This may be the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. Apollo is upset that someone is trying to disparage “his brand.” Here is a brief backstory. On April 1st (I feel the date is very important) Someone named Chase DeCarlo contacted a tabloid saying that Apollo was being shady about attending an charity event in Chicago. Red Flag #1 it’s April Fools and there were all sorts of fake stories floating around everywhere. Red Flag #2 THE GUY’S NAME IS CHASE DE CAR (lo) (You many recall Apollo did time for stealing cars) Red Flag #3 The charity’s name is Dio Bambini (God Children) While there is a cult named Bambini di Dio (children of God), Dio Bambini seems like a weird name for a charity.
In the story the tabloid ran, the guy just said he had second thoughts about booking Apollo. That was pretty much his whole complaint. He never actually booked Apollo. Read flags #4 and #5. The whole story seemed like utter horseshit that never happened. I haven’t even touched on the whole likelihood of a reputable charity asking a convicted felon who is currently out on bond for a second group of felonies to speak to children. Or the fact that the date of the event is after Apollo’s next hearing where he is likely to take a plea deal and be incarcerated.
But then yesterday, Apollo contacted Radar and gave his version of the story. Apollo, who is clearly and idiot, basically confirmed the story. That was on April 2nd. I’m wondering now if this was supposed to be a serious story. Today, someone tweets me a link to this insane video where Apollo rambles on about “haters” and people who are unfairly trying to damage his brand. SERIOUSLY? Are we all now living in some sort of alternate universe where felons with limited educations and no speaking ability whatsoever are coveted speakers at children’s charity fundraisers?
Does his attorney know he is “coming hard” at people in videos on the Internet? What the fuck? I anxiously await “Chase DeCarlo” to jump out of the bushes and scream APRIL FOOLS! #idiots
And can we talk about him beginning with “Hi, I’m Apollo Nida, from RHOA” and then talking about Todd’s bachelor party? Because there is so much to say about this.
It’s just too stupid, TT. His brand? He is a moron. I can’t.
Where did he post this? Dummies.com?
Well said
I couldn’t even watch the video.
His parents must be soooooo proud.
This is the best story ever! You go Apollo. Chase De Car. Pure genius
OK…I decided to watch it and I am so.glad I did cause I can’t stop laughing. Thanks Tamara. It was hysterical.
LAUGHTER iS the best medicine.
and it burns calories too…CTFU!!
OMG he really thinks everyone cares. Can you imagine what Phaedra is saying to him and about him in private! Everybody knows this is what happens when you marry a man only because he’s good looking!!
Girl, you know it! He’s so dumb it cancels out his attractiveness.
LMAO…To funny
I just got a major headache,listening to this. You know. The loud vehicles in the background. Was a distraction. You know. This joker is no doubt a tool. You know. Smack ,smack, lick lips, smack lips, lick ,smack lips again. I’m outta here.
He speaks about THIS situation as ruining his brand? I guess federal indictments are good for his brand? …It’s funny how he points out that he “funds” his own projects. Um-hmmm…. I can’t with the rest of this video. He is too delusional. #STFUApollo
I have to run out for a bit. I’ll be amazed if this thing isn’t pulled down by the time I get back. No one can be this stupid. CAN THEY?

He is way past idiot. Like of all things to ruin your brand hmmm idk maybe that record of yours is a start. I’m more pissed at Phaedra for saying “I do.” I get it girl you wanted to dupe us on the pregnancy due date and please your parents but whoo! I know she keeps pills on deck for the many headaches this fool gives her.
Thanks for your spit on detective work,TT–in all ur work. So somebody who books Apollo is expecting a speech on how to turn your life around after doing jail time? What’s he got to offer except “You know. You know. You know”?
Funny though, he has NOT turned his life around. LOL
WHoever did this is pretty clever. Apollo is a moron and a thug. Phaedra should have known she could never make that pig’s ear into a silk purse. I laughed when he told Phaedra to be more juvial.
What about when he said that Kenya just wanted this to “be by-gone
Talking about people education or lack thereof, did you proof read this before publishing?
Nope! I barely had time to get it up before going to a meeting! You must be new.
Yep. I’m new. I was just curious.
Maybe Aryckah is applying for the proof reading job. Let me know if there are any job openings for the rest of us. 😉 (Sorry off topic)
Aryckah;
Did YOU proof read before YOU hit post comment?
You had a lil’ error there yourself.
We all make them.
@kaleesi : i see no error in aryckah’s post.
Yes her name is spelled crazy and it isnt cute or unique.
So, much like Nene Leakes you don’t understand possessive nouns?
Would that be like, let’s see…
People court?
People coop? (Only Oregonians get this one…)
People Choice Awards?
People Century? (naahhh, definitely not a PBS fan)
Wow, I can be a bitch but you’re just a total shit, aren’t you?
snapnoodle, not sure to whom you’re speaking. If you were addressing me, then, no. No, I am not a total shit. Just a piece of one. I like animals and old people. Pretty much everyone else can go scratch. And they like me, so no, I’m not a total loss.
I am old people with a dog! WINNING! 🙂

Thank God Apollo cleared that up. Otherwise, we might think he was unethical. P.S. Apollo — it’s 501(c)(3) not a 503(1)(c) — haha! Video was pure comedy.
Tamara , just gotta tell ya that I have so much respect for you & your blog! So happy that I found you thru another RH site (won’t mention) that I stopped reading due to such nasty negative posts & comments! I’m stuck @ home w chronic illness so feel some of your pain and just wanted to thank you for your fabulous thorough reports! Kudos! You have a new fan (which I’m sure you will have some witty comment ) & just wanted to say HUGE TY for bringing giggles Into some dark days! It’s refreshing to read truth that is well written VS what other bloggers write. Think we have similar humor so I won’t get offended if you comment back saying I’m brown nosing you!
I never post here but read it daily and just really wanted to say TY! Love your style & find you inspiring! That’s all ! Hope today is a good day for you and I promise I will PRESS that donate button . I know all too well about life changing experiences & wish you health!
Thanks my fellow crazy lady! And don’t worry about pressing the button! You have your own stuff to deal with. 🙂 I am doing MUCH better these days, hope you have a great day!

What’s his brand? How to be a criminal..wtf
Where is Phaedra when you need her? I will assume he did not read his advance copy of her book…etiquette works for men too!
Truth is stranger than fiction!
I’m fully convinced Phadra married this dude for his DNA. She should have got that in a to go cup and kept it moving.
Priceless!
Oh hellz, Mk, that was funny! To go cup, indeed!
Rotfl!
*dead
Best line in the whole stupid video, “As everyone knows I am married to an attorney, She is not my attorney but I am connected to a lot of attorneys.” I just bet you are Apollo. You have to be connected to a lot of attorneys to try and get out of those new charges. LOL
If Apollo is connected to a lot of attorneys, which one is collecting bribe money (cash only) from him in a parking lot?
“It’s complete erratic behavior.” (Wrong use of erratic, hun.)
“My stuff’s always official, my wife’s an attorney as everyone knows, she’s not my attorney, but, hey, i’m connected with many attorneys.” (Bahaha, did you just name drop, or maybe I should say career drop, your wife? She ain’t been doing too good a job keeping you official thus far.)
“No one’s ever said Apollo’s done bad business with ’em.” (Really? I bet those car lots and banks would say differently, as well as Kenya who tried to produce your video.)
“Y’know half of the businesses or projects I own, hell, I fund my own projects.” (Yes, Apollo, we heard. Stealing folks cars and retirement funds.)
I just can’t with this dude. Ignorance+ ego.
Apollo is hilarious when he misuses words to sound smart which is often. I get “juvial” at every one of his malapropisms. And the way he flashes the dueces at the end cracks me up. I just wish he ended that with “later homie.”
Dang TT, I’m at work and they don’t let us see videos any more.. Please keep it up.. wait I brought my tablet in.. let me see if i can get a good stream of wi-fi around here..
I know Phaedra is somewhere embarrassed and has thought of a good “southern” word for this besides.. I married an idiot.. because he can make beautiful children..! lolll
Tamara you deserve a donation to your happy fund because you just brought me life with this one.
Thanks Tamara, I needed a good laugh.
Can you believe this idiot?
“Funds his own projects”, yeah, with money you have allegedly stollen from retirement funds & automobile theft. Can you believe the delusion?
Black tie event? I would love to see the charity, that hired him to be a speaker at their black tie event….This looks like it was filmed on someone’s front porch, with all the cars going by in the background. you would think that since Apollo is such a big baller, he would have filmed it in his office, where he oversees his brand ….bwaa ha ha!
So driving back from lunch I just kept muttering Chase De Car, Apollo! I crack myself up!
OMG what an idiot – he’s going to speak to the kids who are evidently going to be dress in “black tie”
He says he speaks to children about not making the mistakes he did as being a victim of oppression. What was that oppression, he ate canned food?
I read the blog and the posts BEFORE I watched the video. Absolutely priceless! This is the funniest thing I have seen in months. I just can’t even imagine being married to someone this ignorant. He is a complete and total moron. For once I actually feel sorry for Phaedra. There is no way an educated woman could be happy with this guy. I am sure when they go out she gives him instructions NOT TO SPEAK! LOL
TT thank you so much for making my day and thanks to the TT family for the spot-on comments : )
Appollo Nida is a brand? Appollo Nida is more like a scam.
Did anyone notice that on Twitter, Nene is hyping Phaedra’s upcoming events and Kenya is hyping Cynthia’s?
Passive aggressive look at how the reunion probably shook out.
Should the children be tweeting this late? It’s bed time…
What “brand” does this child speak of? Apollo, enjoy your last days of freedom and stop this bullshit!
i think they took it down.
The next story to come out will be sent out by:
Rita Book
Or
Ann Tenna 🙂
Rip Meoff….Cash and Flo Low
His brand is called “CROOK” and “IDENTIFY THEFT”. This man is a perfect example of how the nation’s standards have sunk so low that even a stone con artist criminal who has caused an untold number of innocent people to suffer can be discussed in polite company as though he is one of us. There was a time when no one would have had anything to do with him because he is a crook. Now the crook is married to the lawyer who may also be involved in his notoriety (although she hasn’t been named in any indictment, I wonder how is it that she didn’t know something was amiss with this iimbecile coming home in a new Mercedes flashing thousands of dollars). To top it off, the lawyer who is married to the semi-literate crook has written a book on etiquette. Lord have mercy. You can’t make this stuff up. I wonder if Dwight will be paid by Phaedra to organize Apollo’s going away (to prison) party. To use a Phaedraism, “Everybody knows” Dwight gives the most cultured parties fpr Atlanta’s uipper class with the nicest flatware, china, crystal, and in this case, the centerpiece of the party will be a cake with handcuffs on them. The upper class party will be attended by two adorable little heartbroken boys who didn’t sign up for this. For that alone, an additional indictment should be handed down for inflicting life-long damage on two black boys who thought they were getting a real daddy and instead, got a mama who was hung up on light color, wavy hair and fair skin, and a daddy who never had any intention of “doing the right thing” after he got out of prison.
Sentiment, and meeting of the minds here. Annamaria!
@annamaria I think you have said everything that needed to be said!!
Amen,amen.
Still there at 8:30 est. I am going to get a smack down for this but gotta be real …he is FINE and has the thug swag for sure; hit and quit it for girls that are on mission. Phaedra f**d up cause she fell in love and bought into the game. He speaks better than a lot of RHOA players. Doesn’t say he’s a Rhodes Scholar but he ain’t the worse of the bunch. Not mad that he alluded to his mistakes and said he can share that experience. I often think the one’s who have overcome in our community don’t want to own those horrific mistakes that they both paid for and learned from. All lessons are not learned in the first teachings. Don’t know whether he is sincere but I like his grammatically challenging message. Shields Up
Oh dear god
Chase De Car Lo. OMG I am screaming. Is he really that stupid?
I’m just going to assume that is a rhetorical question..
503(1)(c)! Lol. I wish his lawyer wife would have told him that it’s a 501(c)(3).
I’m taking it to the streets!!! speak to the children? a black tie event? OMG!! this is the BEST!!! I watched and shared it we are dying over here…oh shoot, he’s gonna attack back!!!
OMG IT HAS LAYOVERS NOW. This is even better. “For someone to do this to me, it’s some erratic behavior…..no one has ever said that Apollo does bad business with him. lol.
At least no production company was involved with the video, that is The REAL Apollo. Lip licking and all….
On the floor giggling at this one. Its like he & a buddy were on a run for post-bachelor party hangover food, pulled to the side of the road to pee in the bushes and decide to just, you know, “keep the brand on the real” and shoot a video.
Yup! On Uncle Peter’s Obama flip phone…
Nothing relevant to say on this one. He’s doing his best to ensure his children are a sterotypical statistic.
Oh no he di’nt! That is utterly hilarious. When Apollo walks his balls much graze along the floor they are that big to think he can get away bleeting such utter crap and we will totally believe him and drink it all in. He ain’t that cute. And he would charge 2k to talk at a charity do “for the children” but can large it up to spend 5k at the strip club. Gtfoh.
It was hard to tell with all the traffic rolling by in the background. Where was he filming? In the back alley of Bar One on Peter’s Obama Phone? His “brand”, lol. Indeed!
His balls ain’t grazing ANYTHING but the bottom of the empty mayonnaise jar Phaedra keeps them stored in. Probably on a high dusty corner of an unused kitchen cabinet…..
I’d like to know, what charity would want him to come and speak to kids? What parent would want him to speak to their kids, he’s an ex con, not Oprah. If that charity got screwed, they deserve it.
It’s not a real charity. I think ROL and Apollo both got punked on April Fools. 🙂

Can’t believe that YOU picked-up on this when no one else did. The sixth sense is . . . . . EVERYTHING!
Buffoon.
How has his attorney wife not made his ass take this video off YouTube yet? Surely Phaedra knows it exists by now right?
Apollo Nida is delusional. But, hes a fine peice o MAN candy. If he were single n not delusional…..and not a Criminal. I myself would like to climb Mt. Nida. Haha! Truth. Anyway, I watched that n put him on mute after his first few idiotic sentences. Haha. I watched just the other day…him being cold towards his wife when they were on their Vacation to Mexico. She knows he doesnt love her and embarrasses her at almost every turn. When we all say a woman is worth something because she has a Man n is successful at relationships. You and I have to wonder what the price the Woman or man has to pay in the so called relationship. Eh? I truly felt badly for her when she looked defeated when she was sitting at her hotel room door. She expected for him to get her the key n he said he would send someone with the key. Bammm. He was feeling powerful n macho with the tequila surging thru his veins? He doesnt care about her or Kenya n himself for that matter. If he did, he would try to be a good Man and Father and Husband. It makes you wonder why they got Married? Things that make you go hmmmm? In the words of Evelyn Lozada. I think she said…..when a person is hung on themselves. That they are smelling their own peepee. Crass, I know. But, it means that they are FEELING themselves….which means….theyre egotistical. Lol. Street lang for how he behaves….sums it up best. Apollo Nida is his own worst enemy.
