‘I Drive the F–king Car Off’: Karlie Redd Admits to Crashing Yung Joc’s Car After Finding Out That He Cheated on Her

Karlie Redd’s relationship with rapper Yung Joc may not have lasted as long as the “Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta” star may have wanted, but she sure did her best to get her revenge. 

Viewers of the popular reality series got their initial introduction to Karlie and Joc’s budding romance when the “It’s Going Down” rapper made his debut on the show as Karlie’s beau on season three. However, the flames soon fizzled out after Karlie discovered that Joc had cheated on her and participated in a sexual relationship with another woman named Khadiyah Lewis, a realtor who had previously shown the couple a house.

When questioned by the 46 year old about whether or not she was involved with Joc after popping up several times before the house viewing, Khadiyah confirmed that she was indeed sleeping with Joc “every night.” Fans watched as the two women wrestled for a bit before being pulled apart by the show’s crew members. 

The Karlie and Joc era soon came to an end. However, what fans didn’t get to see was when Karlie then took Joc’s polished Jaguar, that they drove to the open house, and crashed it. The shocking bit of detail came to light after a clip of Karlie and Joc reliving that moment in a newly released video surfaced.

“You know I took that car and almost drove it over a bridge,” she admitted. She continued, “Let me tell you what happens after this. He tells me to get out of the car. I jump in the driver’s seat, and I drive the f–king car off. And I drove that sh-t off the side of the motherf–kin’ road across a bridge. Crashed that sh-t. F–k you and your car, b—h. You can have Kermit and Miss Piggy and all them damn Muppets.”

Joc, on the other hand, had more of a remorseful tone in his revelation. “I realize that I made some really wild moves, some very not-so-thought-out moves. It’s comedy now because I can look at it and laugh. But I also look back and I can see where I wasn’t being the best me possible,” he explained. 

The rapper added, “Some of the sh-t I’ve done in my lifetime. Can you imagine me trying to explain my way out of things? That sh-t was real, too. That sh-t was real, dog. When she showed up and saw KD, she f–kin’ flipped out. Went crazy. They was lost, I was lost too. I was like, ‘What the f–k goin on’?’ Sis went crazy. I realize that I made some really wild moves, some very not-so-thought-out moves. It’s comedy now because I can look at it and laugh. But I also look back and I can see where I wasn’t being the best me possible,” he said.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
