    Akademiks Recants Claim About Drake and LeBron James

    Ak Apologizes for Inflammatory Remarks on Infidelity Rumors

    Akademiks has quickly backpedaled on his controversial statement about Drake allegedly helping LeBron James cheat on his wife. The media personality had sparked outrage after spreading unverified rumors on his Rumble channel, where he claimed that Drake used to “supply” women for LeBron during his visits to Toronto.

    During a follow-up conversation with Kai Cenat on his Twitch stream, Akademiks apologized and retracted his previous remarks. “I fuck with Bron. I kinda feel bad. I went back online and was like, ‘Yo, I’m seeing so many people mad at me. If y’all wanna go with everything I said was cap, I’ll go with that,’” he said, expressing regret for his words.

    He further added, “We love LeBron. That’s one of our national icons, so we gotta hold down his legacy. Everything I said was cap, this shit is not real.”

    Despite the apology, Akademiks still claimed that Drake, along with others, had already “half told on” LeBron regarding his alleged infidelity, although no concrete evidence was provided for these assertions.

    The original claims, made just days before, had stirred major backlash as Akademiks insinuated that LeBron’s visits to Canada involved infidelity facilitated by Drake.

    Glizzy has a new album on the way

    Shy Glizzy is preparing to treat his fans with a new album. Speaking to DJ Akademiks on The Off The Record podcast, the D.C rapper was asked about the title of the forthcoming project, to which he replied, “Flowers.”

    The 30-year-old went on to explain that his desire for the respect he deserves is the drive behind the album title. “I’ve been in this s**t for a minute now, man,” he explained. “I feel like the growth is there, this s**t’s finally gotten to a point where the knives are sharpening, and all the respect is due. That’s why I named this s**t Flowers, I feel like I need mines, I feel like I give a lot of people theirs.

    That just goes back to the conversation about the post that I put up and all of that… S**t, I give n***as they flowers. Any n***a that’s before me, any n***a that, you know, do this s**t, I don’t got no problem. You don’t gotta come from the streets, none of that s**t. I’ll just salute you, if you think I’m a cool n***a anyway, if you think that I make good music.”

    Carti says “it’s time” for new music

    Playboi Carti announces new music reportedly arriving at the beginning of 2023. On Christmas day, the 26-year-old rapper returned on Twitter with a “hello” to his 2.4M followers while teasing new music. “Love all my supporters it’s time,” he wrote, sparking excitement from fans since he doesn’t post on social media so often, especially about new music. He also shared a screenshot of four unreleased songs on Instagram stories.

    During one of his Twitch streams over the weekend, DJ Akademiks said he received confirmation that Carti has new music on the way. “They said Carti is in the zone. Just like his tweet said, ‘it is time,’” Akademiks said before adding that the album will drop “maybe January or February.”


    While speaking to XXL in April, the Whole Lotta Red rapper said he planned to name his next album Music. “I was about to name my album Music because that’s where I’m at, you know what I’m saying? Music,” he explained. When asked to clarify what the title of the forthcoming album will be, he clarified, “Music because that’s all it is at this point.”

  • Roddy Ricch responds to Hit-Boy saying West-Coast rappers don’t work with him

    Roddy Ricch responds to Hit-Boy saying West-Coast rappers don’t work with him

    Roddy Ricch says he was confused about Hit-Boy’s comments

    Roddy Ricch reacts to fellow California native Hit-Boy’s remarks that West-Coast rappers like Roddy himself and Kendrick Lamar whom he’s worked with on Nipsey Hussle’s Grammy-winning “Racks In The Middle” and “Backseat Freestyle” respectively, do not work with him anymore to his surprise.

    While on the move to promote his new commercial mixtape Feed Tha Streets III, Roddy stopped by Power 105.1 this week where he addressed Hit-Boy. “We got a lotta music together, so I was kinda confused about it,” Roddy told the host, DJ Clue, who then asked him if he speaks with the Fontana producer.

    “Briefly. I let him say whatever, I ain’t say nothing. I don’t know. I don’t really be on the media with n**gas, you feel me?” the rapper said, while adding that he’s “thankfull” they won a Grammy together. “It’s probably a lot of producers that feel that way. West Coast n**gas we should handle certain things without the cameras on.”

    During a recent conversation with DJ Akademiks on his Off The Record Podcast, Hit-Boy said he played “Racks In The Middle” beat for Roddy the same night he made it. “The first beat I ever played n-ggas, the first song we ever did within 10 minutes of knowing each other, won a Grammy. How the fuck have we not locked in on more music. I don’t get it. Maybe it’s not for me to get,” he said.

    He continued, “At the end of the day, the first muthafucking beat I ever played for you in the history of life is ‘Racks in the Middle,’ my n-gga, like pull back up what the fuck.”




  • DJ Akademiks says 21 Savage helped end his feud with Meek Mill

    DJ Akademiks says 21 Savage helped end his feud with Meek Mill

    DJ Akademiks says he’s now “cool” with Meek Mill, thanks to 21 Savage’s intervention

    DJ Akademiks and Meek Mill have had a rocky relationship in the past, but according to him, 21 Savage came and leveled things up.

    “Me and Meek cool! We good now. I believe we’re good,” Ak told DJ Envy during The Breakfast Club interview on Monday (September 26).

    “21 Savage did something I thought was very dope. He gave this explanation, he said, ‘When two friends are going at it, if it goes far enough, you got to pick a side.’ And he basically said it was going to a point where he was going to be forced to be like, ‘Yo, are you really rocking with this n-gga Ak or you rocking over here?”

    He added, “[21] put us on the phone, and I got to salute Meek as well because I don’t think a younger Meek Mill would’ve been on the phone, and I think Meek has shown a little bit of growth,” he continued. “I was down to have a conversation with him for, like, four or five years. We’ve been on DMs, but it’s never been a real conversation.”

    “I thought that was a grown man discussion and I enjoyed it and I appreciate 21 Savage for facilitating it.”






  • LL Cool J checks DJ Akademiks for calling Hip Hop OGs “dusty”

    LL Cool J checks DJ Akademiks for calling Hip Hop OGs “dusty”

    LL Cool J advises Akademiks not to confuse raking up checks and contributing to the culture

    New York legend LL Cool J is not happy with DJ Akademiks’ recent remarks on Twitch that Hip Hop pioneers are “dusty” despite being the founders of the industry.

    “It came to my attention that a DJ — and I’m not gonna say any names ’cause I don’t think it’s necessary — a DJ basically said that a lot of the pioneers in Hip Hop, they’re dusty or how can they be the person that invented Hip Hop if they don’t have a lot of money, or if they don’t represent like they have a lot of dough,” Cool J said during an Instagram live stream.

    “Let me explain something to you: don’t think just because somebody knows how to get money — or fails to get money — that they didn’t make a contribution to the culture.”

    He went on to explain that old school rappers did not have the same opportunities today’s artists enjoy. “Today, you can come up with your five-year plan, your 10-year plan, your 20-year plan. You can go find a manager, you can find an accountant, you can find a team that helps your career go to the next level,” he added.

    “When Hip Hop first started, there were no managers, there were no accountants that believed in it. Record companies didn’t even believe in it! Nobody believed in it. How can you make a five-year plan or a 10-year plan on something that doesn’t even exist yet?”

    The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer continued: “So just because [these pioneers] didn’t get rich, just because they weren’t able to pile up millions or billions of dollars, does not mean that they didn’t make a contribution to this culture. They created an industry that we all ate off of! They created an industry that you eat off of!”
