“SPEAK YO FACTS “

Ever felt like someone entered your life not to build a genuine connection, but to spy and gather intelligence for their own gain? DJ Kornbred dives deep into the concept of "monitoring spirits" – those people who observe your movements, collect your vulnerabilities, and potentially use them against you.

Drawing from painful personal experiences, Kornbred shares how she's encountered individuals who presented themselves as friends, romantic interests, or business connections, only to discover their intentions were far from pure. "Nine times out of ten when I be thinking something... my gut be telling me something and I'd be right," she reflects, highlighting the importance of trusting your instincts when something feels off about a new relationship.

The episode offers practical protection strategies for those who suspect they might be dealing with monitoring spirits in their own lives. From setting firm boundaries around personal information to increasing digital privacy, seeking support from trusted allies, and even considering spiritual approaches to protection, Kornbred provides a comprehensive framework for safeguarding your energy and wellbeing. She emphasizes that these experiences, while painful, don't have to lead to complete isolation – the key is developing discernment about who truly deserves your trust.

Before wrapping up, Kornbred announces The Fashitsho Tha Podcast's upcoming first live event on April 19th, Dallas meets California-featuring special guests including DJ Harmonyy. Special Guest Kiid , Cj 2.0, Jay Renae and more. The event promises to be "a movie" with behind-the-scenes footage available on YouTube and audio across all podcast platforms.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Shit Show.
The podcast starts now with DJCornbread, aka the Empress.
What's up y'all?
It's your girl, dj Cornbread,aka the Empress, back with
another one man.
We got to talk about thesemonitoring spirits.
Monitoring spirits I'm sayinglike I've been feeling like

(00:20):
people that have been around merecently, something I'm going to
say everybody, you listen, noteverybody might not be you, but
some people I feel like they arearound for malicious intent,
like they're around for anotherreason.
Some people have come, camearound me recently, I feel like,
and it was just to help face upat or to make you know, get

(00:45):
them right for a second, or youknow anything like it's you
gotta watch people.
I'm just gonna say say that yougotta watch people and and it's
sad to say that when youthinking that you're being a
friend or trying to helpsomebody out, and it's this net
and they intent behind the wholebeing around, a situation this
is is so malicious it's not evenwhat you would expect and that

(01:10):
that is real, real crazy.
To me that's not, not cool atall.
But for those of you who don'tknow what a monitoring spirit is
, a monitoring spirit is a termthat's commonly used in
spiritual or religious contexts,particularly in Christianity
and some African traditions, butit refers to a type of

(01:34):
malicious or unclean spirit thatis believed to observe, track
or influence a person's actionsor your thoughts and your
behavior.
Actions or your thoughts andyour behavior.
So, like the spirit is thoughtto monitor a, the spirit is
thought to like monitor aperson's life, or it might be a
person that's you know, thatcomes around, often for a

(02:01):
purpose of to cause harm orconfusion or spiritual
oppression or something likethat.
Because, like in some belief,belief systems, monitoring
spirits that are seen as agentsof, like witchcraft, dark forces
or evil spirits sent by others,sometimes referred to as a
spiritual enemy to spot on or tointerfere with the person's
destiny, relationships orprogress, you know.

(02:21):
So these spirits believe tooperate like in the background,
so feeding information tospiritual enemies or even
hindering, like personal successand like your spiritual growth.
So you have to watch people.
Like I said, you have to really, really watch people and watch.
You know, watch your every movewhen it comes to people,
especially these days.

(02:41):
Like some people believe thatidentifying and dealing with
monitoring spirits involves,like prayer, spiritual warfare
and specific rituals, you know,to protect oneself or, you know,
to restore your spiritual peace.
But like, however, like theconcept and significance of
monitoring spirits can like varydepending on your faith and

(03:03):
your like your worldview of it.
So, like, if you think someoneis acting as a monitoring spirit
in your life, like someone isspying on you or tracking your
actions and like a harmful orintrusive way, it's very, very,
very, very important to likeapproach the situation

(03:26):
thoughtfully and carefully,because you need to consider
taking like certain type ofsteps on you when you, you know
think somebody is a monitoringspirit, because like stuff can
like take a turn, especially ifthey don't get what they come
that came around for.
You know, some people get whatthey come around for when they
really just turn their ass, butthen it's like so obvious of

(03:46):
what they were around for,especially when people just go
MIA and you don't hear from themno more or they not calling or
talking to you like they used tousually do.
So that's one way that you knowI can tell.
But like here's some like somesteps you can do to like
consider beforehand, so, likeone, evaluate the situation
objectively, like access theirbehavior before jumping to like

(04:10):
conclusions.
Try to access like legitimatereasons for their behavior, like
sometimes people might notintrusive, might not seem
intrusive without maliciousintent.
Well, they might seem intrusivewithout malicious intent.
Trust your instincts.
Trust your instinctsive withoutmalicious intent.
Trust your instincts.
Trust your instincts, that'sone big one.
Trust your instincts, likewhile it's important to assess
the situation carefully, don'tignore your gut feelings.

(04:34):
You know, like, if yousomething's telling you, yeah,
and 9 times out of 10, when I bethinking something, I think it
and it'd be right, it'd be rightmy gut be telling me something
and I'd be right, 90 of the time, 10 I might be off and I'll be
like, oh, okay, well, maybe, butthen later on it'll everything
come to the light and it'llstill be some ish.
You know so.

(04:55):
And if you feel uncomfortableor suspect something is off,
your feelings might be valid.
And that was points to that.
Like to set boundaries also.
Set boundaries like limitpersonal information.
Be cautious, please be cautiousabout what you share with these
people, because I've done itbefore and you thinking they're
here for you and really they'renot.

(05:15):
They're just there to getinformation, to know what the
fuck is going on.
Avoid giving out personal,private or sensitive information
that could be used against youor exploited.
You got to watch people there,they'll do.
It's people that will do shitlike that.
I've had that happen before too.
You might think that youopening up and talk to somebody
that really cut for you and careand really on the background,

(05:35):
that's why they won't jump inand do shit, because they don't
give a fuck.
I've had a homeboy that did thesame thing and they really,
like I said they'd be sittingthere, they'd catch all the
information, but they reallydon't give a fuck.
They leave you high and dry andjust to be having a
conversation with them for noreason and be direct, like if
it's necessary, if you feel safedoing so, like step back with

(05:59):
the person politely, be firm andlet them know they're over
overstepping or making youuncomfortable and just telling
that you got to move around somepeople.
You have to do that too.
Like you have to tell them orbe up front and and just be, you
know, like with it, becausesome people they'll just kick
you and just treat you like shitor just keep, like I said,

(06:20):
doing the things to you becausethey you're not saying shit
about it.
So and three, increase privacyand security.
So like digital privacy.
If you suspect someone is likemonitoring you digitally.
Consider like tightening upyour online security, like
changing your passwords usingthe two-step, the two-step

(06:41):
authentication, the two-step uhauthentication, reviewing how,
or reviewing who has access toyour like social media, like
your facebook tiktok, I don'tcare.
Like you're a content creator,like promoter, whatever you do.
Like I will limit the amount ofpeople you have, because I've
had somebody do that to me too,as opposed to being a person
that was doing my promo onlineand nine times out of ten I mean

(07:05):
most likely, and really theywere some of my own monitoring
spirit type shit Like theyreally was around to get
information on some maliciousintent to give my shit to these
other people and to fuck me offwhen it came to me being on a
radio station.
So it's, I mean, people gotfucked up intentions.
That's all I'm going to say.
As far as your physical privacy,like, keep your personal space

(07:26):
at home work environment secure.
Like I don't be tellingeverybody where you, where you
work.
Don't be doing all that lettingthem know every little thing.
Hell, no, because this mayinclude involve like locking
your doors, using privacyscreens or being mindful of who
is around you when you'rediscussing like certain
information, because that reallyreally matters, and then avoid

(07:48):
confrontation.
Like it's unsafe, likedepending on who it is and what
it is and what they're aroundfor.
Try to avoid confrontation withall means.
I mean try to avoid that Likeif you feel like the person is a
threat or you sense danger,like direct confrontation,
especially if you are on a likeunsure of their intentions,

(08:08):
because I've had somebody aroundme that acted like they wanted
to marry me and really wasaround to use me and set me up
and I really think they was alsobasically would have sacrificed
me on some shit because theytried to lie and make it like it
was the other way, it was me onsome shit like that.
But no, you have to watchmotherfuckers like that because

(08:28):
you are unsure of theirintentions and they'll have the
whole world feeling like a damnfool, including their family
members.
Instead of focusing onprotecting yourself and removing
yourself from the situation assafely as possible, that's what
you need to focus on protectingyourself and getting away from
the situation.
So if you don't feel like youneed to just take that next step

(08:49):
and do all that extra, thenconfront the person and just
move around silently Like don'tsay shit, just move around and
just, if you can't do it likeright, a hundred percent, just
piece by piece, move, do certainlittle things or whatever,
until you 100 just out of there,and then five seek support.
Like it was hard for me to liketalk to people or talk to

(09:11):
somebody when this was happeningto me, because of the stuff
that the person told me whathappened to me.
If I did so, I would say talkto like a trusted friend or a
mentor if you're, if you'reunsure, like seeking advice from
someone you trust can offerlike a different perspective on
a situation or what's going on.
So, and you know they maynotice things you didn't or help

(09:32):
you access the situation,because there was some stuff
that I didn't see or I didn'tknow.
The other people told me orthey saw certain little things
and I'm like, oh okay, now I seewhy he was acting like that.
Now I see why he was actinglike that.
Now I see why she was actinglike that, you know.
So that is well.
Consider professional health Ifyou.

(09:52):
Well, if the monitoring feelsharmful or is impacting your
wellbeing, it might be worthspeaking with a counselor or a
spiritual advisor If you believethis is a spiritual matter, or
a therapist, depending on howbad it is or depending on I
wouldn't even say how bad it is.
It doesn't even have to be bad.

(10:12):
You still can help or speak toa therapist or a spiritual
counselor.
So it don't even have to justbe super bad, even at the first
point where you just think that,okay, I'm going through this, I
don't even know what this is.
Six spiritual or faith-basedapproach.
So if you're concerned, it'sspiritual, as in the case of a

(10:36):
monitoring spirit, many peopleturn to prayer, spiritual
welfare practices or seek theguidance of a spiritual leader.
Praying for protection, likeasking for divine protection or
intermission, can provide peaceof mind and help shield you from

(10:57):
negative influences.
Or cleansing rituals orspiritual counseling.
If you're into things like that, like in some traditions,
individuals may undergospiritual cleansing or work with
a counselor to help removenegative influences, if that's
your thing.
Legal or professional help ifthat's your thing Legal or

(11:17):
professional help, like if youfeel like you're being stopped
or harassed legal options may beavailable and they are
available, you know, maybe likeif you ain't touting your help
and got your gut on deck orwhatever, like you know so like,
such as like restraining ordersor reporting the behavior to
authorities.
You know, like in extreme cases, if it's crucial to you, know,
you just need to ensure yoursafety and wellbeing by

(11:39):
involving the proper authoritiesif that's the case, if it gets
that bad, you know.
So I would just say, like, withmonetary experience, like you
have to watch certain people oncertain things, like certain
people could be there for somelike little malicious intent or
just to try to help themselves,be like like little malicious
intent or just try to help theystuff get like a little boost or
they just need I don't care ifit's as much as staying at your
house, you know, or needing acouple hours to live here or

(12:03):
this is that I don't care whatit is money, any of that.
Like people is that's fucked up, that people do shit like that
no matter what they feel, likethey they are old or like that
people just need to be 100 andthey're not.
So I mean, the best course ofaction like really depends on
the specifics of the situation.

(12:23):
Like trust your judgment andlike prioritize your well-being
and safety at all times is allI'm going to say, because these
people out here they be onsurreal ish and it's it's really
hard.
It's hard to trust these people.
It is really hard to trustthese people to the point where
they'll have you not wanting toreally be around anybody because

(12:45):
you don't even know what theintent of the of you know the
person is.
If everybody, if them there'snine out of nine times, nine out
of ten people in your life comearound on some malicious
behavior and they just trying tobe around for something that's
gonna benefit them or whateverthe case, they you know, they,
it you know it might be thatmakes a person not really want

(13:06):
to deal or fuck with nobody.
Then it makes it hard forpeople that come around and they
they are real people, they realmotherfucking people they not
know trying to use themotherfuckers you know, and
they're not on no time like this.
But when you are aroundmultiple people or not even
around, like most people thatcome around you, they own that

(13:27):
malicious intent type tomonitoring spirit type shit.
It makes you not even want tohave friends and other shit
because you don't know who who'stalking about you in the other
room.
Like they say, vets leads toother rooms.
So when you vent to people youhave to watch who you vent to,
because vets lead to other roomsand when those vets lead to
other rooms, meaning that thatinformation that you've been

(13:49):
into to that person most likelyit done made it to another room
and you be thinking that youtalking to somebody that's gonna
help you or give you an idea.
But when you talking tosomebody and you asking them a
question, or you got some shitgoing on and they ain't got shit
to say, they don't really knowor I don't know.
They never on no try to tellyou what you should do or you
know, this isn't that like yougotta watch people like this?

(14:12):
I didn't think nothing of it atfirst.
I thought it was like no, theyjust probably, you know, just
wants to go, and now they reallydon't give a fuck, they don't
care, they don't care.
And I don't have some homeboys.
You know that.
Show me what type of personthey really are.
So you know, and homegirls.
So now you really added her.

(14:32):
Added her to the board with noneed to even reach back out to
me.
So but yeah, all right, y'all,I'm gonna get out of here.

because I don't need none ofthem monitoring demonic
motherfuckers coming around.
