DJ Vlad says he wanted to have a conversation with Bleu over his previous comments.

Who doesn’t DJ Vlad have beef with these days? The controversial media personality has been at odds with, well, just about everyone these days, and it’s all turned into an opportunity for content. Most recently, Yung Bleu aired out Vlad after he received a text requesting a conversation. But according to Vlad, Bleu’s “scared to talk.” 

“People so scared to talk these days. They would rather run to the internet trying to go public with a screenshot,” he wrote on X in response to @2Cool2Blog reposting Yung Bleu’s Instagram Story.

The text exchange between the two saw Vlad reaching out before Bleu responded with a $50,000 fee for an interview. Bleu shared his YouTube analytics, stating that his numbers have been great even without an interview, while also mentioning the tension between Vlad and Boosie. 

“Lol I didn’t hit you about an interview. Just wanted to have a conversation about our past issues and take responsibility for the things I said in the past,” he said.

However, Bleu suggested that Vlad wanted to get him on his YouTube channel to try and further his beef with Boosie. “U def wanted a interview so I can go talk about Boosie cuz yall at odds,” he wrote. “I’m just letting u know u woulda sent thar I was gone block your numbers soons it hit.” 

Interestingly enough, this isn’t the first time Bleu’s accused Vlad of trying to create further friction between himself and Boosie. A few years ago, Bleu addressed both Boosie and Vlad in a song titled “Reading The Room,” where he rapped, “These n****s ain’t talking to me they talking to Vlad / Before you do another sit down, show 'em your badge.”
