    Inside Diddy's Empire: Former Insiders Reveal Threats, Sex Allegations, and a Culture of Power Abuse

    Sean "Diddy" Combs, once hailed as a music mogul and cultural icon, is now facing a devastating reckoning as former employees and industry insiders come forward with allegations of threats, sexual misconduct, and corporate funds being used to facilitate a toxic work environment. Daniel Evans, a former music executive at Bad Boy Records, recalls a chilling moment in 1997 when Combs allegedly threatened a colleague's life in his New York office. "I have so much money now that I could hire someone to kill you, and nobody would know," Evans remembers him saying. At the time, Combs had just received a $6 million payout for the label's success, solidifying his status as one of the most powerful figures in the industry. Bad Boy Records, home to The Notorious B.I.G. and other top artists, quickly became known for its extravagant parties, high-profile events, and a culture that former employees now say enabled troubling behavior. Evans and others allege that Combs often had sex with women inside the label's Daddy's House recording studio and that company money was used to fly in women from around the country at the request of Combs, artists, and executives. “There was a course of conduct that became more egregious over time,” said attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents multiple alleged victims. One lawsuit accuses Combs of raping a woman at a 1995 promotional event for The Notorious B.I.G. She alleges that after the assault, Combs warned her, “You will disappear.” Combs has denied all allegations, with his legal team calling the lawsuits "fabricated accusations" and claiming the hip-hop mogul "never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone." However, multiple former employees paint a picture of an empire fueled by unchecked power. Felicia Newsome, who managed the Daddy's House studio from 1994 to 2000, recalls being called in the middle of the night after an employee refused to fetch condoms for Combs. “I told him, ‘Don't ever ask anyone here to get condoms,'” she said. Despite warnings from some senior staff, Bad Boy Records was largely run by young executives and interns, some of whom were underage. Evans remembers a 14-year-old intern propositioning him. "She said, ‘If you ever want to get loose, you and I should kick it… but not tonight, I have a curfew.'” Shocked, Evans sent her home, but weeks later, she was back working in the mailroom. Reports of sexual exploitation escalated over the years. Crystal McKinney, a model, alleges that Combs drugged and assaulted her at the studio in 2003. That same year, another woman claims she was gang-raped by Combs and two associates when she was 17. Combs's reputation further deteriorated after surveillance footage surfaced showing him physically assaulting ex-partner Casandra Ventura in 2016. Ventura, who filed the first of many lawsuits against him, alleged years of abuse, violence, and sex trafficking before settling out of court. Many in the industry who once admired Combs are now questioning whether they ever truly knew the man behind the empire. "One could think that he's just a disgusting human being, but that's not my memory of Puff," said longtime friend Jimmy Maynes. "Or maybe money just gives people the freedom to be exactly who they really are, and he was that guy all along." As Combs awaits trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, more details are expected to emerge, leaving his once-glorified legacy in ruins. #Diddy #BadBoyRecords #MusicIndustry #SexTrafficking #HipHop #Lawsuit #CelebrityScandal Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

    The fight for America's future isn't just at the ballot box—it's in the culture. The Left's grip on media, education, and storytelling has reshaped the nation, but their misinformation is starting to crumble. Politics alone won't save us—conservatives must reclaim the culture and shape the values that define our country. Andrew Klavan joins The Kevin Roberts Show for a must-listen conversation on why, and how, we must fight back. The Left has used storytelling to rewrite America—now it's time to take it back. Andrew Klavan is the host of "The Andrew Klavan Show" for the Daily Wire and author of such internationally bestselling crime novels as True Crime, filmed by Clint Eastwood, Don't Say A Word, filmed and starring Michael Douglas and Empire of Lies. Stephen King called him “the most original novelist of crime and suspense since Cornell Woolrich.” As a screenwriter, Andrew wrote the screenplays to “A Shock to the System,” which starred Michael Caine, “One Missed Call,” which starred Edward Burns, and “Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer,” starring Dean Cain. He also wrote the script for the groundbreaking iOS app, “Haunting Melissa,” which won the 2014 Appy Award for Entertainment.

C'est par la guerre que la Russie des tsars est entrée dans le concert des nations européennes. L'URSS s'est posée en champion de la paix et de l'amitié entre les peuples, mais c'est par la guerre qu'elle est devenue une superpuissance, avant de s'effondrer.Dans le discours identitaire russe actuel, l'orthodoxie et la guerre, dans leur dimension sacrificielle, occupent de plus en plus de place. Depuis 2000, le régime de Vladimir Poutine pratique une politique de repli agressif qui a engendré des « opérations militaires » aux ambitions croissantes, débouchant sur l'invasion de l'Ukraine en 2022. Il mobilise l'Histoire, de même que les ressources matérielles et humaines du pays, mais, paradoxalement, refuse encore de se déclarer en guerre.Pour mieux comprendre l'actualité, ce livre se donne le recul du temps long, du règne d'Ivan le Terrible à nos jours, depuis la prise de Kazan sur la Volga (1552) et la première tentative de conquête russe des pays baltes (1558-1583), jusqu'aux événements de 2022-2023.L'auteur, l'historien et spécialiste Pierre Gonneau est notre invité, en partenariat avec le Salon du livre d'Histoire de Versailles.

    In this episode, I discuss the problem of unclear economic thinking in Biblical scholarship. Terms like ‘capitalism' and ‘socialism' are often left undefined by the scholars who employ them, and the vague cultural notion that ‘capitalism' is about evil and greed while ‘socialism' is about virtue and charity characterizes the use of economic language in scholarship on the Bible. I discuss how many excellent scholars nevertheless make Jesus out to be a modern socialist despite doing excellent historical work on ancient economic systems. I define capitalism as it is understood by the Austrian school as a theory of private capital accumulation based on absolute respect for property rights. I then explain how modern economic concepts are foreign to ancient thinkers. I read through Luke 12:13-34 and explain the historical questions which need to be asked to accurately interpret this passage and explain how modern interpreters gloss over Jesus's statements on wealth and charity with an uncritical appeal to socialism. I then explore this dynamic by reviewing the work of two New Testament scholars, Richard Horsley and Douglas Oakman, who do excellent historical analysis on ancient economic and political systems but impose modern socialist ideas onto the texts while coming to the incorrect political conclusions that all our modern problems are a result of capitalism on ‘capitalism', when the real problem are socialist policies that they support. They allow their biases to determine interpretive outcomes. I also reveal that I am writing a book about all of this which I hope will be published in 2026.   Media Referenced:LVM vs. N.T.

    Un Jour dans l'Histoire
    1913, Scandales à Vienne et à Paris : la musique devient moderne

    Un Jour dans l'Histoire

    Nous sommes le 31 mars 1913 à Vienne. C'est dans la grande salle de la « Musikverein » (l'Association de musique) où, depuis 1870, toute la bonne société de l'Empire austro-hongrois vient applaudir la crème de la crème, qu'est organisé ce que l'histoire va retenir sous le nom de « Skandalkonzert ». On y joue les œuvres de Schönberg, Berg et Webern, trois compositeurs dont la musique atonale va malmener les oreilles du public. A tel point que quelques paires de gifles vont se perdre au sein de l'honorable assemblée qui ne va pas se priver de faire voler les chaises. C'est une véritable émeute qui force la police à intervenir ! Deux mois plus tard, la scène se répète : nous sommes à Paris, au théâtre des Champs-Elysées. Dès le début de la représentation du « Sacre du printemps », l'œuvre de Stravinsky, créée ce soir-là, c'est une éruption qui jaillit de la salle. Deux camps se forment : celles et ceux qui soutiennent la musique dissonante, rugueuse, révolutionnaire et les autres qui pensent qu'on se paie leur tête. Ici aussi, le public huppé oublie ses bonnes manières : on s'injurie, on se frappe … les musiciens ne s'entendent plus jouer. Alors que racontent ces deux mémorables soirées ? Ni plus ni moins que l'invention de la musique moderne. Une musique qui cherche à se désengluer des siècles passés. C'est le cas, à la même époque, pour la peinture, la littérature, la philosophie… Dans l'Europe entière, on propose de nouvelles formes, de nouveaux concepts, mais l'abstraction étonne, détonne. Le public n'est pas mûr. Toutefois, la modernité finira par s'imposer … pour le ravissement des unes et des uns et la rage des autres. « Il faut être absolument moderne » avait écrit Arthur Rimbaud, une quarantaine d'années plus tôt dans « Une saison en enfer » : a-t-il été entendu ? Entrons dans ce monde d'énigmes, de contradictions, d'inventions, ce moment de révolution... Avec nous : Cyril Azouvi. « L'invention de la musique moderne – Vienne, Paris, 1913 » ; Perrin.

    Episode #307: Ashley South's exploration of Myanmar began as a journey into the unknown. He first worked with Karen refugees in Thailand, where he struggled to deal with the many cultural and religious differences. But over time, his understanding of Myanmar was transformed, deepening his connection with the people.Traveling extensively through Kachin, Shan, and Mon states, South's insights reveal Myanmar not as a true “nation state,” but more a tapestry of distinct, ethnic identities, and a colonial creation held together by force. While advocating for the assertion of ethnic identities, he highlights the challenges of ethnic identity politics, acknowledging the risks of an exclusionary movement and intragroup conflict, like the fragmented Karen nationalist movement. For South, an inclusive, federal government is the only way forward that would prevent Myanmar from fragmenting into isolated enclaves.The impact of climate change is another key concern for South. He explains that rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and extreme weather events will severely impact Myanmar, particularly its agricultural base. Coastal regions like the Irrawaddy Delta face significant risks due to rising sea levels, which could displace millions."I don't expect the state of Myanmar to recover in my lifetime, partly for political reasons," he says soberly towards the end of the discussion. "But also [stemming from] the impacts of climate change, I think that these are going to be devastating. And so I don't expect a coherent Myanmar state to recover. I think that does have massive humanitarian implications, which will inevitably drive huge suffering and displacement, which are not things to celebrate. But also it does create a political opportunity for the reemergence of these identities and associated political spaces that have arguably really been suppressed since the emergence of the modern nation-state."
