Who is EbonyPrince2K24?
Many people speculate that EbonyPrince2k24 might have been a former employee of the Mark Hotel. Despite accusations, EbonyPrince2k24 has denied stealing the items featured in the posts. Instead, he claims that a policy at the Mark Hotel permitted him to take these items after a certain period of time.

Additionally, in some tweets, he hinted at being fired, along with two others, likely from the Mark Hotel. However, these details remain unconfirmed at this time. The indoor location depicted in the security camera photo has been identified as the lobby of the Mark Hotel in Manhattan, New York.
The image supposedly captures Drake entering the hotel accompanied by two unidentified individuals, one of whom is Christopher Alvarez, a freelance reporter known for his work with the Queens Daily Eagle, a newspaper based in Queens, New York, among other publications.
Alvarez, who has a disability and uses a motorized wheelchair, often focuses his writing on issues related to living with his condition. The events that occurred at the Mark Hotel on January 22nd, 2023, remain shrouded in mystery. However, a user on X, identified as @certifiedjared, claimed in a widely circulated post that Drake was staying at the Mark Hotel on that specific day.

The post suggested that Drake’s presence at the hotel coincided with his performance of two shows at the nearby Apollo Theater. Despite this information, the exact details of what transpired at the Mark Hotel during that time remain unknown.
Following EbonyPrince2k24’s viral video post on Friday, online investigators endeavoured to pinpoint the location where it was filmed, using the skyline visible from the window as a starting point. Although not confirmed, users have speculated that the video might have been shot at Harriet’s hotel near the Brooklyn Bridge, a location Christopher Alvarez has previously shared videos from. Alternatively, some speculate that the video could have been captured inside Kendrick Lamar’s penthouse, also located near the Brooklyn Bridge.
Both viewpoints offer skyline vistas resembling the Manhattan skyline depicted in EbonyPrince2k24’s video. However, as of now, these speculations remain unverified.
