In a candid interview with Trap Lore Ross on Vlad TV, DJ Vlad revealed a wild story from his early days involving a fake kilo of cocaine. Vlad explained how he once gave a former drug dealer friend $17,000 to buy a brick of coke, inspired by the movie *Deep Cover* and naive ambitions of building a drug empire. However, the brick turned out to be fake, and Vlad never got his money back. Reflecting years later, Vlad realized that getting scammed actually saved him from possible jail time. The scenario forced him to accept his limits and pivot away from the illegal lifestyle, choosing instead legal business ventures. Vlad also shared that his old acquaintance now works in a tech company, but when Vlad reached out for a follow-up interview, the man ghosted him. Vlad treated the betrayal as a lesson in integrity, emphasizing he prefers to pay debts and avoid criminal entanglements. This story highlights Vlad’s unusual path from near criminal involvement to respected media figure.
