Transcript

00:00Social media users, you know, they're blaming Vlad TV, you know, again, you know.

00:08Well, I mean, I think in this particular case, Vlad TV doesn't have anything to do with this

00:13case.

00:14Brick Baby was a regular guest on the show, Big U had done an interview some years back,

00:21really just talking about things, you know, that they had done in the far past and, you

00:25know, a life that they essentially have left behind.

00:29There is no act of anything being talked about in any of our interviews.

00:32Like you said, you've covered Big U's life story in the past, you know, did you see this

00:37raid coming?

00:38Like, you know, was there any hints that, you know, like, essentially the feds are saying

00:45that he was living a double life?

00:47None, none at all.

00:50We did an interview, it was maybe 2019, something like that, 2018, 2019, it was a very cool

00:58interview.

00:59He's a very nice guy.

01:00We kept in contact, we spoke over the years, you know, we speak maybe a couple of times

01:05a year, just kind of checking in on him, seeing how he's doing, seeing some of the positive

01:10things that he's doing in the community, and that's what we talked about in the interview

01:13as well.

01:14I didn't know anything at all on any level with Big U, I'm completely shocked as to this

01:20actually happened.

01:22It seems like they like to group, you know, rappers on a lot of hearsay, you know, a lot

01:27of activity and group it all into one, like Big U was claiming he doesn't even know everybody

01:32in his indictment.

01:33And I'm sure he doesn't.

01:36Yeah, I remember Big U in our interview even said that he was never a Rollin' 60s, you

01:42know, himself, he was never a Rollin' 60s member.

01:46That's on record.

01:48But at the end of the day, these situations happen around people that are continuing to

01:56do criminal enterprises outside of their career as an entertainer.

02:01And this has always happened.

02:02It happened with A.R.

02:03Abb, it happened with Casanova two times.

02:07There's a VladTV interview talking about what they had done years and years ago.

02:11But if you notice, none of these cases have anything to do with interviews.

02:15There is actual crimes being committed.

02:18There's actual snitches that are around them that are taking the stand and testifying against

02:23everybody.

02:24It's not the interview that does it.

02:26And a lot of times, not even social media, it's, you know, people sometimes send DMs

02:30through their Instagram of illegal activities that ultimately get subpoenaed by the government

02:36and becomes part of the case.

02:39These are the things you have to really worry about, not so much the interviews.

02:42You really have to worry about actual crime.

02:44Now, if you're not doing anything, do all the interviews you want.

02:48You know, I've done some criminal stuff in the past, past the actual limitations that

02:51I've talked about in my interviews.

02:53Whatever.

02:54Doesn't matter at this point.

02:55Yeah.

02:56And I mean, I guess a lot of people kind of missed the point that, you know, VladTV interviews

03:02are voluntarily, you know, like you're not holding a gun to anyone's head and make them

03:07say it in this info.

03:09Absolutely.

03:10And in fact, you know, a regular guest like a Brick Baby actually gets, you know, compensated

03:16for coming in and doing interviews.

03:18You know, Brick Baby, I had just seen him at the mall at the Beverly Center, like three,

03:25four days ago.

03:26Like, you know, we just randomly ran into each other.

03:30It was, it's crazy how quickly things change, like he, I'm sure, had no idea what was about

03:35to happen a few days from now.

03:37No signs of, you know, panic or...

03:40Hey!

03:41What's up?

03:42You know, gave each other a hug.

03:43What's up?

03:44What's up?

03:45Like, he had some people with him.

03:46Like, it was cool.

03:47Nah.

03:48I saw nothing.

03:49Just, you know, just a carefree L.A. day at the mall.

03:55Like, you know, everyone's, you know, in good spirits.
