DRAKE & DJ KHALED CALLED OUT BY DJ VLAD OVER ‘GAZA-ISRAEL CONFLICT’ SILENCE

 

Drake and DJ Khaled have both been called out by DJ Vlad for their silence regarding the current war between Israel and Hamas.

On Saturday (October 7), Israel declared war on the Palestinian militant group Hamas after an unprecedented attack that left more than 1,000 dead in Israel. Retaliatory Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have since killed at least 900 people.

While many are speaking up on the conflict on social media, Drake and Khaled have both been silent.

Taking to Twitter on Tuesday (October 10), Vlad had words for both of them, saying that because Drake was brought up Jewish and Khaled is Palestinian-American, they should speak out.

“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?”

He continued: “It’s because both are so thirsty to maintain their relevance that they wouldn’t dare risk insulting a segment of their fanbase. Heaven forbid that Drake might debut at #2 behind Taylor Swift because some of his Palestinian fans chose to not stream his album. And it would be the end of the world if Khaled sold a few less sneakers because some Jewish people decided not to buy his Jordans.”

This isn’t the first time DJ Vlad has called notable figures out on social media. Last month, the polarizing media personality took to Twitter to blast Nicki Minaj for a song snippet she released where she seems to imply that she has a gang that will shoot someone upon her command: “I can’t be playin’ with n-ggas, I married a G/ I got some n-ggas that do what I say, if I tell’em to shoot, they pull up on the three.”

“Nicki Minaj’s husband is on house arrest for threatening Offset,” Vlad began. “Right after that, she previews a song on IG saying she got killers who will pull up and do what she say. This was the same Nicki who threatened to send her husband to Akademiks’ house for his comments about her.
