On the latest episode of his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T responded to Swerve Strickland, who appeared on Vlad TV.
Booker said in his response, “I had an offer to be on Vlad TV before as well and I turned it down. They called me back and they offered me money to go on Vlad TV and I turned it down because I was not going to go on Vlad TV and be exploited. I wasn’t going to go on Vlad TV and have him make me look like a fool in front of the world, I was not going to do that. I wasn’t going to go on Vlad TV and say anything negative towards any black man that’s ever been in this business because I know how hard it is for all of us."
Vlad posted DMs showing that Booker agreed to an interview in July 2020. Vlad claims that Booker was at his studio and ready to do the interview, but Vlad was running late, so the interview never happened.
Booker responded by posting DMs of his own showing that he began ignoring Vlad in September 2020 before formally turning down the interview in January 2021.
