Marlon Wayans had a few choice words to say about resident culture vulture DJ Vlad following a dispute over the price the comedian charged to appear on VladTV.
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.https://t.co/xMtfKShL3c pic.twitter.com/sARe77u9Zr

The bad blood started between the two when Wayans demanded $40,000 for an interview on Vlad’s controversial channel, along with 30 percent of all future revenue earned from their sit-down. During a recent video interview with comedian Aries Spears, Vlad revealed Wayans’ demands. Some fans felt his asking price was more than fair, considering VladTV heavily relies on Black artists to maintain its popularity.
So yes this has become about race. You trying to turn us into crabs in a barrel. I see your angle now. I watched you play your hand. You want us to talk shit, beef and tear each other down while you sit back and make money. Meanwhile you don’t even show your face.

Vlad inserted himself into a conversation between Wayans and a fan, saying,
“Not mad at all. I find all this amusing because you really think that you’re worth $40K for an interview. I said there’s nobody on earth that will pay you that and I have yet to be proven wrong. Throwing out a stupid a** 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.”
Wayans, who is currently on tour with his latest standup routine, responded by saying,
“You been teetering on disrespect and I’ve been a gentleman up until this point. This was tactless, unprofessional and petty. You out here trying to tear down a king. You trying to instigate beef within my community and peers. It won’t happen fella. I’m loved. I’m worth whatever i say. People like you don’t make or break me champ. I’m self made. I go where i choose. I don’t like your tactics. I’ve been a gentleman. I didn’t express my grievances with other people. You trying to turn other Black men in my field on me. Asking them about my money?”
Well, he does have a point there. Although, what could one expect from someone who has repeatedly stepped out of his place to insert himself into a culture that is not his own?
See @djvlad this is the moment you’ve been begging for i asked you to LEAVE ME ALONE. Let it go. But you want to kick a bee’s nest. You can’t compete with me bro, I AM LEGEND. And occasionally I’ll come off the throne to spar with pions like you. Keep going. There’s levels to…

Of course, a Wayans is always going to have the last laugh. Marlon took to the internet to roast Vlad the way only a member of one of the greatest comedic dynasties could.

And then it was back to business as fans of Peacock’s Bel Air praised his return to the series as Will’s dad, Lou Smith. One thing for sure, two things for certain, a Wayans is going to do two things: stay booked and get a bag.
