A public dispute has emerged between hip hop personalities N. O. R. E. and DJ Vlad following N. O. R. E.’s refusal to participate in an interview on VladTV.

The conflict began when DJ Vlad called N. O. R. E. a “snake” and “selfish” on the Drink Champs podcast, expressing frustration over a lack of reciprocal media appearances. N. O. R. E. responded by defending his right to decline interviews and accusing Vlad of profiting from “Black drama,” comparing his media style to “The Jerry Springer Show.” N. O. R. E. also characterized Vlad as a “rat,” citing a past legal dispute involving rapper Rick Ross.

The feud intensified as DJ Vlad leveled counter-accusations against the Drink Champs platform. Vlad claimed that N. O. R. E. uses coercive tactics to pressure guests into consuming alcohol on camera, alleging that N. O. R. E. attempted to guilt him into drinking by suggesting he needed to “give back” to the culture. While Vlad has expressed intentions to respond further to the insults, N. O. R. E. maintains his stance that his refusal to interview was a personal choice based on Vlad’s media tactics.
