Last week, Saucy Santana inherited a beef with DJ Akademiks. He stood up for Yung Miami when she was beefing with the podcaster and as a results AK set his sights on him. That’s created a week full of packed drama for all parties involved. Saucy may have just hit back with the most definitive statement yet. The beef first began with insults fired back and forth at social media, featuring some particularly homophobic remarks from Akademiks.
Yung Miami came back around to encourage Saucy and clearly he put that to good use. In a new video responding to DJ Akademiks recruiting Wack 100 to assist him in the beef, Saucy puts them both in their place. The hilarious rant he gets at both of them for needed to call in favors in their beef. In the comments fans point out just how hilarious Saucy has been throughout all of this. “How does a man w/ a full set have more heart than these nincompoops,” and “Santanerrrrr is hot and ready… stay on they necks uncle girl,” two of the top comments read. Check out his full response and the fan reactions to it below.
Before he was entangled with DJ Akademiks and Wack 100, Saucy was caught up in a different drama. He entered the ongoing tea between Blueface, Jaidyn Alexis, and Chrisean Rock. He did so by supporting Jaidyn Alexis’ new song “Barbie” which Blueface praised him for. As is inevitable that caused some friction from Chrisean Rock.
It wasn’t the first time he weighed in on the couples situation. He’s been a supporter of Alexis for a while. Back in September, he tweeted a pro-Jaidyn message about their situation. What do you think of Saucy Santana’s response to Dj Akademiks recruiting Wack 100 for their beef? Let us know in the comment section below.
DJ Akademiks finds himself in hot water as he faces backlash after disrespecting the City Girls and other women in the industry. The feud ignited with rapper Saucy Santana’s call-out, gaining attention from legendary rapper Queen Latifah. DJ Akademiks Gets Called Out On Nov. 2, Legendary rapper-turned-actress Queen Latifah shared a post on her Instagram […]
DJ Akademiks and Saucy Santana have been embroiled in a pretty heated feud as of late. Overall, it all started after Akademiks made some unsavory comments about the City Girls. In particular, he went after Yung Miami and accused her of perpetuating homophobia. Eventually, Santana got into the mix and things escalated very fast. In fact, Santana even threatened Akademiks with rape, which subsequently led to some heated discourse on social media.
In response to all of this, Akademiks found himself on a livestream where he was speaking to his viewers. During the stream, he was visibly upset to the point of tears. It was here where he claimed that women support double standards and that it is okay when men are threatened with rape. Furthermore, he almost sobbed as he noted that he wanted to go off on Santana but couldn’t. In his eyes, whatever he would say about the rapper would get him canceled. It was all a very bizarre scene that immediately went viral.

With this clip making the rounds online, Yung Miami decided to give her two cents on what was happening. She harkened back to a time in which Akademiks laughed at her for her pain. “I was in tears when he laughed and was trolling about my car getting shot up while was 6 months pregnant,” Yung Miami wrote. Additionally, Dr. Umar was asked to speak up on the situation. He claims people want him to form some sort of peace treaty between the two. The psychologist also added: “I don’t want to see a man get his cheeks clapped.”

This feud is one that has hit a very uncomfortable spot. It is clear that Akademiks is taking it all pretty hard, however, he has been known to antagonize people in the past. He has also taken things a bit too far, and now, he is on the other side. Only time will tell whether or not the fences can be mended here. Let us know your thoughts on the situation, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.
DJ Akademiks has been making commentary on Hip Hop culture for years. As a result, he’s ruffled more than a few feathers in the rap industry. He frequently makes headlines for his controversies and is now widely known for that as well. Moreover, DJ Akademiks has picked beef with multiple artists, typically leading to heated exchanges and negative publicity.
Now, Saucy Santana is the latest artist to pick a bone with the media personality. Santana is beefing with DJ Akademiks over comments the latter dropped about Yung Miami. It is a still-developing story, but the two have taken shots at each other non-stop over the past 24 hours. This particular beef may grow to become one of Akademiks’ most prominent feuds. In the meantime, however, here is a list of seven of the biggest beefs he has been involved in so far.
NAV
Akademiks hop on and off dick so much he prolly got STDs
DJ Akademiks and NAV got into a heated online fight on the last day of 2019. Seemingly unprovoked, NAV tweeted, “Akademiks hop on and off d**k so much he prolly got STDs.” In no time, DJ Akademiks responded, taking rapid-fire shots at the rapper on X (formerly Twitter). “Imagine being rich asf driving to where paparazzi is at in a half a million dollar car and a million in jewelry and catching feelings cuz no one noticed u,” he said, addressing NAV.
Ak wrote further, “Seems like you d**k riding the media. U hid ya face for the first year u blew up now u desperately want attention. Answer that.” The exchange continued for a while, with DJ Akademiks calling NAV a “cold” rapper and saying he’s only interested in “covering who is hot.” Over a year later, in March 2021, the two ended their beef on a Twitch livestream where they were both present. Subsequently, in September 2022, NAV was featured as a guest on an episode of Akademiks’ podcast, and they hashed things out completely.
DJ Akademiks began his beef with Erykah Badu in 2017 when the singer appeared as a guest in an episode of Everyday Struggle. Although he didn’t show it then, the podcast host did not like being likened to Jerry the Mouse by Badu. In August 2023, years after Badu made the hilarious comparison, Akademiks finally let the words off his chest. Unfortunately, he did not do so in a very dignified way, going on a distasteful, misogynistic rant.
While addressing her and telling her to keep his name out of her mouth, Ak further stated, “I never f***ed with Erykah Badu after she came on my show and she was trying to be funny.” He insulted her, and Badu, in turn, responded to him via a video she posted on her social media accounts. In the video, Badu sarcastically apologized for vexing Akademiks.
Furthermore, she acknowledged that the words she said to him hurt him and had him “out in the streets acting real p***y.” Finally, she advertised her new incense, which featured a photo of Jerry the Mouse wearing a gold chain that reads “Livingston.” Livingston is Ak’s first name, so that’s a very direct jab at the media personality. Badu captioned the post, “Badu P***y on sale today!”
Yung Miami
The City Girl and DJ Akademiks have never really seen eye to eye. Moreover, the two have been at each other’s necks at every opportunity since 2022, when Akademiks referred to Miami as Diddy’s side chick. That comment from the podcast host set off a viral social media exchange between the two. It probably wouldn’t have stopped at all if Diddy didn’t step in.
Subsequently, Akademiks retracted his statement, and for a while, there was a period of peace between the two. However, that is no longer the case, as things have recently heated up between them. In May 2023, Akademiks told Diddy to “check ya gyal,” referring to Yung Miami. Earlier, during an interview on The Jason Lee Show, Miami used the f-slur to refer to Akademiks as a gay man. Following AK’s clapback, the duo has continually fired shots at each other, and Miami’s BFF Saucy Santana has joined in to diss Akademiks.
Happy 41st Birthday to my former Opp @FreddieGibbs … I aint know they had a whole shirt selling of u showing ur a**hole to ur ex before u got PEGGED.. Yall go cop a t shirt of Spreadie Gibbs…go help suppport his BABY… them records aint finna do ithttps://t.co/2TcIj4WDsK
Freddie Gibbs and Ak began their beef in 2020 when the rapper called Ak a “b*tch.” The insult came following DJ Akademiks’ criticism of Gibbs’ comment, where he indirectly called Gunna a snitch. It all went downhill from there, and their relationship has progressively deteriorated since then. In 2020, when Gibbs appeared on Bootleg Kev, he called Jeezy “musically irrelevant.” Akademiks disagreed with that comment and clapped back at the rapper, saying, “If Jeezy is irrelevant, Freddie Gibbs, you’re absolutely irrelevant as well.” Afterward, a viral war of words on Twitter (now X) ensued between the two.
Vic Mensa
On June 19, 2017, Vic Mensa appeared as a guest on an episode of Everyday Struggle. The rapper wasted no time in expressing his displeasure with DJ Akademiks’ War in Chiraq YouTube series, which covers the Chicago rap scene. Mensa openly criticized both the show and Akademiks. Additionally, he said he wanted to slap Akademiks in the face but refrained from doing so. For the most part, Ak handled the situation without aggravating Mensa. As a result, things did not escalate any further. The two decided to clear things up in September 2023. Following their decision, they documented their reconciliation on episode 209 of Off the Record.
In 2020, Megan Thee Stallion was involved in the infamous shooting incident. DJ Akademiks, an avid supporter of Tory Lanez, was very vocal about his support for the rapper. In an interview with Vlad TV, Akademiks shared that he was still “kinda a little doubtful” about Lanez shooting Megan. Subsequently, AK faced backlash from fans of Megan, and he and the rapper are not on speaking terms.
When Eminem released Revival in December 2017, Akademiks was not a fan of the album, and he made it very clear. He gave the album a negative review, and Eminem did not appreciate that. Months passed without Eminem addressing it, and DJ Akademiks had probably even forgotten he reviewed the album. That is, of course, until the lead single from Kamikaze dropped on September 14, 2018. On “Fall,” Eminem name-dropped Akademiks, rapping the lyrics, “Don’t make me have to give it back to Akademiks. Say this sh*t is trash again, I’ll have you twisted.” Evidently, Eminem did not take the criticism of his ninth album very well. While Akademiks was surprised by Em’s lyrical attack, he stood by his word, calling Revival “light sauce.”
DJ Akademiks and Saucy Santana continued going at it with one another on social media, Monday afternoon, amid their ongoing feud. Santana came at Akademiks after he dragged him into his other beef with Yung Miami. Akademiks had accused Miami of perpetuating homophobia despite being friends with Santana.
In his latest livestream, Akademiks began by attempting to clarify that he’s on good terms with the LGBTQ community but that no one like Saucy Santana “can talk to me.” From there, he says he’d spit in his face. “Me and you couldn’t even have a conversation., “Akademiks remarked. “You’re a cocks*cker n***a. We don’t talk to n****s like you.” He added that Santana needs to “get right with God.” Before ending, he told Santana to pull up to his headquarters.

“‘Pull up to your headquarters?’” Santana began in response, before saying that he’s in the “streets.” He added: “What the f*ck is somebody meeting you at your headquarters for? That’s the problem. See, I’m starting to think this is your aesthetic. You do the fake internet sh*t and you sit in a room full of motherf*cking cameras and try to make a b*tch crash out.” Later, he threatens “After I beat you, I’ma f*ck you in your ass.” Check out both Santana and Akademiks’ posts below.
Akademiks has been involved in a number of feuds on social media in recent days. In addition to both Santana and Yung Miami, Akademiks also has been going back and forth with GloRilla and Jay Critch. Critch also wanted him to step outside and told him to find him at the next Rolling Loud New York.
DJ Akademiks discussed Nicki Minaj and her romantic relationships during a recent sit-down with VladTV. In doing so, he theorized that Minaj has a “masculine energy” in her love life and is the “alpha” in her relationships.
The conversation began with DJ Vlad discussing Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty. “There are few women who are so alpha, in a sense, in how they’re in a relationship– I mean, she’s regarded as ‘The Queen’ by her fans,” Akademiks said. “You think she wanna hear a guy who’s not in the music industry tell her shit? You think she wanna go submit to a dude?”

From there, Vlad told a story he heard about Nicki “violating” her former partner, Safaree Samuels, for speaking up during an interview. “I think that’s her typical relationship,” Akademiks responded. “The same type of leverage most men feel in a relationship when you’re the rapper who gets an Instagram model who don’t got no money, so it’s like ‘your way goes.’ She has a lot of that energy in a lot of her life. She has that almost kind of masculine energy.” Check out Akademiks’ full comments on Minaj’s relationship with Kenneth Petty below.
DJ Akademiks Discusses Nicki Minaj
It’s not the first time Akademiks and Vlad have discussed Minaj. During a previous interview, Akademiks spoke about Minaj’s passionate fanbase. “You know why Nicki’s good? I wanna say great… her audience, and she has the best audience in Hip Hop,” he said back in September. “Them Barbz, they will never believe anything—and Nicki does a good job of not making it apparent. You ‘heard’ it, you didn’t ‘see’ it. So, like, when you say it, her audience is gonna take it as, ‘Oh, you’re just hating on Nicki’. [Minaj’s] fanbase is so solid…if she’s not the victim, no one believes it.”
Jay Critch called out DJ Akademiks on Twitter, Sunday, after the media pundit exchanged shots with GloRilla. In doing so, he labeled Akademiks a “p*ssy” and told him he’d see him at Rolling Loud in New York City. Akademiks had fired off a number of insults aimed at GloRilla amid her ongoing beef with Kai Cenat.
In one post, he wrote: “@GloTheofficial And goofy! I got $100k My bitch I’m F*cking look better than u… dont worry bout me.. I been successful.. U a bih… that look like Sid the Sloth from Ice Age.. I wouldn’t even f*ck a hoe a look like u.. I got too much money for that. Go holla at dr Miami.” GloRilla wrote back: “Akademics you or yo hoe can’t whoop me & I’ll put 100k on dat Pooh bear looking ass b*tch you got da right one dis time.”

Later in the day, Critch also responded to Akademiks. “When U gon actually come outside tho p*ssy n***a,” he wrote, before adding, “Akademiks so p*ssy he don’t go to no award shows no powerhouse no rolling louds n***a just hide in the shadows smh fat ass.” From there, Akademiks fired back: “I was at rolling loud last year … n I’ll make it my mission to go next time it’s back in New York. U won’t kno tho cuz unless u buy a ticket u won’t be there. U irrelevant piece of sh*t.” Critch then confirmed: “See ya there p*ssy!” Check out the full interaction below.

GloRilla has been feuding with Cenat since he gave a negative review of her song, “Cha Cha Cha.” On Saturday, things appeared to be headed in a better direction with her tweeting: “I’m drunk af rn I might f*ck around & unblock Kai.” Be on the lookout for further updates on the beef on HotNewHipHop.

DJ Akademiks is someone who is known for being a huge troll. Overall, he has one of the biggest online empires in hip-hop media. Although he has pissed a lot of people off on his way to the top, he has been able to continue his ascent. A lot of his work these days is done over on Rumble, where he is a streamer. He used to be on Twitch, and although he still streams over there, Rumble is giving him the bag. In fact, while on Rumble, he is a lot more free to say whatever he wants.
Akademiks has been a staunch critic of the City Girls in the past. More specifically, he has gone after the likes of Yung Miami. Consequently, it should come as absolutely no surprise that he had something to say about their poor showing as it pertains to the first week sales for their new album, RAW. The project is estimated to do 6K units in the first week, which is not great. On his stream, Akademiks decided to troll them in a truly brutal way.
Above, you can see that Akademiks begins to explain how he had a conversation with someone at the RIAA. Subsequently, he says the inside source called the new City Girls album “15x Plastic.” Of course, this conversation never happened and Plastic is not an actual certification. However, Akademiks has made similar jokes in the past. If you have ever watched him, you knew exactly where his spiel was going. While his audience may have appreciated the joke, we’re sure the City Girls weren’t so amused by all of this.
Needless to say, Ak is loving this right now. Let us know what you think about the City Girls’ first-week sales situation, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed.
DJ Akademiks discussed Drake’s decision to remain silent on the conflict between Israel and Palestine while speaking with DJ Vlad for a new interview. Vlad previously criticized both Drake and DJ Khaled for their silence on the topic.
“I do think when it comes to Drake and Khaled, it’s probably a concerted effort of not trying to isolate people,” Akademiks began. “It’s like, ‘If I say something, what will it even matter?’” To that point, Vlad disagrees, citing their billions of followers. When Akademiks proposed the idea of putting out a vague statement on the matter, Vlad described it as a “start.”

Later in the interview, Akademiks wonders whether Drake even still identifies as Jewish, noting that he rarely speaks about it. “I think he’s gone away from trying to be the, ‘Hey, this is the Jewish rapper,’” Akademiks said. He also brought up Kendrick Lamar’s commitment to the Black community as a comparison. Check out Akademiks and Vlad’s conversation below.
DJ Akademiks Discusses Drake’s Silence On Israel
As for Vlad’s previous comments, he called out Drake and Khaled in a lengthy rant on social media, earlier this month. He wrote in part: “It’s because both are so thirsty to maintain their relevance that they wouldn’t dare risk insulting a segment of their fanbase. Heaven forbid that Drake might debut at #2 behind Taylor Swift because some of his Palestinian fans chose to not stream his album. And it would be the end of the world if Khaled sold a few less sneakers because some Jewish people decided not to buy his Jordans. That’s the difference between artists of today and timeless legends like 2Pac. You know damn well Pac would be the first one to speak out about something so close to home.” Be on the lookout for any comments from Drake on the matter on HotNewHipHop.
DJ Envy’s alleged fraud scheme is getting him into a lot of trouble these days, both with his fellow hip-hop commentators and with the law. Moreover, DJ Akademiks is the latest rap media personality to comment on The Breakfast Club co-host’s supposed involvement in a real estate Ponzi scheme. Not only did his alleged associate Cesar Pena recently fall under police custody, but authorities charged both for fraud-related crimes. No matter how you slice it, clearly things aren’t looking very good for Envy or his assumed business partners in all this. As such, Ak blasted him on Thursday (October 19) and wondered why people would ever trust someone like him- in his opinion- with any amount of cash.
“How do you let DJ Envy affect your financial decisions?” DJ Akademiks remarked. “Half the time I’m listening to The Breakfast Club, these n***as even can’t read what’s on the f***in’ paper. No disrespect to none of those people up there. I really like them. But these n***as can barely read what’s on the f***in’ Rumor Report. You think I’m giving them a million dollars? F**k no, man. You cr*zy as hell.
“These n***as can’t pronounce s**t, can’t read,” DJ Akademiks continued. “And I’m giving- nah, hell no! You bring some n***a who’s diabetic on here. The n***a got 10X T-Shirts, thinking it’s 2003. The n***a wearing Timbs, and the Timbs look like they’re squealing ‘Help me!’ Like, Jesus Christ! You gave that n***a $800,000?
“It took you 20 years to get it, you gave it to him in 20 minutes?” he concluded. “You might be the dummy! I’m sorry! You might be the dummy. That’s who I’m talking about, a ‘Donkey of the Day.’ I can’t feel too bad for you. Like, come on, bro. I ain’t gonna say I’m beyond getting got. But if you gonna get me, you gonna sound a lot smarter than me.” For more news and the latest updates on DJ Akademiks and DJ Envy, stay logged into HNHH.
