DJ Vlad Sparks Heated Debate Over Rubi Rose’s Alleged Underage Relationships with Superstar Rappers

The hip-hop world is known for its drama, and over the weekend, Rubi Rose found herself at the center of a new controversy. During a heated discussion on the No Jumper podcast, hosts DJ Vlad and DJ Akademiks and guests Wack 100, Adam22, and Traplore Ross brought up old rumors regarding Rose’s past relationships with well-known rappers. Even though these claims are still just rumors, they have sparked a lot of buzz online. DJ Vlad mentioned that Playboi Carti’s team has been trying to get certain content removed where Rose reportedly talked about her time with him.
This led Akademiks to reveal an unreleased video where Rose names four famous rappers she has supposedly dated. While no specific names were confirmed, mentions of Travis Scott and 21 Savage during the conversation have only fueled the speculation. Things got even more complicated with accusations suggesting that Rubi Rose may have been underage during some of these relationships. Although there’s no solid proof for these claims, they have become a hot topic online, with many people questioning their validity and the ethics behind spreading such unverified information. Rubi Rose is known for her bold personality and musical talent, but she has also faced a lot of public criticism.
Her high-profile relationships, like those with comedian Druski, rapper DDG, and French Montana, have often made headlines. One ongoing controversy is her relationship with DDG, which has seen rumors of an alleged break-in at his home by Rose herself. The details of that situation remain unclear, but it has only added to the drama surrounding her life. So far, Rubi Rose has not publicly addressed the recent allegations. Whether she decides to speak out or stay quiet, this unfolding story highlights how blurry the lines can be between entertainment, gossip, and the real lives of celebrities.
