DJ Vlad Faces Backlash for Criticizing Kendrick Lamar Production: A Timeline of Events

DJ Vlad Faces Backlash for Criticizing Kendrick Lamar’s Music Production

DJ Vlad found himself in hot water after criticizing the production of Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” over the weekend. The controversial figure, known for his interviews with hip-hop artists, was swiftly put in his place by Princeton professor Morgan Jerkins.

Jerkins, who is also the niece of producer Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, called out DJ Vlad for his comments, stating, “You are WHITE. This is a BLACK FOLK AFFAIR.” The exchange quickly went viral, with DJ Vlad threatening to get Jerkins fired from her position at Princeton.

After facing backlash for his remarks, DJ Vlad attempted to backtrack, claiming he never intended to file a complaint against Jerkins. However, his actions were met with skepticism, with many calling out his insincere apology.

In response to the criticism, DJ Vlad offered a formal apology to Jerkins, stating, “After considerable reflection, I would like to apologize to @MorganJerkins for tagging her job in my replies during our Twitter exchange last weekend.” However, many were quick to point out the lack of sincerity in his words.

As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how DJ Vlad will address the situation in future interviews. Jerkins, on the other hand, has yet to respond to DJ Vlad’s apology, with many agreeing that she deserves better than his hollow gestures.
