for those that missed the whole stream-
-adin flew across the country for the stream in the midst of a family situation after carti and his team agree to everything over the phone
-adin takes a huge risk by having his boss offer carti 2 million in cash, a new ferrari, and a very large streaming deal($20M to $30M) to do the interview
-carti and his team randomly dip after arriving several hours late and sitting outside for 30 minutes
-adin goes on a rant and his manager convinces them to come back
-carti, blackhaine, and sexisdeath finally walk in and dance to 4 songs and stand there awkwardly with adin for 10 minutes
-carti tells the stream his new album is his best work and “mind blowing”
-carti and his team walk out and leave less than 5 minutes later
-adin cancels the jet he sent to take carti home(which was only meant to be provided to carti if he went through with the full stream), cartis manager gets pissed and comes back and gets in an argument with adins manager even though carti is the one who decided not to go through with the stream
whole situation is a complete shitshow and the fact that even soulja boy called to check on adin when carti left shows that this shit messed up
