Booker T isnt letting the heat from DJ Vlad go unchecked. After being called a liar on social media, the WWE Hall of Famer clapped back on April 2, 2025, dropping his own set of receiptsand this time, theyre doing the talking.
The beef started when Booker claimed on his Hall of Fame podcast that he turned down an interview with VladTVdespite being offered money. They called me back and they offered me money to go on VladTV and I turned it down because I was not going to go on Vlad TV and be exploited, Booker said.
DJ Vlad quickly accused him of lying and claimed Booker was actually eager to do the interview and even showed up at the studio. Booker T is lying, Vlad posted. Booker was excited to do VladTV and was at the studio with our cameraman. I ran late that day, which is why the interview never happened. But now Bookers receipts say otherwise.
In a series of DMs shared by Booker T on X, the exchange with DJ Vlad clearly shows Vlad offering money to make the interview happen:
- On September 9, 2020, Vlad messaged: Let me know if you still want to do the interview. Weve hit your guy a few times but havent gotten a response.
- On September 22, 2020, Booker replied: Lets do a call I want to make this right.
- On January 7, 2021, Vlad pushed again: Lets do the interviewperfect time with that song blowing up.
- Booker replied the next day, January 8: Thanks but no thanks.
- Vlad responded: OK fam. Im disappointed, but I was late for the interview so I understand. Congrats on the massive success of the new song. Im still a fan. Take care.
- Then on January 9, Vlad circled back with the offer that proves Bookers claim: What if we pay you an appearance fee?
So yeah, Booker wasnt lyingVlad did offer him money, and Booker still turned it down.
This twist in the feud changes the tone of the whole story. Booker didnt just refuse the interviewhe walked away from a check to avoid being, in his words, exploited.
With both men now armed with screenshots and fans dissecting every message, this back-and-forth is becoming more than personalits about reputation, credibility, and whos actually telling the truth in public.
What do you thinkwas Booker right to put the messages out there? Should Vlad respond again or let it go? Sound off in the comments and let us know whose side youre on.
