Kevin Liles has come forward with a lengthy statement today claiming to have been threatened with a mega lawsuit. Per Akademiks TV, the now former CEO of 300 Entertainment alleges that this an "extortion attempt" by Shanell Jones. That would be female rapper Lady Luck, who he signed to Def Jam Recordings back in 1999. That was Liles' first year as president of that label.
He claims that Luck's legal team sent in this threat "three weeks ago" in which they claimed that they would "publish a book and file a public lawsuit riddled with utterly false and horrendous accusations if I didn't pay them $30 million."
Kevin Liles says that Lady Luck also "threatened to allege that I exposed myself to her and pushed her head towards my genitalia in an attempt to force her to perform oral sex while she was allegedly sitting in the driver's seat of my car."
The record label executive firmly states later on in his response that all of these allegations "are totally false." Liles also combated Luck's "fabrication" with some alleged quotes from her. In them, she speaks glowingly of Liles and his family.
For example, Luck allegedly said that she felt "like [a] stepdaughter to him. He also cited a 2020 Instagram post in which she wished him a happy birthday. "#TBT Happy Birthday Kev... Could of wrote a paragraph but I already told u the other day."
