- 1:05Speaker 1: the official Howard Alumni Organization or Howard Alumni. I think
- 1:10Speaker 1: that's like their social media pages. They have like sort
- 1:13Speaker 1: of doing a comedy show. It's at the Hard Rock
- 1:16Speaker 1: Cafe in D.C. They're doing a comedy show and they
- 1:19Speaker 1: are also doing a R & B brunch event. I'm
- 1:22Speaker 1: really excited. It's a Sunday, 5 to 8, Sunday, October 18th.
- 1:26Speaker 1: So join me at the Hard Rock Cafe in Washington, D.C.
- 1:30Speaker 1: So the brunch part of it, the brunch comedy show
- 1:33Speaker 1: is from 11 to 2. And then from 2 to 5,
- 1:35Speaker 1: it's a karaoke day party. So I come in on
- 1:37Speaker 1: the karaoke day party part and I am ready to
- 1:39Speaker 1: sing my heart out. We have been having some really amazing,
- 1:44Speaker 1: interesting conversations about homecoming. And on a surface level, just
- 1:49Speaker 1: the joy and the fun that happens at these homecomings,
- 1:52Speaker 1: HBCU homecomings. I know there are a ton of them
- 1:55Speaker 1: that are coming up this weekend as well. FAMU, I know,
- 1:59Speaker 1: is one of the homecomings coming up this weekend. Everybody
- 2:02Speaker 1: be safe out there. But deeper than the surface level,
- 2:05Speaker 1: I had a really interesting conversation today with about homecoming
- 2:09Speaker 1: and the International African American Art Museum in South Carolina
- 2:14Speaker 1: they are doing a homecoming of their own which you
- 2:17Speaker 1: guys will hear more about on The Breakfast Club this
- 2:20Speaker 1: week But that conversation really made me think about the
- 2:23Speaker 1: lineage of us as black people and where like we
- 2:28Speaker 1: learn or we talk a lot about the lineage of
- 2:31Speaker 1: our trauma with like, you know, slavery and the 400
- 2:34Speaker 1: years and the things that were taken from us, us
- 2:37Speaker 1: literally not even knowing our history because certain things were
- 2:39Speaker 1: not documented. Photographs weren't there. You know, I know some
- 2:43Speaker 1: families who have literally changed their last names because they
- 2:45Speaker 1: didn't want to carry on the slave names and just
- 2:49Speaker 1: a lot of things of that nature. But thinking of
- 2:52Speaker 1: homecoming and speaking about these homecomings, it makes me think
- 2:54Speaker 1: about the lineage of our joy. And I told myself
- 2:58Speaker 1: after the conversation I had today about the African-American museum
- 3:04Speaker 1: in South Carolina and speaking to Dr. Tonya, Dr. Tanya
- 3:09Speaker 1: and Matthews, who is the CEO and president of of
- 3:13Speaker 1: the International African-American Museum down there in Charleston, South Carolina,
- 3:16Speaker 1: that I was going to do more to invest in
- 3:19Speaker 1: or just take the time for figuring out what the
- 3:23Speaker 1: lineage of my joy is. My aunt actually wrote a book,
- 3:26Speaker 1: Phyllis Tucker Saunders. And in that interview and in that conversation,
- 3:32Speaker 1: it also made me really appreciate the lineage of just
- 3:36Speaker 1: like my immediate family. My aunt wrote a book some
- 3:39Speaker 1: time ago. It's called Our Life Together, the Tucker family
- 3:42Speaker 1: of Newark, Delaware. And she's always been very, very, very
- 3:46Speaker 1: intentional about preserving our family's history and telling stories and
- 3:49Speaker 1: passing certain things down. As my whole family has, I'm
- 3:51Speaker 1: very traditional when it comes to family. If you guys
- 3:54Speaker 1: have not noticed and cannot tell. And I started thinking
- 3:57Speaker 1: literally in that conversation, why things like homecoming and returning
- 4:01Speaker 1: to homecoming and one of my children to go to
- 4:03Speaker 1: HBCUs and my niece to go to HBCU and wanted
- 4:05Speaker 1: to talk about it. And really just spread the fact that,
- 4:09Speaker 1: you know, we can pass down joy as well as
- 4:11Speaker 1: we can pass down trauma. Like, where did that come
- 4:13Speaker 1: from for me? And it honestly made me think about
- 4:18Speaker 1: my family and just a lot of, you know, their
- 4:20Speaker 1: intention around teaching me about being a black woman in
- 4:23Speaker 1: the world, teaching me my history, you know, and our principles. And,
- 4:28Speaker 1: you know, like I remember we would celebrate things like Kwanzaa.
- 4:32Speaker 1: And knowing the seven principles of Kwanzaa and what they
- 4:35Speaker 1: stood for and us getting together and, you know, dressing
- 4:37Speaker 1: up in the garbs and the cloths and doing that
- 4:41Speaker 1: right after the new year and setting our intentions for
- 4:43Speaker 1: the year and doing it very deep rooted and black
- 4:45Speaker 1: in the way we did it. And even just something
- 4:48Speaker 1: as small as like fried chicken and black eyed peas
- 4:50Speaker 1: and my grandmother making sure at midnight we knew to
- 4:52Speaker 1: be praying our way into a new year and making
- 4:55Speaker 1: sure that, you know, family were the first people that
- 4:57Speaker 1: you spent time with in that new year. all of
- 5:01Speaker 1: that was just so intentional. And I think as an
- 5:05Speaker 1: institution and we have to like protect our institutions. That's
- 5:09Speaker 1: what you guys will hear me say a lot about
- 5:10Speaker 1: HBCUs homecoming season or not, but as an institution handing
- 5:16Speaker 1: down scholarship, not even just money, but I mean like
- 5:19Speaker 1: actual learning and education. When I say scholarship scholars, um,
- 5:23Speaker 1: the history of black people, because I think me going
- 5:26Speaker 1: to HBCU and learning, um, black history there was so
- 5:31Speaker 1: different than what I ever learned in any other school
- 5:33Speaker 1: and it was just more extensive but also really teaching
- 5:37Speaker 1: the students there like to pass down black joy from
- 5:41Speaker 1: you being a student to you then graduating and coming
- 5:43Speaker 1: back and pouring into your HBCUs as alumni and being
- 5:47Speaker 1: on campus and being on the plots and you know
- 5:50Speaker 1: the cookouts and the line dancing and the food and
- 5:53Speaker 1: just the smiles and the enjoyment and when you're on
- 5:56Speaker 1: campus people literally walk up to you and they say
- 5:58Speaker 1: welcome home And a lot of that for us is
- 6:01Speaker 1: just a place of belonging and a sense of belonging,
- 6:03Speaker 1: but it's so deep-rooted into history. So I say all
- 6:07Speaker 1: this to say, you know, this is not an excuse
- 6:09Speaker 1: for why I'm about to go. I have a good
- 6:10Speaker 1: time this weekend at Howard, another reason to party, even
- 6:14Speaker 1: though I will do that. So make sure y'all join
- 6:16Speaker 1: me at the Hard Rock this weekend if you guys
- 6:17Speaker 1: are listening right now in real time and you have
- 6:21Speaker 1: not been passed on by by October 18th. But I
- 6:24Speaker 1: say that to say that HBCUs and the conversation around
- 6:29Speaker 1: us is so layered. It is so layered. And yesterday
- 6:35Speaker 1: in our episode yesterday, we talked about homecoming not just
- 6:38Speaker 1: being for the students, but it being for alumni. And
- 6:41Speaker 1: I think now after this conversation, I understand that saying deeper.
- 6:47Speaker 1: That has been a trending, resilient sound of homecoming, homecoming
- 6:52Speaker 1: for the alumni. And I think that, you know, what
- 6:55Speaker 1: I'm taking away from that or my interpretation of that now,
- 6:57Speaker 1: after really having a conversation with someone who is literally
- 7:00Speaker 1: a custodian of all things, black story and black culture
- 7:04Speaker 1: through the international African-American museum down in Charleston, South Carolina is,
- 7:10Speaker 1: you know, as you grow, as you age, you become
- 7:16Speaker 1: a very integral part of your family's lineage of your,
- 7:19Speaker 1: the institutions that you've passed through of their lineage. And
- 7:23Speaker 1: it is our job as, you know, people who are
- 7:26Speaker 1: aging and being blessed to do so to hand that
- 7:29Speaker 1: on down. And I don't mean wait until you 60
- 7:31Speaker 1: years old. Like if you are a senior at your
- 7:34Speaker 1: HBCU at your college or You know, you don't even
- 7:37Speaker 1: got to be out of college. If you are the
- 7:39Speaker 1: oldest brother or sister in your household and you're learning
- 7:43Speaker 1: something daily about your family, about yourself, about your being
- 7:45Speaker 1: in the world, we're taught to teach it and pass
- 7:48Speaker 1: it down to our younger siblings. That is lineage. That
- 7:51Speaker 1: is how we keep, you know, our families, our people,
- 7:55Speaker 1: our friends educated on us and our stories and our backgrounds.
- 7:58Speaker 1: And that is such a privilege to be able to do.
- 8:01Speaker 1: People had to fight to be able to do that.
- 8:03Speaker 1: It's just insane to me how, not even insane, but
- 8:06Speaker 1: it's a beautiful thing. It's an awakening, I think, that
- 8:09Speaker 1: I'm having. I'm recognizing that I'm having an awakening as
- 8:15Speaker 1: I get older about how everything that I do, even
- 8:18Speaker 1: my small pockets of joy, relate back to me becoming
- 8:23Speaker 1: this full being who understands myself a bit better so
- 8:26Speaker 1: I know what I'm walking out into the world and
- 8:28Speaker 1: giving and how I can better serve and enrich other people. Now,
- 8:33Speaker 1: to be able to connect homecoming, you know what I mean,
- 8:36Speaker 1: to all of that, that is the beauty of HBCU, okay?
- 8:41Speaker 1: Make sure you guys check out that conversation, though, when
- 8:43Speaker 1: it goes live on The Breakfast Club's Netflix channel because
- 8:47Speaker 1: I was in that conversation like oh wow okay like
- 8:52Speaker 1: I knew HBCUs were special you learn all the history
- 8:55Speaker 1: about these institutions and how they served us and why
- 8:57Speaker 1: they served us because they were all we had and
- 8:59Speaker 1: all we were allowed to have but the passing down
- 9:02Speaker 1: of the joy and our ability to be able to
- 9:04Speaker 1: do that the same way we passed down the trauma
- 9:07Speaker 1: and the conversations about you know everything else and the
- 9:10Speaker 1: importance in that. That's where I'm at right now with it.
- 9:12Speaker 1: So I'm head on to Howard. I'll keep you guys
- 9:15Speaker 1: updated on how that goes, but let's get into the latest.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Speaking of Howard University, I know they don't want nothing
- 9:22Speaker 1: to do with this story. Diddy, who we know has
- 9:26Speaker 1: talked about being, he didn't even graduate from Howard, but
- 9:29Speaker 1: he talks a lot about being Howard alumni. And at
- 9:32Speaker 1: one point was given back to the school. I know
- 9:33Speaker 1: that they've had to, you know, everybody has like stepped
- 9:35Speaker 1: away at this point. You guys know why completely and
- 9:38Speaker 1: totally understand why We covered Diddy's trial right here, live,
- 9:43Speaker 1: on the latest with Lorna Rosa, the podcast, where he
- 9:45Speaker 1: was convicted of prostitution charges under the Mann Act. He
- 9:48Speaker 1: is now serving 50 months behind bars in a prison
- 9:53Speaker 1: here in New Jersey, Fort Dix. Now, I'd reported earlier
- 9:59Speaker 1: this week that Diddy was rushed and this was via
- 10:02Speaker 1: a TMZ source that Diddy was rushed to a hospital
- 10:05Speaker 1: over the weekend now Diddy being rushed to the hospital
- 10:08Speaker 1: over the weekend was a story that came out of
- 10:11Speaker 1: nowhere especially following You know, stories of like contraband in
- 10:14Speaker 1: the jail as far as like, you know, drinking and
- 10:18Speaker 1: they alleged drugs. They talked about him having cell phones
- 10:21Speaker 1: and things that he's not supposed to have him having
- 10:23Speaker 1: people that cooked for him and having people that cleaned
- 10:26Speaker 1: for him, made his bed for him, all of the things.
- 10:28Speaker 1: So following that story, you know, it was reported that
- 10:30Speaker 1: he was thrown in solitary confinement. And then, boom, last weekend,
- 10:35Speaker 1: TMZ says that a source tells them that he is
- 10:38Speaker 1: rushed to the hospital now. There were smaller stories that
- 10:43Speaker 1: came out since that reporting. Page six did an exclusive
- 10:46Speaker 1: report stating that Diddy hit his head on a bunk
- 10:49Speaker 1: bed above him. When I saw that reporting, I'm like, uh,
- 10:52Speaker 1: I don't know how much I truly believe that. Um, just,
- 10:57Speaker 1: I don't know. It just, it didn't seem like, like
- 10:59Speaker 1: to me, that's something you hit your head on a
- 11:01Speaker 1: bunk bed and you're in a prison. There are like,
- 11:04Speaker 1: you have an infirmary in a prison, which is where
- 11:05Speaker 1: they take care of you. Similar to a hospital. Right.
- 11:08Speaker 1: So for me, um, I'm like, it couldn't have been
- 11:11Speaker 1: something that small. And if he did just hit his
- 11:14Speaker 1: head on a bump bed, it had to be a
- 11:15Speaker 1: really a hell of a hit for them to feel
- 11:19Speaker 1: like they needed to remove him from the prison and
- 11:21Speaker 1: take him to an outside hospital, even though he did
- 11:24Speaker 1: return hours later. Right. And this is in the middle
- 11:26Speaker 1: of the night. So I didn't believe that story at
- 11:29Speaker 1: the time, though. I have no sources, so I have
- 11:30Speaker 1: no way of getting any additional information. But I was like,
- 11:33Speaker 1: you know what? I'm not going to report that because
- 11:35Speaker 1: I don't believe it. It just doesn't make any sense
- 11:37Speaker 1: using my instinct. So then. TMZ does an exclusive report today. Now,
- 11:43Speaker 1: this also seems a bit crazy and unbelievable, but it
- 11:47Speaker 1: kind of makes sense for the urgency of how he
- 11:49Speaker 1: had to be taken out of the prison to an
- 11:51Speaker 1: outside hospital because there would be a more serious of
- 11:54Speaker 1: an injury, even if it was just something to his head.
- 11:57Speaker 1: So there are new reports that Diddy's head injury was
- 11:59Speaker 1: actually something that resulted from him getting into a physical
- 12:02Speaker 1: altercation with a man named Christopher Dudas Coke. Now, Dudas,
- 12:08Speaker 1: it ain't no joke from what I'm hearing. Dudas, I'm told, is,
- 12:12Speaker 1: you know, big drug lord out of Jamaica. He's from Kingston.
- 12:16Speaker 1: He was the leader at one point of a crew
- 12:19Speaker 1: called the Shower Posse, which his dad was an integral
- 12:21Speaker 1: part of. And, you know, they have been connected by U.S.
- 12:26Speaker 1: government to over thousands of murders. He had been arrested
- 12:30Speaker 1: in June of 2010 and extradited over to the U.S.
- 12:34Speaker 1: in relation to allegations of trafficking, cocaine, marijuana. drug i
- 12:40Speaker 1: mean those are drugs guns and various things over to
- 12:43Speaker 1: the u.s um now when i say that this guy
- 12:47Speaker 1: is no joke so i mean there's just like people
- 12:51Speaker 1: just know these these like ancient war stories around this
- 12:54Speaker 1: guy but there's also reports of it there's a whole
- 12:56Speaker 1: documentaries about him and the crew and um you know
- 13:00Speaker 1: the the stance or the position that he held um
- 13:03Speaker 1: in kingston and In May of 2010, U.S. authorities tried
- 13:07Speaker 1: to extradite him from Jamaica. Then when this happened, there
- 13:10Speaker 1: was a battle that went down between people that supported
- 13:12Speaker 1: him who were reportedly heavily armed and security forces. At
- 13:17Speaker 1: least 73 people were killed. The government, when they went
- 13:23Speaker 1: to extradite him, when U.S. authorities wanted to extradite him,
- 13:26Speaker 1: the government in Kingston, Jamaica was like, look, give us
- 13:30Speaker 1: some time. And during that time or somewhere in that timeline,
- 13:33Speaker 1: he escaped for a few days. And then all of this,
- 13:36Speaker 1: like this raging back and forth went down. Over 60 people,
- 13:40Speaker 1: 73 people were killed. He was extradited later that year. Now,
- 13:46Speaker 1: it is also reported that since his arrest, there has
- 13:49Speaker 1: been no drug lord comparable in power to emerge and
- 13:54Speaker 1: replace Dudas. This is crazy. Now, y'all are probably wondering
- 14:00Speaker 1: why he was here, right? If all this stuff is
- 14:03Speaker 1: happening in Jamaica. When he was arrested, he was extradited here.
- 14:07Speaker 1: The charges lived here. So this is where he lived
- 14:11Speaker 1: out or he has been living out his time in
- 14:14Speaker 1: Fort Dix, which is where Diddy is arrested. In 2012,
- 14:18Speaker 1: a federal court sentenced him to 23 years in prison
- 14:21Speaker 1: after he pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy and assault with
- 14:24Speaker 1: a dangerous weapon. He has been serving his sentence at
- 14:27Speaker 1: the federal institution for Dix, which is where Diddy is at,
- 14:30Speaker 1: a low-security federal correctional facility in New Jersey, and is
- 14:34Speaker 1: scheduled for his release in January of 2028. Now, they
- 14:40Speaker 1: say that this is the guy— and I say they— TMZ is
- 14:43Speaker 1: reporting via a source that this is the person that
- 14:45Speaker 1: Diddy got into a— Physical altercation with— which then caused him
- 14:51Speaker 1: to be rushed to the hospital. And they're saying that
- 14:52Speaker 1: this physical altercation, TMZ source, comes about because of all
- 14:56Speaker 1: of those reports of the contraband, the Hennessy, the drugs,
- 15:00Speaker 1: the people cooking for him, the cell phone usage, the
- 15:02Speaker 1: Instagram scrolling on the cell phone, and various things that
- 15:05Speaker 1: should not have happened. And basically, Diddy— because it's Diddy and
- 15:09Speaker 1: everybody's covering it, everybody's talking about it now, you know, internally,
- 15:12Speaker 1: the prison has to investigate it. Things have been shut down.
- 15:15Speaker 1: I know— Before, when there was a mishap with Diddy,
- 15:20Speaker 1: I reported on this, that Diddy had gotten into an
- 15:23Speaker 1: incident with another inmate. And this was before this incident.
- 15:26Speaker 1: And I've been told by people close to the situation
- 15:29Speaker 1: that the jail was on lockdown at a certain point
- 15:31Speaker 1: because of that, which happens normally, right, when there is
- 15:33Speaker 1: a security breach of any sort or, you know, reports of,
- 15:36Speaker 1: you know, contraband, whatever, things locked down so that they
- 15:39Speaker 1: can figure out what's going on and see how to
- 15:40Speaker 1: correct it. But according to TMZ's report, this guy was
- 15:44Speaker 1: not too happy about that. And then they got into
- 15:46Speaker 1: it from there. Now, Diddy's team, of course, they ain't
- 15:49Speaker 1: never got nothing to tell me when it comes to
- 15:51Speaker 1: stuff like this. They always say he is an adult,
- 15:55Speaker 1: so it's not like the prisons are going to pick
- 15:56Speaker 1: up the phone and call and tell you what is
- 15:58Speaker 1: going on. What they said to me is, we have
- 16:01Speaker 1: no way of independently verifying this. His name is Judas Engelmayer.
- 16:05Speaker 1: He is a rep for Diddy. Our concern is for
- 16:08Speaker 1: Sean's health and well-being. Now, that last line tells me
- 16:11Speaker 1: that even if they can't verify everything, they know something
- 16:13Speaker 1: went down. I spoke to them online. him about maybe
- 16:18Speaker 1: two days ago when this reporting first happened. And he
- 16:21Speaker 1: told me that Diddy, they had, he wouldn't confirm whether
- 16:25Speaker 1: or not Diddy was in the shoe. My line of
- 16:28Speaker 1: questioning to him was, I'm confused. Last week, I called
- 16:32Speaker 1: you and I said, hey, there's reports that Diddy is
- 16:34Speaker 1: in the shoe, which is solitary confinement, because of all
- 16:36Speaker 1: the contraband reports based on that exclusive report that came
- 16:40Speaker 1: from NBC News. He would not confirm or deny that,
- 16:43Speaker 1: but he wouldn't deny it. I then went on to
- 16:45Speaker 1: ask him, well, if he was in the shoe, how
- 16:48Speaker 1: did he get into it with another inmate? Was this
- 16:51Speaker 1: a self-inflicted harm? Was this something he got into it
- 16:55Speaker 1: with a guard? How did this happen? He could not
- 16:58Speaker 1: give me any detail, would not tell me anything. I
- 17:01Speaker 1: then asked, well, when's the last time you guys spoke
- 17:04Speaker 1: to him? He says, oh, we actually spoke to him
- 17:06Speaker 1: at the last weekend, the end of last week, last weekend.
- 17:10Speaker 1: I said, OK, well, if you spoke to him at
- 17:11Speaker 1: the end of last week, last weekend, you should know
- 17:13Speaker 1: whether he was selling a shoe or not. He says, well,
- 17:15Speaker 1: that was an attorney call and it is privileged. It's confidential.
- 17:18Speaker 1: I can't disclose that unless we're given direction to and
- 17:21Speaker 1: we have not been given direction to. And I'm like, OK,
- 17:25Speaker 1: so I go and verify. Yes, you are able to
- 17:27Speaker 1: have attorney calls while you're in solitary confinement, even though
- 17:30Speaker 1: a lot of your other privileges are taken from you.
- 17:32Speaker 1: The way that these reports are set up around this
- 17:34Speaker 1: new detail around this incident of this drug lord being
- 17:37Speaker 1: the person that Diddy got into it with. What they're
- 17:39Speaker 1: saying happened is that Diddy was let out for like
- 17:41Speaker 1: you get like maybe like an hour break at some point. Right.
- 17:45Speaker 1: And Diddy was let out for that hour or whatever.
- 17:47Speaker 1: So break that he gets from the shoe. And that's
- 17:50Speaker 1: when the incident happened between him and this dude is
- 17:54Speaker 1: the guy. Let me get this right before you get me.
- 17:57Speaker 1: And that is when the incident happened between Diddy and
- 17:59Speaker 1: dude is the other inmate. I then reached back out
- 18:02Speaker 1: to Diddy's team and I'm like, hey, here's the reporting.
- 18:06Speaker 1: Last week, I asked you, did you guys speak to him?
- 18:08Speaker 1: You said you did speak to him at the end
- 18:10Speaker 1: of last week. I then verified why I gave you
- 18:13Speaker 1: guys a timeline again. He would have still been in
- 18:15Speaker 1: the shoe. I said, is that why he needed to
- 18:17Speaker 1: speak to an attorney, his attorney last week? They couldn't
- 18:21Speaker 1: tell me anything. You know, all they're saying is that
- 18:22Speaker 1: they're focused on his well-being. That is all I have here.
- 18:25Speaker 1: You know, TMZ has a source on the— it' s very much
- 18:28Speaker 1: so seeming like on the inside because a lot of
- 18:31Speaker 1: the information that is happening, they're not even— his team is
- 18:35Speaker 1: either not willing to confirm or they're waiting to hear
- 18:37Speaker 1: from him or for him to get in contact with
- 18:40Speaker 1: his attorney in order to confirm. So— and then, you know, BOP,
- 18:43Speaker 1: the Bureau of Prisons, the actual Fort Dix and, you know,
- 18:47Speaker 1: leadership there, they don't comment on certain things because of
- 18:49Speaker 1: inmate safety. So that's where we're left with this. But
- 18:54Speaker 1: those reportings about him bumping his head or hitting his
- 18:57Speaker 1: head or whatever the injury was with his head did
- 19:00Speaker 1: state that he was OK, that it was not life
- 19:03Speaker 1: or death, that it was not life concerning and that
- 19:05Speaker 1: he was OK. So that's where the story is now.
- 19:09Speaker 1: All of this seems extremely insane. It almost sounds like
- 19:13Speaker 1: a movie, but Dudas is an inmate at Fort Dick's.
- 19:17Speaker 1: He is there serving time. You know, you had these
- 19:20Speaker 1: inmates who did go on record, even though they were not.
- 19:22Speaker 1: That's a lie. They did not go on record. You
- 19:25Speaker 1: have these inmates who anonymously gave these stories to these outlets.
- 19:27Speaker 1: There were photos of the food and different things. So
- 19:29Speaker 1: people did go on to believe it. I mean, look,
- 19:33Speaker 1: that's just where we are now. We know that Diddy's
- 19:36Speaker 1: time was, you know, pushed back and extended a bit,
- 19:39Speaker 1: about a month. And, you know, all of that. There's
- 19:43Speaker 1: stories about his infractions and different fights that he's gotten
- 19:46Speaker 1: into and, you know, being caught with cell phones and
- 19:48Speaker 1: different things that have happened. So I say all this
- 19:51Speaker 1: to say that right now, it's a lot of like,
- 19:54Speaker 1: we're hearing this and we're hearing that and the source
- 19:56Speaker 1: this and the source that. Kind of what happens when
- 19:59Speaker 1: you're in a position like Diddy is in. But there
- 20:02Speaker 1: has been nothing official from his team, and we'll honestly
- 20:04Speaker 1: have to wait on that. And I think, because a
- 20:07Speaker 1: lot of you may be listening and be like, well,
- 20:08Speaker 1: why would they even comment on that, right? Like, it's
- 20:09Speaker 1: a legal situation. They don't have to. In my opinion,
- 20:14Speaker 1: the information they do get, I think they're going to
- 20:16Speaker 1: want to because Diddy's still up for an appeal. They
- 20:19Speaker 1: want to make a plea to the public. They want
- 20:22Speaker 1: to have something together for when he gets in. I mean,
- 20:24Speaker 1: all of this is literally in real time. There are
- 20:27Speaker 1: there's a panel of judges that are watching his conduct
- 20:30Speaker 1: to see if an appeal makes sense. I was told
- 20:34Speaker 1: that they could hear back on the appeal any day
- 20:36Speaker 1: now this week specifically. It's been any day now, you know,
- 20:39Speaker 1: since the appeal was submitted. But I was told that
- 20:41Speaker 1: they were, you know, on the edge of their seats
- 20:43Speaker 1: thinking something might come back this week. After hearing about
- 20:46Speaker 1: all of his infractions, this alleged infraction, let me say alleged,
- 20:50Speaker 1: this alleged physical altercation with this other inmate, don't know
- 20:54Speaker 1: how that appeal situation is looking for him. If the
- 20:58Speaker 1: judge in the beginning of all of this, when we
- 21:00Speaker 1: were in that courtroom when Diddy was sentenced, the judge
- 21:03Speaker 1: said to him that his lack of respect for authority
- 21:06Speaker 1: was the issue and it makes him a danger to
- 21:09Speaker 1: the community because of all the resources and the power
- 21:11Speaker 1: that he has. If that is still in the back
- 21:13Speaker 1: of any judge's mind, This is not a good week
- 21:16Speaker 1: for an appeal. Honestly, this has just not been a
- 21:18Speaker 1: good ride for an appeal in general. But that's the
- 21:22Speaker 1: latest with Lauren La Rosa. I'll bring you guys, of course,
- 21:24Speaker 1: any updates I get. I am trying to work my
- 21:25Speaker 1: own way and get my own source in. I appreciate
- 21:28Speaker 1: everybody out there doing their own work and their own
- 21:30Speaker 1: due diligence, but I like to get it from the source.
- 21:33Speaker 1: And right now, some of this stuff is just not
- 21:34Speaker 1: adding up for me. So I have a lot of
- 21:36Speaker 1: questions that you guys know I'm not afraid to ask,
- 21:38Speaker 1: and I'll bring those answers right back here to the
- 21:41Speaker 1: latest with Lauren La Rosa, the podcast, when I get them,
- 21:43Speaker 1: because I will. Thank you guys for tuning in. I
- 21:47Speaker 1: tell y'all every single episode, my lowriders, y'all could be
- 21:50Speaker 1: anywhere with any old body, but you guys choose to
- 21:53Speaker 1: be right here with me. I'll catch you in my
- 21:54Speaker 1: next one.
