DJ Vlad responded to Joyner Lucas’ accusations by defending his lawsuit and calling out the rapper’s intelligence and conduct.

Vlad dismissed Joyner Lucas‘ claims of extortion and clout-chasing after AllHipHop revealed he was suing the rapper for copyright infringement.

The media character addressed the controversy throughout a current interview, saying he’s merely imposing his rights after Joyner Lucas reposted a VladTV clip with out permission.

“He doesn’t seem very smart to me,” Vlad mentioned. “They [Joyner and his manager] do not seem very smart to me. At the end of the day, I’m just protecting my content.”

The authorized dispute stems from a July 6 put up on Twitter (X), the place Lucas shared a VladTV video that includes comic Aries Spears mocking British rap. Vlad claims the reposted clip had his watermark eliminated and was used to advertise Lucas’ music and merchandise.

The video reportedly racked up 4.4 million views.

According to the lawsuit filed in California federal court, Vlad and his firm, Hot In Here Inc., are searching for as much as $150,000 in statutory damages, authorized charges, and a courtroom order to stop Lucas from utilizing the content material once more.

Vlad mentioned he tried to settle the matter privately, even providing Lucas an opportunity to seem on his platform. Instead, Lucas responded with a profanity-laced message, accusing Vlad of making an attempt to stress him into an interview.

“When you get sued because you ain’t wanna do a interview. SMH lame n#### been stalking me for YEARS to go on his weak ass channel.”

In one other put up, Lucas added, “YOU GOTTA BE THE BITCHEST OF ALL B#### N##### ALIVE. You wanted clout so bad so here’s your clout…” together with a screengrab of AllHipHop’s story.

Vlad pushed again on the accusations, saying, “At the end of the day, nobody’s extorting Joyner Lucas. It’s about me protecting my content. All right? I’m spitting facts!”

The lawsuit was filed quietly, in keeping with Vlad, who said that Lucas had made the state of affairs public. “He’s the one that went on every social media platform and told everybody. Who’s clout-chasing? Me or him?”
