DJ Grandpa is NOT Happy

DJ Grandpa received an email on Saturday, June 22 from Desjon Allen, owner of Kobe Red Jerky. His project was recently removed from Kickstarter due to allegations of fraud. 

In his email, Mr. Allen offered to share an exclusive with DJ Grandpa’s Crib—the real truth behind their unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign.   DJ Grandpa agreed to listen to their side of the story and then decide whether or not to feature it on the podcast.

Here is their side of the story, as told through a new project on Indiegogo:  Kobe Red - A Mocumentary - How I Fooled Kickstarter, The Media & 3000 Backers.

This project will NOT be featured on our show. The staff here at DJ Grandpa’s Crib is committed to crowdfunding, to the project creators who dare to dream, and to the backers who generously give of both their time and their money.  Kickstarter is more than just a crowdfunding platform, it is a community.  And the Kobe Red Beef Project--now known as the Kobe Red Mocumentary--has nothing to do with community or the true nature of crowdfunding.  We do not support this abuse of crowdfunding nor do we support The Kobe Red Mocumentary. 

Listen to DJ Grandpa's Crib on Monday, June 24 for an interview with Jason Cooper, one of the creators of Kickstarted, a documentary that helped expose the fraud behind Kobe Red.
