Content creator Ratchet TV, known as the “hood journalist” on YouTube, has made explosive claims alleging harassment and threats tied to rapper Jay-Z and his associates. In a recent viral video, Ratchet TV accused powerful figures in the entertainment industry of attempting to silence him and other truth-seekers exposing systemic wrongdoing.
Ratchet TV stated that his streams have been frequently disrupted, claiming his Wi-Fi has been hacked, videos pixelated, and live streams frozen. He attributed these issues to interference by individuals connected to Jay-Z, describing their tactics as intimidation.
“I’ve been going live on YouTube every night, and every night they proceed to mess with my streams—hacking into my Wi-Fi, messing up the audio and video. It’s scary,” he said.
The YouTuber shared alleged messages from individuals he believes represent Jay-Z, threatening him to change the narrative of his content. According to Ratchet TV, one message read: “Switch the narrative back to Diddy, and if you don’t, you’re going to find out how powerful I really am.”
