Recently, DJ Vlad came at Drake and DJ Khaled on social media, claiming they were wrong for not speaking out about the conflict between Israel and Palestine. “Has anyone noticed that the most famous Jewish person on Earth, Drake, and the most famous Palestinian person on Earth, DJ Khaled, haven’t said a single thing about the Gaza-Israel conflict?” he began.
“It’s not like Drake is too busy. He’s been writing paragraphs about Joe Budden hurting his feelings about his new album. DJ Khaled has been working overtime promoting his new Jordan sneakers. But both of them have been silent on this topic. Why is that?” DJ Vlad continued, “It’s because both are so thirsty to maintain their relevance that they wouldn’t dare risk insulting a segment of their fanbase.”
TMZ caught up with Ja-Rule to ask his perspective on the events.
Ja Rule thinks the criticism is unfair as some artists choose to stay away from politics. Ja also feels that people need time to digest breaking news before reacting and should not face public backlash for not immediately commenting, “give them time”.
