Desus Nice used his guest-hosting stint on The Daily Show this week to poke fun at his former (and maybe current) rival DJ Envy amid his real estate fraud investigation.
In case you haven’t been keeping up with the “Breakfast Club” host’s dramatic saga: Last week, his business partner, Cesar Pina, was arrested and charged with wire fraud for allegedly running a real estate Ponzi scheme in New Jersey. DJ Envy, whose real name is RaaShaun Casey, has yet to face federal charges, despite his involvement in Pina’s business. (He is, however, listed as a co-defendant in several civil lawsuits.) Nonetheless, social media users have been speculating foul play on the DJ’s part, circulating videos of him and Rina urging people to invest in their house-flipping business and promoting seminars.
Given his past beef with Envy, Nice didn’t hold back on what he called “one of the corniest crimes in hip-hop history” on Tuesday night’s Daily Show.
