Video summary
Tony Gash provides a critical analysis of DeJon Love's fraudulent activities by drawing parallels between the scammer's tactics and his own past experiences with deception in dating scenarios. He explains that many women often justify answering financial questions from men who appear wealthy to avoid feeling like a burden, even when those men are lying about their assets. Gash recounts how he once fabricated stories of immense wealth, such as claiming a twenty-million-dollar NFL contract, to manipulate partners into providing financial or emotional support, noting that these lies succeeded because victims believed his fabricated status. He details specific methods used to extract funds, such as feigning financial struggles like needing money for car repairs or team bonuses, which targeted women with good credit but low incomes who were eager to help.
The core of the discussion highlights how DeJon Love exploited this psychological dynamic by posing as a successful athlete, leading thousands of women to believe they were investing in his future rather than being scammed out of their savings and credit limits. Gash emphasizes that while DeJon was eventually exposed, many victims remain unaware of the full extent of the fraud, including the unauthorized use of their credit cards. In response to this landscape of deception, Gash advocates for a shift in mindset regarding dating apps, warning against desperation for wealth while acknowledging the necessity of online platforms in modern society. He promotes his own matchmaking app, Destiny, as a safer alternative designed to vet users and prevent scams, alongside his other coaching services aimed at helping people navigate these challenges more safely.
Beyond the specific case study, the speaker clarifies that his fundamental message remains unchanged unless guided by spiritual updates, explicitly rejecting external pressure from viewers to alter his stance or opinions. He states that he does not seek likes or subscriptions, viewing them as optional, and insists that his content is delivered "real and raw" without pandering to specific desires. Having worked for the Lord for twenty years, he maintains that while moral values must remain intact, using dating apps or social networking sites are not inherently sinful; however, actions such as premarital sex, adultery, lying, cheating, stealing, and killing are strictly condemned. His ultimate goal is to lead viewers toward personal growth rather than sin, ensuring that his advice promotes ethical behavior without compromising the integrity of his platform.

Hey, hey, Tony Gash is here. Popping in
real quick on a little drive
back to the house.
Wanted to pop in. It's a charger behind
me. I don't know if it's a unmarked
police or just a charger,
but saw a Dejon love video today
and I had saw it, but I hadn't thought
much of it.
Want to touch on it.
And the thing about it is you would
think this will be obvious, but here's
the thing.
Women justify
this set of questioning
when you dealing with a man with money.
So when you dealing with a man with
money,
which is what Dejon Love presented
himself as, and the women didn't know or
didn't have a reason to believe he
wasn't a man of means.
But when you're dealing with a man with
money
and he asks you where your money is,
you
feel the need to answer that because you
coming into his life and you want to
feel like somewhat of an asset. Even
though you know you can't do nothing for
him financially, if you assume his money
is real, you at least don't want to seem
like a bill and a burden. So, you may
even lie.
And I think that could have been how he
played on these women because they're
looking like, "Hey, this is my comeup."
Like, I don't understand the NFL. I
don't understand the roster, but this
man is grocery shopping with this
helmet. Like, he's showering with this
helmet. Like, he really loves the game.
This man love the game so much.
He really live his thing. Eat, sleep,
breathe. He live football. So they
thought it was a come up. So that's why
you answer them questions. And I'm going
to tell you, and I don't mean to sound
like Yoda, but a man should not be
worrying about where a woman finances is
because our goal need to be is to get to
a place, work as hard as you can to take
care of all that. And my wife will tell
you like that's the goal. Take care of
all that. And like I say, I don't mean
to sound like Yoda the awakening, but
still.
So I want you to realize those questions
are red flags. Now they red flags. But
he asked that
and when he asked that, he say, "Oh, you
know, I want to know this this this."
And the thing about it is without him
having money, had he not had money,
which he ain't had no money, but had he
not had money in their mind, them
questions would have been clear red
flags. But because they thought he was a
millionaire,
it no longer made it a red flag.
And I'mma tell y'all something now, cuz
I did this before. I did this before.
I was in college, came home,
came home for the summer
and somehow reconnected
with a girl I dated in the ninth grade.
But I dated her before I lost my
virginity
and either that or I was trying to do
something with her and she wouldn't let
me. It was one or the other. People was
telling me she was sleeping with a older
guy. I ain't know
what was true, what was what was not
true. But
so dealing with her and
she was real pretty body, everything.
So I'm over there. I pretend to get a
phone call. Boom.
I hit the little button, make my phone
ring, make the thing. Oh, let me take
this call. Flip the phone over. I take
the call. Hello.
Yeah, that's me. Hey, how you doing? I'm
doing good. Going good.
Okay.
All right.
So, the Jacksonville Jaguars
said that.
So, what they So, what they say they
want to do? They want to do
20 million for
5 years.
Okay. Okay.
20 million for five.
Well,
I guess I'll take it. I guess I'll take
it.
And
okay. Well, all right. Well, let me
know, you know, keep me posted. Keep me
posted. All right. Now, close the flip
phone. Close the flip phone.
Here go. Here go the girl. So, I went
back over there. I went to the other
side of the bed cuz we was in her
section 8 apartment. I went to the other
side of the bed and I don't know where
her son was. I don't know if he was in
school or he was with his daddy or what,
but she had a son.
So, I went back to the other side of the
bed where she was and
she uh
I'm thinking about everything now. My
mind racing. I'm like, man, that that
other time when she trying to get me set
up to get robbed. I'll tell y'all about
that story another time. And so
so I went back to com talking to her,
confiding in her. So now this how you
play the game. So now you put her in
role of advisor. Hey, so what you think
about this?
Yeah. So So I went I said, "Yeah, that
was that was my agent calling me talking
about Jacksonville Jaguars offering
20 million for
four years or five years. I can't
remember. I said four or five years."
And she was like, "Okay, well I mean
that's good,
right? Is that is that good?" I say,
"Yeah, yeah, that's pretty decent." You
know, coming into the league,
you know, coming out of college, going
into the league, she I knew she knew
nothing about football, nothing about
division one, division two. I was
division two. Like, you ain't going to
get that money coming out no division
two, right? When you first go. And so
I said, "Yeah, you know, it's pretty
good." But now I knew I said if she got
any gold digger in her, she f to be wide
open, boy. She f to be doing any and
everything, boy.
And sure enough, she sure was when I
tell you in and everything.
And and I remember her sitting down and
her talking to me and she was like, you
know, I just don't feel right. Like
cuz like I don't bring nothing to the
table. Like I feel bad. I don't bring
nothing to the table. What she don't
realize I ain't have no table. And that
was a lie. That I was going to nobody
it. And I definitely was going to be
making nobody 20 million. She ain't know
that though. I was Dejan love before
Dejon love. That's what a lot of you
don't understand. That's what I try to
tell you now. But I ain't get no money
off of him. See me, I was lying for the
behind. See him, he he he on something
else. He he want the money. Me, I was
lying for the behind. And so,
and so I let her feel that. I'm like,
well, you know,
it ain't about that. You know, it ain't
about that. like long as you a good
person, you got a good heart,
like that's really what it's about.
I remember driving her to her job. I
probably were 18, 19 years old. I
remember driving her to her job.
She worked at Ryan's. Y'all remember
Ryan's? It's like Golden Corral. Ryan's
was a Ryan was a is a buffet place. She
worked at Ryan. I remember driving her
and dropping her off and I probably
either went to work or went home. I
can't remember cuz I had a summer job
working in a corporate office and I
remember picking up from work and I was
like, you know how everything going?
It's like good. It was a long day. It
was a slow day. I was like, how much you
made? She say $12.
I couldn't even beat that John Love if I
wanted to. $12.
I'm saying in my head I'm like, "Oh,
okay.
I'm trying to keep a straight paid. I'm
trying to be motivational. Like I'm I'm
trying to come up with, okay, what do I
say to this $12? WHAT did you I'm like
I'm thinking in my head, I'm glad you on
section eight and that rent $5 because
woo, you really down bad. And so
like $12.
I'm just thinking in my head cuz see my
white girl when I was with the white
girl in high school, she went to work at
Longhorn
and she'll call me after work and be
like, "Hey, how you doing?" Like I'm
like, "Ain't no, you know, everything
good? What going on with you?"
Nothing. Just got off of work. It was
such a great day. Made $120.
She was bringing home 10020.
It was like 100 120 every night. I'm
like, "Wow." You know, that's a lot of
money as a adult to bring home 500 700 a
week. You happy? She bring home that
cash tip. So, I would Dejan love. I'm
living good. I'm getting pineapple soda.
I'm getting twix.
I'm getting I'm getting birthday gifts.
I'm getting NBA jersey. The matching
hat.
I'm getting picked up in her little car,
getting drove around, get to go through
the drivethru. Well, I'm living good,
boy. I was in 10th grade. Y I was in
10th grade. She was in 11th grade. Well,
I'm living good, boy. Come training
camp. 11th grade. Yeah. Training camp
come around here. She She pull up there.
Training camp, bring me lunch. Got my
old bologn sandwich and some Doritos.
Little little my little pineapple soda.
I'm sitting in the front seat taming
lunch up. I remember my coach when I got
out the car, he said, "Gasking, you want
to be a lover or a football player?"
Coach, you bad cuz that's a white girl.
You bad with a white girl.
But hey, but that was the come up. So
that's what Dejon love doing. Cuz I'mma
tell you, sisters,
sisters will help you now.
But that lot got to be airtight.
That lie got to be airtight
to get some help from her sister. You
not been to get no help from no sister.
If that lie ain't airtight, but that lie
got to be so good. You hear me? So the
black girl when I was telling her my
dejon love lies, I couldn't even
I couldn't even get me no money off
because all she was making was $12.
I'd have felt bad asking for something.
I would let her borrow my daddy car. I
was like, "Take me to work and you can
hold a car." Like, "You need to get out
here and get it. You need to get out
here and figure something out." And then
guess what? One day I'm over at the
section 8. I look over, she got a duffel
bag unzipped. Look, like I said, a
bathing suit in there. So, I'm like,
"What's that right there?" I'm like,
"What? You went to the beach?"
She was like, "No,
that's uh
That's my That's my outfit. I said,
"What?" I said, "What you mean by that?"
She was like, "I dance."
I'm like, "Huh?
You dance? What you mean?"
She like, "Yeah, me and my friend, we
met this guy and he drive us 3 hours
away to Jacksonville to dance on the
weekends to make some money."
Oh, okay. So now, you know, I'm living
in sin. I'm fornicating. So I'm trying
not to judge. I'm not in a place to
judge. So I'm like, "Oh, okay." So at
that point right there, now now that I
know you dance. Oh, now I'm f Now I'm f
to flip and toss. Oh yeah. Now you got
to do everything now. Woo! You dance?
Okay. Yeah. Uhuh. I'm taking the gloves
off on you now.
I'm in there acting a fool now. And so
I'm like,
she danced. Never thought.
And now that's the only stripper that I
dealt with to my knowledge, but I had
already, you know, we we hadn't already
done went there before I found that out.
So it ain't last much longer than that.
And um I remember one time I was at home
laying in the bed. She text me. She was
like, "Are you going to come f me or
what?" And I'm like, "H, it's 11:30."
Like I even I'm in college but yeah my
mom and dad ain't even going to just let
me get up at I'm not trying to get up at
11:30 midnight to go over there to the
section 8. I'm like y'all can't even
have no man in the house. You f to get
evicted. Like child it's midnight.
And then one day I went over there and
I'mma tell you boy. Woo. When I tell you
that thing could make a good dirty
burger that you know that dirty frying
pan with the black with all the black in
there.
Woo! Thing used to make me a burger in
there.
When I tell you that burger was so
goodoo
never had no burger that good. Cheese on
it,
lettuce, tomato, ketchup and mustard.
Then one day I was over there and she
was like, "Yeah,
e ho, they'll hate on you cuz we not
allowed to have a man all us in here on
section 8." And it was like just one
little apartment. It wasn't like no
whole project. It was like one little
apartment and it was like two of them,
maybe side by side, maybe four levels
up. I don't know if it was two or four
on each level, but all of them was on
section 8. And you ain't allowed to have
no man. So if one of them have a man,
the other ones will call the owner and
hate and be like, "Oh, such and such got
a man in her place. Got a man coming in
and out her place, got a man standing
with her. We ain't allowed to have no
man." And it's crazy how the system is,
right? Like if you got a man in the
house, you ain't getting no money. And
so I got the same rule. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Get it together now,
buddy. What you got going on now? You
need to get that thing together, boy.
You need to hold Let me get on past you
cuz you look we What you going through,
man?
Get that thing together, boy.
Man, truck got the hiccups. What he
going through? I just got my son car
fixed. I'm in my son car. He had got hit
in the parking lot, so I just got it
fixed. Cost $1,000 cash, man. Talking
about we don't take cards. Yes, sir.
You're racist. You don't take card from
black people cuz you know them them
young black folks go call that card and
say it was a that that was a fraudulent
charge and now you upside down. I
already knew why he said it if I gave
him cash. I ain't worried about it, sir.
Here go the $1,000. He like you ain't
going to find nobody that would have did
that for that price.
Sir ain't even asking. I ain't even
asking. Appreciate you. Thank you.
And so
that was what she she said. Yeah. So I
can't really I am not allowed to have
anybody stay tonight. But so sometimes
if you stay tonight, you just have to
sneak
and try to sneak in real late and sneak
out early before somebody see you cuz
they'll tell on me. She said, "It
happened to me before when my son daddy
was over here." And I was like, "Okay,
all right." So, I don't know if he was
in jail or prison or what or why I was
able to be over there, but at that time
I had a girlfriend in in college and so
I stayed with her one time for three
nights and I had my daddy car and my
daddy was supporting me. I don't know if
my daddy thought I was going to the NFL
too or what, but he was supporting me.
you know, he's a loving guy. And
he got on to me though cuz I let her
drop me off and she had his car and she
went to the bottom and in the bottom
they got dirt road. So when she came to
pick him up, the t the tires, it was a
Lexus LS400. So it's a big body Lexus,
Lexus sedan. And the tires had the chalk
all over it. My dad was like, "Son, I'm
let you hold my car. You bring my car
looking looking a mess, man. Where you
been at in my car, man? Don't do
somebody call like that, man. I'm
letting you hold my car. You got my car
looking like this. I'm like, Dad, I'm
sorry. You know, that was such and such.
You know, she had went to the bottle in
the car. Like, man, you let people hold
my car and drive my car, man. Get my car
back.
And she came to pick me up and I'm at
the corporate office. So, I got the
business casual. I got on slacks and a
button down. She come pick me up with
them old chalky tires. I'm like, "Hold
on. Where the world you been?" She like,
"Well, I was in the bottom. I went to
see my mama." I'm like, "Uhuh. You don't
need you don't get to go see your mama
no lessons now. Your mama need to come
to you on the concrete. You riding
through the dirt road. So listen, I was
dejon love before Dejon love because
before that
I remember going on a college visit
and they put me with a white girl cuz
that's what they try to do to get you to
hook to the school. So they put with a
white girl and she supposed to come off
something, but you don't really know if
she going to come off something or not.
So I'm talking to her and I hit her with
a with a dejon. I say I said, "Okay, so
yeah, so you from here? So you live up
here?" "Okay, all right. Yeah, cool. All
right." Right. Cuz one of the guys, he
from that area and he used to date her
or whatever and he told me about her and
he putting with her and his
ex-girlfriend from high school or
something and she live in the area and
she was a pretty she was a pretty white
girl and
she kind of had some rosy red cheeks. I
remember that. And but she had a a
perfect body like my like the girl in
high school that I had dated. Probably
still was dating. I don't know. And so I
told her, I said, "Yeah, you know, I'm
thinking about coming up here." I said,
"I probably going to commit. They they
giving me a full ride, so I probably
will come on up here." And I say, "Um,
you know, say the only thing is like I
got a white Escalade
and I just like when I leave to go home,
I don't want to drive home. I'mma fly
home. So, I just need somebody to be
able to hold my Escalade while I'm while
I'm home, you know? And so, well, her
eyes lit up. She like, "Oh, okay." So, I
was like, you know, being I met you and
you you from here? I'm like, "You a hold
Escalade for me while I'm home for the
summer?" She like, "Yeah, yeah, for
sure. I definitely would do that for
you." I'm like, "Okay." But them eyes
lit up.
Boy, it wasn't 30 minutes later. We was
out there doing what grown folk do and
boy look here.
And the thing he had no draws on. Didn't
have no draws on. Y'all forgive me when
I say thing. I don't mean to be
disrespectful. I'm just talking about
them type of women who be moving around
and using that body for that right
there. So that's what I'm trying to tell
y'all. When I be giving y'all the game,
I played the game at the highest level.
I was Dejon before Dejon. It just again,
I was telling lies for the behind. See
me, I wanted to dig off in. I wasn't I
ain't I wasn't trying to get no money
and I I was always a simple man. Even
when I changed my life, got married,
wrote my book, my first speaking
occasion, I told him, "Give me $65."
I've always been a simple man. I said,
"Give me $65."
And she said, "What you want in your in
your dressing room?" I said, "Give me
some chicken wings and some pineapple."
I It was over It was over the internet.
So, I never got to see her face. But now
that I know what you get paid for
speaking engagements, I know that lady
fell out her chair when I told her,
"Give me $65
to for a speaking engagement at a
university." 9. The minimum you going to
get is 500.
So I gave her 90% discount.
I know. She was like, "What in the
world?"
She probably paid me out her pocket cuz
see back then back then they used to pay
you out of pocket back then. Back then
they'll pay you out of pocket.
Back then
back then you'll take not pay you out of
pocket. back then you get a little paper
check that is handwritten on. So I've
always been a simple guy. Y'all giving
just told me to take this exit. I forgot
where I was going. I'm like am I going
home or I going to the office? And so
I did that right there.
And
it almost
cost me. I was living like Dejon Love.
And
now I got a little bit more money when I
got to college, but never like no
$1,000. It might be $200.
I'll get a $100, $200 at a time.
Get get some jersey, get a little bit of
money, get, you know, get some clothes.
Outfit might be a few hundred on a
holiday, but nothing crazy. Nothing
crazy.
And
I noticed like
the man pretend to be rich and then the
woman felt like she got to prove
herself. So she like I got to prove that
I bring something to the table. And a
lot of these women could have been lying
about their credit score and they
savings and they income cuz they don't
want to look like a bum. And then so
when he say hey my check got held up. So
I seen how he did it cuz I'm like how do
you pull this off? And he was basically
saying he about to switch teams.
He bought a car. They added some extra
stuff to the car. He done paid for the
majority of the car.
And now he need
Now he need
four 5,000 more.
And he need And he want to get the car
ASAP.
and he need her to get the4 5,000 from
whoever she got to borrow it from cuz he
know he going to be able to pay it back
cuz when they make the playoffs they
going to get a bonus.
I'm like wow.
I'm like wow this this this man is
creative.
I'm I'm like my goodness. Like this is
this is next level.
But I ain't I ain't think that deep into
it now. My goodness.
So that what he said. That what he said.
And I'm like, "Okay, well,
all right. Okie dokie. You know what we
going to do?" So,
I want you to think about this
and I want you to realize and understand
that
because Dejon Love did that
and he had that chromium doium and he
got away with it. Meaning he got 1.3
million. Yeah, he got caught. But
it's not that it's not that deep. Like
he got caught. Every everybody go to the
feds. Everybody get caught. Everybody do
a little prison time. That's women doing
time for fraud. So, it ain't that deep.
And then he got to 1.3. Every man don't
need 1.3.
Some of these some of these folk, men
and women do this kind of scamming, they
might just want 130.
They might just want 13,000. They might
just want 1300.
Cuz think about it, get 1300 from you,
you ain't going to lose no sleep over
that. You going to move on with your
life eventually. You going to move on
with your life. You done came off that
1300 done and then he going to do that
to 20 other women. He eating.
He eating.
So the thing about Dejon love now this
what I love about the Lord.
The Lord will let you get exposed.
So because Dejon didn't got exposed,
now
the millions of impressions that his
videos are getting
is putting
all of these women on the dating apps is
putting them up on game
and they seeing the stuff that he
telling them and I'm guaranteeing you.
Wow. But over there at the air pump with
the with the Virgil Ablo
Mercedes Maybite
that two-tone. Wow.
Better get that thing ready for the
night. So
it take and
they all it's right now is thousands of
women.
That's like, hold on,
hold on, hold on, hold on. This guy I'm
talking to
just got $400 off of me.
Talking by
talking by
he need this, he need that. He going
through this, he going through that.
Hold on. I met him off the day nap now.
Hold on. Hold on.
So now all is thousands of women coming
into the realization that they're being
played.
And that's what we got to be thankful
for this exposure. That's why I'm
talking about it so much because I want
to drive it home. I want to get it out
to many people as possible. Like yes,
you could be scammed. And see, I'mma
tell y'all. See th this is the thing
that women have to switch. And it's also
a play.
This also is to teach women a lesson.
Stop being so thirsty for a man with
money.
Stop being so thirsty
for a man who can provide for you
because that desperation is what's
getting your deed down.
So the same way I was it I was at a age
to where I wasn't thinking about money
and and the young ladies didn't have no
money cuz I was 18 19 years old. You
know from the age of 15 to 21 I was in
the game. So ain't nobody have no money.
But I tried my wife though when I met
her. She bought me a pair of work boots.
She bought me
a pair of Air Force ones.
And then after I wrote my book,
published my book, she she bought me a
mosqueen outfit, brand new, cuz she
worked and had a job. And she was at my
first speaking engagement in the crowd
with with my sister.
And
my sister going to raise her hand and
ask a question. Can you step from behind
the podium
to show your outfit?
Why must you look good? Why was you look
good? I don't know now. I don't know.
And so, and the lady who booked me, she
was over to the side. She said, "Don't
do it. Do not do it."
I stepped from behind the podium. The
girls in the crowd went
my wife out there in the crowd. He mine,
he mine, he my wife used to be a little
ghetto now. That's mine. That's mine.
I'm like, man, should have left her at
the house. I could have got me one of
the M Cookman girl, brought her up but
up here with me. She up here
messing up the game. But guess what? I
had I had to bring her because she paid
for the book to be published, which was
$1,300. I was a little I HAD A LITTLE
DEJA LOVE IN ME.
$1,300.
And she bought me the Air Force Ones I
had on. $100, hundred and something
dollars and a mosqu outfit. Probably
$250.
My wife was carrying me. Guess what?
I guess the girl got more sense than I
thought cuz now I'm carrying her. My
wife ain't worked in 20 years.
She turned 40 this month. My wife ain't
working in 20 years.
So see you see you see how like
the devil and God
you see how what God getting ready to do
in your life
the devil will emulate it.
So, the life my wife has being a
stay-at-home mom with a provider man who
take care of her 100%.
Pay all her bills, all her luxury, all
her leisure, her Pilates, her all her
hair, all her nails, all her my wife
don't make a single dollar. And so the
life she got
and the sacrifice she made for me early
is the life that them women wanted.
They didn't just give Dejon money
because they wanted to give a black man
money.
That it wasn't slavery guilt. They
thought they were investing into a man
that was going to one that was going to
sit them down.
They thought they were investing into a
man and that he was going to build them
up and make them more of an asset to him
cuz they thought he was going to take
that money and flip it. But now here's
the lie that we've been told that a lot
of people believe in that actually is
not true.
So, we have all been thinking
the man was just he was able to get
money from all these women because he
had the 18year-old
financial investor. But I seen a few
videos where he just begging for money
for a car. He asking for money for a car
or for jewelry
or for this or for that. Cuz he talking
to one girl. He was like, "I love my I
love my jewelry. I love my jewelry. My
jewelry got my number on it and I'm
about to pay such and such for the
number and I'mma have this number." So,
I'm like, "What is he talking about the
jewelry like this? He's saying that he
can't sell it or he asking her for the
money because his money tied up cuz he
got to buy his number." I'm like, "What
do how much you love your jewelry have
anything to do with anything?"
So the man just was rambling and you
know what these women they tired. They
feet hurt, they back hurt, they head
hurt. They tired. They just was ready to
be sat down. They they just was like, "I
want to be sat down. I want to be a
stay-at-home mom, a stay-at-home wife. I
want the life. I want the life these
other girls got on Instagram. I want the
Gwagon. I want if he got like the one
young lady said that he got her I think
a Porsche or something or a Corvette or
something. He got her.
So she was like
she gave him 11,000
but she say she had watched him spend
hundreds of thousands with her.
So she was like
you know what am I going to do? And and
so he was asking these young ladies
like, "What's your credit?" Like,
a lot of women got good credit. A lot of
women good with their credit. So he
asked them, "What's your credit like?"
So therefore,
he was able to get them to make him an
authorized user on a credit card and
say, "Hey, I really need" And you got to
realize now, most women going to have
buried their head in the sand. We not
hearing the depths of this stuff. So
most women buried their head in the
sand.
And I hope they all come out. If you see
this, you follow me, you one of the
women, come on out, tell your story.
Send me an email. Come on here. Let's
talk about the story. We ain't going to
make fun of you. We just want to hear
the depths of what he was doing. And so
I guarantee you he had women put him on
as a authorized user on a car and said,
"Hey, let me use this car. I'll pay the
bill."
And it's a lot of times in the times
that he was doing it, it's a lot of
women with credit cards with a $20,000
limit,
30,000, 40,000, 50,000. Like I remember
I had clients who had
multiple credit cards with $50,000
limits. And that's how they would fund
themselves and pay them pay their bills
and float themselves until they made
money, until they got money back. And so
it was one of those things. So I say
that to say it's like
I say that to say it's like
he had some women that he was on their
card and he using their card
and then he told one of the girls he
said he said when you get he said let's
say you on Tinder and you on Hing
He say
you got like 50 70 options. He said you
on both of them. You got hundreds of
options.
So that's why he has so many videos on
deck.
And that's why I try to tell y'all
destiny is not a dating app. It's a
matchmaking app because you don't have
hundreds of options. The men don't have
hundreds of options. The men have one
option and he has to hit
interested or passed
and then the woman has to hit interested
as well for him to be able to write her.
So he don't have hundreds of options
like Dejon had on Bumble where the women
selected him or on Tinder and Hinge
where he could select them. You don't
have that. That's why I did that. And
then I had a dummy in the comments
talking about, "Yeah, Tony, they saying
Tony say get online because he got a
dating app." For one, our hours is
nothing like a dating app. So if you're
used to a dating app, you going to hate
Destiny because it's way slower. Two,
it's no money being made. We have not
made a single dime. It cost to build. It
cost to promote. Like there's no money.
There's no money being made, dummy. So
shut up. Just cuz somebody do something
don't mean it's a ulterior motive for
it. The reason why I do it is because
I've been preaching stay off dating apps
for existence, but every person I talked
to was on a dating app. So I'm like, if
none of y'all going to listen, I'mma
just create something that's going to be
safer. Something that's going to be
safer and slower because that's what I
am. I am a solutionoriented
person. That's why I created it. I'm
already a millionaire. I already have
money. It's not like, and I hate to
sound like Dejon Love, but it's not like
we just going to go in this and get rich
overnight. We may never get rich. It may
never grow. It may never build, but we
already building other things. My
developer is who rebuilt my mentor.life.
He's also who built blackandfitit.com.
I'm also about to ask him can he rebuild
my other site friendlin.com.
We also have a stat tracking app for
basketball people who play basketball
parents called the score app.ai.
We also have quoting life quote app
and I'm forgetting stuff. I also have
ask Tony G.com
which is a chatbot trained by my stuff.
I also own coachfile.app
for life coaches to manage their client
files. So I don't have one business. I
have multiple businesses. I also have
tony gaskkinsacademy.com.
I also have YouTube channel. I also have
the purpose pushers community which is a
paid community. that's purposebased.
And yes, it's not a big stream of
income, but it's diversification of me
living my purpose and helping other
people live their purpose. And instead
of charging somebody whatever hundreds
per hour, if they can't afford that,
they could be a part of a community for
a few dollars and yet still get
coaching. So I'm diversified in real
life, not like Dejon Love where he just
talking. You could go to my websites and
sign up. You could go see it for
yourself and be a part of it. Go to
blackandfitit.com. Spell howigh it
sound. black and a dfit. Fit t.com.
The dot was available. Go to the
purposearch.com.
A rc is how you spell arc.
thepurposearchc.com.
So stay out of my comments, dummies, and
and you don't have to tell me when you
done listening.
Leave and don't let the dough hit you
where the good Lord split you cuz I
ain't never changed. I've been out here
talking since 2007, went viral in 2010
and my message ain't changed. Now time
the thing what you got to realize is
there are updates to our world. The fact
that every single woman who is single is
struggling in the dating world.
The the women who get on dating app they
already on dating apps whether I got a
dating app or not. But you see what they
was open to the day John loves. That's
what they were susceptible to. So that's
why we took and created something that's
safer and slower. It's more vetted. You
connect it based on your compatibility,
but it's at a much slower pace. 50 guys
can't write you. You can't write 50
guys.
And so that's what you got to realize
and understand.
And so for those of y'all, oh Tony, it
sound like my video. I was like, why it
taking men so long to commit? And I'm
talk and I what I said dating apps,
social media, pornography.
And I'm telling the the ladies, if you
want a man today, you have to change
your mindset. You're going to have to
get on social media. You may have to get
on a dating app depending on your job,
where you live, what you do. It's just a
change of the times. It would be wrong
of me to keep beating a dead horse and
telling you to only do what you've
always been doing, which still has not
worked. So, it's nothing wrong with
meeting somebody online. You just have
to have rules for it. And the dating
apps as they were, the dating apps as
they are, I still don't stamp it. And I
said that in that video. I still don't
stamp a single other dating app. I only
stamp destiny because of how it's
created. It's created to protect you.
The sign up process alone will make a
scammer not want to get on there. It
don't mean that everybody who get on
there is going to be completely sane or
whatever cuz we had a guy on there who
does some type of security or something
and he went to look up somebody who he
saw their thing and I guess felt like
the app was moving too slow and he
wanted to connect with her. And so you
still going to have people who could do
stupid stuff no matter what. But what we
trying to do is minimize that. We also
got it to where you in the chat and you
stay in the chat. So now you in the
chat, you don't have to change your
number. You could talk to them right in
the chat.
And I I think we got video in the chat
on the pro version or that's just for me
to teach classes.
But you could do all of that. And so
that's why I created it. And it's like,
would I love for it to grow and become
the number one most intentional dating
app? Absolutely. And if it grow and it's
making sustainable money where we could
hire a staff and we could dial it in
more, we could market it more
intentionally and we could make it the
most intentional matchmaking app. See
the thing what a lot of dummies don't
understand is that the devil is working
and the devil is always going to work.
What we have to do as Christians, as the
body of Christ, is we got to go into the
marketplace and we have to purify the
marketplace. So when I see dating apps,
I don't want to do a dating app. I
didn't want to do dates. I did it
because my audience kept begging me,
Tony, please make your own app. Tony,
please make your own app. Because they
were on the apps. So, if a app is not
for you, great. Here go a cookie.
Congratulations. But guess what? There
are many Christian women and Christian
men who don't have anything against a
app and they're on the app. I got a lot
of respect.
for Caleb Curl.
Caleb
got on the app. I don't know if he told
y'all that. I could be telling business.
He ain't tell. But when Caleb told me he
was on Hinge, he's off of it now. But he
tried it out. And every now and then
he'll try it out cuz it was hard to meet
people where he was. So when I say,
"Okay, this man is smart.
He's successful. He's hardworking. He's
sober minded. If this type of man is on
a dating app, then I need to stretch my
mind and realize that not every single
man on there is trash. And I'm wrong for
coming out with a message and saying
every man on a dating app is trash.
because now I started to meet quality
guys that I'm mentoring and coaching who
were on dating apps. So that's what
growth is. That's what maturity is to
realize that everything is not a
one-sizefits all. So I'm not going to
stay arrogant and egotistical and stuck
in my ways when I see that the world is
changing because a dating app is not
inherently sinful. Because the dating
app, you're not selling your body.
You're not posting your vagina bare
naked. You're not doing sex videos. It's
it's no different than a social
networking thing except for it's only
for dating. So, I had to realize
Tony,
you doing like Dave Ramsey.
I had to realize I was becoming the Dave
Ramsey.
I got a coach in six minutes, y'all. So,
I got to go in a little bit. I had to
realize I was becoming the Dave Ramsey
of dating and relationships because Dave
tell you don't get a credit card. Don't
get a credit card. Don't get a credit
card. Now, his own students
Anthony O'Neal has a credit card.
Who is perceivably financially
responsible, financially successful, but
now he has a credit card. So, what
happened? What changed?
Why? How is somebody who your student
for years go get a go do the very thing
that you preach not to do?
Why? Because he evolved and he learned
it's nothing wrong with a credit card if
you don't abuse it. So what I had to
learn is nothing wrong with a dating app
if you don't abuse it. If you have rules
and regulations, you have standards
that you're going to stand on, things
that you're going to abide by, it's
nothing wrong with it if you're going to
do it safely and wisely. And so what I
did, I know that the people in the space
who created all the dating apps out
there, none of them are relationship
coaches. So I know they got into the
space for money. So I say if I'm going
to condone
getting on a dating app because you got
to realize it gets very depressing for
me to talk to thousands of women and
women are crying women are hurting women
because they don't have love. So, it
gets depressing for me to keep saying,
"Hey, go go go go out on Friday night,
sit at the bar, you know, have your
salad, have your water with lemon or a
little margarita if you drink, go to
Starbucks, do your work there, walk
around the mall." Like, I'm saying the
same thing over and over and over. And
then every woman say, "Tony, men don't
approach no more. Men don't approach."
So, what am I supposed to say then?
Well, just sit in Indian style and just
intercede and pray all the day and maybe
God will sanctify and consecrate the UPS
man to come to your door and knock on
the door and you and him could get
married because he just come out of a
divorce like Toré Robertson. You could
be Sarah Jakes. Like what am I supposed
to say? So at that point it's and then
I'm talking to women. They live in a
city where it's five men and they
already slept with all five of them or
they done dated all five of them or all
five of them is best friends with their
brother. So what I'm supposed to say
then
it's like my hands was tied and all I'm
doing is trying to help. So I say you
know what I guess a dating app is we
living in a world of AI. We living in a
world of social media.
The old school is not going to have to
work no more. It's not going to work.
So, I got some clients in my matchmaking
program and they be so impatient and I'm
like, "Listen, you've been single for 40
years. You come to me and you expect me
to find you somebody in 3 months?" Like,
I'm trying, but it's hard. And I'm
making the matches and I still got to be
extremely safe. So, it's going to take
time. It's going to take time. And
again,
they be boohoo crying or they get angry.
They get frustrated. So y'all got to
realize what's on me. So I had to create
the matchmaking app out of necessity
because I'm hearing the the the cries,
the the welps, the yells, the screams,
the hurt, the frustration. That's also
what birthed the purpose pushers
community because I'm like a lot of
women unfortunately are not going to get
married. And if you're done with
marriage, if you're done with
relationships and the video is about
that, shut up. Stay out of the comments.
Nobody need your negativity. Nobody
cares about what you're doing with your
life. Nobody cares if you're done. Don't
rain on somebody else parade. If
somebody else is still actively seeking
love, they want love and they want
strategies and tips and tools to do it.
Stay out the comments. Let them keep
their head up and keep going. this the
wrong channel for you because we talk
about love and relationships. So for
those of y'all who think I pander to
women and try to do anything to keep
women over here, I'm telling you to
leave. Pack your stuff and leave and
don't let the door hit you where the
good Lord split you because I got to
teach the message that God gave me. So
if somebody has a desire for love, I'm
going to be here to talk to you about it
and tell you what you need to do. And as
I get the download, as I see things
change, I'mma update you and I'mma tell
you this is the update. This is the
change. You got to do it wise. You got
to do it smart. Here go the rules. And
so I got a whole vid I got whole videos
on how to do online dating. How to do
online dating correctly.
I also got videos on why you shouldn't
get on a dating app. And so whichever
side you want to take, I got the
information there for you because
ultimately it's your choice. So I'm not
gonna tell you not to do something
knowing that you going to do it and then
you go do it and you're naked and
afraid. So I'm going to prepare you so
that you girded
and armored up so that when you get on
there, you safe because I prepared you
for what you was going to do. So that's
why I make the videos with the rules to
how to do the online dating and it's not
about money. Money is a byproduct of
being obedient to God and living your
purpose. So if God want me to become a
billionaire or a millionaire off of a
matchmaking app, then so be it. I'm not
going to tell him no. But the Lord know
what I do with it. He know the blessing
that I already am and he know the
blessing that I'll continue to be. So, I
ain't gonna argue with the Lord. But
guess what? As of right now, Destiny is
slow trickling. It's growing slow. We
had a couple thousand people sign up. We
growing the the male user base. And
guess what? It's not a lot of men that's
signing up. Meaning, it's not
equivalent. It's more women than men
because the men who are not serious,
they not getting on there.
So, it's taken us longer to get all of
the intentional single men who are
serious and ready and want to go through
the process. And that's exactly why I
created it. But it's so many women
that's impatient and frustrated and
still want instant gratification and
don't realize that's not how life works.
So, you got to wake up and smell the
folders in the morning and you got to
know that life don't work on your time.
You got to get in place, get in
position, and when it's time, God going
to bless you with what he need to bless
you with. But I'm a minute late for my
call. Make sure, put the link in the
description. Join us. Whether it's
purpose pushers, if you don't want love
and relationship, get in the Purpose
community. If you want love and
relationship, join Destiny link in the
description. If you need one-on-one
coaching, somebody say, "Tony, I need
coaching cuz I'm not joining the dating
app." Okay, congratulations. Here go a
cookie. Click the link for a one-on-one
coaching session. Then God bless you.
Whatever you need, I got it. I'm out
here just trying to serve and help.
Serve and protect like the police
supposed to be doing. God bless you.
Keep your head up. Keep going. Don't get
mad. Scratch your booty and get glad cuz
I'm going to tell you like this right
here. Ain't nothing changing over here.
So you might as well shut up. Don't even
get in my comments with your opinion cuz
I ain't changing nothing. I'mma stand on
my message and ain't nothing change
about my message but what the Lord tell
me to change. And when I change it, I'll
tell you why I'm changing it. But it
ain't nothing you say gonna make me
change my message. Gonna make me shut
up. Gonna make me back down. Gonna make
me sit down. Male or female, woman or
child, man or child, dog, gorilla,
horse, I'm not changing for nobody but
the Holy Spirit. So understand that
right there. And hush. God bless you.
Keep your head up. And I'm going to tell
you like this right here. The reason why
I don't say like and subscribe on the
videos because I don't care if you like
or subscribe. And so if you don't like
my message, buy the unsubscribe button
is for free. So understand that right
there. You want to get pandered to. You
want to hear what you want to hear. You
want somebody to lie to you. You want
somebody who only going to say what you
agree with and what you want to hear.
This not the page for you cuz I'm going
to give it to you real and raw. Male and
female. Any anybody could get it. The
men get their toes stepped on. The women
get their toes stepped on. At the end of
the day, I work for the Lord. Point
blank period. And that's not changing. I
have been out here 20 years and still
ain't change. Ain't nothing change but a
update. Just like the software update on
your phone and your computer. And so you
update when you get new data. When you
get new information, you got to update.
As long as you're not changing your
morals and your values. One thing you
will never hear me tell you to do is
start having sex before marriage, to
start getting in adultery, to start
worshiping other gods. But a dating app
is not a sin. You getting on a social
networking app is not a sin. You
fornicating is a sin. You adulterating
is a sin. You lying and cheating and
stealing
and killing is a sin.
So, I ain't going to lead you to sin,
but I'm going to lead you to growth and
to change.
