[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Check 1-2, test 1-2, the cross-examination, test.
[00:00:08] Speaker 2: Tell me about what you did today so far just to get it.
[00:00:13] Speaker 1: Well, I woke up, I was waiting on you, and I was paying some bills and got all that out of the way and just waiting on you to get here, and now we're going to get this thing going, man, get it started. Don't never stop. That's it. Yo, Brian, what's up, man? Come on in, man. What's up? Come on in, man. Good morning, good morning. Where we at? We're at my crib, man. We're at my crib. This is where I make it happen. This is where I started to cover the Puffy Trial. This is my crib. Me and my son live here. He's asleep. I'm up. Here's all my paperwork from the Puffy Trial, all of the notes. But I'm going to make some coffee, Brian. You want some coffee, man? Yeah. All right, come on. There's my cat. There's Luna right there. She's chilling. So I wanted to document my coverage of the Puffy Trial. Actually, a few people came down to the trial, man, and wanted to shoot a doc with me about my coverage of the Puffy Trial. And then I was going to do it, but then I decided not to, because I really wanted to get... So I was covering the Puffy Trial. I was going down there every day and to the courtroom. I was in the 24th floor in the overflow, and I just started covering the trial, man. And it just grew into something. It just grew into something as far as my role in the trial and covering it on my YouTube channel. So a couple of people had reached out to me. They actually had came down to the courtroom to ask me to do a documentary on my coverage of the trial. And I was going to do it, but then I was like, "I really need to get Puffy's permission first, before I do it." So I winded up not doing it, but now that it's over, man, and I'm glad he was acquitted, you know, of the most serious charges, I said, "Well, you know what? Let me do my thing." Because it really was a moment in time, man. It really was a moment in time, that trial. It was, you know, it was, it was historic, man. You know what I'm saying? Because you're talking about the biggest, the most high-profile trial. Look at my old school, I got the old school steam joint. The one that goes "Sweet!" You want a cup, Ryan, or you good? I'll have some, yeah. Okay.
[00:03:59] Speaker 2: What, um... I guess, yeah, what, uh, what drew you to it? Why, uh...
[00:04:07] Speaker 1: Well, what made me, what made me go down to the trial is I wanted the YouTube views. I wanted the YouTube views. You know what I'm saying? And, uh, my channel was basically geared around calisthenics and positive self-talk, positive thinking, you know. And I had been covering the Big Meach trial, and I had got some good action on that, so I said, "Well, I'm definitely gonna cover the Puffy trial." And, um, I'm looking down at this, the camera right there.
[00:04:49] Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Either way.
[00:04:51] Speaker 1: Um, and when I went down for one day of the jury selection and checked it out, then I didn't go back to finish the jury selection. But then when Cassie got on the stand, I went back down there, and then I just never stopped. And, um, I actually, to tell you, to tell you the truth, I went down there to hear the bullshit. I went down there to hear, um, all of the nonsense of what they said about Puff over the last five to ten years, man. And, you know, that he was gay, that he messed around with kids, and, you know, I went to hear all that because I was gonna report that on my channel. And make money off of that. That's a true story. And I went down there every day, didn't miss a date, and none of that shit came out. None of that came out. And what ended up happening, man, what I saw was... Um, it's just a bunch of lies, man. Just a bunch of lies. That's better?
[00:06:16] Speaker 2: Uh, yeah. Okay, just a bunch of lies.
[00:06:23] Speaker 1: That's all I saw was, that's all I heard. Now, I'm, I'm in the courtroom, and we're gonna go down there today. We're gonna get in the car, we're gonna ride over there, we're gonna do the whole thing. I went, and I was in the courtroom, so I heard the, the actual testimony. I saw the witnesses on the stand. I heard the witness. This was all in real time. Now, there was two courtrooms. Um, the main courtroom was on the 26th floor. That's where Puff was, the judges, the attorneys, the witnesses, that whole thing. And then they had, for the public, they had something that was called an overflow courtroom. Where, because in the main courtroom, they would only let the main press, uh, 14 members of the public. And you had to get out there, you had to sleep out in front of the courtroom overnight in order to be one of the first 14 in line. And, uh, I never did that. But if you went, you could go into the overflow, you know, at any point, they had the overflow. Anybody could go in there. And if they, if it was too many of you from the public, they would just open up another one, a second overflow or a third. So, but I went to the, uh, overflow on the 24th floor. And, um, I watched the whole thing, man. And this dude, this dude, Puff, man, he, it was, it was a joke, man. He, it was a joke. What they, what the evidence they had. They had no evidence, right? And, and nothing of what they said about him in social media, on YouTube, in the press, mainstream media, that had, that they had been saying about him for the last five years. None of that came out at the trial and all of the witnesses that the prosecution called got crushed, got crushed. And, um, that was it, man.
[00:08:25] Speaker 2: Why do you think, um, this trial in particular got so much, like, attention in, I guess you could say, like, uh, it did seem like influence or, like, pop, you know, like, it did seem like it got more attention than, you know, like, what, what do you think, you know, why? You know, what do you think, you know, what do you think, you know?
[00:08:50] Speaker 1: I think it was puffed. I think the fact that it was puffed and the allegations against them, man, what they were saying about them, you know, and the freak offs, of course. Obviously, the, what they were saying about these freak offs, and these celebrities that were supposedly involved, and it, none of it never came out, man. It was just a big, they destroyed him in the press, the assassin. There you go, y'all.
[00:09:30] Speaker ?: There you go, y'all.
[00:09:30] Speaker 1: Look at that right there. The old school joint. They, look at that right there, y'all. Your coffee don't be this hot, man. I got the hot, look at that steam right there. Look at how that steam come off of there. Look at that steam. What was done, man, is that they destroyed him in the press, assassinated his character in the press. And, what I expected was, okay, whatever y'all said in the mainstream media press, I'm coming down to the courtroom to hear it. And it never came out, man. It never came out, man. And, Puffy's lawyers, man, just, this nigga had the best lawyers in the world, man. His lawyers, his lawyers, they held, they, they ran the show down there. They ran the show. That show is right there, Brian. This is mine. You're talking about.
[00:11:13] Speaker 2: Where do you normally have your coffee?
[00:11:14] Speaker 1: You put it right here. You're talking about six prosecutors. Six prosecutors on the line. And then they said they had two other prosecutors in the back that were helping out. And then who knows how many people they had back at the Southern District of New York supporting the prosecutors on the line. And Puffy had, like, about, what, ten, ten lawyers at different points, eleven lawyers, nine. And they ran the show. They ran the show. They killed it. They saved his life. They saved his life.
[00:12:00] Speaker 2: And then how would you say, you know, the various, like, points of view in terms of, like, coverage. Like, what, what, what did you notice how people were covering the trial? And what was your, uh, perspective?
[00:12:16] Speaker 1: Well, when we first got down there, mainstream media was, they were all set up. All of the big news stations, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Law and Order, all of that, Court TV. And the way they were covering the trial was anti-Puff, anti-Puff, anti-Puff, irrespective of what evidence was coming out or yet to come out in the trial or what was coming out during the trial. But one, one thing that was real, and I don't think this has ever happened before. Well, I don't know, because this was the first trial I ever covered the way that I covered it was, um, social media. There, there must have been about 30 YouTubers, TikTokers, Instagramers, Facebookers covering the trial right along with mainstream media. And we, because I was covering it on YouTube, we took over the coverage of the trial. People wasn't even listening to what mainstream media was saying. You had people like myself who were covering the trial, others, and some of the YouTubers, TikTokers, and Instagramers didn't even come in the courtroom. They would stay downstairs and go live the whole day waiting for the other social media dudes to come down and let them know what was going on in the courtroom or they were reading the transcripts from, uh, inner city press. Crazy. Crazy, but yo, I'm finna jump in the shower and get dressed and then we're gonna ride over to the city. We're gonna go to Manhattan and let me show you my whole routine. So, I will wake up in the morning, right here in this kitchen, have my coffee, like I'm doing, I'mma jump in the shower, I'mma get dressed, and then we're gonna dip over to the city. Peace. Adam?
[00:14:37] Speaker 2: Yeah, this is cool.
[00:14:39] Speaker 1: You can just hear, you didn't have this cap. No, Luna, Luna was, uh, we got her, she's two years old.

[00:19:07] Speaker 1: Alright, Brian. We good? Let me see what I'm gonna wear. So this is what I would do every morning, man. I did this for eight weeks. Every day. Every day. I may have missed. I think I might have missed. Four days of the trial. I had went down to Tampa to shoot a podcast about the trial. And what was some other days I missed? I think that was it. But even while I was down there, I still covered it. Even while I was down there, I still covered it. Gotta put the deodorant on. Cause you gotta smell good when you get in the courtroom. You understand? You can't be sitting next to them fly, honey reporters. Yo, some fly reporters from all over the world. Man, I was stepping to them too. And, uh, so this is where my day would start, man. This is where my day would start. Then I would come right here. Then I would come right here. And get a suit. Let me get a suit. So I would come right here. I would come right here. My suit wasn't here. But this is where I keep all of my stuff. I got a small apartment, y'all. So everything we on is in here. So I would come right here. Get me a fly suit. I think I'm gonna put on the Brooks Brothers joint today. And I did this every morning, y'all. I did this every... I did this every morning.
[00:20:48] Speaker 2: You said for how many mornings?
[00:20:50] Speaker 1: For eight weeks straight. For eight weeks straight. Sean in there asleep now. Sean, my son is in there asleep. He... He... He would... He would be... I would wake him up. Make him some breakfast. I would wake him up. Make him some breakfast. And then, um... I would get ready... To... Go to... Y'all, hold on. Give me some time with the mic. Okay. Alright, alright. Ready? Yep. So... Let me go put my sneakers on. So... When I first started... When I first started going over to the trial. I used to wear... I used to wear my dope Johnstone Murphy joints. But... As you're gonna see... I was doing a lot of walking. I was doing a lot of walking. Cause I would drive from here to Jersey City. Parking my car. Get on the PATH train. Going to Manhattan. And... I was doing that. I did that every day for like a week. And my feet was killing me. So I said... Yo, I'm just gonna put on some black sneakers. So... I'm just gonna put on my black New Balance. Shout out to New Balance. Y'all need to call me. Give me a deal. Cause I'm promoting your brand on my show. This is gonna be the best documentary ever, man. So... Like I say... I did this every morning, man. Like... Not knowing... That... What I was covering... And I'm not a journalist. I'm just a regular... I'm just a YouTuber, man. I'm just a YouTuber, man. So I got my... I got my motherfucking lotion and shit. So I would always come get a little lotion. You know a nigga gotta have a lotion. It can't be ashy going over there to the court. I put the lotion on. Right? Then I got my um... Coconut oil. Coconut oil for my bald head. This from my man. My man RH sent me this out of Canada. It's that real shit right here. So... What I did... What I prided myself on... What I prided myself on was that... I was gonna look the best. I'm not a journalist, right? But... And this was my first time ever doing anything like this. Covering... Any kind of trial. But I said... I'm gonna look the best. When I go over there. I'm gonna do the best job. I'm gonna be better than everybody... Over there. That was what... That was what I... Told myself... That I was gonna do. And so every morning... Other reporters... Even... Even reporters... Even beat reporters... For like the major channels... Reuters... Associated Press was there... The BBC from London... Everybody was there. Some of them would come with just pants... And a t-shirt... You know what I'm saying? I went over there everyday... I went over there... Looking like something... You understand? Because... I just wanted to stand out. I wanted to be the best. And I was gonna do the best coverage... Better than everybody out there. That was what I was... That was my mentality... When I went out there.
[00:24:42] Speaker ?: And I guess like...
[00:24:43] Speaker 2: I don't... You know... Mean this like in a bad way... But like... What makes you... Qualified... Or like... Does it not matter these days? You know? Like... There's new... Traditional news... Outlets... Versus just like... Independent... You know... People...
[00:25:02] Speaker 1: That's a great question... I'm not qualified... I didn't... Listen... I didn't go to journalism school... I didn't... I don't know... This... I'm not a journalist... I'm just a YouTuber... But... What... I... I could fold... I could button this up over the... Over the thing...
[00:25:23] Speaker ?: Um...
[00:25:25] Speaker 1: What I was... What... As the trial went on... And we're gonna get into this... They were lying... The witnesses were lying... The prosecution was lying... And... Therefore... The mainstream media was lying... They were repeating... Regurgitating... The same lies... That... The... Prosecution... And the witnesses were lying... In the courtroom... And... I said to myself... I said... The more they lie... The more ethical... I'm gonna be... The more they lie... The more I'm gonna tell the truth... The more unethical they are... The more ethical I'm gonna be... Whatever they are... I'm gonna counter it... But on the truth tip... And that's what I did... And... And like... That was my qualification...
[00:26:31] Speaker ?: That was...
[00:26:32] Speaker 1: That was my qualification...
[00:26:34] Speaker ?: I said...
[00:26:34] Speaker 1: Sean... Just... Just... Just... When you turn your camera on... Just tell... Exactly... What... Happened... In... The courtroom... Because...
[00:26:47] Speaker ?: We would be in the courtroom...
[00:26:49] Speaker 1: And... The prosecution... Would give their direct examination... And then the...
[00:26:54] Speaker ?: The...
[00:26:54] Speaker 1: Puffy's lawyers... Would do the cross examination... And when we would come out... You would look at the news later on that day...
[00:27:01] Speaker ?: They would...
[00:27:02] Speaker 1: The news would only cover... What the prosecution said... Not that the witnesses got their brains blown out... On the stand... Busted in lies... Committing perjury... They never reported that part... And then that was what... I decided... And I mandated from myself... And I told myself... This is the standard... That... You're gonna... Put... On your channel... Because... Integrity... Never went out of style... Integrity... Never went out of style... And that's what I did, man... And that's what I did... And that made... That made all the difference in the world... Because what was crazy... I gotta get my cufflinks on... What was crazy... When I started that trial... I got the dope cufflinks... When I started that trial... I had a hundred... And thirty... Thousand... Subscribers on my YouTube channel... By the time that trial was over... Come on out of there... By the time that trial was over... I had a hundred and eighty-four thousand... So...
[00:28:21] Speaker ?: I gained... Fifty...
[00:28:23] Speaker 1: Thousand... Subscribers... During that trial... And a lot of them... Were women, man... A lot of them were women... And a lot of women was against Puff, man...
[00:28:37] Speaker ?: Black women...
[00:28:39] Speaker 1: White women...
[00:28:40] Speaker ?: Latino...
[00:28:41] Speaker 1: Women in general, man... And...
[00:28:45] Speaker ?: You know...
[00:28:47] Speaker 1: I had to... I had to... When I started my channel... When I started covering it... I had to... God damn... Qualify... To the women... And let them know... That... Let me see which cologne I'm gonna put on... I got the dope... What is this? You used St. Laurent... Put on a nice one... 'Cause nigga gotta smell like something, man... You gotta look good, man... When you're doing shit... You gotta make sure you look like something, man... Understand? 'Cause you never know who you might meet... In these streets... In the New York City streets... You never know who you might run into... So I had to let the women know...
[00:29:33] Speaker ?: That...
[00:29:36] Speaker 1: Right? I watched my mother be a victim... Of... Domestic violence, right? And that... I wasn't insensitive... Because... What everybody saw about Puff... Was the... Him... Whooping Cassie's ass... By that elevator... And that... People didn't like that...
[00:30:03] Speaker ?: Right?
[00:30:05] Speaker 1: People... Especially the women... That part... They couldn't... Nobody could reconcile that... And really... That's what... Really... At the end of the day... That's what he was on trial for... That 13 second... Clip... That they looped... And over...
[00:30:29] Speaker ?: And over...
[00:30:29] Speaker 1: And over...
[00:30:30] Speaker ?: And over... And over...
[00:30:31] Speaker 1: And over... And... They used... That 13 second clip... To try to justify... To the world... And to... Well they did it to the world... Because... The mainstream media... And the prosecution... Were very successful... At... Influencing the public opinion... That... Look at him... Whooping Cassie's ass... For 13 seconds... So if he did that... He did everything... Whatever we tell you... He... Stole a... A bag of... Cheetos... From the store... He did it... Because... Look at what he did there... Puffy cut school... And... Skipped detention... He did it... Because he beat her up... In front of the elevator... Uh... Puffy didn't pay... Uh... For his gas at the gas station... He did it... Because look at what he did... That was their whole... That was their whole... Case... That was their whole... Case... That was their whole... Case... And... But they never tell you the part... They never tell you the part... Hold up... Let me get some coffee... My coffee... Better than your coffee... Man... You can never ever... In your life... Make coffee as good as me... I'm the best coffee maker ever... They never tell you the part... About... About... Why... Puffy... Whooped her ass... In front of that elevator... But it came out... In the trial... Was that... She stole his cell phone... She stole his cell phone... And they used to do that... To each other... Puffy would steal her cell phone... Call all the niggas... That she was dealing with... Behind his back... You know... Threaten them... And... He used to do the same thing... Steal her phone... And she would steal his phone...
[00:32:48] Speaker ?: And...
[00:32:49] Speaker 1: Call all his women... Cassie said...
[00:32:51] Speaker ?: On the stand...
[00:32:51] Speaker 1: That puppy had about...
[00:32:52] Speaker ?: Nine... Ten...
[00:32:52] Speaker 1: Girlfriends... And she was jealous... She was insanely jealous...
[00:32:57] Speaker ?: Of...
[00:32:57] Speaker 1: Kim Porter... And this girl named... Gina... So she stole his phone... And when he came out... See how I tie my tie... Man... I tie the tie the best man... I tie my tie better than you... She took it... She took it... She stole his phone... He came out... I don't know why he... Took it to the extent he took it... But he... He... He did it pretty dirty... Which wasn't right in the exact... But like I say... I saw my mother get really beat up... I'm really a victim of domestic violence... Way more than the extent to that... But in that video... The 13 second clip... That they show over and over and over... It really was a 6 minute... And 38 second video... Where... Cassie and Puffy are sitting there talking... He throws a vase at her... And then he takes his phone... From her... He takes his phone... From her... You know... And... Can you hear the mic good, Brian? He takes his phone from her... You know... And he's dragging and what not... You know... That wasn't cool... You know... That ain't... That ain't... That ain't cool... You understand? But... There... There was a whole context... To that video... Right? The same day... The same day of the incident... In front of the elevator... After they have the altercation... At the hotel... By the elevator... Cassie jumps in an Uber...

To her movie premiere... On the same day... Now... That puts that whole incident... In context... It doesn't... It doesn't absolve Puff... Or relieve Puff... Of... Assaulting her... Because he did that... But... They got back together... The same night... And went to the movie premiere... And throughout their... Eleven year relationship... There's not one police report... Not one 911 call... Not nothing... But... The mainstream media... With the prosecution... Didn't frame it that way... They framed it... You know... They really... They did an effective job... Of demonizing him man... They did a real good job... Of turning the public opinion... Away from him... They did a real good job... Of poisoning the jury pool... They did a real good job...

[00:42:35] Speaker ?: The best notes...

[00:43:22] Speaker 2: You... You feel me?
[00:43:24] Speaker ?: Okay... Hold on... Give me one second... One second...
[00:43:29] Speaker 1: I know where my coat at... I know where my coat at... I took it by Angelo... Angelo does all of my tailoring for my clothes... Cause the collar... Was fucked up... It had to be stitched back down... Let me turn some heat on man... It's cold... It's... November... In New Jersey... Uh oh... Somebody calling...
[00:43:59] Speaker ?: That's all... It's cold... Alright I'm blowing... So...
[00:44:03] Speaker 2: It's cold in New Jersey... But it wasn't cold during the trial...
[00:44:05] Speaker ?: The trial was in May and June...
[00:44:06] Speaker 1: Of 2025... And uh... Used to be like 900 degrees outside... When I would go live... But that's where my coat at... But anyway...
[00:44:13] Speaker ?: It was still money... So I would come in...
[00:44:13] Speaker 1: Let me turn the heat on... And um... You know... I would ride... I would be riding to the courtroom... and it used to be like 900 degrees outside when I would go live. But that's where my coat at. But anyway, we steal money. So I would come in. Let me turn the heat on. And, you know, I would be riding to the courtroom, and like what I'm doing right now, thinking about, because every day after the trial, either the prosecution or Puffy's lawyers would put out a motion or, you know, the judge would issue an order or some type of ruling on an issue or a matter in the court. And I would, I really studied this case, man. I treated this like school, man. Anything that came across Pacer and Puffy's legal team put me on the mailing list, the email list for whenever they would send out motions or, you know, I was, I had access to the transcripts, you know, and I'm going to put some Vaseline on my lips, y'all. I got the dope Vaseline. You got to put the Vaseline on your lips so your lips could be soft. That you can't be kissing no honey with no chapped-ass lips, and you cutting her lips up. That ain't no good. She ain't going to let you kiss her. She ain't going to let you kiss her but one time. If you do that, you got to be able to, you want to kiss her a bunch of times. But you got to make sure your lips be soft. So I was getting all of the transcript, any type of document that went down, I had access to it, and I would come home every night, and I would read it thoroughly, thoroughly, especially stuff from Alexander Shapiro and Tenney and Mark. Mostly it was Tenney, Mark, and Alexander Shapiro. Especially Alexander Shapiro. And I would read that stuff, and I would memorize that shit. I would memorize it. And then I would report on it. I would report on it. I was going live Monday through Friday. I had to come right here and pay the toll, y'all. Check out the toll booth. Jersey, you're going to get ripped off at the Garden State Parkway toll. You're going to pay the toll your whole life, and the road's still going to be fucked up. 75. 85 cent. 85 cent for nothing. 85 cent for nothing.
[00:47:24] Speaker 2: No easy pass?
[00:47:26] Speaker 1: I don't got easy pass because I don't like that shit, man. I had it. Then I don't know, man. I don't know. I just don't have easy pass. I don't want that shit. I throw money in there. I put the change in there. But I will go live every day, Monday through Friday at the trial. I will go live when we took our lunch break around 12 noon. And then I will go live when court was adjourned around 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon. And then I will come home and study the information. I will come home and study the information of what Alexandra Shapiro wrote. Anything she wrote, Mark or Tenney. And then I will shoot more videos at home. I actually made my two biggest checks ever in my YouTube career. I've been doing YouTube eight years. And my two biggest checks came from the Puffy joint. Sure did. I think everybody did. Everybody's numbers was crazy for the Puffy trial. People built platforms. There were YouTubers that were from Texas, California, Arizona, London, Europe, Asia, everywhere. That came to this trial to record. And, you know, I'm from here. I'm in Jersey. You know what I'm saying? But I grew up in North Jersey. North Jersey is considered part of the New York City metropolitan area. So I was like, ain't nobody coming from nowhere in the world, even a motherfucker from New York or New Jersey, and be better than me covering this trial. I was going to be the best. And that I was competing. I was competing. I was competing with everybody who was going to give the best report. Because that's what it was, right? Who was going to give the best coverage? The most complete coverage? Who was going to do the best? And I made up my mind, I was going to be the best. I was going to be the best. That's what I went. I went there every day to kick ass. Other journalists, other reporters, YouTubers. Y'all not going to be better than me. I'm going to look better than you. Hey, Travis, we on the parkway. We heading into, I'm on my way into Manhattan now. All right, later. I was going to look better than everybody. I always, I was getting, I was going to the barbershop twice a week, sometimes three times a week to make sure my beard was money. I was going to sleep early, waking up early, and it was a competition to me. It was a competition to me. That's the way I looked at it. And I won. Because my man, the guy I was rooting for, Puff, he won. The nigga got acquitted. Nobody, everybody, the first week I got to the trial, every mainstream media reporter, YouTuber, TikToker, Instagrammer, was anti-Puff. All of them. And if they were anti-Puff, if they were pro-Puff, they were afraid and scared to verbally vocalize it out loud. But I was the first motherfucker. I was the first nigga. I let it be known from day one, day two. I'm fucking with Puff. They stopped speaking to me. No, nobody would speak to me. No mainstream media reporter, no YouTuber. They, it was like I stunk, like I had the plague or some shit. They wouldn't even fuck with me. But I didn't care. Because I don't, I don't need approval from people. I don't, my self-esteem already high enough, right? What you, what you think about me ain't none of my business. What you, how you feel, that shit don't impact me. And they would never, they wouldn't even speak to me, man. Tried to get me kicked out the courtroom. The mainstream media.
[00:52:49] Speaker ?: The mainstream media.
[00:52:49] Speaker 1: Them black girls. It was two or three black girls. And I'm a nigga, right? I'm foundational black American. Two or three other black reporters from CBS, NBC, and ABC tried to get me kicked out the courtroom. Along with that other fake girl on her YouTube. I ain't even going to give her no props on this. Went, told a judge, told a prosecutor that I told the girl's name. They was talking about me in court. The judge, the prosecution, and Puffy's lawyers was talking about Sean G. in court. But I never got kicked out. I never got kicked out. I never got kicked out.
[00:53:40] Speaker 2: So how did you decide, I guess, you were a pro-puff? Like, what, you know, I guess, you know, how do you balance being objective and being pro-puff?
[00:53:52] Speaker 1: Well, this is how I took my stance on being pro-puff, right? Like, a little bit before the trial. Like, me being a foundational black American man, right? And I did time in federal prison. I'm 56 years old. I've been racially profiled in this country. I've read the history of the United States. And shout out to all my white subscribers, man. And all my European, Caucasian followers and subscribers who follow me. I appreciate y'all and I love y'all for supporting me. But what I'm speaking of is in terms of the American power structure, right? Which is white male owned and dominated and they run the world. But I don't lump all white people into that class or that group because there's some white people that don't like what's going on in this country now. You understand? And they run the country. But having been racially profiled, having been discriminated against, Puffy being a foundational black American male, I'm founding. I said, man, I said, Sean. Fuck with him on that tip first. Right? But, like I told y'all before, I believed everything they said about Puff. That he was gay. That he messed with minors. Everything they put it. The same thing y'all believed, I did too. But as I started going to the trial and hearing the evidence and the witness testimony, none of that was true. So now, I started to see and say, they trying to set this nigga up for the downfall. They trying to take Puff down. And when I saw that, then I became even a more ardent. Is that too much heat for you, bro? No, that's good. I became even more, an even more ardent supporter of Puff. For that reason. You know what I'm saying? Once I saw the lies. And. But. In all of my reporting. If you watch. Now, Puffy's lawyers, Alexander Shapiro, to be specific. Puff was raising the race issue that Puff was being targeted because he was a successful black man. And, you know, this was a racial case and the law, the Man Act, the white slave. She. And she's a white woman. Alexander Shapiro. I think she's a white Jewish woman. She was raising the race. I never raised it on none of my broadcasts because I didn't want to be like people would say and draw the inference. Oh, this nigga just, he out here playing the race car. He ain't even thinking about the facts and the evidence. I was very careful not to bring up the race car. I was very disciplined in focusing on the facts, the testimony, the evidence, the witnesses. And that I was going to prove. First of all, I was going to present that information better than anybody. And I was going to prove that Puffy was innocent based on the facts, man. And not nothing else. And because a lot of, a lot of, a lot of my people, see the foundational black American, the niggas. See, I'm a foundational black American. We, as a people, we suffer from low self-esteem. Right. And we, a lot of us, and I have been there at a point in my life where because I underperform, because I'm mediocre, because I'm not trying my best. Or, you know, when I was involved in my drug addiction and my alcoholism, you know, we have a tendency, and we're raised up this way, to blame the white man for everything that's wrong in my life. Oh, man, I got to the coffee spot, and they ran out of coffee. Oh, man, the white man then made him run out of coffee on me, man. Or I go to the store to buy a tomato. Ain't no more tomatoes. Oh, man, the white man then took all the tomato. You know, that's how a lot of us are conditioned. And, um, I have grown out of that, right? I'm a man amongst men, and I take accountability and responsibility for me, right? And I feel like I'm the best motherfucker in the world anyway out of all eight billion of y'all, right? That's how I think. That's where my arrogance is. That's where my conceit is. That's where my self-confidence is. That's where my self-perception is. You understand? That's where my self-esteem is. So I believe that I can achieve anything, right? But I was very careful that I was not going to introduce that into this trial, at least from my broadcast. Now, other people were doing it. Other people were saying it, but not me. You know what I'm saying? And, um, I think I did that. I think I did that.
[01:00:46] Speaker 3: What's your connection to Puff in general? Like, uh, hearing his music, you know, like, Tiger, like, Tiger, like, Tiger.
[01:00:56] Speaker 1: So, like, me and Puff, I'm older than Puff. I'm older than Puff. I'm older than Puff by seven months. So, when Puff started with Jodeci and Uptown Records with Andre Harrell, and Mary J. Blige, he, Puffy made the soundtrack to my college experience because he was at Howard and I was at Morris Brown. I went to Morris Brown College, historically black college in Atlanta, Georgia. So, I follow Puff's music. Puffy nice with the music, man. You can't front on him. A lot of people say, oh, he just sampled music. He do this and that. That may be true. But the nigga is probably the best at doing that if you want to relegate him to that. So, that's how I started following Puff, and then obviously with Biggie, that whole thing, and just following his career, man. You know, I was a fan of Puff's music. You know, I was a fan of Puff. I don't know Puff. I never met Puff. Check me out right here, y'all. You got to get the dope ticket from the turnpike. You got to get the dope ticket. We're not going to sit in this traffic right here, man. That traffic, they ain't doing nothing. Because they got that Highway 2 narrow down there by Bayonne, man. They got to open that shit up. They got to open it up. My man got a flat tire. So, that's how I got introduced to Puff, man. That's how I got, by following him musically. You know what I'm saying? But like I say, I allow the mainstream media and Instagram and other rappers, they always talk bad about Puff. They always talk bad about Puff. And it was, it was incessant. It was repetitive. It was consistent. And anything that's repetitive, consistent, and overboard, you have a tendency to believe it. And I believed it. You know, like I say, I went to the trial to hear all the nonsense, but it never came out. Never came out. And what's crazy is that they offered him a plea deal. Well, his plea deal was 40 years, 30 years to take the plea. And he's 55 years old. So, that was effectively, they offered him a life sentence, the prosecution, before the trial. Take this and don't go to trial. He said no. And he went to trial. And he beat him. If he would have lost trial, he was looking at life without the possibility of parole. He was looking at life without the possibility of parole, which would have triggered the asset forfeiture clause in the RICO. He had one count of racketeering conspiracy with seven or eight predicate offenses underneath that racketeering conspiracy. Kidnapping, bribery, arson, possession of drugs with the intent to distribute, coercion, force, fraud, violence, trafficking. And all, and what was crazy, the prosecution kept telling the jury, all you need to do, y'all, this is the prosecutor telling the jury. This case extends back to 2008. But all you need to do is find one time that he did any of these things and he's guilty of RICO. And the jury rejected it. They acquitted him. And he beat the feds at trial. We're right here in Jersey City, y'all. Chill town. Chill town.
[01:05:45] Speaker 2: So do you think the outcome was, um, I guess, fair, accurate?
[01:05:51] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[01:05:51] Speaker 2: What was the outcome, if people don't know?
[01:05:54] Speaker 1: Well, what ended up happening is, Puffy went to trial. The jury acquitted him. Hold on, y'all, my mic fell off. Let me get my mic. My mic sound nice, check one. My mic sound nice, check two. How you doing? Hello. Good morning. All right. All right. $140. How much? $140. $140?
[01:06:28] Speaker 3: I watch your YouTube channel.
[01:06:30] Speaker 1: You do? I don't know. Thank you, baby. I'm filming my documentary right now.
[01:06:35] Speaker 2: Okay. Thank you.
[01:06:36] Speaker 1: So he had two counts of sex trafficking, one count of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of prostitution, five counts. He got acquitted of the racketeering conspiracy, acquitted of the two counts of sex trafficking, which were the three biggest charges that would have given him a life sentence, triggered the asset forfeiture clause. They would have seized his bank accounts, his houses, his publishing, everything. They would have pretty much made his family destitute and he would have went to prison for life, never to see his mother or his daughters again. The jury acquitted him of the racketeering conspiracy and the two sex trafficking charges. Not guilty. Acquitted. They found him guilty on the two prostitution joints, the Mann Act, but those were like the lesser charges, which he should have never been charged with in the first place. And it was a win. It was a win. It was a win. The prosecution lost. The Southern District of New York lost. They got beat. They got beat at trial in New York City. Foundational black American man took his money facing life without the possibility of parole, offered a 40-year plea, offered a 40-year plea or 30-year plea, said, fuck y'all, took it to trial, and left it up to 12 New Yorkers, 12 New Yorkers on the jury of different racial backgrounds, different ethnicities, different genders. And he got acquitted, thanks to his legal team. Mark Agnifilo, Puffy's lead lawyer, saved his life with that closing argument. All of Puffy's lawyers saved his life because they all played a part, a different part, in different chapters of the trial. Nicole Westmoreland, Brian Steele, Anna Esteveo, Jason Driscoll, Alexander Shapiro, Xavier Donaldson, Tenny Garagos, Jonathan Bach. These lawyers were, these lawyers were fucking amazing, man. To watch these niggas in the courtroom, it was like watching the Super Bowl. It was like watching the Super Bowl. I don't know what a trial is supposed to look like. Like I said, I never saw this before, but you know that when you see excellence, like when you see something, excellence, you know like, yo, this is some top flight shit right here. I don't know what I'm looking at, but this shit is good. And that's what it was like looking at Puffy's lawyers, man. And the prosecution team was made up of six white females, six white females, all from Ivy League colleges, University of Pennsylvania, law school, Harvard law, Yale law, all these Ivy League, the judge, Columbia law, you know, the best of the best, allegedly, supposedly, the most elite level legal minds in the world, and them niggas was cheating every day. They cheated every single day to lock this man up. And the jury saw right through it. The jury saw right through it. That shit was, it was a victory, man. It was a victory for Puff, but it was a victory for the people, especially the foundational black American male, us, not the foundational black American female, not no other Caribbean black male, the African black male. That ain't got nothing to do with us. They different from us. They black like us and all that, but they not us. They haven't had to endure. Their bloodline doesn't extend back to slavery, right? In order to be considered a foundational black American male, your bloodline got to be able to extend back to slavery, either through your mother or father in this country. Yeah, you could have been a slave in Cuba. You could have been a slave in the Dominican Republic. You could have been a slave in Haiti or Jamaica, but that's not related to us. You like our cousins. You like our second or third cousins from over there. But what Puffy did in New York City at the trial, the most high-profile trial in the history of New York City, maybe even the country, he beat the feds at trial with his money. This nigga marshaled his resources. This is the genius of it, right? First of all, Puff is a kid from Harlem. Father gets murdered when he's three. He comes up in Harlem. His mother brings him up as a single mother. This nigga rises to become an elite-level music mogul, entertainment mogul, fashion mogul, business mogul, wine and spirits mogul, and amasses this massive amount of wealth. Gets targeted by the United States government and then takes his wealth and say, fuck it, let's go to trial, motherfucker, and takes him to trial and beats him. Unbelievable. Hires the best lawyers. And none of them. Alexander Shapiro is Ivy League and Jonathan Bach. Jonathan Bach went to Yale Law School. Alexander Shapiro went to Columbia. But the rest of Puffy's lawyers are regular NYU, Nicole Westmoreland, Stetson, Xavier Donaldson, Howard University Law School, Black College, Mark Agnifolo, Brooklyn Law, Brian Steele, Fordham Law. Their law schools is not as prestigious as the prosecution and they still kick their ass. That's why it don't matter where you go to school and all that. How good are you? Are you good? Yes or no? Do you know what you're doing? Yes or no? Tell me right now. Speak up. Hurry up. The prosecutors, you could see in their body language, in the courtroom, that they knew they were inferior to Puffy's lawyers. Puffy's lawyers, their vibration, their energy, their aura dominated the courtroom. Dominated. And them girls, them prosecutors, not to say that them prosecutors ain't good, they ain't smart. Obviously, they smart, right? They went to Ivy League Law Schools. They graduated. They're prosecutors in the Southern District of New York in the federal court. They're good. They're good. Don't get me wrong. I ain't trying to front them all that. I ain't that, you know, I'm an honest man. Them niggas is good. They're good prosecutors. They know the law. But they wasn't good enough for this. They got beat. They got beat. They got beat, man. And I was happy. I was happy. Because it was a victory for the people. It was a victory for the foundation of Black American Man. It was a victory for me. It was a victory for me. I love America, right? I'm born here. I'm raised here. My mother from here. My father. Both sides of my family from here. I love America. But America got some wicked history as far as the nigga is concerned. And Puffy winning that trial was a victory for me, man. That shit felt good. It was like, yeah. Yeah, we beat y'all. You know what I'm saying? One of my people, one of my brothers beat y'all. And it was a damage to the brand of the Southern District of New York. Their brand got damaged because it was prosecutorial misconduct all over the place. All over the place. All over the place.
[01:16:33] Speaker 2: What was their, I guess, incentive for treating him unfairly or, you know, why go out of their way to do that?
[01:16:42] Speaker 1: You know, that question always was raised, like, why are they doing Puffy like this? There have been several theories. The primary one being the reason Puffy got jammed up in this situation was because he sued the liquor company that he was in business with, Diageo. I don't know. But that was the prevailing narrative as to why he was being taken down. I don't know. Some people have said that he was trying to start his own political party. That was, that contributed to it. Um, I don't, I don't really, I don't really know why he got jammed up in that situation. You know what I'm saying? But the nigga, man, the nigga, it's amazing. For me to even talk about it now, and this is November, 2025, the verdict, the verdict was in July. I'm still like, yo, this is crazy. And he's going to make a comeback. But how I play, how I think I played a part in this trial, man, is, and this is what people told me. And after I had, after the trial was over and I had a chance to really look at it, I, I agree. But people were telling me, they will come in my comments section while I was live and saying, like, Sean, you are saying, you are unbiased and you're giving the facts. No one else is reporting this trial like you. And that's what people were saying. And this was people of all ethnicities, right? Around the world. Around the world. Africa. Zimbabwe. South Africa. Kenya. Budapest, Hungary. London. Hong Kong. And they said, Sean, you, you changed this trial for Puff. You impacted this trial for Puff. And I believe that. Right? Because the thing about it was this. The jury. The jury.
[01:19:43] Speaker ?: The jury.
[01:19:43] Speaker 1: The jury. I believe that whoever was behind Puffy's downfall put together a strategy that, number one, they were going to destroy him in the mainstream media. Assassinate his character prior to trial. Taint the jury pool. Number two. They were going to use prosecutorial misconduct, perjury, and juror witness coercion and force. Because that's what the Southern District of New York did. They exercised coercion and force to get the witnesses to testify the way they wanted them to testify. And they were going to hire social media people, YouTubers and Instagrammers and TikTokers, to continue to destroy Puff's name while the trial was going on. And that's what they did. And I think another prong to that was that they weren't going to sequester the jury. They were going to let the jury go home every day, look in their phones, get on their social media feeds, watch the TV, listen to the news, and even be more influenced to convict Puff. Because in my estimation, a trial of this big, I said a trial of this big, a trial of this magnitude, shout out to Chill Town, Jersey City, this is my old home, this is my old neighborhood, y'all. I'm on Monticello. Shout out to Monticello ad, Chill Town. A trial of this magnitude, the jury should have been sequestered. The jury should have been put up in a hotel, all 18 of them, for the entire eight weeks. The phones taken out of the hotel room, the TVs taken out of the hotel rooms, effectively sending them to prison for eight weeks for the duration of the trial, so that they could not be influenced by nothing other than the testimony at the trial. But the prosecution knew, the Southern District of New York knew, if we do that, he's definitely going to walk because we don't have a case. We don't have the evidence to support a conviction. So they let the jury go home. So I said, well, Sean, if the jury is at home every night watching mainstream media and other YouTubers, they got to be watching you too. They got to be watching the podcast with Soul. They got to be watching Sean G. And then I began to tailor my lives and all of my content toward the jury, as if I was speaking to the jury, because I knew they was watching me. I knew they was watching me. Because my channel blew up as a result of this trial, right? And I was the one, from the start to the finish, I was the one YouTuber that was pro-puff. Even some of the mainstream media started to become pro-puff after about the fourth week. They started to shift from being anti-puff, anti-puff, anti-puff, to starting to report it down the middle, because I think my subscribers was going over to those channels saying, yo, y'all not saying something ain't right, because what Sean G's saying and what y'all saying is totally different. And then everybody started coming over to the middle to report all the major names. And I said, Sean, at least one of these jurors, probably more, is watching you. And when they come home and watch you, those jurors are saying to themselves, like, that's the motherfucker that's telling the truth. Because I was in the courtroom, and what he's saying is what I heard today while I was on the jury stand. And that was my approach. That was my approach. That was my approach. And I was going to tell the truth. The more everybody else lied, the more honest I was going to become. The more they fabricated stories, the more I was going to tell the real deal. And that's what I did. That's what I did, man. And, you know, I believe I impacted that trial, man. And along with his lawyers, his legal team, I was on the front line of his defense, too, in the social media space. And I believe I helped save that nigga's life, too.
[01:25:57] Speaker 2: So has your content, I guess, changed a little bit? Like, because you started off as, you know, calisthenics, then you started covering the puppy trout, where you are at now.
[01:26:12] Speaker 1: Yeah, so, I built my channel on calisthenics, positive self-talk, self-esteem, self-confidence videos, cooking videos. And when I started to cover the puppy trout, my core base of subscribers was like, yo, Sean, leave that alone, man. Man, don't cover that. Keep doing the calisthenics. A lot of my subscribers, but I said, something inside of me said, nah, Sean, you got to cover this trial. And that's what I did, man. And the rest is history. So now, I'm still covering the Puffy trial. As things develop, obviously, we're not in the courtroom. He's filed his appeal. And, you know, I'm back covering, I'm back doing calisthenics, but I'm doing, my content now is a lot of self-esteem, right? And self-belief and self-respect and self-love and self-confidence. Because I believe that that, those things are critical to a man's or a woman's success and experience in life. That if you don't have self-confidence, if you don't have a high self-perception, you're not going to have a good life. Right? And irrespective of what color, creed, religion you are, these things are important. And there's a bunch of people walking around on the planet Earth, out of the 8 billion people on the planet, that lack in this department. They lack a belief in themselves. They lack a self-esteem. They lack all of this. But I'm still covering the, I'm still covering the Puffy trial as it develops. I got a couple of interviews set up with the attorneys, with Puffy's lawyers. I'm going to be interviewing some of the lawyers. Maybe I'll get them on this documentary. If you see them on this documentary, that means that I said that before I interviewed them. I haven't interviewed them yet. But I had a couple of them set up. But we're going to wait until the trial is totally over before we get together and get the interview joints going on.
[01:28:53] Speaker 2: Well, they can.
[01:28:57] Speaker 1: They've done interviews, but this trial, it makes so many left turns and right turns and ups and downs. If you do an interview this week, something will happen next week that will negate what you did in the interview the week before. So it's best to kind of just wait. You want to get that street right there? Yeah. Chill town, y'all.
[01:29:34] Speaker 2: This where you grew up?
[01:29:35] Speaker 1: No, I didn't grow up in Jersey City, but I used to drive down here every day. This is where I would come and park my car and then walk to the train.
[01:30:03] Speaker 2: What's parking like around here?
[01:30:06] Speaker 1: Parking is tight. And then you have to be careful because they'll give you a ticket because some days, like Tuesdays and Thursdays, they street sweep. And like today is Thursday. So you can't park on this side of the street until after 12 noon. So I will come down here, man. Sometimes I will ride around for like a half hour trying to find somewhere to park. Yep, trying to find somewhere to park. Thursday, 10 a.m. and 12 noon. Can't park right there. I'm going to find a spot on this block right here. I'm going to find a spot. Is that a spot right there?
[01:30:54] Speaker ?: Okay.
[01:30:57] Speaker 1: They parking right there, doing some construction. Let me see if they're coming. Are we coming now? Anybody in there? Let me see. There's a spot right here for our hydrant. 10 a.m. and 12 noon Thursday. All right, so we've got to park on this side.
[01:31:27] Speaker ?: All right, so we've got to park on this side. I'm going to find a spot right here. All right, so we've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. All right, so we've got to park on this side. All right, so we've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side.

We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side.
[01:32:19] Speaker 1: We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side.

[01:32:26] Speaker ?: We've got to park on this side.
[01:32:27] Speaker 2: We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side.
[01:32:29] Speaker ?: We've got to park on this side.
[01:32:31] Speaker 1: We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side.
[01:32:37] Speaker ?: We've got to park on this side. We've got to park on this side.
[01:32:42] Speaker 1: rule 29, rule 33, motion sidebar, sidebar, sidebar, sidebar. It was a crash course, man, in trial law. And I'm an accountant. My background, I got a bachelor's degree in accounting and a master's degree in finance. So I don't have a legal background. And I wonder if I could park right there. Thursday, 10 to 12 noon. They all going to get tickets. They going to get tickets. It's a fire hydrant right there, ain't it? Yep. Can't park right there. So I learned a whole lot, man, watching this trial, man. A whole lot. Got a spot right here. Tuesday. We good. We good. So, I would have to do this every day, coming down to this trial. Come down here, ride around, sometimes 30 minutes looking for a parking spot in order to get in. Because I'm not paying no, I'm not paying no $50 a day to park every day. So I will come down here, find a spot. So we good. Today is Thursday. So we on the Tuesday side. So we good. So, I also learned that the federal prosecutors are unethical, have the potential to be unethical. They have the proclivity to use prosecutorial misconduct. I'm not speaking on all federal prosecutors, because I don't know all federal prosecutors. But the federal prosecutors, in this case, trash from an ethics standpoint. They were extremely unethical. They engaged in open and notorious prosecutorial misconduct. They put witnesses on the stand that committed perjury. And they knew they were committing perjury. And in order to protect these witnesses from being prosecuted for perjury, they gave these witnesses immunity agreements, whereby the only one that could decide whether they lied and committed perjury or not was the prosecution themselves. And these government witnesses had $10 million civil lawsuits pending against Puff taking the stand, committing perjury in this criminal trial. You hear what I'm saying to you? Do you hear what I'm saying to you? And Puffy's lawyers, Alexander Shapiro, was bringing this out at the trial. I was bringing it out in social media. I lost a lot of respect, you know, in going back to being a foundational black American man. I began to wonder, like, how many niggas have they done this to, right? How many foundational black American men are sitting in federal prison as a result of witness perjury, prosecutorial misconduct that didn't have the total dollars, the money that Puffy had to expose it, that are doing 10 years, 5 years, 15 years, 20 years, 30 years, life. You know what I'm saying? And I bet you there's a lot, you know, and that bothered me. That was one of the first things that came up that, you know, I saw and what I thought about when I saw what was going on. And that's why when Puffy got acquitted, me as a foundational black American male, I was happy. You know, I was happy because it was on the tip, like, the foundational black American man beat the United States. You know, you know, the country that has, you know, the country that has deliberately, intentionally, persistently, with a pernicious intent to destroy this man got their ass kicked at trial.
[01:37:54] Speaker 2: All right, so, where are we going now?
[01:38:14] Speaker 1: All right, so, we're down in Jersey City. So, this is where I would drive every day from my house to Jersey City. And we're going to get on the path train, and we're going to go two stops, and we'll be at the World Trade Center in Manhattan. I got your background. You're good. And, because I wasn't going to drive into the city every day and pay all that crazy money parking. So, I would come here, park free, jump on the path train for $2.75, and then walk to the court. Every morning. Every morning. Every morning. Every morning. And there was some times, man, I got tired of doing this shit, man. You know what I'm saying? But, I said, Sean, you started it, you got to finish it. You know what I'm saying? You got to finish it. And I came every day. I came every day, man. Every day.
[01:39:27] Speaker 2: And did the business side of things, did that, I guess, pay off? You know, in terms of just like, you know, the YouTube...
[01:39:39] Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So, what I made in my YouTube checks far covered what it cost me as far as money to drive. And then shout out to all my subscribers that would cash at me. You know what I'm saying? 5, 10, 20, 25 hours. Because that helped defray a lot of my costs, man. That helped defray a lot of my costs. And shout out to DJ Academics. Shout out to Academics. Academics, uh... Academics put me on. He showed me some love. What did he do? Well, I don't know how he found me. Some of my subscribers says that they were the ones that told him about me. But... You know who Academics is? Yeah. So... Academics is, uh... He's a big hip-hop social media influencer. So, somehow, he got wind of me. And whenever I would go live, he would go live and take my live and put it in his live. And... I started to get a crazy amount of views, man. And, uh... I remember the first day... The first day he did it... He sent me a $300 Super Chat. I made like $1,300 in Super Chats that day. And then, from then on... Uh... He started doing it every day. Whenever he wanted to cover the Puffy trial, he would... He would, uh... He would come on my live. And that helped out a lot. Shout out to you, Academics. Appreciate you, man. Thank you.
[01:41:53] Speaker 2: And are people still interested in it now? Or what, like, from your perspective?
[01:41:58] Speaker 1: Are people still interested in the trial? Yeah. Um... Yeah. Yeah. But not to the extent of what it was when the trial was going on. Because the excitement was... Is he gonna... Is he gonna be found guilty? Or is he gonna get found not guilty? But people are, uh... A lot of people are upset that he's in prison. A lot of people feel like he should have been acquitted of all charges. Um... You know, a lot of people feel like he got over-sentenced. I'm one of 'em. There's no way Puff should have got that... That amount of time... That he got. No way. 50 months? 50 months? For what? For that? No way. No way. No way. No way. No way. His... His... Puffy's... Um... Base offense level was a level 14 on the Sentencing Guidelines.
[01:42:56] Speaker ?: That judge enhanced them 13 levels.
[01:42:57] Speaker 1: That judge...
[01:42:58] Speaker ?: That judge... That judge enhanced them 13 levels. That judge...
[01:42:59] Speaker 1: That judge enhanced them 13 levels. That judge enhanced them 13 levels. That judge enhanced them 13 levels.
[01:43:02] Speaker ?: That judge... That judge enhanced them 13 levels. That judge enhanced them 13 levels.
[01:43:03] Speaker 1: That judge...
[01:43:04] Speaker ?: That judge enhanced them 13 levels. That judge enhanced them 13 levels.
[01:43:04] Speaker 1: That judge enhanced them 13 levels. That judge enhanced them 13 levels. From a level... That judge...
[01:43:08] Speaker ?: That judge enhanced them 13 levels.
[01:43:08] Speaker 1: From a level...
[01:43:09] Speaker 4: on the sentencing guidelines. That judge enhanced them 13 levels. That judge, that judge enhanced
[01:43:27] Speaker 1: them 13 levels from a level, from a level 14, from a level 14 to a level 27. So what should have been 15 to 21 months? He gave them 50 months. Shit is crazy. And Puffy's lawyers Jason Driscoll got up in the courtroom and told the judge at the sentencing hearing.
[01:44:06] Speaker 5: Let me get a try to jump down in here.
[01:44:12] Speaker 1: Okay. Jason Driscoll told the judge, that judge, I've looked at all 900 Mann Act cases on PACER. The average sentence for Mann Act is 14 months. The judge still gave me 50 months. First offender.
[01:44:36] Speaker ?: The judge still gave me 50 months. First offender.
[01:44:36] Speaker 1: First offender. Let me go first.
[01:44:42] Speaker ?: So, so, he got, the judge gave me my train coming right there. Come on, go down. Check him out, y'all.
[01:44:52] Speaker 1: Check him out, y'all. Check him out, y'all.
[01:45:12] Speaker ?: So, the average sentence was 14 months. Puffy's a first offender. No criminal history points.
[01:45:12] Speaker 1: And enhanced them. That's unheard of. That's unheard of. That's unheard of. So, I knew. I knew. I knew. Is this us right here? Ah, it's 33rd. So, I knew that it wasn't right. It wasn't right. It wasn't right. It got over sentenced. A hundred percent. A hundred percent. A hundred percent. The road is closed. So, I will come here every morning. I didn't buy no coffee yet. I get my coffee in the World Trade Center. My coffee. So we down here in Grove Street. This is Grove Street, Pave Station. And I will come here every morning. What time is it? It's 10 minutes to 10. I would already be in court by now. Court started every day at like 8:45, 8:30. Yup.
[01:47:05] Speaker ?: And how long was your job?
[01:47:07] Speaker 1: Huh?
[01:47:08] Speaker ?: What time was your job?
[01:47:10] Speaker 1: Court would start... It would start about 8:30. The lawyers, Pumpey's lawyers and the prosecution and the judge would be discussing issues they had the day before or issues that were going to arise that day in court. And that would take about sometimes a half an hour, sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes 45 minutes. And then they would bring the jury in. And that would usually be like about 9 o'clock when they would bring the jury in. And then we would go from 9 o'clock to about 11:45, 12:15, 12:30, take a 45 minute break for lunch, then come back 1 o'clock and rock all the way out to 4 o'clock. And then that would be it.
[01:48:11] Speaker 2: And it was open to the public?
[01:48:13] Speaker 1: Open to the public. Anybody, anybody could have came to the trial. It was open to the public. You didn't have to pay. Like I said, you couldn't go into... You couldn't go into the 26th floor, right? Unless you were one of the 14. They only accepted 14 members of the public to go into the main courtroom on the 26th floor every day. And it was, to be eligible to go into the 26th, you had to be the first 14 in line. You had to be the first 14 in line. And in order to be the first 14 in line, you had to be the first 14 in line. You had to goddamn either sleep outside the night before. I paid one dude $120 to sleep outside for me one day. It's us right here, y'all. World Trade Center. It's us right here. I paid one dude $120. I went into the 26th floor one time. I went in there one time. I just wanted to go in there and see Puff. That's it. Once I saw him one time, I was cool. I was cool.
[01:49:35] Speaker 6: This is the train to World Trade Center. The next stop is Exchange Place.
[01:49:42] Speaker 7: Stand clear of the closing doors.
[01:49:57] Speaker 1: You still going? Yeah. So, once I saw him one time, I was good. I didn't like, I like the overflow courtroom better. I like the overflow courtroom better because they had a speaker system in there. You could hear everything clear. And then they had two, two big flat screen TVs that you could watch the trial on in real time. I liked it better. And the marshals, the U.S. Marshals wasn't as strict in the overflow as they was in the main courtroom. You couldn't even chew gum in the main courtroom. No water, no coffee, no nothing. The overflow, it depends on the witness. When Jane Doe was testifying, the overflow was packed. When Cassie was testifying, the overflow was packed. If it was like a regular witness, insignificant, it wouldn't be that many people in there. But it'd be about 40 people, 40. And then if it was like a witness, sometimes like a big hearing. Like for sentencing, they had like two or three. Then Kanye West came down there one day. Kanye West came down there one day. They put him and Christian in their own overflow. He had his own courtroom. I think he wanted to go into 26, but he didn't, they didn't let him go in there. They said they didn't want him to influence the, influence the jury. But at least he came. No other celebrities came for Puff. None of them. None of them that he, he helped.
[01:51:53] Speaker 8: This stop is Exchange Place. Change here for the train to Hoboken. Across the platform.
[01:52:00] Speaker 1: None of the, uh, none of them, none of them, nobody came. Except Kanye. That's it. I thought that was crazy. But I think everybody, I think all of them thought he was, I think everybody thought he was going to get convicted and go to jail for 30 years. Sorry about that man.
[01:52:26] Speaker 6: This is the train to World Trade Center. The next end.
[01:52:31] Speaker 7: Stand clear of the closing doors.
[01:52:37] Speaker 1: Yeah, I think everybody thought, uh, you want to get by me? I think everybody thought he was going to get, uh, get found guilty and go to prison for life.
[01:52:49] Speaker 2: So. I'm on the train, I told you. I'm on the train.
[01:52:52] Speaker 1: So, I don't think that's why they didn't come. But now, but now, but now, but now they're going to be, uh, but now, but now they're going to be, uh, now they got to see him.
[01:53:09] Speaker 4: you know

[02:22:48] Speaker 2: are you allowed to say anything to her
[02:22:51] Speaker 1: no no because i was when i got in the 26th i was sitting in the back and puffing them was up front i didn't like the main courtroom it was too big the judge was way back there you understand puffing them was way up front i didn't like that i like the um i like the overflow better because i can hear better the tvs in the overflow you had two big led tvs 70 inch bang bang and the camera one camera was focused on the witness stand and the other camera was fixated on uh puffy's legal team his lawyers and puff i like that better and you could hear good because the speaker system in the overflow was top notch come on let me show you what we went in there so this is where that's where the family used to go in there they would pull up right here in the sprinter van puffy's mom's all his kids i used to see puffy's mother all the time she would come in right here uh the kids and then you come right here you come in right here and this is where you this is where i used to go in every morning and um they go one of the they go one of the marshals right there i will go in there every morning you got to take all your stuff out your pocket i used to have to take my suspenders off because this metal part will go off i used to see puffy's mother here christian justin uh the girls all of them all of them right here but i used to see puffy's mother the most i used to see her the most and um i used to tell her i used to say i didn't know what to say to her because i felt i didn't know if puff was going to survive i didn't know if he was going to make it i thought they were being being that i saw that they were what they were doing to him with the prosecutorial misconduct i thought they were going to definitely railroad the nigger and convict him i didn't think he was going to make it and i used to see his mother and i would tell her i say good morning she said good morning and i just say all the best to you and she say thank you and we will go about our business then i would see i would always see them the family on the eighth floor that's where the cafeteria was and um you know when i first when they first saw me they didn't know who the hell i was you know what i'm saying they didn't know if i was friend or foe but i never engaged in any conversations with any of the sons or his moms because i don't know if they had gag orders or or not but you know i'm saying i didn't want to uh you know that's a sensitive situation so i just would speak and keep on moving i told christian i wanted to get an interview though he told me he was gonna give me one and nigger still ain't gave me one yet yo christian nigger you owe me interview but this is where i would come in right here and and at the end of court his family will come out right here the sprinter van the sprinter van will pull up right here the sprinter van will pull up right there and then they would they would exit out and walk into the walk into the sprinter van check it out check it out bro jury duty public entrance anybody could go in anybody could go in i said something about i told you to remind me when we said unique right so what made my coverage unique in this trial was the fact that i probably was one of the only there may have been others but i was of the small minority if there were others i don't know there were a lot of caribbean caribbean black males down here but i was a foundational black american black male down here covering the trial and it wasn't i might have been the only one or it made less than one hand and my perspective right being from this area from this region of the country right with the new york flavor with the new york style from jersey north jersey but like i say north jersey is a part of the new york city metropolitan area parts of north jersey are closer to manhattan than brooklyn the bronx queens long island definitely long island definitely statin island so i covered the trial with like an old school 1980s new york hip-hop flair nobody nobody was doing that i was solo and single and solitary and covered it from that perspective and i think that's we got to go outside the gate my man sorry about that all right you too man so i think i think i think that i think that was intriguing to a lot of people i think it was interesting um to a lot of people and not only that it was the gear i had on i had shirt and tie every day i wore a shirt and tie every day i wore this hat every day i was professional every day i took the best notes right i pronounced my words with precision i enunciated my vowels and consonants with perfection right i spoke the truth even if it was a bad day for a puff i said it if it was a good day for the prosecution i said it if it was a good day for puff i said it if it was a bad day for the prosecution i said it right like i told y'all before the more unethical i saw the prosecution be the more i told myself the more ethical and upright i was going to be the more they lied the the stronger the truth i would tell i was going to counter whatever they was doing wrong i was going to counter that with doing right and that's what i did i was consistent the marshals the u.s marshals i would come in they they uh they with me they would they would they would they wouldn't speak but they would like give me that head nod good morning good morning because they i was watching and i just i was just gonna beat everybody and i did and i did right abc cbs cnn came down here and they will come and get some youtubers and instagramers and bring them on their live broadcast at five o'clock and ask them about the trial or whatever but usually who they will come get would be those instagramers youtubers and tick tockers that was against puff they never asked me never once not one major radio or tv show asked me to come on i was in the courtroom in the overflow with the black girl from the breakfast club the black girl from cnn the black black girls from abc nbc uh cbs they never asked me once because could have been several reasons probably primarily they don't have the power to bring on whoever they want number one number two they probably were instructed that only bring on people that are going to support our narrative of anti-puff uh and number three they probably was intimidated by me and my style and my honesty and my truth because they knew they was lying but they had to lie because of their job they was receiving a paycheck from mainstream media and they're told what to do what to say me i'm independent i say what i want i do what i want you know what i'm saying that's what it was
[02:34:06] Speaker 5: i don't want to give me a little bit
[02:34:11] Speaker ?: and i think i'm going to give you a little bit and i'm going to give you a little bit and i'm going to give you a little bit and i'm going to give you a little bit and i'm going to give you a little bit and i'm going to give you a little bit and i'm going to give you a little bit and i'm going to give you a little bit and i'm going to give you a little bit and i'm going to give you a little bit and i'm going to give you a little bit and i'm going to give you a little bit and i'm going to give you a little bit and i'm going to give you a little bit and i'm going to give you a little bit and i'm going to give you a little bit and i'm going to give you a little bit
[02:34:34] Speaker 9: what do you want from me you know it's going good you know if i'm involved in it you know it's going good yeah let me call
[02:34:57] Speaker 7: okay you're coming up
[02:35:07] Speaker 1: you come okay okay i see all right n-y-p-diddy n-y-p-diddy this is where it went down at man this this strip right here was packed man when the lawyers will come up they will get mobbed by the social media people man mobbed mob but the thing about it man the thing about this trial was the cross-examination the cross-examination is what is what is what is what saved puffy's life it was the cross-examination you know and that's why i titled this documentary the cross-examination that blew the prosecution's case out of the water puffy didn't call not one witness he didn't need to because his lawyers cross-examined the government's witnesses to such an extent that it was crazy it was crazy jam what up what's going on what's happening what's good all right how you doing excuse me how you doing what's up man all right
[02:37:03] Speaker 7: hey we just gonna pull right up right up a couple of lots of the park and walk back all right all right all right
[02:37:09] Speaker 1: uh that's one of the guys that came down here and said he wanted to do a documentary on me in my coverage of the trial this was like around week five and i had agreed to do it but then i'm the kind of man where i like to get since i'm talking about puff i'm talking about his mother's kids i'm the kind of i gotta get his permission to do something like this before i do it you know i didn't want to capitalize off the nigger's pain especially we didn't the verdict hadn't even come out yet the verdict hadn't even come out yet so i didn't want to do that but now that the verdict is out and um you know this is why i'm doing it but like getting back to what i was saying about the uh the cross-examination that that was the key after a while the government put on 34 witnesses 34 witnesses after a while i didn't even care about the prosecution's direct examination because i knew it was some bullshit and a lot of the youtubers told me the same thing they said sean we only coming to hear the cross-examination and that was my move that was my feeling i only wanted to hear the cross-examination because that's what that's what made the trial that's what that's what made that's what made the trial the cross-examination
[02:39:37] Speaker 9: yeah
[02:39:42] Speaker 1: and i made sure that when i did my broadcast that i focused on the cross i did both i would present the direct examination and i would present the cross-examination but the mainstream media and a lot of other youtubers and instagramers was only putting out the direct examination which was against puff but the cross-examination that was the highlight puff killed it puff's lawyers killed it yeah i think he said he's coming back down from foley square back to the courthouse okay okay okay let me know all right
[02:41:15] Speaker ?: okay so so so so so
[02:44:15] Speaker 5: tell you about the film yeah
[02:44:27] Speaker 1: so the cross-examination the reason i call this the cross-examination is because that's what made that's that's what saved puffy's life that's what saved puffy's life the cross the cross-examination is what saved his life what's up man i'm in the city look a little showing y'all a little showing y'all what's up man you up look at the pigeons on the floor look at the pigeons on the floor look at all the pigeons my pigeons better than your pigeons man but i'm filming i'm filming i'm filming a documentary right now all right
[02:45:26] Speaker ?: all right
[02:45:28] Speaker 1: so so the cross-examination the crossing the cross-examination is what saved puffy's life is what saved puffy's life
[02:45:46] Speaker ?: the crossings look at the pigeons y'all
[02:45:48] Speaker 1: the cross-examination the cross-examination
[02:46:01] Speaker ?: the cross-examination
[02:46:04] Speaker 1: because everything that the prosecution said under the direct examination got destroyed by puffy's lawyers on the cross and that was where the truth came out the truth came out in the cross-examination that was when the facts came out the direct examination was the lies and the obfuscation right and the smoking mirrors the perjury but when puffy's lawyers got done with the cross-examination it was a wrap it was a wrap and that was that was the most fascinating part of the trial to me and that's why i named this the cross-examination you know what i'm saying and that was that was and his lawyers his lawyers the first lawyer the first lawyer to gain my attention with the cross-examination was jonathan bach and nicole westmoreland jonathan bach when nicole westmoreland cross-examined dawn richards and jonathan bach cross-examined dr dawn hughes the expert witness of the southern district of new york when he got done with her and when nicole westmoreland got done with dawn richards i was hooked i was hooked i was hooked i was hooked and then that's when i began to believe in puffy's innocence that's when puffy's innocence began to shine through that he was innocent of the charges even though i began to feel he was innocent i still thought they was gonna jerk him and uh and convict him i still thought that i still thought that you understand but the way that um because i always believed and i've been led to believe and a lot of foundational black american men we believe that even the lawyers that we hire we go hire a lawyer to represent us deep down in our souls most of us still believe that the lawyer we hired that the lawyer we hired is still in bed with the judge and the prosecutor that he is his loyalties lie with the prosecution and the and the judge we just feel that way right um we still feel that we you know what i'm saying that they're all in bed together even though we paying this lawyer but when when jonathan when jonathan bach when jonathan bach i wish i would i wish i would have saw him i wish i would have saw him mental illness is real man mental illness is real this is live this is live we shooting this live this is going to be in the documentary when jonathan bach puffy's lawyer a white male cross-examined dr dawn hughes a white female the expert witness for the prosecution for the southern district in york when he took her head off and showed her no mercy and body slammed her pile-drived her he made that woman he made that woman look this big on the stand when i saw him do that to her i said oh this is real this is real he didn't handle her with no kick gloves it was all real and um that's when i became interested in the cross-examination uh tinny garagos's cross-examination of jane doe had her bro cut down on the stand she took her own sidebar jane doe said sidebar sidebar jonathan bach i had never even heard of the word sidebar until jonathan bach was cross-examining dr dawn hughes maureen comey took so many sidebars with that cross-examination i said what the hell is the sidebar sidebar sidebar
[02:52:07] Speaker ?: i said what's up man what's going on
[02:52:16] Speaker 1: what's up man what's going on what's up man what's going on oh
[02:53:03] Speaker 7: okay
[02:53:09] Speaker 1: i was my lawyer on the civil on the criminal case cross-examination free puff free puff free puff puff beat the feds at trial in new york city took the feds at trial and beat him in a rico joint beat him it's in the history books can't be changed it's historical store filming then i'll call you back all right chilling hard y'all that's the federal courthouse let's go over here let's go over here rhymes with the federal that's the federal united states courthouse right there it's the old building yes so i shot a lot of content right here man united states courthouse i had never ever been down here i used to i used to never even come down here i used to see this like on tv with like law and order and csi but i never had even been down here man and uh it's crazy man now i come down here it's like nothing
[02:55:40] Speaker 7: so i thought it would have been more interesting than me just standing there talking to me and i just felt like the cinematic would have been more interested like if the people walking past after you're walking so i got i have a i have a lot of people you know that basic stuff and i'm going to walk down to the courthouse and i'm hoping they'll take what you want to say you said put conversation in front of there and then that's how um that's that's it but the only thing is i want to take that that walk that we take about i want to take that walk twice the reason why i want to take it for like the first time house is going to be in front of us like this but then i'll do it the second time we can go down
[02:56:29] Speaker 4: This is the first place in the area of the area of the area of the area of the area of the area of the area.
[02:56:59] Speaker ?: This is the first place in the area of the area of the area of the area of the area of the area of the area of the area.
[02:57:29] Speaker 4: This is the end of the day of the day of the day of the day.
[02:57:59] Speaker ?: This is the end of the day of the day of the day.
[02:58:29] Speaker 7: This is the end of the day of the day of the day.
[02:58:59] Speaker 1: This is the end of the day of the day. This is the end of the day of the day of the day of the day. This is the end of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day. This is the end of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day. From...
[03:01:00] Speaker ?: From...
[03:01:01] Speaker 1: Sitting in the courtroom, listening to the testimony, writing it all down, going live, doing my broadcast. And I would be exhausted, man, on the way home, on the way home every night. But I would go home, and I would go home, and, you know, I just looked at every day. Every day was an achievement. Every day was an achievement. Every day was an achievement. Every day was an accomplishment. You know, I felt that I had to go. Once I started, and I saw the way they was doing Puff in the media, I felt like I had to go. Or else he wasn't, he was going to be done. Like, I had to go tell the truth, because nobody else was telling it. If I didn't go to that trial, if I didn't go to that trial, if I would have listened to my calisthenics audience on my channel, and not covered that trial, Puff probably would have got convicted. The chances would have been greater than what they were. Not, I don't want to say, like, I'm the reason he got acquitted. I don't believe that his lawyers played a major, significant role in that happening. But I do believe that my coverage on YouTube played a role in helping him, too. Because I represented him in the media world, right? His lawyers represented him in the courtroom, right? But the media wasn't allowed in the courtroom, and the only media that was allowed in the courtroom was the media that was against him. You know what I'm saying? So, like, I felt like I had to come to the trial, man. I had to be here for that nigga, man. You know what I'm saying? And I'm glad I was able to help Puff, man, and help his family. I wasn't even doing it for the money. People was like, "Yo, Sean, he owe you, he owe you." I wasn't even, I'm good. I'm good. My legacy, and my son's legacy, and my grandkids' legacy, and my family legacy, is that I helped somebody. I helped, I participated in helping save Puffy's life and his family's life. And I'm good with that. I helped somebody. I came through this world as a living human being, and I helped somebody. You know what I'm saying? We want to come through, we want to come through. We want to come through, man. Alright. Gonna go get on the train. Take it on home.
[03:04:31] Speaker 4: Take it on home.
[03:04:34] Speaker 1: Take it on home. Take it on home.
[03:04:52] Speaker ?: Take it on home. Take it on home.
[03:04:52] Speaker 1: Take it on home.
[03:04:53] Speaker ?: Take it on home. Take it on home. Take it on home. Take it on home. Take it on home. Take it on home. Take it on home. Take it on home. Take it on home.
[03:05:01] Speaker 1: What's crazy, what's crazy about this trial, man.
[03:05:16] Speaker ?: It was like a moment in time.
[03:05:17] Speaker 1: And if you weren't there, no matter how much, you can read all the transcripts you want. You can watch all of my YouTube channel you want. You can watch all of anybody's media that you want. But if you wasn't there at the trial, you missed it. And like, I can't even discuss, people want to discuss the trial with me, but I can't even discuss the trial because people's mentality is so jaded by what they learned and their minds were poisoned by mainstream media. That, and they never came to the courtroom. They never read the transcript. They only go about what they heard in the media. You can't even talk to them. You can't even, I can't even talk to them because I was there. I heard the whole thing. I heard the whole thing. I saw the whole thing. I saw the whole thing. I saw the whole thing. And people, people, families have stopped speaking to each other as a result of this trial. People who were once friends, aren't friends no more. That's how, that's how polarizing this trial was. That's how, that's how divided this trial had people. That's how, that's how.
[03:07:23] Speaker ?: That's how, that's how. That's how, that's how. That's how, that's how. That's how, that's how. That's how, that's how. That's how, that's how. That's how, that's how. What's up?
[03:07:31] Speaker 1: What's up?
