Ronnie Bowe
Of that, like, I was really irritated. It's like, bro, come on, man, what you doing? Then you went beyond. You know what I mean? I'm asking you nicely, bro, come on. You know, And I beat his ass. You know what I mean? No, I. I never. I never had, though, the issue, like, God is my witness, I never been harmed in any way in prison. I never got beat up in prison.
Sean Atwood
All right, guys. Ronnie Bow here today from Milwaukee, flew in today. Thanks for joining us today, man.
Ronnie Bowe
Absolutely. It's an honor. Sean.
Sean Atwood
Yeah. You've been in some drama lately, man. What happened with Sean Outlord? He took down all your interviews recently.
Ronnie Bowe
Well, I actually like Sean, man. It was. It was his staff that actually created the. The problem, and he didn't go about it the right way to resolve the issue. So, you know, so now it's an issue between me and Sean, unfortunately.
Sean Atwood
So what. What did his staff do?
Ronnie Bowe
Well, initially, when I first. My first interview with Sean Atwood, I don't know if he considered dude his moderator, but this dude named Shane is the one that reached out to me. He came off as a decent person at first. He seemed very friendly. We was cordial at first. But when we first went live, for some reason, he asked the Sean Atwood audience to donate to me, Right. I wasn't aware that they was going to do that. And when he asked the audience to donate to me, he told the audience to send the contributions to his PayPal and it was live. So I didn't want to address the issue then. So I addressed the issue afterwards. And when I addressed the issue, another one of Sean at Woods staff or whatever, this guy named Ron Swanson, right? We. We were all in a WhatsApp group together. Me, Sean, Ron, few other people. Natanya Rubin. Shout out to Natanya Rubin. She's the one who Diddy shot in the face during the incident. I think it was 99.
Sean Atwood
Damn.
Ronnie Bowe
With Sean when he did like 12 years for that. Yeah. So Diddy shot her in the face. So she was in the group. I see her as a sister, but we were all in a group. So when I confronted the issue and it was like, bro, why did you. Basically, why would you tell the audience to send the money to you? And the guy, Ron, he got rude about it. He jumped into the conversation, he got rude and he said some very disrespectful things. I don't know what type of person they thought I was, but I don't tolerate disrespect. You know what I mean? I'm a, as you can see, I'm a very respectful person.
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
But I don't tolerate disrespect. So it got out of hand and yeah, from there, once it got out of hand, you know, I had to deal with the situation accordingly and it just went too far, you know what I mean? So it became like a beef. So you know, when you beef or war with a person, like the art of war teach you to know your opponent.
Sean Atwood
That's a good book.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah, you know, you got to know yourself and your opponent. So I look dude up and the dude, Ron Swanson, right, He got, it's like three documentaries out about him. Similar to the documentaries that are out about R. Kelly. And the allegations about Ron Swanson were even worse than the things that are alleged about R. Kelly. So it's like, damn, it's like, Sean, these the type of people who you got working for you, you know? And then he knew that me and Jaguar Wright was cool, so he tried to have Jaguar Wright resolve the issue and they just went about it the wrong way in a disrespectful way. So you know, you know, when I'm disrespected, I, I disrespect and it got out of hand. Boo.
Sean Atwood
Damn, that's crazy. The only way to resolve it sounds like a sit down with him.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah, I tried that but he just went about it the wrong way. So at that point, you know, it's like, it's conflict, it's beef, it's war, you know?
Sean Atwood
Yeah. So it's not your first rodeo without, right?
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah. No, I ain't gonna say I like war, I like peace, but you know, it's fun for me, you know what I mean? I've been to war all my life.

Ronnie Bowe
So it's fun. And they actually like losing, like, terribly. Like, if you look at Sean Atwood's views, around the time that I was doing business with them, they were succeeding. But if you look at his views now, it's like he got about a million subscribers, and the views is, like, terrible. And you could. You could blame me for that, but it's war.
Sean Atwood
Yeah. I mean, you pulled a lot of views on those interviews. Over 100k on each one, right?
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah, about. About that. And when I asked him, why are you taking all my interviews down, bro? He blamed it on Diddy.
Sean Atwood
Really?
Ronnie Bowe
He blamed it on Diddy? He said, well, Diddy has a lawsuit against me, and I have to take down every interview that he's mentioned in. So it's like, bro, come on, man. I don't know if I just look that stupid. I probably do, but I'm not that stupid. So it's like, bro, my content wasn't about Diddy. My content was about Jay Z and R. Kelly. So you really gonna run with that? And he. He told Jaguar Wright the same thing.
Sean Atwood
And it's like, did he take down Jaguar's interviews?
Ronnie Bowe
A couple.
Sean Atwood
Oh, okay. So maybe it was a loss, but her.
Ronnie Bowe
No, but hers was. She was speaking about Diddy. I. I didn't say much about Diddy, if anything. I don't remember saying anything about Diddy. You know what I mean?
Sean Atwood
Yeah, well, Jaguar went on Piers Morgan, and man had. Take that one down. Did you see that?
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah, but that was about Jay Z. Yeah, and I understand, like, Jay Z reached out to. Well, he had his attorneys reach out to Piers Morgan, just like he had his attorneys reach out to my probation officer.
Sean Atwood
Yeah, you had to take down some stuff for him, right?
Ronnie Bowe
Take down. I didn't take down this.
Sean Atwood
Oh, really?
Ronnie Bowe
No. Like the podcast. That. That's the thing. Like, I. I want to. I want to say this, Sean. Like, you seem like a straightforward person, honest person. Like, I have done many interviews. Right. Some of those interviews never came out because I'm a truth speaker. And when you speak the truth, you know, sometimes that ruffle the wrong feathers. And then it's like, I can't put this out. I mean, like, even me and you, like, this was supposed to happen months ago, right? Yeah, but I mean, you fell back because you said you told Matthew Cox or whatever that Jay Z reached out to you and that you didn't want him to do it.
Sean Atwood
Yeah, I got a season desist. I've never got one before for the pod.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah, but that was a cease and desist against me, not you. Yeah, but I understood, like, people don't want nothing to do with that. You. You run a legitimate business, a successful bitch, and you not willing to jeopardize that for Ronnie. Bo. You don't know Ronnie. Bo. I understood that, like, my situation with other podcasters is a little bit deeper. Like, they want to control narratives. You know what I mean? Like, if you want the truth, let me give you the truth, and I can only give you my truth. You know what I mean? Like, for example, when I was incarcerated with R. Kelly, right?
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
A female who I was dealing with at the time, she posted some on her social media saying that Ronnie Bow was locked up with R. Kelly. And it went viral. And somehow TMZ got the news. To be exact, this news reporter for that worked for TMZ named Jacob Wasserman, reached out to her and said, could you get us in contact with Ronnie Bolt? So she made the connection. And when I talked to Jacob Weiserman, I gave my truth. And he wanted to. He didn't want the truth. He wanted me to say bad things about R. Kelly. I mean, a lot of people could say bad things about R. Kelly. I didn't have anything bad to say about him. And it was like he was basically saying, will, we could do the interview and get you on tmz. But, like, the audience want to hear more so that R. Kelly is getting beat up or he getting grape.
Sean Atwood
Yeah, yeah. Well, TMZ type of stuff. TMZ thrives off that stuff.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah. They want to hear back. And I hadn't bad to say, so they didn't. They never put the interview out because I didn't have nothing bad to say about the man. You know what I'm saying? Like, you gotta understand, like, most of the time that I was locked up with R. Kelly was during a Covid coronavirus pandemic, right? And at that time, like, you gotta understand that we didn't know what y'all was going through in the community, you know what I'm saying? So imagine what people was going through in prison. Like, if y'all thought the world was coming to an end, just imagine how we felt. You know what I mean? Like, it was days that they didn't feed us.
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
You know what I mean? It was. I mean, it was bad in there, bro. So, like, R. Kelly, probably when he was venting to me, he probably felt like this. These was his last words. Like, that's how we felt in there, all of us. And that caused inmates to bond with each other, you know what I'm saying? So despite what anybody else think about R. Kelly, like, they don't know my experiences. They don't. They. They don't know that I was a book author 12 years before I met R. Kelly. And I guess you can say I was a conspiracy theorist, because I didn't really have proof behind my theories. But meeting R. Kelly and speak with him, it's like he confirmed a lot of my theories. You know what I mean?
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
I didn't care what the media. I didn't care about what people were saying in the surviving R. Kelly documentaries. Like, I didn't. I didn't care about none of that. You know, I mean, I wanted to hear his side of the story. I wanted to hear his perspective on things, and. And that was it. And I even wanted to write a book on his side of the story. You know, everybody else heard everybody else side of the story. I wanted. I'm. I'm locked up with you, bro. You know what I'm saying? I want to put your side of the story out. And that's what I took in, like, what he felt like the real problem was and why these documentaries came out. You know what I mean? And, you know, I got a lot of insight from R. Kelly being locked up with him.
Sean Atwood
The media portrayed him in a terrible manner. I wonder how much of that was true.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah, and that's another thing, because, like, I'm like a protege of Malcolm X. I study everything about Malcolm X. And Malcolm X said that the most dangerous and the most powerful weapon that the United States government has is the media. And he said it's because the media has the power to make the innocent look guilty and to make the guilty look innocent. So, you know, taking that into consideration, I didn't want to just write R. Kelly off as guilty.
Sean Atwood
Yeah. I mean, you're seeing that with Trump, with Tate. You know, the media is just attacking these guys.
Ronnie Bowe
Not just that, but I saw the Mike Tyson, Kobe Bryant, Tupac, Michael Jackson, all these influential black figures were accused of doing sexual crimes with people, you know what I mean? And it just, like, why all of them? You know what I mean? Like, it just didn't sit right with me. So I didn't. I didn't really feed into what the media was saying, you know, about R. Kelly. I want to see. I Want to hear his side of the story?
Sean Atwood
You think these. There's any truth with these parties? Like, these elite parties?
Ronnie Bowe
As far as who? Like, the Illuminati?
Sean Atwood
Just like, the Diddy stuff? Like, you hear these parties and these after party.
Ronnie Bowe
I thought you was talking about, like, the. But yeah, yeah, it's. Of course. You know, you got to think, like. Like, I had a time in my life, like, before mainstream knew about Ronnie Bowe. I was huge locally in my city. And when you get a certain type of power, you feel like you could just do anything. You know what I'm saying? You see how these females gravitate towards you. You see how people gravitate towards you. You feel like you can have your weight, and if you don't got no integrity, that may get the best of you. And, like, I got integrity, so I didn't let the power make me treat people like they were any less than me. But when people like Diddy, it don't seem like Diddy has any integrity. So you got to think when you got all this power, you know what I mean? I just published a new book called Darkest Fantasy. Darkest Fantasies of the Richest Freaks. Right? Now, when you got a lot of money and power, like, all type of stuff go through your mind. Like, I could do this. I could do that. You know what I mean? And if you don't got no integrity, you gonna do some of the most ignoble things because you just feel like you can do whatever you want to do and get away with it.
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
You know what I mean?
Sean Atwood
I feel like you get desensitized to normal things when you have that much money and power, too. You got to keep finding crazier and crazier things to do.
Ronnie Bowe
Absolutely.
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
Absolutely.
Sean Atwood
Yeah. So you see these guys and a lot of these rich guys start going to these freaky parties or whatever, right? It's wild. What's going on with Kanye, man? People think he's crazy, but you think he's actually crazy like that, or you think he's just marketing?
Ronnie Bowe
I think Kanye genius, and I think the media is just afraid of people who become so influential. Like, when you become so influential that you could, like, impact the thoughts and actions of the population, right? And. And you not know you're not no politician or nothing like that, and they can't control you now. If they can control you, it's cool. You know what I mean? Like, okay, he got this influence. We can control him, so he gonna stay aligned with this agenda. But people like Kanye west is like, you can't control people like Kanye west or people like me, like Ronnie Bowe, like, you know what I mean? Like we, not we, all that. You know what I mean? So you gotta try to make people like that seem crazy so the population don't follow them. You gotta think like, okay, they named Jay Z a billionaire, right? Kanye west, he was worth more billions than Jay Z, but they couldn't control Kanye. So it's like if Kanye is this successful and Jay Z is this successful, and we want people to follow Jay Z, but Kanye is more successful, so they gonna gravitate towards him. They don't want that, bro. You know what I mean? They want the person that they can control. So even Kanye was explaining like, I've been a billionaire before Jay Z, but they didn't want to name me no billionaire because they didn't want people looking up to me. They didn't want people to follow me. You know what I mean?
Sean Atwood
Yeah, that's nuts. How many of these a list celebrities you think are controlled in some way?
Ronnie Bowe
The majority. And those who ain't, they eventually get in line, you know, I mean, once you like, like even, even with me, like I'm not as big as Kanye west or Jay Z, but I'm becoming very influential and they starting to see that I'm the type of person that can't be controlled. You know what I mean? So I get death threats and it's been attempts.
Sean Atwood
Damn.
Ronnie Bowe
Like recently.
Sean Atwood
Holy crap.
Ronnie Bowe
My, my good, my good friend is actually in the studio with this and people would think I'm exaggerating. But she's aware because when the incident happened, I told her about the attempt, I mean, on my, on my life. And you know, people would think you, you lying or exaggerating, but this stuff really go on, bro. Like when you become influential, like and they can't control you, they either want to. It's either incarcerate or. Or assassinate.
Sean Atwood
Damn, that's scary, dude.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah.
Sean Atwood
Makes you really wonder like what people sacrifice to get where they're at, right?
Ronnie Bowe
Well.
Sean Atwood
So like you see all these people that people idolize, they look up to and you're like, wow, how did they get there? You know, did they had to conform in some way? Because being independent in the music industry, it's really hard to make it right.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah.
Sean Atwood
I don't know many artists that have really blown up being independent.
Ronnie Bowe
Not many. And, and I'm independent and I'mma stay independent and see like, like people like me, like, I really study people like Dr. King and Malcolm X and I I look at they core message and the day before Dr. King was assassinated, he had a message to the population, right? And he was telling people we need to withdraw economically from the establishments that are funding these movements that are against us. For example, like, like people, people see these glasses right here, right? They, they automatically think they Cartiers, right? Now this is a, actually a Milwaukee brand called Diamantes, right? And the owners, you know, one of the owners that is Eric, he gave me these glasses, right?
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
And he gave me these glasses because I've been wearing Cartiers all my life. I'm one of the pioneers of wearing Cartiers, you know what I mean? Like a lot of the rappers these days, they brag about wearing Cartiers, but no, Cartier is a billion dollar brand. But they don't contribute nothing to my community, my culture, you know what I mean? However, Diamante created a better brand, a better quality, you know, eyewear, you know what I mean? And they willing to sponsor me, they willing to help me. So why would I continue to wear Cartier, you know, just because they cute or whatever, you know, I look just as cute in Diamantes and they actually a better brand and they willing to back my movement, you know what I mean? And Dr. King was saying, like companies like Pepsi, Coca Cola, all these other like billion, billion dollar corporations, you know, a lot of people in the, in the hip hop culture, the black culture, whatever you want to consider it, they wear Gucci, Louis Vuitton and they brag about wearing these brands, you know what I mean? These brands don't donate, contribute nothing to our community, you know what I mean? We have to withdraw from that and either build our own brands or support the brands that support us, you know what I mean?
Sean Atwood
Yeah. A lot of these designer brands are getting exposed right now on social media because they make the bags for like 20 bucks and they sell the Gucci bag or whatever for thousands. It's crazy. Their margins are insane. They're ripping people off. I mean, it's great marketing. You got to give them up.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah. Like if you look at most of my interviews, this right here, this, this my brand, you know what I mean? Because, and I do this because I understand branding. Like I could get on here and wear Gucci or Louis Vuitton. But why, you know what I mean? Like, to impress who, you know what I mean? Like, I'm trying to build something myself for, you know, I'm trying to establish generational wealth for myself, my people, my culture, my community, you know what I mean? And if I Support Louis Vuitton, Gucci and all that. Like, where's the money going? I'm spending all this money buying y'all brand to impress who, you know what I mean? And that money is not going back into our community. And people need to understand the significance of that, bro.
Sean Atwood
Yeah, When I was younger, I used to think that I used to buy stuff, watches and stuff. But as I've gotten older, it matters less to me. Material objects.
Ronnie Bowe
I'd rather wear a digital social hour hoodie, you know what I mean?
Sean Atwood
I love it, bro. Appreciate that.
Ronnie Bowe
I'm cool with you, you know what I mean? I'll be representing a brand that I'm associated with, you know what I mean?
Sean Atwood
Love it. Amazon took down one of your books, huh? What happened with that?
Ronnie Bowe
Well, it's back up. But the book Challenging the Illuminati is the one that you referring to, right?
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
And it's a lot of information in that book that they don't want the population, they don't want the public to know about. Like a lot of the. The hidden messages from people again, like Malcolm X, Dr. King, people like that people again, they forget the core messages that these people was assassinated for. So I put a lot of that information in that book. And of course they assassinated people for this information. So to see that Ronnie Bowe coming from out of nowhere and like delineating this information in a way that people can understand is like this. This book is a threat. And they. They took it down. But I pushed to get it back up. And last time I checked, which was yesterday, it's background.
Sean Atwood
Oh, wow. Did they. Do they give you a reason when they took it down or just no reason at all?
Ronnie Bowe
No, they didn't even respond. I just noticed that it was back up. And see, the thing about the book, like, I don't write these books for money. And a prime example of that is like the interview I did with Matthew Cox again, shout out to Matthew Cox. Cause he is the reason why I'm here with you today.
Sean Atwood
Yeah. Shout out to Matt.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah.
Sean Atwood
Crazy story. He's got a crazy story.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah. That's my dude, man. I got a lot of love and respect for Matt, but one of the interviews that I did with him went viral, right? And in that interview, I gave out my personal phone number. One of these. This number, to be exact. Matter of fact, this number ring too much. It's on DND right from that interview. It still get too many calls, too many takes I can't keep up with. So for now, I'm Gonna give out this number. It's 414-587-1919. And those who call that number. I just published a new book, and I'm gonna give everybody that book for free. If they share this interview, if they subscribe to digital social hour, if they like it, you know, I mean, any of that, any engagement, you know what I mean? Screenshot it to me. Show me, you know, I'm gonna give it to y'all for free, you know what I mean? And that's what I did on Matthew Cox show. I just want people to have the knowledge, bro. You know? I mean, like, if they contributed and give back. Thank you. That keep me from going back to the streets. I sold drugs all my life, and I've been locked up all my life for selling drugs. I do not want to go back to that. So if they buy the books, thank God. Thank God there's somebody, you know what I'm saying? Buying my books and keeping me out the streets. But it's not about that. I want people to have the knowledge, you know what I mean? Because, like, money can go so far, but if I die today and let's say I got $10 million put up, like, I can't control what happened with that money, but with this knowledge that I'm putting out, it's gonna inspire people, it's gonna enlighten people, and it's gonna guide people to be able to do what I'm doing or what Malcolm h. Did, what Dr. King did, you know, Fred Hampton, people like that.
Sean Atwood
Damn, that's powerful, man. That's cool. Yeah, I know you told your kids you're not going to go back to the streets anymore. I saw another interview you did.
Ronnie Bowe
No, I can't. And. And. And I promise her.
Sean Atwood
I love that.
Ronnie Bowe
I promise my. My mom.
Sean Atwood
Was that after your last time in prison?
Ronnie Bowe
I can't. I can't do that to them no more. Because, you know, when you. When you take those risks, bro, you know, sometimes you feel like it's necessary, and you. And you got to. But when the consequences catch up with you, it's not about you. You not just hurting yourself. You know what I'm saying? If you got kids, you leaving your kids out there without a father, you know what I'm saying? And that puts them in the position to go through the same thing you went through. And I'm trying to end that cycle, you know what I mean? Yeah.
Sean Atwood
Damn. How long were you with R. Kelly in prison?
Ronnie Bowe
Well, I went to MCC, Chicago. I turned myself in June 23, 2019. He ended up getting indicted, like, July or August. It was a month or two later, right?
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
So we both got indicted in the Northern District, Illinois, which is Chicago. So, you know, when you get indicted, you catch a Fed case out there. You know, everybody goes to MCC Chicago. You know, the people who go anywhere else is the people who get ran out of there or, you know, stuff like that. But for the most part, you go to MCC Chicago, so that's just where we both ended up at.
Sean Atwood
He got a lot of time, right? I don't know the exact years he.
Ronnie Bowe
Got, but I think he got 30 in the. In the New York indictment, and he got like another 30 in the Chicago.
Sean Atwood
Holy crap. And they stack those.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah, jeez. Unfortunately. But I know people probably looking at me like, why is this dude saying unfortunately? Because R. Kelly possibly deserved that, but I don't know if he deserved that. I don't know if he did that. Maybe dude is a creep, but that's not the R. Kelly I met. So I can't speak from that point of view.
Sean Atwood
I mean, you spent a lot of time with him. So people that are talking online didn't meet him face to face and spend years with him, right?
Ronnie Bowe
No, no. And then, like, I'm a good judge of character. You know what I mean? Like, you could. Like, God just gave me this gift. Like, I. I could see a person, know him for five minutes and just know this person is full of crap. Or this person seemed like a real person, you know?
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
And R. Kelly actually seemed like a real person, bro. And looking at his past, like, he didn't. He didn't have the best upbringing. So even if he is a terrible person, like, I mean, I can't justify that by his upbringing. But everybody don't get through that type of mud and come out with no stains on them, right? I mean, so I think he. All right, dude. You know what I mean? And I think just like. Like, I look at recently, bro, are you familiar with what just happened? Are. Do you know Angie Stone?
Sean Atwood
No.
Ronnie Bowe
Okay. She just died. Right before she died, she was speaking out about how Universal Records, the music industry, owes her a lot of money. You know what I mean? And you look at Prince, Michael Jackson, all the Whitney Houston, all these people who probably created a catalog that's worth billions, you know what I mean? And they barely getting by eventually, you know, you look at your circumstances and you can't take care of your loved ones, and it's like, wow, I supposed to be worth billions. Like, where's all my money. And then you get to the point you want to stand up and try to fight for your money. And it's like, why, when they stand up, why, when R. Kelly wanted his money, why was he indicted? You know what I mean? Why, when Angie Stone tried to fight for her money, she died. Why, when Whitney Houston wanted her money, she died. Why wouldn't Prince start talking about this stuff? You know, he died. You know what I mean? Like, eventually, people gotta start reading between all those lines and see that it's. It's something going on behind the scenes.
Sean Atwood
That's a lot of coincidences you just named, right?
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah. And the coincidences eventually add up to a conspiracy, you know what I mean?
Sean Atwood
Right? And, yeah, and a lot of those are coming out to be true these days. Conspiracies used to be crazy for even saying that word 10, 15 years ago. Yeah, yeah. But now, I mean, follow the money, right? Money don't lie. You follow the money trail. You find out what's going on. Yeah, yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
You gotta think, bro. R. Kelly catalog was worth 1.2 billion.
Sean Atwood
Damn. Not much.
Ronnie Bowe
And he a person that big, you know, he performed at the Olympics. He. He wrote for Michael Jackson. He has some of the biggest hits. I Believe I Can fly in. You know, we can name many others. Like, this dude basically had to go on tour just to take care of himself and his people.
Sean Atwood
Damn.
Ronnie Bowe
You know what I mean? When he should have been sitting on $1.2 billion. And when he realized that he was worth that and tried to petition and get his worth, you know, now all these allegations, like, if he been doing all this, like, you know, maybe he did. But why y'all didn't put all that out 20 years ago when y'all said it happened? You know what I mean?
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
Why y'all wait till he start petitioning for his money to start saying he did all these terrible things, you know?
Sean Atwood
She must have signed a bad deal, huh? Record deal.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah, he did. And R. Kelly, not the. Not to talk down on him, but he. He not the wisest guy, you know. And these music contracts, even if you are the wisest guy, you know, the. The terminology, very confusing. So you read this stuff, you think it mean one thing and it mean the other, you know, I mean, like, it's. It's crazy. And I know because, you know, I was a part of the industry, you know, I mean, like, and I'm a businessman, and I study all aspects, and I had to realize that, like, it was a book I read when I was Incarcerated called Secrets to Negotiating a Music Contract. And it explained like how, like for example, tlc. I don't know if you're familiar with them, but heard of them, they like damn near went diamond. And it was a group of three.
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
And they paid them $12,000, like total, which they split, which was like what, 4,000 a piece. And they was supposed to probably get maybe 4 million apiece.
Sean Atwood
Holy crap.
Ronnie Bowe
You know what I mean? But the contracts say this and that and you think it mean you gonna get your worth and it mean that you are forever in debt to us and you are our slave for the rest of your life. When you look up the terminology of those contracts, man.
Sean Atwood
So signing to a label is not the best move these days. On.
Ronnie Bowe
No, I mean, they. Things are changing. People are starting to realize that it's best to be independent. But some people don't. Don't have a business mind. And they. When, like, for example, if a label tell you we're going to give you a million dollars, that sound big. If I tell my mama right now, I just signed a million dollar deal, she gonna be happy. Like, wow, you got a million dollars. But they make. The million dollars is actually a loan, right? It's, it's, it's a loan. And, and then how they, how they work the million dollars is like, okay, we gave this million dollar loan. It seemed like a deal like this is advanced, like this go in your pocket. But this million dollars is a budget and they control the budget. So they could, they could shoot a video for you, right? And they could pay 10,000 for the video until you. We pay a hundred thousand dollars for this video. So they already displayed you out of a hundred thousand dollars because that hundred thousand dollars takes away from your budget and they only pay 10,000. And then while you're on tour, like even if you go to McDonald's, this all come out your budget. You know what I mean?
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
And so at the end of the day, they basically say, okay, we spent this million dollars on you when they probably only spent 50,000.
Sean Atwood
They inflate everything.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah, yeah. And then you owe a million dollars for what only cost $50,000. Then you got to pay that million dollars back. And then like your income is like cents on a dollar. Like for. Let's, let's say you, let's say for each record you get $10, right. You might get nine cent out of that $10, right? So that nine cent when $10 times a hundred thousand is a million, right? You gotta look at that 9 cent times a hundred thousand, which is probably only what, 9. 90,000 or something like that? Yeah, my math ain't that.
Sean Atwood
Or is it 90,000?
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah. So even if you made the million dollars back, they telling you that that's only 90,000. And I know even, even with me explaining this clearly, it sound very confusing, you know, but that's how I go.
Sean Atwood
Yeah, yeah. They probably word everything in a certain way in the contract that makes it look nice and good. Yeah, I don't see a lot of artists happy about their contracts these days.
Ronnie Bowe
No, they don't know no better. Like it's a lot of people with a lot of talent and they just want to make it so when some of these big names like you hear a Roc Nation or Universal want to sign you, you just, you, you excited. Like you, you, you get to tell all your, your family and friends this major label want to sign and it sound like the best thing to do, but it was not.
Sean Atwood
Nah. Lulu Ziver, man, He signed a 360. He hasn't dropped the song in what, seven years now? Yeah, crazy.
Ronnie Bowe
I don't follow that dude much. He.
Sean Atwood
Yeah, you probably like the older school stuff, right?
Ronnie Bowe
No, it's just, it's just some stuff. Be weird.
Sean Atwood
That's an understatement with him, man. Yeah. Well, there's that theory that the CIA infiltrated the hip hop industry. Have you seen that?
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah.
Sean Atwood
With all the programming and the music.
Ronnie Bowe
Active in all government operations.
Sean Atwood
Yeah, they say they've, they've infiltrated their programming the music to make the. You think in a certain way.
Ronnie Bowe
Absolutely. And as I explained in the book Challenging the Illuminati, music is very, very powerful and influential. Like you, you familiar with Napoleon Hill, right?
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
Okay. Law of attraction. Some people would consider it wishful thinking, but you know, it talks about repetition. Right. Like if you tell yourself every day, I'm a millionaire, I'm gonna be a millionaire. Like you start attracting these things to you. Like music is repetition, like the course is repetition. People repeat these certain things and that stuff get in your mind. And when they get in your mind, you know, it's a process. Like it's your program, then it's your thoughts, and then your thoughts lead to your emotions and your emotions, you know, you act out of your emotions and then when you make the action, there's a consequence and you trace this all the way back to your program. You know, the way you was raised to believe or taught to believe. And a lot of people in the community, you know, they program is based on music Even me, I'm a victim of that. Like, I grew up on music that taught that B words, females ain't nothing. So I started treating females like that. Like, in my early days, I grew up on music that taught that they glorified selling drugs. And I actually started selling drugs when I was 11. Damn, that's young. Like. Like a lot of the youth right now, they listen to music that glorify killing people. So they feel like it's cool to be able to say you kill somebody and they feel like that. That makes them feel like they are special, you know what I mean? Like they somebody. If they could say that they killed somebody, this is what the music teach them, you know what I mean? So I think in that way, it's gonna lead to emotion, and that emotion gonna lead to action. The action gonna lead to a consequence, and that consequence gonna be either death or jail.
Sean Atwood
I mean, so 100. A lot of violent music these days, man. Blows my mind.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah.
Sean Atwood
Yeah. That stuff is dangerous, especially with repetition. Like you're saying if you listen about every day, you're gonna start believing every word. Yeah, yeah. People don't realize that music is super powerful. Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
And they. The government know that. The CIA, they definitely know that. The honor sign.
Sean Atwood
I used to listen to a lot of rap, but I had to cut back, man. Only before basketball. Now if I want to get angry.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah.
Sean Atwood
You know, it does a good job at that.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah.
Sean Atwood
Get you mad before the game.
Ronnie Bowe
You know that sometimes that you could channel it. Yeah, you could channel. You can. You can even channel emotions that are considered negative emotions into some positive. Like, for example, let's say working out. Like, when I first started working out, I was in prison. And, you know, the weightlifters would tell me, like, before you push, think about something that make you mad. You know what I mean? So I think about something to make me mad and then push, and I will be able to push. You know what I mean?
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
So you can channel it that way, but you can also channel it in ways that are, you know, negative.
Sean Atwood
100. Were people going at you at prison where people trying to pick on you?
Ronnie Bowe
No, I never really. I never really had that problem.
Sean Atwood
Really? You didn't get in any fights or anything?
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah, but that's why I never had that problem. Because, like, when I first started going to prison, I was young, bro. You know what I mean? And it was a lot of frustration and pain and anger built up. So anything like my first fight, right, We. We all sitting at. At the table eating and. And this One dude was just smacking, you know what I'm saying? Sometimes that irritates you. So I tell him, like, bro, like, bro, stop smacking like that, bro. You know what I'm saying? Like, you can eat with your mouth, you know what I'm saying? Then he started doing it on purpose. So I got mad. And I can't cuss, right?
Sean Atwood
No, you can.
Ronnie Bowe
So I beat his ass, right? I was mad though, right? And when you do something like that in front of everybody, people start looking like, dude, don't play with dude. You know what I mean? So I established that reputation early on in jail. Like. Like I. I didn't play at all. And then, like, people already knew me from the street, so.
Sean Atwood
Yeah, yeah, I heard that's a thing. When you get to prison, you're supposed to fight right away, right?
Ronnie Bowe
No, you don't post to. But you can't let nobody, can't let nobody try you. Because if you let one person try you and people, you know, everybody looking at this, you know what I'm saying, Dude, get away with that. Now dude think he can try you, and that person think he can try you, so you eventually gonna have to fight, you know what I'm saying? So it's like the first, like I did, I didn't do it because of that. Like, I was really irritated and it's like, bro, come on, man, what are you doing? Then you, you, you, you. You went beyond. You know what I mean? I'm asking you nicely, bro, come on, you know, And I beat his ass, you know what I mean? And it was a few other incidents like that. But no, I, I never, I never had those issues. Like, God is my witness, I never been harmed in any way in prison. I never got beat up in prison. I guess some of that you can't even. I don't want to sound like a tough guy. Like, don't discredit it to me, but I'm a man of respect, you know? I mean, and in prison, it's. It's about respect, you know? I mean, if you respect people that respect you, you know, I mean, disrespect people, you, you, it's the consequences, you know what I mean? But no, I never had problems though, like that.
Sean Atwood
It makes sense. How old were you the first time you went to prison?
Ronnie Bowe
12.
Sean Atwood
Geez. Hey, 12 years old, man.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah. How long were you in there in juvenile prisons? Worse. Like, I've been to the fed state. I've been to all prisons. You know what I mean? Juvenile prison. Worse than Adult prison because you get less privileges as a juvenile, you know, ironically. But yeah, it's. It was terrible. And then being that young, being taken away from your family, your mama, your grandma, your siblings, it damaged you mentally and emotionally.
Sean Atwood
Oh, for sure. Because you're growing up in that environment.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah.
Sean Atwood
Damn. How long were you in there at that age?
Ronnie Bowe
I did a couple years as a. As a juvenile. Most of the time I was in a group home, though. Like, the judge came to the conclusion that I didn't have parental guidance, so he put me in a group home. And ironically, the group home that I was in, the staff members were. One of them was a crackhead.
Sean Atwood
Damn.
Ronnie Bowe
And I was still a crack dealer. When he found out I was a crack dealer, like, I could have my way. Like, look, bro, you take this. I'm finna go have fun and do me, you know? I said, all right, dude, I ain't gonna say nothing. Go hide. You fine. You know? I mean, but, man, the. My culture pretty. Pretty screwed up, you know?
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
It's really, like, no guidance, you know what I mean? Like, and then the people who was trying to stand up, like, during the days of. I gotta keep mentioning people like Malcolm X and Dr. King during their days, there was an FBI director named J. Edgar Hoover, right? And he put in a FBI directive that said, we have to neutralize any one of these individuals who display the power to unify and electrify duress of them, meaning the population of African Americans, right? So if they see a leader rise who having a positive impact on the population, the culture, whatever, and he could guide them in the right direction, that neutralized by them meant incarcerate or assassinate. And that's what they was doing, you know, after that directive was put in, Malcolm x got assassinated, Dr. King got assassinated, Fred Hampton. People like Larry Hoover was incarcerated. Like, anybody who displayed leadership abilities who could, like, unify and electrify, the rest of the culture was either incarcerated or assassinated. And they still have. They. They still implement those directives today. You know what I'm saying?
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
And if it's discreet, you know, I mean, it shows, you know what I mean? Like, anytime somebody like me become too influential, something happened.
Sean Atwood
They shadow ban you or center you, right?
Ronnie Bowe
And I'm being shadow banned like crazy, bro. Like the last interview I did with Matthew Cox, right?
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
It did. 300,000 views in one day, right?
Sean Atwood
Damn.
Ronnie Bowe
And then the next day, it just declined, like, from out of nowhere. Like, you got to think, if anything does 300,000 views in one day, right? That Mean, it's a lot of people sharing this and engaging, right?
Sean Atwood
Yep.
Ronnie Bowe
And then it gets to the point, like, even if you look this interview up, you can't find it. You know what I'm saying? Like, you. You gotta go directly to Matthew Cox page and look at all his interviews, and then, oh, they go to interview with Ronnie Bowe right there.
Sean Atwood
I was gonna tell you that because when I was preparing for this episode, I googled your name and then podcast, and it doesn't pop up. I have to go on Matthew's page, see? So only his audience is aware of that episode.
Ronnie Bowe
I'm glad you say that because a lot of people would think, dude, just his conspiracy theory. He. He making up reasons why he. The interview didn't go viral. It did go viral. 300,000 in one day. That's viral.
Sean Atwood
But then these days, yeah, that ain't easy. There's not a lot of guests that can pull those numbers these days. Yeah, yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
Then now you can't find it unless you go to Matthew Page and dig through the interviews. Like that Shadow Bandit.
Sean Atwood
That's nuts. Even when I post these clips, I probably can't even mention your name because what they do is they censor your name, and some of them even censor with AI to your face. I don't know if you're at that level yet, but if they see your face on a video, they'll censor the views.
Ronnie Bowe
Bro, I'm so glad that you spoke on that because I've been trying to tell people that, and they act like it's just you just making up stuff, but.
Sean Atwood
Nah, I noticed stuff, man. I'm in it, too. I've been Shadow Band myself when I have uncertain guests.
Ronnie Bowe
Like, if you look at the interviews that went viral with Matthew Cox, he didn't put my name in the subject title. Right. Like, I'm gonna advise you, don't put Ronnie Bow. Don't. Please don't put Ronnie Bow in the. In the title, because they. It's not gonna go too far.
Sean Atwood
They probably got automation set up. So as soon as they see that on a video. Oh, Shadow Band, that one. Absolutely crazy, man. That's just because you're exposing the truth. That's scary.
Ronnie Bowe
Absolutely.
Sean Atwood
Yeah. That's tough, man. When did that start happening for you?
Ronnie Bowe
I initially went viral in early 2023, and I went viral on a podcast that only had 800 subscribers. Not 800,000 subscribers. 800. You know what I mean? And it did, like, a half a million in a very, very short time. And then I guess when I saw that this dude Ronnie Bo has a lot of intellectual books out that can influence the population to uprise or whatever, you know what I mean? It's like, we can't have that. I mean, any, any, anything you put Ronnie bo in on YouTube is gonna get shadow banned. And then not only that, like, I had a lot of followers on Instagram, Facebook and stuff like that when I first went viral, bro. The next day, like my right handed guy, all my pages got taken away the same day.
Sean Atwood
Damn.
Ronnie Bowe
So later I built a following on Facebook and all that again. And recently this was just like a couple months ago, my pages got taken away again. And that's the real reason why I started giving out my personal number. Because it's like, okay, I'm having impact, people trying to follow me, you know what I mean? Like, what, what else I'm gonna do? Like, like, I'm. I gotta give out my number again.
Sean Atwood
Yeah, we'll link it in the radio too.
Ronnie Bowe
414-587-1919. Call me. Like. But another thing about that, like, if you're not a real person, don't call me, please don't, like, don't waste my time. Because, like, it's this one dude, he one of them is like a lgbtq. And I don't got nothing against the LGBTQ community, but they don't like people like me, you know what I mean? Like, I stand on my manhood. And then the other dude, like, he had a history of plan funneling with kids, right?
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
These two dudes start creating videos to bash me, right? Saying bad things about me. So a lot of the people that was calling me started turning against me.
Sean Atwood
Damn.
Ronnie Bowe
And that's good. I want those type of people to turn against me because if I have a movement and y'all will go against me for something that the lowest of life would say about me, like people who playing with kids could say something bad about a standup guy like me and y'all turn against me. I don't want that type of support. So please, audience, don't call my phone if you not a real person. Like, I don't got time for that. I don't want to talk to you. You know what I mean? But if you real, you know, let's work, let's try to create some significant positive change in the world, in the community. And I'm willing to work with anybody. Like, I don't care if you got a podcast. You only got 100 subscribers. You know, I do an interview with you for free. I'm giving my books out for free. Like. Like, bro, when. When I gave out my number, I was getting a thousand to fifteen hundred calls and tastes per day crop. And, like, I'm one person. Like, I got one phone, so I was trying to. Everybody's calling about the free ebook. I'm trying to send everybody the free ebook. Like, some people, if they don't get the ebook in 10 minutes, they cussing me out. You're a scammer.
Sean Atwood
And it's like, you could automate that, by the way.
Ronnie Bowe
How?
Sean Atwood
I'll teach you. Yeah, you could set up a number where as soon as someone texts it, it sends them the ebook so you don't have to manually do it, man.
Ronnie Bowe
Thank God I met you. Because I don't want people to go against me because of, like, if you go against me and it's for a valid reason, cool, I can accept that. But don't go against me because it's a thousand people calling me and texting me, and by the time I look at your text, it's so far down the list.
Sean Atwood
Yeah, I used to have that issue because I host networking events, and at first only 20 people came, but now I have over a thousand at each one. But I used to manually text every attendee, and then it got to the point where it was taking eight hours a day to text everyone, so I had to set that shit up, man. It'll be a game changer for you. But the calls, you'll still have to do on your own, the phone calls.
Ronnie Bowe
You gonna be my best friend?
Sean Atwood
Yeah. I'll teach you the business stuff, man. As long as you provide value. That's the hard part. People can't provide value, so then they can't monetize. But it sounds like you've been through a lot and you can teach people.
Ronnie Bowe
Absolutely. You know, I'm here for, like, I'm. I'm. I'm a man of God. For real, bro. Like, I. I stand on this. Like that. That lady over there, she a very important, powerful, beautiful person. And she. She was one of the people who called the number.
Sean Atwood
Wow.
Ronnie Bowe
She didn't. She didn't get a response from me for, like, a month.
Sean Atwood
Damn.
Ronnie Bowe
I mean, like, people gotta understand, like, if I didn't respond to her, it's not that I'm ignoring people. Like, if I knew this person was reaching out to me, I'd have been, you know, text back or call. But so many people, I can't keep up with. With everybody, you know what I mean? But I don't know. I, I just, I, I got a good heart. I, I, I try to show love to everybody. People just got to be more understanding. Like, I'm, I'm really one person. And people still, from that Matthew Cox interview, they still, to this day, bro, like, they just watched it and they calling or texting, like, it just came out. Yeah, like, where the free ebook at? Crazy.
Sean Atwood
That's how I found out about you, that interview. Yeah, yeah, that one blew up, man. Yeah, we got to get you on X. That's the free speech platform, Twitter. Are you on there yet?
Ronnie Bowe
No, I'm, I'm gonna need.
Sean Atwood
I'm a. Yeah, let's get you on there, man, because you could say whatever you want on there. You won't get banned or censored.
Ronnie Bowe
One thing, one thing I want to speak about, though, is the rituals, right, in the music industry. And there's also rituals like in the streets, right? Like, they have informants. They have people who work for the government to set up other drug dealers, and they got to do rituals. Like, if you ain't set up nobody in a year, then it's like, bro, what is, what is you doing Work? Fudge.
Sean Atwood
That's crazy.
Ronnie Bowe
In the music industry, like, sometimes people really have to sacrifice a little one. And then if you do it once, you think you good, and then they want to establish that trust again and make sure you still align with the agenda. So they come back to you and say, well, you sacrificed your mom, now we want your son or your daughter. And it's like, damn, like, hearty. Sacrifice my mama, you know? I mean, now I gotta. It really go on, bro. It. It really go on. And even, Even in prison, like, I gotta really humble myself to admit this, because a lot of people won't admit this, right? But they do humiliation rituals in prison. Like, everybody don't get sexually assaulted or nothing like that. Like, in the sense that you would think, but everybody has to. When you get processed, like, they tell you to squat, right, and cough and spread your cheeks. Like, literally. That's humiliation, bro. Like, if I tell you, Sean, go over there, get naked, turn around, squat, and spread your cheeks, how would you feel about that?
Sean Atwood
I feel really vulnerable.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah, humiliated, right?
Sean Atwood
Yeah, humiliated for sure.
Ronnie Bowe
He do that to all us. I don't care if you big brother Larry Hoover. Who? Who? John Gotti. I don't care how tough you think you is. They do that to everybody.
Sean Atwood
Are you naked during that?
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah. They make you get butt naked and literally spread your cheeks and squat. If you don't do it. You go under the jail. You know what I mean?
Sean Atwood
Really? You go to ISO. Straight to ISO.
Ronnie Bowe
Yes.
Sean Atwood
Holy crap, yes.
Ronnie Bowe
And you can't call nobody. You can't do nothing. So these. These rituals go on, on all levels, like in the streets, in prison, in the industry. And when you get like in a position where everybody looking up to you, whether you a big time musician or actor or whatever, they want to make sure you in line with the agenda, because you got a majority of the population looking up to you. So if you just come out and do a Dr. King speech and all these people looking up to you, you know what I mean? And you tell them to do some of this against the agenda, then you're a threat. You know what I mean? So they. To eliminate that threat, they want to make sure that you are aligned with the agenda by certain rituals, you know what I mean? Whether it's a humiliation ritual or you sacrifice a little one, like. Like this stuff really. This stuff really go on. And people, even people who. Who did it before, sometimes, like, they won't out. And R. Kelly, for example, like, I don't want to say too much about him because I'm not the one who want to expose him, but he had to do rituals. And then he got to the point where it's like, man, it's enough. I can't keep doing this. And then, you know, it's consequences for that. Then you got people like Jay Z, right? Like, they know the influence that Jay Z had has to this day on the culture. And even like, you got people like Yo Gotti, Lil Durk, who like up and coming Jay Z's, and they look up to Jay Z because they want to reach that status, you know what I mean? And they know that I could control all these people by just controlling one. If I can control Jay Z and all these people look up to Jay Z, then it's less work. I don't have to put so much effort in controlling everybody. As long as I control Jay Z and I can make him a billionaire and I can make sure he's aligned with the most desired woman in the culture then, you know.
Sean Atwood
Yeah, that's. That seemed pretty planned out, right? That relationship.
Ronnie Bowe
Beyonce. Yeah, yeah. No, they. They tried it initially with Aaliyah, but Aaliyah was more so attracted to Dame Dash, you know what I mean? And she wasn't trying to be with the agenda. And the agenda, it was a lot of money behind the agenda. And not just that, like, the influence, like when they had Aaliyah working under R. Kelly, right? Her album was called Age Ain't Nothing But a Number. And she was like 14 or 15. And then they do this publicity stunt to where they put out the R. Kelly married Aaliyah, right? And this is my truth, this is coming from my conversations with R. Kelly. Like, not what nobody else got to say in the media or none of that. So according to R. Kelly, it was a publicity stunt, he never married her, or none of that. But it was a agenda, you know what I mean? Like, they wanted the 14 year olds to feel like it's okay to have sex with older men and to act grown. And that destabilizes the household, you know what I mean? Like, when you a kid and you having kids, you can't really raise a kid properly, you know what I mean? You not even fully developed mentally yet. So how you gonna raise a child and develop them the right way, you know? I mean, like the. The agenda is well thought out and planned, bro. And. And the, the strategies that they use are very effective. And it takes a wise person to be able to see through what they trying to do.
Sean Atwood
Yeah, yeah, I've heard of those rituals, man. You see the naked one where like people go naked to the award shows? No, but you haven't seen that one. I think it was the Rock. You showed up naked.
Ronnie Bowe
No, I recently saw at the Grammys Kanye made his wife.
Sean Atwood
I saw that.
Ronnie Bowe
Get naked.
Sean Atwood
That was it. You never know what the media, man, they try to paint him in such a bad light.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah, the. The streets the same way, bro. Like some of. Some of these stuff is. Some of these things that I speak about will seem very outrageous, but because I didn't want to work for the government to be an informant and set up other people, like, my integrity wouldn't let me do that. Yeah, so, you know, I was framed in a federal indictment that I really didn't do. My brother was killed by police officers, you know what I mean? Which I can't prove, but in a way I can prove. And they eventually gonna have to address that because see how they work? Like if they got you as an informant, right? Like they don't just got you out here setting people up, but they could tell you to go kill somebody and they gonna let you get away with it. And you know, you could do that.
Sean Atwood
Damn.
Ronnie Bowe
That's what they did with my brother. And not just that. My nephew, who I raised, he locked up for a murder right now that he didn't do. And the only evidence they had was from an informant that said he committed this murder, you know? And they do. They. They do. They doing all this stuff to try to, like, just destroy me mentally and emotionally, you know what I mean? So I can't do what I'm doing, you know what I mean? All because I wouldn't work for the government, you know what I mean? And it's crazy. Like, I put out a book 12 years ago called the Holy Trap Scriptures, right? The state of Wisconsin, you know, I'm from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They banned the book and the whole state of Wisconsin.
Sean Atwood
Holy crap. I didn't know you could do that.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah, like, they go to the extremes when they can control you and align you with the agenda now. No, no, tell them what they do, bro.
Sean Atwood
That's nuts. I wonder how many informants they have. You think it's a lot?
Ronnie Bowe
That's. That's. That's another reason why I won't go back to selling drugs. Because the majority of these dudes out here is either informants or if they get in a real tough situation, they will be coming.
Sean Atwood
Oh, yeah. Especially at the level you are at.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah. You know, they don't have integrity, bro. They not strong mentally. If they tell you, look, if you don't tell on Ronnie, Bo, you gonna get life or stuff like that, you never gonna see your girlfriend again. These dudes can't handle that, mentally or emotionally. And they gonna fold, you know? I mean, like, it's only a few of us who not gonna fall.
Sean Atwood
Yeah. Is that how they got you? Informants?
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah, like, people close to me.
Sean Atwood
Damn, that smells tough.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah, people. People real close to me. And then farmers even lied. And I, I. Even if you look at my case in the Eastern District of Wisconsin, you can look it up on CCAP. Case number 17cv 1192, right? I sued the DEA before they indicted me.
Sean Atwood
Really?
Ronnie Bowe
And this DEA agent was discovered as a racist. And he was discovered as somebody who had framed other people in cases, not just me, you know what I mean? And my indictment was like malicious prosecution. Like, you indict me because I sued you and because I won't work for you, you know what I mean? And now I'm caught up in all this. My freedom gone for. For a minute, I was on the run. Couldn't go see my son when I wanted to see him. Now I'm locked up. My. My son hurt cause his dad ain't around. I really didn't commit this crime, you know what I mean? And y'all, y'all did this because I wouldn't work for y'all. And they. They go to the extreme, bro. And that's just the street. So the music industry, you know, music is a lot more influential. So just imagine what they do in that industry.
Sean Atwood
I mean, you're starting to see it. Justin Bieber's looking crazy these days, right? He looks like he's mentally distraught over something.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah. And it's probably because of what everybody know he did with Diddy and that, you know, he was a young man. Like, man, Lord have mercy on that young man's mind and his heart. Because, like, he was taken advantage of, bro. And they use people like Diddy and let them do anything to anybody until you fall out of line and start thinking you bigger than the people who put you in position. Like, Diddy did some bad things to not just Justin Bieber, not just Usher, but a lot of people in. He shot a lady in the face, who I see is as my sister. But even. Even with that back to the Sean Atwood thing, right? Like Sean at Wood, most of my interviews, he wanted me to talk bad about R. Kelly, Jay Z, Diddy, Right?
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
And okay, yeah, I had some bad things to say about Jay Z. Even. Even Diddy. I didn't speak because I don't know much about Diddy. You know what I mean? But it's like you want me to. You want all my interviews to be directed towards tearing down other black men, right? And then I found out that Sean Atwood was part of a white supremacist organization. Right?
Sean Atwood
Really?
Ronnie Bowe
He admitted that in an interview. Right.
Sean Atwood
Wow.
Ronnie Bowe
And I know how this go on, the fears, right? Like when. When. When you go to the feds, like me, I was with the GD's, right? I grew up GD. So that was no. The right thing to do. You know what I mean? Sean Atwood, he said he tried to make it seem like he had to join him. You didn't have to join them. And then even when you join them, like you locked up for years around people who. Expressing all this hatred towards a certain group of people and you want to get out and act like that is not weighing on your mind. You know what I mean? So I tested Sean Atwood when I was trying to resolve things, and I tried to do something positive for the black community. You know, I tried to push peace. And I told him during a live interview, like, look, bro, I don't want to talk about Jay Z or Diddy or none of them no more. Like, yeah, they creeps or whatever, you know what I mean? But I said, Enough about them. Like, I don't. You not finna. You're not finna dictate my content and focus it on that when I got a lot of positive things to talk about. Yeah, let's talk about some positive things, you know what I'm saying? That we could do in the black community and they won with that, you know what I mean?
Sean Atwood
Well, from his point of view, he probably gets way less views, you know?
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah. And Sean, I would. He's suffering right now. You gotta look at his views lately.
Sean Atwood
Yeah, yeah. You seem to hold a grudge on people you don't mess with.
Ronnie Bowe
No, it's not just that, but they, they tried to belittle me and I. I'll treat everybody with respect. I don't care how great, big or none of that. Like, I'm gonna treat everybody. I'm gonna treat the person you consider, the bum on the street begging for change, with the same love and respect that I treat Donald Trump, you know what I mean? And that's just me, you know what I mean? But when I see a person trying to belittle me, when I know the integrity and the love I got in my heart, then I gotta make an example and stand up for the little guys and show that you're not gonna be able to treat everybody that you see as a little guy like a little guy, because now it's like, you know, I got them by the balls, you know what I mean? Like this, this channel that you work so long to establish is in jeopardy.
Sean Atwood
Damn.
Ronnie Bowe
At any minute, any minute, like, I got an email list of like 10,000 people, right? If I email all them people and say, report Sean Atwood channel, his channel will be taken down instantly within days, you know what I mean? Yeah, but I ain't gonna do that yet, man. Know what I mean? Yeah, no, I ain't gonna do that yet, man. If he, if he, if he come correct and he realized that, you know, that, that he got himself in. In a situation with a. With a person he underestimated and he, you know, humble himself and come correct, then, you know, I'll let him keep his channel.
Sean Atwood
I might have to set up that boxing pay per view, man. You and who.
Ronnie Bowe
Did you see the. Did you see the text message I sent him when I said. I said apologize.
Sean Atwood
No, I didn't see that. What, you told him to apologize to.
Ronnie Bowe
You, Sent it to you.
Sean Atwood
So apologies mean a lot to you.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah, go to your WhatsApp, cuz that phone did. It's probably in one of them just now.
Sean Atwood
Yeah, it's probably older. But you told me to apologize, though.
Ronnie Bowe
We. We could say that for another time. But he instantly went on his page and. And apologized and said, I'm sorry, Ronnie. Bo. But if you rewind that to how arrogant they was and how they was trying to belittle me, you will see that it was something that happened in between that to make them realize, like, let's stop playing with this dude. He probably not as small as we would like to believe. Shout out to Sean Atwood. Man, just get it together, bro. Let you keep your page.
Sean Atwood
I got a cheer for my fellow Sean. We. Same name, man.
Ronnie Bowe
No, you are spelled better.
Sean Atwood
Let's go. S E A N. That's the superior way to spell it.
Ronnie Bowe
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta. Way better soul, way better personality, man. Shot at wood. He still, you know, he was. He was with those white supremacists so long, he still think that way. Like, you can't be a part of an organization for years and then get out and not.
Sean Atwood
Yeah, that just doesn't leave you overnight, Right?
Ronnie Bowe
No. Yeah.
Sean Atwood
Makes sense, man. Anything else you got?
Ronnie Bowe
Well, yeah, I gotta.
Sean Atwood
You got a book coming out soon.
Ronnie Bowe
I got a lot of books out. They gotta just look up Ronnie. Bo. But I wanna. My sister. My dear sister, Jaguar, right? Been saying I owe her an apology, right? And she was supposed to come here. Did she respond? What'd she say?
Sean Atwood
We get to a party tomorrow.
Ronnie Bowe
I'mma let you have that tomorrow. I'm probably going to be back in Milwaukee. But she was supposed to be here today. But my dear sister, one, I want to congratulate her for the. The award that she won, the Freedom Award that she got at Mar a Lago, you know, I didn't know that.
Sean Atwood
Congrats.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah, congratulations to her for that. But she said I owe her an apology, and I really didn't think that I owe her an apology. But since she stated it publicly, I'mma address it publicly. But I'mma say, jag, I love you. This conflict ain't for us. It's not for us. And with the influence that you have and the influence that I have, I think that it's best for us to collaborate. You are a very talented woman outside of the public speaking, and I'm a. A very talented guy. And I think we should collaborate on the album. And if we do that, we can go on tour. And during the tour, while we performing our music, we could do our public speaking and spread positive messages, you know, to the community, if not just nationally, but probably internationally. You know what I mean? Because we got. We both got fans in London. I don't know if you saw some of the messages I sent you, but I had people from the uk, London, calling the police, saying, make sure Ronnie Bow is protected. You know, provide him with police escort services, you know, suggested, you know, because I get real. Attempts, assassination attempts on my life, you know, it's no telling. But, Jack, I'm not finna do this with you. I. I love you, sis. And I think you should really consider this proposition.
Sean Atwood
I love that, man.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah. And I hope she. She said she'll come tomorrow. That's for you, Sean. Make sure. I'm probably gonna leave, but I'm. I'm. I'm gonna make sure.
Sean Atwood
Oh, she moved her flight back. That's a good girlfriend, man. We'll do a part two tomorrow with her.
Ronnie Bowe
Yeah, that.
Sean Atwood
I hope she accepts your apology, man. I don't know what the beef is, but sounds like you really value her relationship.
Ronnie Bowe
No, I'm not apologizing, though. I love, but I don't know what to apologize about. I mean, I'm just saying.
Sean Atwood
So she's mad at you right now?
Ronnie Bowe
It seemed. I don't know. She said publicly. And JAG got both. She got two of my numbers, right?
Sean Atwood
Yeah.
Ronnie Bowe
So she could have just called her text and said, you owe me an apology. But being that she said it publicly, then I have to address it publicly.
Sean Atwood
Maybe she got asked on the spot about you and she did not respond. You know, D. Who knows? But it sounds like you two go back and you got a really tight relationship, D. It's cool, dude. Anything else you want to close off with? We'll do another part tomorrow.
Ronnie Bowe

Digital Social Hour: Episode Summary
Title: The Hidden Power Moves in Today’s Media Wars | Ronnie Bo DSH#1248
Host: Sean Kelly
Guest: Ronnie Bowe
Release Date: March 19, 2025
In this gripping episode of Digital Social Hour, host Sean Kelly engages in a candid and intense conversation with Ronnie Bowe from Milwaukee. The discussion delves deep into the intricate dynamics of media manipulation, censorship, and the covert power structures influencing today’s cultural and entertainment industries. Ronnie Bowe, a controversial figure with a tumultuous past, shares his experiences, insights, and theories on how media wars are waged behind the scenes to control narratives and suppress truth.
The episode opens with Ronnie addressing a recent fallout with Sean Atwood, a fellow podcaster. Ronnie expresses his frustration over Sean’s staff allegedly undermining his work.
Ronnie recounts how a member of Sean’s team, Shane, improperly solicited donations during his first interview without his consent, leading to tensions.
This incident escalated when another staff member, Ron Swanson, responded disrespectfully in a group chat, pushing Ronnie to confront the issue, which ultimately spiraled into a personal beef.
Ronnie discusses how influential figures and media platforms suppress content that challenges established narratives. He draws parallels between his experiences and broader media strategies used to control public perception.
He emphasizes the role of the media in shaping opinions and maintaining control by making "the innocent look guilty and the guilty look innocent."
A significant portion of the conversation focuses on the exploitative nature of music industry contracts. Ronnie shares his knowledge about how major labels deceive artists through misleading contract terms.
He explains how advances are structured as loans, with artists struggling to recoup even minimal expenditures, effectively trapping them in debt and limiting their financial growth.
Ronnie delves into the psychological impact of media and music on individuals, particularly within the African American community. He links repetitive violent and derogatory music to increased criminal behavior and societal issues.
He further explores conspiracy theories involving elite control over influential figures, suggesting that powerful individuals like Jay Z and Kanye West are manipulated to maintain societal control.
Ronnie shares his harrowing experiences with the law, including his incarceration alongside R. Kelly and subsequent legal battles against the DEA. He claims that his refusal to collaborate with government informants led to false indictments and personal losses.
He recounts the emotional and mental toll of growing up in the prison system from the age of 12, highlighting the lack of guidance and the damaging environment that shaped his early years.
The discussion intensifies as Ronnie talks about the threats he faces due to his influence and refusal to comply with oppressive systems. He describes assassination attempts and shadow banning as methods used to silence dissent.
He details how his content is systematically censored, preventing him from reaching a broader audience, and attributes this to his exposure of hidden truths about powerful entities.
Towards the end of the episode, Ronnie urges listeners to seek the truth and support independent voices that challenge mainstream media narratives. He discusses his efforts to distribute knowledge freely and his commitment to building generational wealth within his community.
He also touches on personal relationships, seeking reconciliation and collaboration with his sister, Jaguar Wright, to amplify positive messages and counteract negative influences.
This episode of Digital Social Hour provides a raw and unfiltered look into the alleged hidden mechanisms of media control and the struggles of individuals like Ronnie Bowe who challenge the status quo. Through his personal narratives and contentious viewpoints, Ronnie invites listeners to question mainstream narratives and seek out alternative truths. Whether agreeing or disagreeing with his perspectives, the conversation undeniably sheds light on the complex interplay between media, power, and individual agency in today’s society.
