The New York native said that what he was doing wasn’t harassment.

“Maya Moody is a liar,” he wrote in an email to Jezebel. “I’ve never cyber harassed anyone in my life. I responded, on Twitter, to the lies that Maya posted about me. When you respond to someone who posts lies about you, that is not harassment.”

The Mos Def collaborator even tried to discredit Moody by digging up some of her old tweets and posting them to his Instagram account.
