Tributes have since poured in for the artist, with fans noting that popular rap YouTuber, DJ Vlad, wasted no time in reuploading the pairs old interview from years back.

Fans flocked to his comment section under the video to call out the popular YouTuber, accusing him of trying to capitalize off of the rapper’s death.

At 10:46 am, DJ Vlad posted on X, formerly Twitter, that he “woke up to the sad news of Foolio getting killed.”

A video of his interview with the star was then re-uploaded to his channel on Sunday.

“Damn already Vlad?,” asked one comment with over 1,300 likes.

“’Ya death day only makes Vladdys payday,’” read one comment with almost 500 likes.

Others on X, called Vlad “a sick individual” for how quickly he reuploaded the video.

Nah this is sickening,” wrote one fan.

“White man literally eating off deaths in the hood,” his post continued.

“Julio Foolio was murdered and like clockwork Vlad quickly reposted his interview,” posted the African Diaspora News Channel, a news platform that focuses on African news and perspectives.

“I thought we all agreed to stop f**king wit him after he tried to get ol’ girl fired,” wrote another.

What she is referring to, is a controversy from last month where Vlad tried to get a Black professor fired from Princeton after she called him out on X under his post criticizing Kendrick Lamar’s recent hit, Not Like Us.

“You are WHITE. This is a BLACK FOLK AFFAIR,” said Princeton professor Morgan Jenkins, who is also the niece of rapper Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins.

Jerkins reply viral, to which Vlad wrote back on X and threatened to try and get Jerkins fired from her position.

“Wait, so a professor at @Princeton is telling me that a white person shouldn’t be allowed to voice their opinion about Hip-Hop? Is that how you interact with your students,” Vlad wrote.

After a few heated posts were exchanged, Vlad did contact her employer to complain, tagging the university in the posts.

Vlad later apologized and said he was just “trolling.”

The U.S. Sun has reached out to DJ Vlad for comment.
