Leaked call shows alleged bribe by Wilson consultant to Ja’Mal Green

This article was originally published by The TRiiBE.

An audio recording allegedly between mayoral candidate Willie Wilson’s political consultant Rickey Hendon and a volunteer for Ja’Mal Green’s campaign has leaked—and the talk details a bribe offered to Green’s team to drop the petition challenge against Wilson.

Green is also accusing Wilson of violating the residency requirements to run for Chicago mayor, claiming Wilson’s main home is in south suburban Hazel Crest. The two candidates have a history dating back to at least the 2019 Chicago municipal election, when Hendon—who was Wilson’s campaign advisor at the time—challenged Green’s petitions. After that, Green clashed with Hendon, with Hendon later posting on Facebook that he and Green exchanged threats about fighting one another. 

“If you withdraw, I will take care of you. And you can tell me how much you would need,” Hendon, a former state senator and 27th Ward alderperson, allegedly said on the recent phone call. That audio was released on Thursday. 

Chicago-based What’s the Word TV was the first media outlet to publish the full recording on its Instagram page on Thursday morning. What’s the Word TV has since removed the video, although The TRiiBE has retained the audio and video. (Read the full transcript below.) 

Additionally, Chicago-based blog Chicago Media Takeout posted the video on its Instagram page, and it was still up at publishing time.

“You know, don’t nobody want you to lose money, you know, ‘cause Ja’Mal ain’t ‘gon be on the ballot, bro. I wouldn’t do that shit,” Hendon allegedly continued on the call. He also mentioned 6th Ward alderperson Roderick Sawyer, who is also in the 2023 race for mayor.

“Sawyer ain’t gon be on the ballot,” Hendon allegedly said. “I never miss. Don’t shoot if I’ma miss.”

In a response to The TRiiBE, Wilson’s campaign spokesperson Richard Boykin confirmed that Hendon’s voice is on the recording.

“The comments made by former Sen. Rickey Hendon were not authorized by me or my campaign. This is a personal issue between Sen. Hendon and Mr. Green,” Boykin wrote in a press release on Thursday.

In a press release issued at 4:45 PM on Thursday, Green’s team identified the volunteer on the call as Kevin Hobby and acknowledged the conversation. Green said, “I’m glad someone was able to capture the corrupt openness Ricky has. Let me just say that the old way of politics is pulling some desperate moves to drag me and my campaign down, going so far as to offer financial compensation to my ally. This city’s corrupt nature shows its face almost out in the open now. The sleazy deals, the open bribery, the big money talking—it needs to end! That’s why I am running for mayor in the first place. 

“It’s time for the new generation of leadership, if the audio didn’t prove it then I’m not sure what will.”

Illinois law makes it a felony to intercept, record or transcribe any private telephone or electronic communication unless all parties consent. The TRiiBE has not yet been able to verify if the conversation was recorded legally.

According to Crain’s Chicago Business, businessman Wilson and community activist and entrepreneur Green are attempting to rid the current 11-candidate field of the other, while Wilson also filed a separate challenge to Sawyer. Other candidates are seeking to knock off long-shot candidates Frederick Collins and Johnny Logalbo.

Rickey Hendon: And I ain’t even gotta tell you, you know. The lines, we both know y’all weren’t in there looking at them [unintelligible] lines. So Willie’s gonna make it. Ja’Mal is not. Why you have to suffer? We can work something out. You come on our team or not. But I didn’t want to jam you, bruh. I got people that know you that’s [unintelligible] a game called [unintelligible]. So that’s where I’m coming from. 

Kevin Hobby: What you, what you, what you offering?

Rickey Hendon: Say what now?

Kevin Hobby: What you offering?

Rickey Hendon: Well, you know, everybody can use some help financially. So I will help you there if that was the case. I mean, I could just go through the case, you know, Willie got money. He can pay the lawyer. Done paid the lawyer already. But I’d like to get it over with, you know, so let me know what you’re trying to do. I mean–

Kevin Hobby: [unintelligible]

Rickey Hendon: You know, if you withdraw, I will take care of you. And you can tell me how much you would need. You know, don’t nobody want you to lose money, you know, ‘cause Ja’Mal ain’t ‘gon be on the ballot, bro. I wouldn’t do that shit. I had 25 people down there for a week. Sawyer ain’t gon be on the ballot. I never miss. Don’t shoot if I’ma miss. So what about what’s ‘gon happen with you? You know, you got a family, you know, kids and shit. They gotta eat. Christmas coming up. I go through this. And then, you know, the Board can look at the shotgun that they did on Willie because y’all hit every name on every page, you know, and refer that shit over to the State’s Attorney. Who wants to do that? I don’t want to do that to you. 

Kevin Hobby: Right.

Rickey Hendon: Yup. So just think it over and then you let me know if it’s something you willing to do. So just think it over and then let me know if it’s something you willing to do. You know, you’d have to, you know, file it. You know, if it’s a document, you’d have to file it, you know, 69 W. Washington. Just withdraw the objection against Willie. And I’ll look out for you. 

Kevin Hobby: Mmhm.

Rickey Hendon: I don’t like putting, you know, amounts and stuff. We are talking on the phone. But you can tell me, ‘Look. OK. I’ma do it.’ Soon as you do it, I’ll meet up with you. I’ll meet you down there. You know what I’m saying? And if you talk in the streets with people who know me, like the people who call me about you, they’ll tell you, ‘Rickey Hendon keeps his word.’ Whether it’s good or bad, you know, I’ma keep my word. You know?

Kevin Hobby: Right.

Rickey Hendon: That’s why I’m kicking Ja’Mal off. ‘Cause I told him that, ‘N*gga, if you run for dogcatcher or bootylicker, I’ma kick you off the ballot. Every time. Your shit better be perfect. Every time.’ I guess he thought I was joking. I’m serious, you know.

Fantasy 30: Anthony Edwards, Julius Randle and other NBA noteson December 9, 2022 at 12:20 am

The best fantasy basketball managers make a habit of looking at the NBA schedule, examining box scores and scouring the news for any tidbit that can help give them the edge in their leagues.

Luckily, Eric Moody does all that work for you each and every Thursday with the Fantasy 30, helping answer the tough questions such as whom to start, who are the best fantasy basketball sleepers out there and what’s the latest injury news with key players around the league.

Here’s the latest fantasy news from each of the 30 teams around the league.

Atlanta Hawks: Dejounte Murray left Wednesday’s game against the Hawks after just four minutes due to a left ankle sprain. The void was filled by Aaron Holiday, who finished with 21 fantasy points. Holiday becomes a streaming option with Murray now expected to miss two weeks. Holiday is only rostered in 0.2% of ESPN leagues.

There’s still time to play Fantasy Basketball this season! With leagues tipping off every Monday, it’s the perfect time to get started. Create or join a league today.

Play for free!

Boston Celtics: The Celtics have scored at least 125 points in 12 games, the most in the league. In Wednesday night’s game against the Suns, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum each scored 25 or more points for the 14th time this season. Among all duos, this is the most in the league.

Brooklyn Nets: Ben Simmons is expected to play against the Hawks on Friday. In the past, the Nets have been cautious with Simmons. It wouldn’t be surprising if he came off the bench and had his minutes limited in his first game back from a left calf strain. In four of his last five games, Joe Harris has scored 26 or more fantasy points. Harris remains on the streaming radar in deeper formats even with Simmons back on Friday.

Charlotte Hornets: Jalen McDaniels is only rostered in 7.3% of ESPN leagues and it is truly baffling. Gordon Hayward‘s shoulder injury has positioned McDaniels for success, and now P.J. Washington could miss time with an eye injury. McDaniels has scored 33 or more fantasy points in four of the last five games. He is having the most productive offensive season of his career.

Chicago Bulls: Over the last eight games, Zach LaVine has put up some solid stats for fantasy managers. He’s averaged 24.4 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 4.6 APG and 1.6 SPG during that spanning, scoring at least 32 fantasy points in every game.

Cleveland Cavaliers: On Wednesday, Jarrett Allen returned from his back injury to score 55 fantasy points against the Lakers. Since Evan Mobley‘s statistical performance may drop, fantasy managers should consider trading him away right now. Two players to trade for would be Zion Williamson or Jerami Grant.

Dallas Mavericks: Luka Doncic had his 52nd career triple-double on Tuesday against the Nuggets. Among players age 23 or younger, it’s the second most in league history. In other Mavericks news, Tim Hardaway Jr. has delivered some outstanding performances after struggling with his shot for much of the first part of the season. He has scored 34 or more fantasy points in five consecutive games and is only rostered in only 21.5% of ESPN leagues.

Denver Nuggets: As Michael Porter Jr. continues to miss time due to a left heel strain, Bruce Brown is starting and impressing for the Nuggets. Over the last seven games, he’s scored 25 or more fantasy points in five of them. Brown is only rostered in 28.3% of ESPN leagues.

Detroit Pistons: Killian Hayes (25.1% rostered) is another player who should be on more fantasy teams. In spite of the return of Jaden Ivey, Hayes continues to receive significant usage. In the last five games, Hayes has averaged 37.6 fantasy points during the past five games and is well positioned to thrive due to the continued absence of Cade Cunningham.

2 Related

Golden State Warriors: Against the Jazz on Wednesday night, Jordan Poole reminded fantasy managers how lethal he can be whenever one of the Warriors’ perimeter starters is out. With Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins unavailable against the Jazz, Poole prospered with 36 points, four rebounds and eight assists.

Houston Rockets: Flashes of Tari Eason‘s fantasy potential has been on display in recent games. The only thing he needs is to play more minutes. Eason has scored 40 or more fantasy points three times in the last six games he has played 20 or more minutes in. Eason is only rostered in 7.9% of ESPN leagues, and the Rockets could use all the assistance they can get.

Indiana Pacers: On Wednesday night, Tyrese Haliburton became the first player in Pacers history to score 25 points and accumulate 15 assists in a game. Aside from Stephen Curry, he is the only other player to accomplish this feat this season. Haliburton has averaged 50.6 fantasy points per game. In the two recent games Haliburton missed, rookie Andrew Nembhard played well, including an electric performance against Curry and the Warriors. Keep him on your watch list.

LA Clippers: Kawhi Leonard and Paul George have played 110 games together, including the regular season and playoffs. Together, they shot 25.9% from the field against the Magic on Wednesday, their worst field goal percentage since joining the Clippers in 2019-20. Meanwhile, fantasy managers who waited to draft Ivica Zubac at the center position have been pleased with the results. Against the Magic, Zubac recorded his 12th double-double of the season.

Los Angeles Lakers: Thomas Bryant had an opportunity to showcase his skills for the Lakers’ coaching staff with Anthony Davis out, and he delivered. In two consecutive games, Bryant scored 31 or more fantasy points. Whether he gets more minutes remains to be seen, but fantasy managers should keep an eye on him for whenever AD misses time. Bryant is only rostered in 8.3% of ESPN leagues.

Memphis Grizzlies: In three to four weeks, Desmond Bane, who is out with a toe sprain, will begin a gradual reloading protocol. Until then, John Konchar, who is only rostered in 4.4% of ESPN leagues, will continue to benefit. Over the last 11 games, he’s averaged 10.3 PPG, 7.5 RPG, 1.7 APG and 1.3 SPG.

Miami Heat: Victor Oladipo played 19 minutes in his season debut on Tuesday. He finished with nine points, two rebounds and two assists. Gabe Vincent is out with a knee injury, so Oladipo should get playing time, but he will be on a minutes restriction in the near future. Oladipo should remain on fantasy managers’ watch lists for now. He averaged 12.4 PPG, 3.5 APG and 2.9 RPG.

Knicks-Bulls, 7:30 p.m.Timberwolves-Clippers, 10 p.m.

*All times Eastern

Milwaukee Bucks: In his last eight games, Giannis Antetokounmpo has averaged 35.9 points, 9.6 rebounds and 5.9 assists. In Bucks franchise history, only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has averaged 35 PPG over eight games. This season, Antetokounmpo has averaged 52.7 fantasy points per game.

Minnesota Timberwolves: It has been three straight games where Anthony Edwards has scored 25 points or more and had at least five steals. The last three players to accomplish this feat were Chris Paul in 2009, Allen Iverson in 2002 and Michael Jordan in 1990. Since steals became official in 1973-74, Jordan is the only player to do it in four consecutive games.

New Orleans Pelicans: In the Western Conference, the Pelicans are in first place. Zion Williamson had at least 25 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists for the sixth time in his career on Wednesday night. Trey Murphy III remains a viable streamer while Brandon Ingram is out with a toe injury. In six consecutive games, Murphy has scored 30 or more fantasy points. He is only rostered in 26.1% of ESPN leagues.

New York Knicks: On Wednesday night against the Hawks, Julius Randle had his 27th career game with at least 25 points, 10 rebounds and five assists with the Knicks. Randle has had a slow start to the season, but things have picked up for him lately, especially in the last eight games. Seven of those games have seen Randle score 33 or more fantasy points, including three with 40 or more.

Oklahoma City Thunder: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has scored less than 50 fantasy points in two consecutive games and has 50 or more fantasy points only once in the last four games. Surprised? This is how high the bar has become for Gilgeous-Alexander this year.

Orlando Magic: Recovering from his foot injury, Wendell Carter Jr. is about a week away from returning to play. Currently, he’s an intriguing trade candidate for fantasy managers. Carter Jr. has averaged 16.6 points and 9.1 rebounds this season, putting up 32 fantasy points per game.

Philadelphia 76ers: During the past two games, Tobias Harris has played very well with 40 or more fantasy points in each of them. While it was great to see James Harden back on the court with the 76ers after 14 missed games, The Beard struggled in his return on Monday. In the near term, Shake Milton can still be streamed while Harden gets his feet under him.

Phoenix Suns: Devin Booker has struggled from the field during the past two games, which is reflected in his fantasy point totals of 24 and 17. Since Booker has averaged 45.8 fantasy points per game this season, this is atypical for the Suns’ star shooting guard. In Wednesday’s game against the Celtics, Booker finished with a -40 plus minus, his 2nd-worst in a game for his entire career. With a usage rate of 32.6%, he should bounce back sooner rather than later.

Portland Trail Blazers: It’s great news that Damian Lillard‘s return hasn’t negatively affected Jerami Grant‘s play. In Lillard’s return against the Pacers on Sunday, Grant scored 35 fantasy points. Grant has scored 42 or more fantasy points six times in the last six games, including two games with over 50 points.
