VladTV

TK Kirkland returns to VladTV to discuss Boosie's $600,000 pardon scam, Rod Wave, Lil Durk's acquittal, Charleston White, N.O.R.E., Aries Spears, and the business lessons behind some of hip-hop's biggest recent stories.

TK reacts to Boosie's 60 Minutes appearance about allegedly losing $600,000 to consultants who promised access to a presidential pardon. TK emphasizes the importance of knowing exactly who you're doing business with and "putting a face to the money," while Vlad discusses why Boosie appears to have been the victim of a scam rather than a participant in wrongdoing.

They also break down Boosie's dispute with Rod Wave over a reported $100,000 payment connected to song samples. TK argues that money should always be respected regardless of where it comes from, while Vlad examines how an artist's perception of their value can differ from what the market is actually willing to pay.

The conversation then shifts to Lil Durk's not guilty verdict in his murder-for-hire trial despite multiple witnesses testifying against him. Vlad and TK discuss the possibility of future RICO charges, civil litigation, and how an acquittal doesn't necessarily mean the end of someone's legal problems.
Vlad also explains why he resumed working with Charleston White, revealing that the relationship has become more profitable than his previous arrangement with Boosie. He addresses his ongoing feud with N.O.R.E., the Carmen Bryan lawsuit, and why he believes podcast appearances should involve formal agreements when both parties promise to appear on each other's platforms.

Finally, TK and Vlad discuss taxes, business expenses, keeping your word, controlling your ego, and why professionalism and financial discipline become increasingly important as success grows. They also look ahead to the upcoming Aries Spears conversation and whether old tensions can finally be resolved.

Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl of Washington, DC lobbying firm J.M. Burkman and Associates sit down with VladTV to answer Boosie Badazz’s claims that he paid $600,000 for help pursuing a Donald Trump pardon and was scammed. The pair deny wrongdoing, saying they were paid for advocacy—not a guaranteed pardon—and argue Boosie’s federal gun case, sentencing timeline, alleged new legal issues, and later arbitration filing complicated the effort.

They also respond to the 60 Minutes report, disputed text messages naming Laura Loomer, Mike Johnson, Erica Kirk and others, and comparisons to Bradford Cohen’s successful pardon work for Lil Wayne and Kodak Black. The conversation expands into Trump’s pardon process, DOJ pardon counsel, Joseph Schwartz’s commutation, lobbying ethics, and their past controversies involving robocalls, voter suppression cases in Michigan and New York, FCC fines, Politico’s LobbyMatic reporting, and Jacob Wohl’s securities case.
