Would Your Friends Help You Bury a Body?: The Story of Young Queso
What happens when your own father and project manager snitch on you in court? The shocking "Queso Trial" has captivated social media, showcasing an extraordinary case of betrayal where a young rapper faces murder charges while his closest associates turn state's witness.
We dive deep into this viral story, examining how the father—who only entered Queso's life after he secured a record deal—testified against his own son despite still facing 20 years in prison himself. Even more astounding is the self-proclaimed "project manager" of the murder who meticulously planned every detail, creating fake social media accounts to track the victim before completely folding under pressure and revealing everything to authorities.
Behind the sensational details lies a powerful lesson about choosing your associates wisely. Most people simply aren't built for criminal life or maintaining loyalty when faced with consequences. The stark contrast between the effort these individuals put into planning a crime versus how quickly they betrayed each other demonstrates why selective friendship is crucial in all aspects of life. Whether in business partnerships, personal relationships, or even hypothetical scenarios like "would your friend help you bury a body?"—knowing someone's true character before trusting them with your secrets could save you from devastating betrayal.

We're only seven months in. Is that the new trend? I don't know. I don't know what is going on with 2025, but it's, it's been a doozy for me. We still have so much time left. I don't like it.
Speaker 1:20 and I thought 2025 is going to be a great. Well, I'll go in every year like, oh, it's going to be a great year, it's going to be a great time, it's going to be my year. That's the reason why it's messing up, because y'all keep saying it's gonna be a great year, it's gonna be a great time, it's gonna be my year, it's gonna be a great time. That's the reason why it's messing up, because y'all keep saying it's gonna be my year, it's gonna be my. What are we supposed to say? Just say you're gonna ride the wave. Okay, maybe it's going all haywire because too many people are trying to make it theirs and it just needs to be its own. Okay, let's make a commitment in 2026. It's nobody's year. We're just happy that we made it everybody. Just be like we made it to 2026 and we're just gonna take it one day at a time, gonna make it. Yeah, we're gonna take it one day at a time because every day it's just something else. Crazy, it's something.
Speaker 1:Did you see that lady say I'll tell y'all what happened, but y'all gotta take me, y'all gotta take me out of jail first. What girl? What? Who said that? The galene maxwell, who is in jail with, with connected with jeffrey epstein. She basically came out, her lawyers came out yesterday and was like I mean, the gist of it is I'll tell y'all what happened, but y'all gotta I can't go to jail, y'all gotta get me out of jail first. What is happening? So I haven't been on that side of tiktok. I've been on a tiktok side of the um I'm probably gonna say his name the um queso trial. Oh, what is this? Just real quick, because it's a lot of layers.
Speaker 1:But the bottom line is is that somebody was shmurdered, as they say on tiktok, somebody was shmurdered. Y'all changing a letter. Apparently it works on tiktok, because if you say the other one, they're're going to be like we're taking this video down. Oh wow. So yeah, schmurder, somebody was schmurdered. But I can't say that, but never mind, don't even worry. Yeah, it's okay. Again, we're in the final season, it doesn't matter. Yeah, so that happened.
Speaker 1:And the young man that's on trial for it, his father is snitching on him. Dang, you can't even trust your daddy. Yo, now I'm okay, real quick. I've never been a part of snitching culture, hence why I don't do any type of crime, because, baby, I'm too cute to go to jail. I'm not going. So what do you want to know? I'm gonna tell you through and through everything.
Speaker 1:But this trial is so crazy because his dad who, um, they, they said his dad. His dad has a plethora of children, just million of them. So, yeah, he has a million sacrifice. You, I've got others, but apparently he, the, the young man queso, got signed to record deal and his dad, that's when he finally decided. So, like cheese, yeah, but it's not spelled like queso. But they said that's how you, but that's what the internet said, that's how you pronounce it, ciao, I'm not in his wheelhouse of listeners, but, um, his dad entered to his life when he got the record deal and goes kind of teaching him the game where you ain't talking, nothing else. And anyways, they got this man and the dad actually came and picked them up after this happened and drove to get a red car and help them, you know, like get rid of all the evidence and stuff.
Speaker 1:But the daddy then got arrested from some other things plus this. So the daddy said I'm snitching, I'm gonna tell everything, I know, I'm gonna tell everything. Oh baby. But he's not even going away. The daddy is still getting 20 years. Even with snitching, he's getting 20 years. If you don't snitch, at least give me free. But apparently that that's the daddy's mo, though they say he's been a snitch since 99. That's what he do, is snitch, he's in a professional informant. He is a professional informant. So, yeah, his dad.
Speaker 1:And then they, they went to trial his daddy set up on that stand and they said did queso kill? He said yeah, he did. Wow, yeah. And then they said is this hard for you? He like it is no, it's not. No, it's not, it is not, sir, no, it's not. Don't you dare look at me and lie like that you.
Speaker 1:Now, I don't believe that anything you're saying and you went and picked this man up and helped him get rid of all the evidence, just so you could tell, just so you could tell is crazy. And again, I'm not a part of snitching culture. Same, but that's crazy. Because here's my thought, right, like again, not a part of snitching culture, you do. I advise you to do what's best for you. What's gonna help you look in the mirror? Exactly what's gonna help you sleep at night? Right, but to tattletale and still be in trouble, nah, you can't make that curl over in my mind, you cannot. But you can just tell how selfish he is, because when they ask him, you know like, well, why are you snitching?
Speaker 1:And he didn't say because, oh, because what he did was wrong. Or you know, he took somebody's life. You know, I have to. You know it's, it's a valuable. I'm like, oh, I'm just trying not to be in jail forever. He said because I have other small children and I want to see them grow up, so I'm gonna send this one away.
Speaker 1:Basically, oh, my goodness, first of all and first of all, listen, ladies, and this is what I need to say, because now, this is a thing that you should know women, women, women, I'm all for. People can change and we love the lord. And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. They don't. But if they don't, we can use take all of that emotion out and let's use science. If yes, science is showing you that this nigga ain't shit, he ain't shit, ain't shit. He ain't never gonna be shit. Never call him bishop from juice.
Speaker 1:Okay, like what? Because he legit said he's like my, my, I have a six-year-old daughter and she keep asking me when I'm gonna go to the daddy daughter dance. You're never going to the daddy daughter dance because even if she's six and you do 20 years, she's gonna be 26. And let me tell you who. She's probably not gonna want to deal with your ass. You and you're being very, very, very, very, very optimistic.
Speaker 1:If you think you're gonna sit on the stand and snitch again. I don't know nothing about you, but from what I've seen on television and movies, ain't no way you're gonna snitch like that, yeah, and make it in jail for 20 years, exactly. Ain't no way, ain't no way. Oh, and then, not only is his dad snitching on him, his homeboy that did the crime with him, that actually he orchestrated the whole thing. And see, this is the thing that you should know. Not everybody is your friend. Everybody, when I tell you this, the, the other, the other snitch, or when I tell you he orchestrated it and not orchestrated it like he was like.
Speaker 1:Again, I'm not part of this culture so I can't really tell you what they do, but like this, the stuff, yeah, I can't really like break it down, but I don't know the right terminology, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what's set, I don't know none of that. But this man created a fake instagram page, oh my lord, to follow the boy, see where he was. So you working hard to murder? Yes, and he, like, wherever they are, like he went on, he like he went on, like their version of my case, to look up his address. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he did all of the and he's on the stand telling them word for word, bar for bar, what he did to orchestrate this murder of this man and say what he said to this man.
Speaker 1:How dare you be the planner, how dare you be the project manager, how dare you be the project manager? You know we're not about this, but we caught this man, the project manager. How dare you be the project manager, how dare you be the person tracking us to the deliverable and then get on the stand and tell how we track to the deliverable? How dare you? How dare you? And now he he's stitching. And when I tell you that that young man stood on that stand and told on everybody it didn't matter who they was and you just wow, yeah, oh, my goodness.
Speaker 1:And here's the reason why you need to listen to sadia and not commit crime, because clearly, most people aren't cut out for it. They're not the criminals, they're not. Even the person organizing the crime is not cut out to do the crime. So don't do it. Yeah, you're. Don't do it because like, and I mean he's just sitting up there, what are they? I don't even know what they say. He singing is that what they say when they get I don't know. Again, I don't know. But yeah, he's telling everything.
Speaker 1:And then they even have a video of queso is in like an interrogation room and they're telling him hey, we just found out that your dad is actually going to go ahead and testify on behalf of the state, testify against you. You, you ain't had a nerve to collect. Call me and tell me, oh, my lord. And you see him in the room and you know how you get so mad that you start talking and answering yourself. That's like he can't believe it. He's like neither can I young case, neither can I young case so, and I've never been the type that to be like I can't believe this happened, but not like that's jacked up.
Speaker 1:And here's what I'm like really missing and I need for if y'all could, if you snitches could, call in two, three, nine, nine, six, nine, six, because this is what I because young queso, I don't know, I'm just putting young in it. I don't know how old this he probably is. They all young, something young yn, and clearly because your daddy a yn too in too clearly. But uh, young queso was the meal ticket. He's the one who had the record deal, presumably like the ticket to get us out. So how are we all snitching on a meal ticket? Crazy, crazy, crazy.
Speaker 1:Let's just kind of like, let's just kind of stop there. We're not even going to talk about how crazy, let's just kind of like, let's just kind of stop there. We're not even going to talk about how you, his daddy and you was the project manager and y'all the ones you know testifying for the state and y'all still gonna go to jail. You know it. The public, my thing is, you're still going to jail. Public school system really needs to be reevaluated, because I'm not gonna do.
Speaker 1:No time, I don't got nothing to say. If I got to go to jail for 20 years, nah, I bet my lawyer can give me five out of this exactly. I ain't saying nothing. Oh, I'm still going to jail. 20 years in life to me is the same thing in prison, that's the same thing. First of all, I'm really never going to be in this situation never.
Speaker 1:If I just happen to end up here, let me tell y'all what y'all can know for a fact. If I am on anybody's and anybody's messed up court drawing, sitting on the stand testifying for the state and not under a subpoena, whatever I say, you can guarantee I'm going home after immediately. Like there's not gonna be. No, they're gonna pick me up from the crib and they're gonna drop me. Yeah, no, no, like I'm legit gonna get off the stand and walk out the front door. Because if you don't got that, I don't got nothing to say. I don't have nothing to say. I don't have nothing to say to you. That's the one thing that I will give the homegirl Ghislaine again. Yo, I don't got nothing to say.
Speaker 1:If I got to sit in here, I ain't telling y'all nothing. You can't be crazy. Listen quick pro quote. Do you know what that means? I know you do that. I mean crazy. So, yeah, that's where I, that's where I have been at.
Speaker 1:Um, I don't want to really say shout out for young queso, because it sounds like you're a poor decision maker, but I really hope that you find jesus in jail. Yeah, because you're gonna. Yeah, I think that's for you. I think that's a friend, his lawyer, his lawyer is a caribbean woman and she's not to be played with and and, yes, she's doing a good job. But I'm just looking like, okay, when you do it, if you do get out of it, because this lawyer is doing a good job, I need for you to strip away from anybody you're associated with if you get out of this young case. So, if this young caribbean or I don't know what she is, this caribbean woman and let me tell you it's a possibility if she gets you off, if you get out of this, let me tell you what you should do. In fact, throw me a couple, throw me a little bag and I can definitely consult on your case.
Speaker 1:Yeah, two, three, nine, nine, six, nine, six. We don't give that stuff away for free. But yeah, that's where that's the side of internet. I've been on and I've just been. Wow, that is a side of the internet that has not touched me, but I'm sure it will be pumped to me shortly, as my cell phone has been sitting here. Exactly, they've been listening to everything, yeah. So, yeah, it is what it is. Uh, sadia, anything else we want to talk about before we get out of here? No, I think we've touched on everything.
Speaker 1:I just think something people should know is just be selective of who you hang around. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if you do crime, be selective of who you do crime with too, because I think that's a major one. Yeah, if you're going to do crime, be selective of who you do crime with too, because I think that's a major one. Yeah, yeah, gonna do crime. Yeah, if you're gonna do crime, be very selective of who you do crime with and around, because they ain't made like they used to be made. They are not built like they. They're not built like it because, yeah, it's, it's crazy. Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm gonna give some, because the thing I want people to know is also on the friend tip. But on the other side, if you have good friends, use them, lean on them. That's what they're there for, right. I mean, you've got a good friendship. Not only are they not gonna snitch on you, but they're gonna be in there in times of trouble. So don't suffer in silence. Reach out to your friends. They got you it's, you know, no matter how crazy it is, right, they got you to an extent.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, yeah, because yo, I'll be seeing in videos, like your friend asked you, come bury your body, what you're gonna do, girl. And here's the whole thing. If you are sadia's friend, you know she's not the one to call to bury a body. No, I'm not gonna tell you which one of our friends are gonna piss y'all off. That's gonna have follow-up questions. I'm not gonna tell you which one of our friends gonna piss y'all off. That's gonna have follow-up questions.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry, where's the body being buried? Who is it? What did they do? How deep do we gotta dig the hole right? And when you say bury it like, is it all in one piece, where are we doing it at right? Well, how did we get here?
Speaker 1:Chow, I don't know about this. I don't know about this friend. You should have called me beforehand. We could have went and got a couple drinks. I gotta talk to you out of these, yeah, because, again, I'm too cute to go to jail. That's it right.
Speaker 1:I'm not gonna tell you which one of our friends I would call to bury a body, but it ain't so dear, no, oh, child. The second I gotta ask permission to go use the bathroom. Oh, it's over. What do you need to know? Put me in the room right now, the bathroom, in the same room that you sleep in. You know what I'm out and I am? No, oh, no, uh-uh, oh man, no, I'm not doing this. Put me in the room.
Speaker 1:Y'all ain't even gotta I don't need no good cop, bad cop, what y'all need to know, and I will tell y'all right now what we're gonna. What we're showing you is these are the real questions you need to be asking. Yes, this is what you really need to know. You do so. Uh, yeah, we're gonna get out here. Y'all have a great, I don't know. I hope you guys enjoyed the episode. Yeah, I hope you enjoyed it. We'll be back and, yeah, talk to you later. Okay, bye, bye, bye. Ask your friends if they are snitches or if they'll help you bury a body and you decide what you want to do with that information.
