DJ Vlad has another tofu beef on his hands. Hip-Hop’s most hated interviewe and Marlon Wayans had a heated exchange over the actor’s interview price demand.
As reported by Bossip, the media personality has another celebrity on his head. Last week, VladTV released a clip of a new Aries Spears interview. During the sit-down, Vlad revealed that he recently retracted his Marlon Wayans invite after the actor had asked for $40,000 dollars and 30% of the revenue earned from the content. “There’s no one on Earth that will pay you $40,000 for an interview much less 30% on top of that,” Vlad said. “At one point we got on the phone… I had to break it down to him. If you look at your recent interviews… you get around 300,000 views. That’s a few thousand dollars in YouTube revenue.”
As expected, this clip soon went viral and landed on Marlon’s radar. To which the White Chicks star took to X, formerly known as Twitter, and proceeded to slander the media personality. “You mad? You unprofessional my guy. If you don’t like the number keep it moving. You look BAD. You should fall back,” Marlon Wayans responded. “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 continued on with his pettiness and shared more posts antagonizing the comedian. “Not mad at all. I find all this amusing because you really think that you’re worth $40K for an interview,” he retorted. “I said there’s nobody on Earth that will pay you that, and I have yet to be proven wrong. Throwing out a stupid ass number for an interview is unprofessional my guy – because your interviews don’t even make 5% of that on every platform you do. And bringing up race when there was no mention of it throughout all our discussions shows how weak of a man you really are.”
This is not the first time DJ Vlad has been called a culture vulture. The likes of Lil B, Lord Jamar, Tyrese, Slim Thug, and even New York Times bestselling author Morgan Jerkins have called him a culture vulture. You can view Vlad discuss the situation with Aries Spears below.
