Speaker 1: new spot.

Speaker 1: not just saying it's dope because men, but it really
Speaker 1: is though. So here's the concept. The concept is you know.
Speaker 1: It's art, it's creative, it's intimate, it's elevated, it's very grown,
Speaker 1: very sexy. But the DJ only plays music, spins music
Speaker 1: from vinyls fire and it not even just DJs, but
Speaker 1: like tastemakers, like music taste makers and conversational the lists

Speaker 2: So that was fire.
Speaker 1: But there were a ton of performances. A funny moment,
Speaker 1: I thought, uh, French Montana. There was a fan that
Speaker 1: was recording French Montana. And when I tell y'all, the
Speaker 1: best thing about Angie summer barbecues. And this is my
Speaker 1: second year going, and each year consistently, the best thing
Speaker 1: has been the energy of the people, Like y'all. It
Speaker 1: was hot as hell out that's probably one hundred degrees outside.
Speaker 1: I was in a one piece like shorts, it's short shorts,
Speaker 1: and I was sweating like I was hot. I was
Speaker 1: exhausted and they had been out there all day long.
Speaker 1: Hennessy was her sponsor. So they drink and they having
Speaker 1: a good time. She had all the photo situations set
Speaker 1: up you could do like you know, various photo content.
Speaker 2: There was food. There actually was barbecue food. I didn't
Speaker 2: think that there was.
Speaker 1: Just asked me that on the breakfast club and I
Speaker 1: didn't know that that was barbecue fool because when were
Speaker 1: at in the VIP there was like lamb chop and
Speaker 1: all these things, but there was actual barbecue fool too.
Speaker 2: But the fans and the energy was was crazy.
Speaker 1: Now moving on into the latest because this moment from
Speaker 1: the barbecue actually made news. Remy For those of you
Speaker 1: guys who are not familiar with you know Remy Ma's
Speaker 1: current dating status. Remy Ma is single, okay, rememby rapper
Speaker 1: music artists. She's getting into the TV lane of things
Speaker 1: to talk to lane and things. She was on stage
Speaker 1: and she responded and threw some shots at her now
Speaker 1: strange husband, pepoofs, rapper from New York, who is currently
Speaker 1: dating Clarissa Shields, who is a female boxer. They call
Speaker 1: it a vote, you guys, we've talked about Clarissa here before.
Speaker 1: We've talked about Clarisa and the Breakfast Club as well too.
Speaker 1: There was like such a big back and forth with
Speaker 1: them about a year or so ago. For background context, Uh,
Speaker 1: Pet Poofs had been married for oh my god, it's
Speaker 1: been forever, and at one point like they were token
Speaker 1: black love.
Speaker 2: Like that was literally the slogan. It was black love.
Speaker 1: Remi Ma went to you know, she was locked up
Speaker 1: for some time and Pat Poos, you know, as the
Speaker 1: story goes, held her down, made sure she was straight,
Speaker 1: her children were straight that we knew of came home,
Speaker 1: they were together. Uh, they welcomed a new baby, and
Speaker 1: I don't know where things went left, but we found
Speaker 1: out about a year or so ago. I remember it
Speaker 1: was during the time I was doing the Diddy trial
Speaker 1: because I remember, I just remember that time period. So
Speaker 1: that's how long ago it was we found out that
Speaker 1: pet Poofs was actually dating Crisa's Shields. And the reason
Speaker 1: why this was like oh shit, because it was like
Speaker 1: and I don't even cuss, but like that literally was
Speaker 1: the feeling. I don't cuss on the podcast anyway, that
Speaker 1: was the feeling because you know that we had known
Speaker 1: Pat Poofs and Remy had been together forever, like twenty years.
Speaker 1: Ain't no joke, okay, And even like I like I
Speaker 1: had heard, you know, rumors that you know, Remy was
Speaker 1: dating somebody knew another bat like a battle rapper I
Speaker 1: got out of Philly. There have been a little rumblings
Speaker 1: of things, but nothing confirmed, and they kept it so
Speaker 1: in the house.
Speaker 2: It was like you was never going to know.
Speaker 1: And because they kept it so in house, I thought that,
Speaker 1: you know, even if there was something going on, it
Speaker 1: was gonna be something that was gonna work out and
Speaker 1: move on. Uh.
Speaker 2: That did not happen.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: Clarissa Shields and Remy and pet Poofs ended up, you know,
Speaker 1: having this like big back and forth fall line. Fast forward,
Speaker 1: Remy a single and she is responding to pet Poofs
Speaker 1: and Clarissa because Clarissa did an interview down Atlanta with
Speaker 1: Young Jack and Miss shat Nika on morning Streets or
Speaker 1: Streets in the Mornings with Jack and Shaanika where she
Speaker 1: brought Remy up in comparison to people talking about her
Speaker 1: and pet Poofs because that we know Pet Poo's filed
Speaker 1: for divorce, but nothing has been part along just Ta gonna.
Speaker 2: Say, like, real question, because I didn't been here before.
Speaker 6: How much longer are you willing to be in a
Speaker 6: relationship with somebody's.
Speaker 1: Husbands, Because at the end of the day, that's what people.
Speaker 4: Are looking at.
Speaker 6: Well pause, okay, pause, because that's not somebody's husband. Pat
Speaker 6: Pools filed for divorce. Y'all hate to say that word,
Speaker 6: but it's the word that's out there. He filed for
Speaker 6: divorce because he's serious about me. Oh, I'm not with
Speaker 6: somebody's husband. And if you're gonna call him her husband,
Speaker 6: make sure you call her his wife and also hold
Speaker 6: her accountable for what she's doing in her life because
Speaker 6: she hasn't who she's big about. So don't make it
Speaker 6: seem like it's just one sided. I'm not with somebody's husband.
Speaker 6: I'm with the man who filed for divorce, who's serious
Speaker 6: about me, who has done things for me that I've
Speaker 6: done for him.
Speaker 2: So that's not what it is.
Speaker 6: They say that because they want that to be the narrative,
Speaker 6: but that's not it. People go through divorces and break
Speaker 6: ups more than anything in the world.
Speaker 2: That's why it's such a big talk. I just got
Speaker 2: im one right now.
Speaker 1: Really said I remember I told y'all that that was
Speaker 1: our whole big back and forth between Remy and and
Speaker 1: Patpoos and Clarissa online. Remy said then anytime her name
Speaker 1: was brought up, she was going to respond. She was
Speaker 1: going to mind her business in the midst of it
Speaker 1: and focus on was you know what I mean? Focus
Speaker 1: on was for her. But anytime her name was brought up,
Speaker 1: she was going to respond, and she used the stage
Speaker 1: at anjer Martinez's barbecue to do. So let's take a
Speaker 1: listen further clabify.
Speaker 5: I'll be singing the single when they can stop asking
Speaker 5: for half, but that's between me and y'all. Come on,
Speaker 5: can't half a.
Speaker 4: Y'all yogo ship? You keep jumping on my like a.
Speaker 5: Someone even know that the.
Speaker 7: Motion was so so tick since I was wearing anybody else,
Speaker 7: you act like you help.
Speaker 1: And Remy got a project dropping in August, So at
Speaker 1: this point, I don't know. I think we might get
Speaker 1: we might get some more conversation, Like we might get
Speaker 1: some more conversation around this, because I think one of
Speaker 1: the biggest questions that you have with Remy, Mat and
Speaker 1: Peppos is like where did it go wrong?
Speaker 2: Like what happened.
Speaker 1: It's totally fine if y'all choose to move on, Like,
Speaker 1: who are we to tell y'all not to. But I
Speaker 1: think the public, we were all under this perception that
Speaker 1: they were like locked in, ain't know switching up, Like
Speaker 1: no matter what went down, they were going to figure
Speaker 1: it out. I mean, that's what a marriage typically is,
Speaker 1: especially because it welcomed their their new baby at the time.
Speaker 1: She's been older now, but at the time, you know,
Speaker 1: their baby was younger, So I don't know, it confused
Speaker 1: a lot of people. It definitely confused a lot of
Speaker 1: people when this happened. But the girls is outside. I
Speaker 1: won't say though this is my first time meeting Remy,
Speaker 1: I didn't even really get it get to meet her.
Speaker 2: Like I spoke to her. We were doing a.
Speaker 1: Stream online and she just like stopped by the shed
Speaker 1: even stopped by, she was like walking by, so she
Speaker 1: like popped in a stream, moved just dancing.
Speaker 2: Her energy was up.
Speaker 1: She was in great spirits, so she I mean, it's
Speaker 1: not given she mad about nothing like right now. But
Speaker 1: I think everybody's talking from their own narratives. I mean,
Speaker 1: and to be fair, Carissa was asked about Remy y'all
Speaker 1: heard the question she was asked, and she answered the question.
Speaker 2: I saw another clip.
Speaker 1: Where she was somewhere promoting her fight because she has
Speaker 1: a fight in Atlanta August fifteenth. She actually just announced
Speaker 1: that a Lota was gonna be bringing her out, which
Speaker 1: is super dope because Lotto mentioned Clarisa in the song
Speaker 1: you know Clarissa patpoos.
Speaker 2: The whole thing s tifting gears a bit.
Speaker 1: Though, let's talk about Chris Brown completely shifting gears. One
Speaker 1: thing is not related to the other. So Chris Brown, y'all,
Speaker 1: there has been a huge ongoing legal fight with Chris Brown.
Speaker 1: This one is involving a woman, a dog, her family,
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, and his security guards. So for a background,
Speaker 1: there was a housekeeper that was working at Chris Brown's
Speaker 1: house who was allegedly attacked by a security dog. Now,
Speaker 1: the security dog you know attacked her. The Chris Brown
Speaker 1: you know says he was in the shower. He testified
Speaker 1: during the trial. He says that he was in the shower,
Speaker 1: he heard all the noise, came downstairs, found the woman
Speaker 1: bloody like skin lifting off of her face, and it
Speaker 1: was just a mess. He admitted to not calling an ambulance,
Speaker 1: you know, the police right away because he is Chris Brown,
Speaker 1: and he didn't want it to be like a media
Speaker 1: news circuit. So he got out of there and his
Speaker 1: team handled it, and I mean, he admitted that it happened,
Speaker 1: you know, and he admitted even you know, a while
Speaker 1: in court that at one point, like when they first
Speaker 1: ran out and saw her, they didn't even know she
Speaker 1: was breathing, and to make sure she was breathing. Now,
Speaker 1: in the midst of this trial, there was a mistrial
Speaker 1: that had happened because I'm sorry, they had to redo
Speaker 1: their jurey selection because there was a juror on the
Speaker 1: trial who was using the Internet to look up certain
Speaker 1: things about the case or whatever, and that wasn't gonna fly.
Speaker 1: But it ended up where Chris Brown was awarded I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: not Chris Brown, the housekeeper was awarded thirteen million dollars.
Speaker 1: That was a missed you know, claims that she was
Speaker 1: like under you know, duress and certain things and in
Speaker 1: certain ways, her life her life now have been changed
Speaker 1: from this dog attack, but also the life of her
Speaker 1: sister and her husband as well, who were you know,
Speaker 1: on the premises founder have experienced you know, different things
Speaker 1: with her even following this attack, because things are so
Speaker 1: different for her following the trauma of the attack, according
Speaker 1: and alleged by the victim. Now, Chris Brown is like,
Speaker 1: at first, this woman just followed documents last week and
Speaker 1: she was asking for a judge to make Chris Brown
Speaker 1: pay up the thirteen million dollars. She's like, I don't
Speaker 1: care how we get it. I know he owned this
Speaker 1: big tour right now with usher, make him pay up.
Speaker 1: Even prior to that last request of like, make him
Speaker 1: pay up if even from that tour, the housekeeper's lawyer
Speaker 1: was trying to imply things like Chris Brown did not care,
Speaker 1: Like he's back out on tour. He doesn't care. He's
Speaker 1: moved on, he's living his life. Now Chris Brown's side
Speaker 1: has you know, they've responded and they are one hundred
Speaker 1: percent like, look, there's been a lot that has happened
Speaker 1: in this case that was not correct, that was not
Speaker 1: fairly done, including the juror misconduct and other things. And
Speaker 1: they want thirteen million dollars as a verdict to be
Speaker 1: thrown out. They want to have a brand new trial,
Speaker 1: and they say that the verdict should be tossed out.
Speaker 1: So Chris Brown seemen saying, look, the proceedings were very irregular,
Speaker 1: which prevented him from having a fair trial. There was
Speaker 1: jury misconduct what I told you guys about with the
Speaker 1: durer looking up stuff on the internet.
Speaker 2: They cite insufficient new findings.
Speaker 1: That proof is innocence, So that means that they have
Speaker 1: some evidence that they feel like if they had known
Speaker 1: about before, could be presented or you know, things that
Speaker 1: they might argue the housekeeper side knew about but maybe
Speaker 1: didn't present to them in the best.
Speaker 2: Way so that they had the best time to prepare.
Speaker 1: They also mentioned an excessive amount of damages for the
Speaker 1: plaintiffs and a few other things. But basically they're like,
Speaker 1: this is too much money, and that was the argument,
Speaker 1: Like they had said, Okay, this did happen. Chris Brown
Speaker 1: testified it did happen. And I think him testifying was,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to show the judge like I know
Speaker 1: something happened, but like, you know, like take it easy
Speaker 1: on me, like I didn't sit the dog on the
Speaker 1: woman just here, because it happened, and I know that
Speaker 1: it was messed up and we're happy. She okay, but
Speaker 1: thirteen million dollars no judge, so that they're trying to
Speaker 1: get a smaller number and last time, you know, the
Speaker 1: last filing that happened in this case prior to Chris
Speaker 1: Brown responding with, Yo, this needs to be less money.
Speaker 1: Let's start a new trial again. The woman was basically
Speaker 1: saying Chris Brown was avoiding trying to pay the money.
Speaker 1: And even then that made me start thinking a question
Speaker 1: because at first I'm like, can you appeal this because
Speaker 1: he got on stand and said that it happened. But
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, he can appeal the amount though and
Speaker 1: bringing any new information, that's exactly what he's doing. So
Speaker 1: we'll keep you guys posted, let you know what comes
Speaker 1: of this, if anything. And summertime still here, y'all. We
Speaker 1: got about what another four weeks of the summer to
Speaker 1: be running around and be the latest on location. We
