Tiger JK had revealed on a radio broadcast that he and his wife Tasha were scammed out of a lot of money by his own company.

In reference to the rapper’s comment on “being afraid to be linked with his name”, fans have indicated that it could be related to the drug case he was involved in.
A lot of y'all asking why Tiger JK is considered difficult to associate with despite being a pioneer of Korean hip-hop;
It has a lot to do with
A) His drug case, which while it didn't happen in Korea, still got him (& his group) a 2 year ban from performing publically

In 1999, Tiger JK was arrested for use of methamphetamine in Korea due to false testimony from the members of Uptown, who were also arrested on drug charges.
Although he was later proved innocent, he had admitted using drugs in the past outside of Korea. He ended up serving a month and a half in jail and was sentenced to two years probation during which he was not allowed to perform.
In addition, he had also courageously spoken up on various issues.
B) Tiger JK has exposed SMTM for being scripted, exposed the reality of brands for only caring about petty things like Instagram followers, and infamously very angrily refused to do the Gangnam style when he was asked to (just because he's Asian) during a stateside visit in 2012.
