50 Cent was a gritty street rapper long before he was making millions as a television executive behind shows such as Power and Power Book II: Ghost. In 2000, he was shot nine times as he was leaving his grandmother’s home in South Jamaica, Queens — and survived.
The incident likely left much more than physical scars and reliving it over and over again presumably isn’t pleasant. So when the Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ legend noticed a recent VladTV interview with former friend and ex-Murder Inc. CEO Kal Dawson, he hit play and apparently didn’t like what he saw.
In the clip, Dawson claims he was with 50 Cent on the day he was shot, saying, “I was in the passenger seat, we pulled up in front of this house and we’re sitting in the car. Some kid had a hoodie on and a ski mask and he started walking towards the vehicle and we paid him no mind but as he got closer he pulled out a gun and started shooting.”
But 50 is calling cap on Dawson’s story, taking to Instagram on Tuesday (January 5) to put him on blast. After stamping a screenshot of the video with a big, red “fraudulent” across the top of it, he captioned the post, “I want this video taken down now!”
Host and creator DJ Vlad clearly got 50’s message and pulled the YouTube video down. It’s no longer available on his YouTube channel or the VladTV website.
Vlad’s platform has taken a series of hits over the last couple of months. Royce Da 5’9 wanted Vlad to apologize for allegedly misquoting Minister Louis Farrakhan during one of his interviews, prompting an all-out war on the long-running YouTube show. Frequent guests Lord Jamar and comedian Godfrey both pulled their support as the term “culture vulture” was flung all over social media.

Last month, one of Vlad’s interviews with Casanova was blamed for the rapper’s recent arrest despite the fact Vlad’s name was never mentioned in the FBI’s indictment.
Glad didn’t do anything to these corny ass ninjas. They went on and ran their mouth on their own!
To some degree true, but when he asks these Qs of some naive 16 yr olds who see it as a way out the projects via clout, it does seem rather predatory. Interviewing grown men who know better is different, but taking advantage of someone With limited worlds experience whose in fucked up situation is still wrong.
Vlad allegedly misquoted Louis Farrakhan is hilarious. Did he or did he not? It is there for all to see. This is journalism now, afraid to get attacked by either side so they hide behind the “alleged” term even when they are clear. Look back at what the Minister said, look back at what vlad said. If they aren’t the same, it’s a misquote. With regards to this story, Murder Inc. has had 0 value as a brand and 0 credibility since the beef with 50 so who cares what buddy says in a Vlad interview.
Why do people take this shit so seriously ? Its just a fucking podcast. Its fucking entertainment and Vlad makes sure the interviews arent boring. If he asks you some shit about a crime, just say I cant speak on that like Crunchy Black did and shut him down. Its fucking easy. All this BS about he is a hip hop cop is fucking stupid. And wtf is a culture vulture anyways ? I thought it was just a corny term made up by 6ix9ine’s baby mama to describe someone who can adapt ? Now its a bad thing ?
culture vulture been around for a long time. thinkin that 69’s baby moms coined the term?? Idk if you trolling or your too young to understand anyway.
The funniest thing about that post are the words REAL TALK and OG…. and then the message itself proving he is neither of those things lol. But as box said probably too young and detached from the actual culture to get it. Remember you can be a fan without feeling like you need to give an opinion.
Kal was blatantly lying about things in that clip. He might have been there in the car but he wasn’t the only one there with 50. Its common knowledge that another old friend of 50s was in the car too and got hit. I think vlad pulled all this guys videos down… he was talking about Supreme team and 50s mother SabrinA.
if you talk about dirt you did on camera. Your a fucking retard. You deserve everything you get. It has nothing to do with vlad. You’re. A. Retard. I seen homies get 20 fed time from MySpace pics. Shit I seen conspiracy charges (like cas) 10 years after the fact from VERBAL CONVERSATION. You’re. A. Retard.
all u culture vulture supporters kno who created basketball right? stfu wit dat shit already, jus makes u look butt hurt. actin like u created and own some sh*t u really dont..
Wow Vlad really in his feelings LOL….Funny you bring race into this (Although I’m sure your racist ass brings it into everything) but the culture Vlad is accused of being a vulture of is hip hop. Hip hop which is built of those who contributed to it (which yes is largely black, and that’s what YOU seem to have a problem with). Thing is that you don’t have to be black to have a problem with what Vlad is doing and that’s contributing negatively to something he is financially profiting off of. Hence Your ‘who invented basketball’ argument is beyond idiotic and has no parallel to this. It’s the equivalent of a Karen screaming all lives matter, just dumb racist shit. Understand now pee brain? Man it feels good to speak directly to Vlad! Haha
