Karen Civil accused of stealing $60K from rapper Joyner Lucas and threatening him

May 2024 · 7 minute read

Barely a few days after comedian Jessie Woo won the lawsuit against disgraced marketeer Karen Civil for defrauding her, rapper Joyner Lucas has come forward alleging that Karen had scammed him of $60,000 in 2015. In a series of tweets, Lucas unpacked elaborate details about how he was defrauded by the marketing strategist. He accused her of "stealing" the lumpsum amount of money at a time when his son was born and he needed a strong financial footing. "My son was on the way and you stole 60k from me before I got in the game @KarenCivil. I hired you as a consultant and below attached was the memo you sent me. I 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 tweeted, adding relevant documents to support his claim. 

Reportedly, Karen  stopped responding to his calls after he paid her the entire amount for consultant work around six years back. In further tweets,  Lucas elaborated, "After you got the money paid upfront, 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 againts the wall. You took advantage."

After Woo and Cameron Giles, Lucas becomes the third person to accuse Karen of scamming. Only earlier this week, the much-publicized legal battle between comedienne Woo and marketing maestro Karen finally drew to an end with the latter losing the lawsuit. Woo alleged that Karen booked her with a "non-existent company in order to obtain personal information". 

Lucas continued in his tweets about the ordeal he faced with Karen, adding, "At this time I was afraid to speak up for myself becuz I didn’t want to get blackballed. I had no idea how this industry Shìt works and I ain’t want you to drag my name thru the mud so out of fear i stayed . Until @Mr_Camron spoke up a few years ago on Twitter and then I did....After I spoke up, you had your peoples hit me directly and you tried to threaten me and then tried to make me write this fake ass apology and make myself look crazy to the public eye...."

"Smh I was broke and down on my last leg bruh. That 60k was literally my last effort to help me get on and you stole that from me when my son was born. The media protects you but wrong is wrong. At this time I had like 5k followers. What you thought I wasn’t gon pop @KarenCivil?...l'll never forget the day you went on vacation with my money and then picked up the phone when I called you because you went ghost, and you flat out told me “stop calling me I’m on vacation”.. you know how long I been waiting to do this? I been hating you for many years bruh."

"I been waiting like 7 years to do this shit. I kept telling myself “watch when I get on. She fucked up”.. these days I’m too rich & well off. My fam is good. Couple mansions paid for and all the dream cars you can think of. Owner of a 30m company @AppTully I can keep goin @Karen," he further tweeted.

Alongside the tweets, Lucas also outed Karen in a clubhouse room in the presence of a lot of members, including Cameron Giles and Karen herself. She earned immense flak for allegedly defrauding Lucas, as journalist Ernest Owens said, "Karen Civil admitted on Clubhouse that she hired a hacker to take down Jason Lee’s site. I don't care for either of him, but to be spending money on hacking another person is one of the most pathetic, disgusting, and lowest things you can do in this business. Girl, bye."

In the past, Karen has faced the wrath of the public on social media and in real life for her questionable actions like advertising a T-shirt with Derek Chauvin's face on it. She was slammed for being a hypocrite amid a tense situation that has seen thousands take to the street in protest. She also allegedly kicked a homeless person's cup, took a photo, and posted about it on social media.
