In this clip, DJ Akademiks offered his thoughts after Vlad criticized Drake and DJ Khaled for avoiding discussion around the conflict in Israel. Vlad expressed his disappointment over the silence from both artists regarding the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. He criticized their desire to maintain relevance and avoid losing fans by not taking a stance on contentious issues. Vlad compared this behavior to artists like Tupac, who weren't afraid to express their opinions. Vlad also brought up Drake's Jewish heritage and Khaled's Palestinian roots, stating that they should at least articulate their perspectives. DJ Akademiks responded by stating his need to educate himself more about such complex issues before commenting and critiquing some artist's lack of accountability. The interview raised the question of whether artists have a responsibility to use their platforms to voice their opinions on global issues.
