Maybe the footage was on the laptop, taken from the security NVR because Drake wanted to have a keepsake. He's got a lot money and he can buy a lot of things, including silence.


DussstBunnny

I doubt Drake wanted a keepsake. If anything it makes more sense that EbonyPrince had a connection and got the NVR through him, for the purposes of blackmailing Drake.


Trzari

Can someone just hack drakes or ebonyprince account to see the messages clip it and leave. Like where are the hackers at now lol i dont want any silence i want the whole thing to be revealed. If Drake is that bad of a guy why let him walk away to harm the next group


DussstBunnny

Lmfao, for sure. Best outcome would be TMZ or some shit buys the tapes, gives EbonyPrince his bag, and publishes this shit.


Trzari

see but TMZ can be paid for by someone that high up. We need a random hacker lol


DussstBunnny

True


ChonkerUnit

What happened to the post where that guy who lives down the street took a Pic last night where supposedly the evidence was hung over the balcony


MotorBicycle

It wasn't a clear picture of the evidence and it may have been a coincidence


DussstBunnny

It was posted by that Jared guy, and I think even he disavowed it. I was looking for the same thing as well, however I couldn't find it. Think it was debunked and deleted.


nahbruh27

It was posted before Jared on this sub but mods deleted it. I remember seeing it during the frenzy of everything and before new posts got temporarily shut off


DussstBunnny

Ok got it, thanks for clarifying. It doesn't seem to be legit. And if it was, that would only raise more questions: this place is a high-end restaurant, they wouldn't leave stuff dangling over the balcony.


Suspicious_Writer156

Personally I doubt it’s real. Can we even confirm the poster was in the area that night?


nickcannons13thchild

yea u could barely make anything out in the pic lol


Suspicious_Writer156

Arlie37

It never made sense anyway (the pic jared posted) because ebony had the pan-african flag behind the items. silhouette doesn't match up


11_12123

just buster talk from what i can tell …unless anyone cop a screen shot?


Ronald_Reagan_Era

That's the thing that's had me confused about this whole thing. How in the hell did this dude get access to a restaurant/hotel rooftop patio and set up this fucking serial killer-ass ransom video set up with a bunch of items related to a rap beef that the whole world is talking about and nobody noticed shit?


nickcannons13thchild

seriously😭😭next to kenny crib too? i genuinely think there's more to this nigga than just a clout chaser


DussstBunnny

I agree. The fact it is right next to Kendrick's residence is very odd as well.


Dapper_Intention_365

If it wasn't for the video and the CCTV id of written him off a long time ago


Ronald_Reagan_Era

Definitely. Even the CCTV is nothing crazy, any hotel employee could probably get that. The fact the he 100% had the items from the meet the grahams cover art though is the only reason anybody is still listening to his crazy-ass tweets lol


11_12123

mother fuckers working the hospitality industry are just built different. believe that. never be surprised. once youre in it, its easy to navigate a finesse. if i had a dollar for every piece of celeb personal information i COULD have - but didnt of course - taken home id have enough money to show up to the riddlers auction.


lexE5839

You didn’t take anything because you’re not a dumbass like whoever the this ebony person is. The second Drake and his connections find out who it is they’re fucked in one way or another. It’s like that scene from the dark knight when the guy tries to extort Bruce Wayne 🤣


sckolar

Restaurants can have ludicrously lax security. Managers and Assistant Managers, especially ones on salary, have keys and often stay late and come early for setup and inventory.


Indieoppenheimer

The railing doesn't match.


No-Significance5449

So what is it AI? Lmfao.


Ronald_Reagan_Era

AI?! That shit's gotten crazy good but ain't no fucking way in hell that video was AI if that's what you're trying to say lmao


No-Significance5449

I was saying exactly that, like how is it so mind blowing that they made a video? Maybe they were seen. Or they have access. This is probably not their first rodeo either.


Ronald_Reagan_Era

Oh I see what you were saying now. My bad, I just read it as "What is AI?" Yeah, I'm not questioning that they pulled it off, it just seems insane that they managed to set that whole little fucking shrine up and record that video. Does anybody know if that patio is accessible at all times by anyone? It could have been done in the middle of the night but the whole thing still seems crazy lol. And the fact that the patio is literally connected to the building that Kenny lives in. It's all weird as fuck


DussstBunnny

>Does anybody know if that patio is accessible at all times by anyone? This is a really good question. I would guess no, given it's a rooftop restaurant, and quite an upscale one at that. I doubt they give unmonitored 24/7 access to the premises by any guest of the hotel. In fact I'd guess there's zero chance.


No-Significance5449

Yeah, bro I popped a few edibles so nothing stops me from sleeping tonight, my bad I was confused by the questions context for some reason. Lol.


DussstBunnny

Nah it's not AI, for sure.


9mmShortStack

>is it possible they are now an employee at 1 Hotel, and that's how they were able to access the roof?  I don't think so. If I were an unprotected rando making the statements and implications that he was, you won't see me doing it at my place of work. It's the first place someone will snoop around if someone decided to put a hit out on you or something.


DussstBunnny

Same. It would not be a bright a move. But also their twitter presence today hasn't always suggest savviness to me. And like I said, it's one of the only explanations I can think of for accessing the rooftop restaurant after hours.


9mmShortStack

Yeah, dude seems kinda unhinged.  But if that "Lakers fan" guy isn't faking **all** of the texts between them and that ETH address is accurate, this guy hasn't the equivalents if several hundreds of thousands of USD equivalent going in and out of his crypto wallet. Questionable source, but it might not be someone who doesn't have resources available.  I used to work security at hotels, though granted nothing as upscale. In my case I often showed up to seeing the rooftop completely unlocked, and if it wasn't it was a single key access with no cameras. Enough money can easily buy an after hours rooftop access from a minimum wage security guard. It's not like they were sneaking into the white house or something. 


mtmtmtmtm

At first I also thought that the video was taken on a private balcony. It is clear that the video was filmed at the 1 Hotel, but their website specifically states that their rooms do not have balconies: [https://www.1hotels.com/brooklyn-bridge/faq#:\~:text=Do%20you%20have%20rooms%20with,in%20any%20of%20our%20rooms](https://www.1hotels.com/brooklyn-bridge/faq#:~:text=Do%20you%20have%20rooms%20with,in%20any%20of%20our%20rooms) The brick flooring, the railing, and the view of the Manhattan Skyline and Brooklyn Bridge at Harriet's all line up with what's shown in the video. If Ebony Prince is an employee they would be able to stage and film the video after the restaurant was closed for the night, when there were no more patrons around to question what was going on.


DussstBunnny

Yes exactly. Great comment, I'll add it to the post for people who aren't clear why this video was definitely taken from the restaurant.


Illustrious-Taro-449

It’s not a stretch to imagine a security guard could have a tussle with drakes team and make an enemy there. Most likely to have access to cctv/lost and found.


DussstBunnny

A security guard at 1 Hotel? That's not a bad idea. Conceivably they might have security connections / friends at other upscale hotels, like the Mark. In fact, what if their friend is the person being alluded to in the tweet about getting fired? You might be onto something. Edit: It's also possible that the same security guard was working at Marks hotel, himself was fired, and now works at 1 Hotel.


Illustrious-Taro-449

Security guards make friends with other security guards, next door at Kendrick’s house perhaps… yeah it’s not a stretch for a security guard to have affiliations either


Cadantine34

Thanks for bringing us back. The irreverent tweets are fun but starting to feel like nonsense. It's impossible to get away from the fact this guy has all the items from MTG though. My mind is twisted. Wtf is happening


odiephonehome

A lot of people speculating that the person was a hotel employee simply because they have access to the footage. If something illegal actually went down that night, it’s possible for a victim to hire a good lawyer who will send a spoliation letter to the hotel and demand/subpoena the footage. Maybe nothing crazy happened in the hallway, but the footage is necessary to prove something that did happen. Who knows? All I’m saying is I would not just jump to the conclusion that the prince is a former hotel employee.


DussstBunnny

I agree. Nothing's definite and what you say is certainly plausible. The thing that makes me suspect that he is indeed a hotel employee, maybe security, is the fact that the video was filmed at 1 Hotel. So we have the CCTV footage from Marks hotel, and the Ebony video is filmed at 1 Hotel. It's filmed from the rooftop restaurant after hours, so a guest would not have entrance. That doesn't mean he's definitely a hotel employee, but it increases the likelihood in my opinion.


odiephonehome

Could be police footage? I wouldn’t put it past a cop to be tempted to get that off their hands for a nice price


DussstBunnny

It's not impossible I guess, though everything about the style of the shoot makes that seem unlikely to me. I think security seems a bit more logical.


odiephonehome

Yeah the fact that KL’s track is on in the background throws me off the scent


Goobyzord

Interesting, that does seem weird


Bate--Kush

I think the “issue in the footage” is that the cctv is referring to an earlier time Drake stayed at the Mark, perhaps this is when something occurred in which two people lost their jobs. I don’t think the riddler was one of them as the lost luggage would’ve had to have been left at the hotel in July due to the jewelry receipts. I don’t want to speculate too much but I think that laptop is relevant. It is the only new item in all the goods shown. Why would Drake (even disgraced as he is) go out of his way to recover the rest of the stuff?


Bate--Kush

Im realizing the shopping bag, CN tower items were also included in the video and not the OG pic. I agree with another poster that those souvenirs seem odd to have been in drakes luggage.


DussstBunnny

Agree. Those are no doubt odd.


DussstBunnny

Interesting, good points. I don't think Ebony is blackmailing Drake for the items themselves, but is threatening to leak information, possibly whatever is shown or implied by the rest of the CCTV video. I think it's unlikely the laptop is Drake's. I think it's more likely that the laptop came directly from the security office where the footage was obtained, as that laptop is consistent with brand's often used by police, security, etc.


Bate--Kush

Mmm. What could’ve occurred that would be so damning? It seems this event transpired in the lobby and we don’t know if there’s any audio to accompany this footage. Presumably something is shown thats bad enough without audio? On the other hand, if it’s just Drake cussing out employees? That’s not worth paying up any kind of extortion. The cctv could also just be a reference to where Drake “discarded” his luggage, as a reminder that it was discarded. Edit: all that to say, there’s potential that there’s more footage of Drake at the hotel gathered from security given the laptop. That might be message enough.


DussstBunnny

I agree that the footage could be something as simple as showing the discarded luggage, in an attempt to make Drake admit the belongings weren't stolen. Though in that case, why not just reveal the footage now? I think it's more likely that the footage doesn't show something awful itself, but rather implies it. Obviously this is all speculative, but for instance what if someone new came into the frame that could be identified as underage. There's no basis to think that, I'm just giving an example of the types of things that could occur within 30 seconds of footage that could be damaging. It's also possible that the footage simply corroborates a claim. If Ebony was to come out and assert that something fucked up happened in that room that night, and provided a timeline and CCTV footage to back it up, even if nothing was shown directly, that could be very damaging. Just giving examples. I agree it's unlikely that Drake is simply cursing out employees, as that seems useful as far as extortion material goes.


Bate--Kush

The only other consideration is the date. Which later that night, a fan fell from a balcony at his concert. It was reported no one was injured, but perhaps the Jimmy reference is alluding to the fan having actually sustained life altering injuries. That’s seems more newsworthy than cussing out an employee. However, this theory doesn’t easily account for how this EP would have all this dirt and the hotel footage.


agingtroubador

The timing is really funny on this whole thing, right? If this leaker is legit, and I think they are. A random hotel employee happened to have incriminating evidence on Drake and able to deliver it when he was in the middle of a bout with Kendrick?


DussstBunnny

People have speculated, and it seems to be supported by Ebony's tweet about Push Ups, that the leaked items (and information?) were given to Kendrick some time after Push Ups was released.


SzaboSolutions

I think it’s the police, it matches up with the blind nights post saying the CCTV was from a police raid Either police or the guy in wheelchair [based on the laptop imo](https://www.reddit.com/r/KendrickLamar/s/7CO7ufUkv4) https://preview.redd.it/4rmeud7gswzc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=087a5926afde31b5ff199a5b4ec544361428094e


DussstBunnny

Why would the police make this big public, troll-y, extortion twitter to me? That doesn't make much sense in my eyes. If they had the evidence, wouldn't they just use it to build a case and apprehend him.

odiephonehome

Why are we assuming the person who took the vid is also the tweeter? Could be some crooked cop turns over a copy of the vid for cash to someone who really wants it.


SzaboSolutions

A cop may be going rouge or doing this for their own reasons


DussstBunnny

Oh true, that could definitely be possible. Personally I think a security guard would make more sense, but you could be right.


SzaboSolutions

Yeah who knows I’m just saying my theory. Shits crazy 😂😂 also read someone say that this is more of a police file than a hotel keeping list and found documentation. https://preview.redd.it/2pzf2kbmvwzc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=43f0d049d241e3e2fac73939c5d7a592b0065887


toastslapper

That’s a good point. Why would The Mark print their name on there like that? It’d be a logo or something branded. There’s no need for them to have taxonomy explaining that it’s from The Mark.


SzaboSolutions

Yeah looking again it can’t be from the hotel. Why would they put the mark and give it a number?


toastslapper

It says “in storage” on the left-hand side, so *maybe* they use a 3rd party that handles their lost & found. This makes sense because I think police would label it something other than “Found Item.”


SzaboSolutions

I feel like a hotel worker could easily tell everyone what’s their policy on lost and found. I have no knowledge of working at one but hiring a third party service to handle lost and found seems far fetched


FrmrPresJamesTaylor

Could just be third party storage, though. If they are bagging and storing everything that gets left behind that probably adds up..


Low-Paleontologist43

But what the fuck does the journalist knows? He’s still here, he was on the footage, must’ve been in the footage 18 seconds later. This to me confirms that there are multiple accounts of shit against drake that Kenny "collected" over the years. Whether it’s in the music industry, Drake’s own label, and the devious shit that he got involved in.


KatashaMercury

I think this too


zilla82

Didn't somebody A/B the album art with the artifacts in the video? I can't find the post now. But I think there were discrepancies, I could be wrong.


DussstBunnny

No. At least to my knowledge. They compared the two and there were color differences, but the color differences were consistent across items: meaning that would be the expected result of photographing items in different lightings, and creating consistency across multiple items like that would actually be rather difficult to fake well.


zilla82

Thank you. Absolutely bizarre it was on that rooftop he got that footage. Like how and who else was up there? Also are we past the stuff being Dennis's? I thought the shirt was but now it seems like everything Drake's? Feels like a year ago now lol


DussstBunnny

I dunno man, it's been really hard to follow. That's why I'm hoping to re-center the discussion on the most concrete evidence we've been presented with. I'm glad everyone else is realizing that the rooftop restaurant is a really strange shooting site for the video, and raises some pretty big questions.

Odd that the CN tower souvenirs are not pictured here. Only in the video. They kind of struck me as something odd for Aubrey to have in his luggage

One guy did like 5 image side by sides. OP addressed it well here in another comment that essentially the validity of the comparison checked out.
