DJ Vlad says he won't be reaching out to Princeton in an apparent attempt to get Professor Morgan Jerkins fired from the university after threatening to do so. The two had a heated back and forth on Twitter after Vlad posted: "Kendrick's "Not Like Us" needed a better mix. It takes away from the song." Jerkins took issue with the take and replied: "You are WHITE. This is a BLACK FOLK AFFAIR." She added that the conversation "should center Black people."
"Don't try to change your words now. I'll be reaching out to @princeton about this on Monday," Vlad then replied. The move warranted tons of backlash from hip-hop fans. "This is something a white person would do," one user wrote. Another added: "You have to see the irony here."

"Since it's Monday, let me clear the air and state that I never had any intention of filing a complaint to Princeton for former professor Morgan Jerkins saying that white people aren't allowed to comment on Kendrick Lamar's music. She trolled me and I trolled back," Vlad wrote. "At the end of the day, it created an interesting discussion about race relations in America. I will be discussing it further in my future interviews." When Jerkins saw the explanation, she fired back: "A lie. He tagged my employer multiple times with the intention to professionally harm me. I didn’t troll. I centered Black people in a discussion on hip-hop and told him to stand down bc it’s not his space. He’s backtracking bc he miscalculated. Btw, stop contacting my family."
