Everything we know about EbonyPrince2k24​



Ebony’s Identity​

EbonyPrince2k24 is likely a current employee at The Mark Hotel in NYC responsible for security. He is assumingly employed through a third party company that took over the hotel’s security department.
He is a member of the Ballroom House “Iconic House of Ebony”. Ballroom Houses are alternative families for queer folks (mostly gay men, drag queens and trans women). Ebony’s whole Riddler scheme seems to have been approved by the leaders of the House of Ebony.
Note: I have been provided definitive proof of Ebony’s identity. I will not share this information publicly and ask you not to either. Ebony could face serious legal and physical threats if his identity was revealed. Please refrain from messaging me in this regard.

The January 2023 Incident​

He seemingly witnessed an incident with Drake, Chubbs and Christopher Alvarez in January 2023 that got two of his hotel colleagues fired. According to one of Ebony’s tweets, Drake supposedly was rude to service providers during or in relation to the incident. Ebony claims to have CCTV footage of the incident and has since provided proof by filming the footage playing on his laptop.
Ebony describes some instances of Drake being rude to service providers:
  • pushing service providers out the way when they were trying to assist
  • banging a service provider in the head after mistaking them for a paparazzi
  • giving service providers wrong times and then complaining about preparation
Ebony addressing Drake on how working for him feels:
“You leave a wake of annoyance and stress in your path that makes most people's' skin crawl”

Christopher Alvarez’ Involvement
Christopher Alvarez is a freelance journalist, who is usually accompanied by a caretaker. It’s currently unclear whether the caretaker was with him that night.
Alvarez and Drake probably met the first time in June 2017. Alvarez still seems to be cool with Drake. He at least still has an IG story highlight dedicated to him. Alvarez also posted on IG the day after the alleged altercation on 22 January 2023. It’s therefore unclear whether Alvarez was a victim in the altercation.
However, on his most recent Instagram post, Alvarez liked two comments alluding to Ebony.
The two comments were:
norasafeee: “Who is officer Viola at the NYPD? Why do they know EbonyPrince?”

skylarrossfelton: “We support you. The truth will come to light soon.”

Alvarez also plans to publish an article in the Brooklyn Eagle today on 13 May 2023 at 5pm ET and go live at 6pm.

The July 2023 Incident​

The Weintraub Protests

When Drake returned to The Mark Hotel in July 2023, a 19-year-old led a protest and campaign against The Mark Hotel beginning in June 2023. Theodore Weintraub and his protestors alleged that the hotel served underaged teenswith alcohol during the pandemic, that there were prostitutesin the hotel and that The Mark was connected to Epstein.

The Mark filed a lawsuit against Weintraub on 27 July 2023. The lawsuit names multiple witnesses, among them police officers, hotel employees and security officers. The document further names a “VIP Guest #1” and “VIP Guest #2” who were not mentioned due to a protective order.

On 17 July 2023, a security officer reported that the protestors were refusing to move because they heard a VIP guest would be arriving soon. According to an NY Post article the protestors harassed Drake on his arrival that day. The protestestors also accused the hotel’s doorman of being a pedophile.

On 22 July 2023, Drake complained to hotel management about the protestors' comments. He wanted to know why they started to yell specifically when the he was leaving the building.

The Police Officers

Ebony was likely entrusted with Drake’s security during the protests. There was an incident seemingly involving an assault leading police being called.

Two of the NYPD Officers responding were Officer Nicholas Viola and Officer Jamal Wiltshire. Both officers are mentioned by Ebony and are also named as witnesses in a document filed on 10 May 2024 in the Weintraub lawsuit.

After the police were contacted by the complainant, Ebony himself may have became a suspect almost leading to his arrest. He was supposedly able to clear his name after showing the police CCTV footage.

The Caviar Kaspia

The incident may have taken place in a restaurant called “Caviar Kaspia” which is located in The Mark Hotel. Caviar Kaspia also offers private dining. They pride themselves with discretion.

Their CEO famously once said:

“What happens at Caviar Kaspia stays at Caviar Kaspia. [...] We never say no, or at least we always try to find a way to please the customer. […] There are many, many stories. If these walls could talk, they would have an endless amount of stories. Thank God they can’t.”

Ebony first posted a photo of the restaurant’s logo saying he would never forget it. He then alleged that something happened there on 27 July 2023. This would line up with Drake’s last show in New York at Madison Square Garden on 26 July 2023. Drake’s stay at the hotel began with his first show in New York on 17 July 2023 at Barclays Center.
 

How Ebony Got Drake’s Items​

Ebony likely got ahold of the items in the Meet the Grahams Cover at the end of Drake's stay in July 2023. All the prescriptions and receipts are also dated July 2023. Drake left the items in the hotel and they were probably kept in the storage for a limited time without Drake ever picking them up.

Ebony insinuates that a little bag and a big bag were left in Caviar Kaspia at The Mark on 27 July 2023.

According to Ebony, there are standardized procedures for lost items:

  • a pickup of the items or
  • a shipment of the items or
  • a disposal of the items if the owner isn’t available for arrangement of the other options.
Drake seemingly only arranged for the shipment of the little bag. The big bag with the respective items were deemed unimportant and were to be disposed according to Drake’s supposed instructions.

The items were kept by The Mark in a High Value safe for three months before the respective department’s Director called for their disposal. But Ebony assumingly took them instead.

Ebony calls "Lost and Found" a well known perk of hospitalityand says his closest colleagues knew the items were in his posession.

Ebony planned to auction the items off after Drakes death (or likely just later down the line) to make some money.

Ebony’s Possible Side Hustle

In a second video by Ebony, dated 13 May 2024, he claims that the items in his first video were not the only ones in his posession. He shows several jewelry items he refers to as “diamonds”. Most of them look like women’s jewelry so it’s unclear whether Ebony claims that the items belong to Drake.

Ebony adds, that Drake’s claim of his items being stolen introduced a dilemma to his “professional world”. This could allude to the fact that stolen items cannot auctioned.

But it could further allude to Ebony regularly selling items that were left at The Mark. If Ebony had a side hustle of selling celebrity items, it would come to a halt if he was publicly accused of theft.
 

How the Items got on Kendrick’s Cover​

Ebony claims to have heard "Meet the Grahams" on Monday, 6 May 2024 in the employee cafeteria - two days after its release. He claims to have known “his assignment” since then. It's not clear, whether this indicates that it was not Ebony who gave Kendrick the photo of the items.

However, Ebony verifiably is in possession of the items on the Meet the Graham cover. The veracity of the prescriptions was checked through their RX number and the receipts can be checked online. Ebony also claims that there was communication between him and Kendrick. Kendrick supposedly still has Ebony’s phone number and was provided with more riveting information about Drake. But Kendrick’s camp is absolutely silent in regards to Ebony. TDE’s Top Dawg declared the battle over, two hours after Ebony posted his first video. So the details of their relation are still unclear.

However, Kendricks silence doesn’t seem to bother Ebony much as he is still defending him. And since the items are infamous now because of their inclusion on the cover their value is lot higher than before. This is probably why Ebony went back to his original plan of auctioning the items off.

Why Ebony Became the Riddler​

Ebony’s Financial Agenda

The reason for Ebony becoming the Riddler and targeting Drake and DJ Akademiks refers back to the claims of the items being stolen or being planted.

Ebony is a self described “Black American Capitalist”. He accuses them of standing between him an his money. Claims of theft would make selling the items impossible. Claims of them being planted would render them inauthentic.

Ebony’s manager was allegedly also made aware of the claims of theft and advised him to get an attorney.

So this why the twitter account EbonyPrince2k24 was created:

  • to prove the authenticity of the items
  • to argue that the items were not stolen
  • to force Drake and Akademiks to retract their statements regarding the items
DJ Akademiks responded to Ebony’s demand to retract his claims by threatening him during a livestream. Ebony responded with a threatening twitter rant himself.

Ebony’s Personal Agenda

Ebony’s motivation doesn’t seem to be purely financial, however. As referenced above, Ebony was personally offended by Drakes alleged rudeness and arrogance when interacting with service personal.

Ebony is also trying to defend his professional reputation. The Mark seems to have implemented new strategies on monitoring their guest’s age after the Weintraub lawsuit.

Ebony claims to have completed a Certificate in the identification of child abuse. He seems to have taken offenseto current rumors around Drake as they insinuate he didn’t fulfill his professional obligation of reporting questionable activities.

And above all he’s admittedly a Kendrick fan.

Ebony’s Plan​

  • Ebony is trying to sell the items at an auction at a House of Ebony event on 9 November 2024.
  • He claims to have further info that he is likely open to sell to the highest bidder.
  • He also offers Drake an opportunity to end all this by contacting him and likely paying him off.
