The thoughts, views, and opinions on the flow show, no filter. Are for educational and entertainment purposes only. I am not a professional. I am just good. Ah, Happy hump day. It's Wednesday, guys. Got a great show for you, as always. Today we are halfway through the week. We got some major Diddy news. Is somebody telling y'all? Did we just get proof of one of the major people who have flipped on Diddy? We're going to talk about that. It's crazy, but it's. Again, I hate to always say I called it out, but I mean, that's what I do. That's what I'm known for. I mean, I love reading into stories and cases and being one of the first people to know what the hell is about to go on. And this particular person in this whole situation of them possibly snitching on Diddy or flipping on Diddy, whatever you want to call it. This was something that I predicted and I talked about, if you follow me on social media. I said that this was going to come out a long. What did I say this? Probably months and months ago, way before Diddy was even charged officially. I said that this. This was going to happen with this guy coming out. So we're going to talk about that. And then we also have to talk about the CEO, alleged shooter, CE Luigi Maggione. They have charged him, but they put some extra shit on it because of, I believe, because the person who was shot was an elite or was a rich or wealthy person. So that, you know, they have different rules. And I'm going to that because we need to talk about that, and I need to expose how they got different laws for different classes of people, and I don't like it. But first, before we even get into any of that, yesterday, if you were watching. I'm watching. If you were listening to the podcast yesterday, you know, halfway through the podcast, my mom called me, and I know she never, ever calls me when I'm doing content and all of that. So I just picked up the phone while I was in the middle of the podcast. So you heard me and my cut. She was letting me know that my cousin was in a car accident. And I didn't get any details at that time. I told her I was recording and I would call her. And so I wanted to give you guys, since I did it right, took the call in front of y'all, I don't want to leave y'all. Y'all in the dark. We like a family, right? We meet together every morning. We discuss. So my cousin let Me just tell you he's. He's. He's alive and, And. And do. He's in the hospital and he's doing well. But what he did suffer, a fractured leg, I believe my mother said, and some soreness, and it was still early, so it might be some other ailments or whatever, but for the most part, he's. He's gonna make it because it was a. From what I'm being told, it was a dangerous accident that he could possibly not even be here anymore behind it. What happened was someone was right. Driving, riding, driving on a. Coming the wrong way on a. I believe it was a wrong way on a. One way or just the wrong way on the. On the side of the street. I'm not clear. But long story short, they can't. They came the wrong way or the one way, so they were at fault and hit him. And from what I'm saying, the people who saw the car, it just so happens some of our family members happened to drive past and see the car, see my cousin's car, but didn't know that was him. And then one of them knew that was him and went and checked it out, but they said the whole front end of the car was like, completely smashed, damn near gone. So. I appreciate the prayers from you guys. Always helps when you know you got people that got your back. And he's a great guy and takes good care of his. If his children and everything. Just one of those people in the family that. That really, he really appreciates and it really appreciates and helps out his family and love is a very loving guy. So let's all continue to keep him in his. In our prayers and wish him a full, full, full, full recovery. That's my little cousin. I'm pretty much the oldest out of all of us, y'all, so these are all my little cousins. So, you know, it hurts my heart. But he's fine and that's a blessing. And we're gonna. We're not gonna be sad one bit about it because he could not be here. He is here. We love him to death, and that's about it. Appreciate y'all, but I said, want to let y'all know I didn't want to have that crazy thing happen and did not update y'all. What the hell going on? So let's get into it, family. Cause y'all my family now. We on episode, I think 46. Do y'all realize we were just trying to name a podcast y'all? I was just trying to ask y'all we was on social media telling you what channel should the name be. And Here we are 46 episodes later with the top. And we are in the top 10%, approaching top 5% of all podcast downloads and all of that. So shout out to y'all for that, because I wasn't even. Never even gonna do a podcast. I only did it because of y'all. That's why I love y'all so much. And I'm usually hardheaded and stubborn, but y'all have helped me along the way, like with ideas of doing this and doing that, and y'all haven't been wrong yet. I love podcasting now, and I never would have thought I would so appreciate y'all. But y'all know what we do in the podcast? The Flow show. No filter. We, we, we, we. We breaked it down. And. And this is the podcast where we uncover truths behind all of the headlines. Y'all know me. I'm your host, Flo. Flo. Flo. Daddy Flo. On all social media. FL O D A D D Y Flo always holla at me. But today, we are gonna dive deep into the story with. That's been super controversial. So imagine this, y'all. We all have. Have children, or we all have had hopes and dreams and been athletes and did sip different things ourselves. We. We. We've done all of that. So now imagine this. We got a young, promising athlete with a bright future full of potential. And then that bright young athlete with all that potential becomes embroiled in a scandal involving one of the biggest names in entertainment. That name is Sean Diddy Combs, AKA Mohawk Diddy, AKA the Titler. Drugs, firearms, secret parties, and a massive federal case. This ain't just a tabloid headline, y'all. This is real life drama we talking about. Not today, as always, we gonna peel back those layers. We're gonna peel back the layers to this story. And look at the rise and fall of Brendan Paul. He was a former Syracuse University basketball player accused of being Diddy's alleged drug mule. How did he get here? Why were the charges against him suddenly dropped? And what does this mean for the man once known as the king of bad boy records? This is the guy that I told everybody at the very beginning of all this. And. And it's been so much. I don't remember the exact dates, but let's say early this year, when. Earlier this year, when. When. When all this was first started brewing. This was after the Cassie incident. After the. I mean, after Cassie got paid. Not the incident that was exposed but after Cassie got paid from Diddy, then they start. You know, you could tell that the case was starting to build, right? And so one of the first major things to happen in this case was Brendan Paul being stopped at the Miami Airport for possible drug transport or just drugs in general. Authorities pulled up on them, and he basically caught a drug charge at the Miami airport. When this happened, I said, that guy go, that guy gonna flip on Diddy. He's gonna flip on Diddy. And that's gonna be one of the major, major, major, major breaks in the case. And he's gonna flip on Diddy. And that's exactly what appears to be happening. And let's break that down, because it's crazy. He was the main. Main assistant, y'all. So y'all know he knew everything. He knew the codes. He knew the security codes. He knew where the rugs at. He knew where the freaking baby oil was kept. He probably was the person hauling it in and putting people together to store the baby oil. You know, you got to do whatever the boss says. Diddy was his boss. And if you got a shady boss, be prepared to do shady things. But let's get into who is Brandon Paul? Because I think you're gonna be surprised, because ain't nobody. You know, nobody really. They just post shit. But they don't, like, dive into these stories like your boy Flo. You are gonna know who Brendan Paul is. You are gonna know more. I always make sure that my. My people that's following me and listening to me, I make sure y'all are the top Diddy authorities on the case. For your. For your co workers or for your family or for your group of friends. Everybody's talking about this case. But because y'all follow me, y'all gonna know more than them. And they gonna be like, damn, how you know that? Oh. Cause my boy Flo. Anyway, we gonna dive into who was Brendan Paul. Why? Cause nobody else is. They don't even know. They not going into that. They're not going into this type of detail. So let's get started. The name Brendan Paul is a name that you not gonna recognize. You. You didn't recognize until maybe this case. Unless you are one of the few people that follow college basketball. Oh, yeah, this was. This dude is a. This dude is known in the college basketball world. He had the world at the tip of his hands, all of that. At just 25 years old, Brendan Paul had a promising career ahead of him. A former Syracuse University star athlete, his trajectory seemed straightforward. He worked hard. He was Talented. And he was in the pursuit of a professional basketball career. But that all changed. And when did it change? March 25, 2024. Like I said, earlier this year, Paul was arrested at Miami Locker Executive Airport after authorities found narcotics in his luggage. Suspected cocaine, marijuana, candy, and a connection to one of the most powerful names in music, Sean Diddy Combs. Now, Paul was hit with felony charges, but not only that, this is where the story takes a turn. Now, despite the gravity of these charges, his case was dismissed only a few days ago after he completed what they call a pretrial diversion program. But I call that. I think that pretrial diversion program in this case is just another. Another name for. He told everything we needed to here. He told him everything. They sat him down with a little McDonald's and a cigarette and he spilled all of the beans. But this is all. But, but let's go back to this diversion program. This is all according to his lawyer, Brian Bieber. And now the case is closed. But how did this young athlete go from slam dunkin to felony drug charges? Never saw it coming. Okay, so now let's look at the big picture. Brendan's Paul's arrest wasn't an isolated incident at all. It was just a small piece of a much larger puzzle. And this puzzle revolves around none other than Diddy. Diddy, once a symbol of success in the entertainment industry, is now facing multiple allegations that paint a picture of a very different man. In September, authorities raided his properties in Los Angeles and Miami, uncovering a web of alleged criminal activity. Combs, now in custody, faces charges of racketeering, conspiracy. Pay attention to that word, conspiracy, y'all. Racketeering, conspiracy and sex trafficking. And according to a civil lawsuit filed by record producer Rodney Lil Rod Jones, which is another major piece of this puzzle. If you remember the lawsuit Rod Jones dropped, it detailed a lot of that we didn't know that went on in the freak offs and the. He even talked about Cuba Gooden Jr. Played with his balls and he want to Sue Cuba Gooden Jr. He told a lot. Anyway, according to his lawsuit, Paul wasn't just caught in the crossfire. He was allegedly a key player in Diddy's operation. So think about that. This is another person saying, another person being, let's say an outsider of the. Of the crew is another person saying that Brendan Paul knew everything. Basically, he said he was the key to the operation. Now if he's the key to the operation and he's working against Diddy, I don't got to tell you that's Bad news for Diddy. So also, the lawsuit that Rod Rodney Jones dropped, but I won't say dropped, that he filed, describes Paul as the mule. Drug mule. Someone who transported and distributed illegal substances for combs, cocaine, ecstasy, ghb, which people think the GHB is. What's in the baby oil or what not in it, but that's what the baby oil is. We Ketamine, mushrooms. The list goes on and on. I mean, I never heard. So I. Some. I didn't even know. So many drugs out that people were doing, y'all. That's how out of the loop I am. It don't stop there, though. Paul was allegedly tasked with carrying a firearm for combs and even coordinating payments for guess what, sex workers. He was in the middle of all the shit, allegedly. How does someone like Brendan Paul get involved in something this horrific, something this dark? I mean, this guy was a collegiate basketball player with a promising future. Is it about loyalty, money, or just coercion? Let's explore these questions. Stay with me, y'all, on this one. Now. Now, I have to tell you guys, he had to get a deal. But as much as always, I think he got caught up in Diddy. You know, the money, the fame. You look at what he probably saw a bright future with working with Diddy and got caught up in this mess. So his pro. His story may seem shocking, and I'm sure his parents are even more shocked, but it's not entirely unique to only him. Time and time again, we see young, impressionable, young, impressionable people pulled into the orbit of powerful figures. And often it results in devastating consequences. So let's break it down some more. Paul was a college athlete with a bright future, but he wasn't on course to become a millionaire, and he knew he needed to make some money. And when someone like Diddy, a global icon worth millions, enter your life, it's easy to get swept into the glitz and glamor, the lavish parties, luxury travel, endless connections. It's a dream come true, right? And I've been there, y'all. A lot of y'all know I was signed and had a record deal, did a partnership with Floyd Mayweather, the boxer, back in. This was in, oh, 2004, 2005. I was just a kid from Cleveland doing my own thing, and I got scooped and signed and brought out to Vegas and by Floyd. And it was green light gold. From then on, we were traveling the world. Clubs after clubs after clubs, all night long. It was something else. It was like two years, I would say two Years straight on my life, I don't even remember some of the shit we did because it was just so fast paced. So I could relate to what Brandon got swooped into. So it's not always a dream. It sounds like a dream come true, but it's a lot that come with that. And as the lawsuit reveals, there's a darker side to that dream. Brendan Paul wasn't just tagging along for the ride, y'all. If the allegations made are true, he was actively participating in a criminal enterprise. Was it his choice or was he forced? Could he have said no to someone as powerful as Diddy? And what role does the entertainment industry play in enabling this. Enabling this kind of behavior? Now, I'm gonna say right there, that's the difference between me and a lot of people. You see how we are asking the question, could he have said no to someone as powerful as Diddy? My answer is yes, because guess what? I said no to Floyd Mayweather. He was just as powerful as Diddy, maybe even more powerful. He was a billionaire or damn near there then, and we were cool. And even to this day, I don't have bad words to say about Floyd Mayweather. But there are truths. There are. There were things that happened that I didn't like or didn't agree with. And I did stand and stand 10 toes and tell him no to his face about a lot of different things that other people wouldn't have. So I am one who has said no to powerful billionaires. So in my case and from my perspective, you can easily say no, but that ain't. You know, everybody ain't the same, so I'm not gonna speak for everybody. Alleged. Apparently, Brendan Paul didn't say no, and it. And it led to him being wrapped up in this mess. Now, it's important to note that Diddy has pledged, has pled not guilty to the criminal charges against him. His legal team is fighting hard to clear his name. But the allegations, as y'all know, are piling up week by week. Meanwhile, Brandon Paul's dismissal of charges is raising eyebrows. Yes, he completed a pretrial diversion program, but many are wondering, was this justice? Or was this just a strategic move to focus on taking down the bigger fish, Sean Diddy Combs? And of course it was. Of course it is. There's no doubt in my mind, y'all, that Brendan Paul is working. There's no doubt. Of course he is. Of course he has flipped on Diddy. He is telling it all. He is set to testify when this trial starts May 5, Cinco de Mayo, 2025. Prosecutors initially pursued only the cocaine charges against Paul as part of a plea deal. So that is when he went ahead and entered the diversion program, which is standard option for first time offenders. But given the severity of the allegations against Diddy, was that just an attempt to turn Paul into a cooperative witness? Of course it was. And then there's the civil lawsuit from Rodney Lil Rod Jones affidavit. An affidavit is filed with details about what he claims were Diddy's secret freak off parties and Brendan Paul's role in these alleged criminal activities. Oh, it's salacious, it's shocking, and it raises serious fucking questions about the culture of secrecy and exploitation in the entertainment industry. So what happens next? Where do we go from here? Well, for Brendan Paul, his case is closed for now. And Diddy's battle is just beginning. Brendan Paul will be singing like Elvis Presley in the 1960s. He gonna tell it all. This story. With a trial set for May, if these allegations are proven true, it could mark one of the biggest falls from grace in entertainment history. But beyond the headlines, beyond the story, this is a wake up call. This wake up call forces us to confront uncomfortable truths about power, privilege and, and the exploitation that often goes unnoticed. Oh, but they don't go unnoticed here. Not the Flow show, no filter. You know, this world tends to ignore this, this, this, this, this shit, the power and the privilege. Not here. We are not going to ignore it. I never ignored it in the pursuit of fame and Fortune as a 20 year old and I ain't ignoring it now. But what y'all think? Was Brendan Paul a willing participant or a pawn in a much large larger game? Is justice being served or is this just the tip of the iceberg? And there's way more to that we need to look into. Do y'all think he working or flipping or do y'all think y'all think he not telling? Let me know in the, in the, in the, in the fan mail. I appreciate, you know, I read all of my messages, but I want to know what y'all thoughts on that is. And if you want a shout out, as always, send me a message in the fan mail or send me a message on any of my social medias. Let me know what your name is, where you from, what you're normally doing when you listening to the Flow show no filter. And I got you, but we gotta watch these elite, y'all. Like, I'm serious. Like, like, like, like, when I say watch, I mean watch. Just look at how how, how it's so, how the rules are so different. If you have money, if you have fame, power, or this world treats you much, much better. Oh, the rules are very different for you. But when you're just a common, common person working every day, check to check, you know, doing what you the best you can for your family, this society tends to treat you like shit. I couldn't think of a better way to say it. So let's just. That just, you know, that's why I say no filter it. And it's and, and, and it, and then it prove, they prove it to us day after day after day. Now what the hell am I renting? You probably like what the hell are you ranting about now, Flo? I'm talking about this CEO shooter allegedly with Luigi Maggioni. Now he was just charged. It was a murder. They charged with murder. But they put some extra on that shit, y'all, and I don't like it. They have added terrorism to his charges. I'm like, I understood a murder charge, allegedly. He gotta fight it. But how is it terrorism? Oh, it's terrorism because it was a CEO. It's terrorism because the person who was shot and killed is wealthy, they're powerful. This country treats that totally different. If Luigi would have shot and killed the common regular 40, $50,000 a year making person, oh wouldn't have been no manhunt, it wouldn't have been no global wide man hunt. It wouldn't have been no terrorism extra charges. No, it had been a simple murder charge that depending on who the person was killed, would they even care to find out who the did it? And so once I saw that, I had to dive into it because anytime I see favoritism, I'm putting that out there. So dive into that situation and y'all tell me what y'all think about it because I don't like that. And like I said, when they throw terrorism in there, all they saying is hey, we adding extra when you, when you harm one of the elites. And so on December 4, the Something Crazy happened. Something crazy happened where makes me want to challenge the narratives of the power and the privileged and the justice system. And I got it. And then on December 4th is something that once after, after this happened, this case exposed the double standards that were that I'm talking about and how justice is applied in America is skewed one way or the other. And on December 4, 2024, Luigi Maggione shot and killed Brian Thompson, the CEO of United Healthcare, outside of Hilton Hotel Manhattan, allegedly But it was a shocking act of violence. But what happened next is what raises even bigger questions. Now the Manhattan District Attorney branded Luigi a terrorist. A terrorist y'all. Not just a murderer, a freaking terrorist. Why? Like I said, because that victim wasn't just anybody. That victim was Brian Thompson. The big old wealthy, powerful United health care executive who shit didn't stink and who denied 32% of everybody who tried to get money for their insurance claim or to get insurance or get to get much needed health care taken care of. Oh, he denied 32% of them. And that. And because this man life was taken, that made all the difference in the world. Because his, because he's a big time CEO, the rules changed. And so I had to examine, examine this case through my flow lens. What the hell does this say about our justice system? That someone who kills a CEO is labeled a terrorist. But countless other murders of less privileged victims don't warrant the same outrage or legal response. Guys, put your thinking caps on and let's break this shit down. It's eye opening conversation about how the privilege get treated and how the rest of us get treated. So let's start with the facts, y'all. Most of y'all should know them. But for context we need to get make sure they all out there. On the morning of December 4th, 26 year old Ivy League graduate allegedly ambushed and shot Brian Thompson outside the Hilton Hotel. Thompson was in town for a United Healthcare investors meeting. Luigi didn't just flee the scene, he left. He left a trail. And that trail led to him being caught six days later at a Mickey D's aka McDonald's. This was in Altoona, Pennsylvania. He was carrying a ghost gun or a 3D printed handgun, fake IDs and a handwritten manifesto. The manifesto criticized corporate greed and the healthcare industry in general. And the public agrees with him in that manifesto and that they agree that the health care system is broken. And I agree. Prosecutors claim my magiani's actions were meant to intimidate or cause the public. Labeling it an act of terrorism. Now that charge upgraded his case to first degree murder carrying the harshest penalties New York offers. What is that penalty? Life without parole. But here is the real question. This is the question I'm asking you. And this is the question we need to be asking them. And you know who them is. Would Luigi be facing terrorism charges if his victim hadn't been some healthy, some wealthy big shot CEO? Imagine if the victim had been a store clerk or a taxi driver or Home Depot cashier. Any of the regular Jobs that we all bust our ass to take care of ourselves and our families. What if it was one of them? What if it was one of us? Yet would anybody be throwing around the words terrorism? Somehow when the elites are involved, the justice system shifts into overdrive. What makes a murder terrorism? Well, in New York, first degree murder requires an aggravated factor. Terrorism is one of those factors. So let's unpack what that actually means. So according this is according to the prosecution, Luigi's actions were intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population and to affect the conduct of a unit of government by murder. But does that argument hold water? I don't know. Let's be honest. This isn't the kind of terrorism most of us think about. Luigi didn't target a mass crowd or a government official. His actions, while horrific, if this was him, his actions were clearly aimed at one individual. Brian Thompson, the charge. And because of that. Think about this. Because of that, the charge of terrorism seems like a stretch, kind of far fetched unless you consider the victim's status. Brian Thompson wasn't just any man. He was, like I said, the big shot CEO. All earned money, all the power. One of the largest health insurance companies in America. The highest. But that's when we say one of the largest health insurance companies in America. Let's not forget, also with the Highest denial rate, 32%. Compare that with Kaiser Permanente at 7%. That is where all the animosity is coming from. But that aside, the reason that this case is being treated differently is because he's a CEO and a CEO was murdered. The legal system is sending us a message. And this is the message. Harm someone with power and wealth and we'll throw the book at you. Harm someone without it and you'll get the usual. You might get caught, you might not. We might. You might get a manhunt, you might not. Who knows? But when it's somebody who's an elite and powerful, oh you know, what the hell going to happen? And I call that the double standards of justice. We all know what double standards are. I don't need to explain that. And this right here is a double standard. This case lays bare the glaring double standards in how our society values lives. Think about the countless murders in this country, especially of marginalized people. Think about how many of those murderers don't even, never even see the light of day. Take for example the epidemic of violence in underprivileged neighborhoods, urban neighborhoods. The hood, where a lot of us come from, where I come from, where I. Where I've been at where we've worked hard to make it out of those cases. Even though victims are shot and killed daily, those cases rarely make national headlines. Prosecutors, prosecutor, prosecutors, they don't rush to add terrorism charges, none of that shit. And often these cases go unsolved, they become cold cases. So what's the difference here? Well, obviously it's not just about law. It's about power. And Brian Thompson represented the elite, the elite class, the 2 percenters. He was a CEO, the head of a company that controls access to health care for millions. Denying 32% of those millions. His death wasn't just a tragedy, it was an affront to a system that protects the powerful. And at all costs, at all costs, the elites will go. As you can see, they will flip the whole fucking world upside down when something happens to the rich. And let's be clear, no one is condoning violence. No one should be. Everybody, you know my saying, Everybody keep their fucking hands to themselves. That's what I believe. So I'm not justifying no violence. I'm not justifying Brian Thompson being killed. Of course not. No one should die. He is a father to somebody. I always take it down to the kids. I still, no matter what, he is a father. They are. There are children that don't have a father now because of this. So it's serious. But, but why do we only see this level of outrage and overcharging and all this extra shit when the victim is someone like Thompson? That is my problem. Where's the terrorism label when a poor black teenager is gunned down in the streets? Where's the life without parole sentence for someone who kills a working class single mother? We see it every day. We see it every day. A person killed. And if that person ain't powerful or if that person ain't got money, to hell with the suspect. And I don't like it. Now the episode, this episode of flo, as always, is challenging the status, challenging the system. And they don't like that. But I'm gonna continue to do that. That's what the fuck I do. I'm not scared to challenge the system or to challenge people. As a young, like I said, 20 year old, 20, in my 20s, low 20s, whatever. I was a kid, I challenged Floyd Mayweather by myself, eye to eye. When, when everybody else in the camp would bow down to him, when everybody else in the camp would talk, they would be, it was so crazy. People would be talking, we want to say something to Floyd, but they would say it to other People around Floyd, while Floyd's right there. I used to be like, tell him. And as a kid, I realized everybody don't have that. Everybody can't stand up. And I don't fault people for that. We all have our gifts. We all have our flaws. We. We are all. It's our imperfections of us that makes us beautiful. That makes us who are, who are, who we are. So because I have the strength to stand up to a person like Floyd or the system, or to this guy or the Diddy or that guy, or whoever the fuck comes in front of my face, I have the strength to stand up and stand tall. And because I have that, I don't talk down or I don't judge another person who might not have that in them. Because guess what? They have some other stuff in them that they do well, that I might want to learn from. But my goal and my calling is standing up to motherfuckers. I don't care how big you are, I don't care who you are, I don't care how much money you have, you can't buy me. I already proved it. I proved it as a kid, you know, you can't buy me as a grown adult. Big age. And I just say that because this ain't. This is. This is what I do. I don't care if it's Diddy. I don't care if it's this system. I don't care if it's racist cops in Mississippi. If you check my background, check my resume, I'm there. And I'm standing in their face and I'm asking questions. So another fascinating layer of this case with Luigi and his manifesto. He criticizes corporate greed and the health care system. And that sentiment resonates with many Americans. We all go through this shit. I know plenty of people, man. I got so many messages about health care that they really needed that was denied. And then we find out that UnitedHealthcare had a fucking AI system put in place to deny as many claims as they could. And they've been long criticized for these shady ass practices, hiking up premiums, denying health care for stupid ass reasons, and putting profits over people, putting profits over lives. For some. Thompson wasn't just a CEO. You know what he was? He was a symbol of a broken system. A broken system that caused some person to finally say this. Now, in saying this, that person did something that went too far. I'm not. I'm not advocating for killing people. Never would I ever. But now that it has happened, let's call A spade. A spade. This was a. Basically a representation of how the whole, that the whole public is fucking tired of it. If not only, not only don't look at the act, but look at the public response to that action. Now, typically, I don't care. Our public has a heart. And typically when somebody takes a life, the public goes off on that person. No, I, I've never seen. I don't care how evil the person who was killed. We as a people have a heart and understand that. That violence and deaths is not the answer. So it's not like every time someone's killed, the public is behind the alleged murderer. But that's what happened here. And you got to ask yourself why? And I'll tell you why. Because we are tired of this shit. And that's what you saw play out on that day. What was it? December 4th. And so in the days following the shooting, social media erupted. Some, very few, but some condemned Luigi. Called him a cold blooded killer. But the overwhelming majority, shockingly applauded his actions. They saw him as a vigilante taking justice into his own hands against an industry that they feel has did them wrong. It's disturbing, yes, but it is what it is. It also speaks to the desperation many people are feeling, especially right now. The health care system leaves millions in debt without coverage or even dying because they can't afford care. Luigi's act may have been violent and wrong, but the reaction shows just how deep the anger runs. Now, what does this case mean to us? It's a pivotal time in our society. Because although we. I kind of keep saying that we don't condone violence, we also are happy that you guys. And when I say you guys, I'm talking about the elites in the system. Oh, we got your attention. Now CEOs are taking a fucking picture down. Pictures down off the, off the company website. All of a sudden they don't want people to know they're a CEO. And this case isn't just about one man's actions. It's about the society that we've created. A society where justice is skewed in favor of the powerful. A society where the murder of a CEO is labeled terrorism. But the murder of a working class person, maybe like a person that was at the McDonald's, the person who called in someone like that murdered. It's just another statistic. Just another statistic. If you aren't a CEO and you are murdered. So what are the underlying issues? Luigi Maggione didn't act in a vacuum. His actions were born out of frustration with a system that millions feel is failing them. That frustration doesn't excuse his crime by any means. But it does demand that we look in the mirror as a society. It demands that these shady ass health care companies look into their system, look into their denials, look into what the hell is broken in their system that has people in the normal everyday life wanting to come pop a cap in your ass. All CEOs of health care are on notice right now. Get this shit right or you could be next. And I don't say that happily. I say that because this is no filter and I'll just keep it real. People are pissed. People are tired of that. Y'all know how many messages I get? I had a message where someone said that the healthcare they've been paying for for 15, almost 20 years wouldn't provide a wheel care for, for them. A wheelchair, sorry, wouldn't provide a wheelchair. And they can't walk, so what good is it? Why are we so quick to protect the elite though? And slow to address root causes of the violence? Root causes, causes of the despair. Until we confront these questions, cases like this will keep happening. I don't give a fuck how much you beef up to security. The names will change, the settings will change, the people will change. The names involved, the, the, everything will change, but the story will stay the same. People, when they are tired, people like, like, like what's the, what's it, when people are tired, they're going to do that, they're going to react. And what, that, what's that famous quote? For every action there's an op, there's an equal and opposite reaction. Well, that's what we seeing here. You deny 32% of your claims from hard working people that ain't trying to get over on nobody. They're just trying to pay their bills and get the health insurance that they paying for. You did not. 32% of the motherfuckers. And this what you get. This is what you get. And I appreciate y'all because you always let me rant and I have to rant about this. This is, this is me all day. This has been me from the beginning. This has been me even when I was assigned artists and I was in the industry, I was at all the parties, I was, you know, it's no secret. I, I'm real proud. Pretty. Had a strong relationship with 50 Cent back in the day. At the same time with Floyd. I've seen it all, done it all. But I was the same person then. And now me being older and looking back, I understand why I didn't. Why I had to leave the industry alone. Because I've always been a voice of the people. Even before all this social. Before me covering stuff on social media when nobody knew me, when I was just. I was always the person that if a business or if a powerful person, anybody wronged any of my family and friends, I was the person you could call or would call. I don't give a fuck if it's big or small, if it's even as small as somebody trying to illegally kick you out of your place. I had a family member. I won't say the name, but I had a family member that was getting kicked out last year. They had a party, and. And it was a. It was a Memorial Day party. They. They were one of the only. They were one of the young people that lived in the apartment complex. So everybody was kind of on their back anyway. You know how that goes. But they had a party. Nothing happened. It was very calm and quiet. Nothing at all. They had parties. Everybody has parties, right? But this particular racist leasing agent tried to kick them out without. Without probable cause, without. Without being justified. And they have already moving forward. Well, that family member called me. This was maybe a year and a half ago. Maybe a year ago, they called me. I called that place, told them who I was, told them I wasn't standing for that shit. They were a little. At first, before they really knew who I was, they were. They were a little cocky. But when we got off the phone and they were able to look up and see what I do and see that I don't just be talking. Oh, they called me back, and guess what? They worked it out. And that family member wasn't kicked out. That family member was allowed to stay there and is there to this day. And I only tell that story to just say, that is me. That didn't have nothing to do. I would do that. I've been doing shit like that my whole life. And so I guess by me being that type of person my whole life, God blessed me with this platform to make me even stronger, to give me the ability to help people even more. Because I just don't like bullies, I guess. I guess I'm the one who bullies the bully. That's why people, like, at first were like, be careful or, Or. Or. Or, you know, like, wondering was I worried about Diddy? They don't know. I went toe to toe with Floyd Mayweather at. In my early 20s as a little kid. And when I say toe to toe, I just mean standing up for myself as a man. I don't give a who you are. There were times that. That Floyd would make people do because he could and he would try that with me, and it didn't fly. And it always didn't fly. With respect, though. See, that's the difference with me. I'mma tell you no, and I'm a. But it's still going to be respectful and you gonna respect me, period. That's how I get down. So I'm just saying this is what we have to do, bro, is pay attention to this. And I appreciate y'all letting me vent about this because I don't like when the elites. I don't like when the powerful. I don't like when just try to just do people any kind of way. And so until I don't have any breath in my lungs, I am going to stand 10 toes and bring awareness and help out anybody that's getting played by this system. And that's why they called it no filter the flow show. We're coming to the end of another one, y'all. I appreciate y'all. Y'all. Y'all have made this podcast something that I already. That I already. I didn't never ex. I mean, I didn't see this coming. And we are going to continue to dive in. So let me. As at the end, you know, I always like to give y'all some to pay attention to. So today, pay attention. We have a Diddy has a court appearance today. Among the things that they're going to be going over, of course, I already told you that the. The judge throughout his motion or his claim that the prosecution leaked the Cassie tape or Cassie video where he was seeing a beating her or whatever he was trying to say he thought. He said the feds leaked it. It was found that they haven't. So they gonna, I guess, cover that. But also the. The prosecution or other feds have been able to have uncovered all those videos and they had to unlock them. And it was a. They didn't know if they were going to be able to get into those Diddy files in time, but they actually have. And they're going to bring all that by the 31st, I think they're going. They will be going over all of that. Plus, you all. You always know one thing about a court appearance comes from left field. So it's going to be something probably that's going to happen that I didn't even see coming. A judge probably didn't even see coming. So I am going to definitely update you on that tomorrow, but that is happening today, so you can check it out and see what comes out of this court appearance today for the Diddler. Basically, it's a. I'm calling it a telethon because at this point, I believe Diddy is going. Is telling on everybody. I believe Brendan Paul, of course, is telling on everybody. And even Jay Z might be whispering some behind Diddy's back after he just disowned them. I already talked about in length. I ain't got to go into that no more. But other than that, hump day, we almost there. I appreciate y'all, as always. I'm out pray for my cousin, y'all.
