0:00 Just know that if he comes out with a um oil, I am going to send a case to your >> Well, it's gonna be sent back empty. >> Oh jeez. >> Hey, honest opinions, everybody. Especially you. >> Say it again. Say it again. XRP. Go ahead. >> Honest opinion. >> Do you think Diddy can make a comeback? >> Oh my god. >> Like the way >> R. Kelly did. >> Actually, let's not even answer that. Don't. It's not can can he, it's how will he? >> I think he's going to really do it. >> Well, step one. >> Step one, they already said he's not really guilty for much. >> Yeah. >> Right. >> No, he got the best possible outcome that he could have got. >> Everyone is like consensual adults. Um,

0:51 even the John said Yeah. like they like Cassie wanted or whatever. So all all the crimes that were thrown on him, everything has pretty much fell off. >> Yeah. But what what can you do about >> But he's still doing like 20 years, right? >> Just got fired, too. >> I'm pretty sure. >> Fired. >> Yeah. Something. Comey. What's her name? >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. The the the daughter of James Comey. >> Yeah. She just got like a >> Mhm. The granddaughter of Martin Comey. >> Stop. >> I thought you were just making that up. >> No, James Comey is a the old FBI director that I think Trump fired. >> Oh, okay. So there's he has did any of the charges stick at all? >> Yeah. Um two of them I think out of the five. >> Probably the nothing ones, right? >> They were the least one. >> Too much baby oil or something. >> Too much baby oil. Yeah. Excessive excessive uses. >> But he was the same prosecutor for Epstein, too. >> Oh.

1:41 >> So, um what do you think he can do about his branding? That's the most important part because his branding is like kind of >> Well, doesn't that help him? Cuz he's supposed to be like a a rapper, right? So, now like the more dirt you have, the better it is. >> But it's like gay style dirt. That usually doesn't help. >> I think it'll be more accepted cuz it is gay. >> He already has a strong following right now of people who support who supported him through the case where they're like, "Oh, he just like he's just a freaky guy." >> Really? >> What the heck? >> Well, that's what I'm saying at this time. I think >> we're saying that. >> I think they really are just being accepted like, "Oh, like did he >> Oh, you think he's scoring LGBT points?" >> Yeah. Just like if you're gay, you're gay. Just say it. Stop trying to hide it. >> Well, it's not that he's gay. It's that he was a gay abuser. If he comes out, look at the look at the crowds we have now. They're gonna still say okay with it. >> If he comes out if he comes out with a new album called Super Freak, I think it'll ████ pop out.

2:32 >> Super Freak. Super. >> That's what people were saying like like some I guess like I heard an opinion I thought was like interesting cuz someone was like, "Dude, if he doesn't put a album or product out right now, then it's like he's missing. >> You should call it the freak off." >> Oh my god. >> Hell yeah. That ████ sound good. >> I'm down. I think nowadays though, it's just like it it almost feels like nah, we could get away with anything. >> But have you seen Army Hammer recently? He did um Piers Morgan. So he got in trouble for like sexual crimes, >> beating the ████ out of a girl, right? >> Cannibalism and all this. >> Turns around and he got convicted for nothing. Does all these interviews where he's like, "I'm just kinky." >> And like these I was cheating on my wife. Hands up. That was bad. But everything else was consensual. We're just into that. and he has like text messages, everything. >> So maybe that one I think was legitimate, but maybe he could turn it

3:23 around if he just went like faux honesty, did a long form interview and really played it like, >> you know, I am just a kinky little guy, you know, this is what I'm into. And like played it on like a long form, super straightfaced, and told like 50% of the truth and just saw where that landed cuz I think a lot of people would buy it. But how do you get around the video that came out? >> Which one? >> Of him dragging and beating her. >> I mean, Chris Brown's not kinky. >> Just don't mention it. >> Don't bring it up. Pay them not to mention it. >> Chris Brown's freaking sold out. >> Is on full effect. >> Yeah. >> I'm actually surprised by how much Chris Brown >> and he beat up somebody way more famous than Cassie. >> Wait, but there was not a video. It was a picture, right? >> Yeah. >> It's not as strong as a literal video. >> Yeah, that's true. That's a literal video. At the end of the day, I think

4:14 people are goldfish >> and people are I think we're in the day of like novelty. >> Like even like our boxing matches, right? It's like a YouTuber versus this guy. >> It's like everything is just like a giant circus now. >> Freak show. >> Yeah. That I I really believe it's we're in the age where like any media or any press is good press now. >> So if they know how to capitalize on it, I think anything can go. >> Sex tapes can make you a billionaire. >> Yeah. It's just a crazy time. It's such a crazy time >> living in the world of like the super spin. >> And honestly, if it's a good song, it doesn't matter who's singing. It's really hard for me not to be like, "God damn, it's >> good." If you're listening to it, you don't even know it's him. >> So, so if Jeffrey Dmer had like a hit single, >> just don't tell me it's him. >> Like R. Kelly, like it stopped for a minute and it came right back on. >> Yeah. And they shouldn't be forgiven,

5:05 but they will be. >> Do you think Do you think R. Kelly's is like beyond repair? his reputation. >> I forgave him instantly. >> Come on. >> Instantly. >> I'm gonna play a song right now and you tell me if he's ████ forgiven or not. That guy is so good, man. >> So, my husband and I were literally contemplating whether or not we should play Stuff in the Name of Love at our wedding. >> You have to. >> We and we we ended up doing it, but we were like, I don't know, should we? I don't know. It looks bad. And like at that time, it was kind of bad. And we were like, but it's really good. >> Then did all your guests like it? >> Of course they did. Everyone likes it. It's such a good song. It's such a good song. At that point, they're just they're just in it for the song, you know? They're not even they don't care about >> separating the artist from the art. >> Separating the what he did from the song. >> Yeah. But now whenever I hear P Diddy, I can't resist but to see Jay-Z sucking him off and then like >> Cassie ████ a bodyguard in a corner and then like just everybody like now I

5:56 see a celebrity in a white party just having an orgy >> and then you hear him going, "It's all about the Benjamins, baby." You know, like and then I'm just like, "Oh s███." >> But I would I don't know. Am I Am I incorrect when I say I think R. Kelly songs are more popular than it is now. >> No. >> Yeah. >> I think it hits a wider range of people. >> I think I think Ignition Remix is way more popular than any P DY song. >> Well, yeah. I mean, like R. Kelly, you you hear it at weddings, you >> P. Diddy is more like >> Yeah. >> Like he's piggybacking off of Biggie Smalls and >> R. Kelly had I believe I can fly. Like that was like >> that's Space Jam, right? >> Yeah. But Diddy's empire is much wider than just his music. >> Oh. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. >> Yeah. Absolutely. >> But man, I don't know if he can. I feel like he's not going to do anything. I feel like he's just going to

6:46 >> He might just have to be quiet for a little bit and then he'll be able to bounce back cuz people forget. >> Yeah, >> 100%. >> Chill out for a couple of years, do a little long form >> cuz that's what Chris Brown did. >> But I do think he came back. >> Yeah.

In terms of career success, Diddy has had more broad and sustained success than R. Kelly, especially when considering music, business, and

7:36 long-term legacy. So, R. Kelly has had 75 million records sold worldwide with major hits like I Believe I Can Fly, Ignition, Bump and Grind. He was considered the king of R&B from '90s to 2000s. Diddy has had over a 100 million records sold. >> Oh, but he's a producer on a 100 million records. >> So, founder of Bad Boy Records, launched Biggie, Mace, Faith Evans, 112. So, that's pretty crazy. His ownership is really broad. >> Kitty's net worth is $800 million. >> My god. >> R. Kelly is 0. >> Does he get no royalties or anything? >> Or negative. >> Damn. >> Maybe he's in debt >> due to lawsuits, legal fees, and poor financial management. >> Dang. >> ████ Zero dollars.

8:26 >> Damn. >> Danny got $800 million. Jeez. >> Needs a Vegas residency right now. Diddy's probably going to be fine, huh? >> I think so. Like in terms of like personal finances, he's probably not going to. >> But you know what's going to happen now? Diddy's going to find all the people that try to ████ him. >> Wo, that sounds crazy. But people that try to mess him up. >> Yeah, I think he's going to get revenge on a lot of people. >> He's going to go crazy and then he's going to be back at Cora. >> But isn't he in jail like for 20 years? His sentence is pretty long. >> Is it 20 years? >> Less than 20. I think it's like up to 10 or something. >> I think it's low. And plus, it's like the whole thing where like for good behavior or whatever, it's probably going to be much shorter. >> Like 5 years and then hey, house arrest after the one. >> Diddy. It'll probably be way shorter than it says. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Probably has special circumstances. I know when Mike Tyson was in jail, he had a big screen TV in his cell. >> Well, Diddy was already riding a scooter

9:16 around. >> That's crazy. >> There's like a video of him with a scooter in like in the >> like on the yard. >> I thought it was a real video. >> A really funny thing to request. >> That's true. Who's Who's going to even try and mess with Tyson, you know? >> Tyson came back pretty hard from his ████ People don't even remember him. >> He's the most beloved like grandpa now. >> Yeah. >> People don't even remember his his past crimes. >> Yeah. >> You know. >> Yeah. But I think a lot of them are like you expect people to be wild boys if they're like rappers or rock stars and then and then >> I think their comeback is much easier than someone who presented to be like wholesome. >> Yeah, that's true. Like Jared from Subway. Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. He's not coming back. He's not going to market another sandwich. >> Yeah, but kid crimes are different. >> Kid crimes, you should be very pushed. >> Yeah. >> If you're throwing like

10:07 >> gay sex parties and then >> What about kid cuddies? You're a kid. >> Yeah. I don't know. That's weird, right? Cuz I think Yeah. Like gay sex crimes or like like Yeah. Part orgy parties, >> forced forced like forced prostitution and all that. That's a little bit different. >> Yeah. than like kids or like weird like there's certain crimes I feel like you can't come back from. >> I think it just changes his market in a way like like you know what I mean like hardcore hip-hop people are obviously going to just call him gay now. >> Yeah. >> But like in terms of sensationalism >> everybody ████ knows him now >> you know but it's just going to rebrand. >> It's like when uh when they were selling the ear from the Tyson Holyfield fight, you know what I mean? That's kind of supposed to be a bad thing, but it became a funny >> like merch thing. enough time between it. >> Yeah. What would be the merch? The babe

10:57 oil. >> Definitely brand oil. >> Come out with his own oil. >> Lube. People will buy it. People will probably buy it just for like s████ and giggles. >> Exactly. It's like a gag. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> In the future some people during Halloween might have white parties >> as a parody. >> All white parties. Yeah. >> Yeah. People >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Or just like a freakoff kit. Just know that if he comes out with a um oil, I am going to send a case to your >> ass. Well, it's going to be sent back empty. Oh jeez. Ew.
