The episode that aired on August 19 delved into the ongoing controversy surrounding FIFTY FIFTY.

During the show, 'Unanswered Questions' production team unveiled interviews with individuals involved in the controversy, such as FIFTY FIFTY's family members, officials from the music industry, staff from the labels involved, and more.
