DJ Vlad Calls Rory ‘Racist’ Amid Tweet Controversy

The ongoing debates surrounding white figures in hip-hop media have taken a heated turn. Following the resurfacing of controversial tweets from Rory Farrell, former co-host of The Joe Budden Podcast, DJ Vlad has publicly accused him of hypocrisy and racism.

Vlad’s Accusation: ‘Rory Has Always Been Racist’

DJ Vlad took to Twitter to express his feelings of vindication, directly addressing Rory’s past criticisms of him. Vlad tweeted, ‘Rory spent years talking s**t about me, trying to push the ‘I’m white but I’m not like Vlad’ narrative. He was right. Now, everyone sees that Rory has always been racist towards black women. I’m nothing like him.’

This accusation comes after Rory’s old tweets, many of which were retweets, resurfaced. These included statements like ‘I’ve never saw a good looking black woman,’ and generalizations about Black women’s preferences for white men. One tweet allegedly referred to Beyoncé as a ‘hoodrat.’

Rory’s Apology and Vlad’s Own Controversies

Rory has since apologized for the old tweets, though he believes the situation has been overly sensationalized. It remains to be seen if he will directly respond to DJ Vlad’s latest accusations or let them slide.

It’s worth noting that DJ Vlad himself has faced criticism regarding race. Last year, a Black Princeton professor called him out for commenting on Kendrick Lamar’s diss track ‘Not Like Us,’ stating Vlad shouldn’t weigh in on a ‘Black folk affair.’ Vlad’s subsequent public call for the professor’s firing only intensified the backlash from hip-hop fans.

The Wider Impact

This exchange between two prominent white figures in hip-hop media is likely to draw further reactions from the community. Even Joe Budden, who reportedly squashed his own beef with Vlad, could be drawn into the conversation, adding another interesting dynamic to this ongoing saga.
