DJ Vlad has defended his copyright lawsuit against Joyner Lucas during a conversation with Wack100, explaining that the rapper reposted a VladTV interview segment featuring Aries Spears discussing British hip hop artists without authorization and with the branding removed. The clip appeared while Lucas engaged in public disputes with UK performer Skepta, seemingly bolstering his arguments in that exchange.
Vlad stated he contacted Lucas's management, offering three resolutions: purchasing licensing rights for the footage, recording an interview for the platform, or facing legal proceedings for infringement. Lucas declined all proposals and responded with profanity while challenging Vlad to pursue court action. The rapper subsequently shared their private exchange on Instagram, accusing the media personality of attempting extortion to force an interview appearance.
Lucas has not addressed Vlad's latest statements and maintains his refusal to collaborate with the platform.
