Maino discussed the tragic death of Foolio, who was killed at the age of 26 due to ongoing street beef. Despite not having met Foolio, Maino expressed frustration over the cyclical nature of street violence, particularly when individuals enter the rap game as a means to escape such a life. Maino lamented the irony of rappers trying to break free from street life, only to fall victim to it in the end. He pointed out the detrimental role of social media in escalating tensions, contrasting it with his own experiences of avoiding disrespectful interactions about deceased loved ones. DJ Vlad mentioned his own attempts to mediate between Foolio and Youngin Ace. Despite Foolio's acknowledgment that a resolution was possible, Vlad's efforts were unfortunately in vain. He even advised Foolio to leave Florida after a shooting incident to ensure his safety, highlighting the severe risks these young artists face.
