In a candid conversation with Trap Lore Ross, Vlad opened up about why he no longer conducts interviews with controversial figures like Charleston White and G Herbo. Vlad explained that maintaining trust with his audience sometimes means prioritizing honesty over appeasing guests, but balancing that with valuable relationships is crucial. For instance, he stopped interviewing Charleston White after Boosie, a close friend, asked him to due to White’s disrespectful comments about Boosie’s children. Vlad acknowledged that while Charleston’s interviews drew millions of views, protecting important relationships took precedence.

Vlad also reflected on his history with G Herbo, noting their early collaborations helped boost Herbo’s career, but as Herbo’s fame grew, the artist distanced himself and spoke negatively of Vlad. Vlad emphasized that loyalty from artists is often fleeting and that creators must sometimes risk burning bridges to serve their audience authentically. He praised how peaceful resolutions, like turning public beefs with Ali Choppa into successful interviews, can benefit all parties involved.
