One VladTV interview that did land a subject in hot water, however, was the Keefe D interview ... where the reputed Crips member detailed his still alleged involvement in the 1996 Tupac Shakur murder.

00:00You know, as someone who's pioneered, you know, kind of like the sort of crime beat
00:06in hip-hop, you know, like, what do you say, where does that leave the space that you're
00:12in?
00:13Well, I don't know about the interviews.
00:19Those are, you know, a lot of times they get, you know, glamorized and so forth in terms
00:24of the effect of them, but most times these are actual, you know, it sounds like there's
00:28phone taps and it sounds like there's actually crimes being committed that have nothing to
00:32do with the interviews, it's people committing crimes.
00:35You know, if I interview someone about their past criminal, you know, things that they
00:41did years ago that they did jail time for, they're absolutely allowed to talk about this
00:47on camera.
00:48You know, they gave up a part of their life and were either found guilty or pleaded out
00:53and are able to talk about those crimes, you know, that's in their past.
00:58Nothing ever gets discussed that a person's actively doing on my platform ever.
01:03You know, or, you know, if something doesn't have a statute of limitations, we won't discuss
01:08it as well.
01:09You know, with the only notable exception was Keefy D, but Keefy D presented as he has
01:16immunity.
01:17He had already written a book that was on Amazon and he presented to me that he's able
01:21to talk about it.
01:23But in general, we don't want to know if you're doing anything illegal at this time.
01:28We simply don't want to do it.
01:29These conversations don't happen on or off camera.
01:32Yeah, I guess in the case of Keefy D has like, do you feel like Vlad TV as an organization
01:42will have to be implicated in that criminal case?
01:45Well, I think the interview is probably going to be part of the case.
01:50And the other interviews he did as well will be part of the case.
01:54And the book that he wrote will be part of the case as well.
01:57All of it.
01:58I think he said that, you know, that there was a co-writer who wrote the whole book and
02:04so forth.
02:05And there was a co-writer.
02:06He was actually there during the interview.
02:07I don't know what Keefy's involvement is in terms of the writing of the actual book.
02:11But yeah, all of it's going to be part of it.
02:14And ultimately, if they're essentially saying that there is no immunity, then anything that
02:20he said at any point is going to be part of this case, including Vlad TV, you know, the
02:23interview that we did.
02:24Well, we did multiple interviews, actually.
02:25We did two.
02:26Yeah, Vlad TV is going to be Vlad TV.
02:27That's not going to change.
02:28Nice.
02:29You know, and we have a track record of this type of thing that goes back to 2008.
02:36And like I said, I've never heard of anything that we've done somehow be connected to someone's
02:41case on any level except for possibly the Keefy D situation.
02:45That's the only one I've ever heard of.
02:48In fact, we've had situations where law enforcement had tried to subpoena.
02:55I think Las Vegas PD had been trying to reach out to us to get the raw data, all the raw
03:01footage from the Keefy D interview, and we just never cooperated, never responded.
03:07And unless there's a court order for me to do that, I'm not going to do that because
03:12I don't want to have someone sit and do an interview with me and then think that I'll
03:16turn around and work against them in any fashion.
03:19In fact, I will try to protect that interview in terms of their involvement in it as best
03:26as I can legally.
03:28And I have done that before successfully.
03:30Ultimately, law enforcement didn't get everything from us that they had been trying to get.
03:37And that will continue.
