Reggie tweeted on Friday to announce that he and his wife Lilit Avagyan donated $10,000 to Nipsey's two children. He also encouraged others to help them reach their $100,000 goal.
Well, that got shut down QUICK.
In since-deleted tweets, Karen said that Nipsey's family didn't approve of the GoFundMe page. And, she also pointed that a foundation for community efforts will kick off soon.

Reggie deleted his announcement tweet and the GoFundMe page has since been deleted.
But, it didn't stop there. Reggie also posted a response to Karen. In a lengthy Instagram post, he wrote:
"Wait wait wait wait one minute. I just heard about this story I'm sorry but I must defend myself here. This is beyooond me! I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO GAIN FROM THIS!!!! [...] Not sure where this came from or who you spoke to but you must be sadly mistaken if you think we just lost our minds and made up some fake gofundme page."
Karen then responded to Reggie on Twitter and said Nipsey's family asked him not to do this:Wait what??? 😑 Nah that’s actually INCORRECT check your facts what would I gain from this @KarenCivil ?And this is the very last time I will speak on it out of RESPECT for everyone! God Bless you! 🙏🏾— Reggie Bush (@ReggieBush) April 14, 2019
I understand you’re motivated and want to help, but there are other ways. His family already asked you NOT to do this. People are literally grieving over a husband, father, brother, uncle, friend and someone who meant so much too so many people. This is not the time for this.— Karen Civil (@KarenCivil) April 14, 2019
And, the two went back and forth on Instagram:I never spoke on what you had to gain, Simply asked you to remove the tweet, just like you did the gofundme. You asked prior to do this and was told no by family, but did it anyway. You never once spoke to Nip in the gym the many times you saw each other.— Karen Civil (@KarenCivil) April 14, 2019
