Speaker 1: you know, getting my logistics together because baby Girl been

Speaker 1: moving and grooving and it's just important because I want
1:50
Speaker 1: to make sure that as I'm burning my candle, all
1:52
Speaker 1: these ends nothing suffering, which is not always possible, but
1:58
Speaker 1: balance is important. Now up first, in the latest rapper Silento,
2:05
Speaker 1: you guys will know him from the song Whip nine
2:09
Speaker 1: got sentenced to thirty years in prison after he pled
2:14
Speaker 1: guilty to the killing of his cousin. Now, this shooting
2:18
Speaker 1: happened back in twenty twenty one, and this is just
2:22
Speaker 1: a little bit background on the story before we talk
2:23
Speaker 1: about the sentencing. So back in twenty twenty one, Silento's
2:29
Speaker 1: cousin was found on the scene of a shooting. There
2:31
Speaker 1: were multiple gunshot wounds. There were you know, a ton
2:35
Speaker 1: of bullet casings found in the scene as well too.
2:38
Speaker 1: But then police found surveillance footage that later showed Silento
2:42
Speaker 1: leaving the area. He was in a white BMW. So
2:45
Speaker 1: eventually investigators were able to use the ballistics those shell
2:49
Speaker 1: casings that were left at the scene in a gun
2:53
Speaker 1: that they found in Silento's possession to link him to
2:56
Speaker 1: the shooting of his cousin, who died from the shooting. Now,
3:00
Speaker 1: ten days later after this was you know, all this
3:03
Speaker 1: happened and he was linked to it, and you know,
3:04
Speaker 1: he was taking in tucussody. Silento eventually confessed to a
3:08
Speaker 1: slang but he said that a lot of what happened
3:12
Speaker 1: was because of a mental health crisis that he suffered
3:15
Speaker 1: from since he was a child, and it was reported
3:18
Speaker 1: that in twenty twenty he.
3:19
Speaker 2: Tried to take his own life.
3:21
Speaker 1: But despite you know, claiming the mental health crisis and
3:24
Speaker 1: all of the things, there was a judge yesterday that
3:27
Speaker 1: still thought that thirty years behind bars was the proper punishment.
3:32
Speaker 1: So it was a Decap County District attorney who announced
3:36
Speaker 1: that Silento, twenty seven years old, had pled guilty to
3:40
Speaker 1: voluntary manslaughter, aggravated assault in possession of a firearm during
3:44
Speaker 1: a commission of a crime, as well as concealing the
3:48
Speaker 1: death of another which is his cousin, Frederick Rooks the third.
3:52
Speaker 1: So I received exclusively a statement from Silento via his
3:57
Speaker 1: rep in a statement from his rep about the incident,
4:00
Speaker 1: and what his rep told me was that she had
4:02
Speaker 1: spoken directly with Silento and that he would like to
4:05
Speaker 1: extend his heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has reached out
4:08
Speaker 1: with prayers, words of encouragement and support during this incredibly
4:12
Speaker 1: difficult time. Now, according to this statement and what I
4:16
Speaker 1: was told, Silento really wants his family, his fans, and
4:19
Speaker 1: his support is to know that he is deeply sorry
4:21
Speaker 1: for the pain and the disappointment that he has caused. Now,
4:24
Speaker 1: this part of the statement comes directly from Silento. He says,
4:28
Speaker 1: I will continue to make music and work on becoming
4:30
Speaker 1: the best possible version of myself. I can't reverse time,
4:34
Speaker 1: but I can serve the time I've been given lawfully
4:36
Speaker 1: and strive to positively contribute to whatever my new environment
4:40
Speaker 1: may be. I entered this industry as a teenager, often
4:42
Speaker 1: without proper guidance a direction. While that is not an excuse,
4:45
Speaker 1: it is a part of my truth. I pray for growth, evolution,
4:48
Speaker 1: and the ability to find forgiveness for myself and for
4:51
Speaker 1: my entire situation.
4:52
Speaker 2: God bless y'all. Now know.
4:54
Speaker 1: One of the things that the rep told me was
4:56
Speaker 1: that they wanted this statement to mark a step toward
4:58
Speaker 1: healing and much needed closure for everybody that was affected,
5:01
Speaker 1: and they're asking that the public continue to pray for
5:04
Speaker 1: all parties involved, including Silento as he continues to you know,
5:09
Speaker 1: deal with this and now having to serve this time
5:12
Speaker 1: and the severe mental health challenges that he deals with now.
5:15
Speaker 1: When I posted this story to my ex account, I'mlaura
5:18
Speaker 1: la Rosa. Everywhere into my Instagram, a lot of you
5:21
Speaker 1: guys were commenting, so you know, this kind of takes
5:24
Speaker 1: us outside into the streets, in the tweets, outside, we outside,
5:29
Speaker 1: we outside, outside every page because a lot of you
5:34
Speaker 1: guys had opinions on this. Somebody commented via my Instagram
5:38
Speaker 1: Laura l Rosa and said, focus on her sentence, King,
5:40
Speaker 1: We're going on the music right now. People were commenting
5:44
Speaker 1: with a lot of the same sentiments of prayers for
5:46
Speaker 1: both sides of the family because they're you know, it's
5:50
Speaker 1: two lives lost. There were some people who didn't feel
5:53
Speaker 1: bad for him. Somebody said, you know, he so he
5:56
Speaker 1: did this to his cousin, and we're supposed to feel
5:58
Speaker 1: bad for him. And another person commented that I thought
6:01
Speaker 1: that this was interesting. I'm stuck explaining these crimes to
6:03
Speaker 1: my kid. These artists need to get it together. When
6:06
Speaker 1: you get fame and a few dollars, get the help,
6:08
Speaker 1: you really need to get situated. To get situated, there
6:11
Speaker 1: are people looking up to you now, y'all, something like
6:14
Speaker 1: this is such a seri unfortunate series of events because
6:19
Speaker 1: you know, taking someone's life, you have to do the
6:22
Speaker 1: time for that.
6:22
Speaker 2: Like, I don't think that there is too much empathy.
6:26
Speaker 1: You know that is given or not even empathy, But
6:29
Speaker 1: I don't think that anyone's debating that. Like I didn't
6:32
Speaker 1: see too much conversation about like, wow, thirty years or
6:34
Speaker 1: anything like that, because there's a person who now is
6:36
Speaker 1: not living and breathing because of the decisions that were made.
6:40
Speaker 1: But a lot of people felt like Silento is so
6:44
Speaker 1: young and he's gone through these mental health issues. It's
6:46
Speaker 1: just sad to see because he had a whole career
6:49
Speaker 1: ahead of him and now his life is going He's
6:51
Speaker 1: spending the rest of his life behind bars.
6:55
Speaker 2: So weigh in.
6:55
Speaker 1: Let me know how you guys feel, what you think
6:59
Speaker 1: on either side of this, Are you sending you know,
7:01
Speaker 1: any empathy towards Silento because of the mental health illness
7:04
Speaker 1: that he deals with. I know they brought up his team,
7:06
Speaker 1: brought up the fact that he was young and navigating
7:09
Speaker 1: the industry and different things by himself most of the time.
7:12
Speaker 1: Or is it just a simple thing of it. It's
7:13
Speaker 1: sad to see on both sides. But you do the crime.
7:16
Speaker 1: You gotta do the time. We want to hear from y'all,
7:18
Speaker 1: so let me know, and y'all don't hold back online,
7:21
Speaker 1: so you know, don't hold back in response to me.
7:23
Speaker 2: We want to know how you guys feel.
7:25
Speaker 1: Here at the latest with Lauren le Rosa now in
7:30
Speaker 1: other news, because y'all know, I love taking you out
7:32
Speaker 1: of court a.
7:32
Speaker 2: Lot of take you out of court.
7:35
Speaker 1: Yesterday we talked very very very briefly about Diddy and
7:40
Speaker 1: what's been happening on the stand. I'm actually running late,
7:42
Speaker 1: but on my way to court right now. Not well,
7:45
Speaker 1: not right now, because y'all know sometimes I'll even do
7:47
Speaker 1: do the podcasts in the back of a uber because
7:48
Speaker 1: I got to make sure y'all get the episodes. But
7:51
Speaker 1: after I wrap this podcast, I will be headed to court.
7:54
Speaker 1: Jane Doe is still on the stand. She's going, you know,
7:57
Speaker 1: through her cross examination, which's where Diddy's team continues to
8:00
Speaker 1: ask her questions, and again the government is painting this
8:05
Speaker 1: whole picture of trafficking and coercion through her testimony, saying
8:09
Speaker 1: that like, you know, alleging that she was under pressure
8:12
Speaker 1: because she was so in love, and you know, Diddy
8:15
Speaker 1: was and still is up until now, paying you know,
8:18
Speaker 1: for things financially for her. But on the other end,
8:21
Speaker 1: Diddy's teams painting the picture that this woman was, you know,
8:24
Speaker 1: just a scorned you know, allegedly a scorned woman who
8:29
Speaker 1: resented Diddy because she was in love and didn't get
8:32
Speaker 1: what she wanted. And that's what we're witnessing and seeing
8:35
Speaker 1: in this testimony. Now, there has been some points made
8:39
Speaker 1: right on both sides. So on the government side, you know,
8:42
Speaker 1: they had Jane testify about a time where things got
8:47
Speaker 1: physical with her and Diddy, even though they alleged that
8:51
Speaker 1: she slammed his head into a marble counter. But what
8:54
Speaker 1: they tried to do was they tried to show, you know,
8:57
Speaker 1: in exchange basically what their physical exchange was, to show
9:01
Speaker 1: that there was some physical like there was a physical
9:05
Speaker 1: angle as far as reaction or retaliation if you want
9:11
Speaker 1: to say, an alleged retaliation when it came to this relationship,
9:15
Speaker 1: Like it wasn't all just emotional and feelings and jealousy.
9:18
Speaker 1: There were physical elements, which is, you know what the
9:21
Speaker 1: government has been painting through a lot of their testimonies
9:24
Speaker 1: when it comes to Diddy. So this is no different
9:26
Speaker 1: that in that matter, and that physical incident that they
9:29
Speaker 1: talked about or that they alleged they alleged happened after
9:33
Speaker 1: did he went on a trip to Utah with his family.
9:35
Speaker 1: He came back from Utah and allegedly Jane Doe was
9:39
Speaker 1: upset because she thought that he was on a trip
9:41
Speaker 1: with another woman, and she alleged then the other woman
9:44
Speaker 1: was really young, so she called Diddy a pedophile allegedly,
9:47
Speaker 1: and things just escalated from there and turn physical with
9:49
Speaker 1: both of them being physical with each other. But they showed,
9:53
Speaker 1: you know, photos of a door being kicked in because
9:55
Speaker 1: she alleged that did he kicked multiple doors in her
9:58
Speaker 1: house and and drugger around the house by her hair
10:00
Speaker 1: allegedly and punched her over and over, they alleged all
10:05
Speaker 1: of the things, following her slamming his head into a
10:10
Speaker 1: marble counter allegedly. But they also again are still talking
10:14
Speaker 1: a lot about the free calls. And one of the
10:16
Speaker 1: things that they pointed out with the free calls was that,
10:18
Speaker 1: you know, the government is saying she did not want
10:22
Speaker 1: to do the allegend she didn't want to do these
10:24
Speaker 1: free calls, and she was she was coerced to do
10:26
Speaker 1: so because of her love and because of you know,
10:28
Speaker 1: she felt like she had to play her role in
10:30
Speaker 1: order to keep up her lifestyle and because she loved
10:32
Speaker 1: her partner.
10:32
Speaker 2: Allegedly.
10:33
Speaker 1: Right.
10:33
Speaker 2: But Diddy's team missing.
10:35
Speaker 1: But you enjoyed the free calls, that's what they're alleging,
10:39
Speaker 1: and that you use these freak calls allegedly because you
10:41
Speaker 1: you yes, you love this man and you still love
10:43
Speaker 1: him to this day, allegedly, right, But you use them
10:46
Speaker 1: to be in power or control of your own and
10:48
Speaker 1: they brought in the conversation that Jane had with Diddy
10:53
Speaker 1: after she saw that he was on a Valentine's Day
10:56
Speaker 1: trip with Young Miami, and you know, in testimony came
11:00
Speaker 1: out that after she saw this, right, she shot over
11:04
Speaker 1: these you know, she hit him up and she's like, yo,
11:07
Speaker 1: she dangled to freak golf in front of them. And
11:10
Speaker 1: when she dangled the freak golf, he ended a trip
11:11
Speaker 1: early and came back her way and the trip was
11:15
Speaker 1: with Young Miami, and that was This has been a
11:17
Speaker 1: consistent point of both sides of the testimony, both the
11:20
Speaker 1: government and Diddy's team. They're just using it for different
11:22
Speaker 1: reasons to point out different things, but it has been
11:25
Speaker 1: very consistent with this Jane Doe that she would see
11:28
Speaker 1: him with other women and be jealous because she wanted
11:30
Speaker 1: more to the relationship that she never got, including when
11:33
Speaker 1: she you know, saw the alleged when she saw the
11:37
Speaker 1: Cassie beating video and she says that she was with
11:40
Speaker 1: him that they did that released and then she let
11:42
Speaker 1: she didn't see him for like a month after that,
11:44
Speaker 1: and then that's on that physical altercation went down in Utah.
11:48
Speaker 1: But there's also conversations on the sand like audios that
11:52
Speaker 1: they're playing. Uh, you know, once everything dropped with Cassie,
11:56
Speaker 1: him reaching out to Jane Doe and having to yo,
12:00
Speaker 1: I need your support right now, I needs your friendship.
12:02
Speaker 1: And in these audio recordings you hear him say or
12:05
Speaker 1: you recorded me, he's also like not really trying to talk,
12:08
Speaker 1: so he knew things were about to get real.
12:10
Speaker 2: And she's just like she's hurt.
12:13
Speaker 1: She's hurt that again you know, have to see him
12:16
Speaker 1: with another woman in any instance. But she also keeps
12:19
Speaker 1: going back to she didn't want to do the free calls, right,
12:23
Speaker 1: She's not. The conversation is so like you got to
12:26
Speaker 1: read in between the lines because Diddy is isn't really
12:29
Speaker 1: letting her talk freely because he keeps saying I shouldn't
12:32
Speaker 1: even be talking on these phones. He even goes as
12:34
Speaker 1: far as to say, when you need me called Kk's phone.
12:37
Speaker 2: Who is you know?
12:38
Speaker 1: The woman that has been referred to so much in
12:41
Speaker 1: this case because she was working so closely with him.
12:43
Speaker 1: But he says clearly on this audio, like you even
12:48
Speaker 1: brought me a videotape on my birthday to tape the
12:51
Speaker 1: things that we were doing.
12:52
Speaker 2: I thought you enjoyed the nights, And you.
12:54
Speaker 1: Know, she's trying to point at and get to this
12:56
Speaker 1: was consensual, and she's like, you know, I've been crying
12:58
Speaker 1: for days and you might feel that way, but I
13:01
Speaker 1: really don't like that. It's that conversation where you know
13:05
Speaker 1: she's having to tell him, you know, you look at
13:08
Speaker 1: things one way. I look at things a different way.
13:10
Speaker 1: But I think with this, it's with her testimony. The
13:13
Speaker 1: biggest thing is going to be how does the jury
13:15
Speaker 1: already feel about Diddy? Because if the jury already hates
13:19
Speaker 1: him or despises him, or feels however, they feel about
13:21
Speaker 1: him negatively because of all the other testimony, all of
13:24
Speaker 1: the other things, her testimony is only going to add
13:27
Speaker 1: to that, like, we don't like this man. We don't
13:33
Speaker 1: believe that, you know, this was a scorned woman who
13:35
Speaker 1: was just in love. We believe that this horrible person
13:40
Speaker 1: in their eyes, right, this, this electorable person, did these
13:43
Speaker 1: things and manipulated and took over this woman.
13:45
Speaker 2: Now, if the if Diddy's team is doing.
13:47
Speaker 1: Their job, the jury will look at it the other
13:50
Speaker 1: way and they'll say, wait, so she was enjoying these
13:53
Speaker 1: allegedly right like to the point where they brought up
13:55
Speaker 1: one conversation she was having where you know, she referred
13:59
Speaker 1: to one of the like the escorts that they used
14:03
Speaker 1: to do the free Costs with. She referred to her
14:06
Speaker 1: Diddy and him as like the trifecta, like Kobe, Michael
14:09
Speaker 1: Jordan and Shaq. The escort was Shaq, Diddy was Michael
14:13
Speaker 1: Jordan and she was Kobe. Didy even talk about at
14:16
Speaker 1: one point how she went out and brought matching shorts
14:18
Speaker 1: for them to where during run of the Free Costs.
14:22
Speaker 1: But again, the government is going to bring this in
14:24
Speaker 1: and have a conversation about it a little bit differently
14:26
Speaker 1: because the government is like, Okay, well you might have
14:29
Speaker 1: done that, but you know, they allow her to say
14:31
Speaker 1: I was just playing my role, doing what I had
14:33
Speaker 1: to do to get by.
14:34
Speaker 2: I didn't want to do them. Diddy's team is going
14:36
Speaker 2: to come.
14:36
Speaker 1: Right back in and say, no, that shows you had power,
14:39
Speaker 1: That shows you had controlling this. That shows you how
14:40
Speaker 1: an option, That showed you wanted these things to happen,
14:43
Speaker 1: and you had influence over him because you knew that
14:46
Speaker 1: these sexual explortations that he liked to do was just
14:50
Speaker 1: that and you use it to your benefit. So We'll
14:53
Speaker 1: have to see how this whole thing plays out. I mean,
14:54
Speaker 1: we are coming to the end. Yesterday in court it
14:57
Speaker 1: was announced that the government will rust the case by
15:00
Speaker 1: the end of next week, so either Wednesday likely Friday,
15:04
Speaker 1: they will rest their case and then Ditty's team will
15:06
Speaker 1: have until right up before right up until July fourth
15:09
Speaker 1: to present their case and bring witnesses on the stand.
15:12
Speaker 1: The biggest question here is will Diddy take the stand.
15:15
Speaker 1: It has not been set indefinitely that he will not.
15:19
Speaker 1: I think it's unlikely that he will, but I'm trying
15:21
Speaker 1: to figure out who will Diddy's witnesses be, like, what
15:25
Speaker 1: will be powerful enough to turn the other coin on
15:28
Speaker 1: so many of the things that we've heard.
15:30
Speaker 2: And seen up until this point. So I'm headed to court, y'all.
15:32
Speaker 1: I will be bringing y'all the latest as always, and
15:35
Speaker 1: we'll have some bonus content for you guys as well too,
15:38
Speaker 1: as I'm making my court videos and just different things.
