OG claims Vlad pays guests for interviews, arguing this creates an obligation where guests say whatever is needed to justify the payment rather than speaking truthfully.
Vlad defends his model by stating he does not pay for interviews and selects guests based on organic interest and heart, not financial transactions.
OG asserts that Vlad's presence on 'Drink Champs' was a strategic move to gain exposure to white America, contrasting it with his paid interviews with Black figures.
