*DJ Envy and two New Jersey real estate influencers are facing lawsuits alleging real estate fraud.
Anthony Barone and Anthony Martini are taking legal action against Envy and his partners, Cesar and Jennifer Pina, who post real estate projects on social media, The Real Deal reports. The lawsuit accuses the trio of taking off with $1.5 million in investments for a planned 50-unit apartment project called Taylor Apartments.
The suits allege that Envy and the couple disappeared with the money without following up on the project. Posts on social media tipped Barone off to accusations that DJ Envy and the Pinas operate a Ponzi scheme, Hot New Hip Hop reports.
Despite COVID-19 being cited as a potential reason for the delay in the project, plaintiffs are still suing DJ Envy and his alleged accomplices for defrauding them.
Meanwhile, Rick Ross was quick to mock Envy after learning about the alleged real estate fraud, Hot New Hip Hop reports. The two entertainers have been beefing for months, thanks to their car show competition earlier this year.
“Time to tattoo that hairline too,” Rick Ross wrote under an Instagram post covering the lawsuits.
Back in May, Fat Joe weighed in on the Rick Ross and DJ Envy beef — calling on the pair to make peace.
“Don’t like what’s going on with Rick Ross and DJ Envy,” Joe said in a video shared on social media, Complex reports. “Don’t like it. I love ’em both. Beautiful men in their own right, successful, do their thing. I don’t like where it’s going. I know I’ve had my share of beefing with people, but I don’t like it because they’re both beautiful, beautiful people.”
We reported previously that Rick Ross and DJ Envy engaged in a war of words after the Breakfast Club co-host expressed doubts about the hip-hop star’s wealth.
As HipHopDX reported, Ross responded by taunting Envy’s family members in a video shared on social media.
“DJ Envious, you my cupcake. I’m not gon’ mop this ’til you mop my floors,” he said in the clip. “You’ve been a great co-host on the Charlamagne Tha God show,” he added. “You can come and mop my floors. Mop this marble out of respect.”
Ross added, “DJ Envy, you just gave me a good idea. I just told the people who are coming to clean up my pool to hold on ’cause I said Envy and his seven sons can come over here, y’all can handle this pool for the pool party, July 2nd,” he said.
