Desus Nice Eviscerates DJ Envy On “The Daily Show”

October 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Desus Nice and DJ Envy had a feud back in the day. Overall, it played out at The Breakfast Club, and Desus’ former partner Mero was there as well. In fact, Envy had beef with both of them over comments they made on their show. Subsequently, there was a huge fallout from the confrontation. However, the internet was firmly on Desus’ side. Now, DJ Envy is being scrutinized for his alleged role in a real estate scam committed by Cesar Pina. As you can imagine, Desus is paying close attention.

This week, it just so happens that Desus Nice is the guest host on The Daily Show. The influential parody news show is looking for a new host, and Desus is being given a tryout of sorts. On last night’s episode, he tackled the DJ Envy case. Overall, he took a sarcastic tone, saying the story was “very serious” despite laughing through the segment. Additionally, he referenced their previous feud, noting just how much he is reveling in all of this.

Desus Nice For “The Daily Show”

“It’s definitely not funny. There’s certainly nothing personal that makes it funny to me. It’s not like RaaShaun accosted me on the radio for making a little joke about him and his wife, which I only thought we were friends,” Desus said. “It’s not like he called me ‘d*ckhead’ and then got so mad he locked himself in the studio for the rest of the show and then told the building security I was a threat. But even if that happened, that’s all in the past.” Needless to say, it couldn’t have been better timing for Desus to host the show.

Recently, Cesar Pina told his followers that Envy is completely innocent in all of this. However, an investigation is currently still pending. Give us your thoughts on the Desus segment, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Erica Mena Details Affair With DJ Envy: “I Got A Phone Call From The Wife”

October 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Erica Mena has spoken out about her 2013 affair with DJ Envy, revealing that she was unaware he had a wife until she received a phone call from Gia Casey. The former Love & Hip Hop star reflected on the relationship during a new interview with Carlos King.

“That came out right when I got on Love and Hip Hop, and we had just broken up because the wife found out, which I was totally oblivious to. I knew about the kids, mind you; I have a kid, but I have a baby daddy, and it’s more common where we come from to have kids, but you’re not married; you just got a baby mama,” she told Carlos King. Mena added: “I knew about the kids, and it was always told to me [she was] his kid’s mother, never wife. And I didn’t get that realization until I got a phone call from the wife.”

The comments come amid a rough stretch for both Mena and Envy. Mena was recently fired from Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta after using racial slurs during an argument with Spice. DJ Envy, on the other hand, is currently wrapped up in a scandal of his own after his longtime business partner, Cesar Pina, was arrested for fraud, last weekend. Check out Mena’s comments on her fling with DJ Envy below.

DJ Envy Is Innocent, Claims Cesar Pina In New Video

October 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

DJ Envy and Cesar Pina are two names that have dominated hip-hop discussion. Overall, it has to do with Pina and his alleged real estate scam. He was arrested and subsequently released on bond last week. However, Envy is now being questioned for his alleged role in all of this. After hosting seminars with Pina, many believe Envy is guilty. Last night, Pina went on a livestream and did his best allege Envy’s innocence.

“You have all these people being coerced to sue people affiliated with me just because they are a bigger name,” Pina said. “That’s the situation that breaks my heart. In all these lawsuits, these 20 lawsuits, DJ Envy was never in the room with me. DJ Envy has nothing to do with any of these 20 lawsuits of these people that are suing me. It f**king sucks, bro. It pisses me off that all these people are bashing DJ Envy…What you gotta understand is, DJ Envy is so successful in hip-hop, as far as a DJ, that people just don’t like him.”

Cesar Pina Talks DJ Envy

Subsequently, he spoke on a recent statement from Envy’s lawyer. Overall, Massimo D’Angelo is claiming Envy is a victim. However, Pina does not see it that way at all. “I understand his attorney, his defense to DJ Envy is a victim. That’s the dumbest sh*t I ever heard in my life,” Pina noted “Me and him were partners in the real estate seminars. We are partners in a couple of real estate transactions. That’s it. He’s not a victim. He was my partner. He was an investor.”

These statements could go a long way in helping Envy get out of this matter. However, it still remains to be seen whether or not the law will see it that way. Let us know what you think of this situation, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world.

DJ Envy To Cooperate In Cesar Pina Case, Attorney Calls Radio Host A “Victim”

October 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

DJ Envy is currently being investigated as part of the arrest of Cesar Pina. For those who don’t know, Pina stands accused of running a real estate scheme. Overall, it is alleged that Pina committed wire fraud and stole money from investors. Envy was Pina’s business partner and the two could be seen in various videos together. However, Envy has maintained his innocence this whole time. In fact, he believes he is a victim in all of this as Pina made off with his money, as well.

This belief was recently corroborated by Envy’s lawyer, Massimo D’Angelo. While speaking to XXL, D’Angelo explained that Envy believes he is a victim. Furthermore, he intends to cooperate completely with the investigation. “DJ Envy is a victim of the purported fraudulent real estate scheme and sits in the same shoes of the other victims, and, of course, he will assist and cooperate to get his investment back, along with those of the other alleged victims,” D’Angelo said to XXL.

DJ Envy Maintains Innocence

Overall, this statement by D’Angelo is very much in line with everything else that Envy has said in the past. For instance, Envy was on The Breakfast Club where he said all he wanted to do was “uplift” his community. Although his legal representation has told him to stay quiet on all of this, he does seem eager to clear his name. Given his connections to Pina, and the public videos of the two together, a lot of damage has already been done in the public eye.

This is still a developing story with plenty of moving parts. Having said that, be sure to stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed. Additionally, let us know what you think of all this, in the comments below.

DJ Envy, real name RaaShaun Casey, is a co-defendant in multiple lawsuits filed by investors who say they were ripped off by Pina in an elaborate Ponzi scheme.

Envy and Pina held seminars to lure hundreds of investors to flip distressed properties for profit. But investors say Pina took their money and ran. DJ Envy also promoted the seminars on iHeart Radio’s popular Breakfast Club morning show.

Many victims said they invested with Pina because DJ Envy was his business partner and they trusted Envy.

But DJ Envy denied any involvement in the Ponzi scheme. He said he’s also a victim because he gave money to Pina.

Jose Santiago and his wife, Jessica Ortiz told News 4 they invested $200,000 in a Paterson, NJ property that Pina claimed he owned.

“He’s advertising this all over radio and television, so I thought this was legit,” Santiago said.

Nigel Chamblin said he invested nearly $1 million in several properties that Pina claimed he owned. But Pina didn’t own any of the properties.

“There were other people investing in these exact same properties,” Chamblin told News 4. “It was a scam, it was a lie.”

Envy is being accused of taking part in a real estate scam with his business partner, Cesar Pina. Pina has been arrested already, although he is currently out of jail on bond. However, Envy continues to be investigated, and many are curious as to what is going to end up coming of this.

On Joe’s podcast, he jokingly gave props to Envy for continuing with his job over at Power 105. “I got to give it to Envy,” Budden began. “He’s still at work talking about ‘Morning!’ We as the audience like, ‘N***a, you can shut up with that. It’s over for all that. Today is the day of reckoning. It’s over for all of that. The Feds is pulling up n***a.” Eventually, Budden got serious and spoke about just how serious all of this is right now.

Joe Budden Has A Laugh

“I think this is very very severe,” Budden said. “I’m not certain I’m not certain how big this is but I think it’s going to be way bigger than this. I’ve been telling you and you that for months,” Budden added, pointing at two of his co-hosts. “I think this is barely scratching the f*cking surface and I’m giving grace by just reporting on this.” Overall, Budden is very curious as to how it will play out. As for his co-hosts, they understand full well that this is not good, in the slightest.

There is still a lot that needs to be reported in regard to what is happening with Envy. Although some people are quick to allege he is guilty, there is a lot that still has to be figured out. Hopefully, we all get some answers, very soon. Let us know what you think of this situation, in the comments section down below.

iHeartRadio’s Job Post Sparks Speculation Of DJ Envy’s Replacement Amid Ponzi Scheme Investigation

October 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Popular radio station iHeartRadio has recently ignited speculation surrounding DJ Envy, one of the hosts of The Breakfast Club, following reports of a federal investigation into real estate fraud. This observation has led many fans to assume the worst. What’s For Breakfast? As the investigation unfolds, iHeartRadio has posted a job opening for a new […]

Here’s What To Know About DJ Envy’s Alleged Real Estate Ponzi Scheme

October 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Power 105’s studios in New York City have been the site of plenty of drama related to The Breakfast Club, but last week, things got even wilder when the iHeartRadio station’s office was raided by federal agents who confiscated electronics as evidence in an investigation involving Breakfast Club co-host DJ Envy.

Unlike fellow DJ Drama, who once had his own studios raided by the feds, Envy’s case is not related to illegally obtained music or record industry pettiness. Instead, Envy is allegedly tied to a real estate Ponzi scheme that prosecutors claim “defrauded dozens of people of millions of dollars.” One arrest has been made so far: Cesar Pena, who occasionally appeared on The Breakfast Club under the moniker “Flipping NJ” and supposedly flipped properties in New Jersey with DJ Envy, was arrested for his role in the scheme. The complaint against him mentions “a well-known disc jockey and radio personality.”

According to Billboard, Pina bills himself as a real estate guru on social media, often posting photos with hip-hop stars like 50 Cent, Post Malone, and Snoop Dogg, and claims on his website that he owns 1,100 rental properties in Paterson, New Jersey. He appeared on The Breakfast Club as a guest of Envy’s and co-hosted a series of real estate seminars with him starting in 2018. In May of this year, though, he was accused on Instagram of using this celebrity to fool people into investing in properties with the intent of flipping them, and then keeping the profits for himself.

Those accusations turned into a spate of lawsuits filed against Pina from sources including record industry veteran Anthony Martini, who previously invested in the company behind controversial virtual rapper FN Meka. Martini’s lawsuit and another included DJ Envy for his role in promoting Pina’s companies on-air. Envy is named in nine of the twenty lawsuits against Pina.

Envy addressed the accusations, on The Breakfast Club, claiming to be a victim himself. “Cesar, if he took money, I wasn’t privy to it, nor did I even know,” he said. “But I do understand how people feel if they did give him money because I gave him a lot of money [and] I didn’t see a dollar of return. But for anybody to say that I was involved, that’s totally not true.” He’s also filed legal arguments to that effect, saying he was not involved in the deals that defrauded investors and that he’s lost $500,000 of his own in dealings with Pina. His lawyers also argue that just because he endorsed Pina shouldn’t make him liable. He also sued one of his accusers for defamation.

DJ Envy Trolled By Fans For Offering Free Chain In Resurfaced Real Estate Investment Clip

October 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

DJ Envy is coming under fire on social media for a resurfaced video in which he and his longtime business partner, Cesar Pina, offer a free chain to those who attend a financial advice seminar in Atlantic City. The social media trolling comes after Pina was arrested for wire fraud amid accusations that he de-frauded would-be investors with an alleged real estate Ponzi scheme.

“DJ Envy and his co-defendants were giving their victims chains,” a tweet sharing the video reads. In the clip, Envy explains that he and Pina are “gonna be giving one lucky person one of these chains,” at the event. He continues: “Now, these chains are serious. Whoever we give these chains to, in our camp, or our friends, they own properties and they invest. So, we’re gonna be giving one lucky person one of these chains.”

Pina was arrested by federal agents over the weekend. According to court documents obtained by ABC 7, “Pina and his business partner, a well-known disc jockey and radio personality, operated a company that conducted real estate seminars around the country. Together, they used [DJ Envy’s] celebrity to promote various real estate enterprises that Pina controlled.” Lawyer Alexander Schachtel added: “He also very aggressively and vocally promoted Mr. Pina as his business partner on social media.” Pina has pleaded not guilty and is out on a $1 million bond.
