The Making of Diddy's Dream Team
Everything changed this week when Diddy completely revamped his legal defense team, transforming what many considered an open-and-shut case into what could be the trial of the decade. For months, I've been critical of Diddy's legal representation, pointing out their missteps and apparent lack of strategic direction. Now, at the eleventh hour, Diddy has assembled what I'm calling his "It Was All a Dream Team" – a high-powered group of attorneys that bears striking resemblance to OJ Simpson's famous defense.
The game-changer began with Mark Garagos taking a more prominent role. Though his daughter Tenny has been part of the team, Mark's strategic fingerprints are now all over Diddy's defense approach. Adding to this legal firepower, Diddy has brought in Brian Steel – the attorney who successfully defended Young Thug in what many thought was an unwinnable RICO case. Perhaps most strategically significant is Diddy's active search for a prominent Black female attorney to round out his team, clearly anticipating how to counter the prosecution's case that includes allegations from Black female victims.
Unlike his previous approach where the defense team telegraphed their strategy publicly, the new team appears disciplined and focused. They're making calculated moves reminiscent of the OJ Simpson playbook – emphasizing racial aspects of the case while assembling a diverse team that can connect with potential jurors. By bringing multiple specialized attorneys together, they're also compensating for the limited preparation time before the May trial date.
The prosecution now faces a far more formidable challenge than they likely anticipated. While the evidence against Diddy remains substantial, the presentation of that evidence – and how effectively each side connects with the jury – will ultimately determine the outcome. We're witnessing a master class in high-stakes legal maneuvering that ensures this trial will captivate the nation.
Follow my daily coverage as we approach the trial date – I'll be breaking down every strategic move, legal argument, and courtroom development as this unprecedented case unfolds. The Diddy trial has transformed from a foregone conclusion into one of the most unpredictable legal battles of our time.

Don't never fail me, so it will be clear as day on the podcast. See tuck cleveland in the building. I appreciate you, bro. Uh, everybody.
Speaker 1:I was so excited for this show today. I ain't gonna lie, it was like christmas man. I almost wanted to start the show at 6 30 am because I've been up um, this Diddy trial. I is shaping up to be one for the ages, and either Diddy is watching my content and got Stevie J like they are studying my content or something, because the moves they making now is almost like they're listening to me and we got to talk about it with the lawyer.
Speaker 1:Y'all know I've been bashing Diddy and his legal team the whole entire time. I've been saying they horrible used car salesman did he gonna get 100 million years fooling with this defense team? Y'all know, I've been saying this since september. I don't know any other podcast or youtuber anybody that had been screaming about how terrible this defense is. And remember, if you go back in time, if you can remember some of the previous episodes, I was like you would think somebody with Diddy and his money would assemble an organized dream team like OJ, and this team looked nothing like it. And then yesterday, this week week, all hell broke loose. And now this gonna be a close trial. Y'all we gonna have to tune in. You know, I've been telling you always call it down the middle. You might not want to hear this, but did he just raise his chances of beating this to me by 500? He actually has real capable lawyers that we need to pay close attention to. I mean unbelievable moments before this trial.
Speaker 1:Diddy pulls this move. This is a Mohawk Diddy move. This is why I nicknamed him Mohawk Diddy, because Mohawk Diddy, whether you love him or hate him, mohawk Diddy was unstoppable. Mohawk Diddy once ran, in 2001 or 2002, he ran a marathon. He had a busted knee, a torn Achilles. This is what they said. I don't know if this is all true, but he finished that race and gave a million dollars to charity and he probably went and enjoyed all the baby, all he wanted to and had a freak off after that. Who knows? But y'all either, I'm that good to where I called out that.
Speaker 1:Did he even know that his team horrible? See, one thing about me, did he? Might not? I ain't gonna say mike, did he? Don't like my ass? No, did he. But one thing about it whether you like somebody or not, you know when they know what the fuck they talking about. And I just don't want to believe that stevie j and I'm really paying that much attention to my content, even though they're in my comment section and all it is but I swear because why? What took him so long? It was almost like. It was almost like stevie j was like man flow, right, you got a horrible legal team, diddy, you're going to have to step it up.
Speaker 1:Not only that, I pinpointed the amount of time that Diddy, when he got Mark Garagos, I told y'all things had changed. Mark Geragos, I told y'all things had changed Before anybody reported on it. Mark Geragos, I can tell Diddy's whole defense switched gears and started operating like a competent legal team and the funny thing is, guess who just now reporting that? You know, I said this on my podcast days and days and days ago uh, might have even been last week. I said it when I told y'all. I said things is changing. He got garego, somebody who actually knows what they're doing. We need to pay attention. Guess who? His guess who's uttering those same words today? Tmz yesterday when they broke the news about this new lawyer. But we about to get into all of that. That's what the show. I had to give you a really good intro to today's show, probably since we started, and I'm just talking about excitement because it actually feels like the damn trial has started. That's how crazy this week has been and I had to give you a hell of an intro, but I hope everybody's doing well. That's what we're talking about.
Speaker 1:Before we get into that, I just want to shout out some of my close ones, my friends and family, uh, for holding me down all the time and and it just feels good, man, I, I, I to have a beautiful son that you know been it been there, like ike and mike, since the day he came into this world, since, since, since, from that time on, we've been the best friends man, best friends. It was times I would drop him off to his mother and he loves his mom and I don't know if he would get mad if I say this, but I believe he's a mama's boy in a good way. He loved his mama, like my dad always told me. I'm your daddy, but make sure you always support your mama. Daddy going to be all right. Mama needs your support 24-7. So when I say he a mama's boy, I mean he a boy that looks out for his mama and loves his mama. But it was days y'all we were so close. It was days I would drop my son off when he was six, seven years old. He would just bust out in tears. Or it was times he was two, three years old, two years old. I would drop him off and give him to his grandmother, his mom's mother, and, and he would grab onto me like velcro. You would need the jaws of life to pull him off of me, man and and and just that love between us is special and it's something I never, ever would take for granted. Love that boy.
Speaker 1:But it's not just about my sons. My whole group man, justin, my college buddy Cash, my best friend Darnell, us, we all knew each other. When we didn't have shit, we were kids. Now we're all grown. We didn't have mustaches, we didn't have shit. We were kids. Now we're all grown. We didn't have mustaches, we didn't have nothing. Now we all got gray hair and we raising our kids. We met each other. We didn't have kids, we didn't have careers, we didn't have nothing. And then to go 20, 30 years from now from when we met each other even 40 years 20, 30 years from now from when we met each other even 40 years and Justin is at the top of the corporate ladder and raising a beautiful son. His son is, I believe, 14. And that's all we talk about.
Speaker 1:Y'all, we, a bunch of fathers who love the shit out of our sons and our children, and that's all we talk about. I talked to Justin yesterday, my best friend Darnell. We talk about it. It's just so much joy, man, and I appreciate it and I want everybody to appreciate theirs and love theirs and understand nothing comes between or nothing is more important than our children, and that's just where I come from.
Speaker 1:And before I get into this ditty, I'm going to tell you a quick story that changed. That really showed me how important it is. You know my goal was I saw a lot of drama when I was coming up, so my goal was I didn't want my son to see me acting a fool and this and that I just think that it just leaves bad memories in your kids. Some of the stuff I saw out of adults. You know it wasn't the worst things, but it just just. You know, when you see just a lot of blow-ups and stuff, it sits with you and you don't want to do that to your child.
Speaker 1:So my son was two years old and, um, me and his mom were going through, you know we were super young, a lot going on. We were going through our thing that everybody goes through and, um, she didn't want me to. You know, like it was a time period where she didn't. She was mad at me, didn't want me to. You know, like it was a time period where she didn't. She was mad at me, didn't want me to see him. You know how we go through that. But, like I said, he has a beautiful mother. This is nothing about his mother at all. She is the best son's mother you could ever have in your life. I appreciate her for that, but this particular story.
Speaker 1:My son was two years old. I went up to the daycare because I don't care who, you know, nobody's stopping me from seeing my son. I went up to the daycare that he went to at two years old and I got a chance to see him. You know, I didn't care what. Nobody thought right. So my son comes. So then his mother comes up there. She's upset that I'm up there seeing my son. You know I'm blaming she a mother. She didn't want me to see him here. She comes. So she comes up there, put him in the car and now me and her are arguing. Now pay attention, my son is two years old. That's an important part of the story.
Speaker 1:He's two years old, he's back in his car seat with the windows up, me and his mom arguing back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, and I probably I didn't say anything out the way because one thing about I'm not gonna disrespect no woman. I might plead my case, but in my family we don't, we're not going. Men, men check men, women check women. I don't, I'm never gonna check a woman, um, or, or disrespect or or anything, so um, but with a man, I give a man any smoke and whatever he want at any drop of a dime. So, anyway, so we're going back and forth and this and that, but one of the statements I made was I'm just, I'm just trying to see my son, and I remember saying that now let's fast forward. Uh, everything was cool.
Speaker 1:She ended up getting the car and leaving and I did get a chance to see my son. I was happy. Fast forward to. My son is five years old now. My son said hey, dad. He smiled at me, looked at me, said hey, dad, you remember that time when you came to my daycare and I'm thinking like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1:Because I'm not, no way in hell. I'm thinking he remember anything from two years old. And so I said what are you talking about? He said you was, you was, you was talking, you was yelling. I don't know if he said I was yelling at mom or talking to mom, but I don't know. He said you was talking to mom and you said you was just trying to see your son and he lit up with the biggest smile ever. My heart melted and dropped to the floor. I said son, I remember that day. I was trying to see you. Yeah, and I would do anything to see you.
Speaker 1:That day I didn't tell my son, but that day I realized they always watching, and don't nothing feel better to a children, especially a son to his father, to know that his father got his back and he don't give a fuck who cares about what anybody got to say. And so that day forward I always knew the key to my happiness, the key to my son's happiness, was to always put him first. My dad always made it, told me they didn't ask to be here. My son didn't ask to be here. I brought him here. And since I brought him here, it's my fucking responsibility to make sure he gets and has everything he needs. That's all. That means something to me.
Speaker 1:I could be sleeping on a park bench, homeless. As long as my son is all right, I'll be cheesing from ear to ear. So everybody enjoy theirs, we enjoy ours. I just had to shout out Justin and Cash and Cash just took his son. Their sons are younger than mine. He just took his son to spring break in LA. Just a lot of good things going on. So shout out to everybody and everybody's children and everybody out there that goes hard for theirs. Shout out to you and we're going to get into this Diddy stuff y'all. And we're going to get into this Diddy stuff y'all.
Speaker 1:So y'all know I have been screaming about Diddy's legal team and damn it, diddy agreed with me Because if he didn't revamp his legal defense, damn. Remember how I told y'all this was an easy one. Not no more tune the fuck into this trial. Y'all know I've been telling you. You know I always keep it real with y'all, up into this. Last week I did. He had the worst legal defense I've ever seen and it was like either he heard my podcast or I don't think he did. I think I just called it and he switched gears and now it's gear ghosts.
Speaker 1:They just brought in Brian Steele, young Thug's attorney. If you remember Young Thug's attorney, if you remember Young Thug's, a rapper who had a Rico who was. They had all type of evidence. We thought Young Thug was going away for 100 years. Young Thug's sitting at home right now because of Brian Steele. At the last minute he took a plea deal. The only reason the prosecution did the plea deal is because they didn't have him and Young Thug's other defendants were found innocent. Everybody knows and says if young thug would have went ahead and took it to the jury, he would have been found innocent. Did? He got brian steel? Now, not only that, did he is now trying to get a prominent black woman attorney to to diversify his legal team.
Speaker 1:And they taking a page out of oj's book and this I'm about to break this down. I don't know how long this is gonna take, y'all, but just be patient today, because today it's a lot to break down and I'm coining this phrase right now. So if you hear somebody take it, you know where it came from. Oj had his dream team and Diddy is coming with his. It was all a dream team.
Speaker 1:Let's get into this article. I'm gonna take it straight from TMZ y'all. This is explosive news. I am speechless. I called it out but damn, I didn't know diddy would make the adjustment, and especially at the last minute like this. But y'all, he has put together a real defense team now. Now, if I'm a betting man, of course I still think he's gonna be found guilty because the evidence is damning, but it ain't. I wouldn't bet my life on it, like I wouldn't put a lot of money on it, because these lawyers that he pulled in are something else. So first I'm going to get into what Diddy's doing. I'm going to get into what Diddy's doing and then I'm going to tie it to how it ties to the OJ trial and how they're taking a page out of OJ's book and we'll see if it works or not. But let's go to TMZ, and TMZ said a lot. I swear TMZ already know TMZ listening to me too, because you'll see in this article what they say, that they just now broke in this article that I've already told y'all last week about uh garrigos.
Speaker 1:But here we go, tmz, with one of the most explosive articles that have come out. Just because this whole legal defense shake-up is. I mean, did he just put himself in a much better position to try to uh gain his freedom? Like I said, my gut's still telling me he will be found guilty, but I'm not as sure about it as I was two weeks ago. So, uh, the article is diddy on hunt for black female lawyer must be available now. Okay. Goes on to say diddy wants a black woman in his corner when his federal trial begins in less than three weeks. That's why he's searching for a new attorney to add to his defense team.
Speaker 1:Sources with direct knowledge tell tmz diddy's lawyers are searching for a black female attorney to join his current trial team of Mark Agnophilio and Tenny Garagos, who is the daughter of Mark Garagos. Keep in mind the moguls attorneys have already raised race as a critical part of its defense, accusing the feds of trying to take down a rich, successful black man. Mark and tinny are both white, so that could be why diddy is looking to diversify his panel of counselors. But we're told this new addition is not just for appearances and the new attorney must have legal chops to tackle what's sure to be hard fought case. This is shaping up y'all, so check this out. Rico left. That was his only black, black attorney. Rico is only black, uh, black attorney Rico. But if you notice now that get this has all come since Garagos has took over. Even the TMZ article goes on to say that, uh, our sources say Mark, high-powered attorney Mark Garagos, will have a significant role in Diddy's case.
Speaker 1:Tmz just broke this news yesterday. When did I tell you guys, mark Geragos fingerprints was all on this now, last week on my content on my social media no publication, public, public. Uh, publicize that. Tmz just now said it yesterday. I'm a week ahead of everybody in the news when it comes to this Diddy trial. Ain't nobody touching me. I told you my goal is for my community, for all y'all, to be ahead and know more than y'all, friends, when it comes to these cases, especially this Diddy trial. And if I want to pat myself on the back, I'm doing a damn good job and I'm going to be honest, I don't know if I can continue to call out stuff like, like at this pace. I'm even surprised. I'm like it's like a dream. I'm like I've been shitting on Diddy's attorneys all this time and then in the final quarter he just revamps and changes. So obviously he understood what I was saying and agreed with me, whether he liked me or not.
Speaker 1:Diddy agreed with me that his legal defense team is shitty and he's beefing it up and Mark Garagos is in control and and you know how I can tell. See, mark Agnifilio didn't know what he was doing. He seems like one of those lawyers who are just known because he has a big name and maybe he has some notoriety. But he did too much talking. He did too much talking and I'm going to give a spoiler alert about the OJ thing and what Garagos is bringing to this team. Y'all know me. I'm just to give a spoiler alert about the OJ thing and what Garagos is bringing to this team. Y'all know me, I'm just calling it down the middle, I'm just educating and letting y'all know what's going on. So as this trial go, you will be prepared. Like, oh, he said this legal team was serious. I want y'all to be prepared for what's upcoming that they did too much of is Diddy and his legal team did too much exposing of what their uh, uh, what they were going to do with their defense was going to be, and what I mean by that.
Speaker 1:And this is how I knew it was unorganized and I it was. Just it was. It was horrible. His whole defense was horrible. That you know they were. They were talking about Diddy's a black man and he. They were. They were talking about Diddy's a black man and he. They were trying to win public opinion. Because why were they trying to win public opinion? Because Diddy was trying to get out. See, they weren't thinking about the trial at that time. Diddy was trying to win public opinion to help him get bail. But in doing that, he exposed his strategy, the strategy that he is going to use the race card. He is going to say that this is straight racism. They're doing this to him because he's a black man and Agnophilia been saying that since the beginning. But contrast that to the OJ trial if you old enough to remember it or if you studied it.
Speaker 1:We were blindsided by OJ's defense strategy. We thought he was going to pick apart we thought OJ's defense team would pick apart the timeline. We thought OJ's defense team would pick apart the evidence. That's what the public thought before the OJ trial started. Nobody knew that the race car was going to be pulled. You know, when we found out during the trial Out the blue and they caught everybody by surprise and they went on to do what they do what they did.
Speaker 1:So let's go back to Diddy's legal defense. They've been blabbing, blabbing, blabbing, exposed their own hand. But if you notice, they ain't been blabbing about no strategies ever since Garagos came, but they have been preparing themselves for the race card. See, garagos is from that school of lawyer where you make moves, you don't talk about your moves or you don't tell what your next move is going to be. And if you notice, now they're not talking about the race card but they're preparing for the race card. How are they preparing? Well, again, they're trying to get a black, a black attorney, black female. They want to have a black female up there speaking, as they say, diddy loves.
Speaker 1:Diddy doesn't harm women. Diddy, you know, I know the whole defense, I see the whole strategy playing his day. They want to paint the picture that Diddy this is just his girlfriends. He didn't do anything to anybody, he wouldn't. He loves women, black women, all women. But if you got three witnesses and I believe they all black, but we do know Cassie's a black woman If you want to use the race card you better have a black woman on the defense team. And I believe that's what Gary Gose told him.
Speaker 1:But this is explosive, y'all, because he changed the whole. Now we really have to watch this trial. I'm telling y'all I'll say it again, before y'all know y'all been on here I was. This was an open, shut case with the legal team that he had. I didn't know how many years he would get. I just knew he would be found guilty and get a bazillion years with that defense team he was working with and he must got the picture that he must on his own. He looked at it and said this ain't going to work. Or I don't know what happened. He brought in Mark Garagos and everything's been changed. Everything has changed, everything has changed.
Speaker 1:So we're going to continue to talk about what is Diddy's whole MO? Well, now it's been exposed. See what, if I told you, diddy's defense is copying OJ's defense. The only thing is they kind of exposed their hand before, but now, under Garagos, it's a whole new ball game. So what that mean is the prosecution is going to have to make sure they are on top of their game. The things they got away with before, like you could you know, because Diddy and his illegal team were kind of shooting themselves in the foot and all kinds of stuff before. So the prosecution was doing their thing and handling it. But now they have to cross every t dot, every I mark garagos, who was famously known for defending michael jackson, um, and bringing on a black woman. I'm going to the black woman that I that I think that Diddy is going to pull. This is just another guess for me. But if he gets one of these black women attorneys, then at that point I'm going to know that Diddy is watching my content, or Stevie J, or somebody.
Speaker 1:Check out this clip, my content, because towards the end I break down the two women that Diddy might possibly be bringing on to the team. Tell you a little bit about them. Listen to this video. Y'all this game has changed my content because he just made a move that's now making this case too close to call. What if I told you diddy is looking for a black woman attorney? Now y'all just getting crazy. I'm gonna tell you about who she is and some other women. But remember I told you mark garrigos goes here. Oh man, my bad, my bad, y'all my bad. It's one of those days. This case is just unbelievable at this point. Did he watch my content? Because he just made a move that's now making this case too close to call? What if I told you Diddy is looking for a black woman attorney? Now Y'all this is getting crazy. I'm going to tell you about who she is and some other women, but remember I told you Mark Garagos. He a crazy attorney. He got some moves. Y'all going to want to put your seatbelts on this.
Speaker 1:Diddy trial is about to be closer than I thought. So remember when I told you yesterday that Diddy looking for extra time, an extra few weeks, and they were claiming it was about 200 emails and all of that. Well, now we found out what it's really about, and it's deep. What it really is is this, and stay with me diddy has an attorney. All his attorneys are white, and the reason why is because this one left that's rico, and he said he can't even defend diddy, even though he actually defended. You all know diddy's team and I've been saying it Been looking like used car salesman, but Garagos came in and he been making moves. Garagos said Diddy, you trying to use the race card in this trial, but you got nothing but a bunch of white attorneys. You're going to need to get some color in this attorney team. Diddy said you're right. Right, I didn't think about that. That's why I brought you on this team, because mark agnefealy don't know what he doing.
Speaker 1:Now consider now we know one of the victims for sure is a black woman, cassie. Now, this only makes sense. Now let's look into what black women is Diddy about to choose. I got some guesses and I've been right a lot of times. Let's see how this goes. First, we got attorney Tiffany Simmons. She is famous for winning a $160 million verdict for wrongful death and it was a big record company that was to blame. That's her right here, but the one I really think let me break this down because this is the one, I think if I had to lean one way or the other, well, so we got two. We got Tiffany Simmons. We got Tiffany Simmons. The other. Well, so we got two. We got tiffany simmons, we got tiffany simmons, because this is the one, I think if I had to lean one way or the other. Well, well, well, ladies and gentlemen, meet jasmine ran. This probably the one. So we got tiffany, we got tiffany simmons. And jasmine ran. Tiffany Simmons and Jasmine Rand are the two that I, if I was to guess who, what black women Diddy is trying to bring on. Those are my two guesses. If he brings on one of those two y'all, I'm going to have to block him from my podcast and my content. I'm going to have to block Stevie J. I'm going to have to block all the bad boy, because I think they looking at my stuff. Um, so let me tell you tiffany simmons.
Speaker 1:What is she known for? She is known for winning a 160 million dollar uh settlement case for a uh, uh out of a large record company. They won't say who the record company is, but a large record company. It was a lot of lives lost at an event. They were found to be held liable and, uh, she, uh, uh. They found her to be, they found the person to be held liable and it was $160 million and she won it. That was a huge case, but not only that. Another thing about Tiffany Simmons she's a black woman. But another thing about her she is a criminal defense attorney who is literally undefeated. She hasn't lost a case in 15 years. Could be her now the other one I was.
Speaker 1:When I did some digging. I said another possibility is jasmine rand. Who is jasmine rand? If you don't know jasmine r, you may know her legal partner, ben Crump. Ben Crump, most people know him from the Trayvon Martin case, rasheem Carter case, which is a case that actually got me started on my journey that I am on to this day. Jasmine Rand is his partner, civil rights attorney. Uh, also has a great record. I don't know what her record quite is, but she is a beast. So those are the two names I'm throwing out there. Let's see if diddy, um, let's see if diddy goes with any of those two or it goes with someone else. Uh, but like I said, if he now, if he does pick one of those, like I said it's going to be.
Speaker 1:Either I'm just that freaking good or they are fucking watching and listening to everything I'm talking about and coming together with a, with a plan. I don't know Y'all. It's weird, it's very weird and I'm not the one to think everybody doing it. I have to wait till so much happened before I really will say hold up something strange, because I know coincidences can happen all the time. So that's what I look at stuff as Most of the time that's just a coincidence, but at this point it's getting crazy and, like I said, either I'm just calling it out or I don't know y'all.
Speaker 1:But we're gonna talk about brian steel now. Brian steel, I told you most famously, um added, uh, uh got young thug out of out of prison, out of uh beat his case. Actually, young thug was like our third or fourth episode of this podcast. One of our biggest episodes is the episode about the work that Brian Steele did on Young Thug's case. Go back and check out the episodes, but that's like one of our most downloaded episodes. So we know about Brian Steele.
Speaker 1:Tmz covered this one again. Diddy, I want Young, young thugs lawyer defending me. That's the title of the, the article. Brian still is a beast. And I'm gonna tell you another thing uh reason why diddy uh is assembling all these uh high power. Besides that, they're all good lawyers and he's trying to beat the case. But there's something else and I'm gonna get to that after this article, don't let me forget. So diddy is looking to beef up his legal defense team with an attorney famous for defending young thug in court. According to new legal docs obtained by tmz, georgia attorney brian still wants to be admitted to practice law in the Southern District of New York so he can help defend Diddy at a trial.
Speaker 1:Diddy targeting Brian to join his growing legal team is interesting, as we reported. Our sources told us Diddy's camp was searching for a black female attorney to join his current trial. So far he hasn't been able to get a black female attorney, but he got Brian Steele. So Brian Steele could either be in place of the black female attorney or he. He added Brian Steele because he was available and he's looking at it like I'll try to get a black female, but if I can't, hey, I'm good with who I got. Who knows? But let's go on to this article. Our sources also say high powered attorney Mark Garagos will assume a significant role in Diddy's case. Here they go again, but I said it first, while Mark and Tenney will continue to be lead counsel, hey look, they can. Mark and Tenney are lead just because they don't want to make it look like they're on. They're unorganized because they've been the lead all this time. But you bet your bottom dollar Mark Garagos is driving this bus.
Speaker 1:Diddy's defense team has been doing some shuffling recently. Y'all know. Attorney Anthony Rico jumped ship back in February. Brian, looking to join the fold, comes virtually at the 11th hour. Jury selection at Diddy's federal trial is scheduled for may 5th, that's. And and uh, mark and tinney asked the judge to push it back a couple weeks. We'll see if that works.
Speaker 1:But uh, couple things. One, we know that that was bs when, when they were asking for extra time because of some emails that they wanted Because them emails, there was so many emails and they wanted to get through and have time. Remember yesterday we said and we talked about right here on the flow show no filter, that that was gamesmanship and it wasn't about no fucking emails. Well, uh well, yesterday they broke the news that diddy was looking for more attorneys. That's why they wanted more time. Another thing we called out on this platform we on fire, we're calling it out. Y'all only thing I can't call out is what's gonna happen, I don't know, once this trial start. I'm telling you, it's all kind of nasty stuff gonna be said, all type of evidence. Who knows, we might see more evidence of diddy putting his hands on people we don't know. We don't know what they have in discovery.
Speaker 1:But now the point that I didn't want y'all to let me forget is go back to Rico, go back to the attorney Rico who left. Do y'all remember what his reason for leaving was, other than maybe he was disgusted? That's that's for us to speculate. But his main thing that he stood on was that he said it wasn't enough time. You see, they looked at that superseding indictment and Rico said it ain't enough time. We need months and months and months and months of an extension. Diddy looked at him and said I ain't standing here. No, months and months and months of an extension. Diddy looked at him and said I ain't standing here, no, months and months and months waiting on your ass. Go head on and Diddy let him go, but think about it. Okay. So now, what is Diddy known for doing if he needs something done fast or something right in his mind, he going to just throw money at it. So I believe, in my humblest opinion, that tends to be fucking right. I believe this is another reason why he's assembling all of these different lawyers to make up for all of the time that he actually needs.
Speaker 1:What do I mean by that? Well, it goes back to when I used to renovate homes and I had developed a technique that made me able to renovate homes much faster than my competition, and so I did simple math if it takes four guys 60 days to renovate a home, it should take eight guys 30 days. Let me say that again. I came up with a strategy and I used to renovate. I contracted flipped homes. I did all of that. Anybody knows I was heavy real estate back in the day. That was one of my loves Still is but while everybody was just going with their four-man crew, I would do my renovations where I would have all kind of different guys working at the same time. Look, you do the bathroom and kitchen, you do the floors, you do this, and we all synchronize it and work together. So we were able to do three months' worth of work in 30 days, where everybody else was taking two, three, four, five months to renovate, I was knocking them work in 30 days, where everybody else was taking two, three, four, five months to renovate, I was knocking them out in 30 days or less, full renovations.
Speaker 1:And so well, why am I even talking about that? Well, I believe diddy is implying, uh, employing the same exact strategy. He's saying, well, if we need an extra two, three, and that's what this legal team I had Remember, this is before Gary goes, brian Steele and all of that In his mind well, we don't need more time, we just need more lawyers. So this lawyer can focus on this evidence, this lawyer can focus on this evidence and we can do three months worth of work in two, three weeks. That's what I believe is happening, other than him trying to just get better legal help. I think he is assembling all of these different lawyers because, with all the evidence that came in a new superseding indictment, it's almost like, okay, how can I make up for the time? I'm just going to hire more lawyers and that's what he's doing.
Speaker 1:Right, get your popcorn ready, shout out to everybody. Hey, look, the community is just as excited about this trial coming up as I am with its history. It's a chance for victims to be held accountable or it's a chance for innocent man to walk free. Who knows how it's gonna turn out? Y'all know where I stand. I believe he guilty, but I'm not on the jury, I'm not a defense lawyer, I'm not a prosecutor, so we'll see what they decide.
Speaker 1:But shout out to the community you know how many messages I get like I love how you cover it, or I'm thankful, or waiting for the trial, and it's genuine excitement just to be like dissecting and breaking down something that we have come together as a community since October 30th, october 30th. We've been waiting for a May trial date since October 30th together covering. I said to myself, how, how can? Is it gonna be enough ditty news to even talk about daily all the way up until may? And here we are almost at the trial. And damn, if it wasn't enough ditty news to cover it. From october to april to may and through that bonding that we've all done.
Speaker 1:We've talked about the cases, the ups, the downs, the. We've been on pins and needles together, waiting for verdicts, waiting what. Remember how many times we've been waiting for him to get bail or get denied? And you know it seemed like every time. If you remember, after he got denied the last time, everybody and they mama told us that that was his last bail chance. Next thing I know Diddy was up for bail again. Everybody hitting my DM like what's going on? How is he getting another chance at bail? I'm like I don't fucking know. He's got a Mohawk Shit. I don't know. I pretty much know 90%, but the 10% I don't know. Pretty much know 90%, but the 10% I don't know. I blame it on the Mohawk, but We've been through all that together. We've rolled this whole Rollercoaster together Victims whose stories Made us cry.
Speaker 1:Some victims' stories made us question Was it true? Which is always hard to do. We never want to question victims, but some stories are so outlandish you have to say is this true? And we shared all that together. So, as we come up on this trial that we've been waiting for together as a community, as a, as a, as a platform, it's an exciting time, I mean. But other than the excitement, there are real victims. There are real, just horrible things that have been being alleged.
Speaker 1:And this is the hour and the time of accountability. See at the flow, show no filter. We all about accountability and we all about no filter, straightforward honesty, accountability, and we all about no filter, straightforward honesty. If you can't handle it, what they? What's that old saying? If you can't handle the heat, you got to get out of the kitchen.
Speaker 1:See, every day, all day long, people say things to me that I don't like. But I always tell myself everybody has freedom of speech. What they eat don't make me shit. So I don't get bent out of shape or get personal about things people say, because I love it. I come from a group of friends. It's a tight circle. It's four or five of us all known each other since kids and we all say whatever is on our mind.
Speaker 1:If I need to be checked, darnell going to say some shit I might not want to hear. He might he say he needs some. I might say some shit to him. He might not want to hear my boy Justin, my college friend. He might say something to me I don't want to hear. Vice versa, my whole world is full of accountability. That's all we talk about as a matter of fact, me and my Justin, me and my friend Justin.
Speaker 1:If too long go past without one of us calling each other out and saying what we need to do better or what we need to be working on or what we are working on, we'll just bring it up, say man, I don't even want no friends around me who won't call me out, and neither do my friends, and so I'm always appreciative To the ones who support me. Because you gotta realize, it takes a lot of balls To turn and hit, to hit record In real time, del, deliver a podcast giving your absolute truth and then letting the world hear it every day for hours. You know why? Because everybody wants to judge. Everybody wants to pick and prod at whatever you say. Everybody wants to judge, everybody wants to pick and pry at whatever you say. But the key to this game and the key to this business that I'm in you, where I have a family support system and I hope and pray everybody has a great support system, because they mean a lot.
Speaker 1:When I get off this podcast, I'm going to call my friend Justin. We're going to talk about our sons, we're going to talk about the life we're building for them. I might go to the beach with my best friend, darnell and talk about what we've been through and what we did. I'm going to call or text my mom and we're going to laugh and joke and my mom going to tell me about some of the comments she read. I got a beautiful mom. My mom loved me to death. I'm so proud that my mom is able to read all the hateful comments and keep a smile on her face and know her son can handle it, because, mom, you raised a strong young man, very strong, strong enough to take all kind of punishment and not deliver it back Because I ain't a bully. I'm going to tell you straightforward whatever it is and then, hey, after that I let the chips fall where they fall.
Speaker 1:But to get up and I don't edit, ain't no redos I get my ass up, I kick record and whatever I say, I push it out to the atmosphere. You know why? Because we don't bite tongues in our family. If it's in me, it needs to come out me and so shout out to y'all a community that makes me feel comfortable. That y'all understand this is not something most people could do, do you? You understand getting up Monday through Friday and giving your opinion on all these controversial cases for two hours a day, monday through Friday, forever, with a million people tuning into my content every day, that's a million people with opinions about what they think I should say and shouldn't say and what I should do, and even some of the ones in my and I don't like it army. They worry. They say, hey, flo, don't burn yourself out. And I tell them I appreciate that, but I would. I would never burn myself out. I love what I do and it's not burning to me. This is what I love to do. So I always want to shout them out. And while I'm shouting those people out, let's thank the subscribers.
Speaker 1:The people that make this thing go. The people that say, flo, I got your back, keep doing what you do. I know it ain't easy. You got people that leave a comment on social media and one person say something they going crazy. I get a thousand comments on social media. And one person say something they going crazy. I get a thousand comments. And it don't affect me.
Speaker 1:I'm always worried about my mama and what she got to say, and so when my mom is able to see the hateful comments or see everybody thinking they can, you know, judge me and tell me what I should do, what I shouldn't do, how I should handle that, it more hurts me, because the people around me that know me every day, know my heart and know that I'm the type to go through hell and not even punish the person who took me through that hell. When they see me do that, they are the ones hurt by it and that is what gets to me. I can take it. I can take it, I'm built for it. They say why? They say flow. Well, they don't even call me flow. They say book. It's stuff that they want me to speak on. I will never speak on. That's not my style. They say book, why?
Speaker 1:Let your people know that you're good? You got family. You got people that love you. You got people you talk to every day for three, four decades that been having your back, that love you to death. That got your back. Let them know that.
Speaker 1:And so I'm letting y'all know that I want everybody to help everybody. I want help to people who need it. I got a family. I got a great family structure. I got a lot of people that talk to me, that know me, know my son, know my heart, know they're going to tell me what I need to do. I got people that know me who do that, and that's a blessing.
Speaker 1:So I appreciate the help, I appreciate the concern, but sometimes I want to tell people go to the people who need it, I'm fine. I want to tell people, go to the people who need it, I'm fine. I want the people who need to help I need. I want people who need the advice. I want them to get the help. God bless me with a beautiful family, who who got my back since the beginning, and that's who I talk to if I'm worried or concerned about something.
Speaker 1:I'm talking to my mom. I'm talking to my boy Darnell. I'm talking to my boy Justin. I'm talking to my best friend. I'm talking to my my, my longtime friend, cash, and so we're gonna thank these subscribers, but it's just we getting to the point. It's getting a little emotional to me, for me, because we're getting to the point where we're actually at the trial, and when we all came, it seemed like this trial wasn't going to never fucking start.
Speaker 1:But here we are, and so let me thank the subscribers. Like I said, I'm so appreciative. This is why I take the time to thank every subscriber and every shopper that I can. Y'all don't know. Y'all mean the world to me. Y'all have become my family outside of my family, and and I don't take any of that for granted.

Y'all are the reason I love that we can come here and do what we do.
Speaker 1:But back to the Diddy Trial. That's what we all here for, this is what we come together for, and this trial is going to be one for the ages. If you know how many ups and downs we had during getting to the trial, can you imagine how many ups and downs and roller coasters we are about to ride. As we get into this trial, diddy is assembling lawyers like the Avengers. Will it work? Brian Steele, he goes so hard. If I'm not mistaken, if you remember, brian Steele went to went to jail for his during the trial. I don't know, it was kind of weird, but he went so hard for Young Thug, I think the judge locked his ass up for a weekend. Brian Steele is very aggressive. Did he has him now. Brian still is very aggressive, diddy has him now.
Speaker 1:It's almost like the drugs and everything, all the party life and everything wore off and it's like Diddy woke up and he said I ain't got a shot. I don't have a snowball's chance in a sauna with this team. Prep is unbelievable. Prep is unbelievable. This is just the preparation for this trial. It's just going to be the trial of the century, y'all. So all I can say is y'all know, y'all been watching, y'all been with me on this trial forever. All the beautiful people I give y'all content every day. I'm in y'all face every day, even on the weekends, if I get you through the podcast, or I'm dropping some new content on my instagram, on my facebook. I try to give y'all some new content every day. I've been like that for the last two and a half, two and a half almost. I guess it'll be three years soon. I know it's two and a half years and I will continue. Continue to do that.
Speaker 1:Now, when you think about the OJ trial, like I said, we didn't see the race car coming at all until the trial. It shocked us all. They broke down Mark Furman, they broke. They said he planted evidence. Everybody in the world thought OJ was going to prison for life and then the trial started and OJ was found innocent, shocked the world.
Speaker 1:I'm saying that to say there's people in my comments like it's so much evidence on Diddy, he ain't going, I mean he going down and he don't have a chance. And I'm like that sounds good and I'm glad that you know you want justice for the victims and I'm glad you're confident. But let's not be overconfident. Let's focus, everybody focus and do their job. But I'm just not going to ever be overconfident, especially when I see what I see in front of me. This is something that we all going to have to watch very closely. This is I've never seen nobody change their legal team and bolster it up this much at the last second.
Speaker 1:Diddy could have did this at any time, but I think Mark Garagos because you know his daughter, tinny Garagos, is on the team I think Mark Garagos called his daughter and said, hey, y'all need a little help and things have been different ever since. Yep, and that, patricia, you made a good point. They used the race card on OJ because every he was losing and they had to do something. And that's why and that's my whole point about these trials are unpredictable. My whole point of what I was leading to saying to people who are overconfident, talking about all the evidence.
Speaker 1:I just want you to be clear that it's not only about the evidence. The evidence Is what that we see is what we see. And then we look at the evidence and we say did he guilty or did he innocent? That's us sitting at home, but in the actual trial it's about who performs better. Does the prosecution hold it down and continue to cook and continue to cook, or does the defense? Will they cook and get Diddy off?
Speaker 1:Sadly, evidence plays a role, but it's not the only role. If the prosecution don't perform and do their job every day of that trial, they could lose, and if the defense plays around and don't do their job every day of this trial, diddy gonna rot, or we could have a scenario where they both cooking and they both stalemate and now we're just waiting for the jury. We don't know who did the defense, did they thing that prosecution did they thing? And now we sitting waiting on the jury, which is why I told you the most important part of a case is jury selection. I told y'all that months ago. You see how much focus is being put on the jury selection.
Speaker 1:Now. A lot of gamesmanship. We didn't even see gamesmanship before, if you think about it. We didn't see any gamesmanship from diddy's legal team. They were fumbling over baby oil and dildos, talking about they got baby oil from Costco. Costco coming out talking about man, we don't sell no damn baby oil. They couldn't even mention it. Diddy and his legal team couldn't even mention the baby oil, no more. What type of horrible defense are you doing? You don't even know what you have and who sells what.
Speaker 1:Well that that dumpster fire is over and with Diddy inserting Garagos and with Diddy inserting Brian Steele and possibly another black female attorney who knows he might feel like Brian Steele and possibly another black female attorney who knows he might feel like Brian Steele is enough. We will see. But now we got what me and my dad used to always call the humdinger, and in our version of humdinger, a humdinger is when you just don't know exactly what the hell is going to happen. It's just even in your mind. So, y'all, I'm officially letting y'all know this is a trial now and you know, I'm always going to tell y'all exactly what I'm reading from the tea leaves. I'm always going to tell y'all exactly what I'm reading from the tea leaves. Up until last week, I was reading that Diddy had the worst legal team, or his legal team was doing a terrible job.
Speaker 1:Well, garagos has changed all that y'all and I'm going to need y'all to tune in. I'm going to need y'all to pay attention. I'm going to need y'all to tune in. I'm going to need y'all to pay attention. I'm going to need everybody focused. This is probably the single most important, biggest, nastiest, egregious trial we've ever had. But of all that nastiness and all that ugliness, I just feel good to know I have a solid community behind me To go through this shit with. Much love to everybody. Flo show no filter Trial, just heated up. Who knows what's gonna happen next? But one thing we do know, is your boy Flo gonna cover it and break it? The fuck down. Love y'all. Bye, as always. I love y'all, but I'm out. Boom, boom, boom.
