Everything DIDDY...

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
It's another episode of the will justdegree. Why would you take a bite
from an apple when we're about todo the podcast? Why would you not
say three to two to one?Why I don't need to do all that?
Okay, I'll say, you justpress record and we just thought that's
what I do. Okay, Well, that's why I have an apple in
my mouth. Then to answer yourquestion, let's get it started, Ryan
meedialy Okay, I said, it'sanother episode podcast. They know this by

(00:23):
now is Beyonce Fox is Ryan LeeBeyonce. Let's talk about Diddy because we
know that's what we're talking about today. Break it all down. Okay.
So the whole Diddy thing, Imean, you know, that whole video
just disgusted me to my core.And I really don't have much to say
about it. It did happen eightyears ago. Statute of limitations has run
out. There could be no criminalcharges against him. He settled for the

(00:46):
millions of dollars with Cassie. Notthat this is all an excuse or anything,
however, I will say, andI know, please don't jump on
me when I say this. It'slike you can't even voice your pig nowadays
without people like, but I'm gonnasay it anyway. I was happy for
the fact that a statement was made. Now, Was I happy with the

(01:08):
actual statement. No. I justthought that they were going to evade it
since he already settled with Cassie,and since no criminal charges could be brought
against him because statute of limitations hadrun out. I was surprised that they
even had him issue an apology.Did I agree with the apology? No,

(01:33):
But I'm just looking at it fromlike a communications professional standpoint. Let
him say something that's all it's deadair. We don't do dead air in
radio. Okay, Well, what'syour point ball from what you just said?
Because from what I just said itwas my opinion is I want to

(01:57):
ask you this. That's my opinion. I want to ask you this.
Then. Where you proud of hiscommunications team when he put out that statement
a few weeks ago that we seenow was a lie. No, No,
I was not. I'm not proudof the content of what's going on.
I like the fact that they aredoing their jobs. Was he transparent?
Absolutely not. Was he authentic inwhat he said? Absolutely not.

(02:19):
But a lot of times, whenyou're dealing with these high profile celebrities.
A lot of times things go silent. That's all I'm saying. I do
we even know that was his communicationsteam that got him to do the video.
How do you not know? Diddywas just like, oh, let
me do this video to add likeI'm so most high profile people have a
team. Oh absolutely, but hecan do whatever he wants on his own.

(02:39):
I'm just I actually, rather thanhim done opposite, I'd rather him
not say nothing because at this case, that video just came out as another
lie. You did not apologize.Now we know, according to their lawsuit
and what they agreed with, neitherone of them can say each other's names
in public. So they're saying that'swhy he did not say Cassie's name in

(03:00):
the apology. But are you reallyapologizing? No, you were doing You
did that video quote unquote, whetheryou did it or your team decided to
do it. You guys only decidedto do that video because it got caught
and it was nothing you could lieabout no more and say that these people
are lying on you. That's theonly reason why they said, ooh,
Diddy, let's do a video likeRussell Simmons, Let's look like we're in

(03:23):
the same exact place, when what'sthe point you weren't really meaning nothing that
video was done because you actually wehave proof and you're trying anything you do
you can to still savage your reputationto say you went and sat on the
ladies couch, you got help.We come on now. So I'm too

(03:46):
coming from a communication standpoint that,in my opinion, was the wrong call.
Okay, just don't and I havemine. I just I hate when
people do the whole silent treatment andthey don't acknowledge anything. I'm not agreeing
again with the context of what hesaid. I'm just agreeing with the simple
fact that a statement was made.Take out what he said. I just

(04:12):
thought there would be nothing. I'mnot the video that I saw nothing,
And I'm sitting there like, okay, come on now, somebody's got to
come out of the woodworks and sayor do something otherwise this really is not
looking good. Again. It's notthe context, it's just the practice of
him making a statement. That's it. After the video that I saw that

(04:35):
it was hard to watch. There'snothing that I will give credit for for
him addressing this situation. But myquestion to you is from a communications standpoint,
because we don't like the context thatwas the content that was in that
video. If you were on theteam, what would you say say in
the video? He just acknowledged thefact that he was wrong. Period.

(05:00):
It He acknowledged the fact. Youknow, whether that's truth or not.
I'm not gonna believe a man whobeat savagely a woman. I'm not gonna
believe anything that he says when Isee it with my own eyes and how
it happened. What people failed torealize is you have to listen to what
people are saying. People are soquick to jump on Oh my god,

(05:23):
how can you think that. I'mnot saying that I get what you're saying.
Let me be very clear. I'mnot saying that you liked what he
said in the video. I'm notsaying you agree with what he said on
the video. I'm not saying youare commending him for going to get help.
I'm not saying none of that.I understand you're saying you're liking that
the team actually got him to puta statement out and not go silent.

(05:46):
Well, I'm not liking it.I respect the fact they did not hide.
Respect will say nothing the fact thatthe communications team put out a video,
and in my opinion, there's stillno respec back for that, because,
in my opinion, when you putout, excuse my language, a
bullshit video, you might as welljust stayed quiet, because in my case,

(06:06):
that was gaslighting in my opinion.But I'm not saying I was just
surprised that a statement was made.That's I'm not saying you are agreeing with
Didty. I'm not getting on you. No, I'm not saying that.
But what I get your point.You're saying you were just happy a statement
was put out. I'm just onthe side of not happy I was making

(06:30):
I am you are with what aspectedthat his team you. I want to
make this clear, you know,I just appreciate when people, whether you're
still lying or whether you have noremorse or whatever, just to not say
anything that's not good. That's notgood. That's it. This is too

(06:56):
high profile of a case for thingsto happen and nothing be said. To
have crickets, you know what Imean. I would have actually, I
won't even use the word like,I would have respected a little bit more,
just put a written statement out.I don't want to see a video
from a man lying. I don'twant to see it. I know we
live in a day an age ofvideo and get it out there quickly on

(07:20):
however many platforms we can. Themessage has to be consistent blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah. So that'sprobably why he did it that way.
And when you see people actually speaking, it just carries a little bit more
weight than a statement in my opinion. That's it. I love that this
podcast is called will Disagree to Disagree? I love that. I love it.

(07:41):
Yeah, that's why it's called that. Did you want to talk about
anything else? Well, Diddy didget another lawsuit, which one is this
from another model in two thousand andthirty. Oh my gosh. Assault.
Trust and believe, dude, weare look trust and believe when I tell
you, like that video alone fromeight years ago with he and Cassie at

(08:03):
the hotel and he's beating her likethat, That video alone is enough for
me to just be like, sir, sir, So can you imagine if
other people have proof of what he'sdone over the years. It is a

(08:24):
rap. It's it's all gonna comeout, and unfortunately on his for him
seeing the video now, I thinkwe're gonna believe any assault cases that come
out. I'll believe anything. That'swhat I'm saying. So, like anything,
I'm probably gonna believe it now afterseeing that video and this new lawsuit

(08:50):
was very descriptive and it sounds prettyaccurate. And I was not there,
but because we saw exactly what hewas able to do in public, because
we know what you're capable of doingsomething in public, not even just in
the room. In public, youwere able to whoop her and by the
elevator, you'll do anything behind closeddoor. And I heard or read somewhere

(09:13):
that he actually paid that hotel fiftythousand to release the tape. Correct,
that was one of the hotels thathe paid fifty thousand that we were supposed
to never see that tape. Whatkind of digital age world does he think?
We live in somebody where somebody's notgoing to have something, you know
what I mean? Wow, evendeleted text messages still there. It never

(09:33):
deletes. And then also speaking ofDiddy, allegedly, according to reports,
according to TMZ, fifty has soldthe Diddy documentary that he is working on
to Netflix Boy after it was abid war between different wable Boy they're saying
Netflix got it with fifty cent ohboy, and we know fifty knows.

(09:56):
I believe the series. I thinkdoing a little series double check, but
I'm pretty sure it's called did didhe do it? Wow? Well,
yeah, no, I'm sorry,did he do it? Question Mark?
Get it? Get it? Didhe do it? Did he get it?
I get it? But you knowTMZ already had a well that was
on to B that did No.I mean it's okay, now TMZ has

(10:18):
a lot of weight, now,B, what's wrong with t B?
No, I'm just saying it's aplatform that people watch well, particularly people
in our communities really watch it,so why not pinpoint the demographic. I
think this one on Netflix made alittle bit more than two. Okay,
I'm just saying, don't sleep ontub I ain't sleep. But I'm surprised

(10:41):
that documentary didn't get on regular TVbecause normally has Yeah, TMZ normally has
their documentary. I think regular TVmaybe they went a little too fast because
if I'm TMZ, I mean,yeah, you could do a part too.
But I'm like, dang, imagineif all this would have been a
part of that first one. Yeah, that's true, and fifty probably has
so much in my side he aboutto put out Oh my gosh, and

(11:05):
so many people that he could justcall from his phone and be like,
Hey, I need you to speakon this. Hey, what was your
experience with Diddy? Did this isanother documentary to land someone in jail?
Perhaps sound familiar? It could beneighbors. Mm hmm, such a sad
situation. It's crazy that way aroundthat this has become Diddy's reality. Yeah,

(11:26):
did he from making the band?Did he from before making this?
Well? For me, that waslike my first introduction to Diddy making the
band. I watched that faithful Wowfour day twenty six when there was Danny
Decine before all that. I watchedWow making the band. Me and my
brothers watched it faithfully, and backthen I did it used to be like
that is crazy, it's crazy,But you used to would just be like,

(11:48):
oh, he a boss, heabout that? And it was a
reality show. The reality reality showsthey really pump you up to be super
clearly, Yeah, I don't know, because clearly some of the things that
the Danny came members are saying nowwhat they went through that we saw on
TV was we think it was areality show, but it was the reality
actual what's her name Aubrio day andshout out to her because she has not

(12:09):
been quiet at all. She wasin that TMZ documentary. Yeah, and
she refused the money that he wastrying to pay out everybody. Also,
I do want to say, though, on all seriousness, our prayers are
with Cassie and because probably to reliveall this and to relive this video going
everywhere, it's a nightmare, nightmareand anybody else who's in a situation like

(12:31):
that. Yes, thinking of thosepeople, because that was probably triggering to
a lot of people an absolute nightmare. So yes, help is available if
you ever need help. So don'tever hesitate one more thing, and then
can we just get off Diddy?No, I was just gonna say that
Peloton Peloton uh oh, yeah,took all his music off of their programs.

(12:56):
Yeah, okay, and you knowhe's lost endorsements as well, and
at this point, I don't knowif he has any outside endorsements. I
really don't think because Revolt's gone,the liquor brand is gone, the charter
school's gone, I don't think.So that's crazy. Okay, Then we'll
have another episode of the will justagree to disagree podcast at some point.

(13:18):
