In Part 2 of this revealing interview, we welcome back the legendary publicist, record producer, and entrepreneur Jonathan Hay, joining us from Brooklyn, New York. Jonathan is ready to set the record straight once and for all on his role in the historical Rihanna and Jay-Z scandal. Recently reignited by Trap Lore Ross’ viral documentary featured on Akademiks, this controversy has resurfaced on TikTok and YouTube, bringing up old allegations that Jonathan had fabricated a story about an affair between Rihanna and Jay-Z as part of a bold marketing strategy. After 20 years of taking the blame, Jonathan now opens up about the truth behind this infamous scandal and who was truly involved in Rihanna's rise to stardom when she was just 17.

Jonathan also dives into his experiences in the music industry, sobriety, and the explosive popularity of ketamine in New York City, which he says has overtaken cocaine in the scene. He details the dangers of K-holes, the effects of ketamine, and how it's used today, while reflecting on his own journey to becoming fully sober, apart from occasionally smoking weed.

We also touch on the intense drama surrounding Liz Crokin's claims about Jay-Z’s alleged mistress Cathy White, who tragically died, with rumors linking the event to Kanye West and P. Diddy. Jonathan’s involvement in these controversies is further explored in the recent viral documentary, and he reveals how all this led him to release his upcoming book.

This episode doesn’t stop there – Jonathan shares the story of how The Daily Mail and other outlets once linked him to Adele, his experience with stem cell therapy in Dallas, and the traumatic home invasion that deeply impacted him and his daughter.

Join us for this exclusive, in-depth conversation full of shocking revelations, personal stories, and behind-the-scenes truths that will leave you wanting more. Stay tuned for Part 3!
