Michael Jai White and Vlad expressed admiration for renowned actress Taraji P. Henson. Describing Henson's performances in her numerous films as exceptional, Vlad highlighted the consistency and dedication in her acting. However, he also apologized for his previous remarks regarding Henson's reported $12 million net worth and lifestyle, acknowledging that it was inappropriate to compare her wealth with regular working people and was off-topic in their discussion. Despite his public apology, Vlad maintained the need for aspiring actors and performers to be assertive in building their careers if they feel undervalued. Many individuals, he noted, had reached out to him about the difference between a producer and an actor, which he illuminated by suggesting that when you feel you're not getting what you deserve, it’s time to pivot and hire or partner with others to create projects.
