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.
“We’ve helped so many people, not just regular people, but celebrities, athletes, executives,” DJ Envy said on his radio show.
Envy and Cesar teamed up for seminars, including one at the convention center pitching opportunities to flip properties, often in distressed areas of New Jersey.
Jose Santiago and his wife, Jessica Ortiz, say they believed investing in a real estate venture in a Paterson neighborhood would be their ticket to the American dream.
“That’s the reason I got into real estate, so we can actually start flipping properties, buying properties so we can have something for our kids in the future,” Ortiz told News 4.
The couple says they connected with entrepreneur Cesar after seeing him on social media with DJ Envy.
