Chapter 2: What are the surprising allegations about Will Smith?
Like, this is not new because it's from his former assistant and best friend. And I guess people feel like it has to be true. Well, let me ask a question outside of this. Women get offended when you bring up the prenup thing. In Hollywood, typically, the assistant role in the beginning goes to one of your best friends. That's kind of like a thing, I feel like, in entertainment.
Do you give your friend an NDA when they become your assistant? Or an NDA, period? Not really. If it's your real best friend, not industry best friend. If it's like your real best friend and you made it, and then you're like, yo, I'm going to put you on my payroll. You're going to be my assistant. I don't want nobody new around me. Then no, you don't have your real life best friend sign an NDA.
Mm-hmm.
But in Will Smith's case, he may need to have any and everybody around him sign an NDA at this point. Well, is Bebe from West Philly or is this a Hollywood friend? I don't know. It appears he's in Will Smith's book. I saw that clip. But of course, Damaris is the only one that read that. piece of literature. Do you remember hearing about Big Brother Bilal? No, I don't. I can't say that I recall.
Doesn't mean that he wasn't in there. I just, I don't recall. Tim, did you sign an NDA? Yeah. Oh, I don't recall. Must have slipped my memory.
Well, there's more. We cut the audio off kind of short, but there's more context that he provides and he really embellishes it. He said Will was bent over the couch and Dwayne was standing up killing him, murdering. It was murder in there. Let's go.
How long did you have to stay to watch the anal sex to know that he was smoking it? How many strokes before you know he's killing it? Not only that, if you walk in on two guys having sex and nobody knows that they have sex with each other, I don't think that they keep going once you walk in and, like, you aren't even able to tell that he's killing it. Well, hold on.
Maybe Dwayne, they were caught up in the moment. Maybe he was really serving.
Dwayne the Rock.

Chapter 3: What impact did file-sharing services have on the internet?
Being able to share files with strangers ruined the internet. Napster, LimeWire, FrostWire. Yeah.
Chapter 4: How did Soulja Boy influence the music industry?
Soulja Boy made it popular. Well, I mean, he did invent the internet with Al Gore. But Soulja Boy, a million dollars for a verse now.
allegedly is that what i read yeah he did say that you read that in between my uh popcorn popcorn gang gang i did read that headline who's paying soldier boy a million dollars for a verse what's the roi on that i don't know it's not a million dollars it has to be terrible listen six nine paid kodak black a million dollars got no roi on that i thought it was two million for kodak i think it was a million yeah
Kodak looked like he was right in that whole situation. One million. The song did absolutely nothing. That's why I don't think he was right. Just to take the mill and then diss him on the song? You can't, man. Moral's not for sale, man. I don't know. A million dollars sounds kind of nice.
Looks like an update on 6ix9ine. Looks like he was recently detained in the DR for assaulting music producers.
Is he still locked up? I thought that was a skit. No, that was real. That wasn't a Drewski bit. I thought it was. No. So what did he do? He beat up a producer.

Chapter 5: What is the controversy between Benzino and Busta Rhymes?
Yeah, he ran up in a studio, I think, a girl that I think he was dating, a producer, somebody. I don't know. He ran up in there. Him and his crew beat up some producers and thought that they was going to get on a flight and leave DR. And police was like, no, no, no, no. You're wanted for assault. Usually that goes the other way. You assault someone in America and go to DR. Yeah.
Chapter 6: What relationship advice is given regarding proposals?
Benzino alert. He's back at it. Thought you could silence the source God and you cannot, Maul. I'm not trying. I know you were trying, but Benzino will not be silenced. Silence is violence. Listen, man, I understand Benzino in this situation. Give us some context. So Benzino called out Busta Rhymes for Corey, his daughter, Corey LaRae, being half naked in their music video.
He said that he felt like Busta should have reached out to him. And I guess spoke to him about shooting the video or whatever. I understand Benzino's stance. He's just being a dad. He's being a father. Obviously, he knows the dangers in the industry and the things that go on, the things that happens. And I just think he's trying to protect his daughter as best as he can from that.
Corey is obviously... You know, aesthetically, she's very, you know, comfortable with her body. She dresses very, you know, sexy. She wears, you know, things that just show her figure. And it's probably hard for a dad to see his daughter
on the internet like that in videos dressed like that especially when he's around when she's around guys that Benzino's probably the same age as and they know each other and he just knows how this industry is he knows grown men are looking at his daughter but she's been half naked for quite some time it's been years like in every video that she's done for the most part
Instagram, socials, live shows. Yeah, but I think this is just the diss video with Busta. Is now where we're drawing the line? Not draw the line, but I think he just feels like Busta should have you know, just reached out to him like, yo, you know me and Corey shooting the video for the record. Whatever. You know, I just feel like he, you know, he's in a tough, I understand.
He's in a tough spot, man. His daughter is a grown woman now. She's sexy. She's beautiful. You know, men are around her. Men want her. It's just a tough spot for a dad to be in. And especially when you talk about an industry that he came up in and he knows the nasty shit that goes on and how, you know, grown men will, you know, hover over a young girl.
I mean, I could see if they were, like, really dancing with each other in the video or even holding each other like Ja Rule and J-Lo. They're playing fucking hopscotch together and shit. Like, patty cake, whatever the fuck.
Yeah, but don't do that, Rory, because if Amara grows up to be an amazing artist and she's beautiful and she's wearing, you know, very revealing things and she does a song with... I don't know, Reason. Okay. Hopefully he's still in the industry. Hopefully. And Reason is doing the verse on Amara's record.
And Reason doesn't call you and say, yo, I'm doing a video with your daughter, so I'm just giving you the heads up. You would find some type of way. Number one, to kind of kill that scenario, I would know and be at the site. All right, Rory. But Tamal's point is if it's someone that's currently your daughter, your peer.
