Starting point is 00:00:00 Those technically, yeah, I'm not. If we need to listen to anything, we don't have got to wear them or anything. Anyway, Chris, how are you feeling? Yo, yo, God is great. Yeah, you're out here doing the media rounds, huh? I live out here. Oh, you do?
Starting point is 00:00:12 Okay, you stay out here. I live out here. I'm just entertaining proper conversation as all. Okay. Yeah. Why do the victory lap prematurely and do all these podcasts? Just get the word out? In true L.A. fashion,
Starting point is 00:00:23 I'm a going record quoting Kobe Bryant. Game's not finished. Hmm. Game finished? No. Not that I know. Did we win? No.
Starting point is 00:00:33 But what, you know, a lot of lawyers and a lot of situations, you don't go around doing a bunch of interviews while the case is still in limbo, right? Yeah. I think that we both understand, you and I, understand that a lie unchecked can be deemed out of the truth, depending on how many people are publicly at attention. So when you say things like,
Starting point is 00:01:00 there's no evidence. So you say things like, this is a lie or this changed or anything of the like, I think clearing up propaganda and conjecture is something that should take place. And I feel like, I feel like that was some bullshit. Really?
Starting point is 00:01:16 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that was some bullshit. Well, okay, so let's rewind. Give me like an overview of who you were and how you even ended up in this position in the first place in which you were working for stuff on digs ended up in this crazy situation.
Starting point is 00:01:32 I'm sure you never thought it was going to happen. Yeah, I never expected that to happen. Truth be told, the reason why I was working with Stefan Diggs and not working for Stefan Diggs was to alleviate things like this from potentially happening. I have worked for people in the past. I was a manager to Javante Davis for a really long time. We built that career together right after he became world champion,
Starting point is 00:01:53 breaking the ribs of Jose Pedraza. I was a part of a very, very, very, very, very, very small team at Under Armour at the global headquarters based in Baltimore and in New York that built their entertainment department. I met Jervante during that point in time. I signed Javante Davis to Under Armour to the Entertainment Department where we have a boxing department, but he was signed entertainment because it was my project. I did AACR Rocky's deal at Under Armour.
Starting point is 00:02:19 I renegotiated DeWain Johnson's deal at Under Armour. I played along the team that helps style Steph Curry for shoots and all of their top-tier talent and things. But what was your education prior to? that that even got you in a position to be able to do those kind of things. So I was in school, actually, at Frostburg State University, and I had just transferred the University of Maryland in the process where I was trying to get like an internship at Under Armour, and they wouldn't give you an internship unless you were a college kid, like actually enrolled in school. So at the time,
Starting point is 00:02:48 I was working at a country club. It's like in between me, like managing artists and trying to get my shit off. The artist gave me their ass to kiss. So I went back to the drum board and I'm like, I'm working with this kid. His mom worked at him. Under Armory. He's going home every single day. He's telling Mom about like my ideas and my POV on things and he felt like these are two people that should have a conversation. His mom ended up telling me that in order to get that Under Armour internship that she was going to try to push me for, I needed to be enrolled in college. So that next semester available, I was in school. Made Dean's List, the whole nine, go through the process of applying for an
Starting point is 00:03:20 internship. And because of some technicality, the marketing internship I was applying for and going through the process of trying to attain, it wasn't even for my graduating year. So it was like a technicality. I ended up reaching out to somebody that worked in HR, that worked in, yeah, HR, talent acquisition at Under Armour, and they ended up bringing me down for a meeting. They wanted to ask questions in regard to, like, consumer insights and shit like that. They ended up going back and creating a role for me. They had like a new department, entertainment, and I didn't know anything about it. They went back to HR. They redrafted the requirements. pulled the college degree away
Starting point is 00:03:59 and brought me in and out of thousands of applicants they elevated me because okay and I know this isn't like the main thing that's viral but I'm interested in that because Under Armour is kind of like I'm not super deep in the whole sports
Starting point is 00:04:12 side of things right but they like are not historically like the most fashion forward brand in comparison to like a Nike or an Adidas or whatever so then I did think it was interesting a few years ago and I think it was an was it announced right after Rocky beat his
Starting point is 00:04:27 a case for shooting at home here or was it way before that i think it was before that you know good i think they announced him as like a ray ban uh creative director after he beat his case for shooting at home me but like that just always stood out to me a lot that like that must have been many many many many millions of dollars to get rocky on board and it's such an interesting statement by underarmament because that's very much them saying like hey we can do fashion too we got this guy who's basically known as a fashion guy yeah the thing about it is at that point in time time when I did the Rocky deal, Rocky wanted to go on and create, much like how you reference the Ray Band situation, the Rayban situation is special because they actually backed up and
Starting point is 00:05:08 allowed a creative to create. Shout out to Rocky, too, by the way, but they allowed a creative to create. When he came to Under Armour, he was really just trying to shop ideas around like just putting a collection together and just needed the infrastructure. He was taking conversations with pretty much anybody. He would have did a deal with Skechers if they gave him the opportunity to and the bag was right and the infrastructure allowed him to be able to create the ideas from that of his brain. Rocky's mind frame, as we're doing the deal, he wanted to create the public school uniforms for all of, I'm sorry, public school gym uniforms for all of New York City, give them away for free. That would in turn create like some. Goodwill.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Yeah, goodwill. Positive marketing. Positive marketing. But at the same token, give these kids something cool that would be valuable at the hype shops. Right. So if you don't have a couple dollars in your pocket, you get in this free uniform designed by ASAP Rocky. That's an amazing idea. Give it to every public school kid in that of New York City.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Because if you're under Armour, what do you need? You need young-ass kids to think that your shit is cool. Correct. And by way of what he was already invested in via V-Lone, they had already did the work and realizing that, hey, if we give this shit away for free, we know what it can become. Bari tells a story about how in the early V-Lone days of doing, I'm pretty sure you're familiar with V-Lone. they gave all of the t-shirts away for everybody to wear in like this photo shoot and you were supposed to give your ID as collateral and exchange back your ID to give the T-shirt back at the end of the shoot. Kids kept the shirts and didn't turn their IDs back in. That's how like how they revered these pieces.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Just a T-shirt with a V on it. And they saw that and he wanted to do the same thing pretty much all over again. So long and short, he has this plan. He wants to go off to somewhere and create an entire. collection while he makes an album, debut the album and the collection all at the same time. Under Armour had a different thing in mind. Kanye's infamously known for an interview he did with Zane Lo, where he speaks on them trying to, I think he said Lady Gaga is the creative director of Polaroid.
Starting point is 00:07:15 No disrespect to Lady Gaga. I'm quoting Kanye right now. No disrespect to Lady Gaga, but what the fuck does she know about cameras? He said, I have a perspective on this. I should be revered in this space. allow me to actually create. He said the way that talent is looked at is, here's this water bottle.
Starting point is 00:07:30 You can make money off of this if we put your name on it. He, and just drawing a parallel to this example, he had a perspective on water. He wanted to tell you a little bit more about that H-2O that they didn't already tell you. He wanted to get his shit off. That said, they tried to slap Rocky's face on a collection that was already designed by a guy named Ben Pruis.
Starting point is 00:07:52 I'm sorry, by Tim Coppins, rather. Ben Proust was the head of the department. Tim Coppins, who studied under Ralph Lauren and basically just put Rocky's face on it. Rocky didn't want to do that. So we ended up giving him about $3 million that I seen leave the corporate account. And at that point in time, it felt like it left my personal account. The way I'm looking at it from just the perspective of having to manage something that I'm responsible for. So when I seen that wire go out and now he buys a Ferrari and all of my meetings on the East Coast get pushed to that of the back end
Starting point is 00:08:21 because he's on West Coast time and he wakes up at. 12 to 3. Now I'm having conversations at 6 p.m. My time just because this guy got the money and now we have to move everything around him. I looked at that from my POV and said, I'm working this shit wrong. Then when I did the Dravante's situation,
Starting point is 00:08:37 it made me also look at things from the perspective of, okay, I see what's going on in the realm of like praying on the ignorance of talent. So much so that they had to look at me, under Armour, look at me and say, don't forget what side of the negotiation table you're working on. And I seen Jervante, a kid from the same city as me born and
Starting point is 00:08:53 raised Baltimore, Maryland being exploited in a form of fashion that was praying on his ignorance. So I said, you know what, Holmes, we're going to do it this way. And that's exactly what we started doing. So when I left the company back in 2018, I started managing Durante Davis in totality. How does that end that you then end up working for Stefan Diggs? By way of creative efforts and people being able to attach what I was doing creatively to that of what was noticed differently in the realm of Giovante Davis by way of me being involved, people started connecting the dots and saying, shit, if you get him, Chris, you can do this, that type thing. So specifically one, one press conference outfit, Javante was prepping a fight, I want to say, Riley Romero, and I have a line.
Starting point is 00:09:37 It's called Static Passion. I had did an entire Static Passion look for Javent Davis' press conference in New York. He wore a static passion fitting, were static passion carpenters. I sourced Burberry Supreme Tea for him to wear. I got him a St. Michael. reversible jacket from that of Justin Reed. Shout to Justin Reed. I think he wore fat lace, Rick Owens, Ramones. No, no, not fat lace. Just Rick Owens Ramones. And he might have wore a St. Laurent sock. Pull that outfit up if you think I'm bullshit. But I think I'm recalling it correctly. But he wore that outfit and Diggs ended up taking an appreciation to it. A week later, I'm back in L.A. roughly a week later, I'm back in L.A. I had a friend who was a
Starting point is 00:10:19 DJ. He had a friend, Diggs had a friend who was a photographer. We're all from the same area. Diggs from like PG County, Maryland. We from Baltimore, like 45 minutes apart, two different perspectives in mind as far as worlds go. Right. And anybody from that area can attest it at. But with the area being so close-knit, he was already paying attention to what I was doing. And he was signed to the football department while I was at Under Armour. Giovante Davis, much like I said, was signed to the entertainment department, despite the fact that Under Armour had a boxing department.
Starting point is 00:10:46 So he was really my project. And I don't know if Diggs was taking a liking of that from that point in time. but the way things currently set, that's how it came to life. But long and short, that mutual friend that he had and mutual friend that I had ended up finding a way to get us together at a store on Beverly Boulevard, popularly known as Gallery Department. And we sat in their showroom and basically treated it like a living room and had dialogue for probably like two hours where we just talked through pretty much everything
Starting point is 00:11:14 that he had going on in his mind creatively, things that I was working on, thing that I already worked on in the past. And I know he had a reverence for that specific look I did for G just because he said, I knew he didn't do this shit itself. Like, who did that? And he showed me a photo. And I'm like, no, I put that together. I did that.
Starting point is 00:11:29 And then we started building for me. So like, to you working at Under Armour is a giant corporation. And then you're one of the people working there. But through you, you can put together moves and plays that would basically like make them look like they're a lot more sophisticated. Were you trying to take that same mentality? and then like apply that to a boxer or a football player because like a lot of these people, you know, pro athletes,
Starting point is 00:11:55 they're just consumed with doing the sport all the time. And then to the public, they just see these guys and if they see the dude in a dope outfit, they think, oh, that guy's got crazy sense of fashion. And a lot of times that's just absolutely not the case. They got people on the back end or, you know, if a football player puts together like a crazy brand collaboration, people think that like, oh, he just sat in a boardroom
Starting point is 00:12:18 with the team from, that company like did you at a certain point and realize like the same things i'm doing for under armor i can just do that on an individual level with these athletes well prior to my time at under armor i was already like i said when i talked about that stint that i worked at a country club and stuff like that i was already managing talent i was in waleigh's dressing room when i was 14 13 years old on stage at shows like shout out to uh le gregg harrison g mogul shout out to Muhammad Hill, Mo Hill, those guys were, I guess, the strategist around Wale at the time. And they always kept me close.
Starting point is 00:12:54 They always tapped my shoulder. And with that said, I had been privy to all of these. When I got my refund check at Stevenson University, I brought Big Sean to Baltimore as far as like just putting on shows. And at that time, I had an artist. I had him open up. We drove Big Sean around in suburban that we had rented on our own. Like I was bringing him cheesecake fact.
Starting point is 00:13:16 for the writer and shit like that personally because it was just such a small operation just trying to flip a couple dollars from my refund check. That said, I had already been working in that space from the POB of like trying to become a talent manager prior to me having a budget at Under Armour. What gave me a different breath of fresh air was when I got to the corporate world of things and I learned that side of it. And when I learned that side of it and I put at Under Armour.com after C Griffith, everybody started responding. And that little snoddy-nosed kid that was trying to pitch you an artist, whether it'd be Mick Mills, Sean, Jay Cole, Walee, any of these people, Rick Ross, any of these people, now I can get you a deal if you had enough. I can put some money in your pocket if you had enough. I can bring French Montana out to San Francisco for Curry 3 release party and put however many thousands of dollars in this pocket. People who otherwise wouldn't give a fuck about you, once they start to see you as the in-between between potential corporate endorsements, all of a sudden, you're the dude to suck up to it. Yeah, it changed everything. And my big homies also told me,
Starting point is 00:14:20 oh, man, anybody respond to you with that at underarmor.com at the end of your email. First of all, second of all, even if you look at the fruit in which is still bearing as we currently speak by way of the tree I planted it in Under Armour, they just did a show at Paris Fashion Week 424. Guillermo, who owns 424 and designs 424 on Fairfax. Which hasn't that been gone for a long time?
Starting point is 00:14:44 It's been, I remember. Back in the down, yeah. Yeah, but he definitely still operates within the realm of designing for 424 and just did some really, really, really cool jackets at Under Armour, amongst some other things. But they still pulling from that of the tree that we planted when I was there. The reason that Rocky entered conversation initiated was by way of Guillermo. Like, they're still pulling from that as we currently speak. The reason that Playboy Cardi is flirting around the realm of like doing a deal with Under Armour now and wearing product and things like that, he's signed to Aug or was signed to Aug.
Starting point is 00:15:15 August, Rocky's creative company for those who don't know. So they're still pulling from that. When I left the company, they asked me to sign like some paperwork that would allow me to come back
Starting point is 00:15:28 and pick up my belongings and turning my laptop and all of the above. And I did not do that because I was like, I'm not turning over my intellectual property to you guys. Fuck that.
Starting point is 00:15:36 And that's what I did. I kept all my shit. But in turn, they kept like my notebooks and things that were already at my desk. When you work in corporate, a lot of times you leave things at your desk.
Starting point is 00:15:45 because you spent so much time there. And me being very junior at the company, and even when I did elevate from within, I still was spending much more time there than I was at home. Or even if I was traveling for work, I'm traveling on their dime and on their time. So a lot of my time was spent on Under Armour business more so than it was at home.
Starting point is 00:16:03 So a lot of the things that were still sitting in that notebook, even as you date back to Virgil creating at Nike and things like that, when the 10 came out, I was run the 10 in regard to Virgil's initial collection. at Nike, which was 10 different silhouettes that he put his mark on. At that point in time, I was running into Virgil, having conversations with Virgil, when I were running to him and Soho and things like that. But I didn't know he was cooking up all of that. He just told me that he was already invested within the space and he couldn't handle certain conversations because it'd be a conflict of, couldn't have certain conversations. It'd be a
Starting point is 00:16:33 conflict of interest. At that point in time, I started having conversations with Jerry Lorenzo. Another branch from the Kanye tree, all respected Jerry and what he's created. But at that point in time, I'm having conversations with Jerry one to one. At this point in time, Under Armour has unanimous MVP, Stefan Curry, Cam Newton, who's the MVP, dabbing his way through the Super Bowl, and we licensed Migos' is looking at my dab throughout that POV, and we'll get to the Migos conversation shortly there, and we can draw a segue. We had Bryce Harper in the MLB world.
Starting point is 00:17:04 We had Jordan Spee, killing it on tour, and that said, at that point in time, Jerry, of Fear of God, took a disliking to that of his son's favorite athlete, And I'm pumping him with the Curry's. So when he's playing basketball, I'm pumping him with the Bryce Harper Cleats when his kids playing baseball. And I was trying to get product on Jerry just to kind of like spread my seating list. And he's like, man, I don't want any product.
Starting point is 00:17:27 I guessed his size and still sent shit anyway. But he's like, man, I don't want any product. I want to creative direct all things Curry. He's getting laughed out as the current unanimous MVP back to back. And he's looked at as corny. I got fear of God. He's a man of God. Let's connect this thing up.
Starting point is 00:17:45 At this point in time, Under Armour had already missed on boost technology that came to them before it went to Adidas. Already missed on Yeezy because Kevin Plank told Kanye no and Adidas said yes and we look at what that became. And to that I say they had already had so many misses. The reason I was able to elevate so quickly within the company, much like how you referenced the fact that they don't have a presence in that space, was because I kept telling them the right thing to do. And by way of, corporates much like the MBA in the sense that if I've invested this much money and this. player, it doesn't matter if you're better, I paid him. So I'm going to use him. And what happened with me was they had so many other people, they were paying more money, but I'm the little snoddy
Starting point is 00:18:25 nose rookie in the corner telling you, and I don't have a corporate filter because I didn't come through the traditional tree. I don't, I didn't climb the traditional ladder. So my bullshit meter strong. And I'm telling them exactly what's going to work, what's not going to work, what's going get pushed back was not, was inauthentic and how it seems contrived, and what's not, and I just started wilding. When Under Armour was having conversations around trying to acquire Supreme and James Jebby is coming to the office, Jabbiah, how have you pronounced his last name, I'm tattooing the Supreme logo on my skin. So when we take this meeting, I look like somebody who can resonate with you. This tattoo reads, the fear of God and supreme magnitude will take me
Starting point is 00:19:01 to the highest of heights, for under his armor, I am sealed. You see the Under Armour logo, you see the Fear of God logo, you see the Supreme logo. All that's intentional. Drake at a point in time was leaving Jordan, and in order for him to have a point, well, now you have to knock the situation, and that's how we get there. But this is the time where he thought about doing the deal with Adidas
Starting point is 00:19:18 that he talked about. Yes, Adadon, and the whole thing. Correct. He was having conversations with everybody, and Future of Prince, his manager at the time came to Baltimore, sat with our team and Dre Wright, and I believe his name is Chris Stone. They call him Stoney all of the above,
Starting point is 00:19:34 and they take this giant meeting with Future the Prince in regard to potentially trying to get Drake on base and Steph wanted to really own the conversation in totality because he didn't want anybody to F it up. But that said, it felt like they were more leveraging the playing field in order to go back to Nike and get a bigger and better deal, which is likely what potentially happened. But he really was getting frustrated.
Starting point is 00:19:55 All respect to Michael and Drake's relationship with Michael, Drake was getting frustrated with doing these color ways. I think we remember like the OVO-T tan, white-black, 12 white black like and he's like i'm i'm the biggest rapper and you got conier over here and he got his whole fucking line with easy i can't just be a jordan spokesperson correct and yeah had like a 200 million dollar marketing budget and all of the shit in the media is like look at what a fashion genius conier is he's becoming a billionaire off this clothing shit and as much as i feel like drake has always kind of gone out of his way to avoid doing too much shit outside of music yeah you know i feel like
Starting point is 00:20:31 he's turned down a lot of opportunities that he could obviously be doing things in acting and all kinds of shit. I feel like he keeps it music for the most part. But at a certain point, music and fashion are so intertwined that it's hard not to have your foot in that if you're Drake, you know? Yeah. If the camera's good, it's going to highlight you away. It's best that you show up properly, kid it, you know what I mean? And he and I would have those conversations where I was telling him he wasn't getting a proper credit in the world of fashion the way he deserved. Like, I'm looking at things from my actual stylist POV and I'm seeing what he's putting together. And I got a lot of fucking reverence for a guy on his team
Starting point is 00:21:02 named OVO Nico. Nico might be one of the best dressed men in all of the world from my POV. And to see Nico and what he was like putting on Drake's radar and now he has a couple different people. He got the 222 Jew girl that helps him out with things. Reference her in the song, high fives.
Starting point is 00:21:19 He's got Kai Bentley who's like, tastemaker used to be a YouTuber, has a line called Strawberry. His dad is like Iron Chef Souser Lee. That said his taste level is really fucking high. So, But things that Drake is like referencing and mentioning, the world might not be paying attention the way they're supposed to.
Starting point is 00:21:36 But me as like a tastemaker and a stylist, I'm looking at these things from a fine-tooth comb and saying, bro, you're doing it right. It might not show up the way they think is showing up, but this shit's showing up. So do you leave all that at a certain point to work exclusive with stuff on days or he's just like one of the clients that you were working with? The reason I would not work for him was because I had just come out of the Giovante situation and even though I wasn't on paper with Giovante, the way he runs his operations. and the type of person that he is coming from the group home and things like that,
Starting point is 00:22:04 he always feels like whatever is good for him or whatever is close to him, if they get the ability to leave him, they'll leave. And that he operates from that within. And all love to him and his situation currently. But yeah, that's just what's in them. The more you work in business, and it might come off as kind of problematic to some people, but you start to realize that certain people who come from troubled backgrounds, a lot of times that can lend them.
Starting point is 00:22:31 to having destructive ideas about how to do business because they maybe have walls up around working with people. And that's why if you are gonna work with somebody who's like from the hood or whatever, a lot of times you have to really be willing to talk them through situations because they just have scarcity ideas built into their mind that keep them from being able to necessarily
Starting point is 00:22:54 be as good as they could be. Exactly. And for G specifically, I was like his translator. because I understood, like I'm not, I've been told I'm articulate, right? There's certain people who are articulate, they weaponize that intellect. They weaponize that ability to use it against you with the tricky words and shit like that. I'm not that type of person. I can have a common, and I see you, you probably operate very similarly to that
Starting point is 00:23:19 because I see you have conversations with like Crip Mac and other than you guys. All types of shit. You got code switching. Correct. And for me, it's more like a bridge of understanding. Like that ability to be a translator between that or. of a boardroom of guys that don't understand what the fuck of aug is
Starting point is 00:23:35 to that of actually smoking a blunt with Cardi, there's value in that. You know what I mean? There's value in that. And with that said, I put that value to work. I made that value create life for me.
Starting point is 00:23:49 What are you talking about? How you started working with Stefan primarily. Was that exclusive at a certain point? Or do you have to leave your other commitments to do that deal? He kept, well, Javante was really upset about it. And it didn't really last very long without him getting upset about it. And then shortly thereafter, he had got arrested and had to go away for a little bit.
Starting point is 00:24:09 And it's crazy because the day that I left Diggs's house on the 22nd of May in 2023, my intention, prior to any incident going down, allegedly, I was supposed to go to visit Jervante who had just came home on probation that same day. But when I left, I didn't even have shoes on my feet or any of my belongings and I'm effed up mentally and had just been drugged and things like that. In my mind, I'm like, man, I'm not going to see the Brosky like this. I can't do it. And he treated it like, oh, no, you can go hang out with him all weekend and play in the game. But I come home, you only come see me type thing. So it was frustrating in that regard. But to your point about working with Stefan exclusively, the reason why I never wanted to work with him exclusively was because I didn't
Starting point is 00:24:55 want to be under the thumb. I didn't want that control over me. And I knew that I could still accomplish what I wanted to accomplish and what he wanted to be accomplished without having to sign anything official on paperwork. Another frustrating thing about it, I'm going to let you get to thought up. Initially, when we had dialogue, he was trying to pull his brother DeRez off payroll, frustrated with the way that he was working in order to shift the budget. Now, granted, I don't know if the numbers would have been identical, but I was as a sibling, I have two brothers and two sisters, as a sibling one, two as a businessman and just a guy in general, I'm not getting in between two men and what they got going on, one, two.
Starting point is 00:25:34 I'm not getting in between two brothers or taking food off a man's plate trying to feed three kids just for me to be inserted into a situation. I don't want that. All money and good money. So, but the idea was the stuff I basically wanted to bring you in to help style him slash work with corporations on partnerships and all these type of endorsements that he's got going on, and stuff like that, just to basically, like, make his public image cool. I was going to oversee all collaborations. I would continue styling and doing personal shopping for him.
Starting point is 00:26:06 And myself and his brother, Dorez, were in a group message at that point in time getting work done. And we were in a group message to get work done. But the way he even spoke to his brother, pardon me. Like, as a man, I could kind of understand how that would be demeaning. Too disrespectful? I wouldn't say disrespectful, just kind of like, Chris is more knowledgeable than you in the space. When he talk, you listen.
Starting point is 00:26:36 That sentiment. Like, oh, if you can go to this meeting with him and he'll allow you to, Dorez, I want you to, he called him Marshan. He goes by Marshan. Stefan Marshan Diggs, Deggs. Two-thirds of their name are exactly the same, so I don't want to confuse you.
Starting point is 00:26:50 But Dorez typically goes by Marshan. So if I'm referring to him as Marshan in this dialogue, just know that I'm talking about. about the rest. Okay. So Marshaun is like, okay, I'll listen to you, big bro. But it's this big brother talking at the same time. Like, it's big brother talking telling you to listen to another man. If that dynamic were to be my life, I probably would be a little frustrated. I probably couldn't exist within a situation like that, but for so long, without me having like a flare-up. Because you have like two brothers and one of them has this level of expertise. But then you have
Starting point is 00:27:20 the other one who's making stupid money as an athlete. And a lot of of times when people are really good at one thing, they sort of allow that to delude them into believing that they're great at everything else, which is why you have, you know, actors and celebrities and musicians thinking that they're experts in politics and philosophy and whatnot. And I can imagine that being kind of confusing. And he's the only brother that didn't make it, well, he played a shorts in the NFL, I believe, but he was the one of the three that didn't really prosper in the NFL. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:51 And he's the middle. You got Trevon, who's the baby, who went on. to become a cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys. You have Stefan who became like an internationally known wide receiver. And you have Derezh Marshan Diggs who you don't know. You know what I mean? Yeah. It's like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:07 But so, okay, you do start working with them though. And how long does it take before you start seeing strange behavior? Within a year's time. Okay. I saw things that I typically wouldn't. From the outside and I wouldn't expect. Okay. I learned a lot more about like the intricacy.
Starting point is 00:28:25 of NFL football, preparation for a game, recovery from a game, game day activity, how you can manipulate the work week to be able to pop in and out of town and still make it to the game and things like that.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Just the intricacies of the space, that's all. Okay, but during all that, like, would you say that he was, like, really, really focused on being the best athlete that he could be, or was he a little bit more focused on girls and getting fucked up? I would say that, I quote Drake, too worried about business and fashion, you go missing in action.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Tale is all this time when it comes to professional athletes. Hello, you got to keep the main thing the main thing. Yeah. Yeah. And it would be people around him that was trying to tell him that. But at the same time, it's like, how can I, you know, make Paris Fashion Week? Right. And still be at the next postseason game.
Starting point is 00:29:27 Oh, we have a buy? can I get out of the country, get back in the country in enough time type shit? Like those eclectic interests but kind of become a distraction. And if you start telling him, hey, buddy, you're fucking up. You know, you're doing drugs. Yeah, exactly. And then you're out of there. It's like they have all the power in the world.
Starting point is 00:29:42 They could get another style as, you know, chances are they're not as committed to you as you possibly are to them because they feel like they're the king of the world. And they have no reason to listen to anybody about anything. Yeah. And to that same breath, in that same vein, I didn't come up with Stefan. I came up with Giovante Davis. Right.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Like, we've had points in our life where he slept on my couch for weeks at a time. You know what I mean? Like, after the Mayweather-McGregor fight, that was like a really big deal because his purse got shifted. Purses, which would you get paid in boxing
Starting point is 00:30:17 for those who don't know? I'm not talking about like a Chanel bag. Right. His purse had got like drastically cut in half. I think it was going to become a millionaire after that fight. And in reality, they cut it down to like six feet.
Starting point is 00:30:28 because the opponent changed. In his head, a kid like trying to like make his name, aspire to be like that of Floyd in a public eye, he had the money spent before it even came. You get in 1.2, you feel like you can budget a little differently than if you're getting 6. He had certain things in his head that was already purchased, whether that 6 was there or what that 1.2 was there.
Starting point is 00:30:47 Directly after the fight bought a wraith in like the heat of the wraith moment, Rose Royce Raith. So he spent maybe like $450 to 500 on the car. only a matter of time before that other one or 120, 150 is gone. And then shortly thereafter, he had to fight or try to fight again in order to be able to get where he had to get to. And on the undercard of the Mayweather-McRegger fight, he had also missed weight.
Starting point is 00:31:17 So it looked like he was kind of distracted or just not as focused as he was supposed to. He lost the belt on a scale. Won the fight, but still didn't maintain the belt because he didn't weigh in properly, had to pay in order for the guy to even take the fight since he was overweight.
Starting point is 00:31:31 Guy might have ended up even don't quote me on this, but I think like the guy's purse and what the penalty was was so synonymous like it damn near double. It was like double dipping it felt like. But yeah, at that point in time
Starting point is 00:31:43 it just was like the niggas was coming up trying to make our name. I don't have that dynamic with Stefan Diggs. When I met Stefan Diggs, Stefan Diggs was a Buffalo Bill catching pass
Starting point is 00:31:55 from Josh Allen. I think that's like later in his trajectory. I wasn't around for the Viking days. I didn't have interaction with him in the University in Maryland days. That's not my day one at all. So when I met him, sorry, when I met Giovante Davis, he and I grew up together. Our 20s was spent together.
Starting point is 00:32:12 And as we're working and walking into the realm of lights, camera action, a lot of those journeys and lessons that we began to garner, we experienced together. Like tricks of the trade and things like that, he and I learn together. That's why the time spent will never allow me to speak
Starting point is 00:32:29 past a certain limit when it comes to Giovante. Stefan, I don't know like that. I don't know him like that. Like, we're cool. We had a friendship. We had something that I deemed to be like a brotherhood, but he was not my day one. You know what I mean? That's basically what I'm trying to say. Okay, but so you're seeing him party and shit like that. I understand you probably don't want to go into super specifics about his lifestyle because of the lawsuit and everything. You don't want to be viewed as like slandering him or anything like that, especially about anything illegal. So for sure that makes sense But at what point does it start to feel like he's crossing boundaries
Starting point is 00:33:02 Because once you get to the storylines about him basically You know flirting with you sticking his tongue in your ear Whatever that was that's when you start to be like oh shit so That was the last day I saw him So he oh for real and what year was that? That was 2023 Okay and so at that point we're starting to look at like oh he's a closet case who's loaded off drugs and gets to the point where he can't control himself
Starting point is 00:33:26 around his heterosexual employees? Yeah, I was the homie and the employee. I wasn't really an employee. Right. He's paying me on a consistent basis. Dime here, dub there, 15, Piggle 5, that type thing. Keep working, keep doing your thing.
Starting point is 00:33:45 But at the same time, I wasn't like an actual employee. I don't know if he was trying to get that, like, leverage over me. I don't really know. But I do know that with having employees, comes power. Right. By default. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:57 And power dynamics by default. And I've seen some of the dialogue that he would have with other members of his staff that have come forward and gone to court, whether successful or unsuccessful, I've seen it. So with that said, I just didn't want to exist within a space like that. That said in that moment, that night, he took it too fucking far. Yeah. 1,000% he took it too fucking far. And the main thing I want to sit with is the fact that I have never seen him again since that day.
Starting point is 00:34:23 It ain't like I was just kicking it around. understand that there. Even when people ask me like, oh, well, why'd you go in the house if you whipped out? I got hundreds of thousands and dollars of clothes in my $1,000 suitcases that are in this crib. I'm not walking away from all of my property. As a stylist by profession, when I show up, I have more than what I need. Right. I'm carrying more back. I got a Hermes Bergen bag with me right now. It might be two outfits in this bag. If I go in this bag right now, there's another bag. In this bag. Many bags.
Starting point is 00:35:02 There's another bag. In this bag. You get what I'm saying? Like I'm coming heavy. Pause. That said, I say that to say like, I'm not like, and my suitcase don't cost $25. It's a removal XL trunk. With that said, it's like, it's like a roughly about $3,000 suitcase.
Starting point is 00:35:23 I mean, by definition, a stylist has a lot of expensive products that they, and a lot because not every client is going to want to wear the same thing. You need to have a lot of different sizes, styles. And I'm the marketing. Much like the Yates situation, I'm the marketing. I might change my outfit three times a day, especially for a loaded weekend like that, where we got a shit ton of events,
Starting point is 00:35:43 we got a game during the day, we got an after party after that, we got an after party after that. We got a party during the day. We got an after party, we got dinner, and then we got a party after that. We got the entry party. You got what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:35:53 Like, there's so many different events. Having to be a professional athlete while also having that kind of schedule sounds insane. Yeah, it's only 24 hours in a day. Yeah. And you got to stay awake. Yeah. How you do it?
Starting point is 00:36:04 Yeah, there you go. Nod your head. Even somebody who didn't really want to do drugs or who didn't view themselves as the type of person who was going to do drugs. Yeah. With that kind of schedule, you might find yourself drawn to it. Yeah, and just from the perspective of giving just some context and like allowing fans to peek behind the curtain, if you get in a car accident and bang your head, I'm glad I'm having this dialogue with you too. because you're a real person and you've been through real things. You get in a car accident, you bump your head, you have a concussion now.
Starting point is 00:36:33 Fuck the concussion. You get an accident, you bump your head. You go to the doctors. What do they prescribe you? Pain killers? Name some painkillers. I mean, if it's a weaker injury, maybe Advil, if it's more intense, maybe perkinsets. Right?
Starting point is 00:36:49 Do you know what they equate one tackle in the NFL to? You said like a car crash, right? Some shit like that, right? And that's not my analysis. That's that of like medical doctors and shit like that. If the team has doctors that make sure, it's their job to make sure that you're ready and available come game day, they will prescribe you what you say you need or what they think you need. That can breed a habit.
Starting point is 00:37:15 I know a lot of athletes, period, that have gone through injuries and become addicted to certain things just by way of spraining their ankle. Yeah. Taring an ACL. pulling a hamstring. And then that becomes the regularity moving forward. Like, that's just how it goes. In my bike riding life, I knew a shitload of people that tore their ACL, fast forward a couple of years.
Starting point is 00:37:38 They're smoking perks under a bridge, robin stores, and doing all kinds of the most fucked up shit you ever heard. Talk about it. So it's not the most faux thing for an athlete to be popping pills. Yeah. I'm not saying that is what Homeboy's doing. I'm just saying if that were to be what was happening, it wouldn't be. If you or I was to be tackled on a daily basis by 300 pound muscle bound men, we would probably
Starting point is 00:38:03 also want to take some perks. Yeah. And not unintentional, man. Like, it's their job to come get your head. To wound you. Yeah, come get you. Lay you to fuck down. Fuck your day up.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Don't be having a good game. For sure. But so, okay, so you're saying that he was basically loaded all the time. But was there an occasion prior to this one situation where he makes this very forward pass on you where you started to feel like, oh, he's. He's into me. Because I'm assuming he's not trying this kind of shit with all his other homies that are around, right?
Starting point is 00:38:31 Like maybe he views you a little differently. As someone who is like very reflective in hindsight, after that situation went down in Maryland on the 22nd of May, 2023, it made me sit, pause and just reflect about a lot of different things that went down. For instance, going shopping, we got girls around and things like that
Starting point is 00:38:56 I was always able to just go in the store get what the fuck I want no limit when you're with him when I'm with him yeah do what you want damn meanwhile his brother
Starting point is 00:39:06 the de res guy stand on the wall photographer stand on the wall the bitches shop the girls in them shop probably not the decipher bitches and girls I wanted to decipher bitches and girls
Starting point is 00:39:19 regardless other people are shopping that aren't the photographer and the brother other, Chris get to run wild. See, be good to do what he wanted to do. I never looked at it like weird because I'm also curating your fits. You got what I'm saying? I never looked at it like that.
Starting point is 00:39:33 But when I walk out the store and go to the truck, I walk out the store and go to the truck with the girls. Them guys are carrying the bags. Didn't get no shoes. Didn't get no shirt. Didn't get three outfits just now. I never looked at that like weird because at the same time, I don't feel like you paying me like actual, my actual rate, one,
Starting point is 00:39:53 And maybe that's why you're trying to compensate, overcompensate rather. Two, I don't know if you're trying to entice me to sign paperwork or just make the gig seem like it's so sweet. You don't want to go nowhere else. But I said it to say, I never really viewed it as weird until, like, the back end of things. Pause. The opposite side of things.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Right. That maybe he was trying to communicate something to you through his spending. Yeah, and at that point in time, like, the dope boys, where I'm from, we get our nails done, right? I took it a different, I took it to a different place because as much time as I spent in the hood at church in Baltimore City, I went to school in Baltimore County with white Jewish kids. So that like frat boy shit that you probably be on like type shit, not just you or not but what you would probably deem too far in regard to
Starting point is 00:40:45 like a joke right that could be quote unquote gay or some shit like that is probably different than that of yeah critmat sure like who will chase you across the room and rest of you if you say something gay to him. That's good. Like that type thing. It's just a difference. So is an element of like me turning a blind eye to that of something that I deem to be like humorous as opposed to it being serious?
Starting point is 00:41:05 He looked at me before you, you perfect beard bitch. Would I look at myself and call myself a perfect bit? When I look at you and call you a perfect bit bit, I never going to call you a beer perfect. But I recall, but when I was in college, I had a roommate who would make gay jokes so much to the point where one day I just blew up on him and I was like, bro. you got to stop saying that shit. You got to stop doing the nut tap, the butt grab, all this. I'm like, I'm cool with like some gay jokes or whatever.
Starting point is 00:41:31 If people want to mess around with that, that's cool. But you're overdoing it. It's weirding me out. Me and him, like, he really kind of stopped coming around after that. He started, like, sleeping at his girlfriend's house or whatever. I talked to somebody a couple years later. They told me, boom, he's a stripper in Rhode Island. I'm like, I fucking knew it.
Starting point is 00:41:47 I knew there was something up with that guy. And the second things got too far from me, I pulled the plug. Yeah. That's what I'm trying to relay. Like, it wasn't a situation where, and people run with the narrative, and the reason I'm not affected by like a slideshow being posted and there being a shit ton of comments talking about, oh, they were lovers and this, that, and the third.
Starting point is 00:42:07 If I know for a fact, no man will ever come forward saying, hey, I've been with Chris Blake, and I know for a fact I've never been with a man, why would that bother me? I don't care. If I looked at you and called you black, would it bother you? It's a little confusing, but yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:42:23 No, but I feel like, okay, our view... If you call Stefan Diggs broke, you think it to make him mad? Right. Is he broke? I would assume no. My point. Although I would assume he's losing money at a pretty drastic rate, given all these women he's apparently buying clothes for it, stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:42:36 But, yo, my... So my question, or the thing is, though, is that, like, as men, we kind of have this, like, thing built into our head that, like, guys who are really in the fashion are probably gay, just because, like, gay men, as far as fashion goes, like, you know, if you ever watch, like, uh, uh, uh, project run. runway or whatever. If there's a couple guys on each season of Project Runway, they're almost certainly gay.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Like historically, I haven't watched it in like 15 years. No, but it's a simple man. Yeah. And so it is like, you know, if we were to bring LA's top 200 male stylists into the room.
Starting point is 00:43:09 Probably be a plethora of gig. It would be probably 98% gay, I'm going to assume. Yeah. And, you know, like just guys pose and taking photos in a fucking, you know,
Starting point is 00:43:17 designer stores and stuff like that. I can understand how people and make that assumption. But you never, had any kind of intentions like that or you never felt like he he felt that way towards you until it went too far i would have left a long time ago right and it's been times like even at paris i mean at new york fashion week he had a sweet mind you my mom is in one room helping me with my son who was with me at that point in time i got my lady in another room but when i want to go to sleep and things
Starting point is 00:43:42 like that um and i think to myself like yeah i do everything i was supposed to do in a situation like that yet and still I'm in his room which is like a giant suite for us to have like meetings and him to have his like sleeping quarters and all of the above and he's probably entertaining far more people than I am in my space and a hotel only had but so many suites but we're in Soho and this guy I remember dozing off on the couch and I wake up and sitting in front of me as him and his underwear just staring at me oh shit yeah but in my mind I'm not deeming that like I thought it was a little off that I woke up in He's just looking at me, but in reality, I said, oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:44:24 Just like that. I woke up. Do you think he's doing something else? No, I just think he's sitting there. I don't know if he's waiting for me to leave. I don't know, whatever the fuck. But I do know I was just asleep. And I do know I just woke up.
Starting point is 00:44:34 Because, okay, this is the thing. As I was listening to you, tell your story on another podcast. Actually, I was listening to like a snippet from the academics one that he played on stream. But like, it's like, it was so hard for me to even put myself in this mentality or to imagine what it would be like. because as dudes, you just go through life, just not even considering the possibility that one of your homies could be gay. And listen, I'm totally cool with gay people,
Starting point is 00:45:00 but I just haven't really been through that of like, oh, this is my good friend, but then later down the road, I figure out, like, oh, he's trying to fuck me. Like, I just can't even imagine. I would shoot them every plausible amount of bail before I was actually like, damn, he's trying to fuck me. Like, that just wouldn't, it would take so long.
Starting point is 00:45:19 for that to creep into my mind. Yo, bro, I'm so glad I'm talking to a white guy. Because white people understand this shit. Right. Black people, and I said this with love and respect as a black man. According to Dr. Umar, I'm just black. So we just want to keep this thing I want to piss him off. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:36 As a black man in living in black culture, it's not received the way you just said it. Like the slightest little bit of homo anything makes them like cringe. Yeah. Me, I'm not like that. I don't give a fuck. I laugh at Will Ferrell. I laugh at stepbrothers. I put my nut sack on your drum set.
Starting point is 00:45:51 You know what I mean? Like, that's where I come from. I laugh at Louis C.K. I think all that shit is funny. Right. I think actual sexual, homosexual activity makes you a homosexual. Yeah. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:46:04 Yeah. That's not where my mind is going when somebody's nudging my shoulder or something along those lines. Now, the second you decide to release yourself and you're rock, that's a problem. You've probably, I don't know if you played sports or whatever, but even in the locker room. There's always that guy that like is a little too comfortable leaving his underwear off right for too long. And I recall that being more of a thing like when I was really young. When I think about it as an adult, yeah, I don't think I've seen any of my friends' dicks at all. At all. At all. Like tighten up, shan't what you know? Maybe like somehow you could like
Starting point is 00:46:40 accidentally see like a sexual scenario going down and then you see it or whatever. But like as far as pulling your dick out, high school, yes. That was like kind of like a thing that exists. in the late 90s, but as far as being an adult, yeah, pulling your dick out, especially when it's hard. I mean, that's some weird shit. That's a no-go. And it's just us. It's a tight space. Why is your dick hard?
Starting point is 00:46:58 Come on, bro. And the thing is, I don't know if, I don't know if somebody got, I'm speaking because those, I don't want to, I'm litigating, you know what I mean? But even still, in a situation, not even still. That said, separate conversation. I don't know if somebody like that would take like an ED pill. Yeah. And now all of a sudden you just are.
Starting point is 00:47:19 rock. You don't, you know what I mean? Like, it's holes in the house. Maybe you are just rock. It seems like a lot of people are taking ED pills these days. But yeah, just with the boys. I mean, that's kind of strange. Speaking of the boy, dropping two Cialis in a liquid, okay. Ah. It's a drink there. Right. I mean, many, I've heard like, you know, Kodak Black songs or he's shouting out like multiple dick pills in the song. So, you know, it's pretty common at this point. Like, you know, 10 years ago, 20 years ago, if you were to say like, yeah, I'm taking dick pills, people thought it's pretty weird.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Did Joe Button literally be saying, like, yo, bro, I pop a whatever to go to fucking Starbucks. He'd be like, I pop one to go to Starbucks. Nick, don't activate me. Like, having done them, I can say, it's not like so extreme that it's like that outlandish. Like, I could totally imagine at this point of my life if I wanted to just go out and have like a freaky night on the town. Yeah. I've never taken one. Yeah, honey packs.
Starting point is 00:48:12 Not the worst idea I ever heard. Yeah. Chris Brown, new song, Haney in a Honeypack. on the latest album. But I say that to say, I don't know what this man then did, nor is it my business. It only becomes my business
Starting point is 00:48:23 when you make it my business. You know what I mean? That's even my line with homosexuals in general. I respect your space tenfold. All I ask is that you mirror that for me. That's it. I'm not here to make you uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:48:35 Please don't do that to me. I got people who I've interacted with that are openly gay. Yeah. It's no issue because you're allowed to do what you want to do with your body. Just don't do it to me. But my body, my choice.
Starting point is 00:48:45 My body, my choice. My body, my choice. Your body a choice. Don't be trying to grab up on me. Straight rights. Besides that. Yeah. We're good.
Starting point is 00:48:51 No, for sure. I like white people. I had like a lot of like, you know, cool gay acquaintances over the years, but like never, ever one. I have like one memory of being. I figured I was down south somewhere and I was in a bar and a random gay dude, like who was drunk as shit. Hit me with the like, ooh, look at you. And I was like, whoa. That's what that feels like for a gay dude to holler at you.
Starting point is 00:49:13 Yeah. I feel like I never really happened before that. But, but okay. So take us through that one day, though, where he violated. Like, what were his, like, main moves that he made? And did he seem like he was particularly loaded that day? He's having a good time. He's having a good time, for sure.
Starting point is 00:49:32 There's things happening all throughout his residence that I've seen. Girls, drugs. Just things that I've seen. But I didn't expect it to come into my world. Right. Pause. But you asked me a question about like, had I seen certain things before, have it had it tried anything like that before? We went to Coachella same year, 2023, just a, I guess Coachella is April, April, man.
Starting point is 00:49:59 Yeah, yeah, yeah, so the month before. And he asked me in the kitchen one thing, he's like, why you ain't on the shit that I got everybody else on it? And it was just like a blend of things. And I'm like, man, I can't confirm it, not that. But I'm like, man, that ain't even me. I don't really, you never really been like a big drug guy or anything? Never in my life, bro.
Starting point is 00:50:22 Okay. I didn't even smoke weed for the first time until it was legal. Oh, wow. First time I ever got high, Arbery in the Three Meagles concert, D.C., my boy Rocks. Shout out the Rocks. He passed me something. And I didn't even know I had gotten high off the weed until it was time to leave. And I'm hosting a club that night with Chubs.
Starting point is 00:50:39 And I couldn't find my car. Right. So I'm walking around outside. I'm late for the club. And it's just because I couldn't find my car. Yeah, weed is something that you kind of get you used to. It's very confusing and overwhelming when you first go for it, yeah. Never popped a pill, never snorted a line, never in my life, bro.
Starting point is 00:50:57 So do you oftentimes feel kind of out of place in these environments where everybody's doing these crazy-house drugs? No, bro, again, I spent the majority of my life in church, so we were always taught to be in the world and not of the world. Those situations didn't make me uncomfortable. I grew up, like, going door to door and the trenches of Baltimore City handing out little pamphlets that say, do you know Jesus? You know what I mean? Like I wouldn't, that wouldn't faux pot to me. First of all, second of all, I come from that area. If you ever seen the wire or anything or the like, you see junkies all over the place. I've seen drugs done like right next to me before. But at the end of the day, I have a certain level of discipline within myself and I know my limits. You know what I mean? I'm not taking it past a certain point. That's just not the way it works. Even with the weed, bro, I don't need the lout pack. I smoke the cheapest weed in the dispensary. The little $2 joint that's about a register. That's what CB on. It's a little different.
Starting point is 00:51:43 For sure. But okay, so he, what's the order of vibration? He pulls his hard dick out, and then he, like, kind of grabs you and, like, licks your ear or something? He put his tongue in my ear once we got out of the car. When we were in the car, he had, he pulled the shit out, bro. He started stroking that motherfucker, and I asked him to put it up. Uh-huh. Yeah, no, it's a no-go champ.
Starting point is 00:52:04 I can't speak but so much in regard to, like, that specific instance. But if you ask a specific question, I'm cool with answering it. Right. So it was hard. And he was trying to, did he try to, like, take your hand and, like, put it on it? Arm around my shoulder, trying to bring me closer, and I'm, like, trying to, like, move over. I'm not as, like, physically strong as I possibly would have been, or able to control my body the way I typically would have been, like, able to dip and dodge. Right.
Starting point is 00:52:37 I've been like, what the fuck? Right. Or you've seen that clipping Will Smith on a red carpet when the guy, like, is on some whatever, like, native shit. wherever they're from and he's like like that you smacked him real quick yeah just trigger reaction right i didn't have that like uh set i didn't have like the ability to react as quickly as i would have because also you're trying to wrap your head around the fact that this guy that you respect that you're working with is apparently on some mysterious shit yeah we're in this we have pulled in it like why won't you leave why didn't you just get out the car and leave people are thinking
Starting point is 00:53:10 of this like some regular row house this is the house to a mom multi-millionaire. The gate is fucking huge. Gate taller than me, I'm six foot. You how tall of you? Six-three. Tart than you. Gate huge. It's shut like a vault. Yeah. In order for it to open, vault got to be pressed open. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:53:29 And I still got these hundreds of thousands of dollars of clothes in the crib. I'm on damage control. Much like how much like how when you watch the video of the robbery, I'm also in damage control, trying to get these money. Because they were trying to get in my crib, bro. It wasn't just something that we were chilling in the whole. That's why they keep leaving, coming back, leaving, coming back. Because they try my keys on my door to be able to try to get in my unit.
Starting point is 00:53:49 They want to get me in my unit, which is why I'm of the belief that they wanted to kill me. Because if you're willing to do all of this in front of cameras in public, what the fuck are you going to do when I get in that room? Right. Wow. And that's the trauma. But I don't like the victim blaming because it's like you have to understand a person going through like the levels of realization about how fucked up what's happening is, which is there's one realization, which is that. I'm thinking I'm going to die, bro. Well, I'm just talking about him like even making this movie.
Starting point is 00:54:15 on you but so he's trying something with you and if there's one level of acceptance of that of like oh shit you're gay whatever but then there's another level of acceptance to be like oh fuck and you're being kind of aggressive and pushy with this shit like that's a whole other thing
Starting point is 00:54:31 you try to kill me bro wait so okay explain that when did that happen how much later seven days seven days later at your apartment at my apartment a separate place in what neighborhood separate city Separate City.
Starting point is 00:54:45 This is downtown LA. Wow. Yeah, so we go from Maryland to downtown LA. Mind you, he ran this narrative that I stole from, bro, and he also bragged online about me not even leaving with shoes on my feet. How the fuck did I steal any... Let me stop, bro. Give me a second.
Starting point is 00:55:04 How could I steal something from you if I left your house with nothing, not even the shoes on my feet? I remember running into John Wall at the airport. And I didn't know where I was going, by the way. They shoved me into a car I didn't know their destination. I show up at DCA, Reagan National, whatever the airport's called. I get out the car, the first person I see walking through the airport is John Wall. And I know all.
Starting point is 00:55:23 I'm doing my best to try to like hide from this POV because I'm walking through a fucking airport with no shoes on. You see a guy in the airport with no shoes on. You're probably going to think something wrong with him. Like, I look nuts. And I'm traveling home without my motherfucking belongings yet and still. You're talking about I stole from you? Then if you look, man, it's a lot, champ.
Starting point is 00:55:45 Yeah. So, okay, because I mean, some people might. I wonder, like, why would you file a lawsuit if it was just a guy hitting on you? That might not have risen to the occasion of him, of you feeling like you needed to sue, but then once we get into the sort of harassment and the robbery and all that, that's when it maybe rises to that level. He tried to kill me, bro. You tried to kill me. Them three men don't show up at my house that had no dialogue.
Starting point is 00:56:15 Even when they're doing what they're doing, I say, yo, bro, why are y'all here? Why what the fuck are you doing here? And they make a phone call during the robbery It's on video Who the fuck you think they called? I don't I don't know who they called How did they get in to my unit? Yeah, to my floor yeah It's video they walk directly into the front building The front of the building they loitered by the elevator all the floors in the building have code specific access
Starting point is 00:56:42 So if you live on the 18th floor you can't access my unit on the 16th floor vice versa Right only you only places that the common are the common areas walking through the building the pool the gym things like that the roof things like that all of those other floors i can't get to you you can't get to me unless i allow it you know what i mean i don't have an actual turnkey for my door at least i didn't think i did um but they got in they loitered by the elevator guy comes over he works for the security company oh what flow y'all need that type situation oh 16th floor they hit the button they go up to my floor they hang out for like an hour.
Starting point is 00:57:20 Within that hour, pardon me. Within that hour, a neighbor of mine and his lady go downstairs. They say, look, suspicious activity on our floor. It's not a big floor, bro. It's not that many units on the floor. It's not some super large. I'm being generous if I say like 13 units, 12 units on the floor. I'm being generous.
Starting point is 00:57:38 In reality, I want to say like 7, 8, but I'm being generous. And even if I'm being generous, that's not that many people. And they told the same guy, hey, it's a. suspicious activity taking place on the 16th floor, you should look into it. They did absolutely nothing. When I get off on the elevator after them having been there for almost an hour, first thing they hit me with, what's up with all that chrome shit? I'm like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:58:02 I back onto the elevator, because I know I'm a chrome guy at this point in time. You don't see me with it on right now, but I am in it's on my neck and shit like that. But at this point in time, I'm like, oh man, hell no. What the fuck is this broke-ass nigger doing in my crib? I back onto the elevator. He puts his hand in. As we know, the sensors make the elevator open. academics just said it the other day
Starting point is 00:58:19 that there should be like an emergency button to make the door shut like super, super hard and fast but it doesn't exist he called me the other day too I missed his call but yeah in this moment
Starting point is 00:58:30 I'm like what the fuck as soon as this door doors reopened he turns around and the reason he got off light in regard to punishment was because he didn't actually hit me or stop me
Starting point is 00:58:41 he signals like this and I didn't know the other two guys' names at this point in time They walk over. They stop my face in. They yank me at the elevator by my ankles. They tell them they're going to blow my head off. They rob me by the elevator.
Starting point is 00:58:55 They snatch all my chains off my neck. Chrome, diamonds, my son's name, all of the above. Stuff and stuff into a fucking into my bag. Take the hat that they beat off my head, put it on their head. And then eventually, even while they try in the keys on my door, they have me pent up against this wall. Granted, knowing what I know now, I believe that when you take somebody's phone, that's a kidnapping charge. I could be there wrong, but I believe it's something along those lines.
Starting point is 00:59:19 They got me pent up against this elevator. DeResmond Shundigs gets on the elevator, goes downstairs, tells somebody that he's trying to access. So you see him? You see... Do I see him go downstairs? You see him during those robberies. But he's not one of the guys.
Starting point is 00:59:34 Do you? Yeah, he is? Yes. Oh, shit. He's the first person I made eye contact with. But he has a mask on or no? No. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:59:40 That is so stupid that I can't even run my head around it. Holy fuck no. To my face. You're saying what I'm saying. I'm thinking that you're going to lie. be having a hard time making this case in court. But that's insane. Okay.
Starting point is 00:59:53 Hold on. This dude's fucked. This is me pent up by the elevator. Right? Oh, shit. You see all their faces. He's holding my bag. This guy's doing his thing.
Starting point is 01:00:16 He's doing his thing. You see all their faces. Even if you look at this. They don't have no motherfucking mass on. I'm saying that to them. Yo, bro, you're on camera. You on camera. You on camera.
Starting point is 01:00:25 He's saying, I don't give a fuck about no cameras. Right? So I'm right there. They got me pinned up against this elevator. It's elevated there. It's an elevator there. One on this side, two on this side. They pressed the button down because they then tried the little keys that I had in my hand on my door. They're trying to open it. Mind you, since the time I got this apartment, since I signed my sign the lease, I've only used the keypad for my entry. Because the last time would be like a fob, like a little magnet thing, and then there'll be like a code. This ain't even got the fob. Right. And if it does have a fob, I don't use the fob. I like the code. And I'm changing the code. And I'm changing the code. And I'm changing the code. And I'm changing the code. And I'm changing the code. And I'm. And I'm changing the code. And I'm. And I'm. And I'm. And I'm code every two fucking weeks for security purposes. I had a good rapport with somebody who was allowing me to change the code. No, no, no. I knew how to operate the security thing and I'm changing the code, whatever the case is. Long and short, no key for my door.
Starting point is 01:01:10 Since it's no key for my door, they're trying everything that they possibly can. They get frustrated with the fact that they can't do that. And I'm like, yo, bro, what the fuck are you here for y'all on camera? No, no, we're going to show you. We're going to show you back here. You're going to shut the fuck up, too, that type thing. So I'm backed up against the wall. They're snatching all the shit on my neck.
Starting point is 01:01:26 They're telling me they're going to stab me in my motherfucking neck. I'm standing there. Mind you, all of this is on video, bro. It's all over the internet. DeRez gets on an elevator that you see on the other side. This one goes downstairs, comes back up with a leasing agent that has a key in hand prepared to open my door. Mind you, they stole my phone.
Starting point is 01:01:44 But even at this point in time, nobody called me Chris Blake Griffith to be able to verify if these people could enter the building. Problem. Nobody called me to say, is this person able to, uh, uh,
Starting point is 01:01:56 uh, get a key to you. I've never even used a key for my own unit, bro. Right. He comes upstairs, the leasing agent. Key in hand, him and Marshawn, him and de res, Marcian days. Key in hand. As soon as I lock eyes with the leasing agent, that key won't work.
Starting point is 01:02:12 That key won't work. That key won't work. I need to change my code. I need to change my code. I'm turning my mouth up. I'm turning my mouth up. I'm getting louder. I'm telling him as he's even trying to, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:02:20 He said it's going to work. That key won't work. I got to change my code. I say it over and over again. At this point in time, I'm walking onto the elevator. I don't know if y'all fuckers is this coming with me, but this is the time and I'm on.
Starting point is 01:02:31 I'm walking on that elevator. Everybody follows me onto the elevator. Elevator goes downstairs. We go down. I trail him into the security room in which they have all the master keys and have a computer to be able to change codes and things of that nature.
Starting point is 01:02:45 These three assailants, they go chill in the lobby area. I walk behind the security desk. Same guy that let them up, it's like, oh, you can't walk back here. I look at him like, you just frustrated because I know this. Immediately you're like, this is the guy who let him in.
Starting point is 01:02:59 I'm tight. Don't even talk to me right now. I get to the back room. I say, yo, bro, it's a robbery taking place. He said, I don't feel safe. I said, if you don't feel safe, I suggest you call the damn police. So he calls the police. Police come, but he doesn't communicate to the other guy that's out there with them that there's a robbery in progress.
Starting point is 01:03:17 Police are coming. And they had a little employee app called Slack or something along those lines. Maybe somebody can tell us what Slack is. Slack is a lot of different workplaces use that to communicate. We use it. He didn't use Slash. Yo, bro, you're the right person to talk to. I'm not going to.
Starting point is 01:03:30 I'm not going to know a lot of shit. Slack is like almost any business that has like a lot of people that need to communicate. It's unbelievable common. Oh, my gosh. This is like the finish line of media. I'm finally talking to somebody who can make these references. Oh, my gosh. This is so complicated.
Starting point is 01:03:44 But anyways, back to topic. He doesn't communicate via Slack to the other guy. Police come in, guns drawn, looking for a robbery in place. These guys walk directly out the front door. He's like, there's no robbery. You take a place? The employee. I see them on a security camera back there.
Starting point is 01:03:58 I said, the police here, we should probably get out of here and tell them what's going on. These guys walk out of my building, make a right on Spring Street down 8th, and just walk. And on the cameras, I see them pulling my jewelry out and smiling and laughing and this day and the third. Da-da-da-da-da-da. Man, come on, bro. Wow. Yeah, my shit. And then days later, I'm watching my one-of-one chrome heart shit be worn at Paris Fashion Week.
Starting point is 01:04:20 Months later, be worn in the NFL games. He thinks he's a drill rapper. He wants to do the greasy neck tour. No, bro. I got Youngberged in plain sight. And just because my chain ain't a transformer, they can't draw the parallel that I'm being taunted in front of you, motherfuckers. You can't see that.
Starting point is 01:04:33 I can see that. Wow. Yeah, it's a problem. So, I mean, with all this, it kind of makes the fact that Cardi B said that you're just full of shit and that you're just lying, you're making this up out of thin air. When you see the video with people who you can match their faces to people in his entourage, it becomes kind of hard to be like, oh, Chris is just. just making this up out of thin air, right?
Starting point is 01:04:59 I don't really, knowing all this, I'm like, how the fuck did she even get online and say that? Adam. Adam. Can I walk around there? Sure. This guy?
Starting point is 01:05:20 Yeah. He robbed me. Okay. Who is that? Cardi B. Who is that? That stuff on digs in the middle between them. Yeah, we could put that on the screen.
Starting point is 01:05:29 That's, okay, that's the guy that's sitting next to him, yeah? Same motherfucking hair. That's just his homie or this is his brother or something? Like security. Somebody he paid for him. Okay. These are receipts for my one-of-one chrome shit that was stolen. That's three receipts.
Starting point is 01:05:41 I'm sorry, three items. All three these were connected to form this piece. Whoa. That's how that piece comes to life. Oh. There's that piece. There's that piece. That's the guy that stole it.
Starting point is 01:05:52 Same fucking hairstyle. I know people that wear braids at him. Yeah. They switch him up. Okay. This motherfucker ain't switched his braids up. Damn. He looked like Snoop from the wire.
Starting point is 01:06:03 Come on, huh? Love this shit. What the fuck me time out? That's a bad bitch. And I'm posted just where this? That's my top stud. Damn. That's crazy.
Starting point is 01:06:10 But so, okay, Cardi B. Was she around? You were around before her, right? I met Cardi B. once in my life. And guarantee you she don't even remember. Only I remember. Because she was still a dating offset during the time that you were. That's when I met her.
Starting point is 01:06:28 He was kind of her rebound. But then he also put a baby in her somehow. I don't know the intricacy to that. And I got a lot of love for set. But even in that moment, And the only interaction that she and I had had was after Liv, it was Cuevo's birthday or something along those lines. Mind you at this point in time, I'm working with Under Armour and shit like who's working with Migos. I went down there.
Starting point is 01:06:45 We got Quabo like a cake for his birthday. I went to live with him and shit like that. And after Liv had let out, she had this bedazzled dress on. And she's shaped like a Coke bottle, fine as she want to be. She backs up into my knee. And at this point in time, I had, much like I have on right now, distressed jeans. So when she backs up, it catches my pants. offset locks eyes with me.
Starting point is 01:07:06 He sees it happening. That's why he's not tripping when this is about to happen I'm about to tell you. So her dress, Fulby-dazzle, catches my distressed pants and then she backs up
Starting point is 01:07:16 and move forward. So the dress pulls and kind of like retracts back. And when it retracts back, it feels like a pinch or a snap or a pluck or a smack or something.
Starting point is 01:07:27 She think I just touched her butt. She turns around, she goes the fuck off on me. Mind you, offset locked eyes with me, he laughing. That's why he didn't, step to me or any regard.
Starting point is 01:07:36 Mind you, we got a rapport. But aside from that, he's seen it all go down. When that happens, she'd go off. I keep it cool, much like this, and don't defend myself, don't really argue back and forth. Just kind of like take it on the chin. And that's exactly where we are right now.
Starting point is 01:07:49 Just taking it on the chin. She just had a baby. I don't know how many fucking weeks she is, postpartum, and all love him, respect to her and her child. But that said, you can't look at what happened to me and be talking about, oh, what if he hurt himself,
Starting point is 01:07:59 or why y'all allowing this man to speak with no fucking evidence. This shit really happened. Right. And although Marciaan got off easy, the Reds got off easy, he was charged and convicted. Of the robbery? Yes. Okay. And he's on probation for it. When did that conviction actually take place? And what was he given? I think he got like some form of probation. It's two years of probation or something along those lines. Maybe he's still on probation. I'm not sure. But I know they called me at like
Starting point is 01:08:29 the start of maybe 20, 24. And the DA was like if you don't show up tomorrow to court, we're putting a warrant out for your arrest or something. I'm like, oh shit. So I ended up showing up. I show up the court. They tell me I can't make eye contact with him to stand in the third. This goof did a get ready with me the day he went to court.
Starting point is 01:08:51 Wow. I'm talking about underwear on, search the shirt tie. Come with me to get ready for court. As he is going to court to face the music for what they did to me. Right. So basically he wasn't taking it serious at all. Nobody took it seriously. Because he probably didn't think that there was any way that anyone was going to be able to draw a line between this robbery attempt and then him, I guess.
Starting point is 01:09:13 I can't tell you why an idiot is stupid, but I can tell you I'm not. Maybe he just feels like he has so much money that he can just fight this. Maybe that. He was posting on Instagram around that point in time saying he took an oath. But that was in reference to, I'm not sure. Is he a gang member? Don't know. I have no idea.
Starting point is 01:09:30 Yeah, me either. It says right here that you want to Drake to help you expose this. but Drake declined, and this is just a random Twitter account, so I have no idea if that's true. Yeah, that's not true. Okay. I, Drake had unfollowed me around this point in time, and mind you, we had like a standing rapport. And you have the OVO logo on your knee, I noticed there at a certain point.
Starting point is 01:09:50 Much like I told you throughout all of this when I was on that Under Armour time frame, when we had that conversation with Future the Prince, I went and tattooed this owl right here in October's very own. That was another one. Yeah, I got the boy. I got OVO radio. I got, my little brother is. also an art. Can you pull up on the screen, Drake, Jervante Davis run? You can just type that
Starting point is 01:10:10 it's gonna pop up. My little brother is actually an artist. That's who I was managing at that point in time. Little snoddy nose, little bitch-ass nigga. I'm going back and forth pushing him, we don't work together anymore, but pushing him to all of this different talent. And when I did this run with him, I had the guy in the car play my brother's song. So Drake, myself, Giovante, rocks, all of us are running to a song that some, and then the internet took to it and said, oh, Drake's new record just that in the third. Oliver actually hit Drake, like, that new song you got as hard. He's like, that's not even me. Come to find out, not come to find out, it's my artist, the song. And I pulled up on Drake, Arbery and the Three Mingo's tour. He tells me
Starting point is 01:10:51 the story about Oliver thinking that it's him. And, you know, he tells my little brother, you know, Chris, piece it up. And when I get off tour, I get on a feature to stand in the third, all of the above and all was well. But I say that to just highlight how long I've been dealing with Drake and the OVO crew. At this point in time, all I'm thinking is
Starting point is 01:11:08 you got this shit going on with Universal. You got this shit going on. And mind you, when he's beefing with Pusher, I'm in D.C. I'm dealing with Pusha's friends, his family.
Starting point is 01:11:17 Pusia lives on the outskirts of D.C. In Maryland, well, at this point in time, he did. And I'm running into these guys. At the time, Javante Davis is having conversations and Stephen Victor is helping us do things. Stephen Victor made his bones managing the clips.
Starting point is 01:11:31 Right. So I'm around these guys. They come to her after fight parties and all of the above. I'm just actively choosing not to speak to him out of reverence for the boy. That said, when he pulled the plug on me, when I just wanted a little bit of like, yo, bro, hey, just don't leave me out here alone. I'm not asking you to unaligned. I am asking you not to unalign yourself with me.
Starting point is 01:11:49 But I'm saying, you my dog. Don't switch on me now. Like, that type of shit. I mean, is Stefan Diggs that close with Drake? He don't know Drake. Oh. I was the one even when his team wanted to go to Drake concerts and stuff like that. Hey, can you set up Neff Davis with this for, I think he did the shows in Harlem or something like that.
Starting point is 01:12:07 I wasn't even in the city. I'm just able to send his text to CJ. CJ piece it up for me. We ain't got no problem. You know what I mean? I think he did the Apollo Theater or something like that. He did some special shows there and brought out like a dip set and wore the camera on jacket and the pink and all of the year. But I said I'm going to be able to go to that.
Starting point is 01:12:23 So Cardi coming out here and trying to discredit you is very shocking to you. I don't know her. She don't know me. Because at least from like the public version of this, she has plenty of reasons to not want to be jumping out the window defending him after the whole Super Bowl thing. He's cheating on her. Like it seems like you kind of put her through hell from almost any objective standpoint.
Starting point is 01:12:44 Granted, it's her baby daddy. But you know, you wouldn't necessarily expect her to be jumping out the window on behalf of her baby daddy who she doesn't necessarily seem like she's on the best terms with. Yeah, I cannot speak to. to why she's defending him the way that she's defending him. What I can speak to is the fact that she don't know nothing about me and I only know publicly what she puts on a platform for me to know about her.
Starting point is 01:13:08 And I speak with that level of reverence because I don't know what I don't know. And I wish that her finance would just do the same thing back to me. Right. reciprocate that. If I don't know, I'm not going to say nothing. You get what I'm saying? You don't see my girl jumping out the fence about things that she don't know. Right. And she did her due diligence to find out the truth, which is probably why, you know, we don't have that problem anymore. But again, I say, like, yo, bro, if I don't know, I'm not going to speak. She even speak around about my time with Giovante Davis, right? She speaks about my time around Giovante Davis as if she had some element of, like, access around. I don't know you.
Starting point is 01:13:40 Who's telling her shit? Because think about it, when we don't know him is. When we had the whole Super Bowl drama where, you know, allegedly he had another girl come to the Super Bowl with him and her, Cardi B and Stefan Diggs were supposed to do a big party together and then the party like gets canceled. They don't go to the party or whatever. I don't even think she ever spoke out about that. But then for some reason, she's got something to say about a lawsuit against her baby daddy that doesn't have anything to do with her.
Starting point is 01:14:09 It's kind of curious. They said I lied on Drake, right? I think Drake during a point in time, and I loved the boy, and the album's phenomenal, but I feel like they said that I lied on Drake too, right? I don't know. I think Ack said, and I did two conversations with him where he was like, oh, yo, bro. Drake said the DMs were fake and this that and the third, da-da-da. I'm gonna give you my phone at him
Starting point is 01:14:28 Sure Do you think Tell me if that's real or fake This is a conversation with you and Drake Where you, you know In 2024 you sent him like a song An EP And I said what
Starting point is 01:14:44 Could you preview it for me? Did I say can you post it? No, you just basically were asking To listen to it I guess That's Adam 22 y'all Then you sent him a picture A bunch of boxing gloves Oh and this is in 20204
Starting point is 01:14:56 And you said damn gang Touch the boxing gloves And see the names under him that you see You can zoom in. Drake, Cream, CJ. Okay, so a bunch of different OVO members. The whole crew for everybody.
Starting point is 01:15:11 Damn gang, unfollowed me from college days playing views on repeat with the volume turned all the way down in my sleep in hopes of helping you attain another number one to tat in the owl on my skin. From standing outside your shows in the cold with my baby Brosky, whose OVO deal fell through the cracks,
Starting point is 01:15:30 after coming to Toronto to Link 40 at SOTA Studios to arguing with Gervante about charging $0 to put the OVO Owl patch on the shorts when he fought on the Mayweather versus McGregor Undercard simply because I saw the vision from all. So this is the problem is if Drake lets you down, you could just hit him with all of your life experiences that were kind of set to Drake's music, which you seem like you were in a little deeper.
Starting point is 01:15:54 You're playing the songs trying to make sure that he charted higher. I mean, that's real owl behavior. But from always offering tickets to all the OVO guys for every fight that I'd pay out of pocket for because Gervante would say they got the money to then having Prime pissed in me for requesting a pair of signed gloves and not getting them despite me spending my own money on gloves for Prim and your whole team that Javonte refused to sign unless I asked you to send us a pick of the signed shorts I had framed and give it to you for your birthday. even when I flew from Baltimore to L.A. And dropped the shorts off to you. My personal team at G.T.D. Said I was dick riding when I was merely showing love as I paid for the framing, my flights, and lodging out of my own pocket because G. was against it.
Starting point is 01:16:36 I'm not your op champ. You heard a fan today, Broski. God bless. Hope your best days are ahead. Forever grateful. C.B. So then you want me to read what he said? If you want to?
Starting point is 01:16:47 He said, this is Drake. You asking me to post a tape about you ratting on people, G. I just don't really come from a family or a friend group or a city where that's acceptable. I live by a code that becomes law. We all just got to deal with our own shit off of here. Not telling you to be no super gangster or tell you what to do, but it made me feel super weird you would think I would be into supporting that type of shit.
Starting point is 01:17:11 So that's actually interesting that, you know, most people who send me their SoundCloud link, I just don't listen. He apparently like, he took the time to figure out what was on it, whether he listened or somebody told him he knew it was on the tape. Chris Blake, the mixtape, now playing worldwide. Go get that on your DSPs. Go ahead, Adam. Okay.
Starting point is 01:17:29 And so you send him a bunch of more messages, but I don't know if we just keep reading this. No, no, that's cool, it's cool. Just talking back and forth. But that leads to him saying, I mean, I don't need, and this was my problem. But it is understandable that he wouldn't really want to get involved between you guys of drama. And in hindsight, I was wrong for leaking this conversation. I was wrong for that, bro.
Starting point is 01:17:48 Okay. I was wrong. The main reason I leaked the conversation was because when he called. me a snitch, my proactivity kind of kicked in, my anxiety kind of kicked in because he had just moved to Houston. Stefan was playing in Houston. I did not know how deep this shit run, and I also know the boy for real. And since I know the boy for real, I'm not even playing no games of you feeling like
Starting point is 01:18:11 I'm this type of man. I'm a snitch. At the end of the day, I feel like on some business shit, to be called a snitch is a detriment. Right. If you and I go rob a bank together, well, let's use a different example. If you and I rob, yeah, you and I rob a bank together, we rob this bank and then we get caught,
Starting point is 01:18:32 I look at you and amicably, we've understood that we're going to this bank, we're taking this money, we're going to do whatever we want with it. I look and say, oh, I had no intention to robbing the bank, it was all at them. I feel like that's disloyal. Yeah. I don't owe loyalty to niggas I did not commit crime with.
Starting point is 01:18:47 The loyalty is amongst them. Right. And when they get snatched, they can do what co-conspirators do, and I see the hold tall or tell on all of each other. I have no idea how it's going to go, and that's their business. But I don't owe you that loyalty, nor are you going to put me back in a trick bag after having been on probation before in my life when I was younger, to now to now, to now, to now be involved in some situation where I got to revise my life as a father now and go back to the drawing board and figure out how I'm going to respond to these goofy guys that only tried me on some gay shit, to be honest. like that's too much for me
Starting point is 01:19:21 but when the boy said that's pretty funny to like go do a robbery in order to like basically silence somebody who's outing your big rich homie as being on some zesty shit y'all defending like look who you riding for like why'd y'all run up in that apartment
Starting point is 01:19:38 man he was gonna out the homie for being gay we had to get his shit we had to take his chrome that's crazy and then rocking the chrome at like fucking on the runway show and that's what I'm saying to you these That's not alleged.
Starting point is 01:19:50 That's funny as well. Whatever you want to talk about in regard to sexuality have a field day. What I'm talking about is not alleged. That really fucking happened. He was really charged and convicted. And truth be told, I wouldn't be surprised if they reopened the case. Now with the new evidence. But when Drake says, I mean I don't know no details, fam.
Starting point is 01:20:07 In my head, that was like really disrespectful to me because you can't call nobody a snitch. You know in this space without the details. No, so the number one thing you can't really say. The details. It's not objective. You need the black. I'm white. That's it.
Starting point is 01:20:19 And what are we talking about? I don't know these niggas from nothing. So when he says, me and Universal is like, whatever, and then he gets into what he said about whatever, in hindsight now, having that been the only form of dialogue in regard to the lawsuit that he had made at that point in time that came by way of me releasing a private conversation, to the boy, I say, bro, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:20:43 I apologize. I'll say that the Iceman album and everything that you battling legally, is getting me through when I'm dealing with legally right now where I'm fighting a man not suing a rap with you boys
Starting point is 01:20:53 are not listening You're a corporate America hit Survivor I'm a corporate America hit survivor got a real good heart I'm a fucked up guy though Yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:21:01 These ain't my haters These are my secrets Yeah it's a fact Love you Barty Police escorts Because I can't miss the fireworks Yeah That's a fucking fact
Starting point is 01:21:09 Private arbitration Leads the resolution Yeah He stuck his tongue in my ear And it was sloppy So that wasn't my work We could do the whole gay version of it We heard your boys, we heard your homies got hitting this sloppy.
Starting point is 01:21:20 So that wasn't our word. Yeah, these niggas show up. No mask, no nothing. I'm saying to us. Yo, bro, you know, don't have no mass on no nothing? Yeah. What do you think this is? Yeah, that was from boneheaded shit.
Starting point is 01:21:31 So in my mind, bro, it's just get out of this floor. If I can get out of this floor, I can make it out of this situation alive. Get back to my babies. I'd be cool. And that's exactly what the fuck. God, what the fuck. Not what the fuck. Thank you, Lord.
Starting point is 01:21:45 That I was able to do, bro. And I'm grateful for that. But what ain't going to happen is to 160 million people at attention on Instagram, 37 plus million people on Twitter, this person who would literally sue anybody if they spoke ill or her name, come out and spew conjecture while I'm walking this shit down is loyal David versus Goliath. That's too much. Right.
Starting point is 01:22:07 Yeah, I can't have it happen. That is wild. It's like, I wonder what he tells her as far as like, what is her rendition of this that she has been fed and why is she so passionate about it? I mean, you see her be like, you know, kind of weirdly, like, outspoken about variety of things from time to time. Your game got to be strong providing the amount of children that were born last year with that last name. Your game got to be shocked. Or how many?
Starting point is 01:22:31 You tell me. I don't know. But he made a bunch of kids last year, including with her. So I hear. Damn. So I heard. If I knocked up Cardi B, I think I would just focus on that. But that's me a little bit more.
Starting point is 01:22:41 Even when she, like, spoke in regard to, like, me having a son. And mind you, I got two sons that both. bear my name myel Blake Griffith cross Blake Griffith my daughter's name is Blake Griffith that said I'm defending my name no I mean I'm defending my name so nobody can ever look at day daddy and say oh we stepped on him even though literally they did you get you got me something literally they stepped on my motherfucking face Adam I hate to like pop at you like that but like bro you know what if I had it my way bro if it really was up to me and it was no consequences
Starting point is 01:23:17 Adam, I was squeezing until my fingers bleed for what they did to me. But thanks be to God, I got some coup. So I'm walking this shit down, the legal way. I'm doing what I'm supposed to do. But for what they did to me, you're going to look at me and tell me it in no evidence. In plain sight, this shit happening in broad daylight
Starting point is 01:23:37 on NFL broadcast and shit like that. And I'm supposed to just be cool. And you just carry my name how you want to. Whiz him my name and no sad too loud. You got to come in and you know I pop out. I mean, we are talking about a situation that if we were going to go by like prison rules, you have to kill him. Essentially.
Starting point is 01:23:58 I have a friend Gumby, older guy. At one point, another dude in prison basically made in a sexual advance on him, basically told him he was going to fuck him. Gumby, while they're like searching them going back into the prison or whatever, Gumby lunges at the dude, stabs him in the neck and kills him. Boom. ends up beating the murder but everybody the way they talk about Gumby
Starting point is 01:24:21 I mean he earned his stripes right there when he chose to take this guy out because he tried to make a sexual advance on him yeah it's a no go for me bro we live in the free world where the rules are much different I don't encourage you to go commit a murder yeah absolutely not bro
Starting point is 01:24:37 but for what he did to me and violate me and trying to take my life and somebody gonna get on the internet talking about it ain't no evidence and I should feel sorry for him bro, what are we talking about? I almost died. What the fuck are we talking about?
Starting point is 01:24:50 Yeah. You're going to call me a motherfucking thief? You're going to call me a thief. Put that on me. That's what I did. And I left your house with not even shoes on my feet, and you brag about that? You rob me, you take what's mine,
Starting point is 01:25:02 and to date I didn't even get what's back. I show up your house with thousands of dollars in luggage alone. Fuck the contents, but just thousands of dollars of luggage alone with my fucking initials on the shit. And they still don't exist in my position. in my possession.
Starting point is 01:25:15 They still have. And we're talking about theft. The only thing that took a public, and all of this is recorded. You see them take that shit. You see them take this shit. What the fuck we're talking about, bro? Insane.
Starting point is 01:25:26 Okay, I got like five minutes. My last question is, can you tell us any kind of legal response that they've had now that this lawsuit has been put out there? Like, is there any kind of communication? I mean, I'm sure you're massively limited in what you can say.
Starting point is 01:25:43 Yeah. If you ask a specific question, I give you a very specific answer. Have they been communicative with your legal team? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Would you say that you think that they're going to settle rather than see this thing through? All honesty, Adam, I don't want to settle.
Starting point is 01:25:56 Ooh. I don't, if I had it in my way, if it was, if it's like to me, I get everyone here, I get everyone in line down. If it's up to me? You got a bar for everything. Oh, my God. Y'all don't bro, that ice man shit boy giving me thought. Stupid, right? I ain't going to cap.
Starting point is 01:26:11 But anyways, yeah, bro. If it's under me, it ain't no settlement. Now you got to shake my hand in front of other people. Yeah, fuck the chatter. Since 2009 as I climbed the ladder, they envy me like Nevada, but it never mattered. Fuck these guys, bro. They tried to unalive me.
Starting point is 01:26:29 They stepped on my motherfucking face. Adam, let me tell you something. There's a lot of different ways I could go about seeking justice in my name, the easiest of which, and the most gratifying, would take me away from my children. And I love them more than I love myself. So I'm doing it the right way in order to make sure I continually and present for them and can come home at night.
Starting point is 01:27:00 It ain't about a dollar amount. It ain't about nothing but the fact that justice on my name, I got to see about that. A thousand percent I got to see about that. I can't account for what this niggotel is BM. I can't account for none of these conversations that I have that I'm not privy to. but if it's up to me, judge and jury, over settlement 28 days a week. That's a fact.
Starting point is 01:27:29 Yeah. I mean, if you're 100% certain that he is guilty, which based on everything you've shown me, it seems pretty absolute. Why not? Why not take it the whole way? Yeah, and then when you do stupid shit, like publicly ask me to post-discovery that you have access.
Starting point is 01:27:45 How does discovery work, Adam? Let me ask you a question. Discovery is the process in a lawsuit in which, I'm basically able to say, hey, I want access to his phone records when it comes to specific search terms in particular. In this situation, you would almost certainly be saying, hey, we want every time you ever send an email that has your name or any variation on your name, we want to see every text message that you sent. We want to know what phone calls you were making with these guys who ran up in your apartment. We want to know at what time, how long these phone calls lasted. we even would be interested in your GPS data that was available at certain times,
Starting point is 01:28:19 all these things that could be used. And it's actually one of the most expensive things about being involved in a lawsuit is that it takes huge amounts of time to be able to provide this kind of evidence. And that's it. If I was suing you and you were suing me back, or you're suing me and I'm suing you back, the discovery I turn over, whom would have access to it, Adam? Just that? Oh, your legal team as well, yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:45 Right. And yours. Yeah. If I turn over the discovery, you have access to what I turned in. I have access to what you turned in. So why, if you have access to what I turned in and I have access to what you turned in, would you publicly ask me to post which you already have access to? Right. If they run a headline that says, Christopher Blake Griffith turned over 100 plus pages of discovery in the Stefan Diggs suit to validate him.
Starting point is 01:29:12 validate his claims of dialogue between him and Stefan Diggs, who did I turn it over to? Your team. Therefore, you have it. So to ask me publicly to post what I already gave you, you play in the optical game. And that's bullshit. Absolutely bullshit.
Starting point is 01:29:32 And then you got hurt backing you? That's like I don't know too much. Love you, Cardi. Hey, my mom. Cardi, you better watch out. You're going to get thrown in those lawsuit, too. No, I give her a kiss while throwing a lawsuit. It's called defamation.
Starting point is 01:29:42 My boy, a liar. You don't seem like you lying, so I don't know. Yeah, a lot of truth. What else you got going on that you want the people to know about as this case proceeds? Shit, more music. But mainly just walking down this path of justice, bro. I got a, I'm on a mission. And I'm going to see it through.
Starting point is 01:30:01 1,000%. Thousand percent. That's crazy. Yeah. I'm grateful to be alive. I like seeing the little guys stand up against the fucking deranged celebrities who think that they don't have to do the right thing or answer to anybody. In my life, especially as the discovery continues to come forward, bro, I've never
Starting point is 01:30:18 seen somebody so audacious. I've never seen something so black and white in my life that they're willing to ride about. I've never seen it. And I keep telling you, they made a phone call during the fucking robbery. I can't wait to find out who they called. Ooh. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:36 I mean, it really just stands out. It's like, damn, you're good at football. You're good at being like a celebrity and shit. but man, you do not know what the fuck is going on as a criminal. Because sending your boys with no masks or rob the apartment, like, what the fuck? Who would even go through with something like that? As a crash out. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:53 Not me as a crash out, but as a crash out, if I'm going to be a crash out, why the fuck would I do it like that? Yeah. That's crazy. Poorly planned. In 20s, 26? Yeah. This how we coming? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:04 Now we. They. And today I say, I'll see you soon. He probably got the same advice that Push Icey got. It's like kind of similar. Very audition. Hi, yo, Chris, I appreciate you, man, for real. It was a very interesting story.
Starting point is 01:31:20 Yeah, my man. And best of luck with everything. And Cardi B, I don't know. I'm a big fan, but I think you've been misled as far as I can tell. Love you, Mama. Hope you get the troops soon. Shout out, Chris. Tap in.
