- 4:48Speaker 6: Ruligan, Hey y'all. Hey, well, welcome back. It feels good
- 4:52Speaker 6: to be back. So let's get into it. First step
- 4:54Speaker 6: on front page. Yesterday was Memorial Day and President Trump
- 4:58Speaker 6: honored those who gave their lives serving in the military.
- 5:00Speaker 6: He visited Arlington National Cemetery to mark the occasion and
- 5:04Speaker 6: participated in the reath laying ceremony at the tomb of
- 5:08Speaker 6: the Unknown Soldier before delivering remarks. Now, he said, he
- 5:12Speaker 6: that he, of course, and we would be lost without
- 5:15Speaker 6: our service members, while also honoring gold Star families.
- 5:18Speaker 7: Just take a listen to his comments.
- 5:21Speaker 8: And every hour of peril and every moment of crisis,
- 5:24Speaker 8: American warriors have left behind the blessings of home and
- 5:28Speaker 8: family to answer.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Their nation's call.
- 5:32Speaker 9: They've offered all that.
- 5:33Speaker 8: They had within them and given their last breaths to
- 5:38Speaker 8: each and every one of us, that we might live safe.
- 5:42Speaker 8: Every ghost, our family fight, say battle long after the
- 5:45Speaker 8: victory is won, and today we lift you up and
- 5:49Speaker 8: we hold you high.
- 5:51Speaker 2: He must have took it marriage.
- 5:52Speaker 10: Then.
- 5:52Speaker 3: That was team compared to what he put on social
- 5:54Speaker 3: media when he said Happy Memorial Day to all, including
- 5:57Speaker 3: the scum that spent the last four years to destroy
- 6:00Speaker 3: our country through warped radical left minds.
- 6:04Speaker 2: Man got cancer. You're just still shooting at it.
- 6:06Speaker 1: You know, we just don't care.
- 6:08Speaker 7: Yeah, that's that's crazy.
- 6:09Speaker 6: But Trump did say that we're sharing this all with
- 6:11Speaker 6: the families of fallen service members. He added that those
- 6:13Speaker 6: service members gave everything and asked for nothing. And I
- 6:17Speaker 6: like to take it a step further, and you know,
- 6:19Speaker 6: to those who have lost someone that has served, we
- 6:22Speaker 6: continue to salute their service and sacrifice because we know
- 6:25Speaker 6: for you, every day is Memorial Day. So but moving on.
- 6:28Speaker 6: In unfortunate news, this comes as a congress member. We're
- 6:32Speaker 6: mourning the loss of a congress member, former New York
- 6:35Speaker 6: representative and Korean War veteran, Charlie Raanjel, who died eighth
- 6:40Speaker 6: rangele is okay, Well, you guys know, y'all in New York.
- 6:46Speaker 6: So Rango, often referred to as the Lion of Harlem,
- 6:49Speaker 6: died on Memorial Day surrounded by family. He was elected
- 6:52Speaker 6: to Congress in nineteen seventy one, where he served for
- 6:55Speaker 6: forty six years, becoming the House Ways and Means Chairman
- 6:59Speaker 6: in two thousand. He was the primary sponsor of forty
- 7:03Speaker 6: bills during his tenure, including President Obama's Affordable Care Act,
- 7:06Speaker 6: the Low Income Housing Tax Credit, and the so called
- 7:10Speaker 6: rang you called it Wrango Amendment aimed at ending apartheid
- 7:15Speaker 6: in South Africa. Now, New York City Mayor Eric Adams
- 7:17Speaker 6: it's saluting Wrangle as a true American and House Minority
- 7:20Speaker 6: Leader Hakim Jeffries is calling him a trailblazer and champion
- 7:24Speaker 6: for justice. Of course, right now there's no word or
- 7:27Speaker 6: details surrounding his death or funeral arrangements, but of course
- 7:31Speaker 6: we are continuing to mourn his loss, and we will
- 7:35Speaker 6: mark the occasion, you know, by honoring him as well,
- 7:40Speaker 6: considering the fact that he was a Korean War vet.
- 7:44Speaker 6: But that's your front page news for six am. At
- 7:46Speaker 6: seven am, we'll talk about President Trump and how he
- 7:49Speaker 6: feels about current President of Vladimir Putin, Russian psident Vladimir
- 7:53Speaker 6: Putin calling him absolutely crazy. And then we'll also get
- 7:55Speaker 6: into the big beautiful Bill, because you know that's moving
- 7:58Speaker 6: forward in the Senate right now.

- 8:37Speaker 1: Tanya?
- 8:38Speaker 12: Hey, man, I just need to get off my chest.
- 8:40Speaker 12: At our Omar police department are a bunch of in
- 8:44Speaker 12: are a bunch of gang members.
- 8:46Speaker 10: Man.
- 8:47Speaker 12: They they they shoot and killing on black people with
- 8:52Speaker 12: no accountability, with no transparency. Let us know what's going on.
- 8:57Speaker 12: They released the body cam footage of an instant that
- 9:00Speaker 12: that happened like three four days later. They shoot the
- 9:03Speaker 12: man outside of his home. He just graduated high school.
- 9:08Speaker 12: He was from I believe Sudan, and there's no accountability
- 9:14Speaker 12: for it.
- 9:15Speaker 4: We'll find.
- 9:17Speaker 12: I'm not even gonna lie to you. I can't even
- 9:18Speaker 12: pronounce it. I'm a butcher and he was from Sudan.
- 9:22Speaker 12: It was a nineteen year old.
- 9:24Speaker 1: And it was Janidi Ibrahim.
- 9:29Speaker 2: It seems like.
- 9:29Speaker 12: It, yeah, and he was like it was. It's crazy
- 9:33Speaker 12: because like the police do this type of scess and
- 9:36Speaker 12: then they fire him, but then they get hired up
- 9:40Speaker 12: with the Sheriff's department. And that just happened in Omaha,
- 9:44Speaker 12: Like it is not right they do. Omar police department
- 9:48Speaker 12: just fired another cop and then he gets hired with
- 9:52Speaker 12: the sheriff's department. He kills somebody for the no knock
- 9:56Speaker 12: warrant and he was fired by the police department, but
- 10:01Speaker 12: then I hire them with the Sheriff's department.
- 10:03Speaker 3: You know what's crazy. I haven't heard anything about these cases.
- 10:06Speaker 3: Like I just googled the case, you know about the
- 10:09Speaker 3: guy from Sudanne that was five days ago, but I
- 10:11Speaker 3: hadn't heard anything about it.
- 10:13Speaker 12: Yeah, and I'm telling you it happens all the time
- 10:16Speaker 12: here in Omaha. Like Obah really has a real problem
- 10:20Speaker 12: and it's swept under the rug. Like I think it's
- 10:23Speaker 12: because we're a republican state that the news just so
- 10:28Speaker 12: they don't cover.
- 10:29Speaker 13: It the right way.
- 10:30Speaker 12: They don't and they try to make it seem like
- 10:33Speaker 12: where the minorities here are the problem, when it's really
- 10:37Speaker 12: it's also police force. We can't it's like really having
- 10:41Speaker 12: like brave masters on our neck. Like you can't drive
- 10:43Speaker 12: down here at a certain time without getting pulled over
- 10:47Speaker 12: because you know, if you're driving at three o'clock in
- 10:49Speaker 12: the morning, because I'll work in the morning, you gonna
- 10:52Speaker 12: get bumped us. So I'll moved my time back to

- 15:33Speaker 3: called because you need teachers who care. You have a
- 15:36Speaker 3: bunch of teachers who do not care the fact that

- 16:10Speaker 10: good idea to accept that jet. But I also want
- 16:13Speaker 10: to say that, you know, I want to congratulate in
- 16:15Speaker 10: Charlotte Mane. When he speaks about the jet, he said
- 16:18Speaker 10: they can't know what he's talking about. But now I
- 16:20Speaker 10: know this ignan talk his part. You know, the first
- 16:23Speaker 10: time he read the article at a constitution that says
- 16:26Speaker 10: it's legal to take the jet, he read the part
- 16:29Speaker 10: all the way to the period that said unless he
- 16:31Speaker 10: had consent for concrets. But now when you hear him
- 16:33Speaker 10: read that, he leaves that part out. So again, I
- 16:36Speaker 10: just wanted it should have been a dunky of today,
- 16:38Speaker 10: but I couldn't.
- 16:38Speaker 9: Ever get through.

- 16:53Speaker 10: the legal to accept get some foreign ations. And you
- 16:55Speaker 10: read all the way to the period where it said
- 16:58Speaker 10: unless he had conceptful concert but.

- 24:56Speaker 18: our family?
- 24:56Speaker 2: Because is Michael?
- 24:58Speaker 4: Yeah to say that, but now you said Tasha Smith

- 25:05Speaker 4: like Eminem, but no, she really They looked so good snatched.
- 25:09Speaker 16: She looked amazing.
- 25:10Speaker 18: But speaking of Eminem, uh, people were very upset last night.
- 25:15Speaker 16: Eminem beat out some of the.
- 25:17Speaker 18: Biggest Well he's a big hip hop artist, but Eminem
- 25:19Speaker 18: beat out Drake, Kendrick, Lamar, Future Tyler, the creator for
- 25:23Speaker 18: favorite male hip hop.
- 25:25Speaker 16: Artists of last year of all time favorite male time.
- 25:30Speaker 2: It can't be for last year.
- 25:32Speaker 4: Favorite mal because slept on that Mad album. He had
- 25:35Speaker 4: his last album.
- 25:38Speaker 2: It was the name of the look on the album
- 25:42Speaker 2: last year.
- 25:43Speaker 16: Yes, he did have an I remember that.
- 25:45Speaker 2: What I'm saying, it's no possim.
- 25:47Speaker 4: Up here saying that that's.
- 25:49Speaker 1: My favorite Kendrick's album. You got Drake's. There's so many
- 25:52Speaker 1: different projects. Yes, no disrespect to Eminem, but yes, the.
- 25:55Speaker 4: Death of Slim Shady, yes, Coop the Grace.
- 25:57Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't go to that funeral.
- 25:59Speaker 4: I didn't even know yo, like you did, yes funeral
- 26:03Speaker 4: listen and it's the thing.
- 26:04Speaker 1: He went so hard.
- 26:05Speaker 4: He was talking about everything that a black person would
- 26:07Speaker 4: have gotten in trouble for on on the album, like
- 26:12Speaker 4: trans people gave people, people in wheelchairs coming to everybody.
- 26:15Speaker 2: Was it bigger than Kindric album? No?
- 26:17Speaker 4: No, hell no, wasn't bigger than Kendrick album.
- 26:19Speaker 15: No?
- 26:19Speaker 18: But so the according to Google, listen to it, it
- 26:24Speaker 18: must be a voted award. According to Google, the eligibility period,
- 26:29Speaker 18: the data tracking period for nominations typically covers a specific
- 26:32Speaker 18: time frames such as March twenty second, twenty twenty four
- 26:35Speaker 18: through March twenty twenty twenty five, which goes into the
- 26:38Speaker 18: American Music Awards.
- 26:39Speaker 16: That's what Google says to me.
- 26:42Speaker 4: He said he's favorite hip hop artists at the twenty
- 26:45Speaker 4: twenty I'm assuming it was for this year, but I
- 26:47Speaker 4: know that there were a lot of people that were upset.
- 26:49Speaker 16: They were you know they I think they.
- 26:51Speaker 2: Bring in the car.
- 26:52Speaker 1: Nick just said, AMA is a fan voted award. Okay,
- 26:55Speaker 1: that but even no hold on.
- 26:57Speaker 18: I mean, eminem has a huge fan base, but even here,
- 27:01Speaker 18: right here says it goes off a fan interaction, fan.
- 27:03Speaker 3: Voting and them old white men ain't on social media
- 27:07Speaker 3: like that, not like Drake fans and Kendrick fans.
- 27:09Speaker 4: Now right, I'm confused where they pulled the fans at
- 27:12Speaker 4: fake Facebook and.
- 27:13Speaker 16: Eminem is great.
- 27:14Speaker 4: But Eminem is great, y'all.
- 27:16Speaker 2: Y'all gotta listen.
- 27:16Speaker 3: Listen.
- 27:17Speaker 1: He even coming at there's no way in hell Eminem
- 27:20Speaker 1: wins over the year.
- 27:21Speaker 3: That's a very controversial album though if his fan voted,
- 27:25Speaker 3: then his fans voted.
- 27:26Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it just had to be a fan voting
- 27:29Speaker 2: in the wards.
- 27:29Speaker 4: It's just a lot of that flew under the radar
- 27:31Speaker 4: because of the Kendrick and we had a lot of
- 27:33Speaker 4: the things to worry about over here.
- 27:35Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
- 27:36Speaker 3: Maybe Eminem has been great for so long that you
- 27:39Speaker 3: just take them for granted. Now, yes, because the guy
- 27:42Speaker 3: tells two hundred and eighty thousand unitses first week that
- 27:44Speaker 3: that's just Eminem.
- 27:45Speaker 2: He's supposed to But a new artist does that, like
- 27:48Speaker 2: oh wow, yeah.
- 27:49Speaker 18: Because new artist ain't doing that and numbers don't lie
- 27:51Speaker 18: onm is like that according to Illuminate, which is you know,
- 27:55Speaker 18: to give information on the wards breakdown and says a
- 27:57Speaker 18: data partner, this is the data partner. They tracked Keith
- 27:59Speaker 18: fanning interaction metrics including streaming sales and airplay. So and
- 28:04Speaker 18: so they tracked this, they put they coupled that with
- 28:07Speaker 18: the fan votes, and the winner is ultimately choosen by
- 28:11Speaker 18: the public. But that is how you're nominating, that is
- 28:12Speaker 18: how you chosen.
- 28:13Speaker 2: So I still don't see it, but congratulations.
- 28:15Speaker 18: A lot of people shared your sentiment last night, and
- 28:17Speaker 18: I felt like it always anything Eminem wins, whether you
- 28:20Speaker 18: think he deserves it or not, people always have this interaction.
- 28:22Speaker 1: Back in the day, when he was winning, he deserved
- 28:23Speaker 1: he was bossing ass. But now I don't. I just
- 28:25Speaker 1: don't see it. Cosna was upset about it.
- 28:27Speaker 18: To her, Yes he was, and speaking of Casa Nat,
- 28:29Speaker 18: I thought it was so fire that he actually got to.
- 28:31Speaker 16: Present an award last night.

- 30:53Speaker 2: Now.
- 30:53Speaker 1: Last night that's underbeat the Timberwolves one twenty eight, one
- 30:55Speaker 1: twenty six. They leave the series three one and my
- 30:58Speaker 1: next take on the paces tonight at eight pm. So
- 31:02Speaker 1: let's go New York, Go, New York.
- 31:03Speaker 17: Go.
- 31:04Speaker 2: What's up?
- 31:04Speaker 6: Muggains All right, yeah, let's get into it. So President
- 31:08Speaker 6: Trump says Russian President Vladimir Putin has absolutely gone crazy. So,
- 31:13Speaker 6: talking to Truth Social on Sunday, Trump said the two
- 31:16Speaker 6: have always had a good relationship, but something has happened
- 31:20Speaker 6: to Putin. He added that Putin is needlessly killing a
- 31:23Speaker 6: lot of people and that he has always once said
- 31:27Speaker 6: that Putin wants all of Ukraine, not just a piece
- 31:29Speaker 6: of it. Let's take a listen to President Trump's comments
- 31:32Speaker 6: on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
- 31:33Speaker 8: I'm not happy with what Putin's doing.
- 31:36Speaker 2: He's killing a lot of people, and I don't know
- 31:38Speaker 2: what the hell happened to Putin. I've known him a
- 31:40Speaker 2: long time.
- 31:41Speaker 8: Always gotten along with a but he's sending rockets into
- 31:44Speaker 8: cities and killing people, and I don't like it at all.
- 31:48Speaker 10: So.
- 31:48Speaker 6: Ukrainian President Zelenski, in a post on social media on Sunday,
- 31:52Speaker 6: said that nearly three hundred attack drones had been launched
- 31:56Speaker 6: by Russia. Meanwhile, a top democrat in the House Intelligence Committee,
- 32:01Speaker 6: Connecticut's Jim Himes, he told CBS's Face the Nation that
- 32:04Speaker 6: the US needs to apply maximum pressure on Russia and
- 32:07Speaker 6: apply sanctions.
- 32:09Speaker 7: Let's take a listen to his comments.
- 32:10Speaker 22: We really uptick the sanctions, we stop the export of oil.
- 32:14Speaker 22: We pressure India to stop buying Russian oil, and of
- 32:17Speaker 22: course we keep arming the Ukrainians maximize the leverage of
- 32:22Speaker 22: the West so that we can bring this war not
- 32:24Speaker 22: just to a conclusion, but to a fair and just
- 32:27Speaker 22: conclusion that will keep the Russians from invading countries in
- 32:30Speaker 22: the future.
- 32:31Speaker 6: So officials in kievs say that at least twelve people
- 32:33Speaker 6: were injured in a Russian drone attack early on Sunday,
- 32:36Speaker 6: which damaged homes and apartment buildings. So continue to keep
- 32:40Speaker 6: you guys posted on those international affairs.
- 32:43Speaker 3: You know, I've been watching those exchanges, you know, and
- 32:45Speaker 3: it's like those two egos could be the end of
- 32:48Speaker 3: civilization as we know it.
- 32:49Speaker 2: Like I was thinking about that over the weekend.
- 32:51Speaker 7: You need to know name the two. Are you talking
- 32:52Speaker 7: trouble Trump?
- 32:55Speaker 3: You know how they always said Russia and Putin had
- 32:57Speaker 3: something on Trump and they talk about the p tapes
- 32:59Speaker 3: and all that other stuff, and you know, basically Russia
- 33:02Speaker 3: had America in his pocket and they helped to steal
- 33:04Speaker 3: the election. What if all that is true, right, then
- 33:07Speaker 3: Trump has no more use for Putin anymore.
- 33:10Speaker 2: And you know, wouldn't you.
- 33:12Speaker 3: Want to get the guy that allegedly has all of
- 33:15Speaker 3: this black material against against you.
- 33:17Speaker 2: What you want to get him out of here? Absolutely?
- 33:20Speaker 3: You know, so so wouldn't wouldn't wouldn't now be the time?
- 33:24Speaker 3: It just I just don't like when I hear him say,
- 33:27Speaker 3: you know, Putin's crazy, he's lost it, blah blah blah,
- 33:30Speaker 3: and then you know the criminin and they throw a
- 33:32Speaker 3: little shot back like that could get stupid real fast.
- 33:35Speaker 6: Yeah, because then they start talking about nuclear and this exactly,
- 33:39Speaker 6: and we don't need those pigs exactly. Those problems bring
- 33:42Speaker 6: it back to.
- 33:43Speaker 3: That's bigger than the problem, like that would be the
- 33:46Speaker 3: end of civilization as we know it.
- 33:48Speaker 6: And former Surgeon General Vvack Murphy is calling on Congress
- 33:52Speaker 6: to do more to protect children from the harms of
- 33:54Speaker 6: social media. He tells, seeing it hell excuse me NBC's
- 33:57Speaker 6: Meet the Press, that lawmakers need to establish safety standards
- 34:00Speaker 6: for social media platforms because right now there are no
- 34:02Speaker 6: protection for kids. He suggests putting warning labels on social
- 34:06Speaker 6: media platforms and establishing those safety standards. Let's take a
- 34:09Speaker 6: listen to his comments on NBC's Meet the Press.
- 34:12Speaker 7: B veck Marthy.
- 34:13Speaker 23: It's equivalent of putting our kids in cars with no
- 34:15Speaker 23: seat belts, with no airbags, and having them drive on
- 34:18Speaker 23: roads with no speed limits and no traffic lights, and
- 34:21Speaker 23: that is just morally unacceptable. I think Congress has so
- 34:24Speaker 23: far failed in its responsibility to protect our kids, but
- 34:27Speaker 23: it's not too late. They need to step up and
- 34:28Speaker 23: act now. Put warning labels on social media platforms so
- 34:32Speaker 23: that parents and kids are aware of the risks that
- 34:36Speaker 23: we see.
- 34:36Speaker 1: I don't think warning labels are going to change anything.
- 34:39Speaker 1: I mean, your parents just got to be, you know,
- 34:41Speaker 1: watch over their kids much more. But we do have
- 34:43Speaker 1: to figure out something to do. But besides just that,
- 34:45Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys been seeing this new
- 34:46Speaker 1: trend where if it was not even a new trend,
- 34:48Speaker 1: but they've been doing it for a long time. But
- 34:49Speaker 1: it's getting worse and worse and worse. Where these kids
- 34:51Speaker 1: are doing pop ups at malls, so they're putting on
- 34:54Speaker 1: social media and then you'll get five six hundred, seven
- 34:56Speaker 1: hundred one thousand kids at a mall and then they
- 34:59Speaker 1: run to the mall feeling things, fight and getting into altercations.
- 35:02Speaker 1: So it's getting more and more dangerous when it comes
- 35:04Speaker 1: to just social media.
- 35:06Speaker 2: Social media that social media too, because on my platform,
- 35:10Speaker 2: people would running up in stores and taking clothes and
- 35:14Speaker 2: going on way before social media, like they're doing it
- 35:17Speaker 2: every week. I mean it on social media.
- 35:19Speaker 3: I'm saying some people maybe do it for trends, but
- 35:21Speaker 3: I mean they was doing stuff like that way before
- 35:23Speaker 3: social media. I can't I can't blame I can't blame
- 35:26Speaker 3: boosting on social media.
- 35:27Speaker 2: Not as often as it is now.
- 35:29Speaker 7: As a result of that, we.
- 35:31Speaker 2: Got we gotta boost it right over head exactly.
- 35:39Speaker 7: No, you gotta get in and get out.
- 35:41Speaker 6: No. But as a result of that, I know, at
- 35:43Speaker 6: least here in the d n B, they started to
- 35:45Speaker 6: implement a lot of curfews, early curfews, especially on Fridays
- 35:48Speaker 6: and Saturdays, for reasons like early like five p m.
- 35:52Speaker 6: That if you're in the mall or you know, a
- 35:54Speaker 6: town center of some sort before a certain and you're
- 35:58Speaker 6: under the age of eight even sixteen, you know you
- 36:01Speaker 6: need to have an adult with you. Murphy did go
- 36:03Speaker 6: on to say though, that parents should try to keep
- 36:05Speaker 6: children under the age of sixteen off social media if possible,
- 36:08Speaker 6: because kids are being affected in different way than adults,
- 36:11Speaker 6: and they're starting to see it in the actual brain
- 36:14Speaker 6: development and brain activity. So he's also calling on Congress
- 36:18Speaker 6: to require more data transparency so that researchers can betty
- 36:21Speaker 6: better study the effects of social media on young people.
- 36:24Speaker 2: Yeah, that's been going on for a long time.
- 36:26Speaker 3: Like they you know, the mall, either if you were
- 36:28Speaker 3: under eighteen, you had to be accompanied by a parent
- 36:31Speaker 3: a guardian, or they would have a curfew on the weekends.
- 36:35Speaker 3: Like as long as I can remember growing up insc
- 36:37Speaker 3: in line today would need to do that.
- 36:38Speaker 1: You know, that was that was big in the South
- 36:40Speaker 1: because when I went to school in Hampton, it could
- 36:42Speaker 1: only be three people. You can only be in the
- 36:45Speaker 1: more with three people. Other than that, you have to
- 36:47Speaker 1: break it up.
- 36:47Speaker 3: You had to break up there and you had a
- 36:49Speaker 3: cur you know why because they'd be fighting. But also
- 36:51Speaker 3: they'd be running up in the store path and just
- 36:54Speaker 3: taking stuff.
- 36:54Speaker 2: But stuff been.
- 36:55Speaker 3: Going on way before social media. Like that's that's not
- 36:58Speaker 3: a trend. I would blame social media.
- 37:00Speaker 7: It's just now amplified.
- 37:02Speaker 1: Yeah, But in New York we didn't have those type
- 37:03Speaker 1: of curfews of those problems. But when I went with
- 37:05Speaker 1: to school in the South, they definitely did.
- 37:07Speaker 6: All right, So that's your social that's your social media, that's.

- 38:16Speaker 2: Career in the world.
- 38:18Speaker 3: Yes, now you turned a kitchen recipe into a multimillion
- 38:21Speaker 3: dollar brand. Yes, What was the moment you realized you
- 38:24Speaker 3: weren't just selling products, you were actually building a movement.
- 38:28Speaker 24: Well, you know, I went into this knowing that I
- 38:31Speaker 24: was building a movement.
- 38:32Speaker 4: You know.
- 38:32Speaker 25: I created this brand out of necessity. You know, I
- 38:36Speaker 25: felt that there was a lack of relatability in the
- 38:39Speaker 25: haircare space. There was a lack of great products, healthy
- 38:42Speaker 25: products for women that look like me, and I wanted
- 38:46Speaker 25: to fill this boy, But I always operated with a
- 38:49Speaker 25: multi million dollar mindset. I operated with the mindset of like,
- 38:53Speaker 25: I'm going to be on the sholf with these bigger
- 38:54Speaker 25: brands one day eventually. And the day that we launched,
- 38:58Speaker 25: which was made when third our anniversary is actually next week,
- 39:02Speaker 25: and we sought out of every oil that we had,
- 39:05Speaker 25: and we had a small amount of inventory, about one
- 39:07Speaker 25: hundred bottles because I was a small business, didn't know
- 39:10Speaker 25: that it was going to take off the way that
- 39:12Speaker 25: it did. And the day that we launched, we sought
- 39:15Speaker 25: out of every single product. And I knew at that
- 39:18Speaker 25: moment like I'm onto something, because I knew that it
- 39:21Speaker 25: was a need for it.
- 39:22Speaker 3: I loved the multimillion dollar mindset. Explain explain that to
- 39:26Speaker 3: people for those who may not have one.
- 39:28Speaker 25: Yeah, you know, I think success is when I talk
- 39:31Speaker 25: about like activating fearless faith to change your mind.
- 39:34Speaker 24: Success is all about mindset.
- 39:36Speaker 25: And you know, I grew up basically in the hood, right,
- 39:39Speaker 25: you know, I didn't come from a lot, but I
- 39:42Speaker 25: always dreamed big. And I would look at other successful
- 39:45Speaker 25: people and say, Oh, they're successful because they're lucky. And
- 39:48Speaker 25: I knew that I had to change my mindset and
- 39:50Speaker 25: shift from thinking that, no, they're not just lucky.
- 39:53Speaker 24: They worked for it, right, you know.
- 39:55Speaker 25: They had to step out and be bold and go
- 39:57Speaker 25: after their dreams and pursue their purpose. And I shipped
- 39:59Speaker 25: them mindset from thinking that I didn't deserve success to
- 40:02Speaker 25: thinking that I do deserve it. And I realized that
- 40:05Speaker 25: once that started to shift my level of thinking and
- 40:08Speaker 25: I operated from a level of abundance and not lack.
- 40:12Speaker 25: More things flow to me.
- 40:14Speaker 1: Now I'm twenty fourteen. You were a registered nurse, yes,
- 40:17Speaker 1: So what made you say, you know what, this is
- 40:18Speaker 1: not for me? And what put you the mind frame
- 40:21Speaker 1: to actually create these products?
- 40:22Speaker 17: Right?
- 40:22Speaker 1: Because people could say, you know, they could take a
- 40:24Speaker 1: product and sell it, but you actually had to make it,
- 40:26Speaker 1: you had to try it. I'm sure it didn't work
- 40:28Speaker 1: right away the first time. I'm sure your daughter was
- 40:30Speaker 1: sitting back there. I'm sure you burnt her hair a
- 40:32Speaker 1: couple of times and you're trying it out.
- 40:33Speaker 24: I don't think I burned it, but you know, she
- 40:35Speaker 24: was a definitely a guinea pig.
- 40:36Speaker 2: Pig, So talk about that procedure and how that came about. Yeah.
- 40:40Speaker 25: So, actually, so I was a labor and delivery nurse
- 40:42Speaker 25: and I was a nurse for eight and a half years.
- 40:44Speaker 25: And I became a nurse because my mom encouraged me
- 40:47Speaker 25: to be a nurse. She was very traditional, you know,
- 40:49Speaker 25: go to school, go to college, do what you need
- 40:52Speaker 25: to do, get a real job so you can survive.
- 40:54Speaker 25: My mom was basically about survival. She had that mentality,
- 40:58Speaker 25: which no fault because most of our parents' generation, they
- 41:01Speaker 25: came from that type of generation. And even though when
- 41:04Speaker 25: I was younger, like I've always had this dream and
- 41:07Speaker 25: passion to be in the beauty space, my mom would
- 41:10Speaker 25: always tell me, like it's cute, but you know, that's
- 41:12Speaker 25: not a stable career. So I kind of like put
- 41:15Speaker 25: my dreams to the wayside and pursue what my mom
- 41:18Speaker 25: wanted me to do. So it was never something that
- 41:21Speaker 25: like I saw myself doing. So when I did graduate
- 41:24Speaker 25: college and I started work in labor and delivery, I knew,
- 41:27Speaker 25: I'm like, this is not a career path that I
- 41:29Speaker 25: want to do for the rest of my life. And unfortunately,
- 41:33Speaker 25: after doing that for eight years, I was pregnant with
- 41:35Speaker 25: my third child, my son, and unfortunately it was a
- 41:38Speaker 25: high risk pregnancy bless you, and he passed away from complications,
- 41:44Speaker 25: and when you go through pain, it's something thank you,
- 41:48Speaker 25: something that's so traumatic. It catapulted me to live life
- 41:53Speaker 25: on my own terms and not to live my life
- 41:56Speaker 25: on someone else's dream, which was my mom, because you
- 41:59Speaker 25: only get one shot at life, and my pregnancy was
- 42:02Speaker 25: high risk also for my life, and I decided to
- 42:06Speaker 25: pursue my dreams, do something that I love, something that
- 42:09Speaker 25: was purposeful, something that I can wake up and feel
- 42:11Speaker 25: like I have fulfillment, enjoy doing. And I went back
- 42:14Speaker 25: to that love as a child being in the beauty space,
- 42:17Speaker 25: and I started creating. I'm a creative by nature, and
- 42:21Speaker 25: I would just go in my kitchen and mix together
- 42:24Speaker 25: like different ingredients and study and research like what ingredients
- 42:28Speaker 25: work well on our hair? And I started posting it
- 42:31Speaker 25: on social media and while people were following me and
- 42:34Speaker 25: thinking like, well, what is this girl doing? Like she's
- 42:36Speaker 25: posting all these recipes. It was really a creative outlet
- 42:39Speaker 25: for me to express myself and to take my mind
- 42:41Speaker 25: off of grief.
- 42:43Speaker 24: The greeting process. Yeah, and that's how Mayo became what
- 42:46Speaker 24: it is.
- 42:47Speaker 4: Where did Mayo come from?
- 42:48Speaker 1: The name?
- 42:49Speaker 4: The name?
- 42:49Speaker 25: Oh, so that's a great question. I love answering that question.
- 42:52Speaker 25: It's actually a combination of my kids' names. So I
- 42:56Speaker 25: have Mia, Gabrielle back there, Mackenzie, Ariel, my son his
- 43:00Speaker 25: name was Milan. It's a combination of all their names
- 43:02Speaker 25: and their middle names L. So they're my l's.
- 43:07Speaker 2: Yeah, did they charge you?
- 43:09Speaker 25: They did, because I'm still paying for it today, Like
- 43:13Speaker 25: they are always asking for something, right.
- 43:15Speaker 24: But you know they get paid.
- 43:17Speaker 2: Well, how did you go?
- 43:19Speaker 3: I feel like I'm skipping steps and I want everybody
- 43:21Speaker 3: to go read the book The Glory In your story,
- 43:22Speaker 3: we go from the kitchen to actually getting your products
- 43:26Speaker 3: on the shelf.
- 43:27Speaker 2: What were the steps?
- 43:28Speaker 25: Like, what did you do like yeah. So you know,
- 43:30Speaker 25: my way of going into retail was not a traditional way.
- 43:34Speaker 25: I started in twenty fourteen. We entered into retail in
- 43:38Speaker 25: twenty sixteen, which Number one is very rare for a brand,
- 43:42Speaker 25: a small black owned business to start and not have
- 43:46Speaker 25: any type of momentum or leverage and to go into retail.
- 43:49Speaker 25: So it was very risky and my goal was to
- 43:53Speaker 25: go into retail year five. I wasn't even expecting to
- 43:56Speaker 25: go into retail the year that we did, but we
- 43:58Speaker 25: had built up so much much momentum, and we had
- 44:01Speaker 25: built up this great community and it got the attention
- 44:05Speaker 25: of the retailers. So our first retail partner was Sally Beauty,
- 44:10Speaker 25: and they heard about us on social media, and of
- 44:13Speaker 25: course retailers they want to be a part of brands
- 44:16Speaker 25: that can add value to them. So you can't just
- 44:19Speaker 25: go into a retailer saying, oh, I want to put
- 44:21Speaker 25: my products on your shelf and expecting them to do
- 44:25Speaker 25: the marketing for you. You have to have something that
- 44:27Speaker 25: you can bring value or add to their shelf. And
- 44:30Speaker 25: we were a brand that was a disruptive brand and
- 44:34Speaker 25: it caught their attention and then they called us to
- 44:37Speaker 25: have a meeting with them, and it was so divine
- 44:39Speaker 25: because when we got the call to have a meeting
- 44:41Speaker 25: with Sally's, their headquarters is in Denton, Texas, we were
- 44:45Speaker 25: actually there in Dallas for my daughter's gymnastics competition, so we.
- 44:48Speaker 24: Were not there for any business meeting.
- 44:50Speaker 25: And I actually almost turned down a meeting because we
- 44:52Speaker 25: were there with our kids and we're like, well, we
- 44:54Speaker 25: don't have a babysitter to go into this corporate meeting.
- 44:57Speaker 25: And they wanted us so bad. They were like, bring
- 44:59Speaker 25: your kids to meeting. So they were like five and
- 45:02Speaker 25: nine at the time, and they did. And I told them, like,
- 45:06Speaker 25: you guys better not say anything going there and sit
- 45:09Speaker 25: with your hands folded, like don't move, because this is
- 45:12Speaker 25: a really big deal. And I went in there with
- 45:13Speaker 25: no presentation, just talked about my love and passion for
- 45:17Speaker 25: this space. And they tested us in ninety five stores
- 45:19Speaker 25: and they said, we're going to test you out because
- 45:21Speaker 25: you're a new brand, and we'll see how the brand goes.
- 45:24Speaker 25: We launched in February and every store that we were
- 45:28Speaker 25: selling in seld out in less than two hours.
- 45:30Speaker 2: It was just because of social media.
- 45:31Speaker 24: It was just because of social media. Instagram at that.
- 45:34Speaker 2: Wow.
- 45:34Speaker 1: Yeah, we're still kicking it with the founder and CEO
- 45:37Speaker 1: of my l Organix, Monique Rodriguez.
- 45:40Speaker 4: Jess, why did you decided to sell it to ping,
- 45:45Speaker 4: you know, crackdown Gamble.
- 45:46Speaker 24: Yeah, that's a great question.
- 45:47Speaker 25: So when we decided to sell, it was all about
- 45:50Speaker 25: scale and global infrastructure. When you are growing a brand
- 45:56Speaker 25: in order to scale, it's all about access to capital
- 45:58Speaker 25: and having the great infrastructure and people to help execute
- 46:01Speaker 25: your vision. And so the thing is like, we didn't
- 46:04Speaker 25: need to sell. We wanted to sell because we wanted
- 46:07Speaker 25: to invest in innovation, We wanted to have global reach,
- 46:13Speaker 25: and we wanted to be able to create more accessibility
- 46:17Speaker 25: for the consumers that we serve. You know, when you
- 46:19Speaker 25: look at the Texture Haircare Aisle, it's a small space
- 46:24Speaker 25: and our community, like we complain that we don't have
- 46:26Speaker 25: access to great products. And my whole goal from the
- 46:29Speaker 25: very beginning of building Mayo was to build a global empire.
- 46:33Speaker 25: And I know that as founders, we did our best
- 46:36Speaker 25: to take the brand as far as we could with
- 46:39Speaker 25: our resources. And this is a normal trajectory of business.
- 46:43Speaker 25: The goal of building a brand is to either ipo
- 46:46Speaker 25: or exit, and I've accomplished that goal. And the great
- 46:50Speaker 25: thing about it is I've been able to negotiate my
- 46:53Speaker 25: contract to where I'm still on board. I'm still making
- 46:57Speaker 25: the decisions, I'm still running the company, i still at
- 47:00Speaker 25: the vision for it. So it's a very unique structure
- 47:03Speaker 25: that you know, not everyone sees, and I know the
- 47:05Speaker 25: community tends to be scared of brands that are acquired,
- 47:09Speaker 25: but it's really a great win for us, especially as
- 47:12Speaker 25: a black brand, a black girl from the South Side
- 47:14Speaker 25: of Chicago. Right to even have the opportunity to have
- 47:18Speaker 25: a conversation a seat at the table with the conglomerate
- 47:21Speaker 25: like a PNG is a huge win of it in
- 47:23Speaker 25: itself because we don't get opportunities like that often. We
- 47:26Speaker 25: don't see it all the time, And you know, I
- 47:29Speaker 25: wanted to show the possibilities of what's possible, like we
- 47:33Speaker 25: can take the heat us as founders. I can take
- 47:35Speaker 25: the heat of breaking glass ceilings because I know that
- 47:38Speaker 25: I'm also paving the way for my daughter's generation so
- 47:41Speaker 25: she can build a brand and create something great and
- 47:44Speaker 25: have a successful exit. Because we build thriving communities when
- 47:48Speaker 25: we build brands, scale them exit, we build generational wealth,
- 47:51Speaker 25: not just for us or for the community we serve
- 47:53Speaker 25: preach monique.
- 47:54Speaker 2: But let me tell you something.
- 47:55Speaker 3: One of the hardest things to do in life is
- 47:57Speaker 3: to explain business to people who ain't up, who.
- 47:59Speaker 24: Don't understand business. Yeah, that's the hardest thing.
- 48:02Speaker 2: Wow, And I don't have to understand How did that
- 48:04Speaker 2: affect your business?
- 48:05Speaker 9: Right?
- 48:05Speaker 1: Because people see it differently. Where did you lose a
- 48:08Speaker 1: lot of people or people hating on it? Did it
- 48:10Speaker 1: mess business up? How did that affect y'all?
- 48:12Speaker 25: No, when we soda didn't mess business up. And that's
- 48:16Speaker 25: the thing, Like when we made the announcement, you know,
- 48:19Speaker 25: I really took the time to try to educate the
- 48:21Speaker 25: community on the why, like why businesses scale up, why
- 48:26Speaker 25: you know, we become acquired, and it's to create generational
- 48:29Speaker 25: wealth and so we can have more access to help
- 48:31Speaker 25: our community. So I put this whole message out to explain.
- 48:35Speaker 25: And while we did have a huge amount of support
- 48:38Speaker 25: from the community, I mean, you know, like the bigger
- 48:41Speaker 25: you are, the more eyeballs are, you're also going to
- 48:43Speaker 25: have people that don't like it, that don't understand it.
- 48:47Speaker 25: And I feel that if you know, there's so much
- 48:50Speaker 25: access to information out here, right, so if you really
- 48:52Speaker 25: want to know how business works, you can research it
- 48:56Speaker 25: right and you can take the time to listen when
- 48:58Speaker 25: someone's trying to educate hate you.
- 49:00Speaker 24: And I say this all the time, ignorance is a choice. Sure,
- 49:04Speaker 24: you can choose to be ignorant.
- 49:05Speaker 25: When you have information in front of you, and if
- 49:07Speaker 25: you just choose to not pay attention to it, then
- 49:10Speaker 25: that is your choice and you have a right to
- 49:11Speaker 25: your choice. But I'm going to choose to focus and
- 49:13Speaker 25: educate those that want to be educated, that want to
- 49:16Speaker 25: understand the why, and also those that want to start
- 49:21Speaker 25: a business, have an idea and what is the trajectory
- 49:24Speaker 25: of that. I want to show that by example because
- 49:26Speaker 25: it's not normal in our community. We have to normalize
- 49:29Speaker 25: this because when I did my deal, it was, oh,
- 49:32Speaker 25: you're a unicorn. Yeah, that's almost great, but it's not
- 49:35Speaker 25: great because we don't want to be unicorns. We want
- 49:37Speaker 25: this to be a normal conversation for us. And so
- 49:41Speaker 25: it didn't hurt the brand. But you know, I think
- 49:44Speaker 25: it also comes with the territory. And I say this
- 49:46Speaker 25: all the time to things. If you don't want to
- 49:48Speaker 25: be copied or criticized, then don't be great.
- 49:50Speaker 4: Sure, did you say, I'm sure you saw the TikTok
- 49:53Speaker 4: trends of people saying that they lost their hair after
- 49:55Speaker 4: you did sell to PNG silently, you know, the day
- 50:00Speaker 4: they have something to do with the formula. They said,
- 50:01Speaker 4: this is not the same mile, this is not the
- 50:05Speaker 4: same formula. And people, you know, it was a lot
- 50:08Speaker 4: of people saying that they had lost their hair behind
- 50:10Speaker 4: And what would you say to that?
- 50:12Speaker 25: Yeah, and you know, hair loss is you know, traumatic
- 50:15Speaker 25: in it of itself, and I can empathize with anyone
- 50:18Speaker 25: that has suffered with hair loss. I myself has suffered
- 50:22Speaker 25: with postpartum shedding hair loss right, And I think I
- 50:27Speaker 25: want people to realize, like, this is the reason why
- 50:29Speaker 25: I created the brand, right. I created this brand to
- 50:33Speaker 25: serve women with healthier products for their hair. When I
- 50:36Speaker 25: made the decision to partner with PNG, it was very intentional.
- 50:40Speaker 25: A lot of thought went into the decision making process.
- 50:43Speaker 25: This was not a fly by night decision.
- 50:45Speaker 3: You know.
- 50:45Speaker 25: It was a lot of due diligence done on both ends,
- 50:49Speaker 25: my end and their ends. And we have to realize,
- 50:52Speaker 25: like when you think of PNG, a lot of the
- 50:55Speaker 25: products that are in our household are by PNG. They
- 50:59Speaker 25: are a brand that's been around for hundreds of years
- 51:02Speaker 25: that creates longevity, sustainability across generations with their brands. So
- 51:08Speaker 25: I would never sell to a company that I knew
- 51:12Speaker 25: that I thought would harm my creation. Like Mayel is
- 51:16Speaker 25: my baby. Mayel was birth out of heartbreak, like this
- 51:19Speaker 25: is something that's near and dear to my heart. I
- 51:21Speaker 25: would never sell to a company that I thought was
- 51:24Speaker 25: going to ruin, you know, my brand. So, and the
- 51:28Speaker 25: thing is like people have to realize that I'm also
- 51:30Speaker 25: a nurse, right Like I lead with empathy, I lead
- 51:34Speaker 25: with compassion, I lead with caring about the community that
- 51:38Speaker 25: I serve. We would never put anything in our products
- 51:40Speaker 25: that are going to damage or disrupt any woman's hair.
- 51:44Speaker 25: And the people that are saying the formulas change, the
- 51:47Speaker 25: formulas have not changed.
- 51:49Speaker 24: You know, if people.
- 51:50Speaker 25: Would actually take the time to see our products that
- 51:53Speaker 25: were in twenty twenty, twenty twenty, right and you look
- 51:57Speaker 25: at now since after the partnership, the farmers are still
- 52:01Speaker 25: the same. So the thing is like misinformation is spreads
- 52:05Speaker 25: like wildfire, and people don't take the time to do
- 52:08Speaker 25: their homework and do their own due diligence before coming
- 52:10Speaker 25: to their own assumptions. But I can confidently say that
- 52:13Speaker 25: our products do not cause people's hair to fall out.
- 52:15Speaker 3: And also people just be hating. You mean to tell
- 52:17Speaker 3: me that after you get acquired by product then and
- 52:20Speaker 3: before undisclosing. Mind, they know you got that cake all
- 52:22Speaker 3: of a sudden. It's just all of these TikTok videos
- 52:24Speaker 3: online people saying, yeah, the product make my hair fall
- 52:25Speaker 3: out all of a sudden.
- 52:26Speaker 24: Yeah, it came out of nowhere. Come on, man, and
- 52:28Speaker 24: it's the same yeah, come on. And it's like I
- 52:31Speaker 24: use the products.
- 52:32Speaker 25: My daughter she used, Look at her hair her it's beautiful,
- 52:34Speaker 25: Like my family uses the products.
- 52:37Speaker 24: Like this is like, I don't take this lightly.
- 52:39Speaker 25: And this partnership has always been led with honesty and transparency,
- 52:43Speaker 25: and I'm gonna be honest with you guys. What people
- 52:46Speaker 25: also don't realize is that when you are a smaller brand,
- 52:49Speaker 25: a lot of the things that you do can go
- 52:51Speaker 25: under the radar because you don't have a lot of
- 52:53Speaker 25: eyeballs on you.
- 52:54Speaker 13: Right.
- 52:54Speaker 25: I've seen brands that are smaller that have products out
- 52:57Speaker 25: and they don't even have the ingredients listed on their products.
- 53:00Speaker 23: Right.
- 53:01Speaker 24: When you are a bigger brand, you can't do that.
- 53:03Speaker 25: So the level of compliance and processes and the level
- 53:09Speaker 25: of strictness that we had to be in compliant with
- 53:12Speaker 25: to even talk to PNG. The safety regulations were like
- 53:16Speaker 25: through the roof. So people have to understand, like this
- 53:19Speaker 25: is a large company. They operate with the highest level
- 53:22Speaker 25: of safetiness, right and they've even helped us operate even
- 53:26Speaker 25: more safer, so people can trust like these products are
- 53:29Speaker 25: good to use. Nothing has changed. We operate with the
- 53:32Speaker 25: same level of integrity. Everything's the same, other than we
- 53:35Speaker 25: just have access to more.
- 53:37Speaker 3: And you know those I would like to see all
- 53:38Speaker 3: the brands that are producting and Gamble has just just
- 53:41Speaker 3: my stuff makes your hair fall out, allegedly the black
- 53:44Speaker 3: women own product just makes sure the black women gambling
- 53:47Speaker 3: around for years.
- 53:48Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 53:48Speaker 1: I would also also say that every hair product's not
- 53:51Speaker 1: for everybody, Like what you use in your hair that
- 53:53Speaker 1: might work for you or your daughter might not work
- 53:55Speaker 1: for me or my daughter. You know that doesn't mean
- 53:56Speaker 1: that it's it's all. It's all in people's hairs, yeah, yeah,
- 54:01Speaker 1: and yours, like there's nothing that.
- 54:02Speaker 9: Work for you all.
- 54:04Speaker 3: PCTY and Gamble have been around forever and nobody's made
- 54:07Speaker 3: those complaints.
- 54:07Speaker 2: But now all of a sudden Come on, man.
- 54:09Speaker 1: Of course we're still kicking it with Monique Rodriguez to
- 54:12Speaker 1: found the n CEO of My Organics. She has a
- 54:15Speaker 1: new book, The Glory in Your Story, Charlamage.
- 54:17Speaker 3: Do you think the black community puts too much pressure
- 54:19Speaker 3: on black owned businesses to be perfect and they'll give
- 54:22Speaker 3: grace to like other billion dollar brands that don't ever
- 54:25Speaker 3: even show up for us.
- 54:26Speaker 2: Oh?
- 54:26Speaker 25: Absolutely, Like I mean we can see it all the time,
- 54:30Speaker 25: Like we see millionaires, billionaires that build companies exit all
- 54:35Speaker 25: the time, and we celebrate it.
- 54:37Speaker 2: That's the point of business.
- 54:38Speaker 25: Like that, that's the point of business. But when a
- 54:39Speaker 25: black person does it, like we tear them down. And
- 54:44Speaker 25: the thing is like, we got to choose our heart,
- 54:47Speaker 25: We got to pick our battles. We complain as a
- 54:50Speaker 25: community that we have a access lack of access to capital, mentorship, expertise,
- 54:57Speaker 25: But then when we're trying to create these avenues of
- 55:01Speaker 25: creating wealth so we can create access to capital, expertise
- 55:04Speaker 25: and mentorship, there has to be more of us to
- 55:06Speaker 25: do it, then we tear it down. So either you
- 55:08Speaker 25: don't want the access or then when we do get
- 55:10Speaker 25: the access, you can't tear us down.
- 55:12Speaker 24: For forgetting that access.
- 55:13Speaker 25: And that's why I said, we gotta we gotta choose
- 55:15Speaker 25: our heart as a community, because we can't have it
- 55:17Speaker 25: both ways, because what happens is we stifle our community
- 55:22Speaker 25: when we tear black brands down for doing what other
- 55:24Speaker 25: cultures do all the time. We stifle us because now
- 55:28Speaker 25: it causes fear in investors, It causes strategics to say, oh,
- 55:34Speaker 25: now you're more risky, so now I'm going to devalue you.
- 55:38Speaker 25: So me, if I was a different culture, my value
- 55:41Speaker 25: could have been more if that risk wasn't there. So
- 55:44Speaker 25: all we're doing is we're setting ourselves back because the
- 55:46Speaker 25: next Monny Garderiguez that comes forward that tries to do this,
- 55:50Speaker 25: they're going to ask the question like because they asked me,
- 55:52Speaker 25: how's your community gonna feel about this?
- 55:55Speaker 24: Right?
- 55:55Speaker 25: And now we have to come up with the whole
- 55:56Speaker 25: strategic plan on how to relay this message message in
- 56:00Speaker 25: an educational way. When I ask them back, do you
- 56:03Speaker 25: have to do this with any other cultures? Their response
- 56:05Speaker 25: was n.
- 56:05Speaker 3: So how easy to expound on that one, Because I
- 56:07Speaker 3: think what you're speaking to is whenever it's something like
- 56:09Speaker 3: this happens, right, like you know, you do get acquired
- 56:11Speaker 3: by P ANDNG. The backlash from social media can be
- 56:14Speaker 3: so bad that it makes these companies be like, whoa
- 56:17Speaker 3: should we have done that situation?
- 56:18Speaker 2: And they'll think about doing that, you know, to the
- 56:20Speaker 2: next person.
- 56:21Speaker 25: Right, And that's why it's important that when black brands
- 56:24Speaker 25: scale and are exited, we have to show up even
- 56:28Speaker 25: more as a community to support those brands because now
- 56:31Speaker 25: they're looking at these brands as a case study. They're
- 56:34Speaker 25: looking at Mael now as a case study of like
- 56:36Speaker 25: what happens when you're acquired and does the community still
- 56:40Speaker 25: ride for you?
- 56:41Speaker 24: Does the community still support you?
- 56:43Speaker 25: And again, if we don't support and they start to
- 56:48Speaker 25: see sales drop off, then it stifles opportunity for a
- 56:52Speaker 25: next entrepreneur that wants to scale. And that's the part
- 56:55Speaker 25: we have to realize. And again to your point, we
- 56:58Speaker 25: can't expect people that you know, don't understands, not in business,
- 57:02Speaker 25: to understand business. But again, like we're creating platforms like
- 57:06Speaker 25: this to help spread the word and to educate, right,
- 57:09Speaker 25: We're taking the time to educate you, so you should
- 57:12Speaker 25: say in your mind, I'm going to support this black
- 57:14Speaker 25: founded brand. Like let's not just say we support black owned.
- 57:17Speaker 25: Let's also support black founded brands, right, because we're all
- 57:21Speaker 25: a community.
- 57:21Speaker 24: We're all in this together.
- 57:23Speaker 25: In order for us to create these thriving communities, we
- 57:26Speaker 25: got to support us right, things that are made by us,
- 57:29Speaker 25: created by us, not just owned by us. Because you
- 57:31Speaker 25: should have the freedom and the opportunity to do whatever
- 57:34Speaker 25: it is that you want to do with your brand.
- 57:36Speaker 25: If you want to stay small and local, you have
- 57:38Speaker 25: a purpose to serve, you should be able to do that.
- 57:40Speaker 25: If you want to stay online and serve just online consumers,
- 57:43Speaker 25: you should be able to do that. If you want
- 57:45Speaker 25: to scale and exit and be acquired or ipo, you
- 57:48Speaker 25: should have the freedom and flexibility to do whatever it
- 57:50Speaker 25: is that you want to do with your brand without
- 57:52Speaker 25: being criticized.
- 57:53Speaker 9: You know.
- 57:53Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think there's a lot of people
- 57:55Speaker 3: feel like, well, a lot of founders get pushed out
- 57:57Speaker 3: when the big money shows up. So they just want
- 57:59Speaker 3: to make sure that y'all still calling the shots and
- 58:02Speaker 3: it's not just a black face on like a white
- 58:04Speaker 3: white boardroom.
- 58:06Speaker 25: Yeah no, Like, I'm on zoom calls pretty much every day,
- 58:10Speaker 25: so talking about ma L and product innovation and development
- 58:13Speaker 25: and marketing and different events and activations and how we
- 58:16Speaker 25: can show up for the community. So you know, I mean,
- 58:19Speaker 25: of course, I am the face of the brand. I
- 58:21Speaker 25: created the brand, but I'm more than just a face.
- 58:23Speaker 25: I'm also the strategic vision behind it as well too,
- 58:27Speaker 25: so I have I make the final decisions on everything
- 58:30Speaker 25: that touches the consumers. And I do it because I
- 58:33Speaker 25: made it that way. So we put like those safeguards
- 58:35Speaker 25: in place to protect our brand, to protect our legacy.
- 58:38Speaker 4: You do what your husband are, yeah, I was saying,
- 58:40Speaker 4: And it frees up a lot more of your time,
- 58:42Speaker 4: so you can do things like write your book and
- 58:43Speaker 4: then I'm sure to delve into other business endeavors and
- 58:46Speaker 4: things like that. Because what PNG also is is like
- 58:49Speaker 4: like good partners for you. Like they take on the
- 58:52Speaker 4: bulk of fact you had to do all this by yourself.
- 58:55Speaker 4: Yeah at one point, you know, I'm sure you had
- 58:57Speaker 4: a team. But that's the part that they take on
- 58:59Speaker 4: is well, like they make it I don't want to
- 59:01Speaker 4: say easier, but a little bit more easier to run
- 59:03Speaker 4: the whole shit.
- 59:04Speaker 25: Yeah, Like they free up a lot of my mental capacity,
- 59:07Speaker 25: so I can like have the mental capacity to make
- 59:10Speaker 25: the hard decisions, the decisions that matter, And you mentioned
- 59:14Speaker 25: something about manufacturing, like we still manufacture our own products,
- 59:19Speaker 25: so manufacturing was not even P and D doesn't manufacture
- 59:22Speaker 25: our products, That's what I'm saying, Like everything is still
- 59:24Speaker 25: the same, Like we still manufacture in Chicago, right where
- 59:27Speaker 25: I'm from. So yeah, and you built it with your husband, right, Yes,
- 59:31Speaker 25: So my husband we've been together since I was sixteen,
- 59:34Speaker 25: on each other since we were twelve and thirteen, and
- 59:36Speaker 25: so we've literally like grown up together. And when I
- 59:39Speaker 25: had this dream, he supported it from the very beginning,
- 59:42Speaker 25: Like he operates from a very logistical, finance operations mindset.
- 59:47Speaker 24: And I'm the visionary, the creator.
- 59:49Speaker 25: And like when you just merge those two different sides
- 59:51Speaker 25: of the brain, you know, skill sets, like we've been
- 59:54Speaker 25: able to build this, you know, amazing company and be
- 59:56Speaker 25: this dynamic duo because you know, we both add different
- 1:00:01Speaker 25: value to the company and different skill sets.
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: A lot of don't mix business in marriage. What you
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: say to that?
- 1:00:08Speaker 7: I say, the wedding rings says it all that.
- 1:00:10Speaker 24: Crazy crazy yours is too. Thank you you said about mixing.
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: Business business with marriage?
- 1:00:19Speaker 24: What do you think I mean?
- 1:00:20Speaker 4: I don't.
- 1:00:21Speaker 24: I think you have to know, like what works for
- 1:00:23Speaker 24: you and your marriage.
- 1:00:24Speaker 25: Like I've met some married couples that are like, well,
- 1:00:27Speaker 25: we can't work together and they're happier not doing so,
- 1:00:30Speaker 25: And that's totally fine. I don't think there's no wrong
- 1:00:32Speaker 25: or right answer for us. It works well for us
- 1:00:36Speaker 25: because you know, the things that he does for the company,
- 1:00:39Speaker 25: I honestly don't even want to do. And of course
- 1:00:42Speaker 25: he knew nothing about hair care and products, so he
- 1:00:44Speaker 25: couldn't really operate in my space. And I think if
- 1:00:47Speaker 25: you want to make it work, you have to like
- 1:00:49Speaker 25: take your egos out of it. You know, you can't
- 1:00:51Speaker 25: be in competition with your spouse. And my husband he
- 1:00:55Speaker 25: was always big on like pushing me to the forefront.
- 1:00:58Speaker 25: He's like, listen, this is your time to shine.
- 1:01:00Speaker 24: Women. You guys have been held back for so long.
- 1:01:03Speaker 25: Like I'm okay with putting you out there and letting
- 1:01:06Speaker 25: you be at the forefront and now just helping support
- 1:01:08Speaker 25: you on the back end. And I just think that
- 1:01:10Speaker 25: it takes a real man to say, you know what,
- 1:01:12Speaker 25: I'm okay with being behind the scenes and you being
- 1:01:15Speaker 25: out there and I'm gonna just support your vision and
- 1:01:18Speaker 25: him not feeling like, well, I'm the man, I'm the protector,
- 1:01:21Speaker 25: like you can't be out there like he was very
- 1:01:23Speaker 25: comfortable saying I'm just gonna support you.
- 1:01:26Speaker 24: And he's done just that.
- 1:01:28Speaker 25: And you know, my mentor told me, she's like, there
- 1:01:30Speaker 25: will be no may l if it wasn't for you,
- 1:01:32Speaker 25: Melvin and you or you you and like you guys
- 1:01:34Speaker 25: had to build this together. And you know it's I
- 1:01:38Speaker 25: think it works for us. And you just have to know,
- 1:01:40Speaker 25: like what works for you and have respect for each other,
- 1:01:44Speaker 25: respect each other's roles and lanes, and you know, just
- 1:01:48Speaker 25: be aligned with your vision.
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: He's also a black man too.
- 1:01:51Speaker 24: He's also a black man, yes from so his mom
- 1:01:55Speaker 24: is Porto Rican. Oh yeah, but all right, yeah, that's
- 1:02:02Speaker 24: a great question.
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: Pick up right now. The glory in your stories.
- 1:02:08Speaker 3: Man, you are an inspiration, Monique, you and your husband Melvin.
- 1:02:12Speaker 3: I really respect what it is that y'all are doing
- 1:02:15Speaker 3: and have done, and I wish and pray for much
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: more successful.
- 1:02:19Speaker 24: I appreciate that.

- 1:02:35Speaker 2: She'd be having the latest on you things, the latest
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: with Lauren La Rosa.
- 1:02:40Speaker 3: Sometimes you have sometimes you have details, sometimes you have
- 1:02:43Speaker 3: a little bit.
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: Everything's the latest.
- 1:02:45Speaker 9: On the Breakfast Club.
- 1:02:47Speaker 16: All right, y'all.
- 1:02:48Speaker 18: So Diddy back in court again this week, but right now,
- 1:02:52Speaker 18: there's there's gonna be some explosive testimonies today, including Capricorn
- 1:02:56Speaker 18: Clark that we will hear from a man named Lance.
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: Who is For people that don't know.
- 1:03:01Speaker 18: Capricorn Clark is a previous personal assistant of Ditty's. But
- 1:03:05Speaker 18: she has come up in this case in this hearing
- 1:03:09Speaker 18: almost every single day that I've been there, because she
- 1:03:11Speaker 18: was around and has witnessed so much. She is the
- 1:03:13Speaker 18: woman that Kit Cutty alleges called her and said, hey,
- 1:03:16Speaker 18: Diddy's at your house. She's the woman that is alleging
- 1:03:19Speaker 18: that Diddy made her get in the car with him
- 1:03:21Speaker 18: to go to kit Cutty's house. She was, you know,
- 1:03:22Speaker 18: the person that knew about the Berner phone that Cassie
- 1:03:24Speaker 18: talked about that she will talk to kit Cutty on.
- 1:03:26Speaker 18: She knows a lot of the things and everyone has
- 1:03:29Speaker 18: mentioned her. So now we will finally get to hear
- 1:03:30Speaker 18: from her about her testimony, her experiences. But before we
- 1:03:34Speaker 18: get there, today, Diddy's team, Brian still his attorneys actually
- 1:03:39Speaker 18: asking for kit Cutty's testimony to be thrown out. What
- 1:03:42Speaker 18: he's saying is that because so they're saying that it's
- 1:03:45Speaker 18: unfair and it's legally irrelevant. They're saying, number one, that
- 1:03:48Speaker 18: there's no proof of what kit Cutty is saying. That
- 1:03:51Speaker 18: everything is is his opinion or what he believes. But
- 1:03:54Speaker 18: there's no evidence. There's no confession from Diddy, and there's
- 1:03:57Speaker 18: no actual receipts.
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: Car that was blown up, So I get to that part.
- 1:04:03Speaker 18: So they're also saying that because he has no personal
- 1:04:06Speaker 18: knowledge of seeing did he there himself?
- 1:04:10Speaker 16: It's all speculation.
- 1:04:11Speaker 18: Now to answer your question, you're talking about the car
- 1:04:13Speaker 18: was blown up, so there should be DNA, there should
- 1:04:15Speaker 18: be all these things, right, that's what you're asking. No,
- 1:04:18Speaker 18: that's well, if a car what Diddy's team is saying
- 1:04:21Speaker 18: is if a car is blown up, and you're going
- 1:04:23Speaker 18: to say that did he was lying to you? Because
- 1:04:24Speaker 18: remember kit Cutty said, I asked him about it and
- 1:04:26Speaker 18: I knew he was lying to me, said them. Understand,
- 1:04:28Speaker 18: if you're going to say that, you need something hard
- 1:04:30Speaker 18: to back that up, of course, exactly to back it up.
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: So you need.
- 1:04:36Speaker 18: You need something more, like, we need more evidence. We
- 1:04:39Speaker 18: can't just go off of what you think happened because
- 1:04:41Speaker 18: of all these events that you just put together and said,
- 1:04:43Speaker 18: you know what, he has to be responsible for. That's
- 1:04:45Speaker 18: what they're saying now.
- 1:04:47Speaker 16: Getting to the car.
- 1:04:48Speaker 18: So Lance Jimenez, he is a City of La Fire
- 1:04:51Speaker 18: Department arson investigators. So he's gonna get on the stand
- 1:04:54Speaker 18: and testify to responding to the car arson of kit
- 1:04:57Speaker 18: Cutti's and they're going to get into this DNA conversation
- 1:05:01Speaker 18: because Brian Still, when kit Cutty was on the stand,
- 1:05:04Speaker 18: tried to get to the point that there was DNA
- 1:05:06Speaker 18: found on a bottle in the car on kit Cutty's
- 1:05:10Speaker 18: Porsch that was blown up, and there was DNA evidence
- 1:05:13Speaker 18: on that bottle that linked to a woman.
- 1:05:15Speaker 3: That makes no sense to me because I saw people
- 1:05:18Speaker 3: keep saying that on social media, and I'm like, what
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: y'all thought that Diddy through the car the bottle himself.
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna say. You really think Didd
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: he got out the top and then.
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: His head dirty? Come on, That's that's what y'all really
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: think happened.
- 1:05:31Speaker 4: I mean, I think they're leaning into one of those
- 1:05:34Speaker 4: for for Diddy.
- 1:05:35Speaker 18: See, they're going to lean into if the glove don't
- 1:05:37Speaker 18: fit like I, if you don't have the physical evidence
- 1:05:39Speaker 18: that puts him there at the crime doing it, then
- 1:05:41Speaker 18: what are we even talking about right now?
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: And unless it's a woman that comes out and says, hey,
- 1:05:45Speaker 3: I was paid by Diddy to do X practice, then.
- 1:05:47Speaker 16: That's a whole other conversation.
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: Now.
- 1:05:49Speaker 16: Here's the thing.
- 1:05:50Speaker 18: So, when uh the Arson detective or investigator gets on
- 1:05:53Speaker 18: the stand, the government is asking the judge to not
- 1:05:58Speaker 18: allow Brian still did he's attorney to even be able
- 1:06:00Speaker 18: to bring up that DNA. And the reason why they're
- 1:06:02Speaker 18: asking that is because they're saying that even though he'll
- 1:06:05Speaker 18: be able to testify that he responded and there were
- 1:06:08Speaker 18: reports taken, uh he according to this this document that
- 1:06:13Speaker 18: they submitted, the investigator says that they only recovered partial
- 1:06:17Speaker 18: female DNA and he can't speak to what partial female
- 1:06:19Speaker 18: DNA even means. They also say that he did not
- 1:06:22Speaker 18: personally collect the swabs, he didn't perform the testing himself,
- 1:06:25Speaker 18: and he has no personal knowledge regarding the testing other
- 1:06:28Speaker 18: than what was included in the report, and they're saying
- 1:06:30Speaker 18: that the report basically it's like it's not a full report,
- 1:06:33Speaker 18: so it doesn't talk about any other DNA that would
- 1:06:35Speaker 18: it would.
- 1:06:35Speaker 16: Have been possibly found.
- 1:06:37Speaker 18: And their legend at this bottle could have went through
- 1:06:40Speaker 18: multiple hands before it got to the car where then you.
- 1:06:43Speaker 16: Know the car was blown up.
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: So was it a rock bottle?
- 1:06:46Speaker 16: It just set like a glass like they ain't say
- 1:06:49Speaker 16: that if it would have been that, that would have
- 1:06:51Speaker 16: been crazy.
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: Yeah, it wouldn't have did that, I'm sure, and I'm
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: sure Diddy didn't do it himself. So all the DNA
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: just makes no sense. Like Charlage said, lest somebody's gonna
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: come out and say Diddy paid me to do that.
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: Like this is if I tell you one thing, though,
- 1:07:03Speaker 3: I'm surprised did he tem and raised the hell about capricorn.
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: Clock taking this stand? But let's starts today a capricorn
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: clock ring. I'm telling y'all right now.
- 1:07:10Speaker 18: People are if you've been paying attention to this case,
- 1:07:13Speaker 18: even though you might not know her as like a
- 1:07:15Speaker 18: celebrity name, people are really looking forward to her testimony
- 1:07:19Speaker 18: because she has a lot that she can speak to.
- 1:07:21Speaker 18: They're gonna want to lean into, like, you know, conversation
- 1:07:25Speaker 18: about his Diddy's a less jealous rages that he would
- 1:07:27Speaker 18: go when it came to Cassie the kick cutty stuff
- 1:07:30Speaker 18: that we just talked about.
- 1:07:32Speaker 16: There were instances with the woman Gina that Didd.
- 1:07:35Speaker 18: He used to date that another personal assistant said that
- 1:07:38Speaker 18: he witnessed that made him allegedly quit, and he said
- 1:07:40Speaker 18: he went to Capricorn Clark and told her, Hey, I'm
- 1:07:42Speaker 18: quitting because this is what I just saw. So Capricorn
- 1:07:46Speaker 18: Clark is a very important witness for both sides because
- 1:07:49Speaker 18: she has seen a lot and if you can debunk
- 1:07:51Speaker 18: a lot of what she's going to say, you can
- 1:07:52Speaker 18: prove either Diddy right or wrong. And if you can
- 1:07:55Speaker 18: get her on the stand, and she fills in a
- 1:07:57Speaker 18: lot of the holes that we've been hearing.
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: She was Diddy's assistant, right, one of.
- 1:08:00Speaker 18: Did these, but he had like four or five assistants,
- 1:08:03Speaker 18: but she was it seems like she was like the
- 1:08:05Speaker 18: go to for a lot of things. She also there
- 1:08:07Speaker 18: were conversations that Cassie mentioned on the stand where she
- 1:08:10Speaker 18: was involved in like the whole like escorts and getting
- 1:08:13Speaker 18: them to different places allegedly and all these things.
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: So did we ever find out if these people who
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: are testifying for prosecution are getting immunity?
- 1:08:21Speaker 18: So I was told by a source that there are
- 1:08:23Speaker 18: conversations about that. And then one of the personal assistants
- 1:08:26Speaker 18: that was on the stand, his name was George Kaplan.
- 1:08:29Speaker 18: He said, I don't want to be here. I still
- 1:08:30Speaker 18: love did he even though this is a very complicated relationship.
- 1:08:33Speaker 18: And they asked him, well, why are you here? You
- 1:08:35Speaker 18: receiving some sort of like immunity. He didn't say yes, definitely,
- 1:08:39Speaker 18: but he said that there was a conversation with his attorney,
- 1:08:41Speaker 18: but he couldn't recall the conversation.
- 1:08:43Speaker 16: So that is the closest I've gotten to get.
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: If you're giving all these people immunity, of course they're
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: going to say what they want to say because they're
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: not going to be charged, right, They're more likely to
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: represent for the prosecution team.
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: Than the defensive. If you're gonna give me immunity.
- 1:08:56Speaker 16: Yes and no, because I mean, if you're immunity, you
- 1:08:58Speaker 16: just say whatever. Who's gonna do something to you?
- 1:09:00Speaker 10: You know?
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: I was wondering too, how many of these people were
- 1:09:02Speaker 3: actually uh did these cold defendants? But then they flipped
- 1:09:05Speaker 3: before tryuse. You know it's a recall, right, so when
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: it's recod gotta be more than one person.
- 1:09:09Speaker 9: I wanted how many.
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: I wonder how many of these people were actually his colds,
- 1:09:12Speaker 3: but then they decided to give testimony against him.
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: I would assume a lot even with Cassie, I mean
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: anybody that's involved, maybe CC, with Capricorn Clocks.
- 1:09:27Speaker 16: C C, C and KKH, Christina Christina.
- 1:09:32Speaker 4: KK CCS, it's a lot of he had a lot
- 1:09:35Speaker 4: of he gonna hit the stand Who Booty.
- 1:09:41Speaker 16: Because google Booty, Witness liked Witness, don't drop me on.
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: The show on the stage. What's the other ones name?
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: Want to stay?
- 1:09:52Speaker 3: That was Boutang, But that's the booty that just was
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: there to participate. I'm talking about the boy that got penetrated.
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: I know that's coming.
- 1:09:58Speaker 18: So Christina is another person that is that's KK, and
- 1:10:03Speaker 18: then CC is capral Crank Clark And you really had
- 1:10:05Speaker 18: me looking up bootee because I'm like, well, how.
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: Did I miss How did I miss Booty?
- 1:10:10Speaker 18: There's more to this because Dawn Richard Darmershard you guys,
- 1:10:13Speaker 18: remember she took the stand. Now Q from making the
- 1:10:16Speaker 18: band has come out with some claims against her and
- 1:10:18Speaker 18: all of this as.

- 1:13:26Speaker 2: Quad did nothing but speak out against gun violence.
- 1:13:29Speaker 3: He did nothing but promote positivity, and Philly and y'all
- 1:13:32Speaker 3: robbed and killed him on Mother's Day.
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: I was told they robbed him over a chain.
- 1:13:36Speaker 3: Okay, three of y'all, Joshua Thomas, Coleman, Abdul boy and
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: they're searching for a third suspect name Amir Early. You
- 1:13:41Speaker 3: all robbed and killed a young man who was just
- 1:13:43Speaker 3: trying to make it out the hood, okay, like you
- 1:13:45Speaker 3: young brothers are okay. In fact, you killed a young
- 1:13:47Speaker 3: man who I guarantee would have came up and came
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: back for so many other young brothers in Philadelphia. I
- 1:13:53Speaker 3: do not understand while we are so hell bent on
- 1:13:55Speaker 3: hurting the people God sent to help us, and over
- 1:13:59Speaker 3: a chain. By the way, I don't know if it
- 1:14:01Speaker 3: was over a chain. I'm just repeating what my Philly
- 1:14:03Speaker 3: folks told me. But whatever it was, over it wasn't
- 1:14:05Speaker 3: something that was going to change all lives. Okay, you
- 1:14:07Speaker 3: all are charged with murder, and in Philly, the penalty
- 1:14:10Speaker 3: for murder rangers from life without parole to the death penalty. Okay,
- 1:14:14Speaker 3: you both are nineteen years old, Amir is twenty one.
- 1:14:17Speaker 3: Life as you know it is over. You will never
- 1:14:20Speaker 3: be anything more than a number in a system. And
- 1:14:23Speaker 3: I don't want to say what these kids be thinking.
- 1:14:25Speaker 3: What do they know about prison that we don't know?
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: Okay?
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: Small people learn from their own mistakes? Why people learn
- 1:14:29Speaker 3: from the mistakes of others? Have we not seen enough
- 1:14:31Speaker 3: people go to prison forever to know we don't need
- 1:14:34Speaker 3: to be out here just killing each other.
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: You taking a life and throwing your life away for what?
- 1:14:40Speaker 2: I wonder did they even know who Qua was?
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: If you knew who Qua was and still took his
- 1:14:44Speaker 3: life knowing that he was just a positive brother who
- 1:14:47Speaker 3: genuinely wanted better for you, and I really have zero
- 1:14:50Speaker 3: remorse for you, okay from let the white man sort
- 1:14:53Speaker 3: it out, because there's no saving lost souls like y'all.
- 1:14:56Speaker 3: I know we have conversations about rehabilitation, but they got
- 1:14:59Speaker 3: to re rehabilitating in prison. They don't ever deserve freedom. Okay,
- 1:15:02Speaker 3: Kawhi would never breathe again. He got murdered at thirty.
- 1:15:06Speaker 3: At thirty, I was just figuring life out. I was
- 1:15:09Speaker 3: literally just getting started and entering the best times of
- 1:15:12Speaker 3: my life. I wasn't even married at thirty. My first
- 1:15:15Speaker 3: daughter was born two days before my thirty of born day.
- 1:15:18Speaker 3: You know how much is life. I've lived from thirty
- 1:15:20Speaker 3: to now. I'll be forty seven next month, and I
- 1:15:23Speaker 3: thank God that he blessed me with the opportunity to
- 1:15:26Speaker 3: see those years. And I pray for at least forty
- 1:15:28Speaker 3: seven more. Actually need fifty four more, Okay, I need
- 1:15:30Speaker 3: to die at one hundred and one. I actually read
- 1:15:33Speaker 3: something yesterday that by twenty thirty humans could be a
- 1:15:35Speaker 3: mortal with the help of nanobots that'll make us all
- 1:15:37Speaker 3: immune to diseases. I don't think I want to lift forever,
- 1:15:39Speaker 3: because I'm sure God has another adventure for my soul.
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: But I want you to think about this.
- 1:15:44Speaker 3: QUI will never get to experience any of that because
- 1:15:48Speaker 3: he's deceased. So Joshua Abdul soon to be a man
- 1:15:52Speaker 3: when they catch you, because they gonna catch you.
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: Y'all don't deserve freedom. Ever again.
- 1:15:56Speaker 3: Because you let your darkness turn someone's lives out. You
- 1:15:59Speaker 3: let your negativity, your problem steal someone else's joy, someone
- 1:16:03Speaker 3: else's enthusiasm, took a mother's child away on Mother's Day.
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: You deserve the worst of what your judicial system has
- 1:16:11Speaker 3: to offer. Because I am truly sick of us being
- 1:16:13Speaker 3: our own worst enemy, and I will never understand why
- 1:16:16Speaker 3: we hurt people who are just simply trying to help.
- 1:16:20Speaker 3: Please give Joshua Coleman and our dual boyd the biggest

- 1:22:02Speaker 2: What's your thought?
- 1:22:03Speaker 15: So what I was saying was if you was at
- 1:22:06Speaker 15: the beach, then people should mind their business. But I
- 1:22:09Speaker 15: mean if she was just out to dinner with friends
- 1:22:11Speaker 15: or something like that, then yeah, I think she should
- 1:22:14Speaker 15: cover up Like women clothing was generally like back in
- 1:22:17Speaker 15: the day, was modest. They covered their arms, legs, and
- 1:22:20Speaker 15: you know, sometimes their hair.
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: You know, I know, right, what about leather? What about
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: leather on the beach?
- 1:22:33Speaker 5: I don't know about leather on the beach on the.
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: Beach and leather, even if you feel like she should
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: dress a little more professional when she's out and about
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: nice at.
- 1:22:43Speaker 15: The beach, That's what I'm saying. She's at the beach.
- 1:22:45Speaker 24: Come on now.
- 1:22:47Speaker 18: But friends, if it's summertime, it's one hundred degrees in
- 1:22:51Speaker 18: New York. I can't wear shorts in the tank time
- 1:22:53Speaker 18: because I.
- 1:22:54Speaker 15: Like, yeah, shorts and the tank top to cover your
- 1:22:57Speaker 15: the bottom of your butt teat and the tank top
- 1:23:00Speaker 15: that at least covers the sid.
- 1:23:04Speaker 18: But I just feel like I'm want to know people
- 1:23:07Speaker 18: that maybe I know everybody. This is new and people
- 1:23:09Speaker 18: are just now getting to know me and stuff. But like,
- 1:23:11Speaker 18: I mean, I've been looking how I look. I don't know,
- 1:23:14Speaker 18: maybe because I don't sit up here with y'all. Old
- 1:23:16Speaker 18: people just understand like we're young, like this is what
- 1:23:20Speaker 18: am I supposed to do. I'm not out here like
- 1:23:22Speaker 18: flashing y'all on my Instagram because listen, even out then
- 1:23:24Speaker 18: with my friends, I'm definitely showing that what's side.
- 1:23:27Speaker 2: First of all, what makes you think there's older people
- 1:23:29Speaker 2: that are critiquing you.
- 1:23:31Speaker 18: I think it's you know what, you know where a
- 1:23:33Speaker 18: lot of it came from. When I started feeling was
- 1:23:35Speaker 18: it was.
- 1:23:35Speaker 16: A lot of black women, and then it was an
- 1:23:37Speaker 16: age gap.
- 1:23:38Speaker 2: It was I don't like how you said black women
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: just now.
- 1:23:40Speaker 5: Well, I mean.
- 1:23:43Speaker 18: Because I was seeing just some of the comments, and
- 1:23:45Speaker 18: I got d ms from some women. I got to
- 1:23:47Speaker 18: go look at their pages and not all It was
- 1:23:49Speaker 18: so many people, and then like blogs picked up the
- 1:23:51Speaker 18: pictures too, so the people were yell arguing on the blogs.
- 1:23:54Speaker 18: They were arguing on Twitter, so I couldn't see everything.
- 1:23:56Speaker 18: But the people who directly d M me and like,
- 1:23:58Speaker 18: I think that they feel like it's with love, but
- 1:24:00Speaker 18: it's like, what am I What do you want me
- 1:24:02Speaker 18: to do? But they were older black women who were
- 1:24:04Speaker 18: just like, look, we love you, we really like protect
- 1:24:07Speaker 18: what you have going on. We want you to just
- 1:24:09Speaker 18: basically present a certain way so that people receive you
- 1:24:11Speaker 18: a certain way.
- 1:24:12Speaker 4: I ain't gonnald you. I don't know where you're like,
- 1:24:17Speaker 4: not like where You're not dressed like they like you
- 1:24:20Speaker 4: be having your ass and your boobs out every day.
- 1:24:23Speaker 16: Like I've never seen I dressed a little bit more.
- 1:24:25Speaker 4: Skin beard than you, and I did somebody say under me,

- 1:25:33Speaker 1: weekend is Looke music on.
- 1:25:35Speaker 16: But y'all, this just had to be. I had the
- 1:25:39Speaker 16: reason because he only been a court for two weeks.
- 1:25:41Speaker 16: That's what I'm saying.
- 1:25:42Speaker 1: This is just this is news.
- 1:25:44Speaker 2: I just wanted to record the show. What I told
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: you you looked ridiculous.
- 1:25:47Speaker 3: I told you that you looked ridiculous the first day
- 1:25:49Speaker 3: of the court casell.
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: This is not for you, Okay, what hello, well, hey,
- 1:26:01Speaker 2: what's your name?
- 1:26:02Speaker 5: What's going on? Shot here from Jersey City. Alright, before
- 1:26:09Speaker 5: I started one thing, good morning of y'all. All right,
- 1:26:12Speaker 5: all right, so check it out right. The thing is
- 1:26:14Speaker 5: about image is when you project a certain image how
- 1:26:19Speaker 5: into the world. If you project professionalism, that's what people
- 1:26:22Speaker 5: is going to see. If you project ratchetness, that's what
- 1:26:25Speaker 5: people are going to see. You project both, people are
- 1:26:28Speaker 5: going to be confused. So you always want to project
- 1:26:31Speaker 5: professionalism because that's what people want to see you as
- 1:26:34Speaker 5: as a professional. It's hard for people to then doub
- 1:26:38Speaker 5: you down as bratchet when your professional attitude, your professional image,
- 1:26:43Speaker 5: and your professional character is shining more than anything else.
- 1:26:47Speaker 5: That has to be a light of professionalism. The darkness
- 1:26:50Speaker 5: has to be your ratchetness, which should be shown behind camera.
- 1:26:54Speaker 5: So do what you want to do, but don't post it.
- 1:26:56Speaker 5: You should post the professionalism. That way people can only
- 1:26:59Speaker 5: see you as a professional. Don't let people judge.
- 1:27:04Speaker 2: You for.
- 1:27:06Speaker 18: You should themn your life because people judge you. Is
- 1:27:08Speaker 18: what I just want to know, what's a professional beach attack?

- 1:28:40Speaker 1: Now people are upset a little bit and saying that
- 1:28:42Speaker 1: that's not professional. They want her to be more professional.
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: They want her to act like a journalist and act
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: like she works for one of these huge companies. Yeah, Friday, Okay.
- 1:28:54Speaker 2: And I told Lauren this already.
- 1:28:55Speaker 3: I did have somebody reach out to me and said
- 1:28:57Speaker 3: they actually said to me that Laurence should decide whether
- 1:29:00Speaker 3: she wants to be an influencer or a journalist.
- 1:29:02Speaker 16: I think those days are dead. Yeah, I think I
- 1:29:05Speaker 16: want you guys to understand that.
- 1:29:07Speaker 18: And just in the first week of me covering the
- 1:29:09Speaker 18: Diddy child the way that I've been doing it, which
- 1:29:11Speaker 18: honestly is just me turning on my camera telling people
- 1:29:13Speaker 18: how I feel.
- 1:29:14Speaker 16: I've had the Wall Street Journal reach out to me.
- 1:29:16Speaker 18: I've had NBC News for in New York reach out
- 1:29:19Speaker 18: to me several times and we're working on something right now.
- 1:29:21Speaker 18: I've had BBC. I've had the best because shut up,
- 1:29:33Speaker 18: I said, wow, no, no, no, not like the news outlet,
- 1:29:36Speaker 18: not the like. But a lot of those platforms say
- 1:29:43Speaker 18: to me they like what I do because they can't
- 1:29:45Speaker 18: do it.
- 1:29:46Speaker 16: And I've never been that girl.
- 1:29:47Speaker 18: That's why I've always said, I don't know after I
- 1:29:49Speaker 18: left my last job, where I would work, because this is.
- 1:29:51Speaker 4: How I am and it's not changing. I believe that
- 1:29:53Speaker 4: they want professionalism. They go to Brown Girl grinding, that
- 1:29:56Speaker 4: is your brand. You do nothing but what aligns with
- 1:29:59Speaker 4: your brand there and then and they want a little
- 1:30:00Speaker 4: bit more personality, they go to Laura l Usa.
- 1:30:03Speaker 2: That's it all right, we got hello, who's this Hi, Tay, Tay.
- 1:30:07Speaker 2: What's your thoughts? Tay?
- 1:30:08Speaker 14: So I'm kind of in the middle because I'm a
- 1:30:11Speaker 14: stay at home mom, but I volunteer at my kids'
- 1:30:15Speaker 14: school and I'm on the parent board, and I sit
- 1:30:17Speaker 14: on different you know, I have different titles at the school.
- 1:30:20Speaker 14: So the administrators and the staff and everything, they look
- 1:30:23Speaker 14: at me a certain type of way. They uphold me
- 1:30:25Speaker 14: to a certain standard. So I remember one day recently,
- 1:30:28Speaker 14: I came up to my daughter's school to pick her
- 1:30:30Speaker 14: up and it was kind of warm, so I had
- 1:30:32Speaker 14: on the spaghetti strap like shirt and you could see
- 1:30:36Speaker 14: all of my tattoos. I have tattoos on my arms,
- 1:30:39Speaker 14: on my chests. And they weren't mad, but they were
- 1:30:42Speaker 14: looking at me like, oh wow, missus hooks like we
- 1:30:45Speaker 14: didn't know you were like that. They're looking at me
- 1:30:47Speaker 14: like a goodie two shoes. So I'm gonna say that, yes,
- 1:30:50Speaker 14: what you wear outside of work does have an effect
- 1:30:53Speaker 14: on your image, but that's not our fault, that society's fault.
- 1:30:57Speaker 14: It's how they view you, and it's not how you
- 1:30:59Speaker 14: should you yourself. So yes, like I said, I'm in
- 1:31:02Speaker 14: the middle. Yes, I agree that what it affects your immage,
- 1:31:05Speaker 14: buddy shouldn't since I didn't just put you in a
- 1:31:08Speaker 14: box like, oh, I'm a journalist, I have to dress
- 1:31:10Speaker 14: like a journalist twenty four to seven. No, I have
- 1:31:12Speaker 14: a life outside of this job that.
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: I do right period, Thank you Mama.
- 1:31:16Speaker 18: What I realize is like people are not used to
- 1:31:18Speaker 18: like normally you see a jondalists. No shade to the
- 1:31:20Speaker 18: other journalists girls, y'all know, I love y'all, But normally
- 1:31:22Speaker 18: you see journalists and like they're not coming how I'm
- 1:31:25Speaker 18: coming when I dress a different way.
- 1:31:27Speaker 16: No, I'm just saying that, Like, know, what I'm saying
- 1:31:30Speaker 16: is that where.
- 1:31:30Speaker 18: I you'd be quiet, I got mad at me, Like
- 1:31:37Speaker 18: I'm wrap my hair up because you're getting on my nerves.
- 1:31:40Speaker 18: What I'm you, Yes, what I'm saying is that my
- 1:31:43Speaker 18: background is a lot different than these other girls.
- 1:31:45Speaker 16: I come from runway. I've always been modeling.
- 1:31:51Speaker 2: Girl. You would never know America's next top model girl.
- 1:32:13Speaker 16: Actually, actually I actually listed three times.
- 1:32:15Speaker 17: For that.
- 1:32:20Speaker 2: Runway. I'm not even joking.
- 1:32:23Speaker 16: Fashion Week for Mad Feeder magazine, I've done.
- 1:32:26Speaker 2: It's a huge.
- 1:32:31Speaker 18: Matt Feeder is a a is a new media brand
- 1:32:33Speaker 18: for like the New Girl. So like all the new
- 1:32:35Speaker 18: female rappers go through their their fashion show is a
- 1:32:37Speaker 18: big deal and I opened.
- 1:32:39Speaker 22: Like I do.
- 1:32:39Speaker 4: This is what I'm saying. Since she was doing New
- 1:32:41Speaker 4: York fans, you just didn't believe her. You know what
- 1:32:44Speaker 4: I'm saying is what I listen to me. Listen, it's
- 1:32:54Speaker 4: not about leather shorts.
- 1:32:56Speaker 16: You know what I think it's about.
- 1:32:57Speaker 18: People can't What I was trying to get to is
- 1:32:59Speaker 18: people can't understand duality. I can be good at my job.
- 1:33:02Speaker 18: I can read, I set a little bit. I can read,
- 1:33:04Speaker 18: but I can also present well and everywhere I go
- 1:33:06Speaker 18: I'm just nice. So if that's your issue, you'll really
- 1:33:08Speaker 18: need to follow me because I'm cute and I know
- 1:33:09Speaker 18: it's it's nothing I can do.
- 1:33:11Speaker 4: Like, what do you want me to do?
- 1:33:12Speaker 17: Be you?
- 1:33:19Speaker 1: I agree with you a thousands said long. You should
- 1:33:21Speaker 1: be able to do what you want to do, how
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: you want to do it. You present yourself in court
- 1:33:25Speaker 1: a different way. You're on the beach.
- 1:33:26Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what you want her
- 1:33:28Speaker 2: to wear on the beach.
- 1:33:29Speaker 16: But even New York in the summertime, you.
- 1:33:32Speaker 2: Have a good time. That's what you want to do.
- 1:33:34Speaker 1: You don't have to dress up to prove or to
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: satisfy anybody out there.
- 1:33:37Speaker 2: They can all SMD. Now, you make yourself happy and
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: whatever makes you happy. If everybody I.
- 1:33:42Speaker 3: Would say to me, professionalism isn't about a tire, correct,
- 1:33:45Speaker 3: It's based on your work. Because I see people who
- 1:33:48Speaker 3: will praise Mark Cuban for coming to a meeting and
- 1:33:50Speaker 3: a T shirt, but they want somebody else to be
- 1:33:52Speaker 3: in a suit.
- 1:33:52Speaker 9: Correct.
- 1:33:52Speaker 3: But the reason they don't mind Mark Cuban being in
- 1:33:54Speaker 3: a T shirt because Mark Cuban has already shown up
- 1:33:56Speaker 3: and Mark Cuban has delivered results time after time. So
- 1:33:59Speaker 3: I just think that's what it's about you. To really
- 1:34:02Speaker 3: be looked at as a professional, you have to show
- 1:34:04Speaker 3: up and consistently and constantly do the work.
- 1:34:06Speaker 18: But you know what, I think, I think the days
- 1:34:08Speaker 18: of certain professionalism being in attire are just going. Like
- 1:34:11Speaker 18: when I even the way I talk that you know
- 1:34:14Speaker 18: that gets critique all the time, the way I talk
- 1:34:16Speaker 18: like this, all of that stuff. I think that what
- 1:34:18Speaker 18: the reason why y'all even care y'all arguing about my
- 1:34:21Speaker 18: leather and my whatever is because I'm cutting through and
- 1:34:23Speaker 18: I'm cutting through because I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm
- 1:34:26Speaker 18: being myself and you seeing the results, and that's all
- 1:34:29Speaker 18: it is. That people don't understand that, And that's okay.
- 1:34:31Speaker 18: If you don't hit, you got to hit the creep
- 1:34:33Speaker 18: dance before you, and I had to let my hair breathe.
- 1:34:40Speaker 18: I was just like, let me get the girls a
- 1:34:42Speaker 18: little bit of Yes, listen, people.
- 1:34:47Speaker 4: Want to say something saying what you want, toying to
- 1:34:52Speaker 4: find something, But what you do take this serious? Show
- 1:34:56Speaker 4: you really do take this stuff serious.
- 1:34:58Speaker 2: And that's what I want to see.
- 1:35:00Speaker 17: Yo.
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: He did, she did. She takes it very good serious.
- 1:35:03Speaker 2: I was gonna say the runway that you walk be
- 1:35:05Speaker 2: right there.
- 1:35:05Speaker 9: We didn't.
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: We don't. Oh my goodness, all right, we got the
- 1:35:09Speaker 2: ladies who run? What were you talking about?
- 1:35:12Speaker 3: It?
- 1:35:12Speaker 16: Never ladies, little fat feet, you could never.
- 1:35:18Speaker 2: All the time.
- 1:35:19Speaker 18: We're going back to Diddy. Yeah, and well really it's
- 1:35:23Speaker 18: Dawn and Q from day twenty six. There's a conversation
- 1:35:27Speaker 18: about why he was crying upset. He allegency was drugged
- 1:35:30Speaker 18: and I don't know some other thing.
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: We'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: the breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
- 1:35:40Speaker 4: Lauren becoming a straight fast.
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: She gets them. Somebody that knows, somebody gets the detail.
- 1:35:47Speaker 16: I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything,
- 1:35:49Speaker 16: and she'd be.
- 1:35:50Speaker 2: Having the latest on you.
- 1:35:52Speaker 9: The law The Latest with Lauren La Rosa.
- 1:35:55Speaker 3: Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
- 1:35:57Speaker 3: have a little bit of everything.
- 1:35:58Speaker 2: It's the latest.
- 1:35:59Speaker 9: The break was cloud.
- 1:36:02Speaker 16: So Q of day twenty six. You know, they were
- 1:36:05Speaker 16: all making the band four.
- 1:36:06Speaker 18: He has finally come out and had a conversation about
- 1:36:09Speaker 18: why he was so upset and crying. You know a
- 1:36:12Speaker 18: lot of his interviews talking about Diddy and that whole conversation,
- 1:36:15Speaker 18: and he is making some really huge allegations against Dawn Rochard.
- 1:36:20Speaker 16: Let's take a listen.
- 1:36:21Speaker 2: My ex at the time, which was Dawn. She gave
- 1:36:25Speaker 2: me an ecstasy pill.
- 1:36:26Speaker 26: Yeah, she said it was ecstasy, and she said it
- 1:36:28Speaker 26: was from Puff to give to me, and it was
- 1:36:30Speaker 26: red And I took it because I thought I was
- 1:36:33Speaker 26: going to get frea hut with my girlfriend, and I
- 1:36:35Speaker 26: trusted her that that's what it was. So I took
- 1:36:38Speaker 26: it immediately. And she had one too. He gave her
- 1:36:41Speaker 26: two of them. I took mine within like twenty minutes.
- 1:36:44Speaker 26: I knocked out and blacked out. I woke up in
- 1:36:47Speaker 26: the Twins' bedroom in the basement, and I woke up
- 1:36:50Speaker 26: out of my sleep screaming very very loud.
- 1:36:52Speaker 2: The Twins, Diddy Twins his girls.
- 1:36:54Speaker 26: Yeah, I woke up in their bed to Canber's filming
- 1:36:57Speaker 26: me and they were laughing as I woke up bottom
- 1:37:00Speaker 26: my sleep screaming and I'm not gonna cry.
- 1:37:05Speaker 2: It felt very sacrificial.
- 1:37:07Speaker 27: That's why I ad met when I said I felt
- 1:37:10Speaker 27: like they were trying to hurt me or Diddy was
- 1:37:12Speaker 27: trying to maybe sacrifice p that night. Now, when c
- 1:37:15Speaker 27: was up here, y'all remember that, we almost kind of
- 1:37:18Speaker 27: got to the Diddy conversation because we were asking did
- 1:37:21Speaker 27: they experience anything, and he was like, yeah, very triggering.
- 1:37:24Speaker 18: He didn't want to talk about it. Then they went
- 1:37:25Speaker 18: on I believe it was a black TV and he
- 1:37:27Speaker 18: broke down. But now we finally have some more details
- 1:37:29Speaker 18: and that comes from the Amy and TJ podcast Amy
- 1:37:33Speaker 18: Robot and TJ Holmes. They have this series that they're
- 1:37:35Speaker 18: doing with RBO Day called Covering the Didty Trial. So
- 1:37:39Speaker 18: he was a guest. Now, those allegations are big. It's
- 1:37:43Speaker 18: kind of crazy to hear it. Dawn actually had to
- 1:37:46Speaker 18: come out and respond because people were like, hold on,
- 1:37:48Speaker 18: with everything else that's going on, I don't think people
- 1:37:50Speaker 18: even yes. Uh, So Dawn came out and said that
- 1:37:54Speaker 18: you know, she wants to be clear. She has never
- 1:37:56Speaker 18: drugged anyone or given anybody any pills the suggestion that
- 1:37:59Speaker 18: she did so, it's categorically false. If such a belief
- 1:38:02Speaker 18: were genuine, it would be inconsistent with the actions that followed,
- 1:38:05Speaker 18: such as inviting me into your home, introduced me to
- 1:38:07Speaker 18: your youngest sisters and family, and continue a relationship with me.
- 1:38:09Speaker 18: It would also be inconsistent choosing to attend social events
- 1:38:13Speaker 18: without me engaging with individuals I had previously expressed concerns
- 1:38:16Speaker 18: about and continue to live with or provide favors to
- 1:38:20Speaker 18: those same individuals. Many of these actions occurred while I
- 1:38:23Speaker 18: was not present or even in contact with you throughout
- 1:38:25Speaker 18: our time together. Even after our separation, I made a
- 1:38:28Speaker 18: conscious decision to not share or disclose private matters or
- 1:38:30Speaker 18: the circumstances surrounding the end of our relationship to protect
- 1:38:33Speaker 18: you when she put you in caps.
- 1:38:35Speaker 16: I did this out of respect for you and your family.
- 1:38:37Speaker 2: I think the rest because.
- 1:38:38Speaker 3: She's doing the same thing the Q that people are
- 1:38:40Speaker 3: doing the Cassie like, why would you stay with a
- 1:38:42Speaker 3: person after they do something right?
- 1:38:44Speaker 9: You know?
- 1:38:44Speaker 2: Heaneously, but I don't know what's true and what's not.
- 1:38:46Speaker 2: I'm just saying it's interesting that that's true.
- 1:38:48Speaker 18: Yeah, the route she took, yeah, I mean but when
- 1:38:51Speaker 18: she went so Darwishard also took the stand in Diddy's trial,
- 1:38:55Speaker 18: and when she testified, she spoke in support of Cassie
- 1:38:58Speaker 18: for the most part. So I just want to make
- 1:38:59Speaker 18: sure that that's clear. But yes, people are doing that
- 1:39:01Speaker 18: to Cassie, and yes, yes, and that's exactly.
- 1:39:06Speaker 2: Why would you blah blah blah, that's not right.
- 1:39:10Speaker 4: Yeah, I just think it's crazy that she had took
- 1:39:13Speaker 4: the stand and nobody brought up to say that she
- 1:39:14Speaker 4: had just worked with Diddy. She's on the last album,
- 1:39:17Speaker 4: the album.
- 1:39:19Speaker 18: No, they didn't get to They brought up her being
- 1:39:21Speaker 18: in contact with him after leaving the whole Diddy situation
- 1:39:24Speaker 18: twenty eleven, but they didn't specifically bring up the love album.
- 1:39:27Speaker 18: And I did ask why did they not? And I
- 1:39:29Speaker 18: was told they don't know. But yeah, so that happened.
- 1:39:33Speaker 18: So maybe that's a bit more of an explanation for people.
- 1:39:37Speaker 18: But picking up spirits, yeah, because yeah, picking up the spirits,
- 1:39:43Speaker 18: pick up the spirits, picking up the spirits. Travis Hunter
- 1:39:46Speaker 18: married his fiance Leanna Leney. They got married on Saturday,
- 1:39:51Speaker 18: and did y'all see the video of him dancing at
- 1:39:54Speaker 18: the reception.
- 1:39:55Speaker 16: He seems so happy. I feel so bad for you.
- 1:39:57Speaker 9: I love it.
- 1:39:58Speaker 18: Oh my god, he's such a good There was also
- 1:40:00Speaker 18: a video that when biraled him this weekend of he
- 1:40:02Speaker 18: was like walking by a backyard and a kid was
- 1:40:05Speaker 18: like doing football training or like runs and he stops
- 1:40:08Speaker 18: him and kind of.
- 1:40:09Speaker 4: Like the kid is like, oh my god. But he
- 1:40:11Speaker 4: gives his new wife a g wagon. They're just having
- 1:40:14Speaker 4: a good time.
- 1:40:14Speaker 18: The wedding was beautiful, but people are having a conversation
- 1:40:16Speaker 18: about whether or not he got a prenup.
- 1:40:18Speaker 16: There have been reports that he has no prenup.
- 1:40:21Speaker 2: A relationship.
- 1:40:24Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 1:40:24Speaker 18: I mean, I think it's just because of all of
- 1:40:26Speaker 18: the stuff that went viral leading up to the wedding.
- 1:40:28Speaker 18: But I'm like, man, is this boy can't catch your break?
- 1:40:31Speaker 18: Because that has become the conversation around whether he should
- 1:40:34Speaker 18: have a prenup or not with this woman because of
- 1:40:37Speaker 18: our reports that he does not have one.
- 1:40:38Speaker 4: But look, if he don't want one, he don't want one,
- 1:40:41Speaker 4: work don't let I know, he young and all that, whatever,
- 1:40:44Speaker 4: if he don't want one and his mother not the
- 1:40:46Speaker 4: person to talk to him about that, or you know,
- 1:40:48Speaker 4: his wife's mother. It's all right, it's sorry. I'm pretty
- 1:40:51Speaker 4: sure he got lawyers and all ladies of professional athlete.
- 1:40:54Speaker 2: Right, yeah.
- 1:40:54Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:40:56Speaker 4: If he ain't take care of it, it may not
- 1:40:58Speaker 4: be his decisions, Okay, I mean it may have been
- 1:41:01Speaker 4: his decision to not have one. Like people to worried
- 1:41:04Speaker 4: about it.
- 1:41:04Speaker 3: People are so invested in their relationship and it's we
- 1:41:06Speaker 3: because it's like, if they work out, they work out,
- 1:41:09Speaker 3: it's for them, right. If it doesn't work out, it
- 1:41:12Speaker 3: doesn't work out, And guess what only people got to
- 1:41:14Speaker 3: deal with that is them?
- 1:41:16Speaker 2: People can't.
- 1:41:17Speaker 7: Man.
- 1:41:18Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean I just thought it was unfortunate.
- 1:41:20Speaker 18: I'm like that he's so happy and celebrating and boom,
- 1:41:22Speaker 18: here come to conversations, but say, like you'd.
- 1:41:24Speaker 4: Be happy celebrating yourself then boom, why she went it?
- 1:41:27Speaker 16: But you know what, I'm not mad at it. I'd
- 1:41:29Speaker 16: be like, boom, let's post some merch to tell.
- 1:41:31Speaker 4: So yeah, Travis ain't mad, but he was just as happy.
- 1:41:35Speaker 4: Oh my god, he was so happy that he backed
- 1:41:37Speaker 4: it up and bought a coward.
- 1:41:38Speaker 16: And hitting the little dance.
