In a revealing interview with VladTV, DJ Akademiks weighed in on the recent fallout between Boosie Badazz and VladTV. The longtime collaborator and fan favorite on the platform unexpectedly quit after disagreements over compensation. Akademiks explained that Boosie’s claim of being paid only $5,000 was misleading, as Vlad revealed he actually pays Boosie $25,000 per interview—an amount considered industry-leading. Akademiks praised Vlad’s transparency in addressing the matter publicly, suggesting the true conflict was more complex than fans understood. He noted Boosie seemingly underestimated VladTV’s value, “He thought he was bigger than the program.” While multiple interviews and collaborations had promoted Boosie’s brand, tensions rose when money became the sticking point. Akademiks, known for his candid takes, emphasized that such conflicts often stem from self-made challenges and complex business dynamics. Despite the fallout, both Vlad and Akademiks expressed hope for reconciliation down the line.
