In a candid interview with Mikki Mase, DJ Vlad revealed a heated conflict with rapper Joyner Lucas and his manager over unauthorized use of Vlad's copyrighted content. Vlad explained that Joyner reposted one of his videos—originally mocking UK rappers—with the logo removed, ignoring copyright protections. Despite attempts to negotiate an interview or compensation, Joyner's response was hostile. Vlad shared a text from Joyner telling him to "suck my d***" and dismissing any legal concerns, leading Vlad to initiate a copyright lawsuit seeking $150,000.
DJ Vlad criticized both Joyner and his manager for unprofessional behavior, noting how the manager irresponsibly forwarded incendiary texts. Vlad emphasized the seriousness of copyright enforcement in the digital age, contrasting it with artists who cooperate and legally share content. "If you don’t f*** with me, don’t use my shit," Vlad said bluntly. The dispute highlights ongoing challenges around content ownership in hip-hop and digital media.
