EXCLUSIVE | Stefon Diggs SUES his Ex Stylist! | Chris Blake Tells All!

You and Stefon Diggs have known each other since Baltimore. Notch, you brought the receipt. He got the receipt back.

This is actually a translucent Hermès invitation from that of a show in 1997.

OK.

They gifted this to everybody in attendance, so they're pretty rare.

OK.

This is a Hermès bag. And these are what we'll call the Diggs Files.

The Stefon Diggs Files.

I'm done.

How did he drug you? Like, how does that happen?

Drugged me?

Like, I've seen it.

Had me beaten. Had sent people to my crib. We pull up to the house. When we pull up to the house, he talking to me about all the girls that he got in the house. 20 girls.

And you said they were all Spanish?

Spanish girls that barely even spoke English. Like, I don't know. I remember for a point in time he was doing like Duolingo, like learning a word a day, a few words a day. But he was like very consistent in making sure that he took his Duolingo lessons. And he was like, you know, a year straight or some shit like that. But it made sense once I finally got to his crib, seeing how Holmes was living. Oh, I see why you taking your Spanish lessons, so and so.

Traditional but kind of untraditional interview here. All right, so, um, you're the second, I would say, like, stylist, trendsetter that we've interviewed. Like I told you, we had Diddy's, um, head of, uh, design with us, and, uh, he spilled a lot of behind the scenes, uh, why that happened, uh, while he was at Sean John, and even some of the things that he's observed, um, you know, just kind of working around a lot of celebrities and working for big companies. I think he worked for Fubu and, you know, other designers like that. And so, you know, when your story popped up online, um, tying it together that, you know, you are— it's like we see the celebrities and we see their final looks and we're like, damn, they look good. But we never put in mind, like, well, who did all that? They didn't just wake up looking like that. And it's people such as yourself, Chris Blake. Indeed. Okay.

Yeah.

How long you been doing this?

Uh, probably since like as long as I can remember. If I'm documenting it down on paper, probably like 12, 13, 14 years old, something like that.

Wow, you look so young.

I appreciate it. I'm 32.

Okay, you are young. Yeah, yeah, you are young. Diamonds really in your mouth.

Indeed.

Okay, okay. Who's—

who—

this fit here, did you design this? Is this your own design?

Actually, these are, uh, Off-White Jordan 1s from Virgil's, uh, the Tank collection at Nike.

Oh wow, rest in peace to Virgil. Yeah, they mean a lot to me, uh, Carpenter is done by me.

Little work I do with a brand called Carhartt. We kind of like rework workwear. I come from a long line of guys like longshoremen, plumbers, carpenters, things of that nature. So to be able to like leverage the workwear, and you see Chrome Hearts does a lot of that too, where you leverage the workwear and you give it more of an elevated feel where it's like you might be deemed a pretty boy or polished because of your accessories and things of that nature. But in reality, I could walk on a construction site and be good to go with anybody.

Yeah, they look pretty durable.

I appreciate it. And, uh, this is—

you got to coordinate. You got the belt. This is actually— you see a lot of people—

this belt went crazy because it's okay. It's a store out of New York right now, a boutique in SoHo called Manahatta.

That looks Mexican. It looks very—

when they were making the belts, they did two of these specifically. If you look across like social media right now, you see all the guys doing the tunnel walks walking in with this belt. It's kind of like the it belt of today.

Okay.

But probably like two years ago, they sent— they made two of these. One for me, one for Odell. Odell did his like the beginning of the season. Me, I'm in the streets, so they gave it to me.

And it says For Chris Blake on the back.

For Chris Blake by Manahatta. But this is like snakeskin leather combination, so on and so forth. You can go on the store.

And I see the stones.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's a really good brand, really good boutique, and they did a one of one for me, or one of two for me. So I'm really appreciative of that. It was a birthday gift. And then this is a reworked vintage T from my brand, Static Passion Creative. It's a creative agency, but we do a lot of different projects, work with a lot of different people. So in order to get my ideas out, I just kind of run everything through that channel. Wow.

So go ahead, name off everybody that you've worked with in the industry that we love, some we don't love, but it doesn't matter.

Um, we kind of start from the beginning. You want brands or individuals?

We can start with brands and individuals.

Uh, some notes—

we're here because of a certain individual, but You know, we want to establish your credibility and who you are before, you know, of course the winos is here, we're here for the messy shit, but you know, we just want to— yes, resume out there.

I got my start, um, in the dressing rooms back in the— I come from Baltimore, Maryland, so, uh, back in the day I got my start just kind of like traveling up to DC, different events like Sneaker Pimps, uh, Baltimore Sneaker Show, so on and so forth, any type of forum where I could get a fit off and be noticed. I used to get really frustrated growing up in a city like Baltimore where I would put a lot of time and energy into my fit, or a lot of time and energy into studying what a good fit is, rather. So by the time I got to get dressed, it don't take me but so long, but I put all this energy into a certain image, a certain aesthetic that I really, really, really wanted a warranted response from, and I wasn't getting it when I walked out in the stores until I started traveling more. And thank God to my mom who was able to make sure we hit the highway, make sure we saw more, take a little weekend trip to Atlanta, even if we had to drive, take a weekend trip to DC, stay in hotels, even though we only 45 minutes away, you know, just see the world a little, just a tad differently. And when I started going to these major cities, when I would get dressed, I got a different response than what I got at home. So it gave me a little bit more confidence. And then as I started standing in line for the sneaks and stuff like that, different Jordans, Kanye's first shoe, the Air Yeezy 1, so on and so forth. I started mixing and mingling with a lot of different people who had, you know, similar taste level and mindset as me, and they saw what I was putting on and taking pictures and things of that nature, and it started like translating and finding its hand, finding its way into the hands of very influential figures in my area, and they gave me a shot. So next thing you know, I'm on stage with Wale. I'm 14, 15 years old.

Wale, when he, when he first got popping? Yeah, in these, out of DC, with the Nike Boots song.

And yeah, that's crazy.

We know who Wale is, okay? I like Kai.

All right, so, so, yeah, so even the Nike Boots song, like, I was one of them kids on MySpace pressing refresh when Nike Boots was supposed to— it was supposed to come out at a specific time, maybe like 5 PM or something like that, don't quote me. But the dude Sneaker Man Dan, who was actually doing the upload, told me a couple years later— he's a good friend of mine— told me a couple years later that he was like smoking and doing this, that, and the third while he was supposed to be uploading at this one specific time. Meanwhile, I'm this kid in an apartment pressing refresh, refresh, refresh, waiting for this song to come out. And then eventually Lil Wayne went and did the remix the Nike boots. I'm giving all the Wale tea right now. And my mom ended up taking me to DC. It was a boutique called Commonwealth and Wale had just did this collaboration with a brand called, streetwear brand called 10 Deep. And if you bought the t-shirt, you got the mixtape with it. So at my dad's storage right now to this day, I still have like the hard copy of the mixtape About Nothing. I still have my 10 Deep t-shirt from all of that time. And when I was coming up, I studied, like I would go on Nice Kicks and read every article, every column, whether I liked it or not. I would read Vibe magazine, XXL magazine, just kind of crafting my mind. I grew up in church, so I wasn't able to listen to secular music despite the fact that the roots of R&B are that of the church, you know. So that's very true.

Yeah, shout out to Mama Blake too for holding it down.

No, for sure.

She's a wino too. Yeah, you drink wine?

I do.

Okay, cool. Your mama is gonna be okay with you? It's fine. Okay, all right. I just want to tell the winos that our fellow wino allowed her son sit here and give us all this good wine we're going to be drinking today. Let me go ahead. So I'm actually pouring this wrong. I need to pour it all proper though. But this is the Chloe Pinot Noir.

Beautiful.

Okay. It's a very inexpensive but very high quality Pinot Noir.

Somali Atasha K. Yes.

People who don't like red wine, I always give them a Pinot Noir because it's slightly sweet.

Indeed.

Or a Petite Syrah or a Malbec. So, but cheers. Indeed. All right, cool. So, um, your first big, let's just say, job in fashion?

Yeah, first one. Yeah, I think the moment that kind of shifted things for me was when Under Armour reached out to start like seeding me product. I was in college at the time working at Finish Line, and Finish Line was also seeding me product. They're seeding me product because I was doing my thing on like Instagram and stuff like that, taking cool pictures or taking time to take pictures and tagging them for free. So it lands on their radar, so on and so forth. They like what I'm doing. Let's send him, send this guy a couple of boxes. Oh, he's in one of our stores. This is his like allowance or whatever the case is. So by the time Under Armour landed on my desk, I'm going into like my first semester of my junior year, just transferred to University of Maryland, so on and so forth. And they brought me down for a tour. They just wanted me to see the facility. And at this time they're thinking that, you know, I'm pursuing my degree, so on and so forth. But what really happened after having like a day worth of conversations and they figured out like where my mind was at that point in time, almost like a high school athlete going straight to the league as opposed to going to college, they saw things in me that I really didn't know I possessed at that point in time and they were ready to go. So they went back to the HR, revised the job description to be able to bring me in without even having a degree. Groomed me to the point to be able to run the entertainment marketing division of the company where I went on to sign, you know, Dwayne Johnson. We did ASAP Rocky's deal. We did Javonte Davis's deal. And that allowed me to become more of a professional within the space as a little snotty-nosed kid running around getting fly in these dressing rooms and things like that. Because even when Wale got his deal, Meek was around. I brought Big Sean to Baltimore with my refund check my freshman year through a concert. Yeah, yeah. He had Finally Famous Volume 3 around that time. And we had like a Baltimore acts open up, King Lowe's, Fat Trail in DC, so on and so forth, was like the opening acts. We rented a car, I'm driving them around in the car, car service with my man KC, so on and so forth, doing it all ourselves. So by the time I got to Under Armour, I wasn't that snotty nose kid no more. Now I got, you know, a 7-figure-plus budget to the point where I can cut you a check if you popping enough. And I built my name at that company because even though it didn't have the cachet of relevance as far as like nostalgic product, they don't have a Jordan 1 from 1985, they don't have an Air Force 1 from 1985, '82, so on and so forth. So I felt like the company needed to transcend itself in the direction of like being a launching pad for that of the future, people who had good ideas for the future. So that's what I focused on. And I knew I could get in by like all these guys on tour that were like similar to my age, Quavo, Long Live Takeoff, Offset, so on and so forth. We developed these relationships because these guys were on tour. What do you need on tour? Fresh underwear, fresh socks, fresh white t-shirts. Every single day, and I'm working with, you know, their assistants, like, uh, I think his name is Danny Zook, who was working with Migos at the time. And I'm making sure that all of the tour dates are aligned with that of, uh, my package is showing up. So even if it's just socks, white tees, and underwear, Chris sent you that. Chris Blix sent you that, you know what I mean? So as you're going through this tour, you don't have to worry about the simple things like fresh undergarments. And if you start, you know, going down the path of like, uh, wanting to step in the direction of like a fitness journey, I can send you all of the athleisure you need at that point in time. And then we started doing more cool things like Under Armour sportswear designed by Tim Coppens, who studied under Ralph Lauren. The Rocky situation kind of fell by the wayside because much like most brands, they try to mute the creative.

You talking about ASAP Rocky?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm talking about ASAP Rocky, yeah. Most brands, when they bring in a creative individual, sometimes can be tone deaf in the sense that they don't really know who they're dealing with. Rocky is not just the type of person that's like, you're going to take this water bottle and put ASAP Rocky on it and he's down. That's not really how it's going to go. He's probably going to want to inscribe his name in the cap. The bottle shape might be different, things like that, because he's a real creative. He takes the time, much like myself, in the realm.

So you're saying he dressed— he's very detailed?

Very much so. He gonna take a fine-tooth comb.

So, so the, the, the shoes, the little female shoes that he wearing out here—

I can't speak that.

He did me not too long long ago.

He did, just telling me how proud he was of me and how I was stepping out here and doing my thing and to keep it going, so on and so forth.

Um, but yeah, he is a, um, fashionist. Him, he wears it, he, he breathes it. I think he did piss a lot of people off when he came out with them church shoes.

Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about. Yeah, it was like, I can't speak to that.

What are you doing? So, but you ain't— Chris Blake ain't—

No, no, no, no, no. Okay, sometimes people make personal decisions and it literally got to be just them. But when you deal with a guy like, right, like my— like me, right? It don't take me a long time to get dressed. So he might have been, you know, putting his fit together, seeing them shits on the floor, and was like, this is what we going with today, I don't care. He might have had a good glass of wine just then and there, was like, you know what, fuck it, this is what I'm on right now. Like Kanye when he was in, uh, Paris and he was making his debut, and he had to make his debut on the scene for the first time in a minute. He came out with the black socks with the thong toe sandals that had like crystal bedazzles all over them and a leather trench coat. That's just how he was feeling that day. And if you walk with the proper confidence and don't let you have a tag on it that come with a certain ilk or a certain level of like status, whether it be Yves Saint Laurent or Louis Vuitton, you just put the tag on it to change everything.

What you're speaking to me is just like, you know how somebody is not a math guru and they see a math equation and it's like, what the fuck am I looking at? It's like foreign. Fashion is like that to me. I get roasted all the time for my fashion. So like the fact that we roast you know, ASAP and everybody, I'm like, I get roasted the most because I like, I just, I just don't understand it. Like when I look at stuff like that, I'm like, okay, it's cool. I like, I like it. I see. But like, what is fashion? Like, how do you put it together?

I honestly believe it's got to be somewhat of a sixth sense because a lot of what I do, it feels easy to me. And it took me damn near a decade plus for me to really, really, really hone in and realize that the things that came easy to me were that of a gift and not something that everybody possessed. So I, I really started diving.

It is definitely a gift. It is that you have to have a sight for it.

Yeah, much like you in the content space.

Yeah, I guess we're in the same boat. So, you know, and I need somebody— like I said, I need somebody because I asked you when you came in, I was like, do you dress women? And you were like, yeah. And then when you start rolling off names like Teyana Taylor, I love the way she dressed. I love the way, um, what's the ex-Beyoncé, uh, member? Latoya Luckett. Yes, I love Latoya Luckett's style.

Very classy.

I like Keyshia Cole's sometimes. Lately here she's been getting a little extra provocative. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, but back in the day, like her streetwear, leather jackets, jeans, boots, like that's kind of like my style and aesthetic, which seems easy to do, but like when you in there trying to pick it out, to me it's, it's like— let me take this bracelet off because it keeps clicking. Um, when you in there and you're trying to— it's like Man, let me just put on a pair of tights, a shirt, and some heels, and I'm out.

Like, so for that specifically, you attack that— in my head, just hearing what you like, yeah, you'll get a few good pairs of boots, you'll get a few good jackets that you really like, you get some vintage Levi's to fill in that in-between space if you want to mix and mingle with leggings.

Levi's?

Vintage Levi's, not new Levi's. Okay, don't go in Kohl's. That's not what I'm doing. Like, even, uh, I hate to bring it up, but the Beyoncé ads— Beyoncé sourcing like vintage Levi's. She runs current Levi's ads to launch new product. But the real wave is that of vintage Levi's. Even if you take a brand like Chrome Hearts, right? Yeah, they do all of their denim. So, well, Gallery Department popped off. I'm not sure if you ever heard of that brand.

No, no.

So Gallery Department popped off during the pandemic. But it was really just, for me, they piqued my interest because they were doing a lot of the denim sourcing for Chrome Hearts. But those vintage Levi's mean a lot to the community of like anybody who collects vintage. The jeans last forever. The older they are, the better they look. Yeah, damn near. Like, and they last forever. I love bell bottoms though, but I was told because of my body shape, because I'm short. Sure.

Bell bottoms is for tall girls.

Yeah, yeah, I get it.

I'm short.

Yeah.

So my bell bottoms always like rub the ground.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I get it. Yeah, yeah. Kevin Hart, he always finds a way to be able to exist within the current times, even though his height is his height. It's just proper tailoring. That's it. Like I said, you just got to have the right conversations with the people who can make the clothes for you. And it's not a problem, man.

So some of the names, some of the big names, I know you named off a lot there, but just off the top of your head, some of the fated, like, some of your, I guess, maybe the, the people that you just love to work with?

Uh, I mean, for a long time I really, really loved working with Drake. That was a really, really good relationship.

Okay.

Yeah. So yeah, I really, really love—

did he have like a, did he have a BBL? They said Drake—

I can't account for that. But what I can account for is the fact that Uh, when I was going through hard times, when, when I Handle Money and I was in New York for extended periods of time, because when I was working with Javonte Davis, we was coming up. We didn't really know where the next anything was going to come from. We were spending a lot of money just marketing and making it seem like more of a spectacle than it actually was before the real money hit. So we was running dry. We'd be, you know, stacked up in a hotel room, 2, 3 of us. Security might have his room just because he was bigger than all of us, but us, we all 2, 3 deep, maybe 3, 4 deep in one hotel room. Eventually that grew to suites, and then we all got penthouse suites and things of that nature. The narrative changed. Or if, uh, Floyd just cashed a big check or something like that, we could all, you know, live good for the night or the next night. But, uh, I bring up the OVO situation because they had a store in New York on 54 Bond Street in SoHo, the one that just got—

actually, yeah, that's crazy, because it was just vandalized by a designer that claims he stole from her. That's what she said in the video. Wow.

So I didn't actually watch the video, but I do know that was 54 Barn Street.

Yeah.

And Oliver, who was, uh, like the CEO of OVO to a certain degree, he, um, he would always green light me to go through the store, pick up what I needed. I could go get 10, 12 sweatsuits if I wanted to, pick up the Jordans, pick up the Timberlands. And I was cool for like the rest of the time that I was in New York. And I'll take Gervonta to like Patron or New or something like that, arrange that with Jonathan Pack and they have all of the whatever they wanted to push to him set out, and then I go in and kind of fine-tooth comb what they've already pulled out with what I see, so on and so forth. And this is like, like now people wearing like Enfin Riche Déprimé in 2025. We were pulling that shit in 2021, 2019, 2020. I was buying this shit. I need to stop cussing.

Yeah, you fine. Yeah, your mama. I was like, but you cool. But like, your mama.

Yeah. No, but like certain brands right now, it ain't even that I'm off them. It's just like they've, they've become so heavily populated and you got to watch the stock. That's the way I see it. It's like stocks. So if I like something, I can still like it and it could be fire, but if it's too widespread, it's going to peak in the market.

Like Lululemon?

Lululemon is incredible. Yeah, yeah. They were a direct competitor to us at Under Armour, but they couldn't put them in a non-compete because at the time they didn't make footwear.

I'm not sure if they still do or don't, but I've never seen them with shoes.

Yeah, you could still do a deal. Like, if you had Under Armour deal, you could do a Lululemon deal. At that point in time, they weren't on like the non-compete list. Because they didn't make footwear.

Okay.

Yeah.

So as far as working with Drake, were you— because he has— I didn't even know he had an OVO clothing line.

Yeah.

So like the store got vandalized. I was like, he just closed?

Yeah. Like, what the fuck?

I didn't know, you know. Were you, were you a part of the design team for that?

I was a part of a lot of conversations in the realm of like creativity that they were having around that time. Um, for instance, ironically enough, uh, they were trying to sign my little brother at a point in time.

Your brother's in the fashion too?

No, no, he makes music.

My little brother.

He was making music at that point in time. And prior to my time at Under Armour, when I'm talking about like being a snotty-nosed kid running around the industry and stuff like that, I was managing him. So I was pitching this kid who's like this 16-year-old viral sensation on WorldStarHipHop at the time, doing freestyles, pulling up fly than whoever the main artist is. Who the fuck is this kid type thing? And I was always the one who would pinpoint, let's break it down. So for instance, If I wanted him to get to Drake, I knew Future the Prince was Drake's manager in this regard. I knew CJ was his like road manager in this regard. I knew Oliver was a manager in this regard. I knew 40 was his producer, and I knew all these people, but not only by face but by name. I would go, for instance, I remember it was Made in America Festival, the very first one where Jay-Z and Kanye came out, and this is like Watch the Throne time. Uh, I think it's like a Budweiser sponsored event, this, that, and the third, but it's in Philly. So me knowing the type of man Drake is, and I already haven't spent time around him since the time I was I was like 17 in college and shit like that, just kind of like moving around. I don't know why, but I kept bumping into this guy and he would always give me the time of day. And even if I couldn't get to him, I could always get to Future the Prince, who would lay the land and kind of just have great conversations with me and teach me the way that the game was gonna go. But anyways, back to the topic. I'm like, Drake's the type of person who's gonna stay in a very regal hotel. You got the Four Seasons, you got the Ritz-Carlton. He's probably gonna go more regal, probably gonna go for Ritz-Carlton. As soon as I get off the highway, Avenue of the Arts, I'm watching, I'm looking at like the backdrop of the city, all the architecture is beautiful to stand up there. As soon as I bend the corner, sitting on one of the pillars outside is Future Da Prince. Shortly thereafter, Oliver comes outside, he's smoking a cigarette. And I'm like, this is how we gotta maneuver. I will park the car illegally, hope I don't get no ticket.

Yeah.

And then run over there, have a conversation. Somebody still on video on YouTube, this, that, and the third. But that's how those relationships were made. Then they started playing my little brother on OVO Sound Radio. Then they flew him to Toronto and he had a good conversation, went to the studio with 40, so on and so forth. But to the Drake point of view, we would have Conversations, for instance, uh, Art Basel, I want to say it was 2019. Virgil was actually there. That was one of the last times I seen him, you know, seen him all over that Drake tour, Aubrey and the Three Amigos. But, um, I had a good conversation with Virgil that day, and I had a good conversation with Drake that day. And that was the same day he told me in the kitchen of Puff's house— not, not, not to even be funny, but in the kitchen of Puff's house— he told me he was going to drop the double album. He was talking through my, my little brother's deal and things of that nature, but we started talking about the nuances of what will become The Scorpion album, two-part album on some Biggie, Ready to Die type shit. Like, really wanted to get bars off, really wanted to get R&B off. And he went on a tirade of a tour after that. That Scorpion album took him to new heights coming off the heels of Views and other projects and things of that nature.

But that was a great album.

Yeah, I really like that album. And I really like what, what he delivered coming off the beef with Pusha T and, you know, delivering the message about his son. I believe the song is March 14th or 16th or something like that, whatever the ode to his son is called. I respected that. And I hadn't had a child yet, so it was like all of these figures around me, much like I say, I grew up in church, they were like sculpted in my mind. Me as a kid, it was a little different for me because my father played an instrument. He played guitar. But if you come from the church, you know, like if you come from like Baptist church, my church was non-denominational but had Baptist roots. If you come from a church like that, it's like you almost sacrilegious if you use your quote unquote gift for anything other than gospel music. If it's secular in any way, shape, or form, it's frowned upon, at least in the city where I came from.

So your mom, she allowed you to pitch your brother to Drake?

This is after like years and years and years of like fighting for it. And she actually divorced my father to kind of give us a certain element of freedom. That happened when I was in like 9th grade, um, the divorce took place. So right as I'm becoming like an independent adult, stepping into the realm of high school, my parents split after 17 years. So I got like a world of freedom. I was able to play music at my mom's house. But prior to that, like growing up, My dad played guitar, so he played for like Toni Braxton, he played for Kacey and JoJo, he played for Dru Hill, he played for a world of different—

but he wouldn't let y'all listen to it, man.

No. Jazz from Dru Hill is actually my second cousin. Jazz's father is who taught my father how to play guitar. That's my family. So, and Kevin Peck, who was Dru Hill's manager, used to see— he went to my church. He used to sit a few rows behind me, and I always respected the fact that he had his family in church on Sunday. He'd be accepting a BET Award one Sunday, and then next Sunday right back next to me. So it's all you know is That's all I ever knew from the time I was a kid. I never realized what was going on. And—

But your dad was trying to protect you from it.

I think my dad— I think my dad had his own fears that he was afraid of, like, pushing through to become like Broken Barriers, which kind of ignited something in me to be like, nah, man, fuck that. I'm bulldozer. Like, it ain't no way you're going to stop me. I think one of my greatest traits that other people tell me about myself is my resilience. Which is why I won't shut the fuck up in this other regard when it comes to homeboys.

But yeah, like, because, um, I know X is gonna— they're gonna eat this up. Yeah, you have been trending for months, Chris. Yes. And that's what— that was what was going to be my next transition, is I felt like your dad maybe saw something in the industry that maybe he was trying to protect you from, being that he was of it.

Yeah.

And playing for these artists.

Yeah.

A lot of music that a lot of our parents didn't let us listen to. Yeah. If I listen to Drew Hill, it friend's house. Now, this video is for my active duty service members as well as veterans that are in the Jacksonville area as well as surrounding Florida areas.

And Tyler Perry does this thing with movies. When BET was flourishing, it was the videos and the stuff. It was the stuff that was reflecting, reflective directly of the culture. Once they pulled back on that and just watered it down and just— then look, it just devalued. When I had the source, hip-hop was right. The problem is when this youth movement of this generation, when we gave them the reins, when people started following them, directors, the labels, and just started following these 22-year-old guys from the street and letting them push the culture. With everything that comes with the internet, with— you don't even really have to be a rapper, it just have to be popular. Once we followed that, once the pro— the adults followed it, like, it's almost like allowing YNs to just take over the White House and just run the country.

I didn't know you had smoke for Mona.

When I got on Love Hip Hop, I was dating a couple of chicks in Atlanta, and I made sure I cut them off before I even went on there because I didn't want nobody to be like, oh, who's he dating? Let's get her here. I'm going to be single and I'm going to just date one girl and I'm going to treat her right on TV, you know what I'm saying? Because Stevie's doing the wild shit, Kirk's doing the wild shit, Scrappy doing the wild shit. I'm going to be the one that's going to be, you know what, I'm not— I don't have to do it and I'm going to show it. Yeah.

If I listen to Drew Hill, it was at a friend's house. We couldn't listen to that kind of stuff.

But I'm seeing Jazz and I'm seeing Jazz from Drew Hill and Nokia and all them pull up to the family reunion.

Like, and you can't listen to their music? No.

And my cousins and them was going to the, like, album release parties and talking about it the next day when my mom dropped me off at my aunt's house. Oh, it was so crazy. And I couldn't even— I had an FM calculator that played the, like, secular music. It's 92Q in Baltimore, but we'll play that. And I would fake like I was doing math homework, but in reality I'm, like, catching up on, like, Nelly and Destiny's Child.

Do you— you trying to go back to all the music you done— you done missed? Do you think that this was the drive of of wearing your art so boldly because your dad maybe suppressed a lot of that inside of you?

1,000%. A lot of people even say I look like my father, and I feel like he sheltered me in a way that he wanted me to, like, be this picture-perfect, like—

not what he was.

I think if he would have been more honest with me about exactly who he was, I would have been better equipped sooner. For instance, right, I don't have a problem. I'm in a committed relationship right now, but I don't really have a problem with women. Like, that's not a problem that I ever had. I can communicate, I can approach a woman. I don't have no hesitation in that regard. I'm cool. Had my dad kind of gave me certain conversations earlier, I would have known how to, like, interact with women in a way that wasn't so naive before, like being trapped or like, shit, I'm being for real. If a woman coming off in this regard, or she might be a few years older than you, or this thing, you just got to be aware. Son, you don't look like everybody. You have a specific look. This is what comes with this. So my father being light-skinned, freckles, slicked-back hair, getting money—

you look like a junior.

That's what I'm saying. So if my dad would equip me with this as I'm coming up, as opposed to just throwing me out— like, my father thought I was a virgin in college. Yeah, like, my little brother had wore some, uh, like, pants of mine or something like that, because he would like try to wear my clothes. Little sibling shit. Um, try to wear my clothes he wore to school. He reached in his pocket, it was a condom in the pocket, and he pulled it out, he threw it in the trash. He's not even thinking like, this is something for something else. This shouldn't be in an elementary school trash can. So he throws it away. They call home, this, that, and the third. My dad is— and mind you, I'm in my freshman year of college at this point in time— he calling, oh, it couldn't have been Chris. Chris is not sexually active. And I'm thinking to myself like, what you think I'm doing? I'm sneaking women through the window, revolving the front door, revolving doors, But he wouldn't give me the game. Meanwhile, my cousins and my father's brothers, aka my uncles, they were equipped in like the opposite way in the sense that like they put everything on them very, very young. I feel like that healthy balance could have helped me a little bit more. But thankfully I got a great older brother and he would come pick us up. He would play the new Jay-Z album on loop. We would still be going to church on Sundays, but he would come pick us up and play the new Jay-Z album on loop. That's how I found out about the Blueprint, Blueprint 3. I used to watch 106 Park with closed captioning on and the volume on like 2 or 3 on the TV. And I would read it and I would put my ear to the screen. I would read it and I put my ear to the screen. And I think what all that I did, just me being starved in that regard, kind of built an appetite that had to be sufficed in one way or another. And that's why I would read these articles. I would read these magazines because it was all good in that regard. And I was still reading. So my parents were kind of cool with it. But even if I couldn't buy the magazine and bring it home, I ride my bike to Barnes Noble and sit there for hours and just read all of the above, just downloading everything I've seen. So my approach to it was far more analytical than that of just—

I could tell you eat, sleep, and breathe.

I love this shit.

Fashion.

I really do. It's really popular culture in totality. When you, when you— like, for instance, it's, it's like you're hyper-focused.

I could tell.

I appreciate it. It really means a lot to me. And I really, really, really feel a way about like the lack of storytelling, and not only fashion but in music and a lot of realms of art right now. Um, one of the last—

that's what made us connect to it was the storytelling.

That's the only thing that you can bite your teeth into. That's the only thing that we give a fuck about.

Whether you want to admit it or not, I will never get away from on this platform. I don't give a fuck about no 30-second reels. You cannot tell a story in 30 seconds.

Amen.

I don't give a damn.

It is what it is. You can't.

We're going through— we're going through everything. Whether it's stuff you don't want to know, it may resonate with somebody else. And you know how many people that are probably watching this that maybe have kids that aspire to be designers and stuff like that and make it to heights that you've made it to?

Yeah, um, I'm still trucking, by the way. Got a lot more ground.

I know you got a lot more groundwork to do, you know what I'm saying? And I mean, just to even be in the same space as somebody like Virgil.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, that's, that's, yeah, that's pretty cool.

I was trying to recruit Virgil when I got the Under Armour. No bullshit, I was handing out my business cards in SoHo. I ran into him like, this was, uh, so it's Snotty Nose Kid. We was, uh, what casino was that in Atlantic City? Kanye did a, a sector of shows throughout like maybe two weekends, maybe one weekend, and we couldn't afford much, but myself, my cousin who was our cameraman, and my little brother, and maybe one of his homies, we drove because I told you I would get him in front of everybody. He would rap for everybody. And we went to this casino for the weekend or whatever. We slept in the car, we wake up, go brush our teeth in the bathroom of the casino, and kick it all day, see who we could find. Don C's outside. That was like Kanye's DJ and manager at the time, very like, uh, creative director driven. He does a lot of great work, um, and helped Kanye kind like craft his style. He don't really get the credit he deserves. A lot of that go to Virgil, but Don C was like first pioneer before Virgil was even hired. But Don C, we was rapping for Don C, rapping for Virgil. Virgil's like going through emails and shit like that with my little brother getting bars off in front of his face. But I'll never forget those things. So by the time I got that Under Armour job, it made everything official for me to be able to say, yo, here's an opportunity. Mind you, he's already working on this at Nike as I'm running into 'Cause like 6 months later he started to roll out product, but it's crazy. And then I think about like part of the reason why I was able to elevate so quickly within the Under Armour, like corporate ladder was because of the fact that I was, I wasn't afraid to tell them how I felt. I didn't have like that jaded corporate mindset where I had to tiptoe because I was in fear. No, these people just pulled me out of school. Technically right now I'd be in somebody's marketing class in second semester of my junior year. So I'ma talk like I would be talking to a professor. Professor. If I hear wrong, it's very hard for me to sit still and allow wrong to be executed. So I was always very vocal. And as wrong took shape, and I prophetically spoke, not to say I'm always right, but in those moments, if 1 1 2, you want to sit there, keep acting like it's 4, I told you it was 2. Like, it is what it is. So eventually, when the results come back, and the results tell you that it was 2, somebody around heard me say it was too. And then eventually, as those situations began to stack, they started pointing to me. And then by like, you know, 6, 7 months later, I'm reporting directly to the CEO.

I can't help but to think about your dad. Yeah, tried to protect you from what you're going through right now.

Yeah, and it's crazy.

Have you talked to your dad about it?

Oh my gosh, I mean, damn, it's therapy. That's crazy. So I did talk to my dad about about it. And, uh, we kind of fell out. I, I haven't been the closest with my dad over the past year. Um, when things started to kind of surface in the media last year around this time, myself and my siblings were all like put in this group message, and my dad wrote me and he was just like, let your lawyer handle it and this, that. I know he was speaking with fear.

My father come from Baltimore, Maryland, because he doesn't want that stigma that his son is—

well, it ain't even really—

could be like— not, not that you are— I know that you're in a committed relationship, you have children. It wasn't that.

The fact that the internet was trying to— it wasn't that. It was the fact that my name was being put in very, very high traffic areas where like somebody on the street is going to come up to you and talk about the quote-unquote trending topic that is your son. He couldn't handle it. A lot of that, like, a lot of— I know a lot of people in my family especially, they're like extremely talented, but once the lights are shining on you, you become small. You can't handle it. I am not that person. I'll run through light, you know what I mean? So, yeah, and it was a lot of what motivated me, and I hope you see this, Dad, I love you. Um, a lot of what motivated me was the hardship that he went through. My father was born in 1963. His father is a straight, like, a, like, a white man. His mother is a chocolate black woman, much, much like yourself. And he had to deal with a lot of adversity throughout his time growing up where he wasn't white enough, he wasn't black enough and living on Park Heights Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland, Baltimore City, you're gonna have a hard time. So he would get jumped and beat up, and his older brother actually, uh, failed a grade and he skipped a grade just for that element of protection to be in place as he navigated through grade school. My uncle would put his body over my father when he was getting jumped, so they would hit him and not hit my dad. My dad used to get hit in the head with stop signs and things of that nature growing up, and it built a certain level of like rebellion in him. But he had this meter that like once it hit the top, he would explode. Me, I don't let it rise. And by way of therapy and just becoming a man and wanting to be the best version of myself for not only me and my partner, but my children, and allowing that maximum level of confidence to be exuded by just my day in, day out so my son can see that. All of that fear that my father had, I saw that. My mother didn't have that. And the fact that she was so resilient at nothing but 5 foot 6 foot nothing and 3/4 or some shit like that, a little under 5'1". She had all that. So when I paired the two, it was a perfect marriage. My dad just had that fear in him. And I used to look at him in his eyes and I could see it. I could feel it. You know, children feel energy. I could see it, I could feel it. And there was nothing he could really do about it. I would watch him walk in certain rooms and feel uncomfortable and not speak up about things that he was frustrated about. I'd hear him go off in the house for 3, 4 hours about a subject, get in front of the person and be mute. And that's just not me. Me, I'm gonna tap you on your shoulder, let's go have a conversation. We talk about it. Worst that could happen, we disagree, we don't work no more.

Do you feel like your dad just wants you to be quiet in this situation and let the police handle?

Yeah, and the thing about it is, much like we've seen in the past with, you know, pretty much everything else, if the, the quote-unquote crime or criminal activity isn't put under an element of spotlight when you're dealing with very high-level, highly influential, highly backed by this organization or that organization, type of individuals, you will get suppressed. Somebody else will get hurt because you ain't saying nothing. And I'm not going that way. You're not going to violate me and be walking around in my personal property and thinking things are cool and taunt me in the public eye and think I'm going to just be quiet. My mouth don't work like that.

So you've been in fashion since you were 14.

Kid. Yeah, for sure.

You're 32 now. Indeed. You've never had any issues with any of the celebrity figures that you've worked with except for this one person?

Nothing ever quite like this. Gervonta and I, that's like my brother. I'm blood in, blood out, the GTD situation, so on and so forth. We built that situation together. So we would fight like brothers, like siblings and things of that nature. And much like I said, I don't really know how to see wrong and let wrong be executed. So I'mma always tell you if you right, whether you got $100 in your bank account, $100,000 in your account, $1 million in your account, or now $100 million plus in your account. Wrong is wrong. Right is right. Whether you're doing it to me or doing it to somebody else. And amongst our friend group, amongst our work group, which was kind of like interchangeable to a degree, I was damn near like the spokesman of the union. If we get in the house, yo, bro, we all need bathrooms. We too grown to be waiting on this dude to use the bathroom. He might be not cleanly as me. Nah, bro. Then my kids come in like, nah, we ain't— if you talking about we building a family, we can afford a house. House that has 4 bedrooms with 4 bathrooms and we'd be good to go. And anybody else can stay in a nearby hotel. And that's how we were able to all get bathrooms because Chris spoke up or something along those lines. Or if we having problems because he started traveling only private, if we got luggage issues, bro, let's get one little Ramoa and maybe one big Ramoa and that be the cutoff. You could bring a duffel on the plane, but this is the luggage setup for everything to fit on the plane because, you know, sometimes with these planes If I got 4 bags, he got 8 bags, the plane might not even be able to take off because it can't carry all the luggage, or a passenger might have to sit back because of the weight, so on and so forth. So just small things like that is what I'm trying to say.

Your fiancée, we're not going to name her. I don't know her name.

Don't want to know her name. I can name my woman. I love my woman.

No, no, no. I know you love her. But have you thought about what this interview is possibly going to do to— how does she feel about you sitting down with me? To discuss this, these specifics that we're about to get into.

Yeah, one of the most beautiful things about her is the fact that she backs me. And I feel like my last relationship, uh, fine-tooth combed me and molded me and filtered me to be the man that my current woman needs me to be. I'm far more patient with this woman than I've been with other women in the past. I'm far more more understanding of the fact that the words that come out of her mouth are not that of Bible or fact when she's speaking from a place of emotion, and to not always be so literal. I'm also aware, and I've become more aware, that I do enjoy a verbal sparring match. I do. Not arguing, but I do like to have that, like, back and forth, that banter. And sometimes if I can't get it out, maybe I ain't spent enough time with the guys, or maybe I ain't spent enough time like popping shit at the barbershop or something along those lines. I can get into it with her just about the latest trend.

The debate.

Literally anything. And she'll be like, man, you just want to argue about everything. But in reality, I just like that spar. I want to, it's like an athlete wanting to compete. It's that element of competition, not necessarily between myself and my partner, but just to have that like.

Yeah, you like to talk.

Exactly. Yeah, yeah. And she catches some of that in crossfire and I'll apologize in the meantime. I'll be like, I just need to talk to somebody, huh? But I love her. And I, I really learned—

She knows and is okay with you being here now?

Yeah, 1,000%.

Okay.

Yeah.

And are you worried about future work relationships?

I have to do this to protect my work relationships. My name was smeared through the industry like a messy diaper all over the floor, and if nobody comes to clean it What it's gonna smell like? Shit. My point, I'm not going for that shit, so I got to clean it up. And that's why—

are you afraid for your life?

I feel like if I'm quiet, I should be afraid for my life. I feel like if you speak up, it put the spotlight on a quote-unquote criminal to be able to go in his cocoon, hide, and now I'm coming for you. The second that the— the second that the bully don't want to be bullied no more, it's bully season for, for everybody. Body. The second I want to grab the ball and play, that's when everybody should be afraid. When I'm letting you do your thing and I'm just sitting on the defensive end watching you score and you coming downhill, you're getting bucket after bucket, eventually I'm gonna grab the ball and now it's my time and I'm not going. And by way of the fact that I can substantiate what I say by way of evidence, it's irrefutable. We don't really have too much to talk about. The things that I'm talking about are not a matter of opinion, only matter of fact. I only want to speak to matters fact. And one of the main things my mother instructed me, uh, throughout this process was to keep the— when I'm, when I'm speaking on the facts, keep it to the facts. Keep the jokes and shit to a minimum. You could be witty, you could be funny, but it is a serious situation. Yeah, yeah, for sure.

You know, like I said, I only came to know you because your name was all over the internet.

Yeah.

And it was tied to a very, um, you know, we like to call it messy, but like when you really peel back the layers and look at it Yeah. And what you've described to me.

Yeah.

Um, that's why I asked you, are you afraid for your life? Because—

yeah, nah, but my mom bought me this, uh, Psalm 23:4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. That's Psalm 23, and this is also Psalm 23. So my mother always equipped me, and I told you I grew up in church, so my prayer and my oneness with that of the Lord is too in line. And I know these people more than they damn near know themselves. If I created your study, if I know the intricacies of your whereabouts, scheduling, nuances, deficiencies, proficiencies, if I know you inside out, diagonal, upside down, forwards, backwards, any day of the week, why would you do this to somebody who had that level of intel on you? I'm not what you think. And if you think you're gonna step on me, I'm gonna move. I'm gonna be behind you. But before that foot hit the ground, it's not gonna go the way you think it's gonna go. And over the next few months, I think we're gonna get a clear indication of what the hell I'm talking about. Straight like that.

Well, let's get into it then. So you and Stefon Diggs have known each other since Baltimore. Not you brought the receipt. He got the receipt back.

This is actually a translucent Hermès invitation from that of, uh, a show in 1997.

Okay.

They gifted this to everybody in attendance, so they're pretty rare.

Okay.

It's an Hermès bag. And these are, uh, what we'll call the Diggs Files.

The Stefon Diggs Files. I'm done.

Good Lord.

Okay.

Yeah, I ain't gonna lie.

Now let me ask you something before we go, because you know the LGBTQ, they love to say this, right?

Sure.

But I don't think it would be here if, in my opinion, if things weren't escalated to a violent violent level between you two.

1000%.

Because they would like to say, well, isn't he technically outing somebody if he is DL or bisexual? Because he's been publicly only linked to women. And there's quite a few that we've reported on and quite a few babies that are being had right now. Twins were just born by KJ. Drake's ex.

For the love of— I know he had her.

Yeah, she was a Kiki. Do you love me?

I didn't know that.

Yes, she lives in Houston. I don't know. I don't know that much. Yes, she does live in Houston. She does live in here. So shout out to KJ. Congratulations on your babies. Um, and so, um, and then of course there were two other babies that were born this year, and then there's one that was just confirmed by a girl that was on his private jet, and then of course of course some others. We don't typically know how many, but there's quite a few. And I feel like when men do do that, they kind of overcompensate to mask certain energies that they cannot control. And, you know, Stefon Diggs' own teammates have said, you know, I wouldn't want my daughter or my sister around him at all. And so, but how long have you known Stefon Diggs? So to get these Diggs files that you got, give me this folder. Goodness on earth, damn. The receipts.

Yeah, indeed. Okay. Known like one-to-one or known of? No. Okay.

Because y'all grew up in Maryland.

He grew up in PG County, which is like 45 minutes up the road. But as a kid, that feel like Africa. Like they make it a whole thing to go to DC. Like growing up, DC and Baltimore were like rivals. Montgomery County, PG County, they ain't fuck with us, we ain't fuck with them. Baltimore niggas was on some, like a completely different wave. But as I grew older, and even today, to this day, that bridge is kind of like wedged. It's all good. We intertwine, we do business, we kick it, we go out there for nightlife, they come to us for food, vice versa, so on and so forth. But I started having run-ins with him, and social media makes everything really small as well, with like, you know, the outfits and stuff like that on Instagram, Tumblr, stuff like that. But he was signed to Under Armour in the football department while I was running entertainment. Entertainment. So when I signed Javonte to the entertainment department, he was also signed in football department working with a guy named Kendall. I think Kendall Ogle, KO, my man KO.

Yeah.

Um, but anyways, uh, he was paying attention to what I had going on. And when we locked in, it was probably because at the point in time I was working with Javonte mainly exclusively. He was very like, I don't know, I feel like my brother come from the group home, so he feel like anything anything that becomes something is going to leave him. It's a trait, and I hope you're listening. It's a trait in him that will not allow the things around him to thrive to their maximum because he's in fear that he will lose them, which is why he keep everybody suppressed. When I got my own—

What do you mean? Like having babies?

No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm talking about Javonte. Oh, okay. Javonte.

Okay. I was like, that's a good way to suppress somebody is by getting them pregnant.

I think Stephon's situation is about If I had to like, I mean, I was thinking—

Overcompensate. It's like when men spend a lot of money on women.

Yeah. I feel like—

Because a real broke nigga can get a rich woman any day.

That go back to my earlier point. I never had that problem. But when you tapping in and somebody standing next to you that don't have that problem and you got to throw the bank— I know this script. Like, I know this script. I know this script. I ain't going to say what's up, but he'll like something and send his agent agent at the girl, have the girl, uh, go to like her local department store. You know, every city is different. It might be Nordstrom in Arizona, it might be Rodeo Drive in LA, it might be— I don't know what it is here. Y'all have like a gallery or something?

Oh no, I'm not from Dallas.

Okay. But yeah, and every city is different. But had a girl meet at like a department store, pick out like whatever she want, maybe with up to like maybe like a $30,000 limit depending on how much you like— depending on how much you like it. It might be 50, it might be 10, it might 20. He might have picked it out himself, whatever the case is, but go do your thing. And he blowing a bag before he even see you, meet you. So by the time he meets you, it's all about that equity has changed. And I'm only sharing even that because me knowing his script of like finding a need, trying to fulfill said need, and then using, uh, the fact that that need was filled by him as some form of exchange, and what he wants in return is what he wants he wants in return. And when he wants it, how he wants it, if he can have it, solely up to him. And when you relinquish that power, when you accept that void fill.

So how did you come to work? How did you guys come to work together?

Okay, so I think more prominently, I had did a look, not a look, but I designed, I did these pants actually, for the press press conference of Gervonta Davis versus Rolly Romero. Yeah, Gervonta Davis versus Rolly.

Remember that fight?

Yeah, we go through the press conference in New York. I want to see it. Yeah, go through the press conference in New York, and like a couple days after I got— and they went to Miami. I didn't want to go to Miami. I want to go home to my son. So I go back to LA because at this time I'm like frustrated a little bit. Um, actually, I was in Dallas when I got pissed off, uh, in January of— no, February of that year. We were supposed to We supposed to be taking a plane to the Super Bowl. And Floyd was like playing with the tickets, playing with the tickets. He started inviting random people. Like the pilot could come, the crew from the plane could come. And he was telling us that like certain members of our crew couldn't come. And he inviting all these people. But at the end of the day, like me taking the GTD hat off, that's that man's suite. He can do what the fuck he wanna do. He wanna bring the person who created this wine bottle in there, he can. And say that you can't come. Type shit. But he didn't want to spend the money on his own suite. And I had a booking for him in Dallas, a weekend of bookings for him in Dallas. And I had already given word to pick up my son and my son was going to spend the Super Bowl with me because his mom was going to the game or something like that. And I couldn't, I don't play like that when it comes to my children. So I left everybody. I left my luggage too. Like everything at the hotel. I never got it back, but I left my luggage, ran to the airport, left everybody. Body. And I almost had like a panic attack, it damn near felt like. Not literally, but in my head, it was like one of the most pressing situations emotionally that I had been through because I felt like I was held captive in a situation where I'm babysitting— love y'all, GTD— but it felt like I was babysitting grown men. And I just wanted to just hug my son, go to the airport, uh, fly to LA, leave my luggage, leave everything. I should let you know that, like, the— I just trying to shed something. And I went, and I just kept thinking to myself about the amount of money that I had made that weekend not being worth all that I had just went through— managing personalities, promoters hitting me about why we're late for this and trying to take money off the table. We all flew here. It just was— it was becoming far too much of a swirl that I couldn't control. So I went to the airport, uh, and I didn't go back, and I didn't see them again until this press conference. So he hit me talking about he needed a fit, this, that, and third. We start putting up— he sent the budget through, I start putting some things together. Um, and after I had come back from this press conference, the looks did really well on social media— Complex, Blitz Fits, all of the above. And I'm actually one of the few guys that's not an athlete on the field that be on like Blitz Fits and shit like that, which is also baffling to me. But anyways, I go back and I actually run into Stefan at Gallery department, which is the same store I was just telling you about earlier. He's picking out like shorts and stuff for the team, and he make his way over to me. He tell me he's a fan of my work, so on and so forth. He know who I am. So we sit down and we treated it like it was our store.

At—

for like 2 hours we sit there, we chop, and we've been— we were locked because he's real heavy.

Like, he's, he's trying to— he's been walking in Fashion Week, he's Met Gala.

Uh, yeah, I was— I helped usher get in. Okay, I'll say that. I know how it came to life too, but I'll say, uh, yeah.

Okay, okay.

Yeah, I see you gotta pay to play, man. It's not as organic as you think. Like, a guy like Rocky is, uh, somebody who was— who's like invited and doesn't have to buy his way in, you know what I mean?

So you're saying Steph had to buy his way in to get to the Met Gala or to get to Fashion Week?

There's a Vogue employee who shall remain nameless, Michael, uh, that he was paying $10,000 per shopping day to be— mind you, this is like, think, think like, I think Steve Jobs is fly, so I don't want to use this as an example, but let's think like, think, think of you paying Mark Zuckerberg $10,000 a day to style you. That's— would that make sense to you? No.

No.

Mark Zuckerberg specializes in social media, things of that nature, and his aesthetic is not that of somebody who you would deem quote-unquote fashionable, right? So this guy, this editor, editor, editor has to meet him at the stores, was very uncomfortable with like both of our presence, mine and Stefan's, because we didn't really—

who would—

like, okay, cool. But we used to like plan off of each other. How you feel about this? How you feel about that? I'm gonna go in there, I'm gonna pull a rack worth of shit, this, that, and the you know, this fly, this fly, this fly, this fly. He might like one or two things that he like on his own, and we put it all together, all good. But this Michael character had to sit there, and nobody was leaning on his word. But he collects his retainer, which is $10,000 a day, which helped me set my day rate. That's how I established my day rate for $10,000 a day, because I'm like, man, if this motherfucker is getting $10,000 a day to do absolutely nothing— but then I figured out, I found out what he was doing. That's who will place him at all the shows. That's who would make the phone calls for— you know who run the Met?

Anna Wintour.

So we talking about Vogue. It's like direct, like perfectly in line. What we talking about?

But I noticed even when he went to the Met, he didn't get like a— it wasn't like Stefan's at the Met.

It's not incentivized for them to boost him because they're not invested. He invested. You catch my drift?

So they're just taking his money and giving him a little spot there. You could call— it's like you're You want to pay for your invitation?

Come on with it. That's cool. It's a lot different when you go to a restaurant, uh, you set a reservation, you go, you sit down, you dine. It could go well. It's a lot different when the chef calls you and say, I would love for you and your people to come have dinner at my establishment. That's when the appetizers come and flow. That's when they're giving you chef specials off the menu. That's when it's a completely different narrative. But you got to be him in order for that to be the case. It's a difference. Okay, you pay to play, you get what you pay for.

So the editor would just be there and it's like this awkward meeting, and it wasn't a lot of even interaction with the editor.

He come, he do what he got to do to say he styled this, that, and third, but he really just collecting a retainer to be able to make the placements. I don't owe nothing to none of these folks, you know what I mean? That's how I come to life.

Damn, son.

I'll tell you the truth. It is what it is. It's a difference while—

so how did— how did— so you guys are in a store, you're styling things, like, like, how, how did things go from you styling him to— and I have to say alleged because I wasn't there.

And I want to kind of clarify the realm of like styling because it's deeper than just styling. I feel like a lot of people people can step into that realm of calling it quote unquote styling. What I'm doing is more like, and I call it aesthetic curation, because it's more that. I think Rick Owens has his 10 laws of fashion. Don't quote me on the number. But one of the main things that he speaks on is rule number one, not rule number one, one of the main rules is get in shape. Clothes lay better on a fit body.

Right? That's why Teyana Taylor.

That was gonna be my lead example, which is also why she has a great relationship with all of the Rick Owens one's family. She— I think she did her birthday dinner at the store in Miami not too long ago.

Damn.

Um, shut down the store for it, a whole night.

So I need to get in shape so my clothes look better, man.

We can fix it all. It's just small changes, just small changes. But I'm gonna get in your fridge. Yeah, we're gonna swap out the Tropicana and the Minute Mades for like locally pressed juice.

Yeah.

Um, we're gonna get you on water. You're not gonna eat until probably 1, 2 PM until we get you in there.

What time do you stop artists from eating? Look at me.

You don't have to actually listen, but if I'm gonna tell you what is, you're going to be in a caloric deficit until about 1 to 2 PM. At 1 to 2 PM, you can have a light meal, mainly protein, but something light. And then by the time you eat at like 7 PM, you in the negative, like 1,000 calories. By the time you eat your meal, you really only had like— you gotta look at it like a bank account. Yeah, you really only had like 1,000 calories on a day. You multiply that times 2 months, do the math.

But doesn't that cut into your muscle definition? We're gonna get back to the stuff on Dave.

No, no, that muscle definition gonna be there because your body start operating off of fat stores. Then you can build. You got to get lean first and then you can build. Don't let that work.

How long does it take for you to like drop weight on somebody?

That's the thing that I learned in the boxing world, which I didn't really get it at that point in time. But when I would do these training camps with Gervonta and he had a fight at 130—

this is good information—

he would walk in training camp big as hell, 185, 188, and have to cut all that weight, 55 pounds, 60 pounds, 2 months. Not even really 2 months, like really like 6 weeks.

So you said he could lose 20 pounds in a month?

It happened. A training camp is at max.

On a caloric deficit and high interval training.

That's how it go. He got to train for the fight, but as far as losing the weight, once I got him on this plan, the fights became so much easier because he was used to being more in shape. He didn't start looking at himself like a quote unquote athlete. And here, take this. Look at himself like a quote unquote athlete, like a professional athlete. Athlete until probably like 2022. Mind you, he's world champion, multiple belts, the whole nine, this, that, and the third, but he wasn't treating himself like an athlete. Once we really made the move, uh, to Miami, like I said, you're getting that fridge. We're pulling them in amazing Tropicana. We're gonna have a fresh, uh, juice situation pulling up every other day. Fresh squeezed orange juice, uh, kale, ginger, apple, lemon, so on and so forth. So your digestion is in order. Gallon of water a day, minimum. Like, I drink a gallon of water before I consume food. Tyson Beckford will tell you the same thing. Look at his modeling career.

He looks good.

Yeah, exactly. And that's amazing for your skin, it's amazing for your digestion. And by the time you actually eat, you're only eating what you're hungry for, as opposed to eating because you're dehydrated. If you hydrate the entire way, your body more thirsty than hungry anyway. We're mostly water. You got to use food, not abuse food, that's all. And then the portions be like super small throughout training camp and things of that nature. So I'm not even really big into like like the portion control because we— you're not training for a fight, you know what I mean? But if you can maintain the discipline to go in that caloric deficit from the time you wake up in the morning, moving around, doing your thing, even if you're sitting on your ass, don't eat till about 1, 2 PM. Every time you get hungry, drink 2 bottles of water until that time. That way your stomach will be full and you'll just have to pee and go through that. But you'll figure out when you're really hungry and when you're not. It's going to take a couple days for your body to adjust, maybe 2, maybe 3, not long, because it's really what it wants. And then it's done.

Okay, back to the dick files. Look, I had to get that information because you know it's a lot of winos too here.

And watch how your clothes fit.

Okay.

Telling you.

I just got these boobs and I be debating like, should I get them cut off?

No. If anything, they'd be highlighted. Oh my God. You had a TT situation where the stomach and the waist is like this, they sit like this, the proportions that do everything that it's supposed to do.

Okay, cool. I'm going to try it.

I'm telling you, you're going to be Dolce Gabbana runway.

I'm going to try it.

Listen, listen.

So, um, back to you and Steph. So, you know, you guys— how long did you guys work together before things got like, you know, they just took a turn? And, uh, Honey Beauty is the company. 100% all organic, no cancer-causing chemicals, no fake ingredients, no fillers. Everything is all natural, period.

And then they have the clear, slick, and silky and things like that. And I know a lot of women, I don't need that, I don't need that. Y'all need to stop lying. Stop the cap, stop the cap. A man is always ready. If it get hard, it's ready. But for us, we got children, we got life and stuff like that, and we don't just walk around with just wet cheese all day. And if we did that, we would have yeast infections all the time. We have to keep them dry. So when your man is ready, or your woman, or if you're a man man and your other man is not ready, this is easy. Officially Pleasure will get it ready. 30 seconds. Odorless, tasteless, hypoallergenic, all the above. And I'm allergic to everything. You know, you guys, how long did you guys work together before things got like, you know, they just took a turn and the events led up to—

2022 to— probably 2021 to— we knew each other started working together officially because he was trying to hire me for a minute, but the pretenses in which he wanted to hire me I couldn't agree to. He wanted to fire his, uh, so Trevon is his actual like whole brother. Okay, the one that played for the Cowboys. Yeah, they share the same mom and dad. Derez Marshon Diggs is the middle brother between the both of them, but they share a different mom. Stephon didn't even meet him until he was like 11, 12, 13 years old, something like that. He had a different family. Okay, um, so he comes from a different relationship, so on and so forth. He wanted to fire him and hire me. Me, I have brothers, and I know that's not gonna go well. This man got 3 kids at the time. I'm like, man, hell no, I'm not gonna be the guy that you just fired your blood or half-blood from to just occupy the role. So what happened was he just started trying to lure me in different ways. So we work on the line together, he wanted to design a line together, so I'm designing this line called him. We talked, we designed his house. Like, I helped him pick out his house. He— I got the messages, oh, I had to get your approval first, this, that, this, before you figuring out who you want to— where you want to live. The house he got in Maryland, you need my approval to figure out where you want to live? Like, come on, that's a lot. And then I tag in—

sounds like a wife.

And then I tag in, uh, a girl I was dating at the time to do the— and she was like a painter, but she had a decent respect for art and a lot of different things creatively. And she, I was trying to get her out of my hair. So if I could get her on these flights back and forth, and Stephon did a birthday party in Houston and we go to Art Basel directly after. He's naive at this point. He didn't even know you could buy art at Art Basel. He just so used to the nightlife and partying and this, that, and the third, like it's going to be lit. No, nigga, you could buy art. We here, we could buy art. It's art shows all over the place. That's actually where I used to run into Virgil. That conversation I had with Drake in the kitchen at Puff House where Virgil had a party? Art Basel.

Okay.

Um, but anyways, back to the topic. We trying to find furniture for his house. We trying to find, uh, and we set meetings with like Paul and Pauline. Um, uh, uh, uh, uh, it was some other Gustano Furniture or some shit like that. But anyways, back to the topic. The girl who I was dating at the time, I'm like, yo bro, she should be here. Like, she should be here helping you sculpt this. You should tap her shoulder. And he knew who she was at the point in time. And this woman actually turned out to be Lindsey Bolin. So when Lindsey Dawn Bolin decides to say yes to this opportunity, I connected her with Stefon to do the furniture curation for his crib, make sure the walls match the couch, make sure the nightstands match the chandelier, so on and so forth. She's doing good work. She's traveling to and from, and I got you out of my hair. Like, that was the number one thing. And then eventually from there, they started doing whatever they was doing. That's not my business. I can't really speak to it from a factual place. So I'll tread carefully in that regard. But that's how that came to life. And then we started sculpting the, uh, the clothing line. And what his brother would— what he would do, he would put up me and his brother in a group message. His brother lived in LA. I don't know where he live now, um, but he was convicted of the crime in LA. We'll get to that.

But, uh, the Diggs files.

Yeah, yeah, we'll get to that.

Okay.

Uh, uh, uh, he would have his brother like meet me at the factory that I was, uh, getting work done in and make him take notes. Like, literally make him take notes. Are you listening to what he's saying? Like, pressing them down because he's paying them. And I'm also seeing the way the dynamic works. I'm like, I'm never going on paperwork with this motherfucker. I can't do that. That doesn't make sense to me because it's going to change the dynamic of the way that we interact. And I know me, like I told you, it's very hard for me to see wrong and execute wrong. I can't do that. And you're not going to talk to me like that, especially with me knowing the DNA of how this whole thing runs. Uh-uh, not gonna work. So his brother, I could see the resentment was building. So I started creating distance. I didn't even really talk to him so much. I don't know him that well. I do know that that is his brother. I do know that an element of jealousy was there. And I say that because if you getting softly and passively pushed out of a role that you think you could thrive in, you want your older brother's approval. The younger one is doing his thing in the realm of like sports and in the NFL. You know, the older brother's doing his thing in the realm of like sports and NFL.

But he put you in the lion's den pretty much, like, yeah, like already resenting you for something you had no control over.

Yeah, but I'm all man and I'm standing there like, I'm not going to do that, that don't make sense to me, so no. So I'm working online, I'm sending my designs through, and when the time was right, I pull up. When the time was not right, you will not see Chris Blake in attendance. And that was that. And over time—

so you only kept it strictly to work?

I kept it to work, yeah. If we go— and now, now mind you, we doing dinners and that's where the We doing dinners. We meet at the store. We might go to lunch or something on some casual shit in between meetings or in between store visits or whatever the case is. But when he go to bed at night, when he got the girls around in his room and doing his thing and this, that, and the third, you go to your closed quarters. I go to my closed quarters. We talk about what we need to talk about. We congregate like homies, you know, whatever the case is. But even those lines don't run past a certain point. Point. The reason I decided to speak up was, and I know you can't say, but like certain words on these platforms and things like that, but can you say unalive? Yeah. Okay. So he attempted to have me unalived because of him making a sexual pass at me. It wasn't the sexual pass that frustrated me the most. What made me most frustrated was the fact that he tried to unalive me after it. When in reality, even though I was drugged, even though I was violated, I never thought that the next step would be my life being threatened because you got turned down. But it's that power complex of wanting what you want when you want it, feeling like you own the things that you pay for or pay toward. I don't really know the verbiage, but to pay money and feel like you have possession over someone or something is not something that I can be a part part of. And when he tried to have his way, it just wasn't going to go. I don't know if it's a sex addiction. I don't know if— and I don't speak on people's kids, but that's a lot of damn kids to not speak about. How many? How many are we not talking about?

2, 3, 4, 5.

That's 5 to 6. 5 to 6 to not talk about. That's, you know what I mean? Heavily involved. I mean, that's his life regardless. I got an obligation to be able to stand and profess the truth. And that's all I'm gonna live and die by, is that of the truth.

So tell me about that. How did you guys get alone for him to—

oh, we went to the club.

Okay.

Yeah, we went to the club. He had a celebrity, quote-unquote celebrity, uh, charity basketball game at the crib. Uh, his— he from DC area, so it was in like DC area. But I go home, I consider that home to a certain Okay, um, so I fly, uh, this is the incident in LA took place on Memorial Day weekend of 2023, so this is the week before. So that weekend of like the 21st through the 23rd-ish, um, 20th through the 23rd or something like that, I fly to DC for this game. I play in the game, I play on his team, all good. We like the last two people in the locker room. He's having problems with the Bills at this point in time.

What you mean having a problem? Oh, okay, with the Bills. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because he had, he had injured himself.

No, that was in Houston.

Okay.

In Buffalo, he was just really frustrated about the fact that he wasn't getting targeted as much as he wanted to. Felt like he was open and Josh wasn't hitting him. Um, so Josh Allen comes to the game. Josh Allen comes to the game. Uh, Gabe Davis comes to the game, and the last 4 people in the locker room are me, Stephon, Gabe Davis, Josh Scotland. And Josh has been trying to have this conversation with Stephon. Meanwhile, Stephon has been trying to force his way out of the organization. Josh pulls up, you know what I mean, quarterback, good face, trying to holler at his target like, hey man, I need you for another year. Are you in this with me? No, yes, whatever the case is, I need you on board. Gabe Davis right there, that's the other target on the opposite side of the field. They're trying to talk about it. He got pissed off, walked out of the locker room, played What you mean having a problem? Oh, okay. With the Bills? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cuz he had, he had injured himself. No, that was in Houston. Okay. And Buffalo. He was just really frustrated about the fact that he wasn't getting targeted as much as he wanted to. Felt like he was open and Josh wasn't hitting him. So Josh Allen comes to the game. Josh Allen comes to the game.

Gabe Davis game.

And the last four people in the locker room are me, Stephon, Gabe Davis, Josh Allen, I'm like, that's why, I don't know. It goes back to me feeling like my dad should have equipped me more. If he would've told me like, I grew up with him, I'm diverting, but the mission statement of my church growing up was to grow in Christ and make a difference in this world, to be in the world and not of the world. So it was very, very, very like at the, like always at the forefront of my brain to know that I was to be in this world and not of this world to a certain degree. Like the same way there's good, the same is the same way there's evil. Evil, you know what I mean? It's the balance of life. So to be out here, you got to be careful with these compliments that people offer. You got to be careful.

So he was complimenting you?

He would compliment me all the time.

What'd he say?

He put his hands on my shoulder one time as I was getting dressed and said, you know, you're the muse for this collection. You know, you're my muse for this collection. I'm thinking to myself, I never really heard a man say that to a man. Anytime I ever thought about a woman in the realm of a muse, even with Kanye, and he's had his whatever, he always references a muse like Kim Kardashian Latasha, or even Bianca Sensory. Maybe I'm butchering that. Like that. I don't know why the fuck he's saying it to me. Meanwhile, it's girls in the room that's like trying on clothes as well, but he talking about I'm the muse. I ain't really— I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. In hindsight, it makes a lot of compliments look crazy. He called me a perfect beard bitch one time. He was like, you perfect beard bitch. Some shit like that.

I thought to myself, how the fuck do that?

We can toast. I don't really fucking know what he meant by that, but in my head it kind of like never went away. And it'd be times when he just— I remember at Coachella, he was in the pool and I was standing outside of the pool, and he was just like eyes locked on me. And I'm like, what are you looking at? He said, your neck. I'm looking at your neck. I had like 3 chains on or something. Like, I said, would you try to add something?

What the fuck?

Like, what you out, because he was talking about getting, uh, new chains or something like that. He was like, no, I'm just, I'm watching your setup, I'm just studying your setup, this, that, and the third. The robbery takes place, they snatch the 3 chains off my neck, and now this man is walking into preseason football practice with one-of-one Chrome Hearts chains that I commissioned and have made specifically for me from Chrome Hearts on his neck. Specific length, tiny cross, the whole nine. Like, it's baffling to me to see this happen in plain sight. And the fact that it's not like gaudy in a sense where like my chain doesn't say Chris Blake big in diamonds doesn't change the fact that he's wearing my stolen jewelry just like a rapper that might have had his chain stolen off of his neck. And in that regard, it's crazy to me to see it happen in this way in plain sight. She just keeps getting swept under the rug. But on my mother and on my father, for what they did to my father, I will never shut the fuck up. I can't. I can't do that. I don't even know what that feels like.

Well, let me ask you something. So the night that led up to him, I guess, allegedly making a pass at you, right? Like, how did that go?

We, we go to— this is, uh, the last day of the quote-unquote, uh, Diggs Charity Weekend or some shit like that. So he took— we at the house, we kicking it, everybody at the house for mad long. Um, are you familiar with You know Cabrina? So he was dating Cabrina at the time. He goes and takes Cabrina on a date, comes back. He told me on the way back he wanted to go to the club. He said, man, just be ready. We're gonna go to the club, this, that, and the third. They telling us come to Rose Bar. They saying Rose Bar lit. He didn't have a section or nothing like that. We were just pulling up. So it's me and him though. Like nobody else goes, just me and him. But I'm thinking, all right.

Sounds like a date.

Yeah, but I don't really know. Like that don't feel at the moment. 'Cause at least for me, like, I'm used to doing stuff like that with my homeboys. Like, yo, let's go run out of such and such real quick. And it's not like weird. I don't know, but so this—

you pull up to Rose Bar, you guys hang out together.

Yeah. I also don't do drugs. That's the thing. Like, that man does drugs. He does drugs. He does drugs. I don't think it's like faux pas. They say that to be—

I always thought like, because he always talked about it in interviews, that he never did drugs. They said he was very clean, to be very disciplined.

It's Googleable. If you are hit in an NFL game, they equate that to like a certain amount of car accidents all at one time. One, one tackle, okay, is like the equivalent— and don't quote me, but something in the realm of like multiple car accidents, like 3, maybe 8, something like that. Maybe like the totality of a game can make that impact. If you go to the hospital after a car accident. Say one of them people tackled you right now. Would they prescribe you some form of pain medication?

So you're alleging he got a pill pain— he got a pain pill problem?

Would they prescribe you some form of pain medication?

Yeah, I usually ask for ibuprofen or something.

Me too. Not, not somebody of that magnitude. So they're gonna prescribe him some form of pain medication after the attack occurred. In my life, um, the robbery, so on and so forth, they tried to offer me all types of drugs. Percocet, Xanax, things of that nature to calm me down. I declined all of it because I never wanted to become addicted, especially having watched him. But anyways, um, there's like a process in which you go through and the team doctors issue these, uh, pills, these drugs.

So the night that you're—

if you have access to it, you're gonna take it.

The night that you are alleging all this happened, are you alleging that he was high that night? Did you see him take anything?

I don't know of a point in time where he probably wasn't high. I really don't know of a sober Stefon Diggs. I really don't know of a sober Stefon Diggs. I really don't know of him. And I feel like that's part of the reason why the tirade— and I don't want to talk about all of the kids that are coming down the pipeline. It's a lot to not talk about. It's a lot of topics to have to avoid. But I feel like part of the reason that that's taking place the way that it's taking place, and he's leaving all of these crumbs all over the place because he's on somewhat of a tirade. A lot of the things that they tried to point at the guy that's currently locked up about the, you know, I won't say his name, but currently locked up for crazy things. A very powerful music mogul.

Puff Daddy. Okay.

A lot of the things that they pointed to him and said he did, I don't know if the court could prove that he did it, but I've seen those things occur on the Dig side of things. Things. Like, I've seen it with my own two eyes, the drugging. I'm a— I'm a— he drugged me. Like, I've seen it. Had me beaten, had sent people to my crib. You want to talk about Rico? That's the Rico.

Wait a minute, how did— so you're alleging that he's— how did he drug you? Like, how does that happen?

Okay, so all night long he's offering me candy, and in my head I'm like, man, I don't want no candy, I'm cool. Like, it is what it is. You want some candy? Type— like, we used to do dumb things. Like, When we— we used to do dumb things. Like when we went to the strip club.

Yeah.

Um, we would take the jelly beans and, and, uh, Jelly Belly has this, uh, uh, specific pack of jelly beans that taste like nasty things. It's like hit or miss. One that might be like rotten eggs.

Oh yeah, yeah, I remember those. We used to play with those.

Bingo. So we doing that as grown men. Swap the bag out. You put them in the Skittles Yo, you want some this, that, and the third? Or you put them in like a regular jelly bean bag and you don't know that it's the fucked up ones, the ones that might be hit or miss, the— yeah, the trick-or-treat type shit.

Okay.

Um, and we would do that outside the club.

Okay.

So when he's offering me candy, I'm really thinking it's on something like, man, you trying to play with me. Nah, nah, nah, I don't want— nah, I don't want to do that because we've done it before. And like the rotten egg, uh, jelly beans, just normal Jelly Jelly beans.

So what type of candy did he offer you?

I think it was like a chocolate of some sort. And he kept offering, yo, you want some candy? You want some candy? This, that, and the third. And he eating normal, this, that, and the third. But now it's like 2, 3 o'clock in the morning. Man, give me a piece. So he gives me a piece of the candy. And what happened to me after that was not what would have occurred if I ate Hershey's, I'll tell you that.

Was it a mushroom?

No, I don't think it was a mushroom.

Did you know how they put the mushroom?

I don't think it was a mushroom.

What do you think it was?

I mean, from the side effects of what I felt, I would deem it more in the realm of like— and I don't know.

Okay.

If I had to surmise, I would say maybe in the realm of like ecstasy infused.

So you were aroused?

I was definitely sexually stimulated in ways that I had never been sexually stimulated before. My skin was sensitive. Sensitive to the touch. My eyes are blue. My eyes, my pupils were so big, my eyes looked black. And I really couldn't explain why I felt that way. My sex drive was through the roof. I'm trying to really pinpoint, what the fuck did I, what did I do? What am I doing? What's happening around me? And shortly thereafter, we ended up in the car. We were leaving maybe one, maybe the second location, I'm not sure. We end up in a car, two-seater Porsche, just us. And I say that to say it's not a lot of space, okay? We got more space between us right now than he and I had in this car. We damn near like this, this, and like— so on the ride home, back to that touch point of like, uh, finding the need and filling the void in order to have like that, uh, exchange in power so he can have that power over you, okay? At the point— at that point in time time, it was a lot of like fallacious claims coming toward me from a past relationship, and I had to battle for someone I loved. And as I was battling— my son— and as I'm battling for my son, I felt like I told him, I'm like, yo, bro. He's like, man, what's on your mind? You don't look like yourself. You look like you need some help. And I'm thinking to myself, I'm cool, for real. I mean, he said, nah, nah, nah, you can speak to me, bro. You talk What's he saying to me? So he telling me, he trying to get me to open up. I'm like, man, I don't really need shit. I mean, the fact that I can't see my son is really bothering me, but the main thing I need is a high-profile lawyer. So what, you need some money? I said, I don't need no money. I need like access to a high-profile lawyer. You got the name, you got the cachet. You could be able to get somebody on board to be able to walk with me down this path because the person I'm having to fight in court is coming at this point in time was backed by like, somebody who had like real long money that she didn't have to spend money on. Um, that plug was eventually pulled, but it is what it is. Uh, uh, uh, and I'm winning in that regard right now, thank God.

Okay, so you can see yourself. Yeah, yeah, he asking you to talk to him.

He's asking me to talk to him, and I'm telling him I need a high-profile lawyer. He's like, man, don't worry about no money, keep working on the, uh, keep working on the line. Um, because he was already paying me for the line. I'm getting like $10,000 here, $20,000 there, okay, just to keep me floating, because I told you I wouldn't sign official paperwork paperwork because I didn't want that dynamic between the brother, so on and so forth. And I saw the way that he treated his employees having paperwork, and I never wanted that looming over my head. So in the car, he like, man, just keep working on it. We get the lawyer, we throw the bread to him, it ain't about nothing. Just keep working on the line.

So he's telling you all of this in the car?

Telling me in the car. We pull up to the house. When we pull up to the house, he talking to me about all the girls that he got in the house. Now mind you, I was just at the house earlier, so it is a boatload of girls at the house. Spanish.

But he only left with you?

He left with me, but at the house it might be 20 girls.

And you said they were all Spanish?

Spanish girls that barely even spoke English. Like, I don't know, I remember for a point in time he was doing like Duolingo, like learning a word a day, a few words a day. But he was like very consistent in making sure that he took his Duolingo lessons, and he was like, you know, a year straight or some shit like that. But it made sense once I finally got to crib, seeing how Holmes was living. Oh, I see why you taking your Spanish lessons, so on and so forth. I don't know if you're shipping them in, shipping them out. I don't know. I can't— I don't know. But what I do know is what I saw. And in the kitchen, cooking and cleaning and serving him was all of these different Spanish women. And as they serving him, they don't speak English. They are just— maybe one or two do. They could translate.

Were they model-like?

Or not model-like?

Were they OnlyFans-like?

Yeah, I'd say that. It was built like they could make some money on OnlyFans. OnlyFans.

Okay.

Yeah, I see that. But that was earlier in the day. So he's telling me about all the girls in the house that he feel, this, that, and the third. And then, where my camera? This my camera?

Right there?

So he pulls his thing out and just starts doing his thing. And as he's doing his thing, I'm like, yo, bro, settle down. Like, what the fuck? You that horny? Like, you can't get yourself together till you in the house.

So he's— wait a minute, so you're telling me he's telling you about all the Spanish women in the house that he's feeling and he's driving?

He wasn't really talking about the Spanish— no, no, we pulled up at the house at this point. Okay, car's parked, the car's parked. We just wrapped the conversation about, uh, me needing a high-profile lawyer to walk into a courtroom with me. I'm battling to get my son back, so on and so forth. And as we're sitting there parked. He's like, man, I got all these bitches in the house, man. This shit crazy. Ah, don't quote me on that, but that's like pretty much what he's saying. So as he's like feeling on himself and like, man, it's about to be crazy, I'm going this motherfucker turn up, and I'm looking at him and I'm looking at the clock as well. It's like 4 in the morning. I'm just really trying to figure out where I'm gonna sleep because I'm leaving in the morning. I'm leaving tomorrow, uh, that next day. Or was I supposed to leave? I think I was supposed to leave the day after. No, the next day I was leaving his house, I was going to go from DC to visit Gervonta in Baltimore because he had just got out of jail.

Okay.

And I didn't end up doing that because of the up— the fact that I left so abruptly. I just went back to LA traumatized. Um, but back to the parking lot— I mean, back to his driveway, rather.

Okay.

So we're sitting in his driveway, and as he's touching on himself and feeling on himself and like talking through what he's about to do when he walk in the house and how the pretty much basically saying how horny and sexually stimulated he is in like street lingo. Pulls his man out, starts to play with himself. And I'm telling him, yo, bro, keep your composure. I'm trying to laugh it off because I'm like, what the fuck is wrong with you? Why you put that up? Like, what are you doing? And he reached over to me like, man, come on. And he got his thing in his hand. I'm like, what are you doing, bro? And he trying to like laugh and I put that shit up and he put it up. We get out the car. As we're walking— it's very uncomfortable to talk about— as we're walking toward the door, he put his arm around me and put his— he said, "Man, come to my room." And he put his like that, like put his tongue in my ear, like doing some weird shit. Walk into the house, spiral staircase leads directly to his bedroom. He goes up the staircase, I make a right. It's a very long hallway. I speed walk down this hallway, damn near run down this hallway, but not I'm running for my life. I'm trying to keep things low. I go to the bathroom, I'm trying to process my way out. How the fuck do I get out of here? Clearly this is an overstepping boundary. I've never seen him in this light before. What do I do? So I'm splashing water on my face, cold water for about 45 minutes, trying to get my senses back, trying to get my, like, trying to level out to a point of normality, trying to get to that, like, level of neutral that I'm used to being at, feel like myself. And I get I don't even know. I think I was just in there so long, I just got tired of it. But I'm looking at myself in the mirror and I'm like, man, you just gonna have to go out here and fight your way out if you have to. Mind you, it's like, I don't know, it might be security somewhere. I don't know, it might be another guy in the house. I don't know. I don't know if I'm about to get banked, jumped, raped. I don't— can I say that?

Yeah.

Okay. I don't know what the fuck is about to happen, but I'm walking out of this room room and I am fearful. And the second I walk out of that room, I was greeted by, I think it was 2 women and 1 male. And as I'm high, I'm just like trying to talk through the entire ordeal of, uh, making my way out of there, not trying to have no problem with him, not trying to have no problem with them. Just let me go. All I want to do is leave. I ain't gonna say nothing. We can go back to work as normal. Just don't do that no more. I don't know if you too high, I don't know if you lost it, I don't know if you tried your hand. And I think, and I know this is like a difference in severity, but I've been out with people who get too drunk and they do things that they wouldn't do had they not gotten so drunk.

So you were just—

me, I don't do drugs, so I don't really know what it feels like. Like, I smoke recreational marijuana, but aside from that, I even smoke like low low grade. I smoked the lowest grade weed the dispensary got. Yeah, no block work, no none of that. But anyways, like, I don't do drugs, so to be around somebody who was high in that regard is not something that's normal to me. I didn't grow up around that. I don't come from that. That's not like a part of my DNA. So I'm trying to equate it to that of somebody who might have got a tad too drunk or just started like doing— where I've seen girls try to kiss girls when they get drunk. I've seen girls kiss girls when they get drunk. I've seen, uh, a girl who is a friend to me try to make a move on me when she get drunk type shit. I'm like, yo, bro, we got boundaries or whatever the case is.

So you gave him the benefit of the doubt then?

I'm trying to. And it's in my best interest because I'm financially invested by way of this line that we're building. I'm going to have a percentage. I helped build the line. I helped come up with the name, all of the above. I got the messages to prove it. And as we talk through the entire situation, I'm not trying to just relinquish everything that I worked for just because you got a little too horny and Ah, reel it in. Don't do that again. Know my boundaries. And I probably won't be kicking it with you on like that one-to-one no more. I'm not going to put myself in that position no more. Probably won't get in the car with you again. I felt like I could navigate around it as opposed to having to like ostracize him. I could like distance myself tastefully and proceed with my life. But unfortunately, it didn't work that way. So directly after that, they They took my clothes off and just kind of like pressured me continually to—

They took your clothes off?

Yeah, they took my clothes off. They took my clothes off. They took all of my belongings.

So you're naked?

I got drawers on. I think they let me— I think I kept my drawers. It was a point in time where I'm like, yo, bro, y'all want to see me naked? Like, what the hell is this? And I'm standing there.

So where was Stephon?

Upstairs. Maybe with the girls. I really don't know what he was doing, but I haven't spoken to him since that. Since he got out of that car and went upstairs, I have never spoken to him again. Never.

So what about these text messages here that you got? And it looks like he's a— now I gotta say allegedly 'cause I wasn't there, but like he's saying in texts that you provided, "Come get this ass." bust. Yeah, how did this text message—

he's spinning it as if it was in regard to that of a basketball game. But even if you do, uh, subscribe to that mindset, me coming to this weekend of basketball festivities was the same— is the same, uh, time he tried me.

It says— now this, you're saying that this is from Stefon Diggs? This is a text message from Stefon Diggs? It's DM. It's a DM, and it says, like, don't trust these niggas, they out you, can't say too much around them, can't do too much around them, be the one, no cap, LMFAO. And then you said, love you for that, champ, 100%. I just sat and listened while they girl talk.

Correct.

So who was he talking about?

Odell.

He was talking about Odell. Okay, he got beef with Odell?

Oh, not publicly. Publicly he gonna act like that's his man, but privately, uh, I don't know. You— I— yeah, yeah, probably. Probably.

Yeah, probably. Yeah, you know, the sports— they said this— Michelle Obama said the sports world is like the Real Housewives of Atlanta.

I don't know, I feel like he might just be maybe a tad jealous of O'Dell, maybe.

I don't know. Okay.

He feel like O'Dell is— I don't want to force it on him.

Okay.

And I respect O'Dell, so I don't want to take it past a certain point.

So how did you get to where you had to file a police report? What happened?

I had to file a police report because of exactly what happened not being properly investigated. People weren't being properly held accountable. And the situation where Marshawn— so, Derez— okay, Marshawn Diggs, uh, was convicted in California. The reason he got convicted was because the state prosecuted him, called me and said that if I didn't show up, I would be arrested. So I go, they put me on a stand. Is this one of the people who was involved in the robbery? Just stand in the third. Yes. Okay, okay. But I didn't know the other two guys' names. He got off with probation. Because if you watch the video of the attack on my life in California, he waves his hand like this, and then the two other guys come from out of nowhere, and now they're coming to attack me. Okay, but since he didn't actually put his hands on me specifically, he got away with— he was— he had his charges, uh, he was convicted of that of, I think, aggravated assault or something along those lines, which Chalked up to just 2 years of probation. He has to pay me restitution for what they stole from me. But yeah, 2 years.

How much?

I mean, they took almost, I want to say, like $200,000 off my neck alone. And then all of the Chrome Hearts jewelry that I had in my bag that they stole from me, they took it to Stephon. And then I had to watch him go to Paris Fashion Week wearing all of my stuff, going into Monday Night Football wearing my stuff, so on and so forth. Then I got him on Instagram just in June. Soon as he's trying to, you know, keep things quietly working behind the scenes, you wearing my stolen property, dapping up the person who stole it from me. I know what you got in your hand. Yes, the answer is yes. Yes, he would have me source models for the brand from that of pornographic videos. Yes.

Is this him in the videos?

No. Oh, that's— I'm not gonna tell you who that is, but it's somebody that we both know. It's somebody who's known in the space. He's a colleague to both of us. And yeah, I'm sorry if anybody get embarrassed throughout the crossfire, but the truth got to be told. I could tell you're very kind of uncomfortable still doing this interview because It's like, you see, I speak about like my life and things of that nature, but when it comes to this, it's like, it's, it's like an open wound because I'm still dealing with it. I'm gonna lie to you, I thought this was— it might have been a setup. I gotta go to that— that's why my paranoia kicking. I gotta go to Dallas, Trevon play for the Cowboys. I'm getting threats on social media, I'm getting threats in my DMs left and right. I don't know where it's going to come from. They could have me in a back room somewhere. I might not make take it back to LA. Like, I don't know.

So are you, are you saying that Stephon sent his brothers for you?

Not his brothers. He sent Marshawn Diggs, which is his half-brother, him.

Okay.

The Derez Marshawn Diggs, uh, Corey Darnell Mack, who I guess was just tagged in by a guy named Charlie Chap Jordan, who is quote unquote like Stephon's head of security and now I guess his best friend or something along lines. How you 6'1" with a 5'6" security guard doesn't really make much sense to me unless he gonna crash out for you at any second. But yes, all three of them showed up to my property, um, where I was living at the time. The floor in which I lived is code-specific, so you can't get to the 16th floor if you don't live on the 16th floor unless you Postmates or something along those lines. They take my ID if I have too many packages and need the bell cart as collateral. So for somebody to be on my floor times 3 in all black on a holiday, and one of my neighbors— because it's not that many people, not, not that many units on the floor, maybe 8 units on the floor— one of my neighbors told security downstairs, hey, it's 3 strange guys just loitering on the floor, y'all should probably look into it. Nobody did anything. And when I got off the elevator, the first thing that they said to me was, what's up with all that chrome shit? In reference to like Chrome Hearts jewelry. Like I got Chrome Hearts tattoos on my neck and stuff like that, and I was doing really good like affiliating Gervonta with Chrome Hearts and Stephon with Chrome Hearts. And I had access to the store and things of that nature. Still do. And at that point in time, it was highly regarded, but they took all of my Chrome Hearts jewelry that I had in my bag and it was a holiday. So it just so happens, I'm leaving my girlfriend then, now fiancée, Alexa Montgomery's house on the way back to my downtown LA apartment. And it's the holiday. I don't have none of my jewelry on. It's early in the day. It's Memorial Day, but I know I'm gonna probably go to like a day party or something a little later. And I might not want to come out heavy. Plus I'm leaving her house. I'm not gonna leave all my jewelry there. I'm taking it home. So as I'm getting off the elevator, in my toiletry bag, Goyard toiletry bag, is a boatload of— think of it like a jewelry box damn near at that point in time, just how locked and loaded it was with all of my stuff. The chains that were on my neck, I never take off at that point in time. But what was in the bag is just a boatload of Chrome Hearts jewelry, one-of-one pieces, certain pieces that are extremely limited, things of that nature. And they took took it off.

So in this file you got pictures. They took it to him and now he's wearing it during the game.

He's wearing it in walking into Monday Night Football. It's on video. He's wearing it, dapping up the same guy that stole it from me.

Well, maybe it's a piece for you that he never was coming.

That's what I think, honestly. I feel like he feel like— I don't know, he wanted like my DNA attached to him or touching his skin. It's almost kinky in that regard, in my opinion. but it is what it is. At the end of the day, right is right, wrong is wrong, and I can't stand next to the wrong and not say nothing, especially when it's my life involved.

You got printed up here, it says, Stefan Diggs drugged me in Maryland without me knowing during the weekend of his charity basketball game that I was invited to play in. He made a sexual attempt on me as I was under the influence, where I denied him, and one week later, three of his employees were at my door of my apartment, armed and attempting to unalive me to protect Stefan's closeted homosexual desires.

Fact. Fact.

That's loaded.

Fact. Loaded with fact. It's fine, I can stack the deck a little bit more. All facts. This right here.

Yes. What is all this stuff?

So this is what ignited a lot when he was in Houston. Houston. Okay, the Bills played the Texans when Stephon was traded to Houston. The Bills played the Texans. Mind you, his old team was the Bills. Okay, clearly in this he's in a Bills, uh, two-piece sweatsuit standing next to Charlie Chaplin. This photo to the left, he's in Houston, free Chap on his eye black. And Chap was convicted, though the, the public had The world of detention is asking who this Chap character is. As the internet does a deep dive, they figure out that that's the same person that was involved in the robbery against me. I want you to keep that up though, 'cause in this photo is all the drugs and the guns. You see all those guns?

Yeah.

All of those guns, all of those drugs. This is what Charlie Chap Jordan was arrested for. Free Chap is on his face being broadcasted to anybody watching an NFL game at that point in time for these crimes. So financing this person to be off of these charges is this individual who also sent this individual to my home to snatch the property off my neck, beat me, rob me, all of the above, and attempt to take my life. They telling me, I stab you in your motherfucking neck right now, as they kick me in my head, stomped on my face. You put a boot to my face. Nah, it don't go like that. So I can't be quiet. And if I am quiet, that's where they— that's where they can thrive. If I say nothing, they can stand next to Sarah Jessica Parker in an Ugg ad. That makes absolutely no sense to me. And the irony of him even being a Patriot right now, coming off the heels of everything Aaron Hernandez did, is damn near Aaron Hernandez 2.0. Like, this is crazy that the NFL is not investigating this. It doesn't have an open investigation, and I know aware. For a fact, I know they're aware.

Well, do you know, have you ever seen any pink, uh, powder bags around him?

I've seen white powder bags around him. I've seen pink powder bags around him. I've seen blue powder bags.

To your knowledge, what are in those bags?

I, I remember we had a conversation once about a friend of ours who was who is recovering from drugs.

Okay.

And had just got out of rehab. Not recently. Not, not even in the frame of time that I knew the individual. I was just talking to somebody that we both mutually knew in the fashion world. I was like, oh, you know, they, they don't do this, that, and the third because it could trigger their addiction. He just told me that because I was coming out of a meeting with this person.

Okay.

And he like, what was he addicted to? I said, man, he had a cocaine problem. And I ain't shit. I always keep a little bit of cocaine. Book on me. I tread carefully because I don't have it in writing, but verbally, yes. Fact. Fact.

Okay.

NFL, conduct your investigation. I ain't cap.

You, you, your sole intention is to ensure that he doesn't get to do this to anybody else again.

You will never do this to nobody else again. And what you won't do is get away with what you did to me. It's not about a dollar amount. It's not about, uh—

But I was going to ask, aren't you— won't— why aren't you suing him? I know you pursue criminally, and all of this here is a lot. Like, you have text messages.

Maybe he's about to get sued. Maybe he's about to get sued.

Are you about to sue him? Well, I know you— in reality, you're not supposed to really talk about it, But, you know.

I do have an active suit right now against my building for their negligence having let them up, so on and so forth. But in regard to Stefon Diggs, it may or may not be a civil suit underway.

Okay.

And you'll be the first to know.

I hope so. We are the leader in the entertainment news out here.

Indeed, indeed, indeed.

And you got— It's just— and what I'm going through, uh, to the viewers is just basically, you know, pictures, text messages of him. Basically, you're just building a case. That's your chain?

Yeah, this is the chain. And this is the same person who stole that?

You were robbed? So why hasn't the police come to, to take it? They were already convicted of the other stuff, so why not?

Famous NFL backing, which is why I I say, if I said no— put it like this. If George Floyd— respect the dead, God bless the dead— if George Floyd's situation was never captured on camera, you think the world would be marching in his behalf? You think if nobody— if you think if people were quiet about what occurred to that man, I think his name is Derek Chauvin or whatever the case is, you think if people were quiet there would be the uproar socially? No, you have to speak. You can't get justice in your name in today's day and age against the rich and the rich and famous, if you do not speak. Back in the day, you just couldn't get it off because they were rich and famous. They'll suppress you. Media was controlled.

These days, you speak up, you tell the truth for long enough, well, I would say you did, you did, like, because a lot of victims, they just go straight to the, to the financial court, right? But you went straight to the police. You gathered all of your receipts.

Hello.

You were able to, you know, get justice in that regard.

Yeah.

Okay. Of his brother and, you know, not quite though.

That case is about to be reopened. Okay, 1,000%. And those two assailants, uh, the Corey Darnell Mack figure, the Charlie Chap Jordan figure that's probably at the Patriots organization with Stephon right now, both of them are being brought in for sure, for certain. I just didn't know their names.

Okay.

And the difference is, because I had a fallout with Drake because of this, where You're unaware? So on January 7th, and the day sticks out in my head because it was also the same day as the Eaton Canyon fires, which took place and had my family relocate and all of the above. But the situation with Drake went viral on the internet after he told me that I was ratting on Stefon. And I came back at him and I'm like, bro, how the fuck am I ratting on Stefon if this is a business relationship? Relationship. I don't know Stephon from committing crime with Stephon. I know Stephon from working with Stephon on just business. That's it. If we kick it, no different than me, uh, going out with one of my superiors and swiping the corporate car for whatever meal we have that night. Technically, that's a business dinner. If we go to Fashion Week together, technically that's a business trip. This ain't somebody I'm committing crime with. This ain't my co-conspirator. Now, when these charges come against Corey Donnell Mack and Charlie Jordan, with already what's occurred with Derez Marshon Diggs, if they tell on each other, that's telling. Y'all are co-conspirators. Y'all went into this crime-committing situation, and Marshon posted directly after talking about, I took an oath. I don't know what type of mafioso situation y'all think y'all got, but come on, bro. Like, that's not even how we coming. Y'all co-conspirators are going to figure out what quote-unquote telling actually is when y'all get in that hot proxy. What won't occur is my situation be swept under the rug. And to the Drake— to the comments about Drake, he wrote a follow-up message to me saying, bro, I don't got all the facts. You don't call somebody a rat, you don't call somebody a snitch if you don't have all the facts. The actual thing that you need is all the facts to call somebody a snitch.

So what did he say to that?

He said he was gonna find a different, uh, channel to get back to me when he got some time, and this, that, and the third. And it just was really rubbing me from, but where I come from and the worlds that I operate in, when you say things like snitch and rat, that come with like a not only a negative connotation that your children and your family got aware because it highlights a certain element of dishonesty, disloyalty, all of the above, but it can be violent ramifications that come behind that when, when people want to keep you suppressed and keep you quiet. So the first thing I did was speak up. The second thing I did was while I was speaking up, put the facts on the table so people could realize this is not a matter of opinion. I'm only here to speak in matters of fact, which is why I go back to my mother's advice about trimming the fat and keeping the jokes to a minimum while speaking on fact. Let's talk about the main thing. Let's keep the main thing main, and I'm gonna hold it right there. That's all I got to say about that. I mean, we can talk about whatever. I'm just saying, like, no, I got you, I got you.

Yeah, so I didn't even know Drake had chimed in.

Yeah, and it pissed me off because he was living in Houston at the time, and when he made that comment— I got relationship with all of them, but I seen like Chubbs on unfollowed me. Then Drake unfollowed me, and I immediately hit Drake after. I'm like, damn, bro, all we've been through, this how you coming? Like, the fuck? And I broke down. I started breaking down, like, certain points throughout my career that were attributed— I got my OVO tatted, October's very own, his birthday 2 days before mine. So for a long time, as I was like coming up in the industry and shit like that, when I had no money, I would go to his party and that'd be the time of my life. You mean, think about it, all of the girls, food, food. It's probably like a weekend event, Vegas, LA, whatever the case, big theme. And then after that, a couple days later, my parents could take me to Denny's, I wouldn't give a damn about nothing.

What are you going through now? I mean, karma has a way of—

uh, but that's what we were talking about. I'm like, how? And I was supporting him through his situation. I'm top comment, and you want Drake— you can only comment on Drake's page if he follow you. I'm like top comment rooting for him throughout the whole Kendrick battle, same way I did in when I was living in DC in the Pusha shit. And I had all my friends was tight with Pusha. Even like Steven Victor, who was, uh, helping me with the Gervonta stuff at a point in time. Pusha was at the fights, at the after parties with us, and by way of my, uh, OVO affiliations, I wouldn't even talk to the man, wouldn't even make eye contact with the man, just out of loyalty to Drake and OVO and them. And that's, that's the stance I took, despite the mutual friends and all that, despite living in the same city where Pusha was living and all that. And it really, really rubbed me wrong that the one ounce of controversy I I get you take this story and run with it. Whole time you got this, that, and the third going on where you basically trying to pull a label's card for doing for somebody else what they did for you. But again, that's your business.

He's going after the people that actively came after him and speaking up, so why can't you do the same thing?

It's the same thing I said to him, and I think maybe he understands that now as opposed to then. But then calling me a rat just kind of put me in a, a very uncertain state because I didn't know which way it would go. At this point in time, like, me even coming from Baltimore— when you grow up in a city like Baltimore, you could be in the street and not even know you in the street. Like, you could be on the sidewalk and find your way in the street just by way of proximity. You can have one friend that's involved in something, and next thing you know, you involved in it because you hung around them too long, just by affiliation and proximity. So with that said, when certain things are coming my way and, and I'm hearing things outside and messages is coming by way of this person and that person. I got a family to protect. I got a name to protect. I got a legacy to protect. And I worked too damn hard for too damn long and been the lifeline and bloodline for a lot of prominent figures to be out here being played with all because some guy tried me one night. And because I said no, he tried to dumb me off. That doesn't make sense to me. If you would have tried me, kept it cool, did your thing, this, that, and the third. And people disagree with me when I say I hate to say this, but if he would have went back into close quarters and it would have been cool, I would have been fine with never speaking to him again. And I go my way, you go your way. I would have also been fine with having a conversation with him and saying, yo bro, it's cool. Don't do no dumb shit like that again. And we'll just continue working on the line. Respect my boundaries. It is what it is. Granted, that would have came with a for sure level of distance. Like I'm never putting myself that close to you again. We're not even going to find ourselves in those parameters. Gonna happen, but we could still coexist because that— I guess I'm just forgiving. I don't know. I'm not gonna forget. I'm in control of my money.

Like I said, like that goes back to what I said. A lot of people will see this as outing, but it's like, like you said, you would have— you wouldn't have said anything had the robbery from his people wouldn't have taken place.

Yeah. And then he ran this narrative as if to the whole industry, as if I robbed— I was trying to rob him. My question to him is, if I robbed you— and I said this— if I robbed you, then how would I leave your house with absolutely nothing, and then you post my $2,000 suitcase with my CBG bag tag on it still at your property? Then you bragging about the fact that I left your house with no shoes on. I left with absolutely nothing in a car that I didn't even call. They stuffed me in a car, the worst clothes you could imagine, a suitcase you— I don't even know what was in the suitcase, probably nothing nothing, but it was a suitcase I wouldn't even give a homeless person. And I use that respectfully, you know what I mean? This suitcase was so ran down versus my Ramoa trunk.

Yeah, I mean, you came up in here with the nice—

that's the— thank you so much. But that's the little baby. That's not even the big one. The big trunk is what I'm talking about. And I'm, I'm styling to a certain degree, so I'm always pulling up with extra clothes. And my suitcase is probably $100,000 to $150,000 worth of stuff. Jeans alone is probably like $60,000 if like Chrome Hearts, one-of-one pieces, custom-made things in that nature. And then you factor in like Gallery Department alterations and just very, very high-level stuff. I'm chopping jeans down that was a 36 to make them a 29 and fit me. So it comes with like a high level of precision, a very like intense level of detail. And I care about my things. But aside from that, I left with nothing. You tell the public I left with nothing. You run a smear campaign about my name. So I can't work with the same people I was just working with. Meanwhile, you standing next to Sarah Jessica Parker, parker, got all my property, know I left your house with absolutely nothing, and then claim you sent people to my house, which is also illegal, sent people to my house to retrieve stolen property when you clearly just said that I left your house with nothing. So how did I walk out the door with your property in a car that your team called that I didn't even know the end destination? I get to the airport, and just by way of the fact that I showed up to DC with a round trip, I was able to go to the American Airlines desk, modify my reservation because I had my ID, and they put me on the next thing smoking. I don't even have shoes on. I have no shoes on in this bullshit-ass suitcase. In this suitcase might be a pair of socks, but it's not my belongings. My suitcase, my bag tag, my belongings, things I have receipts for, are still at his house. Then he posts like a wardrobe for like a year all over the floor talking about I had all of this in one suitcase. I couldn't pack all that in one suitcase if my life depended on it. So to save my life, I walked out with absolutely nothing, and the first thing I did was start gathering the evidence and the facts. 7 days later, however many days later— May 29th is the date of the incident that occurred in LA, May 29th, 2023. Soon as I get off the elevator, and it pains me because I had on a hat, and I see the same photos of my son in the elevator with that hat. I see the same photos of that hat being beaten off of my head, and now there is Marshawn is wearing that hat. And then I see the same, uh, hat now being worn by Stephon, uh, at the track while he's training. And I'm thinking to myself like, so you're doing it the fuck—

you think he is?

No, for sure I'm being taunted. I know I'm being taunted, but the world of attention don't know that, especially especially if I don't say that. So it is what it is. And the world of attention don't understand how exclusive some of these Chrome Hearts pieces are. If it's only 10 that exist, we can use some deductive reasoning to figure out where you got it from. If it's only one that exists, you don't need no damn deductive reasoning. You just need one receipt. That's it.

I think we have covered a lot. And I do, um, because, you know, I was thinking about this I was like, I hope he's ready. You know, my platform is very in they face. It pisses off a lot of people. And you know, I hate that this has affected your work.

Yeah, man, it's sad. It's sad. It's very frustrating because at the end of the day, I find peace in knowing that I have the ability to articulate on my own behalf. And I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful for the fact that I walked out of that situation with my life. I'm grateful for the fact that it forced me to walk in my own light and not in the shadows of others. I'm grateful for the fact that I still have all my faculties. I can still speak. Even though they stole a world of evidence, I lost a couple strong phones, and my phones are like my hard drives. So I actually didn't even have anything placing me at his house during the night of this incident, 4 AM, so on and so and so forth. This goofball gets on Instagram late June and posts with the timestamp in the 4 AM to 5 AM hour at his home with the location, me being harassed by— and you see Derez Marshon in the— I didn't even know that was him. He's standing there calling me a liar, telling me this, that, and the third, telling me to shut up. They asking me if this is mine or Stephon, and I'm saying it's mine. Every single time they ask me if something is mine, I'm saying it's mine. She asked me about cash in my bag. Is this yours? I said it's a few dollars, like $4 in my bag. The fuck are we talking about, man? And then a week later, these guys in my crib trying to dumb me off. No, it don't go like that. I'm not going like that. But the fact that I have my ability to speak— shit, you never know, I could end up on the Joe Budden podcast or something.

I'm glad that you, uh, you know, we were able to unwind everything because like I said, the story that's out there is just so— it's like it's here and it just keeps coming up, coming up, coming up, coming up.

Stop.

And I don't think you should.

Honestly though, him passing the— it was two things that made it resurface. I ain't even gonna give all the credit to myself. Last fall it resurfaced because of the free chap on the iBlack. That's probably when it landed on your radar. Yeah, initially it was the TMZ headline that came out, um, because Derez Marshon Diggs also played in the NFL and it was attached to that of Stefon Diggs and Trevon Diggs.

Where's he at right now? And he's not playing anymore.

Hell I don't know. I have no idea where he is. He works for his brother's line, Liam. He might be performing more hits. I, I have no— I have no idea.

Not a professional hitman.

I have no idea. I do know that for somebody who has come up from the inner city, like bumping my head, so on and so forth, coming from a place like Baltimore, Maryland, to put myself back in a trick bag of retaliating the way they retaliated against me, I'm not playing that game. So to Drake, whom I have the world of respect and love for, brother, we got to grow up, champ. That the same way you fighting that UMG battle is the same way I'm fighting this battle, by way of legality, by way of the facts. And if I have the facts to prove it, it ain't too much to talk about, man. I ain't got time to play. I'm not crashing out and going spend time away from my children all because I got to respond to somebody being frivolous with the way that they, they go about their response. I can't play that game. I won't meet you where you are. I'll meet you somewhere else though. And where I'm going, you're gonna have to meet me. Telling you.

Well, Drake, all right, you want to tell everybody, you know, what you got coming up, where they can find you, follow you, support you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So is there any more male victims out there, or just victims in general? Um, yeah, I'm sure Chris will Yeah, so Chris Blake, I am—

you can find me on Instagram, Chris Blake Griffith on Instagram. That's C-H-R-I-S-B-L-A-K-E-G-R-I-F-F-I-T-H. Um, I'm Chris Blake Griffith on YouTube as well. Uh, currently on all streaming platforms is Chris Blake the Mixtape. Coming in October though, we got CB vs. the World, where I'm gonna touch on just a world of a lot that's going on. Covering bases.

All right.

Yeah. Cheers to that.

All right. To the future and to justice.

To justice.

To justice.

Do you, uh, watch podcasts, or do you get into TV? Okay, okay.

Which podcast should I watch though? Give me—

I'm trying to figure out where Melissa Ford is.

Oh, I could, I could, uh—

No, no, no, no, not get to her. I'm— she missed like the last 6 episodes or some shit like that on the JB VP. So the world of detention is asking questions like, where's Melissa Ford?

Well, I'll ask her right now. I'll call her. I didn't even know she was missing.

Yeah, no, she's missing.

So everybody's—

they got her on a milk carton. They trying to figure out, is she on vacation? No, she ain't on vacation.

Is she doing the Hot and Bothered podcast?

Yeah, that's all she posted. She didn't go to his birthday.

I'm talking— I'll call her. I actually need to get over there to a podcast.

I'm telling you.

Okay, thank you Thank you for the wine. I appreciate it. Okay, cool, cool. All right, and look at that camera and say, now you gotta go.

I gotta go. I gotta get back to these babies. My daughter and them is at Disneyland right now with my significant other, my lady Alexa. I love you, Milo Blake. I love you, Scotland Bell. I love you. And, uh, Justice is coming for Chris Blake sooner than you know. Just watch the next step progress. All right, you know it.

All right, we out.

Bye.

Boom. Okay, shake.

How long was that?

That was probably an hour and a half.

I just broke it too.

It's cool, but I liked— I don't try to control because it's all about the person feeling comfortable. So that's why I'm
