Tustin's 2 Tone Twins say they feel blackballed because the industry sees them as a threat

An interview clip filmed in the Juice Unlocked studio under the brand's neon sign. The two members of 2 Tone Twins sit on a couch at microphones while one of them talks about feeling shut out of the industry, with a 'The 2Tonetwinss speak on feeling blackballed!!' banner across the middle. A wide shot below shows two men seated at their own mics on the same set, with a scrolling chat feed in the corner. The audio ends on a few bars of a rap song.

The 2 Tone Twins think the door is being held shut on purpose. In a clip Juice Unlocked posted Sept. 13, 2025, the Tustin duo (@the2tonetwinss) said they feel blackballed from the music industry because they are seen as a threat.

"I feel like this is why they're not trying to let us in the door, because they know that we a threat," one member said, adding that the duo brings unity to the game.

Told they should be bigger

Asked whether that meant they felt blackballed, the answer was, "Yeah, definitely." She said they have been told "a million times" that they are a threat to the game.

Another voice at the table said the duo is doing its thing and should be bigger. The member said she did not believe that at first because the two are modest, but hearing it over and over made them start questioning what is going on.
