The fro is flowing and so is the truth as we dive into the most shocking development yet in the Diddy trial: his defense team has announced they won't be calling a single witness. Not one person willing to stand up and testify for a man who spent three decades at the pinnacle of culture and entertainment.
What does it say about a person when they can't find one friend, colleague, or even family member to speak positively about their character while facing a potential life sentence? We break down this extraordinary strategy from all angles, examining whether it's brilliant legal maneuvering or tacit admission of an overwhelming prosecution case. Legal experts suggest this decision signals the defense believes "the juice isn't worth the squeeze" – any potential benefit from witness testimony would be obliterated during cross-examination.
Meanwhile, celebrity abandonment has reached fever pitch with Oprah Winfrey and TD Jakes publicly distancing themselves from any association with Diddy's infamous parties. We analyze how quickly the powerful circle the wagons when one of their own falls from grace, and what it reveals about the authentic relationships in celebrity culture. As one insightful quote notes: "Imagine 30+ years of leading the culture, covering magazines, touring the world, hosting the most popping industry parties, making hits and making millions, and not making one single real friend along the way."
The prosecution's case appears formidable, with RICO charges similar to those that sent R. Kelly to prison for 30 years – though many observers note Diddy's case seems significantly stronger. With closing arguments expected Thursday and a potential verdict by Friday, we're approaching the culmination of what many consider "the trial of the century." Join us as we continue our unfiltered coverage of this historic case and what it reveals about power, celebrity, and accountability.

But today we're gonna call itthe fro.
Today is the fro show, nofilter.
But before we get into thisdiddy crap, let me cover my ass.
(00:24):
No ditty.
The thoughts, views andopinions shared on the Flow Show
no Filter are for educationaland entertainment purposes only.
I am not a professional, I amjust.
Good morning y'all.
(00:48):
Good to see everybody.
The breakfast crew is in thebuilding.
C-tuck, angie, lily, melissa,tracy, alicia, c-tuck, my boy.
What's up y'all?
This is a mess.
I hopped in the shower today.
I got out of the shower Ilooked in the mirror.
(01:10):
I said the fro is froing.
Today.
I'm going to bring the fro outfor today's show.
Hope y'all don't mind.
The fro is going to join ustoday and we got a lot to get
into Taco Tuesdays, ooh.
Into Taco Tuesdays, oh.
Last Taco Tuesdays I had somepeach, some type of peach,
(01:32):
something taco.
Oh, my God.
I ate every last one of themthings and I'm probably going to
get them again this weekbecause once I find something I
like, I wear it out.
Once I find a new food that Ilike, I wear it out.
Once I find a new food that Ilike, I wear it out until I get
tired of it.
I'll probably have those peachtacos again today.
(01:52):
Hope you get you a taco, like Isaid.
Once again.
Good morning to the breakfastcrew.
Melissa said yes, the fro isflowing, baby.
Yeah, hey, I gotta give it acouple pats for that boom.
You should see it in person.
(02:13):
I'm just playing.
But um, without further ado,let's get into what's going on.
Man, this diddy, this diddycase is one of the craziest
cases I ever covered.
I mean, no matter how much theprosecution proves their case,
(02:33):
we always had an element of whenyou got big money, anything can
happen.
And I think that's what reallyhas everybody on edge about this
case.
Because no matter how much,rico, the prosecution has proven
, we know two things.
We know Diddy got a whole lotof money and we also know these
(03:00):
jurors have been coming andgoing as they please.
I don't give a damn what nobodysay.
Me myself.
I would have preferred asequestered jury, much like we
had in the OJ trial, much likewe've had, in a lot of hope,
high profile trials.
I've told y'all from the verybeginning I don't care what
(03:21):
nobody say, I just I didn't.
I don't feel good about thisjuror not being sequestered in
New York with a defendant whohas been proven to intimidate
motherfuckers.
But we shall see.
Angela said we don't mind.
I don't mind If he runs downthe pole with that usher say I
(03:51):
don't mind, I don't mind If heruns down the pole with that
usher said I don't mind.
Fro real.
Julie says fro real.
Yeah, the fro is real, the fro.
Let the fro be with you.
Good morning, punk rock girl.
Hope everybody have a goodbreakfast today.
But yeah, that's the only.
My only concerns is that thisjury has been coming and going
(04:13):
and New York is already crazy.
Who knows?
But we'll see and let's getinto it.
So hope everybody is enjoyingtheir Tuesday morning.
Betsy, we got.
Yeah.
Johnny says she still can'tbelieve the jury wasn't
sequestered.
The jury wasn't sequestered.
(04:33):
Yeah, I really don't understandthe thought process behind that
.
Yeah, the jury, the defense,the defense made a shocking
claim.
We're going to get into that.
Melissa says New York iscorrupt, very, very, very, very,
(04:53):
very corrupt.
But let's get in today.
We're going to start a littleearly too.
No more, no more, ain't no much.
I got my Diet Coke.
Take a swig.
Now I can do my gig.
Let's go.
I've been working on the shirts,y'all.
(05:15):
So tomorrow, god willing, I'llbe launching the shirts and then
Wednesday night or Thursdaymorning I'll be in New York for
the closing arguments and I gota strong feeling we might have a
verdict Friday.
So if everything goes well,I'll be out there for the
verdict too.
But the merch is going.
(05:37):
I got.
I've been working on the shirtsy'all wanted.
I got a Kick Rocks with FlipFlops shirt I got.
I Am Just Good I got.
And I got a few other ones thaty'all wanted.
I got a Kick Rocks with FlipFlops shirt I got.
I Am Just Good.
I got a few other ones thaty'all requested, of course I got
, and I Don't Like it.
I use mostly all y'all'ssuggestions, looking forward to
(05:58):
y'all enjoying the merch store.
Hopefully I can launch ittomorrow while we're on the show
.
That's my hope.
But I want to start off with aquote as we get into this Diddy
mess.
I want to start off with aquote, and this has come from a
page called the Diddy Docket onX, formerly known as Twitter,
(06:25):
and it says imagine 30 plusyears of leading the culture,
covering magazines, touring theworld, hosting the most popping
industry parties making hits andmaking millions, and not making
(06:45):
one single real friend alongthe way.
Shout out to Diddy Doc.
You know, I think that's apowerful quote Doing all of that
and not making one real friendalong the way.
(07:05):
Nobody to step up.
And why am I starting todaywith that quote?
Well, yesterday I broke the newsthat the defense announced they
don't have a single witness.
They don't have a singlewitness.
(07:26):
They don't have any motherMF-er to speak on Diddy's behalf
.
Not one.
His mama ain't speaking, sonain't speaking, ashton Kutcher
ain't speaking.
Ellen called Diddy her snuggleMcFugglefuggle or whatever the
(07:49):
hell she done.
Skipped town.
I'm hearing she out the country.
Everybody's saying who knows,but I do know where she's not,
and that's not defending hersnuggle fucker or whatever she
called Diddy.
This is why.
(08:12):
Oh, and then, out of all ofthat, naomi Campbell.
She had multiple tweets talkingabout happy birthday to my
brother.
I'll never leave your side, oralways by my side, forever by
your side, but see to me forever.
I guess forever to me don'tmean the same as forever to
Naomi Campbell, because forevermeans forever, a long time.
(08:34):
I guess Naomi meant foreveruntil you really need me.
Then it's screw you.
But this is why I've always beena man of the people.
This is why I've never beenclose, nor did I ever give a
fuck about being cool withcelebrities.
(08:57):
I got a couple celebrityfriends, but they are
celebrities who are real peopleto me.
But for the most part, I'vealways been more comfortable
with the people like y'all, likemy community, because see the
people we genuine.
When you down, we going to pickyou up.
We going to ride with you.
(09:17):
Celebrity world.
When somebody down, they getthe fuck away and so it's all
fake.
Now, do I blame them for notbeing by Diddy's side?
I don't blame them.
Diddy treated people like shitand I was there.
(09:40):
I know I'm not talking from noarticles, I'm talking from being
in the circle running aroundwhen I was rapping and
witnessing.
Diddy treated people like purehorse shit and this is why we're
(10:02):
here.
And out of all thosecelebrities, out of all those
celebrities that Diddy didparties for, made hits for and
was on their shows and all ofthat, the only straggler he
could get was Crazy Kanye, andeven Kanye showed up for five
(10:28):
minutes and got the hell out ofthere.
Now there's a rumor that he'sback out there, but they're not
going to put Kanye on no damnwitness stand.
We know that.
So when they made thatannouncement I don't know if
I've ever seen that and y'alltell me in the chat.
I don't know if we've ever seenand I don't give a.
(10:53):
Like some people are trying tosay it's not the defense's
burden to prove, to proveinnocence.
But why do y'all have, why doy'all have, why do y'all even
why does every defense teampresent a case for a couple
weeks then?
So I don't want to hear thatshit like don't tell me, don't
(11:16):
piss on me and tell me it'sright, there are no witnesses
because nobody wants to speak onit and everybody's guilty.
They act like we forgot that.
They said they were going toput a vashta from human
resources, from bad boy fromdiddy's company.
(11:37):
They said they were going toput vashta on the stand where.
Why she ain't on the stand?
Because they know thatcross-examined would have chewed
her up and spit her out.
This is what happens whenyou're caught red-handed.
Don't tell me no shit about.
You ain't got no bird in theproof and every case I've ever
(12:00):
seen the defense has witnesses.
I ain't never seen one wherethe defense didn't have one
single MF-er to come up thereand speak on your half.
At least speak to yourcharacter what they call that
character witnesses.
(12:21):
You ain't got nobody to go upthere and say, man, my bro Diddy
is a good guy, he would neverdo these things.
You ain't got nobody to saythat.
Thank you for the super chat,linda.
I'm going to give me some.
I'm going to give me an extrataco on Linda.
Thank you, linda, I reallyappreciate it.
(12:42):
I'm going to give me an extrataco today and I'm going to
think about you.
I'm going to call that extrataco Linda.
I'm going to put that taco inthe air.
I'm going to say this is forthe great Linda.
She was a beautiful person andI'm going to smash that taco
like you ain't never seen before.
(13:06):
Tacos do not last long.
In my hand I got a big mouthcouple bites, boom Gone.
Next taco I need about four orfive of them.
So if y'all want to give mesome more stupid super stickers
y'all know I'm greedy.
I'm about 6'3".
240 pounds, 235 pounds, bigdude.
I eat a lot, so I wouldappreciate it.
I'm going to pour a little outafter I demolish that taco.
(13:30):
I'm going to pour a little outfor Linda's super sticker.
In all seriousness, I thank you,but you ain't got nobody to go
up on the stand and say, man,the Sean Combs I know would
(13:51):
never do these things he'saccused of.
What about all them people withall the free puff shirts, the
family members, the godfathersand all these people speaking up
?
Everybody has something to say,even the creeps in the comments
.
See, it's easy to talk in thecomments, it's easy to put on a
(14:14):
free puff shirt and walk aroundin New York for attention.
But when you've got to put yourhand, but when we find it out,
when it's time to put that handon the Bible and say you swear
to tell the whole truth andnothing but the truth, so help
you God.
We got billions and billionsand billions of people on this
(14:36):
planet, billions on this planet,and we can't find one person to
put their hand on the Bible andgo up there and say I wanna
tell the truth about Sean Combs.
Let that sink in.
Let that sink in.
Not one person that's telling.
(15:04):
I don't give a damn how theytry to spin it.
We're going to go over a couplearticles where we're going to
get both sides.
You know that's what we do onthe Flow Show.
We're going to get both sidesbecause, hey, I don't know
everything.
Maybe it is a good sign for thedefense, maybe they do feel
like ain't nothing been chosen.
Okay, anquinette Anquinette,hold up Anquinette Anquinette,
(15:27):
hold up Anquinette Anquinette.
I'm about to pass out.
I'm about to have a good tacoday.
Anquinette Brown, thank you forthe $20 super sticker Shit.
After today I'm going to belike 6'3", 245 pounds.
Y'all about to put an extrafive pounds on me today.
I appreciate it, big dude, bigdaddy, but that's crazy.
(15:54):
And if I'm a juror, I can'thelp but look at that as an
innocent man.
You got to have somebody that'sgoing to speak for you.
If you're an innocent man, Idon't even see how a jury could
not look at that as a negative.
I don't see it, y'all.
(16:19):
Now we're going to get into somearticles, and first let me get
into this.
Get into some articles.
And first let me get into this.
Since we're on the subject ofcelebrities, all the celebrities
told Diddy he can kick rocksfrom flip-flops with no socks,
and that'll be on a t-shirt.
Y'all can buy it tomorrow.
But I ain't never seen so manypeople tell somebody to kick
(16:43):
rocks so much.
That's why Diddy was so thirstyto drag Kanye West into it.
He was trying to find somebodywho was stupid enough to join
this freak off party.
And since we're on the subjectof celebrities who are acting,
(17:06):
brand new all of a sudden, don'tnobody know Diddy?
Not too long ago, diddy was thedarling.
He was on everybody's TonightShow.
He was on everybody'scommercial.
Everybody wanted to take apicture with him.
He was even involved in thepolitical.
(17:28):
He was a Democrat Voter died.
And now he is fighting for hislife, looking at a life sentence
.
And he can't even get CousinJunebug to get on the stage.
Now does he have a cousin namedJunebug?
(17:49):
Hell, no, that's just ametaphor.
This is the flow show, nofilter.
You know I'm liable to sayanything, but for real.
So let's talk about two peoplewho just distanced themselves
from Diddy, before I even getinto the court jargon and the
(18:14):
mumbo jumbo Oprah and TD Jakes.
I don't know if y'all saw theclip, but they had some function
, but they had to let it beknown All of a sudden.
They don't know if y'all sawthe clip, but they had some
function, but they had to let itbe known.
All of a sudden, they don'tknow Diddy.
Oprah says she ain't never beento a Diddy party.
Td Jake said I'll get into thearticle, I ain't going to spoil
(18:37):
it.
So this article comes from theIndependent.
Y'all know I love theIndependent, I like this
publication because they getinto the fucking nitty gritty.
They don't give any Fs.
This one, the Independent, saysOprah Winfrey and Bishop TD
Jakes addressed rumors theyattended Diddy parties.
(19:00):
It says Mega Church Pastor TDJakes did admit to briefly
visiting the rap mogul's houseto wish him happy birthday.
So let's get into this article.
Oprah Winfrey and the highprofile pastor, bishop TD Jakes,
have both publicly deniedattending parties hosted by
(19:24):
embattled rap mogul Sean DiddyCollins.
Now, before I continue in thisarticle, y'all, if all of a
sudden, nobody was at the Diddyparties.
When I saw the Diddy parties,they looked packed to me, they
looked star-studded, it lookedlike everybody was there.
The who's who, the who, ain'tthe has-beens even snuck in.
(19:48):
Now, all of a sudden, my eyeswas lying to me.
Wasn't nobody at the damn party?
How that work?
Now, all of a sudden, wasn'tthem, motherfucker, at the Diddy
party?
I could have swore them.
Diddy parties was packed.
Were those bots?
(20:11):
Were those mannequins?
What were all these bodies thatI saw at the Diddy party,
because all of a sudden nobodywas at the Diddy party.
It's.
It's comical to me, but let'scontinue.
(20:34):
Combs, 55, is currently on trialfor new york in new york,
facing charges of ex-rafficking,transportation to engage in
prostitute and racketeering, andmany of the allegations center
around the drug-fueled sexparties known as freaks the
parties that Okay.
(20:57):
So now it says.
On social media,unsubstantiated claims and
AI-generated images have linkedboth Winfrey and Jakes to these
events.
According to the reports in EEWMagazine, the publication of
Christian organizationempowering everyday women, the
(21:17):
pair addressed the scruelessrumors while on stage at the
Good Soul Forum in Dallas, texas.
They had to go all the way toDallas, texas, to tell Diddy to
kick rocks.
Don't, nobody know Diddy, nomore.
Nobody ever knew him.
(21:39):
Jay-z don't know him.
Him and Jay-Z was having photoops, posing, doing all kind of
poses, doing this and this andshoulder to shoulder and
toasting glasses, and then hedon't know, I don't be.
Now, it's one thing to take apicture.
(22:01):
It's one thing to take apicture.
You can say, hey, let me fixthis light, let me see if I can
get a little bit more light.
Yeah, there we go, give me alittle light.
A little light in this.
There we go.
Give me a little light.
Give me a little light in this.
There we go.
I ain't that dark now.
Have me looking like Shaq.
(22:21):
I got a little golden tone inmy joint, but anyway, I
understand.
They can say, hey, anybody cantake pictures.
But and just because you takepictures with somebody don't
mean you know them.
(22:41):
But when you're taking pictureslike this and like this and
like this and doing all thesecrazy ass poses, you know that
person.
Jay-z said he ain't know this.
(23:02):
Well, why was you taking allthese jail pose pictures with
him, holds pictures with him?
That's why I don't fool withcelebrities.
Y'all have made me famous andI'm still kicking it with y'all.
(23:24):
I'm still kicking it with theregular people.
I'm not.
I don't trust no celebrity.
I don't want y'all they fakeand I know they fake Loving your
theatrics.
Hey, this is what we do.
This is what we do.
Early morning People be like howyou got so much energy in the
(23:46):
morning.
I'm a morning person.
This is when I shine, when I goout of town and I kick it.
I fuck a day party up.
I'm the day party king.
At night can't do it.
I turn into a pumpkin.
10, 11 o'clock I turn into apumpkin.
I'm ready to go night night,but in the morning or during the
(24:08):
day I'm a firecracker anyway,don't.
Nobody know him.
So Oprah continues after shesaid Oprah says I have never
been near a puff party.
Now, I don't want to call opraha liar.
(24:34):
I don't want to call oprah aliar, but it's hard for me to
believe she was never.
Now I'm not gonna say I thoughtoprah was at no free call.
I ain't gonna say that I dondon't think.
I definitely don't think Oprahwas baby oiled up with Astro
(24:54):
Glide.
But I'm talking about theregular puffy parties.
Hard for me to believe she wasnever, ever at one.
I don't.
That's hard for me to believe.
Anyway, let's continue.
She says I have never been neara puff party.
I'm glad I adjusted that lighty'all.
(25:18):
I was looking like damn, I gota tan.
She continued Anybody who knowsme knows If there is a party,
I'm the first one out.
The nature of my personality isthat I am not a party person.
This is not who I am.
I like to sit at home with mythoughts by the fire with the
(25:39):
dogs.
In other words, puffy your asson your own I'm.
I'm gonna give you the real.
I'm gonna give you what shereally trying to say.
Because she a celebrity, shecan't talk like I can talk.
That's why I don't want to beno celebrity.
I'm going to give you whatshe's really trying to say.
Because she's a celebrity, shecan't talk like I can talk.
That's why I don't want to beno celebrity.
Whatever I am, if I'm acelebrity, if I'm famous, if I'm
known, I'm the type that'sgoing to say the real shit, I'm
(26:03):
not doing this.
What she's trying to say isPuff or Diddy, your ass on your
own.
I'm putting so much distancebetween us you can put a Walmart
in between us.
That's what she's trying to say.
She's just trying to make itsound good.
(26:26):
Then she tags in.
It was like a tag team event.
She tagged in her partner,bishop Jakes.
He had to come in and take adump on Diddy.
He wasn't through.
Then he had to come in.
Now you know, bishop TD Jakes,who recently stepped down as a
senior pastor of Dallas MegaChurch, the Potter's House of
(26:49):
Dallas, said he had brieflyvisited one of Combs' parties
during the daytime.
Pastor, pastor, pastor.
I don't think a pastor needs tobe at a Diddy party at all?
I don't think so.
(27:13):
Somebody said Oprah, no, herass was there, oprah's there,
oprah's there, her and Gail wasthere turning up.
They better hope.
I guess Oprah must havescrubbed all the footage and
pictures, because I'm suresomebody got one.
(27:34):
I got a question in here what doI think about the judge meeting
?
I'm sorry y'all these thingsthe chat be moving so fast.
Sometimes I miss some stuff,but I saw somebody ask me a
question about the judge.
I missed it, though.
Billy Benny was in there.
Hey look, y'all tore Benny assup.
(27:57):
No, did he?
Yeah, that was Benny and them.
Yeah, that was AI.
Hey look, ai is the new.
I got hacked.
Remember when every timesomebody would say some wrong
shit on the internet, they wouldsay they got hacked.
Now, ai is if you caught redhanded and you got pictures and
(28:21):
video and they got all type ofevidence.
Now you can say it's AI.
So like if I say some, if I saysome shit on here to get me in
trouble, today, I can just saythere was AI.
That wasn't me, that was AI.
Ai is the new.
I got hacked.
(28:41):
But according to TD Jakes, hestopped by Puffy's house for 30
minutes to say happy birthday.
And it was 2 o'clock in theafternoon with staff people, and
it was two o'clock in theafternoon with staff people.
So let me speak on this.
Let me tell you how see whatI'm the king of, see if people
(29:05):
be.
It's hard to argue with mebecause I like to take your own
shit, because I can argue mypoint and you can argue your
point.
But I think it's always moreeffective when you take
someone's their own statementsand flip it against them,
because that's your statements,this is your actions.
(29:26):
You can't argue your actions.
You can argue what I say andsay I'm wrong.
So I don't do that.
If you ever notice I takesomeone's their own words and
their your actions.
You can argue what I say andsay I'm wrong.
So I don't do that.
If you ever notice I takesomeone's their own words and
their own actions and use themagainst them.
And I'm about to do that withTD Jakes and cook his ass a
little bit.
The kitchen is open, earlyBreakfast, crew sausage, bacon,
(29:49):
eggs, and I'm going to throw alittle TD Jakes in there because
this is what I'm going to say.
You stopped by his house to sayhappy birthday for 20, 30
minutes.
Okay, you clearing your name,whatever, right?
Well, from that statement, whatI do know is you were cool
(30:11):
enough with him to stop by hishouse.
Follow me y'all making a pointabout how this celebrity world
is full of shit and they can'thandle me because I'm too real,
way too real.
I think even a celebrity everytime about telling me to be
careful.
I think the celebrities arescared of me.
I truly do, because they knowI'm real.
(30:35):
You know, when you fake, youfear real.
So anyway, td Jakes, out hisown mouth, just admitted he made
a special stop to Diddy's houseto say happy birthday.
(30:59):
Now TD Jakes is a bishop, bishop, a pastor, a this or that.
So we know you're cool enoughto to pull up on him and say
happy birthday.
So you got some type ofrelationship.
Judging by your own words, tdjakes, you are a pastor or
bishop.
Why aren't you praying forDiddy right now?
Diddy is facing the most, he'sin the most crucial time of his
(31:22):
life and you are a pastor or abishop, or whatever you want to
call it, and you areprioritizing clearing your name
as opposed to how much of arelationship you have with him.
You are more concerned withclearing that than publicly
praying for this brother, notsaying I'm sticking up for diddy
(31:43):
, but I'm just calling out howfake this celebrity world is.
And to me you're a fake pastor.
All the pastors I know will bepraying for Diddy in this tough
time, praying for the victims,praying for everybody involved,
(32:04):
saying some positive words,something like that.
But you ain't doing that, tdjs.
You haven't made one publicstatement about praying for the
victims, praying for the family,praying for Diddy's mom,
praying for people involved.
That's how the bishops andpastors I know that's what they
do, but you're not doing none ofthat.
(32:26):
You are prioritizing yourselfand clearing your name from
supposedly being at these diddyparties.
That's fake as hell.
To me it proves as you'retrying to prove and distance
yourself.
To me it proves how fake thatwhole world is and I'm I'm
questioning your Bishop and yourcalling and what you do.
(32:49):
So that's why I don't getinvolved in that world.
Y'all it's faith.
You got a pastor who ain't evenpraying for the victims involved
, ain't even mentioned thevictims or the alleged victims,
nor have you shown any supportfor somebody that you pulled up,
(33:11):
made a special stop to go sayhappy birthday at a ditty party
where you had no business beingat a ditty party as a bishop or
a pastor, but you pulled up.
So if you could pull up, Ithink you could support him in
this rough time, but you won't.
So that just proves to me whatwe've been saying about all
(33:35):
these celebrities and all that.
I don't believe shit.
They say how about that?
Now Bishop Jakes went on to sayokay.
As for the online rumorsconnecting him romantically with
Combs, he said I am almost 70years old.
What do I look like?
I am a grandfather.
(33:55):
Jakes announced earlier thisyear that he is handing
leadership of the church hefounded to his daughter, sarah
Jakes, and his son-in-law.
Then he had you know, know, hehad the incident when he passed
out on stage.
(34:15):
They talking about that.
We don't gotta go into that.
Bottom line is these celebritiesare saying Diddy you on your
own, bro, cash me out, I'm donewith you.
This is why I don't fuck withcelebrities.
This is why I've always been aman of the people, which is why
I will always Be a man of thepeople.
I don't give.
I will always be a man of thepeople.
I don't give a damn about nocelebrities.
(34:36):
I don't trust them.
I don't like the way they roll.
It's fake and phony.
If you got to shit on people andthat's another thing I'm not
giving nobody no credit forbeing a billionaire or a hundred
millionaire when you willing toshit on everybody to get there,
I think a lot of us could getmillions and billions if we
didn't give a fuck about ourfellow man.
(34:57):
I for sure would be amillionaire or a billionaire if
I didn't care about shitting onpeople.
So to me, while people talkingabout wow, we shouldn't tear
down this black man, he wealthyand this, and that If you are
willing to shit on anybody youcome in contact with, take their
rights, take their publishing,intimidate them, beat their ass,
(35:19):
I ain't giving you no credit.
Anybody to me, anybody with noheart, could get to a million
and billion dollars.
Ain't no honor in that?
Now, if you get there by beingright, treating people right,
then I give you some credit.
(35:39):
But if you get to a million,you become a millionaire and you
are willing to shit on peoplewith no regard.
Why the hell am I praising youbecause you got millions?
You only got millions becauseyou don't give a fuck about your
(36:00):
fellow men, about people, aboutwomen, about children, about
any of that.
You should have a hundredmillion.
That's just my thoughts.
So, with all that being said,let's get into the fucking court
shit.
We done had our little tea, wegonna close the kitchen for now
(36:23):
and we gonna get into what thehell going on in court.
So there's a few articles Iwanted to go over, but let's
talk about what they're sayingabout Diddy's courtroom strategy
of not calling anybody as acalculated risk and what people
(36:43):
are thinking about it.
What experts?
Because I told you I'm not aprofessional.
I'm just good than amotherfucker, I'm better than
the professionals a lot of times, because they don't know how to
break it down.
What people can understand.
I know how to break it down soeverybody can understand what
the hell I'm saying.
Everybody can't do that.
(37:04):
That's why y'all come to theFlow Show, no filter, monday
through Friday, 7.30 am, easternStandard Time, and rock out
with the Breakfast Crew Likepeople like Angie, like people
like Lily, even Desi in here,desi coming up in here.
We got all the best.
Anitra, what's up?
(37:27):
So Denny's defense a courtroomstrategy is a calculated risk
from our good friends at FoxNews.
Y'all know how I feel about FoxNews.
Sometimes they got goodarticles, sometimes I don't like
what the hell they talk about,but I spread it around.
I'm not biased, so I use FoxNews, I use ABC, I use everybody
(37:47):
.
So I don't want to hearnobody's mouth.
I remember my mom used toalways say that I'm doing this,
I don't want to hear nobodymouth.
I remember my mom used toalways say that I'm doing this,
so I don't want to hear nobody'smouth.
So I use all the publicationsbecause I don't want to hear
nobody mouth that I'm biased.
I use them all, even the ones Idon't fucking like.
So anyway, the decision by seandiddy combs lawyers to not call
(38:08):
any witnesses to testify in hisfederal trial for sex crime
comes down to the prosecution'sburden of reasonable doubt,
according to legal experts.
Diddy's lawyer, mark Agnifilio,indicated Monday in court that
the defense plans to reviewevidence with the jury and won't
require witnesses to testify onthe rapper's behalf.
(38:31):
The rapper's legal team expectsto rest its case Wednesday,
with closing arguments expectedto begin the following day,
thursday.
The decision whether or not tocall witnesses during the
defense case is a calculatedrisk.
Criminal defense and civilattorney Ad Dante, pointer of
(38:52):
lawyers for the people LLC toldFox news not calling any
witnesses means the defense isessentially telling the jury
there is no one they know in thewhole universe who can speak on
Diddy's behalf to aid hisdefense.
I agree with that statement.
Then I tell y'all I said if I'mon the jury, if I'm on the jury
(39:20):
, I'm looking at that like bruh.
You're guilty.
You don't have one person inthe whole fucking universe, the
whole planet Earth.
You don't have one person thatwill get up there and say he
ain't capable of these things.
Your honor Sean Combs, akaMohawk, sticky Note Itty Bitty.
(39:42):
Diddy Smalls with the tootsieroll would never put baby oil
all over women and hire sexworkers to come in there and
have sex with them and blow uppeople's cars and extort people
and threaten to take their rentaway and threaten to to put out
(40:04):
sex tapes if they didn't paytwenty thousand dollars.
He would never do these things.
And then on cross-examinationthey'll start showing text
messages, audio, video, news,paper, art.
They got so much damn evidence.
Ain't nobody trying to get onthat hot seat by the time the
cross examination be done.
(40:25):
They'd be fucking toast,literally.
They'd be a piece of toast upthere.
It won't even be a person, nomore.
It'd be a fucking piece ofburnt toast up on the stand.
So I don't blame nobody forgetting up there Because it's so
much evidence.
(40:45):
It's evidence on top of it.
They couldn't even get to allthe evidence.
Prosecution said man, weskipping some of this evidence.
It's just too much.
The jury can't even understandall this.
So I agree with this statement,but let's continue.
On the other hand, calling awitness can open that person up
(41:07):
to questioning and perhapselicit damaging testimony
against Diddy, depending upontheir interactions with him and
their knowledge of these women,and perhaps elicit damaging
testimony against Diddydepending upon their
interactions with him and theirknowledge of these women.
Pointer likened the defense'sdecision not to call any witness
to a Pandora's box.
You know you open Pandora's boxand all types of shit come out.
(41:29):
So if calling witnesses willopen a Pandora if you innocent,
I don't think calling witnessesopens Pandora's box if you
innocent.
So I don't care how they spinit.
To me it's just not a good sign.
(41:51):
Let's continue.
Given the defense is signalingthey do not intend to call a
single witness, they do notthink any potential
defense-friendly witness willresult in a net gain for Diddy.
(42:12):
His lawyers have essentiallydetermined the juice is not
worth the squeeze, and that'sone of my favorite sayings.
I don't know if y'all haveheard me say that on here, but I
say it a lot in my regular lifeoutside of the podcast.
Shit, the juice is not worththe squeeze, meaning you take
(42:32):
that lemon.
You take that lemon and yousqueeze that lemon like a pair
of ice grips and you damn nearbreak your hand trying to
squeeze that lemon and all youget is a teeny, weeny, beeny
itty bitty.
Let's just use the words ittybitty little drop's.
(42:52):
Just use the words itty bitty,little drop.
And in that case they would saythe juice ain't worth the
squeeze.
But if you take that lemon andas soon as you squeeze it a
centimeter, it just startflowing.
That's when the juice is worththe squeeze.
I love that saying.
So what they're saying is thelittle you're going to get from
(43:15):
putting on a witness for Diddy.
That little positive you'regoing to get is going to get
tore the fuck up on thatcross-examination.
You're going to wish you neverwould have put grandma on the
stand.
Or you're going to wish younever would have put grandma on
the stand.
Or you're going to wish younever would have put the human
(43:37):
resource lady on the stand,because they're going to be like
well, you say you're a greatguy, but we got here where you
pay for dildos on the companyaccount.
Can you explain that to us?
Human resources person will belike uh, am I going to jail?
(44:00):
Anybody who worked for Diddythat get on that stand will fuck
around and end up in jailthemselves.
That's another reason why ain'tnobody get up there.
You're in charge of humanresources, ma'am um, and we see
right here you authorizepayments for the free calls for,
(44:23):
for materials for dildos forbaby, for baby or astroglide.
As a matter of fact, youreimbursed.
You reimbursed Sean Combs fordrugs he bought.
You want to explainMotherfucking human resource
person be like I wish to evokemy Fifth Amendment.
(44:44):
Right, and please don't take meto jail.
You know what I'm saying.
Like that thing can go left ifyou try to get up there speaking
for Diddy.
So I understand why nobody gotup there.
Let's continue.
Now that we've established thatthe juice wasn't worth the
squeeze, let's see what elsethey got to say.
(45:04):
Judge Aaron Subramanian willlikely ask Diddy to confirm his
decision to not take the stand.
They say Diddy testifying wouldjust allow the prosecution to
retell their case and put theprevious items of evidence in
front of the jury for a secondor third time.
Pointer explained Silence isgolden, says Anquinette Brown.
(45:30):
The prosecution would have afield day going through each and
every video, text and witnessstatement made at trial against
him and forced Diddy to admitthe authenticity of the videos,
the receipts and invoices.
Also, items were covered at hishome and hotel room and that he
(45:53):
was present during the eventsdescribed in prior testimony.
In light of the evidencealready presented at trial, this
would most likely be anexcruciating and humiliating
cross-examination the kindprosecutors wait their whole
(46:13):
career to conduct.
In other words, you crock pottypan, sewer, flame, broiled, deep
fried waffle maker.
(46:35):
I can never get those wafflemakers right.
I can never get it to cookright.
Anyway, any cooking term, youcan twice bake Barbecued.
(47:00):
Andy say barbecued.
Give me some more cooking terms,y'all.
I don't cook a lot, I don'treally cook at all, so I don't
even know how I know all theseterms.
Matter of fact, if you want toget the real-time exclusive
Diddy coverage, I just put thelink in the support link.
Flambora, flam, flambit,whatever that is, I just put the
(47:22):
link in the chat.
Burnt to a crisp.
I just put the link in the chat.
You know I'm about to be in NewYork, I'm going to be in on them
closing arguments.
I'm going to tell you exactlywhat the hell happened, how
Diddy Face was looking, how hismama was looking, everything in
the court.
Do a $23 subscription.
I just put the somebody sayspit roast, I like that Flambé.
(47:44):
Yes, come on with the termsy'all.
So go ahead.
If you look in the chat, if youwant to subscribe, do a twenty
three dollar subscription.
It goes towards helping me getmy ass to New York and I'm going
to give you a real timecoverage straight from the
courtroom and I'll be out thereThursday morning for the closing
arguments and I'm telling you,I believe that the verdict
(48:07):
probably going to come Friday.
I don't think.
Whatever the verdict is, Idon't think it's going to take
him a long time.
So let's go into let's continueClosing arguments for the tribe
which began broiled, okay,sauteed, yes, sauteed.
There you go, sybil.
I was thinking I couldn'tremember His ass sauteed.
(48:27):
Let's continue.
Closing arguments are expectedto be on thursday.
A trial attorney, trey lovell,told fox news digital that the
defense likely wants to doubledown on reasonable doubt and
(48:50):
that diddy's exotic lifestyledoes not equal what the
prosecution has proposed, whichis that Diddy formed a criminal
enterprise to pleasure himself.
Tony Soprano said oh no, theycall him the Tony Soprano of
Babywell.
The only reason to not callwitnesses in your defense is if
(49:12):
you're absolutely, if youabsolutely believe there is
reasonable doubt and you don'twant to do anything to take away
from this, including callingyour own witness.
Lovell said it would make senseto call a psychiatrist to
explain the behavior of cassieand jane as being more
(49:32):
reflective of a consensualrelationship based upon the
autonomy each woman had, thebenefits they received and the
love they have for Diddy.
Further, calling executives atBad Boy Entertainment would be
helpful to distance thecorporations from Diddy's more
personal behavior, to dispel thecriminal enterprise element.
(49:55):
Finally.
But see, they can't do none ofthis because if they call any
executive, the prosecution hasevidence that all of this was
operating under the business andthey have tons of evidence.
I can't see it no other way.
(50:17):
Finally, possibly an industryor legal expert could just could
distinguish the aspects of sexworkers versus prostitution to
counter the prostitution charge.
So why wouldn't they do any ofthis, lavelle added.
However, the defense felt evencorner witnesses such as these
(50:37):
would have the potential ofadversely affecting reasonable
doubt and chose not to panseared stir fry.
Yeah, I forgot stir fry, stirfry, good one.
This guy goes on to say it's areal big gamble to testify in a
(51:03):
case like this, where theprosecution has brought
racketeering charges, whichallows them to bring this wealth
of bad acts evidence there.
By taking a stand, he wouldjust subject himself to even
more bad acts that wereprohibited by the court, and so
that was probably the right call.
Diddy's decision to not testifycan also be considered savvy as
(51:26):
well, because he can say inclosing look to the jury, the
prosecution has six weeks oftime to show you to try to prove
their case.
The defense lawyers are goingto say this we show the
reasonable doubt through ourcross examinations and we don't
want to waste any more of yourtime.
You now have enough to knowthat there's reasonable doubt in
(51:51):
this case and that's why wedidn't bring a case and to
remind the jury that thepresumption of innocent always
goes to Diddy as a defendant inthis case.
He also noted that the burdenof proof is on the government,
not bad boy, founder Diddy, whenyou present a case, if you're
(52:13):
on the defense side, you betterbe good, because if it falls
flat, then you kind of move backto the market and you might be
in a worse position than youstarted.
I know some people aresuggesting that, well, wow,
doesn't that have something?
Doesn't he have something hecould put on?
It may be in some ways anopportunity for the defense to
(52:36):
say, no, we didn't need to.
I don't know y'all.
I'm trying to see it both ways.
I only see it one way.
It just looks bad to me becauseeven if the prosecution didn't
prove anything're, if theprosecution didn't prove
anything, and if the prosecutionDidn't prove anything and
(52:59):
you're not what, why is it sodangerous for you to put on some
witness?
You the ball in your court.
You can put on whoever you want.
So to me it just don't even makesense that if you're saying the
prosecution ain't prove shit,so what you so scared for, then
(53:21):
this is a life sentence.
You, looking at you wouldn'twant to go up there and present
anything that helps your case.
That just don't.
And I'm trying to see it bothways because y'all know it's one
thing I'm big on.
I try not to get stuck on oneside, just in case I'm missing
something.
So I'm really trying tounderstand the side of.
Maybe you don't feel like youneed to, but nah, that just
(53:48):
don't look good to me.
I don't know.
Y'all tell me what y'all thinkin the comments.
Float for president.
Thank you, angie.
Hey, I'm thinking about it,thinking about it.
Float for president.
Yeah, y'all.
So I try, but I just only see itone way.
To me it just don't look good,it don't look positive that you
(54:11):
don't have one person to speakwhen you facing a life sentence.
You're gonna tell me for sixweeks in your mind, let's say,
let's, let's go by their theory.
So for six weeks theprosecution ain't proved shit
and it's plenty of reasonabledoubt.
So if that's the case, youshould have no problem putting
on somebody.
Then, if the prosecutioncouldn't do any damage when they
(54:34):
were calling their ownwitnesses, what makes you think
they can do damage when you callyour own witnesses that you
handpicked?
Make it make sense.
Help me see it the other way.
I only see it as a negative.
I don't see it as a positive.
To me it only says you'reguilty as hell.
(54:57):
They proved it every day.
Twice on Sunday they provedtheir case.
And you know you can't even puthis mama on the stand without
getting chewed up and spit outand stir fried and pan seared
and crock potted and deep friedand microwaved and air fried
(55:22):
Shout out to Shana.
Every time I say air fry, Ithink about Shana, my special
person, shana.
Shana can do amazing thingswith an air fryer y'all.
One day I'm going to talk aboutit, not today Air fryer they
even bringing in the dude who dothis.
(55:44):
At this point I think the dudethe salt bae.
I even think he's sprinklingsalt off his elbow on Diddy at
this point.
It's getting so bad.
Where's Salt Bae at?
You shouldn't be this turned upon a Tuesday morning.
(56:07):
You shouldn't be turned up on.
Yeah, salt Bae.
They done Salt Bae'd him, didbay.
They done salt bayed him.
Diddy done got salt bayed.
I wish Diddy would get on thestand, though this is just some
personal shit.
This ain't technical, thisain't no article.
I just wish Diddy would get onthe stand because you know he an
(56:29):
egomaniac, narcissistic,control freak.
I think it would be pureentertainment for Diddy to get
on the stand because you know hean egomaniac, narcissistic,
control freak.
I think it would be pureentertainment for Diddy to get
on that stand.
But this is how bad this caseis, because Diddy even got on
the stand when he shot up theclub and got away with it back
with J-Lo.
And, by the way, j-lo, whereyour ass been at?
(56:49):
J-lo, where have you?
You have been so quiet we couldhear a cat piss on cotton.
J-lo ain't never been thisquiet and that ain't a bad thing
.
But when Diddy shot up the clubhe was literally caught
(57:12):
red-handed then and he still goton that stand.
So that's another thing that'sgoing to be very telling If he
don't get on this stand, whichhe probably ain't.
It's just too many things topoint to hand in cookie jar Hand
(57:34):
.
You have hand outside thecookie jar and you have hand in
the cookie jar.
And then you got whole elbow inthe cookie jar.
Then he got his whole elbow,his whole arm, in that cookie
jar and it's stuck.
Yeah, j-lo ain't saying nothing.
(58:02):
Melissa said the gun was in herpurse.
Poor Sean too.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Sean ended up doing 10 yearsfor nothing.
But people want to get mad at mefor calling out Diddy when he
has ruined hundreds, if notthousands, of lives over the
(58:26):
years.
I don't know what to say.
All I know is J-Lo quiet,everybody quiet, everybody quiet
, except for the people on theright side of history.
(58:46):
I can't say it enough that it'svery, very telling that not one
person has showed up and didhis defense, forget the witness
stand, even just showed up tocourt.
Only people show up to court ishis son and his mama People you
(59:08):
expect to be there, but not aperson in the industry, not a
celebrity friend, not a cousinhe grew up with.
Nobody, not even any of thesequote unquote girlfriends Nobody
.
What's that Keep Sweat song?
(59:31):
Nobody.
Y'all heard that song?
Y'all know that song?
Y'all know that song is anykeep sweat fans in here?
Nobody.
It's like who showed up?
Who showed up for diddy?
Nobody in the keep sweat voice.
But in all seriousness, all ofthis just points to guilt to me.
(59:52):
Celebrities distancingthemselves from you nobody even
showing up to the courtroom tosupport you.
Forget getting on the stand,forget putting your hand,
raising your hand on the bibleand saying I'm gonna tell the
whole truth and not a bunch oftruth about Diddy Woo.
(01:00:14):
That's a hell of a.
That's a hell.
I know that.
Bible on fire in the courtroom.
They haven't even showed up.
The only person showed up wasKanye West and he was there.
It took him longer to put onhis white outfit.
It took him longer to put onhis all white outfit.
(01:00:35):
It took him longer to do thatthan it did for him to stay in
the courtroom or the courthouse.
He was there all the 10 minutesas if he was just saying look,
diddy, I'm doing this, so youcan shut the hell up, I'm gone.
But as we die, as we, this week, this is going to be a crucial
(01:00:59):
week.
We have been covering this case.
I've been covering this casesince, I think, september 2023,
I believe was when Cassielawsuit dropped or when she was
talking about the lawsuit.
That is when I start coveringthis case.
I've been covering this casebefore anybody.
I was definitely the firstperson, especially with a large
(01:01:21):
platform, to be covering thisbecause, if y'all remember, when
Cassie was first threatening todo the lawsuit, everybody
thought it wasn't going to gonowhere.
But there was one person whoknew it was going to go
somewhere and that's your boyright here Flo, daddy, flo on
all platforms.
And when I covered it, peoplewas like why are you covering
that gossip stuff?
(01:01:41):
Because you know, I only coverreal stories.
I said this ain't gossip, thisis some real shit.
This is about to be big.
And here we are today.
So I appreciate everybody who'sbeen on this journey.
I am honestly ready for thisverdict to be over because, like
I told y'all, I'm ready to getback to covering everything.
I am a journalist, like I tellpeople, I'm a journalist at
(01:02:04):
heart and this is the trial ofthe century, the biggest trial
of my lifetime, and I decided togive it the attention that it
deserved.
So I focused on it and I woulddo it again.
But damn it, if I ain't tiredof freak-offs.
I'm tired of Baby Oil, I'mtired of Astro Glide, I'm tired
(01:02:27):
of King Knights, I'm tired ofcleaning up, hearing about
clean-ups and freak-offs and allthat.
I'm tired of cleaning up,hearing about cleanups and
freak-offs and all that.
I'm tired.
I want to talk about Trump andIran and I want to talk about
the ICE raids.
I want to talk about Fat Joe, Iwant to talk about Tyler Perry,
(01:02:47):
I want to talk about all kindof stuff and hopefully we get a
verdict this week so we can getback to that next week and get
back to talking about everythingthat means a lot to us, and not
diddy, diddy, moe, diddy, moe,diddy, moe, diddy, diddy, diddy.
(01:03:08):
So tune in y'all, I'll be outto New York this week.
Today, I think prosecution isfinishing up.
Today, yesterday, they put morebricks into the.
I guess I'll go over one lastarticle with y'all.
(01:03:30):
I'm going to stay a littlelonger.
Today they have a, is it thisone?
So BBC has an article asDiddy's prosecution.
I'm going to stay a littlelonger.
Today, y'all, diddy'sprosecution reads how compelling
(01:03:52):
is the case against them.
Prosecutors in New York Are setto rest their case After weeks
long.
Mr Combs has admitted Todomestic violence but has pled
not guilty To the prosecution'scharges.
The defense has yet to make acase, as we talked about.
(01:04:12):
Legal experts say theirtestimony has helped, uh, the
prosecution.
When we talk about theirtestimony we're talking about
ex-girlfriend cassie, rapper kidcuddy, who also dated cassie.
Uh, former assistants, hotelsecurity guards and others say
they witnessed Mr Combs' abuseand those testimonies legal
(01:04:36):
experts say helped prosecutorspresent a compelling case to a
panel of 12 jurors, but aconviction on all counts remains
far from assured.
Here are some key aspects ofthe case and the potential
vulnerabilities in theprosecution's arguments.
(01:04:57):
Cassie and Jane helped build sextrafficking.
A key witness for theprosecutors was Ms Ventura, a
musician and model known asCassie.
She testified for days abouther abusive on and off 11-year
relationship with Mr Combs.
Eight months pregnant and oftenspeaking through tears, miss
(01:05:19):
Cassie Ventura testified thatDiddy, aka Mr Combs, beat and
coerced her into so-called freakups.
This was during which she wouldhave sex with multiple male
escorts.
Prosecutors then alleged MrCombs used drugs, violence and
manipulation to pressure severalwomen into unwanted sexual
(01:05:41):
encounters with male escorts.
Cassie's testimony deliveredwhen she was.
She delivered weeks when shewas weeks away from giving birth
.
It was critical to theprosecutor's case, especially
(01:06:03):
the sex trafficking, which is acharge that carries a maximum
sentence of life in prison.
Some of the strongest evidencewas a surveillance video of Mr
Combs beating Miss Cassie in thehallway of a hotel during an
alleged freak-out and thetestimony of a hotel security
guard who said mr combs offeredhim money to get rid of the tape
.
Prosecutors also displayedphotos of cassie.
Many injuries allegedly allegedfrom the rapper's abuse.
(01:06:27):
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavystuff.
Y'all happened in this case.
But then we had another formergirlfriend known as jane.
We all know who jane was.
I ain't gonna say it on herebecause everybody got their
panties in a bunch and talkingabout they want to sue people.
I ain't trying to get sued.
But we know who jane is.
(01:06:48):
Anybody that got 50 cent totheir name right now know who
jane is.
Uh, she talked about the hotelnights and the freak-offs, uh.
But jurors were also known.
Shown loving text messages thatcassie and jane sent to mr
(01:07:10):
cones, including some in whichwomen expressed interest in
participating in those sex acts.
The public is becoming more andmore knowledgeable about the
domestic violence and the factthat women may feel compelled to
stay in abusive relationships,said Jennifer Beaton, a former
prosecutor with the SouthernDistrict Court of New York.
(01:07:32):
But a mix of loving messagesand allegations of coercion
could sometimes be difficult fora jury to put together.
Ms Beto suggested Mr Combs'case might not be one that is as
clean as the jury might like itto be.
Further complicating their case, prosecutors lost a third
(01:07:55):
alleged victim who they hadhoped would testify after they
were no longer able to contact.
Y'all know that was.
Everybody know that was Gina.
Nia Rahmani, a former federalprosecutor, said losing an
alleged victim could hurt thecase because a prosecution
(01:08:16):
benefit from having multipletestimonies.
Jurors may disbelieve onevictim, but it is really hard
for them to disbelieve many, heexplained.
Now lawyers sought out to provethe criminal enterprise.
Mr Combs is facing an equallyserious charge of racketeering.
We talked about theracketeering part, with
(01:08:38):
prosecutors alleging he reliedon loyal employees to run a
criminal enterprise, also tofacilitate his sexual abuse of
women and to also hide hisconduct.
The the Racketeering, influenceand Corrupt Organization Act,
also known as RICO, wasoriginally created to take out
(01:08:59):
mob bosses.
Remember I explained that inmuch detail but has since been
used in other cases, including asex trafficking trial that R
Kelly, who was convicted for 30years and I keep saying R Kelly,
who was convicted for 30 years,and I keep saying R Kelly's
recall was nowhere near asstrong as Diddy's recall.
That is what makes it hard forme to believe that he's going to
(01:09:23):
be found not guilty In thatsame court.
As a matter of fact, I did.
Uh, r kelly's was in thesoutheast district.
It was like a, a differentdistrict, but they said the
district that diddy is in hasthe more aggressive prosecutors
and actually for lack of betterwords the better prosecutors.
(01:09:46):
Um, and, like I said, r kelly'swas nowhere near as strong as
diddy's recall and he got 30years.
It's hard for me to not seeDiddy get be convicted, but we
shall see.
The government also accused MrCombs of using his criminal
enterprise to commit arson.
Rapper Kid Cudi testified thatMr Combs set his Porsche on fire
(01:10:10):
All because he was mad aboutCassie.
And Kid Cudi testified that MrCombs set his Porsche on fire
All because he was mad aboutCassie and Kid Cudi having a
time.
Let's just say they had a timeand leave it at that.
It may be easier forprosecutors to prove the
elements of sex trafficking thanracketeering because of the
many technical parts of theracketeering statute, including
(01:10:32):
the involvement of other peopleand entities.
It's hard to simplify complexlegal experts say.
Now I disagree.
I think the RICO is easier topull than the sex trafficking.
But that's just me.
Because there's so manypredicated acts they're like
seven or eight.
They only need two, but we'llsee.
But if jurors had alreadyconcluded Mr Combs is a bad guy,
(01:10:57):
they may be less likely toacquit him just because of one
particular element ofacomplicated legal charge.
And they say in my experiencejurors tend to fix upon a story
and then align the facts to fitwith that story.
Fix upon a story and then alignthe facts to fit with that
(01:11:19):
story and they're going to talkabout that.
Diddy's not going to take thestand.
We already talked about that.
Y'all, this is a big week.

No ditty.
The thoughts, views andopinions shared on the Flow Show
no Filter are for educationaland entertainment purposes only.
I am not a professional, I amjust.
Good morning y'all.

C-tuck, angie, lily, melissa,tracy, alicia, c-tuck, my boy.
What's up y'all?
This is a mess.
I hopped in the shower today.
I got out of the shower Ilooked in the mirror.
(01:10):
I said the fro is froing.
Today.
I'm going to bring the fro outfor today's show.
Hope y'all don't mind.
The fro is going to join ustoday and we got a lot to get

Into Taco Tuesdays, oh.
Last Taco Tuesdays I had somepeach, some type of peach,
(01:32):
something taco.
Oh, my God.
I ate every last one of themthings and I'm probably going to

Good morning to the breakfastcrew.
Melissa said yes, the fro isflowing, baby.
Yeah, hey, I gotta give it acouple pats for that boom.
You should see it in person.
(02:13):
I'm just playing.
But um, without further ado,let's get into what's going on.
Man, this diddy, this diddycase is one of the craziest
cases I ever covered.
I mean, no matter how much theprosecution proves their case,
(02:33):
we always had an element of whenyou got big money, anything can
happen.
And I think that's what reallyhas everybody on edge about this
case.
Because no matter how much,rico, the prosecution has proven
, we know two things.
We know Diddy got a whole lotof money and we also know these
(03:00):
jurors have been coming andgoing as they please.
I don't give a damn what nobodysay.
Me myself.
I would have preferred asequestered jury, much like we
had in the OJ trial, much likewe've had, in a lot of hope,
high profile trials.
I've told y'all from the verybeginning I don't care what
(03:21):
nobody say, I just I didn't.
I don't feel good about thisjuror not being sequestered in
New York with a defendant whohas been proven to intimidate
motherfuckers.
But we shall see.
Angela said we don't mind.
I don't mind If he runs downthe pole with that usher say I
(03:51):
don't mind, I don't mind If heruns down the pole with that
usher said I don't mind.
Fro real.
Julie says fro real.
Yeah, the fro is real, the fro.
Let the fro be with you.
Good morning, punk rock girl.
Hope everybody have a goodbreakfast today.
But yeah, that's the only.
My only concerns is that thisjury has been coming and going
(04:13):
and New York is already crazy.
Who knows?
But we'll see and let's getinto it.
So hope everybody is enjoyingtheir Tuesday morning.
Betsy, we got.
Yeah.
Johnny says she still can'tbelieve the jury wasn't
sequestered.
The jury wasn't sequestered.
(04:33):
Yeah, I really don't understandthe thought process behind that
.
Yeah, the jury, the defense,the defense made a shocking
claim.
We're going to get into that.
Melissa says New York iscorrupt, very, very, very, very,
(04:53):
very corrupt.
But let's get in today.
We're going to start a littleearly too.
No more, no more, ain't no much.
I got my Diet Coke.
Take a swig.
Now I can do my gig.
Let's go.
I've been working on the shirts,y'all.
(05:15):
So tomorrow, god willing, I'llbe launching the shirts and then
Wednesday night or Thursdaymorning I'll be in New York for
the closing arguments and I gota strong feeling we might have a
verdict Friday.
So if everything goes well,I'll be out there for the
verdict too.
But the merch is going.
(05:37):
I got.
I've been working on the shirtsy'all wanted.
I got a Kick Rocks with FlipFlops shirt I got.
I Am Just Good I got.
And I got a few other ones thaty'all wanted.
I got a Kick Rocks with FlipFlops shirt I got.
I Am Just Good.
I got a few other ones thaty'all requested, of course I got
, and I Don't Like it.
I use mostly all y'all'ssuggestions, looking forward to
(05:58):
y'all enjoying the merch store.
Hopefully I can launch ittomorrow while we're on the show
.
That's my hope.
But I want to start off with aquote as we get into this Diddy
mess.
I want to start off with aquote, and this has come from a
page called the Diddy Docket onX, formerly known as Twitter,
(06:25):
and it says imagine 30 plusyears of leading the culture,
covering magazines, touring theworld, hosting the most popping
industry parties making hits andmaking millions, and not making
(06:45):
one single real friend alongthe way.
Shout out to Diddy Doc.
You know, I think that's apowerful quote Doing all of that
and not making one real friendalong the way.
(07:05):
Nobody to step up.
And why am I starting todaywith that quote?
Well, yesterday I broke the newsthat the defense announced they
don't have a single witness.
They don't have a singlewitness.
(07:26):
They don't have any motherMF-er to speak on Diddy's behalf
.
Not one.
His mama ain't speaking, sonain't speaking, ashton Kutcher
ain't speaking.
Ellen called Diddy her snuggleMcFugglefuggle or whatever the
(07:49):
hell she done.
Skipped town.
I'm hearing she out the country.
Everybody's saying who knows,but I do know where she's not,
and that's not defending hersnuggle fucker or whatever she
called Diddy.
This is why.
(08:12):
Oh, and then, out of all ofthat, naomi Campbell.
She had multiple tweets talkingabout happy birthday to my
brother.
I'll never leave your side, oralways by my side, forever by
your side, but see to me forever.
I guess forever to me don'tmean the same as forever to
Naomi Campbell, because forevermeans forever, a long time.
(08:34):
I guess Naomi meant foreveruntil you really need me.
Then it's screw you.
But this is why I've always beena man of the people.
This is why I've never beenclose, nor did I ever give a
fuck about being cool withcelebrities.
(08:57):
I got a couple celebrityfriends, but they are
celebrities who are real peopleto me.
But for the most part, I'vealways been more comfortable
with the people like y'all, likemy community, because see the
people we genuine.
When you down, we going to pickyou up.
We going to ride with you.
(09:17):
Celebrity world.
When somebody down, they getthe fuck away and so it's all
fake.
Now, do I blame them for notbeing by Diddy's side?
I don't blame them.
Diddy treated people like shitand I was there.
(09:40):
I know I'm not talking from noarticles, I'm talking from being
in the circle running aroundwhen I was rapping and
witnessing.
Diddy treated people like purehorse shit and this is why we're
(10:02):
here.
And out of all thosecelebrities, out of all those
celebrities that Diddy didparties for, made hits for and
was on their shows and all ofthat, the only straggler he
could get was Crazy Kanye, andeven Kanye showed up for five
(10:28):
minutes and got the hell out ofthere.
Now there's a rumor that he'sback out there, but they're not
going to put Kanye on no damnwitness stand.
We know that.
So when they made thatannouncement I don't know if
I've ever seen that and y'alltell me in the chat.
I don't know if we've ever seenand I don't give a.
(10:53):
Like some people are trying tosay it's not the defense's
burden to prove, to proveinnocence.
But why do y'all have, why doy'all have, why do y'all even
why does every defense teampresent a case for a couple
weeks then?
So I don't want to hear thatshit like don't tell me, don't
(11:16):
piss on me and tell me it'sright, there are no witnesses
because nobody wants to speak onit and everybody's guilty.
They act like we forgot that.
They said they were going toput a vashta from human
resources, from bad boy fromdiddy's company.
(11:37):
They said they were going toput vashta on the stand where.
Why she ain't on the stand?
Because they know thatcross-examined would have chewed
her up and spit her out.
This is what happens whenyou're caught red-handed.
Don't tell me no shit about.
You ain't got no bird in theproof and every case I've ever
(12:00):
seen the defense has witnesses.
I ain't never seen one wherethe defense didn't have one
single MF-er to come up thereand speak on your half.
At least speak to yourcharacter what they call that
character witnesses.
(12:21):
You ain't got nobody to go upthere and say, man, my bro Diddy
is a good guy, he would neverdo these things.
You ain't got nobody to saythat.
Thank you for the super chat,linda.
I'm going to give me some.
I'm going to give me an extrataco on Linda.
Thank you, linda, I reallyappreciate it.
(12:42):
I'm going to give me an extrataco today and I'm going to
think about you.
I'm going to call that extrataco Linda.
I'm going to put that taco inthe air.
I'm going to say this is forthe great Linda.
She was a beautiful person andI'm going to smash that taco
like you ain't never seen before.
(13:06):
Tacos do not last long.
In my hand I got a big mouthcouple bites, boom Gone.
Next taco I need about four orfive of them.
So if y'all want to give mesome more stupid super stickers
y'all know I'm greedy.
I'm about 6'3".
240 pounds, 235 pounds, bigdude.
I eat a lot, so I wouldappreciate it.
I'm going to pour a little outafter I demolish that taco.
(13:30):
I'm going to pour a little outfor Linda's super sticker.
In all seriousness, I thank you,but you ain't got nobody to go
up on the stand and say, man,the Sean Combs I know would
(13:51):
never do these things he'saccused of.
What about all them people withall the free puff shirts, the
family members, the godfathersand all these people speaking up
?
Everybody has something to say,even the creeps in the comments
.
See, it's easy to talk in thecomments, it's easy to put on a
(14:14):
free puff shirt and walk aroundin New York for attention.
But when you've got to put yourhand, but when we find it out,
when it's time to put that handon the Bible and say you swear
to tell the whole truth andnothing but the truth, so help
you God.
We got billions and billionsand billions of people on this
(14:36):
planet, billions on this planet,and we can't find one person to
put their hand on the Bible andgo up there and say I wanna
tell the truth about Sean Combs.
Let that sink in.
Let that sink in.
Not one person that's telling.
(15:04):
I don't give a damn how theytry to spin it.
We're going to go over a couplearticles where we're going to
get both sides.
You know that's what we do onthe Flow Show.
We're going to get both sidesbecause, hey, I don't know
everything.
Maybe it is a good sign for thedefense, maybe they do feel
like ain't nothing been chosen.
Okay, anquinette Anquinette,hold up Anquinette Anquinette,
(15:27):
hold up Anquinette Anquinette.
I'm about to pass out.
I'm about to have a good tacoday.
Anquinette Brown, thank you forthe $20 super sticker Shit.
After today I'm going to belike 6'3", 245 pounds.
Y'all about to put an extrafive pounds on me today.
I appreciate it, big dude, bigdaddy, but that's crazy.
(15:54):
And if I'm a juror, I can'thelp but look at that as an
innocent man.
You got to have somebody that'sgoing to speak for you.
If you're an innocent man, Idon't even see how a jury could
not look at that as a negative.
I don't see it, y'all.
(16:19):
Now we're going to get into somearticles, and first let me get
into this.
Get into some articles.
And first let me get into this.
Since we're on the subject ofcelebrities, all the celebrities
told Diddy he can kick rocksfrom flip-flops with no socks,
and that'll be on a t-shirt.
Y'all can buy it tomorrow.
But I ain't never seen so manypeople tell somebody to kick
(16:43):
rocks so much.
That's why Diddy was so thirstyto drag Kanye West into it.
He was trying to find somebodywho was stupid enough to join
this freak off party.
And since we're on the subjectof celebrities who are acting,
(17:06):
brand new all of a sudden, don'tnobody know Diddy?
Not too long ago, diddy was thedarling.
He was on everybody's TonightShow.
He was on everybody'scommercial.
Everybody wanted to take apicture with him.
He was even involved in thepolitical.
(17:28):
He was a Democrat Voter died.
And now he is fighting for hislife, looking at a life sentence
.
And he can't even get CousinJunebug to get on the stage.
Now does he have a cousin namedJunebug?
(17:49):
Hell, no, that's just ametaphor.
This is the flow show, nofilter.
You know I'm liable to sayanything, but for real.
So let's talk about two peoplewho just distanced themselves
from Diddy, before I even getinto the court jargon and the
(18:14):
mumbo jumbo Oprah and TD Jakes.
I don't know if y'all saw theclip, but they had some function
, but they had to let it beknown All of a sudden.
They don't know if y'all sawthe clip, but they had some
function, but they had to let itbe known.
All of a sudden, they don'tknow Diddy.
Oprah says she ain't never beento a Diddy party.
Td Jake said I'll get into thearticle, I ain't going to spoil
(18:37):
it.
So this article comes from theIndependent.
Y'all know I love theIndependent, I like this
publication because they getinto the fucking nitty gritty.
They don't give any Fs.
This one, the Independent, saysOprah Winfrey and Bishop TD
Jakes addressed rumors theyattended Diddy parties.
(19:00):
It says Mega Church Pastor TDJakes did admit to briefly
visiting the rap mogul's houseto wish him happy birthday.
So let's get into this article.
Oprah Winfrey and the highprofile pastor, bishop TD Jakes,
have both publicly deniedattending parties hosted by
(19:24):
embattled rap mogul Sean DiddyCollins.
Now, before I continue in thisarticle, y'all, if all of a
sudden, nobody was at the Diddyparties.
When I saw the Diddy parties,they looked packed to me, they
looked star-studded, it lookedlike everybody was there.
The who's who, the who, ain'tthe has-beens even snuck in.
(19:48):
Now, all of a sudden, my eyeswas lying to me.
Wasn't nobody at the damn party?
How that work?
Now, all of a sudden, wasn'tthem, motherfucker, at the Diddy
party?
I could have swore them.
Diddy parties was packed.
Were those bots?
(20:11):
Were those mannequins?
What were all these bodies thatI saw at the Diddy party,
because all of a sudden nobodywas at the Diddy party.
It's.
It's comical to me, but let'scontinue.
(20:34):
Combs, 55, is currently on trialfor new york in new york,
facing charges of ex-rafficking,transportation to engage in
prostitute and racketeering, andmany of the allegations center
around the drug-fueled sexparties known as freaks the
parties that Okay.
(20:57):
So now it says.
On social media,unsubstantiated claims and
AI-generated images have linkedboth Winfrey and Jakes to these
events.
According to the reports in EEWMagazine, the publication of
Christian organizationempowering everyday women, the
(21:17):
pair addressed the scruelessrumors while on stage at the
Good Soul Forum in Dallas, texas.
They had to go all the way toDallas, texas, to tell Diddy to
kick rocks.
Don't, nobody know Diddy, nomore.
Nobody ever knew him.
(21:39):
Jay-z don't know him.
Him and Jay-Z was having photoops, posing, doing all kind of
poses, doing this and this andshoulder to shoulder and
toasting glasses, and then hedon't know, I don't be.
Now, it's one thing to take apicture.
(22:01):
It's one thing to take apicture.
You can say, hey, let me fixthis light, let me see if I can
get a little bit more light.
Yeah, there we go, give me alittle light.
A little light in this.
There we go.
Give me a little light.
Give me a little light in this.
There we go.
I ain't that dark now.
Have me looking like Shaq.
(22:21):
I got a little golden tone inmy joint, but anyway, I
understand.
They can say, hey, anybody cantake pictures.
But and just because you takepictures with somebody don't
mean you know them.
(22:41):
But when you're taking pictureslike this and like this and
like this and doing all thesecrazy ass poses, you know that
person.
Jay-z said he ain't know this.
(23:02):
Well, why was you taking allthese jail pose pictures with
him, holds pictures with him?
That's why I don't fool withcelebrities.
Y'all have made me famous andI'm still kicking it with y'all.
(23:24):
I'm still kicking it with theregular people.
I'm not.
I don't trust no celebrity.
I don't want y'all they fakeand I know they fake Loving your
theatrics.
Hey, this is what we do.
This is what we do.
Early morning People be like howyou got so much energy in the
(23:46):
morning.
I'm a morning person.
This is when I shine, when I goout of town and I kick it.
I fuck a day party up.
I'm the day party king.
At night can't do it.
I turn into a pumpkin.
10, 11 o'clock I turn into apumpkin.
I'm ready to go night night,but in the morning or during the
(24:08):
day I'm a firecracker anyway,don't.
Nobody know him.
So Oprah continues after shesaid Oprah says I have never
been near a puff party.
Now, I don't want to call opraha liar.
(24:34):
I don't want to call oprah aliar, but it's hard for me to
believe she was never.
Now I'm not gonna say I thoughtoprah was at no free call.
I ain't gonna say that I dondon't think.
I definitely don't think Oprahwas baby oiled up with Astro
(24:54):
Glide.
But I'm talking about theregular puffy parties.
Hard for me to believe she wasnever, ever at one.
I don't.
That's hard for me to believe.
Anyway, let's continue.
She says I have never been neara puff party.
I'm glad I adjusted that lighty'all.
(25:18):
I was looking like damn, I gota tan.
She continued Anybody who knowsme knows If there is a party,
I'm the first one out.
The nature of my personality isthat I am not a party person.
This is not who I am.
I like to sit at home with mythoughts by the fire with the
(25:39):
dogs.
In other words, puffy your asson your own I'm.
I'm gonna give you the real.
I'm gonna give you what shereally trying to say.
Because she a celebrity, shecan't talk like I can talk.
That's why I don't want to beno celebrity.
I'm going to give you whatshe's really trying to say.
Because she's a celebrity, shecan't talk like I can talk.
That's why I don't want to beno celebrity.
Whatever I am, if I'm acelebrity, if I'm famous, if I'm
known, I'm the type that'sgoing to say the real shit, I'm
(26:03):
not doing this.
What she's trying to say isPuff or Diddy, your ass on your
own.
I'm putting so much distancebetween us you can put a Walmart
in between us.
That's what she's trying to say.
She's just trying to make itsound good.
(26:26):
Then she tags in.
It was like a tag team event.
She tagged in her partner,bishop Jakes.
He had to come in and take adump on Diddy.
He wasn't through.
Then he had to come in.
Now you know, bishop TD Jakes,who recently stepped down as a
senior pastor of Dallas MegaChurch, the Potter's House of
(26:49):
Dallas, said he had brieflyvisited one of Combs' parties
during the daytime.
Pastor, pastor, pastor.
I don't think a pastor needs tobe at a Diddy party at all?
I don't think so.
(27:13):
Somebody said Oprah, no, herass was there, oprah's there,
oprah's there, her and Gail wasthere turning up.
They better hope.
I guess Oprah must havescrubbed all the footage and
pictures, because I'm suresomebody got one.
(27:34):
I got a question in here what doI think about the judge meeting
?
I'm sorry y'all these thingsthe chat be moving so fast.
Sometimes I miss some stuff,but I saw somebody ask me a
question about the judge.
I missed it, though.
Billy Benny was in there.
Hey look, y'all tore Benny assup.
(27:57):
No, did he?
Yeah, that was Benny and them.
Yeah, that was AI.
Hey look, ai is the new.
I got hacked.
Remember when every timesomebody would say some wrong
shit on the internet, they wouldsay they got hacked.
Now, ai is if you caught redhanded and you got pictures and
(28:21):
video and they got all type ofevidence.
Now you can say it's AI.
So like if I say some, if I saysome shit on here to get me in
trouble, today, I can just saythere was AI.
That wasn't me, that was AI.
Ai is the new.
I got hacked.
(28:41):
But according to TD Jakes, hestopped by Puffy's house for 30
minutes to say happy birthday.
And it was 2 o'clock in theafternoon with staff people, and
it was two o'clock in theafternoon with staff people.
So let me speak on this.
Let me tell you how see whatI'm the king of, see if people
(29:05):
be.
It's hard to argue with mebecause I like to take your own
shit, because I can argue mypoint and you can argue your
point.
But I think it's always moreeffective when you take
someone's their own statementsand flip it against them,
because that's your statements,this is your actions.
(29:26):
You can't argue your actions.
You can argue what I say andsay I'm wrong.
So I don't do that.
If you ever notice I takesomeone's their own words and
their your actions.
You can argue what I say andsay I'm wrong.
So I don't do that.
If you ever notice I takesomeone's their own words and
their own actions and use themagainst them.
And I'm about to do that withTD Jakes and cook his ass a
little bit.
The kitchen is open, earlyBreakfast, crew sausage, bacon,
(29:49):
eggs, and I'm going to throw alittle TD Jakes in there because
this is what I'm going to say.
You stopped by his house to sayhappy birthday for 20, 30
minutes.
Okay, you clearing your name,whatever, right?
Well, from that statement, whatI do know is you were cool
(30:11):
enough with him to stop by hishouse.
Follow me y'all making a pointabout how this celebrity world
is full of shit and they can'thandle me because I'm too real,
way too real.
I think even a celebrity everytime about telling me to be
careful.
I think the celebrities arescared of me.
I truly do, because they knowI'm real.
(30:35):
You know, when you fake, youfear real.
So anyway, td Jakes, out hisown mouth, just admitted he made
a special stop to Diddy's houseto say happy birthday.
(30:59):
Now TD Jakes is a bishop, bishop, a pastor, a this or that.
So we know you're cool enoughto to pull up on him and say
happy birthday.
So you got some type ofrelationship.
Judging by your own words, tdjakes, you are a pastor or
bishop.
Why aren't you praying forDiddy right now?
Diddy is facing the most, he'sin the most crucial time of his
(31:22):
life and you are a pastor or abishop, or whatever you want to
call it, and you areprioritizing clearing your name
as opposed to how much of arelationship you have with him.
You are more concerned withclearing that than publicly
praying for this brother, notsaying I'm sticking up for diddy
(31:43):
, but I'm just calling out howfake this celebrity world is.
And to me you're a fake pastor.
All the pastors I know will bepraying for Diddy in this tough
time, praying for the victims,praying for everybody involved,
(32:04):
saying some positive words,something like that.
But you ain't doing that, tdjs.
You haven't made one publicstatement about praying for the
victims, praying for the family,praying for Diddy's mom,
praying for people involved.
That's how the bishops andpastors I know that's what they
do, but you're not doing none ofthat.
(32:26):
You are prioritizing yourselfand clearing your name from
supposedly being at these diddyparties.
That's fake as hell.
To me it proves as you'retrying to prove and distance
yourself.
To me it proves how fake thatwhole world is and I'm I'm
questioning your Bishop and yourcalling and what you do.
(32:49):
So that's why I don't getinvolved in that world.
Y'all it's faith.
You got a pastor who ain't evenpraying for the victims involved
, ain't even mentioned thevictims or the alleged victims,
nor have you shown any supportfor somebody that you pulled up,
(33:11):
made a special stop to go sayhappy birthday at a ditty party
where you had no business beingat a ditty party as a bishop or
a pastor, but you pulled up.
So if you could pull up, Ithink you could support him in
this rough time, but you won't.
So that just proves to me whatwe've been saying about all
(33:35):
these celebrities and all that.
I don't believe shit.
They say how about that?
Now Bishop Jakes went on to sayokay.
As for the online rumorsconnecting him romantically with
Combs, he said I am almost 70years old.
What do I look like?
I am a grandfather.
(33:55):
Jakes announced earlier thisyear that he is handing
leadership of the church hefounded to his daughter, sarah
Jakes, and his son-in-law.
Then he had you know, know, hehad the incident when he passed
out on stage.
(34:15):
They talking about that.
We don't gotta go into that.
Bottom line is these celebritiesare saying Diddy you on your
own, bro, cash me out, I'm donewith you.
This is why I don't fuck withcelebrities.
This is why I've always been aman of the people, which is why
I will always Be a man of thepeople.
I don't give.
I will always be a man of thepeople.
I don't give a damn about nocelebrities.
(34:36):
I don't trust them.
I don't like the way they roll.
It's fake and phony.
If you got to shit on people andthat's another thing I'm not
giving nobody no credit forbeing a billionaire or a hundred
millionaire when you willing toshit on everybody to get there,
I think a lot of us could getmillions and billions if we
didn't give a fuck about ourfellow man.
(34:57):
I for sure would be amillionaire or a billionaire if
I didn't care about shitting onpeople.
So to me, while people talkingabout wow, we shouldn't tear
down this black man, he wealthyand this, and that If you are
willing to shit on anybody youcome in contact with, take their
rights, take their publishing,intimidate them, beat their ass,
(35:19):
I ain't giving you no credit.
Anybody to me, anybody with noheart, could get to a million
and billion dollars.
Ain't no honor in that?
Now, if you get there by beingright, treating people right,
then I give you some credit.
(35:39):
But if you get to a million,you become a millionaire and you
are willing to shit on peoplewith no regard.
Why the hell am I praising youbecause you got millions?
You only got millions becauseyou don't give a fuck about your
(36:00):
fellow men, about people, aboutwomen, about children, about
any of that.
You should have a hundredmillion.
That's just my thoughts.
So, with all that being said,let's get into the fucking court
shit.
We done had our little tea, wegonna close the kitchen for now
(36:23):
and we gonna get into what thehell going on in court.
So there's a few articles Iwanted to go over, but let's
talk about what they're sayingabout Diddy's courtroom strategy
of not calling anybody as acalculated risk and what people
(36:43):
are thinking about it.
What experts?
Because I told you I'm not aprofessional.
I'm just good than amotherfucker, I'm better than
the professionals a lot of times, because they don't know how to
break it down.
What people can understand.
I know how to break it down soeverybody can understand what
the hell I'm saying.
Everybody can't do that.
(37:04):
That's why y'all come to theFlow Show, no filter, monday
through Friday, 7.30 am, easternStandard Time, and rock out
with the Breakfast Crew Likepeople like Angie, like people
like Lily, even Desi in here,desi coming up in here.
We got all the best.
Anitra, what's up?
(37:27):
So Denny's defense a courtroomstrategy is a calculated risk
from our good friends at FoxNews.
Y'all know how I feel about FoxNews.
Sometimes they got goodarticles, sometimes I don't like
what the hell they talk about,but I spread it around.
I'm not biased, so I use FoxNews, I use ABC, I use everybody
(37:47):
.
So I don't want to hearnobody's mouth.
I remember my mom used toalways say that I'm doing this,
I don't want to hear nobodymouth.
I remember my mom used toalways say that I'm doing this,
so I don't want to hear nobody'smouth.
So I use all the publicationsbecause I don't want to hear
nobody mouth that I'm biased.
I use them all, even the ones Idon't fucking like.
So anyway, the decision by seandiddy combs lawyers to not call
(38:08):
any witnesses to testify in hisfederal trial for sex crime
comes down to the prosecution'sburden of reasonable doubt,
according to legal experts.
Diddy's lawyer, mark Agnifilio,indicated Monday in court that
the defense plans to reviewevidence with the jury and won't
require witnesses to testify onthe rapper's behalf.
(38:31):
The rapper's legal team expectsto rest its case Wednesday,
with closing arguments expectedto begin the following day,
thursday.
The decision whether or not tocall witnesses during the
defense case is a calculatedrisk.
Criminal defense and civilattorney Ad Dante, pointer of
(38:52):
lawyers for the people LLC toldFox news not calling any
witnesses means the defense isessentially telling the jury
there is no one they know in thewhole universe who can speak on
Diddy's behalf to aid hisdefense.
I agree with that statement.
Then I tell y'all I said if I'mon the jury, if I'm on the jury
(39:20):
, I'm looking at that like bruh.
You're guilty.
You don't have one person inthe whole fucking universe, the
whole planet Earth.
You don't have one person thatwill get up there and say he
ain't capable of these things.
Your honor Sean Combs, akaMohawk, sticky Note Itty Bitty.
(39:42):
Diddy Smalls with the tootsieroll would never put baby oil
all over women and hire sexworkers to come in there and
have sex with them and blow uppeople's cars and extort people
and threaten to take their rentaway and threaten to to put out
(40:04):
sex tapes if they didn't paytwenty thousand dollars.
He would never do these things.
And then on cross-examinationthey'll start showing text
messages, audio, video, news,paper, art.
They got so much damn evidence.
Ain't nobody trying to get onthat hot seat by the time the
cross examination be done.
(40:25):
They'd be fucking toast,literally.
They'd be a piece of toast upthere.
It won't even be a person, nomore.
It'd be a fucking piece ofburnt toast up on the stand.
So I don't blame nobody forgetting up there Because it's so
much evidence.
(40:45):
It's evidence on top of it.
They couldn't even get to allthe evidence.
Prosecution said man, weskipping some of this evidence.
It's just too much.
The jury can't even understandall this.
So I agree with this statement,but let's continue.
On the other hand, calling awitness can open that person up
(41:07):
to questioning and perhapselicit damaging testimony
against Diddy, depending upontheir interactions with him and
their knowledge of these women,and perhaps elicit damaging
testimony against Diddydepending upon their
interactions with him and theirknowledge of these women.
Pointer likened the defense'sdecision not to call any witness
to a Pandora's box.
You know you open Pandora's boxand all types of shit come out.
(41:29):
So if calling witnesses willopen a Pandora if you innocent,
I don't think calling witnessesopens Pandora's box if you
innocent.
So I don't care how they spinit.
To me it's just not a good sign.
(41:51):
Let's continue.
Given the defense is signalingthey do not intend to call a
single witness, they do notthink any potential
defense-friendly witness willresult in a net gain for Diddy.
(42:12):
His lawyers have essentiallydetermined the juice is not
worth the squeeze, and that'sone of my favorite sayings.
I don't know if y'all haveheard me say that on here, but I
say it a lot in my regular lifeoutside of the podcast.
Shit, the juice is not worththe squeeze, meaning you take
(42:32):
that lemon.
You take that lemon and yousqueeze that lemon like a pair
of ice grips and you damn nearbreak your hand trying to
squeeze that lemon and all youget is a teeny, weeny, beeny
itty bitty.
Let's just use the words ittybitty little drop's.
(42:52):
Just use the words itty bitty,little drop.
And in that case they would saythe juice ain't worth the
squeeze.
But if you take that lemon andas soon as you squeeze it a
centimeter, it just startflowing.
That's when the juice is worththe squeeze.
I love that saying.
So what they're saying is thelittle you're going to get from
(43:15):
putting on a witness for Diddy.
That little positive you'regoing to get is going to get
tore the fuck up on thatcross-examination.
You're going to wish you neverwould have put grandma on the
stand.
Or you're going to wish younever would have put grandma on
the stand.
Or you're going to wish younever would have put the human
(43:37):
resource lady on the stand,because they're going to be like
well, you say you're a greatguy, but we got here where you
pay for dildos on the companyaccount.
Can you explain that to us?
Human resources person will belike uh, am I going to jail?
(44:00):
Anybody who worked for Diddythat get on that stand will fuck
around and end up in jailthemselves.
That's another reason why ain'tnobody get up there.
You're in charge of humanresources, ma'am um, and we see
right here you authorizepayments for the free calls for,
(44:23):
for materials for dildos forbaby, for baby or astroglide.
As a matter of fact, youreimbursed.
You reimbursed Sean Combs fordrugs he bought.
You want to explainMotherfucking human resource
person be like I wish to evokemy Fifth Amendment.
(44:44):
Right, and please don't take meto jail.
You know what I'm saying.
Like that thing can go left ifyou try to get up there speaking
for Diddy.
So I understand why nobody gotup there.
Let's continue.
Now that we've established thatthe juice wasn't worth the
squeeze, let's see what elsethey got to say.
(45:04):
Judge Aaron Subramanian willlikely ask Diddy to confirm his
decision to not take the stand.
They say Diddy testifying wouldjust allow the prosecution to
retell their case and put theprevious items of evidence in
front of the jury for a secondor third time.
Pointer explained Silence isgolden, says Anquinette Brown.
(45:30):
The prosecution would have afield day going through each and
every video, text and witnessstatement made at trial against
him and forced Diddy to admitthe authenticity of the videos,
the receipts and invoices.
Also, items were covered at hishome and hotel room and that he
(45:53):
was present during the eventsdescribed in prior testimony.
In light of the evidencealready presented at trial, this
would most likely be anexcruciating and humiliating
cross-examination the kindprosecutors wait their whole
(46:13):
career to conduct.
In other words, you crock pottypan, sewer, flame, broiled, deep
fried waffle maker.
(46:35):
I can never get those wafflemakers right.
I can never get it to cookright.
Anyway, any cooking term, youcan twice bake Barbecued.
(47:00):
Andy say barbecued.
Give me some more cooking terms,y'all.
I don't cook a lot, I don'treally cook at all, so I don't
even know how I know all theseterms.
Matter of fact, if you want toget the real-time exclusive
Diddy coverage, I just put thelink in the support link.
Flambora, flam, flambit,whatever that is, I just put the
(47:22):
link in the chat.
Burnt to a crisp.
I just put the link in the chat.
You know I'm about to be in NewYork, I'm going to be in on them
closing arguments.
I'm going to tell you exactlywhat the hell happened, how
Diddy Face was looking, how hismama was looking, everything in
the court.
Do a $23 subscription.
I just put the somebody sayspit roast, I like that Flambé.
(47:44):
Yes, come on with the termsy'all.
So go ahead.
If you look in the chat, if youwant to subscribe, do a twenty
three dollar subscription.
It goes towards helping me getmy ass to New York and I'm going
to give you a real timecoverage straight from the
courtroom and I'll be out thereThursday morning for the closing
arguments and I'm telling you,I believe that the verdict
(48:07):
probably going to come Friday.
I don't think.
Whatever the verdict is, Idon't think it's going to take
him a long time.
So let's go into let's continueClosing arguments for the tribe
which began broiled, okay,sauteed, yes, sauteed.
There you go, sybil.
I was thinking I couldn'tremember His ass sauteed.
(48:27):
Let's continue.
Closing arguments are expectedto be on thursday.
A trial attorney, trey lovell,told fox news digital that the
defense likely wants to doubledown on reasonable doubt and
(48:50):
that diddy's exotic lifestyledoes not equal what the
prosecution has proposed, whichis that Diddy formed a criminal
enterprise to pleasure himself.
Tony Soprano said oh no, theycall him the Tony Soprano of
Babywell.
The only reason to not callwitnesses in your defense is if
(49:12):
you're absolutely, if youabsolutely believe there is
reasonable doubt and you don'twant to do anything to take away
from this, including callingyour own witness.
Lovell said it would make senseto call a psychiatrist to
explain the behavior of cassieand jane as being more
(49:32):
reflective of a consensualrelationship based upon the
autonomy each woman had, thebenefits they received and the
love they have for Diddy.
Further, calling executives atBad Boy Entertainment would be
helpful to distance thecorporations from Diddy's more
personal behavior, to dispel thecriminal enterprise element.
(49:55):
Finally.
But see, they can't do none ofthis because if they call any
executive, the prosecution hasevidence that all of this was
operating under the business andthey have tons of evidence.
I can't see it no other way.
(50:17):
Finally, possibly an industryor legal expert could just could
distinguish the aspects of sexworkers versus prostitution to
counter the prostitution charge.
So why wouldn't they do any ofthis, lavelle added.
However, the defense felt evencorner witnesses such as these
(50:37):
would have the potential ofadversely affecting reasonable
doubt and chose not to panseared stir fry.
Yeah, I forgot stir fry, stirfry, good one.
This guy goes on to say it's areal big gamble to testify in a
(51:03):
case like this, where theprosecution has brought
racketeering charges, whichallows them to bring this wealth
of bad acts evidence there.
By taking a stand, he wouldjust subject himself to even
more bad acts that wereprohibited by the court, and so
that was probably the right call.
Diddy's decision to not testifycan also be considered savvy as
(51:26):
well, because he can say inclosing look to the jury, the
prosecution has six weeks oftime to show you to try to prove
their case.
The defense lawyers are goingto say this we show the
reasonable doubt through ourcross examinations and we don't
want to waste any more of yourtime.
You now have enough to knowthat there's reasonable doubt in
(51:51):
this case and that's why wedidn't bring a case and to
remind the jury that thepresumption of innocent always
goes to Diddy as a defendant inthis case.
He also noted that the burdenof proof is on the government,
not bad boy, founder Diddy, whenyou present a case, if you're
(52:13):
on the defense side, you betterbe good, because if it falls
flat, then you kind of move backto the market and you might be
in a worse position than youstarted.
I know some people aresuggesting that, well, wow,
doesn't that have something?
Doesn't he have something hecould put on?
It may be in some ways anopportunity for the defense to
(52:36):
say, no, we didn't need to.
I don't know y'all.
I'm trying to see it both ways.
I only see it one way.
It just looks bad to me becauseeven if the prosecution didn't
prove anything're, if theprosecution didn't prove
anything, and if the prosecutionDidn't prove anything and
(52:59):
you're not what, why is it sodangerous for you to put on some
witness?
You the ball in your court.
You can put on whoever you want.
So to me it just don't even makesense that if you're saying the
prosecution ain't prove shit,so what you so scared for, then
(53:21):
this is a life sentence.
You, looking at you wouldn'twant to go up there and present
anything that helps your case.
That just don't.
And I'm trying to see it bothways because y'all know it's one
thing I'm big on.
I try not to get stuck on oneside, just in case I'm missing
something.
So I'm really trying tounderstand the side of.
Maybe you don't feel like youneed to, but nah, that just
(53:48):
don't look good to me.
I don't know.
Y'all tell me what y'all thinkin the comments.
Float for president.
Thank you, angie.
Hey, I'm thinking about it,thinking about it.
Float for president.
Yeah, y'all.
So I try, but I just only see itone way.
To me it just don't look good,it don't look positive that you
(54:11):
don't have one person to speakwhen you facing a life sentence.
You're gonna tell me for sixweeks in your mind, let's say,
let's, let's go by their theory.
So for six weeks theprosecution ain't proved shit
and it's plenty of reasonabledoubt.
So if that's the case, youshould have no problem putting
on somebody.
Then, if the prosecutioncouldn't do any damage when they
(54:34):
were calling their ownwitnesses, what makes you think
they can do damage when you callyour own witnesses that you
handpicked?
Make it make sense.
Help me see it the other way.
I only see it as a negative.
I don't see it as a positive.
To me it only says you'reguilty as hell.
(54:57):
They proved it every day.
Twice on Sunday they provedtheir case.
And you know you can't even puthis mama on the stand without
getting chewed up and spit outand stir fried and pan seared
and crock potted and deep friedand microwaved and air fried
(55:22):
Shout out to Shana.
Every time I say air fry, Ithink about Shana, my special
person, shana.
Shana can do amazing thingswith an air fryer y'all.
One day I'm going to talk aboutit, not today Air fryer they
even bringing in the dude who dothis.
(55:44):
At this point I think the dudethe salt bae.
I even think he's sprinklingsalt off his elbow on Diddy at
this point.
It's getting so bad.
Where's Salt Bae at?
You shouldn't be this turned upon a Tuesday morning.
(56:07):
You shouldn't be turned up on.
Yeah, salt Bae.
They done Salt Bae'd him, didbay.
They done salt bayed him.
Diddy done got salt bayed.
I wish Diddy would get on thestand, though this is just some
personal shit.
This ain't technical, thisain't no article.
I just wish Diddy would get onthe stand because you know he an
(56:29):
egomaniac, narcissistic,control freak.
I think it would be pureentertainment for Diddy to get
on the stand because you know hean egomaniac, narcissistic,
control freak.
I think it would be pureentertainment for Diddy to get
on that stand.
But this is how bad this caseis, because Diddy even got on
the stand when he shot up theclub and got away with it back
with J-Lo.
And, by the way, j-lo, whereyour ass been at?
(56:49):
J-lo, where have you?
You have been so quiet we couldhear a cat piss on cotton.
J-lo ain't never been thisquiet and that ain't a bad thing
.
But when Diddy shot up the clubhe was literally caught
(57:12):
red-handed then and he still goton that stand.
So that's another thing that'sgoing to be very telling If he
don't get on this stand, whichhe probably ain't.
It's just too many things topoint to hand in cookie jar Hand
(57:34):
.
You have hand outside thecookie jar and you have hand in
the cookie jar.
And then you got whole elbow inthe cookie jar.
Then he got his whole elbow,his whole arm, in that cookie
jar and it's stuck.
Yeah, j-lo ain't saying nothing.
(58:02):
Melissa said the gun was in herpurse.
Poor Sean too.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Sean ended up doing 10 yearsfor nothing.
But people want to get mad at mefor calling out Diddy when he
has ruined hundreds, if notthousands, of lives over the
(58:26):
years.
I don't know what to say.
All I know is J-Lo quiet,everybody quiet, everybody quiet
, except for the people on theright side of history.
(58:46):
I can't say it enough that it'svery, very telling that not one
person has showed up and didhis defense, forget the witness
stand, even just showed up tocourt.
Only people show up to court ishis son and his mama People you
(59:08):
expect to be there, but not aperson in the industry, not a
celebrity friend, not a cousinhe grew up with.
Nobody, not even any of thesequote unquote girlfriends Nobody
.
What's that Keep Sweat song?
(59:31):
Nobody.
Y'all heard that song?
Y'all know that song?
Y'all know that song is anykeep sweat fans in here?
Nobody.
It's like who showed up?
Who showed up for diddy?
Nobody in the keep sweat voice.
But in all seriousness, all ofthis just points to guilt to me.
(59:52):
Celebrities distancingthemselves from you nobody even
showing up to the courtroom tosupport you.
Forget getting on the stand,forget putting your hand,
raising your hand on the bibleand saying I'm gonna tell the
whole truth and not a bunch oftruth about Diddy Woo.
(01:00:14):
That's a hell of a.
That's a hell.
I know that.
Bible on fire in the courtroom.
They haven't even showed up.
The only person showed up wasKanye West and he was there.
It took him longer to put onhis white outfit.
It took him longer to put onhis all white outfit.
(01:00:35):
It took him longer to do thatthan it did for him to stay in
the courtroom or the courthouse.
He was there all the 10 minutesas if he was just saying look,
diddy, I'm doing this, so youcan shut the hell up, I'm gone.
But as we die, as we, this week, this is going to be a crucial
(01:00:59):
week.
We have been covering this case.
I've been covering this casesince, I think, september 2023,
I believe was when Cassielawsuit dropped or when she was
talking about the lawsuit.
That is when I start coveringthis case.
I've been covering this casebefore anybody.
I was definitely the firstperson, especially with a large
(01:01:21):
platform, to be covering thisbecause, if y'all remember, when
Cassie was first threatening todo the lawsuit, everybody
thought it wasn't going to gonowhere.
But there was one person whoknew it was going to go
somewhere and that's your boyright here Flo, daddy, flo on
all platforms.
And when I covered it, peoplewas like why are you covering
that gossip stuff?
(01:01:41):
Because you know, I only coverreal stories.
I said this ain't gossip, thisis some real shit.
This is about to be big.
And here we are today.
So I appreciate everybody who'sbeen on this journey.
I am honestly ready for thisverdict to be over because, like
I told y'all, I'm ready to getback to covering everything.
I am a journalist, like I tellpeople, I'm a journalist at
(01:02:04):
heart and this is the trial ofthe century, the biggest trial
of my lifetime, and I decided togive it the attention that it
deserved.
So I focused on it and I woulddo it again.
But damn it, if I ain't tiredof freak-offs.
I'm tired of Baby Oil, I'mtired of Astro Glide, I'm tired
(01:02:27):
of King Knights, I'm tired ofcleaning up, hearing about
clean-ups and freak-offs and allthat.
I'm tired of cleaning up,hearing about cleanups and
freak-offs and all that.
I'm tired.
I want to talk about Trump andIran and I want to talk about
the ICE raids.
I want to talk about Fat Joe, Iwant to talk about Tyler Perry,
(01:02:47):
I want to talk about all kindof stuff and hopefully we get a
verdict this week so we can getback to that next week and get
back to talking about everythingthat means a lot to us, and not
diddy, diddy, moe, diddy, moe,diddy, moe, diddy, diddy, diddy.
(01:03:08):
So tune in y'all, I'll be outto New York this week.
Today, I think prosecution isfinishing up.
Today, yesterday, they put morebricks into the.
I guess I'll go over one lastarticle with y'all.
(01:03:30):
I'm going to stay a littlelonger.
Today they have a, is it thisone?
So BBC has an article asDiddy's prosecution.
I'm going to stay a littlelonger.
Today, y'all, diddy'sprosecution reads how compelling
(01:03:52):
is the case against them.
Prosecutors in New York Are setto rest their case After weeks
long.
Mr Combs has admitted Todomestic violence but has pled
not guilty To the prosecution'scharges.
The defense has yet to make acase, as we talked about.
(01:04:12):
Legal experts say theirtestimony has helped, uh, the
prosecution.
When we talk about theirtestimony we're talking about
ex-girlfriend cassie, rapper kidcuddy, who also dated cassie.
Uh, former assistants, hotelsecurity guards and others say
they witnessed Mr Combs' abuseand those testimonies legal
(01:04:36):
experts say helped prosecutorspresent a compelling case to a
panel of 12 jurors, but aconviction on all counts remains
far from assured.
Here are some key aspects ofthe case and the potential
vulnerabilities in theprosecution's arguments.
(01:04:57):
Cassie and Jane helped build sextrafficking.
A key witness for theprosecutors was Ms Ventura, a
musician and model known asCassie.
She testified for days abouther abusive on and off 11-year
relationship with Mr Combs.
Eight months pregnant and oftenspeaking through tears, miss
(01:05:19):
Cassie Ventura testified thatDiddy, aka Mr Combs, beat and
coerced her into so-called freakups.
This was during which she wouldhave sex with multiple male
escorts.
Prosecutors then alleged MrCombs used drugs, violence and
manipulation to pressure severalwomen into unwanted sexual
(01:05:41):
encounters with male escorts.
Cassie's testimony deliveredwhen she was.
She delivered weeks when shewas weeks away from giving birth
.
It was critical to theprosecutor's case, especially
(01:06:03):
the sex trafficking, which is acharge that carries a maximum
sentence of life in prison.
Some of the strongest evidencewas a surveillance video of Mr
Combs beating Miss Cassie in thehallway of a hotel during an
alleged freak-out and thetestimony of a hotel security
guard who said mr combs offeredhim money to get rid of the tape
.
Prosecutors also displayedphotos of cassie.
Many injuries allegedly allegedfrom the rapper's abuse.
(01:06:27):
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavystuff.
Y'all happened in this case.
But then we had another formergirlfriend known as jane.
We all know who jane was.
I ain't gonna say it on herebecause everybody got their
panties in a bunch and talkingabout they want to sue people.
I ain't trying to get sued.
But we know who jane is.
(01:06:48):
Anybody that got 50 cent totheir name right now know who
jane is.
Uh, she talked about the hotelnights and the freak-offs, uh.
But jurors were also known.
Shown loving text messages thatcassie and jane sent to mr
(01:07:10):
cones, including some in whichwomen expressed interest in
participating in those sex acts.
The public is becoming more andmore knowledgeable about the
domestic violence and the factthat women may feel compelled to
stay in abusive relationships,said Jennifer Beaton, a former
prosecutor with the SouthernDistrict Court of New York.
(01:07:32):
But a mix of loving messagesand allegations of coercion
could sometimes be difficult fora jury to put together.
Ms Beto suggested Mr Combs'case might not be one that is as
clean as the jury might like itto be.
Further complicating their case, prosecutors lost a third
(01:07:55):
alleged victim who they hadhoped would testify after they
were no longer able to contact.
Y'all know that was.
Everybody know that was Gina.
Nia Rahmani, a former federalprosecutor, said losing an
alleged victim could hurt thecase because a prosecution
(01:08:16):
benefit from having multipletestimonies.
Jurors may disbelieve onevictim, but it is really hard
for them to disbelieve many, heexplained.
Now lawyers sought out to provethe criminal enterprise.
Mr Combs is facing an equallyserious charge of racketeering.
We talked about theracketeering part, with
(01:08:38):
prosecutors alleging he reliedon loyal employees to run a
criminal enterprise, also tofacilitate his sexual abuse of
women and to also hide hisconduct.
The the Racketeering, influenceand Corrupt Organization Act,
also known as RICO, wasoriginally created to take out
(01:08:59):
mob bosses.
Remember I explained that inmuch detail but has since been
used in other cases, including asex trafficking trial that R
Kelly, who was convicted for 30years and I keep saying R Kelly,
who was convicted for 30 years,and I keep saying R Kelly's
recall was nowhere near asstrong as Diddy's recall.
That is what makes it hard forme to believe that he's going to
(01:09:23):
be found not guilty In thatsame court.
As a matter of fact, I did.
Uh, r kelly's was in thesoutheast district.
It was like a, a differentdistrict, but they said the
district that diddy is in hasthe more aggressive prosecutors
and actually for lack of betterwords the better prosecutors.
(01:09:46):
Um, and, like I said, r kelly'swas nowhere near as strong as
diddy's recall and he got 30years.
It's hard for me to not seeDiddy get be convicted, but we
shall see.
The government also accused MrCombs of using his criminal
enterprise to commit arson.
Rapper Kid Cudi testified thatMr Combs set his Porsche on fire
(01:10:10):
All because he was mad aboutCassie.
And Kid Cudi testified that MrCombs set his Porsche on fire
All because he was mad aboutCassie and Kid Cudi having a
time.
Let's just say they had a timeand leave it at that.
It may be easier forprosecutors to prove the
elements of sex trafficking thanracketeering because of the
many technical parts of theracketeering statute, including
(01:10:32):
the involvement of other peopleand entities.
It's hard to simplify complexlegal experts say.
Now I disagree.
I think the RICO is easier topull than the sex trafficking.
But that's just me.
Because there's so manypredicated acts they're like
seven or eight.
They only need two, but we'llsee.
But if jurors had alreadyconcluded Mr Combs is a bad guy,
(01:10:57):
they may be less likely toacquit him just because of one
particular element ofacomplicated legal charge.
And they say in my experiencejurors tend to fix upon a story
and then align the facts to fitwith that story.
Fix upon a story and then alignthe facts to fit with that
(01:11:19):
story and they're going to talkabout that.
Diddy's not going to take thestand.
We already talked about that.
