Leaked audio has surfaced, revealing a heated exchange between renowned music executive John Monopoly and Joseph “JB” Bowden, following an unsettling incident of alleged stalking. According to the recording, Bowden was caught photographing Monopoly and his wife at The Waldorf Astoria hotel and sending the image to an unidentified recipient for undisclosed reasons.
The conversation begins with Monopoly addressing Bowden’s actions, expressing a deep sense of betrayal. He recalls a previous instance in which Bowden excluded him from a major business deal—an offense he had once chosen to forgive. Monopoly underscores their long-standing personal and professional relationship, reminding Bowden of the trust he had extended by inviting him to his wedding, family gatherings, and pivotal moments in his career.
“JB, after all the support I’ve given you—you met my grandmother, you were at my wedding—and this is how you repay me? Stalking me and my wife? Taking photos of us at The Waldorf and sharing them? Don’t f*cking play with me,” Monopoly declares, his voice laced with frustration and disappointment.
Throughout the call, Monopoly presses Bowden for an explanation, but Bowden offers little insight into his motives. The conversation ends with Monopoly suggesting an in-person meeting to address the issue, even providing his address—though it is muted in the leaked recording.
This controversy adds to Bowden’s mounting legal troubles. He is already entangled in a lawsuit with rapper G Herbo, who accuses him of financial mismanagement and is seeking $40 million in damages.
The leaked audio has sent ripples through the music industry, with many rallying behind Monopoly and condemning Bowden’s actions. As speculation swirls, questions remain about Bowden’s intent and the broader implications of his behavior.
For now, the focus remains on accountability, as Monopoly’s measured but firm response highlights the seriousness of the situation and the breach of trust at its core.
