• The REAL Reason Netflix Made The Diddy Documentary W/ 50 CENT (IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK) LOON Reacts

  Loon reacts to 50 Cent’s Netflix Diddy documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning, breaking down the Diddy doc scene by scene, the edit, the missing context, and what it really means for the culture. Loon reacts to 50 Cent’s Netflix Diddy documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning, breaking down the Diddy doc scene by scene, the edit, the missing context, and what it really means for the culture. This ain’t just “yo that was crazy” commentary — it’s a slow walk through how Netflix told this story, why it feels like two different documentaries smashed into one, and how 50 Cent’s name ended up carrying weight for a narrative he didn’t fully control. Loon talks about the pre-arrest footage, the “illegal tapes” conversation, the jurors, the Cassie part, the way the abuse is framed, and the weird spots where the doc backs off instead of really landing the plane. From there he zooms out: why big platforms love using familiar faces from the culture as shields, how the Diddy doc lines up with the lawsuits and headlines, and why this project might be more of a setup for the next move than a final word. He ties it into the bigger ideas he’s been on — “arrive alive” instead of dying on the climb, old heads acting as defluencers instead of leaders, kids cosplaying depressed and gangsta because that’s what the stories teach them, and what it really costs to make it through all this without ending up bitter, beat up, or broke. If you watched Sean Combs: The Reckoning and walked away confused, this is the breakdown.

• Dr Umar On Candace Owens Death Threats + Deion & Shedeur Sanders + Target Boycott + FDMG SHUT DOWN

  Dr Umar Johnson sits with Loon to talk Candace Owens, Deion Sanders, Shedeur Sanders, the Target boycott, Trump’s DEI rollbacks, racist GoFundMe rules and the Times Square Black woman statue in Hour 3. In this clip, Umar breaks down why boycotting Target and running to Costco isn’t Black power if we don’t own anything, how DEI got gutted under Trump, and why directing Black dollars without Black ownership is just “rearranging the plantation.” He walks Loon through Rodney Hinton, Luigi Maloney and the viral white woman who made a million dollars off a racist rant—using those cases to show how GoFundMe will happily fund white violence while shutting down Black causes and even his own school campaign. Umar calls it “digital segregation” in real time, not a glitch in the system. From there they zoom in on symbolism: the casual, unemployed-looking Black woman statue in Times Square. Umar argues that in the richest business district in America, choosing that image to represent Black women—while Black women are the most educated demographic in the country—is not an accident, it’s messaging. They tie in Michael Jackson, Prince, Marvel and Black Panther, then slide into validation culture: white partners, PWIs, suburbs, Benzes and “being chosen” by white institutions as trophies for bruised Black egos. That same validation, Umar says, makes celebrities easy to buy and easy to use against their own people. Trump comes back into the convo as Umar explains how his era made open racism popular again and gave police and institutions a “Trump immunity” energy, while DEI programs quietly rolled back and barely helped Black folks even when they were funded. Later, Loon steers things to Deion Sanders and Shedeur Sanders: HBCUs, Colorado, the NFL draft and how a projected top-end quarterback ended up much lower than expected, costing tens of millions but still being used for clicks, ratings and jersey sales. Umar frames it as a lesson in power: “The league is bigger than any one family.” They wrap with Candace Owens—why Umar feels she’s ducking a real sit-down on a Black platform or at an HBCU, how interracial marriage and “snow bunny” politics fit into her brand, and why conservative sponsors might treat an honest debate with him as too risky for their image. This is executive-level conversation: history, money, sport, media and psychology all in the same hour.

• The REAL Reason "T-Pain EXPOSES DJ Khaled's Fake Brotherhood to Shannon Sharpe!" Loon Reacts

  T-Pain Exposes DJ Khaled “Brother” Game, Labels Want Spotify Raise, DEI Money Vanishes for Pods In this solo episode, Loon breaks down why T-Pain’s “nobody is your brother” rant on Shannon Sharpe hit harder than people think, what it really means when DJ Khaled uses “brother” like a promo code, and how the family word gets weaponized to cloak bad business in music and media. From Ace Hood’s seven-figure exit from We The Best to labels quietly pushing Spotify to raise prices while keeping artist splits the same, Loon explains why music is still on a rookie contract, how Netflix vs cable exposed the new “add-on hustle,” and why AI plus streaming turned fans into secret investors. Then he pivots to podcasting: DEI checks drying up, black creators getting cut when the government paperwork changes, the Joe Budden universe, “sous-chefs” getting bravado off someone else’s work, and why pods like Need to Know and Bigger Picture struggled once DEI budgets disappeared. Loon lays out why he refuses pity-party money, how he’s retraining his audience to pay for value, and what it means for the future of It’s Up There Podcast. 00:00 – Intro, holidays & “fish sandwich vs fishing rod” 03:12 – T-Pain on Shannon Sharpe: “Nobody is your brother” 03:53 – DJ Khaled, the “brother” promo code & being used 08:13 – Weaponizing the family word in music & business 10:28 – Roc La Familia, mob names & fake “family” labels 12:35 – T-Pain’s legacy vs putting people on 15:05 – “If they make the sea, I make the sail” – Loon’s method 15:25 – Ace Hood vs DJ Khaled: 7-figure exit from We The Best 17:02 – Clip: Ace Hood explains the million-dollar number 20:43 – Connecting T-Pain, Ace Hood & Khaled’s sweet spot 22:11 – Labels push Spotify to raise prices 24:21 – Netflix vs cable: devaluing live TV & changing behavior 27:03 – Add-on hustle: subscriptions as the new cable 27:39 – Artists still hustling like it’s the 80s 29:34 – AI, labels & training models on artist voices 31:13 – Labels renegotiate subscriptions, not artist splits 33:45 – Streaming, secret shareholders & rookie contracts 35:11 – Knife vs pie: who controls splits in music 35:38 – Podcasting leaves its rookie deal 36:55 – Bigger Picture & Need to Know podcast cancellations 38:36 – Clip: DEI money stops and ads dry up 40:33 – Joe Budden universe & sous-chef bravado 43:19 – DEI, pity parties & token black shows 45:10 – Joe Budden, Flip, Surf & chemistry challenges 47:32 – Changing customer behavior vs artists standing still 49:56 – Dark time for pods & Loon’s long game 50:32 – Tease for the future of It’s Up There Podcast T-Pain said “nobody is your brother,” then brought up DJ Khaled by name. We unpacked that, Ace Hood’s 7-figure exit, labels pushing Spotify to raise prices without changing splits, AI training on artist voices, and how DEI money stopped and a lot of black pods folded when the checks dried up. Drop your thoughts: 1️⃣ Have you ever had the “brother/family” word used on you in business? 2️⃣ Should labels be able to raise prices on Spotify without changing artist splits? 3️⃣ Do you think DEI helped black creators, or just made us temporary line items?

This is the third hour of the same sit-down. After walking out and coming back, Charleston gets into the stuff the internet argues about but never really breaks down: relationships, status, fatherhood, street loyalty, internet character vs real life, and the cost of going viral the wrong way. In this episode: • Cardi B, Stefon Diggs and Offset headlines and what Charleston thinks they say about modern celebrity relationships. • Charleston tells the story of getting a girl pregnant in the middle of chaos, losing the baby, and why he jokes about almost having a “Tupac baby.” • Woody forgiving him after all the disrespect, going to Woody’s hood alone, and literally falling asleep in the “lion’s den.” • The HBCU panel that turned into a viral chase moment, why he felt set up, and how it cost him real money in shows and bookings. • Africans vs Black Americans, who controls the programming, and why he says you can’t just “un-teach” what this system did. • Married women, having babies, tricking, value, and how the MeToo era changed the game. • NBA YoungBoy’s influence, NLE Choppa dimming his own brand, and what happens when you give your voice to someone with more power. • The difference between Charleston White the character and the man behind it, and how Loon is trying to document both without clout-chasing.
