Last month Joyner Lucas accused media marketing maven Karen Civil of illicit activities that included scamming and doxxing. Joyner claims he hired civil as a consultant back in 2014 to handle his marketing but she cheated him out of his money.
“was desperate for help and you knew that. After you was paid you went ghost and didn’t expect me to pop. Here I am,” he wrote in a tweet. “After you got the money paid up front, you stopped answering my calls & every time I hit you, you answered the phone with a attitude like I was messing up your day. I sent you hella messages pleading with you to do your job becuz my back was against the wall. You took advantage.”
During a recent appearance on Hot 97 with Ebro Darden, the “I’m not racist” rapper says he has spoken with Civil about the situation and agreed not to “keep dragging her name through the mud.”
“I wanna go on record to say that I spoke to Karen and I, at the time that I spoke to Karen, she had a lot of other—she had a lot of public scrutiny from a lot of other people and I started feeling bad a little bit,” he said. “‘Cause I’m like, damn. I don’t wanna… So, I stopped. I had a conversation with her and I promised her I wasn’t just gonna keep dragging her name through the mud, you know what I mean?
“At this point, I feel bad,” he continued. “I don’t wanna drag shorty name through the mud. I already made hella tweets about what the situation was, but I do wanna say that it was a point in my career where I was a very, very starving artist. I was trying to figure it out. I was trying to get in the game by any means and I was trying to figure out how to get in the game. I hired a few people, one being Karen and the way that that situation turned out in the end, I wasn’t a happy customer and I held a grudge.”
