Max B and Karen Civil professional dispute

Overview

Rapper Max B and publicist Karen Civil entered a public dispute following the termination of their professional relationship in late June. Max B announced on social media that Civil was “terminated,” leading to accusations from the rapper that she had hacked his Instagram account. Civil, through her firm Always Civil, maintained that her work supporting Max B’s post-prison return was complete and that her team had simply closed backend access following the end of their partnership.

In a subsequent interview on ‘The Jason Lee Show,’ Max B expanded on the conflict, alleging that Civil was “chased out of” the BET Awards after attempting to control his performance production. He also described a long history of hiring and firing Civil over a twenty-year period. Civil has reiterated that her company has concluded its professional relationship with the artist.
