In April 2021, Camel is accused of harassing and threatening his ex-girlfriend. U.S. Marshals say Camel sent her a homemade video with a frightening message asking her if she was "ready to die."
"Doing some property damage to a vehicle of hers," the marshal explained. "A woman being followed and harassed to the point where she has to quit her job, change her phone number and move – it's very unsettling."

He was allegedly holding a gun in the video.
"When one individual is able to terrorize someone else to the point where they need to completely upend their life it’s pretty disturbing behavior," said the marshal.
