DJ Akademiks questioned DJ Vlad about handling interviews with controversial figures like Kanye West, particularly if they voice antisemitic remarks. Vlad highlighted that canceling an individual often only bolsters their core fan base unless they can no longer create content. Despite having Jewish roots, Vlad emphasized that he doesn't wish harm upon Kanye and noted that he views Kanye's provocative statements as a mix of performance art, mental illness, and trolling. He argued for not being overly reactive to inflammatory words, suggesting people shouldn’t disregard an entire person’s accomplishments based on a few negative comments. Meanwhile, DJ Akademiks pointed out the potential dangers of normalizing controversial rhetoric, as it may shape public perception undesirably. Vlad acknowledged this concern but believed that the general public can discern between genuine and performative expressions and that such rhetoric inadvertently shines a light on significant global issues.
