    Media maven Karen Civil has responded to claims she stole $60,000 from rapper Joyner Lucas following his tweet thread on Saturday.

    Joyner says he paid Civil the money to handle his branding and marketing around 2014.

    "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 wrote, attaching a memo of a list of services promised to him.

    "After you got the money paid up front, 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 against the wall. You took advantage."

    Lucas claims that Civil's company tried to pressure him into issuing a false statement, retracting his statement. He said he was afraid to speak out for fear of being blackballed.

    Civil then issued the following statement via Baller Alert:

    "It's easy for him to make broad statements when you aren't familiar with the backend of business especially Marketing," she wrote.

    "Subcontractors were paid including Ravenel Agency, PR, and local Reps (mix show/radio). All parties contracted out on his behalf to execute were paid from the overall budget allotted. When he expressed his unhappiness about not getting VIP access to a NY NBA2K event because he arrived 2 ½ hours prior to the time he was given. Him not being able to reach me the following day during a scheduled personal vacation cause him to be irate."

    Civil's statement continued: "His MGMT called me to rectifying the situation after Joyner made his first tweet claims in which I responded we can happily move forward after a public apology was made since he used that same platform to lie about funds being taken from him. I recorded the call just for future circumstances like this. Unfortunately 6 years later, he's now utilizing a separate disagreement moment to amplify and create a social momentum around himself. He and I both had separate conversations with Charlamagne this morning where he passed on his phone number so we can have a discussion directly, but instead he took to social. Nothing was stolen or taken from Joyner Lucas. Unfortunately, certain artist are under the impression they have 24/7 access to you. That's not feasible or possible. All work done on his behalf were fulfilled. Subcontractor invoices were made & sent to MGMT Sean MacDonald of Dead Silence CEO. Which my team also kept records for."

    A showdown on Clubhouse also took place. Hollywood Unlocked founder Jason Lee and Jessie Woo also made allegations against Civil.

    On Sunday morning, Civil was on Clubhouse early defending her life's work. She again denied the allegations, but says that in future, she will be clear to state that there are simply no guarantees when it comes to public relations.
