DJ Vlad Denies Role in Bricc Baby’s Arrest

DJ Vlad is shutting down any talk that his platform, VladTV had anything to do with the recent arrests of Bricc Baby, Big U, and other alleged Rolling 60s Neighborhood Crips members caught up in Operation Draw Down.

The major RICO case accuses Big U, real name Eugene Henley, of running a “mafia-like organization” tied to murder, extortion, human trafficking, and more. 

With some people trying to connect VladTV to the indictment, Vlad made it clear in a TMZ interview that he ain’t got nothing to do with it. “I think in this particular case, VladTV doesn’t have anything to do with this case,” he said. He explained that while Bricc Baby was a regular on the show and Big U had done an interview years ago, they weren’t talking about anything current or incriminating. “There is no act of anything being talked about in our interviews,” Vlad stated. 

For years, people have accused Vlad of setting up his guests by asking incriminating questions that could get them caught up. Some even call him “the feds” for how deep he gets into street politics. But Vlad has always denied those claims, saying he just gives people a platform to tell their stories, and whatever they say is on them.

Still, with Operation Draw Down making headlines, folks are once again debating whether platforms like VladTV help or hurt the culture. While some say media has nothing to do with these indictments, others feel like these interviews put unnecessary attention on street business. Either way, law enforcement clearly had their eyes on Big U and his people for a minute, with or without any interviews.
