Actually even met and they have Judgments about situations that they Have no knowledge of and like I said I Can't speak on everybody's dealings with Other people some people have good Experiences with people some people have Bad experience people that's like Somebody might have a bad experience With me and they might tell somebody Like yo I hate him and then somebody Else I might be the best person in the World and both of those people might be True Both of them might both of them might be Telling the truth right but it's like I Can only judge somebody on on my Experiences with them so my experiences With The whole Combs Enterprises situation Has been nothing but good from his head Of security faheem To Dion To the tavio I revolt To all of them like they all black People they're all young his whole staff Let's keep it real Yeah probably better I just feel like you know from from what I've seen it's been good business it's Been a bunch of black people That's working with other black people That's been helpful that's been Beneficial Um and I have I haven't seen anything

Like it else I haven't seen the Infrastructure that they have The resources that they have and just The all-black infrastructure like as far As the people I have not seen anything Else like it I just haven't so look you know like I Said we we criticize things that we Don't necessarily have full information On Um And I just think that it's better to be Informed before you before you speak Because it's like sometimes you're Saying things and you're not fully Informed on what you're saying and You're going off of what somebody else Is telling you but they might be Misinformed mm-hmm And even before they got the new slave Shows uh I was talking to chat try to Chat appreciate your brother when he Told me what puff structure was like a Revolt on like the deal side I was like what I'm not gonna say the Number but I said what he said imagine If you get 15 more hit shows That number was he talked to us about Some percentages on some other deals too Man shout out to him new music on the Way hey Shout out to Diddy man music sound Incredible too they sound incredible Yeah speak on what you want one of my

Number one things going to holidays and I wrap here Um Number one always ask God for what you Want and number two my favorite prayer In holidays is For those who are not for me US my Friends family in a circle please clear Out who was not meant to be there you'll Be surprised when you ask God to clear Out those who are not meant to be there And to give you what you want how fast That arrives you don't know who's going To Advocate even for Peter like to wheel Me around and take take me to every Station I did fintech TV like he made Him do an interview I've seen Steve grab you all in the same Way Sure Love's going to do the same thing Um I think every person on Earth is going To get maybe two or three angels to help Guide them I will say this is the person who has Made this mistake too when God reveals Who should be in and who should be out You can't ask for the prayer to be Answered then you don't listen Because a lot of times the biggest thing That will hold you back is not having The right people and you're in a circle So be mindful of that but ask for what You want and you will receive that's why

I always tell you I know people think That I'm ranting about this but when I Walked in that boardroom and met her I Didn't think it was a ramp they said you Figured everything out consultant would Without us hiring KPMG Speak on what you want no way out three Next year whatever other deal y'all got Going we're just gonna put no way out Three on top of it to celebrate And what's up [Music]
