Marlon Wayans Roasts DJ Vlad for Saying He’s Not Worth $40K

Marlon Wayans and DJ Vlad engaged in a heated exchange over the weekend after Vlad claimed the comedian wasn’t worth $40,000 for an interview. The dispute began on Friday (Aug. 9) when Vlad aired an interview with comedian Aries Spears, in which they discussed Marlon’s $40K price tag for appearing on Vlad’s platform.

The video quickly garnered attention from Marlon’s fans, who voiced that the price wasn’t even high and that Marlon usually charges more. The Bel-Air actor agreed, mentioning he was trying to give Vlad a deal. Vlad, however, countered by arguing that Marlon’s average view count on other platforms ranges from 100,000 to 300,000, making the asking price unjustified in his opinion.

In response, Marlon criticized Vlad’s approach, saying, “You mad? You unprofessional my guy. If you don’t like the number, keep it moving. You look BAD. You should fall back. Mad at a black man stating his number? And now you go public and use your platform to try to drag me. I never in my life dealt with this silly negotiating tactic.” Vlad quickly shot back, maintaining his stance that Marlon isn’t worth $40K for an interview, and found the whole situation amusing.

Marlon wasn’t about to let it go, defending his worth vehemently. “I’m worth whatever I say,” he insisted. “People like you don’t make or break me champ. I’m self-made. I go where I choose. I don’t like your tactics. I’ve been a gentleman. I didn’t express my grievances with other people. You trying to turn other black men in my field on me. Asking them about my money?”

As the feud escalated, Marlon began mocking Vlad’s appearance, particularly his beard and hair transplants. Vlad retaliated by making comments about Marlon’s sexuality, pointing to his roles in White Chicks and a “recent gay photoshoot” as evidence that Marlon should “come out of the closet.” He also asserted that he was heterosexual, responding to Marlon’s jabs about attractiveness.

Marlon saw Vlad’s comments as an open invitation to further his roast, firing off a string of insults directed at Vlad. “See this is the moment you’ve been begging for. I asked you to LEAVE ME ALONE. Let it go,” he wrote. “But you want to kick a bee’s nest. You can’t compete with me, bro, I AM LEGEND. And occasionally, I’ll come off the throne to spar with pions like you. Keep going. There’s levels to this sh*t.”

He continued to ridicule Vlad with posts such as, “Yo @djvlad, your beard is made from Ice Spice’s a** hair,” and, “Hey, shave some of that bullsh*t nappy beard and use it the next time you go to Turkey to get one of those hair transplants you be getting.” Another quip read, “Yo @djvlad, your beard looks like roadkill. Like some animal I hit on my way to the Poconos.”

Fans were left to sift through the back-and-forth, as the conflict provided more insight into the tension between Marlon Wayans and DJ Vlad. The ongoing spat has left many wondering how far this public feud will go and if it will impact either’s reputation moving forward.

Marlon’s wit and Vlad’s persistent assertions have kept followers glued to their screens, with both parties staunchly defending their positions. It remains to be seen if this clash will be resolved or continue to fuel further public drama.
