- Popular radio host DJ Envy is under scrutiny for promoting a real estate venture of a friend that some investors now say was a scheme.
On his syndicated iHeartRadio show "The Breakfast Club," Envy has often promoted the real estate venture of his pal, Cesar Pina. But it's more than just a passing endorsement.
The fact that Envy hasn't been forced to resign from the Breakfast club after all this is really crazy...
Thats how you know he aint going to jail
Once that lawsuit stacks up they'll fire him
Promoting a scam on FCC airwaves will get him caught either way
Dude said resign lol .. or fired … this is free publicity radio station can care less it’s his name on it ratings probably going up … go ahead boy commited another crime
They're liberals, remember? "If you don't vote for me then you ain't Black" said Joe Biden to their faces. Feminists are right about 1 thing, liberal guy's are wimps.
If you have $200,000, why wouldn't you flip your own house ?.
$200k isnt enough to do your own flip for many reasons. Maybe the property costs more than $200k or maybe the material and labor costs more than $200k or a combination of the two. Plus you'd have to be involved with the management of the flip.
@@Cee_Nelly there are bungalows worth $100,000 to buy outright and taking another $100,000 to flip it to apartments or rooms for rent with or without extending size of home is easily managed. Hang your hat where your hand can reach
Yea, I thought about that too. If you have $200 K, buy your own damn house.
30% in 4-6months is a big red flag, especially when the profits are split, should have known not to invest with an ex-con
that was 200k of imaginary money that they were trying to double or triple to make into real money(profit). they wanted the get rich quick scheme.
Never trust a DJ named Envy 😂😂😂
Theoretically and Literally you shouldn’t. You right Right…
Never trust hood ninjas.
@@tambert3897never trust anybody.
@@tambert3897 if u count DJ envy hood then I say pigs can sing the alphabet
Never trust a dj period😂
This is what happens when you put your money on people with status i.e. celebrities instead of doing your own due diligence, real research and checking on proven results over a matter of years🤷🏾♂️
Agreed
Stop worshipping celebrities!
Thank you! These people are a quick train ride away from Charles Schwab, Goldman, Vanguard, Wall Street- they could’ve met with banking experts and asked questions without a dime leaving their wallet, but they choose to align with the celebrity that dazzles them.
I do everything by my mf self
Exactly. I bought my house 7 years ago by myself by doing lots of research. It's not hard to flip houses either just research.
“Where’s the money”, she’s wearing it 😂😂
And Italian restaurants who knows
And Cesar is eating it.
@@philanderphillips2309😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good Morning It's DJ Scammy!!😆😆😆😆
😂😂😂😂😂😊
Lmfaoooo
They all should be in jail for this scam. Envy used a platform to take people’s money. Even if he didn’t receive cash in hand, he was the face and the recruiter of potential victims.
Exactly 👍🏼👌🏼.
Facts thats how you know Envy not even going to jail he still got a job
Agreed 1000 percent!!!
With his media platform promotion lots of ppl would not a buy into this Real Estate ponzi sceam😢
He for sure took peoples money. He was the co founder of the company with Cesar.
No he didn’t your facts are all wrong lol
Ok so who's Donkey of The Day Today?
Iheart media for not suspending envy
Wearing a Chanel sweater that probably cost upwards of about 3K (if not more) while on camera discussing your husband’s Ponzi scheme probably wasn’t the brightest idea. 😭
Greedy people
Same thing I said!
Reporter literally asked her "Where's the Money"🤔🤔🤔
@@m.newton556 just dumb 😂
First thing I noticed 😆
Dj Envy definitely knew what Cesar was doing 🤦♂️ they both shared office space sometimes
👍👍
😂😂😂 he said sometimes like you was the janitor
@@krownheightsgang7053 fly on the wall 🙄
That means absolutely nothing. You’ve share a house with people at some point they didn’t know your secrets.
PLEASE let’s be real.
@@jnigelm this ain’t no house bro it’s a office space you can literally hear the phone calls and negotiations
Not even envy's lawyer can save him.
He's going to be very liable for promoting this Real Estate Ponzi😮
He get out of it
Nope
Im looking forward to an snl skit
Envy gonna be get his cheeks busted
The Problem DJ envy is having is that you have to know what your business partner is doing to a liable degree...raining ignorance doesn't exempt you from copability.
Even if Envy comes out clean from these lawsuits, this tarnished his credibility so badly. No one will feel comfortable doing business with him on this type of scale.
Did anyone do any due diligence?? I don't care if my mama recommends something, you always do your own research...Pena looks shady as hell and Envy looks smart as a lamp post.
Your comment was disrespectful to “Lamp Posts”.
Realest chit I’ve heard on the subject yet. 🙌
Sarah Wallace is the truth! Iron clad questions no sugar coating!!
Envy knew what was up! Just as guilty 🤷🏽♀️
Yup, when I was commenting that Envy and whats his face were Scammers, they called me a hater. 😂😂😂😂😂 I've been in Real Estate Investing for over 20 years, and I could tell right off the back, what they were doing was illegal.
I believe you.
Rule of thumb, people who are making money won't willingly advertise how they're making it. I feel bad for these people though, there should be something done.
Say it louder for the folks in the back!!
I never heard Bill Gates say: "I became the richest man in the world, and this is how you can do it too", now buy my seminar.
@@caisersoze2003 lmaoo fax
Without you PAYing them to do the same thing. But this all was rushed and people did not investigate enough.
DJ Envy knew. He has to be humbled. He is an arrogant individual. Well wishes to the people who lost money. I pray they get their money back. He definitely did advertise it on the radio show.
Very. I remember how he came for Tyrese.
@@phyllislowe3942Tyrese getting the last laugh. God don’t like ugly. Now he so called box the mouths of inmates 😂😂😂
@@NinaSimone3 Amen
I can't say I feel sympathy for these people. A radio host celebrity and a random guy began advertising a money making scheme and you decided to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars, for some of you, thats your life savings.
Lesson: never buy a product or services being pushed or promoted by a celebrity. They're not objective.
I couldn’t agree more! Don’t trust celebs or pastors.
You are Monday morning quarterbacking here. This was not a situation in which DJ Envy and his friend jumped up one day and said, "Hey, gimme money" and people forked it over. No. Instead, they held "seminars" in which they "taught" principles of property investing. Most of the persons thought they were receiving legitimate information about how to invest in property. Lots of them were the first persons in their families to be able to own anything, and their knowledge about the different ways people get scammed in real estate was limited. Years before this scam came up, I bought books from amazon on how to invest in property, but also wanted to learn from others who had done it. What I found is that there are lots of people will pretend to know a lot about investing, and will demand tens of thousands of dollars from you to share their knowledge (as this dude Cesar did). Thankfully, I didn't have tens of thousands of dollars to give up, so I couldn't get scammed in that way. The few "educational" courses that I ended up taking were not worth the money; they were produced by people who provided very little useful information because they don't want to create competition and they don't ever want you to learn enough not to be dependent on them. Because people are so crooked and work to take advantage of new investors, it's best to find an accountant who will go over the pros and cons of something you may wish to consider purchasing, and to take real estate courses from a university, not from these jokers on the internet who claim to "mentor" new investors. There are some good channels on youtube that will provide helpful info, too. I did not participate in this scheme promoted by DJ Envy and his partner, in part because I have developed a distrust of people who hold themselves out to be "mentors", but can see how others fell for it due to lack of knowledge of how dishonest so many people in real estate really are.
For you to say you feel no sympathy for people who thought they were educating themselves, and who spent money it took them YEARS to save is really cold hearted. First generation investors are doing their best to get education about investing from somewhere, and they don't always know when a scammer has crossed their paths until their money is gone.
@@philanderphillips2309yes
Right. Common sense is a rarity nowadays. I saw them coming more than a mile away.
Envy should step down from radio or fired 🤔
Yea I agree! Breakfast Club to me was always ignorant
Why would they fire Envy when he hasn't been convicted of anything? People who think like you are dangerous people.
"Where is the money?"
She wearing it- dont u see her Chanel sweater??😂😂
This crazy!!! They both should be in jail… SMH!!! Stealing from ur own people… They both ain’t shit & then the wife doing an interview in a Channel sweater is a slap in the face!!! 🤬🤬🤬
Stealing from anyone is wrong
Thats literally what I said, its so tone deaf and a big f you to everyone
For real
😂😂😂 right? i would of did that interview wearing something from walmart. she got alotta nerve!
Top label but not a good look.
It’s hard for DJ Envy to keep himself out of it after asking people to come and invest with them. You can’t say us and then say you have nothing to do with it when things go bad.
Exactly!!!!
Sure he can .. listen to how he speaks on a daily basis at his job .. if he can prove he was scammed outta 500 000 not much they can do because clearly he was taken advantage of if that's the truth... Most likely not but possible
They all invested in the same property🤦🏾♀️.
lmfaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I knew it was a scam when they promised me i would get a 30% profit on prime real estate on the moon 🌙 😅😂
😅😅😅😅
It’s time for him to get the donkey 🫏 noise 😂
Smh… I hope the victims get their money back and these crooks need to pay
You know that’s not happening
@@sportinlife1😂😂😂
She called DJ Envy a “Radio Rapper” !! 😂😂😂
Cant trust a real estate agent thats a dj 😮
Put him in jail
Any social media handle that goes 'Flippin'" anything is a scam artist. It's like he was telling y'all beforehand
It’s appropriate. “Flippin” your money for themselves.
DJ Envy's lawyer is full of it. If DJ Envy can promote Caesar on his radio show. He can inform future victims not to invest.
And Caesar's wife is also full of it. Investors have been waiting years for their returns. But she wants them to continue waiting. And she's a co-owner in Caesar's company so she knows where the money is. Just look at her on social media with all those expensive cars, jewelry, and clothes. 🤥
And dj envy picked the worst lawyer to represent him. Could he not look like any more of a weasel. Just looking at his face I would want nothing to do with him. He has not one likable trait.
Looked like Anthony Weiner.
My car got damaged in an accident, my co-worker of 5yrs recommended his friend's shop. Went there, they did a bad job. Moral of the story. Friend of a friend is not your friend. Keep your antennas up at all times!
DJ Envy is not a victim! I can’t wait until the Breakfast Club and Envy are cancelled completely!
Angela got the hell out of dodge right on time 🏃♀️💨
@@edub9930Damn she really did though
Its an Ignant radio station
FACTS!!!
Funny that Mrs. Pina is wearing CHANEL while saying She does not know where the money is
Go to all of their bank accounts and you will see where the money is!!! It's cut and dry
It happens. 4 months 60k should have been a red flag. It will all work out in the end. Prayers out to everyone involved
It’s the beginning of the end of the Breakfast Club
Was Peter Rosenberg was effect by it
@@FrankieefootballmundialNah he's in hiding , the jihadi's are on his ass
I'm glad.....that shit show been over fkem
Ugh! This makes Realtors, like myself, cringe!
Aspiring investors, at the least…
Contact a real estate attorney (to confirm contract is legal and desirable), title company (to confirm property is cleared to transfer), home inspection (is the property health and hazard free), appraisal (is the property worth the money).
You never give cash! When you cut corners, this is what you get. Folks that are willing to do the same.
FSBO (property sold by owners) will likely be these “flipper” gems and therefore, you could be on your own to figure out how to proceed.
A Realtor would help navigate this. But if you want to go at it alone..start with a real estate attorney in your local area.
I seen one guy that did have an attorney
@nomanejanee5766
Then that lawyer should be the source of explanation as to why their advice was a source of misinformation. Maybe legal action.
An attorney should be able to legally guide. That’s why you want to hopefully employ other steps of protection as mentioned.
If they had an attorney and also check he title, they would have seen the discrepancy.
The real question is, what happen to all those millions of dollars?
Envy wearing them around his neck
Being spent on those thieving goons and their families
Here DJ Envy was trying to lecture Larry Elder on the hardships of Black people attempting to purchase property and look who's ripping off people from his own community 💩🤨💸💰💲
I always wondered how this dude was rich by just being a radio host
🎯 Agree too! Yes he’s on a syndicated radio show and he makes money outside of that but his lifestyle is too big compared to other dJ’s in large radio market cities: ALL his cars, 6-7 kids, don’t know how many houses he has but it never added up to me.
Interesting Query!!!
Means he had his hands in a lot of shitty stuff...and this one just cracked the surface🥺
Scamming folks.
He's a nationally syndicated radio host.... That's real money six to seven figures
@@philtherealdeal100 so you're justify his salary? All he does is talk 💩 all day. Nurses, firefighters, etc. should get the same or more as this dude.
Anyone who invested in them only did so because they are celebrities. That’s what you get
This mans office was 5 ft away and he didnt know what was going on, stop, also victims were goibg to office to confront, he didnt see anything ever?
Thank you im like how is the news not talking about this 😅
Envy is to Blame for this ,should be held responsible. I see steel bracelets in his Future. Nobody would have invested with Pina if it wasnt for Envy.
Exactly 👌🏼👍🏼!
You mean DJ Envioussssssssssss the baige rage 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 RR
that guy has some nerve trying to sue tony closer, just because he got exposed for the role he played, now he wants to claim defamation and slander...smdh🤦♂️
Envy got scammed too clown 🤡
@@altheadawn2531 Yeah we are waiting on those receipts or are you just going on his word like all the people that got Scammed ? Oh yeah why Envy suing people for talking about it on podcasts but not suing Cesar Pina for stealing $500k from him ? Lol you a whole Clown 🤡
Envy should be charged and fired from the radio station, weeks ago he's the reason why people knew about that guy Cesar
If you were driver and your friend commit a crime and you driving him around you’re in the crime too
Yep!!
At some point you just have to come out say I messed up I apologize and the best I could do is help you get your money back. As far as Flippin New Jersey, he’s probably going back to jail unfortunately. The only way dj envy could save face, and not look like a weasel is to apologize and help everyone out. let’s face it nobody needs a 20,000 square-foot home and no one also needs 15 or 20 exotic cars time to pay the piper.
lol no lawyer would ever advice a client to apologize and try to get the money back. That’s admitting guilt. The courts will get the money back, don’t worry about that. But don’t advice your client to own up to what they did 😂. Even if he’s sorry it’s how the system works - he’ll never apologize until the case is over 😊
🗣Repent Israelites all praise to the most high YAHAWAH AND HIS SON YAHAWASHI🤴🏽🦁🔥🛸
The so called black man, Latino, and Native Americans are the Israelites. Yahawah chosen people. That are scattered in all nations through our fathers. Making them Israelite foreigners/Scattered sheep/The multitude.

“But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Deuteronomy 7:6 “For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth

“For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
Isaiah 14:2
“And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

“For Esau is the end of the world, and Jacob is the beginning of it that followeth.”
Bro is doing damage control like crazy lmaoo. You attached your name professionally and marketed while introducing people to him…claiming you had nothing to do with it. Bro getting sued.
I invested $300K because my radio host aDJ friend told me that this ex convict is a great investor. The ex convict said he learned the game from someone in prison.
I Didn’t see any of this coming.
- Ray Charles
The guy admitted to be a felon. Why would these people believe that several people can invest in one property with a 30% return. They’ll never get their money back.
Exactly. I'm dumbfounded by that fact.
The reason why he won't come out against Pena is that he knows that the other guy will throw him over and under the bus and he knows what that will do to his career...FIRED!!!
Dj envy is the worst ....
Too bad for that lawyer there's hours of video of Envy promoting the scam, and actively saying he's one of the ones making moves to increase the money.
DJ Envy would not be my financial advisor.
They should all go after envy and sue the corporation that owns that radio show the breakfast club. He used that platform to con people.
Interesting if that could be done.
Explain what fraud means for those that don't know
-DJ Envy
And He got nerve to Tell us how to live
How dare Cesar's wife do an interview..Ma'am the victims don't want to hear from you..where's your husband
In a Chanel sweater at that.
You deserve donkey of the day
If you thought somebody that plays records was a real estate mougal 🤣👏
- You should ask yourself what does a DJ knws about flipping houses
Yep!!
lmao even the dude that was supposed to be the "brains" of the operation looks sketch as hell. Sorry but if you gave them money you kinda got what was coming to you.
This is why i never invest with any famous people. They dnt know shyt.y mucho meno con hispano lol
😂😂😂
I don’t think Dj Envey is the type to do that if that’s the case he would have been doing this because envy been into real estate long before the Pina dude came along. Right now envy is doing what any lawyer tells their client don’t speak about it. I’m the end Envy will be vindicated
Radio Rapper? LOL, What?! Call him whatever you want, he's SCREWED!!!
The jailhouse club 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
I love this reporter. Where's the money??????😅😉
DJ Envy is responsible also 💯 let’s break it down as recruiter & pimp. Envy needs to find prospects for Caesar (pimp) he goes and uses his platform at his job to recruit, reaches out to his friends in the industry..gives them a sales pitch and once they’re hooked he passes them off to Caesar (pimp) You can’t tell me Envy isn’t getting some type of kickback from all this.
Dudes finna end up on "American Greed" 😂
All day!!
When he walks in his cell he gonna be like "WUDDDDUP ITS YA BOY DEEEEEEEEJAYYYYY ENVEEEEEEEEY
Who would have thought someone named "Envy" could be crooked?
Dj envy has to be held accountable for something he has plastering Cesar all over the radio and his Instagram and people would have never invested with Caesar if it wasn't for envy
All these ppl who claim to be so pro blackity black sure do make sure to get a non black lawyer when them indictments and lawsuits hit
Say it again!!!!!
It is greed that made these "victims" get sucked into this scam. There is NO SUCH THING as guaranteed returns when it comes to investments. Most of these people actually took out loans to make payments into this scam! Smh!
This mentality is exactly why scam victims don't come forward and ppl like Pina scams get bigger and bigger.
@@Gigi-fp8pd , people have to start taking responsibility for their actions. These scams are 100 percent preventable if the victims did their due diligence before giving a penny to these scammers!
Envy got paid
& when he in jail, his wifey finna get laid 😂
They don't call him envy for nothing 🏡
Never give financial advice. Just say your opinion, but don’t advice them to spend.
I often purchase houses from mediocre DJ's.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂☀️😬joke is over now give me my money back
I see what you did there!
Star has confirmed that this clip made Envy start snitching. This is nuts
Dj envy definitely promoted the deals. Shouldn’t get time like Cesar Pina but should definitely do time behind bars.
“I don’t know where the money is” as she stands there in a $3,000 sweater 😭😆🤷🏽♂️
“It’s FAKE news!” Is a terrible defense Envy 😂
At the end of the day Rick Ross neighbors can hear him laughing daily ………look how he made this wing stop 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Damn!! Tyrese was right!!😂😂😂
The NBC reporter ate the lawyer up😂😂
People blaming the victims for not doing due diligence, but what else can you do? They signed the legal contract I’m sure lawyers were involved this could’ve happened to anyone you could get scammed by anyone and that’s what this is. This is a word-of-mouth I gave someone money under the table thing, this is people who bought signed the contract and then the person on the other side didn’t abide by the contract. You can’t blame the victims for that. Only blame dj envy, and Flippin New Jersey. The best envy could do right now is apologize and try to help get their money back. If Cesar really has that much property time to sell them and repay the people you owe.
Ignorance is no excuse. Whenever anybody offers you more than 10% return within 3-6 months, you know they scamming. People in the community like to play the victim olympics too much.
The victims are to blame for drinking the Kool-aid. As the other poster pointed out, a guaranteed ROI should ALWAYS be a red flag. Every investment comes with a risk of total loss, and people who don't understand that basic concept should not get into the investment game, period. So you can either be sensitive about so-called victim blaming, or you can be grateful that stories like this exist to educate other would-be targets of these scams.
@@obrienortega6942a lot of people aren’t from “the community”. There are tons of people who were scammed by Ceaser and Envy that had lawyers and knowledge of the business. Madoff victims weren’t new to money either.
When someone plans to do wrong, paper work won’t stop them.
DJ Envy and his buddy Cesar who is on the lamb, are guilty AF!
Whew this was rough to listen to. I hope all the victims get their mony back. Envy to me was always a sketchy ass dude
Never trusted a grown man who refers to himself as Envy. Like wtf?
My dad sold and flipped fixers all the time and it is true that sometimes you get duped, sometimes it's legit, but that's the way this game goes. You're not gonna see a return on every investment, everytime.
Can't wait to see the American Greed episode in a few years
😂 luv that show!!
Time to start selling the property, dj, envy, and Flippin New Jersey have also let’s start liquidating all the pocketbook dj envy‘s wife has, and all the cars he has, and pay back the people you stole from. And let’s face it when that happens the Wife is going to leave she’s only there for the bread.
In the good ol days when you vouch for someone & this snake stuff happens 🐠🏊♂️🤣
He is about to loose it all….
Troi Torain AKA the illustrious and praiseworthy Star must have laughed his ass off when he saw Envy's name in the news 😂
i remembered he posted an episode from his seminars about a lady who was scammed and lost a lot of money. He claimed he was going to help her out. I hope she didn’t get scammed again 😢
When Envy found out about the scam, why didn't he campaign again the scammer with the same energy as he did when he was calling all to invest?
A friend of mine begged me to go with him to one of these seminars a few years ago but I refused because it just didn't sit right with me. I'm happy I followed my instincts. I just looked up their house in Bergen County and let's just say, things that make you go hmmm 🤔
Interesting. I did find it challenging to believe some of the things Czar claimed he was doing on TBC…
They were very stupid to do this because when you’re buying a property you have to hire a lawyer and they’ll do it for you.
The money is in Caesar’s big ssa STOMACH 😢
He spent all that money on Taco Bell and DoorDash😂😂
When she asks the wife, where's the Money? She is wearing it, with her Chanel shirt and Cartier bracelets.....
Just hold tight and we're going to come through 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
