    Our Legal Bestie Attorney Symone Redwine takes us inside the Diddy courtroom (it’s like watching a Black movie at a Black theatre opening weekend), helps us understand Jane’s scarcity-survival mode and why it's ok (legally) that Diddy is paying for her lawyer, and explains why the Defense is scheduled to rest after just two days. Ooh, oh, also(!): the high stakes (production nightmare) of that Tyler Perry lawsuit and how Cassie’s lawsuit against Diddy set the stage for it. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Former Cook County State's Attorney, Kim Foxx, who led prosecutions against R. Kelly, Jussie Smollett, Black Souls Gang (and more) answers our pressing legal questions about the Diddy trial: What exactly is RICO, and is the prosecution proving it? What is the Defense’s strategy going to be? Why exactly did the Prosecution put Jane on the stand, again? If convicted, how much of Diddy’s money is the government after? And our non-legal questions: why is Diddy so cheap? Why is Jane hugging people?! How many other Diddys are there? Why does everyone think distribution is only what they saw on Power?

    Bonus Episode: Diddy Trial, Part Three— Crack Pipes, Cucks, Koalas, and Kanye West!!!

    Jane is a not a “crack pipe”. She is conundrum who deserved Chanel. Diddy is a whoring, cheap degenerate (according to me), a cuck (according to Jane), and a drug addict (according to own Defense). And yes, he does look like a koala (according to the court sketch artist.) Kanye West shows up at the courthouse the day after the Internet suspects he does Freak Offs too. WTF is even going on?!
