In 2023, Vlad and DJ Akademiks discussed the ongoing beef between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B. The hosts argued that if the two artists decided to squash their beef and work together, they could potentially increase their net worth by 25%. Akademiks expressed his neutral stance, although he highlighted his past experiences of hostility with Minaj. They talked about a past physical altercation that had occurred between the two rappers at the Met Gala. The two female rappers have reignited their feud by trading insults on social media.
