P Diddy’s son walked up to a 20-year-old girl at 7 a.m., handed her white slippers, and told her she’d been chosen to enter the house. Inside, every room had people having sex. Naked bodies in the pool. Waitresses pushing drinks no one asked for. Her phone was locked in a sealed case. There were no cameras, no evidence, and no way out she could see. She told this story two years before the FBI kicked down his door.
Her name has never been public. She’s a singer from South Central who was flown to Miami by an Arabian Prince who kept promising to introduce her to a producer who would change her life. The producer was P Diddy. The introduction was a freak off.
In the video below she describes what she saw inside that mansion the way a soldier would describe a mission that went wrong. No drama. Just coordinates.
Security patted them down at the door. Phones went into bubble cases that couldn’t open until you left. His son hand-picked who got the white slippers. That was the entry pass. Not everyone got one.
Inside, house music so loud it made her dizzy. Every corner had something happening. People passed out. People on drugs. People having sex in the open at sunrise.
P Diddy pushed his own girlfriend away mid-sentence to keep talking to her. She says she heard him tell someone: “That’s the one I want.” A famous rapper started groping her without asking. Waitresses kept circling. “Take a drink. Take a drink.”
She didn’t take one.
“I felt like the prince brought me there to be sold.”
She walked out, got her phone unlocked, called a taxi, and flew home that night. She never made music again.
December 2022, she told this story on camera. Nobody believed her. Two years later, the FBI raided P Diddy’s house and the world found out what those parties really were.
Was she the one who escaped, or just the one nobody came looking for?
Michael Jordan signed with Nike in 1984 for about $500,000 a year, plus royalties. Last fiscal year, the Jordan Brand sold $7.03 billion.
The man who signed him says the idea that changed the deal came from Jordan’s mother.
In the video below, Sonny Vaccaro tells Rich Eisen how it came together.
Jordan was not on his A-list that day. Vaccaro had seen him play once, when North Carolina beat Georgetown, and never again until Jordan turned pro.
Eisen asks whether owning a piece of the company was Deloris Jordan’s idea. Vaccaro says it was.
He says he had already promised Michael a piece of the shoe. Then Deloris asked for more, and he and Phil Knight said yes.
Vaccaro says Jordan saved the company. “I don’t know if there’s a Nike today,” he adds. Nike would have been another Reebok or another Puma.
Forbes estimates Nike now pays Jordan nearly $300 million a year. His NBA salaries over his whole career added up to about $90 million.
The case for Vaccaro: he talked Nike into betting its marketing budget on one unproven rookie instead of several players.
So who deserves more credit for the deal: Vaccaro, who bet the budget, or Deloris Jordan, who asked for a piece?
UNC freshman big man Sayon Keita has had some real moments in this first half against Indiana. Coast-to-coast for an off-hand layup is good stuff. Also multiple blocked shots.
Couple defensive hiccups too, but that’s to be expected for a freshman. Tools are obvious.
