Thank you. They had to take a break. Diddy, I'm use a. So y'all definitely. If you haven't seen that interview on vlad with day 26, please go check it out for yourself. It's a lot. Like I said. I always give you just enough to know what the hell going on, but it's a lot more that was said that you need to hear and support those brothers, man. That. That. That. That's one of the saddest interviews dealing with this Diddy that I've seen in a minute. And to know that it's sincere is up. But he said it made a good point or in there. And he said he was speaking about everybody around Diddy, who's trying to throw Diddy under the bus, and also trying to get money out of Diddy and whoever. But they were all a part of it and helped facilitate this bullshit. And I think that's the part of the Day 26 interview that I want people to really lock in on how many people were there? And literally, not only did they not say anything, but they actually helped Diddy carry out this and. And take advantage of these young men and women. And it's just sad, y'all, because if you look at the celebrity world and. And. And we're going to go over to Kanye west because he's kind of co signed what this day 26 person this group is saying. But he, but then he also is kind of losing me Kanye on kind of how he's going about it. We're gonna talk about it. But Kanye part of his message, if y'all have seen Kanye west, he is going the off. I don't know if y'all seen it. He doing his, he, he and one of his rare, his rare Kanye west blast the whole world mode. He's in that mode right now and he's saying Free Diddy or in his words, Free Puff. And you know that used to be Diddy's name, Puff Daddy. He's saying Free Puff. Now one part of his message that I can get with is him saying that all the celebrities are being phony as hell who was all cool with Diddy. And now they ain't saying. I could feel him on that. Like I ain't standing up for Diddy. But it does just show you in general that all them celebrities, you can't trust none of them as far as you can throw them. Which is why we don't really care about them no more. Like we call, I call them the old celebrities. Meaning that's what we used to want in our celebrities. Now we want our celebrities to be normal. We want our celebrities to be digestible. We want our celebrities to be real. We want our celebrities to be a voice of us. Cuz we support they ass. The old days of celebrities that we could just look up to and be ah. And they can do no wrong. And we don't look at them for what they really are and, and see if they have any real beliefs or any real character about themselves. See those days over with. Now we looking at you for who you are. Yeah, you could be a great basketball player, but are you a great human being? You would be a great songwriter or musical genius. But are you a good human being? See the. Are you a good human being? That, that didn't, that question didn't used to get asked. We used to just look up at celebrities and I'm talking about myself. We look at celebrities and just, hey, they're great, they're great. This, they're great. That, they're just great. No, no, no, no, no. And I'm glad that we have raised our criteria of being a celebrity that we give our money to in our time to. What the hell are you talking about? You know what I mean? We want to know what are you talking about? So Kanye west did bring up that point, but I'm not with the Free Puff to Free Diddy, and I like Kanye, but Free puff ain't it. Not, not, not with, not when you have daughters, not when you know all the that's going on. But you can't just say that, man, and spit in the face of these people that had these issues just because you want to make your own point. But he has called out all of the celebrities that are being quiet that were cool with that Diddy. And I think he really talking about Jay Z. Like, I really think he's really talking about Jay Z. But if you saw it, y'all. Do y'all know Kanye west is launching or just launched a Sean John version, which, you know, Sean John is Diddy's clothing line. Oh, X clothing line or old clothing line, but he still has it. And so Kanye west said him and Diddy talked about doing a collabo of Kanye or Yeezy and, and Sean John, and he just dropped that. My question is, are y'all gonna buy it? Are y'all gonna buy the new Sean John Kanye west collaboration? I just think it's bad timing. I can understand what, like I said, the one part I do understand is Kanye calling out these phony ass celebrities who all been kissing Diddy ass all this time and was all friends and even Ellen was calling her his. Remember, she. Ellen called Diddy her Snuggle mc Snuggle tough or whatever the hell nickname she made up. It was something like snuggle stuff or my Mr. Mc Snuggle or something. She ain't saying. Ain't nobody saying nothing. And that part I could get with Kanye on that part. I can't get with him on just talking about Free Puff. I can't get with him talking about. Yeah, he might have did some wrong, some wrong things. But no, no, no, no, no. I can't get with that Kanye. I like I said, I can get with the other shit. I can't get with that Kanye. So Felix say he ain't buying it. He ain't gonna buy the, the new Kanye ain't put his, his. No. If this is a simple comment, but it hit, it hit sometimes, sometimes just a simple Noah do. And like I said, hey, do what you do, Kanye. But this rant going off saying Free Puff and, and, and all of that, I don't think that's it. I don't know. And, and launching a, a, A Sean John brand every in. In rebellion of what's going on. I don't know what the point is. But I don't really like it. I don't know if y'all saw it, but it's all over the Internet today, and I'm sure all day you'll be hearing about it. I do have, on the Lunchtime show, I do have a, a, a, A Kanye west article that I do want to talk about where Kanye west does talk about how his girlfriend helped him with autism. I want to go over that at 12 noon live, if you want to buy. But, but, but Kanye, this free puff shit, I ain't with it. And that's just my opinion. I think it's. I think it ain't. I think it's a lot of stuff you could be crashing out on. I think it's a lot of issues that Kanye west could be bringing to the forefront. But saying free puff, I mean, worrying about free and puffy, I don't think that's on the top of the list. That's just me. It has even went as far as Kanye west has even tweeted trump to pardon Diddy. So he is going hard at his buddy Trump to pardon Diddy. And like I said, I'm anxious to see how this today plays out, because all this kind of just hit the fan, like last night when it really kind of picked up steam. So a lot of people hadn't really caught wind of it, but they will this morning and today and all day today. And I'm really anxious to see the public react, because we do, for the most part, you know, we understand. We do like Kanye. We know he gonna talk. He gonna. And I can relate to Kanye. You know, when you, when you come from the cuff, you ain't gonna always say the right, which is why I don't really. As long as somebody being honest with me, I don't really condemn them. I might speak on what they're talking about and give my opinion, but Kanye is kind of like a no filter. He kind of like a no filter person, too. And me being a no filter person, I can understand. When you give people your honesty and you give people your. Your instant reaction to stuff without filtering it, like most people do, sometimes you're gonna say some shit that rub people the wrong way, but you can't have it both ways, y'all. We can't. We can't ask people to give us honesty and, and don't feed us bullshit. And then when they give us honesty we don't like, then we have a problem with that person as a whole. We can have a problem with what they Say we can have a problem with whatever action they do, but we can't have a problem with the. With the person for being honest. If we want honesty out of people, because I deal with that. I love the community that we've created, and this community was created brick by brick, one at a time, one person. And I love and appreciate it. But every now and then, you know, we go two years back and we have done so much stuff together. If you're new to this journey, if you ain't been on this journey for two years or at least a year and a half, sometimes reach out to some of the day ones of the Flow movement, and they'll tell you some of the stuff we've done together. My relationship with my listeners, followers, fans, whatever, is unlike most people because I know my people that follow me and they know me, and they know I'm going to give you me unfiltered honest every, all day, every day. But every now and then, there are. There. There are some stragglers that get aboard this movement late. And I. And I love you the same. But a lot of times those people that come on late, they don't understand where we came from. And so they come in here and this is how I know that somebody is new to this movement. They'll say, maybe I'll speak out about some shit Elon Musk did that I didn't like. And anybody that knows me know that I don't play favors. I'm independent. I will call out both sides. I will give both sides their flowers if they need it. And they love me for that. And I love y'all for that because it allows me to just be honest with y'all. But then I'll have somebody, like, I had somebody send me a message. They were upset. I'm not going to read their message because I don't want to put them out there like that. But they basically a long, short said they like that they wanted. They like the Diddy content, but they don't. They. But they. But they disagree and don't like me calling out Elon Musk. And that's a. And. And I respect your opinion. And they. And they act like they speak for. And he was saying like. And I speak for I think a lot of people. And I say, let me. Let. So now let me. Let me explain and correct you about that. Nobody is safe. I've already. I've said from the beginning of this journey, I'm a puff. I was a. I grew up a Puff Daddy fan. I grew up a Jay Z fan. I grew up a fan of all these people, but I'mma call them out. You know why? Because right is right and I call it down the middle. And I've said this before, but if you think I'm gonna call out my heroes or to people I like and think, if you think I can't call out people you like, then this ain't the community. This ain't that community. This is a community. We all appreciate each other's ideas and each other's opinions. And what I'm about is not silencing. And to give you my point about how it's not about money or any of that, I don't care. I talk about Elon Musk or any of that type of stuff. Maybe once, maybe once or twice a month, it'll come across my desk and somebody will ask me about it and I give you my opinion. But if I was like a typical media that y'all used to or the rest of these celebrities or people who are just money hungry, I could just say to that, that follower who sent me that, like, you know what? You support my movement. I won't talk about Elon Musk no more just because it ain't no big part of my content. But it's more valuable for me to tell you to your face, anybody is on the table. If I can't speak on anybody, I won't speak on nobody. And if you understand, let me repeat that. If I can't speak on everybody honestly and fair, then I won't speak on nobody. Because that person, who's you, you butt, heard about Elon Musk. You don't understand that I have followers who've been following me for, since two years ago who, who sometimes say, hey, you shouldn't go so hard on Diddy. You know, it's not, it's not been proven in court and this and that. And I respect what they're saying, right? But guess what? I still cover what I cover. So should I. Should I? So because that person who's been following me, they disagree with me covering some of the Diddy stuff. Should I eliminate Diddy now? So now I'd eliminated Elon Musk because this person's butthurt. And so another person butthurt about the Diddy content. So now I eliminate Diddy. And then this person's upset about the Jay Z content. So now I eliminate Jay Z. So now I talk two hours a day, every day. So now I come in here, I guess all I could talk about is the Cleveland Browns. My Sports team. Do y'all want to hear that shit for two hours? No. So I love and appreciate my movement. And it's so diverse. Is black, is white, is Spanish, it's Latin. It's. It's. It's. It's. Everything is, man. It's women, it's professionals, it's old people, it's young people. We are a diverse melting pot here, and that's what I love about it. So anybody that comes in here and tries to say, hey, don't talk about this or don't talk about that, you in the wrong community. Because we talk about it all. And guess what? Instead of if. If I say something or I speak on somebody that you don't agree with or somebody you want to stand up for, guess what you do? And this is what my longtime followers who follow me from the beginning do. Just put it. Put it. You could write a long paragraph, or you could write an essay in the fan mail instead of telling me what I can talk about. And not just put. Just put your clarification. Maybe you want to clear up what Elon Musk is really over and how he's handling the money or what is he doing with our country. You could have put that in there. And guess what I would have did. I would have saw that you felt strongly about it. And whether I agree or disagree, I would have read it to my. To all our community and let them decide. And that's what other people do. I'll give you a perfect example. When I did, I ran a story on Chris Brown, and all I was covering was the documentary that went into his domestic abuse. Abuse. I wasn't opinionated about it. This was me covering the documentary. But there were a lot of Chris Brown fans who follow me who don't like what the documentary was saying. Right. And guess what they did. They went into my inbox, they said, hey, you cover Chris Brown. I don't agree with this or that. He served his time. He did this, he did that. He's not getting a fair shake. And gave a long, good explanation. And guess what I did. I loved it. I thanked him for sending me that, and I came right on my show and I read their statement because it's not about. I'm not here to. You don't have to agree with me like that. I don't. We. We grown people. I got 500,000 followers across all platforms. There's no way I can agree. Agree with every 500,000 people. But what I can do is give you my honest opinion every time and Let you know what's going on and then tell you where to go to look up the information yourself. And that's why I love y'all, and that's why y'all love me. So I love every now and then, when somebody comes out and tries to tell me what to talk about, not talk about, because it gives me a chance to educate a person about this movement. Because guess what? I ain't a professional in politics. I ain't a professional on crime. I ain't a professional on sports. But I am a professional on one thing. On what the Flow show no Filter is about. Because we built this together and can't nobody tell me what this is about. This is a beautiful group of group that I. That. That God has blessed me with. I love each and every one of y'all, and that's why I bust my ass. I do two shows a day, an hour, a piece. I work before I wake up in the morning. I'm researching what I'm talking about. And when the show's over, I'm researching all day for the next show, the next morning. So you think somebody will put all that work in for somebody to tell them what they can talk about and can't talk about? Because like I always say, it's called no Filter, and that's why I named it that for a reason. I come in at the beginning of every show and I say the thoughts, views, and opinions on the Flow show no Filter are for educational, entertainment purposes only. I am not a professional. I'm just good. And I start my show with that every day. You know why you think I say that? Because it sound cute? No, I say that to let people know exactly what it is. I'm not a professional. I'm just good at what I do. And so people tune in and we all together. So. So. So I had to put that out there because I love my community and I'm letting y'all know. Nobody. I don't care if it's one person. I don't care if it's TMZ. I don't give a fuck if it's TikTok. Don't nobody support me like y'all, and ain't nobody gonna tell me what the I can talk about or not talk about. And I do that because I love the community that supports me. So the minute I have, I feel like I gotta sit at this microphone and. And I gotta think about what I can say and can't say. That would be my last time. That's when I know it's time for me to retire. So a lot of people tell me how long. I feel like I would do this for the rest of my life because I love talking to y'all. I love what we do. I don't. I don't want it. I don't want this to ever end. But I am telling you this. The minute the, the day I don't care if I'm 60, I don't care if I'm 70. The day I sit at this desk and I have to think about, oh, I can't talk about this person because this person gonna be mad, or I can't talk about this person because this. The minute that runs through my head, that will be the last fucking show. So we gonna move on. And I love y'all and let me get to my subscribers of the month and then we gonna get into another topic. But I always have to express my love because y'all, the community that God has blessed me with, it brings me to tears sometimes because I didn't know it was so many people who were open and, and not judgy and all of that, but still had good decency and, and want to see the. And want to see victims get justice and want to spread awareness and want to teach each other and talk with each other. I love that the people that's trying to. That. That every now and then try to control what I say or who I talk about, those are the people that when you all gather, we all talking. Right when they come in the room, we got to change our subject because they came in the room. I don't want that kind of community. I want a community where we can keep talking. And I don't care who come in that room, we all keep talking. I got just as many Trump supporters listening to my shit as I have Biden supporters listening to my shit. I got just as many black people, white people and Latinos listening to my content. And I love that because that is what I'm about. And guess what? We can talk about whatever we want to talk about. Y'all got opinions that might not be exactly my opinions. And we gonna. And we gonna love it and we gonna talk about it. So let me get to my subscriber of the day. I really appreciate it. I will be talking about the TMZ incident of what the hell they did to me and why they pissed me off in the subscription only content this weekend. Also, you will be getting brunch with Flo today. We got a 12 o'clock coming up, but subscriber of the day, as soon as my phone pulls it up, is Caroline. Caroline San Tana, Caroline Santana, you are a beautiful listener, a beautiful supporter. I appreciate you so much, y'all. She donated a $5 subscription. Like I told you, the minimum is only $3. She gave $5. It helps the. Keeps. It keeps the show going, keeps the lights on and. And it. And it helps me grow the show and continue to grow and give you my all. So, Caroline, we all gonna give you a round of applause. Can everybody thank Caroline in the comments? Say thank you, Caroline, because this is what makes. Makes the show go on and makes me be able to come in here and tell people like tmz, tell y'all what's really going on, because guess what? My community, we supporting each other. So I don't need tmz. I don't need Tick Tock. I don't need nobody. All I need is y'all. And I'm gonna keep stepping. And to that listener who wrote that message, this. Don't even get offended. This is just me being honest. I respect your message. This is why I'm even talking about it. I respect anybody that dedicates their time to listen to my show. But the no filter is no filter. So no hard feelings. I understand where you coming from. I just want you to understand where I'm coming from. So, y'all, what is going on? Let me. Before we get out of here, let me tell you about some weird I just seen, and if y'all can help me in the comments, what happened in this. This flight that went in Alaska? The flight that went to. Through. Over Alaska or somewhere by Alaska. It was six people on it, and the flight vanished. Did y'all see that? This. And I don't know what type of. What six people were on this thing or what was going on, but it was a flight, and they completely lost it. Michelle, can you give me. Michelle says she saw it. Do you have any info on that? It was something that came right as I was. It came through my phone right as I was about to do this show. So I didn't get to. Really. After I get off this show, I'm. I'm gonna do some more digging, But I saw that, and I'm like, what the hell? Can you give us some more information, Michelle? Do you know what it is? I'll pin it in the comments, but I just thought that was strange. I don't know. Also, 50 Cent about to beat up somebody. I don't know. Y'all. Y'all gotta pay attention to that 50 cent is. Is. Is. Yeah. I'm like, yeah, that's crazy. So. But, yeah, but 50 Cent is about to pull his show to BMF because he done got into it with Little Meech and Big Meech, and we might not be seeing BMF no more. And I don't know if y'all been following it, but 50 Cent has been on a damn rampage. Shout out to 50 Cent, another person I know. And one thing about 50 Cent, he's was one of the most helpful people in the music back in the early 2000s. People can say what they want, but personally, I Gotta tell y'all, 50 Cent is one of the realest celebrities. Now, I'm not gonna say I agree with everything he do, but if you meet him, you'll know. Like, you'll be like, damn. I didn't think 50 was that cool when I met 50 Cent. I mean, not when I met him. I already knew him. But then when I met up with 50 cent one time at a video shoot in Atlanta, this one I really knew he was different or just a real dude. It was a video shoot. It was. Matter of fact, it was the video that him and Sierra had back in the day. I don't know if y'all remember the song that 50 Cent and Sierra had together. Well, I was in Atlanta at the time of that video shoot. 58 hit me up and was like, come check out the video shoot. So I went to the video shoot and I had, like, man, I had. This is when I was running around in my young. My young dude stage. I had about. I probably had about 15 guys with me. At least 15 guys. And so we go up to the video shoot. You know, we looking like a deep gang, but we, you know, we was always cool brothers. But you know how when you got 15 guys together and traveling and walking together, it does look. Make a little scene. I walk up to 50 cent. I told my guys to hang back a little bit because I didn't want to, like. Like, I didn't want to make it look like I was. You know, I didn't want to make it look too uncomfortable. You know, this 50 cent, especially this 50 in its prime. Prime. So I was like. Told them to hang back a little bit. I went to talk to 50. I said, what's up to 50 cent? He said, who your guys? I said, oh, they're my guys from Atlanta. He told all 15 of them guys to come over. And he introduced himself and shook the hand of all 15 of them guys face to face. Eye to eye and introduce himself. And this is. I said this dude different. I ain't never seen no celebrity do this. I wasn't nobody like that. I mean, I was known, but I wasn't nobody that you had to do all that for. And then on top of that, my guys look. I mean, not all of them, but some of them just look crazy. You know, you got 15 guys. Some of them was just there to watch my back. It was. It was a different time. But when 50 made a point to have me call them over, and he introduced himself to everybody, shit, them guys, you know how my friends looked at me even different after that? I'm like, I'm still the same flow. This is 50 cool as hell. And so not only that, 50 co sign for me to get my first record deal. He told Interscope. Not my first record deal, but my record deal that I had on. On the table with Interscope. 50 co signed that 50 told them to sign me, and he didn't have to. And so it's many things that 50 Cent did that other celebrities would never do. And that's how I know 50 Cent comes from. From the struggle and represents the struggle. Now, he might say some. He might do some wild ass and some shit you might not agree with. I can't speak on that, but I could speak on a few people who I met in the industry and had real dealings with who were actually cool. Like, they actually were real people that come from real cloth. And 50 Cent is one of them numerous gems that he gave me. And so, like I said, I just keep it real with y'all. If it's some bullshit, whether it's 50 Cent or not, I call his ass out too. But I keep it real with the people I really know. Another person that you might not know is like, Jazzy Faye. Jazzy Fay is a producer. I got a strong relationship with him. He's another one who is in the industry, highly successful and a down to earth dude. It's not many of them in the industry that you would really say are down to earth, but the ones that I know are. I'll definitely make sure I let y'all know because, you know, they deserve. For the. For the truth, as far as, from what I know, but. Happy Friday, y'all. I appreciate y'all. Y'all heard me rant. Y'all heard me talk about Kanye. This weekend we. I'll be streaming for the Luca Laker game. This a big game. It's gonna be Luca's first game playing with the Lakers I will be streaming so we can kick it for that. So look out for that. I think the LUCA game starts at like 5:30 something Eastern. Also Sunday I will be streaming a little bit for the super bowl, especially halftime. Y'all know that Kendrick Lamar has just said he is doing not like us for sure. So. So definitely check me out this weekend. Much love to everybody on Apple and Spotify listening. I love each and every last one of y'all. Y'all made this show, y'all. We y'all name this show. We about to hit a hundred thousand downloads in 90 days. And when y'all told me to do a podcast, I didn't even know what the fuck to call it. And we put a poll together and y'all came up with the name the Flow Show. And all I did was add in the no filter. Cause I said I gotta make sure people know what they getting into when they come to this show. This ain't your grandmama's podcast. Even though a lot of the grandmamas love me and I've stood up for a lot of grandmothers over my two year history of, of of doing these cases. So I love y'all too. So hey, enjoy your weekend. Stay safe. Enjoy the Super Bowl. Go Chiefs. Go Lakers. And by the way, my Cleveland Cavaliers just made a deal where they they think we about to win it all this year. So we'll see. As always, I love y'all. And I'm.
