N.O.R.E. has made it clear that his decision to back out of a promised VladTV interview wasn’t an accident, scheduling conflict or industry miscommunication. According to the Queens rap veteran, he simply changed his mind—and his reasoning goes much deeper than interview etiquette.

The Drink Champs co-host fired back at DJ Vlad after Vlad appeared on DJ Akademiks’ Off The Record and called N.O.R.E. a “snake,” claiming the rapper failed to keep his word after Vlad previously appeared on Drink Champs.

“Nore is about Nore, his word don’t mean ish, he’s a snake,” Vlad said while explaining his side of the fallout. Vlad maintained that his appearance on Drink Champs came with the understanding that N.O.R.E. would return the favor by sitting down for VladTV.

N.O.R.E. didn’t deny agreeing to the interview. He denied that agreeing meant he couldn’t change his mind.
