00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,080
The courtroom had seen its share of wild
2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,400
moments. But when Kanye West walked in,
3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,960
the room seemed to shift. No flashy
4
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,160
entrance, no entourage, just Kanye. All
5
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,480
black, no shades, and a look on his face
6
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,880
like he was carrying something heavy. He
7
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,039
sat down, looked straight ahead, and
8
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:19,920
dropped a statement no one expected. I'm
9
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,560
not here to talk about
10
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,760
records. I'm here to talk about what
11
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,880
happened to Michael Jackson. The air got
12
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,359
thick. People in the gallery leaned
13
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:31,679
forward. Even the judge looked stunned
14
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:33,920
for a second. Then Kanye pointed across
15
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,120
the room at a man named Fahim Muhammad.
16
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,840
He worked security for Diddy. Now,
17
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,559
before that, he was the guy watching
18
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:44,600
over Michael during his last
19
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,280
days. Kanye said Michael made a call
20
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,120
right before it all went wrong. A call
21
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,559
that didn't sound like someone just
22
00:00:50,559 --> 00:00:53,760
dealing with stress. According to Kanye,
23
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,199
Michael was scared. He felt surrounded,
24
00:00:57,199 --> 00:00:59,760
hunted even. And Kanye believed the
25
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,440
strings were being pulled by someone
26
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,840
higher up. He didn't just mean shady
27
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,080
business deals. He didn't mean industry
28
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,400
beef. He was talking about a quiet group
29
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,880
of powerful people, folks who move in
30
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,360
the background. And in Kanye's eyes,
31
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,840
Diddy wasn't just in that circle. He was
32
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,759
playing chess with lives. And this
33
00:01:17,759 --> 00:01:20,799
wasn't some meltdown moment. Kanye
34
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:24,040
wasn't pacing or shouting. He was calm,
35
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,640
focused, like someone who had rehearsed
36
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,720
the truth in his mind over and over
37
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,640
again. Then he brought up something
38
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,799
strange, his own trainer, Harley
39
00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:35,280
Pastanac, a name that raised eyebrows a
40
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,360
while back when Kanye claimed the guy
41
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,400
tried to send him away for
42
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,920
reprogramming. Kanye said the same
43
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,840
behindthe-scenes hands that tried to
44
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,920
silence him were the same ones that
45
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,720
slowly boxed Michael in. He didn't have
46
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,320
a slideshow, no viral clip, just a story
47
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,720
that felt more like a warning and a
48
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,960
question no one in that courtroom was
49
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,680
ready to answer. Kanye didn't just name
50
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,520
drop Fahim Muhammad, he locked eyes with
51
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,920
him. That's the man, he said, the same
52
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,800
guy guarding Diddy today was also
53
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,039
standing beside Michael Jackson in his
54
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:13,520
final months. But according to Kanye,
55
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,920
Fahim wasn't hired to protect Michael.
56
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:17,920
He was planted to make sure Michael
57
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:19,160
stayed
58
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,760
quiet. Then Kanye said something that
59
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,480
made the room hold its breath. He
60
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,480
claimed both he and Michael had received
61
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,640
the same kind of message from the same
62
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:31,120
shadowy network. Follow the script and
63
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,680
or you won't make it to the stage.
64
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,519
Michael didn't listen. Kanye didn't
65
00:02:36,519 --> 00:02:39,680
either. And then came the part that
66
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,319
truly rattled the room.
67
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:44,800
Kanye claimed he'd heard Michael's last
68
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,200
voicemail. Said the Jackson family let
69
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,560
him hear it years ago privately. He
70
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,720
described Michael's voice as scared and
71
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,160
shaky, like he was hiding in plain
72
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,400
sight. Whispers, heavy breathing, barely
73
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,400
above a whisper, and the last thing
74
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,879
Michael allegedly said, "Tell them it's
75
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:04,680
Puffy. He knows I'm
76
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,319
here." A gasp shot through the gallery.
77
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:11,599
Jurors looked frozen. Diddy clenched the
78
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:14,159
table so tight his knuckles went white.
79
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:16,560
His lawyers leaned in, whispering fast.
80
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,480
But Kanye, he just repeated it. Michael
81
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,840
knew. Then he turned the spotlight back
82
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,400
to Fahim. Most people have never even
83
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,680
heard that name. Fahhem Muhammad. But
84
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,080
Kanye made sure they wouldn't forget it.
85
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,920
He looked at the jury and asked
86
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:34,799
something that hit like a punch.
87
00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:36,879
Why would the most famous person on
88
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:39,280
earth, someone who had been threatened,
89
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,000
stalked, and targeted for decades, trust
90
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,080
his life to a 20-year-old fresh out of
91
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,080
college? Fahheem had just left
92
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,720
Sacramento State. No elite training, no
93
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,879
military background. Yet within months,
94
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:52,920
he was in charge of keeping Michael
95
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,440
safe. Kanye said it wasn't Michael's
96
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,439
choice, that Fahhem came through
97
00:03:57,439 --> 00:03:59,519
industry channels. And when you trace
98
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:01,439
those channels, they lead straight to
99
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:04,319
Sha Combmes. According to Kanye, Fahim
100
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:06,480
had been around Diddy for a long time,
101
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,319
working behind the scenes in roles no
102
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:10,640
one ever talked about. So when he showed
103
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,879
up in Michael Jackson's camp, Kanye
104
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:15,720
believed it wasn't a coincidence. It was
105
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,479
strategy. Kanye said Fahhem had access
106
00:04:18,479 --> 00:04:20,479
to everything. Michael's calendar, his
107
00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:22,560
doctor list, his staff contacts, even
108
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,280
the things Michael feared most. And if
109
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:27,520
you control a man's fears, you control
110
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,520
the man. Just when it felt like the room
111
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,080
couldn't handle more, Kanye peeled back
112
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,440
another layer. He said, "Fahim Muhammad,
113
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,520
the same man who once guarded Michael
114
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,440
Jackson and now runs tight security
115
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,840
around Diddy, wasn't just walking red
116
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:44,400
carpets and staying behind the scenes.
117
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,840
He had spoken at the Wharton School of
118
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:50,000
Business." Yes, that Wharton, one of the
119
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,080
most elite schools in the country. And
120
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,759
Kanye, he said that was a red flag.
121
00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:57,680
What kind of bodyguard gives guest
122
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,919
lectures at Ivy League schools? He asked
123
00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:02,080
the jury. Not someone who carries a
124
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,360
weapon, someone who carries out a
125
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,199
mission. He didn't call Fahheim a spy
126
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:09,680
outright, but he let the idea hang heavy
127
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,919
in the air. Then came something even
128
00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:14,240
more chilling. Kanye said there were
129
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,639
whispers. Whispers that after Michael's
130
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:18,320
passing, Fahheem had been the one to
131
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,759
quietly clean up, wiping hard drives,
132
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:23,680
deleting security footage from inside
133
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,160
the mansion. Now years later, that same
134
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,320
man is side by side with Diddy, helping
135
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,080
run his empire like nothing ever
136
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,960
happened. But Kanye wasn't finished. He
137
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,960
brought up a recent legal case filed by
138
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,680
a music producer named Lil Rod, a
139
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,400
lawsuit that named Fahhem directly. In
140
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,039
it, Fahheem was described as the fixer,
141
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:45,039
the problem solver, the one who made
142
00:05:45,039 --> 00:05:47,080
issues and people
143
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,039
vanish. Kanye's voice dropped a notch.
144
00:05:51,039 --> 00:05:55,840
First Michael, then me. Who's next? Then
145
00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:57,919
he moved into territory he'd only ever
146
00:05:57,919 --> 00:06:01,039
hinted at before. The idea of handlers,
147
00:06:01,039 --> 00:06:03,360
people placed into celebrities lives to
148
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,520
steer them, to keep them from going off
149
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,680
script. And if they push back, there are
150
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,800
consequences. He brought up his own
151
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,680
former trainer, Harley Pastanac. Kanye
152
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,199
looked straight at the jury and said,
153
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:17,680
"That man once texted me, told me if I
154
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,440
didn't get back in line, I'd be sent
155
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,400
back to Zombie Land." That wasn't a
156
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,199
metaphor. Kanye claimed Harley actually
157
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:26,800
threatened to lock him away in a
158
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,039
hospital, not because he needed help,
159
00:06:29,039 --> 00:06:32,319
but because he refused to obey. Then
160
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:34,720
Kanye made a sharp connection. Two
161
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,680
different celebrities, two different
162
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,840
handlers. Harley for him, for he for
163
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:43,880
Michael. Same method, same goal.
164
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,039
Control. Only difference. Kanye's
165
00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:50,160
handler sent texts. Michael's had keys
166
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,720
to the house, to the medicine, to his
167
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,360
life. He broke it down for the court
168
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,160
like it was a puzzle. Michael Jackson
169
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,360
gained power, real power. When he bought
170
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,840
half of Sony's music catalog, he
171
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:05,759
challenged the big names, called out
172
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:08,080
Tommy Mottler in public. He refused to
173
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,680
play nice. Then suddenly he was unwell,
174
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,360
then out of sight, then gone. and Fahim.
175
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,919
He was the one managing his security the
176
00:07:17,919 --> 00:07:20,560
entire time. Kanye drew the parallels to
177
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,919
his own life. Rising fame, big deals,
178
00:07:23,919 --> 00:07:26,880
global tours. Then he started calling
179
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,319
out Adidas, Grammy insiders, fashion
180
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:32,840
houses, even people he once called
181
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,080
friends. He didn't bow down and suddenly
182
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,560
deals vanished. Hospitals got involved.
183
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,840
His world flipped. A modern-day Michael,
184
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,560
Kanye said. But he wasn't pointing just
185
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,080
to himself. He brought up Prince, DMX,
186
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,520
Whitney, legends, icons, people who,
187
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,520
according to Kanye, had one thing in
188
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,440
common before they passed. They were
189
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,720
afraid. They all said something didn't
190
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,560
feel right, Kanye told the jury. Then he
191
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,039
paused. You don't have to believe me.
192
00:08:05,039 --> 00:08:06,960
Just look at the pattern, Kanye said,
193
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,800
his voice steady, but heavy. They
194
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,560
silence us and they smile doing
195
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,520
it. For a moment, no one moved. The jury
196
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:16,360
sat
197
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,440
frozen. One juror, according to reports,
198
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,479
wiped away a tear. Diddy didn't flinch.
199
00:08:22,479 --> 00:08:24,479
His face was stoned, but his shoulders
200
00:08:24,479 --> 00:08:26,479
tight, his hands clenched under the
201
00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:28,400
table. The judge finally called for a
202
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,240
short break, but the damage was already
203
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,279
done. When court resumed, Kanye took
204
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:35,919
things even deeper. He said someone from
205
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:38,479
Michael Jackson's own family had once
206
00:08:38,479 --> 00:08:40,640
shared something with him, something not
207
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,000
meant for public ears, a voicemail. The
208
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,120
last one Michael ever left. According to
209
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,240
Kanye, that message was full of fear.
210
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,560
Michael was whispering, barely holding
211
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:55,040
it together. I don't feel safe, he
212
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,360
allegedly said. He's here. I know he is.
213
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,200
They're trying to take everything. And
214
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,880
then came the line that sent the room
215
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,240
into a full-blown hush. Tell them it's
216
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,040
Puffy. He knows he's here. Please
217
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,040
protect the kids. Gasps broke out.
218
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,800
People in the gallery looked around like
219
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,040
they had just heard a ghost speak. The
220
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,680
judge shouted for order, but the weight
221
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:20,720
of those words wouldn't go away. Kanye
222
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,480
said that Michael had made that call to
223
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,640
someone close, someone who didn't act
224
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,880
fast enough, someone who didn't believe
225
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,480
it was real until it was too late. In
226
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,560
the final days of Michael's life, Kanye
227
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:35,600
said things changed fast. His real team
228
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,399
disappeared, replaced by strangers.
229
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:40,240
People who didn't understand him didn't
230
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,600
protect him or maybe didn't want to.
231
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,160
Michael was boxed in. Kanye said he
232
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,720
wasn't just surrounded by assistants. He
233
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,440
was surrounded by plants. People placed
234
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,240
there to monitor, not help.
235
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,959
And at the center of that shift, Fahim
236
00:09:57,959 --> 00:10:01,160
Muhammad Kanye turned to the jury
237
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,320
again. Why would a fresh college grad,
238
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,040
barely in his 20s, suddenly be in charge
239
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,519
of the most famous human being alive?
240
00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:12,080
Why was Michael's longtime security team
241
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,320
gone overnight? Then Kanye dropped
242
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,040
something subtle but serious. On the
243
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,040
night Michael passed, the security
244
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,959
camera system in the mansion stopped
245
00:10:20,959 --> 00:10:23,839
working. No video, no footage, just
246
00:10:23,839 --> 00:10:26,000
static. He said that surveillance
247
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,120
footage was either erased or never
248
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,279
recorded. The exact same thing, Kanye
249
00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:33,519
claimed that happened at Diddy's private
250
00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:35,800
tunnel during an unrelated
251
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,399
investigation. He didn't stop there.
252
00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:40,800
Kanye floated a theory, one the
253
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,279
courtroom didn't
254
00:10:42,279 --> 00:10:44,720
expect. "What if Michael wasn't supposed
255
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,880
to pass from the medicine?" he asked.
256
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,800
"What if that was just part of a bigger
257
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,519
plan and something went wrong?
258
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:53,519
He explained that Michael was sitting on
259
00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:55,760
something worth billions. His publishing
260
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,800
rights, his music catalog, his tour, the
261
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,720
comeback shows were expected to be the
262
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,120
biggest in history. And then nothing.
263
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,920
Kanye paused for a second. Let it
264
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,399
breathe. Then he dropped the line like
265
00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:12,959
it was a final verse. Michael's death
266
00:11:12,959 --> 00:11:15,399
was the cleanest business move Sony ever
267
00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:18,720
made. From there, the floodgates opened.
268
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,320
Kanye didn't just make this about
269
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,399
Michael anymore. He made it about all of
270
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:24,720
them. The ones he said the industry
271
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,160
couldn't control. Whitney, DMX, Prince,
272
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,519
Amy, Left Eye. He said each of them had
273
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:33,839
tried to fight the system. Each of them
274
00:11:33,839 --> 00:11:36,720
tried to speak truth and each of them
275
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,320
one way or another ended up gone. He
276
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,519
spoke of Prince, how the music icon
277
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:45,600
fought his label, warned others about
278
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,680
contracts, ownership, and how it all
279
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:50,480
worked behind the curtain. He reminded
280
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,920
the court that Prince was found
281
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,240
unresponsive, alone in an elevator. Just
282
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,399
days after saying someone was watching
283
00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:01,600
him, then came Whitney Houston. Kanye
284
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,079
claimed she once told Clive Davis she
285
00:12:04,079 --> 00:12:07,120
knew too much, especially about private
286
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,000
events tied to some powerful circles.
287
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,399
Events Kanye hinted were more than just
288
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:14,800
parties. When she started acting
289
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,680
erratic, Kanye said it wasn't random.
290
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:19,680
They paint you as unstable so they don't
291
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:22,399
have to explain your ending. Then came
292
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:25,440
Lisa Left Eye Lopes. He said she
293
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,600
recorded a video just days before her
294
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,480
crash in Honduras. In the video, she
295
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,560
said spirits were warning her that she
296
00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:33,399
felt
297
00:12:33,399 --> 00:12:36,800
hunted. Soon after, her car veered off a
298
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,120
road. No guardrails, no second
299
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,440
chances. "You know what she said?" Kanye
300
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,399
asked the courtroom. She said, "I'm
301
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:47,480
being
302
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,519
followed." Then
303
00:12:50,519 --> 00:12:53,160
silence. According to Kanye, this wasn't
304
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,880
random. This was systematic, a pattern,
305
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,880
a purge.
306
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,040
When you stop being useful, he said
307
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,519
quietly. Or when you speak too loudly or
308
00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:05,680
when you own too much, you stop being an
309
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:08,720
artist. You become a threat. The room
310
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,800
was already tense when Kanye said one
311
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,880
last name, and it sent a chill through
312
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,480
the gallery. Biggie
313
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,480
Smalls. Kanye didn't shout. He didn't
314
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,320
need to. He just looked around and
315
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,240
asked, "You really think it's a
316
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,399
coincidence that Biggiey's case is still
317
00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:26,720
a mystery and the only one from that era
318
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,440
still walking tall is
319
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,920
Diddy?" The room went still. He wasn't
320
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,560
just talking about music anymore. He was
321
00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:36,399
pointing at something bigger, something
322
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:38,560
that, according to him, had been hiding
323
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:41,920
in plain sight. He described Diddy not
324
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,320
as a superstar, but as the face of
325
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,000
something much deeper, a brand, Kanye
326
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,639
said, built not just on beats and
327
00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:53,680
bottles, but on control. He called it
328
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:55,760
one of the most untouchable empires in
329
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,720
the music world, protected, polished,
330
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,519
and incredibly powerful. Then he brought
331
00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:04,079
up the Lil Rod lawsuit, the one that
332
00:14:04,079 --> 00:14:07,440
mentions wild parties, shady favors, and
333
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,160
whispered bribes. But Kanye said that's
334
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,760
just the cover story, a
335
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,440
distraction. The real operation, he told
336
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,000
the court, is about silence, control,
337
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,920
and making sure certain people don't
338
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,480
speak. He claimed Didd's influence
339
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,639
stretched far beyond record labels,
340
00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:26,560
reaching into political circles,
341
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,720
corporate offices, and even retired
342
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,120
government figures. "This is why some
343
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,680
people just disappear," Kanye said. This
344
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,480
is why cases vanish, why stories don't
345
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,800
make the news, and you can't fix that
346
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,120
with a lawyer, he added. You fight it
347
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,600
with the truth, with the spotlight. Then
348
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,440
he made a claim that pulled every eye in
349
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,680
the courtroom. He said the footage the
350
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,000
feds took during the raids. What the
351
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,839
public saw was just the tip of it.
352
00:14:51,839 --> 00:14:54,160
There's more, Kanye said. And I've seen
353
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,720
it. He claimed there were underground
354
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,519
tunnels, hidden paperwork, and names.
355
00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:01,360
names of people still working in the
356
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,680
industry, some running major companies,
357
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,560
some sitting quietly in the courtroom.
358
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,079
Then Kanye revealed what he called the
359
00:15:09,079 --> 00:15:11,920
pyramid. Not the one in Egypt. This one
360
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,000
was made of people, personal assistants,
361
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,959
stylists, bodyguards, lawyers, trainers.
362
00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:20,959
Each one placed like a chess piece, he
363
00:15:20,959 --> 00:15:23,680
said, to serve a purpose. Watch, report,
364
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,160
and keep the stars from breaking rank.
365
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,800
You're not allowed to leave, Kanye said.
366
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,519
You're not allowed to speak. If you do,
367
00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:33,680
he paused. You don't just lose your job,
368
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,120
you disappear. He claimed Fahim Muhammad
369
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,120
again was the key figure, the fixer, the
370
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,680
quiet voice on the phone, the guy who
371
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,079
makes the call, clears the phones, tells
372
00:15:46,079 --> 00:15:49,120
you to shut up or never wake up. Then he
373
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,519
delivered the line that made jaws drop.
374
00:15:51,519 --> 00:15:54,399
Fahheim was there when Michael passed.
375
00:15:54,399 --> 00:15:57,519
Fahheim is here now. What changed? You
376
00:15:57,519 --> 00:16:00,000
could hear people exhale. Kanye wasn't
377
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,240
done yet. He said the world didn't just
378
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,279
lose Michael Jackson. It monetized his
379
00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:08,079
fall. The industry didn't just bury him.
380
00:16:08,079 --> 00:16:10,920
Kanye said they turned his death into a
381
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,320
blueprint. For a moment, the room froze.
382
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,440
No phones buzzed. No papers shuffled.
383
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,240
Kanye's voice was sharp, clear, focused.
384
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,560
No yelling, no chaos, just cold truth.
385
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,639
Diddy didn't say a word. But those
386
00:16:24,639 --> 00:16:28,160
watching closely saw the cracks. His jaw
387
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,440
tightened, his fingers twitched. At one
388
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,199
point, he leaned in and whispered
389
00:16:33,199 --> 00:16:35,440
something fast to his legal team.
390
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,320
Something had shifted. Kanye then turned
391
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,399
and stared directly at Diddy. "You
392
00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:42,399
remember what you did?" he asked. "You
393
00:16:42,399 --> 00:16:45,279
stood there and watched the king fall."
394
00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:48,399
The courtroom exploded, not in chaos, in
395
00:16:48,399 --> 00:16:51,120
shock. Murmurss, reporters whispering
396
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,519
updates into their phones. The judge
397
00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:55,600
slammed the gavvel and ordered silence,
398
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,519
but the energy in the room had flipped.
399
00:16:57,519 --> 00:16:59,920
Even court sketch artists noted it.
400
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:02,480
Diddy's body language changed. He didn't
401
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,199
scream. He didn't object. He just sat
402
00:17:05,199 --> 00:17:08,880
there blinking, cornered. One Rolling
403
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,839
Stone journalist posted online. Diddy's
404
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:14,319
face looked like the lights went out.
405
00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:16,480
Kanye didn't just testify. He flipped
406
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,760
the entire room with that one line. Then
407
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,079
Kanye gave the court something personal.
408
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:24,400
He said Michael once confided in him.
409
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,799
Said he felt watched. Said he felt like
410
00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:28,559
someone inside his house was planning
411
00:17:28,559 --> 00:17:32,360
against him. He never said a name, Kanye
412
00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:34,799
admitted. But the way he described the
413
00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:39,960
guy, young, calm, always around,
414
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,160
watching, and it matched Fahim
415
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,760
Muhammad. Michael didn't hire him.
416
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,440
Michael didn't trust him. And
417
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,960
suddenly the testimony stopped sounding
418
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,080
like a rant. It felt like a reveal, a
419
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,080
quiet peeling back of something too big
420
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,559
to ignore. This wasn't some public
421
00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:00,559
meltdown. This was something else
422
00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:02,880
entirely. Kanye wasn't ranting. He
423
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,960
wasn't rambling. He was letting go of
424
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,480
something he said he'd carried in
425
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,120
silence for years. I'm not here to
426
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:11,840
perform, he told the court. I'm here
427
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,919
because someone lost their life and
428
00:18:13,919 --> 00:18:17,039
someone else got rich from it.
429
00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:20,240
That line hit hard. Without saying his
430
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,960
name directly, Kanye pointed to one of
431
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,440
the biggest shifts in the music world.
432
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,720
How right after Michael Jackson passed,
433
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,520
Diddy's empire suddenly multiplied.
434
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,559
Catalog deals, streaming rights, and
435
00:18:34,559 --> 00:18:37,520
whispers of a fortune built in part off
436
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,000
of MJ's
437
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,520
legacy. It wasn't just about the money.
438
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,559
It was about the timing. Kanye painted a
439
00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:46,960
chilling picture. Michael was worth more
440
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,280
gone than he was alive. And someone out
441
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,600
there made sure that switch happened.
442
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,520
The courtroom was tense, but the outside
443
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,400
world, it was on fire. Within minutes,
444
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,240
the live stream had sparked a media
445
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,720
earthquake. Headlines exploded across
446
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,000
every platform. Kanye West testifies
447
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,919
Diddy benefited from MJ's death. Kanye
448
00:19:09,919 --> 00:19:12,160
accuses music giant of orchestrating the
449
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,280
King of Pop's final days. Shock waves in
450
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,160
court and across the industry. But the
451
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,160
story didn't stop with the press. That
452
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,799
same day, the Jackson family responded,
453
00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:25,520
and what they said changed everything.
454
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,600
Jermaine Jackson posted a short message
455
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,480
on Instagram. It read, "Kanye said what
456
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,559
we've known but couldn't say. Michael
457
00:19:32,559 --> 00:19:34,400
was taken from us. The world needs to
458
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,720
hear it." Then Latoya Jackson, through
459
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,280
her lawyer, made a statement, too.
460
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,840
Michael didn't just collapse. He was
461
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,559
removed because he knew too much. And
462
00:19:44,559 --> 00:19:46,799
just like that, the silence cracked. Not
463
00:19:46,799 --> 00:19:49,200
long after, leaked emails started to
464
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,679
surface reportedly from a whistleblower
465
00:19:51,679 --> 00:19:54,240
inside AEG, the company managing
466
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,400
Michael's final tour. One message stood
467
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,240
out. He doesn't have to be healthy. He
468
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,440
just needs to make it to opening night.
469
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,640
Kanye's testimony had opened a vault.
470
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,799
Former employees from Michael's camp
471
00:20:08,799 --> 00:20:11,200
began reaching out to the court.
472
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,520
Some said they saw unfamiliar faces in
473
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,520
the house. Before the night, everything
474
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,320
changed. One said Michael had become so
475
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,520
paranoid he'd sleep with loud music
476
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,039
playing because he believed someone was
477
00:20:23,039 --> 00:20:26,080
sending voices through the walls. "Even
478
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,240
retired detectives who worked the case
479
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,440
back in 2009 were now speaking up." "We
480
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,200
missed something," one of them told a
481
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,360
reporter. "This wasn't just about a bad
482
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:38,159
doctor. This might have been a setup."
483
00:20:38,159 --> 00:20:40,320
Every news network scrambled to catch
484
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,520
up. Talk shows, legal panels, morning
485
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,400
anchors, everyone had an opinion. Some
486
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,200
called Kanye's claims far-fetched.
487
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,919
Others rewatched his testimony over and
488
00:20:51,919 --> 00:20:54,480
over, especially the moment he said,
489
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,360
"They're still watching
490
00:20:56,360 --> 00:21:01,520
us." Online, the mood shifted fast. This
491
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,559
wasn't about a new album. Kanye wasn't
492
00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:06,799
trending for sneakers or sound bites. He
493
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:08,240
was trending because people were
494
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,640
beginning to believe he might actually
495
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,280
be telling the truth. Inside the
496
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,280
courthouse, things got even more
497
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,840
intense. Security was tightened. The
498
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,679
judge held a closed door meeting with
499
00:21:19,679 --> 00:21:23,400
both legal teams. The atmosphere
500
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,679
unpredictable. Diddy's lawyers tried to
501
00:21:25,679 --> 00:21:28,080
downplay it all. They said Kanye's
502
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,679
claims were personal, baseless, just
503
00:21:30,679 --> 00:21:33,760
noise. But the public wasn't buying it.
504
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,240
Clips of Kanye declaring, "They call me
505
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,159
crazy because I'm telling the truth,"
506
00:21:38,159 --> 00:21:40,559
were going viral across platforms.
507
00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:42,320
Prosecutors began to review their
508
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,760
witness list. And suddenly, one name,
509
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,679
long buried, was being whispered with
510
00:21:48,679 --> 00:21:52,640
urgency. Fahhem Muhammad. Rumors started
511
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,320
swirling that federal agents were
512
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,120
dusting off old MJ case files,
513
00:21:57,120 --> 00:21:59,760
revisiting old evidence, asking new
514
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,440
questions, especially about that
515
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,520
mysterious voicemail. and the names it
516
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,480
mentioned. But perhaps the most
517
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,720
emotional moment came from Michael's
518
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,520
children. According to an insider, Paris
519
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,679
Jackson had privately told friends she
520
00:22:13,679 --> 00:22:16,000
always believed something was off, that
521
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,280
her father didn't just go. And then in a
522
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,360
tweet that was later deleted, Prince
523
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:23,679
Jackson reportedly wrote, "Now I
524
00:22:23,679 --> 00:22:25,600
understand why he was scared. The
525
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,480
industry isn't what it
526
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,919
seems." This trial wasn't just about
527
00:22:29,919 --> 00:22:32,320
Diddy anymore. It had cracked open
528
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,320
something bigger. A system, a silence, a
529
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,120
shadow that stretched across decades.
530
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:41,679
And Kanye, the same person many had
531
00:22:41,679 --> 00:22:44,000
dismissed as unpredictable, was now the
532
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,240
one forcing everyone to look.38383
