I am a 43 yo black woman. I grew up during this time, and this is one of the most respectful, profound, explicit, and nonjudgmental stories ever delivered. Well done! You should teach a hip hop course.
@@winniefindstheway i mean in general almost everyone who talks about this case talks about it in a non serious way and makes fun of the case and that indirectly makes fun of the victims
Seriously, the way you bring the humanity back to these stories…these weren’t rappers, these weren’t gang members, these were humans, they were sons. You really have a gift in your story telling.
Decades ago, B.I.G.'s mom told an interviewer that she had warned B.I.G. to not trust and stay away from Diddy because she knew he was not a good guy or a true friend.
He should've listened to his mom, for sure. The way I understand it, she tried hard to keep him out of the streets when he was growing up and walk an honest path, but the streets call proved to be too strong.
Eminem called out Diddy for being a psycho and a creep waaaaay before anyone else was saying it publicly and I'm glad he's finally getting recognized for speaking out.
Apparently 50 cent did and was playing the long game trolling and clowning diddy for 20 years, even wrote his rap verses manifesting his downfall. Now 50's releasing a documentary soon titled "Diddy Did It" exposing diddy even more to full capacity and donating the proceeds to a charity for SA victims.
No, he didn't fam. People have been say this publicly FOR YEARS there are several people who spoke put on this in fact cassie spoke out on this several times cassie called him out well before that, 50 cent did, kid cudi did, and various other individuals did too. Kevin hart did during some interviews WITH DIDDY IN THE ROOM. Rapper Mase called him out in the 90s actually. People just refused to beleive him and SOOOOO many more.
59 yrs old street hustler that grew up with a strong west coast pride mentality. Thank you for such a great job covering this subject. I hit the like and subscribe button for the first time ever.
As a black woman who witnessed this era I have to say I have never seen anyone from your generation retell what happened with such depth and respect to the culture ❤ thank you for doing that for the generation that wasn't there
Im a 2000s baby who grew up with siblings that grew up in the 90s. They listened to tupac and biggie so i always heard of the story and the conspiracy that Tupac was still alive but i never truly knew the story. Im glad i finally know the story that happened because i always loved Tupacs music.
@@susancampbell8194my momma would have been 58th year , she loved tupac too ! she was always talking about him .aNd towards the end she would always listen to him she passed in 2018 from cancer , 10 days after her 52nd birthday . i’ve always wanted to hope she finally met her celebrity crush
Your interpretation of Tupac's words made me literally cry and I barely know him, he was such a beautiful soul and could have changed our society in so many ways.....
There are people who shine too much, and we feel it when we're around them. They aren't of this world, but they are sent here for a short time, to change our society irrevocably. Just seeing him at 17, watching the light in his eyes as he speaks of his mom, it's beautiful. He died at 25, but he gave the world his voice.
Thanks Stephanie for having respect for our culture and not making a Mockery out of it like everyone else. You did all these videos gracefully. I have been watching you a while and you are the G.O.A.T with story telling.
@@Hartleymollythe great thing about humanity is that we are diverse, we are human, we have histories and cultures that deserve to be celebrated and preserved because it impacts who we are, how we grow, our environment and how we see the world. You cannot dismiss someone's culture by asking "are you not your own human?" because their culture impacts the human they are.
Stephanie, this is the first Rotten Mango video I've seen. I'm blown away by your knowledge of Diddy's history. You are one of the most intelligent, insightful and articulate RUclipsrs I've seen. I'm now a fan.
She just did her research, all this she is saying. I already heard about from the net. It's out there she basically did.a.good job of putting it altogether..
@Candyfactory1234 the way she delivers it is still a skill not many have her tone of voice is also soothing kind and gentle. She is smart. Because this is alot of info to research and put together this way or tell the story this way not many can do that. Not many can keep us wanting to hear or know more. Some plp are even annoying to listen too 😂 shes not.
Her 🎤 is so clear,that you can turn your volume down, and you still can understand her comments very clear, and she's not yelling loudly,she never take over the conversation, she smoothly speaks into her microphone. She's using the top of the line equipment for her Podcast Show.She should have alot of likes too, I also like her for sticking to the stories, not getting off track. 🎉😊
@gaffe411: Hi gaffe, you're right, she has the top of the line equipment for her Podcast show, when I saw her microphone with fer screen I've the microphone, I knew without a doubt she knows her equipment real well, loved listening to there Congratulations to You Stephanie. 💯
@ it’s the same as R. Kelly’s thing. ONLY R.Kelly was sent to jail. Not even his wife of several years who supposedly “knew nothing “ is STILL walking around happy and free. It’s all planned by the higher ups who own everything, media included. They’re perfectly framing everything so only Diddy is implicated. At this point, it’s up to the people to search for the truth. It’s dark af tho, so many ppl don’t want to believe it.
I loved how deep you get into these stories. You don't miss a thing. You get every detai,l every key piece of evidence and information. I know when I watch a rottenmango video I'm going to basically be an expert in the subject by the end of the video.
“He finds Faith. Not his wife but God.” Lol. In the midst of all this serious conversation, I found that statement funny. Poetically stated. You’re a lyricist in your own right Stephanie.
The assault on ashley really hit hard. They gang r@pe her and tprtured her brutally and for what? Cause she made a little comment, a conspiracy so many others talk about? Diddy cannot be human. That is one of the sickest things I have heard, its going to be difficult to keep listening to this case if I am honest. But thank you for covering it. I hope everyone who were victimized gets justice and that they are okay.
The fact that they so casually went into the backyard and smoked like nothing happened after what they did to her is what got me... Who does something like that and just goes on like its nothing?
one of the worst things i’ve listened to. imagine what it’s like to have your life turned upside down, to have such a world shattering thing happen to you just for a throwaway comment you made without much thought. i respect her so much for the way she’s fought back in every sense of the word
I was never into celebrities so the diddy case has been pretty confusing to me because of all the names being thrown out/ random information coming out left and right this series is very clear and informative I hope more people support this channel, the love and respect for all your videos is seen!
I never listened to this kind of music. Now I’m so glad. Never know what your money is funding when you support this stuff. This lady is a great storyteller 🌹
@@HB-yk4ut That's a wrong perception. Hardcore rap lovers have known for years how awful Diddy is and they don't support him because the other rappers called him out several times. Only mainstream audiences love Diddy because they don't know about the things he did.
@@HB-yk4ut”this kind of music”??? What does that mean? What makes you so sure that the music you do listen to isn’t funding anything nefarious?? Your comment has very racist undertones to it & I hope you reflect on that.
I’m a 36 yr old black male I grew up in the shadow of these two rappers my mom would frame pics of Tupac out of ebony magazine like they were friends there was nothing Stefanie said that I already did not know NOTHING but the way she delivers and this is not just this case almost all her videos she makes me cry and im not ashamed to admit that
I’m not really clued up on the history or biggie and Tupac. After watching this I wanna deep dive ever further. But my god this vid made me tear up so much too! I can’t imagine how u felt having actual connections to it!
@@DMVEros I love the way Stephanie delivers these stories. She is a great storyteller while also being so full of heart and empathy. I cried and listened to Tupac, thinking about how unfair it was that he was taken from the world so soon. He was so ahead of his time.
Miss mango, Puffy did infact cut a 1,000,000 check however, Puffy didn't want to be linked directly to the shooter so he paid a middle man and that middle man kept the money for himself and never paid Keefe D. Therfore, puffy wasn't charged for "murder for hire", because of a technicality!
Steph rapping all those gangsta lyrics was the best part of the video. I’m not gonna lie, I was shook! 😂😂 On a more serious note well done. You and your team are doing an amazing job on this case.
Thats crazy, thats my older brothers birthday and I had just turned 12 eleven days earlier. I didn't hear much about tupac until my early 20's.@marhki
"There's another person still standing,...or laying down or bent over, I'm not too familiar with how people pass time in federal prison" OMGGGGG I cackled with this double entendre. 🤣🤣🤣
Stephanie you always deliver but girl if this isn’t some of your BEST WORK… it’s so organized and I myself learned so much I had no idea about a lot of these details or back stories I’m in awe at how well you were able to add so much more to these decades old stories ❤😦
Stephanie…your storytelling is so rich. Your husbands input is so relatable as someone listening to the account, your team really puts in the effort and it’s all over the videos. You concluded this video so well. As someone who was really young when it all happened, I still remember feeling that something was feeling very off about Diddy, but couldn’t understand what. With all of this coming out now, things are clearer. He is responsible for so much destruction and pain and I hope his consequences continue to manifest 🙏🏾
Ms. Cassie Venture bravery really set up a Domino effect of an unbecoming scale. It also showed how much hip-hop was purposely engineered to gear towards the apology of violence, hypersexuality, greed and overconsumption.
From age 20 to 25 Tupac recorded 713 songs and played in like 9 movies. As a team he went to the school for the performing arts which is very hard to get into he was very talented. I have his book of poems The Rose that grew through concrete. Always a legend ❤
@@OrphanTraveler97where does this comment say he was gangster instead of “fruity pie”? they said he was talented. you can be a rapper whether you’re a gangster or not so that’s not relevant.
I can appreciate your innocence and sensitivity to the depth of hip hop. It's refreshing to see a video where the person doesn't pretend like they're an expert. IMO Perfectly executed. Subscribed.
The amount of work Stephanie and her team put into this series is phenomenal. Thanks Stephanie, Researchers, and Mr. Mango for shedding more light on this case❤
free diddy! He did nothing wrong. All these gold diggers didn't complain about it 20 years ago, now there is $$$ on offer suddenly they are all jumping on the METOO bandwagon. They loved the abuse. Some women just love a man who can beat them up.
I'm 47 and went through and witnessed ALL of this. OMG you did an absolute phenomenal job on this! I wish Netflix would make a Story-time with Stephanie series. You are amazing! Can't wait for part 4! You totally outdid yourself with this PAC & Biggie one! Just fucking phenomenal ❤
The type of journalism ya look for in this world & can't find it. She displays it so well & respectfully without bias since she covers so many stories around the world showing broken systems in the world & Community issues faced by many.
Calmly listening trying to get to sleep..... How could I.....! Sounds so mysterious and interesting.... Bringing up all facts and truth.... My God... I watched the whole video... This content is CONTENT...🎉
Thanks for covering this, especially in such a tasteful manner. Putting all this together has to be psychologically taxing, on top of all the work itself. Good job.
Diddy is absolutely guilty, but hes not the only one AT ALL. the music/entertainment** industry breeds this sort of behavior, protects predators and even encourages them. Diddy going down is just the beginning. I wonder how many people around him will actually go down. I honestly thought this would never change, so all this coming to light has to be like a bomb going off in the industry. (Edit**)
um what? Look up Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein, Mr. Racism. Diddys skin color is not enough to absolve him of being a monster. That doesn't work. Now shut up. Funny way of outing yourself as a racist.
@@hasicazulatv2078 Never underestimated the power of pray. Especially now after Diddy's allegedly connected to human trafficking and drug cartels, who high possibility responsible to hundred thousands (and counting) missing illegal immigrant children at US border. Which is also connected to whoever made policy about US border and Illegal immigrant situation at Washington DC. Diddy's house in Hornby Hills raided by Homeland Security, remember? Not FBI.
@@NurmaBP praying is cool and all but prayer and actual action might be better than just praying smthn happens, considering god gives you outlets to speak out you sit there in your head doing nothing?? yeah he doesnt grant wishes bro, he isnt a geenie, you need to put in work too.
You are so smart, you studied and researched Tupac better than people who were listening to his music when he was alive. I like how you think and speak. Subscribed!❤
That interview clip of 15:00 of Tupac talking about societal problems and not wanting to be standing at 50 accepting a BET Award is truly amazing. It is not only eerie poetic to show the differences between him and Diddy but how intelligent he was to see it all play out. How even in those days Diddy was someone Tupac didn’t want to be close to.
"do you know diddy's biggest songs?" "no." me HAKDJHASKDHJ for the longest time i thought he was just a famous person that owned a lot of things, i didn't think he was an actual rapper 😭
@@jessehardin8500that's Biggie Smalls not Diddy. Diddy really wasn't known so much for his rapping, although he did do some. His producer game was much much bigger. Bc he mostly suuuuucked at rapping.
is the you getting chocked up while telling the dialogue between Snoop and Tupac's mum and his passing that makes me certain that i can watch your content at ease; that you are not in it for the money or the views, that your heart is truly in every story you tell, and that is not an easy find nowadays. ty Stephanie
Ty for including real comments by real people that are not always written perfectly... your inclusiveness of the public during what is "public opinion" is added in the best format I have ever seen.
30:16 now I’ve never given birth, but I have chronic pain and used to being in severe pain. When I got a hormone IUD installed (no pain meds given) during and the next 24 hours were one of the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. Women’s pain is so easily dismissed, especially when it’s in favour of making us seem and feel crazy. Let’s stop minimising womens’ pain when it’s proven we have a higher threshold.
Ive done both. Iud is barely a pinch and a small cramp for me. Birth wasnt even that bad either. Contractions are horrible but birth itself was nothing.
I think it depends on the person. Same as how some women get really bad period cramps while others dont. My mom also says it wasnt painful for her but i cant talk about it person since i haven't gotten an iud
I absolutely do not understand why it’s so uncommon for an OBGYN to administer like, ANY kind of pain relief. I mean-actually yeah I do know why, it’s a horrible psychological thing where people are, even subconsciously, shaming a woman who is using birth control and women’s pain isn’t talked about but. Y’know.
Y e s!! Ive given birth, and getting that IUD is a glimpse into unmedicated birth. I have a tilted cervix, so she just be crooked to the side vs regular and it fr felt the same. It was agonizing. It hurt my mom so much to get hers in, she kept it in for 25 years. Yes. 25 lmao. And then she had me after so hey it worked but-- anyways. IUD's are a nightmare. And that's just professional setting. I cannot fathom how horrendous getting an IUD forcefully shoved in you by monsters is. Mortifying on all levels
@@oliviahusseyslefteyebrowthat's not comparing, just an example of how bad people can be, she's not even saying Diddy case was worse than other mentioned
@@oliviahusseyslefteyebrow The intent isn't to actually compare or rank cases - people don't believe this could happen because they don't know about other things that have happened. It doesn't erase anyone's suffering. It's all beyond comprehension and difficult to believe.
I’m 37 and grew up during this Era… Stephanie, you have a way of telling a story that just paints a picture for everyone that didn’t grow up in this era. Absolutely amazing. Edited to add: literally EVERYWHERE you go, there goes Puffy. EVERYONE is linked to him in one form or another
37?! Maybe conceived during this era. I don't see how you would have _any_ understanding of the 1980s, and no more than a child's understanding of the 1990s. If she's painting a picture of the time for anyone, it would likely be for someone like yourself. Not trying to be mean it's just math.
Girl... You represented this entire episode to perfection! Well done!! I'd just like to add, Diddy lived the exact life that the devil tried to promise to anyone who is weak, would take. We are all witnessing the fall of that agreement.
Hearing that part of the story literally sent shivers down my soine!!! Yes for me, this was worse than hard labor for 12hrs and then having a c-section because she was "sunny side up" and her head circumference was 15 3\4inches at birth!! They gave me so much pitocin (since my water broke) to try to progress labor that I was having contractions 2mins apart (like I needed to push) yet I wasn't even dilated to a ONE!!! Back when I got my IUD you had to have had a baby in order to get one, I guess it's easier to insert but since I was told I was 1cm when I arrived and then 12hrs later a nurse said "you're almost a one" after all those meds and hard labor and surmised that it depends on the size of one's fingers -had a male ob\gyn but lets just say 12wks post caserean it felt like I was being impaled when I got that IUD. I've never had pain like that and it was not only during insertion but for days\weeks after the soreness. Then my friends that said "check your strings mines fell out within a few months" and I'm like omg that thing is permanently shoved in there and apart of me now, no way it's coming out on its own!!! I've had this IUD for quite sometime and know it no longer has the hormones, yet still prevents pregnancy but I'm curious as to how long you had it with it having to be surgically removed? Even before my 5yrs were up I felt like it wouldn't just easily "be removed in office" after that amount of time, let alone now. Would appreciate your story and insight if you're willing to share🙏 I'm so scared to have mine removed but really really need to but I swear I have PtSD from getting it and it's been yrs now
@@kes9612 I'm so sorry that happened- that's so crazy!! this was my 2nd IUD that had to be moved from being misplaced actually- but the recent one was really bad, it was impaling my uterus. I had recently gotten a Pap smear and a pelvic exam and it made me bleed (which shouldn't happen). My doctor couldn't find my IUD strings and put me with an OBGYN, who decided to put me under and surgically remove it. I don't know why both my IUDs decided to become irritated and misplace, but I think that's just how it is for my cervix. Some women just have "incompetent" non standard cervixes, which is a damn shame because I don't think most doctors and OGBYNs can know what it looks and acts like hence why women have issues with it (in my opinion)
@@emmikins21 yeah I don't get why she would make it up m, which is why I believe her. That's really intense and way too specific just to be a story. It's so disgusting that it happened
I have listened to many, many podcasts and let me just say. This podcast is by far the best podcast I have ever listened to. I just subscribed and im going to tell everyone i know about Rotten Mango. WOW im so impressed. Good job my friend keep doing what you are doing and get the truth out there.
I appreciate this intense deep dive on everything to do with Diddy. I can't imagine how much work this took but I'm glad you're taking the time to make it a multi part series and not gloss over anything.
free diddy! He did nothing wrong. All these gold diggers didn't complain about it 20 years ago, now there is $$$ on offer suddenly they are all jumping on the METOO bandwagon. They loved the abuse. Some women just love a man who can beat them up.
"And I'm just playin', Diddy, you know I love you" by Eminem sounds a little like the play on "love" Diddy taunts everybody with in the first episode. You know, how he twists the meaning into hate and threats?
The way that anchor cut off Tupac and said he didn’t know who shot him, when he JUST said he knows who did it….. He was such a good man and everyone failed him.
I'm almost in tears hearing someone in 2024 speak about Tupac the way he should be spoken about. He was so multifaceted and I only really caught on to him after he passed away. When I was in the military my roommate who was from the south was a huge Tupac fan and when he died I just heard her boo-hoo crying on the other side of our cabinets and I asked her what was wrong and she said Tupac was killed and I asked who Tupac was and she looked at me like I was crazy. Being a black woman in Southern California growing up in an upper middle class neighborhood I really had no connection to that part with the black community even though we had a house in South Central too. So from that day on, I feel like my reeducation of black people in my life and my point of view started from that day. I love black people and I've always been advocate for educating others about black people but that was the first time I started listening to his music and understood what "the hood" was about. I grew up on cimarron and Van Ness but we went to private schools where the white people went to school. My dad worked for universal, we had a house in LA and a house in Temecula, way before black people were really coming up My family was already there. That was back in the '80s and '90s but when he died and I learned about his life and started listening to his lyrics and reading his poetry, poetic Justice is still one of my favorite movies to this day. Black people can shop in the rooftops about how Tupac was life-changing but sometimes if you hear it from another race such as you or Eminem, then people will start listening because literally that's what Tupac used to say is that no one cares about talking about the black community unless we're talking about doing drugs or shooting up but when people other than black people start talking about the black community, sadly people start listening. Anyway, thank you so much for putting a positive yet honest like on Tupac's life.
The way you weave a tale with insight, compassion, reverence for the people you're talking about, your fairness, integrity. These are not qualities everybody has and its appreciated.
Stephanie is so good at telling stories because her two hour videos feel like five minutes (in a good way). She just makes any story so interesting, and she is so engaging. Plus, her husband kind of represents the audience, and I love that aspect of her videos, as well. I’m happy to be a subscriber now! 💞💐
Your channel is absolutely amazing, I was hesitant at first seeing the length of your videos, but you tell everything with exquisite detail and make sure to explain everything fully. Keep up the great work! ❤
I don’t know about anyone else but I love the videos but even more when I hear her husband say “WHAT?!?!” I love that he is hearing it for the first time like we are.
Mango's ability to treat the subjects of her videos with such honor and respect should be an example to all mainstream media news! Stephanie, just freaking wow! I have been a viewer since you started but your tenacity for details and facts as you rebuild these stories of life should be commended. Bravo!
I’m mad cause I was sent this video today, never have heard of you before.. half through I also realize there are 2 other parts!! This is the rabbit hole I’m glad I was pushed down cause I’m 43 and learning a lot about this situation, thinking I knew! I live for this stuff. Thanks!
You're my FAVORITE! I wasn't really following this because the information was ALL OVER THE PLACE! I appreciate your dedication to this. It's helping us see ot for what is really is. The one about Cassie was eye opening. Never knew she went through ALL THAT! You're story telling/fact telling is the BEST! & your husband giving comments and asking questions is another reason why it's my favorite. Never stop doing these long episodes. I listened to you all day yesterday and actually cleaned my room from top to bottom and im 40, not a teen lol
Yes... The information on the net is so messy. I'm so glad that Steph organized all these. It must take hours to sort this huge information. This is the eps I'm waiting for, beef between Diddy and Eminem.
Same here with the cleaning and in my 40s! This is one of my favourite channels to listen to while I clean my cat cages. Keep up the brave work Stephanie and team😊
Diddy is a beast. The epitome of evil. He should get the death penalty for all he's being accused of. Never liked him anyway. Tupac and Biggie should be here not him! Throw the key away and goodbye.
If he is found guilty (he obviously is) he's prob gonna kill himself because he is a narcissist. He wouldn't be able to handle being in jail for the rest of his life.
I just discovered your channel through this video, and I’m so impressed! I love how empathetic you are about the topic, especially since it wasn’t something you were deeply familiar with before. Your thorough research really shines through. Subscribed!
I've already listened to this podcast but it's just so much, it needs another listen. Nearly ten hours on just one topic is INSANE. Much appreciation to Steph and her world class team gathering so much information to present to us.
free diddy! He did nothing wrong. All these gold diggers didn't complain about it 20 years ago, now there is $$$ on offer suddenly they are all jumping on the METOO bandwagon. They loved the abuse. Some women just love a man who can beat them up.
@adamsmith7058 I'm kinda praying he is. Almost thought he had a chance of bail the other day when the law and crime channel covered both sides argument and how diddy and his lawyer were going to request a different judge with, one outside of everything that's happened, with a pretty solid argument and then a day or two later it seemed like his lawyer walked out of court so speculation was he potentially quit the case. Idkk I just hope he stays in there for a very fkng long time. He's definitely a flight risk and if he got out, there's a chance he could intimidate witnesses. If he goes down, I do hope that anyone who enabled or supported his supposed abhorrent behavior, go to jail too. And I usually never wish for anyone to be locked up unless they're a predator or murderer and he appears to be both of those things
@@minervaaurora8109before this video this was one thing I heard.. that he might get bail And my heart dropped. I can’t imagine someone with all of these things being thrown at them would get bail? He would be basically living his life up while others were worried about everything that happened to them and the fact he could get to them..
Mango, your deep dives (while disturbing) are absolutely the best! Your content is very thorough and you are also an amazing storyteller! We love you!!!
There’s truly no one like you Stephanie Soo. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication you put into this story that deserves the recognition that you strive to give.
I’ve seen so many RUclipsrs report on all of this and this is the most well explained and detailed story telling that I have heard, it really makes it easier and clearer as to events that took place. WOW. Good job. 👏
This is why I love Stephanie! Whenever I come across videos about crime or viral topics, I skip them and head straight to her channel. I am also one of those who requested about this case because I've seen plenty of videos and a lot of versions, but none are as comprehensive, thorough, and clear as what her team delivers. Kudos to the RM Team! I’m glad that I can listen while working and gain so many insights. Plus, Mr. Panda/Mangobutt asks the questions I would have if Stephanie were right in front of me, which is really cool!♥
I have never commented on a RUclips video but you blew me away with this one!! I love the way you laid out and explained this story and the way you explained Pac was absolutely spot on!! I was 14 when he died and I was OBSESSED with any and everything released about him. I know this wasn’t just about Pac but the way you explained so much of his life and his death is more well put together than anything else I’ve heard. Thank you for all your research, your passion and the love you put into explaining every single story you release. This is your calling girl you are amazing at storytelling!!
I think it’s odd that they (rappers like Tupac) get so much respect when they also have sxual assault and abuse allegations. Everyone just forgets the wickedness in that industry if you’re a good enough rapper, and so the cycle continues. They’re not so different.
@ I am not negating any of the wrong doings Tupac ever did. I was simply complimenting how Stephanie and her team goes about approaching these sensitive topics/historical figures.
2pac was just one of those artists who you can't ignore. I'm not even particularly into rap but his words are so compelling and you can really hear the emotions behind everything he says. He wasn't perfect, but he wasn't afraid to BE imperfect and own up to changes he made. He was an artist in the truest sense of the word, his soul is in his music now.
I always thought the lyric was "YOU shot me but you punks didn't finish". By far, the baddest and catchiest song from my high school years. What a blazing anthem.
I am a stay a home Mama of 2 little kids under 4. I love listening to Stephanie while I’m cooking, cleaning, crocheting. It breaks my heart and scares me that there are people like this out there and do things like this. I listen to a lot of true crime and sometimes it’s a wake up call of how scary our world can be. And I have to take breaks and cuddle with my kids and read. Thanks for covering, Stephanie. ❤️
Thank you again, Stephanie! You’ve been a graceful and articulate storyteller and gave credit where it was due. You’re words about Tupac and Biggie were both respectful and gave the audience a chance to listen in on both sides without any prejudice. Two lives taken too soon who really could’ve changed the world. Please stay safe, Stephanie and Stephusband! You’re doing a phenomenal job at spreading awareness!
Thank you Stephanie soo, for actually speaking out about this case from a clear perspective and giving people an insight on what actually happened/is happening. Many netizens out here on the internet are making jokes about Diddys parties or the '1000 Baby oil' failing to be respectful towards victims and actually taking this seriously
Wow, so much info and she has an amazing memory! She talks nonstop with explicit details of things that happened years ago. I’m so impressed and love her confidence when sharing ♥️
I'm a 42-year-old woman from Australia and my friends and I all loved Tupac. He was and always will be an icon. Tupac got me into hip hop and rap. R.I.P Tupac
As a black woman I am 👏 👏 👏 👏 4 you Stephanie you did such a great job telling the story tastefully without offending anyone from the Black culture great job. Your research impeccable.
So courageous of you to cover this case. Thank you for all the work you do. Someone had to do it and the universe chose you. We love and appreciate you Stephanie!
Thank you for explaining this case in the most respectful way possible. Its actually infuriating how anything related to this case has become a meme, brainrot entertainment to people smh
I am a 43 yo black woman. I grew up during this time, and this is one of the most respectful, profound, explicit, and nonjudgmental stories ever delivered. Well done! You should teach a hip hop course.
It’s funny to hear those that didn’t live through this learn it now. They probably know nothing about the Fonzworth umbrella days either. 😂
@@shutthefrontdoor733 no bc what is that?? omg 😭
Why? So other black people can threaten her and bash her online for trying to "appropriate" black culture?
she shouldn't lol, but her quality is top tier for sure!!
She’s a great teacher. All Steph’s podcasts are amazing.
im so happy someone is finally telling this story in a respectful way and not make fun of all the victims
thanks a lot stephanie
I haven't seen people making fun of the victims
Or talking about his sexuality because who cares the man is a literal criminal
Nobody covering is making fun of the victims
I did not read anything on Diddy because I was waiting for her!
@@winniefindstheway i mean in general almost everyone who talks about this case talks about it in a non serious way and makes fun of the case and that indirectly makes fun of the victims
Our girl mango is a savage for putting all of these videos out. May she stand safe in the industry!!! Omg girl
I hope she thanks Beyoncé
Under the protection of the Most High God! 🙏🏼❤️ Amen

Seriously, the way you bring the humanity back to these stories…these weren’t rappers, these weren’t gang members, these were humans, they were sons. You really have a gift in your story telling.
I absolutely LOVE the emotion in it. It’s gripping!
Decades ago, B.I.G.'s mom told an interviewer that she had warned B.I.G. to not trust and stay away from Diddy because she knew he was not a good guy or a true friend.
Exactly. Decades ago, people knew what he was
Don't forget that after the video surfaced of him beating the crap out of Cassie, Biggie's mom said she was gonna slap him across his face 😂😂
moms always know best. every time my mom didn’t like one of my friends, they ended up being a bad person
Moms can see through people like that
He should've listened to his mom, for sure. The way I understand it, she tried hard to keep him out of the streets when he was growing up and walk an honest path, but the streets call proved to be too strong.
The saddest part about the police not helping Pac when he needed it and even mocking him is how it demonstrates Pac's critiques of them to begin with.
They proved their point
He was a targeted individual and refused to turn gay like a lot of people....stand for something
@EarthAngel__1111 You can't "turn gay". 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@EarthAngel__1111okay but like, you just don't turn gay, that's not how it works.
They were already owned by another black man
Eminem called out Diddy for being a psycho and a creep waaaaay before anyone else was saying it publicly and I'm glad he's finally getting recognized for speaking out.
Apparently 50 cent did and was playing the long game trolling and clowning diddy for 20 years, even wrote his rap verses manifesting his downfall. Now 50's releasing a documentary soon titled "Diddy Did It" exposing diddy even more to full capacity and donating the proceeds to a charity for SA victims.
there is a bot that replied to ur comment pls report it!
No, he didn't fam. People have been say this publicly FOR YEARS there are several people who spoke put on this in fact cassie spoke out on this several times cassie called him out well before that, 50 cent did, kid cudi did, and various other individuals did too. Kevin hart did during some interviews WITH DIDDY IN THE ROOM. Rapper Mase called him out in the 90s actually. People just refused to beleive him and SOOOOO many more.
💯💯
Also Eminem making MGK run away from Rap and change genres to punk rock lol

Im a 2000s baby who grew up with siblings that grew up in the 90s. They listened to tupac and biggie so i always heard of the story and the conspiracy that Tupac was still alive but i never truly knew the story. Im glad i finally know the story that happened because i always loved Tupacs music.

Your interpretation of Tupac's words made me literally cry and I barely know him, he was such a beautiful soul and could have changed our society in so many ways.....
There are people who shine too much, and we feel it when we're around them. They aren't of this world, but they are sent here for a short time, to change our society irrevocably. Just seeing him at 17, watching the light in his eyes as he speaks of his mom, it's beautiful. He died at 25, but he gave the world his voice.
He did change society in multiple ways, the hip-hop community as well if not more.

Stephanie, this is the first Rotten Mango video I've seen. I'm blown away by your knowledge of Diddy's history. You are one of the most intelligent, insightful and articulate RUclipsrs I've seen. I'm now a fan.
She just did her research, all this she is saying. I already heard about from the net. It's out there she basically did.a.good job of putting it altogether..
@Candyfactory1234 the way she delivers it is still a skill not many have her tone of voice is also soothing kind and gentle. She is smart. Because this is alot of info to research and put together this way or tell the story this way not many can do that. Not many can keep us wanting to hear or know more.

"Did Diddy do it?"
"Diddy did it."
"Dammit! What didn't Diddy do?"

😂😂
Lmfao. Yuup. I keep thinking about that too. Satan trying his best to outdo Diddy and hes having a hard time... *chefs kiss*
Diddy is wilder than Satan 😂😂😂😂
South Park always delivers
Omg do you know which season n ep pls?
This Diddy rabbit hole is looking more like Google maps of connections, cover-ups, and unveiling conspiracies.
Epstien pt 2
We got a good old CONSPIRACY and it's seemingly less and less like a theory and more like a reality.
Studying Diddy AND Epstein’s cases will have you wearing a tinfoil hat because it’s all that WILD!!
when someone like this gets arrested, there should follow a bunch of others getting arrested, this is a strange one.
@ it’s the same as R. Kelly’s thing. ONLY R.Kelly was sent to jail. Not even his wife of several years who supposedly “knew nothing “ is STILL walking around happy and free. It’s all planned by the higher ups who own everything, media included. They’re perfectly framing everything so only Diddy is implicated. At this point, it’s up to the people to search for the truth. It’s dark af tho, so many ppl don’t want to believe it.
I loved how deep you get into these stories. You don't miss a thing. You get every detai,l every key piece of evidence and information. I know when I watch a rottenmango video I'm going to basically be an expert in the subject by the end of the video.
I actually chuckled so hard when you said “he’s like the ghost of Christmas past…” he’s always just there” 💀💀

Ms. Mango I just want to say awesome job! We all appreciate your hard work. Keep it coming!💯
The assault on ashley really hit hard. They gang r@pe her and tprtured her brutally and for what? Cause she made a little comment, a conspiracy so many others talk about? Diddy cannot be human. That is one of the sickest things I have heard, its going to be difficult to keep listening to this case if I am honest. But thank you for covering it. I hope everyone who were victimized gets justice and that they are okay.
Then they tried to tell her she "partied" with them...
The fact that they so casually went into the backyard and smoked like nothing happened after what they did to her is what got me... Who does something like that and just goes on like its nothing?
My body was hurting me listening to that part
If this is true, it’s just so hard and stressful to listen. The trauma is unbearable.
one of the worst things i’ve listened to. imagine what it’s like to have your life turned upside down, to have such a world shattering thing happen to you just for a throwaway comment you made without much thought. i respect her so much for the way she’s fought back in every sense of the word
I was never into celebrities so the diddy case has been pretty confusing to me because of all the names being thrown out/ random information coming out left and right
this series is very clear and informative I hope more people support this channel, the love and respect for all your videos is seen!
I agree!
I haven't even been keeping track of it. Waste of time keeping up with it
I never listened to this kind of music. Now I’m so glad. Never know what your money is funding when you support this stuff. This lady is a great storyteller 🌹
@@HB-yk4ut That's a wrong perception. Hardcore rap lovers have known for years how awful Diddy is and they don't support him because the other rappers called him out several times. Only mainstream audiences love Diddy because they don't know about the things he did.

Stephanie…your storytelling is so rich. Your husbands input is so relatable as someone listening to the account, your team really puts in the effort and it’s all over the videos. You concluded this video so well. As someone who was really young when it all happened, I still remember feeling that something was feeling very off about Diddy, but couldn’t understand what. With all of this coming out now, things are clearer. He is responsible for so much destruction and pain and I hope his consequences continue to manifest 🙏🏾
its really good story telling, cant turn it off haha
It’s sad that none of them knew that NDA’s don’t cover criminal behaviour. You can break them. On advice from your lawyer.

Ms. Cassie Venture bravery really set up a Domino effect of an unbecoming scale.
It also showed how much hip-hop was purposely engineered to gear towards the apology of violence, hypersexuality, greed and overconsumption.

1 leak can cause the dam to burst. Cassie and everyone who spoke out before have been so brave and society should thank them

It's not just hip hop
From age 20 to 25 Tupac recorded 713 songs and played in like 9 movies. As a team he went to the school for the performing arts which is very hard to get into he was very talented. I have his book of poems The Rose that grew through concrete.
Always a legend ❤

"No Way Out" as a title for your first album after your highest selling artist is murdered while contemplating leaving your record label is.... WILD.
Ready To Die and All About The Benjamins speak volumes too.
Diddy is absolutely guilty, but hes not the only one AT ALL. the music/entertainment** industry breeds this sort of behavior, protects predators and even encourages them. Diddy going down is just the beginning. I wonder how many people around him will actually go down. I honestly thought this would never change, so all this coming to light has to be like a bomb going off in the industry.
(Edit**)
Thank youuu so much more even more white rich actor / actress and director who were invole with this sahib but nobody focus on the white people
its not just music industry its film politicians talk show stars princes and so on
Some might, but deffo not main characters, ppl like David Geffen or Clive Davis, who are orchestrating this are untouchable..
um what? Look up Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein, Mr. Racism. Diddys skin color is not enough to absolve him of being a monster. That doesn't work. Now shut up. Funny way of outing yourself as a racist.

That interview clip of 15:00 of Tupac talking about societal problems and not wanting to be standing at 50 accepting a BET Award is truly amazing. It is not only eerie poetic to show the differences between him and Diddy but how intelligent he was to see it all play out. How even in those days Diddy was someone Tupac didn’t want to be close to.
And him and biggie were friends and biggie and him were about to start their own company and both got taken out. Very sad
Intelligent ? Holding up some useless trophy at 50 is a hell of a lot better than being turned to ash at 25
"do you know diddy's biggest songs?"

Ty for including real comments by real people that are not always written perfectly... your inclusiveness of the public during what is "public opinion" is added in the best format I have ever seen.
Yes. I think is nice how she includes both (or more) takes about the matter. The side who agrees. Side who disagrees.
30:16 now I’ve never given birth, but I have chronic pain and used to being in severe pain. When I got a hormone IUD installed (no pain meds given) during and the next 24 hours were one of the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. Women’s pain is so easily dismissed, especially when it’s in favour of making us seem and feel crazy. Let’s stop minimising womens’ pain when it’s proven we have a higher threshold.
Ive done both. Iud is barely a pinch and a small cramp for me. Birth wasnt even that bad either. Contractions are horrible but birth itself was nothing.
I think it depends on the person.
Same as how some women get really bad period cramps while others dont.
My mom also says it wasnt painful for her but i cant talk about it person since i haven't gotten an iud
I had an IUD too. It was extremely painful! About on par with when I walked on fractured knees. My pain wasn't believed either time.
I absolutely do not understand why it’s so uncommon for an OBGYN to administer like, ANY kind of pain relief. I mean-actually yeah I do know why, it’s a horrible psychological thing where people are, even subconsciously, shaming a woman who is using birth control and women’s pain isn’t talked about but. Y’know.
Y e s!! Ive given birth, and getting that IUD is a glimpse into unmedicated birth. I have a tilted cervix, so she just be crooked to the side vs regular and it fr felt the same. It was agonizing. It hurt my mom so much to get hers in, she kept it in for 25 years. Yes. 25 lmao. And then she had me after so hey it worked but-- anyways. IUD's are a nightmare. And that's just professional setting. I cannot fathom how horrendous getting an IUD forcefully shoved in you by monsters is. Mortifying on all levels
Anyone saying these victim's stories are too over the top to be believable has clearly never heard of Junko Furuta or Sylvia Likens.
💔 It's horrifying to think - there are probably even worse stories in this case or just somewhere that we don't even know about.
Can we stop comparing all these horrendous cases??...
@@oliviahusseyslefteyebrowthat's not comparing, just an example of how bad people can be, she's not even saying Diddy case was worse than other mentioned

@@oliviahusseyslefteyebrow The intent isn't to actually compare or rank cases - people don't believe this could happen because they don't know about other things that have happened. It doesn't erase anyone's suffering. It's all beyond comprehension and difficult to believe.
You quoting Tupac brought tear to my eyes . He had power in his words even to this day.
I’m 37 and grew up during this Era… Stephanie, you have a way of telling a story that just paints a picture for everyone that didn’t grow up in this era. Absolutely amazing.
Edited to add: literally EVERYWHERE you go, there goes Puffy. EVERYONE is linked to him in one form or another
Like she said he's like the ghost of Christmas past
37?! Maybe conceived during this era. I don't see how you would have _any_ understanding of the 1980s, and no more than a child's understanding of the 1990s. If she's painting a picture of the time for anyone, it would likely be for someone like yourself. Not trying to be mean it's just math.
Girl... You represented this entire episode to perfection! Well done!!
I'd just like to add, Diddy lived the exact life that the devil tried to promise to anyone who is weak, would take. We are all witnessing the fall of that agreement.
Stephanie is THAT GURL!!!
We're witnessing God's judgement
was Diddy weak? if he never was why would he make that agreement with devil?
@@BrightBaker-e8rFaustian transactions are for impatient people
I almost fainted hearing the IUD part… I had to get mine surgically removed and even then, afterwards was so painful. That's just straight up cruel 😭
Hearing that part of the story literally sent shivers down my soine!!! Yes for me, this was worse than hard labor for 12hrs and then having a c-section because she was "sunny side up" and her head circumference was 15 3\4inches at birth!! They gave me so much pitocin (since my water broke) to try to progress labor that I was having contractions 2mins apart (like I needed to push) yet I wasn't even dilated to a ONE!!! Back when I got my IUD you had to have had a baby in order to get one, I guess it's easier to insert but since I was told I was 1cm when I arrived and then 12hrs later a nurse said "you're almost a one" after all those meds and hard labor and surmised that it depends on the size of one's fingers -had a male ob\gyn but lets just say 12wks post caserean it felt like I was being impaled when I got that IUD. I've never had pain like that and it was not only during insertion but for days\weeks after the soreness. Then my friends that said "check your strings mines fell out within a few months" and I'm like omg that thing is permanently shoved in there and apart of me now, no way it's coming out on its own!!! I've had this IUD for quite sometime and know it no longer has the hormones, yet still prevents pregnancy but I'm curious as to how long you had it with it having to be surgically removed? Even before my 5yrs were up I felt like it wouldn't just easily "be removed in office" after that amount of time, let alone now. Would appreciate your story and insight if you're willing to share🙏 I'm so scared to have mine removed but really really need to but I swear I have PtSD from getting it and it's been yrs now
This was so disturbing and bizarre- that poor woman. My heart goes out to her.
@@kes9612 I'm so sorry that happened- that's so crazy!!
this was my 2nd IUD that had to be moved from being misplaced actually- but the recent one was really bad, it was impaling my uterus. I had recently gotten a Pap smear and a pelvic exam and it made me bleed (which shouldn't happen). My doctor couldn't find my IUD strings and put me with an OBGYN, who decided to put me under and surgically remove it.
I don't know why both my IUDs decided to become irritated and misplace, but I think that's just how it is for my cervix. Some women just have "incompetent" non standard cervixes, which is a damn shame because I don't think most doctors and OGBYNs can know what it looks and acts like hence why women have issues with it (in my opinion)
@@emmikins21 yeah I don't get why she would make it up m, which is why I believe her. That's really intense and way too specific just to be a story. It's so disgusting that it happened
I almost passed out it hurt so bad and I had been given topical pain reliever
I have listened to many, many podcasts and let me just say. This podcast is by far the best podcast I have ever listened to. I just subscribed and im going to tell everyone i know about Rotten Mango. WOW im so impressed. Good job my friend keep doing what you are doing and get the truth out there.
I appreciate this intense deep dive on everything to do with Diddy. I can't imagine how much work this took but I'm glad you're taking the time to make it a multi part series and not gloss over anything.
free diddy! He did nothing wrong. All these gold diggers didn't complain about it 20 years ago, now there is $$$ on offer suddenly they are all jumping on the METOO bandwagon. They loved the abuse. Some women just love a man who can beat them up.
"And I'm just playin', Diddy, you know I love you" by Eminem sounds a little like the play on "love" Diddy taunts everybody with in the first episode. You know, how he twists the meaning into hate and threats?
I’m just playin Merica, you know I love you .
I thought about that too.. 🫠
The way that anchor cut off Tupac and said he didn’t know who shot him, when he JUST said he knows who did it….. He was such a good man and everyone failed him.
Yeah, and for THOSE WHO SPEAK THE TRUTH, this is EXACTLY what they do. 🥺
I noticed too
I'm almost in tears hearing someone in 2024 speak about Tupac the way he should be spoken about. He was so multifaceted and I only really caught on to him after he passed away. When I was in the military my roommate who was from the south was a huge Tupac fan and when he died I just heard her boo-hoo crying on the other side of our cabinets and I asked her what was wrong and she said Tupac was killed and I asked who Tupac was and she looked at me like I was crazy. Being a black woman in Southern California growing up in an upper middle class neighborhood I really had no connection to that part with the black community even though we had a house in South Central too. So from that day on, I feel like my reeducation of black people in my life and my point of view started from that day. I love black people and I've always been advocate for educating others about black people but that was the first time I started listening to his music and understood what "the hood" was about. I grew up on cimarron and Van Ness but we went to private schools where the white people went to school. My dad worked for universal, we had a house in LA and a house in Temecula, way before black people were really coming up My family was already there. That was back in the '80s and '90s but when he died and I learned about his life and started listening to his lyrics and reading his poetry, poetic Justice is still one of my favorite movies to this day. Black people can shop in the rooftops about how Tupac was life-changing but sometimes if you hear it from another race such as you or Eminem, then people will start listening because literally that's what Tupac used to say is that no one cares about talking about the black community unless we're talking about doing drugs or shooting up but when people other than black people start talking about the black community, sadly people start listening. Anyway, thank you so much for putting a positive yet honest like on Tupac's life.
The way you weave a tale with insight, compassion, reverence for the people you're talking about, your fairness, integrity. These are not qualities everybody has and its appreciated.
Because Stephanie is THAT GURL ❤🎉
The work you and your team put in to produce these quality videos.... You all are amazing! Great work! Always entertaining to watch.
Stephanie is so good at telling stories because her two hour videos feel like five minutes (in a good way). She just makes any story so interesting, and she is so engaging. Plus, her husband kind of represents the audience, and I love that aspect of her videos, as well. I’m happy to be a subscriber now! 💞💐
Oh.. I didn't even realize it was 2hours until I read this comment.. sheeeesh! 🤯🤯🤯
She’s the very best!
Your channel is absolutely amazing, I was hesitant at first seeing the length of your videos, but you tell everything with exquisite detail and make sure to explain everything fully. Keep up the great work! ❤
I don’t know about anyone else but I love the videos but even more when I hear her husband say “WHAT?!?!” I love that he is hearing it for the first time like we are.
I love it when we WHaT?! in unison.
Someone get Stephanie and Mr. MangoButt security!! She out here being a voice for the voiceless and the voice for the silenced!
😂😂😂
She just shares public information, she does great podcasts but is not like she is sharing hidden information.
You’re top 5 of the best storytellers on RUclips. So brilliant, & incredible information.
She is only one person. How can she be the top 5?
Smh yall say anything
*”You’re in top 5…”
thanks for the edit. I’m showering in your brilliance.
Mango's ability to treat the subjects of her videos with such honor and respect should be an example to all mainstream media news! Stephanie, just freaking wow! I have been a viewer since you started but your tenacity for details and facts as you rebuild these stories of life should be commended. Bravo!
I’m mad cause I was sent this video today, never have heard of you before.. half through I also realize there are 2 other parts!! This is the rabbit hole I’m glad I was pushed down cause I’m 43 and learning a lot about this situation, thinking I knew! I live for this stuff. Thanks!
Welcome!!🥰
oh man, Steph and her hubs are the best. get ready to binge bc all her videos are good!
Welcome to the best rabbit hole :)
Welcome, Stephanie is a delight to listen to with a few different venues for everyone's tastes. I'm hooked on them all.
@@trailertrish haha! If her husband is the guy behind the scenes, it’s been amazing hearing his questions and reactions.
You're my FAVORITE! I wasn't really following this because the information was ALL OVER THE PLACE! I appreciate your dedication to this. It's helping us see ot for what is really is. The one about Cassie was eye opening. Never knew she went through ALL THAT! You're story telling/fact telling is the BEST! & your husband giving comments and asking questions is another reason why it's my favorite. Never stop doing these long episodes. I listened to you all day yesterday and actually cleaned my room from top to bottom and im 40, not a teen lol
Yes... The information on the net is so messy. I'm so glad that Steph organized all these. It must take hours to sort this huge information. This is the eps I'm waiting for, beef between Diddy and Eminem.
Same here with the cleaning and in my 40s! This is one of my favourite channels to listen to while I clean my cat cages.
Keep up the brave work Stephanie and team😊
Me too! I am 59 and drive all day for work and love listening to this channel.
Diddy is a beast. The epitome of evil. He should get the death penalty for all he's being accused of. Never liked him anyway. Tupac and Biggie should be here not him! Throw the key away and goodbye.
Diddy, epstein, and anyone that went to those parties
If he is found guilty (he obviously is) he's prob gonna kill himself because he is a narcissist. He wouldn't be able to handle being in jail for the rest of his life.
Death row is still not enough for everything he’s done
@@_chatjinjust like Epstein
I just discovered your channel through this video, and I’m so impressed! I love how empathetic you are about the topic, especially since it wasn’t something you were deeply familiar with before. Your thorough research really shines through. Subscribed!
I've already listened to this podcast but it's just so much, it needs another listen. Nearly ten hours on just one topic is INSANE. Much appreciation to Steph and her world class team gathering so much information to present to us.
same here i’ve listened to the podcast ep twice but i had to watch the video too
free diddy! He did nothing wrong. All these gold diggers didn't complain about it 20 years ago, now there is $$$ on offer suddenly they are all jumping on the METOO bandwagon. They loved the abuse. Some women just love a man who can beat them up.
This is the only channel that gives detailed information without being misleading or click bait. I have been waiting for this.
The fact that there is 3 videos and still one more coming just proves how messed up P Diddy really is.
There are three things you can be sure of in life: Death, taxes and the fact Diddy will be in Government custody from now on,
@adamsmith7058 I'm kinda praying he is.
Almost thought he had a chance of bail the other day when the law and crime channel covered both sides argument and how diddy and his lawyer were going to request a different judge with, one outside of everything that's happened, with a pretty solid argument and then a day or two later it seemed like his lawyer walked out of court so speculation was he potentially quit the case.
Idkk I just hope he stays in there for a very fkng long time.
He's definitely a flight risk and if he got out, there's a chance he could intimidate witnesses.
If he goes down, I do hope that anyone who enabled or supported his supposed abhorrent behavior, go to jail too. And I usually never wish for anyone to be locked up unless they're a predator or murderer and he appears to be both of those things
@@minervaaurora8109before this video this was one thing I heard.. that he might get bail And my heart dropped. I can’t imagine someone with all of these things being thrown at them would get bail? He would be basically living his life up while others were worried about everything that happened to them and the fact he could get to them..
I must say you’re impressive with your thorough breakdown and execution of your research on this history you werent there to experience ❤❤
Mango, your deep dives (while disturbing) are absolutely the best! Your content is very thorough and you are also an amazing storyteller! We love you!!!
Lol, I love that Sting gets 100% of the royalties on Diddy’s song.
It’s NOT Diddy’s song he stole it you dummy
There’s truly no one like you Stephanie Soo. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication you put into this story that deserves the recognition that you strive to give.
Stephanie is So THAT GURL!!!❤🎉
@ she really is!!💗
I’ve seen so many RUclipsrs report on all of this and this is the most well explained and detailed story telling that I have heard, it really makes it easier and clearer as to events that took place. WOW. Good job. 👏
I am beyond excited to binge watch this series on my 11 hour layover at the airport in Barcelona. God bless you.
This is why I love Stephanie! Whenever I come across videos about crime or viral topics, I skip them and head straight to her channel. I am also one of those who requested about this case because I've seen plenty of videos and a lot of versions, but none are as comprehensive, thorough, and clear as what her team delivers. Kudos to the RM Team! I’m glad that I can listen while working and gain so many insights. Plus, Mr. Panda/Mangobutt asks the questions I would have if Stephanie were right in front of me, which is really cool!♥
I have never commented on a RUclips video but you blew me away with this one!! I love the way you laid out and explained this story and the way you explained Pac was absolutely spot on!! I was 14 when he died and I was OBSESSED with any and everything released about him. I know this wasn’t just about Pac but the way you explained so much of his life and his death is more well put together than anything else I’ve heard. Thank you for all your research, your passion and the love you put into explaining every single story you release. This is your calling girl you are amazing at storytelling!!
Stephanie is The -ISH!!!
WELL DONE!!!
This has been an excellent listen! I really hope you do other super long form cases, including cultural info in future. Im here for it.
The way that you talk about Tupac and Biggie is so beautifully respectful. Stephanie, you continuously make me proud to be your fan.
I Know Right!?!
I Am All Over these Comments Shoutin' Her Out and Givin' Her Props!!!
I think it’s odd that they (rappers like Tupac) get so much respect when they also have sxual assault and abuse allegations. Everyone just forgets the wickedness in that industry if you’re a good enough rapper, and so the cycle continues. They’re not so different.
@ I am not negating any of the wrong doings Tupac ever did. I was simply complimenting how Stephanie and her team goes about approaching these sensitive topics/historical figures.
2pac was just one of those artists who you can't ignore. I'm not even particularly into rap but his words are so compelling and you can really hear the emotions behind everything he says. He wasn't perfect, but he wasn't afraid to BE imperfect and own up to changes he made. He was an artist in the truest sense of the word, his soul is in his music now.
He was authentic and I truly believe he could have been a force for good, had he survived. Jail & Suge Knight was his downfall.
I always thought the lyric was "YOU shot me but you punks didn't finish". By far, the baddest and catchiest song from my high school years. What a blazing anthem.
❤
Now Your Bout to Feel The Wrath Of. A Menace!
I could listen to this lady spill tea all day
I am a stay a home Mama of 2 little kids under 4. I love listening to Stephanie while I’m cooking, cleaning, crocheting.
It breaks my heart and scares me that there are people like this out there and do things like this.
I listen to a lot of true crime and sometimes it’s a wake up call of how scary our world can be. And I have to take breaks and cuddle with my kids and read.
Thanks for covering, Stephanie. ❤️
Thank you again, Stephanie! You’ve been a graceful and articulate storyteller and gave credit where it was due. You’re words about Tupac and Biggie were both respectful and gave the audience a chance to listen in on both sides without any prejudice. Two lives taken too soon who really could’ve changed the world. Please stay safe, Stephanie and Stephusband! You’re doing a phenomenal job at spreading awareness!
Thank you Stephanie soo, for actually speaking out about this case from a clear perspective and giving people an insight on what actually happened/is happening. Many netizens out here on the internet are making jokes about Diddys parties or the '1000 Baby oil' failing to be respectful towards victims and actually taking this seriously
Wow, so much info and she has an amazing memory! She talks nonstop with explicit details of things that happened years ago. I’m so impressed and love her confidence when sharing ♥️
that's what i am thinking. why is she not stopping for a while. Is that being recorded & edited per phase ?
I'm a 42-year-old woman from Australia and my friends and I all loved Tupac. He was and always will be an icon. Tupac got me into hip hop and rap. R.I.P Tupac
I'm so sorry about what happened to him and P Diddy's other victims.
As a black woman I am 👏 👏 👏 👏 4 you Stephanie you did such a great job telling the story tastefully without offending anyone from the Black culture great job. Your research impeccable.
Bill Cosby approves.
Nobody cares that you’re black.
Also, you don’t have to announce it as it’s rather obvious from your username
@@spiceworm8102wtf bro
LMFAO and we all know how easily you get offended.
No cuz she did so we’ll probably better than she thinks cuz it’s hard to understand something your not part off but she did amazing 😊
Stephanie saying "west side til we die" In the sweetest voice wasn't on my 2024 bingo card but... I will not complain.
Hearing this from a non biased standpoint is refreshing & eye opening for fans of some on the people mentioned in this video
So courageous of you to cover this case. Thank you for all the work you do. Someone had to do it and the universe chose you. We love and appreciate you Stephanie!
Thank you for explaining this case in the most respectful way possible. Its actually infuriating how anything related to this case has become a meme, brainrot entertainment to people smh
Yea except for the fact about the unnecessary narrating as if she's the victim herself 🙃 and adding stuff like as if its a story.
I love her intro’s because they make me so excited , they are so beautifully suspenseful
Yesss... Whoever writes her intro... is a talented one.
Stephanie you are the best. I love how you presented this 😢❤
