Speaker 4: Wo woo.
Speaker 2: Looks like Chili just stepped into the diddy drama and
she's not coming empty handed. Word in the streets is
that she's got some serious receipts, linking ditty to the
tragic death of her former TLC group. Make Lisa left
eye Lopez now before you roll your eyes at another
wild internet theory. This one's hitting different. It's not just
the usual online noise because it looks like there's some
real weight behind it. Ever noticed how a handful of
high profile deaths from the early two thousands seemed to
circle back to Ditty or the people around him. It's eerie,
and if there's one thing we've learned about the entertainment industry,
it's that coincidence is rarely just that. Rumor has it
that anyone who had dirt on those infamous Diddy parties,
Left Eye, Aliyah, and Kim Porter ended up gone before
they could speak out. Now that Ditty's finally behind bars,
some folks think the truth is starting to bubble up.
So could there be more to Left Eyes passing than
we were told? Is there a head and thread connecting
her to Diddy that we all miss? Let's dig in
and unpack everything. It's been over twenty years since Lisa
Left Eye Lopez passed away before a lot of fans
and even some folks in the industry. Her death still
doesn't sit right. There are just too many strange details
that never quite made sense. One thing that has raised
eyebrows is the tension she reportedly had with some big
name exacts at the time, especially one thing about Clive.
His name always seems to pop up when there's some
mess behind the scenes, and let's be real, if Clive's involved,
it's only a matter of time before Diddy's name gets
tossed into the mix too. Some of the internet's deep
dive detectives believe it wasn't Clive who had the real
issue with Lisa, it was Diddy. The theory is that
he may have used his relationship with Clive to handle
things quietly and permanently. To put it in context, TLC
was signed to La Face Records back in nineteen ninety one.
That label was a joint effort between Babyface, La Red
and through a Risk of Record, So even if it
wasn't front and center, he still had his hands in
the pot when it came to TLC's projects and their
overall direction. And if you connect the dots, some folks
think this might explain why Lisa's story still feels unfinished.
Speaker 3: And we did have a moment, But you gotta keep
in mind it's hard to tell every little detail, you know,
I mean, so much went on within all those years,
and we tried to put as much as we could
then two and a half hours, I mean, they put
the arist apart in there, but you know it, it
needed to stay clean as well, but we didn't pull
it out on Clive actually right. Basically, seventy five million
dollars were gener was generated on that album. We didn't
really get any so we wanted to know where the
money is was at rather and La said it was
at Aristo Sole. That's where we went TLC and company.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so how was the gun involved in this story?
Speaker 3: Somebody may have had one outside somewhere, you know, but
nobody pulled it out on nobody. They just was ordered
to take down everything that said TLC.
Speaker 5: It.
Speaker 1: What was Clive's reaction tall though actually it was squashed.
Speaker 3: Nobody got in trouble. We actually got some money after that.
Speaker 2: The problem with the whole setup was that it worked
out great for the label and the execs, but not
for the girls of TLC. At the head of their fame,
they were one of the biggest girl groups in the world.
Hit after hit, Everything they dropped was a success, but
behind the scenes things weren't nearly as glamorous. They had
signed their deal when they were still really young and
didn't fully understand how the industry works, and that lack
of experience cost them big time. While everyone else was
cashing in on their success, the group was barely seeing
a dime. It got so bad that they eventually had
to file for bankruptcy even while topping the charts. That's
how deep the exploitation ran. After dropping their first two albums,
TLC should have been rolling in money. Both records were
massive hits, both critically and commercially. Their debut Oh On
the TLC Tip sold over four million copies in the
US and gave them three top ten singles right out
the gate. Then came Crazy Sexy Cool, and that album
took things to a whole new level. It wasn't just
a fan favorite. Rolling Stone even listed among the five
hundred greatest albums of all time. It sold seven point
seven million copies in the US alone and racked up
over fourteen million globally. By nineteen ninety six, they were
Grammy winners too. They took home two awards for Best
R and B Album and Best R and B Performance
by a Duo or Group for Creek. On paper, they
were at the top of their game, right there with
the industry's elite. But despite all that success, when they
sat down for a press conference later on, they shocked
everyone by revealing that they were flat out broke, all
the fame, all the accolades, yet their bank accounts didn't
reflect any of it.
Speaker 4: Trust me, you can sell ten million the opposite and
be broke if you have threedy people behind you. All right,
this is how a group can sell ten million records
and be broke, And everyone get ready to do your map.
Speaker 3: When we first started out, we were kind of cocky.
Speaker 4: Okay, there are one hundred points on an album.
Speaker 3: TLC had seven.
Speaker 4: Every point is equal to eight cents, all right, seven
times eight fifty six cents.
Speaker 3: But as time went on we learned a lot.
Speaker 4: That means every time an album gets sold, TLC gets
fifty six cents. So ten million records five point six
million dollars seems like a lot of money.
Speaker 5: Well, it's not a lot of money.
Speaker 4: When the record company has spent three million dollars to
record your album, and in the record your business, we
pay all costs back to the record company. We paid
recording costs, video costs, So now we have two point
six million dollars left. Well, guess what, when you have
that much money, you're in about the forty seven, forty eight,
forty nine percent tax bracket, So that immediately gets deducted
to one point three million dollars.
Speaker 3: Then you split the rest three ways.
Speaker 4: You got about three hundred thousand dollars apiece. If that much, Okay,
three hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: I can buy a nice house with that, And what
am I gonna pay my bills with?
Speaker 2: What made the situation even more frustrating was that the
girls had actually hoped things would improve once they moved
to the Fates. Their last label had already been taking
advantage of them, so they were expecting a fresh start,
But somehow things ended up feeling even worse when it
became clear that the higher ups had no intention of
stepping in or fixing the problem. The group decided that
enough was enough. They took matters into their own hands
and showed up at his office an announced, ready to
confront him directly.
Speaker 3: This is what we talked about before. Why did TLC
hold Ariston hostage? The record the record company? We held
them hostage, like the whole shebang? Yeah, yeah, it was
like that.
Speaker 2: Chili later revealed that Clive wasn't exactly thrilled when they
popped up uninvited to question him about their money. Allegedly
did he ended up snitching on them, and once Clive
told him how annoyed he was by the whole thing,
did he took it personally. Some folks believe he made
it his mission to punish them for roughling feathers with
the man who basically kept him in power.
Speaker 3: BOC had generated on crazy Sexy cous seventy five million
dollars and they gave us fifty.
Speaker 2: Thousand a piece.
Speaker 3: I was like, what the hell. So of course Lisa
was the ring leader, like.
Speaker 5: We need to gonna get our money.
Speaker 3: I don't even know where my ms and money is that,
so you know, she was locked up in the diversion
center for burning down the house, and she was just like, okay,
we're gonna get the face. And then girls I was
locked up with, we're gonna drive up there. We're gonna
take the gun. And then we had this limbl drivers
out of jail. Yes, okay, okay, we I'm a driver
and he was the getaway car. So we went up
there and held everybody hostage. And Puffy was the one
that snitched us out. Y'all, be yoll your girls up here,
mat buggin y'all. And I was like, oh, Puff, why
are you gonna snitch us out though, but he called
it yeah, because we kicked him out of the meeting.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, Since Lisa was seen as the one
leading the charge, did he allegedly focus all his anger
on her? That's likely what sparked the rumors that he
had something to do with the tragic accident that took
her life.
Speaker 5: It was room we interrupted Puffy's meeting, you know, and
he was having a meeting and Puff was like, I
was like, I'm sorry, but we really got to handle
this dog. We need know this money had, you know,
because we were getting sick and sweating, and you know,
we was like really working hard for this money, and
we wanted to know who the hell had our check?
Speaker 3: Who had it? La said, Claude did. So that's where
we went, well, do we still have it all on'?
Got it?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 1: Not?
Speaker 3: You know? Right now?
Speaker 2: What makes things even more suspicious is how unusual the
circumstances were leading up to Lefti's death. She was in
Honduras at the time, standing at a retreat run by
the well known and controversial doctor Sebbe.
Speaker 3: I watched him and he was chilling. I like something.
Speaker 4: Now, y'all understand that animals and stuff. They react off
with instinct.
Speaker 1: That means if you get.
Speaker 4: Nervous, they get nervous. You start doing all of this,
then all of a sudden they started getting defensive, and
then that's when they want to stand You. If you
leave your door open by accident and the mosquito gets
in your room, your whole night nine times out of
ten is gonna be ruined unless you hunt that mosquito down.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: There have been whispers that doctor Sebbe was a target
of big pharma because of his bold claims like being
able to cure any illness with natural herbs and insisting
that HIV wasn't the cause of AID. Some say there
was actually true to his treatments, which made him a
threat to major pharmaceutical companies that rely on selling expensive medication.
Lefty fully believed in his approach. While she was in Honduras,
she followed one of his herbal regiments and seemed to
be deeply invested in his healing method. Because of all this,
some people believe left ey death might have been connected
to her support of doctor Sebbi and his controversial methods,
But honestly, that's not even the most unsettling part of
her time in Condors. Right before the trip, she was
going through serious issues with her label. The tension had
gotten so bad that she ended up stepping away from
TLC to focus on her solo career. Then, in two
thousand and two, she made a bold move and cut
ties with Arista Records completely signing with should Knight's Death
Row Records Instead. Left Eye joined Death Row.
Speaker 1: Do you guys know the story behind that?
Speaker 3: No, I really don't. I just know she wanted to
do a different type of rap music and then that's
the place that she ended up going.
Speaker 4: I didn't really question it.
Speaker 2: Were you guys still working together at the time.
Speaker 3: Always, yeah, always, We never broke up, and you know
all of us have done individual projects on our time off.
Speaker 2: And of course we all know about that long standing
feud between Diddy and should Knight. You know, the same
beat that played a major role in the depths of
both Tupac and Biggie. So when left I decided to
sign with Death Row, it probably only added fuel to
the fire and gave Diddy yet another reason to see
her as a threat. On April twenty fifth, two thousand
and two, Lisa was driving a rented SUV with her
crew in the car when tragedy struck. She reportedly lost
control of the vehicle while trying to avoid a truck
that suddenly stopped in front of her, while another car
was coming toward her from the opposite direction. But here's
what always seemed off. The road was basically empty, So
why would a truck just stop out of nowhere like that,
and why was another car heading straight for her at
the same time. Some believe it wasn't a coincidence at all.
There are theories that the truck and the car were
intentionally placed there to force her off the road, and
that's not the only strange car. The crash footage shows
that Lisa wasn't wearing a seatbelt, which caused her to
be thrown from the car during the accident. That's ultimately
what led to her death. The autopsy also revealed that
left I was not under the influence. There were no
in her system or anything else that could have caused
her to act irrationally. Obviously, in the heat of the moment,
she could have made a mistake or miscalculated, but it
didn't explain why the accident was so tragic and why
she was the only one who passed away. There have
been plenty of rumors floating around that Diddy might have
played a role in Lefty's death, mainly because she allegedly
knew way too much about his FO parties and was
threatening to expose everything. But that's not all, because there's
also the Tupac connection. Left Eye was really close to Tupac,
so close in fact, that people constantly assumed that they
were more than just friends. Therebond even calls tension and
her relationship with Andre Risen since he didn't like how
tight she and Tupac were. All of this has led
to another theory that Left Eye knew way too much
about Diddy and all the shady stuff he was involved
in back then. Don't forget Diddy's name has come up
more than once in connection with Tupac's death too. This
is a mess, but it's about to get even messier
because the streets are saying that Usher was allegedly in
on a plot as well. Now we don't know how
deep Usher was in on the Left Eye issue, but
fans have connected Usher to some creepy Diddy situation. We're
not even going to get into the mess that was
puffy flavored can. Instead, we're going to talk about the
claims from some of Diddy's alleged victims about how Usher watched,
did he hurt them, but never did or said anything.
For example, Dawn Richard's court document said Combs hosted a
dinner at a West Hollywood, California restaurant which Miss Richard
and Miss Harper were required to attend. Among the guests
at the dinner were celebrities like Neo and Usher, as
well as mister Levine. At the dinner, mister Colmes and
Miss Ventura had an argument in front of the other guests.
Mister Colmbs hissed at Miss Ventura in a screaming whisper
and forcefully punched her in the stomach, causing her to
double over in visible pain, crying. Miss Clark escorted it
Miss Ventura out of the restaurant, and mister Colmbs remained
and continued socializing with the dinner guests. And given how
closely Diddy and Usher have been since the nineties, fans
are wondering if Usher knows more about Diddy than he's telling.
Fans are convinced that Usher could be the key to
taking Diddy down, and if the fans get Usher to
turn on Diddy and snitch. We're going to find out everything,
including allegedly what really happened between Diddy and Left Eye.
This is very disturbing, but y'all let me know what
you think in the comments, and then check out this
next video.
