DJ Vlad appeared for an interview on The Black Russian Podcast a few days ago, which eventually resulted in a feud with the Scary Movie star Marlon Wayans. The pair have been sharing multiple tweets after the interview clip went viral on different platforms.
The dispute emerged from Vlad's words, who disclosed Marlon Wayans' demands to appear on VladTV, which included a payment worth $40,000 and 30% of the journalist's revenue. Notably, CelebrityNetWorth states that Marlon's net worth is $40 million, which is more than Vlad's, whose net worth is $10 million.
The exchange of words between the duo began with Vlad sharing a post on Friday, August 16, through X (formerly Twitter) and writing:
"Marlon Wayans found someone with 200 followers to agree with him. LOL. Nobody on earth is going to pay Marlon $40K for an interview when he gets 100k-300k views on any platform he interviews on. This guy is really delusional."
While Wayans responded by saying that he was attempting to make a deal, he additionally criticized Vlad for making a big issue out of it. Vlad then explained himself by sharing another post which reads:
"Throwing out a stupid a*s number for an interview is unprofessional my guy - because your interviews don't even make 5% of that on every platform you do. And bringing up race when there was no mention of it throughout all our discussions shows how weak of a man you really are."
The beef further escalated with Vlad comparing the number of views received in the YouTube video of Marlon Wayans' interview on The Breakfast Club. Wayans later posted a screenshot of a Google search that mentioned the box office collections of his film and wrote:
"Here's why your platform is beneath me… i am legend bro. And that's just the beginning."
Furthermore, Wayans told Vlad to leave him alone, adding that he would make the latter regret the accusations he made in the tweets.
