FREEMASON IN DIDDY CASE, JUSTIN BIEBER JAY Z IN EPSTEIN FILES - COURTNEY BURGESS LIVE | AU 592

·1 hr 25 min·3 clips

I got arrested for kingpin and murder charges at an early age, but I had a solid alibi and good parents who got me bailed out in seven days.

Shaun Attwood hosts guest Courtney Burgess, a figure from the hip-hop scene with alleged ties to organized crime and the music industry. This episode explores Burgess's personal history, his father's Freemasonry, and his connection to the Sean "Diddy" Combs legal case. Burgess grew up in northern New Jersey alongside figures like Tupac Shakur, Wyclef Jean, and Redman, initially aspiring to a sports career before turning to music. He was arrested on a kingpin charge and for murder as a young man, though he claims he was at a Wendy's with a police officer at the time and was later acquitted. Burgess spent seven days in county jail, an experience he describes as more frightening than getting shot. His father was a high-ranking Freemason, which Burgess discovered around eighth grade after seeing Masonic symbols on his father's Rolls Royce. Burgess inherited his father's Masonic cane and an unopened, ornate book related to King Solomon's Temple, which he opened live on air for the first time. The book contains imagery of King Solomon's Temple and references to 72 demons, linking Solomon to occult and mystical traditions across religions. Burgess claims the symbol granted him respect, such as avoiding a tow truck, but he never formally joined the Freemasons despite wanting the status. He describes himself as a "made man" due to his proximity to both the New Jersey mob and the music industry, claiming he was the first black man accepted in certain mob circles. Burgess was involved with a viral book about Kim Porter, Diddy's former partner, which was pulled from Amazon before a three-way payout he connects symbolically to the Masonic number 33. He believes Jay-Z is a Freemason based on a specific handshake and alleges Diddy should have received more than a four-year sentence. The tone is a wide-ranging, conversational interview that blends personal storytelling with conspiracy-adjacent topics. Listeners interested in hip-hop lore, organized crime stories, and fringe theories about secret societies will find this engaging. Those seeking a focused, fact-checked narrative or who are uncomfortable with unverified claims may want to skip it.
