DJ Vlad has been a staple in the Hip Hop media industry for quite some time, and in a recent interview he confessed that the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department tried to approach him for help in the investigation into Keefe D, the man who allegedly murdered 2Pac.
In a sit-down with Bomb1st on Friday (September 29), the VladTV owner claimed that he, like many others close to the case, was “surprised” that Keefe D was arrested for the 1996 murder. However, he said, he wasn’t sure if they were going to take the accused killer to trial, or if the prosecutors were simply going to plead him out.
What’s more, Vlad said, he could have had a much bigger role in the investigation had he chosen to, because he’d interviewed several key players — including Keefe D himself — for his site.
“They tried to go down that route,” he said, referring to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. “I’ve gotten a bunch of phone calls and emails and stuff like that. But I’m not cooperating with this.”
When pressed further, Vlad insisted that he wasn’t interested in turning over the so-called “uncut” versions of his interviews, which is what the police seem to be after. “My thing — and I’ve always held this stance when it comes to people — is that I’m not going to have you come to my platform and do an interview with you, only to then work against you with the police,” he said. “Regardless of what people think I really do, the reality is … if you interview on my platform, and the police try to approach me on it, I’m always going to say no.”
Check out the full interview with Vlad below.
According to court documents obtained by HipHopDX, Davis has been charged with the Category A felony of “murder with the use of a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang.” The prosecution is alleging that Davis murdered Pac at the behest of the South Side Compton Crips.
The motive for the killing, according to the prosecution, was “retribution” against the “Dear Mama” rapper, as well as former Death Row CEO Marion “Suge” Knight. Davis will be arraigned on Wednesday (October 4) for the crime.
2Pac was shot multiple times in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996. Six days later, he died in hospital from his injuries, cutting short the life of one of Hip Hop’s most influential figures.
He didn’t have to, my man wrote a book detailing the killings as well as did several interviews.
Vlad has dug way too deep into the 2pac saga.
Vlad’s a bum
You probably defend child molesters. Go cry.
Strange to randomly bring up pedophilia. You must be registered in your town. Stay away from kids bro
Yeah, I can’t stand VLAD. Dude is just taints hip hop with square white boy vision.
Vlad told the police “yes” the instant he uploaded those interviews. Police didn’t have to ask him for anything…

Oh, you believe there’s parts of the interviews he didn’t upload because he said so. Vlad hit you with the 52 Fake out and you bit on it. What undercover officer wants to blow their cover? Police didn’t need any “unuploaded content” because the uploaded content is more than enough…
Dfuk r u talking about dunce. The clown been snitching on himself for decades but somehow dj Vlad is responsible? I swear this site attracts low IQ muppets with these dumpster fire articles.. go back to school dumny
Vlad = The Feds
I mean, he did though.
Ah hip hop…. Where we constantly despair over unsolved murders of artists then brag about refusing to cooperate with investigations.
That ain’t Hip Hop. That’s ‘hood culture.
Same fools turn around and whine about how no one cares about us…
They should be shunned.
“rap snitches, telling all their business. Sit in the court and be their own star witness. Do you see the perpetrator? Yeah I’m right here”
This Ebenezer Scrooge lookin white boy has no business diggin into street politics.
