Yung Joc made a dire mistake when he accidentally sent $1,800 to the wrong person. After pleading with them to return the money, he got his number blocked.
Joc took to Instagram with a call to action, demanding that his followers contact the number he sent the money to, and get the person to return the funds to their rightful owner.
“So I sent them a Zelle by mistake and they won’t return my money,” Joc wrote in the caption. “Can y’all please call/text them and ask them to return my lil change?”
The caption was posted alongside a screenshot of a brief one-way text exchange Joc had with the person in question, pleading with them to “please do the right thing.”
“God has a bigger blessing for you,” he wrote in part to no avail. The IG post was also fittingly soundtracked by Gangsta Boo’s “Where Dem Dollas At” with DJ Paul and Juicy J.
The R&B singer Vedo commented on Joc’s post, saying he once was incorrectly sent some cash and quickly returned the money.
“Man someone sent me like 1500 dollars one day by accident,” Vedo wrote. “I sent that money right back, the type of bad karma you will endure isn’t worth it. You may not feel it right a way but that 1,800 gone cost them much more.”
The unfortunate transfer of funds caps off a bad year for Yung Joc. He was arrested on child abandonment charges back in May, spending just a single hour behind bars at Gwinnett County Jail before posting a $1,300 bond. The “It’s Goin Down” rapper claimed the arrest was a result of him lowering his $5,000-a-month child support payments to save up for his wedding celebration.
“I had been paying so much money up ahead because I didn’t want no smoke,” he said on his radio show Yung Joc & The Streetz Morning Takeover. “Once I realized like, ‘You know what? I don’t have to pay you this much money. I’m about to get married. I gotta take my time and put finances toward my wedding’ … Now, the mother got mad and felt like, ‘No, you supposed to keep paying me this.’”
He continued, “So while my attorney and her attorney are going back and forth to establish [my payments], they put this out on me. I didn’t even know I had a warrant. So here I am, just living my life casually, still paying child support, and suddenly they put out this child abandonment warrant because they didn’t want to accept the $1,500.”
