From Craig Mack To Whitney: Allegations, Cover‑Ups, And Industry Power

The headlines never tell the whole story, and the parts they skip are the ones we can’t ignore. We connect timelines, testimonies, and incentives across decades of hip‑hop and R&B to ask why so many tragedies and near‑misses orbit the same power centers—and why critical details vanish when the stakes are highest. From Craig Mack’s ex‑wife describing a last‑minute AIDS revelation that clashes with the coroner’s decade‑long claim, to Cassie’s account of a 2012 overdose night that lines up uncomfortably close to Whitney Houston’s death, the pattern is less about one name and more about a machine that rewards silence.

We dig into the money trail: how life insurance policies on artists can turn grief into a balance‑sheet event, and why label math sometimes looks better after a funeral than after a hit record. We revisit the roll call of deaths and near‑deaths around the Bad Boy orbit and weigh what each loss granted the surviving stakeholders in control, catalog value, and leverage. None of this replaces evidence; it does force a question most reports dodge—who benefits, who gets protected, and who disappears from the paperwork.

There’s also the ground‑level reality. We share firsthand moments from the Danity Kane years—hotel rooms full of tears after sold‑out shows, a mood of dread that only makes sense now that more women have spoken publicly. And we examine the pressure on independent media as whistleblowers and creators face threats for surfacing uncomfortable receipts. When legacy gatekeepers go quiet, community timelines, livestreams, and archived clips keep the story alive, connecting dots that used to die in drafts.

If you care about music history, artist rights, and the truth that hides behind press releases, you’ll want to hear this. Tap play, subscribe for more fearless breakdowns, and tell us: which missing piece bothers you most—and why do you think it’s still missing?

Hope everybody's not starving like me. We should say I'm starving like Marvin. Everything going good with the hip, Grandma Kathy. I gotta check on the hip. You should be in that pool no time. Yeah, I know that was a typo. I know it was a typo, but it was one of those typos that was like right on time. I mean, like, I'm sitting here thinking about food, and then I just that's why I went straight to I'm like, food morning. Somebody got food for me. I thought somebody had food for me that they was gonna pass me through the screen. Please, please, please, please, please, boom, boom, please. I don't know if y'all heard that James Brown song, but um, y'all. Yeah, I was because I was I had planned on eating it, eating um this morning. Let me tell y'all why why I'm starving. Cuz I had last night I went to I didn't want to eat too late, and I had three quesadillas, three big quesadillas waiting on me. So I ate one and I said I'll eat the other two early in the morning because I'm gonna I'm gonna be up early anyway. But then I ended up doing something this morning and didn't have time, so it's no big deal. It ain't going nowhere. It'll be waiting for me just like the pool will be waiting for uh grandma Kathy in six weeks. Um she said she's stiff, but she's up. That's cool. That's cool. Good morning to all. So, y'all, what are we talking about today? Um, y'all, this Diddy story, you never know how like it. How is it gonna end? It almost feels like y'all remember that the never-ending story, the never-ending story. You remember the never-ending story? That's what this Diddy shit is. This is the never-ending story, except ain't nobody on no dog flying around. This is some nasty uh trifling shit that these celebrities have been engaging in, and they finally getting caught to the carpet. The reason why I say it's the never-ending story, though, is because well, let me play this and make sure I hope y'all can hear this. Because I'm gonna just start off with this. This is Craig Mac's wife. Check this out.

Hunger Talk And Light Banter

SPEAKER_00 6:30

The truth is, um, myself, nor our children, our two that we have together, we did not know that Craig had AIDS until roughly 14 days before he passed. The kids knew he had been sick. But no one told us, you know, no one told them what was wrong. And when my children found out, they called me and told me because they were they were very upset as to what happened. I was I don't know, you know, but speaking with the coroner down there after his passing, the coroner said Craig had probably been sick between ten and eleven years medicated all those years. Why I don't I don't know. So if you do the math, that puts him back in New York when he got sick. How he got sick, we have some speculations, but I'm not at liberty to discuss those right now due to my attorneys telling me not to talk about it. I I believe um him getting sick was uh something that was intentional. Craig was a very heterosexual man, he liked women. Um he liked the company of women. So when people were saying, Oh, he was gay, he wasn't gay. Someone got to him. Craig told a friend who is down in South Carolina, he told him, he said, Hey, do you still want to be in music? And the gentleman told him yes. He's younger than Craig. He told me, his exact words were Craig told him, Well, if you want to be in music, be careful. Because they will put some, they will put someone with you and they'll poison you. At that time when he told him that, he had no idea Craig was sick with AIDS. So Craig had a feeling that it was something given to him, not in, I guess the way people usually contract AIDS. I don't know.

Introducing The Diddy Allegations

Craig Mack’s Wife Audio And Claims

SPEAKER_03 9:49

So that was that was Craig Mac's uh wife. Um I don't know if you remember. Yes, he could have got it from a woman, but she really was saying that because uh when he could when they found out he had AIDS, everybody was speculating and saying that he was gay. So I don't think she was saying it like as if she he couldn't have got it from a woman, but I think she was she was more addressing the many people who were saying and speculating that Craig Mac was gay once uh people found out he had AIDS, which he didn't know to the very last. He had it for 10 or 11 years, but didn't know it until the last uh last year or so, and it probably was supposed to take him out even faster if it was given to him. Now, the reason why I brought that up is because in the day is no secret, um, it's no secret that many people believed that Diddy was mad that Craig Mac was going on his own. Um that Craig Mac was going on his own, and uh Diddy was upset about it. And so there's been there was speculation back in the day that Diddy did something to Craig Mac, and now his wife coming out and saying that she believes he was given AIDS, um it leads to believe, let's say if that if that is the case or whatever, this is just another thing hanging that Didi could possibly be tied to, and the reason another reason why I'm paying close attention to this is Mark Curry mentioned you remember, Mark Curry was a rapper, he was around all of this time. He even said, and I'm gonna try to get him to see if he can touch on this maybe tomorrow on the show or Friday. I'm gonna see if he wants to pop in on the show and touch on the fact that the wife is saying Craig Mack was given implanted AIDS. See, Mark Curry can go into the beef that was between Diddy and Craig Mack at that time, and given you know, with this elite, giving somebody AIDS is not out of the realm of possibility, and then another thing that Mark Curry touched on was that how these record labels would take out life insurance policies on an artist. So I would like to know who cashed out because Craig Mac died. I really would like to know that. I would like to know, did anybody have a life insurance policy on Craig Mac, like any record labels? Did Diddy and see Diddy of course wouldn't have one himself? Um Diddy wouldn't have one himself because that would make him look too guilty. So I'm thinking that somebody in the label might have, and this was what Mark Curry was saying. Mark Curry was saying, and I'm gonna pull it up because he talked about it on my live on when we were on Facebook Live, but he was talking about how these record execs will put life insurance policies on these artists and cash out when they die, and not only cash out when they die from their life insurance policy, but of course cash out from their music, and since very since back in the day, these record labels they realized that there was a lot of money and profit in an artist's death for the record label. Uh, you don't have anybody too much fighting you for the royalties and fighting you for kind for you know different little contractual issues. Um you cashing out from the policy. So, you know, I'm looking at this, like I said, I want to give Mark's opinion on this. I want to try to get him, see if he'll pop in on us tomorrow. But I don't know, just with listen to the listen to the list of mysterious deaths. And if I miss any, please put it in the comment section. Um, and let me make this announcement for uh Denise. She wants to know anyone following the Monks March for Peace. They started over 86 days ago in Texas and are now walking through North Carolina, expected to finish in Washington, D.C. next month, which will be 120 days. So look out for that. Uh, thanks for bringing that to our attention, uh, Denise. Uh, and actually, uh Rx says, good morning, Elise. Denise, I saw the monks when they uh when they passed through here in Atlanta a couple weeks ago. That's sweet, Rx. Rx said he saw the monks pass through Atlanta. I know that had to be pretty cool. Anyway, um, let's get back to this crack. So listen to the depths. And like, if I miss any, put them in the chat. But we go all the way back. Andre Jorel. This is all from the Diddy tree. This is all from the Diddy tree. Uh Andre Jorell. Now he was rumored to be doing some stuff separate from Diddy uh regarding Uptown. And the next thing we know, he drops dead. Heavy D. It's been alleged that Heavy D, Andre Harrell, and Diddy had a problem. Diddy threatened Heavy D's life. Not too long after that, Heavy D died, and his initial cause of death was pneumonia, and then they changed it to a blood clot. Strange. And a near death, Al B Shore. Kim's baby father, who did he took over his son as if it was his and just basically pushed him out the way. And Al B. Shore is supposed to be dead. Comb was in a coma. All his vital organs shut down. Okay, so I had to throw that one in there for honorable mention for for lack of better words. All right, let's continue. Shakir Stewart was threatened by Diddy. Shakir Stewart and Kim dead dated. Uh Diddy put was violent towards Shakir. And Shakir, Shakir, which I met Shakir Stewart, he was one of the top record execs, worked with Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Neo, Beyonce. I mean everybody in the early 2000s. I knew Shakir, and Shakir was always uh an upbeat positive guy. They want us to believe he blew his own brains out and committed suicide. Right around the time he was beefing with Diddy over Kim Porter. That's Shakir Stewart. We got Black Rod, a bad boy artist.

SPEAKER_04 18:45

Craig Mack. Kim Porter. Biggie Small. Tupac.

Life Insurance And Label Incentives

Mysterious Deaths Around The Bad Boy Orbit

SPEAKER_03 19:02

Am I missing anybody? But that is a lot of mysterious deaths that are linked or connected to one man. That's just a lot, man. Kim Porter, Heavy D, Andre Arrell, the near-death experience of Al B shore, um, Craig Mac, um, uh, Biggie, like, it's just like golly, how many, how many deaths, and deaths that benefit you. Every death I name, Diddy has something to gain by that person passing away. It just it does not make any sense. And I don't like it. And I don't like it. So as this case moves on, and then it's another thing. Yep, Brittany Murphy. Yep, that was a mysterious one. Uh for Ashton when Demi was about to find out. Mm-hmm. Just too many man for one man. And then the more and more guys, when you think about all of these mysterious deaths, and you think about all of the violent things that have been tied to Diddy, you really realize how much of a shit show that trial really was. Another good one, uh, Tracy. Tracy said uh Ray J supplies that cause Diddy overdose at the same time as Whitney. Good one, Tracy. I forgot about that one. Let's talk about that one. As a matter of fact, as a matter of fact, let me see if I can pull that one up. Can you pull up an article that talks about the overdose that Diddy had, which was around the same time or the same night that Whitney Houston died? Great one, Tracy, because that's one that people tend to overlook. Check this out. The Source magazine, Cassie recalls Diddy's overdose at the Playboy Mansion in 2012 during cross-examination. During a pivotal moment in Sean Diddy Combs' federal sex trafficking trial, singer Cassie Ventura offered startling testimony under cross-examination recounting a 2012 incident in which the music mogul reportedly overdosed at the Playboy mansion following a party. Was that around the time Whitney Houston died? I believe so, she said. That evening we had a freak off. We went to a sex club in San Bernardino, and then he had a party at the Playboy mansion that night and went home. She continued detailing that Diddy later told her from what Diddy told her he took a really strong opioid that night, but we didn't know what happened. So we took him to the hospital. When asked whether she and Combs struggled with painkiller addiction, she said very much so. That is something, yes, Cassie saved his life. Nobody was there to take Whitney to the hospital, but that is something that I think does not get talked about enough. And then we go to Whitney Houston on February 11, 2012, American singer and actress Whitney Houston was found unconscious at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, submerged in the bathtub. She was pronounced dead later that day. The cause of death was not immediately known. Local police said there were no obvious signs of criminal intent. The office reported that Houston's death was an accidental drowning caused by the effects of heart disease and cocaine use. No. Houston is one no. No. No, I don't that I don't believe that. And why okay? Let's because I always like to work backwards. Let's work backwards. Let's work backwards. Let's go off of what they say happen. Let's go off of what they are saying happen. First of all, I truly believe, like Elisa, I believe Ray J was supplying Diddy and Whitney and a lot of other people, but mainly those two with drugs that night. Somebody slipped some bad shit. And and and and I really believe part of me wants to believe it was it was it was sent, it was an order that that was a hit on Whitney. And then part of me also will want to also can believe that um Ray J sold her some bad stuff, which caused Diddy to go to the hospital and caused her death and tried to hide it. Let's work back. We have our speculations, but let we can we can we can we can see how shady it sounds just by going off of even their words. Their words are it was an accidental drowning caused by cocaine and some heart disease. Okay, so if cocaine was involved, why haven't we ever been told or heard who this supplier was? Unfortunately, I have friends who have sold drugs and have had people pass away on their drugs, and every time that happens, they go after the drug the drug dealer. Whenever a person dies as a result of and a drug played a role, they they pretty much always go after the drug dealer to catch him a case. Why have we not heard from whoever gave her this cocaine? Everybody put their thinking hats on. Think about that. I've been in situations where I've had friends or associates who have sold bad drugs, and someone unfortunately died, and they caught cases behind this shit. If you see when somebody gets bad, when drugs is involved in a person's death, and we're talking about Whitney Houston, you mean to tell me they have never, they have never found out where she got the drugs from? It's very easy. Phone records, surveillance. It is very easy to find out where she got those drugs from. Why don't we know this how stupid they think we are? Why, how could someone if anybody right now, and let's throw all conspiracy theories to the side, if somebody famous or not famous dies as a result of some cocaine, they are gonna go immediately and search and find out where those drugs came from and involve that drug dealer. Because your drugs played a role in this person passing away, your ass is grass, but for some reason, when it comes to the Whitney Houston story, they never even talk about now. We speculate that she got the drugs from Ray J, and I believe that wholeheartedly. Why didn't the authorities, why people didn't call this drug dealer, whoever gave her these drugs? How did that just get swept under the rug? You can't piss on me and trick me and say that I done hopped in the shower. You can't you you can't you can't do that to me. You can't do that to me. You can't piss on me and tell me I got a leaky roof. And nobody talks about this. Nobody screams about why we don't know, why was there no investigation and no matter of fact, when Leo, when Liam, what's his name? Liam Payne, the guy, the the the the singer who who who who mysteriously they say jumped from a balcony, his name Liam, Liam Payne or Liam. Do you do y'all realize the minute he was uh he was a singer? Do I got his name right, y'all? Is it Liam? Liam, what is his name? It's Liam.

SPEAKER_04 31:41

I thought it was Liam Payne. Let me see. I'm excited.

SPEAKER_06 31:52

We're only gonna get better, we're only gonna get better.

Cassie’s Testimony And Whitney’s Death Timeline

SPEAKER_03 31:56

Okay, so I was I guess I was I was right, it was Liam Payne. Yeah, Liam Payne. Liam Payne was a former member of One Direction, died at 31. They say he fell from a balcony. But when they found out he was under the influence of drugs, they immediately went straight to the drug dealers and charged them and put took them in for questioning, yada yada yada. But for Whitney Houston, you don't you don't check, you she she has an accidental drowning and cocaine is involved. And you mean to tell me you're not following up and seeing what what was the what what kind of cocaine was this and where did it come from? You're not trying to get it off the streets, you just moving on and saying, Hey, she died from accidental drowning from some cocaine and heart disease, and uh, we just moving on. Yeah, it was Liam Payne, uh, at least. But the point was, um the minute that like they were look like the the that same day they were looking for uh who these drug dealers was. Where did Liam Payne get these drugs from? And and and like I said, so it there's nothing more obvious that there's a cover-up than the fact that they never brought up who these drugs came from. They never what were they were they never concerned with finding out where these drugs came from that are causing accidental drowning. Black Rose says Clive Davis and Diddy paid off the cops and investigators. Yeah, somebody was paid off, somebody was definitely paid off, and that's the sad part about it, man. It's like your life just don't mean shit to these shady uh individuals. I'll just say that. I'll just say shady individuals. Um, what is my Whitney Houston, one of the greatest singers, biggest talents of all time, and she dies, and somebody could just pay off investigate, just shut down a whole investigation and don't even get to the bottom of it. That just is foul, that makes no sense. I don't like it at all. I don't like it, I don't like it at all. And Tracy said her daughter knew too much. Just so many mysterious deaths. Uh coming from the Music Times, and let's go back to the article about Craig Mack. Craig Mack's ex-wife reveals dark mystery behind his A's diagnosis. Someone purposely infected him. Craig Mack, the late rapper, known, this is from the Music Times. Craig Mack, the late rapper, known as one of the Bad Boys Records early stars, has once again come into the spotlight following claims from his ex-wife regarding the circumstances of his passing. Roxanne, the mother of Mac's two children, recently spoke about her belief that someone may have purposely infected the rapper with HIV. In an interview with Art of Dialogue, uh Hill uh Hill recounted that neither she nor her children were aware of Mac's HIV diagnosis until just weeks before his death in 2018. She explained that the coroner suggested that Mac may have carried the virus for a decade without treatment. Now, let me put my detective hat on, y'all. What if that coroner is full of shit? What if that coroner's job was just to throw off the scent to have it for 10 years and then die in weeks? I don't I don't know if I believe that, y'all. I believe if he was infected with it, I believe he was infected with it right then and there. I don't believe this corner, that's the perfect way to throw it off. Hey, this he's been living with this for 10 years. So don't look at nothing that had happened in the last few weeks or the last month. Don't look at anything or anybody he's been around in the last month because he's had this for he's had this for um a week. I mean, I mean, I mean for years. I don't believe that corner, y'all. Yeah, I I don't believe that corner. I'm stopping right there. That corner is working for the enemy, I believe. Because if somebody infect it was like easy, if they gonna infect you with it, they infect you with something to drop your ass down. They're not gonna drop it, they're not gonna drop you with something and um they're not gonna drop it. Go browns, they're not gonna drop you, infect you with something and wait for 11 years. They ain't that patient. They gonna put some AIDS in you that's gonna have your ass done in weeks. And that corner, I would be investigating that damn corner. Talking about how you just how a coroner, I don't believe it. I don't believe it. A corner, a coroner gonna say he may he may have carried the virus for a decade without treatment. And then and then you go decades without treatment, and then just in a matter of weeks, you gone. That don't that don't write that that don't read. I don't I don't I don't I don't think so. Uh introducing her perspective on how Matt contra contracted the disease, she stated someone got to him. Craig had a feeling that it was something given to him, not in, I guess, the way people usually contract A's. If he had been an intravenous drug user sharing needles, they would know the probability of him getting sick from that. But this was just like out of the blue. According to Hot New Hip Hop, she also mentioned that Mac. Had warned an aspiring male artist about the potential dangers in the music industry, indicating he was aware of the risk posed by influential figures. Hill further detailed that she and the children only learned of the diagnosis shortly before Mac's death, leaving the family with unanswered questions. It has resulted in a lot of confusion and a lack of closure for the family. She said, noting that the exact origin of the virus remains unclear. She added that she refrains from sharing her specific theories publicly due to legal advice. That he would have something for ten, eleven years and then be gone in a matter of weeks. I ain't buying that one. Very coincidental, Elisa. Doesn't make any sense, y'all. Just does not make any sense, man. And I I really believe they are working on something big, y'all. I really think they about to crack a serious case. Oh uh don't let me forget. We gotta talk about uh Balal and how they are really threatening independent media. Have y'all heard the latest on Bilal? So Bilal, first of all, let me say Bilal is okay. Uh Bilal, yeah, something is fishy. Uh Bilal, yeah, that's a good point, Tracy. And uh grandma Kathy said, like you said, it's really fishy, and like you said, Tracy, it's like they changed, they went from AIDS to pneumonia, and they've been working they've been running with the pneumonia. Uh they run in that same play. But speaking of pneumonia, y'all remember Bilal. Bilal is former Will Smith best friend, assistant, whatever you want to call him. Uh, he he blew the whistle recently in Atasha K interview, uh, talking about all the dirty deeds that Will Smith and Jada Diddy have done, uh, like blowing brashir's back out and forcing them to give head all for fame, and so many things like that. Well, Jamil, the YouTuber that brought that out, he is getting threats allegedly on his life.

SPEAKER_04 43:59

The YouTuber that has been his name is Jamil.

Drug Supplier Questions And Alleged Cover‑Ups

SPEAKER_03 44:06

Uh, the YouTuber Jamil that's been giving us all the ball latest information has said now he has been threatened by he has been threatened by by uh Jada Pinkett and the Sun. Let me repeat that Jamil, youtuber who's been bringing us all of this balal latest information about the pneumonia, about the car, the crash, uh saying that he's fine now. Jada Jada Pinkett tweeted some type of little subliminal threat, and then she deleted the tweet towards Jamil. And then through Instagram, friends of Jaden Smith have uh passed the message that Jaden Smith is threatening to do. Like, I don't get that, I don't get that at all, but it's just weird, weird energy, and the bottom line is though, the the the most recent thing that Bilal said, he said, take this to the bank, the indictment is coming. I don't know, y'all. We might have, man, I do believe fresh off of the Diddy indictment. I do believe we have another major indictment looming. I don't know if it's gonna be another indictment on Diddy or it's gonna be an indictment of some other big name celebrity, but I believe in my heart of hearts we have another indictment coming. I believe it. I believe it. I I like I can feel it, and I just don't know who can't put my finger on it, but I definitely feel we got another celebrity indictment coming. Will it be Will and Jada? I don't know. Will it be Diddy? I don't know. I I'm sure Diddy got something coming, but I I think there's another, I think there's gonna be another another uh celebrity coming to the forefront. Speak spoke out. We didn't get a chance to talk about that, and I had now I have firsthand so Danny Kane D Wood breaks a 20-year silence on Diddy after two decades. Danny De Kane singers reclaiming their story and their joy for years. D Wood, this is from next, this is from rolling out for years, and I'm gonna give you some background on this because I was around for this. I was really, really cool with D Woods. We were actually kind of, I guess you could call it dating. We were dating at this time, and um, so I got some insight on the Diddy stuff with Danity Kane. I'm gonna read this article, but then I'm gonna I'm gonna give you some some of what I saw. Uh, for years, D. Woods carried the weight of her early fame quietly. Now that Danny Kane singer is finally speaking out about the darker side of success and Diddy. Woods revealed that she spent much of her career holding into individuality and suffering in silence, choosing not to publicly confront experiences that deeply shaped the path of her music. The elephant in the room, according to D Woods. Uh just the the the the the horrible treatment of Diddy to these girls. So let me. She said an atmosphere that felt familiar would share Alec shared that the allegations later made public about Combs closely mirrored what Danny can Danny D. Kane experienced during their time at Bad Boy Records. And they felt empathy for Cassie. Now look, check this out. Now, when I was running around and I had my record deals and I was running around with Floyd, this was as the exact same time that Danity Kane was on the rise. I met D. Woods in New York. Actually, Floyd Mayweather actually hooked us up. We were we were in a truck, we were in one of our promotional trucks outside of a Manhattan hotel, and D Woods had got out of a cab and was walking into the hotel. And I had told Floyd, I was like, She cute. I didn't know who I didn't know it was D Woods. I thought it was just a regular person. All I said was, all I said was she was cute, and then Floyd called her over. She came over. Turns out, turns out she was D Woods. So we met, exchanged numbers, and then we were cool from then on. We start meeting up. She was in uh D Woods was in my music video, one of my videos. Um, and every time we would be in the same city, we would link up, whether it was Atlanta, New York, even Cleveland. When Danny Kane was on tour, and I happened to be in Cleveland, I pulled up to Danny Kane at their hotel. Now, when I first met all the girls from Danny Kane through D Woods, they were all happy. It was just a fun vibe, like they were a cool group of girls. Once they went on tour and got really deep into that Diddy Well, every time I would pull up, I'm thinking I'm coming this to just have fun, and everybody gonna be laughing and joking. Because you know, I'm like, you know, at this time I'm thinking being on bad boy is the funnest thing ever, and every time I would pull up on D Woods and Danny Kane, those girls would be in fucking tears, and I and and and and and and D Woods would never tell me like what Diddy did, but she would like let me know it has something to do with Diddy, and I I didn't think it was to this degree, but when I look back, now it makes sense. I'm talking about y'all, I pulled up on them in Atlanta, they had just performed. I'm going to meet them at the hotel. Everybody crying and emotional, and it's and it's to the point where me and D Wills just end up talking to us, you know, just kicking in a little bit to ourselves. Then in Cleveland, this was back in. I'm talking about this is like 2005. Then they in Cleveland. I pull up to the hotel. I'm thinking everybody's gonna be laughing and joking and having a good time. The girls were in there crying and sad again, and I'm just like, it got to the point where I'm like, why every time I pull up? Why how can they be what is going on? What is Diddy doing that these girls are so emotional? Little did I know, y'all, the hell they were going through, but I witnessed the reaction. What up, bro? You live on the show? What's going on?

SPEAKER_02 52:59

Hey, what's going on? What's going on? The diddler, diddler, diddler. Man, I'm just clocking in from work, man. I'm just calling in, man. See what's going on.

SPEAKER_03 53:10

Okay, yeah, I was gonna hit you up. I'm gonna I'm gonna call you in a minute.

SPEAKER_02 53:14

All right, how the show going?

SPEAKER_03 53:16

Uh, the show going pretty good. Uh it's a members-only show, so it's just an intimate group.

SPEAKER_02 53:24

SPEAKER_03 53:27

Oh shit. All right, I'll hit you up.

SPEAKER_02 53:29

SPEAKER_03 53:33

That's my brother, y'all. He said he got woman problems. So that means he needs to vent. I'll be calling him when I get off the show. But um, yeah, y'all. I would I could not believe that these this group of girls that I met when I first met them, they were so happy and they were just a cool group. So every time after that, I would be looking forward to hooking up, not with just D Woods, just with all of them. We were just cool. And man, sometimes they were crying so much, only D Woods would come out. And I would go there expecting to say hi and speak to everybody, and the girls would be somewhere balling, and D Woods would just come out, and me and her would just end up kicking it. But she would kind of tell me, like I said, she never told me any details, but she just would be like, because I'd be like, What's wrong? And she would be like, Man, Puff is just something else. Like, she would just kind of say shit like that, and I'm thinking, because at this time, I'm not knowing the Diddler. I knew Diddy was a narcissist, everybody knew he was a narcissist and shit like that, but I didn't know he was the Diddler, so I was thinking like he was just putting a lot of pressure on them, and they were crying. I didn't know it was all types of sexual violations going on, man. And so when D Woods speaks out, that's why I go so hard for this case because I was around, I know that this shit is true. I was there, I was pulling up to go see Danity Kane at their hotel after the show, and it was always sad ass crying vibes, and I just did not, I was like, what is Diddy doing to these girls? Little did I know he was just sexually violating and disrespecting the hell out of them women. I had no clue, and like I said, D Woods did not tell me any, like she didn't give me any uh, she didn't give me any detail, she kept it in-house, but she did let me know that the tears and the sobbing was a result of some shit Diddy did. I just didn't know it was this shit. So, as somebody who witnessed this, I am happy because they they get to speak out because people don't realize for 20 years they couldn't speak out, nobody would listen to them, they would get blackballed, possibly unalive. Diddy has so much power and control, people couldn't even speak out. Great question, at least. I don't know how KK has dodged any involvement, she must be a fed herself, but it makes no freaking sense, and so that's what people don't understand. Like, I am happy that friends of my these were friends and associates of mine who I know they couldn't speak out, they just had to take it for 20 years, they just had to take it. Nobody wanted to hear people be like, Well, they just saying them you couldn't say shit back then. You didn't have an avenue to get your word out like we do now with this algorithm and then the new way that everybody kind of has a voice. It wasn't like that back then. The the the major public cases were not fucking with you. So if you did speak out, the only thing that would happen was it would be no accountability to Puff, aka Diddy, aka the Diddler. There would be no accountability, and your ass will be blackballed, your dreams washed down at best, you just blackballed, at worst, your ass end up dead. Yeah, yeah, I have first hand knowledge. I just said that's interesting that you have first hand knowledge of pain that he was causing people. Yeah, I was there because you got to remember, I was on in 2004 and 2005, 2006. I was on the cover of magazines, I was touring, I was just as much of a real artist as anybody, so I was in the loop, I was in the complete loop of all of that shit, and I always paid attention to things, and so that's why I could replay, and I just always will could not because it. I mean, just imagine this you go in to see your friends. This is at Danity Kane, when they at their highest. I mean, like it was to the point where D Woods would be right about to go on TRL and would text me and say, Hey, what's up? We about to go on TRL, and literally two seconds later, she'd be on TRL talking. And so I was literally in the loop, and so just think about your friends are the biggest girl group out, and you thinking every time you pull up on them, you ready to party, have fun, celebrate, and you get there, and every time it's like it's a fucking funeral. I didn't understand, and I'm thinking, like I said, I thought being on bad boy was the best thing ever. I'm like, y'all on TV, y'all performing, y'all living y'all dreams. How come every time I pull up, everybody's in tears? Or everybody's in so much tears they can't even come out the room, and it would just be me and D Woods. D Woods is definitely the strongest one. She would be the one kind of consoling everybody. D. Woods was the strongest one for sure because she could hold back her tears. And maybe she cried more when I left or something and maybe held it while I was there. But I promise y'all, I always thought it was strange that them girls was always in tears and sad. Every time I came around when I thought it was party time, I'm pulling up smiles, looking forward to throwing back a couple drinks and just laughing and joking, and I would get there, it would be like quiet, tears. A real live funeral. So when people don't understand why I am personally invested in this story, don't understand my story. Not the D Woods is just one person. I got a lot of friends who were done wrong, and all from this era. From 04 to 08, I was in the mix. And I stayed in contact even after that with people. But from 04 to 08, I was in the mix. So I saw people being destroyed firsthand. And these are good, cool ass people. D Woods and Danny Kane were they treated me like I was on their level. Like they never, like they never act snobby. They were just some cool ass girls, man, and then see somebody just destroy them like that with your own eyes. It just does something to you. So yeah, y'all, another good one in the books. Tomorrow I'ma see if uh if uh Mark Curry will pop on and give us some insight on this on this Craig Mac AIDS conspiracy.
