Hi, this is Alex Cantrowitz.
0:01
I'm the host of Big Technology Podcast,
0:03
a long time reporter and an on-air contributor to CNBC.
0:06
And if you're like me, you're trying to figure out
0:08
how artificial intelligence is changing the business world
0:12
So each week on Big Technology,
0:14
I bring on key actors from companies building AI tech
0:18
and outsiders trying to influence it,
0:20
asking where this is all going.
0:21
They come from places like Nvidia, Microsoft,
0:24
Amazon, and plenty more.
0:25
So if you want to be smart with your wallet,
0:27
your career choices,
0:28
and meetings with your colleagues and at dinner parties,
0:31
listen to Big Technology Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
0:35
I'm caught up in the game.
0:36
My attention is on every play and every whistle,
0:38
but what I'm missing is a signal coming from my kidneys.
0:41
That signal isn't like a ref's whistle.
0:43
It's more of a silent SOS,
0:45
which could be warning me of an increased risk
0:47
for events like heart attack or stroke.
0:49
And a way I can catch that signal?
0:51
A simple urine test called UACR.
0:54
If you have type two diabetes or high blood pressure,
0:56
talk to your doctor about the UACR test, detect the SOS.

1:04
What's up everyone and welcome back to the program.
1:07
In this episode, we're going to pick up
1:09
where we left off with the amended complaint
1:12
filed by Rodney Jones.
1:17
Mr. Jones is sexually assaulted by a young Miami's cousin, 92.
1:22
On Thanksgiving day, 2022,
1:24
Mr. Jones was in Mr. Combs' house in Miami, Florida.
1:28
Young Miami and her female cousin, Jane Doe 1,
1:31
were also present, 93.
1:33
According to Mr. Jones, Mr. Combs was intoxicated
1:36
and offered cocaine to Mr. Jones.
1:38
Mr. Jones rejected him and proceeded to walk to the restroom, 94.
1:44
While using the restroom,
1:45
young Miami's cousin burst into the bathroom
1:47
and began groping Mr. Jones.
1:49
Mr. Jones believes that Mr. Combs
1:52
sent her there to sexually assault Mr. Jones.
1:56
According to Mr. Jones, as she entered the bathroom,
1:59
she dropped to her knees and began performing oral sex
2:02
on Mr. Jones' exposed penis.
2:04
Mr. Jones pushed her away and exited the bathroom.
2:09
According to Mr. Jones,
2:10
young Miami's cousin did not accept Mr. Jones' rejection
2:13
as she proceeded to follow Mr. Jones out of the bathroom.
2:19
She started undressing and attempted to straddle him
2:21
and have sex with him in the presence of Mr. Combs
2:27
Despite the lack of assistance from Mr. Combs
2:29
and his staff, Mr. Jones pushed her off.
2:32
The following are images from a video
2:34
of young Miami, her cousin, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Combs.
2:39

2:42
According to Mr. Jones,
2:44
he was transported from California to New York, Florida,
2:47

2:50
throughout his time with Mr. Combs.
2:54
According to Mr. Jones,
2:56
Mr. Jones was forced to solicit sex workers
2:59
and perform sex acts to pleasure Mr. Combs.

3:25
He was in bed with two sex workers and Mr. Combs.
3:29
He also recalls aimlessly wandering around the house
3:34
According to Mr. Jones on another occasion
3:38
on Thanksgiving night of 2022,
3:40
Mr. Combs asked Mr. Jones and the forest tailor
3:43
to enter the studio bathroom.
3:47
According to Mr. Jones,
3:48
he asked him for a hundred dollar bill
3:50
because he wanted to do cocaine with him.
3:53
Mr. Jones was scared,
3:55
but luckily he didn't have a hundred dollar bill.
3:57
So Mr. Combs waited a little while
4:00
to do coke with young Miami.
4:03
According to Mr. Jones,
4:05
Mr. Combs required Mr. Jones
4:08
to solicit sex workers from booby trap on the river.

in unsolicited sex acts with these workers.

According to Mr. Jones,
4:22
as part of Mr. Jones' sex worker recruitment tools,
4:25
Mr. Combs provided Mr. Jones
4:27
with an exclusive bad boy baseball cap.

4:32
to booby trap on the river
4:33
as a signal to any sex worker.

from booby trap on the river.
4:59

5:07
According to Mr. Jones,
5:08
these workers were accustomed
5:10
to servicing Mr. Combs
5:11
and would know he was in town
5:13
by the sight of the bad boy baseball cap.

6:13
According to Mr. Jones,

6:29
He promised him ownership
6:31
of his $20,000 property,
6:35
He promised him access
6:36
to record label executives.
6:40
According to Mr. Jones,
6:41
Mr. Combs would often switch up his approach.
6:45
He would go from promising Mr. Jones
6:47
the world to threatening Mr. Jones

The love album, 131.
11:54
Throughout his time with Mr. Colms,
11:55
Mr. Jones was under
11:57
and implied work for a higher agreement.
11:59
132, according to Mr. Jones,
12:02
he was not compensated
12:03
for his time living with Mr. Colms
12:05
or for the songs that he produced.
12:09
133, according to Mr. Jones,
12:11
he was recruited by a Frankie Santella
12:13
to work on the love album, Mr. Jones,
12:16
and for Mr. Santella
12:17
that he required the following
12:18
to work the love album.
12:20
A, 20,000 per song,
12:23
B, four royalty points,
12:24
C, credit as producer,
12:26
and credited for each instrument Mr. Jones played.
12:29
And D, Mr. Jones must retain
12:31
his publishing rights.
12:33
134, according to Mr. Jones,
12:35
they agreed to terms detailed above
12:37
after meeting with Frankie Santella.
12:40
Mr. Jones met with defendant Colms
12:42
who further reiterated and guaranteed
12:44
the above mentioned terms were accepted.
12:47
As a result, Mr. Jones began working on the album, 135.
12:52
As evidence, he was listed as a producer
12:55
for the following songs
12:56
on the love album, Final Release.
12:58
Deliver me, stay part one,
13:00
reach in, what's love,
13:01
stay a while, moments,
13:03
need somebody, homecoming,
13:06
136, Mr. Colms and Defendants,
13:11
benefited from Mr. Jones' work product,
13:15
They failed to compensate Mr. Jones for his work,
13:19
As a result, Mr. Colms and Defendant,
13:21
LR, MR, and UMG were all unjustly enriched
13:25
at Mr. Jones' expense.
13:27
139, according to Mr. Jones,
13:30
he attempted to work with Mr. Colms
13:32
to secure his publishing and royalty rights
13:34
for the work he completed on the love album.
13:37
Mr. Colms only offered Mr. Jones $29,000 for 13 months,
13:42
thousands hours of work,
13:43
and nine songs that made it to the love album.
13:46
Mr. Jones was willing to take 50,000,
13:49
his publishing and his royalties.
13:51
Mr. Colms' self-serving greed
13:53
would not allow him to pay Mr. Jones
13:55
an additional 21 grand, 140.
13:58
Mr. Colms' deceptive business practices
14:00
became so bad that Mr. Jones was left with no choice other
14:04
than to make a public plea on social media
14:06
for Mr. Colms to pay him for his work.
14:11
After publicly requesting that Mr. Colms
14:13
do the right thing and pay him fairly, Mr. Jones
14:16
received an onslaught of threatening messages
14:18
from Stevie J and Love Records, A&R, the Forest Taylor.
14:23
