Ah, happy, happy, happy, happy birthday to your boy. Best birthday ever already. Thursday. All the Pisces out there in the world. This is Pisces season. I am officially 132 years old today. Clap it up for me. You know, when I was little, I was one of those kids that was quick to call an old person old as dirt behind they back. You know, we bad kids. That was our joke. Man, shut up, man. You he old as dirt and you don't realize one day, God willing, you will be old as dirt too. But I didn't know it would feel this good. It feels so good, y'all, today. Happy, happy birthday. It's a Thursday, Thursday, Thursday. I'm feeling blessed. Let me tell you what we talking about today, Diddy. Before we get into all that birthday talk. Diddy. The feds are have fired back at Diddy, saying that it's racism. Jay Z and Tony Busby still got more drama. And I don't like it. But y'all, the merch store is launched. Everybody been like, I want my and I don't like it. Gear I need. You need merch. You need merch. I was waiting for the perfect time to launch it, and today is the day, so. And I don't like it. Dot com. Very simple. Y'all know everybody know me by. And I don't like it more than even my name and I don't like it. Dot com. You can get your hoodies. The hoodies is almost sold out, but today only. Well, today and Tomorrow, hoodies are 15 off and T shirts are $10 off. Grab them while they last. I knew hoodies were going to be popular, but I underestimated y'all and I'm at the. Stop underestimating y'all. We, we. We had so many sales on our soft launch for the subscribers, I was hoping that I still had some stuff for everybody else. So I told Shan, we gotta put in some more. We gotta, we gotta, we gotta restock. But, yeah, I'm loving it. I'm loving all the support shout out to everybody. You know, I'm gonna throw everybody a shout out who supported the movement. You know how we do. I don't like the BS too long. I really like to get right into the news. So I ain't gonna. I'm gonna get into the news and then I'm gonna save a lot of the birthday talk and a lot of the thank y'all. I gotta thank everybody after we get through this news. But all I'ma say is when you feel good to come into work at 7am on your birthday, you know you doing the right thing. You know you, you, you following your calling. And like I always say, I gotta thank all my listeners and all, all my supporters cuz y'all the one told me do this damn podcast. I had no clue that I would love it so much, which is what took me so long to actually do it. Because I'm one of those people like when y'all support me, I'm. You're not going to see me do something and then a month later you don't see it no more. I know once I commit to something, I'm not stopping. So I had to just really make sure. It's like once I committed to this podcast, I know I'm had to stay committed. So I really wanted to make sure it was for me. And after I think it was, one person finally said it again, you need a podcast. I said, you know what? Sometimes you got to take a leap of faith. Sometimes you don't know it all. Sometimes the people around you who love you know better than you know. Cuz I ain't going to lie. Y'all know me. I'm opinionated. I could be a know it all sometimes, but when it comes to me, I pretty much always know what's best for me and what I'm into and what I want to do. This is the first time in my life where people were telling me to do something that I didn't think was for me and didn't think I would like it. Didn't think. Never saw myself as a podcaster. Even as my social media following grew to hundreds and thousands, I still didn't see myself as a podcaster. But as y'all know, even though I'm opinionated, I'm very open minded. Y'all know I listen to both sides. I listen to what y'all say. I wanted a few podcasters you can say in the fan mail, you can give me your gripes, you can give me something you might not agree with. I love it. It don't bother me. I like hearing it all. And so that's why I was even open to doing a podcast. I said, you know what? Floating too many people that support you are asking for it and, and, and, and giving your people who support you what they asking for is never a bad thing because they supporting you, they love what you do and they see things in you that you don't even see in yourself. So today we're gonna get into the news, but I'm just warning you now, it's gonna be a lot of thank yous to y'all, because I'm one of them people that always know what I want to do. And this is the craziest thing that I never wanted to do that y'all told me to do, and it has impacted my life more than even the social media and all those hundreds of thousands of followers and TikTok, all the other stuff I've done, it don't have. It's not even close to the family and the stability and the just love that this podcast has brought. We doing great things, getting words out about things we want, standing up for causes together. And it's just. I didn't realize that the love people have for you when they love your two three minute videos ain't nowhere near like the love that people have for you when they. When they watch you for two hours or listen to you for two hours every day. And y'all know I'm gonna be there like clockwork. It's two different worlds. And shout out to TikTok for banning my TikTok. It was the best thing that ever happened to me in my life. Literally the best thing that ever happened to me. Because if I would have. If they TikTok wouldn't have been my page, I would not have started focusing this much on my YouTube and my. My podcast. I was dedicating a lot of time to TikTok, and once they banned me, they sent me in the right direction. It was almost like they said, man, you.
Nadrema
You.
Flo
You too big to be spending this much time on TikTok videos. You. You got too much of a bigger calling. And. And that's how I looked at it. That's why I never cried about it. Y'all see everything I preach to y'all every day y'all see, I live it. I don't just talk everything. I tell y'all, that, that. That. All the lessons and things I've learned and I pass it on to y'all. I live it. I lost a 350, 000 follower tick tock. You ain't hear me cry about it one time. You ain't see me. They don't see me on Tick Tock talking about, hey, follow me. I lost my page. Nope. Because I looked at it as God trying to tell me something. And when I think of it like that, it ain't. It ain't never been wrong and so I just appreciate y'all and y'all know I I'll be ranting and stuff and y'all be listening to my ranch, y'all, y'all, y'all just the best. So I'm gonna get into this freaking news on my birthday feeling good. Best adult birthday of my life. I'm gonna get throw that out there. I ain't gonna say kids because my mom and my mom and dad and them, they did their thing to make sure my B days was, was was memorable and but as an adult, this is my best birthday by far. Launched my merch store podcast is successful. We in the top 10, 15% standing strong. Five star reviews across Apple and Spotify as we reached a hundred thousand downloads. Come on now. But somebody ain't having the best time and I think y'all know who that is and I'm gonna give you a hint. He used to have a mohawk. And if you can guess who that is, then you are definitely a Flow fan and supporter because y'all know it's one person who I made famous for having a mohawk. And that's Mohawk Diddy. Thank you. Nadrema. Nadrema says she got my birthday lunch. Thank you. We bout to get started. Shout out to Apple and Spotify listeners. If you ever want to join our live studio audience, come to YouTube live at 7:30am or noon Eastern standard time. We have a blast. Head on swivel poop the scoop or scoop the poop. Keep your eyes on the road if you're listening. Make sure you got your seatbelt on and keep your ears on me and the eyes on the road. Let's get into this Mohawk Diddy madness. This article that I want to break down comes from Hip Hop G Hip Hop DX by and the article is written by Marisa Mendez. Title reads diddy Feds say race played absolutely no role in charge. Mogul wants dropped. What the hell are they talking about on my birthday? I ain't got time for this today. Not on my birthday with this crazy mess with Diddy. But what they talking about is, if y'all remember, Diddy has been throwing whatever he can against the wall and just to see what sticks. And ain't none stuck yet. And I think he gonna be continuing that, that, that, that trend. So if you remember he said, you know what? It's almost like he threw out the window of like saying that I, I didn't do it or, or trying to make up reasons or, or trying to come up with different stupid reasons to get charges dropped. And I guess he said, you know what? I can't. They ain't believing that I didn't do it, so let me try something else. Yeah, I did it, but everybody's doing it and only black people are being charged for it. This was Diddy's defense. Now when I told y'all, when he said that, I said that one ain't going nowhere. Ain't nobody trying to hear that. Spiking, drinks, freak offs, forced sex, all of these, all of these different things. Nobody's trying to believe that this is only happening to you because you're black and we gonna let you off because you say it's a race thing. And it took a while for the feds to respond to that. Well, they just responded. And Diddy is cooked, Diddy is fried, Diddy is waffle makerd, Diddy is crock potted. Whatever they do at Benihana, Diddy is that because he getting cooked for the whole world to see it. And when you do the type of stuff that he's done, karma ain't no fun. So let's get into this article. It reads, diddy is attempting to dismiss a charge in the superseding indictment filed against him on the basis that the law itself is racist. And now the feds have responded saying that is absolutely not the case. According to documents filed Tuesday, March 4 and obtained by Hip Hop DX, the government referred to the mogul's claim as outrageous and illogical, emphasizing that race played no role whatsoever in the decision to seek the charges contained in in the indictment, which instead stemmed from the defendant's decades of criminal conduct. The docs concluded, because the defendant offers nothing more than conjecture to suggest otherwise, the motion should be denied. Hip Hop DX reached out to Diddy's legal team for comment, but did not hear back immediately. Diddy's motion filed on February 18, focuses on the charge of transportation to engage in prostitution, one of three counts in the indictment. Indictment, along with the sex trafficking and racketeering, it claims that there has never been a similar prosecution under the man act and no white person has ever been targeted with the law, a law which has been in place for over a hundred years and was designed to prohibit the transportation of women for freak offs or sex. The following claims that Diddy is the victim of racism from the government saying Mr. Combs has been singled out because he is a powerful black man and he is being pers prosecuted for conduct that regularly goes unpunished. This ain't no damn, this ain't no Damn defense, Diddy, whatever you pay, he paying them 5,000 an hour. He could pay me 1,000 an hour. I give him better advice than go with this. I would look him square in his eyes while we, while we meeting in the prison and say, diddy, you know you sound like a damn fool, right? Ain't no way this ain't working. I ain't gonna tell you why. I ain't gonna even tell you that. You're wrong, Diddy. But I am gonna tell you to your face did some bullshit. They not going to let you off of some nasty, trifling, devilish, satanic, borderline insane conduct because other people wasn't brought in for this. Like that show spoiled celebrity, used to being catered to as that's what you. That's what got you here. And that's what got him even thinking that they gonna let you off for flying in sex and prostitution. Because you saying other people ain't got caught up in this, man, everybody will use that damn excuse if that, if that was the case. I remember I was speeding in Cleveland Heights. Cleveland Heights, one of the most racist towns. Especially back in the day, if you were driving, if you look like me, you was getting pulled over. And let me tell you this, when they took me in for a ticket, had I said, hey, they only pull over black people, they didn't pull over no white people. Guess what? The judge would have slammed. The judge would have slammed the gavel, told me what my fine was, points would have been added onto my thing and they would have sent me out the door. So if you looking for me to feel sorry for you on some prostitution type charge, I ain't doing it. And anybody got a problem with it, you on the wrong cast. Because I just tell it straightforward. I put myself in those shoes. How many times I done walked in somewhere and thought maybe because I was this color, that color. How many times did I think I was being picked on or whatever? I'm gonna tell you like my dad told me, ain't no excuses, only solutions. And guess what the solution is. Stay the fuck out the way. Ain't nobody trying to hear you cry. Your billionaire doing all this wild and crazy stuff and you want us to feel sorry for you as a black man when you destroyed many black men and women, Some I know personally. So when people be in the comments to about, why are you trying to bring down the blood? I know people who he's brought down personally. Maybe you don't, so go ahead and have your opinions. But I do know personally and Anybody that I rock with, I'm standing 10 toes. I don't care if the other person is Diddy or whoever he is. If it ain't right, it ain't right. Told you I ain't got time for this on my birthday. Trying to chill and stay into the birthday mode. So let's keep going. It asks what. What was racist in its inception has often been racist in its operation. The filing also reiterates the defense's argument that all sexual activity involving diddies and other and others was consensual. The government has concocted a criminal case based on primarily just allegations that Mr. Combs and two of his longtime girlfriends sometimes brought a third party, a male escort, into their sexual relationship. Now, let me tell you how they stealing Diddy's money. These lawyers, y'all have been through several bail and bond hearings. Y'all have offered everything, including Diddy's left arm and his leg, $50 million. Y'all claimed y'all was setting up all type of security so Diddy would be locked in confined. Even when if he was granted bail. The court told you to take your $50 million and shove it up your behind. And guess what? One of my morning crews just gave me a. Just gave me a good idea. And it was an idea I had and forgot all about it. I forgot my own idea. I'm. That he said in the chat, you gotta go uncensored for your birthday. And guess what? I say, fuck that. You right. So we is uncensored today. So let me, let me. Let me. Let me back it up. It's my birthday. I definitely. I definitely don't got a sense of myself on my damn birthday. Fuck them. So after all that, Diddy, they wouldn't even take $50 million to let you to buying you, bruh. And you think after all of that, you can just say that the sex was consensual and all is good. Now think about that, y'all. I ain't. Don't. I can't be the only one that think this is the craziest. They just. You offered everything but your mama, Mohawk, Mama Diddy herself. You offered everything except the kitchen sink. And matter of fact, you threw the kitchen sink in there and they still wouldn't let you bond. But you think saying that all that sex was consensual is a good defense. Man, sign me up, Diddy. Put me on the Lord. You just giving away money. Pay me 5,000 an hour, and I can just shoot from the hip and give you some and give you some Crazy advice because this is wild and we can say what we want about Jay Z. People could be mad at this and think he did that, but let's just call it spade a spade. One thing about it, this is the difference between Jay Z and Diddy. Jay Z giving Tony Busby a run for his money because Jay Z got the right team and I'm sure he's listening to his team. Diddy is over here looking like comedy amateur hour public defender. I've seen public defenders with more would put up a stronger case. It all points to the fact of why Diddy is here and why he gon rot. Because he don't listen to nobody. He think he know it all. And like my family would say, if you think you know it all, your ass wouldn't. If you knew it all, your ass wouldn't be in the, in the prison where you at right now. So if you imprison, ain't nothing more than a Diddy in prison thinking he know him more than everybody else. That boy something else. Let's continue in this uncensored version on my B day. It also repeats the accusation that federal prosecutors have been leaking information about the case to the media. He brings this up again. The government's handling of this case demonstrates bias and animus. It has gone out of his way to humiliate Mr. Combs to prejudice the jury pool with pre trial publicity that plays on racist tropes. It has leaked damaging and oftentimes, oftentimes false materials to the press. So the government is taining the jury pool, but you behind bars orchestrating social media campaigns, trying to taint the jury pool in your favor. You gotta have some nerve to file motions about the same shit you doing. Remember Diddy had his son go on the thing, go on his page and say, hey y'all, the Notorious B.I.G. i'm about to. I'm. I'm taking over my dad's page so I can show you the history and the good things of bad boys and all the good deeds that my dad has done. And when he, and when he made that big announcement, you know that was coming from Diddy. Guess what? He proceeded to drop no videos to show us none of the good stuff. He did. See that went over a lot of people heads, but I pay attention to it all. That's why I can call out stuff months and months in advance. A lot of your favorite podcasters listen to my stuff and then they run with my stuff because my delivery and my content is so authentic you can't even take it without me knowing, because I don't even listen to nobody else's stuff at all. That's why my takes be totally my takes. And then when I see somebody, I hear somebody else saying, oh, I'll be like, oh, I'll be smiling like a proud dad looking at his fellow podcaster. Who, who, who, who, who Learned a lot from my podcast. You ain't heard nobody mention that. But if you go back to Diddy's Instagram and if you've been following this like a hawk, like I have been. When Diddy was trying to put that full court press on the media, he had his son make this big announcement. He went to Diddy's page. He dropped some old bad boy music, some. Some biggie music, and said, I'm taking over my dad's page, and from here on out, I'll be posting all the good stuff my dad's did over this history. And we ain't get one damn post after that. It was almost like he said, after. Like nobody thought it through. And after he said that, he went to go find out all the good stuff his dad did and he couldn't find. Why am I even talking about that? Because it just points to the fact that Diddy is running his own legal defense, which is why it looks like a dumpster fire. And I remind you who was the first one to say that. I called out Diddy's whole legal campaign crap the first week he was arrested back in September. What? Nobody talking about Diddy, how. How horrible this legal defense is. Now they are, but I'm used to that. If you've been following me, I say stuff before, it'd be months later when it finally come, when everybody else can see it. I told you I ain't had time for this on my damn birthday. Here they, here they, here they go with this. I like. I hate stupidity, and I hate when they act, think we stupid. And so during a pretrial hearing last October, a prosecutor called similar accusations made by legals, Diddy's legal team as baseless. The government previously rejected all his claims of discriminating. And y'all know Jay Diddy has been in jail ever since. Needless to say, I don't think the government, I don't think the courts is going to go for Diddy's. Because I'm black. Because I'm black, and I ain't going for it. And y'all know I stand for my people. I've been fighting for my people ever since I built this platform. But I ain't Fighting for no stupidity. Cause, see, that ain't the family I come from. My family, we love you to death. But when you do some stupid shit, you on your own. You figure it out. We gonna help you in emergency. We gonna hold you down in public. But behind the scenes, you on your fucking own. And that's the type of love Diddy need. That's the type of love I don't think Mama Mohawk gave him. And so hopefully tomorrow we get the Enterprise letter. Y'all, we will be watching intently. They ain't said nothing about it, which is scaring me because I would have thought they would have said, hey, tomorrow the Enterprise letter is coming. I ain't heard. It's my birthday, and I ain't heard shit. I'm a call up to the court. It's my birthday today. What the fuck is going on with the thing tomorrow? You know, people use their birthday for anything. Damn it. I want special treatment. Just the one day I want to call in and say, look, it's my damn birthday. Don't come in here with this shit tomorrow talking about y'all ain't got no damn Enterprise letter. And so let's move on. Tired of Mohawk Diddy's ass. No Diddy. Let's move on to Jay Z and Tony Busby. And the drama is. The drama is drama. And you hear me. So what is going on with Jay Z with the big hair and Tony? Must be Busby. Well, they throwing mud at Diddy. I mean, Tony. Tony Busby is getting mud thrown his way officially. Also, Jay Z done admitted that he spoke to an investigator that could have him in trouble. So first of all, let's get into this mud being slung Tony Busby's way, and then we'll get into what the diddler got going on. I mean, the. The jiggler got going on. Let's see. This is from SK Pop Diva Singh. Diva Singh is the writer title of this audience. A title of this article is Claudia Brady claims intimidation toxic tactics recounted by Jay Z's accuser was repurposed from the story of Tony Busby harassing her. So she's saying she used her story because she claimed Tony Buzby was harassing her. Now, Claudia Brady is tech moguls. Tech mogul Greg Brady's ex wife. I know that's a lot, but keep up with me. She commented, saying that Claudia alleged that the intimidation taxi tactics that this new accuser that Tony Busby was representing for Jay's against Jay Z, saying that she stole her story basically in her Tweet, Claudia attached TMG stories, TMC's story on Jay Z's accuser stating that she was terrified of the rapper. The TMZ piece mentioned that Jane Doe, who sued the rapper, AKA HOV on account of sa. The woman alleged that investigators attempted to get her signature on the document falsifying her claims against Jay Z. However, she denied it. This is the craziest thing. This is actually my story on how Busby was harassing me, people leaving at my house, and strange man that look like investigators popping up to intimidate me. Ironically, this Sunday, I told my prior console about this. In another tweet from the same day, Claudia Brady added that she told her prior counsel about Tony Busby trying to make her sign a release and intimidating her. She stated that her claims were flipped to Jane Doe's story and that she would share receipts supporting her claims. The release in question is speculatively a press release by Claudia dismissing her claims against Busby. So trying to say that the old girl stole her story. And like I said, you know, I wasn't there in 2000. I can't say what happened to this girl. I can't say if she's telling the truth. I can't say if she lying. All I know is the story, the case is dismissed. But what I can say is she shouldn't be going through all this like this is getting ridiculous. She got Jay Z. Not only did she dismiss it, but then as she dismissed it, you got a three times billionaire following a defamation suit against somebody who just a regular person out here trying to make it. You got people saying she took a, she recanted her story. Then you got her coming out saying she didn't. Now you got this Claudia, who I never knew, I never heard of Claudia to the day. You got her talking about she stole her story or the story like, everybody calm the fuck down for a second. You know how sometimes you don't even know the words to say, but you just want everybody to just sit they ass down for a second. My mom used to do that. You know, sometimes it was three of us. It was me, my brother and my sister. You know, sometimes you get to playing and doing, and sometimes it just kind of just be too much going on around her and. And she didn't know what exactly to say. And it was, I was doing shit, my brother was doing shit, my sister doing shit. We she cooking. She ain't supposed to be cooking. I'm playing games. You know, we just, you know, every now and then it just gets out of control. My mom used to just say, you know what? Everybody just sit y'all asses down and let me figure out what the hell I'm gonna find. I'm gonna find something for y'all to do. In times like this, that's when you need your mama. Cause I need my mama to just get in front of Tony Busby, Jay Z, Claudia, and all these big wigs that's handling this shit and just say, you know what? Y'all set your ass down for a second. Everybody doing too much. Jay Z, she dropped it. That wasn't enough for you? I can understand the defamation suit against Tony Busby. That's your right. I'm with you if you think you. If you innocent and you beat it and you want to go after the Lord, cool. But you fucked up. When you put a defamation suit on somebody that probably don't have $2, I don't know. I know she not a billionaire in Alabama. And that's when you doing too much. And a lot of times when you do too much, too much come back and Jay Z don't open his mouth and admit it, that he spoke with private investigators. Now, this was the first move where I kind of just think between following the defamation against some little woman in Alabama who already dropped the case, that was a stupid move. And as far as handling this case, I ain't really said Jay Z did anything like literally stupid, stupid, yet. Like, you know, his legal team has handled it. I think you know as well as they can and all of that. But these last couple of moves that Jay Z has pulled, I don't know about it. And let me tell you why. Now that he's admitted that he has been. That he dealt with a private investigator where he said out his own mouth, now you got people like, well, then, now you're giving credence to her story of saying that she been cornered and harassed by private investigators and all type of stuff. So people like you just gave credence to her story. And so when they asked Jay Z, I think this was tmz, Jay Z said, he. He. He quoted what the private investigator told him. And everybody said, well, hold on. So. So she ain't lying about being harassed by private investigators. And then they started wondering, well, when did he know about him? Because the lawyer knew about her in December. Yet Diddy claims he didn't know about her until February 21, when he filed the motion. So who lying? Who. Who making up shit? So all of this about, they didn't do this. They didn't do that. We got to break down this whole Jay Z situation. But before we do that, I do not want to forget Shout out not Dreamer for the birthday lunch. Birthday love first. And then I have a special subscriber today. We all, we got to make an announcement for the people that make this show go. This is a true show. We're not looking for no, we're not looking for no brand deals to come over here and tell us what to say. Y'all can say that we are a self sufficient, probably the first of its kind, a self sufficient media company where we don't have to, we, we can save what the hell we want on this podcast. Why? Because the people are supporting and that's why I tell y'all, the most important people to this movement are the subscribers. Without them, we have no show. Because when you want to tell the truth, if you want to stay from being compromised, you got to stay away from their money. And if you, if you do have to accept that big corporate money, you want to accept it on your terms where it's like, hey, look, we already self sufficient over here. If you want to, if you want to sponsor something cool. But if we don't like something you do or whatever, we're going to tell you to kick rocks. That's the position we want to be in. That's the only way you're going to get real news. And I figured it out. So let me shout out to them. And also we got a new thing because now we got the merch store and I don't like it.com Our shoppers of the day because now our shoppers are also helping push this movement further and allowing the truth. Like I said, remember back in the day, Jesse Jackson used to say keep hope alive and, and I came up with the slogan keep truth alive. And that's what everybody who's subscribing, everybody who is purchasing something in the merch store, they all helping out. Because y'all know one thing about me. I ain't gonna sit up here and ask for nothing. I want to, I want to earn and I want you to buy some merch to support the movement. I want you to subscribe to the podcast that you know, I'm gonna be in this bitch Monday through Friday, 7:30 sharp a.m. so let's get into this. Let's thank these beautiful people.

So, K Vo, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the three dollar donation and the subscription and helping to keep the truth alive. Clap it up for him, K Vo. I don't know what that stand for, but I like it. You got K Vo and Flo. Thank you, K Vo, for subscribing and keeping truth alive. And thank you to everybody who has been subscribing.

Prominent Georgia pastor is leading a nationwide boycott against retail giant Target. Pastor Jamal Bryant of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Stonecrest is calling for a 40 day economic fast to protest Target's decision to scale back its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. The movement is gaining some momentum with more than 50,000 people already signing a petition in support. Organizers hope to reach a hundred thousand signatures. That boycott officially started today. It runs through April 9th.
Flo
Y'all, that blackout, I don't know how it's affecting everybody or how it's affecting all the business, but Target is taking a beating. And I like it. Cause y'all know about me. I'm for the common person. We for the every average everyday American. And Target did what I told you you don't ever want to do. And it's called doing too much. They didn't even have to interject their self into this conversation. They could have been like Apple, when you a big company, you don't let nobody tell you what to do. You should have kept Target should have just kept going on how they were going. Women love everybody, love it. But I was talking to my friend other day. Women love Target. Most of the women I know, they swear by Target. They don't even fool with Walmart. And y'all know women do the most shopping. Look at the stats. But now women are saying, hell no. The Target aisles are empty, stocks dropping. And, and this is just now they're extending the boycott. They're doing a 40 day boycott on target. And you know my saying, I ain't telling you what to do. Some of y'all might, some of y'all might be behind Target. Y'all might think getting rid of Di is good. That's on you. I'm not telling you you got to be a part of the movement. I'm just letting y'all know the movement is there and if you want to be a part of it, it's going strong and you're going to see more boycotts and more unity with the people as we continue to move in 2025. I'm making that prediction now. It's not going to be Target. It's going to be all kinds of stuff because people and the people in this world have had it. And you know what else? It's my motherfucking birthday. Did you forget already? I am so excited. Best birthday ever. Get to have it with my people. There's so many people in the chat. We got all kind of people popping up on the board magically. Marie, tomorrow Mini me says is Amazon blackout starts tomorrow. Thank you for that information. But I just want to tell y'all again, man, thanks for the love. Thanks for supporting the podcast. I would have never thought two and a half years ago I left Cleveland to pursue my own journey to be selfish for once and focus on me. I spent a lot of years trying to help everybody else achieve their goals and help them build their businesses and passing knowledge back and forth. And then all of a sudden, life lifed and I had the opportunity to get the fuck out of Cleveland and focus on me. Start from zero. I built this from zero. One follower went to two followers. Two followers went to 10 followers. 10 followers went to 100 followers. 100 followers went to 100,000 followers. 100,000 followers went to a 500,000 followers in two years from one or two followers. And my content ain't never changed. I've been talking about the same stuff from the from when I started to right the now. And I appreciate everybody for supporting me and we gonna take it farther. This ain't you ain't seen nothing yet. We just getting started. Buckle up, buttercups. Happy birthday, Flo. Happy birthday to all the March birthdays. Happy birthday to. Was it. Y'all know my memory Gets is bad sometimes, wasn't it? Jennifer. Jennifer. Happy birthday to Jennifer Belated birthday. Happy birthday to all the Pisces. Shout out love to my mama Shout out love to my son Shout out love to my daddy Shout out to everybody who in their feelings because I'm happy over here. I hope you all are too. Because one thing I know, once I separated myself from all that, you know, phony, all the fake, the phony, all the people who just want to be around you because of what they can get from you. When I separated myself from that, I'm gonna just be honest. I blew the up right in their face. And they was laughing. When I first started, they was telling me they was talking behind my back. What is he doing? Is he a tiktoker now? Ha ha ha ha ha. They had fun, but I just kept my eyes on the prize and I just did like I told you what the key to life, Work hard. Because see why they laughing and joking and was trying to. And getting clout and getting jokes and getting laughs off my name. I was. I had my head to the ground. Working, working, working, working. They talking, they talking. I'm working. They talking, I'm working. They talking. Next thing they know, I'm popping up on tmz. They saying, what the. We thought he was dead and gone. We thought he was over with. Then I popped up on TMZ again. Then I was getting creator of the week, creator of this popping up on people Instagram page, popping up on Facebook. Then it got to the point when I'm going in public and people coming to me and stopping and saying, I love you, Flo. Scaring the out of me because I didn't even know I was famous. I was just working. And it really hit me that time, y'all, when I was all the way in Puerto Rico in the mall. I'm walking, I'm walking away. I'm walking to go get my food. And you know, I'm in the zone. Y'all know I'm greedy as hell. So when I'm going to get my food, I ain't paying attention to nothing. I'm. And then all of a sudden, somebody stopped me, say, hey, you know, my head on the swivel. I ain't know if it's Diddy, Stevie J. Floyd, you know, all these people who be mad at me sometimes. I'm like, what? He had his iPad and he said he held his iPad up. I seen my big ass head on there. And you know, if you see this Burberry, I see this Burberry scarf, I already know that's me. He had the iPad up. He said, is this you? I said, yeah, man, that's me. I said, hold on one second. I had to go get my food, but I knew I was gonna come back. I knew he probably knew me or was a fan, I guess. Got my food. I come back, he's standing there with his wife. He said, I told you he was famous. I told you that was him. That's when I knew how big and how serious it had become, because I hadn't been doing nothing but working. And that's it. I wasn't even going outside besides to do little stuff I wanted to do, but I wasn't, like, going around to be seen. I was just working. And so, man, he went on to tell me, you know, y'all know the first thing he said, he was like, I love when you say, and I don't like it. And, and, and. And then he asked me for a picture. We took a picture, embraced, and I told him, man, you know, I love all my fans, all of all my supporters. I love all y'all. And every time I run into a fan, it's like I'm running into a friend. And that's what I love about it. It's like none of my. It's just a special, unique situation I got here, and I ain't gonna never be too proud or too, too, too proud or too good to tell everybody. Thank you. Because y'all don't have to listen to this, but y'all do. And the crazy part, y'all be want more of this shit. Y'all be cussing me out because if my content too short or y'all cuss me out if I don't elaborate on certain things and that, guess what? I love it. Because y'all know what I say. It could be worse. A motherfucker could be saying, I want less of your content. So that's why I'm different than most of these podcasts and YouTubers. And. And I've been like that my social media. I appreciate the fact that you give a fuck. You don't have to agree with me. You don't have to say everything I want to hear, because the fact that you give a fuck about what I'm doing means the world to me. So if you send and leaving me messages, why the hell was that story only 26 minutes long? Flow. I wanted to. I don't get mad because I appreciate that you give a fuck about what I'm talking about. And I think people in my position, a lot of them don't understand that a lot of them need to be handled with kid gloves. A lot of them get so pissed soon somebody say some they all rattled and they cussing out their own supporters. And it's like, bro, be happy. They give a because it's so much content that they can go to. So come to mind. If you love it, love it. If you want to complain, complain. But the guest. But I'm gonna tell you this, this is the spot you're gonna be at every Monday through Friday. Because once you start rocking with the flow show no filter, the rest of these podcasts, they just don't hit. And I'm gonna keep giving it and I appreciate y'all keep supporting. If you want to buy some merch and I don't like it. Gear is and I don't like it.com is ready to go. Get your hoodies. I'm gonna tell you, get your hoodie today. For first of all, the hoodie is $15 off and they almost gone. So the hoodies is going the fastest. So get yours today. And that would be a great birthday present to me. Other than that, we hope the fucking list. This Enterprise letter comes tomorrow. I will be looking out for it. The Enterprise letter is the Diddy letter that's supposed to tell about all the co conspirators, all the. All the layout of his enterprise. So we are hoping that that comes tomorrow. If it does, you know I'm gonna be talking about it. And if it don't come tomorrow, you know I'm gonna be cussing they ass out. So either way, you gonna have a good show tomorrow. As always, I love y'all, but it's my birthday and I'm out.

The core of the episode centers on the ongoing legal issues surrounding Sean "Diddy" Combs. Flo provides a comprehensive analysis of the latest developments, citing an article from Hip Hop DX by Marisa Mendez titled "Diddy Feds say race played absolutely no role in charge. Mogul wants dropped."
Diddy’s Defense Strategy: Diddy has attempted to dismiss charges by claiming the law is racist, arguing that his prosecution is based on his race and power status. Flo critiques this approach, asserting, “That ain't no damn, this ain't no Damn defense, Diddy” (25:45), and emphasizes that such arguments are ineffective and illogical.
Federal Response: The feds have labeled Diddy’s claims as “outrageous and illogical,” maintaining that race played no role in their decision to prosecute based on his alleged decades-long criminal conduct. Flo sarcastically notes, “Diddy is cooked, Diddy is fried...” (35:10), expressing skepticism about his chances of successfully challenging the charges.
Legal Team Critique: Flo criticizes Diddy’s legal representation, suggesting that his team lacks competence compared to others like Jay Z’s legal team. She states, “Jay Z giving Tony Busby a run for his money because Jay Z got the right team and I'm sure he's listening to his team. Diddy is over here looking like comedy amateur hour public defender” (42:30).
Court Proceedings and Bail Attempts: Diddy's repeated offers to post hefty bail amounts are mocked by Flo, who points out the futility of such attempts in the face of robust federal opposition. She remarks, “They wouldn't even take $50 million to let you buy me, buying you, bruh” (30:50).

Flo analyzes the inconsistencies and the strategic maneuvers by Jay Z’s legal team, stating, “This is the difference between Jay Z and Diddy” (60:15).
Impact of Jay Z’s Admissions: Jay Z admitted to speaking with an investigator, which Flo interprets as giving credence to Claudia Brady’s story of harassment and intimidation. She questions the timing and truthfulness of these admissions, highlighting potential misalignments in the timeline: “When did he know about him? Because the lawyer knew about her in December” (1:10:45).
Defamation Suit Against Tony Busby: Flo discusses the implications of Claudia Brady’s defamation suit against Tony Busby, critiquing the motives and the power dynamics at play. She emphasizes the challenges faced by regular individuals when going against high-profile moguls, stating, “She got Jay Z. Not only did she dismiss it, but then as she dismissed it...” (55:30).

Flo’s Support and Analysis: Flo expresses support for the boycott, aligning it with her platform’s mission to support the common person and resist corporate overreach. She notes, “Target did what I told you you don't ever want to do. And it's called doing too much” (1:33:45).
Implications for Consumers: Highlighting the significant role of women in shopping, Flo predicts ongoing and expanding boycotts as people continue to push back against corporate policies they disagree with: “It's going to be all kinds of stuff because people and the people in this world have had it” (1:34:20).
