. Like, of course. Like, when niggas, I like when people be like, yo, you're just picking all the little baby.
Starting point is 02:07:15 And I'm like, if a gangster rapper should be scared of me, he's pussy. This is why we got to stop saying some of these guys are gangster. You know what I mean? Lufay, I'm going to decline your offer. Who? With a way better proposition for you. You feel me?
Starting point is 02:07:32 Because we know. Why is he talking like that? Talk like evil villain. What's the temperature in Memphis? CNT Dusk, yo, thank you for the gifted. You owe $23 million to that club for one. You owe another $100,000 to soldier boy, baby mama. So your goal is to give me to fight you to help pay off your debt.
Starting point is 02:07:55 Okay, cool. I understand that, right? So that's my reason to not fight you, because I ain't going to help you pay your debt, but I got a better proposition for you. How about this? Take your son and stand behind beside my son. And let's see which one of them know how to operate.
Starting point is 02:08:15 Let's see, hey, hold your son beside my son. Let's see which one of them can hold their head off. Is he talking about Charles Barkley, Jr.? No. You, unfortunately, y'all, Blueface and Chrison Rock smoking black and Miles and drinking Hennessy will always plague them because, You know, and this kid, the kid is innocent in this, but, you know, you got to call a spade of spade.
Starting point is 02:08:48 The sins of the father, you know, always get paid for, you know, by the son. And if you don't want to fight Blueface, you don't want to, like, go toe to toe with him, you're going to remind him that, hey, look at your son, which is kind of sad, but I guess Blueface created this situation. Huh? How about that? Yeah. Put your son beside my son. See them bark. They see them slap box.
Starting point is 02:09:18 Oh shit. Put your son beside my son. Let's see who can hold their fingers up to their nose. And I'm going to be honest with you. And I know and I know Blueface is not going to admit it. But I personally think Blueface and Chrison Rock, they feel extremely guilty. They, their actions, being so reckless, has not only put their son into this position where when people, want to get at them, they're going to try to also get it, you know, possibly their son's
Starting point is 02:09:50 disabilities. But it's no one else to be blamed, but Blueface and Chrison. And I know we've been saying as Chrison, but there's episodes of the Zeus show where Chrison is, is literally pregnant. Blueface is right there and they're smoking together. They're hotboxing the kid. So Blueface was co-like, he was complicit in what, in terms of maybe whatever, disabilities or or whatever that that turned out to be from the kids um you know you know whatever physical impairness that came from the kid being born um of maybe whatever condition i don't want to confirm anything but it looks like maybe something's up right hey i'm gonna decline your offer okay well about there yeah charr berkeley put your hand up yo where do you
Starting point is 02:11:03 get the Charles Barkley reference from. Yo, Blueface, I'm going to be honest with you. And this is why I think they should keep their child off the internet. And I know some people are going to say, this guy's going low. Well, part of their interaction is some low shit.
Starting point is 02:11:30 This isn't like, oh, we got respect for each other. This is some low shit already. Blue. Because I'm a top tier trobe, I'm telling you what niggis is going to do. and this is why you might, you know, this is what niggis is going to do.
Starting point is 02:12:00 The next time you'll be for the nigger, he's going to be talking over this intro right here. Look, Shack. No, no, no, no. What the fuck? Oh, my God, I can't find it. What's the TNT, like, what's it called? NBC on TNT, the theme song?
Starting point is 02:12:37 Wait. Oh, yeah, right. Y'all keep playing with me. I ain't playing. You think these fucking guys are entertainment. I'm dead serious, nipper. Put your song beside myself. Put little Charles Barcliffe behind,
Starting point is 02:13:04 beside toes and the icon. Yeah, me. Your priority, look, don't worry about a little cripple. Yeah, nip. Yeah, I'm out of pocket. I ain't playing with me, boy. I'm out of pocket, man. Yeah, I'm too out of pocket.
Starting point is 02:13:21 Handle me the right way, homie. By the helping you pay your debt. You're $23 million to Las Vegas, Cause you my you come on Coo. You dispeak. Now you got to pay for you. You're trying to boss me to help your son. I'm afraid it up.
Starting point is 02:13:41 I and Ali could Ernie get in? Your Ernie. Hi, my man. Ernie. Ah, we stop. Let me stop. Pay their $100,000. What about this?
Starting point is 02:13:53 Yeah, Charles Barkley. Put your hand up. Take a step, Charles. Hey, what's up with your son? I'm in the streets. Y'all keep playing with me. I got to catch you a little. My nitchie a little slow.
Starting point is 02:14:08 A catchy little slower. A catchy little slower. It's gush from me. Wait, wait, what? Okay, okay. All right. I know I was saying there's no too far, but that might be too far. Was that too far?
Starting point is 02:14:25 Get this man some chapstick paws. Tearing in your thin up. You worry about the wrong. You're on Twitch, playing. Having a financial crisis. Did it to cry. You want to come at me every day because you need somebody at nighttime you so you get some money on. You will never pay it back.
Starting point is 02:14:47 Show me $23 million right now. Show me $23 million. Yeah, show me that. Talk about some boxing. Talk about some DLE. Yeah, but show me $23 million. Because you're stupid. Yeah, show me that.
Starting point is 02:15:07 Yeah, man. And I heard them. Eating your ass, I heard even worse about you. Well, damn. Blueface was taking a nap. You know, he got to give the tattoos some rest. And he, you know, he was a little bit less animated, but he responded. Well, I guess he turned to down, y'all.
Starting point is 02:15:31 Turning down faith publicly is crazy. But I don't know what to do after this point, y'all. This is why I exit at. I'm going to start talking about all the type of other random I ain't got to do with shit. I'm going to be honest with you. I do know this. This is a sore spot for Gooface.
Starting point is 02:15:52 I've realized he's never addressed it. He's never even said, man, eat a dick, my kid is fine. You know, and I think once you mentioned this, all that de homies, that shit go out the window. He's a little bit more. calm. I know he's sleeping, but
Starting point is 02:16:12 that's how shit is though. When niggins find a weak spot, that's what I'm saying. There's going to be mad jokes. Thank you guys for your time. Either. Well. Let's see. Have either or responded since?
Starting point is 02:16:40 I know Blueface is on Twitch. Blueface Twitch. Has he responded again? him man it's not his page blue face switch does he stream on Twitch I can't find it what the fuck is this fuck is these people what's his new Twitch channel all right I can't find all right let me just search blue face I wanted to see if you responded but look like he didn't oh it's house of blues oh he's on right now wing stop lemon pepper all flats is this blueface page
Starting point is 02:17:43 No, it's not. It tastes so good. Okay, it's not. I think Blueface fucked up by, like, not fighting a rapper first. Niggies unseen enough with Blueface. Nobody going to get in the ring with you. All right. I think we're good.
Starting point is 02:18:17 I think we're good. All right. It appears that this Nikki Minaj interview is kind of out. By the way, I do know y'all want to talk a little bit more about the Epstein files and such forth. Let's just kind of look at this Nikki Minaj interview. Actually, no, no, before we do that, here it is, but before we do that, let me, let me go watch Cameron commented on him suing Jay Cole. If you don't know, the news came out at Cameron, Jay Cole, there's a lawsuit. And apparently, Jay Cole has defend himself, and he actually got Drake's lawyers.
Starting point is 02:18:55 Now, I don't know if Drake gave a recommendation, but, you know, he got Drake's lawyers. to defend the lawsuit that Cam hit them with. Now, Cam hit Universal Music Group with a lawsuit last October, and it was over there Ready 24 collab. Let me hear a little bit more about the lawsuits. Now, Cam first Sue Cole and Universal in 2025. He alleges these owed about half a million dollars in royalties from Ready 24, which is a collab from the Might Delete later rapper.
Starting point is 02:19:27 and he says he has not gotten paid. According to the exclusive, shout to Grouchy Greg. He's a guy, I know him from all hip-hop. I used to post on all-hip-hop forums. It was called IAC back in the day. He says he was hit with a lien from a photographer for copyright infringement. For those unaware, Killikam has to pay a 50K judgment for failing to license a picture of himself he used for his due merchandise. As such, any potential payment that he would get from a hypothetical victorious loss against Cole would have to first cover this judgment unless...
Starting point is 02:20:05 Did I... Okay, whatever. Interesting. Let's see. I want to read a little bit more about the lawsuit. In the filing, Cam reveals that him and Cole worked on a song back in 2022, remained in touch over the next two years. As Cam continually asked if he could appear in the podcast, Cole claimed to be unavailable. In turn, Cam is arguing that he was never properly compensated for his ready 24 work and wants to judge the way in on the matter. He hopes to be named a co-author in a song to recoup his alleged losses through money.
Starting point is 02:20:36 The track is made at the time of the publishing Cole isn't responded yet. Okay. Ah, so it's, okay, so I kind of get it, right? I kind of get it. It looks like Jay Cole drops a record with Cam on Might Delete Later. And Cam probably, you know, he clears it in the sense of he's not going to take it down. but he doesn't get properly compensated. And Cam, who's not really an active rapper,
Starting point is 02:21:07 you know, like full time, probably says, yo, bro, I'll do a verse for you, but I want you to, you know, I'm not going to charge you a fee, but I want you to come on be on my podcast, which would be a big look because Jay Cole rarely does public appearances. Now we all know what it is with rappers. I've been promising the views forever. These guys are habitual liars.
Starting point is 02:21:30 And Cam probably knows it himself because he probably is probably his problems, people, interviews and never came through on him. And I think he probably realized that after, like, two years, and he's probably realizing Jay Cole is punking him. He's bitching him. Jay Cole is like, you know, sent him on a dummy mission. And I'm going to be honest with you, I think in any other rapper, Cameron doesn't sue. Cameron probably, like, you know, tries to amicably deal with this situation. But Jay Cole is getting bitched by Kendrick, by Drake, by everybody that's his peers. Like, the guy who's getting punked by everybody, you're not going to allow punk you.
Starting point is 02:22:04 And I think that's the thing. You know, it's going to always remain with Jay Cole. Like, Jay Cole apologized to Kendrick Lamar before Kendrick even breathed. Like, before Kendrick could even, you know, exhale, he apologized. You dropped to this and apologize, and you get to realize Jay Cole is, he's like the definition of, like, a beta male. Like, you know, the person who, you know, not necessarily, let me not use necessarily beta mail, but you can't have that guy finesse in you. You know what I mean? Like, you feel a way.
Starting point is 02:22:31 You feel a different type of way. So I could imagine he's like asking Cole, like, Yo, Cole, like, yo, Cole, when you come into the pot. You know, Cole's like, you know, right now I'm riding bicycles through Tribeca. Okay? I can't do it. Yo, Cole, when you're coming to the pod, bro? Yo, I'm about to go play.
Starting point is 02:22:44 I'm the 14th man on the Ghanaian basketball team. Okay. Yo, Cole, when he comes to the pod, bro? Yo, bro, I got to go hold up some picket signs with that loser, my son, and we got a march for some Black Lives Matter thing. What? It's 2025. What are you talking about you got a march?
Starting point is 02:22:59 whatever cool. And I think Cam gets to the point of saying, this guy's like, it's like treating me like I'm a bum. He's treating me like how Kendrick treated him. You ain't going to do that to a haul of,
Starting point is 02:23:12 nigger, and I think that's what would probably happen. Now, Cam supposedly he spoke on this recently. I want to hear what Cam said. I haven't listened to this before. Cameron, Jay Cole, but he spoke in his own words. Here we go. Where we go with it? Where we go?
Starting point is 02:23:28 Where we go? All right, man. Hey, what's up? How you doing today? Good. You all right? Okay. Wait, Cam was at ComplexCon?
Starting point is 02:23:37 Oh. Wait, that's... Oh, yeah, it was at CombsCon. Oh, that's from way back. I thought recently Cam spoke about the whole thing. Let's see. Camra on Jay Cole. I'll find the clip better on, or quicker on Twitter.
Starting point is 02:24:01 Here we go. A cool or was. Me and Jay Cole are cool or was cool. This is exactly what happens. Being a man that's keeping your wife. And I know everybody. Facts. He's busy and everybody has things to do.
Starting point is 02:24:12 But if I give you my word four or five times, I got to do it. So on his first project he did, I did an intro for him. I did the record for him for his intro. I told him I may need a verse whenever I get a project. He said, cool. He had another project. I did a record in 20 minutes. I knocked that shit out and went off about my business.
Starting point is 02:24:31 I need a verse. I'm exaggerating. He's like the shock rain right right now. And, you know, the moon got a line with the stars. stars and you know what I write I put my all into it okay let's put your all into it okay you call me twice to do son and I did it one day you have 48 hours to do it then I knocked the other thing out soon as I came to york yeah one side of relationships after a while you kind of get upset by it because you you'll have these friends or associates and they'll
Starting point is 02:25:03 ask you for something you jump through hoops for them right like you'll instantly like they ask you to do something, you do it immediately, within 10 minutes, within the day, within a week. And this one, you know, you're in a one-sided friendship. You may ask that person for something, and they don't say no. They're just like, hey, listen, yo, I'm going to get to it. And you don't want to be like this needy bitch, right? Like, that's a guy thing. You don't be this needy bitch.
Starting point is 02:25:26 But do you're like, who did you do it yet? Did you do it? When are you going to do it? So you kind of let them, you know, you kind of think that just out of integrity and being a stand-up individual, you're going to remember like, hey, you made me a promise. Right? Remember when y'all were getting on me when I told y'all, I said, hey, listen, Dirk had reached out to me, and Dirk says, or he said on some platform, he says, I owe academics an interview, right? And a lot of people like, nah, he was just trying to get you on his side because, like, he's going out of a young boy.
Starting point is 02:25:57 He needs your support. And I said, you know what? It's going to tell me a lot about Dirk because he gives me his word. He's going to do the podcast. Little Dirk then does a podcast that is really. becomes infamous with Gileon Wallow before he does a podcast or does an interview with me. A lot of people say, yo, act, see, he snaked you. See?
Starting point is 02:26:17 He told you was going to do it. He didn't do it. That guy's a liar. You jumped through hoops for him. And remember the relationship with me and Dirk, Dirk called me up. I believe it was like in 2015 or 2016. He just got dropped from Def Jam.
Starting point is 02:26:31 And he said, and I was streaming, not that much audience, but I was streaming at the time. And he says, act, yo, you know, I need some promo. listen, I see doing the streaming stuff. Yo, I'm down to get on there and we could play 2K, just have my album play in the background. I want people to know about it. And I said, come on, of course, let's do it. And I supported him not only through the Warren Shirek era,
Starting point is 02:26:55 but even afterwards when there was this weird era where he was dropped. So when he said, hey, listen, I'm going to do something with you, I'm thinking based on our history, he's going to be a man of his word. not is going to tell me everything I need to know about him as a man you see you see this game you got a you have to judge people as men you're gonna say I'm sound like a broken record but no this is why you know I look at a little baby like he's scum and I talk about him like that because he wasn't a man he could have he could have said academics I'm not happy with you I'm not cool let's not act like you know hey act you'll you'll twin don't don't twin me to death and then do
Starting point is 02:27:33 some snake shit right just like you know dirt dirt gives me a verbal promise. I'm going to do, I'm going to do an interview with you, bro. So it goes to do the interview with Gillian Wallo. And a lot of y'all, my audience specifically chat, he was like, yo, act, yo, this guy lied to you. And I say, you know what, for some reason, I don't think Dirk is like these other industry suckers. I think if he says something, he's going to do something. And I could tell he was even cognizant of the conversation that was being had because he would hit me offline to say, oh, act. Yo, don't worry I still got you.
Starting point is 02:28:10 Now some people would have blew up at that point and said, fuck you, nigga like you're hitting me on the load trying to still make sure I'm good, but you lied to me. But for whatever reason, Dirk comes across different from these other suckers, even like little baby. I knew who's going to come through.
Starting point is 02:28:27 He hit me up afterwards and he says, I want to do this elaborated interview. And I say, I want to do it. I want it to be raw. You know what to ask, and I want you to ask everything. Whatever you're thinking,
Starting point is 02:28:38 He didn't tell me one thing to ask. And I always told you about an interview. The reason why it's Dirk's best interview, we cut the interview three times. So we end the interview. And like, you know, like two minutes after like some conversation, be like, oh, shit, I didn't ask you about that. And Dirk said, we still sitting here. You could turn that shit back on.
Starting point is 02:28:56 So he gave me every opportunity to ask every fucking question I wanted. He not only lived up to his word. He lived up to his word of giving me the shit. shit. Pause. That's something is admirable. That's one thing that no matter what happens with Dirk, I will always speak of him as a man that I've known with integrity. Not a low-down scum.
Starting point is 02:29:22 Not a backstabbing loser. Not a one-sided, using parasitic bloodsucker leech. Someone who if he says he's going to do something, he's going to do it. And that matters a lot of my book. Anyway, I know I went on this little tangent. I let Cam play on it. Me and Jay Cole are cool or was cool. This is exactly what happened. Being a man is keeping your word and I know everybody's busy and everybody has things to do. But if I give you my word four or five times, I got to do it. So on his first project he did, I did an intro for him. I did the record for his intro. I told him I may need a verse whenever I get a project. He said, cool. He had another project. I did a record in 20 minutes. I knocked that shit out and went off about my business. I need a verse. I'm exaggerating. He's like the shock rain right now.
Starting point is 02:30:10 And, you know, the moon got along with the stars. You know, when I write, I put my all into it. Okay, let's put your all into it. You know what I? You got me. You got me twice to do something. And I did it. One day, you have 48 hours to do it.
Starting point is 02:30:26 Then I knocked the other thing out as soon as I came to New York because you ain't want to send me a record. You want to be in the studio with me. I knocked it out. Cool, you don't get me the record. Then I say, you know what? Forget the record. Let's do an interview.
Starting point is 02:30:37 That I got you. I got a project coming out in June. Let's do it around there. Cool, June is coming. Oh, we push the album back. I don't want to just do an interview. All right, cool. He's playing with you, Cam.
Starting point is 02:30:50 He's playing with you. And I can see how, if you know anything about Cam's personality, he's not the guy you string along with fake promises and false hopes. We're going to do it in October. All right, I call you back in October. Yeah, what's up? Man, Keller. You call you, I tell you October.
Starting point is 02:31:14 You call October, huh, nigga? Yeah, I put it in my calendar. Call him in October. He says, I'll give you the interview in October. I'm here in October. Yeah, nigga. Yeah. So now this is when all the beef is going on with Kendrick Lamar.
Starting point is 02:31:30 I can't do it now because I don't feel like talking about that right now. I say, look, I'll do the interview. I won't even bring that up. He says, now, I can't do no interview and not talk about it. I, well, when can I get the interview? Yo, February, definitely. February, I'm dead ass on February. February, come.
Starting point is 02:31:48 Yo, what's up? Oh, shit. Yo, Cam is on point. Cam, like, 50, would be collecting money. Yo, you know what I'm gonna be like, yo, yo, I got you next week. What day next week? Wednesday? And you think they're gonna forget
Starting point is 02:32:00 about next week, Wednesday? Next week, Wednesday, bright and early, 8 o'clock, the nigga in the text. Yo, what up, bro? You said, yo, what's good? Yo, what's up with the money? Damn, dog. You really punctual?
Starting point is 02:32:10 Yeah, I'm punctual. Sure. Y'all still working, man. I hear you. I hear you, Cam. I hear you, Kim. This is what he said back in the day about it. You said,
Starting point is 02:32:31 going to Jay Cole? Because I got questions about that. Okay. Jay Cole, that's the product. Part of his son from North Carolina. Why are you suing Jay Cole, my nigga? He don't bother nobody?
Starting point is 02:32:53 I don't want to answer. Okay. All right. Well, we'll just answer this. He's on his way of being a rap legend. That don't make you just want to be like, nah, you know what? Let bygones be bygones or whatever the case may be.
Starting point is 02:33:08 TMZ is right. You're suing him? I think Jay Cole is definitely going to be a rap legend. 100%, definitely. Then he don't get a pass? All right, man. Shod's a killer, man. Killer's the best.
Starting point is 02:33:34 Cameron is one of those people. Like, I told you. you I watched this whole podcast at ComplexCon and I got in line and I wanted to I really wanted to say how to Cam and shout to Mace I love Mace too but like yo let me tell you this there's nothing cooler than Cam around to me bro

Nita, T-Mack taps Vince Carter on the shoulder and be like, yo, that's Ack. And I kind of froze up. I'm like, Tracy McGrady knows me? Oh, it's late.

Starting point is 02:35:17 like, you know, he's like, yo, we should, like, get dinner and shit like that, you know what I mean? Like, whatever. Like, yo, I fuck with your movement, whatever. I'm like, yo, bro,
Starting point is 02:35:23 I'm the biggest fan of yours. So, yeah, me and T-Mac, like, we locked in now. Yo, that's my guy. T-mac. Timak's a real nigga. You, I grew up on these people. Like, the whole time he's talking to me,
Starting point is 02:35:32 he's like, yo, bro, your ass be funny, man. And I'm like, you'm actually having, like, a one-o-old. Like, I really get, like, Starstruck But I'll say
Starting point is 02:35:42 Killer Definitely Alan Iverson And TMAC I was just like Like the whole time Like TMAC is thought I'm like I grew up watching you
Starting point is 02:35:51 Like I'm sorry bro I never met Kobe Rest in peace I wish I did I probably would be the same than Kobe Yeah
Starting point is 02:35:57 Name some people you would be like genuinely star Like you gotta remember Like bro I was like A little stupid kid watching TMAC
Starting point is 02:36:06 Like bro I'm little stupid kid Like it's no way ever I think that Chi Mack would be able to see me and be like, that's so-and-so. You know what I mean? Nause.
Starting point is 02:36:23 Somebody said fanboy, of course. Like, I don't care about what? I think I might have a hug. I didn't even go for the Dap with Al-Ivers. I think I just hugged him. I don't care. I'm a fan boy, Alan Iverson. When I was a kid, and when I remember I just came over here like 2000, 2001,
Starting point is 02:36:41 he was the underdough. Remember the Lakers is winning all the time. So I'm now a 76ist fan. Really, Alan Ivers. fan. I would watch Alan Iverson play every chance I get I cried. I used to cry when he lost.
Starting point is 02:36:53 Like I used to like cry as a kid. I was just like you lost. Not realizing. Obviously when you get older, like you realize like these NBA players are getting millions, mad bitches. Like, bro, yeah. He always put his heart in the game, but like I'm pretty sure he wasn't fucking crying or like that sad after he lost the game, right?
Starting point is 02:37:11 Like, you know, he's probably like this ugly motherfucker DeKembe Motumbo could have grabbed four more rebounds. I'm good. Let's hit the club, guys. But as a kid, like, Iverson was my fucking hero. Anyway, I love Iverson. Oh, speaking of which, which this is the harshest critique I've ever had to give. And I hope, you know, this is a good segue because when you see me compare this person to Iverson, I don't play about Iverson. I love Alan Iverson way more to Michael Jordan, way more than Kobe, way more than LeBron, way more than all these niggis. Alan Iverson was my guy and still is my guy to this. day. Now, you know, it's taken a lot of maturation and growth and, you know, I'm a logical
Starting point is 02:37:53 person I always say. So now I could like, you know, I have these conversations of his greatness, but like there was a, like, part of my childhood and, you know, up until a certain point, I was like Alanavis is the greatest player of all time. I don't care what nothing I'll say. There was just one clip and I can't find it ever, but like they had asked Shaq who the top five players to him are and he had named Alan Harris. I remember I kept holding on to him like, yes, people believe like me. I would argue with people like Alan Navis is the best player. ever. I'm just an Al Navvis a fan. A little bit delusional, but yes, after a while I got to understand certain things that would be necessary for you to call someone the best player. He lacks.
Starting point is 02:38:29 Like, for example, the championship, right? I will say this, though. And this is why, you know, when people hear me make this comparison, and as I go into his next story, they think that, they think I'm dissing, but I'm not. I'm telling you, as a kid, I used to cry when Alan Iverson lost the game. He was my hero. He's my favorite player. I still think he's one of the best ever. Over time, though, especially with the Kobe's, with the, you know, Steph Curry's and even the LeBron's, you know, my perspective of how basketball and them as players, like, matured, like, even think about, think about Carmel Anthea. Carmelo Anthony. Carmelo Anthony, a really good player, but at the end of the day, I don't think he had a ring, right? I'm right about that. He never,
Starting point is 02:39:17 had a championship ring. Because of that, he's looked at as very different. Same with Alan Iverson. He gets left out of conversations that I think he would have been in if he had won two or three rings. Because you get to realize after you leave that fan stage and you grow up and you could sit back and analyze, or maybe that player stops playing, some other things matter. And even though Alan Iverson is so known for the crossover and other things, I definitely do agree his legacy and his, you know, how I.
Starting point is 02:39:47 I viewed him in terms of being, like, I think it's crazy that if people are talking about the top shooting guards of all time, he's not, like, I think he better, to me, he's better than D-8. Right. I think it's, I think it's Mike, Kobe, Iverson. And yes, I consider him a shooting guard, not a point guard, even though some people would say he should be in a point guard list. But regardless, he would be top five in both categories, in my opinion. obviously when people then talk about it you might even look at me as nuts and so are you crazy bro like yeah he's good he's really influential crossover cornrows how he dressed got you but he never won and i hate to go through the segue hopefully he's not that harsh as it's kind
Starting point is 02:40:31 of perceivably seeming right now but that's kind of how i'm thinking my little way i've made this comparison multiple times and the only reason i i spoke on my love for alan ivers is because i'm not disrespect it. I love Alan Iverson. But I understand how people view him and his legacy in post because they use certain things to almost
Starting point is 02:40:53 rate people's accomplishments and a ring is one of them. You know, I posted this and I felt it was a really sad post. When I posted it, I said, this is epitomizing exactly what I thought. Little Wayne
Starting point is 02:41:10 posted up after the Grammys, congrats of the nominees and the winners. I wasn't included as usual. I got to work harder. One time for my slime Bill Belly. And I got to be honest with you. This is going back to what I said. People didn't like when I said it. I had a potential interview with Wayne. I think it got canceled. I never got the official reason why. But this was after I said that I didn't think Carter III was necessarily a classic. You know, obviously it's definitely a prolific album. And I think I may change my opinion on that but it was back then I said it and really I was comparing him to his peers I was comparing him to the goats like you know when we think about the goats whether it's um
Starting point is 02:41:51 biggie where there's life after death whether it's uh jZ uh in terms of what he called again reasonable doubt yes many of the blueprint of a few others whether it's naz if we're talking about illmatic uh whoever we consider to be some of the greatest rappers of our time they had these quintessential classics. Now, obviously, things has changed because we get to the drakes and, you know, you get more of a mixed bag in terms of people might say, you know, at a time, I think people didn't accept that.
Starting point is 02:42:23 Take Care was a classic. I think now it is. But the point what I'm trying to make is that I've always felt like Little Wayne's career is like Allen Ivers. Why? Because his accolades has never came on what we all judge the greats for. If we're talking about Kendrick Lamar,
Starting point is 02:42:40 we think about how many classics does he have these bona fide, like, best albums or possible best albums of all time. We think about Good Kid, Mad City. To Pimp a Butterfly, I've always said it is remarkable and spectacular. If we're just judging from a critique and critic point of view, obviously there's damn a commercially successful and viable album. And, of course, you know, some people might even credit his other works, like Untitled or Perhaps Even GNX or What Was the Other One Call?
Starting point is 02:43:09 Big Step. I think that's kind of mid, but whatever. When we think about Jay Cole, we think about 2014 Forest Hills Drive, but some people might also include some of these other things. And I thought that Wayne, his legacy, will not bold well when people retell the history of hip hop because the majority of his success came via features and came on the mixtape circuit. A circuit that's become antiquated. Yes, it's remembered. It is heralded to a certain extent. But as time changes, people change.
Starting point is 02:43:49 Like, for example, the average person who watches LeBron James now probably never watched Michael Jordan play. Who is the best becomes what you see, not what actually happened. And you forget moments if they're not memorialized right. Jay-Z, even though, you know, he did his thing on mixed tapes. Obviously, there were group mixtapes. You know, he had Rockefeller this and third. he memorialized his career really well with an amazing catalog. He dropped an album per year if you think about it when we got to reasonable,
Starting point is 02:44:18 actually no, the black album. Jay-Z had dropped an album per year up until then. I think he might have missed one. His catalog and his legacy is memorialized by that. Even 50 Cent, one of the guys who pioneered the idea and the thought of these mixtape circus because G-U and it, you know, 50 was really nasty on that mixtape scene as well. We could think about like his actual albums and they were commercially viable, dominant and even classic, especially if we think about Get Rich and I trying.
Starting point is 02:44:56 The master followed up, Beg for Mercy, which was a group album. He worked on the game's documentary album, giving him six songs. Basically, 50 cent, his career is memorialized not only by his health. with the other artists signed in G-Unit, but also his mainstream commercial albums lasted the test of time. I've always critiqued Lil Wayne to say, the thing about Wayne is that we're going to look back at his career and it's going to be a if you know you know type of thing
Starting point is 02:45:33 rather than being objective. You don't need to, I wasn't around in 96. Some of you guys may have not been around for the blueprint. You know, if you're actually in New Yorker, you're like, you had to be there, man. He dropped the album on the same day as 9-11 and blah, blah, blah, blah. And that's, yes, that's a personal anecdotal story of how Jay's album is. But you didn't have to be there to still understand Jay Z's greatness or prolificness as an artist. Unfortunately, the mixtape scene that is kind of still not even, you know, fully integrated with the DSB systems.
Starting point is 02:46:10 There lies a lot of Wayne's greatness. If I bring up a track that might be on one of the leaks that were unauthorized at the time or maybe even one of his mixtape tracks where he was remixing another person's track, it might be difficult to find. You might find an old YouTube link, but it's not that known or heralded, which what does it mean? It means if you know, you know, if you live through that era and you are into hip hop, you know, some other people would like to say you're outside. You would be like, no, there was nothing moving beyond Wayne. and everybody wanted to be Wayne, from the tattoos to the hairstyle to the raps, people wanted to be him.
Starting point is 02:46:50 And you would be right. But as time goes on, and everybody finds their own goats, and everybody finds their own moments, and they have their own people that represent their era, when they look back at past eras, little Wayne's legacy I've never thought aged well. And I'm not saying it to disrespect
Starting point is 02:47:07 because I'm comparing him to my goat, Alan Iverson. When I watch Alan Iverson play was a spectacle. Every time he tried to go up to the hoop, spectacle. Every time it was a layup, he was doing some acrobatic shit. He was knocked to the ground by somebody like Shaq was 700 pounds, knocking him to the ground. I would still see him get up, shake it off, go to the free throw line.
Starting point is 02:47:28 It was an N-1. He hit a free throw. He would play much defense, but that boy, he would get the ball. He crossed niggas up. He had that little swag about him. That guy gave it as all. When I watch Alan Iverson play, I honestly even now watching
Starting point is 02:47:42 Steph Curry, Luca Donchick, watching LeBron James watching anybody and watching whoever you could say are really dominant, prolific players. Alan Iverson was him. But I watched it. I watched the D-Waids. I watched all those people.
Starting point is 02:48:04 But whether it's stats, you know, these days it's all about efficiency, this and third. Gone of the days that we had those basketball players who were volume shooters. Y'all remember that. Niggas would shoot 11 for 30, but shoot 11 for 30, still get 32 points, and the team would win. It wasn't all about efficiency.
Starting point is 02:48:27 Oh, you only shoot from this side of the court at this time because your percentage is this. Hey, we're running all this. It was a bunch of hand checking. It was a hard, tough play. Percentages was different. These days, as a basketball player, if you're not shooting over 45%, you're probably struggling. At that time, it was a little bit different. As long as you're shooting 40%, you're good.
Starting point is 02:48:45 three point percentages these days are looked at you you need to be shooting way better if you put a mid-shooter now back in the early 2000s that nigga might have been who knows pager stojakovich not saying necessarily him he was a great shooter though point what i'm trying to say is that michael jordan stats even it's been what's it now it's been 30 years since 1996 his stats still compare with the current guys Six championships, never lost in the finals. He, you know, shot a very high percentage. Everything is comparable. You go to Alan Iverson. He's not shooting that well.
Starting point is 02:49:39 When you watched it and you lived it, you knew how good it was. But on paper, no championships, you see the stats, it's hard to make the point. I'd be hard pressed to find anybody who's a huge basketball fan that's in their 30s, I would believe, at this point,
Starting point is 02:49:57 and maybe even 40s, that if you were going to say, and sum up the Allen-Irison error, you wouldn't say this guy was one of the best. However, when we think about it, he often gets forgotten. He gets brought up on the cultural aspect of, yo, he changed style, fashion.
Starting point is 02:50:14 The NBA started forcing Nays to wear suits because of him. But 100% when we think about just play, and what is turned into, he gets left out of the conversation sometimes other than for the reasons I mentioned. Style, crossover, this and third, cultural impact, and that becomes sad.
Starting point is 02:50:41 That's where we're at with Wayne, chat. That's my critique about Wayne. Wayne in his 40s is still asking for recognition from the Grammys. Wayne hasn't turned to a mogul. You know, all your plays on the field or within the sport, whether it's between the lines or not between the lines, they matter.
Starting point is 02:51:15 Wayne is no mogul, respectfully. He had young money antiquated. We don't kind of look at him like some guy who, like, look at JZ. He had a Rockefeller. He sells that. He gets Rock Nation. He leverages all his position, his cultural currency and other things of what he worked for. He's one of the most powerful people in music.
Starting point is 02:51:39 Even Nas. I think Nas has done a lot in the business sense to kind of like keep his legacy alive to make sure people realize that, yo, his dominance from his era, he was able to parlay into other things. Wayne, not so much. So not only does his catalog not sit as the best because a lot of it becomes lost as time goes on. not all DSPs. And it's like when I keep saying with Iverson, if you know, you know, if you were there, you know.
Starting point is 02:52:08 You get Wayne, who's now in his 40s. You know, Jay-Z sitting back. Like, Wayne was supposed to be the guy. Remember, Wayne confidently said, well, if he's Mike, I'm LeBronner. It was some reference of like that, you know, or like Mike or Kobe or something like that, like, I'm the younger goat.
Starting point is 02:52:33 Well, when we look at the stats in totality, do we really compare a little way into Jay-Z? This is why people might scoff it, you know. Yes, does he deserve in terms of like, if you were there, you know, to perform in New Orleans, or New Orleans for the, or Louisiana, actually, for the NFL Super Bowl halftime show? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:52:58 Does he match up with everybody else? No. And watching him tweet this out, I was just like, it was a little bit of sadness. Because I believe the legacy of Wayne, for the younger folks that are coming up, yeah, he might get the, oh, yeah, oh, my favorite rapper was inspired by that rapper that was then inspired by Wayne. Cool. You get the family tree effect. But you really don't get the true appreciation like these other guys get.
Starting point is 02:53:33 Think about Jay-Z. They suck Jay-Z off. they suck the skin off his penis. I don't even think Beyonce got to check in the game. Wayne, if you ask me, his run from 2006 to 2010-11 is one of the best runs, but I feel like it's not mentioned enough. And I'll leave it there. I'm not a hater of Wayne.
Starting point is 02:54:10 I compare him to my favorite player, but I don't think his legacy has aged that well. And when I seen this tweet, this was a reminder. If Jay-Z has said this, oh, I got to still work harder, we'd be like, what the fuck? Now, granted, Jay-Z did say, you know, he kind of scolded the awards for not awarding Beyonce. And then the next year they came around and gave Beyonce a bunch of awards, makeup call. You know how to go. But what do you have thinking about my Wayne take?
Starting point is 02:54:46 I just don't think his legacy's aged well for the people that weren't there. like I understand, but I think a lot of people or a lot of other people are like, okay, anyway, real quick, in the case of Megastallion and Milagro Cooper, a judge has actually ordered Megastallion to pay an outstanding court reporter invoices for trial transcripts they previously ordered. The unpaid bills totaled. about $15,500, including a $14,662.78 invoice from December 2 and December 2nd, actually, and a $837.32 invoice from the 16th.
Starting point is 02:55:42 The court has noted that the transcripts were prepared and delivered, and they're now ordering payment from Meg the Stallion's team by the 5th of February. This is another reminder that Meg the Stalien is a loser. She's a constant loser, and I hope. hope that gumbo she keeps cooking for from Clay Thompson. I hope you don't get that nigga sick anytime soon. Because if he leaves her, she'll be once again another loser again. You know, I really have no problem with Meg the Stallion.
Starting point is 02:56:18 But Magnus Stallion career reminds us why she's a loser and an unruitable, like she's, you ever watch a movie or some type of thing and they're trying to make you root for. for one person, like they're trying to show this person, but there's something about them. You're like, fuck this person. Fuck this person. You know? That's what Meg the Stallion is. What was that? Looking up.
Starting point is 02:56:51 So, to put it in perspective, Meg the Stallion sues Milagra Cooper spends approximately maybe even up to $2 million, but I think it's safe to say, let's say over a million. In trying to pursue this, woman because she claimed this woman defamed her.
Starting point is 02:57:13 According to Meg, it was bigger than Malagra Cooper. She wanted to show bloggers and people who were reporting irresponsibly and who were paid chills and also mouthpieces for another rapper, the one she called Torrey Lanes. She said that she wanted to teach someone a lesson. So she spends a million dollars in legal fees. She has court, you know, court appointed or actually process servers actually. but even other people. I think a sheriff showed up to my house trying to serve
Starting point is 02:57:41 based on what she had going on. She wanted to have due depositions with Drake. She wanted to do with Joe Budden. She wanted to do with me. She wanted to do with everybody. And it was basically trying to prove that Tory Lane's is the reason why people don't believe Meg is a liar. After a whopping, just to tell you how I got to that figure of,
Starting point is 02:58:07 you know, at least a million. Well, she hired the best and most reputable, one of the most reputable firms in the state or in the United States. It's called Quinn Emanuel. It's one of the top 500 firms. It's very heavily heralded. It ironically is also a Rock Nation's firm, even though they use like the bigger partners like Alex Spiro when they're doing their bidding. But nevertheless, the billing for a firm like that could be 2,000, 2,500, 3,000. an hour. Infamously, I told you they had me do two depositions. One was a seven hour,
Starting point is 02:58:45 you know, teeth pulling session where I sat across like about like seven of their attorneys virtually and I dismantled their, you know, false equivalencies and their false narratives step by step. I pegged that out into be, pause, unpegged. At least $100,000. in lawyer fees for them. I went without a lawyer, but they wasted seven hours of my time, which is worth something to. The point is this,
Starting point is 02:59:19 they've spent over a million dollars. If in a deposition of me, it took them like $100,000 to do, they sent a mariachi band at Aidan Ross's house. They probably spent, I don't know, $50,000 on that. Like, you know, not just that, but like all the efforts to get him and question him,
Starting point is 02:59:37 and then they supposedly seized some stuff from his phone, they had to like go through that. There's a lot of man hours that's getting paid by by Meg. So the idea was that it's only, it's about to teach a lesson. It's the classic Cardi B, Tasha Kaye syndrome. We got to teach you a lesson. You're running your mouth. You got to know what you say have consequences.
Starting point is 02:59:59 So she sues mainly for defamation, but there's some other stuff. Including a deep fake video that Milagro supposedly helped promote, which depicted. Meg the Stallion in an uncompromising sex position, but it wasn't her, it was actually AI. This went to court eventually after about like a year and a half, and the courts and the jury decided that Milagra was actually a member of the media, as we all are, independent or not, still a part of the media.
Starting point is 03:00:34 And because of that, defamation or a defamation claim against her, is null and void unless you send proper notice to give her time to remediate and possibly remove any possible defamatory statements, actions, or publications. Essentially, what am I saying? They spent a million dollars for the judge to tell them you should have never sued her for defamation.
Starting point is 03:01:08 You should have sent a cease synthesis. Embarrassing. This is what it is. I was late with that home. So yeah, she spent a million dollars wasting it. But who knows? This is probably funded by Rock Nation. Jay Z's bank account supposedly is infinite, so whatever.
Starting point is 03:01:33 After spending a million dollars, she was supposed to be awarded 70-something thousand. They chop off 16,000 off of it because they claim, hey, the defamation claim is null and void because you didn't send proper notice. what's left is that Milagro is held liable for promoting a deep fake pornographic image of Meg the Stallion, which is, you know, outside the realm of everybody. But the award was 40, no, no, how much is it? Was $59,000. So she spent a million and was awarded $59,000. Now, I'm a betting man.
Starting point is 03:02:19 But I do want to talk to some of my investors in here. If you invested a million dollars, wasted a shit ton of your time for damn near almost two years, and they take your million dollars and they gave you $60,000, what do you call that? Nevertheless, that wasn't all. The courts then come and say, oh, we're owed money too. We're owed $15,500.
Starting point is 03:02:46 and that, you know, they could push for it to be taken from the 59K, but they want payment immediately, which there's no clear notice that Milagra has even paid Megastallion. So what am I saying? Megastallion was one of the dumbest people in hip-hop history because she legitimately thought she could buy people to love her or believe her. When people say they believe you're a liar
Starting point is 03:03:20 based on you lying before, she rejected it, she spent a million dollars at least in legal fees, just to be told, and this is the unfortunate thing about lawsuit happy people. Here's who got paid. The law firm got a million dollars.
Starting point is 03:03:38 The court at least is going to get $16,000. We don't even know if Milagra will actually send the check to Meg the Stallion for the supposed was it 59,000. So again, she just paid a million 1,500, no, a million, 15,500, at least with not even a moral victory in this case.
Starting point is 03:04:10 Meg the Stallion is what we call a Nimwit, an absolute retard. If you wanted to waste a million dollars, Meg, you could have hollered that big act. I could have spent it at the casino with offset. Okay. Stupid shit, man. Let's keep it going. Drake has liked this picture or, you know, this video. After news that came out about the current,
Starting point is 03:04:49 so news came out about the Epstein documents. And Jay-Z's name is mentioned in there along with Pusha-T. I'll, you know, be fair here and say that did come out via a unsubstantiated it was a hotline tip from a random person but nevertheless it was included because that's what happened when they set up with a hotline.
Starting point is 03:05:19 People are reminiscent back to Jay Prince telling Drake during the battle with him and Pusha T you know, don't release that song. According to Jay Prince, the song was more than just a rap disc song and it could end careers and hurt families. We've always wondered what that song got to do with. What the fuck did Drake find out?
Starting point is 03:05:46 Let's play the clip of this is an old interview, but it talked about why Drake never dropped his diss song, responding to the story of added on. But over the weekend, you were trending because you said, paraphrasing, you said that you talk with Drake and you told him to no longer respond to Pusher T. Right. Right, because after Puscher put out the last joint
Starting point is 03:06:09 that was the story of the adedon you feel like it crossed the line yeah yeah definitely I feel like it crossed the line where music was concerned you know what I mean the disrespect for his mother disrespect for his father for 40 you know what I mean
Starting point is 03:06:27 a man is dying you know I know I know these people so I felt I felt that there was totally disrespectful and I couldn't you know after even speaking with Kanye yeah I mean because I spoke with the brother and he didn't want this you know what I mean and I saw this going in a place that I feel would have ended his career if Drake would have put out the song that he had on him
Starting point is 03:06:52 and definitely would have hurt families and you know what I mean and we're not we're not in it for that you know that's that's not great character I ain't you know we're not in business to to tear our brother fellow man now you know to that extent but over the weekend you were Okay, so Drake liked this post And it's now being alluded to by people who You know, was always wondering what the hell is in that song I mean, I've always wondered I wanted to know what the hell Drake said about this guy that I was so
Starting point is 03:07:26 Crazy that you know Look like outside forces probably encouraging not to put it out I've never really got honestly a a real answer to that. And by the way, clearly they've kept this close to the chest. There's been so many things leaked. We have never gotten the leak of this.
Starting point is 03:07:48 How come? From the people who have heard it, though, they've never gotten to details with me, but they've told me this is scathing. This would be bad. And that's as much as I've ever heard about it. But Drake liking this kind of brings up now a little bit and puts light to maybe Drake didn't know about
Starting point is 03:08:03 what's being alleged of push a T and Jay-Z. in this Epstein doc. Who knows? Who knows? Right? Now I kind of want to hear the song. I really, I want to hear the song, you know, obviously the push of tea
Starting point is 03:08:25 and the Kendricks of the world. I think they have done well in battle. Not that they weren't lyricists or good rappers, but they have came with some narratives or storytelling or information or tea that has been so captivating that people you know
Starting point is 03:08:43 it kind of stops the conversation so I'm wondering what the hell did Drake have and I always thought that you know this was a fatal flaw of Drake because he was drawing lines in the sand
Starting point is 03:08:59 or he was looking at moral lines saying I can't do that nah I can't oh man that's gonna fuck up his family that that which I would think wouldn't be there because Drake is a guy who seemingly loves bringing up people's baby moms. I would think Drake don't have that line.
Starting point is 03:09:15 But supposedly Drake was stopping himself. But I don't think it was because of push of tea. I think Drake was always trying to keep it clean. Keep in mind, he came off the battle with Meek in 2015 where, you know, like, the worst things he said about Meek, you know, it's kind of like child's play. You're getting body biased singing, nigger. Is that a world tour or your girl tour? And it wasn't anything like, hey, you fuck kids. Right?
Starting point is 03:09:45 Like, you know, Kendrick just just kicks the door open. He's like, yo, you're a pedophile, right? Which is like, wait, how do you answer to that one? When you think about how Drake was battling, like, somehow he did have like this barometer of, I'm not going to say things that would be of a certain level. It's then for me to believe that or at least anticipate or, you know, assume. maybe what maybe he was so upset at this push-a-tee-kaye angle that he created a song like that and the reason why I said fatal flaw is if they talk about the song as I keep hearing
Starting point is 03:10:26 and be talking about would end the nigger would do this put it out but he never put it out he never put it out and I think it's because he had a moral line that he wasn't willing to cross which I think, you know, he probably looks at Kendrick to say Kendrick had no problem crossing it because Kendrick was just trying to win the rap battle, right? Okay. Okay. All right, cool. So 50 Cent is back on the bumper of Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Starting point is 03:11:13 And, you know, the story came out via TMZ saying Floyd Mayweather Jr. Sue in Showtime. He claims they cheated him out of millions and 50 said, oh, nah, nigger. Don't start crying out, champ, after they beat you out. out of 320 million. You are a dumbass nigger. I told you let me read the contract. Now, lace up. You got a little good fight. Mike, then maybe we could get Bud to beat your ass for some big money. And I've always thought it's a really odd relationship. I love 50, but I think 50's always a little bit jealous of Floyd. I don't think Floyd's the best, you know, I don't think he's
Starting point is 03:11:40 the smartest guy personally, or I think he's the smartest with money. But what I do believe is that I think 50, especially even when, you know, they fell out about, there was like this boxing company was called Team Money Team or, no, it was, it was something else that they had a boxing, like, venture, but Floyd went to jail and 50 kind of took it over, and then when Floyd kind of got out, he wanted nothing to do with it. I believe that 50 kind of wanted to be like an Al-Haman type of guy for Floyd. And he realized that he probably was smarter than Floyd when it comes to money and even business. And for whatever reason, you know, Floyd may not be that smart, but he didn't want nobody in his pocket.
Starting point is 03:12:29 And when 50 is like, I'll read your contracts up for you. Like, you're respectfully 50. Like, this is why he probably pays five entertainment attorneys. Yeah. Let's say he can't read. That's their job to read for him. And they're actually looking out for their interest. So when I hear when 50 says this, I think 50 just wanted parts.
Starting point is 03:12:49 And 50 probably did think he was really fucking stupid and said, hey, listen, let me go review your shit. I could get you a better deal. But I want to be in this. And I think because Floyd never really let him in, I don't think he fuck with Floyd like that. Now, let me read the story here to figure out what's going on because there's been so many speculations about Floyd Mayweather's his net worth or like what's going on with him financially and why is he doing these fights. And here we are, and I says Floyd says he's made over a billion bucks in earnings over his legendary career, but the fighter claims all the money didn't make it to his bank account. Now he's swish his showtime.
Starting point is 03:13:26 He's claiming they played a big role in his ex-manager screwing him out of hundreds of millions of dollars. Ooh, so it was an ex-manager. Okay. The lawsuit filed by Floyd in California is obtained by Tim Z Sports. He says that he's gunning to recover hundreds of millions of dollars in misappropriated funds and damages resulting from a long-run and elaborate scheme of financial fraud. Ooh, he said the scheme was perpetuated by his advisor, Al Haman. And now he's claiming Al Haman got substantial participation and aid from Showtime
Starting point is 03:13:54 and former Showtime President Stephan Espinoza. Showtime and Espinosa are listed as defendants while Haman is not, which is interesting. Now, how do you, it's like, yo, Drake, you're suing Universal and you're suing, like, the radio station for defamation, but you're not suing the guy who said it, Kendrick, right? I'm wondering why Hayman's not being signed. Floyd claims Heyman, with whom he worked with for a decade, misappropriated a significant portion of the career earn is to the tune of a whopping $340 million. And he says he did that with the help of Showtime and SE.
Starting point is 03:14:27 Mayweiler says the money is still missing and accounted for. And by the way, usually when people long, you know, when you're in that moment, right, money's coming left and coming right. You're not noticing what didn't come in yet, right? Like, you know, I remember my, you know, I'm always on top of money stuff, but I remember my, my entertainment lawyer told me, was like, hey, yo, yo, invoice complex. Because when I first worked at complex, I'm like, bro, they're giving me pennies. Fuck it. I'm getting paid outside of this for YouTube and whatever else.
Starting point is 03:15:06 I'll invoice them whatever. But it became a thing where now I have like six months of pay sitting. at complex because I have an invoice him. And, you know, my lawyer is saying, yo, invoice him, bro. You got to invoice him. Collect the money now. We don't know what's going to happen with this company. You might go out of business.
Starting point is 03:15:22 You get your money now. And it was right, of course. But when money's coming from left and right, you're not like sitting here. Like, where's my showtime check? He's probably getting like showtime checks from other fights and other fights and residuals here and back-end money there and sponsorship there. So, like, he probably didn't was sitting there like just like, when's money coming in? Now, as things have probably slowed down, things is, you know, looks probably a little bit different for Floyd.
Starting point is 03:15:48 He probably is kind of going over his book saying, man, I should have made a lot of money that year. Did I, did everybody ever pay me? And he's probably looking at payments, bank accounts, stuff. Maybe he has some new accountants and they're looking like, yeah, you never got paid everything. Or, yeah, you got paid, but like it was unusually low. Like, yeah, we thought you were going to get like 70 million. They only wired 20. Like, and maybe it was in installments.
Starting point is 03:16:13 but there's no more other payments for this. So he's kind of going back around and figure out what happened. So in the suit, he references one of his biggest fights, including Manny Packy on Connor McGregor, alleged Showtime in Espinosa, effectively delivered money owed to Floyd directly to Haman. See, that's one thing. That's what I was telling you about managers.
Starting point is 03:16:30 I don't let nobody touch my money. It's coming to me. You feel what I'm saying? I don't want to accuse any manager of anything, but after a while the manager started thinking he's the guy too. You know? So the manager, you know, he gets the money, and then the man, like, especially the manager gets the money.
Starting point is 03:16:45 Really, you should pay your manager. But sometimes managers put it in the contract that they get paid and then they pay you. Why? Because sometimes artists or like fighters or whatever, they don't like having to cut their money up, right? They're like, when they get their money, it's just time to spend. They don't like, all right, well, this came in, let me give you this, let me give you this, let me give you this. So a lot of managers put it in where Showtime just paid. them and then they give Floyd whatever he's going to get.
Starting point is 03:17:16 So they're saying that Showtime paid Hayman by sending accounts essentially controlled by Heyman. So or, okay, so this is a little bit different. So it looked like when they would give their payment information, they would give probably like these joint business accounts that were really controlled by Heyman because maybe Floyd weren't looking into these accounts. And essentially, Heyman was really getting all the money for Floyd. It's a years later, the undefeated box just switched managers and his new team is asking to see the books, which Floyd claims the networks told him were lost in a flood and weren't accessible. That's crazy.
Starting point is 03:17:46 Imagine Showtime say their books was lost in a flood. Stop it. Come on, man. Y'all use QuickBooks like Quicken or something of the sort that definitely has the financial stop plan. He's suiting Showtime and Espinoza for Aiden and Abedon, breach of fiduciary duty, civil conspiracy into commit fraud and conversion of unjust rich.
Starting point is 03:18:06 He, in addition to the 340 million Nazis, He's also seeking punitive damages. Reached out for comment made where there's attorney. Bob Simeini predicted victory, saying Floyd's one of the biggest box, biggest pay-per-view draws. He generated hundreds of millions of dollars for showtime. Now he takes the fight to the courtroom to recover what's rightfully earned. Retiring at 50 and 0, he will go into a distance in a courtroom,
Starting point is 03:18:28 just like he has already in the ring. Yeah. I don't want to use this story to say that Floyd's broken unlike that, but I think Floyd's definitely taking a different stock. on his accounts and also on his career that he realizes he fucked up a little bit and probably, you know, I'm actually surprised to see him sue Al-Haman. Or not Sue, but alleged Al-Haman, you know, that's going to be the showtime's biggest thing. They're going to be like, yo, we did pay you.
Starting point is 03:18:58 Al-Haman got it. Go get it from Al-Haman. Hey, man. See, everything is complimentary. We haven't heard him. See, 11 years ago, he's one of the best men I met. a man of his word. Yeah, there is not much that kind of, yeah.
Starting point is 03:19:31 Yeah, we can't see anything negative about Al-Haman. Al-Haman. What's going on? That's not Al-Haman. Is this something? Maybe he doesn't have Instagram. Rob by your man's. That's kind of crazy.
Starting point is 03:20:15 Here's somebody else vowsing for Al-Haman. Can't tell me nothing about Al-Haman. Always took care of us fighters. the casualties of war his job. Yes. That he was clowning these networks.
Starting point is 03:20:25 He was out negotiating the networks to the point where they were giving you an inferior product because his fighters were getting overpaid for lesser fights.
Starting point is 03:20:32 We weren't getting overpaid. I'm happy for every dollar made. Freddie Hernandez. Yeah, right, right. This is the golden child of Alhameh right here. But it is admirable
Starting point is 03:20:42 that Al Hamon not only did his job so well but was helping fighters get rich while he was doing it. He was. That's pretty ironic compared to what we just read, right? One of the fighters who would imagine he helped get the richest is Floyd. Now, Floyd is claiming that he defrauded amount of money.
Starting point is 03:20:59 Two statements don't make sense. Something got to give. He created a climate where fighters started to begin to believe that they were worth more money. I don't mean to me. You're worth all the money in the world to me, the fighters. But I mean to the marketplace than they actually were. And so now it became difficult to make fights. You really want us to change our mindset, right?
Starting point is 03:21:18 the fact that we were putting our health in jeopardy every time we stepped in that ring so we had to make sure to get every penny that we could like that. Every time we stepped in there. Haman was so good at his job. Yes. That he was clown.
Starting point is 03:21:32 Okay. Maxo. All right. Okay. Yeah, we'll see if Floyd actually responds to this. I do think there's something going on. You know, the true story of Floyd, I've always said I do think Floyd has made an exorbitant amount of money.
Starting point is 03:21:52 I don't necessarily think. people robbed him but there's a possibility you know sometimes when there's too many hands in a cookie jar money goes missing um but if you ever asked me i always thought that floyd's lifestyle always was one that was always beyond not necessarily his means but was one that kind of always would guarantee he would get back in a ring right not saying he couldn't live nearly the lifestyle he was living with and still saved and invested but it felt like he was one of those guys, as soon as he gets his check, he's at the nightclub, he got a section, he got a bottle, he got a new fit, you know what I mean, he's, he's, he bought a new TV, he pretty
Starting point is 03:22:33 much spent the paycheck, which means you got to show back up on Monday to work, right? And again, that's all good when you're getting active fights, you're like the biggest thing in the world. At this point, that's just not the case. And yes, he's going to do these exhibition boxing matches, including one with, with Mike Tyson soon, which I'm going to see how that turns out. But it is a long way away from that. He does have a couple of other fights. I think he could get a lot of money from it. I think that's why he probably spends like that. But if you think about it, Floyd has a jet.
Starting point is 03:22:59 Floyd has several houses. Floyd supposedly takes care of, like, you know, his family, like, you know, you know, Yahweh, whether that's his daughter, you have his sons. And he has that supposedly, I don't know if still a harem of women that are all probably financially dependent on himself. Who knows? Like, I got to think, you know, also he gambles a lot. So you never know where that comes.
Starting point is 03:23:23 kind of goes. So if you ask me, if you ask me, I do think that I don't necessarily think he's broke, but maybe he's not cash rich at the moment. And I do think he's probably taking stock at, you know, he's trimming the fat a little bit. He clearly got rid of how Al Hey, man. He probably brought some other people in. And the first thing, the first order business is, hey, before we go forward, um, in our future financially, is there any money that, do we leave on a table or we forget to collect? And I think that's why they're kind of coming back around. They can't see full books so they're like hey we'll sue you to figure out what it is because there's going to be some books if showtimes can't confirm that they paid all the money we should have got if they
Starting point is 03:24:04 believe al haman's a part of it al haman probably is not in communication with them or just isn't that forthcoming and yeah they got a foul lawsuit so they're trying to figure out what's going to happen but i do think floyd is taking internal stock before he goes forward to figure out what's the next move, right? We'll see. Is Floyd broke? I don't know. Obviously, Floyd broke is like four, it's probably like 30 times Richard and me, right? And yeah, so shout to Floyd. We will see. Chat, I am going to call it here. I know it's a little bit before four hours, but because I need to fix this sleep schedule, and I know we, impressively, we got 11,000 in here. So I hate to call it right now, but I do got to call it right now because I want to get back on stream around like 4 o'clock.
Starting point is 03:24:50 and the only way I'm going to do this is I got to go force myself to sleep more than three hours and get back on a stream around 4 or 5 o'clock type of time. So chat, I'm going to get off stream now. I will be back at 4 or 5 o'clock. We are going to reset and recalibrate
Starting point is 03:25:09 what we got going on with the stream to make sure that I'm not giving you 2 a.m. streams because I know some of you guys are tight about that. Like, yo, bro, I got shit to do. Or, bro, like, we would like it. when more people are here, or if it's just honestly, seven o'clock, bro, come on.
Starting point is 03:25:25 So I'm trying to fix that chat, and I'm not going to keep dragging the stream. So I apologize, but I will know. 100%. 100%. I will be back in about 12 hours, right? So right around like, you know, I'd say 430,
