Twitter has launched an all-out virtual war against DJ Vlad and promptly wants him canceled. The VladTV host made some misleading comments about Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan last month that didn’t sit right with Royce Da 5’9. Consequently, the Bad Meets Evil MC took the time to make sure Vlad knew how he felt.
In a more recent Instagram video, Royce explained he still wanted an apology from Vlad, but Vlad said he would only publicly apologize to Farrakhan if he was able to sit down with him and tell him directly to his face.
“I did a video telling him that I want him to apologize, but I simply stated if you don’t apologize then you can’t have a relationship with me,” Royce explained. “I don’t feel like it’s that big a deal. I feel like it’s Vlad disrespecting the culture. I don’t feel like it’s that big of a deal because he’s been disrespecting the culture. Now, you’re taking personal shots at Dame Dash, one of our heroes, and making him out to be a bad father. And this is only appropriate in this business because we allow it.”
He added in the caption, “Wait…. What did I just watch? Vlad really might need to be humbled… The Minister? In person? Ya’ll didn’t laugh at that? Brave man in a complicit business.”
Royce then explained he called Vlad shortly after he demanded the initial apology and said they “communicated like two intelligent individuals.” He added he didn’t expect Vlad to understand why Farrakhan is important to so many Black people, but he insisted he be respected. He also scoffed at the notion Farrakhan would ever sit down with Vlad for an interview.
“Not only are you not getting an interview with the minister, you would never sit in the same room as the minister,” he said. “Who the fuck do you think you are, man? Why are y’all talking about this like this is even realistic? That’s a joke. That’s a farce. That shit will never happen. This has nothing to do with Minister Farrakhan. We don’t need you to like Farrakhan brother.
“You have to respect the culture, and I was just giving you the opportunity to do so while there’s no repercussions to you not apologizing. That’s when you show if you really have respect for the culture. That’s when you show, ‘Oh, I’m a guest in the house of Hip Hop and I’m a proud guest in the house of Hip Hop.’ That’s where you show it. You chose not to. You chose to use that as a moment to flex your muscle. But you’re not strong.”
The Motor City rapper then reminded Vlad Rick Ross allegedly ordered his entourage to once beat his ass, saying, “You know who you’re never going to disrespect again DJ Vlad? Rick Ross. Because he spoke to you in a language that you understand. You heard loud and clear.” But Royce said he wouldn’t “relapse as a man and resort to easy, easy acts of violence.”
In 2008, Vlad sued Ross to the tune of $4 million for allegedly launching a “brutal attack” on him at the Ozone Awards in Houston. He suffered a cut that required seven stitches below one of his eyes, three facial fractures, a corneal abrasion and possible permanent nerve damage. Two years later, a judge awarded Vlad $300,000.
Royce Da 5'9 Demands DJ Vlad Right His Minister Farrakhan Wrong
On Tuesday (September 22), Vlad mentions blew up on Twitter shortly after Lord Jamar (one of Vlad’s most consistent guests) and comedian Godfrey decided to join Royce “in solidarity” and discontinue their support of Vlad.
Check out some of the reactions below.
Man fuck Royce and Farrakhan!! Farrakhan is a known fuckin racist. How can you possibly defend that man? You know the man got Malcom X killed as well. If I was Vlad I wouldn’t apologize to someone who is clearly delusional and calls all white people devils and were made in a laboratory by a scientist named Yakub. The NOI really got Royce fucked up in the head
White people are devils…..the Yakub shit is crazy talk tho. The word Devil mean deceiver/liar and it is 100% fact that the so-called white man is the biggest liar on the planet.
You sir are a racist and can go fuck yourself. It can never be a fact when you have never met every white man on the planet. You sound dumb as fuck. That’s like when bitches say “Men ain’t shit” but in fact they have never slept with every man on the planet.
A white basketball player should come out and say all blacks are guests in the house of basketball, wonder what the reaction would be to that!! The player would immediately be labeled a racist and fired on the spot… So why is it OK for black people to say whites are guests in hip-hop?? Seems like a double standard to me!
Thats because they can’t. Best believe they would if they could but #1. the black star athletes run the league now and #2 the white american star ball player is nearly non-existent now save for the europeans but there’s a difference. Now Vlad has a right to voice his opinions on whatever but when your so dug into black culture what you say is going to have consequences. Simple.
Go ahead .. have basketball … if it wasn’t for the white devils you’d still be in a hut being eaten by lions … you are welcome
Correction…we kill the lions and use em for wear like the King of Zamunda and bask in our black culture you so obviously envy….you are most welcome.
“The culture” is entertaining … that’s it … like watching a movie … “the culture” glorifies crime, violence, misogyny, and no personal responsibility … nothing to envy there at all … all “the culture” offers is entertainment … nothing else … so thanks for dancing for your peanuts … come back when you actually have something positive and meaningful to add to humanity
If that’s all you gotten from the culture then you completely missed it. I can substitute”whyt history” for this “culture” you speak of and come up with the same thing. But I expect nothing less really, point the finger and degrade while you continue on with you treachery. That’s in your nature. But carry on colonizer, keep your eyes glued to the TV and be entertained. We don’t discriminate here. And maybe I’ll indulge in some positivity while im at it, like some garth brooks maybe or some carrie underwood, you know how we love blondes
I agree black people have amazing culture and history. But not a fan of these decision makers on who lets who in. Vlad is corny. He is annoying. But he hasnt disgraced the culture at all if anything his platform is one of the most unique ones out there. Royce is mad but Vlad doesnt decide who the people tune in to. He does it better than the other guys and it wouldnt be a problem if he were black.
I’m sick of being grouped in with ignorant white dipsh*ts like yourself. Your an embarrassment and I’d sleep you on site!
First off let’s be clear u need to learn ur history africans and Hispanics built empires it was u europeans who were savages we were kings u europeans didn’t know or have shit
Europeans clearly knew about boats and had enough bananas to convince you to ride them to the cotton fields
Yeah, and now white people run hip hop and the most successful rapper ever is white so your counterpoint is ridiculous. Think about how the “guest in the house of _____” convo would sound (or sounded) when jackie Robinson was trying to get into baseball and black people in general getting into all other sports. I don’t agree with the idiot who said the shit about huts, but there is truth to black people not getting called out for mad racist behavior. The very behavior that they detest when it is done to them.
My point isn’t ridiculous. You just can only see things through your whyt lens. Whyt ppl run the music industry which includes rap. They do not run hiphop. Hiphop doesn’t exist in the corporate boardrooms. Hiphop is a living breathing culture. It lies with the people, those who recognize the struggle. These things don’t have to be explained, if you know you know. Em is one of those whyts that recognize the struggle, he is probably the most successful rappers if you go by the shear numbers. But Em himself would tell you he is not the most successful rapper, you wanna know why he would say that?? Cuz he has too much respect for the culture. He would name like ten other rappers ahead of him, LL Cool J being one of him. Its all about respect. I would gladly have someone like him as a brother in hiphop. I can’t say the same for the rest of yous who come on hiphop sites just to degrade & demean something you obviously consume and like.
And LL Cool J’s first album was produced and put out by Rick Rubin who unfortunately for your point is white. Sometimes people just wanna contribute and do right by the culture and may happen to be white. I pray you find some peace and remove some of that hate ya got built up.
I dont know if you’re a clown but you are definitely clown-like in this moment. I recognize the struggle, I support black causes, I also recognize hypocrisy. I have spent my life among people of all races, and those who live in the same integrated society understand the BS black people go through but they also understand that the fellow white person isnt the enemy. You dont have to be black to have empathy for the black struggle, but it doesnt mean you have to agree with every bit of nonsense the SJWs are trying to push. We should be striving for equality and inclusion (which is what those who are oppressed or feel oppressed claim) yet they refuse to include or treat others as equal when it comes to their shit. Pure hypocrisy when on one end you say “let us in, we want ownership” and on the other you say “nah, no whites. Y’all are guests”
They run the league so they cant be guests? You know how many white people run hip hop too? Its all stupid. Im sure those guys invented hip hop and basketball so only their people could play it. FOH…If Someone is called a guest its fair to ask to see the title because from where i stand Rick Rubin had as much input as anyone.
Anyone else just rubbed the wrong way by everything Royce does and says these days? It’s really making me not like him. I recognize he’s a great rapper but he needs to stop with his social justice act
That’s why I didn’t care for the last album. It got too preachy. I’m all for uplifting the culture but take notes from Nas or Jay, Kendrick. They do it in a way where it’s not SO HEAVY but still get their points across. It’s hard to take Royce music about that kinda stuff to heart after knowing how crazy he use to talk on records
A lot pink people feeling salty in these comments
And lots of darkies out there thinking they special and above criticism…bunch of fucking delusional cry babies
ur momma b!tch!
Lame ass bitch
Dame dash is one of your hero’s lol? 50 year old running around like he’s 20 – keep that Royce
He’s talking about in the hiphop culture not a hero like that it’s so funny how niggaz so quick to hate and talk shit
Ask State Property about him. Or Jim Jones. Or Jay-Z. Or anyone who has ever dealt w him for 15 minutes. Now he is a hero lmao
I have no reason to watch Vlad anymore if Jamar and Godfrey aren’t going to be on it….They were the only guests I liked.
Wow so now vlad is cancelled. Could have been cancelled for other things a long time ago. Who tf cares about a supremacist, anti white ideologist. Oh because he’s black. Of course. Defend at all cost
Farrakhan’s views are at the very least debateable. The Left has lost their shit. You don’t deserve an apology personally because someone you admire had their controversial views challenged.
The left isn’t a monolith my guy, if you look just a little you’ll find plenty of people on the left that don’t like him.
Had to google monolith and you’re right. Should’ve specified..the far Left.
Ah dang dude, I thought you had a high school vocabulary at least, my bad.
In all seriousness though everyone with half a brain cell knows that Farrakhan is a weird conspiracy theorist cult leader. I’m glad others here are calling out his ties to Scientology.
The far left is the part of that party that has the most control.
“it’s not that important”
…then proceeds to talk another 35 minutes about it. WTF lol
Nor is he angry lmao
Why is it that the two most serious members in the history of the NOI were assassinated, Minister Malcolm X and Minister Khalid Abdul Muhammad? Why doesn’t Royce ask Farrakhan why he has been selling his faithful membership to David Miscavige and the Church of Scientology? He can also ask Minister Tony Muhammad how is it possible that he received the Church of Scientology’s highest honor, the Medal of Freedom (Tom Cruise has this medal as well), when he is not a member of the Church? Then Royce can look in the mirror and ask himself why he is so desperate for attention, especially when it’s not coming from his music, which is likely the source of his psychological desperation for any kind of attention. Royce needs to also be aware of the fact that being a waste man and a wack nigga has nothing to do with talent, it has everything to do with behavior, the kind of behavior he’s displaying. It’s these fools fault for allowing Vlad to gain so much power. Their desperation for attention, and snitch like willingness to so eagerly talk to him, is what has allowed him to think he can say whatever he wants. Funny, because he can say whatever he wants, doesn’t make it facts, just makes it an opinion. As well, what culture is he talking about? Hip Hop is a collection of art forms’disciplines, and the expression of these art forms. How does one actually live Hip-Hop??????? Please educate me!!!!
And remember, a culture is made up of more than just art, what is the Hip Hop diet? What is it’s worldview? The root word of culture is cultivate, what does it cultivate?
If you don’t know then obviously you’re trying to infiltrate ??♂️ typical colonizer mentality
??
Farrakhan is like black scientology. It is not “the culture” lmao. Royce needs to take a break from the internet.
Done w Royce and his racism dividing us all even more. Why are u obsessed w Vlad Royce? Of all the people who are true vultures u choose the guy who has helped more rappers than anyone i know of promote their projects. He is entitled to his opinion and if its all about disagreeing w farrakhan the line starts here and its long. Miserable people making up false narratives. Black people wanna blame so many things for not progressing as a race but its never the false “ministers” and “reverends” who reach in their pockets and never ever ever ever bring their people up. I know you hate whitey Royce but watch what happens next time you drop sometjing and 75% of your sales are gone.
You obviously don’t know what the hells going on. You can’t speak for anyone but yourself Black people aren’t concerned with what you’ve”think” of us but we will FORCE you to take notice
The pro white racism is prevalent as usual in here
It’s scary to think Dame Dash is Royce’s hero. Dame Dash hurt alot of people business wise. Blew alot of money.
But Royce did release an album this year so that’s respectful. He’s gotta be careful like we all do.
Fuck Farrakhan
I think Vlad is a moron…but I would never respond to a man demanding I apologize to another grown man. Love Royce, but who the fuck is you to demand an apology for another grown man. Farrakhan don’t need you to defend him man, you sound like a Karen.
Not sure what Vlad said but some people idol worship Farrakhan which wrong in itself. There is only One God and certainly no human. quranix. org
Vlad got Charlamagne now lol he’s the biggest draw
Here come anti-white anti-Semitic Royce again…talkin all that Crap when you got like 10 interviews with Vlad bro smh. Oh so NOW he’s disrespecting the culture?! But you didn’t say nothing during them 10 interviews did you? Vlad been doing the same thing since he started but since you’re on a “Woke” rampage now it’s time to call him out…man I was a big Royce fan but he been acting like a Mark lately str8 clownnnnn
Do you know what a Semite is? Because it certainly doesn’t just mean what you believe it to be! GTFOH!
Think of the irony here. Royce who is obviously a huge racist and hates white ppl and uses his “platform” to constantly spew his hated toward white ppl would literally not be anywhere right now if it weren’t for a white guy giving him a huge hand.
Devils advocate, yet Islam is the worst thing to happen to African men and women in human history. Whites banned slavery before blacks, before Islam. Whites went to great measures and costs to patrol the Mediterranean and stop the slave trade. Britain even gave away land to Germany as a trade deal to get them to stop slave trading. Please research.
what does any of that have to do with a man the the black community holds in reverence…stop ur mayosplaining
You have to be a bot! ???
Wuahahahaha you are so dumb…you must had too much pork
This is why I only listen to white and Latino rappers. I phukkin hate ‘y’all’ so much LOL!!!
I preferred Farakhandi…..you see pork is the white man and the white man is pork! Knick Knack paddy whack…give the dog a bone! Always in the green…never in between! The Wayans destroyed the NOI in that sketch. You bean pie lovers need to realise the culture is no longer public enemy back by the NOI. It’s not 1987. As for celebrating Vlad’s assault, that’s why some blacks will never be accepted at a corporate level. There’s rules to civilized business. You aren’t accepted if you can’t live by them. It’s pathetic you need that explained. You won’t get what you want using violence against professional white people when you disagree. Only court cases. Or maybe jail or shot by the police. These attitudes are what keep you at the bottom of society. Businesses will never deal with black people if they think there’s a risk to their safety.
If all whites just die the world be so much better
Same people who defended Farrakhan’s right to free speech when he was deplatformed want to take Vlads First Amendment tights away. You can’t have it both ways. Not arguing that Vlad isn’t a vulture or anything? But rap legends and gate keepers becoming SJWs and trying to cancel Vlad is some bum ass shit
Vlad has been a parasite since day one and up until now has constantly stirred the pot and tried play rappers off against each other. But this is where the line is? Eddie Griffin also took a dig at Farrakhan as well, I don’t remember anyone getting outraged over that.
Vlad is the best he gives all these rappers publicity and uses his platform tp help the black culture and some people catch feelings and noW wanna cancel Him dumb as hell
