Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
According to Ditty's defense attorney, Diddy is somewhat of a
hero in the prison now. Diddy's attorney told the Associated
Press that Diddy got a standing ovation from his fellow
inmate when he returned to federal prison following his verdict
last week. They all said, quote, we never get to
see anyone who beats the government. Did he, as you know,

(00:21):
was acquitted of three serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering,
but convicted on two counts under the Man Act for prostitution.
The applause from fellow inmates showed how rare it is
to see someone score any type of win in federal court.
So was that shocking when you guys heard the verdict?
Was it shocking to you?

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Well?

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yeah, I mean because from the very beginning, you know,
when the boys which the alphabets come to your house
on ay jackets atf FBI Ciada. Anytime the boys come
you have a major problem. I thought it would go
far worse, but and then when it didn't, it didn't

(01:05):
really make me glad or sad. I'm I'm impartial to it.
I'm like I said before, I don't relish in the
downfall of anybody. I'm just not that person, man, I
don't I'm not. Yeah, good, he going away for life.
I hate to see that. I hate to see people
come to that part where they get written off and

(01:28):
thrown away. I hate that for anybody. Now, you know, look,
you murdered somebody, you know you got to go. And
I'm not saying that what he did wasn't wrong. But
what they what he was on trial for, they didn't prove.
They didn't prove. Now, if he was on trial for
domestic violence, and you could get a lot of time

(01:48):
for domestic violence, he'd be he be in prison for
a while. Like what they took him in there like that,
you didn't like what?

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Tell me?

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Jumping on that girl, that and the whole that's what
That's what cost him everything. It opened up the Pandora's box,
you know, But you it just goes. I just hope
that young men who witnessed this don't don't see the
part that he's getting away with, because I'm telling you

(02:21):
right now, he's not getting away with anything.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
You still you still have to answer to God. I
don't care who you are. You still got to answer
to the Creator. You have to you have to.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Atone for his life, were living down here. So all
the people that he got off easy, they should have
did this. That's the system we got in this country.
And he and he may get off even more. And
and but I want young people, young men out there,
to start thinking. Man, if you get fortunate enough to
get to where you finally ask God to take you.

(02:59):
When you get that, man, act like you got some sense.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Don't abuse it.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah, man, stop stepping on people because you can't. My father,
my father in law's favorite quote is just because you
can do something, don't mean you should shit, man, You
just you just can't because you I got the money,
I got the power. Okay, Okay, you know all that
can be taken away. Money and power get away from

(03:24):
people all the time, all the time.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yea.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
They just hope young people don't look at this and
just learn learn man, you know. Yeah, all right, all right.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Moving on to master P. Master P announced his retirement
from hip hop with a farewell performance at Essence Vest
over the weekend. The concert served as a tribute to
master P's legacy that spans almost four decades. At age
fifty five, master P told people that he is looking
forward to focusing on his role as head coach and

(03:58):
president of basketball operations at the University of New Orleans.
He said, quote, it's a blessing now to be able
to transition into doing something that's bigger than me. Being
a servant is my most important job. I feel like
hard work got me here, and that chapter closed itself
with maturing and growing up and not being afraid to

(04:20):
grow unquote. So Steve got to ask you this. You're retired.
We were all there. You retired from stand up back
in twenty twelve to focus on your many jobs and
TV and just to move forward. So on fifteen, yeah,
you might be right, it might be fifteen. I'm not sure.
But anyway, you retired from stand up and you know,

(04:43):
to focus on other things. So do you have any
words of encouragement for master p or anyone who's considering.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
First of all, I've always been a huge Master P fan.
I just think he's a great dude, man. I think
Pus he's just a good person man, just solid, solid
dude man.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah. Man, But like like I say, you know.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Your career is what you paid for, but your calling
is what you made for. And I think people who
are in the public eye who are public figures, who
who get famous or well off behind this business that
that goes to a certain point in your life. You know,

(05:27):
I think you all, all of us have to evolve
into something else. I don't want to try to hang
on to something until they don't want me no more.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
You know.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
I've always wanted to prepare to myself to get out
before they asked me out, you know, And so P
has done that as a businessman and all of that,
and so I think it's well deserved, and I just reckon.
I suggest to everybody think about your future, because where you.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Are now, you can't. You will not stay there. Yeah,
I stay there.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Change is inevitable, so you have to participate in it
or you can react to it. If you react to it,
you're going to be behind eight ball. So you might
as well participate in the.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Change that's come twenty twelve. It doesn't seem like it
was that long ago, but it says twenty twelve. Yeah,
so there are dates. Congratulations.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
I know.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
All right, you're listening. Steve Hardy Morning Show
