Celebrity Scoop - 50 Cent and Taylor Swift

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place. It's
the celebritiescoop on Star one oh five point seven. All right,
we are still kind of sifting through everything from this
breaking scoop. Yesterday, a sprawling FBI probe into mafia linked
gambling and sports rigging schemes led to the arrests of

(00:20):
more than thirty people yesterday. That includes Miami heat guard
Terry Rozier, as well as Portland Trailblazer's head coach and
former Piston Chauncey Billups. The investigation involves two major operations,
one centered on the use of insider information to place
bets on various NBA games, another revolving around underground poker games,

(00:43):
where high tech cheating technology was used to steal millions
of dollars from victims. This is all according to FBI
Director Cash Battel. Talking about that cheating technology, one of
the examples they spoke about in the press conference yesterday
were X ray tables, so you would flip the card
over but actually be able to see what that card was.

(01:03):
This this pretty wild. Among the defendants in the duel operations,
members of four major American crime families, as well as
current and former NBA players. By the way, both Billups
and Rosier have them placed on leave. According to the FBI,
last night, it was inside the NBA on ESPN and

(01:24):
Shaquille O'Neill very very unimpressed with what he saw from
some of his former and current stars of the game.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
That really is cool?

Speaker 3 (01:36):
What is he I'm ashamed that those guys will put
their families and their careers in jeopardy like that. There's
all saying in the hood. All money ain't good money.
So if you're making nine million dollars and you're dealing
a certain thing, like how much how much more do
you need? Especially especially if you know you get caught,
you can do jail time, lose your career, you know,

(01:57):
put and put, you know, put put a bad image
on yourself, for your family or on the NBA. I
agree with you, Truck. They they dropped a ball. You
never want to have your name involved in that when
you know the letter.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Of what the letter of the law. The FBI claims
this is a decade long mafia led poker ring. These
are the Gambino, Banano and Genevasi crime families. Rigged games
took place in Manhattan. The Hampton's Vegas. I mean, this
is going to be a massive thing. Now we haven't
heard from Billups. He did get caught by photogs leaving

(02:29):
a courthouse yesterday afternoon with no official comments, so we
will keep you updated. Fifty Cent is gushing over Taylor Swift,
mentioning him on her song ruined the friendship from that
New Life of a Showgirl album, and in the process
gave a bit of a backhanded comment about Travis Kelcey's
ex girlfriend. What is it going to give against like

(02:52):
small town?

Speaker 2 (02:54):
It really is cool because she makes the reference if
you listen to the song, is to what was going
on on in culture.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
At that time.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
That was cool to me. The shout out is.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
The shout out, But what she was making reference to
is the period that no one was more prominent in
music at that point. And then I like her boyfriend too.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
I liked the team. I like Casey, I like the
whole thing.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, okay, do you like them together? Can get what
I do?

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (03:24):

Speaker 2 (03:25):
I like a lot better than the last thing he
had going on.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
It better.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
I like it a lot better than the last thing
he had going on, referencing his ex girlfriend Kayleen Nicole
