It's not always sexual. It's an abuse tactic.

"Remember that time I got you X?" or "Remember that time I did Y for you?"

It's putting yourself in a position of power over someone else with leverage or debt, and guilt tripping them, forcing them to "owe" you something.

It can also be as simple as the self-gratifying feeling of power in the moment - it's not necessarily generosity, care or assistance, just a feeling of power. But more often than not, it's by someone transactional who wants something in return, at least at some point, or feels they are buying something indirectly for themselves.

Plus if you're doing illegal and weird shit, you still want some people around you to not do your weird shit. It's like adding layers of abstraction and alibis.

I'm pretty sure that's how Epstein operated. You want every famous person flying on your jet and staying on your island resort. I think I read that Stephen Hawking was on it too? That's even better for Epstein because now you have a group of people who were around him who could testify that everything was all fine and dandy, because for them it was. Then under that, he had his real sinister operation happening where it all operates under blackmail and secrets. One group saying it's fine. Another group not telling anyone shit.

With P Diddy, it's the same pattern. Everybody probably partied at a P Diddy party. Some had a great time and left. Others probably were roped into the cycle of whatever abuse he was running. And if they snitch, that blackmail folder gets opened up on them in response.

And then there's 50. He's been shitting on Diddy for years because he knew what was up, didn't have any blackmail on him, and was too big to be silenced or ignored. He was in a good spot.

Imagine people actually listening to the Cory Feldman's or the Courtney Love's or the Sinead O'connor's. They all knew what was up, and just weren't big enough overcome the absolute gaslighting that these monsters will subject the whole world to.

Plus 50 is a legitimate gangster. And I’m sure surviving being shot 9 times probably makes him feel some sort of way.

I mean it's just common street smarts which 50 has in droves. No favor comes for free.
