DJ Vlad Alleges He Almost Interviewed Kamala Harris & Tim Walz While Criticizing Her Press Run

by

While DJ Vlad is mostly known for his hip-hop-centric interviews and media presence on his VladTV and personal platforms, he recently alleged that he tried to dip his toes into big political fare. Late Wednesday night (November 6), he took to Twitter to claim that he was in contact with Kamala Harris’ media team over the past several months to attempt to set up an interview with her or with Tim Walz. Harris – the Democratic candidate for president of the United States this year – and Walz – her running mate for vice president – lost in the 2024 election to Donald Trump. But that wasn’t all that Vlad had to say about the Harris campaign, particularly her press run.

“For the record, I was in contact with Kamala’s media team for months trying to set up an interview with her or Walz, and they ultimately passed on both of them,” DJ Vlad alleged. “I think my interview with her would have been her biggest interview if I had free reign to do the interview I wanted to do. Kamala’s team really dropped the ball when it came to the interviews they scheduled for her during the campaign. Her biggest bad decision was turning down Joe Rogan – who just gave Trump one of the biggest interviews of all time on YouTube. If they had been as forward-thinking as Trump and made their rounds on all the important podcasts, I think she would have flipped some of the key states she barely lost in and possibly won the election.”

DJ Vlad Has Words For Kamala Harris’ Media Team

This comes as other political, social, and celebrity forces continue to react to the 2024 U.S. presidential election’s outcome. For example, Barack Obama and his wife Michelle recently issued a statement congratulating Donald Trump on his victory and expressing their pride in Kamala Harris’ campaign.

As for the rest of the hip-hop world, many others in addition to DJ Vlad had some strong thoughts on this election. It hasn’t even been 48 hours since the nation learned the results, so people are still gathering themselves and responding accordingly online. It’s a very divisive time, but hopefully one that yields cooperative, respectful, and responsible public service.

DJ Vlad Calls Lil Durk “Stupid” After Rapper’s Murder-For-Hire Charge

by

DJ Vlad is a polarizing figure in the hip hop. Like Adam22, Vlad is widely criticized for exploiting the culture, and its accompanying violence, for online engagement. This has not stopped him, of course, from covering hip hop feuds and legal cases involving rappers. Lil Durk is a prime example of DJ Vlad subject matter. The rapper was arrested and charged with murder-for-hire in Florida. The rapper is alleged to have been involved in an attempt on Quando Rondo’s life. And DJ Vlad can’t believe it.

DJ Vlad took to Twitter following Durk’s arrest, and proceeded to blast the rapper for his alleged actions. He called the rapper “stupid” for going about the alleged hit in such an easily traceable manner. “Lil Durk was actually stupid enough to send 5 guys on a plane to kill Quando Rondo,” DJ Vlad wrote. “They ended up killing the wrong person. And now, all 6 of them are facing life in prison or even the death penalty.” DJ Vlad went on to note that he never envisioned a world in which people would travel to allegedly kill their target.

DJ Vlad Does Not Have Sympathy For Lil Durk

“In multiple interviews, I’ve said that nobody would get on a plane to kill you,” DJ Vlad noted. “I said this because there would be so much evidence that they’re guaranteeing prison. Today, I was proven wrong.” This is not the first time that DJ Vlad has run afoul of Lil Durk and his fans. Durk actually dissed Vlad on the song “Golden Cut.” It was unclear what the issue was between the two men, but DJ Akademiks set the record straight during a 2023 interview. Ak recounted a request that Lil Durk made after he gave an interview to DJ Vlad, but Vlad reportedly ignored it.

“[Durk] said the reason is: ‘I did an interview with Vlad and there was a part of the interview I mentioned the upcoming birth of my child,’” Akademiks stated. And that was with India and he apparently had asked you to take it out… Interview comes out and that part wasn’t taken out.” DJ Vlad clarified that there was a miscommunication between him and his editing team. He then took the opportunity to apologize to Durk and his partner regarding the mistake. It doesn’t sound like there will be any apologizes issued over this latest insult, though.

Oschino Claims Diddy Allegedly Propositioned His Friend For Oral Sex

by

Oschino recently sat down for a VladTV interview with DJ Vlad with some allegations and reflections concerning the Diddy scandal. “I mean, that’s the law, it says ‘innocent until proven guilty,’ right?” he began. “At least that’s what they say. You can’t pay $50 million to get out? Yeah, but it’s still allegedly. Everybody had bail, everybody. They told him, ‘No, Puff Daddy, we don’t want your money.’ I mean, that’s the number one news on TV. Then he got his kids, I mean, it’s sad. But he kind of brought it on himself, because he got a lot of responsibility with that kind of money, you know what I mean? Like, it’s no way I would be doing something illegal just for sex that risks me losing my empire like that. I haven’t met him, I was around him one time. But I heard stories about him a long time ago.

“I didn’t believe it because I just thought he was too cool for any of that stuff, you know what I mean?” Oschino alleged. “Well, somebody told me, he [allegedly] asked some guy I know, ‘Would you suck a d**k for a million dollars?’ This is, like, 20 years ago. It’s different if a n***a say that and he don’t got a million dollars. But if a n***a saying that to you and he got a million – But that’s the only thing. I didn’t believe it, though. At the time, I didn’t believe him. Because this was a long time ago. We was talking about something else. He said, ‘Yo, you know what boss said to me?’ But at the time, Diddy was, like, the s**t. So I just was like, ‘Man, you can’t say that, bro.’ I just didn’t believe him, you know what I mean? I looked at Diddy in a different type of light. I would think, if you got $900 million and stuff like that, you can make your girl do whatever you want.

Oschino Speaks On Diddy On VladTV

“You don’t got to do all the crazy stuff,” Oschino alleged. “He changed their life. So why they’re trying to make it seem like he forced everybody to do everything? Nobody’s never said nothing all these years. Everybody got all these stories about what happened. Why they wasn’t saying nothing before? I just don’t understand it. I just feel like everybody’s trying to get some shine off of it. But if you really felt like somebody was getting trafficked or somebody was underage, and you ain’t do nothing about it… They got a hotline. With him hitting Cassie in the hallway, that killed him. That killed it. Without that, he had a little faith, but that video, it killed it. You know what I mean? That right there just killed it. Especially when you got that type of, like… You Puff Daddy. Like, you the top. You should never have to do nothing like that because of who you are. It made everybody look at him different.

“I don’t like to judge people, ’cause everybody has their days and whatever,” Oschino concluded. “But you got $900 million, you can’t be doing stuff like that, bro. He needed somebody around him that wasn’t a yes man. You need one friend that don’t care about your money that’s going to tell you the truth. ‘Cause without that, I mean, what they say? Absolute power, absolute corrupts? Like, he just thought he could do anything, and he forgot. He forgot about consequences. See, regular people, we know about consequences. I’ve been to prison. I mean, I knew certain stuff that, like, ‘Oh, you did that? You know you can’t do that.’ But when you’ve been doing it for so long, and you feel like you can do anything, you [forget].”

DJ Vlad Accuses Jaguar Wright Of Lying About Interview Request

by

DJ Vlad and Jaguar Wright have both been in the headlines for their widespread perspectives on the Diddy scandal, but it looks like they don’t exactly get along. Moreover, Wright recently claimed that she received an offer from Vlad for an interview. She even showed an email allegedly from his team, although she didn’t reveal the specific email address it was from. Well, it turns out that the VladTV isn’t very happy about this, as he claims that the singer is lying and that neither he nor his team ever reached out to her for an interview.

“Jaguar Wright recently did an interview where she showed an email claiming we contacted her for an interview,” DJ Vlad tweeted on Thursday (October 10). “This is false. Only emails from @vladtv.com are invitations to the show. This is why she’s covering the email address. Like I said in the Piers Morgan panel, Jaguar Wright has never been invited to do an interview, and she never will be. This is someone who seems to be suffering from mental illness. Anyone who interviews her is taking advantage of a mentally disabled person for views.”

DJ Vlad Calls Jaguar Wright Out For Allegedly Lying About Interview Request

Elsewhere, Jay-Z and Beyoncé also reportedly and legally moved against Jaguar Wright, asking Piers Morgan to take down his interview with her. During this sit-down, she made a flurry of allegations against Hov in particular. “There’s rumors and then there’s nonsense and this is one step further,” the couple’s attorney Alex Spiro told TMZ. “This is a pointed and formal accusation of something. I felt it needed to be responded to. I think somebody reported it was a cease-and-desist. It wasn’t that. It was quite bluntly an ultimatum, which is to remove that false accusation that’s demonstrably false or a court’s gonna order you to. So, I think [Morgan] made the wise choice and acted accordingly.”

“[Jaguar Wright], unexpectedly, made several serious allegations about Jay-Z and Beyoncé during that interview,” Piers Morgan expressed. “As I said in the moment, they were not present to respond or defend themselves, but now they have. Their lawyers contacted us to say that those claims were ‘totally false’ and have no basis in fact, and we’ve therefore complied with a legal request to cut them from the original interview. Editing interviews is not something we do lightly at a show called Uncensored but like the proverbial cries of fire in a crowded theater, there are legal limits on us, too. And we apologize to Jay-Z and Beyoncé.”

Hurricane Chris Reignites 50 Cent Feud During Heated Debate With DJ Vlad

by

Hurricane Chris says he’s a better rapper than 50 Cent and can put together a much better performance than him in Shreveport, Louisiana. He shared his hot take during an interview with DJ Vlad published over the weekend. It comes after he and 50 feuded over the Humor & Harmony Festival, earlier this year.

“You [50 Cent] cannot out rap me. You do not make better music than me right now,” he said. When Vlad referenced Get Rich or Die Tryin’ and labeled it a “classic,” Chris admitted it was a great project, but didn’t move from his stance. “Song making, he don’t make better songs than me,” he countered. “If 50 was to make a song right now and I make a song right now I’mma smash that s**t. I make music way better than 50 Cent. I know it’s a fact.”

From there, Chris brought up the idea of performing in Shreveport. “If we were to perform in Shreveport, I perform way longer than 50 and I would rock that s**t way harder than 50 or anybody who f**king came to Shreveport because I go back since I was 15 years old in high school,” he said. Chris recently feuded with 50 over his Humor & Harmony Festival, which took place in Shreveport. Chris was upset that 50 didn’t platform enough local artists despite using his hometown with no connection to it. In turn, he labeled him a “culture vulture.”

Hurricane Chris Speaks On 50 Cent

50 eventually fired back by suggesting the “A Bay Bay” rapper is a one-hit-wonder, sparking a back-and-forth on social media. Eventually, Chris admitted that the two were done beefing.

DJ Vlad Squashes Marlon Wayans Beef During DJ Akademiks Interview

by

DJ Vlad and Marlon Wayans do not like each other. They may seem like they exist in two different worlds, but they can’t seem to stop arguing. At least, until now. Hell froze over for DJ Vlad on August 26. The hip hop personality decided to step back and reassess his comments about Marlon Wayans. He decided to apologize to the comedian during a recent interview with DJ Akademiks. He went as far as to say that he respected Wayans as an entertainer, and explained how their beef came to be in the first place.

First, context. During an interview with Aries Spears, DJ Vlad claimed that Marlon Wayans had been difficult to work with. He alleged that Wayans asked for $40K to appear on the Vlad TV channel, as well as 30% of future revenue from his episode. DJ Vlad considered both requests to be absurd. DJ Vlad and Wayans proceeded to exchange insults via social media when the latter caught wind of the trash talk. “You unprofessional my guy,” the comedian tweeted. “If you don’t like the number keep it moving. You look BAD. You should fall back. Mad at a black man stating his number? And now you go public and use your platform to try to drag me. I never in my life dealt with this silly negotiating tactic.”

DJ Vlad Admits He Acted Unprofessionally

Vlad admitted he acted unprofessionally during his new interview. “Honestly, at the end of the day, it was just a business negotiation,” he stated. “I could’ve kept it to myself. I overdid it.” Vlad then said that he would be open to working something out with Wayans in the future. “I do actually respect [him],” the DJ added. “That was the reason I approached [him] in the first place.” DJ Vlad also provided some of the reasoning behind his initial frustration. He felt as though Marlon Wayans failed to realize how big Vlad TV is, and didn’t take the negotiations seriously as a result.

DJ Vlad cited other hip hop personalities like Big Boy and Charlamagne Tha God as people that Wayans seemingly had more respect for at the time. That said, he has moved on from his initial resentments, and is eager to bury the hatchet. “My bad Marlon, I apologize,” DJ Vlad concluded. “It’s all good. I think most people just want to respect each other and I think it could have been handled a little differently.” Maybe we will get to see Wayans on Vlad TV one of these days.

Jason Lee Trashes BIA For “Horrible” Cardi B Diss Track

by

Jason Lee says that the diss track BIA released for Cardi B was “horrible” and explained his opinion on her music during an interview with VladTV. BIA dropped the track, “SUE MEEE?,” back in June after Cardi seemingly threw shade at her on the “Wanna Be (Remix)” with Megan Thee Stallion and Glorilla. At first, Lee thought there wasn’t any serious drama between them.

“It was horrible,” Lee began. “First of all, BIA’s birthday, we have the same birthday. We’re both Leo’s, August 16th. Happy early birthday BIA. BIA thought I hated her for so long because my staff would write about her sneak-dissing Cardi and she would say, ‘You’re tryna create all these problems between me and Cardi,’ and I used to get on my staff like, ‘Hey, please don’t create unnecessary beef between these girls if there’s no beef there.’ And, they were like, ‘No, but she’s sneak dissing her.’ And, I’m like, ‘Well, she’s saying she’s not.’ This was going on and on and on and then, Cardi felt the way she felt and I would say, ‘Oh, I talked to BIA. She’s not sneak-dissing you.’ And then all that happened.”

He continued: “It was like, you started a beef with somebody who is 10 tiers above your career for no reason other than to pander to Nicki Minaj probably. And, it backfired on you because that was a horrible horrible thing. It wasn’t like when Remy went after Nicki and ‘Shether’ literally ended that beef or Kendrick that just laid Drake to sleep in one song. This was a poor attempt to get what? To get a moment that fizzled away and now, nobody’s talking about you. And I think that BIA’s talented. She’s beautiful. She has a lot of personality. She’s a Leo like me. She had a lot of potential– she probably still does at some point, but that kinda was like, ridiculous.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Lee reflected on working with Kanye West and the staff that surrounds him. Check out his full comments on BIA below. Be on the lookout for further updates on Jason Lee as well as Cardi B and BIA on HotNewHipHop.

BossMan Dlow Responds To DJ Vlad’s Scamming Claims Amid Interview Debacle

by

BossMan Dlow has quickly become a premier talent out of the Florida rap scene over the last year. Numerous hits such as “Talk My S***”, “Get In With Me”, and “Mr Pot Scraper” have propelled him to this level. Even more impressive, all of them are on his 2024 project Mr Beat The Road. With so much support, he took the tape on a short tour, too. This period early on figures to be the springboard that will eventually lead him to become even bigger. However, early success almost always comes with roadblocks and this week is an example of that. On top of allegedly being arrested, BossMan Dlow is also dealing with some accusations from the likes of DJ Vlad.

Over an hour ago, the journalist called out the rapper’s supposed manager, Chris Silvers, of being difficult to work with. Vlad was getting into talks to get the MC on his platform for an interview, but the money has been an issue. Allegedly, Silvers has been refusing to give back the deposit while trying to get four times the amount they agreed on. This led to Vlad putting them on blast, lending a warning to anyone else who had plans of organizing something in the future. “I want to warn everyone out there who is booking @bossman_dlow. We recently gave his manager Chris Silvers a small deposit for an interview. After getting the deposit, he asked for 4 times the agreed upon amount and refused to return the deposit.”

Vlad then left off with, “D Low, you need to be a better Bossman and hire a real manager if you want to succeed in this business long-term”. But, according to the hitmaker, “My Manager @tymeoutt… It In All My Bio’s Never Heard of a mf Chris Silvers in my Life 😂😂😭”. However, DJ Vlad was quick to respond. “Yup – we were contacted from the same phone number that you listed on your official IG bio. Here is the proof. Like I said be a batter Bossman and get a real manager on your team.” So, someone is not telling the truth, or someone is impersonating as the rapper’s publicist.

What are your thoughts on BossMan Dlow claiming that Vlad is incorrect about who his manager is? Who do you believe is telling the truth right now? Do you think Dlow actually got arrested recently? If so what do you think it’s for? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding BossMan Dlow and DJ Vlad. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

BossMan Dlow’s Manager Accused Of Scamming DJ Vlad For An Interview

by

BossMan Dlow is in a pretty sticky situation right now, as a fan recently seemed to film Florida police arresting him and fans have many theories as to why. However, based on a recent tweet from none other than DJ Vlad, it seems like he might have another big issue to worry about when it comes to how he can move in his career. Moreover, the controversial VladTV host accused Dlow’s manager Chris Silvers of being a stingy negotiator and of withholding deposits over plans for an interview with the rapper. While there isn’t any public response from his team at press time, we’ll see whether or not this becomes more contentious in the future or if they clear up this misunderstanding.

“I want to warn everyone out there who is booking @bossman_dlow,” DJ Vlad’s tweet about BossMan Dlow’s manager read. “We recently gave his manager Chris Silvers a small deposit for an interview. After getting the deposit, he asked for 4 times the agreed upon amount and refused to return the deposit. D Low, you need to be a better Bossman and hire a real manager if you want to succeed in this business long-term.”

DJ Vlad Claims BossMan Dlow’s Manager Is A Scammer

While a lot of fans thought that, if true, this is a pretty low move on BossMan Dlow’s manager’s part, others were more quick to clown DJ Vlad for this incident. “So you got finessed [crying-laughing emoji],” one fan on Twitter replied to this warning. Still, Vlad was happy to explain things further and defend himself, and we’ll see how far that goes. “The person who made the booking for us got finessed. It wasn’t a big amount, but it’s just surprising that they wouldn’t return the deposit after changing the terms.”

Meanwhile, some other Vlad detractors think that Chris Silvers actually isn’t BossMan Dlow’s manager at all, adding to the “finesse.” At the end of the day, this is sadly a more common occurrence these days thanks to the nature of social media. But what’s definitely true is that Dlow has bigger fish to fry at the moment than a VladTV interview. Maybe they can actually lock it in one day and laugh back at what happened.

Wack 100 Weighs In On Polo G’s Beef With DJ Vlad

by

Wack 100 and DJ Vlad talked about several things in a new interview for Vlad’s YouTube channel. One of the topics that arose this time was Polo G. Specifically, Polo G’s issues with DJ Vlad. Police arrested Polo G at a Manhattan hotel for possession of a loaded firearm in April. His brother, Trench Baby, reportedly committed multiple crimes. Polo G previously referred to DJ Vlad as “the Feds” for some of his interview questions. Fans referring to Vlad as “the Feds” or as a “snitch” are the most persistent critiques of Vlad’s channel. Their tension culminated with a FaceTime call where Polo demanded to meet Vlad face-to-face, which Vlad declined.

In the new clip with Wack 100, Vlad emphasized his concern about Polo G’s livelihood. Vlad listed nineteen rappers he interviewed who’ve since died. Some were murdered, others died of other causes. Vlad pointed out the path Polo and his associates seem to be on. He remarked about having to bring his own gun to a meeting with Polo, since he and his brother still have one foot in the streets. Wack100 agreed with Vlad, drawing parallels to infamous family feuds.

Wack 100 Reacts To Polo G And DJ Vlad

“What they don’t realize, Vlad, is that you’ve been in the game for 16, 17 years. You’ve seen a hundred different scenarios that ended in jail, death, someone in a wheelchair, someone else being killed, said Wack 100. “You’re mimicking these nineteen people that [Vlad] interviewed that did exactly what you’re doing, and it ended in a tragic death.”

The authorities arraigned Polo G at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse in April 2024. A maid discovered a black Glock on the loveseat while she was cleaning his room at the Dominick Hotel in SoHo. The criminal complaint said the gun had one bullet ready to go and nine additional bullets loaded. He was also arrested on a weapons charge in August 2023, after police raided his home and found “numerous firearms.” Polo postponed his fourth album, Hood Poet, after the August arrest, and he has not announced a new release date. Maybe Wack 100 can mediate a conversation between Polo G and DJ Vlad.
