<h3 style="text-align: center;">Cesar Pina Speaks Out A Week After His Arrest</h3>
<p>Pina recently took to social media to speak about his &#8220;success&#8221; and seemingly question where all of his support has gone.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Whenever you touch success, right, you get all these people that want to be around you, right,&#8221; Pina explained. &#8220;&#8230; I&#8217;m successful, everyone wants to be my friend, everyone wants to be around me [but] as soon as s**t hits the fan, all these people that have profited from my success&#8230; all these people that I have helped them with this helped them with that&#8230; Where are these people at? I don&#8217;t see them.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Pina explained that instead, he has &#8220;all the haters&#8221; on his social media, telling him that he&#8217;s going to jail. The real estate developer, however, reminded viewers that there are multiple &#8220;sides to every story.&#8221;</p>
<p>Additionally, Pina said that he has 20 suits against him. However, he claimed he doesn&#8217;t owe money to most of the plaintiffs.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">The Real Estate Developer Addresses DJ Envy&#8217;s Alleged Role In The Suspected Fraud</h3>
<p>As the video continued, Pina began to address speculation that DJ Envy was involved in the alleged real estate fraud.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Then you have all of these people being coerced to sue people affiliated with me just because they&#8217;re a bigger name than me,&#8221; Pina continued. &#8220;&#8230;In all these 20 lawsuits, DJ Envy was never in the room with me. DJ Envy has nothing to do with any of these 20 lawsuits&#8230;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Pina explained that it &#8220;pisses&#8221; him off that people, including fellow media personalities and rappers, are now &#8220;bashing&#8221; DJ Envy.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the real estate developer continued by explaining that he has a &#8220;track record&#8221; of &#8220;no lawsuits&#8221; or &#8220;problems&#8221; in the industry between 2017 and 2022. Pina seemingly alleged that the current lawsuits against him may simply be coerced by the influence of media personalities who dislike him.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">A Brief Look Back On Cesar Pina&#8217;s Alleged Real Estate Fraud</h3>
<p>As <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/dj-envy-real-estate-fraud-lawsuit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Shade Room</a> previously reported, a lawsuit filed in July accused Cesar Pina, Jennifer Pina, and DJ Envy of defrauding &#8220;nearly $2 million&#8221; from real estate investors Anthony Barone and Anthony Martini.</p>
<p>Additionally, the plaintiffs accused the group of using the money for lavish expenses.</p>
<p>In August, DJ Envy reportedly filed to dismiss the lawsuit, alleging that the petition was sensationalized and he had nothing to do with the real estate transaction highlighted in the suit.</p>
<p>At the time, the DJ also alleged that he was a victim in Pina&#8217;s ventures as he allegedly invested $500,000 in a development and never received his initial return on investment or dividends, as allegedly promised.</p>
