In a candid VladTV interview, music manager Wayno opened up about his fallout with Dave East during the rapper’s highest moment—the release of his album *Paranoia*, which peaked at number nine on the Billboard 200. Wayno, who was managing Dave during this time, revealed their professional relationship crumbled amid creative and personal differences. Frustrated by a chaotic studio environment filled with Dave’s growing entourage, Wayno once kicked everyone out to focus on the project, which reportedly strained their rapport.
Wayno also detailed a critical incident where he held a meeting with his artists and producers about collective progress without inviting Dave. This exclusion upset Dave, leading to mounting tensions that culminated in Dave East firing Wayno. The split marked the end of their working relationship.
Wayno also touched on the difficulties VladTV faced in securing interviews with Dave East during that era, attributing cancellations to shifting priorities and management issues. Despite the fallout, Wayno recognizes Dave East as an important chapter in his career journey.
