Vlad opened up about how VladTV has been a pivotal force in elevating his career beyond music.
Despite already having financial success, Vlad emphasized his relentless drive to be “the best and most impactful” in the media space, fueled by his competitiveness and passion for VladTV’s platform. He recalled how VladTV’s interviews have changed the trajectories of many artists, including high-profile names like Tekashi 6ix9ine, whose label increased support after their interview aired. Vlad also revealed exciting upcoming projects, hinting at a major deal currently in the works. Looking ahead, he expressed hope for leaving a lasting legacy, even mentioning talks about getting a Hollywood Walk of Fame star for digital media contributions. Tony Yayo acknowledged his appreciation for VladTV being a launching pad early in his career, underscoring the platform’s role in shaping careers without the backing of major publicity machines.
When asked by Yayo how he stays connected to the streets and consistently books interviews, Vlad credits his reputation and active involvement in the community. He explains that when many street figures get out of prison, they often reach out to him first for exposure, citing Terrace “Gangster” Williams and Ali Zo as examples of artists who have benefited from initial interviews on his platform. While Vlad acknowledges the risks associated with his guests, he notes the inevitability of death for everyone, addressing the misconception that many of his interviewees have died prematurely. Beyond reputation, Vlad stays vigilant by monitoring mainstream news and niche forums to spot rising figures before they hit social media, ensuring he remains in tune with street culture and fresh stories.
