The thoughts, views and opinions shared on the Flow show no Filter are for educational and entertainment purposes only. I am not a professional. I am just good. Welcome, welcome, welcome to another episode of the Flow show no Filter. One of my favorite times of the day is bringing y'all the new news. What do we have today? Well, we got an update on Diddy bail hearing. He is now pulling the race car and trying to see if that will grant him some freedom. Uh, and also we got Diddy part two coming soon, y'all. I don't know if y'all been following, but Drake is going down a dangerous, dangerous path and we gonna have to get into that too. Drake is setting himself up to be the next Diddy, meaning the next person who challenged big money, big authority and has skeletons. And those skeletons could be coming out. UMG and Lucien or nobody to play with. And Drake is trying to sue them over the not they're not like us record and all type of defamation. He's saying it's getting crazy. But let's start off with this Diddy thing. This judge is getting on my fucking nerves, y'all. I just wanna say that first. Let me just get that out the way because why the fuck could you just not have gave. Given an answer on Friday now? I don't give a shit. It don't take this long. This remind me of like when you're. When your mom or your parents, you were on punishment and maybe there was a big party or a big football game or a big something going on. One of your classmates having a big get together that popped up out of nowhere and you're on punishment, so you don't think you can go. But you figure, hey, I've been on punishment, maybe my mom will let me go. Let me ask her. And then you ask her and she hits you with a. I think about it. And you like fucking think about it. I just wanna know a yes or a no. I hate now I gotta think about this shit all weekend. Am I gonna go? Are you gonna say yes? Are you gonna say no? Now I got my classmates bugging me. Am I gonna be able to go? Is your mom gonna let you? And you're not answering, I gotta answer all these questions. That's how I fucking feel now. Because I got a thousand million people hitting me up, talking about, did he get bailed? Did he get bail yet? What's going on? All because this judge is being. To me, he's being a jerk because it don't take this long. And guys, before I'm get I'm about to get into this. This, this, this judge that's pissing me the hell off. But let's send some prayers to Wendy Williams. She is permanently incap. Incapacitated. Incapacitated from dementia battle. This is coming from her team. She is not looking good. I don't know how much longer she has or what quality of life she's looking at, but let's pray for her and pray for me. Trying to pronounce whatever that word. I don't know, I've never heard of that word before. But anyway, let's get into Diddy. So now Diddy is pulling the race card and we gotta break it down. Where we breaking it down on the flow show. No filter, where we cut through the noise y'all, and we get to them hard truths. So today we gonna deep dive into this Diddy the hip hop mogul. And what the hell is going on with this judge and this bail. Now we all know Diddy has some of the most shocking allegations known to man going on right now. And yes, Diddy is pulling out every stop, every trick in the book to convince the courts they need to let his ass out. But here's the question. Should someone accuse of crimes this severe with this much evidence of tampering and intimidation, should they really be allowed back into society while awaiting trials? Now I got a spoiler alert. I don't think so. And by the end of this episode, you might not either. If you don't already agree with me now. So let's unpack this Diddy mess. Diddy. Diddy. Diddy. Diddy, you motherfucker. Let's start with the charges themselves, y'all. Diddy is facing some minor tax evasion case or. And all these little lawsuits. No, no, no, no, no. We're not talking about that. We're not talking about none of that. We're talking about sex trafficking and racketeering. Some of the most heinous crimes imaginable. Federal prosecutors alleged that Diddy engaged in long running pattern of abu abuse, using drugs, power and influence to victimize adults and children. At parties no less. And let's not forget that the investigation didn't just come out of nowhere. It started after his ex girlfriend, Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit alleging abuse, violence and other serious misconducts. The case settled almost immediately, but not before a damning video surfaced showing Diddy putting his hands and feet all over Cassidy like a fucking crazed monster. This wasn't just a one off incident either. Over the past year there have been over a hundred alleged victims coming Forward. And they're being represented by Tony Busby, a well known Texas attorney. Now let that sink in. More than a hundred people accusing Diddy of everything from date rape, drugs to violent assaults. And these aren't just rumors. These accusations are backed by witnesses, they're backed by evidence, and they're backed by a history of violence that prosecutors have detailed in court filings. Now, if the charges weren't bad enough, let's talk about Diddy's behavior while in custody. Prosecutors have accused him of using banned apps and other inmates phones to contact friends, family and even witnesses. And we all are aware of that. He even staged a birthday call with his family and he had his daughter singing Happy Birthday. It was just a sweet little moment that was very calculated. But these things aren't just violations of prison's rules. It's a direct attempt to influence the public and the pub and possibly witnesses. And it's not the first time Diddy has been accused of tampering. Prosecutors have laid out a pattern of obstruction, from threatening witnesses to encouraging his staff to cover for him. They've described him as someone with significant history of violence, citing incidents where he allegedly threatened to kill staff members, threw objects at them and physically assaulted them. Basically being a Mohawk Diddy menace. Think about what this all means. If Diddy is willing to bend the rules and intimidate people while in jail, what the fuck could he do if released? The courts have a duty to protect the victims. The court has a duty to protect the witnesses. Letting someone like Diddy out on bail will put all them at risk. So now we come to the race car defense. One of Diddy's main arguments is that this case is racially motivated. His lawyers have described the prosecution as racist and claim that it's an attack on a successful black man. They've even gone as far as to accuse federal investigators of leaking sealed information to the press. But less be real. Throwing around accusations of racism doesn't erase the mountain of evidence against the Diddy monster. Yes, the justice system has a history of racial biases. We know that. I go to bat against this racist ass system every day is how I started. So I understand that. And yes, we should always be vigilant about that. I totally agree. But in this case, the race car kind of feels like a smokescreen. It kind of feels like a desperate attempt to distract from the gravity of the charges. That's not forget. Diddy's own actions are what brought him here. We got the video evidence, the testimonies, the pattern of violence. It's all in the open claiming racism. It doesn't change that shit. And it certainly doesn't change the fact that Diddy has shown a blatant disregard for the law even while in custody. We'll be back after a quick break.

I mean, I of all people, people know I stand up for my people, for all people in general against the racist system. But when you are destroying and running amok and being a menace to your own people, I lose sympathy on that race car. I'm just being honest. Now here's why Diddy absolutely should not be granted bail. First, he's a proven flight risk. He will hop his happy ass on that private jet and get the fuck up out of here if we give him a chance. Let's be honest. Y'all remember he was he gassed up that private jet and was running before. If y'all were following my social media page, we documented everywhere that private jet was going. It was, it was like when the when it first hit the fan. Diddy had gassed that thing up and was trying to get the hell out of Dodge so he could easily disappear and evade justice. Second, there's a clear danger to the public. Prosecutors have already shown that he's used his power to harm others and is willing to intimidate witnesses. Diddy will do whatever the fuck it take for him to beat this case. He's done it before. Ask Shine the Rapper. Third reason Releasing him would send a dangerous message. What would that dangerous message be? That wealth and fame can shield you from accountability. It would discourage other victims from coming forward knowing that someone with Diddy's resources can manipulate the system and be right back in your face, free as a bird. The court's responsibility is to protect the public and ensure a fair trial. Granting bail to someone like a Mohawk Diddy with a history of violence, a history of obstruction and witness tampering that will undermine all of these goals. This case, like I said before, isn't just about Sean Diddy Combs. It's about how the justice system handles powerful people who abuse their positions. Time and time again, we've seen celebrities and wealthy individuals use their money and influence to dodge accountability. But the tide is turning. 2024. Society is no longer willing to look the other way, turn the other cheek. None of that shit. We tired of it. And courts need to reflect that same shift. In other words, courts need to get with the fucking program that we own. We're not playing that shit and we're not playing with anybody anymore. Diddy's case is something like a litmus test. Will the justice system prioritize the safety and dignity of victims? Or will it cave to pressure and money and power of the wealth and of the celebrity? We shall see. But the allegations against him are nothing to play with. And if you remember, he pulled this same card with Diageo or Diago, the liquor company. And when I say he, I mean Diddy. And that caused, many believe. Let me just say allegedly, because we can't say for sure, but many believe that caused that liquor company. They were worth $100 billion. They said, you know what? It's time for us to go all our war against Diddy. And a lot of us believe that they caused the raids and they are behind all of this, which is holding Diddy accountable to shit he did. Now I don't. I don't want people. Two things can be possible. Two things can be true at the same time. Diddy can be a piece of shit and he also could be being railroaded or being exposed because of his greed and the beef with Diageo. So just cause I say Diageo. Cause it does not mean I'm saying Diddy didn't do hella shit to be found guilty for. But what I mean and what the reason why I'm even bringing up Diageo and that Diddy used a race car and went at war with them. And you see this result and we got Diddy number two coming out doing the same thing. And this guy goes by the name Drizzy, or you know him as Drake. Let's not be surprised if Drake gets. He's going after UMG and Lucien, which is just as big as the liquor company. It's a possibility that Drake may come up with a mysterious pneumonia. Or don't be surprised if you see hella, hella accusers, hella accusations. If you see just a lot of stuff coming out. Because these big establishments do not play when you try to come against them. And we about to dive into this shit and pay attention because this Drake shit is about to get just as spooky as this Diddy stuff. So pay attention now so you won't be behind. But first, let me get to a couple shout outs. I got Kim, Kim from. Where are you from, Kim? Jackson, Mississippi. She says, hey, flow, it's Kim from. From Brandon, Mississippi. Sorry I said Jackson, Brandon, Mississippi. And she says, my flow is in the know and I like it. Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Kim. I appreciate all my faithful listeners. And I thought one more shout out got a shout out, my people. Eileen. Eileen is listening all the way from London. She says, I listen to your pod on my way to work or in the gym. Keep up the good work. All the best, Eileen. I appreciate you, Eileen. And anybody that wants a shout out, hit me up in the fan mail or DM me on my social media. Any of my social medias is Flo, Daddy Flo. F L O D A D D Y F L O on all platforms. Tik Tok, Instagram, Facebook, all that. But now let's get back into. Drake is treading. He is on thin fucking ice, y'all. I'm telling y'all, this is about to get crazy. Now remember I was the first one who called out Diddy that all this that's going on now, I called this out September, October of 2023, way before anyone thought anything would ever happen to Diddy. I was standing 10 toes saying he would be arrested. Hollywood was about to fall. All of that, you can ask anybody who's been following me from day. Now I'm telling you, this Drake shit is about to get spooky as well. And it reminds me of what Michael Jackson went through. So let's explore. Let's explore this. We. I'm about that we bout to dive into this Drake danger zone that he's going in. That reminds me a lot of what Michael Jackson went through. Went through. And I know you thinking, how the fuck could the King of Pop and the six God have anything in common? Aside from the fact they both had massive global success and influence. But what if I told you there's a shocking thread tying them together? And it leads straight back to one of the most powerful forces in the music industry. Universal Music Group, or otherwise known as umg. Let's explore the theory that record labels systematically dismantle artists who dare to challenge them. A theory that links Michael Jackson's downfall to his battle with umg and could now be repeating itself with Drake. Strap in for this one, y'all. I'm telling y'all, I'm going to educate y'all on this. Drake situation. So as it progresses, you will be able to follow this because it is about to spiral out of control and it's about to remind us of Diddy, because Drake himself does have skeletons in the closet. So let's first rewind to 2003. Michael Jackson was arguably the biggest artist in the world. He took a bold stand against UMG and its subsidiary Motown Records. He sued them for breaching a 1980 agreement. At the heart of this lawsuit, the rights of his music. Jackson accused UMG of profiting off of his pre 1976 songs without paying him his due royalties. Now think about it. What Michael Jackson represented at that time, he wasn't just a pop icon. He was a business powerhouse. One of the few artists who fought tooth and nail to own his own masters. That ownership made him a threat to the traditional power dynamics of the music industry. And here is where it gets eerie. Around the same time Jackson was making noise about these lawsuits, the allegations against him ramped up. It was like perfect timing. We all remember the headlines. Michael Jackson accused of being a predator. These accusations, whether you believe them or not, were enough to tarnish his reputation forever. Now, I don't believe that shit. And he was vindicated as recent as a few months ago that the court ruled that all that shit was false. But here's the question. Was it all a coincidence? Or was that deliberately a move put on by the label to destroy his credibility and keep him from gaining even more power? Now enter Drake. Is history repeating itself? Now Fast forward from 2003, hop in your time machine and bring your ass back up to 2024 with me. Now it's 2024, and we have another artist challenging UMG, and his name is Drake, accusing them of artificially inflating, inflating Kendrick's Lamar's song, Not Like Us. Why? Because that song contains a direct shot at Drake calling him a certified pedophile. Let that sink in for a moment. Drake's lawsuit claims that UMG not only ignored horrible lyrics, damaging lyrics, but actively promoted that song. He is a legend that they use bots to inflate the Spotify streams and pay radio stations to give it more airplay. The same shit that they all do for everybody. And that's one thing that's pissing me off a little bit about what Drake's doing because he has benefited from all this shit. And now because he got his ass handed to him on a platter, he wants to sue and whatever. But let's continue. But think about how damning that is a label if they are caught using their resources to boost a song that drags one of its artists. All hell could break loose if that is put out to the public. Well, Drake has been one of UMG's Golden Geese for years, signing a $400 million deal that covered everything from music to films and TV. But here's the kicker. Like Mike Drake owns his own masters. That means he can walk away from this deal anytime, any point, unscratched. And maybe that's the problem. Maybe UMG sees him as a liability, Someone who is too powerful and two independent. Now does that sound familiar? Think back to 2003. Sounds a lot like Mike. Now let's do what I'm famous for. Let's connect the dots. What if UMG is using the same fucking playbook they allegedly used against Michael in 2003? Jackson was in the middle of a legal battle with UMG when they when those damaging allegations surfaced. Now in 2024, Drake is suing UMG and suddenly a song accusing him of being a predator gets boosted by his label with like never before. Is this true? Is this a coincidence? This isn't just about petty industry beef, y'all, between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, who can rap the best and who, blah blah, blah, blah. No, no, no, no, no. This is about power and control. And if the theory is true, UMG is sending a clear message. If you challenge us, we will destroy your father name, we will destroy your brand, we will destroy your legacy. Think about the long term impact for Michael Jackson. Those allegations became his identity. True or not true, it didn't fucking matter. It didn't matter how much he achieved, how many records he sold, his philanthropy, how much he gave back. His reputation was permanently tarnished. And if UMG succeeds in doing the same to Drake, they could cripple that boy and break his ability to even make money in music. And here's something else to chew on. Drake's lawsuit claims that UMG paid I Heart Radio to boost Kendrick Lamar's song. That's just. That's not just shady, it's egregious. It shows that the label is willing to use its resources to pit artists against each other for its own game. And that's where the problem lies. Why does this matter to all of us? Why does it matter? Why does it? This is Kendrick and Drake's beef. Why does it matter to all of us? I'll tell you why. Because it's all a part of the system. Because this isn't just about Drake or Mike. This is about how powerful institutions crush Anyone who threatened their dominance. It's a tale as old as time. Look at how Prince had to fight to reclaim his name in his music. Look at how even Taylor Swift has been battling to own her masters. The system is designed to keep artists in their place, no matter how rich or successful they are. But here's the hopeful part, y'all. Artists like Michael Jackson and Drake aren't just victims. They can be symbols. They could be symbols of change. By speaking out, they could be exposed in the dark underbelly of the industry, helping those smaller artists who suffer the same fate. And maybe, just maybe, their bravery will inspire the next generation of artists to demand more fairness, more transparency, and more respect. But what do you think about that? Is Drake gonna face the same fate as Michael Jackson by going against umg? Do you believe UMG really does orchestrate these smear campaigns against artists who challenge them? Whatever the truth may be, one thing is clear right now, the music industry is a fucking battlefield. And the stakes couldn't be higher. This about to get out of control, y'all. Buckle the up. Thank you, thank you. Thank you for listening to another episode of the Flow Show. No filter. We stay tuned.
