Maino discussed the involvement of Taxstone in the Irving Plaza shooting. The conversation focused on the aggressive behavior of rapper Troy Ave, who Maino identified as the initial aggressor. Vlad revealed that Taxstone, who had been his friend and interviewee, was caught in the fray and eventually jailed due to the situation. Maino highlighted that if Taxstone had not brought a gun, which exacerbated the situation, things might have played out differently. Despite acknowledging Taxstone's self-defense stance, Maino stressed that knowing the potential consequences, one should not play the victim later. Vlad expressed his hope for an appeal in Taxstone's case, lamenting how the situation derailed what could have been a promising career.
