In a candid interview with Charlamagne, DJ Vlad addressed the controversial perception that appearing on VladTV can ruin an artist’s career. Vlad firmly denied this notion, stating that his platform has actually helped build careers, citing examples like Tony Yayo, who credits VladTV for boosting his international recognition. Vlad explained that while some believe incriminating interviews on his channel lead to legal trouble, in reality, cases against artists like Taxstone, Casanova, and Ar-Ab were unrelated to their VladTV appearances. He emphasized his commitment to protecting guests, including refusing FBI and police requests for original footage and even spending $10,000 fighting legal demands to safeguard interviewees. Vlad also discussed his approach to interviewing—focusing on truth over clout—and revealed he prefers to keep his personal life private, resisting turning relationships into promotional content.
