Content creator Vlad recently revealed that a highly anticipated interview with rapper Top 5 fell through despite upfront payment and multiple confirmations. Vlad explained that he sent Top 5 a $3,000 deposit after assurances via daily FaceTime calls, booked a studio, and hired a cameraman, but Top 5 ultimately vanished on the interview day. Vlad chose not to take legal action, considering it a loss he would recoup through other work.

Trap Lore Ross, who spoke with Top 5 during a turbulent period following personal setbacks, expressed disappointment, noting the interview could have been a crucial, polished moment for Top 5’s career comeback—especially after controversial incidents. Ross acknowledged Top 5’s struggles but encouraged a focus on streaming and content creation as a positive turn. Both stressed the importance of transparency in the industry to prevent similar situations, highlighting repeated complaints from other creators about unprofessional conduct from Top 5’s camp.
