Investigative Series: One Label Under Blackmail: The Early Intersections of Diddy and the Epstein Network: https://unlimitedhangout.com/2025/04/investigative-series/one-label-under-blackmail-the-early-intersections-of-diddy-and-the-epstein-network/


Generated Summary:

Main Topic:

The video discusses Whitney Webb’s article “One Label Under Blackmail,” which explores the connections between Sean “Diddy” Combs, Jeffrey Epstein, and a larger network involving organized crime, intelligence agencies, and the music industry.

Key Points:

  • Diddy & Epstein as Fall Guys: The article suggests Diddy and Epstein are not the heads of the snake, but rather figures being sacrificed to protect more powerful individuals.
  • Clive Davis’s Influence & Scandal: Clive Davis, a key figure in Diddy’s career, had a prior scandal involving embezzlement and alleged connections to procuring drugs and prostitutes. Despite this, he quickly rebounded in the music industry.
  • Compromising of Artists: Allegations that Davis, Andre Harrell, and Russell Simmons used drugs and alcohol to compromise Diddy, and that Diddy then used similar tactics to control younger artists like Usher and Justin Bieber.
  • Blackmail & Recording: Diddy’s obsessive drive to record everything, potentially for blackmail purposes, possibly influenced by Clive Davis.
  • Mob Ties & Private Prisons: The article highlights alleged mob ties within MCA Records and connections to the private prison system. The video references an anonymous industry insider’s account of a meeting where record labels were encouraged to promote crime in hip-hop to fill private prisons.
  • CIA Involvement & Drug Trafficking: Allegations that MCA Records had ties to the CIA and that the CIA was involved in drug trafficking in black communities.
  • Political Connections: Lou Wasserman of MCA had close ties to Bill Clinton, with the Wasserman Foundation becoming a major donor to the Clinton Foundation.
  • Death Row as an Intelligence Front: The video mentions that part two of the series will examine the East vs. West Rap feud and the deaths of Tupac and Biggie, and that Death Row Records was an intelligence front.
  • Corporations Profiting from Inmate Labor: Companies like Walmart and Microsoft are mentioned as having profited from inmate labor.

Highlights:

  • Whitney Webb’s detailed investigation linking Diddy and Epstein to a broader network of corruption.
  • The allegation that record labels conspired to promote criminal behavior in rap music to benefit from private prison investments.
  • The suggestion that Diddy and Epstein are taking the fall to protect more powerful figures within the network.
  • The historical context of alleged CIA involvement in drug trafficking and its impact on black communities.

    What’s with the overproduced thumbnail? Seems to have nothing to do with the actual podcast.

    So the claim is that neither Diddy nor Epstein are “the head of the snake” and the implication is that the podcast will reveal who that is.

    She then continues to pile dirt on producer Clive Davis - and don’t get me wrong, I’m sure she’s right there, but why single him out, in an industry that was rife with shadiness and probably still is?

    It gets more and more conspiratorial, but 10 min in we still don’t know who’s the head of the snake of that pedophile ring that Epstein supposedly is NOT the boss of.

    If this isn’t utter bullshit please help me to understand it in a way that does not require me to listen to someone reading blog articles for 37 minutes.

      It’s a YouTube thumbnail with Epstein, Whitney Webb, and Diddy.

      The Sabby Sabs editor that created it would know much more about why they created it a certain way, like the many other thumbnails in her other videos.

      I provided a direct link to the article, which is a 70-min read.

      Sabby Sabs goes over some sections she thinks are important.

      Clive Davis is important in that Diddy learned everything from him because they were used against Diddy, and then Diddy did that to other young artists.

      Sabby goes into the artists were pushed to promote violence in their music so as to increase mass incarceration, which the companies were highly invested in for-profit prisons.

      Anyway, it ties back to the rampant organized crime within the music industry (shell companies), and a certain alphabet agency of the government is involved in spreading drugs and guns in Black communities.

      Combs, from the early 1990s onward, appears to have been a key frontman for this network and its ambitions. He was likely not the sole mastermind or beneficiary of all of the scandalous parties, sexual violence, public promotion of violence, and alleged blackmail in which he engaged. He was a product of a network and a system that –– in the case of Combs –– was seeking to target and corrupt the broader African-American community in similar ways. Ultimately, Combs, like some other prominent entertainers, was servile to his music industry masters. He worked within a system those masters controlled and attempted to expand his own influence and power within that system, but –– at the end of the day –– he was never in charge.

      In the next installment of this series, we will explore Combs’ expanding influence in hip-hop and also in other industries, like retail, again all courtesy of the very same network outlined in this piece. While Combs publicly projected power and success, both of those things were conditional and, like Epstein, now exposed, he is due to take the fall in order to take the heat off of the people behind the curtain.[1]
