Welcome to Carefully Reckless, the production of Our Heart Radio and the Black Effect. A nice little aspect, steel aspect, nice little still, and just like that, we're back with yet another Carefully Reckless episode. Listen, I want to be very serious today. There will be no story time because this is a very serious matter that I feel like hit the airways, you know, last week or not even last week, a few days ago, and it hasn't been talked about enough. It was just swept under the rug.

And you know, given how times are today, a lot of things are really swept under the rug. You know, with time, if you don't pay attention to it, it goes away. But this cannot go away. Lives were taken, lives are in critical condition, lives are slowly slipping away. People are brain dead behind this event, so you probably already figured it out. Astro World, Travis Scott had a concert a couple of days ago and for lots and lots of people, the fund turned into a tragedy very quickly.

So apparently there were people passing out, going into cardiac arrest seizures. People actually died. Now, a number of eight people died that night on the spot because it it just turned into a stampede and turned into you know, pandemonium everywhere. Apparently people were being stuck with needles filled with fitting all. Now we know that ship has been

killing people, that fence ship has been out here. Okay, And while I think it's something bigger than just some drug dealers who actually got their hands on this ship, I'm gonna I'm gonna save that for a little bit later. Guys, they were having fun. Travis was performing, He actually was having fun on stage, and apparently he's seen people passing out, he's seen the people doing the ship, he's seen ship that was going on, and his words were, let's turn

this bitch up. I don't know if he was able to decipher the fun and all the jumping around that they do at his concerts anyway from people being fucked up from being stuck with these needles. And I'm not going to put that on him at all. That's not

what I'm saying at all. But when you noticed that it went from like a rave to like everybody trying to run for their fucking lives, you should have stopped at the fucking concert and and really really paid attention to what the fun was going on, you know what I mean, like honestly, because they said over a hundred people were stuck with this ship. Right, needles, people with

needles just going around sticking sticking you. You understand what I'm saying, and imagine just having fun and then out of nowhere, you feel a pinch, people sticking you, a person stuck you with a fucking neil. You don't know what it is, and you immediately go into cardiac arrest. Right. And the victims that died were actually babies. I'm talking about fifteen, fourteen sixteen. These were babies, you know, their little systems couldn't take this ship. It saddens me that

you can't even go somewhere and have fun. You can't even live your fucking life and go and fucking have fun. I remember going to concerts and not having to worry about ship like this, not having to worry about being killed or being attacked or being shot up or you know, being injured, being purposely hurt. It's a sad, sad world

that we live in, you know. And then Travis gets online and he makes a video about the ship where it looked like he really really tried his best to cry and to you know, you know, and people handle it different ways. Let me just say that, but in that deo, yes, it looked like he tried his best to cry but he couldn't. He looked like he tried his best to be sad and to really feel. I mean, I'm I'm honestly just devastated and I could never imagine

anything like this just happening. I'm gonna do everything I can and keep you guys updated informed on what's going on. Um. Remember when Cardi B or somebody like that one over him. They and he really knew that. He just knew he was gonna win a Grammy. I felt like he cried and showed more emotion over that than he did over these people dying at his concert. Now, let's just dig a little bit more deep into it for that to happen.

First of all, to get your hands on a chemical like fitting all, yeah, you have to be highly classified. You understand what I'm saying. Scientists deal with fitting on large amounts of it and die just inhaling fitting all, pure fitting all. You can definitely die. Do your research on it for other people. UM, if you do not believe me, yes, that ship kills you within seconds and minutes of breathing. You understand what I'm saying to you.

People are still in the hospital, fighting for their lives, fighting for their fucking lives, and all they wanted to do was go celebrate their favorite artists or one of their biggest artists. You know, Travis Scott is a big deal out this motherfucker. He has a lot of fans in all age groups, but mainly kids. It was a lot of young people, a lot of babies. Not that it would have been any better if they were all old or whatever, but these were babies that died from

this ship, and it's bigger. It's bigger. I feel like, honestly, somebody was paid to do that ship. I feel like it's a government thing. Yes I do. I feel like there is a higher up who actually pay people to do this ship. And also, furthermore, because I'm gonna take it a step further, this is carefully reckless, and listen, I'm gonna be carefully reckless with it. I also feel like a lot of blogs were paid to not make

it a big fucking deal either. But people died. Okay, Okay, people fucking died, so it's a big deal to not be able to go and live your life because you have to worry about if it's gonna be your last night living. It's horrible. It makes you not even want to go out. You understand what I'm saying. We are still in a pandemic. People are just trying to get their lives back together from that. And then now we can have events, and now we can go do ship like,

go to festivals and enjoy our our favorite artists. Then ship again, and then ship like this happens. So now we have a pandemic. We have all all these fucking crisis killings. We have it. It's so much ship that we're five against as a human race. It's sickening. It's fucking sickening. You understand people dying left and right. I felt like I haven't encountered so much death in my whole life. And I live in Baltimore City, So that

says something. You know, I'm not proud of my city and in the high crime rate and the high murder rate, in the high overdose rate either, I'm not proud of that ship, but the amount of death that I have seen in my life just growing up in Baltimore don't even come close to the amount of death that I see now in my and my eldest years of living.

I'm a mom. I'm scared to death to even take my son to Disney World or Six Flagues or bush Gardens, Kings Domin and those type of fun, adventurous things created four children. I'm scared. I'm afraid like Disney or Nights are supposed to be coming here or some ship like that. I'm not taking my son to that ship. And that's something that me and his father has taken him to

every year. But now having to sit and explain to him why he can't go and why we can't take him to the Monster Truck show and ship like that, because it's not enough security in the world anymore. It's not enough organization in the world. It's no safety and it's like every man for himself. It's like we live in the middle of a fucking war zone. Is actually very sad. I was actually afraid to send my son back to school, not even because of COVID. There has

been a lot of school shootings. Y'all are previous to this ship. Y'all know about this ship even going to the movies, and the past year there have been over a hundred over a hundred movie theater shootings where people just get this courage or get fucked up or whatever

they hear these voices or whatever. You know, they like to diagnose these fucking little white kids when they shoot up schools and ship and stuf there just sending their stupid asses to jail or you know, giving them the death penalty the same way that they just took lives and ship. Instead of doing that, they just these kids get off scotch free. It's sad. It's sad as fuck.

You mean to tell me little billy can go get a fucking rightful, go to school, shoot up all his friends and will not be charged if he's proven insane. You got me fucked up. You got my whole race fucked up. Okay, it's really sad, but I need for you all to pay attention, wake up, like really, really really fucking wake up and pay attention and really ask yourself, why hasn't this been talked about, like everything else that they talked about some of the dumbest ship trends for weeks,

for days, I'm talking about days. Let's let's, for instance, let's hit on this Michael Myers being homophobic shiit that ship is still trending, but a people died hundred a hundred people were stuck with fitting on needles at a Travis Scott Astro World concert and it was only talked about for maybe four or thirty six hours, and it really wasn't even in depth of a conversation. It wasn't

even an in depth post at all at all. If you go and search right now I'm talking about and there are videos on TikTok on TikTok, because y'all know, don't nothing, don't nothing gets taken it. Y'all know, nothing gets taken down off of line or whatever, and not

nothing nothing, especially not TikTok. They're not removing ship. There are hell of videos of footage from the concert where you can actually see people running and you can see people passing out, and you can see Travis Scott looking at all this ship too, you can see it and him saying, turn this bit up. You can actually see it. You can see it, you understand. And then to be attached to something like that, I wouldn't even want to be a performer anymore. I wouldn't even want to perform,

just to know not saying it's his fault. I'm just saying just to know that something like that could happen at one of my shows. Oh no, I'm doing virtual shows now. No, because the fact that has not talked about. Say he go do another concert somewhere right and the same ship happens again. Are we going to keep sweeping it under the rug? Are we? And then what is the whole agenda behind this? What is it? Is a

population control? Is it? What is it the government trying to send us another fucking message or what what other higher up? I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna keep saying the government, because that's what I feel is behind all this ship fitting on. It ain't just gonna keep on popping up and all these fucking drugs like this now drugs, all right, they're bad, yes, percocet, all that ship code or whatever, dope, all that ship. But that ship is now being cut with fitting all and and people are

dropping left and fucking right. Motherfucker's just want people to think, oh no, no, no no, you know he has some bad drugs. He just oh did on it? Na No, because one thing about the one thing about an addict. They know the ship that they're on and they know, especially if they've been doing it for a long time. We got addicts who who know drugs better than they know their fucking kids, better than they know they fucking kids. This ship is being administered by I think it's I'm telling you,

I think it's like higher ups. It's it's motherfucker's that we wouldn't even think. I'm telling about these mother fucking white people putting this ship out in the streets. And what I mean by white people is I mean the fucking gov. The Gov. I don't care. I don't care. It's no way you can just get your hands on large amounts of fitting off. It's putting the fucking hood. You know what I'm saying. If you love me, you'll listen to this commercial and then we'll be right back.

But it's way too much death. It's way too much killing. It's way too many lives that we're losing out here, you know, And quite frankly, I'm scared. I'm scared. I know y'all scared. And ship I'm talking about. I had tickets to go to the Millennium Tour, right I sold them. I sold them after I saw the Astro World concert. Now, I'm I'm gonna be real with y'all. I sold my tickets and I'm not gonna lie a love each and

every artist on the Millennium Tour. But that makes me afraid to go into any into any setting where I could potentially lose my life because people take advantage of large crowds now and like I said, there isn't enough security in this world for me anymore. It's a fucked up thing. It's sucked up. And I do a lot of theater shows. I do a lot of big casinos. I don't just do comedy clubs, now know which is you know which which? These clubs are usually more smaller

and more intimate. That's why I do multiple shows. Um But most of the time I do theater shows so I don't have to do eight in in in ten shows and six shows and ship like that. I don't have to overwork myself. When the city that I'm going to has a big theater, I can just book there and then we can do one or two shows. You know. But I'm even a little afraid of that ship. You know, I got shows coming up. I got Atlanta November nineteenth at Center Stage. That's like you know that's that's that's

a nice sized venue. You know, if security is not on their job, anybody can just walk up in there. Shoot you, kill you whatever. She's the person on stage me shoot my fucking audience. You. I have another big show coming up in my very own city, November twenty six, Baltimore City. You know the Hippodrome Theater. That should is scary for New Year's which is a very big holiday

for everybody. New Year's that's when everybody is out. I gotta show with d Ray Davis, Little Devol and you know all of us, Michael Blacks and pretty v We all got a fucking show at the airby Crown Theater. That's a that's a big theater in Chicago. We're there two nights in a row. That ship is scary. Imagine that ship scary. You know what I mean. I literally said to myself and I'm gonna have a meeting with my agents. This maybe my last year touring for a

little bit, just until we get ship under wraps. Even if it ever gets under wraps, you know, you know, and they always say, oh, it gets worse before it gets better. I don't really see you better for our world right now, not for our people, not for our world, not for this pandemic we d not for the amount of killings that we're witnessing. I don't see a better you know. And people joke about going to other planets, but maybe getting off this motherfucker It may not be

that bad, you know what I mean? Like, I just I can't. I can't. I'm scared every day and they still expect people like us to just live our lives and not feel no type of way. I still want to know why this has not been talked about? What is going on? Who are they paying? Who was paid to shut the funk up and just turn a blind eye to eight lives being lost for no reason? What was the reason behind sticking motherfucker's Like, what was it? Was it gang initiation? Was it? Illuminati ship going on?

Was it? You know, like, fucking what was it? What was it? And then right before I sat down into this episode, I read Travis Scott allegedly plans to issue refunds to all the astral World Festival attendees, you know what I'm saying. And he also canceled Day in Vegas headline performance. You know, he he did cancel that, but you can't refund lives, not and I'm not specifically talking to him. I'm just saying you can't refund lives, not him, period.

I'm talking in general. You can't. And then you have things like lawsuits by the families that has been filed, you know, against Travis, Scott Drake and Live Nation, you know, following the astral World festival, you know, and they had to see this ship coming. Nobody is speaking up about this ship. Nobody. Nobody has made a statement. No, you know, except Travis, but nobody, nothing, nobody from Live Nation. I don't really think Drake got anything to do with this ship.

My man was on stage for maybe what ten minutes and and that was that. But I guess they want to hold everybody accountable because nobody has taking accountability. Nobody is actually coming out saying, uh listen, um, you know, and it's not like somebody can actually take the blame. But it's just not enough. It's it's it's not enough. It's not it's no remorse at the end of the day. That's what I'm looking for. It's like, there's no fucking remorse.

These people died and it's like, all right now, what next, Like, what the funk that ship is? It's it's it's it's pissing me off, and it's getting me very fucking angry, and it's getting me very emotional even doing this. You know, it's like it's fucked up because at the end of the day, there is no one to blame for this ship. The artists can't be held responsible, the fucking promoters, and so who do who do you blame? Security? The ship was basically outside. It was like it was a festival.

It was outside. Now, Kylie did post something, you know, she said, Travis and I are broken and devastated. My thoughts and prayers are with all who lost their families and all who lost their lives, and we're injured or affected in any way by yesterday's events, and also for Travis, who I know cares deeply for his fans in the Houston community. I want to make it clear we weren't aware of any fatalities until the news came out after the show, and in no world would have continued filming

or performing. I am sending my deepest condolences to all the families during this difficult time, and we'll be praying for the healing of everyone who has been impacted. I thank you for that, Kylie, We thank you. And then you know, he did his video and ship. But there was literally only one celebrity that I saw. I'm not saying there were no others or no other people. We don't even have to be celebrities. It gonna be anybody,

but it was. It was only one celebrity that I saw who actually offered financial help to the families, you know, who lost the loved one, and that was already rich, you know, so big shoutouts to him. He had posted, please have the families of those who we lost yesterday reach out to um and then he tax someone I guess that's maybe his publicists, and he said, I'll be donating my net compensation to the families of this incident. Pray for Houston, and so, you know, I just pray

for them, Pray for the families. People always question God when these type of things happen and all that, and and that's just what it is, you know what I mean. There is evil, you know, there is evil. Where there is God, there is devil. You know, even though we don't give him credit for anything, and we don't worship the devil. He is very real and you cannot ignore

him like he's not. So I just want to put that bug in y'all air and just um close out and just say, I hope everybody who was deeply affected by this, and people who who don't even have family in Houston. I know that y'all are affected as well. If you have a heart, this this story touches you and it hurts you, know what I'm saying. So I want to say I do love everybody, and I pray, I pray that everybody has just taking safety measures everywhere they go. Just move carefully. Um, if you can stay

home from like big, huge events like that, do it. Um. I know the artists are feeling this way as well. Like I said, this ship has to affect everybody. It has to. I don't know, you don't have a heart if it doesn't. Another tragedy Alec Baldwin, Now he's an actor, a list actor, y'all. Y'all know him from movies. I'm talking about shows. Uh, y'all may know him specifically for his SNL skit where he did an impersonation of Donald Trump. Now, this man cannot stand Donald Trump, and Donald Trump can't

stand this man, but he does not like him. He does not like Donald Trump. Now. He was on set a few weeks ago. They were shooting a movie. In the scene he was supposed to shoot the other actor that was supposed to be the scene in the movie. Somebody handed him a loaded gun and they said action, and the scene went on and he shot her and she died. In real life, Helena Hutchins the the lady who was shot and killed. She was a cinematographer. She was shot and killed on set. He did not mean

to kill her. He didn't mean to kill her, but she fucking died right now. That's happened before, but it was like a suicide thing. They killed theirselfs not on purpose, obviously, but that's why they have protocol, that's why they have safety measures, that's why they have like a prop manager for ship like that. So that's what the funk they need to look into. Because I believe, honestly that man was set up. I believe he was set up, and

I believe someone was paid to do that. So I I really feel like it's gonna be long and drawn out, yes, but I don't think he's going to go to jail if they can prove that he was set up, because honestly, yo, I don't think he did it. It's not about what I think. It's about what you can prove in court though, And I really, really, really prayerfully I hope this man gets off of this ship Alec bought when y'all gonna look that up. So I'm just gonna end it on

this note. Um, keep the families of those who have died, the families and your prayers. Keep the families of everyone who was even injured or fucked up in any type of way by this ship man. Like seriously, even the people who weren't I know they were scared as hell. The people who were blessed and you know, lucky enough

to not even get stuck with a needle. I know this was a life changer and eye open up for them as well, and even for Travis, even for everybody involved, all the other artists who was involved in the Astra World festival as well. I keep them in my prayers

as well. This is a very traumatizing moment. I also want to keep Alec Baldwin and my prayers his wife, the family of the late Helena Hutchins, keep her family in your prayers as well, and I keep y'all in my prayers, and y'all keep me and y'all's I love y'all so much.
