The unexpected apology has caught fans off guard, especially considering Vlad’s reputation for being unapologetically blunt in his interviews and social media presence.
The Beef That Started It All
The drama between DJ Vlad and Marlon Wayans began earlier this month when Vlad made some cutting remarks about the comedian during an interview with another guest. Vlad criticized Marlon’s career and comedic style, questioning his relevance in the industry. The comments quickly spread across social media, leading to a wave of backlash from Wayans‘ fans and supporters.

The back-and-forth between the two quickly turned into a full-blown feud, with fans and celebrities alike chiming in on the situation.
Vlad’s Apology
After days of social media tension, DJ Vlad took to Instagram to address the situation. In a surprising move, he posted a lengthy message apologizing to Marlon Wayans for his comments.
“I want to publicly apologize to Marlon Wayans,” Vlad wrote. “My comments were out of line and unnecessary. I respect Marlon as an artist and as a person, and I regret that my words caused any hurt or offense. We all make mistakes, and this was one of mine.”
Vlad went on to acknowledge that his platform carries weight and that he should have been more mindful of how his words could impact others. “I understand that what I say can affect people in ways I didn’t intend, and I’m committed to doing better moving forward,” he added.
Marlon Wayans’ Response
Marlon Wayans responded to Vlad’s apology with a short but pointed tweet: “Apology accepted. Let’s all do better.” The tweet was met with a wave of support from fans, who praised the comedian for taking the high road and moving past the drama.
While some fans were surprised by Vlad’s apology, others saw it as a necessary step in de-escalating the situation. Vlad’s platform has been known for its sometimes confrontational interviews, and this incident has sparked conversations about the responsibility that comes with having such a large audience.
What’s Next?

Many are calling for more accountability from media personalities who have the power to influence public opinion, especially when it comes to how they discuss other artists.
As for DJ Vlad, only time will tell if this apology marks a turning point in his approach to interviews and commentary. For now, both he and Marlon Wayans seem ready to move forward, leaving the drama behind. But in the world of entertainment, where egos and opinions often clash, anything can happen.
DJ Vlad Apologizes to Marlon Wayans
DJ Vlad and Marlon Wayans got into a heated argument on X (formerly Twitter) after an interview deal fell through, with the controversial media figure calling out the White Chicks star. Recently, Vlad expressed a change of heart and apologized to Wayans, admitting that he had acted unprofessionally.
Vlad invited DJ Academics to his platform for a chat, and they discussed it with the 52-year-old actor. “At the end of the day, it was just a business deal,” he said. “I could have kept it private. I overdid it.” Vlad also expressed interest in collaborating with Wayans in the future.
$40,000 Interview Fee Controversy
In a snippet from his VladTV discussion with academics, Vlad addressed the situation involving Wayans, which arose over the actor’s $40,000 asking price for an interview. Vlad explained that the fee would have been a bad business decision and would not have benefited either party.
He stressed that he respects and admires Wayans, but wishes he had been more understanding. However, Vlad admitted that it was wrong to publicize the negotiations on social media.
“Marlon, I apologize for jumping out of a window and talking like that. You didn’t deserve it because, in the end, it was just a business negotiation. I could have kept it to myself; I overdid it,” Vlad said. “Maybe one day we can work something out because I really respect you. That’s why I reached out to you in the first place, hoping you’d recognize what I’ve done over the years.”
Wayans responds calmly
The 52-year-old comedian previously feuded with Vlad in August over a $40,000 interview fee and 30 percent of future earnings. Vlad called the price “misleading,” believing that an interview with Wayans would only get 300,000 YouTube views.
Wayans said he was “out of it” and cited texts in which Vlad accused him of saying “fuck you” and trying to reduce the fee to $5,000. When Vlad discussed the price with Aries Spears, Wayans was insulted, which was seen as an attempt to pit the two comedians against each other.
“That’s when it got tough. How can you tell another black man my business? How dare you. Now you’re trying to put us in a vat and put me and Aries at odds… That’s why I’m not messing with your platform,” Wayans said.
Even after Vlad’s apology, Wayans insists he never held a grudge and has accepted the apology.
“I had nothing to do with it. Just have some respect for my name. Don’t come at me like that. I’m a peaceful person,” he said. “If you read our writings, you’ll see that I’ve been classy the whole time.”
