Lil Woody Asks DJ Vlad If He’s The Police And Recalls Demanding $50K For An Interview

December 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

VladTV recently hosted Lil Woody for an interview, who had a pretty funny moment with DJ Vlad while they were talking about the Young Thug and YSL RICO trial. For those unaware, Woody testified in court against Thug and company, although he then moved against the State in what was a pretty confusing and controversial series of events. During this conversation with Vlad, he even asked him if he’s with the police since he apparently knew that he was released from prison before everyone else. Vlad denied everything, and Woody gave the media personality his props while inquiring on his process.

In fact, DJ Vlad and Lil Woody even talked about how the former allegedly wanted $50K for an interview, but they couldn’t work it out. Also, Vlad didn’t want to interview Woody while he was still involved with the YSL RICO trial, as his media appearances showed up in court. Elsewhere, the YSL affiliate also reflected on how he lied about Young Thug as a hostile witness and what that whole controversy taught him. It was a tough choice, but one that he’s happy to unpack.

Lil Woody Asks DJ Vlad If He Works With The Police

“If the first judge stayed on that case – I’ma shut up,” Lil Woody told DJ Vlad. “When you sitting right here protecting yourself from whatever things they’re trying to put on you – if you go look at my past, every time I went to jail, I went to jail for them throwing charges on me. So, when they question me, I know they’re trying to get me. So what am I gonna do? I’m gonna protect me. I’m not expecting these people to actually take my word because even when they asked my name, I ain’t commit no crime, I’m driving a car, ‘What’s your name?’ I give ’em somebody else’s name. Y’all know I’m a liar.”

Meanwhile, DJ Vlad also opened up about the YFN Lucci stabbing. For those unaware, an alleged YSL affiliate stabbed Lucci in Fulton County Jail back in March of 2022, which Woody labeled as a “lame” move. Also, he reflected on facing similar attacks during his time in prison.

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

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

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

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.

I think my interview with her would have been her biggest interview if I had free reign to do the interview I wanted…

— DJ Vlad (@djvlad) November 7, 2024

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.

Tony Yayo Thinks NBA YoungBoy Has Too Much Money To Be Worrying About Prison Time

July 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tony Yayo’s latest interview with DJ Vlad on VladTV let his fans know that he’s about the money above all other things. Moreover, at one point during their conversation, they got around to discussing NBA YoungBoy’s 48-charge case for alleged prescription drug fraud, which has found the rapper in yet another legal bind. However, according to the G-Unit affiliate, YB doesn’t really need to worry about prison time or about facing criminal charges when he’s sitting on so much money. In fact, Tony said that he would spend ten years in prison for $100 million without flinching, suggesting that this amount would do far more for others rather than just himself.

Furthermore, this statement from Tony Yayo emerged amid reports of YoungBoy’s earnings during his house arrest period. According to Wack 100, his prolific release schedule and commercial relationship to his music (masters, publishing, distribution, etc.) netted him anywhere between $50 million to $100 million within a single year. The Baton Rouge MC has certainly dropped a lot of material while out in Utah, but that doesn’t stop these numbers from being quite impressive. Of course, we don’t really know for sure how much money he actually generated, but with such a ravenous fanbase, we guess we can’t express too much surprise.

Tony Yayo Speaks On NBA YoungBoy’s Legal Issues And His Financial Success

Still, other rappers on VladTV have had other thoughts on YoungBoy’s situation, with Boosie Badazz being one guest who offered a more empathetic perspective. “I just feel like when you need help, you need help,” he remarked. “I was facing jail time. This is right before I went, and I couldn’t get off the weed and codeine. I needed help. When I got to prison, I did more codeine than I was doing on the streets. I needed help. It was no amount of time that I was facing that could make me get off it… I was sent straight to prison, I was never even offered rehab.”

Meanwhile, apart from YoungBoy, Tony Yayo also spoke with DJ Vlad about the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef… because why wouldn’t they? Jokes aside, he specifically gave a theory as to why some rappers are scared to diss Drizzy because they want to go to Canada without any issues. Some pretty interesting examples definitely emerged regarding this, with both Rick Ross and ScHoolboy Q facing some trouble up north. Let’s see what else comes of this, and whether or not YoungBoy would really remain behind bars for a big bag.

Ray J Receives Bizarre Offer From Luenell To Do OnlyFans Content Together

July 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Luenell’s recent interview with DJ Vlad on VladTV took a pretty lewd turn when they broached the subject of Ray J. Moreover, she offered to do OnlyFans content with him, remarking on his impact on the adult entertainment industry thanks to his tape with Kim Kardashian. The comedian spoke on all of the intrigue around him and his salacious past, hilariously blasting Paris Hilton’s own explicit video in favor his and Kim’s. Sadly, this isn’t the most wild or out of pocket remark on the singer and sexual relations that emerged as of late, as Shannon Sharpe recently caught flack for his comments on his experience with sexual abuse as a 14-year-old.

Speaking of Sharpe, Luenell actually tried to shoot her shot with him and secure a spot on the Club Shay Shay podcast, and we still don’t know if she’ll be successful in her attempts. “Hey @clubshayshay, I like private planes too,” she wrote on Instagram. “Lemme [know if you want] a lil mid-air kitty kat (meow). Oh well, we can talk about it when I come on the show one day. @clubshayshay @shannonsharpe84 #LueNatiks tag him & let him know I stand on BUSINESS.”

Luenell Wants To Do OF Content With Ray J

As for Ray J, he recently dealt with blocked access to the 2024 BET Awards and a fight with Lemuel Plummer, so he’s in a rough spot. “I’m really at a breakin point!” he wrote of these incidents. “To provide for my family and have generational wealth was always the plan. But money is evil and people are bad and I can’t take it anymore. These chain of reactions are stemming from being locked in a false reality / confused by this whole life! The s**t that happened tonight to me at the awards today was hurtful.

“I’m working backstage and then I go take a break in the back and BET wouldn’t let me back in for some reason,” Ray J concluded. “I don’t know who they didn’t want me to see. It was weird. Anyway I left and went back to silence my frustrations. Flashing back to my everyday thought of my life. The [given] truth is a LIE!”

Wack 100 Reveals Why He Didn’t Attend Kendrick Lamar’s “The Pop Out”

July 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After talking a whole lot about Kendrick Lamar’s “The Pop Out” concert in Los Angeles on Juneteenth, Wack 100 finally revealed why he didn’t attend during a recent interview with DJ Vlad on VladTV. Moreover, he first clarified that he’s got a close relationship with K.Dot and TDE, and that his absence wasn’t because of any beef. Apparently, previous scheduling and commitments, such as rebuilding a podcast studio and tech issues the day of the show, prevented the music executive from showing up. In fact, he said that he only remembered the concert was going down once a friend texted him after it ended. Finally, Wack said that he doesn’t feel the need to attend every one of Kendrick’s events due to their strong connections and his respect and appreciation for the Compton native’s music.

Previously, Wack 100 explained why his client The Game wasn’t at Kendrick Lamar’s “The Pop Out” either. “If Kendrick or anybody from that camp needed Game, he would’ve been there,” he remarked, adding that his appearance would’ve taken away from the spotlight on more current and young acts. Of course, a lot of fans instead presumed that there were issues between Game and Kendrick’s camp given some previous alleged rifts and the former’s relationship with Drake. But it seems like things are still not as clear.

Wack 100 Explains Why He Didn’t “Pop Out” At Kendrick Lamar’s Juneteenth L.A. Show

“I don’t think Kendrick set out to unite the Crips and Bloods,” Wack 100 said of Kendrick Lamar’s “monumental” Juneteenth performance. “That wasn’t his angle. I think Kendrick set out to pull up those up-and-coming, underground artists of greater L.A. I don’t think Kendrick’s whole thing was to unite the Crips and Bloods. His whole thing was to show unity amongst all. And, guess what? If you one of those that’s been hustling and been getting it, and you just so happen to be a Crip, or Blood, or whatever you may be, it’s, ‘Come on. We welcoming all with open arms.’”

Meanwhile, Wack 100 probably has bigger fish to fry right now. A judge blocked his attempt to bail Keefe D out of prison, and it’s unclear how that Tupac murder case will progress. Still, we’re sure we will get some sort of update sooner rather than later. Let’s see what future statements will shed more light on that debacle or on the West Coast dynamics of “The Pop Out.”

Wack 100 Addresses Judge’s Refusal To Let Him Bail Keefe D Out Of Prison

July 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Wack 100 sadly failed in his attempts to bail Keefe D out of prison, and returned to the very source of this failure to address it. Moreover, he hopped back to DJ Vlad’s studio for another VladTV interview, during which he talked about the judge blocking his bail attempts for the Tupac Shakur murder suspect due to questioning his motives. For those unaware, the court found that the music executive’s intentions in bailing Keefe out were questionable, as he posited making a media series out of his story and could not prove that he didn’t have a business incentive in his release.

Still, Wack 100 maintains that Keefe D is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and that said business dealings are lawful as a result. He remains committed to make some money with Keefe, real name Duane Davis, but it’s clear that his legal situation will impact their ability to collaborate and make something out of his story. Perhaps Wack’s course of action now is to stay out of the case until it wraps up, and then he can determine whether or not these business partnerships are viable.

Wack 100 Speaks On Keefe D’s Bail Situation

Elsewhere, Wack 100 has other hot takes and assessments to dish out, including his latest comments on the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef. “Of course Drake can come to California and L.A. and still move around. Ain’t nobody looking to do anything to Drake,” he recently shared on DJ Akademiks’ livestream. “A huge L for Drake,” Wack said of folks cosigning K.Dot. “The worst part about that was YG. [Drake] name-drops him. Drake can never perform that song and mention YG’s name.”

Meanwhile, it seems like Keefe D and his legal team are still confident that they could secure bond in the murder trial and eventually get him out of there. It’s overall been a pretty complicated and unclear legal process, especially since it deals in a decades-old crime and a whole lot of conflicting reports. And it’s not just Wack 100: we’re sure a lot of people would drop everything at the sign of making content about Keefe. So we’ll see how that develops, and whether there will be any legal repercussions for it.

FBG Butta Boasts About Allegedly Beating Up Chief Keef

June 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

FBG Butta recently sat down for a conversation with DJ Vlad on VladTV, and they kicked things off by talking about the one and only Chief Keef. Moreover, things began with Vlad asking Butta about the fact that Sosa is returning to his first show in Chicago in over a decade this summer, since he was previously barred from performing in the city. He said that Keef probably knows that he will be safe this time around because of the city’s efforts, but also said that it could be a sticky situation since his crew has a lot of in-house beef. In addition, Butta claimed that he even beat Sosa up back in the day over a girl before he was famous.

Furthermore, this was a pretty curious story to hear, and you can check it out starting at the 2 minute mark of the video below. Regardless of FBG Butta’s alleged tussle, Chief Keef’s upcoming Summer Smash show is just one of his many accomplishments this year. He just dropped the long-awaited Almighty So 2, whose energy, songwriting, and production cement it as one of the best albums of the year so far. The Chicago MC may have delayed this for a long time, but now that it’s here, a lot of fans couldn’t have asked for more.

FBG Butta’s New VladTV Interview: Watch The Beginning To Hear The Chief Keef Story

As for FBG Butta, Chief Keef wasn’t the only fellow Chicago rapper that he spoke about, as this very same interview with DJ Vlad held some more interesting remarks. Most notably, he claimed that Lil Durk is with “the feds” due to his involvement in many cases in which he walked out a free man. “His s**t got brought up way more than mine,” Butta claimed. “And he got some money too… He’s the feds, gang.” For good measure, he also included some record label and Illuminati conspiracies to tantalize the tale.

Meanwhile, Chief Keef also continued to develop his strong collaborative bond with Sexyy Red this year, so who knows what the duo might have next? Whether or not this FBG Butta story is true, there’s certainly a lot more to say about the Chicago rap ecosystem. It may catch notoriety for its scandalous violence and interpersonal relationships, but these elements go far beyond just hip-hop. We’ll see if things pick up for the city in this regard, and whether its exponents can come together more fruitfully.

Wack 100 Explains Why He Thinks Diddy Is Going To Prison

May 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Wack 100, like many other celebrities and regular folk online, has been commenting a lot on the various lawsuits against Diddy for alleged sexual assault, abuse, and sex trafficking. However, he has a very particular reason as to why he thinks that the Bad Boy mogul might face jail time that doesn’t have much to do with the current narrative against him. Moreover, the music executive gave his theory during his most recent interview with DJ Vlad, who recently uploaded a clip of it to the VladTV YouTube channel. Wack explained that one particular issue could rope Sean Combs into a scheme that goes far beyond just rap music or the entertainment world.

To sum it up, Wack 100 posits that Diddy is allegedly a drug mule that has the ability to testify whether or not they gave substances for him to distribute, use, or give away. This, in his view, would make the New York native liable for ten to 15 years in prison if these drug trafficking allegations are true, which they have not been confirmed as at press time. In addition, Wack also spoke on Cassie’s alleged cooperation with federal authorities, which he thinks won’t help his case at all. Finally, he theorized that supposed links to underage individuals could pose entirely new legal ramifications that would only further serve to taint Puff Daddy’s image.

Wack 100 Speaks On Diddy’s Legal Obstacles

“Diddy,” Wack 100 began a video reacting to the footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway. “I just seen that video. You’s a b***h a** n***a. And I hope, if whatever happens to you happens to you, I hope Big Freddy and Deebo Eddie strap your a** down. And I hope nobody come help your a**. It’s going down. You did this.”

Meanwhile, Wack 100’s other conspiracy theories involve Megan Thee Stallion allegedly lying about the Tory Lanez shooting. “Meg’s a liar,” he told Hollywood Unlocked‘s Jason lee. “Oh it’s f***ed up, [the pieces of evidence] are coming out one way or another. They’re just delaying it because they’re trying to get it in court. If they can’t get it in court, it’s going to hit the net. And when it hits the net, they’re going to see that it’s an innocent man in jail.”

Tony Yayo Says 50 Cent Funded Entire “Final Lap” Tour Himself

February 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Since kicking off his Final Lap tour in July of last year, 50 Cent has gone on to perform in over 70 cities across over 20 countries. Fans and peers alike have praised the hitmaker for riveting performances, undeniable work ethic, special guests, and more. Recently, Tony Yayo opened up about how impressed he was by the tour, also revealing that the entire operation was funded by Fif alone.

During a recent interview with VladTV, the rapper described being blown away by what it took to make the tour happen. “Everybody’s coming there, of course, to work for 50, ’cause 50 cuts the budget. But when you think of everything that’s behind it, from production, road management, catering, dancers, f*ckin’ stewardess on the jet, pilots — everybody’s like one big team,” he said. “And 50 pays for everything.”

Tony Yayo Reflects On The Final Lap Tour

According to him, everyone’s also paid pretty well, including himself. Elsewhere in the interview, he shared details of how much Fif’s managed to rake in with the tour. He says that on merch alone, he’s made a killing. “His merch is in the millions. He’s an icon,” he explained. “You can ask anyone — the people that ran the tour from Live Nation — they’ll tell you, ‘Your favorite rapper can’t do what 50 just did.’”

He was later asked why he didn’t use the opportunity to sell some merch of his own. Tony Yayo says he simply didn’t feel a need to, as he was already making more than enough. “I don’t ask for too much. I’m making six figures, so why would I bother you for more? It’s cool. I’m not worried about that. Trust me, I’m making a great check […] The money is great, the money is excellent,” he said. What do you think of Tony Yayo revealing that 50 Cent paid for everything on his Final Lap tour? Are you surprised? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
