Man, I ain't going to lie. I've been holding a lot of [ __ ] in [Music] lately. Oh, man.
I just had a had like a 3 and 1/2 hour cry. What do I What do I owe the pleasure? What do I last?
We wash your car for you. We wash your car. We wash it off.
No shame in our hustle. When you goddamn getting into that wash and you know that [ __ ] going to be good like messed up behind this slippery soap, man. The streets are lit up and nobody predicted this manus 50 Cent just unleashed tapes that have Rick Ross on the brink about to blow.
This isn't your typical rap rivalry. This is all out warfare. We've got the exclusive details on how these fiery recordings leaked.
And once you hear what's on them, you'll see why Ross is spiraling. 50 didn't just make a move. He shattered the game.
Now it's total chaos. And the aftermath is just starting. Just like New York, just like Mount Vernon, New York City, Mount Vernon and Miami.
All that is the same, bro. Every Nobody wants to be near him. Nobody wants to touch what he touch, be where he at.
You understand? It's crazy, bro, how his fall from grace, which was never a from grace. It's just like the devil just kicked him out of hell because you can't.
He was never in nothing graceful and did anything graceful. You know what I'm saying? I don't care what you say about, okay, he did the music, he did he had the bad boy bad boy legacy and everything like that, man.
But, you know, a few albums, a few people, you know, made to be famous, but they not here to tell their story. Black Rob, Biggie, Craig Mack, they not here to tell their story, bro. And now you got everybody telling his story.
Yeah. And I know 50, he did a recent interview with US Weekly saying that the reason why rappers are quiet about, you know, Diddy situation is because they been to his party. Say they don't know what got caught on tape.
Bro, those people who was caught at Diddy's party did not know that he had 250 tape recorders in that house. That's a big house. Carl, listen up.
Men is 50 Cent has been plotting in the shadows and now it all clicks. When Ross came at him with that Officer Ricky jab back in 2009, everyone thought it was just another rap feud. But 50, he was playing a different game, chess, while they were stuck on checkers.
While Ross was out here showing off wingstop deals and luxury rides, 50 kept quiet, watching, collecting evidence. Then just when Ross thought he was untouchable, bragging about his new checker joint and feeling on top, boom, 50 hits back. If you've been watching his Instagram, those cryptic posts about fake flexing or just the setup.
Then out of nowhere on some random Tuesday, 50 drops that tape. No caption, no explanation, is pure chaos. That clip exploded online like a bomb and the entire gang went up in flames.
But he had 250 tape recorders in that house that they took that the feds found. So now with them finding all that and you being at a diddy party, you know, you may have done something that was caught on one of those tape, you just better pray to God that they don't recognize you. Those people who know that they did something know they not going to speak out.
They not going to say nothing. What part of the game is that? They are not going to come forward and tell on their self.
Nah, not at all. Ice Cube, he said it himself, bro. He said that Diddy's been targeted because of what he said about those folks and those people.
Now, the people who was on those tapes may feel like Diddy might be targeting them cuz if he's asked about who is this, who is that, and he's under oath with the federal government, he got to tell him. He not going to plead the fifth. Yeah, I know that got to be a terrible feeling, man.
You know, you know you did something wrong at Diddy Party and you hoping and praying that it's not caught on tape, but they don't think they did nothing wrong. That's their lifestyle. That's their lifestyle, bro.
I ask guys all the time, if two men lay down, how many homos get up? What you mean? A mean what I mean.
It's what it is. The second 50 dropped that tape. The whole industry went into meltdown.
Exx called emergency meetings. PR teams went into overdrive and anyone connected to Ross or Diddy disappeared off the radar. This wasn't just a disc.
This was a strategic strike. 50 waited until Ross thought he was untouchable, then hit hard. Ross was in the middle of a meeting when his phone blew up.
At first, he shrugged it off, thinking it was just another one of 50's jokes until he saw the video. That's when the game changed. And the word on the block, that was just the start.
50's been holding on to this for years, biting his time for the perfect moment to unleash it. Now, everyone's asking, what else does he have up his sleeve? If this is the opening move, the rest could be way worse.
I'm 100% factual, but it's somebody in this uh story of things that seems more reliable than others race is what I'll say it just to protect my sources. But this source informed me of who these uh A-list celebrities are on these tapes that are being allegedly auctioned off uh online uh and through the the networks. And it's put me in a little bit of a bind because I like to be fully transparent with the audience.
I want to say things, but I also realize from what I'm told cuz again I haven't seen them directly yet. I haven't and I don't know if I want to. Rece I want your advice on that too.
But the problem I have is just like typically I want to report these things but I got to be careful legally, ethically, morally as to what we report on here because as uh Ariel the lawyer here did admit and I can attest based on the information I got from a separate reliable source. Uh people in these videos don't know they're being videotaped. That's a big issue race.
Right. Let's start out right there. If there are people on these tapes that don't know that they were being filmed, is that okay to talk about and to share?
I have a big problem with that, as do you, Andy, and you you tend to be an ethical guy and you're taking the high ground here. Um, notwithstanding the fact that you may have some some significant information, reliable information, but the reality is that look, I mean, if people were recorded non-consensually and you're the one to identify them, I think that's a problem, right? And I and I think anytime anyone has content, right?
This is not an email, this is not a text message, this is video. Um, and there's specific statutes without using specific language I don't want to get into, but everybody knows what we're talking about here. It's diddy with this person.
I'll say that. It's diddy with this person actually. Yes.
Yeah. And see, the problem is again like non-consensually recorded. You got a victim here who may not want to be publicly identified.
That's the problem. That's the problem. and they have a right to proceed if they if they want to, whether it's criminally or civily, without being identified because we know what's going to happen.
As soon as they identify themselves, there's going to be a bunch of people that come out of the woodwork who are going to uh unequivocally harass them and claim that that didn't happen and they're making stuff up and there's the victims that we want to protect here and that's that's significant. Well, it's interesting because here's why I wanted to have this conversation because I know a lot of you be like, Andy, just say it. No, I'm not.
I'm not going to say them, but I want to have this conversation as to why we're not saying it and why I think others haven't yet said it raised because again legally, ethically, morally, it's just not right. Now, there's an argument I've had with people are like, well, they knew what they were doing with Diddy. Like, this was these were consensual acts.
Like, they knew and he filmed other times, so I don't know what the big deal is. It's going to come out. It's going to come out is what I keep hearing from other reliable sources.
Um, it may guys, it may come out, but it's not going to come out via me. That's just to warn you all because I just I don't think it's wise for us to put out something like like you just confirmed it without the consent of the other person in the video because again, from what I'm gathering based on some of these tapes, and again, I'm we're still learning more and I haven't seen them with my own eyes. All those times Ross swore, he never did business with certain people.
These tapes shatter that illusion. 50 drop receipts that expose Ross in shady dealings with Diddy. This isn't just casual interactions.
It's full-blown exposure. There's even audio of Ross bragging about under the table deals with upand cominging artists, proving this wasn't a one-off. Industry insiders are saying this kind of footage could end someone's career.
What's really got people rattled is how it connects to long-running rumors about Ross' early days. These tapes tell a whole new story, one that completely flips everything Ross has been claiming for years. Isn't it weird that the government was so interested in Dey's baby all that they took a thousand bottles away from his house?
If the government took a thousand bottles of baby oil and somebody had things what appeared to be baby oil and then you have to listen to the prosecutor. He said that they seized a thousand bottles with allegedly to be baby oil. allegedly to be baby all.
So that's telling people that it wasn't baby all and people think that that was baby all they out they mind. I don't believe it was baby all. Yo bro, when they went up in there they knew what they was going to find.
They knew what was ever in that baby all or that that that those bottles that appeared to be baby all. They knew about that at first. You got to realize nine times out of 10 that individual that got caught at the airport that was supposed to be their carrier told them what they was doing and what they had.
I wouldn't put them past that he told them everything. So when they went up in there, they knew they had to take whatever was out there and that thing that appeared to be baby all. They took that.
They got to test every last one of them. Let's see how much Let Let's see how many of those come back to be Baby All. Bro, listen to me.
Costco don't sell that much baby all. What you know sell that much baby all? Yeah.
I don't know any store that sell that much baby oil. I know Costco, they came out and said that they don't even sell baby oil. My sentiment is exactly.
But you personally, right, what do you believe was in the baby oil? If you ever seen a massage parlor being raided and they walking out the people, do they take the massage yard with them when they go? No, they just walk out to people who are being arrested.
The industry is stunned. Executives say watching those tapes felt like watching a career implode in real time. Ross' team scrambled into emergency meetings, wondering how many more bombs 50 had waiting to drop.
With Ross pushing new business deals and Diddy dealing with his own problems, the timing couldn't be worse. These clips aren't just causing drama. They're threatening Ross' brands, partnerships, and his entire reputation.
Every time Ross denies it, more footage comes out, making things worse. And once he saw what 50 leaked, the situation went from bad to catastrophic. If you ever seen a person getting arrested and the people being arrested in those brothel houses, do they take out the stuff in the brothel houses?
No, they don't. They take the individuals who are being arrested out the brothel houses for them to take a thousand bottles of baby oil. It's like that they did not leave one.
They left people there, but they ain't leave not one bottle. Nobody needed no baby oil. So my whole thing about it is is that there was something in that other than baby oil.
That's why they took all the bottles. And nine times out of 10, if I would give it a wild guess, it was and like some of the people told me, it was probably that GHB. What's that?
I think it's gamma hydro hydrox is I don't I I looked it up, bro. Let me see see if I can find it. I know this is is this is your show and everything like that, but Oh, no, no, no.
I'm Let me Yo, somebody tap dance or sing or do something. You know what I'm saying? While I'm doing this.
Oh, here it go. Right here. is gamma hydroxy bootaric.
What is it effect on the body? It's a euphoria, drowsius, decrease anxiety and memory impairment. It works on the nervous system and gives you this feeling of euphoria.
So they take that and rub it on her and you forget who you are, what you doing. It can also give you memory loss, drowsiness, and that's under the DEA, the uh drug enforcement administration. gov.
When those 3 a. m. notifications came through, no one was prepared.
Ross lost it, going off in a 15-minute Instagram rant filled with threats that sent his PR team into a panic. He wasn't denying the tapes anymore. He was threatening 50's life, looking exhausted and out of control.
Everything unraveled quickly. He sent voice memos telling people not to share the video, dropped old skeletons, and even went live, airing out names and addresses, including 50s and his families. That's when people started distancing themselves.
His team rushed to put out statements, but Ross kept undermining them, leaving even his closest allies begging him to log off before he destroyed everything. Uh, activities with other, you know, A-listers having activities together is what this is. And again, that's a potentially outing of somebody as well.
Do you know what I mean? There's so many things here uh that happen in in releasing of this private consensual moment that while salaciously everybody wants to know and people are messaging me all the time Andy Andy what who's and it's like I'm not going to say because there seem to be way too many things that these people in the tapes whether consensual whether they whatever didn't agree to put out there and I would think that's a legal issue too for anybody who puts these out first. No.
Yeah, you nailed it. You can't without the consent of the victim. That's the problem.
Somebody thinks that somebody has no idea, right? You said, "Well, didn't they know they're recording being recorded? " No.
I mean, in these situations, the assumption is they did not know. And that's what we believe right now is the victims did not know that they were being recorded. If the victim comes out and says, "Okay, yes, I knew I was recorded.
" And a statement is provided, that's a different story. But of course, you don't know that. So you Andy probably can't be the one to break that ice and be like, well I this is what I heard and this is what I know and so I'm going to say it.
Um and there's all kinds of hairy legal issues on that, right? With privacy and intrusion on on seclusion is what we call it. It's a privacy violation.
There could be defamation implications. There could be criminal uh implications. So you're doing the right thing by treading carefully.
And and I I think more people should do this rather than get into um speculation. Now, if you see the videos, even still, right? If if somebody takes not to interrupt, but that's the question.
Like, am I allowed to see these videos? Like, if I were to ask this source, show me the videos, do I put myself in worse legal jeopardy? That's another distinct legal issue, right?
It's like you're watching something that someone didn't know they were being recorded of doing, right? And so, it's dicey. It's dicey.
Now, it would be different if you were an attorney and somebody's coming to you for purposes of defense or prosecution of a claim, a civil claim or the filing, you know, of some action to recover damages. That's a little different. But for purposes of, hey, look what I got.
Juicy's gossip, you know, and there are reporting outlets that I won't mention that will do stuff like this. I I don't know that it's the smartest thing to do. I I don't know that it's the careful thing to do, that's for sure.
Or it's that it's the ethical or moral thing to do. Yeah, it exactly. and not a lawyer, but maybe this source will show you and then you can verify what we know.
But the but here's the other problem. Even if we verify what we know, like as I watch what Ariel, the lawyer, got these tapes and even again I I don't want to get into the details any any remote details that could help explain or or allude to even more of theories that are out there, you know, debunk or confirm. But I will say hearing what I heard, which again isn't confirmation, but hearing what I heard, it makes me dislike what Ariel's doing even more because I think there are going to be people out there if this information does get out in some way that are going to deny that these people are victims that they're going to try to say, "Oh, no, they're just consensually thing and they were hiding this affair and yada yada yada.
" And I just I don't see it that way personally. I mean, and granted, I haven't seen or know like this isn't somebody involved from what I've gathered in these tapes of them, you know, doing it to others in a way, you know, criminally like we've heard in some of these suits. This is just it almost feels like, again, if it's real, uh, like blackmail material that Diddy keeps to sort of hold over these people's heads.
And to me, that's awful to the people in it. whether they agreed or knew or whatever, it still just feels like that's no one's freaking business and maybe they were doing it for reasons we don't know. Just cuz we saw in the tape doesn't mean they weren't feeling pressured in other ways, right?
So, it's a heavy and complicated thing and but it's not a hard decision to say I can't run with trying to even allude to who these people are. Desperation hit hard and fast. Ross' team tried using copyright claims to wipe the tapes off the internet, but 50 had already flooded every corner of it.
Ross even offered millions to find out who filmed him. By morning, his Instagram was restricted for violations, so he went rogue, making burner accounts and getting even more reckless. His lawyers were panicking.
Business partners started distancing themselves. But Ross kept spiraling, dragging other artists into the mess, exposing unpaid collaborations and fake streaming numbers. It was like watching him set his own empire on fire.
The industry split. Some sided with 50 while others tried to defend Ross, but his erratic behavior made it impossible for anyone to stay loyal for long. Yeah, I 100% agree.
Like, let's let this play out in the legal realm. If you ever get Ariel on your show, I'd love to talk with her and have this conversation if she's willing to do it publicly because I still don't understand what her role is in all this, you know, and I've heard at times broker. I've heard at times advocate for victim and I I don't want to judge what she's doing or not doing.
I'd love to just have a conversation about it because I personally don't get it. Right. This is a very sensitive thing.
Again, if this gets turned over to the feds and the feds bring claims and this is outed, that's a totally different story. But the feds do what they're going to do. Like what we talked about months ago on your show, right, when this first went down, we knew when when hard drives were seized and things happened that look, they're going to build a build a case.
They're going to build a case that they think they can prosecute. It's not for us to speculate what's there or what's not, but to say, you know, you have tangible evidence of something on camera that you've seen and that it's being sold in order to protect someone to avoid being publicly named, which is what even the lawyers are now admitting. It just it all feels really dirty and shady, man.
The only person that makes sense that could buy this is the victim, right? If the victim says, "I don't want this to come out. Yes, it was it was consensual, but I don't I don't want it to come out.
I didn't know I was being recorded. Give it to that person. Right.
I guess but you're right because then they can actually own it. Maybe there is a version of this. That's what Ariel is trying to allude to.
You you'll own it and no other network's going to be able to buy it or show it if you own it and haven't given them permission. I guess is that maybe part of what they're trying to do here in in that the celebrity who buys it can actually then control it just from a clearance standpoint? Yeah.
I mean, look, I mean, it still raises some some legal concerns, right? Because let me say it this way. If this was a transaction, if this is a business transaction wherein the the victim is then acquiring the exclusive rights to this tape or tapes, um, and that the person who recorded is avowing that they will not use it.
I don't know where that leaves P. Diddy and the feds, right? But they have an independent right to to bring this stuff to light if it gets prosecuted.
But my point is if you're transferring legal rights of this consensual or non-consensually recorded tape to the victim, I think that's a better position to be in. But then the question is, is this person even in a position to be able to buy the tape, right? Are they are they a highle celebrity?
Um like who are they? We can assume that they're celebrities with millions and millions of dollars to to to expend on something like this. Just raises a lot of questions.
When the chaos erupted, the industry's true colors came out. Meek Mill liked 50s posts. Artists quietly unfollowed Ross and collaborations started disappearing without explanation.
Da Khaled stayed silent. French Montana posted about karma and future shared many men on his story. Even Drke dropped a cryptic line about loyalty, leaving fans speculating.
The message couldn't have been clear. Ross was losing support and fast. Label execs went into full panic mode, cancelling joint meetings and pulling artists from collaborative lineups.
Subio stopped booking Ross and 50s affiliates together, and festivals quietly rearranged their sets. The tension was palpable, and it was clear this wasn't about loyalty. It was all business.
When 50 teased even more tapes, the anxiety grew with rumors swirling that it was starting to feel like a new east versus west rivalry. What began as another round in the 50 versus Ross saga has now sent shock waves through the entire industry. Artists are secondguessing every move, hesitant to pull out phones or speak openly, knowing 50 could have more tapes ready to drop.
If he's been sitting on footage for 14 years, what else is lurking in the shadows? This isn't just about Ross and Diddy anymore. It's a wake-up call for everyone.
In today's digital age, your past can never stay hidden. Now, the real question is, who's next?
