It seems like the discord between TV personality Larsa Pippen and journalist DJ Vlad seems to have taken a new turn. On June 9, 2025, Vlad shared an open letter on his X, addressing Pippen, where he seemingly gave her an ultimatum. He wrote:
“Dear Larsa Pippen: I’ll stop talking about you in interviews if you remove “Pippen” from your last name and go back to “Larsa Younan”. Deal?”
The reason behind Vlad’s statement seems to be connected to what Pippen said when she appeared on Jason Lee’s podcast. On June 9, 2025, the X account No Jumper shared a clip of the podcast where Laura Pippen talked about DJ Vlad, saying:
“He is a loser. There is no reason for him to literally talk sh*t about me every single time. He interviews someone. He is like, ‘What do you think about Larsa?’ And he always does it in a negative connotation.”
She went on:
“So the athletes, they are all normally dumb like the last one I interviewed. Every time you interview an athlete, it’s negative about me. It’s like stupid.”
Pippen also stated he repeatedly spoke negatively about her on his program. She suggested that he should focus on discussing men rather than women. Meanwhile, DJ Vlad reshared No Jumper’s post and wrote:
“Larsa was f**king a guy on the same team as her son. And then started f**king her ex-husband's teammate's son. But I'm the loser?”
Larsa Pippen’s remarks seemed to be aimed at a recent interview where Vlad and Gilbert Arenas blamed her for Marcus Jordan’s DUI arrest and allegedly made disrespectful comments about her character.
What did Larsa Pippen say about her relationship with Malik Beasley?
According to HotNewHipHop, Larsa Pippen sent a direct message to DJ Vlad earlier, calling him a "loser" and telling him to stop mentioning her. Vlad posted a screenshot of her message on social media, suggesting that her reaction was likely triggered by his recent interview with Gilbert Arenas.
DJ Vlad had previously suggested that Pippen might be involved with basketball player Bronny James, which she had dismissed. While speaking to Jason Lee, Larsa Pippen looked back on her relationship with Malik Beasley. She said:
“That was a mistake. That was a mistake.”
She went on:
“You know what it is, I feel like guys like me. Is that weird? Guys like me. I am fun, good energy. I don’t need sh*t from anybody. I think that's appealing to a lot of guys. I don't know. I just feel like I never have a shortage of guys.”
Jason Lee asked Larsa Pippen why she didn't recognize that her relationship with Malik was a mistake when he did. Pippen explained that she had "COVID brain" at that time.
She had been isolated at home and hadn't been anywhere. She said that Malik was persistent in wanting to see her, and she eventually agreed.
Elsewhere in the podcast, Jason Lee mentioned to Larsa Pippen that her former partner, Marcus Jordan, was reportedly dating Nicole Murphy. He then added that Michael Jordan had allegedly been unfaithful to his wife with Murphy, asking if she found this situation complicated.
Pippen responded that she did not know and did not keep track of her ex-partners. She compared ending a relationship to wishing someone good luck.
