Hip-hop media personality Vladislav Lyubovny, also referred to as DJ Vlad, discovered he wasn’t as popular within the rap community as he thought after an internet exchange with a Princeton professor after Black Twitter called for his dismissal.

It began on Saturday, May 4, when Kendrick Lamar dropped “Not Like Us,” his latest contribution to the countless diss tracks aimed toward Drake over the past week. While most listeners were impressed by the Bay Area influence on the DJ Mustard-produced beat and the catchiness of K. Dot’s lyrics, DJ Vlad turned his attention to other areas.

Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” needed a greater mix. This takes away from the song,” he wrote on Twitter.

Morgan Jerkins, whose X profile lists her as a school member in Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts creative writing program, responded to Vlad’s tweet by saying, “You are WHITE. This is a black people’s issue.”

Jerkins’ response outraged the DJ-turned-journalist, who then threatened to fire her.

“Wait, so a professor at Princeton is telling me that a white person shouldn’t be allowed to express their opinion on hip-hop?” Vlad stated before asking, “Is this how you interact with your students?”

Morgan didn’t budge. “I want to say that you put your opinion into a discussion that is not necessary. This conversation is and should be focused on Black people, not you.

DJ Vlad doubled down and wrote on Twitter: “Good luck being a professor at @Princeton again. I question whether the university supports its professors who tell non-black students to shut the fuck up about anything related to hip-hop because of their skin color.

While DJ Vlad suggests that Morgan Jerkins exclude him from the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake conversation because he is white and she has prejudices, Morgan on the other hand believes that he only singled her out because she is a black woman and tries to use a gun in her words, trying to get her kicked out of the Ivy League.

“I find it funny that you chose to respond to me, belittling my education and threatening my job, while others responded to you in a much harsher way. Very interesting. And talking,” Morgan said after explaining that she never told him to “shut up” when it got here to anything hip-hop-related because of the colour of his skin.

The former DJ warned her not to change her words now, promising, “I’ll contact Princeton about this on Monday,” to which Morgan immediately notified him that she had accomplished each the semester and her contract at the college.

“But thank you for trying to get me fired from my job of centering Black people because your feelings were hurt. Very retaliatory, huh? Nice tactic,” she added.

This is known as a “persistent record”. Every university has one. I went to Berkeley myself. People publicly hurl ignorant and bigoted comments at you, and once they get a response, they act like they’re being persecuted. Typical victim mentality. Go ahead and take it @princeton outside…

It didn’t take long for other X users to claim that DJ Vlad had passed out for a selected reason. One of the X users, following the conversation, quickly noted Morgan’s name and identified the university professor’s relationship with the outstanding producer, Rodney Jerkins.

Rodney Jerkins, also referred to as “Darkchild”, gave his biggest hits to stars resembling Michael Jackson, Brandy, Whitney Houston, Jennifer Lopez, Toni Braxton, Lady Gaga and others. He was also interviewed by DJ Vlad.

“Morgan, Are You Related to Rodney Jerkins (Darkchild)” he asked Eagle-eyed user X. “I am culturally competent to know who he is in this culture. Vlad may not know. Vlad, do you know who Rodney Jerkins is? Do your research.

“Yes, that’s my uncle,” Morgan replied.

“DJ Vlad trying to dox and bully a black professor at Princeton is hilarious. but the funniest thing is that she is Darkchild’s niece lol,” one X user he was joking.

DJ Vlad’s decision went silent when Morgan’s connections were made public, but the rest of Black Twitter jumped in to defend her.

“You get accused of being a white person who needs to stay out of black businesses, and the first thing you do is…. *checks notes* …Threaten to call the manager,” one X user said.

You are WHITE.

This is a black people’s issue. https://t.co/BC2NbQcJ0W

The one person who can always come to the defense of hip-hop is rapper and Flipmode Squad member Rah Digga, who also rushed to defend Morgan.

“Damn, you calling her the principal for talking battle rap? Big right. I don’t read the room, man, she said he tweeted.

“Rah, consider it this fashion,” Vlad shot back. “If a black music blogger commented that a Taylor Swift song didn’t have a good mix and a Harvard professor responded to him and said, ‘You’re BLACK.’ This is a white people’s issue. Would you be okay with this professor teaching kids at a top university? Not me.”

The feminine woman in Flip mode spoke up, “You just described AMERICA. This is literally what they are screaming for Beyonce NOW. And it’s still MUSIC. Like many of your white hip-hop counterparts right now.

Digga Digga left him with words of wisdom, especially as a white man in hip-hop. She told him, specifically regarding Morgan’s message, “If you think you’ve earned your place. Sticks and stones, man…

Journalist Bomani Jones also spoke on the matter.

“And let me be clear: vlad… anyone heard the footage of this battle and was primarily talking about the mix? not like us. well, maybe like you. but definitely not like me. f*** it,” he said, stating that mixing a song is the very last thing a real hip-hop fan cares about during a battle.

“I understand and respect your position. But ultimately, Kendrick’s sound is heard by tens of millions of people – a rough mix equals a blurry image. Meanwhile, Drake is giving his all on the production and mixing level,” Vlad replied.

Bomani reminded Vlad that it is a diss track and it’s much deeper.

“He called Drake a slaver, and you called Kendrick to track him down.” not old. no, he replied, proving that after again Vlad was completely detached from reality.

“He went all out too, Karen,” replied an observer of the conversation.

Even comedian Kev on Stage mocked Vlad’s criticism, but he wasn’t personally attacked like Morgan was. However, she warned him that he might be next: “You higher take it off before the room monitor sends you to the principal’s office!!!”

You better take it off before the room monitor sends you to the principal’s office!!! https://t.co/gZ6v3VOjeg

The other professors also sided with Morgan, telling Vlad he could call their schools.

My friend 😭 Thank you https://t.co/dvEbBCLeKP

Vlad said he responded to Morgan’s post because he saw that she was a real person and not a “bot” hiding behind a fabricated identity. The college English teacher said it was much more than that, suggesting his comments were based on misogyny.

She he tweeted“He also didn’t think anyone would defend me because I was a black woman. So thank you to everyone who did this. I know why he responded to me, and it wasn’t because his other critics were “bots.”

If Vlad believed that, he was wrong.

Darkchild did not comment on the quarrel between his niece and DJ Vlad.

Hollywood is abuzz with speculation a couple of potential recent A-list couple. Rumors are swirling that Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz, each Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees, could also be having an affair. Despite years of friendship, successful albums and a headline-grabbing relationship, it seems these two could also be on the verge of becoming considered one of the most recent music couples making sweet music together (outside of the studio booth).

This just isn’t excellent news for her ex-husband, Nick Cannon, who, as many fans hoped, may be reunited with his ex-wife.

Sources who’ve had contact with the 2 say they “definitely have chemistry.” Life and Style Magazine.

The person continued, “They are both single and have been hanging out a lot lately.”

The two have a long-standing friendship that goes back to the times before their rise to fame.

According to the “Fly Away” rock star, he often frequented the place where Carey worked on New York’s East Side. They each had aspirations to grow to be artists and talked about their dreams of reaching the highest of the charts.

“She was working on her demos. I’ve been working on mine. She worked at the sports bar where I hung out,” he said People.

“Yes, many people don’t know. “Mariah and I come from the same circle in New York,” Kravitz he reminded in a February interview with “Entertainment Tonight.” “And we both worked on our demos. We hung out with the same group of people. She worked at a sports bar where I went and hung out.

He even visited her apartment once.

“We would go to their house and hang out. She had a lot of cats and I remember her playing her cassettes and I playing mine, and we’re here on the same evening, so it’s cool,” Kravitz said, recalling their past together the evening they were both honored with awards by the Black Music Collective.

Over the years, their paths continued to intertwine. As actors, they both appeared in the acclaimed 2009 film “Precious.” The dynamic duo recently took the stage at the Recording Academy Honors in February, where each was honored for their illustrious careers. In addition to their shared achievements, Carey, 55, and Kravitz, 59, were also nominated for induction into the esteemed Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

The insider said the two were “connected” by their nomination for the prestigious Rock & Roll Hall award and may have taken it a step further.

“They have been very close over the years and have a lot in common, so it’s not surprising that they could take their friendship to the next level,” the person said.

One thing they have in common is their biracial origins.

Carey’s mother, Patricia, is of Irish descent, and her father, Alfred Roy Carey, is of African-American and Afro-Venezuelan descent. Kravitz is also of mixed race. His father, Sy Kravitz, was of Russian-Jewish descent, and his mother, actress Roxie Roker, was of African-American and Bahamian descent.

They have one more thing in common: they are both divorcees. Kravitz was once married to actress Lisa Bonet from 1987 to 1993, with whom he has a daughter, Zoë Kravitz. Carey, on the other hand, was divorced twice. Her first marriage was to Tommy Mottola and lasted from 1993 to 1998.

Her second marriage was to actor and television personality Nick Cannon from 2008–2016. Cannon and Carey have twins named Moroccan and Monroe, and they are currently co-parenting.

Recently, while promoting his show “Nick Cannon’s Big Drive,” Cannon joked about the prospect of rekindling his romance with Carey, suggesting he would be open to it if she was interested, prompting E! The News’ Justin Sylvester will become a mediator for the former couple.

“You have to ask her!” Cannon he was joking, “Let me know what he says! Ask her, write to me, we will talk through you. Valentine’s Day is coming, you can be a chocolate cupid. Let’s do it, I’m with it.”

This was earlier, after her breakup with Bryan Tanaka and before people in the industry started seeing “American Woman” topping the charts with her.

The source says that “everyone who knows them personally in the music industry is talking about it – and they want it to be true!”

They are not the one ones. Fans prefer it for them.

“Unless the rumors about Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz are true,” one person said he said.

“It makes more sense than Nick Cannon. I’m here for this,” one fan he wrote on Youtube.

Another added: “If this is true, I hope they make it. They actually look good together. I’m rooting for them.”

One fan believes this is a match made in heaven and writes: “Yes, she will make him happy. This is the soul connection he has been longing for all his life.

“Everyone can see how happy he is by her side, and I can imagine her in his garden, planting new seeds. It fits perfectly,” added a fan.

Neither half of the dream couple commented on these rumors.
