DJ Vlad, owner of VladTV, weighed in on the Drake/Kendrick Lamar beef and ended up in a beef with a Black Princeton professor.

Vlad was trending on social media because he threatened to get a Princeton University professor fired for comments she made on Twitter (X).

The interviewer and business man, real name Vladimir Lyubovny, issued a veiled threat to a Black Ivy League professor over her critique of his take on the Kendrick Lamar versus Drake feud.

It all started on Saturday (May 4) following Kendrick’s consecutive responses to Drake in their ongoing beef. Vlad, on the social media, remarked Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” needed a better mix. “It takes away from the song,” he said.

Morgan Jenkins, a New York Times bestselling author and member of the faculty at Princeton University, replied stating the Kendrick vs. Drake feud was “a BLACK FOLK AFFAIR.”

“Wait, so a professor at @Princeton is telling me that a white person shouldn’t be allowed to voice their opinion about Hip-Hop?” he said. “Is that how you interact with your students?”

Jerkins clarified, expressing that his input was unnecessary in a dialogue meant for Black voices.

Vlad then seemingly threatened Jenkins, hinting he would attempt to get her fired from her post at Princeton University. Vlad mentioned the notion of including the incident on her “permanent record.”

Social media has since erupted with commentary, with many condemning Vlad’s actions as an overstep.

Comedian Kevin Fredericks, aka KevOnStage, said, “Vlad is whack for a myriad of reasons, but in this you can tell he saw a Black woman and a predominantly white university and tried to use his whiteness against her. DISGUSTING.”

Similarl, activist Phil Moreland said, “Take your power back and unsubscribe, unfollow and unattach yourself from #VLADTV@adam22 and all the other POSERS who are NOT FROM THE CULTURE!!!! We Hunting VULTURES all Summer Hoe!!!”
