DJ Vlad is no stranger to controversy in the hip-hop world, often finding himself at the center of debates involving artists and fanbases. His latest clash, however, has taken a legal turn as he files a copyright infringement lawsuit against Joyner Lucas. Vlad claims the rapper reposted a VladTV interview clip of Aries Spears mocking U.K. hip-hop without getting permission or giving credit, and allegedly made money from it.

Following the news, the Massachusetts rapper fired back with a fiery response on Twitter. “When you get sued Becuz you ain’t wanna do a interview,” the “NVM” artist wrote. “SMH lame na been stalking me for YEARS to go on his weak a channel and when he finally realized I won’t sit down with his bh a because I hate everything about him, he decides he gonna try to extort me out of one instead.. Smh @djvlad YOU GOTTA BE THE BHEST OF ALL BH N***AZ ALIVE. You wanted clout so bad so here’s your clout… [clown emoji] hoe.”

Lucas also shared screenshots that appeared to show DJ Vlad offering to drop the lawsuit if he agreed to do an interview, along with a screenshot of his own reply. “Dear vlad.... Suck my dk,” Lucas wrote. “Call your attorney and do whatever you have to do. I wasn't ever doing an interview with you before in this lifetime and your def not getting an interview now. So settle your legal matters however you want to settle them py. I always thought you was a bh and this just confirms the kind of bh you are. No way in this lifetime or the next will I ever allow someone like you to try to extort me out of an interview. You got me all the way f**ed up.

DJ Vlad later responded to the ADHD 2 artist on Twitter, later sharing the post on Instagram. “I’m going to respond to Joyner Lucas’ temper tantrum over me suing him for copyright infringement later this week,” he wrote. “Everything I’ll talk about will be facts. They’re gonna skip that part, though.”

It’s a tense back-and-forth that feels reminiscent of other feuds covered on VladTV, including 6ix9ine’s recent interviews. For now, fans will have to wait and see how the situation unfolds between the two.
