Ak faces backlash after inappropriate comments to 15-year-old boy during livestream
Meek Mill and Freddie Gibbs are among the latest celebrities to call out Akademiks (real name Livingston Allen) after disturbing footage surfaced of him making sexually suggestive comments to a 15-year-old boy during a Fortnite livestream over the weekend. In the video, Akademiks is seen speaking to the teen, identified as NourGXD, and making inappropriate remarks that made the boy visibly uncomfortable.
The footage quickly sparked outrage online, with Meek Mill warning parents to keep their children away from Akademiks’ platform. In a tweet, Meek referred to the media figure as someone “grooming children” and “spreading false info on black culture.” He also condemned Akademiks’ attempts to “ruin black families and black success.”
Freddie Gibbs, who has clashed with Akademiks in the past, called him a “bitch” in response to the incident.
Akademiks later apologized, calling his comments “regrettable” and claiming it was a “teachable moment” for him. However, his apology was met with further backlash, particularly from Nour, who stated that Akademiks only expressed remorse because he was caught. The teen described the incident as “unnecessary and disgusting,” reiterating the discomfort caused by Akademiks’ comments.
This incident adds to a troubling pattern of controversial remarks made by Akademiks, who faced similar backlash in 2017 for previous comments.
