Shame on you. Because George Michael brung a lot of soul, he brung a lot of rimen. I got a speech problem. He brought a lot of he brung a lot of music to the music industry. He but he brung real singing. And one thing I like about UK artists, because he's from the UK, one thing I like UK artists, they really know how to make sure that the music sounds like music. I'm not saying American artists, it's just the the quality of the like you got uh the quality is just so damn different, man. I just just just I know y'all might man it's the same. No, it ain't. I I I I I I listened to how the mixing and mastering sound on a lot of a lot of these records. I listen to a lot of um, I listen to a lot of um production, and I I see the difference and the quality of the people that's here in the states. They just put out the music without even having no kind of sustenance to it. Now I'm not shitting on people in the states, so I'm just saying I could tell the difference from a UK artist and a US artist. It's just a difference. And I'm not gonna, I don't want nobody saying, oh, don't be shitting on a United States artist. No, I just see a difference in the production, and I want everybody to understand that. And I'm quite sure if you listen to different kinds of music, you'll hear the quality of the production when you in the UK. I I know musical-wise, musical-wise, we're gonna get into it. Music-wise, I got all my stuff over here. Music-wise, they deal more into live instruments. If you let me go back to that, yeah, I'm old, I'm 52. My birthday was um March 13th.

All right, George Michaels is a British, he's from overseas artist. He started, he started the group Wham, all right, in uh in 1987, all right, and the group wham ended in 1980 1989, and he started his solo career in 19 uh 89 as well. So he's born in London, all right, June 25th, 1963. All right. When and he passed away December 25th, 2016, at a tender age of 52. All right, we're just gonna get that out there, all right. Yeah, he's dead, all right. RP to George Michael, and I want I was told to sing one of my songs of George Michael, because we can't play it on here. Time would never live. Don't laugh. Dangers whisper, I will die for you. You're the voice of mine. I can't waste no time. I was tossing by the silver scream. I will die for you. I'm never gonna dance again.

Time will never leave. I did, I like this part. Dang his whisper. Ah, well, that but yo. He did not say that shit. It sounded like he said it. I it sound like it. I'm sorry. I gotta it sound like he said that, but he George Michael, that that that's kind of like how he was singing. All right, so we're gonna get into it. All right, so what's up? Oh, don't don't judge me. I ain't no fucking singer, I'm a DJ and I'm a damn rapper when I want to rap. And that was my shit though. Um, all right, so uh we're gonna get into um his his uh the the wham. So Georgia Michael started wham back in like I said, 1987. Wham was you could not be a kid listening to the radio because back in the 87, RB soul was the shit. It's like you turn on the radio, you knew the star. You knew you like now, you turn on the radio, everybody's a fucking star, everybody wanna make it. No, back in the 80s, when you was into the music industry, you knew the star from the hard work, you knew the star from the production, you knew a star from the way this stuff we're gonna get into with the George Michael thing. We ain't just gonna lay out all the dirt first. We're gonna we're gonna build you up and we're gonna give you the untold stories of George Michael. That's what CS1 DJs do. And I was told to report whatever, and and and and I'm gonna, you know, we're gonna get into it. So let's get into his career. He was very he was young when he started wham. Now you keep in mind George Michael started wham. Okay, he started whim. And then um they was independent. It was more him. Most of these artists were starting off independent, like like how the artists start off now. So he was independent, he started wham. There was they was uh doing uh uh uh like small bars and shit like that. And then um he met the uh a couple of drummers and a couple of music uh the mus musicians, you know what I'm talking about. God damn it, I talk crazy. A couple of other people that's in the band, he met, I'm gonna say that better, and um they started wham. He had the other his least the other singer that was with him, and um they started wham. Looking for a deal, right back then, you like you had to really be the shit. You just couldn't, it wasn't on social media, so you didn't you ain't just getting a record deal. So they promoted, they started selling their own merch. It started selling the George Michael Wham merch first. It was the it was the it was the merch from Wham that got them the situation with Sony. So it they didn't just get the record deal straight up. It was more selling the merch and singing on the corners and shit like that. The lead, the the lead singer, well, no, I said the league singer, George Michael was the lead singer, the other singer that was with him in the group, they actually went to San Francisco and they had a dinner meeting. And this is a true story, yo. A dinner meeting with another band member. And the other band member had the plug, we're gonna just talk in 2026 terms, had to plug with Columbia Records. All right, so he like, you know, he had to plug pretty much like, hey man, I got a, you know, I got you know, we from the UK, we got a, you know, we got a band, we a group we're trying to start, and then and the guy like, what does you know, where did Wham stand for? See, I want to spoil all the sh T yet. He said, nah, man, uh, no, no. That's that's just our name. That's the name that uh Lee Singer, uh the head of the group, uh came up with. Now, this is the the guy from the band, all right, out in San Francisco. And um at that time, listen, at that time it was not very, very popular. Shout out to Kermit Henderson. At that time, it was never very popular. Shout out to Kerman in here checking in. It wasn't very that wasn't very popular to say who you are and what you got going on. Shout out to Kerman checking in. Shout out to Kerman Henderson, superstar maker. Now, Kerman might know some of the story. We're gonna we're gonna keep it jiggy though. And we're gonna keep it PG. So, anyway, so back in San Francisco, the the one of the guys from the group met with one of the guys from uh from Columbia Records. All right. So they had the dinner meeting. He let them know about the his group out in the UK, and um from there, they they you know they was talking. He went back, they went back to London, and then they they came out with a couple of singles, not signed yet, all right. A couple of singles came out from that from the group. All right, so therefore, George Michael is finding himself. We're gonna get back to George Michael, not wham. So while he's working on the group, wham, he's actually still finding himself on who he is as an artist. You can't, this is what I tell a person, you can't jump into anything in his music industry without having a plan. So George Michael already had a plan of being a lead singer of the group, wham, and also branching off to start his own solo career. So he wrote all the songs for the group. And he also, he also, listen, he also did some of the production. He also was, you know, he he was a producer as well. If you look at some of the older credits, go pull up some of the wham albums. George Michaels was one of the producers of all, if not all the albums, mostly the first couple of albums that Wham put out. So wham has been around from, like I said, 1987 and they ended it in 1989. Now, you might want to say, why the fuck did Wham end after all the millions of records that Wham sold, all the millions of merch that wham sold. Back in the day, you had to wham, you had to wham t-shirts, you had to wham posters, the girls was going crazy. You can be nothing without wham. Wham was the shit. You cannot turn on a radio without listening to George Michael and wham. But see, the problem was in any group, you want to be the man. Everybody wants to be the fucking man. All right? This is about George Michael, it's not about the other singer. All right, so let's get that. Don't get it twisted. That's why you see only one person on here. I always got strict instructions to how to do this. Because we got a report with the clearance that we got the clearance of. So I want to talk about someone else, but I don't got the clearance to talk about that. But I will talk, I will say this George Michael wrote 100% of the music of uh in wham. So the other lead singer, the other singer and wham did not write the music, even though if it was in credits, was told to me from my journalist. And that's why we ain't saying allegedly, no, he wrote 100% of um the whim, all the wham albums and singles, which he didn't get credit for all the writing, because we're gonna get Into the Columbia Records thing, what I can talk about and Epic Records and Virgin Records and all the other labels that he had partnerships with, with his personal career, solo career, and also with Wham. So let's get back into the hype in the 80s. You and Charlotte Kermit. You cannot be in the music industry a Soul Records or a record, an independent record promoter, or a record exec if you did not know who the fuck Wham was back in the 80s. Wham posters merch was all over every record store. His songs, they songs, that group songs was all over the radio. Commercial, hip-hop, RB, Soul, um, um, yeah uh uh alternative rock. The songs that Wham put out was in all genres. The singles that they put out was in all genres. A lot of people heard the song You gotta have faith. Alright. You're right, you gotta have faith. But the years that Wham was going on, allegedly, now I gotta throw in allegedly, because this is my journalist uh investigation. Allegedly, they said George Michael and the other singer had a relationship. One of the background, um, one of the background singers, I'm gonna say allegedly, because I got this information from a deep source, and I don't like saying allegedly, but it this it's a 99% true. They went into the back room, and uh, we talking 1980, or I'm gonna tell you a year now, because they told me that make sure I got my notes right. 1988. George Michael and the other singer, a wham, was in the back. I was heated. There was in the backstage right before one of their concerts. And the the one of the band members went in there and saw them in a very compromised position. I'm like, hold on for a minute. What do you mean by that? Because George Michael was the sex symbol back in the 80s. And he said, Well, yeah, I was um, they hired me to do bass, and I went to the back and to get a water and uh some refreshments, and I saw the two guys back there doing what they do best. Rehearsing. So y'all thought I was saying he was kissing, huh? All right, so it was rehearsing in the in a way that he didn't understand that back in the 80s. And he said, George, what y'all got going on? He's like, Well, we heard rehearsing, you know, we're making sure everything is right. So I gotta, you know, I'm gonna talk in 2026 terms, making sure my shit is right. So everyone make sure everything's right. So the guy said, all right, well, in business as usual. And then the other singer of Wham, I was told not to say his name, and I won't say it until I get a text on my phone to mention his name, being this is not about him, it's about George Michael. He came to him and said, Hey man, in this business, you know, you you keep what you you keep what you saw to yourself. You say, Man, I ain't see nothing right there. Good. Long as you keep it that way, you have a job. Untold stories of George Michael. So that means, I'm gonna break it down and you shut the fuck up. If you see some shit that ain't your fucking business, you open up a door that you ain't supposed to be opening, and you see some shit going down, some racial, anything. I'm gonna watch my words on here because that's what I do. You shut the fuck up. It is not your business to go out and tell everybody. It was no social media in 1988 or 1987 or the 90s. It was the tabloids, though. So you have the tabloids, and you could really start a real bad rumor. And back in them days, that ain't the shit you're supposed to do. You could find your ass in the Hudson River or the uh the river out in the wherever river is close to where your ass is at if you start talking some shit. You know what? Back then, certain stuff wasn't popular. Showing skin was not popular back then. Your sexuality, if you was gay or straight, was not popular back in the 80s. If you already had a brand that was selling millions of records, you cannot come out and say you're a dyke. You can't come out and say that you the G-word. Because we can't say certain things on YouTube. You couldn't say you was that if you was that. Unfortunately, you couldn't express yourself. It was all about the record companies making money off of their talent. The record companies spent tens of millions, tens of billion dollars on the artists back in the day. Artist development, clothes, wardrobe, touring, tour buses. A lot of money back then. They spent more money back then than they ever did now. It's money being spent now, but not like it was back in the 80s and 90s and stuff like that. When Wham came out, the record labels was throwing the bag on all the white Caucasian artists. So if you was not you was not black or not Latino, and you was another race or looked like another race besides black or Latino, you was getting the money, you was getting the budget that a black artist or Latino artist was not getting. Some of the pop artists was getting the multi-billion dollar budgets to run the project. Not millions, billions. I got the paperwork. So if you were an artist like Wham or a country singer, or you did rock music, you had the big budgets. So imagine what kind of money they were playing with with Wham, Columbia Records, at that time. And then of course each record deal merged into another record deal. So you had Columbia, you had Virgin, you had Epic Records. We don't want to leave out no record label. Shout out to all the record labels, shout out to Epic Records tonight as well. So at the time when uh when Wham came out, it was on the Columbia. You couldn't be uh you couldn't Columbia Records was the biggest label, one of the biggest labels out there, besides Universal Music Group and Um Warner Brothers. You had Columbia, and then you had the boutique label underneath Columbia, and you had Epic Records and Warner Music Group and Sony, and and and they also were signed to Sony. So I can't I can't not miss Sony. So let's get back into because when I do my untold stories, I break down the music industry and not just talk about what the artist's been through. And so the do's and don'ts of the music industry now is a little different. You could come out and say, I'm gay, you could do all that, which is nothing wrong with that. I love you. Could come out and say, I'm with the LGBTQ. All right, that's beautiful. I love it. Most of my friends, my mother was L G B TQ. All right. Very happily. RP to her. So what I'm trying to tell everybody is back in the 80s, you could not come out and say who you are. Who you are. You can spread yourself. It was bad for business. The record company wouldn't allow you to do it anyway. Even, even only the ones that did that did it and was successful was the ones that already made the market and music industry. So if you didn't make your marketing music industry, you can't just come out and say you you are straight or you uh you you you you you any of that. You could say you're supposed to be straight. If you're selling records to the ladies and the men liking you, but they like you more on a uh uh like you the man kind of thing, you can't come back and then say that you the other thing. Then you had a lot of churches that fell in love with George Michael. You had a lot of preachers, you had a lot of uh comics, you had a lot of different religions that fell in love with George Michael. So when the word came out in 2007, because it came out in 2007 that he was he was um gay, all right. So it didn't come out earlier. People he played with it, but he didn't come out and say he was. He like it it what is it any of your business based basically? George like listen to me. It's that and it this book is gonna be breaking that down in his book about his religion and about his sexuality and his documentary they're coming out with in June of 2026. Shout to George Michael, shout out to everybody that that allows CX1 DJs to report this and make sure this be on the untold stories. So if you say you gay, uh uh do that stop me from buying your music. Unfortunately, it can. So the the whole point of being an artist is identify yourself who you are. Back then you cannot say, you cannot say you are a certain amount, uh you you you are a certain person. You can say that you are straight or gay back then. You gotta stay, whatever your market is. Some some of the LG LGBTQ artists was accepted early on because they came in the game like that. Which I love it. But the ones that didn't wanted to keep their business private, that means they just want to give you their talent, they they um they talent. So they sexuality or what they do in their private life had nothing to do with the fans. Unfortunately, unfortunately, in this music industry, you have to brace who you are. Cause a lot of the fans, I gotta talk to one of the producers because I'm in my studio.

SPEAKER_07 32:21

Hey, I smell something burning in here. Yo, is y'all burning something?

SPEAKER_08 32:27

I'm in the studio. I think they cooking the I I did that uh um that shit fall off the bone in this motherfucker. Hold on for a minute. Hold on, hold on. Yeah, yeah, I smell I smelling something burning there. Y'all, y'all don't burn down the studio. I want to die on the George Michael shit. God damn it. Anyway, I had to check, make sure nobody burned down the goddamn studio. That fall off the bone shit back here. I don't know what the hell they doing back there. And I smell some shit burning. Let me get some water because this George Michael shit getting hot. I it gets so hot. I'm burning, I smell shit burning. Because I'm trying not to say the wrong shit. Because I don't want George Michael people to say, motherfucker, taking down, take that video down. So I'm trying to, I'm hey, y'all know I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm dreading lightly with a dread lightly, a dread lightly. So maybe because the shit I gotta say is some shit I gotta say, because I gotta say. All right, one, two. So back to what I'm saying. So you you uh you you have to uh you have to embrace who you are, but unfortunately, I want to let you un you you young artists know, you young LGBTQ artists know that back then you could get murdered for saying you were part of that organism shit today. But see, I I was I was very young when George Michael came out and hit the scene. I'm I'm 52. He hit the scene that jam, I was young. 87 he hit the scene, 1987. So I was very young. I was a George Michael fan. Everybody around me was a George Michael fan. We had to wham posters. You could not, you could not turn on a radio. I'm from Jersey, so you turn on Kiss FM, a WBLS 105W. You cannot turn on that radio prime time without hearing wham. You you you couldn't. All right, so let's just get more into it. All right, so um pr pretty much it, you know, he he found he found the group, he started the group, they sold records, they sold millions of records, and um pretty pretty much he went solo in 1989. So solo career started with Epic Records. So you might want to know why did the group break up? All right, well, the other singer in wham, which I'm not gonna mention his name, um, because I was told not to, um, and I won't, pretty much said George owed him money for royalties. All right, like any group. You thinking everybody's gonna be straight up. George, like, I wrote all the songs, I don't owe you anything. And um the guy, like, man, I don't want to do it no more. True story, no alleged. I don't want to do it no more. And George said, well, uh, you know, I already been working on my own solo thing. It's two parts of that story. I gotta break it down the whole damn story. God damn it, I don't want to do it, but I'm gonna do it. Do it for the vine, I ain't gonna do it. Do it for the vine, I ain't gonna do it. So, allegedly, because I gotta say allegedly, these two men was having an affair with each other. I wasn't there, she was there, he wasn't there, allegedly. And when I talk to uh Georgia people, they like you know, that that was the rumor. I mean, we can't clarify it because George ain't here to defend is that true or not. But I will say in a couple of interviews, he said how much he loved the other singer of Wham. How he respected him, he wishes him nothing but the best, and he would do anything for him to be successful. Right before George passed away, he made sure that other singer from Wham had$3 million in his bank account. Untold stories. CX1 DJs, untold stories of George Michael. So if you telling me I owe you money and you wait 40 years later, and then you put$3 million in my bank account. That don't mean George owed him anything. That means that George might think he needed the$3 million. And nobody got that classified information but CS1 DJs, because we are journalists now. We got 14 PRs, and none of that shit is allegedly. So George did take care of, and we heard nothing negative about George Michael when we were doing our investigation once we got to clear it that we could do this and support the documentary. The name of the documentary is George Michael. That's the name of it, it's named after him. And it'll get deeper into some information that I can't leak out. Because some of that information I don't have. I'm not privileged to have certain information that's in the documentary. Because if I'm talking about the documentary, then it won't be a documentary because CX1D just leaked out part of the documentary. But one thing I would know from my per per professional investigation is George Michael was so sad when people did not. He was sad and then he didn't give a fuck when people didn't uh uh embrace him when he came out, when he came out, and let everybody know his sexuality. And another thing, George did so many features that was unheard of. Right before George Michael passed away, he did about dirty features with some of the major artists that you never fucking heard of. I mean, you heard of, but you wouldn't believe it. He did a feature with Mary J. Blige. Did you untold story? Did you know that? He got a single out right now with Mary J. That was not promoted. He got he got some songs with Biggie Smalls that was not ever released. He got songs with Tina Marie that was not released, Untold Stories of George Michael. He got songs with Rick James that was never released. He got songs with uh Beyoncé that was never released. Untold stories of George Michael. So when you come out the when you he came out the closet, he let everybody know he was he was um he was gay back in 2020, which it was not popular because he got on the open winfree show and she told him to say, When are you worried about your record sales going down? George Michael, like, I don't care about that. I'm not doing this about the the record sales, I'm doing this about my art. And if you can't accept me for who I am of me being who I am, then you don't need to be buying my records anyway. Go ahead, George Michael. I don't understand, but I love you. That was George Michael's shit. I ain't right there. That's George shit. To give me my nail, to give me my nail. Oh excuse me. You know I gotta do my two my butter rock shit in there. My man said, and don't dine love to everything she wants, and everything she need. I I I'ma tell you something. I see why some people was disappointed because he was singing all the love shit to the girls. He said, Don't, don't, don't love you. I give you Ad and everything she needs. Now, George, I'm a RP to you. You passed away December 25th on Christmas 2016. God damn it. Why are you gonna take George on Christmas? That's some crazy shit. How you die on Christmas, George? Come on now. I love George Michael. I'm a straight man now. All right, straight over here. We straight and we're straight in at 6 o'clock. But I love me some George Michael. I don't give a what witty his sexuality is. I don't give that ain't gonna stop me from buying George Michael. I got all George Michael records. I got all Wham records, I got all George Michael records. And you notice the lead singer of that group, uh, he tried to come out with some music that shit ain't do nothing. Not the lead singer, the other singer, excuse me. God damn it. You really didn't really hear the other guy. And his people told me, hey, don't mention him in case he comes back and try to sue you. I assume who, me, CX1 DJs. She, I ain't gonna mention that nigga name ever. Well, he ain't the nigga, but I ain't gonna mention his fucking name ever. This is an uncut show, too. It's uncut. All right, it's uncut. This ain't edit, or this ain't PG. So I want everybody to know this shit is uncut. So don't say his name. I ain't saying shit. I'm just saying George Michael. We got the permission, we got the clearance to say George Michael. We ain't saying shit about the other group from wham. Because personally, when I heard wham, I didn't know it was the other fucking group. I just thought it was one person singing in the motherfucker. Because all I heard is somebody tell me everything you want and everything you need. Now, like, damn, you were singing to a man the whole time, George. That's cool, George Michael. I I love you, George. And I'm looking in this camera to his people. I love me some George Michael because I know it's people on here. I got a text from my PR saying there's people on here, and they're liking it, they're loving it, no one's offended. We all groan. Love who look my camera right here. Where my camera? Oh, right here. Love who you are. Do not ever shy away from who you are. You have you gay? Are you Like I gotta I gotta make sure I sell the shit right? You L G B T Q, love it. Don't be ashamed of that shit. Cause why are you ashamed, man? Shit. Everybody out here, LB. I really believe everybody got a little shit in them. Everybody a little shaky shaky. Nah, nigga, you tripping. No, nigga. Everybody a little shaky. Ain't not yo, ain't nothing wrong with it. I love me people. Beautiful, people, beautiful, people. It don't matter. This if you're a good person, do it matter what your sexuality is? Do it really matter if you do good music and you a good person and you help people? Do it fucking matter if you straight again? Do it really matter? Because I love I love LGBTQ. I love straight. I love jag ass. I love a good dude. I love a hater. I love a graduator. And all these motherfuckers. I know some some some of the gayest people is some real people, man. My cousin T T, he's gay, and he's real. He's a real brother. He said, man, you better motherfucker watch the motherfuckers. You watch them from the back of the front, bitch. I like God damn, T T.

SPEAKER_07 43:37

Shit.

SPEAKER_08 43:42

Shit. They don't love you, nigga. They don't love you. That's what TJ told me. He said, they just want what you got. I said, TJ, what the what the what the fuck? I'm just trying to get to the top. This is how TJ talks. And I and I love him. Out there in New York, I love him. They just want what you got. That's why they hate you. He talked like that. And he knows I always fuck with him. He like, man, you need anything from me. I'm there. That's how TT talk. And I ain't making fun of him. He told me I could, he told me I could do that. I told him I was doing George Michael. He said, Man, you could, you could, you're like, I'll be choking with him. He choked with me. He's like, You are how you're a roughneck. I'm like, I said, TJ, who the fuck's still saying roughneck in 2026? You a roughneck, cousin. He called me Cozzo. Cozzo? Shit. I don't think I'm no roughneck, though. I don't think so. But back to George Michael. Um, so yeah, so he made sure the the other singer and wham had money. Like, you know. So I got the information how he passed away. All right. So we're gonna get into that a little later on. I ain't gonna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna dim the lights right now. But I will say this. George know he was going. He this was this wasn't something that he just dropped dead on D 716, 2026. I mean 2016. He knew he was he's he's gonna be out of here. All right, untold stories. I know y'all thought George has passed away and he ain't know most people that's in different lifestyles knows it it's shit comes with a cost. Say you got the good and bad with everything, right? You know that, right? So say if you did drugs your whole life, right, and then you get off of drugs, right? And then you know, and eventually them drugs will take your life, even if you're not on the drugs. Because the drugs, I'm gonna tell, I'm gonna talk to all you people. Drugs will tear your body down, you'll know it or not. Even when you decided I'm gonna be clean, alcohol will tear your body down, even though when you say I'm decided I'm not gonna take another drink, the toll could have been already on your body already. It might be too late to take another drink or another sniff or another hit of that pipe or sniff of that blow. It might be too late to say I'm I'm done. I had one person, and this this I'm gonna get back to George Michael. This got all to do with everything. This person I know, he did drugs his whole life, all right? That he decided to stop. Then he got sick. He said, Damn, Butter Rock, I should have stayed on the motherfucking drugs. I was healthy when I was on the drugs. No. He said, because now the drugs tore my body up, so my now I'm off the drugs. I'ma I'm gonna accept anything that comes my way, my body is my immune system accepted to get all the bad shit that he thought the drugs was blocking all the bad shit. I said, no, brother. What happened was yo, you tore up your immune system, you tore up your body, so now you getting the you're getting the full effect of what the drugs did when you did it. He said, that's some deep shit. Yep. And that brother's dead right now. So RP to him. But when you're living a certain lifestyle, it comes with a price, man. It don't matter if you got a million dollars or you got$20 in your bank, it depends on how you live. And God will judge you. The universe, whoever you believe in, Allah, the universe, whatever. You have to pay for certain shit. And I think George Michael knew the lifestyle he lived. It didn't have to be with the his sexuality, why he's not here. It gotta be it gotta do with whatever, whatever went on in his life, um, in his beautiful life that he had long term. Actually, I won't say long term because he died at 52. That was very young. I'm 50, I'm 52 now. See, he he no, I think he died at 50 years. Yeah, 52. Yeah, he died at um, I'm gonna tell you right now, he did die, he died at 52. And I'm 52. So he died at a young age. Yeah, that's that's young. If anybody ran around saying 52 is not young, then uh there's something wrong with them. That is very, very, very young. I want to take a moment of silence for George Michael. CX1 DJs, we do these different podcasts, untold stories of George Michael.

Appreciate you all. Alright, so back to where we at of this interview. We definitely want to tell everybody if you in this music industry, I know, I know you you you want to be in a group, right? Everybody wants your slot. When George Michael was singing on the stages, and he was in all the videos when he was with Wham. You know is the other singer was not there, the other guy in the group. Y'all go back and look when this is over, go back and look up Wham and all the George, just look up George Michael and Wham, all right? And you're gonna see 99% of it is just George Michael. You might see the other singer and some of that shit. So I, you know, I like shit. He's a just uh backup singer, right? Uh but so when it was time to pay out the royeties, he didn't get paid the cut that he thought he was gonna get paid, the the cut that they post agreed on him and George Michael. So I'm just gonna say the other singer, I can't say his name, I didn't get it approved by him. And one thing about CX1 DJ podcast, we do everything by the book over here. We don't know, we don't want nothing flagged, we don't want nothing to we do everything by the book, along with our affiliate partners and everybody that we do journalists, journalists work with. We do it by the book. All right, so we can't say his name, but it's was another saying it was two singles in Wham. You got George Michael and the other gentleman. All right, so he was upset that he didn't get the cut that George Michael was getting. Everybody I know is in a fucking group is always getting mad at one other person in the fucking group. I ain't getting paid what I'm supposed to get. Now, when you think about it, all these decades later, now I'm gonna be honest. Let me fix my goddamn collar. All these decades, dec decades, decades, decades later, you can understand why he was pissed off. Because back when I was little, because I was little back when these motherfuckers came out. Now I'm old. I'm about the age George Michael was when he passed away. All right. So, 10 years ago. So check this out. If you look at it, who gives a fuck who's the lead singer? Just give me the goddamn music. Who cares who's get royalties? But then you get older, you start thinking, god damn, I see why that brother was mad. Because every time I turn around the teeth, I see George Michael. I don't see the other motherfucker. Do you? I don't. Now, this is about George Michael. So I ain't about to shit on George Michael on a George Michael program. You're not getting that. What you're getting is why? People like, I'm gonna get to it. Y'all, y'all don't go nowhere. Because if y'all have never been on a DJ Butter Rock, we do things different podcasts, and you're gonna you're gonna get you're gonna get the bread and butter, baby. We're not gonna give you no half-ass reporting, like some of these motherfuckers be doing. Because we do the shit for real. We we don't play around with it. So you ask yourself, why the fuck is he in the front of the line and my ass is in the back, and we in the same shit? Maybe because George Michael, like if y'all heard in the beginning, because some of y'all came in late. George Michael was the writer. All right, all right, let me make it clear. He was the writer and executive producer of all the wham music. He brung in certain elements of the group that the other singer didn't do. You ever had a motherfucker you roll with? Yo, man, guess what? I'm about to make it. We ain't about to make shit. Did that motherfucker make it? But he but George Michael wasn't one, he was a good dude, man. According to my research, he did not leave my man behind because he knew how to sing too. He did some shit. He did whatever you want to call it, he did something. Gotta have faith. He did all that shit with George Michael. And I'm hearing allegedly they did a little more than we need to know about. Well, I won't be talking about that today because I ain't my goddamn business. And George ain't here to well. George did say, you know, he didn't give a fuck. He did what he did. And he said he's not. George Michael said he's not ashamed of nothing he did in the 80s, 90s, early 2000s, 2000, the 99, 2000s. He said he ain't ashamed of shit. So the reporter asked him, so you ain't ashamed. You should just came out and say you you was that way. He like, nah, the record company said I can't do it. So let's get back to that. We're gonna rewind. We're gonna go back to that. Let's get back to the part of the group, dude. So the motherfucker, like, yo, I need what you got. If I'm writing this, is George talking to him, the other singer of Wham. If I'm writing the music, I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm arranging everything, doing all the arrangements for all the songs that we are recording in these high budget studios. I'm I'm having my attorney talk to the people from Columbia. I'm getting everything together. Now keep in mind, one thing George Michael must have forgot that I got the information here. The other guy from wham went to San Francisco and met the other band member that got them turned on to Columbia Records Untold Stories. So what my man trying to say is motherfucker, it wasn't for me, it wouldn't be no goddamn wham. Woo! My man said, yo, you might be the fucking just what he told George Michael, you might be the goddamn writer, you might be the head of the shit, you might be the damn big dog, you might be the head singer, but I'm the one that went to California in San Francisco and got the plug with another band member that turned us on to the record exec with Columbia Records. It wasn't for me going to California meeting with another band member to play instruments on the records, we would never got a deal with Columbia Records. This is what the other singer was telling George. It is none of this shit is a legend. This is real. I got the I got the T. So George was like, you know what? Ah, you're right, you're right, you're right about that. Let's just just let's just, you know, this is after they did the wham shit. This would be before he went solo. He said, Well, we'll figure that shit out with the lawyers. You know, back then everybody was on drugs, drinking cocaine. Nobody wasn't giving a fucking about nobody's royalty points or how much you're supposed to get, how much I even supposed to give you. So they went on for decades. Social, but not social. But I will say this right before he passed away, he made sure that man had three million dollars. So we gotta give, we gotta give it up for George Michael. Because some niggas die don't give you shit. You you ain't even you not even in the fucking will. So George Michael's a stand-up motherfucker, because I know people living today that owe me motherfucking money ain't give me. Nigga, I don't when I oh do I owe you some nigga, you owe me, bitch. You forgot. I don't owe you that nigga. Don't worry about it. God, you know my favorite word is when somebody owe me some money? Don't worry about it. God took care of it. That's some deep shit. That motherfucker that owe you. Yo, that's some deep shit. That nigga said God took care of it. No, nigga, he did, but men, I do want my money. Don't worry about it. You know, you tell a motherfucker, don't worry about it, bro. God got you, God pay for it. But reality, that's saying I don't want to fuck you up. I ain't trying to go to jail. You owe me some money, but I'm gonna just I'm gonna take the high road. God pay, God pay for it. If you ever heard somebody say, Don't worry about it, bro, God took it. That means he really wanna, he or she really wanna fuck you up, but they letting it go because they don't want to they want to take the high road. But back to George Michael. So, George Michael, right before he passed away, he made sure the other singer of wham had three million dollars in his goddamn bank account. Y'all give a I give a hand for George Michael on that one. Because I know, like I said, I know people right now when he gave you a goddamn dollar, you wouldn't got shit. You just been asked out. Nothing. So we gotta get we gotta give it to George Michael on that one. Now let me go ahead and uh find what I'm looking for here. Yeah, I wanna I wanna shout out to everybody in the team for definitely um coming in today. Hold on, y'all. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Yeah, this this should be acting crazy sometime, y'all.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:34

George, are you gay?

SPEAKER_02 1:00:36

Oh my god, this is a pretty pretty direct first question. Um I've never said no, I've never said yes. No, I'm not.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:43

Um but the the main the main uh thing I like to express is that I don't think it's anybody's business. It is a hell of a first question. But when you wrap yourself around sex, like George does, when you sing a song called I Want Your Sex, it seems fair enough to ask, what kind of sex do you want?

SPEAKER_02 1:01:02

In other words, what I'm saying is I don't think it benefits anybody listening to my music to know whether or not I was in bed with a dog or a man or a woman last night. It doesn't make any difference.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:10

Well, I think if I'm wrong for any young gay people, it's just because of what I survive. You know, I think it I think as a gay person, as a gay celebrity in 2007, I think what I survive is almost more important than what I do, you know, because what I do is a universal uh thing. I've never really thought of myself as a gay artist. Obviously, my being gay directs my creativity, but I've never sort of seen myself as a gay artist. But as a celebrity, I'm very much a gay celebrity because that's what the, you know, the press doesn't really let me be anything else than that.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:46

Oh my god, it's a pretty pretty direct first question. Um I've never said no, I've never said yes, no, I'm not.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:53

Um but the the main the main uh thing I like to express is that I don't think it's anybody's business. It is a hell of a first question, but when you wrap yourself around sex like George does, when you sing a song called I Want Your Sex, it seems fair enough to ask, what kind of sex do you want?

SPEAKER_02 1:03:12

In other words, what I'm saying is I don't think it benefits anybody listening to my music to know whether or not I was in bed with a dog or a man or a woman last night. It doesn't make any difference.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:20

Well I think if I'm a role model for any young gay people, it's just because of what I survive. You know, I think it I think as a gay person, as a gay celebrity in 2007, I think what I survive is almost more important than what I do, you know, because what I do is a universal uh thing. I've never really thought of myself as a gay artist. Obviously, my being gay directs my creativity, but I've never sort of seen myself as a gay artist. But as a celebrity, I'm very much a gay celebrity because that's what the you know, the press doesn't really let me be anything else than that.

They kicked in his door, they tore up his door, they tore up his house, and they just told pretty much wham bam, thank you, nigga. All right, here's a sheet, motherfucker. Send us all the shit we tore up, but we have paid for it. No, nigga, and we're gonna take you to court. So Big Jig is looking for a lawyer. So anybody got any lawyers? You could text me for 4552-8731 and I will forward it to Big Jig. Talk to them, Jig. Don't worry. They'll talk to Jig in court because he is gonna go out there and sue the U.S. Marshals. You don't come kick down that nigga door. We think he's gonna be okay. It ain't okay, Jose. All right, CX1 DJs. We do things different podcasts. I'm DJ Butter Rock. I'm your host. I'm out of here. God bless you. Chief Keefe, tomorrow 8 p.m. East Coast time. Chief Keefe untold stories of Chief Keefe, Mr. Suza and Chicago. Be in the building, right? Peace and love.
