Rotten Mango - Kanye & Diddy's Dark Connection - Why People Think Bianca Is The Next Cassie & Is Kanye Next Arrest?

Episode Date: June 25, 2025

Thursday morning felt like we were seeing something we weren't supposed to be seeing…   Sean Combs is sitting in his normal spot and the entire defense team fall into formation like soldiers at ...attention. They make a human force field as they huddle around Sean Combs. Is this a pep talk? What's happening? Through the cracks we can see, Sean Combs, absolutely livid. They stay like that until Father Arun, aka Judge Arun calls for a sidebar in the robing room. Lead counsel, Father Arun, and the court reporter disappear behind the door for 20 mins. Then 30 mins. It’s an hour into the morning and we have yet to start the actual court proceedings - nor can we hear anything that’s going on inside the robing room. Usually the rumors will come and go in the press pews - there’s not that many to go around.But everything about this Thursday is different. With nothing else to do - the press are whispering - ‘Did you hear?’ ‘I don’t know if it’s true’‘Kanye West is trying to get into the courthouse’‘I heard he’s here to support Diddy’ But this doesn’t make sense because why would Diddy be so viscerally angry to the point that his entire team has to block our view of him? Wouldn’t he want his friend supporting him? Is this why the attorneys have spent so long in the robing room? It all seems a lot deeper than that. Perhaps even darker. A lot of people start to speculate that Kanye might be the Feds next target - he might be who they’re coming after next.   Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com

Starting point is 00:00:00 It is the 22nd day of court. Father Arun takes the bench at 8.50 in the morning. On a normal day, there's going to be initial conversations, but within the hour, the witness is going to be brought back onto the stand. The jurors are going to file in, take their seats. This day, this Thursday, is very different. After taking the bench, there's a few back and forths between the parties, the prosecutors and the defense team. And then suddenly Judge Arun, aka Father Arun, that's what we like to call him, he calls for a sidebar in the robing room. This is a little weird. So the robing room is like a little side office. The door is right by the judge's bench in the left far side corner of the courtroom. It's like right at the very front next to his bench. Normally, he'll call for a sidebar and that's when the jurors are in the room. So the jurors are sitting, they call for a sidebar, they turn on the white noise, the lead attorneys will go to the corner of the room and they'll do like a little football huddle.
Starting point is 00:00:59 And they'll talk and they don't want the jurors to hear this. Usually when you get the transcript at the end of the day, however, it will have the sidebar unless it's sealed. Now, the jurors are not in the room. The witness is not in the room. And he's saying, I don't want the press and the public. Nobody can hear this. We need to go into the roving room.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Does that mean that there's no transcript of it either? It's going to be sealed. Oh, there's about like, I think, 35 pages that are sealed. And this all takes place in the roving room. They're in the roving room for a very long time. So Father Arun, the stenographer, the court reporter, they disappear because even if it's sealed, it still has to be on the record. Now, the court reporter and the lead counsel from both sides, they disappear into the roving room. One discussion turns into two. I mean, people will come in and out.
Starting point is 00:01:54 So like, Maureen Comey will come in, Mark Agnifilo will go out, they'll disappear for 20 minutes, and then they'll come back in, and it's just like a lot of back and forth. And the whole time, the public, the press, everybody's getting a little bit angsty because we've never seen this happen before. In fact, usually when they go meet in the roving room, this happens before we even get called up into the courtroom. What does that mean? Like they talk inside of that room? Yeah, and then it'll just be on the transcript, it won't be sealed, and then you're like, oh it says in the roving room. I see.
Starting point is 00:02:24 You never really see them say, hey, let's go to the roving room right now. So this is like the first time? Yeah. Wow. And they're gone for a long time, just back and forth, back and forth. And I mean, it was over an hour. Wow. And everybody's just sitting there like this has never happened before. And everybody seems stressed. Everybody is trying to read people's facial expressions, trying to read the body language of the prosecutors, trying to read the body language of the defense team. And it's just so confusing because we have no idea what's happening. And you also want to know who's in trouble. Like that's usually the first thing in the press pews' mind.
Starting point is 00:03:02 One side has got to be in trouble or one side is losing an argument or it's a very contentious fight. Now at one point, however, Marine Comey, the lead prosecutor, she exits the roving room and she's got a small smile on her face and she looks at her team of prosecutors and she just shrugs her shoulders. Like I don't know what they're fighting about in there. I don't know what's going on. Is that like her usual attitude all the time? Yeah I mean she is she's getting progressively a little more stern. I mean she's always been very stern with how she feels but she seems
Starting point is 00:03:39 to be maybe one of the very few people where it seems like the house is on fire and she'll just walk out of there shrugging She seems like the most chill out of all of them. So, okay Maybe it seems like there's nothing to worry about The same cannot be said for the defense when Mark Agnifilo comes out at around 10 in the morning So we're about like an hour into the robing room meeting again the jury nor the witness are there So the actual testimony the actual are there, so the actual testimony, the actual court day has yet to start. And Mark Agnifilo, here's the thing about the defense team men. Mark Agnifilo, Brian Steele, the minute that they are stressed, their faces are red.
Starting point is 00:04:17 I mean, I guess there's no makeup to hide it either, so like you just see it on their face, and sometimes the redness will come down to their neck So like they can try to poker face it, but their face gives it away His face is red and you can just read him like a book his brows are knitted together and he stands now facing towards us Right in front of Sean Combs who is still sitting at the defense table So he's been sitting there with us for like an hour. Mark is on the other side facing, he's standing, Sean Combs is sitting and it feels like the entire defense team they fall into formation like soldiers at attention they make a human force field huddle around Sean Combs. Every single other defense attorney is standing behind Sean Combs
Starting point is 00:05:06 in a curve so that none of the press pews, none of the public can really see what's going on. And Mark is standing facing us so we can see Mark and he is explaining to Sean Combs probably what they're talking about in there. And it seems okay at first we didn't really know why this huddle is happening. It just felt like is this like a pep talk? Are they going to do like one of those like football sports team pep talks? What's happening? But then we see a little bit of Mark Agnifilo's face and he seems, he seems stressed and he's like kind of waving his hands. And at one point we're trying to lip read and all we can read, we think, we know is he's saying I don't know I don't know
Starting point is 00:05:46 that's what it looks like I don't know I don't know and then from the crack and like the little angle of our seat because all the press pews were like doing this okay and we're like did you see that did you see that because you can see Sean Combs beyond livid He has never dropped any sort of like he'll be nodding at jurors Like we've talked about everything that he's been doing. He'll be talking to sketch artists He'll be mouthing stuff to the public and the press pews, but we have never seen him this pissed off before What's his like body language? He's looking at the attorneys and all we see is his right hand in the air going like Like he's like waving it saying something with a lot of passion Like what is happening like that kind of vibe and then it seems like Mark Agniflo is like, I don't know. I don't know
Starting point is 00:06:35 Mm-hmm, and it just felt like we were seeing something that we weren't supposed to be seeing because what's happening inside of this huddle and Sean Come seems like he's just progressively getting angrier all Thursday morning. Like we've never seen him move that quickly. It's fast. It's like he's swatting the air. I mean, he's rapidly talking. His lips are like shooting off whatever he's saying. He just seems so pissed off. And Mark Agnifilo's face is just getting redder and redder. And so they huddle for a really long time.
Starting point is 00:07:05 And the press pews, we start getting word of things. Okay, there's like waves of rumors. Usually like the rumors will come and go on the press pews. It's not, there's not that many rumors to go around. But this Thursday morning, I don't even know how, it's like telephone. Literally we're just all like, wait, what's going on? You ask the person next to you and they're like,
Starting point is 00:07:24 okay, so we heard, and I don't know if this is true, but somebody on Sean Combs is like family or friend side, potentially reached out to a witness, which would be really bad. And this is a rumor. This is completely a rumor. I mean, I would imagine if this were true, we would have heard about it by now. Okay. But they're just saying, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:43 That's what that person said. This is like, wow, wow, this is happening. Yeah. They're huddling. And the press pews are just trying to figure out and I don't even know how this rumor started. I don't know who started it. I don't know if it was valid. If it's not valid.
Starting point is 00:07:55 I imagine again, if this were true, we would have heard about it by now because that would be a very big deal. But it's just like, we don't know. We don't know. That's what that's what they said. And then they're like, I don't know. That's what she said. That's what he said. And then they're like, I don't know. That's what she said. That's what he said.
Starting point is 00:08:06 And then it's like, okay, the rumor kind of dies down because we're like, what are the odds of that? And then another rumor comes through. Okay, so we heard that Kanye West is trying to get in and we're like, wait, what? What do you mean he's trying to get in? But that doesn't make sense because if he's trying to get in, why would Diddy be so upset about it? Like, why would it cause an hour in the robing room? And then why would it cause him to be so passionately angry?
Starting point is 00:08:28 And then also, there's so many other questions, like, why the hell is Kanye here? Because sure, we can simply say that Kanye is trying to get into the courthouse to support Diddy, a friend. But it seems a lot deeper, perhaps even a lot darker than that. With a lot of people starting to speculate,'s because he's next? That he's going to be the next one that the feds take down after Diddy.

As always, full show notes are available at rottenmangopodcast.com. Now, some of the quotes and statements have been shortened, combined, and condensed for brevity. Any and all observations in the courtroom were made by either my researchers or myself in real time. However, please understand that these are just our own personal experiences. There are many people in the courtroom that might have had different experiences,
Starting point is 00:09:51 different thoughts, different opinions. A few content disclaimers before we get started. Today's episode includes brief mentions of DV, physical and essay, childhood essay, trafficking, and additionally there are discussions surrounding topics like racism, anti-semitism, and hate speech so please watch with caution, take breaks if you need to, and a few disclaimers about Diddy and Kanye, the people involved in today's episode, i mean as we both know, Kanye has not been indicted for any crimes, he has not been arrested, he has not been charged with any crimes, there are a few active civil lawsuits against him, but as of right now, those are just
Starting point is 00:10:29 allegations at this point. Sean Combs as well, he has been charged. This is a trafficking trial, racketeering, RICO trial. However, he has not been convicted yet. So everyone is innocent until proven guilty. And in the most recent years, as some of you may know, Kanye has become incredibly anti-semitic, which is never okay. He has made so many public tirades involving anti-semitism and hate speech. He genuinely has said things that are unfathomable to like come out of somebody's mind, let alone someone with that massive of a platform. I mean, Kanye's lore is almost as deep as Sean Combs' lore, and we would need 10 hours,
Starting point is 00:11:10 a four-part series, to even truly cover and report on it all. So for the purpose of this episode, we are specifically focusing on Kanye's actions, a few good, mostly bad, that relate to Kanye's involvement in Diddy's trial. So I want to be super clear that we are not intentionally ignoring these moments, nor are we trying to somehow minimize them by not including them. It's just... It would take so long to go through every hateful thing that he's ever said about any group of people. So with that being said, let's get started.
Starting point is 00:11:38 2024 is a very, very bad year with Sean Combs. I mean, that much is clear. He's not having a good time last year. But it's also a very, very bad year for somebody else in the music industry, Kanye West. And interestingly enough, a lot of people think it's not a coincidence that Sean Combs is having a bad 2024 and Kanye West is having a bad 2024. It's all connected. And maybe Sean Combs is living on a faster timeline.
Starting point is 00:12:05 That's what people are speculating that maybe Kanye West, his trajectory is going to look oddly similar. So we're going to skip January of 2024 but keep this in mind because something big happens in January of 2024 that involves both of the rappers but skipping January for right now and going straight into February of 2024. Kanye drops a new song. So at this point, February, Cassie has dropped her lawsuit four months ago, November of 2023. There has been no raids on Diddy's house. He hasn't been arrested.
Starting point is 00:12:38 He's a free man. There's just been a lot of media controversy over Cassie's lawsuit. All we know is that she's settled and that's about it. Everyone's wondering what's going to happen next. Is he just going to like wait for a comeback? We don't know. February of 2024, Kanye drops a new song called Carnival, which did end up peaking on the Billboard Hot 100 at the number one spot, which is kind of insane considering nobody thought Kanye could ever make a musical comeback after all the insane stuff that he's been saying online for like the past two years A lot of people argue online that the song itself sounds good
Starting point is 00:13:11 But when you sit there and you listen to the lyrics, they're like suddenly it's not so good Okay, so first off the first few lines on the song there's one part that reads Pull up in the trenches like Columbine, a reference to the school. However, that lyric is not rapped by Kanye, but nevertheless, in another verse, Kanye does indeed rap, anybody pissed off, gotta make him drink the urine. Now I'm Yay Kelly, in reference to R. Kelly. Now I'm Bill Cosby. Now I'm Puff Daddy Rich. That's me too rich. Side note. Yeah, by this point, like I said, all we know is that Cassie sued Combs and settled a day later. We have not seen the CNN video. Combs' homes have yet to be raided. He has
Starting point is 00:14:00 yet to be arrested. So it's an interesting mix to put those three people together in a song, R. Kelly, Bill Cosby, and Puff Daddy. Now all three men have been accused of crimes. He also raps, this is for what they did to Chris. They can't do with this. It is believed that he's referring to Chris Brown for getting blackballed in the music industry after he physically assaulted Rihanna. Wow. So another reference that is
Starting point is 00:14:26 Not necessarily the most I mean look I don't even know what these lyrics mean But it doesn't appear to be great connections that he's drawing here like those are not people that you want to be connected to Yeah, he also names dropped Taylor Swift which this carnival song it has everybody mad for different reasons So some people are pissed off because they're like, why are you bringing up Chris Brown and Rihanna? Some people are like, leave Rihanna alone. Other people are mad because they're like, why are you name dropping Taylor Swift? Like her fans are like, leave her alone, please. Oh, maybe Diddy's name wasn't even like a main talking point for people? Yeah. I mean, it was a little bit, but it seemed like more so Taylor Swift and even like the Chris Brown layer, it got a little bit more heat. Yes. Now the song performed well, like really well, and a lot of people were upset.
Starting point is 00:15:10 They're commenting online, so is he trying to say he's a pedo? I mean he definitely has a creepy obsession with Taylor, that's for sure. Like why does he keep mentioning her endlessly? Another netizen says, So Kanye is snitching about being a predator because everyone he's listening is a predator. To which someone responds, I seriously doubt it. I think he didn't think it through. I think he's talking about all these men's influence
Starting point is 00:15:31 and fame. I mean, I understand Cosby because everybody loved him once upon a time, but Diddy? I mean, everybody knew Diddy had dirt. With another one commenting intensely, he already said he knows that his me too is on the way. He said me too rich. So when he and his slave are done, and they're referring to Bianca Sensori, his wife, she will do exactly what Cassie did. That's what the comment is saying.
Starting point is 00:15:58 That Bianca Sensori is going to leave Kanye and sue Kanye just like Cassie sued Diddy. That's a comment. That's February of 2024. Now, March 25th, 2024, both of Diddy's LA and Miami mansions are raided by the feds where they find a lifetime supply of baby oil, astraglide, and guns with their serial numbers scratched off. One month later, April 21st, 2024, Kanye drops another song.
Starting point is 00:16:26 It's titled Like That Remix. Now to give you some context, Like That, the original song, not the remix, is a song by Future, Metro Booming, and Kendrick Lamar. Basically, this is the first diss track against Drake. This is like what allegedly start off the whole feud that ended up with Not Like Us. allegedly start off the whole feud that ended up with not like us. This dropped in March, so like a month prior, but now in April, Kanye drops like that remix. Now the notable lyric as it pertains to Diddy is quote, can't stop, won't stop. I just your Sean John tank top, which is Combs's clothing brand Sean John.
Starting point is 00:17:04 That's actually his first and middle name wasn't can't stop won't stop like a slogan for the employees or something like that okay so a few things can't stop won't stop there is a song that Kid Cudi has where he says can't stop won't stop 20 times in the song so i don't know if that's like a slogan that he really liked and then later one of Diddy's personal assistants testified and he said during his interview with Diddy He said why should you hire me because I can't stop won't stop and Diddy was like I like that And then he got hired. So this is a very interesting reference I mean, I guess it's a commonly kind of commonly used phrase. Yeah, but it's still everything's connected It appears and he says, I just fucked your bitch
Starting point is 00:17:45 in a Sean John tank top, which is his clothing brand. So there's that. This releases a month after Sean Combs' homes are raided. I mean, I feel like you could have easily taken that out, replaced it, or at least did what Kesha did. Kesha had a song that said, wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy, which she now changed it to wake up in the morning feeling like P
Starting point is 00:18:06 Diddy, but no he just like keeps it in which appears intentional now Kanye doesn't really talk too too much about it He just says about the song that he was really excited about it because quote Everybody was very very energized about the elimination of Drake. You know, everybody was very very Excited about the elimination of Drake. You know, everybody was very very excited about the elimination of Drake. Yeah, people thought it was weird. Because he really wanted to get in on this like disfued and everyone's like, remember how Kanye tried to be a part of the fight
Starting point is 00:18:34 and everybody just ignored him? So that's pretty much what came of that. Now the next month, May 2024, CNN releases the Intercontinental Hotel video of Diddy physically assaulting Cassie. One month later, June of 2024, now by this point, there are around 70 civil lawsuits filed against Sean Combs. Whoa. Prior to his arrest. Right, okay, so that was the time that's like boom boom boom. Everything's dropping at once now There is now one high profile lawsuit filed against Kanye West June of 2024 a woman named Lauren Piscata files a lawsuit against Kanye West and this lawsuit will later be amended to involve Sean Combs
Starting point is 00:19:19 So at first she's just going over the lawsuit Lauren alleges that she's been in the entertainment industry for the past 15 years. So she's run into Kanye before. Now one day Kanye approaches her and asks her, do you want to work as my personal assistant? Which is like, I guess a cool job offer, but he also agrees to pay her a million dollars a year, which is insane. What?
Starting point is 00:19:39 So with that, Kanye is like, but the thing is Lauren, you got to be, I mean Lauren alleges, right? But the thing is you got to be available, quote, 24-7. Like a super personal assistant. Lauren states, by this point in her career, she had her own social media following. She even had an OF page, which she states Kanye knew about
Starting point is 00:19:57 and was completely okay with it. Actually, on the contrary, she alleges that sometimes at work, Kanye would brag to his friends that my personal assistant is,, an only fan superstar. But in 2022, that all changes. According to the lawsuit, Kanye tells Lauren to delete her only fans because he wants her to be quote, godlike. He even offers to pay her a million dollars to delete it. How long has she been with him since then?
Starting point is 00:20:24 A few years, I believe. When she deletes her OnlyFans, which she's making like a million dollars a year from it, Kanye never pays her. And that's when Kanye starts sending her these allegedly unwanted, unprompted, non-consensual offensive text messages and videos. So one example listed in the lawsuit, the text from Kanye to Lauren. Again, this is his personal assistant. This is his employee. He's also married to Bianca Sensori. I don't think at this point he was, but he will eventually be married to her as this progresses. Now, he would text her, sex workers always got the best
Starting point is 00:21:01 pee. It's their business. I don't know if he's trying to say that she has like the best private part. Another text message reads, one time I took a Viagra and Finae list celebrity for three hours, not sure why that thought came to me. He's just like texting her this. And she's like, I don't, why do I need to know this? I don't want to know this.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Another text says, I'm going to a living dog It out of this off the honey all her friends gonna need to find out where every that with me in love Well, first of all, like it doesn't really make the most sense And second of all he is sending this to his personal assistant Then another text message Lauren alleges in her lawsuit that was sent her reads I have a serious question be be honest with me, is my dick racist? Is it this fucking racist dick of mine? I'm going to beat this fucking racist dick for being fucking racist.
Starting point is 00:21:54 I'm gonna stare at pictures of white women with black asses and beat the shit out of my racist dick. This racist dick needs to be beaten till it can't be racist no more. Also disturbingly he texts her, hug please. And she says that he was absolutely, she alleges, he was absolutely one of those people that would ask for creepy hugs, unprompted, by all people. Now but it exponentially gets worse. If all of Lauren's allegations are true, because he proceeds to allegedly send her a video
Starting point is 00:22:27 of him having intimate relations with a model, and then sends this meme to clarify what he means by a hug. It's not a regular hug. It's a meme of a black man and a naked white woman hugging. Naked. Wait, he sends a video?
Starting point is 00:22:40 He sends a video of him having intimate relations with a model, and then he's like, oh yeah, by the way, this is what I mean by wanting a hug and it's like a naked black man a naked white woman and they're hugging and it's very clear That they're having intimate relations Okay, and he's like I need a hug What? Yeah, and so he's saying that's what he wants when he says he needs a hug He also proceeds to send another video of himself receiving oral activities from a model, and then he proceeds to ask Lauren
Starting point is 00:23:09 if he should edit the video because he wants to make sure that his private parts look large enough. In another alleged text message, he sends her a video of himself having intimate relations with a Yeezy employee, and then he asks her, what you think of this vid? Then he sends a cropped version of that video.
Starting point is 00:23:27 So it's the same video but he's just cropped it. And then he texts her, I edited lol. He later allegedly explains to Lauren that his private parts did not appear big enough for him to send this video to his friends. Which also makes you question, if this is true, who is he sending these videos to? Like what friends are receiving these videos yeah and do these women know that these videos are being sent now allegedly he also sends her another text message and it's actually a screenshot of a text message so imagine A and B are texting
Starting point is 00:23:59 screenshot and then A sends it to C Lauren Lauren is C, A is Kanye. Now, allegedly, Kanye had texted Bianca Sensori, his now wife, I came so hard, I love seeing your reaction while we f***. I want to f*** your mom before she leaves. Then another message from Kanye to allegedly Bianca, I want you to watch me f*** your mom. Anyway, he screenshots all of this and allegedly sends it to Lauren. Now, Lauren alleges a lot more detailed incidents in her lawsuit that Kanye was asking her to participate in three people activities. Another moment, Lauren alleges Kanye and Bianca Sensori
Starting point is 00:24:40 called her because they wanted to talk to her in great detail allegedly about the five-person activity that they just participated in the day prior. Sometimes Kanye would call her and she claims that he would be self-pleasuring while talking to her and he would constantly ask her over the phone, can you hear what I'm doing? Can you guess what I'm doing? What do you think I'm doing right now? Wow. Now in relation to the Sean Combs case, there's a few points in Lauren's lawsuit a lot of people are taking a closer look at now. One part of the lawsuit, Lauren alleges Kanye would send her text messages about his intimate life that then after I f***, I want a girl to tell me how hard they've been f***ed while I'm f***ing them, then I want her to cheat on me and go get f***ed with a bigger dick than mine and come back and tell me the story, then I want her to suck my dick with her best friend or option B, suck my dick with a bad bitch I'm fucking already.
Starting point is 00:25:46 I fucked then made her tell me how hard she been fucked while I was fucking her then went and fucked somebody else with a bigger dick behind my back and told me while I was fucking her. Now ain't that fucked. In another message he gets to the point a lot quicker and he texts her. Again without her consent she's his employee and it's alleged quicker and he texts her. Again, without her consent, she's his employee and it's alleged, but still, he texts, allegedly, I love when bitches get the shit out of them
Starting point is 00:26:11 and tell me about it while I fuck them. A lot of people have pointed out that it sounds like a similar cocky kink that Sean Combs has, so there's that. Further alleged in the lawsuit, Lauren states that Kanye sent her a 33-second video of a model that he was just having intimate relations with, and now this model is having intimate relations with an unidentified man that is not Kanye. Lauren further alleges in her lawsuit that she never wanted to see any of this. She wanted to just be professional.
Starting point is 00:26:56 However, Kanye would have her do all sorts of weird things. Like he would want her to go get this very specific honey that's used to enhance his male performance during intimate relations. She states that Kanye would make sure that she always had the honey on her person and whenever he needed it she would have to deliver it to him. This honey connection is intriguing because the same honey has been mentioned a few times throughout Sean Combs' trial. An assistant testified that he really liked having his vital honey around to help him keep up his intimate performance.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Really? It's the same product? Yes. Now, I will say it does seem to be like a thing that people think is like a home remedy to help with performance, like an aphrodisiac, I guess. So it's not just unique to them, but with all the other overlapping coincidences and connections between Kanye and Sean Combs' intimate life. It's interesting. Now this is in June of 2024. A few months later, she will amend
Starting point is 00:27:54 this lawsuit and interestingly enough, Lauren will actually name Sean Combs in the new amended lawsuit. A new amended part of the lawsuit reads that Lauren alleges that she was in the studio with Kanye and Sean Combs where drinks were served lauren drinks it and the lawsuit alleges that unbeknownst to the plaintiff the drink she was served was laced with an unidentified drug after a few small sips of the beverage she suddenly started to feel disoriented she alleges that she starts losing control over her body, her speech. She does not remember anything else from that night. Which there were a lot of
Starting point is 00:28:29 people that felt initially a little suspicious about it. They said, oh it's intriguing that she would amend the lawsuit a month after Sean Combs' arrest. It just feels convenient. It feels like, oh you know what, two birds one stone. That's what some people on the internet were alleging However, if you really dive deep into it that doesn't seem to be the case at all because after Lauren's Initial lawsuit in June way before Sean Combs gets arrested a woman by the name of Nikki Heaton Takes to Instagram live now Nikki Heaton was like a huge musician back then like she blew up She had a crazy viral song, and then she just disappeared. She like disappeared from the music industry. She goes on Instagram live and she says,
Starting point is 00:29:10 I was actually there that day. At this party? Yeah, so she's talking about this before Lauren like details it in the amended lawsuit, but she says that she was actually Lauren's client. Lauren was a manager for Nicki's music career when this is before Nicki fell out of music and this is before Lauren was hired as Kanye's personal assistant, like long before. Now she says, I was never actually gonna tell this story ever.
Starting point is 00:29:36 I was gonna go to my grave with this because in my perspective, it's like, what's the point? Who would believe me? What good would it do? I don't have proof, I'm not gonna file anything, but because of recent events and things that have come out quite recently I felt the need to come on here and you know my old manager Lauren has kind of been the whistleblower on the shit that he's done
Starting point is 00:29:56 I'm very proud of her like I'm very very proud of her Nikki says initially she wasn't gonna see any she wasn't gonna say anything until she went to all the comments of people talking about Lauren's lawsuit against Kanye West and people were calling Lauren a liar and saying that none of this is true, Lauren is trying to get money from Kanye, she's trying to get clout from Kanye and Nicki says it just made her so mad. She says quote, so basically I'm telling this story now because you guys know me, I don't give a f- I'm out of the industry, I left I'm in the middle of nowhere on a farm I'm not filing any sort of suit so I'm not getting any money from
Starting point is 00:30:29 this and she explains that when she started blowing up in the music industry Kanye invites her to the studio so she goes with her manager Lauren at the time and it's like a bunch of people there there's like nine women there and she says don't shoot the messenger but back then they were called studio hoops so these are women who come to the studio dressed in club wear and a lot of times they will leave with musicians that are in the studio and she says again that's just the terminology that was already in place it's not something that she's using no she says immediately we walk in and there's something not right so she says I was invited as a manager or as an artist. My manager shows up She thinks they're making music. So she's wearing
Starting point is 00:31:09 double XL sweatpants and a giant hoodie. She says I look like a slob Kanye and Sean Combs are there already out of their mind just drunk just completely drunk She gets handed a drink. She doesn't feel good about it So she takes like the tiniest slip and she doesn't really drink the rest. Wait, so it was a music studio Yes And Sean comb Diddy were there and nine girls nine other girls Diddy and Kanye were there. Maybe that's easier Yes, Diddy Kanye and nine other girls As well as like a few different male executives
Starting point is 00:31:43 Okay so there's like a lot of people there and she doesn't really drink it because she doesn't feel good about it and she starts panicking because she looks over and Lauren, her manager, is drinking the drink. So Nikki starts freaking out because she's like, okay, I don't, I just don't feel right about this situation, like what do I do? And she sees Lauren's face get really flush and she starts speaking really loudly, which is like that's not Lauren like Lauren is very shy She's very socially awkward and Nikki is like something weird is happening So whatever it's laced with is hitting her and then Lauren is like I gotta go to the bathroom and just like leaves Leaving Nikki to freak out so now she's in this room The other girls are quote dismissed and it's just Kanye and Diddy and three other guys that work with them I think one of them was like Kanye's cousin okay and she says she tries to walk out but Kanye and Diddy start approaching her and they're saying things like allegedly quote it's hot in
Starting point is 00:32:38 here don't you want to take off your clothes she alleges so they're coming towards me and they're trying to take my clothes off and Nikki explained she's trying to play it off But she's freaking out and Lauren her manager isn't there and she alleges quote They're getting to the point where they have ripped my shirt off and I'm almost fully exposed at this point They're both coming at me and I'm like you guys seriously. This isn't funny anymore and she sees a guy in the corner This is an executive that she's familiar with she says he's like 50 years old This is a grown man with a family.
Starting point is 00:33:05 And she's thinking, dude, I know you have a family. You know this isn't right. Do something. She says, as Kanye and Diddy allegedly try to take her clothes off, this man just spins his chair around so that he's not looking. And she says, that's when the fear starts setting in. No one's saving me tonight.
Starting point is 00:33:23 No one's gonna do anything. No one's gonna do anything. And one's gonna f**king do anything. And she says they rip her shirt off. They're trying to get her pants off. And she says, thankfully, because they're so drunk, she was able to push past them and book it out of there. And she ran into an empty studio. She was crying in the dark for like 30 minutes trying to get in contact with Lauren, who's
Starting point is 00:33:38 not responding. And she later states, Lauren was drugged and I wasn't. She further alleges, the alleges the other thing that really Fucked me is those nine other girls who were drinking the drinks before we even got there I know none of them got out. I know none of them got saved that night And I'm like did they even remember did they know what happened to them? That is crazy So she posts this video on Instagram. She was on Instagram live. Oh, okay. Talking about it.
Starting point is 00:34:10 A few days after Lauren's initial lawsuit. Wow. So if all of this is true, then it's likely that Lauren didn't really recall every like in vivid detail because she does state that she doesn't really recall what happened that night after she drank the Laced drinks, right? But it seems like Nikki telling her story maybe put two and two together. It's just, it's strange. Now July and August of 2024 are relatively quieter months for the two individuals Diddy and Kanye until September 16th, 2024. Combs Diddy is arrested. It seems like these events in 2024, it brings them together in a way that I don't know. Maybe we weren't expecting.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Maybe they were expecting it because now after Diddy's arrest, Kanye goes to war for Diddy, which is strange because yes, in 2024, both of them had bad years. Was it deserved? Probably. Perhaps. Absolutely. You decide. because yes in 2024 both of them had bad years. Was it deserved? Probably, perhaps, absolutely, you decide. But still objectively they were having very very bad years. And then all of a sudden Diddy gets arrested and it brings them together. And it's weird because before 2024 they didn't seem close. In fact just recently in 2022 Kanye West went on a whole public tirade against Diddy. To give you some context, there is an interview from 2020 where Kanye does an interview with
Starting point is 00:35:31 Drink Champs and in it he basically states, I don't got no celebrity friends because when I was on Instagram saying I don't know where my child is and the Kardashians kidnapped my daughter in public and I don't have the address to my child None of these wanted to say something now Travis gave me the address Travis Scott allegedly gave him the address what address to where his kids were oh But as far as Meek Mills puff daddy whoever none of them them fake hard Puff Daddy? Whoever? None of them. Them fake hard f**k you. All you fake hard f**k you.
Starting point is 00:36:07 You know what I'm saying? I don't give a f**k. Because you can't shoot nobody anyway. And the reason why you got to talk is because you did a deal. You f**king fed. He's calling Diddy a f**king fed. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's what you gotta come to me because part of your deal for you to be... So he's like saying like the deal that they got away with a bunch of stuff legally is because they're a fed now the irony is crazy huh
Starting point is 00:36:29 yeah he also texts Diddy those very choice words you you fed Kanye we know this we know this because Kanye screenshots this conversation and then posted immediately on his Instagram and all of this is because in 2022, Kanye and Diddy have a very public falling out because Kanye starts selling white lives matter t-shirts. Diddy allegedly reaches out to Kanye privately. He texts him and asks him, hey, can you stop? Which promptly Kanye texts back.
Starting point is 00:37:01 I didn't like our convo. I'm selling these teas. Nobody gets in between me and my money. This is my grandfather texting you now. Never call me with no bullsh** like that again unless you're ready to green light me because anybody who got on that tea is me out of respect for everything you've meant to me, I'll be quiet as Virgil. But now I know how I've hurt the people I love with threats
Starting point is 00:37:31 I'm so what's what the first of all what does green light mean? No, we don't know what any of this means. Yeah, okay Yeah, it doesn't seem to be like we're missing much context It just seems like you say I'm texting you as my grandpa now, or this is my grandpa. Okay. Yeah Yeah, then Kanye sends another one right next right underneath it that says, come do something illegal to me now, please. Kanye posted screenshot to Combs posted on Instagram with the caption, God is love. My brother misspoke to me, but I still love him. To which God is love. Yeah. And like at that time, did he was, did he himself love. Oh, and he said God is love. Yeah. What?
Starting point is 00:38:07 I don't know. We're so confused. And then he posted, and I'm assuming he posted in real time because Sean Combs immediately Diddy texts Kanye, as soon as I land, we'll meet face to face, send me an address. Kanye responds, fuck you, you fed, in all caps. And then post that as well on Instagram with the caption, Jesus is king. Then there's another text screenshot Kanye posts from Diddy to Kanye.
Starting point is 00:38:32 And Diddy says, Send me an address, let's stop playing these internet games, and don't feel threatened, you'll be fine, just love. To which Kanye responds, This ain't a game, I'mma use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me I told you this is war now go on and get you some business to which his new Instagram caption for this screenshot is Jesus is a Jew then another a screenshot of Diddy texting Kanye I'm just trying to talk to you as
Starting point is 00:39:02 a black man and I'm talking to you because this is hurting our people stop Kanye responds anything you text I will post I love you and you guys are breaking my heart I accept your apology in advance He does promptly post this on Instagram too with the caption. God is love this time in all caps So to say that they have a contentious strange friendship relationship is a bit of an understatement, but literally just a few months before all of this, a few months in 2022 before all of this happened, they were like best friends. Sean Combs Diddy won the BET Lifetime Achievement Award and Kanye is the one presenting it.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Oh. He says about Diddy rather dramatically, how do we crown our kings? How do we crown our kings? How do we appreciate our kings? This is my favorite artist. You see what I'm saying? Favorite artist. Everything. And he broke all the rules. He broke down the doors and understood contracts
Starting point is 00:39:56 in a way a lot of us don't. Understood money in a way a lot of us still don't. I go for him to advice for this day. He inspired so many of my choices. So many of my life choices, my wife choices. And here we are. Thank you for that, Puff. Any of us in this room, if Puff ever need us, we need to jump up and be there. Wild. He said, if Puff needs us, we need to jump up and be there. Yeah, and then a few months-
Starting point is 00:40:16 And nobody showed up. No. A few months later, he crashes out, calls Sean Combs a freaking fed. But perhaps they just have a volatile relationship, which I mean, I don't think would be different from any other relationship Sean Combs seems to have. They all seem to be rather volatile. Now, three years after calling Diddy a fed, Kanye will show up to the Manhattan federal courthouse
Starting point is 00:40:41 to support Diddy, and his timing is so strange. But I first, I need to catch you up to speed of what happens after Diddy's arrest to the point of Kanye showing up to the Manhattan courthouse because it's, it's strange, but it's not necessarily like the most surprising thing because I mean, if you just look at it, you're like, oh, he called Kanye a fed. But then when you deep dive into the lore, as much as 2024 was a bad year for both of them, 2025 was also very strange. Sean Combs is sitting in prison February of 2025, so this is 3 months until the Combs
Starting point is 00:41:15 trial kicks off. Kanye states on Twitter that he's going to be selling Sean John merch, and that he is going to be splitting the profits 50-50 with Sean Combs with Diddy and it's just like red blue and white shirts that read Sean John and like most things Kanye has been doing recently literally not a single person asked for any of this each shirt was going to be $30 there were up on his easy website it's not available anymore thank God but a bunch of netizens were just so grossed out commenting, hello nurse, another one has escaped.
Starting point is 00:41:48 Others are commenting, when will everyone realize that this man is not a good person? It's crazy how he does all this nasty stuff and no one says anything about it, but imagine if a woman did it, everyone would be so pissed. Do you wonder how many people actually buy that? Like Sean, John shirt in 2025? I feel like a lot of people probably did. That's insane. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:11 What? Some people said, actually, you got it incorrectly and they just posted their idea of Sean John merch, which just includes orange prison jumpsuits, to which somebody clearly is using Diddy's Instagram because they reposted ited so they've since deleted it But Diddy's official Instagram page did post the collaboration and it was captioned. Thank you to my brother at yay Yeah
Starting point is 00:42:36 Okay, it was deleted Kanye also went on to X Twitter X right to right I just found out that puff is not allowed to make or collect money while he's locked up. So I'm gonna send his half of the money to Justin. Justin as in Justin Combs, his firstborn child. Justin Combs also posted the Sean John collab to his Instagram, which was now deleted. The post was. So that's February of 2025. That same month, Kanye goes on to tweet at Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Please free my brother Puff. So there's that. And then there's another merch drop and this one is um okay so remember the CNN hotel footage of Sean Combs diddy assaulting Cassie. In that video Cassie is wearing a hoodie. It's a black hoodie with four M's in the back that are connected. This hoodie is actually from Kanye's album merch from 2015. So, you know, she was wearing it around that time, but it's from his album that's called So Help Me God. And according to Kanye fans, he would mainly sell this hoodie at his shows during that time. Like, you can't really buy it anytime now. And it's, if you're like a diehard Kanye fan,
Starting point is 00:43:47 this is like one of the hoodies that you really foam at the mouth for. Like you really want this hoodie. Allegedly he even had it tattooed on himself, like the logo of the four M's connected, tattooed on his body at one point, though I believe it's either covered up or removed at this point.
Starting point is 00:44:00 And apparently a lot of fans really want to get their hands on this hoodie. And then 2025 Kanye tweets, the love hoodie is available now and it's that hoodie from So Help Me God. But here's the weird thing. Why is he calling it the love hoodie? And when he posts this on Twitter, he posts two pictures for this merch drop. One of them is of the hoodie and the second one is a screenshot of the CNN hotel assault video where diddy is standing in a hotel like in a towel in the hotel hallway approaching Cassie. Cassie is bent over grabbing her purse and on the back of her hoodie you can see the emblem Wow
Starting point is 00:44:51 So this hoodie was originally coveted by OG fans Like I said who knew of the album also another sideboard is that album was scrapped So it's more coveted because it's like, okay It didn't even like fully come into fruition It feels like a discontinued something like it feels very niche and a lot of people are commenting So it's more coveted because it's like, okay, it didn't even like fully come into fruition It feels like a discontinued something like it feels very niche and a lot of people are commenting like I wanted this for the longest time Why the f*** did I have to come out under these circumstances? Others are saying literally I told my friend I wanted this a couple months back and now I can never purchase something like this because of this reason
Starting point is 00:45:21 Others are saying I mean I was kind of excited until I realized why he's dropping this. Why is he human scum? Then March 15th of 2025, so this is two months before the trial kicks off. It does indeed get worse. Kanye releases yet another song. This one is titled, Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine,
Starting point is 00:45:44 featuring his own daughter, Northwest, but also Diddy and Diddy's son, Christian Combs. Now by the way, Northwest is just 11 years old at this point. Nothing in this song is particularly vulgar, however it's questionable because both Diddy and Christian Combs are facing essay allegations. Combs is literally on trial for sex trafficking. Christian has a lawsuit, which it's unclear if it's been settled, but to even- why bring your 11-year-old daughter into this? Also, the fact that the whole world is looking at Diddy,
Starting point is 00:46:16 not in a positive light at the very least. He's a known abuser, he's violent, and he wants his daughter to be in a song with him? It doesn't make sense. Like, would it not be in a father's best interest to make sure that their child is not around the influence of these types of people Additionally Kanye is planning on hanging out with the Tate brothers after recording this song while he's with Northwest It's alleged that Kim Kardashian had to pull a bunch of strings to pick up Northwest to make sure that she did not run into
Starting point is 00:46:42 the Tate brothers But also Kanye accuses Kim of being a sex trafficker. So it's like all sorts of messiness, which side note, if you're wondering how Diddy was featured on the song, it's a jail call that he had with Kanye that Kanye recorded and it's like the intro. So remember how back then people would put voicemails into their intro? Yeah, well, he's doing that in 2025, but make it MDC correctional facility. And Christian Combs' verses read,
Starting point is 00:47:09 Money, power, respect, still the key to life. Again, against the darkness, I can see the light. Look in the mirror, have visions of sane puff, about willpower, caramel-colored skin, came from God, that's the real power we ain't had our kingdom we built ours built different walk different feel different put the whole world against me I'ma keep the same face I wanted all the real love the vacate the headlines gonna still say vacate the throne young I'm home still fly like di ddy close your eyes you don't want to see me fly, I can't wait to see their face when we collide.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Northwest lines include, doing everything I wanted, that's the key to life, surrounded by fake friends I don't even like, when you see me shining then you see the light, everything they know, it ain't even right, okay goodnight. A lot of netizens, again, they don't think that the lyrics themselves are particularly vulgar but it's just very disappointing with people writing aligning his own daughter with his Diddy crusade is just pure unfiltered nasty work genuinely just dark sh** another one reads
Starting point is 00:48:18 removing the implications from the song the song itself is still barren just sh** rapping robotic singing and combs and kanya groaning down a phone to each other. Another one just reads, King Koms might be the worst rapper ever. Another netizen theorizes, I bet Diddy has a tape of Ye doing something horrible or unspeakable because no way Ye is gonna do a diss track on Drake for being a PDF file and then turn around and do a song with Puffy. March 17th, so a few days after, so again two months before the trial, the jailhouse call between Sean Combs, Diddy and Kanye gets leaked by the shade room. I mean Kanye recorded it
Starting point is 00:48:54 but shade room broke it I guess. What's true and you think? Yeah and so it's just Diddy trying to motivate Kanye. He's like I'm gonna tell you the real from the front line. It's wicked wicked wicked so you be Kanye. He's like, I'm gonna tell you the real from the front line. It's wicked, wicked, wicked. So you be careful. We need you out there. You feel me? He's like encouraging Kanye to get back in the studio.
Starting point is 00:49:11 He says, when I get out, I need to see you performing. And I'm like, sir, you're facing life. I don't know if you're gonna get out, but I digress, we don't know, right? Now Sean Combs tells Kanye to get back in the studio, have fun, do all of these things. And he's like, we gotta keep the frequency high, like the energy high. He's just like motivating Kanye while Kanye is just responding like, yes sir, to which
Starting point is 00:49:33 someone comments online, humans are amazing. The ability to uplift someone when you're clearly going through your own personal struggle is the ultimate level of humanity. Others agree, but not in the same way. They state, great message, devilish messenger. Another one writes, the amount of people in this comment section that's praising Diddy is the reason why he never got caught before now because he's quote such a good guy for saying one thing motivational, shaking my head Jesus Christ. Another one
Starting point is 00:50:01 reads, listening to Diddy about having fun is the last piece of advice i would take, respectfully. another one just reads, we seriously do not give a f***, literally. then almost immediately after, some netizens start saying that khanye had put the k in kkk, which is absolutely unhinged and i was like, what does that even mean? and then you see that he does an interview where he is wearing a custom leather black KKK rope he also mentions he has a white version like with the hood and everything and before he changes into that he was wearing a Sean John shirt what is going on he changes into the leather outfit and he tells the person interviewing him you know the funny thing is I really wanted
Starting point is 00:50:43 to wear it yesterday but I thought that they would put me in the hospital in this outfit. Like they would put me in the hospital for my outfit. Like he's trying to express that's crazy, that that's how the world works and I don't know people are just trying to express it's actually not that crazy. He also goes on to say about Kim Kardashian, so this white woman and this white family have the control of these highly influential black kids that are half of the children of Ye. So he's saying it's because Kim Kardashian and her family have control over their children? That's just in everybody's face and like they was playing in my face like that. He also alleges that powerful people were behind CNN's release of the hotel video of Sean Combs assaulting Cassie. He starts connecting it with him and Adidas having a falling out and he says that
Starting point is 00:51:33 Adidas is, he alleges that Adidas did everything in their power to take him down after their falling out. He's basically saying that the people who run these massive corporations, it's like a different level of power and like it's a different level of games and Some people actually do believe in this conspiracy Sean Combs Diddy sued Massive alcohol brand. This is like a huge company. I mean you think Diddy's rich He's not rich compared to this company they own a lot of the major alcohol brands it's called Diageo that's the brand they own Siroc they own
Starting point is 00:52:10 Deleon tequila with Diddy I think they bought George Clooney's tequila brand they own I think Johnny Walker I mean they own they've got their hands all over the alcohol industry he sues them for racism and they settle he gets a huge payday like like $200 million. Diddy does. And it seems like a lot of people are saying that Diageo didn't like that because they paid Diddy like nearly a billion dollars throughout their Sirocco partnership and for him to turn around and accuse them of racism, whether it be true or not, I guess to them it pissed them off, is what is being alleged. And so it seems like the allegation is maybe
Starting point is 00:52:45 they had connections with the feds and we're like maybe you should look into this guy maybe they had connections with the CNN release of the hotel footage these are like crazy conspiracies but it still doesn't negate the fact that there is a hotel footage of him assaulting Cassie like it doesn't really matter who released it I think I mean the fact that that video happened, it doesn't matter. It's how it's released. He still decided to assault Cassie. Kanye alleges they pulled out a video with him and Cassie from 10 years ago and then it made everyone be like, oh well, Puff's a woman beater so he's the devil, he needs to be in jail, right? And I'm like, right, but he continues.
Starting point is 00:53:27 And he says, meanwhile, I don't know somebody who hasn't gotten into an altercation with their girl at one point. He'll, yeah. Did he just rat himself out? He starts ratting out other people too. He says, so you got these three, watch this. You got Cardi, Playboy Cardi, I think he's saying,
Starting point is 00:53:44 Puffy, Kendrick. He's insinuating that all three of them are quote, woman beaters. I don't know, I don't know. I'm not like deep into Playboy Cardi or Kendrick's lore. I don't think that, I mean, I imagine if there was proof we would have, I would know about it.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Like everyone would be talking about it, right? So I don't know, I don't know. But he says they are they are women beaters and then he says then you got the two pedophiles Drake and R Kelly so puffy and R Kelly are in jail This is what Kanye is saying with Drake five years from now or however long when they feel like they really want to get that Boy up and out of here. They're gonna play the Kendrick song feel like they really want to get that boy up and out of here, they're gonna play the Kendrick song. So he's alleging that in like five years or so, whenever the executives of these massive companies are over these people, they're just gonna release information and get them in trouble. He continues, so that's how far they're going. The Kendrick mix with Universal.
Starting point is 00:54:42 All that takedown of Drake reminds me of the No Diddy campaign for Diddy, they going all out. Yeah. Then after, immediately a month after, just one month before the trial for Sean Combs kicks off, Kanye releases another song, I mean unrelated, I hope, but it's titled Cousins. He posted on X and he says, this song is called cousins about my cousin that's locked up in jail for life for killing a pregnant lady a few years after I told him that we wouldn't look at dirty magazines together anymore. perhaps in my self-centered mess
Starting point is 00:55:17 I felt it was my fault that I showed him those dirty magazines when he was six and then we acted out what we saw. my dad had playboy magazines, but the magazines I found in the top of my mom's closet were different. My name is Ye, and I sucked my cousin's dick until I was 14. What? The song itself is as bad as you can imagine. The lyrics read, hanging with my cousin, reading dirty magazines. We seen two kissing.
Starting point is 00:55:47 We ain't know what that means. Then we start reenacting everything we had seen. That's when I gave my cousin head. To which one top netizen comment just reads, What a horrible day to know how to read. Another one reads, Alright, so I hate having a phone now. then the same, right at the start of diddy's trial, same month, may of 2025, so last month. kanyé, he doesn't really release it.
Starting point is 00:56:17 the album is leaked on discord. this is allegedly kanyé's newest album that he's been working on. A few notable titles for tracks read Diddy Free, Cosby, Free My Kids, and then I mean a ton of super heinous titles unrelated to this case like just really yeah but the title of the album is called Cuck But the title of the album is called Kuck. Wow. And apparently he was going to spell it C-U-K-K-K. So that's interesting. I don't know what the coincidence is there, but he has since taken to Twitter to say that he may change the album name to A Perfect World, which is also still weird.
Starting point is 00:56:58 But what does that have to do with him showing up to support Diddy during his trial? And the timing of him coming to the courthouse is all very strange. So Friday, this is the day after. Thursday is the day where everyone is like, what's going on in the robing room? Diddy's freaking out? He looks mad. They have that little huddle. Everyone's like maybe something happened. Maybe it's this maybe it's that maybe Kanye's coming to the courthouse Guess what Kanye doesn't come to the courthouse on Thursday at least not that we see But the lists were started the day before. Yes. Now Friday is the day after Now Thursday is also interesting because
Starting point is 00:57:46 that was the last day that Jane was on the stand. So Thursday is all Jane and that's when the rumors are happening and then Jane leaves. Friday, she's no longer here. It's going to be, quote, a slower day in court, which I know it sounds strange, but you can actually feel the energy shift on slower days. Like it's just different because you don't have a lot of emotional testimonies. Like you'll have Homeland Security agents come in. So obviously the case is still very serious, but it's not going to be as emotionally traumatizing to listen to the testimonies. Now a Homeland Security agent comes in and he is one of the members who raided Sean Combs' Miami mansion. Before he comes into the courtroom, however, before the jurors are seated, before the judge is on the bench, the prosecution team wheeled in a shopping cart
Starting point is 00:58:32 with these like long cardboard boxes. They're similar to like the plank of wood. Inside are guns, assault-style rifles found in Combs' mansion with the serial numbers scratched off, which by the way, that alone is a federal crime to have any firearms with defaced serial numbers, but that's not the point that Mark Agnifilo cares about. He's upset because, well, first of all, they're bringing the freaking guns in. Okay, they're gonna take the guns out, they're gonna show the jurors the guns, they're gonna hold the guns up, put a whole show on with these assault style rifles in the courtroom. I mean they're zip-tied of course so that you can't accidentally pull the trigger,
Starting point is 00:59:08 not that anyone would, but just in case. So he's gonna whip out these jet-mat black rifles and he's gonna hold it up for the jurors to see. And aside from that, Special Agent Lamon is going through photo after photo with the jurors to show just like the sheer amount of baby oil and astroglide that was found in the house. I mean, it's just so much astroglides, so much. There's pallets of astroglide, there's baby oil. Like, you know how people display expensive bottles of alcohol?
Starting point is 00:59:37 But that's how Sean Combs would just display his baby oil, just Johnson & Johnson baby oil, like a high-end retail store. They're spaced out like something you would see in like the MoMA Museum. Special Agent Lemone says, yeah we found about 900 or so bottles of Astraglide that was seized by Homeland Security. Mark Agnifilo is riled up doing the cross-examination. I honestly I don't know why he's so riled up. Okay, this is weird. Everyone noticed that Mark Agnifilo seems so on edge for no reason because this agent is not really saying anything particularly shocking.
Starting point is 01:00:10 Yeah. It just seemed like he was riled up about something else. That just made it more plausible because even the special agent is looking at Mark Agnifilo smiling like, are you good? Because I'm sure this special agent testifies a lot. Because when you're involved in any sort of raid and it goes to trial someone's gonna get subpoenaed you kind of know the drill and it's like bro why are you freaking out I don't even know the case like that like I was just at the raid. Mark Agnifilo is jumping up and down trying to do the cross-examination and you said you're with the human trafficking and smuggling unit what is that? It's a group. Okay and in your 60 or so search warrant executions as part of the human trafficking and smuggling unit? What is that? It's a group. Okay, and in your 60
Starting point is 01:00:45 or so search warrant executions as part of the human trafficking and smuggling investigation group, how many times have you recovered Astraglide? One? Other than this day? No, this is the only time. The only time, right? How about baby oil? Tell the jury all the human trafficking and smuggling investigation search warrants that you conducted when you walked out with boxes of baby oil. This is the only one. That's what I thought. The judge tells Mark Agnifilo, no comments during his cross please.
Starting point is 01:01:12 You can only ask questions. You shouldn't be commenting. That's what I thought. But that's not why Mark Agnifilo says he's riled up. He says he's not losing his mind over Astroglide. The main issue he says is that Homeland Security is not the FBI. So here's a discrepancy. Homeland Security, when the FBI they raid a place, it's typically more protocol for them to take pictures
Starting point is 01:01:35 of evidence and detailed pictures of where they find said evidence. So that it's more likely that they will have evidence markers and they log each picture and they log each thing. Homeland security, when they go and raid a place, they only have two purposes for the raid because they're homeland security. One, make sure there's anybody inside and make sure that they're secure and okay. And two, make sure that all weapons are secured because it's homeland security. They're not here at logging every detail. And Mark Agnifilo tells the judge, this is when the witness and the jury are not present,
Starting point is 01:02:10 I wanna know exactly where the guns were. I don't wanna start playing Russian roulette with guns, which is why you play Russian roulette, but I don't wanna do that. It's risky and unnecessary. So he's like making jokes, but he's riled up. I want a lot better than that. I wanna know where the guns were when the agents came.
Starting point is 01:02:27 Because none of the agents know where they found the guns. Because he's saying it could have been in the gun safe in the security room. Which it doesn't really matter where the guns were because you still defaced the serial numbers. Which is like such a federal crime. It's not about where the guns were that's the problem. It's the fact that they had defaced serial numbers. But I I digress Mark Agnifilo is like losing his marbles. These are guns This is not like if they don't know where they got the baby oil
Starting point is 01:02:52 That's fine. If they don't know where they got the astroglide. That's fine. I'm not objecting to that I don't know where they got the astroglide fine great Where was it when you saw the astroglide no you don't know no prop up but the guns he's like how do you not know where the guns were what points he trying to make why is he arguing that just trying to argue anything yeah it seems like he's trying to put it on combs a security team oh yeah he's trying to be like can we just know where we got the gun so we can be like Sean combs didn't know that they had defaced serial numbers.
Starting point is 01:03:25 That's kind of the vibe it's giving, but is that really what Mark Agnevolo is upset about? People in the pews do not think so because all morning, weird stuff has been happening. Lots of up and downs. Like all morning, and I thought this was so strange, okay? There was lots of passing of notes that I was like illegal okay not illegal but I was like this is weird so at one point Sean Combs keeps writing notes to attorney Xavier Donaldson who's sitting in front of him and he's like physically getting up
Starting point is 01:04:00 passing notes just like in the middle of testimonies in the middle of like morning sessions of everything just like getting, passing a note to Donaldson, Donaldson will pass a note back. And then at one point, Sean Combs turns around and there's a US Marshal sitting right behind him. He passes something or like says something to a US Marshal. That US Marshal nods, gets up, leaves the courtroom, and then I look and almost instantly after Diddy's best friend gets up and leaves the courtroom. So we I look, and almost instantly after, Diddy's best friend gets up and leaves the courtroom. So we're all like, that is weird, and we thought it was very sus, until later we find out it's
Starting point is 01:04:33 not that sus, okay? They come back in later. And then in the middle of the testimony, Brian Steele and Xavier Donaldson are getting up, they're leaving the courtroom. And then at one point, Brian Steele and Nicole Westmoreland and Donaldson are getting up and leaving the courtroom and then at one point they're calling Christian Combs Quincy like just every like the sons are getting it's just What is happening at this point?
Starting point is 01:04:57 Like it's so much activity happening on this side of the courtroom and the press pews are just like what is going on? Because clearly something's going on. Like the energy is weird. So this is in the middle of the- Testimony. Like Mark Agnifilo is riled up like, we don't care about the astroglide, where'd you get the guns?
Starting point is 01:05:17 And then like everybody's in and out of the courtroom and you're just like, what's happening? Why is Mark Agnifilo so pent up about something? And then all these attorneys are moving weirdly, like they've never done this before. And that is when we get the news. It's like, I, again, I don't know how, who, but the person next to me, a senior reporter,
Starting point is 01:05:38 literally turns to me and goes, hey, either you or your researcher go down to the overflow room." And I said, what? And he's like, Kanye's here. And so we're like, what the? Okay, so my researcher decides, I'm like, you got to go because one of us has to stay in the main courtroom.
Starting point is 01:05:55 You got to go and catch Kanye and see what's going on. Half the press pews get up and as quietly as possible, they leave the courtroom and make a run for the elevator. My researcher was telling me, no, it was crazy. Like everyone's just like pressing the elevator and she's like, you know what? Let me just take the stairs. So, okay, there are overflow rooms and it's another courtroom. But instead of people in the front, you just have TVs. And you're watching the cameras, the live feed of the actual main courtroom.
Starting point is 01:06:28 And you sit in the pews. And so they're like, we gotta go to the overflow rooms. And we don't know why Kanye is gonna be in the overflow room, but I'm gonna explain later. So they're saying it's gonna be an overflow room 24A. That's what all the members of the press were told. I don't know who told everybody this, but everyone was under the impression 24A.
Starting point is 01:06:45 So we're on the 26th floor, everybody's running to 24A. My researcher is like, we're booking it. They get to 24A packed. Packed with people. Packed with press pews. Court employees are there, like people that work in the courthouse, that have nothing to do with the Sean Combs case, at least, I don't know if they do have anything to do with the Sean Combs case,
Starting point is 01:07:04 but she was saying like it was packed. So everyone's trying to play it chill so that none of the court officers get upset with them and they're sitting in the overflow room 24A and they're like huh five minutes passed, ten minutes passed, and she's like no something's not right. And then so she leaves, books it down to 23a. There's like a secondary overflow room That's not open a lot of the time is what she was saying Like the other press members were explaining these days as the trial is wrapping up Not a lot of people are coming. So they really only need like one overflow room
Starting point is 01:07:36 So it seems like not a lot of people are in 23a, but apparently right when she gets there Kanye had just left So they had ushered Kanye to 23A instead of 24A, which was where most of the press was waiting for Kanye. A few members of the press were already in 23A, or some of them had seen him go in and assumed he was going into 23A. I don't know where they got that intel. So there were a few that saw Kanye in 23A,
Starting point is 01:08:02 but my researcher said that she's talking to the members of the press that saw Kanye, and they said but my researchers said that she's talking to the members of the press that saw Kanye, and they said he apparently walked into the overflow room, walked up to the TV monitor that shows what's going on in the courtroom, and at this point it's no longer the Homeland Security agent that's testifying, it's Jonathan Perez, which is a former employee of Sean Combs, a personal assistant. He walks up, stares at it intently for a brief moment, he's there with Christian Combs, a personal assistant. He walks up, stares at it intently for a brief moment. He's there with Christian Combs. So the sun's had left. He's there with Christian Combs and a bodyguard.
Starting point is 01:08:34 They look at the screen and then he just like leaves. So there's that. Now briefly, yes. And it does seem like everyone was misled and taken to 24A on purpose is the vibe that my researcher got because while they were sitting there, the door opens, Donaldson and West Money, Westmoreland walk in and they just like, look, and then they leave. So just felt like it felt like everyone was the attention was diverted. Okay. So, okay. like everyone was the attention was diverted. Okay so okay few questions. Why did Kanye leave so quickly? Like why did he show up two seconds? Leave. Yeah okay we're gonna get into all of those
Starting point is 01:09:15 conspiracies but online reports say that he was in the courthouse for about 30 minutes. I will say that he was probably in the overfill room for, I mean, we spoke to the members of the press that were in that room and they said he was in there for like two minutes. So much of the time that he was in the actual courthouse was probably going through security and then it said that he was talking to Christian Combs and Combs' best friend. He's there every day. Sometimes he falls asleep. You remember that, best friend? They were talking. Yeah, Ciarlucci. So they were talking in like the hallways and then eventually they made their way to the overflow room and then he was like I
Starting point is 01:09:51 gotta go so it's just very interesting and his timing is interesting to everyone because most of combs's family and friends pews it was the most packed during the beginning of the trial opening statements Cassie's testimony everybody's packed in there like sardines. If there was any moment in time to support Diddy, it was at that point. But he is coming after Jane's testimony, after one of the last major witnesses gets off the stand. And it's interesting because he comes on Friday, Jane's last day testifying was on Thursday. And Thursday was when all the rumors came about that Kanye's coming to the courthouse, right?
Starting point is 01:10:28 Thursday, Jane also talks about Kanye in her testimony. What do you mean? Allegedly, okay? Now, yeah. Thursday, Tenny Garagos is questioning Jane Doe for the last time. Very last day. And to give you some context, Jane Doe had been testifying for the past few days that from November of 2023, which is when Cassie's lawsuit dropped, to February of 2024, she and Sean Combs were on a break.
Starting point is 01:10:59 They were broken up. So on January of 2024, she ends up going on a trip to Las Vegas with her friend. Penny asks her, so you went to Las Vegas with your friends on a very successful rapper's private plane, right? Yes. It was for that rapper's girlfriend's birthday? Yes. Okay, and that rapper, fair to say, is a rapper who is very close to Mr. Combs. Yes. Jang testifies that while on this trip she runs into an entertainer that Diddy would frequently call to have hotel nights with her. His name is Anton. Did you know prior that Anton had a relationship with of some sort with this rapper and his girlfriend or wife? He had briefly mentioned it in the past, yes. And he would travel with them? Yes. And so you understood that Anton would be around them
Starting point is 01:11:47 sometimes, right? Yes. Did you know if Mr. Combs knew that? Yes. So she says that she goes to Las Vegas with her friend on this rapper's private plane. They go to dinner for the unnamed rapper's wife's birthday. Anton is there.
Starting point is 01:12:02 Who invited her? Her friend, Jane's friend. Now, Jane is a little bit surprised to see Antoine there, but nevertheless, they hugged, they're cordial, and after dinner, Tenny is like, okay, so at what point after dinner, like, what did you guys do? And Jane says, well, we went to a play, then we went to dinner, and then we went to a strip club, and then we went back to the hotel room. You remember walking into the hotel room, then Anton was having sex with a woman and everybody was watching, right?
Starting point is 01:12:30 Yes. How many people were in the room? I would say maybe seven or eight people total. Where was the hotel? What hotel was this? I want to say it was like the Encore in Vegas. Were Anton and that woman on the bed or what area of the room were they in? Yes, they were on the bed. And everybody was just watching them? Were they talking? Was their music
Starting point is 01:12:51 playing? What was going on? Just watching. Jane states that she and the other rapper, allegedly Kanye, were flirting a little bit. Jane was flirting with Kanye? The unnamed rapper. So the reason that everybody is putting two and two together is because, well, first of all, Bianca Sensori is Kanye's wife, and Bianca Sensori's birthday is in January, and January of 2024, they were in Las Vegas celebrating her birthday, and they were staying at the Wynn Hotel, which is right next to the En, it's owned by the same company. Yeah. I mean, like it's pretty clear to many netizens, they believe it's like, there's no other, yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:13:33 I mean, they try to run a bunch of different rappers through and they're like, it really only works with Kanye. Okay. Like nobody else fits all of these criteria for this testimony. Now, Jane states that she and the other rapper allegedly Kanye are flirting a little bit and there was flirtatious banter where Jane Flash her breasts towards the rapper allegedly Kanye and others in the room who asked you to flash her breasts to the room I think just in the moment just we were all hanging out and I don't know in the moment
Starting point is 01:14:03 Okay, what did the rapper say to you when you guys were flirting? I think he said something along the lines of that he thought he always thought I was beautiful and he always wanted to blank me Okay, he had basically the rapper basically told you in the moment that he always had a crush on you. Yes Okay, and do you remember when you were in Las Vegas and you were in that hotel room with that rapper and Anton and other People who were there that you also... Do you remember if you brought Cabral up as well? So Cabral is another entertainer and Teni is like, Jane, did you bring up Cabral?
Starting point is 01:14:33 Did you talk about Cabral in this hotel room? And Jane's like, yes. How did you bring him up? They were asking me if I knew anybody else in the lifestyle and that they were looking for someone and so I reached out to Cabral because asking me if I knew anybody else in the lifestyle and that they were looking for someone and so I reached out to Cabral because you know at the time if I were to recommend somebody I would recommend somebody that I've kind of known for a while
Starting point is 01:14:56 Now Jane testifies all of this on the stand on Thursday The same day that there are rumors that Kanye is in New York City and is trying to get into the Diddy courtroom The same day that Jane is finishing her testimony regarding this unnamed rapper. So for whatever reason, perhaps Kanye wasn't there that day in the courtroom, it's just a rumor. Perhaps prosecutors refused to let him in the building because it could be considered intimidating a witness if he is truly the unnamed rapper. Or perhaps he himself decided not to come in. We don't know. Kanye West ultimately is a no-show on Thursday, but he ends up coming on Friday for like two seconds. So that doesn't explain still the question of, wait why did he come? And also why is he in the overflow room? And also what is the defense doing right now? Because after all this happened,
Starting point is 01:15:46 Mark Agnifilo tells the judge that he wants this unnamed rapper to be named. He says, so the event that we're talking about in January of 2024 took place behind closed doors in a hotel room, but there were many people. There were other people there. One of the concerns that we have, and this is a concern of constitutional dimension, we believe is part of the reason a trial is... I sound
Starting point is 01:16:09 like I'm being rhetorical but I'm making this point for a reason. Part of the reason that trials are fully public is so if other people realize they know something about an event that's discussed in a public courtroom, they could come forward and they could share whatever their recollection is about it. Now that typically doesn't happen, but it does happen from time to time, and I know that was one of our objections when we objected to the witness who went under the name Mia, you know, that there's going to be other people who might have information about this. And it's the same with the event in the hotel room.
Starting point is 01:16:38 And I think it's kind of the practical side of the constitutional right to the public trial that it's public for a reason and the facts are public for a reason and the names are public. He's basically saying name the unnamed rapper. Why is that good for them to do that? There's no, we don't know for sure. The speculation amongst a lot of people was that it would not probably shed the best light onto Jane. It might make her appear like she is chasing celebrities and chasing a specific lifestyle. And then the second thing is it could be almost insinuated,
Starting point is 01:17:15 well, this is just Hollywood. And when you're in Hollywood, this is just how people do it and you know what you're getting into when you date people in Hollywood. I see. Because I mean, Kanye is a huge name in Hollywood, right? Yeah. So it would maybe make that point.
Starting point is 01:17:29 Now, the judge asks prosecutor Comey if she has anything to add, to which she responds, as long as your honor's ruling remains no, otherwise I would want to respond. But I don't think there's a reason to change your honor's ruling. The suggestion that they need to say these names in order to get some sort of information from the public appears to be nothing more than a pretense in attempt to harass and intimidate this witness. With that, the judge agrees with Comey, and the unnamed rapper will be unnamed, at least in the courtroom, because online, he has been named up and down, allegedly it's Kanye. But it's still very intriguing that Mark wants this unnamed rapper to be named. Now we kind of have the theories of some of that but like why is he there and why wasn't he allowed in the main courtroom and why did he only stay for two seconds? He wasn't
Starting point is 01:18:13 allowed in the main courtroom? Okay this is the weird part. Diddy has a friends and family list. Now it does have to get approved so you can't just put anybody on there but it does have to get approved. So you can't just put anybody on there. But it does have to get approved. But once you're approved, you can kind of come and go out of that courtroom as you please. As long as your name is on the list. So it's not like, oh, you have to show up in the morning at a certain time. Like these people are not public and press. Like we got to show up at a certain time in the morning to get in. But with his friends and family, I many sons come late every single day?
Starting point is 01:18:45 Ah, that makes sense. Right? So it's like, why was Kanye not on the friends and family list? Some say maybe they try to get him on the list, but the prosecutors wouldn't allow it. Now, I don't know if I believe this theory because Cagliucci, this is Sean Combs' best friend who's in the courthouse every single day, he was like talking to a reporter outside and he's asked, was Kanye on the list? And he was like, yeah, he was, sort of. And it's just like, what does that even mean?
Starting point is 01:19:13 How are you sort of on a list? You're either on the list or you're not on the list, right? And I imagine if the prosecutors do not allow him on the list, I mean, people would be talking about it. Diddy's camp would have it out there. They would be talking to, I don't know, probably Fresh and Fit, and then he'd probably yap about it, and be like, okay, yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:34 The prosecutors are being mean, and they're saying, oh, your friend's a celebrity? Your friend can't support you? Like, I think we would know if the prosecutors didn't allow Kanye West to be on the list, or if the judge didn't allow it. I feel like that's something that they would want out there to be like hey world Did he sad because his friends can't come support him. They're not letting anybody support him They're like suppressing this like it would be a thing What a lot of people think is that did he's defense team will not put him on the list
Starting point is 01:20:06 Because Kanye West it doesn't matter who on this planet you talk to most people know Kanye West and most people know that he's So crazy anti-semitic and there seems to be a few Jewish members of the jury mmm, and so to have him in the friends and family pew would probably be heinous. That makes sense. Okay, I see. And it gives me, and then I was watching the video of Christian Combs like coming in and dapping up Kanye outside the courthouse, it was giving, and then the way that they're like going in and out of the courtroom, the main courtroom, it kind of gives me
Starting point is 01:20:47 damage control. It's like send Christian out there, send Donaldson out there, send Charlochi out there, calm Kanye down and say, they're not letting you in the courtroom. Oh, wait, like, thank you for showing up. Like, we love you for showing up. But also, like, don't let him in the courtroom. But don't let him know that we don't want him in the courtroom but don't let him know that we don't want him in the courtroom. Allegedly.
Starting point is 01:21:08 Allegedly. That was the vibe it gave me but what do I know? I don't know anything. I don't know these people. I'm just sitting there observing. What do I know? So that's why he's only in there for two seconds and why he was in the overflow room. He again did not have to go like there was no logistical reason that made sense so we don't know if maybe someone barred the defense and Diddy from He again did not have to go, like there was no logistical reason that made sense. So we don't know if maybe someone barred the defense and Diddy from putting him on the friends and family list, or Diddy and the friends and family, like they don't want him on the list. That part is unclear, but if he is on that list, there's no reason he can't come into the main courtroom.
Starting point is 01:21:40 Like he does not have to go through those lines outside like we do. That doesn't answer why he's there though. So the first theory that netizens have is he's there for the presidential pardon. Kanye had tweeted at Donald Trump asking him to free puff. Kanye's like tweeting to Trump. And they do, I mean, Kanye did seem to have some sort of relationship during Trump's first presidency. Maybe Kanye's showing up to get this more on Trump's radar, but I mean Trump already knows about it. He already made a statement about it, but maybe
Starting point is 01:22:09 they're thinking if Trump sees a headline and he's like, oh okay major celebrities are still backing this guy so maybe I'll pardon him. I don't know. The thread there is a little bit loose, but Kanye has always been a huge supporter of Trump. June 1st of this year, this year, he tweeted anybody who don't love Trump you're dumb. So Kanye loves Trump almost as much as he loves himself. His support of Trump is nothing particularly new but Kanye broke headlines originally when he first debuted his own MAGA hat. That was like in 2016. Now Donald Trump has been asked about pardoning Diddy and he says, first of all I look at what's happening and I haven't
Starting point is 01:22:51 been watching it too closely. Although it's certainly getting a lot of coverage, I haven't seen him, I haven't spoken to him in years. He used to really like me a lot but I think when I ran for politics that relationship busted up. As we said our country is doing really well because of what we're doing so it's not a popularity contest so I don't know. I would certainly look at the facts. If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don't like me, it wouldn't have any impact on me. Netizens are commenting, this is all part of the pardon plan. This is all part of the plan because this wouldn't be the first time that Kanye advocates for presidential pardon. Enter a man named Larry Hoover. Larry Hoover is a notorious figure
Starting point is 01:23:29 in American criminal history. He's best known as the founder of the Gangster Disciples, a powerful Chicago street gang. So in the 70s, Hoover is convicted of orchestrating the murder of a rival drug dealer. He receives a 200-year state sentence in Illinois. Despite being incarcerated, authorities say he's continued to lead the gang, which expanded into a nationwide criminal organization. In the 90s, although he's already in prison, the feds drag him back to court, convict him on federal charges, conspiracy, extortion, drug trafficking, ultimately resulting in a six consecutive federal life sentence.
Starting point is 01:24:05 Kanye has been one of Hoover's biggest supporters, even throwing the Free Hoover Benefit Concert where Kanye and Drake headlined in 2021. He sold Free Hoover merch, included and referenced Hoover's story and some of his song lyrics, and then even went to the Oval Office with Hoover's son, had a meeting with Trump all the way back in 2018, and then last month, May 28th of 2025, midst, this is like wild, Diddy's Trial is happening, Trump announces that he would be pardoning Larry Hoover. Wow.
Starting point is 01:24:41 I mean, not wow, because Hoover still has his state sentence. So presidents can only pardon federal sentences. So Hoover's still in prison for the next 200 years. Like he still has a 200 year sentence, but the six consecutive federal life sentences have been pardoned. What is all that about? Exactly. We don't know, but I guess the pardon worked? Question mark? Now, to be fair, Diddy doesn't have any state charges. He has federal charges.
Starting point is 01:25:11 So technically, he would be free if he's pardoned. But it doesn't make... I don't think that Trump is going to pardon Diddy for a multitude of different reasons. It does seem like the Trumps are heavily aligned with Israel and Kanye is not really someone who seems to be aligned with Israel, clearly with everything that's been going on. And it does not appear that Kanye is anywhere on Trump's favorite list of morally corrupt and questionable people. And then on top of that, Diddy's attorneys actually, Mark Agnifilo and Karen Agnifilo have a very close ties with a huge media network called Midas Touch. Midas Touch are very left leaning,
Starting point is 01:25:58 they're like very anti-Trump. And actually Trump is like trying to get them banned, I think at one point. So it's a very contentious you know relationship so I don't know it just seems like the waters are very dirty and Diddy has said very intense things about Trump as well so I just don't know how feasible a pardon is but also I don't know because the state of the politics and the world that we are in right now like everything that you think is never gonna happen happens and then you're like oh okay so we're all screwed, so we don't know.
Starting point is 01:26:26 That's just being logical, but nothing's logical these days, right? So in comes the next theory, which a lot of people think that Kanye is next on the fed's radar, which then why would he come to the federal courthouse to support Diddy? Maybe he thinks that him showing up will make it easier for Diddy to get a non-guilty verdict
Starting point is 01:26:47 people think that if Diddy gets a guilty verdict, the feds are coming after Kanye next this is just a conspiracy at this point, but it seems like there's a lot of overlaps in the type of things that they were into it seems like, you know, with the lawsuits that are happening against Kanye, seems like a similar trajectory. Perhaps people are even alleging that as the feds were investigating Diddy, they found lots of stuff about Kanye in the process, and maybe there's an investigation in the works there. So then why would he come to the federal courthouse? A, he either thinks that him showing up is going to result in a not guilty verdict because
Starting point is 01:27:23 more people are going to support Diddy I don't know how plausible that plan is and then B Maybe it goes to like an insanity plea Maybe he just like shows up does crazy things non-stop so that later he can plead insanity But that again also seems just like highly orchestrated Not the most feasible but almost instantly after, he did fly to Spain and checked himself in to... I'm not sure if I would call it like a facility. I guess I would call it a facility. I don't really know how to categorize it.
Starting point is 01:27:59 It's $100,000 a week. A week? A week. And you go there and you get like your own personal butler and you get like your own bowling alley. That is, that doesn't even make sense. Yeah, but apparently it's like a high end men's mental institution, but like voluntary and also worth a house a week. So maybe that can confirm like he's just doing crazy stuff because he thinks the feds are on to him so he's gonna be as crazy as possible so that he could plead insanity later. I don't know, right? And then the last theory is that Kanye is just Kanye. He just likes to be a contrarian.
Starting point is 01:28:38 He likes to do what nobody else is doing. And he likes to do stuff that makes everyone I don't know hate him what do you guys think I mean those are the main theories that are circulating and we were watching Kanye's whereabouts recently because we thought maybe he would show up defense has by the time that you're watching this this is gonna be our last ditty episode for this trial who knows if there's gonna be a mistrial who knows if there's gonna be a mistrial? Who knows if there's gonna be a second trial? We don't know. But this is um, this is gonna be our last episode until the verdict. The defense
Starting point is 01:29:10 has officially arrested their case. They called in zero witnesses. Which is insane. So in the beginning of this trial, they're saying like, we're gonna bring in all these different people. They were fighting to get this one doctor in. remember the prosecutors had brought in a doctor so they're like we're also gonna bring in a doctor. What kind of doctor they want to bring in? I think he focused on a lot of like drugs so he would testify about the effect that certain drugs would have maybe on someone's temper or volatility that was the vibe that people were getting so they fought hard to get this doctor to be able to testify.
Starting point is 01:29:46 Judge was like, okay, yeah, each side is gonna bring in a doctor. They had this huge long list of witnesses that the prosecutors were like, are you sure we're gonna finish by the 4th of July? Because that's not feasible. Then they were saying, oh, it's gonna take us like maybe four weeks.
Starting point is 01:30:01 Then they said, okay, maybe it's gonna take us a week or two. And then recently they said, you know, it's going to take us a few days. We have a few witnesses we're going to bring in, starting with Vashta, like the head of HR. Yeah. So I was like, oh my God, the head of HR, right? Yes. They didn't bring a single person in.
Starting point is 01:30:18 They didn't bring the doctor. They didn't bring Vashta. They literally brought nobody in. They rested their case in half a day. So a lot of people are saying, do they rested their case in half a day. So a lot of people are saying, do they rest their case in half a day because they're so confident, because the prosecutors have nothing.
Starting point is 01:30:31 So they're like, you got nothing, I don't have to do anything. I would disagree, I think just mentally speaking, when you're facing life in prison, you can't ever be that confident. Because if you're like, you know what, their case already sucks, and we just bring in like a week of, like one full week of witnesses, we bolster our case even more, let's bring
Starting point is 01:30:52 it home. We already think the jury is not going to find you guilty, let's bring it home. Let's just make extra sure. Like you would think that's how you handle it, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it seems like the risk of the prosecutors cross-examining any witness probably wouldn't do Sean Combs any good. It seems like maybe they're going to stick to either hoping, praying for a mistrial, which doesn't mean he's free. He would just have to do another trial or hoping, I don't know, for an appeal. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:31:25 It just doesn't, it doesn't make sense that they would be that confident for a not guilty verdict to the point of not bringing in a single witness. Like that level of confidence, when you're dealing with the feds and the conviction rate that they have, I just don't foresee how that is the train of thought. Yeah, it's so interesting why they do that.
Starting point is 01:31:53 It doesn't make sense. Because people were even thinking that Kanye was going to testify for Diddy. And again, that didn't make sense for a lot of people because it was like, we don't even think he's allowed in the courtroom because he's so controversial. But what do you guys think? We checked, Kanye is back in LA. He did fly from Spain back to New York. They were spotted in Brooklyn where Bianca Sensori, his wife was wearing just like candy lingerie and she was just like walking around in candy lingerie. So we thought maybe he was gonna come
Starting point is 01:32:20 for the defense closing, or not the closing, for the defense case in chief. But now we're just headed into closing statements and jury deliberations. And that's it. I mean, what do you guys think? Do you think Kanye's next? Is that why he's not let in the courtroom and no one can say anything? Is he the unnamed rapper?
Starting point is 01:32:40 Or what do you guys think about the, you know, just the whole trial so far like and the fact that they we think he's going to get a You know and the fact that they're arresting their case in like half a day What are your thoughts on that because people were like what's happening? This this is like abnormally and just to give you an idea a lot of people are saying oh my god He's OJ Simpson. This is gonna be an OJ Simpson dream team He's gonna get away not guilty verdicts right because the jurors are gonna love him It's gonna be the next OJ Simpson of our generation now I will say I don't know how accurate that is considering OJ Simpson's trial was held
Starting point is 01:33:18 Not in the federal court like the feds in the state They operate differently like the feds you don't want to get in their crosshairs. On top of that, I looked into it. OJ Simpson's defense case in chief lasted 39 court days. 39 days! So after the prosecutors, OJ Simpson's attorneys were up there for 39 days. And did he have a day? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:43 Half a day is very generous. His defense case in chief lasted like an hour. Wow. Yeah. I don't know. What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments and be safe. I'll see you in the next episode.
