A TikToker named Ricky Murda is exposing James Charles for allegedly blackmailing him. The makeup guru reportedly requested the former’s Snapchat user ID to receive explicit pictures, which Murda did not comply with.

This is not the first time the YouTuber has found himself caught through text messages. Before this, James Charles had been exposed for grooming minors and catfishing straight men on dating sites.

Ricky Murda has uploaded a series of TikTok videos alleging that Charles, 22, attempted to intimidate him into complying with his requests. It’s important to note that Murda is just 18.

As the TikTok clip went viral, Murda shared another TikTok video that showcased Charles sending him explicit images alleging Murda sent it. James Charles also wrote in the Instagram DMs:

Following the social media message exchanges, Ricky Murda created a TikTok video explaining the feud with James Charles. He said:

“I thought it was funny that he asked for my Snapchat, and I thought I’d make a funny little video out of it. He then sends me those text messages, basically trying to blackmail me.”

He continued:

“First off, homie, I have tattoos on both of my hands. If that were me in those pictures, you would be able to see my tattoos. If I had added you on Snapchat, that would mean at some point, I would have accepted your DM and given you my Snapchat. Then why is your DM still in my request? Why didn’t your DM go straight through? Because I never answered you.”
