DJ Vlad has addressed the recent fallout with rapper Boosie Badazz, who announced he would no longer do interviews on VladTV after Vlad declined a $5,000 increase in his appearance fee. Vlad explained their 20-year relationship, noting Boosie had been paid $25,000 per interview when views averaged around six million. However, Vlad presented data showing Boosie's viewership and revenue had declined by about 10-15%, while Boosie requested a 40% fee hike to $35,000—an amount Vlad said would force him into a loss due to associated production costs, including travel and editing. Vlad also dismissed claims that jealousy over higher payment to Tekashi 6ix9ine had sparked the dispute, pointing out Tekashi’s interviews had far greater reach. Vlad respects Boosie’s decision to self-produce future interviews and hopes their dynamic can be reunited in the future, emphasizing the longstanding friendship behind their business ties.
