Former blogger Karen Civil accused former NFL star Reggie Bush of trying to exploit deceased rapper Nipsey Hussle without his fiancee Lauren London’s permission.
Nipsey, 33, was gunned down outside his clothing store on March 31. He was buried on Friday during a private ceremony at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in South Los Angeles.
Reggie raised eyebrows when he created a GoFundMe account with the goal of raising $100,000 for Nipsey’s two children Emani, 12, and Kross, 2.
He asked Twitter followers to donate money that would go directly into a fund for the two children.
But Nipsey’s children are well taken care of, so Reggie’s actions raised eyebrows.
Karen, who was Nipsey’s business partner, tweeted Reggie ordering him to remove his post after he refused her private request to remove it.
“Please remove this tweet as this was privately asked of you already. The family nor Lauren requested this and you did it anyway,” she tweeted on Saturday.
In a follow-up tweet, she wrote:
“No disrespect to Reggie Bush but Nipsey Life Partner nor his family asked for this to be done when he originally requested. Appreciate, everyone wanting to find ways to support Nip but his foundation for community efforts will be launched soon.”
Reggie denied Karen’s accusations in a Twitter response:
“Wait what??? Nah that’s actually INCORRECT check your facts what would I gain from this @KarenCivil ? And this is the very last time I will speak on it out of RESPECT for everyone! God Bless you!”
Karen replied:
“I never spoke on what you had to gain, Simply asked you to remove the tweet, just like you did the gofundme. You asked prior to do this and was told no by family, but did it anyway. You never once spoke to Nip in the gym the many times you saw each other…
I understand you’re motivated and want to help, but there are other ways. His family already asked you NOT to do this. People are literally grieving over a husband, father, brother, uncle, friend and someone who meant so much too [sic] so many people. This is not the time for this.”

That’s not a good picture of Karen. That’s all I got for this.
I dont like Reggie Bush
But I sure as hell dont like Karen Civil.
This too much!
Reggie sit it all the way down. Stat and scram
It’s just idiocracy on both sides.
Why are rich people asking us regular folks to give them money?
L London told him it was ok than Karen civil said it wasn’t a good look
(Raised eyebrows) Uh-huh. Ms. Civil is something else.
What? Why?
She irks my whole soul.
“You never once spoke to Nip in the gym the many times you saw each other…”
Why she add this, how was it relevant, and how the hell does she know?
How is she able to tell anyone who they know or when they met? Did nipsey tell her every person he met and every encounter?
Me thinks that she doesn’t want ppl looking into his finances too hard and wants to personally control what she can otherwise people may start asking questions. Too many concerns. Looking at you cowboy…
SN not a Reggie fan or a fan of the GoFundMe he posted but she sure is pressed about this. I don’t see how Reggie could’ve meant harm by this.
who Karen? Im not sure at what point I fell out with Karen. She always has this way of being inserted into stuff. The WRONG stuff. I just dont like her Pound Puppy looking ass. *shrug*
All of this! I like how Auntie shaded her as a “blogger”. Lol. But this madam has her hand on a plethora of rappers heads ( and all up in their bizness.)
Something about Karen Civil doesn’t sit well with my spirit. Idk.
I can’t wait for all of this to be over with. The furor surrounding his death has been…odd.
When i initially heard of this i thought the Busch was donating money out of his own pocket didn’t know he was begging money from the General public he is out of line
I’m so confused ? what just happened
I thought Reggie was tryna lay low with his kim k knockoff…
Is Karen Civil like the Olivia pope of hip hop?
I fell out with Karen.

WHY do I LMAO when I read things like this from you…….like yall PERSONALLY know each other. LOL https://media2.giphy.com/media/13l7w7N4Vr1dw4/giphy.gif
Ion een care
He six feet under
?? This self hating coin Reggie Bush with ugly stupid insecure wife. No way I would be hanging around after a break baby!?
I’m not talking about ? like this via social media! Call me please……?
Chile Ima mind my damn business on this shyt here https://media2.giphy.com/media/vvya6O1xg2pkm2n87E/giphy-downsized-medium.gif unnecessary spats … no one needs this pointless shyt … if you wanna give then give if not focus on yo damn self
It gets the people goin’. There is money to be made. Folks be after a coin. Likes = coins/money.
Chile bunch of folks that just gotta be seen on social media…. that look at me shyt ….. and more than half of that shyt is a damn scam
Lmaoooo.
I know exactly what you’re talking about????. But it’s too soon to elaborate. Are you referring to the fact people close to her are falling dead?! And the countless eerie circumstances surrounding her? She found Mac Miller body. She was his ‘manager’. I will say this, she’s a very savvy business woman who is highly respected and should be feared really.
I pray LL can extract herself financially from Karen I soon as its feasibly possible. But I am sure those contracts on Nip are ironclad. Ms Civil is all about dem coins.
This is the reason why I never checked for Reggie from the jump…he is so far removed from african american culture that he automatically thought that Nipsey’s kids would be broke after his death… he did it for clout without research or approval… Honestly it was an embarrassment…Reggie aint know nothing about Nipsey he just jumped on the bandwagon and threw an assumption out the window…the black delegation needs security to remove him from the premises…he can reapply in 2029…Ole Coon Azz…
I dont like her either…she’s like Marlo Hapton I dont know what the hell she does for a living but she stay fly and in the blogs…
I read that Lauren said it was ok. True or not true? Only Lauren can nip this in the butt. Why Karen always in people business? Is she getting a commission or something? I’m no Reggie fan but how you going to take a good deed and turn it into something ugly? Some folks are just plain evil.
They can both sit they azzez down somewhere!!! He wanna be seen and she wanna be important. From what I gather she was just a friend of his how is she making decisions for the family? And if he wants to give money to that man kids do so privately…you don’t need a gofundme to do that. He can have something setup where no one even knows about it until the kids come of age and they receive it anonymously. People so full of shyt Reggie and Karen alike. overthewholesituation.com
Reggie aint know nothing about Nipsey he just jumped on the bandwagon and threw an assumption
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I don’t even know how he fit on the wagon at this point…
If Reggie wanted to help black community, black children, and black businesses he would’ve married black, hell his side baby wasn’t by a black woman. Reggie need to chill.
Are you referring to the fact people close to her are falling dead?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It’s a combination of things, but not one single thing in particular. I’ve never met her personally so I can’t say it’s her energy, but something is off. Can’t put my finger on it.
She gives me instigator, peanut gallery, embezzler vibes…is she a hanger on or a real publicist? I cant in my life figure out what she does for a living besides wearing designer labels???
Don’t care. Next post!
But she’s so connected. Her access is strange. Maybe I need to read up on her and see who/what she is/does.
Chile…wheres the lie…
https://media1.giphy.com/media/wWue0rCDOphOE/giphy.gif
Also, men exercising in the gym are focused on their workout. They not chit chatting like the women do.
I read the post Reggie Bush made when Nipsey passed. He made mention that he would encounter him in the gym, but respected his privacy, so didn’t go over and talk to him. I’m assuming Karen read that post from Reggie and tried to throw some shade.
Hi and goodbye is what the fellas do. Karen take several seats please. ?
I like this show. I need to catch up.
I think she’s a professional blackmailer… I remember dipset saying something about her stealing their money a few years back…
both of these two maybe should have handled this privately?? And also, why a “gofundme?” Mr. Bush doesn’t have the money to just give out of his pocket?? That was kind of strange to me…why not just give on your own.. He didn’t need any help anyway.
Nobody can tell me what she does. And she was called out once for scams/embezzler so you are on the right track I think. Cam’ron once said she stole 60k large from him. When Mac Miller passed I looked her BACK up. The whole what does she do question has been around a LONG ass time at THIS point.. Like since 2015-2016
So was it true that Karen was potentially sleeping with Nipsey or wanted to? Everyone who talks about this woman doesn’t have anything positive to say regarding her persona.
I get social security number and credit card scammer vibes from her…
Ah.
Reggie was out of line and out of his mind. If the family clearly said no he should have left it alone. He did not extend a hand when Nipsey was alive so why is he trying to gran stand. They said what they said and now you look like you have shit on your face because you want to be garner attention off of someones death.
I think its accurate. Its an old LSA thread on her I found back when Mac passed. She supposedly tapped danced around stealing from Cam on vid when asked. Never trust anyone who doesnt answer a simple question straight out has always been my take.
Better yet, why did he need a Gofundme? Seems as if Reggie and wife could have discretely just gave Lauren their OWN money on the “low.”
Lauren has a way of making money. What about nippsy daughter mother? Doesnt his daughter desreve money for school as well? Did he have a will? Was lauren and nipp married? Did his parents go to probate court. Who is the executor of his estate.
.
When I heard about GoFundMe accounts for this guy’s children, I thought it was… odd, to say the least.
First off, it gives the impression that Nipsey was fiscally irresponsible and didn’t provide for his children in death through savings, or insurance. I understand that this was a kindhearted gesture… but, I think starting a Gofundme account to give money to the children of a “perceived” millionaire is a little tacky without consent. If you want to privately reach out to your rich friends and collect dollars to give to his kids – go right ahead, but to ask the public is not cool.
I think so too. She digs until she finds dirt of folks or hangs around to witness said dirt. then blackmails for money to stay on the hush. Makes PERFECT SENSE
Gotta disagree here have seen many dudes ki ki-ing in the gym at more than one facility.
Exactly. He is extremely out of touch. Like…tf? lol
yeah, it’s kinda of crazy.
Karen Civil is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!
I think she’s a madam…selling her harem of cooch to the highest bidder and blackmailing them…
right! I think he was…..
I for sure don’t think Reggie should’ve had anything to do with this. lol The fact that he’s never met him and felt compelled to shine a light in his own direction the way that he did. I just….(face palm) Team Karen on this one. Poor taste Reggie. HE could have even donated some of his earnings to a cause that those in Nipsey’s camp built. What an awkward situation to put himself in. Where were his people? lol Tf?
Exactly…he didn’t want to part with “his” money but was quick to put up something and only contribute 10% to the goal… Reggie is a white man at this point…totally oblivious to anything in black american culture…
correct..they don’t like a lot of chit chat!
They were never married but he supposedly has a 1million$ life insurance for his kids
Hey Karen!
Your in the industry Kcool…what does she do for a living???
Chile…
Find out next time on DragonBall Z….
The nose job helps her appearance-gives her a bump up to average.
Oh crap…
Well someone posted the daughter’s mother instragram handle
online. By the looks of her posts, it seems that Nipsey made sure his daughter was taken care of, not her.
No disrespect to Reggie Bush but Nipsey Life Partner nor his family…
—————————-
Life partner? Just call her what she was, his girlfriend. Oh I forgot, white women and half white/mixed women are life partners not baby mamas.
Reggie Bush need to cut the crap. If he really wants to help out, he could start with taking care of his other child he had with that other side piece white girl. Raise the money fof single struggling mothers. I have no respect for these colorist meat heads.
Didn’t Camron call Karen Civil out for her shell game hustle with his funds? She needs to get a real job and stop siphoning off people with real talent. She knows that half the artists in the industry are not making half as much as what they claim and well needs the financial help. It not a good look but it is the reality.
LOL!!
She’s a professional _____
Interesting that she referred to life partner, but then also mentioned that someone lost their husband…..which is it.
Yup! All that hymming and hawwing is unnecessary if you’re telling the truth.
Listen…just standing around gazing into each other’s eyes. In the way, blocking the equipment…
She is.
LOL, being all loud and extra n sh*t.
?????? you’re bad.
Someone just said Kcool is Karen Civil…Chile…
Isn’t that the kinda the same? That’s what Jada and Will call each other…
The rumor is they married last year. I think it was just a ceremony with no license…not legal but spiritual
Now, I have no idea about Karen’s personal life and her fallout with Dipset, J. Cole, and her ex. But based on the fact that she admitted to forging a fake resume to get a job on Wall Street, it seems like she has a little bit of shadiness in her character.
Lollll I don’t know why I find this funny. ???
Lolollo Kcool is a man baby Imm tryna push up on that too ?
Well, I just look at it this way: a Haitian sister made it. She has to be solid and cold in that industry. Otherwise, she won’t be ‘respected’. But, I do know exactly what you’re saying.
Sooooo who’s the liar here??
You didn’t speak to Nip at the gym Reggie… Lol
Why rich people always asking for money?
I went to the GoFundMe site and put “Nipsey” in the search and there are so many other donation pages setup for him. Some people love trying to get over.
EXACTLY! Karen is being wayyyy too defensive about this.
You’re right. I just peeped that. Well we know they were never married because 1) the autopsy report said it and…2) her poem she wrote to him on January of this year that she read at the funeral said boyfriend. I think someone made her read that poem at the funeral because she was very private and I don’t think she would have ever come out and clear the confusion up. They had her read that poem for a reason. Now we know that she doesn’t have a say in his legal matters. Only his family have rights.
LMAO EXACTLY! WTF lmao
He had a baby on his KK clone???
Yep. Some foreign white chick I believe…
I’m thinking he thought he was doing something nice by donating $10 grand and asking the public to donate $90. I dont think he meant harm as well.
Damn
https://media1.giphy.com/media/OnKlrHN7Decko/giphy.gif
Amen!!!!
Flexin and gruntin in the mirror
That part
That was a married cocktail waitress I believe.
These fake black activist married to white women are so annoying.
Lmaooo @ KK clone. Yes and she’s not even a looker. They don’t care as long as she’s white that’s all that matters.
Life partner? Just call her what she was, his girlfriend.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There could have been a secret ceremony because Lauren London appeared to be extremely private. But I feel like if they were really married, wedding pictures would have been in that funeral booklet and there wouldn’t be so many different terms being thrown around.
Lol… She’s the R&B and hip hop fixer
Welp, hopefully he had a will.
Right. They weren’t married. I’m sure she wanted the public to believe that but they weren’t. The autopsy report said they weren’t and her poem on January that she read at the funeral said boyfriend.
What? ?????
Damn it … She does look like a Pound Puppy!! ?
Right on.
On top of that I feel she had something to do with Mac Millers death. I’m not saying she forced him to do drugs but I’m saying she could have called the ambulance or gotten him help sooner than they did. That boy was dead for hours while people still partied in his house. Including Karen smh. I get a bad vibe from her.
Because Reggie probably doesn’t have any real or rich friends so he needed the public’s help.
Yes by some Hispanic Miami waitress.
Dayum! ???!!
Yes, its pretty interesting. But so far, no scandals have surrounded Nipsey in concern with women coming out the woodworks…typically 2-3 weeks after a death is the grace period allotted for such antics. Hopefully, Lauren was mentioned somewhere. Surprised, TMZ hasn’t found his will.
Wat if they were not so “well off to do” and needed that go fund me. The public’s negative reception of it… made Lauren change her mind. Cause wasn’t Jay-Z said to make a generous donation?? Where was all the hatred then, and isn’t he supposed to setting up a donation thing or another. This is hate the messenger’ish
I think a life partner would be more suited for spiritual ceremony.
Dang, aim high why don’t you.
*Sarcasm*???
LOL…as soon as I saw Karen is drop dead gorgeous…she just exposed herself or whoever in the camp. LOL
Karen I am confused, one sentence you say “life partner” the other sentence “husband” so which one is it?
Arnold former governor of Cali’s mistress took it to a whole other level.?
If Reggie Bush want to do something helpful give to the water crisis in flint, from what I heard people still dont have clean water including the children. Smdh
That is the same thing I just said smh and what about “son” she forgot to say that….there is a grieving mom that lost her cherished son as well. Everyone keeps saying LL which she is grieving too but can’t imagine losing your beloved child. She knew him longer..
Baby mama is the correct term.
SMDH
They said tell folks that DOGS don’t have clean water, then maybe SOMETHING will be done about it. https://media2.giphy.com/media/UwJqpQi2Gmt5C/giphy.gif https://media3.giphy.com/media/Rymn6Tp2U7vMs/giphy.gif
J. Cole,
^^^^
Lawd this was it. this right here. I couldnt for the life of me remma why I couldnt stand her. thanks
Jay Z thing was made up. His people came out and said it’s a lie.
Nasty… No condoms with randoms
You’re funny. I’m here cracking up. ???
WOW
Glad to be of service!
She was probably typing fast, but I agree. The entire family is in mourning. Although the Mom was very stoic, I got the sense that she is in denial in a way. People process grief differently and I hope they all take time to grieve.
The girl’s face is shaped like a foot to me, no lie. That’s what i see every time I look at her. Reggie likes regular shmegular women, it seems
Damn…what hole did Reggie Bush crawl out of…I never heard him so vocal on any of our issues before. And why is his wife speaking…hell send that money to some of these poor public schools…open up some after school programs…some teenage summer work programs….Hell there is a 72 yrs old man who was evicted while in a rehab/nursing home after surgery in NY and lost everything…you can help him with a quarter of what you was donating.
OK, so if he reached out to them about it in private, why couldn’t they ask him to take it down in private? Karen Civil is messy as hell.
See, I didn’t know about the poem or the autopsy report.
I’ll answer, it’s actually long time girlfriend. No more, no less. As per his death cert, he was never married.
She is a certified 2x Baby Momma…you know black folks get fancy with words when someone leave this earth.
I’m not a huge Reggie Bush fan, however, I don’t believe he just came out of nowhere w/this campaign. I believe he went through the proper channels in order to establish this GoFundMe. Someone didn’t like the appearance of it (even though it may actually be needed) & decided against it. My question is, is Karen Civil the family spokes woman??? If not, she should have a seat & stfu.
How the hell did Civil link up w/Hussle in the first place?? Also Lauren’s net worth (if the site is to be believed is 8mil) so she should be comfortable.
What happened w/she & J. Cole?
I think he was actually trying to do something nice…..there could have been nicer convo between them instead of this public bitching…..plain and simple. I am sure ALL of this could have been resolved by a simple phone call…period. Folks always want to show out on the internet…smdh…RIP Nip.
I can’t stand Karen Civil. She needs to relax.
Reggie meant well but it was kind of left field.
Exactly!!! Why is she different from the rest of us.
lol She so petty. I can’t! lmao
She took money from Joyner Lucas ($50,000) and Cam’ron cousin DukeDaGod ($60,000) to brand them and she didn’t deliver. Hence she stole.
All they needed was to go to the court house and get a marriage license. A spiritual ceremony is just that. It’s not legal. Wedding pictures don’t say ish. Legal document do. They weren’t married. Get over it. Who cares. She’s a girlfriend and baby mama, like the rest of us.
Cause she weaseled her way there. People forget Nipsey wasn’t always a sought out artist. He never did a major tour. He wasn’t signed. He was a major liability to venues because of his gang affiliations. She probably saw his potential and he needed all the help he could get.
To men life partner is a term that gay people used because there was a time they couldn’t marry.
She is one of the PR people for Nipsey and is a trusted friend of his and Lauren’s. I believe this had good intentions but it also was not though out. Privately, funds can be donated to a trust if that is truly what he wanted to do. Also, 100k is 2 years of private school at the school I graduated from, in North Hollywood. I doubt, that trust, would impact their lives much. I am certain their family has trust that are set up. With the emphasis on Community and the number of jobs and generated revenue that help sustain black business in the Crenshaw District could is where Reggie could have set this up. Not one person in their family is hurt for money. They are hurt without their loved one. PERIOD LONG LIVE NAYBAHOOD NIP!! WE LOVE YOU! No one understand how as a City, LA we are crushed by his violent assassination.
Word cus homegirl was sleeping on a mattress on the floor.
Another reason why it was done in POOR taste. Why ask the working class, for trust fund money, when most dont have one for their own children. Nipsey was about empowering us do for ourselves…100k, again, like I said previously. 2 years of my highschools tuition. PENNIES. I would wonder why a multimillionaire would not just want to give 100k if he felt so compelled to give.
My wimmenz intuition tells me somn otha than friendship went down between Karen and Nips at some point and time
???
Karen is a pressed bitch
I don’t care for Reggie but don’t think he had bad intentions.
Like that cartoon character Bobby that rode the tricycle… Bobby’s World face ?
LOL…true!
Dontcha know Bobby! I ised to loooove that show
They don’t make cartoons quite like that anymore
Gofundmes are tacky, I wouldn’t want one in my name in the event of my untimely passing either
Lauren London was definitely just a baby momma, but the Internet is posting her relationship with Nipsey as if they were “goals”. Nipsey was allegedly cheating during their relationship and he never married her. Lauren is so pretty, but she acts like a “pick me” chick. She could have definitely done better. There is no way I would have put my children in gang colors “Nipsey Blue” for the funeral… She needs a shot of self-esteem!
Reggie please to go spend time with your outside child. You has a son that need to know is real father. Reggie you are apart of the black children without a visible father.
He donated 10k….He also stated he was given permission.
When there is MONEY MESS with someone who knows Karen Civil, Karen Civil is almost ALWAYS involved https://media2.giphy.com/media/1xOeKcDHpi0nC0umUQ/giphy-downsized-medium.gif
Exactly!
Basically?
Hopefully there are many OTHER street dudes named Nipsey that people are trying to get some money up to bury?????
death certificate said never married, to which everybody in LA replied he and lauren had a secret wedding in mexico. i streamed the MF’s song and he said he wasn’t married to nobody but his music and that’s the way he was gonna be til he died…and well….
First of all, calm down.
Secondly, I don’t have any children so who is the “us” you’re referring to?
Lastly, Idk if you have a reading comprehension problem or what, but I clearly said I didn’t think she was married. So you’re whole comment was a fail.
??????
maybe the money couldve went to his first child. who knows how the money stituation is going to shake out.
I think he was trying to do something good for Nipsey Hussle’s children.
Ugh… always someone UNDERMINING!!!
What family members gave him permission? I hope he didn’t ask grieving relatives about it, that’s tacky to even ask, just give the family what you want them to have. If he did ask Nipsey’s family, he may have asked a family member but that family member didn’t clear it with everybody else…
Its going to be a Karen CIVIL WAR when all sides involved start battling over that $$$$ especially when that non-for-profit charitable fundraising with govt backed grant money start to really kick off
?
!!! There’s more ??
No Forest Lawn in South LA. South LA has historically Black cemeteries from the times we were not allowed to share burial grounds of whites. Jewish we’re buried in Boyle Heights, East LA. Probably Hollywood Hills.
1. I’m calm.
2. I was referring to unwed mothers.
3. I stand corrected
Reggie Bush is fine as hell! That’s all I got.
At least 2 of them have died.
