Part 1: DJ Akademiks on Helping Vlad & NLE Choppa End Their Beef and Do an Interview
--------
In this clip, Vlad started off by saying that he didn’t see a problem with Ma$e signing Fivio Foreign for $5,000 because he was an unknown artist at the time. DJ Akademiks explained that he had a deal with a label to sign artists, and he revealed that he hit up his lawyer about possibly signing Fivio Foreign. When Akademiks found out that Fivio was signed to Ma$e and wasn’t going to sign Fivio for anything less than $1 million. DJ Akademiks then explained how Ma$e helped Fivio secure a $1.5 million deal with Columbia, of which Fivio got $750,000 in the 50/50 deal. He then pointed out that Fivio is required to give Ma$e 50% per their deal, and there is contention as the amount gets bigger.
