Thank you for having me, guys. You know, that's a great entrance right there.

So it's not a flat out dismissal. The judge dismissed five of the eight counts there. I mean, the judge, he pretty much slam dunked the attorney. He's pretty much saying, you realize that defendants are innocent until proven guilty. And he kind of slapped him down. You don't really want that as an attorney, especially in papers where anybody in the country or the world can read this.

So he really embarrassed the attorney for Little Rob, but he deserved to be embarrassed because if you can't figure that part out of the law, you probably shouldn't be practicing law. That really was stunning to me, in my opinion. But the facts of the case, reading it, It was very weak to begin with, and you could kind of tell that was a money grab.

This was about him not getting royalties from Diddy from a video that they did in 22, I want to say it was. It just didn't add up, you know? And if a judge throws it away, prior to it even getting to a trial. I don't think that is the case. The judge thinks it's the case. So no jury probably would have convicted Diddy on this.

So everybody saw, especially the judge, that this was really a frivolous lawsuit.

So everybody saw, especially the judge, that this was really a frivolous lawsuit.

It was. But and also remember, Marjorie, this was not like the first lawsuit. This was towards the end of the lawsuit train, if you will, for Diddy. So, you know, this guy, he's just pretty much piling on whatever else he's heard and all these other allegations. But then the big thing is that he has a retribution where he wasn't paid for his royalties.

So I think this is kind of a payback for him to Diddy, although it didn't really turn out that way for him.

It could. It certainly could. Now, remember, some of these are put in different jurisdictions. So, you know, you can't ever say what one judge is going to do compared to another one. And every lawsuit's different. Every lawsuit has a different set of facts, even though they're going to have the same defendant and potentially the same allegations

But certain facts are going to be stronger in some of the lawsuits and weaker in others. So I wouldn't say that I'm going to be surprised if there's going to be other ones that are dismissed. However, there's a ton of lawsuits right now against Diddy. Having them all dismissed, I don't think that's realistic and I don't think that's going to happen.
