okay um let's get to this Diddy [ __ ] right all right people so Diddy got sued by uh wow this is let me pull it up let me pull it up no don't tell me I didn't [ __ ] oh my God I'm be tight no where is it God God damn all right give me one second I'm I'm pulling up this Diddy lawsuit we're GNA read it Dawn Richards actually put this out she's accusing this is a new lawsuit by the way this is probably like over 15 I think between 10 and 15 lawsuits that uh DD's is facing yeah here we go I'm GNA find it I'm find find it yep I got it right here I got it right here okay just give me one second no not that it's this got it okay my bad Chad yeah I thought I saved it so I had to like pull it I had to like pull it from the website again okay here we go all right so Dawn Richards Don Richard of day uh not Day 26 Danity Kane if you don't know Danny Kane was a female R&B group that uh Diddy signed I can't remember what year but she he signed all these beautiful women right um the lead singer or the supposed lead was aurio day I believe she is the woman in blonde right here uh he also signed day26 and this was after he did Making the Band right and he initially signed originally the band uh orri day has been speaking out openly because before this whole like Whirlwind started with with Sean Colmes she said she was offended she said that Diddy essentially offered her the publishing back from the group that he didn't give them initially basically if they signed the NDA um according to her her calculations the publishing at this point since they haven't put out music in such a long time they're not that much of a historic group the music is kind of just withered and died and they didn't come out even in the streaming era apparently their music is probably worth a couple thousand dollars at best per year in terms of publishing royalties right so she wouldn't be getting that much money but I guess it would be a check and I guess Diddy you know when he came out on The Breakfast Club and say yo I'm feeling like brother love now and everybody gets their publishing back I'm I just want to do something for the artists like we all remember this did he publishing Breakfast Club he basically spoke really quickly he's this is why when I had went and called out the Grammys I also had to make sure that I had a look from within once you start asking for change in this world you have to look within and be a part of that change it was more of me evolving as a businessman a person that really wants change in the world and progress most importantly and it was the right thing to do if it wasn't for these people that have helped me with all of these records if there's anything like that just doing the right thing that's just the frequency we should all be in I want reform in all anytime [ __ ] start talking about frequency vibration like [ __ ] unless unless that [ __ ] is his program in a dildo or some type of radio [ __ ] what the [ __ ] is a [ __ ] just saying frequency vibration that usually means they're using word salad for [ __ ] I don't want to tell you the real truth okay so this is what he remember changed his name to brother love and then he comes on he says yo I oh the reason why I'm giving back everybody they publish I was calling out somebody else and I realized I can't be a hypocrite so I say you know what let me give it back when in the history of life has anyone when calling somebody out of some [ __ ] then realize that they're guilty of the same [ __ ] and corrected their own wrongs without people aggressively calling them out Diddy would be the first right Industries if I got to ask Corporate America to change their ways then I have to be accountable for myself and so that was done two years ago two years ago you keep in mind that's the same Diddy that was arguing with the locks um where jiss threatened him that he would drop a refrigerator on his head because listen understand don't say Jay you bugging or it's worth really killing like yeah this he wanted to kill Diddy over his publishing first and foremost reporting your John Hancock on the paper but then like after a few years and after 10 years and 12 years and you become have kids and have a you know a life ahead of you nobody never took nothing from me like it's hard for me to it's hard for me to look at ddy it's hard for me to it's hard to go like to be phony about it and pull him out on stage at the hover concert and do the Benjamin and it's hard like it's not have you talked to him about millions of dollar this is a this is my life it's worth dying it's worth killing over like Ser I don't say Jada you bugging or it's worth really killing like sit down think about it pull it all on the table it's really worth doing it over like some things ain't worth it that's one of the things that's worth it so I me personally I can't sleep sometimes like I I lose sleep like I be ready to just black out like how long have you been have you have you had the conversations with puff about trying to buy buy a back he's so much of a gangster with the paperwork he tell you one thing all right then tell his lawyer or people that rep okay then did he get all on the line I see you at the yeah then Diddy gets on the line basically say why y doing all this on this interview with her talk as long as yall want to talk about it or you can take the invitation I gave you before but it's not even getting there because of your your get on the radio whatever tactics I ain't your enemy dog we just en you need to bang like that on that's coming out you I ain't just yesterday we got just yesterday we got a note from your office saying you don't have no idea yeah did he slick you say you need to kill somebody that talks about killing you none of this or none of nothing just yesterday told the St I see you at the whole at the show backstage you said find out what it was I let me don't don't sit here and portray like puff took nothing from y'all what is it what is it what do you call it what are you calling and don't say we can come to your office or do none of that cuz we can't do none of that we can't handle it no other way but with lawyers and you know that so don't get on the radio and act like a tough guy or n of that wait wait you know how we can settle it AC in my office so why don't we stop talking on the radio now you want people to stop talking cuz you just don't want to know the truth dog we made one record with you Money Power Respect is 10 years later and you still got half of our publishing now there's no way you can make it justifiable that you you desert half of our say nothing to my face we just have the concert you ain't saying nothing what are we going to do say it your what do you want us to do we can't touch we it's not we can't be violent or none of that can't even this dog two years ago in Miami recognize real yall know what the office is that there's a big sign on it I'm going in this I'm a grown ass man man you're coward I don't take you're a thief coward don't say you're you're a thief okay come to the office man come to the office so we can straighten it out there yo how we we just three guys you don't even mess with you had your call me whatever you let his the office that's big they talking about argue in front of New York that's the way you want do you your man's y'all man do you own your man New York could believe it or whatever I don't do you own your man I can sleep good at night cuz I ain't never SE n of y'all and if y'all ever you had a whole bunch of artists that dog you had a bunch of artists who careers never went right with you dog for real want to be artist for yourself look at your list dog look at all the artist you dealt with look at this anyway there's a part where where J K say I will drop a refrigerator jiss refrigerator yo he said I would drop a refrigerator on your head I forgot damn I just want to only play that part I said if anything don't come right there see at the the you're a thief your you with we let y'all go we keep it moving but to get on there and portray like somebody got to go and steal and Rob and be shy and y'all that ain't really correct you know what I'm saying and first of all I'm I'm at my office right now I'm always all anyway anyway I just wanted to hear that line I can't find it though he said [ __ ] he said I would drop a refrigerator on your head anyway uh so y'all get the deal that that's been you know in Diddy's defense even though this is not much of a defense back in the day the record industry was so predatory this is why like all the old rappers no disrespect them they're broke like they're all broke because they were being taken advantage of like severely like right now like name a rapper who fell off like like like you see I don't want to use that but like if a rapper is on now and he win platinum and like he maybe had one gold album afterwards or maybe two Gold album bro these days they're going to be good bro like they're going to be good like even if they fell off because just nowadays Artists Own more of everything right some labels still take some of the publishing but they won't take all the publishing back then artists didn't know what publishing was so they took all of it so so the labels took all of it and would like for example like with biggie they would be like yo here's $200,000 you're like oh my God $200,000 and they own your publishing for the rest of your life right that's like a $200,000 upfront fee while they're going to get money like Biggie's publishing these days probably at least still give half a million a year right so if you sold your publishing for one $200,000 check every year for forever your your publishing is bringing in at least half a million dollars I would probably think maybe close to a million or maybe more because big but still forever a nigga's ain't that a great investment you give a [ __ ] $200,000 once and for the rest of time you will you'll collect a $1 million every year that sounds like a really good deal ain't it so people got hip to it people got smart to it Danny Kane you know obviously their career didn't go as maybe as they planned and they're probably a little bit resentful to that but like AUB Oz called out a lot of this stuff it's just like yo like I play some what she said like she was been talking about this uh hold on uh I think these right here tells those stories head boy artists any comment um yeah I'll talk about this four is yours so this one has been Bittersweet for me because I'm as I've gotten older I've let go of a lot of the trauma and I've learned to really appreciate some of the more personal Beautiful Moments I've had with him and he is the first person that gave me a platform to to show my talent to the world um you know and I was at 17 I'm 39 now so I have a hard time I have a hard time talking about him before it was no good now I'm feeling I feel loving moments for moments that we had together but this Banner that he's painted himself with all weekend long this has been the Labor Day talk in my world that he's paying back all of the bad boy artists um I just want to throw you the facts okay sure the deal that we were offered and when I say we not every artist got it like Day 26 did not get it but um this is what it is you can have your rights back um to your music after puff went under and somebody else bought our catalog so this is long after we have two double platinum albums $415 an album from 2 million albums is what is the math on that 48 million yeah something like that I'm no math petition but so so $48 million somebody made on me yeah I did not make anything when I said I did Christine agilera for free I didn't do Christine agilera for free but the record label recouped it all we were in debt at the end of that tour yeah it's pretty crazy so so I worked for free for the first six seven years of my career basically and also MTV was not paying us and this is another part that I have that I feel some kind of way about because MTV since then in these these recent years has brought back every big cult show meaning it had millions of followers and it was at least six seasons right Making the Band is one of those they brought back real world they brought back Jersey Shore they brought back lagona Beach Making the Band is the only one that they did not bring back and making the band is the only cult MTV show that made that Network one of them I I heard that's all Diddy's doing Diddy had some deal with them and yeah so we've never seen any of the making the bands back again Diddy doing his normal [ __ ] anyway um pretty much Diddy offered the the women of day uh not Day 26 I mean um that's a male group Danny Kane you get your publishing back got to sign in s she's going to speak about how it how much money would be wrongdoings or action the this was the NDA she's talking about now mounts due since Sony bought our catalog okay so streaming for the past couple years it's about $800 $900 some in the hundreds okay and in order to get that I have to release him for any claims or wrongdoings or actions prior to the date of the release I have to sign in NDA that I will never disparage puff bad boy Janice Colmes or Justin comes music or Emi or Sony ever in public so that you just got recently for this thing I got it a few months ago when he started doing this news now so what's happening is artists some of them not all of them are being given streaming royalties and ownership back over our publishing on songs that we wrote um at a time when you know that you have to stream a song a million times to make point a cent yeah okay it it's hundreds of dollars and me as somebody that's a girl's girl I hit everyone in my group and said absolutely do not take this deal I can get us a show on Hulu right now and talking about boy bands and girl G because you have to realize there's a handful two handfuls at most of boy and girl bands that had it platinum albums two platinum albums that were that and that will never happen again and most people that have had to go through those types of things like the real ways the Kardashians got to where they got Ray J tried exposing a lot of that life and and entered an industry where somebody made what $ 48 million million and we didn't even see a penny of that and we were in thongs and 5 in heels for years of Our Lives on stage now I'm gonna be honest with you I don't got a problem with that lowkey hey that's how the music business been man these rappers been parading around with jewelry cars rented cars they get gifts and trinkets from their CEOs you know Drake flying around on a jumbo jet have you ever figured out what what Lucian green drive around in or fly running you don't know uh the people who are making the money the real money at Universal they would laugh at that little jet that Drake keep driving it just is what it is you know what I mean like this industry is kind of it's a fixed game that always fixes the game that if you want to be a big artist you can't be independent or it's going to be so hard that if the success rate is 0.5% to be assigned artist the success rate to be independent is going to be 0.005 so because they control the whole Market they control the streaming services all the platforms that pull it that push the music yeah they kind of control the whole thing and and you know you ever heard the saying one monkey don't stop a show yeah this is the only way to to Cloud up or do your thing in the music business you got to you can't be a one hit wonder you can't be in with one album and then go out you got to gain some leverage Drake got leverage Kendrick got leverage at this point jcole got leverage right like it took a while for Jay-Z to get leverage so those are the only times you get to get the leverage to to try to change the favor of what the contract is yes they signed you girls no disrespect you're beautiful women but they signed y from nothing yes they make 48 million and y'all make 5 million that's I'm sorry that's kind of how it goes now it sounds good like oh they're making 48 million profit they probably spent 10 to 15 million on promoting y'all producing y'all developing y'all so then there's only really then then y'all get paid say 5 million so really they get 20 if that plus other cost you know I mean they probably end up with $10 million and I'm just telling you how unfortunately the music business Works yes if they did profit from y'all it's to make up from the 20 other losses because they signed 20 other losers that's just kind of how the game works um um you know obviously I do have some sympathy though because they come from a time where this isn't the a internet error where you could get a buzz like if somebody gets popping on Tik Tok yo artist that's popping on Tik Tok or if you go viral on Instagram or you you pop off on YouTube organically when you go to these these these labels these Labels want to give you everything I'm talking to my boy ot7 kwani recently boy popped off going crazy right they're trying to sign him feel me like they're trying to sign him I guess in either one of his songs or something like that he always say yo I wanted a mayback bro they're trying to sign him they buy him the mayback like the may this Bor hey here's your mayback take it please sign it to us why you got leverage it is what it is it's just business right um so again you know I do feel bad for her but it is just what it is like bro the music business is pre is kind of pred predatory but like it's predatory with the um with the understanding that the success rate is pretty low okay now let's get to Dawn Richard and her filing so so so essentially I played the arbo Oro day talking about it saying Diddy basically offered what would be worth a couple hundred bucks a year for them to sign an NDA that they could never talk [ __ ] about him and also sue him they turn it down Diddy goes into a whole Whirlwind of problems and by the way I think that all of them are going to file lawsuits but the first one who's filing lawsuits or who did file lawsuit is uh the person known as um Dawn Richards and where is her lawsuit here's lawsuit so the lawsuit says Dawn Angelique Richards Su Shan Colmes har Pierre and like 30 other places okay um basically here's what it is it says um the um I'm gonna get to the juicy part of it basically says in 1998 uh comes explained the origins of the stage name that puff was basically because he had a temper it was known to huff and puff because he was angry okay um they're basically saying that Diddy was was an angry guy was abusive sexually harassed them and to the point that it may constitute as assault um they're say Mr Colmes regularly hurled objects in fits of Rage often throwing items like mobile phones laptops food studio equipment across a rumor at people on numerous occasions Miss Richards witnessed Mr Colmes brutely beat his girlfriend so they're Piggyback in which many civil cases do piggyback on stuff they've seen in the media bruy be's girlfriend Miss Cassie V his persistent abuse included choking and strangling Miss Ventura striking her with his hands by the way isn't it ironic that before you know a lot of people doubted Cassie before that video came out of clearly did he abusing Cassie why did Dawn Richards not come out then and say Hey I want to speak up for Cassie because I'm an advocate for victims and I want to speak out against domestic abuse she didn't speak out publicly you know what she did wait till that video came out wait till Cassie got her money and now she's just basically now saying oh yeah yeah I seen that happen so you know a lot lot of times remember this is a civil suit yeah this is a money money money hunting process right we got to remember that okay how many occasions Miss Miss Richardson or Miss Richards try to intervene offering Cassie's support and encouragement to leave him each time Mr Colmes learned of her efforts became enraged and threatened her life with statements as you want to die today I make NS go Miss and I end people compounding um his violence acts and threats he flagrantly exploited her musical Talent as a singer while withholding her rights earning stealing copyrighted works and subjecting her to years of inhumane work conditions which included groping assault Falls imprisonment among other violations for nearly a decade he manipulated her with mantras that submission to his depraved demands was necessary for career advancement istill in her that belief that such abuse and exploitation were required for female artists to succeed in Industry it wasn't until Cassie bravely came forward she realized her personal suffering okay was tied to many years of abuse by Colmes that became normalized for her as more women courage courageously came forward um Dawn Richardson or Dorne Richards actually has been empowered by the Collective Strength and now adds her voice a growing course of victims bravely sharing their horren stories today or together they see Justice stand in solidarity as the latest victims of the me too move oh my God they even put this in the intro wow goes to parties and then let's get to some of the Sala [ __ ] factual allegations is how they met let's go past this this is about you know what the album sold they say she's owed like a million dollars of unpaid salary um and she's owed 500,000 in royalties a damages on unpaid wages for Torin are estimated to be $1.8 million he fired uh auo day uh D woods from Danny Kane live on television in 2008 which is why Danny Kane got dis disbanded in 2009 and then now here's where the allegations is going to come in keep in mind I want to preface this with this is a civil suit and all of these allegations should be taken as such give me a second oh my God no
