DIDDY'S KANYE DOUBLE-CROSS, KIM KARDASHIAN DRAGGED IN

Published Mar 25, 2025, 8:47 PM

A recorded phone call between Kanye West and Sean Combs has been used in a new song.

The recording leaked just as West released his latest track, Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine. The song features samples from the jailhouse call, a verse from Combs’ son, Christian “King” Combs, and West’s daughter, North. As West faces backlash from ex-wife Kim Kardashian over North’s inclusion, a source claims Combs now feels like “he’s collateral damage.” The source added that Combs believed the call was a sincere expression of concern for him and his family and is now embarrassed to be caught in the crossfire.

Kardashian is fighting to stop West from releasing the song, calling it “irresponsible” and a blatant disregard for North’s future and reputation. She first reminded West that she holds a trademark for their daughter's name, then sought emergency mediation with a judge. West did not appear. Although his X post featuring the song was quickly deleted, fans had already reposted the audio across the internet.

As Combs’ trial approaches, his defense team is pushing to block evidence from the courtroom. Attorneys argue that the widely circulated video of Combs attacking then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura was altered to misrepresent the altercation. Prosecutors, however, claim to have the original, unedited footage from the Intercontinental Hotel. Supporting their case is Combs’ own apology video, which appears to confirm the video's authenticity. Defense attorneys are also challenging evidence seized in federal raids, accusing investigators of “grossly misrepresenting facts” to obtain search warrants.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.

Diddy's Kanye double cross as Kim Kardashian is dragged into Shawn Combs's vortex. This as comes claims the Cassie Ventura beat down video was doctored and a bombshell in a Jay Z sex attack case, one lawyer quits and another high profile lawyer seemingly forced out with his tail between his legs. I'm Nancy Grace, this is Crime Stories. Thank you for being with us.

Despite a mounting pile of evidence and seemingly endless scream of lawsuits. P Diddy, please not guilty in federal sex trafficking case.

Did Kanye double cross? Ditty with friends like that? Who needs enemies?

Listen?

West shove support last month turned into an anti Semitic tirade, but once again, Comb's is caught leaning on West for support. In a jail call, Combs reportedly wasn't where Wes was recording. Combs's sudden display of friendship with the controversial rapper seems to highlight how isolated Combs has become as the allegations against him pile up. Several other celebrity pals have made it clear they want nothing to do with Combs, especially jay Z, who fought bitterly to have his name cleared from a lawsuit alleging the rape of a thirteen year old girl.

Joining me an all star panel, but first two crime stories, investigative reporter Sidney Summer, let me understand what happened, so Kanye Ugh, after his anti Semitic tyret, I can hally even speak his name.

I feel like I'm eating a dirt sandwich.

Kanye called Combs behind bars, and Combs thinks he's getting all this support and they're having this conversation and then let me.

Understand what happens, Sidney.

Then Kanye turns around, he secretly records the phone call and uses it in a t.

That's correct, Nancy, That's exactly what happened. And it's not clear as Comb's is specifically upset about the samples being used in a song. Their conversation seems to involve music, and Comb's wanting Kanye to get back to publishing music and that being his focus. But Colmbs now feels slightly betrayed. He's been pulled into this drama with Kanye West's ex wife Kim Karashian, and that's the christ.

Hold on Sydney you had me at Comb's feels betrayed because he's in a conversation Willingly with Kanye, and Kanye secretly or not secretly records him and uses it to make money on a track. Okay, listen.

Kanye's latest song, Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine features a jailhouse phone call a verse from Combs, sun Christian Kingcomb's and West daughter north West faces backlash your ex wife Kim Kardashian over north sinking allusion. Combs now feels like he's collateral damage. Combs thought the call came from a place of genuine concern for him and his family and is now embarrassed to be pulled into the crossfire.

Okay, there's a whole lot brewing with Kim k Kim Kardashian, and the last thing did he needs is Kim Kardashian and her mother. Chris Jenner three inches up his tail pipe joining me right now. Rob Shooter, Rob Shooter, host of Naughty but Nice podcast, former publicist for Sean Comb's, author of The Forward Answer, Rob Shooter.

I want you to hear. I want you to hear.

What's on this track and what's on this secretly recorded phone call.

Listen see.

Okay, you know what shooter, hold your horses, because I definitely need a shrink right now.

More than I need.

Holmes is Diddies publicist hold it joining me. High profile soschoanalyst joining us from LA author of deal Breaker. You can see her now on Peacock Doctor Bethany Marshall. Guys, that was exclusively from the Shade Room, Bethany. We just played Seawan Comb's speaking apparently illicitly recorded to Kanye, and he's saying, this is effing sad. I'm puff Daddy in jail. This is effing sad as a mother effort. The devil is a liar. Okay, what puff Daddy in jail? What is he that shocked? If the allegations are true, he has been raping women for years and years and years and years and getting away with it because they were afraid to come forward. And now it's sad that he's in jail. Help me out here, Nancy.

He's shocked because he's gotten away with it for so long because he thinks that what he's doing is perfectly reasonable. He thinks it reasonable to sex traffic miners and sex workers and women he thinks it's reasonable to bring men in to have sex with women so he can watch.

He thinks it reasonable to have a.

Huge room liigned with mirrors so he can view sex from every angle. And all these comments are so self referential. They're all about him. There's nothing about the victims. There's nothing really about his children. And I would say he's doing what criminals do. Is something called shared paranoia, where he tries to align with Kanye against the world, against the legal experts, against the law, thinking that both of them are just buddies in this together and everybody is out to get them.

Hey, guys, I.

Want to hear that one more time. Is effing said I'm puff daddy in jail? What okay, let's hear that again.

That say, hmm okay.

Well it doesn't end there. And we're getting that from the shade room. You can find it online and there's more.

Let's listen, we're going bring.

It on family in and become a king and we're supposed to be.

Yeah, absolutely, the kings were supposed to be. All right, this is Combs.

Did he speaking from his jail cell talking about the king he is supposed to be?

Again?

That is exclusively from the Shade Room. Thank you the Shaved Room. I'm gonna beat this and get next to you. We're gonna raise our families and become the Kings that we're supposed to be.

Okay, out to Rob Shooter joining me.

Former publicist for Shawn Combs, Shooter, can you.

Shed any light on this?

The Kings were supposed to be currently live like a king ever since you told me? He called for cheesecake at three a m. And somebody trotted out to get it downtown Manhattan.

What do you make of it, Shooter.

I'm not at all surprised. This is who Puffy is. He believes that the rules.

Do not pusy now is it Puffy?

Now?

It's many different names.

I always called him puff Puff, but lots of different names then, Nancy, I'm including some, but you go right ahead. Well you're right, and I've got a few names that I shouldn't say on TV too about him.

But path did he whatever you want to call him, This is who he is. He really believes he's very specially doesn't surprise me at all that he's completely per plagues that he is in jail. He thinks he's above the law. He's not, and now he can't get his head around it. It is a shocking woodio that you've got your hands on via the Shade Room. But that is him, that is who he thinks he is. This is from the horses mads. He cannot believe this has happened to him.

Yeah, and another thing, Rob Shooter, which I'll circle back to when we get into the whole North drama of Kim Kay's daughter being included on some tracks and even recording.

When the Tate Brothers, you know, those two.

Guys charged with all those misogynist attacks, We're gonna be hanging around no way in HG double L Would I have my children around the Tate Brothers?

Are you kidding me? Kim k I had to go for an emergency mediation.

Thanks Combs, straight out to Lynn Shaw. Lynn is the founder and executive director Lynn's Warriors, which is dedicated to ending human trafficking and sex attacks on girls and women.

She's the host of Lynn's Warriors on YouTube.

Lynn I think part of the reason that Sean Combs is saying all this about how effing sadness is that Puffy's in jail is because, as you know, oh, during all of the free coughs and more. Women, as doctor Bethny Marshall was describing, were nothing.

They were nothing to him. They were drugged. They had no idea what was going on.

Many of them they were looped up with their whole bodies covered in baby oil and in their semiconscious state, they're reposed in very let me say, revealing positions and video.

Just just hold that thought for a moment.

You go to a party and you think, oh my stars, there's going to be all these celebrities there. What if I meet this one? What if I meet that one? And you wake up with your anus, your rear end, and your vagina hurting. Your body has been covered in baby oil, your head's hurting, you feel nauseous, and then you realize that you have been posed in different extra rated positions so Sean Combs could get a better angle with a group of guys standing around with professional lights and video cameras as you were raped. Okay, these women were like a paper cup to him.

They meant nothing.

But because of them coming forward, he is behind bars and he can't stand it, and I need.

A shower after hearing all of that, the saddest thing victims, alleged victims, all victims of sexual exploitation and trafficking. They are keeping their eye on this story. Just the other day, I ran into somebody who used to used to work in the wrap world, a woman now, who said, I really wish they could get to the bottom of this if they only knew what really went on. We are missing the point here and all of this discussion, the focus has shifted. This is the Dirty Diddy playbook. Put it all on him. We can all forget about the victims, survivors of these attacks. And this is exactly why victims never want to come forward, because they never are either believed, they're ashamed, or the focus is always on the alleged perpetrator. And I don't blame them. I don't blame them. So let's see where this goes. But you know what the feeling on the streets here in New York City is, this will not go anywhere. He's got power and money and he will not be held accountable.

And I'm telling you right now, cases are already being dismissed. So I'm wondering if that's the beginning of a dominant effect.

Crime stories with Nancy Grace.

Straight out to Dodger and Dwayne Hendrick joining US former associate Warden at NBC in Brooklyn, former senior Warden with the US Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons and founder president of a New Daylight Foundation, and he's the author of who Are You Say It?

See It? Say It, and Seize It? Doctor Hendrix, could you explain something to me?

How is it that Sean comes is having these long conversations with Kanye of all people that just did all those anti semitic rants and is selling t shirts with swastikas on them.

Why is it that he can.

Have this long conversation with him and then Kanye tape it. I mean, is this from a public phone? How does that work? Or does he have a surreptitious cell phone?

No, the phone calls, each phone call is fifteen minutes at length at a time, so any call would only be that length. In terms of the recording, all phone calls are recorded by the US government and the inmates and the persons that take those calls from inmates from the jails. Know that one thing I did not here and the clip that you played, I didn't hear.

The recording, did you, Yes, exactly, guy.

So what you're talking about, because I was listening, doctor Hendrickson, I never heard this call is originating from a federal correctional institute, which tells me it is a syruptitious cell phone.

It could be.

Now here's the question.

If oh, look that tracking you, I'm saying nothing but tailhold and elbows.

You're running.

Listen to me.

So the question is New York is a one party consent state in terms of recording a call. Care Now, if the call did come from a federal prison, there is no law against the person receiving the call. However, if this was what you're doing, if this was from myself.

Killing me, that one party consent, which doesn't matter because it's.

From a jail. I'm asking you it was just a syruptisious cell phone that they're wetting.

Letting comes have behind bars. I never heard the jail. This call originates from a federal correctional institute.

Now we need to go to the shame room and ask the full conversation, because ultimately we would only know that if we have the full full clip, So that will be the only way we'll know.

What he was.

Doctor hendricks don't be dragging the shade room into it. They just got a hold of the tape after Kanye leaked it. The issue is in the jail. Shawn Holm's getting special privileges because this clearly is not on a jail. It's not on a jail phone. It has to be from a cell phone.

No, he's not calling from a cell phone.

He'd be the last person.

Where is the recording. I've never had one.

Jail call, and I've taught to inmates for hours and hours and hours not wasted time because usually they would give me information on other cases. But that said, you can't go what a minute without hearing that recording saying this call originates from a federal correctional institute.

I didn't hear that.

Again, those were short clips that we saw. So the only way we would be able to verify that if we were able to hear the clip for more than forty five seconds to a minute or a minute and fifteen seconds. But I highly doubt that that gentleman had a cell phone in that prison.

I guarantee you as not.

Let's listen to more of the call between Kanye and Sean.

Comes straight out to you.

Joshua Ritter joining US High profile, criminal defense attorney, former prosecutor, and host of Courtroom Confidential on YouTube. We're hearing the exclusive sound from the Shade Room. Question to you, I believe that there has been a collaboration between Kanye and Shawn Comes, and we talked about it weeks ago. I think you were with us where they're doing some sort of a monetary enterprise to make money and low and behold surprise. Now Seawn Comes is featured on Kanye's truck. This jail call is on the truck, and you know they're going to make money off of it.

Rit or maybe well somebody's going to be making money off of it. I don't know if Sean Combs is going to be making any money off of it, but it sounds like Kanye is certainly taking advantage of this relationship or whatever you want to call it, this sad sort of friendship. The only person in the world who probably is actually taking Seawan Combs's phone calls is Kanye. And you know, good luck to Shawan Combs on that. It seems like it's just being used to exploit him. But can I get back to the point about whether or not this is a cell phone that was surpiciously snuck into that prison. I mean, this happens all the time. I hear what's being said that they're searching him, they're keeping an eye on him. I don't think the guards are providing him with a phone. But that's cell phones, contraband cell phones are currency inside of these lock up facilities. So the idea that a person with his types of connections and his types of wealth and power and influence outside of those walls would be able to somehow enagle his way into getting a cell phone, I don't think is outside of the realm of possibility. He did.

His former chief of staff breaks silence of this a slew of allegations. As the embattled music mogul awaits trial for sex trafficking charges in New York.

And while he's waiting behind bars, counting down to the day of trial, he's on the phone.

With none other than conne Yea.

Who reportedly secretly records the call to use to his own benefit. Let's take a listen to the trap an.

Nobody and wing Mom, and.

He actually used the jail recording the conversation in his track that from easy.

I'm a little.

Confused, sending summer let me understand something, sending summer joining US Crime Stories investigative reporter that is comes behind bars claiming that no one's taking care of his children while he's behind bars.

Yes, Nancy, that's correct.

Okay, let me understand something. To high profile defense attorney Joshua Ritter, Uh, isn't that what happens when you go to jail on a federal indictment, a multi count indictment of sex trafficking, raping, and abusing drugging women.

Your children don't go to jail with you, right?

He said, that's a thing you should think about before you rape somebody.

I mean, yes, I don't know how else.

Stand you're laughing about you think the victims thing? This is funny? And bodies with my children? Yeah, think about that before.

You drug somebody and slaughter them up with baby oil.

What about that?

Ritter?

I think, listen, you're you're absolutely right. But I mean, let's give him some credit here, right, I mean, he is still caring about his family. He's caught in a position where the only person in the world who he can talk to about this looks like it's Kanye. And Kanye is even taking that phone call and exploiting it and trying to profit off of it. So I mean, listen, the man's behind bars, probably taking taking whatever phone calls you can actually make, and trying to do the best that he can to protect her. Stop children. I don't want much more I can say.

I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.

Okay, you're saying feel sorry for Sean Tom Okay, you know Linnshaw. Isn't that something that an alleged rapist should think about beforehand?

I mean, how many women can you attack and video.

For Pete's sake, State's Exhibit number one and think you're never gonna get caught. And now he's whining he's not there to take care of his children. Think about that before you commit a crime. And Josh Ritter's shame on you.

No, no, no.

You know, money talks and crime walks. The first thing when this case broke, I thought of his teenage twin daughters. That's what I thought of. I thought of, Oh, he's got this family. What are his kids think of him? Especially these two young girls? What is his sympathy? If I didn't know better, I would think that Easy Yuck and Dirty Diddy were in on something together and did this whole thing as a just one big distraction from what's really going on here, just to keep their names in the news. There is no sympathy for this alleged rapist, sploiter.

Whatever you want to call it. And I remind everybody.

I rid er che on that for a minute, Doctor Bethany Marshall, let's jump off of what Lynn Shaw just said, because I find this highly manipulative. Okay, it's so, and I'm sure you have the right psycho lingo to describe it.

But he's behind bars.

According to the state, he's innocent until proven guilty for week after week after week for decades, as long as he got a little money and a little power. As soon as he got that, he could start abusing women and young girls. According to prosecutors, this has been going on for decades. Okay, they just amended and created a superseding indictment to date the sex attacks further back. And now that he's finally in jail awaiting trial, he's.

Like, oh, nobody's taking care of my children.

Yeah, well, think about that man before you rape somebody.

How do you think these victims feel when.

They hear him whining to Kanye, nobody's taking care of my children.

Well, first of all, don't these children have mothers?

I mean, PJD is not the only one in their lives.

The victims have to hear.

Him whining and think about him sort of worrying about his children. But there's no reference to the victims. And all this time and money he spent on these parties, Nancy, he wasn't.

I would be curious.

Was he setting up college funds?

You know what college funds? Don't get me started on college funds. But you're absolutely right following up all what doctor Bethany Marshall and when Shaw just said to Rob Shooter.

He is the host of Naughty but.

Nice podcast, author and former publicist too Seawan comes Okay. Number one rule and cross examination. Don't ask the question you don't know the answer to.

But I'm going to go out on a limb.

How much interaction did Combs have with his children when you were with him?

Limited? It was limited interaction. Now, their mother was still alive at the time.

She's no longer with us, and so they spent most of the time with their mom. Whenever I'd go to his house, his apartment in New York, or his house in the Hampton's or his house in Miami. I never saw the children there. In fact, the only time I ever got to really see the children was on red carpets when the press was there.

Did he like showing off what a great daddy was when the press wasn't there? Not so much?

Anye West drops a shocking distract feat repeated these words a misheated online battle with ex Kim Kay.

So apparently.

Kim Kardashian's children are featured on Kanye's track Let's Listen first to North when you see Michel.

And then he said a light a lie every day?

Nor right that from Easy straight out to Sydney Sumner joining us Sydney.

What happened?

So Nancy, Kanye West brought North into the studio with him, and she decided to use her vocals on this song, which Kim Kardashian views as highly irresponsible and shows that Kanye has no regard for North's future or her reputation. I mean, putting an eleven year old girl on the same song as Diddy, who is accused of all of these atrocities. So Kardashian was understandably upset, and she did her absolute best to keep this song from being published in any way, shape or form. And now Kim Kardashian actually owned the trademark to Northwest's name, and they set that up to help protect her future, to give her a source of income for the future, and that name. Those rights will turn over to North herself when she's old enough to handle them. But for the moment, Kanye West has no legal right to use Northwest's name in any capacity, so she first tried to remind him of that, using that as a block. Hey, you cannot release this song with her using her name. He didn't want to cooperate with that.

You're absolutely right, Sidney. Listen.

Northwest's short verse on Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine is not the tweens first dabble in hip hop, also collaborating with FKA Twigs on Childlike Things, But after Kim Kardashian's criticism Kanye West's decision to put their daughter on a track with Diddy, West has nothing but disapproval for Kardashian's choices about letting North collaborate with other artists. West explodes at Playboy Cardi on X after Cardi asked Kardashian to have North send him a song. West then calls his ex wife a sex trafficker, implying North's collaboration with Twigs was not age appropriate.

Okay, let me understand clarify this for me, Sidney Center.

So Kanye uses.

North, Okay uses North in a track, and it's my understanding that the Tate brothers were visiting or about to visit. You know, the Tate brothers that were basically kicked out of the country and are accused of all sorts of misogynistic attacks on women. Those Tape Brothers were going to be around while North laid tracks.

Yeah, Nancy, So that's happened about two days later, after all of the song drama. So Ken is still trying to do her best to give Kanye access to his children despite everything he's done, despite pulling the stunt with releasing Northwest on this song with Diddy, She's still allowing North to visit with her dad, and Kanye West invites the Tate brothers to their house. So his security guard let Kim Kardashian know what was going on, and she immediately came and picked North up so that she was not exposed to those two men.

You know, Sidney, a lot of people may not know who the Tate brothers are. They have been in Romania behind bars. Explain who the Tate brothers are. Now, just imagine the Tate brothers, Andrew and trist In Tate somehow make their way back into the US, which I strongly oppose.

They get back into the.

US and somehow hook up with Kanye and Sean comes behind bars. He's aware that Kanye is using north for tracks.

Right, Well, Nancy, we can't be too.

Sure what Colmes knew about Kanye's plans to put Northwest on the track. But what we do know about the Tate brothers is they started out as influencers for men, so they would post videos and discuss finding your masculinity and what it is to be a man and how you should live your life.

And somehow Seawan Comes behind bars has been dragged into this saga. Now, let me understand, after all of this, Kim Kay files for an emergency mediation and Kanye's a no show.

Correct, that's correct, he did not show up for that hearing.

Now, explain to.

Me what this has to do with Sean Combs, how he's gotten roped into this because we're talking about North. Okay North is Kanye and Kim Kay's daughter. So what does that have to do with Shawn Combs and how is that affecting his trial?

Sydney Nancy, It really has nothing to do with Sean Combs. Until that phone call dropped. Until this week of that phone call was exposed to the public, everybody thought that Sean Combs was not touching Kanye with a ten foot poll. I mean, we saw how quickly his vote of confidence in Combs turned into an anti semitic tirade just last month. So after that, you would think that Combs would have learned his lesson and stayed away. But it just highlights how isolated Combs is.

He doesn't have any friends.

In Hollywood if he's asking to turn to Kanye for friendship.

Legendary rapper Jay Z denies the allegation he raped a thirteen year old girl at a VMA after party. Jane Doe amended her a lawsuit filed in October that only named Sean Combs while redacting the names of two other celebrities at the party that night. The suit states quote defended Seawan Combs, along with his longtime friend and collaborator Sean Carter aka jay Z, drugged and raped a thirteen year old girl at an after party following the two thousand Video Music Awards. Another celebrity stood by and watch as Combs and Carter took turns assaulting the miner.

That case has been dismissed. That case against jay Z has been dismissed. And not only that, the lawyer that basically started a one to eight hundred for Shawn Comes has turned tail Listen.

Houston lawyer Tony Busby has been forced to step down from several of his lawsuits against Sean Diddy Combs after his case involving jay Z was dismissed. Sean Carter has not wavered in his quest for retribution since the case was withdrawn. Finally, complaints that Busby is not authorized or practice in the Southern District of New York where many of his clients have filed.

Okay, hold on just a moment, So Tony Busby is backing out of these several cases.

Yes, Nancy, not by his own choice, so jay Z. After this case was dismissed, jay Z still has a defamation suit against Tony Busby, an extortion suit against Tony Busby, but he went so far as to file formal complaints claiming that Buzzby is not allowed to serve as a lawyer in the Southern District of New York, which unfortunately is true. Buzzy is not certified to serve in that district. He is allowed to serve in the Eastern District of New York, but he has not stopped applied for jurisdiction. Stop stop, Joshua Ritter.

This is all technical legal term bs because hasn't anybody heard pro hot and vice.

He doesn't have to be certified there.

He can have a lawyer who is there, bring him on as co counsel, and get approval on an ag ad hot basis.

It happens all the time. So that's not why he's backing out of these cases.

No, you're right, it does happen all the time. It's also not that hard to get yourself admitted into the Southern District of New York, so you can go ahead and file these cases yourself. And as you just pointed out, this is kind of elementary stuff. This is entry level lawyering here, So I you know, the idea that he somehow missed this either speaks to he's in above his head on these cases. I mean, he filed a lot of cases, and to me, this is just not the first step towards handling them professionally, or he just what is unaware that he needed to have himself admitted or like you point out, a pro hoc VJ council appointed for him in those local districts. So I don't get it, and it's it's it's going to be problematic because now you've got all of these clients who are feeling they were represented by one person and he's basically pulling the ripcord and saying I'm out. You're going to have to find some of their lawyer to help yourself out here in New.

York Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. So now Tony Busby, who made quite the splash at the get go, is backing out of the case with his tail between his legs because he says he's not qualified.

Well, he's qualified.

He's not admitted to pridice in that jurisdiction, like I'm not admitted to privtice in Alaska, Okay. But he can be brought in on the case under pro hac vice, which means on an ad hoc basis, you can be brought in even if you're not certified in that jurisdiction. So why is he really backing out? Don't know, but this is where he started.

The biggest secret in the entertainment industry, it really wasn't a secret at all, has finally been revealed to the world. The wall of silence has now been broken and victims are coming forward. Our team has had at this point more than three thousand and two hundred and eighty five individuals contact us with people claiming people claiming to have been victimized by Sean Combs.

That's from the official at Tony Busby on Instagram. But now he's backing out with tail between his legs on multiple cases. But he's staying on on others. All this while seemingly Shawn Combs' defense team is grasping at straws claiming that the Cassie Ventura beat down video was doctorned.

Let's take a look at that video real quick.

This is in a very exclusive resort hotel, Cassie Ventira leaving what she said was a free cough.

And whoa, here he comes down the hall in a towle. Just never gets so old, does it? And wham there you go.

Now excuse me, as we were watching this Sidney Sumner who comes claiming doctored the video.

Yancy, So this video was released exclusively by CNN, and his team claims that the outlet altered the video, that they set it up, that they made some jump cuts so that the assault looks much worse than it really was. Even if that is the case in the version that the public has seen, CNN has now come back and said, of course, we have the original footage with no changes made to it, which is exactly what they turned over to prosecutors when they asked for it.

Dundor Methody Marshall, psychoanalyst. He's claiming that CNN somehow docted it to make it look worse than it really was.

Really, could it be worse than what we saw?

I mean, Sandy has the original, that's what will come in at trial.

This is all bs.

It's like he's saying, well, I only kicked her once. I didn't kick her twice. Okay, I hit her in the eye, but I didn't give her a black eye. He's really minimizing the abuse and Nancy, this is what abusers do. They minimize, they downplay, they.

Act like they really didn't do the abuse.

But this is clear, clear as the day.

All right, blame it on CNN. They made it Lert look worse than it quote really was. I don't think that happened.

And if it weren't true, why with Sean comes say this.

It's so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life. Sometimes you got to do that. I was, I mean, I hit rock bottom, but I made no excuses.

My behavior on that video is inexcusable.

I take full responsibility from my ashes in that video.

So if it's not real, why is he apologizing for it? I'm not hearing him screaming right there that was a doctor.

That's not real.

That is from Diddy's official instapage.

Maxwell and Epstein were with Jetner from Tasting Minor Dunter to travel to Asking.

Your Residences his residence in New York City for.

The Aurey Side, as well as the Homey Flora.

And Sandy Bay and Nico. Some of the ass interviews.

Also took say Maxwell, you residents in love Inde.

You are hearing us attorney for the Southern District of New York. That's Audrey Strauss speaking about Jelaine Maxwell. Why Jelaine Maxwell was a hitch person for Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein basically his pimp, going out and finding young girls for him to abuse. She's sitting behind bars in a federal penitentiary right now. But what does that have to do with Sean Combs everything because of Christina Korum? Is Christina Korum the next co defendant, undisclosed co conspirator or star.

Witness listen Sean Diddy.

Combs's chief of staff, Christina Korum, has been accused of numerous atrocities, from forcing employees to carry drugs or recruit women for freak offs, to standing witness to a gang rape after trying to place an IUD in the victim. Quorum, whom Combs has referred to as his sole sister and right hand, worked for the mogul for more than a decade after previous roles at Paramount Pictures in Burberry. The two were previously close, with Comb's posting a long birthday message for Quorum on Instagram.

Showed out to Joshua Ritter joining us, a high profile criminal defense attorney former prosecutor. You can find him on Quorum Confidential on YouTube. Joshua Korum denies all.

But she's in it. She had to be a witness.

The state is deducing at least a witness to what was going on.

That's his right hand person.

So what will she be an undisclosed unnamed co conspirator. Will she end up being a co defendant on a conspirat under a conspiracy theory eight or and a better theory?

Or will she be the state star witness?

Well, she's smart, She's going to be the state star witness. I mean, you know how this works, Nancy. The government comes to you and they basically give you a choice. Which way do you want to go on this? Do you want to be the United States versus Sean Dittycomb's and yourself? Or do you want to be on the witness list? And do you want to be somebody who testifies against him?

She don't.

I don't think it's really a choice she has. I think she has to say, let me help you, how can I possibly help you? Please tell me where I can sign as a cooperator to testify against this man. And it sounds like if she was as close to him as even he is saying there's a lot of helpful information to the government that she possibly has daughter.

Dwayne Hendrix's jo US, former associate awarden at MDC in Brooklyn. You and I were going around and round about weather Combs has a cell phone, right if he does have that illegal cell phone with him, you don't think he's calling Korum on the phone trying to get her story straight, trying to talk her out of testifying. You don't think that's happening right now. And remember he was already busted trying to intimidate victims and witnesses once before. And you're still sticking with your story he doesn't have a cell phone.

I'm sticking with my story that he does not have a cell phone, and I'm gonna tell you why, because now that he's been outed with the Kanye conversation, if that phone call was not recorded on the federal call system, then they will absolutely know that he would have a cell phone.

And you know what if, Dwayne Hendricks, I think you may be right. I don't think he has a cell phone. I think he's got two. Nancy Gray signing off goodbye, friend
