DJ Envy Addresses Fraud Allegations: "Uplifting the Community" Amidst Controversy
In a compelling twist of events, DJ Envy has come forward to address the allegations surrounding his involvement in a real estate fraud scheme that left investors out of millions. During a recent episode of his renowned radio show, "The Breakfast Club," Envy, known for his deep roots in the hip-hop scene, took the opportunity to profess his innocence, even against the advice of his legal counsel.
The DJ opened up the discussion by shedding light on his genuine intentions when entering the real estate arena and promoting Flip 2 DAO, a company associated with his former business partner and alleged fraudster, Cesar Pina.
"Listen, Ceasar and myself conducted seminars," the Queens native explained, emphasizing that the motive behind these seminars was to uplift the community and educate them about real estate, an area he wished he had more knowledge about when purchasing his first home. Envy's vision was to empower his community with insights into generational wealth and smart investments.
In his candid conversation with co-host Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy underlined that he was also a victim of Pina's unscrupulous business dealings, assuring the public that he would never exploit others in this manner. He expressed understanding for those who might have invested their money due to his association with Pina, as he had invested a substantial sum himself, without seeing any return.
Setting the record straight, DJ Envy firmly denied any direct involvement in Pina's activities, asserting that he had devoted nearly three decades of his life to radio, constantly striving to uplift and empower individuals with a business-oriented mindset. He emphasized his unwavering commitment to not taking advantage of anyone financially.
Earlier this summer, DJ Envy found himself named in a lawsuit involving Cesar and Jennifer Pina, accusing them of defrauding investors of $1.5 million in a real estate project in Paterson, New Jersey. Despite the legal entanglements, Envy continues to maintain his innocence and reinforce that he was not directly linked to the Pinas or their business dealings.
