- Fab of Milli Vanilli sat down with DJ Vlad in this exclusive interview where he details the troubling times that he and fellow member Rob faced after the lip-syncing scandal surfaced. He discussed their attempt to make a comeback, along with the issues and state of mind that ultimately led to Rob's tragic suicide.
Watch above. - บันเทิง
Fab seems like a cool ass dude, there is nothing about him you can hate. I have all the sympathy in the world for Milli Vanilli.
ProjectDystopia i say fuckit the game is so hard so whtever it take to get tht money
Juan, you still have to be real as an artist, though; Fab & Rob just got caught up in a no-win situation.
ProjectDystopia he seems like he has a great spirit
Fab is a great cool ass awesome beautiful dude lol
ProjectDystopia they are still 90s icons
This whole situation is so crazy man. Shit deserves a movie, a 30 for 30...somethin
Jerry Neutron a movie for sure.
Jerry Neutron a 30 for 30. What sports are being played lmaoo
Jerry Neutron 30 for 30 😂😂😂 I agree though
a real movie not a Netflix, vh1, made for TV movie
Jerry Neutron Breh netflix is fuckin lit w the exclusive movies & docuseries. You soundin sleep.
They were lipsynching, they didn't murdered anyone...they were entertainers. The backlash this 2 dudes received was completely brutal por something A LOT of people have done and do TODAY in a daily basis.
Deminus and to think that everyone nowadays lip syncs. They were crucified unfairly.
Exactly
Fuck clive davis
They were lip syncing someone else’s music. There’s a difference
@@spence7985 Jennifer Lopez always lip sing other people's music but no one cared
Very sad. We clown this group for clear reasons but honestly Fab is so inspiring and positive. I never would have considered that without this interview. I love his message at the end. What a great guest. Good job on this one Vlad. 👏
Might sound corny but the message at the end was exactly what I needed to hear. Sometimes you just feel trapped and these kind of messages really help some people that can't see past what's going on.
I honestly felt the same way and hearing the end really put life into perspective. I'm glad it could help you :)
Throwboy Fab is just an open guy and in a good place. Vlad is a blood sucker.
You are so right!!! You said exactly how I feel. This was tragic, and the saddest thing is that Fab can really sing. Frank Farian is a sick man, and not sure how he sleeps at night knowing Rob is dead. So very sad. :(
very nice guy, good person
The Milli Vanilli story deserves a movie on the big screen or atleast BET like the New Edition story .
I t was talked about in 07 and I think it might still be in the works
bloodwave Yes. A reelz story
I agree 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👐🏼👐🏼👐🏼😽😽
Definitely!
I agree but I'm not sure it should be on BET.
This is the most heart felt interview ive seen in a long time. Addiction doesnt always effect the person only but those around you who love you. Fab lost his brother and I felt that when he said it.
Jamie Villanueva me too bruh ..well said
Amen. It's amazing how strong he is too.
As kids we used to laugh at these two. Then when In Living Color done it, it was even funnier. We totally forget (or didn't care) that these are real human beings behind the image.
We did what kids do..... As adults we can see as kids we weren't acting like we would if it was our family
So true
I know right🙄😑
Exactly.We joked and badmouthed them. Saw them as cartoon's. That's what we, the kid's of the 80's&90's, did. I guess the media was reacting so vs Milli Vanilli that it brainwashed really everyone in this world(at least from what I heard&saw around me). Today it seems lots of people are like😇about it... as if they would never laugh.. I call that hypocritical. Something I really hate!! I admit that I had to grow up and learn about the bad side of the world(esp. the media industry) before I could understand what really happened to them and what it means when a human being has to deal with sooo much negative stuff like they had to(Fab.. has to..). Glad you were open and not a hypocrite about it! Yes, we laughed, but then started to genuinely understand✌️.
SPOT ON. WE NEED TO STOP PUBLIC SHAMING. IT HAS LIFE LONG CONSEQUENCES.
This is a classic interview. Interesting how when I was younger, I used to clown on milli vanilli, but now as a grown man, I can totally empathize with this whole story.
For sure. The group's manager should have been the one to take the blame. They were a pawn in his idea and took all of the flack
I wasn't born when it happened, so I don't care if they didn't sing on the record I just hate the fact that they were the only ones to be crucified.
Yea. I was born 87. And didn't know who they were until behind the music. Of course I knew the songs. But I've always enjoyed there music even after the it was all said and done. Still got them on my playlist.
Michael Jackson not much soo much anymore.
That's the voice of a man who's truly seen it all. Like a modern day shaman.
WORD, this brottha is the light!
Ok don’t overdo it
@jim jones ok Jim Jones. Don't drink the kool~aid❗
I love this story about Milli Vanilli instead of rappers talking about nonsense ❤️
Anna Way Skinner... you better preach
HELLLL NOOO lol
you pretty
I’m a year late, but hell yeah. It’s a refreshing turn from the mumble rappers talking about their “music”. This entire interview was very well done. These guys were huge when I was a wee lad. Neat to get the inside track as to what really went on.
I never thought I would say this, but after watching Fab's interviews a Milli Vanilli bio-pic might be really interesting...
This video was super deep. Man, you can tell this man really grew as a human being out of a negative experience. Hes wiser and fuller as a result. Vlad, best interview of the year fo sure
This guy aged nicely
Very nice he glowed up definitely would turn my head
He looks the same!
This is a refreshing break from idiots trying to show us how bad they are!
RIP Rob
couldn't agree more
Yo I never said you didn't do it for me
So you have boobs so what the biggie
You. Numpi means sexy yummy
bro i swear to god this interview made me feel as he was talking directly to me realest interview i done seen since interviews bro #EPIC
This series is the most interesting one thus far this year!!
Facts💯💯💯
Agreed
I couldn't agree more. I would say this and the Wood Harris' interviews make Vlad look like a real journalist. I get sick of the same Vlad interviews about gangs n the hood.... switch up the content, keep it up
da1newyorkg I agree 💯
I hope you guys know Vlad takes what he can get, it's not like he's turning down the chance for a Trump interview so he can have a pornstar on here.
wow. Sad story, he seems so nice and kind
As a side hustle, Fab should start giving motivational speeches. Tell his story and how he's grown from it. He can call it Keep On Runnin...lol...maybe not! But I bet people would pay to hear him. He gives out so much positive energy and great advice.
that is so true. The experience made him so wise. I'm sad that Rob got so broken.
I thank God that Fabrice survived and emerged a stronger man through the whole Milli Vanilli fiasco.
That is an excellent idea, He would be a great motivational speaker
everyone is not a good interview. But Fab is definitely a great interview. very intelligent and articulate. he could definitely be a motivational speaker. God speed my brother!
Calvin Tucker he has a lot of ideas in his head. Does his own thinking. Quality gentleman
I love Rob and Fab, I don't care if they weren't the singers, they sold the fantasy. They are pop icons and its a shame how they were used and abused.
They wouldn't have been able to sell that fantasy if it wasn't for the voices that were not even theirs in the first place. By your logic any good looking model could have a career in singing which is false.
@@edgarez6057 but Fab's voice live is a lot better than the singers.
@@esmabarnes1068 your opinion lol
Yeah but fab can really sing and dance awesomely
@@edgarez6057 so u think that fab cant sing?
Definition of black don't crack.This dude is 50 years old!!!!
Ali rob would of been 52 this year as well
Thats what you get if you moisturize your face daily, although Fab looks like he got some good genes as well.
Not to mention they did a Lot of drugs for years dude has good genes
Endo Pyro started doing that at the beginning of this year. I used to be the kind of dude that thought Vaseline Intensive Care lotion or something similar was fine. Honestly, it was watching Wendy Williams and hearing her go on and on about men moisturizing that put the thought in my head. I thought she was saying stuff like that to sensationalize stories and make jokes. Then I did some research. Started using a moisturizer at the beginning of this year and I already notice a difference.
Notorious because of drugs , your point is?
I'm sorry they went through so much pain. It's about time he gets to tell his side and I believe every word. I'm glad Fab is doing better and he looks amazing to be 50.
This Frank dude sounds evil.
he is a genius. Boney M had massive success
nmorgan24 Evil genius, if anything. He definitely proved time and time again that music is more than just singing and musicians playing instruments. It's about catchy melodies and choruses and entertainment value.
Evil Genius!
Frank Farian has a special place in hell reserved for him for the way he used, manipulated, then threw these two young men to the wolves.
Clive Davis is more evil...
For a 50 year old man, he looks more like 30 #melanin
flex luthor gay
flex luthor Naah he look about 50 😂
Cream Ya Panties Right 😂😂😂
flex luthor. Good black don't crack baybee
hes looks awesome but dont exagerate, he looks well over 30.
When he looked into the camera at the end...I felt that..He should be a teacher or spiritutual adviser..he's got that gift.
Absolutely 💕
I agree with everyone's positive comments about fab and the interview. that is an example of a real man!
I wish Fab nothing but the best. He's so strong mentally and physically, much respect to him. Poor Rob should've listened to Fab he would've still been here and stronger than ever like Fab omg may he rip😢
Love your comment
That is an excellent idea, He would be a great motivational speaker
Even the sharpest sword is only as strong as the hand that wields it. I understand that they did not provide the vocals on their album. And that's unfortunate. However these guys delivered the visuals and charisma that added to those vocals. How can you not like these guys? Especially Fab.
AllFlashNoDash Amen!!!
Ameen!! 100% 🎯🎯❣❣
Vlad this is the best interview in the history of this TH-cam channel!! You got to have him on again!!
Milli Vanilli movie please!!! This story would be the shit!!
Please, DO NOT let lifetime get anywhere NEAR it!! #FuckLifetime
sorrytoobother BET series just like The New Edition story!
sorrytoobother Exactly! And dont let wendy williams near that project 😂
+carlton31174 you guys are crazy but so true. wendy would butcher it!! :-)
Whitney forever Yeah that Aaliyah move was the wackest thing ive ever seen! 😂
sorrytoobother Based on the reviews of the New Edition movie, BET may do a good job. Fab has to be in on it though...
RIP Rob. To me I still give them boys their credit it was a group thing they was just the frontmen. I was 11 when these boys step on the scene so to hear all this knowledge about them is cool. Thanks to VladTv for dropping history and knowledge on us we r bless.
Jamerson Jackson facts
Jamerson Jackson well stated.
Jamerson Jackson regardless of the situation as a fellow music maker I can't hate on their passion because it was there no matter who actually sang the records
Amen
This was beautiful! “Treat yourself like your best friend”. So pure. I appreciate him for sharing his story.
its so awful still to this day Rob should still be here with us :((
Doris Allen and with him too
How do u know this?
This is such a cautionary tale...I appreciate Fab for his honesty and for having the strength to tell his story. RIP to Rob
His words he used to describe what happened too his friend Rob were heartbreaking! He truely Loved him and wanted to help in every possible way. Such a very sad story!
Es verdad ,que gran amigo y hermano fue Fab, me hizo llorar, de que nunca lo abandonaría, tenia planes a futuro para Rob, después de que regresara de su rehabilitación y ya no se pudo.,por eso se llevaban también los dos, porque son de buen corazón , Maldito Frank les destruyo la vida.
Cautionary tale about the high and lows of fame that younger cats need to take notes about.
Don't blame Rob and Fab. They were just puppets. Frank Farian was the puppet master. He should've just came clean in the beginning and said it's not them singing. #Sad #RIPMissRob #Fab #MilliVanilli
KWebster and took the blame thru him and then let them sing their own songs thru them and on their own milli vanilli cds still even
dont think frank had no problems after that.alot people felt betrayed by him .he had a bad name for a good time.
This is one of the greatest interviews I’ve ever seen
- my props to everyone involved.
Fab seems to be one of the most genuine people I’ve ever heard talk
I need a biopic on this story!!! This story seems so amazing, i mean we know it but we don't knooooow it all!
Fab's making me cry man tears bro.. :'( :'(
Yeah it's sad
Wow, what a real fucking dude. I have so much respect for Fab after watching this. How he interacts with Vlad, he's enthusiastic about answering the darker questions and going into real personal details... What a guy. This is probably my favourite Vtv interview.
Keep your head up Fab, and Vlad great interview.
Dudes humble... been through some shit! Hopefully he gets a 2nd chance
SJ Martin he was keeping it real thru him and with rob thru him and trying to help him thru him even is what it sounds like me in this even
This interview might win an award. Vlad did a great job but we must admit Fab is an awesome interviewee.
Mahdi Ahmad Just know Fab alone made this "interview" great..it had nothing to do with culture vulture vlad
Fab is such a wonderful human, you can see him protecting his brother in this interview, trying so hard not to put his brother down. What a great individual. Am sure Rob is taking care of him. So sad to lose someone you are this close to.
Outstanding interview! They keep getting better. Fab is a wise man.
This is for fab, in case he ever reads this. The speech you gave towards the end was incredibly moving and inspiring . I now see you from a different lense, and am very happy you got to succeed and chase your dreams. RIP rob and much love to vlad for giving this man a platform to share his story
Man I don't really ever get that emotional but seeing a grown ass man grief over his lost or dead brother always gets to me.
WE ARE WITNESSING THIS MAN FREE HIMSELF AND COME DOWN FROM THE MUSIC INDUSTRY's CROSS!
This is my second time watching all the clips to this interview and I can't believe how much I was duped by the music industry and of course the mainstream media. I always questioned how 2 young guys could completely dupe all in the entertainment industry and the world. Made NO SENSE. But that is what we were told to believe and many like myself did. These guys were totally sacrificed and even KILLED while all around them profited heavily! Money and Fame really are the root of evil.
it's incredible how that devil that set everything up and was allowed to get away scot-free with millions and still went on to produce in the record industry.
planestrainsandautomobile Yeah, even in America, Farian still had successful performers like La Bouche and No Mercy.
He’ll stand before God one day and pay for his sins.
I freaking love this man. this is the definition of a strong man. he's been thru complete hell and still standing. I need to hear more from Fab.
I'm conflicted on whether to watch these itty-bitty clips because this interview is so interesting, or just wait for the full interview so I can watch it all uninterrupted...
Truly Zambian I'll watch it again in full when it's out! This story is interesting, a biopic needs to be made!
Truly Zambian Vlad is a bitch and needs more competition because these little clips are a bitch. It would be better if he uploaded all parts in a span if 24 hours and the full Interview 7 days later.
+Jacquie Nnyoung
Yeah, I'll do the same. MV is childhood memories for me. I still play "their" songs now and associate it with Rob & Fab.
That era of MV, Terence Trent D'Arby etc was a problem.
+Wutang Clan
I'm expecting him to start rationing these clips and then it'll be weeks before he drops the full interview.
That's what he did with Professor Griff. I was waiting and waiting and waiting forever for that full interview to drop.
We're STILL waiting for the full Eddie Griffin interview to drop!
***** Vlad is flooding his Channel with Mainstream nonsense, and when he finally has nice guests he chops it up in 500 parts. Im sick of it, Eddie Griffin dope as fuck. Peace
possibly my favorite VladTV interview. It really draws you in. This dude has star quality for days. I hope he starts acting more or podcasting or something.
Get some more 90s people on here! Us young ppl are still interested in the golden era !
The golden era was not the 90s, but more like 50s-60s... the roots of popular music.
Incredible. This is by far Vlad's best. This is what these interviews are about. Emotional connection and you end up learning something after. Thanks VLAD
What an intelligent, insightful, and well spoken man. And so genuine and open about telling his story .
Realest nigga in Vlad TV interview history. 💯💯💯💯
best interview ever .. best personality ever on this platform.
1 of the most in depth interviews ever, PERIOD!!!!
ahhh thats fucked up. No matter how rough it get, ya'll keep y'all head up
This man has a strong spirit. So sad what happened to them. The world is truly a cruel place.
I will Never Laugh at these guys ever again.
Thats So sad What they went thru.
RIP Rob.
This dude seems real cool and probably would've been better being an authentic music artist.
A Green 9
lol, this guy tells some deep heavy ish, about his friend and severe depression and Vlad is going: sure... No empathy in this interview really
Keep it 1k If you think that, you must not know any white people
MultiMrMiles Dave chappelle said it best... that white guy voice has no emotion in it. News anchors have to deliver endless bad news so they have to show no empathy or else the world would bug out lol
J S every man for himself Vlad don't give a fuck culture vulture
Same with the interview with MC Shan getting molested. Vlad was acting like they were talking about what they had for breakfast or some shit
MultiMrMiles what do you expect? he's a Jew.
I could listen to him talk all day. I love these interviews. I would love to see a movie about Milli Vanilli.
Great words at the end Fab. So much love and respect for this guy after watching this interview.
Fab you are so amazing! The way you've turned tragedy into triumph and become a role model for anyone who's ever taken a hard fall and isn't sure they can get back up is deeply inspiring to me. Love you forever. And RIP sweet Rob.
I love his demeanor and spirit... His last words resonated with me... Surround yourself with the right and life is short so give it all you’ve got! 🙏🏽
The surrounding... It seems so important.
that last part was very encouraging... good interview
Vlad's best series by far!
I would love to see a little movie series about their rise and fall. Would be very interesting!
Much love Fab. You seem like a down to earth artist and a genuine, good natured, kind-hearted person.
Thanks for this vlad
Fab is such a wise person
His last words hit me like a ton of bricks
The "Rob & Fab" album is actually pretty good! (Someone posted the full album here on youtube). The sound is very 90's, but they could actually sing. These managers I tell ya, Frank, Pebbles, etc
Brown Royal The album would have likely sold way more had it been on a major record label, especially today in the age of digital downloads and streaming.
So good that is why we are dying for Back and in Attack album..
FABulous hearthROB...I have the actual CD 💿...payed a pretty penny for it, but what can you do when they only printed how many?? (Would’ve likely sold more if they printed more..)
I had to download their hits on iTunes just because of this interview!
One of the best interviews I've seen....very open and sad
He is such a humble, candid, beautiful man. May God protect him and guide him to live his best authentic life. I'm sorry he has gone through so much. I wish him all the best.
I've been waiting for this all GOD DAM weekend
In my opinion one of the best interviews you've ever done.
this whole interview going to be the Best in 2017 hands down
This changes the history of Fab and Rob. Very very good idea with this interview. I usually look at VladTV as not caring and perhaps creating more negative that positive. But this interview was needed (in the world of human music history). Salute!
For some reason, even unknown to myself, I always felt sympathy for Milli Vanilli. I never laughed at them like other people nor did I throw away my cassette tape and CD, (yes I still jam off of them) because I think I knew their fall was far more tragic than we knew. I could see the unspoken pain in their faces when they gave that Grammy back and I never forgot that! It really broke my heart. I think I was one of the few who even noticed the pain and sorrow in their faces. This confirmed my my observation when Fab was found dead. 😢 RIP Fab!
I'm so glad VH1 (back when cable was good and worth the money) gave both Fab and Rob a chance to tell their side of the story on Behind The Music. I remember saying thank God!! Finally!!! I will always be grateful for Behind The Music for doing this and I miss that show terribly! I also got to see what a narcissistic, deceptive, manipulative asshole Frank Farian really was and I hope karma bites him in the ass far worse than what he did to Fab and Rob because he's got blood on his hands now! Fucking bastard! I hate him just like I hate Yolanda Saldivar, the bitch who murdered Selena. Sorry, Fab, I know you said be positive but I just can't right now man! I'll get there eventually.
Glad you made it through those difficult times. It's hard to bounce back from a terrible storm like that but you did it! I love your positive energy and it shows, man. You look great, you sound great, you haven't aged at all and I can feel your positive energy through the screen. Keep it up! Blessings and love! ❤❤ You still have Fab and Rob fans out here!!
That was a really sad sight…They looked so sad
my Dude Fab is what we call a; "Survivor"...He never let tragedy get the best of him
A serious interview and inside look at the music BUSINESS!! Brave honest and inspiring this man has truly held himself with dignity. Brilliantly done...Fab has discipline and insight...great work Rob and Vlad. Sorry for the loss of your brother Fab.
Rob and Fab have and always will be Milli Vanilli. They are branded in my memories and my heart. It broke my heart when I heard Rob passed. The Industry really did them wrong. They ARE Milli Vanilli!!! ❤️❤️❤️
People are dying too quickly... Great strength in these guys. I wish Fabian all the best, and I feel terribly sorry for Rob...
Fab is such a cool dude and is a great storyteller. I'd watch a documentary or movie on this.
Yeah
The best interview I’ve seen on this station
What a lovely man!! And an amazing motivational speaker! I love the way how he put the end of the interview... I don't care that they were not singing! But without their vibes, dancing and the whole presence, all these songs would have NEVER BE such hits!! You've earned your grammy even without singing but with your energy and personalities!
U could see the pain in his eyes, when they told him Rob was dead!! My heart broke 2!! Only them 2 knew how it was, like he said no one else has walked in their shoes!! They were more like brothers u could see that 2!! God Bless U Fab!! R.I.P. Rob!!!! Still listen to your music til this day!!!
One of the best interviews on Vlad TV hands down. This guy was great to listen to.
Rob was 32 at the time of his death. Two months shy of his 33rd birthday. This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen on VLADTV. Definitely getting better and these interviews are rivaling those on any network.
One of the best series you've got going. Good stuff!
OHMsweetOHM i agree
One of the best interviews I have seen on Vlad. Really insightful and revealing. Fab's accounts are chilling.
“I’m still investigating Robs death “ He knows more then he’s leading on . The way he’s putting it sounds like foul play was possibly involved ...
Died at age 33 of an overdose typical signs of a hit in the industry and he himself doesn't believe it
I've seen Fab interviewed through the years and I have always found him to be humble, kind and down to earth.
He truly is.
Vlad this is probably ur best interview ever..Loved every part u posted
The best interviewee that I've seen on your channel. Very heartfelt & deep
Thanks Fab! I need that push and inspiration to go hard and give it all you got!
I have always felt so sorry about this situation. It was just horrible. I can relate so much to Fab talking about Rob being adopted. I am adopted and there is a void. I have lived with that void, and not knowing who you truly are your entire life is something that haunts you your entire life. It affected me on every level, in every degree. I never felt that I belonged, and I can relate to him so much. I feel so sorry that they got caught up in the trap, and that they were young, and naive. People make mistakes, and they get wrapped up in things that sometimes get a hold on you, and before you know it, you can't come back from it. Such a sad story for sure. I wish Fab the very best, and RIP Rob.
