(Lets hear it for all those murderers who is locked up because of crimes they committed!)
For one, he had a feeling it was a prank the moment the cameras starting rolling.
Youre introduced in the show as a nightclub promoter and DJ manager.
Ive also managed DJs, but for the most part, I manage hip-hop talent.
I own a couple of music festivals, too, like Trap Circus.
Sometimes I sign them to a label, or sometimes I keep them independent.
When I was a young promoter years ago I was trying to get advice on the internet.
I got one of the videos on WorldstarHipHop, which got hundreds of thousands of views.
What exactly did Showtime say when they contacted you?It was interesting and very funny.
They called me and said, Hey, we have this DJ and he has a really sad story.
Were behind him 100 percent.
I guess Ill give him a little kick-start.
When I met the guy, he was like a half-retarded Marilyn Manson whos also a sweetheart.
He was really nice.
I crack up every time I see the episode.
Are you ready to party?
Oh wow, really?Yes.
I laughed and went with it.
At first, I was laughing at what he was saying.
The director did a very good job at giving me those very nervous eyes.
I actually asked another camera guy a little time later, Hey dude, is this a prank show?
He looked at me very nervous and reiterated how I shouldnt offend anybody.
So I figured, okay, but in the back of my head I really thought something was off.
I didnt 100 percent know it was a prank show.
You know, I manage an artist called Lil Toenail.
Hes a gimmick rapper and a troll rapper.
He dresses up like a big foot, and has millions and millions of views on the internet.
I gotta support him.
Me calling his work a masterpiece?
Youre the best eater in the whole world!I was showing support and boosting his confidence.
Later, there was a segment that didnt air where he was showing me album covers.
It was really crazy pictures of him in Speedos and combat boots.
Let me give you some good advice!I wished they showed that, actually.
It was pretty funny.
He was wearing a sandwich outfit in one of them.
Was it always the plan to give him a nightclub debut?No, it wasnt.
I have a lot of resources in Miami.
Im the kind of guy who can put DJ Solitary in a nightclub full of people.
Hes like a big baby.
So I called a couple friends.
I let them know my trepidations.
Whatever bro, lets do it.Im a pretty respected guy in the scene.
He did actually get a lot of heat from his partners.
I felt a little bad for a little bit.
I threw DJ Solitary on last minute.
I didnt know what to expect.
I actually did feel,What the hell did I just do?Thats a big sound system.
To have somebody getting raped on the big sound system is a little crazy.
I hung out with Borat thinking it was an ambitious nut job@SachaBaronCohenu owe me a drink !
Your interview took place in Miami, but the nightclub segment took place in Fort Lauderdale.
If not, I wouldve done it at my nightclub.
What time did DJ Solitary go onstage and perform?He played during the peak time.
It was around 1:30 a.m.
He was up there for about three minutes, maybe four.
Yeah, that sounds right.
I liked how Showtime captured the one guy with the disgust on his face.
I saw many of those faces.
Were in a time in music where, to be honest with you, I really appreciate music.
Ive been a musician.
I dont think it can get crazier or more absurd than that.
I think Sacha is doing a great job at picking that character to push those kind of boundaries.
