Drake and DJ Khaled have both been called out by DJ Vlad for their silence regarding the current war between Israel and Hamas.
On Saturday (October 7), Israel declared war on the Palestinian militant group Hamas after an unprecedented attack that left more than 1,000 dead in Israel. Retaliatory Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have since killed at least 900 people.
While many are speaking up on the conflict on social media, Drake and Khaled have both been silent.
Taking to Twitter on Tuesday (October 10), Vlad had words for both of them, saying that because Drake was brought up Jewish and Khaled is Palestinian-American, they should speak out.
“Has anyone noticed that the most famous Jewish person on Earth, Drake, and the most famous Palestinian person on Earth, DJ Khaled, haven’t said a single thing about the Gaza-Israel conflict?” he began. “It’s not like Drake is too busy. He’s been writing paragraphs about Joe Budden hurting his feelings about his new album. DJ Khaled has been working overtime promoting his new Jordan sneakers. But both of them have been silent on this topic. Why is that?”
He continued: “It’s because both are so thirsty to maintain their relevance that they wouldn’t dare risk insulting a segment of their fanbase. Heaven forbid that Drake might debut at #2 behind Taylor Swift because some of his Palestinian fans chose to not stream his album. And it would be the end of the world if Khaled sold a few less sneakers because some Jewish people decided not to buy his Jordans.”
“That’s the difference between artists of today and timeless legends like 2Pac,” Vlad concluded. “You know damn well Pac would be the first one to speak out about something so close to home.”

This isn’t the first time DJ Vlad has called notable figures out on social media. Last month, the polarizing media personality took to Twitter to blast Nicki Minaj for a song snippet she released where she seems to imply that she has a gang that will shoot someone upon her command: “I can’t be playin’ with n-ggas, I married a G/ I got some n-ggas that do what I say, if I tell’em to shoot, they pull up on the three.”
“Nicki Minaj’s husband is on house arrest for threatening Offset,” Vlad began. “Right after that, she previews a song on IG saying she got killers who will pull up and do what she say. This was the same Nicki who threatened to send her husband to Akademiks’ house for his comments about her.
“This is the same Nicki who told Meek Mill to have his crew beat up Quentin Miller, which then happened. Have you ever heard a woman scream, ‘my man will fuck you up!’ over something she started herself? That’s Nicki.”
He continued: “If you want to see how these stories end, check out my interview with Travis Rudolph. After an argument with his girlfriend, she sent her brother and 3 other guys to shoot up his house. One of them ended up dead, another one got shot.
“Travis was charged with murder — which he luckily beat in trial due to self-defense. To all the men out there, I don’t care how fat her ass is or how good the sex is. Avoid women like Nicki who use men as crash dummies like the plague. I said what I said.”
Minaj did not respond.
Speak out about what? What are they going to do or say that really matters? Do their hashtags make people feel better?
But does Ja Rule have to say about this?
I need him to make sense of all this…
Yes, that would clearly solve so many problems, if drake and khaled spoke out against it. Maybe they can even protest too? It would bring peace to the Middle East! Stfu Vlad , cornball
They shouldn’t speak on it, they’re not political, they’re musicians.
Vlad, where were you when President Zelensky stood up and applauded a Ukrainian SS soldier?
Next to this Ukrainian cheering a man who fought for Ukraine
Vlad is an atheist and practices Judaism when its convenient for him!
This is actually a fact. There’s a video on his platform where he says he’s atheist. I don’t remember who he was interviewing though.
Can’t wait to watch the Boosie interview about Israel and Hamas.
Lmao!!
Dem supporters gonna stay silent. They spoke loud in support of Yews after Charlottesville. But they scared of the Squad now so they stay silent. Yhe woke left is a cult of hypocrites.
It’s frankly weird that people in this country who have no real ties to Israel or Palestine act like they care. Like real shit is going on here in our own back yard dog. Like Africans go through shit everyday, he isn’t up in arms like this about black people not “speaking out,” like that’s going to do shit anyway. It’s really weird.
Rappers dont like to speak for the hood! Only for then OWN asshole is on fire! Do Some twerking Drake, butcher, lil b…..
I wish Nicki Minaj would stick her hairy butthole in my face while farting while Drake is tickling my butthole while Birdman is sitting on his face while farting while Juvenile is slapping Birdman’s balls
