Rapper Max B and Publicist Karen Civil End Professional Relationship Amid Public Dispute
Rapper Max B announced on social media that his long‑time publicist Karen Civil was no longer part of his team, stating she was "terminated" on June 28. Civil, through her firm Always Civil, highlighted her role in supporting his post‑prison return, securing media placements and a partnership with Defiant X Records, and said her work with Max B was complete.
The split quickly turned into a public feud. Max B accused Civil of hacking his Instagram account, while Civil clarified that her team had closed backend access after the partnership ended. He later called her a liar and accused her of trying to "save face" by overstating her contributions. Civil responded that the business relationship had concluded and wished Max B success with his new team.
