DJ Akademiks is definitely a notable voice in the sprawling Hip-Hop media space although some would venture to say that his style of journalism isn’t particularly hard-hitting. Ak, using his massive platform, took shots at Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole for not sitting down with Hip-Hop outlets and instead took interviews with spaces outside the culture.
DJ Akademiks took to his customary post on Twitch to talk his talk regarding the aforementioned trio of rappers who made their marks early on during the so-called “blog era” and transformed themselves into Hip-Hop megastars.
From Ak’s perspective, it appears that this current dig at Hip-Hop’s biggest names came in the wake of J. Cole recently sitting down with Golden State Warriors GM Bob Myers for a wide-ranging chat that wasn’t solely focused on his storied career. Instead, the North Carolina rapper shared tales of his upbringing, including a time when his older brother caught him smoking cigarettes at the age of 6 and disappointing his mother in the process.
It was not an interview in the vein of what is typically held today via the various Hip-Hop podcasts and the like. DJ Akademiks believes that Drizzy, K-Dot, and Cole World are behaving as if they’re too famous to work with media outlets that are, in his words, within the culture.
In that same breath, Ak called the gentlemen “weird” for bypassing hubs like The Joe Budden Podcast, Million Dollaz Worth Of Game, and other shows of the same ilk.
On Twitter, the comments from DJ Akademiks garnered some responses. We’ve got those reactions listed out below.

DJ Akademiks is who he is. The social media influencer’s latest outrage-inducing behavior includes coming for Blueface and slandering the rapper’s finances and girlfriend, Chrisean Rock, in the process.
From what we gather, Blueface offered up Akademiks the fade. The invitation was caused by Akademiks saying on his Off The Record podcast that no rapper has ever truly stepped to him, and that he was ready for the smoke, especially from Lil Baby.
Or it could have been when Ak said Blueface’s crib was in foreclosure. And that’s when Blueface decided to offer up the hands and feet.
Of course, this led to Akademiks sending a call out for the identities of 10 people who allegedly slept with Chrisean. This stems from Blueface’s own allegations that she slept around, thus his desire for a paternity test after she announced she was pregnant with his child.
Yeah, the struggle is elite right now.
But really, most people watching from the outside see this as another opportunity to pile on to Akademiks, who became the most hated man in Hip-Hop, although he certainly has a legion of supporters. Or maybe just hate watchers?
Either way, peep some of the latest slanders aimed at Ak in the gallery.
Let’s keep it strictly to words, alright fellas. Also, it’s a guarantee that Chrisean will just go straight to violence if she ever catches Ak in these streets.
