- 0:23Speaker 1: now today, if we're checking in behind the scenes of
- 0:26Speaker 1: the Grind, I am feeling empowered. People like to use
- 0:34Speaker 1: the term new levels, new devils. I don't like to
- 0:37Speaker 1: use that term because I don't even like to acknowledge
- 0:39Speaker 1: the devil and all of the negative things that be danging.
- 0:43Speaker 1: But I will say that in new levels of business,
- 0:47Speaker 1: there are new challenges, and I've talked about it here
- 0:50Speaker 1: before in the podcast when we've checked in behind the
- 0:52Speaker 1: scenes of the Grind, because y'all know the behind the
- 0:54Speaker 1: scenes of the Grind stems from my motto brown Girl Grinding.
- 0:57Speaker 1: And I'd like to say here when we explain this
- 0:59Speaker 1: part of segment, that people don't always check in on
- 1:02Speaker 1: you when you grind it and you making things look
- 1:04Speaker 1: good and you know what I mean, you moving and shaking.
- 1:06Speaker 1: They don't always check in on you, and if they do,
- 1:08Speaker 1: you're not always receptive to it. So I made it
- 1:10Speaker 1: my mission to make sure I check in daily with
- 1:13Speaker 1: you guys, the Low Riders. And we're in a new space, y'all.
- 1:17Speaker 1: We are well over a million listeners, well over a
- 1:21Speaker 1: million Low Riders strong, and.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Things are moving.
- 1:24Speaker 1: We will be bringing back a video element to support
- 1:27Speaker 1: this audio element of the podcast really really soon. And
- 1:31Speaker 1: that's just a lot of things going on and in
- 1:33Speaker 1: knowing that there are things happening and wanting to make
- 1:35Speaker 1: sure that we are executing at the best level that
- 1:38Speaker 1: we can here at the latest with Lauren Rosa and
- 1:40Speaker 1: elsewhere you know, on my Brown Girl Grinding platform, which
- 1:44Speaker 1: is make sure you guys follow us on Instagram. We
- 1:46Speaker 1: will also be building out in other places. It's you know,
- 1:48Speaker 1: it's motivation, it's all the tools you need for your grind,
- 1:51Speaker 1: but it also keeps you up to date with what's
- 1:52Speaker 1: happening in the world. Whatever I'm not here on the
- 1:54Speaker 1: podcast and just in general, as Loura La Rosa, I
- 1:58Speaker 1: just want to make sure I'm not fumbling the ball, yo,
- 2:00Speaker 1: if I'm being honest, I think about that all the time.
- 2:02Speaker 1: There's always been conversations about you know, it's not about
- 2:05Speaker 1: how you get it, it's about how you maintain it
- 2:07Speaker 1: and how you keep it.
- 2:08Speaker 2: And especially you.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Know, coming from the family I come from and the
- 2:12Speaker 1: community that I come from, and just all these things,
- 2:14Speaker 1: I know how important it is to be able to
- 2:16Speaker 1: have something to hand on back to my children, my
- 2:20Speaker 1: niece to the world, but also be able to sustain.
- 2:23Speaker 1: I think there are such a scarcity mindset when you
- 2:25Speaker 1: grow up in certain communities, and I was blessed to
- 2:28Speaker 1: have a mother and a grandmother who you know, I
- 2:30Speaker 1: never felt lack.
- 2:32Speaker 2: I never did.
- 2:33Speaker 1: It wasn't until I even got older that I understood
- 2:35Speaker 1: scarcity and what that was for black people right period.
- 2:40Speaker 1: So shout out to those women because I never felt it.
- 2:42Speaker 1: But as I got older and I realized what was
- 2:44Speaker 1: going on, and you know, my mom needed to help.
- 2:47Speaker 2: One of the things that I always.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Said, because my mom and my grandmother are entrepreneurs, was
- 2:51Speaker 1: that I wanted to be able to scale business to
- 2:53Speaker 1: a different level so that some of the hardships I
- 2:56Speaker 1: saw them and you know, go through and some of
- 2:58Speaker 1: the hardships they still go through today because our education
- 3:02Speaker 1: levels are different and just our exposure is different. I
- 3:04Speaker 1: want to make things a softer landed for them. And
- 3:06Speaker 1: I also want to make sure that when I get
- 3:08Speaker 1: to a point where you know, my kids and my nieces,
- 3:11Speaker 1: my nephews, you know all the things, the next generation
- 3:13Speaker 1: of what my lineage looks like is able to see
- 3:16Speaker 1: me and say, hey, here's how I want to.
- 3:18Speaker 2: Take it to the next level. They have something to
- 3:20Speaker 2: go off of.
- 3:21Speaker 1: I'm grateful to have had helping hands and you know,
- 3:24Speaker 1: not have had to start from zero because of that.
- 3:27Speaker 1: But I've always been like, y'all want to up it
- 3:29Speaker 1: because I ain't have everything. I was good, but we
- 3:31Speaker 1: didn't have everything, and I just feel empowered to knock
- 3:35Speaker 1: things out today. It also gets very frustrating because you
- 3:38Speaker 1: only got twenty four hours in a day. But child
- 3:40Speaker 1: as a whole nother story for a whole nother episode.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Because I want to get on end to the latest y'all.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Know, I love to take y'all a court, to take
- 3:48Speaker 2: y'all a court.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Now today in the latest this is breaking news this morning,
- 3:54Speaker 1: the prosecutors have responded to Sean Combs's team, Diddy's team
- 3:59Speaker 1: and their request for bell. So they're heading back at
- 4:02Speaker 1: the Mogent and basically saying, listen, y'all are trying to
- 4:05Speaker 1: downplay this man at conviction as if it's just nothing.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Y'all are trying to downplay the whole transporting mail escorts
- 4:12Speaker 1: across day lines. You're trying to downplay the legal precedent
- 4:16Speaker 1: on which the judge denied Diddy's.
- 4:19Speaker 2: Bell, and y'all not gonna do that.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Y'all not about to do that, you know what I'm saying,
- 4:22Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, the conviction was
- 4:26Speaker 1: decided upon by the jurors.
- 4:27Speaker 2: And it happened, and it's done so.
- 4:30Speaker 1: In a filing that came down today, prosecutor said he
- 4:33Speaker 1: they have different reasons for why Diddy Shit remain in
- 4:36Speaker 1: jail in response to everything that we've been talking about.
- 4:39Speaker 1: If you have not caught those episodes, make sure you're
- 4:41Speaker 1: gonna catch those episodes prior to this one on the
- 4:44Speaker 1: Lettus with Lauren the Rose. But if you subscribe, you're
- 4:46Speaker 1: gonna get all the notifications shameless plug.
- 4:48Speaker 2: But here are their reasons, right.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Prosecutors are saying, look, I don't care what y'all talking
- 4:53Speaker 1: about y'all are talking about he never had sex with
- 4:56Speaker 1: the escorts. Y'all are talking about, he never transported the
- 4:59Speaker 1: escorts himself. Y'all are talking about, you know, these men
- 5:02Speaker 1: had good relationships with his girlfriends at the time, and
- 5:04Speaker 1: that's why they were there and all these things. But
- 5:08Speaker 1: the prosecutors point out, you guys failed to show the
- 5:11Speaker 1: court any evidence to mitigate the crimes. Like what they're
- 5:15Speaker 1: saying is like, the prosecutors are basically saying, y'all couldn't
- 5:19Speaker 1: even make these crimes like in front of the jury
- 5:22Speaker 1: right in court. What you guys are trying to do
- 5:24Speaker 1: now in these documents where you're like trying to downplay
- 5:27Speaker 1: it and make his involvement so low and so nothing,
- 5:29Speaker 1: and just you know, this was just a voyeurism.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Lifestyle that they love to live.
- 5:33Speaker 1: You guys couldn't even prove that in court with hard evidence,
- 5:36Speaker 1: So why bring it up now?
- 5:38Speaker 2: We don't understand. They also cited two prior federal.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Cases in which the judge denied defendant's bail after they
- 5:46Speaker 1: were convicted with the Man Act. Now the prosecutors are
- 5:48Speaker 1: saying that in both cases they're almost the exact carbon
- 5:53Speaker 1: copy of Diddy's case because number one, the defendants were
- 5:57Speaker 1: also facing sex trafficking charges but were only convicted.
- 6:00Speaker 2: Are the men Act violation.
- 6:02Speaker 1: And the reason why, you know, according to prosecutors, you
- 6:04Speaker 1: can say that these these cases are very similar to
- 6:07Speaker 1: Diddy is because in these cases the person in question
- 6:12Speaker 1: was also charged with sex trafficking. Sex trafficking did not stick,
- 6:17Speaker 1: but they were convicted of Men Act violations, and they
- 6:20Speaker 1: were also kept and not released the same way Diddy.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Is being they were not giving a bond.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Then they talk about the whole you know John thing, right,
- 6:29Speaker 1: because they're like, Okay, a John in this is just
- 6:31Speaker 1: somebody that is you know, you're involved, and you know
- 6:35Speaker 1: you're you're not You're not reaping much of the benefits
- 6:38Speaker 1: of what a prostitution ring would be, right, You're not
- 6:42Speaker 1: You're not transporting to people. It takes a lot of
- 6:45Speaker 1: the heaviness off of your actions or your involvement and
- 6:49Speaker 1: all of the things. So they say, Okay, let's not
- 6:53Speaker 1: act like we didn't show evidence in court that Diddy
- 6:57Speaker 1: himself did, in fact transport into visuals for the purpose
- 7:00Speaker 1: of prostitution on hundreds of occasions over the course of decades.
- 7:04Speaker 1: The prosecutors say they also accused Diddy of being the
- 7:07Speaker 1: person who supplied Cassie and Jane with the drugs to
- 7:09Speaker 1: make sure they would participate in all of their freak
- 7:12Speaker 1: off sessions. And because of the drugs which Diddy was
- 7:15Speaker 1: also taking, they were terrorized.
- 7:18Speaker 2: There were violent.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Outbursts, ever things, there were repercussions, every things that happened.
- 7:23Speaker 2: Now.
- 7:23Speaker 1: On the stand, Cassie testified about how bad the drug
- 7:27Speaker 1: use was. She on the stand revealed, if you guys
- 7:30Speaker 1: remember that it was so bad. Not only did she
- 7:33Speaker 1: experience overdose of sorts, but Diddy had also overdose around
- 7:37Speaker 1: the time that Whitney Houston had passed away.
- 7:40Speaker 2: And we never knew this, the public never knew this.
- 7:43Speaker 1: But when she got into how bad the drug addiction
- 7:45Speaker 1: was on both of their parts, you really got to
- 7:49Speaker 1: see this from a whole different light. And they're like, Okay,
- 7:51Speaker 1: let's not forget because you guys admitted to the violence,
- 7:54Speaker 1: and you know, the random moods and all these things,
- 7:59Speaker 1: and y'all, y'all, y'all talked about the drug use, and
- 8:01Speaker 1: you get and listen. While we were in court, Diddy's
- 8:04Speaker 1: team they did lean into drug use potentially or at
- 8:08Speaker 1: least trying to get over drug use at some point,
- 8:10Speaker 1: because they talked about there was a time where he
- 8:12Speaker 1: was trying to and had slowed down on his drug
- 8:15Speaker 1: use and was trying to look out for Cassie and
- 8:16Speaker 1: make sure she was on the same But they talked
- 8:19Speaker 1: about this also in a way that time period in
- 8:21Speaker 1: a way where it's like, okay, well, is that a
- 8:23Speaker 1: reason why someone would have like random outbursts and like
- 8:26Speaker 1: mood swings. So you guys admitted to the drug use
- 8:29Speaker 1: and the things that come with it, but you're trying
- 8:31Speaker 1: to make it seem like these random outbursts they weren't
- 8:34Speaker 1: terror to these women, and of course, you know, we
- 8:38Speaker 1: knew that they were gonna go here.
- 8:39Speaker 2: We talked about this in the last episode.
- 8:41Speaker 1: But they also bring up the fifty million dollars of
- 8:43Speaker 1: the Bell package, which you know, he's offered these sums
- 8:46Speaker 1: of money prior to this as well, but he's reoffering
- 8:48Speaker 1: his fifty million dollars Bell package, and they're.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Like, look, offer whatever you want.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Let's not forget the fact that did he has a
- 8:55Speaker 1: history of violent behavior, which again y'all, his team leaned
- 8:59Speaker 1: into in the beginning of this we saw on video,
- 9:02Speaker 1: not only did we And here's the thing. I think
- 9:04Speaker 1: when the public talks about this whole Diddy situation, they
- 9:07Speaker 1: focused a lot on the Cassie video that Ce and
- 9:09Speaker 1: N released, and I understand why that video was super
- 9:11Speaker 1: hard to watch.
- 9:12Speaker 2: It was not okay.
- 9:13Speaker 1: But when in court that video paired with all of
- 9:18Speaker 1: the photos that we saw of Cassie, and we saw
- 9:21Speaker 1: photos of like her bruises and all the different things
- 9:24Speaker 1: from the beatings that she experienced. She got on the
- 9:28Speaker 1: stand and she talked about some of those times and
- 9:30Speaker 1: the things that she alleged. Diddy's team did try and
- 9:33Speaker 1: shoot back at as much as they could, but a
- 9:36Speaker 1: lot of it was like there's nothing that you can
- 9:39Speaker 1: do or say, Like you can't deny that it happened.
- 9:42Speaker 1: You can try and soften why it happened, or the
- 9:46Speaker 1: fact that she still returned to him after and all
- 9:48Speaker 1: these things, but the prosecution nipped that in the bud
- 9:51Speaker 1: Quick number one. I feel like when Cassie's mom came
- 9:55Speaker 1: on the stand and Diddy's attorney, Mark Agnefilio just came in,
- 10:00Speaker 1: introduced themselves and said, we have no questions for you.
- 10:04Speaker 1: That said everything you needed to say about Diddy's team
- 10:07Speaker 1: and them understanding what all of that even though Diddy's
- 10:12Speaker 1: not on trial for domestic violence, but what all of
- 10:14Speaker 1: that violence did to that family. So for then I
- 10:19Speaker 1: thought that it was crazy because it's like that happened.
- 10:22Speaker 1: But the whole trial, you guys are downplaying the violence.
- 10:26Speaker 1: You admit that it was bad, it shouldn't happened, all
- 10:29Speaker 1: these things, but he's not on trial for that. But
- 10:31Speaker 1: let's talk about the fact that these women kept coming back.
- 10:33Speaker 1: Let's talk about the fact that these women were trying
- 10:34Speaker 1: to make careers allegedly these women, you know what I mean,
- 10:36Speaker 1: all of those things. I don't know how Diddy ever
- 10:39Speaker 1: gets around the Cassie beating video and all the things
- 10:43Speaker 1: that we saw, the jury saw and heard in court.
- 10:47Speaker 1: If I'm being honest with you, guys, I made this
- 10:48Speaker 1: prediction in my last episode. I don't think he's going
- 10:51Speaker 1: to receive this bell. I would be very shocked if
- 10:54Speaker 1: he received it.
- 10:55Speaker 2: Now.
- 10:55Speaker 1: The day of the bond hearing, I was looking at
- 11:00Speaker 1: at it like, Okay, he is not fake, Like he's
- 11:03Speaker 1: found not guilty on the most serious of these charges.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Sure let him out. I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
- 11:10Speaker 1: But once I heard the prosecutors present, you know, all
- 11:13Speaker 1: the things that they basically just put in this document again,
- 11:16Speaker 1: and then I heard the judge's response, because ultimately it's
- 11:19Speaker 1: up to the judge. Once I heard the judge's response,
- 11:23Speaker 1: it was more so like a lack of respect and
- 11:26Speaker 1: boundaries when it comes to the court and the violence.
- 11:29Speaker 1: And I know, because I've been in court watching and
- 11:31Speaker 1: listening how fair this judge was and did he admitted
- 11:35Speaker 1: that in court one of the few times he heard
- 11:37Speaker 1: did he speak in court? It was him thinking the
- 11:39Speaker 1: judge for doing such a good job and handling, you know,
- 11:42Speaker 1: the proceedings so well. When I heard that, I was like, man,
- 11:46Speaker 1: it's going to be so hard for Diddy to ever
- 11:48Speaker 1: get around that. And that is why now, after seeing
- 11:51Speaker 1: that and how that went down and thinking he might
- 11:54Speaker 1: walk free until sentencing that day, I'm not convinced by
- 11:58Speaker 1: Diddy's teams at this point that Diddy will be getting
- 12:03Speaker 1: a bell. I'm just not convinced at all. So we
- 12:08Speaker 1: will be back with more in our next episode. Just
- 12:11Speaker 1: want to give you guys a full breakdown of this
- 12:13Speaker 1: new filing and what is happening. What will happen next.
- 12:17Speaker 1: You're going to hear from the judge, But we need
- 12:19Speaker 1: to hear from the judge on two things now. We
- 12:21Speaker 1: need to hear from the judge on Bill, whether that
- 12:23Speaker 1: will happen or not. We also need to hear from
- 12:25Speaker 1: the judge because Diddy's team they're asking for this case
- 12:29Speaker 1: to be thrown out or for a new trial to happen.
- 12:31Speaker 1: We're going to hear from the judge on that as
- 12:33Speaker 1: well too. And to be honest with you guys, I
- 12:35Speaker 1: think the new trial is probably Ditty's best bet, even
- 12:40Speaker 1: though nobody wants to have to do all that. Again,
- 12:42Speaker 1: The only reason why I think is his best bet
- 12:44Speaker 1: is I think it just gives them more time to
- 12:46Speaker 1: prepare an argument directly related to the things that keep
- 12:51Speaker 1: getting them caught up, which is the violence and you
- 12:55Speaker 1: know the perception of Diddy. I don't even know what
- 12:57Speaker 1: they're preparing that new trial, to be honest with you guys,
- 13:00Speaker 1: to get anything dropped, But I mean it gives them
- 13:02Speaker 1: more time, It gives them another platform to represent the
- 13:05Speaker 1: case because I don't see this getting tossed out because
- 13:08Speaker 1: there was clear evidence of what he's convicted for because
- 13:12Speaker 1: they're arguing that they're basically saying, we see the same
- 13:15Speaker 1: things that you guys see, but for it too have
- 13:17Speaker 1: resulted in the conviction of the Man Act. We don't
- 13:20Speaker 1: think it should have went that far. I don't listen,
- 13:22Speaker 1: I say I don't know, but then explain to y'all
- 13:24Speaker 1: what I know. Right, y'all. At the end of the day,
- 13:27Speaker 1: there's always a lot to talk about, and I enjoy
- 13:29Speaker 1: talking about these.
- 13:30Speaker 2: Things with you guys so much.
