Morning Stress and Project Release
00:00:01
Speaker
Hello, y'all, or good should I say good morning? Should I just be different? Today, it is 604 a.m. Pacific time, and I have been up since 4 a.m., basically bullshitting for the most part online, and I'm definitely feeling stressed.
00:00:28
Speaker
because because I have a very big, arguably, well, arguably, I have the biggest project of my life coming out next year, fairly early next year. And you would think you would assume that because I knew this was coming, that I would have already invested in headshots.
Unprepared for a Professional Headshot
00:01:00
Speaker
I got ah an email a few hours ago at straight up like 3.39 a.m. 4 a.m. asking me to send my headshot and send my bio. So I wrote my bio like a week ago because somebody wanted it different, not in connection to this particular person, but in connection to the same project.
00:01:29
Speaker
So i sent I wrote and sent my bio. Now I'm being asked for a headshot. So I do not have a headshot. I have a photo that I think is a nice photo. It's definitely not a headshot. It's not a headshot. I can edit the photo.
00:01:53
Speaker
to remove the background because I took this show the show I took the photo while at a show and like the staging of the show is in the background anyways I could like remove the background and shit but like I'm pissed
00:02:17
Speaker
because I just didn't even think about how I need a headshot. And I'm so pissed.
00:02:26
Speaker
OMG. Lord have mercy. It's funny, like the things that could be an oversight, the things that you should be thinking about first.
00:02:39
Speaker
How the hell, like I just assumed I could take a headshot closer to the release or closer to the project date. That obviously makes absolutely no sense in hindsight. So I'm just, the headshot obviously is not the end of the world, but.
00:03:04
Speaker
that big of a deal if I could edit what I have, which is again, not a headshot. It's not a professional headshot. But I don't know, I'm just, I'm a little panicked and freaked out and weirded out. So it's just, I have so much on me and it's it's really getting to crunch time. Really, really getting like bottom of the A Inning three men on base and I'm going up to bat. And, you know, what I do will determine if my team makes it to the World Series or not. The pressure is mounting. It is mounting anyway.
Humor on Rappers' Names
00:03:59
Speaker
am going to talk about Jay-Z before I talk about the story that I actually really care about, which I will be recording a separate episode for after this. But let's talk about Jay-Z, Sean Carter, white ass name, Sean Carter. Like, it's so funny how many rappers have very white names and that's why they have their little stage names and you know what's funny is I'm I have TMZ pulled up right in front of me on my laptop and it's a photo of Jay-Z standing next to ugly ass rat face Diddy
00:04:42
Speaker
And it just occurred to me that Jay-Z and Diddy have the same name. And I know I'm not the only special needs person up in this bitch. Did y'all think about that? Sean Carter and Sean Combs, that's the same first name, just different spelling. And how many people be spelling their names Sean S-E-A-N? I think that's so uncommon.
00:05:09
Speaker
or more common abroad. But Sean, I always feel should be the S H A W N. But it's funny because Sean is like as white as it gets. like Again, these rappers seriously have some white ass names and it's just amusing. So I will tell you what you already know. I will get into what TMZ is reporting.
00:05:33
Speaker
and I will give my two cents after but I will not be reading the entire post.
Lawsuit Against Jay-Z and Diddy
00:05:39
Speaker
Basically, a Jane Doe, which means the public doesn't know her name as of yet claims that Sean Combs Diddy and Sean Carter Jay Z raped her when she was 13 years old after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. She claims that this happened at an after party.
00:06:09
Speaker
following the award show. So initially, initially the accuser filed a lawsuit against Diddy in October. And ah she said that Diddy and an unnamed celebrity producer assaulted her.
00:06:30
Speaker
and that in an unnamed female watched the assault taking place. So now the accuser is saying that Jay-Z also raped her. So let's see here. One second.
Jay-Z's Denial and Legal Integrity
00:06:53
Speaker
All right, so then Jay Z issued a statement. I saw somebody online saying Jay Z thinks he's smart, but he's actually really stupid and about how his lawyers must be upset that he issued a statement. You know, I just don't think it's fair for us to act as though celebrities are not allowed to behave like civilians.
00:07:16
Speaker
If somebody is publicly accusing you of something horrendous, of doing something horrendous when you have a daughter of the same age, almost. Blue Ivy is 12, I think. I think she'll turn 13 in like May or June or some shit. I guess I could double check one second, but you can't be having a 12 year old daughter and then get accused. Exactly. I was correct. She is 12 years old. You cannot have a 12 year old daughter and have somebody accuse you of raping someone at 13 years old. Like you're going to want to speak out simply because like you have a daughter who is almost the same age as the accuser.
00:08:12
Speaker
So let's read ah what Mr. Rockefeller has to say, or Roc Nation, sorry, has to say about this lawsuit. Jay-Z posted, quote, my lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter,
00:08:35
Speaker
from a lawyer named Tony Busby. What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny ah scrutiny would make me want to settle. No sir, it had the opposite effect. It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a very public fashion.
00:08:58
Speaker
So no, I will not give you one red penny. These allegations are so high in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one. Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away. Would you not agree? These, would you not agree? who's Who talks like that?
00:09:20
Speaker
These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case. This lawyer, who I have done a bit of research on, seems to have a pattern of these type of theatrics.
00:09:34
Speaker
I have no idea how you have come to be such a deplorable human, Mr. Busby, but I promise you, I've seen your kind many times over. I'm more than prepared to deal with your type. You claim to be a Marine? Marines are known for their valor. You have neither honor nor dignity." That does sound like Jay-Z.
00:09:57
Speaker
My only heartbreak is for my family. My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims and explain the cruelty and greed of people. Jay-Z saying, the press is so funny to me.
00:10:21
Speaker
because like nobody says that anymore. The press is such a boomer ass thing to say. Like everybody says the media, like it's funny. Back to his post on Rock Nation.
00:10:36
Speaker
I mourn yet another loss of innocence. Children should not have to endure such at their young age. It is unfair to have to try to understand inexplicable degrees of malice meant to destroy families and human spirits.
00:10:53
Speaker
My heart and support goes out to true victims in the world who have to watch how their life story is dressed in costume for profitability by this ambulance chaser in a cheap suit.
00:11:12
Speaker
You have made a terrible error in judgment thinking that all celebrities are the same. I'm not from your world. I'm a young man who made it out of the project of Brooklyn. We don't play these types of games. We have very strict codes and honor. We protect children. You seem to exploit people for personal gain. Only your network of conspiracy theorists Fake physics will believe the idiotic claims you have levied against me that if not for the seriousness surrounding harm to kids would be laughable. I look forward to showing you just how different I am. Okay. yeah Okay. Mr.
Diddy's Lawyer on Publicity Stunt
00:12:02
Speaker
Beyonce Knowles Carter.
00:12:13
Speaker
So Diddy's lawyer basically like you do not want to be tied to a lawsuit with Diddy's law with Diddy because what his lawyer says has no credibility in the court of public opinion.
00:12:27
Speaker
Diddy's lawyer said, quote, This amended complaint in the recent extortion lawsuit against Mr. Busby exposes his barrage of lawsuits against Mr. Combs for what they are. Shameless publicity stunts designed to extract payments from celebrities who fear having lies spread about them. Just as lies have been spread about Mr. Combs, as his legal team has said before, Mr. Combs is full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone, man or woman, adult or minor." end quote
00:13:12
Speaker
So, of course, his lawyer has to say this, but I don't believe a word of what his lawyer said in regards to Diddy's behavior. This is straight up some R Kelly shit, in my opinion, allegedly. So, like, we're not buying that he never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone. He's always been an asshole.
00:13:32
Speaker
point blank period he was an asshole on reality TV and I can only imagine what type of piece of shit he is outside of reality TV and we got a little glimpse of that in the Cassie video his lawyer should just go ahead and said he didn't did he didn't assault Cassie either like you're wasting your keystrobes We don't fuck with Diddy. I'm sure he has maybe some people out there who think he's innocent or whatever, but I don't think the public is on Diddy's side. But so like he's weakening everything Jay-Z is saying because he's claiming that Diddy did nothing and he didn't even mention Jay-Z at all. But when you're linked to Diddy, you're like, it feels like you're guilty by association.
00:14:24
Speaker
So anyway, Tony, the what the lawyer who filed the lawsuit, issued a statement telling TMZ, Mr. Carter previously denied being the one who sued me in my firm. He even filed his frivolous case under pseudonym. What he fails To say in his recent statement is my firm sent his lawyer a demand letter on behalf of an alleged victim. And that victim never demanded a penny from him. Instead, she only sought a confidential ah confidential mediation. Since I sent the letter on her behalf, Mr. Carter has not only sued me, but he has tried to bully and harass me and this plaintiff. His conduct
00:15:19
Speaker
has had the opposite impact. She's emboldened. I'm very
Allegations of Harassment and Bullying
00:15:24
Speaker
proud of her resolve." So what do you all think? I'm not talking about Diddy because fuck that, fuck that, sorry excuse for a man. I'm talking about Jay-Z. What do you all think? Do you think Jay-Z is guilty? Do you think he's innocent? Now this lawyer's statement sounds very damning, saying that he tried Jay-Z tried to bully and harass the plaintiff. The reason why that doesn't, it shouldn't make everybody assume that Jay-Z is guilty, the reason why is because if the accuser is an alleged extortionist, then I think most people would want to bully and harass some the person who was trying to extort them out of money, a lot of money, and tarnish their name.
00:16:20
Speaker
I don't know Jay Z personally. I have seen him in person at an award show, but I do not know him personally. We ain't never who broke bread together. I love that phrase, break bread. ah like We don't say it enough.
00:16:43
Speaker
Me and Jay-Z, we didn't break bread together, okay? I never went to his famous ass rock nation brunches for the Grammys. I've never effed him. I'm not Becky with the good hair. We've never met or had a conversation.
00:17:02
Speaker
I don't know him. I'm saying all this because I don't know him. And I don't believe that that we always gotta be caping for all these celebrities that we ain't that we don't know and who don't know that we exist. That being said, do I believe that this story aligns with his public persona? Or persona? I think it's persona, persona, whatever.
00:17:29
Speaker
I do not, but I don't know him so I don't want to swear for him. Right? I don't want to swear up and down that he's innocent and he didn't do this. I don't know enough. I don't know who Jane Doe is. Don't know enough about this lawyer. Don't know why she decided to go from just going after Diddy to now going after Jay-Z. I do not know enough.
00:17:56
Speaker
What I do believe is that Jay-Z and Beyonce started fucking around. You know,
Speculation on Jay-Z and Beyoncé's Relationship
00:18:06
Speaker
she was very, very young, so around 2000. If not to in 2000, she would have been 18.
00:18:17
Speaker
he And I believe that Beyonce started fucking him it anywhere from 17 to 20. So anyways, I guess Beyonce, if he was fucking her doesn't really have much to do with this, but I don't think that there's, I don't even think that there's like substantial evidence if, if, if, if, if this happened. So I'm just really lost on how the accuser and her lawyer plan to prove
00:18:47
Speaker
The Diddy raped her, the Jay-Z raped her, how is she going to prove this? Did she actually complete a rape kit? Like, what are we talking about here? This is 24 years ago. ah So it's like if she don't got no proof, then it's like maybe she really is trying to just extort from Jay-Z and her Diddy.
Challenges of Proving Old Allegations
00:19:12
Speaker
it's really too soon for us to know what's going to happen here. I don't feel as though she has a strong case and I don't but necessarily believe that jay z Jay-Z did this. I don't believe it aligns with this character. I believe that other allegations would have already come out.
00:19:35
Speaker
But sometimes people are just always scared into silence. I don't know, but all I know is I don't feel like I should stand 10 toes down on Jay Z's innocence when I've never met him and don't know him. Like the standing with these celebrities is so fascinating and repetitious and lame in many, in many ways or in many instances.
00:20:05
Speaker
It's lame because as someone who has met a lot of these people, these celebrities are not who you think they are. That's their little curated manicured image, PR friendly image. You don't know these people. You don't know what type of psychopaths and sociopaths and narcissists they are behind closed doors. So do I think Jay-Z did this? No, but I also don't know him.
00:20:35
Speaker
And this was also 24 years ago. He is what, like, 52, 53? So he was, like, 30, pushing 30? He's probably evolved a lot since then. I love how he said my wife and my child, like, not name-dropping them. Like, we ain't know who they are.
00:20:58
Speaker
Yeah, I do feel bad for his kids because they don't know, no child wants to be associated with this, with their parents, no child. So they are innocent victims, but I just hope that celebrities especially will think about how decades later somebody can come for you.
Advice on Decency to Avoid Issues
00:21:25
Speaker
So if you don't want somebody to come for you decades later, just be a good, decent, halfway decent human being. All right, y'all, I have to go. I saw the story that I said I care about is about the shooter, the United Health War shooter, but I'm too backed up right now to to record that episode right now. But don't you worry, maybe there will be new There, maybe there will be new updates say anyways, by the time I record the story. Take care, talk to you soon, bye.
