DJ Vlad and N. O. R. E. engage in public feud

Media personality DJ Vlad and rapper N. O. R. E. are engaged in a public dispute following accusations of cultural exploitation and unprofessional conduct. The conflict intensified after N. O. R. E. appeared on his platform, ‘Drink Champs’, and subsequently declined to participate in an interview on VladTV, labeling Vlad a ‘culture vulture’ who benefits from Black drama.

N. O. R. E. also accused Vlad of being a ‘rat’, referencing a 2008 civil lawsuit Vlad filed against Rick Ross. In response, DJ Vlad has leveled serious allegations against the ‘Drink Champs’ platform, claiming N. O. R. E. uses coercive tactics to pressure guests into consuming alcohol on camera. Vlad stated that N. O. R. E. previously attempted to guilt him into drinking by suggesting he needed to ‘give back’ to the culture since he has profited from it.

Vlad has expressed his intention to respond further to the insults, while N. O. R. E. maintains that his refusal to interview was a personal choice and a reaction to Vlad’s own media tactics.
