Meek Mill Calls DJ Akademiks A “Rapist Type” In Explosive X Rant

by

Meek Mill continues to make headlines for everything but music. The Philadelphia rapper spent most of May 13 arguing with other artists on X (formerly Twitter). He was on the losing side of most of them. He exchanged words with 50 Cent, arguably the genre’s greatest troll. 50 clowned Meek for the low sales of his last album and for being friends with Rick Ross. Then Soulja Boy came out of the blue and went at the rapper for his questionable relationship with Diddy. Meek’s frustration culminated in an unexpected way, as he then turned around and insulted DJ Akademiks. Yeah, bizarre.

In a since-deleted tweet, Meek Mill absolutely laid into Akademiks for exploiting hip-hop culture. “I been told him stop posting me they business flow when they speak only on the culture,” the rapper explained. He then went about insulting Ak in a very odd and specific manner. “They all post bad about me because I don’t pay non of them,” he added. “That’s why they have Akademiks a rapist type couch potatoe [sic] controlling the narrative on the biggest battles to keep track.” He didn’t claim Ak was a rapist, but then described him as a “rapist type,” which is not much better.

Meek Mill Previously Blocked Akademiks On X

This is not the first time Meek Mill and DJ Akademiks have had beef. The disdain is mutual. In March 2024, Akademiks called the rapper out for promoting a positive lifestyle while attempting to talk tough on social media. “Meek Mill think he can be a Activist in the daytime… and Villain at night,” he wrote. “N**ga must think Philly is Gotham City.” Meek responded by blocking the internet personality and making fun of him while he did it. “Ima show yall how you hurt computer geeks just the ‘block button’ I’m still shooting a vid in front of your house,” he quote-tweeted. “I’m still coming I only wanna hear from you in person lol.”

Akademiks went on to claim that he won his squabble against the rapper because he got blocked, so the bit didn’t have the bite Meek wanted. Based on the recent string of tweets, however, the block didn’t last very long. Akademiks has been a source of criticism for many rappers, and what Meek had to say about his tendency to exploit drama is valid. Where he lost most fans, and where he usually loses fans, is when he took things too far by saying something uncalled for. It’s telling that Meek deleted the “rapist type” tweet almost immediately. Even he knew it was a bad look.

Drake Seemingly Lied About Feeding Kendrick Lamar With Fake Daughter Information, DJ Akademiks Reveals

by

Overall, Drake is in a bad spot right now. This is due to the fact that Kendrick Lamar came through with a blowout victory in their beef. “Not Like Us” is about to be the biggest song in the world and it has even beaten some of Drake’s Spotify records. Moreover, “The Heart Part 6” has been clowned all week thanks to its poor attempts at refuting the things Kendrick alleged on his songs. In “The Heart Part 6,” Drake also claims that he fed Kendrick the information about an 11-year-old daughter. This is a narrative that was prevalent on Twitter, and Drake co-opted it for his song in an attempt to make Kendrick look bad.

Some took Drizzy at his word in all of this, while others were incredibly skeptical. Well, it seems like the skeptics have come away with the win on this one. In the latest stream from DJ Akademiks, the hip-hop commentator admits that Drake’s team had no idea where Kendrick got the 11-year-old daughter information from. This essentially alleges that Drake made up the whole OVO mole narrative. As for where Kendrick really got his information from, that remains to be seen. One could speculate that he allegedly fabricated it in an attempt to make OVO scramble and implode from the inside out.

Drake Was Stunned By Daughter Revelation

Either way, Drake has been called out on two lies so far. The other involves his claims that Dave Free and Whitney Alford may have had a child together. DJ Akademiks debunked this claim on the very same stream. Needless to say, “The Heart Part 6” is not aging very well right now. That said, Drake has yet to comment on what Akademiks said on his stream. Only time will tell if that is going to change.

Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that this completely invalidates everything Drake said on “The Heart Part 6?” Do you think that Drizzy is going to come out and say something after all of these revelations from DJ Akademiks? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Drake Vs. Kendrick Lamar: DJ Akademiks Alleges Drake Lied About Dave Free & Whitney Alford Affair

by

Drake and Kendrick Lamar have been beefing for what feels like a full month and a half. Overall, the feud has been going on for over 10 years, but the climax has finally taken place. Following the release of “Not Like Us” and “The Heart Part 6,” it was clear that Lamar had won the war. Although he still has some allegations to address, it has been made abundantly clear that fans are feeling Kendrick’s output more. It has been a rough week for Drake, and it could get a whole lot worse if “Not Like Us” becomes the number one song in the world.

Yesterday, DJ Akademiks was on stream and once again, it was not looking good for Drake. At one point, Akademiks spoke on some of the lies that were spewed during the feud. In the eyes of Ak, Kendrick certainly lied on Drake during multiple points. However, as it pertains to Drake, he noted that the Dave Free and Whitney Alford claims were completely false. As many of you know, Drake kept trying to say that Dave Free and Whitney Alford had a child together. He doubled down on this in the cover art for “The Heart Part 6,” although it’s clear that this was just a narrative device.

DJ Akademiks Spills The Beans On Drake

Of course, this lie brings a lot of credibility issues to Drake’s side of the beef. Now, fans are questioning everything Drake said. Furthermore, fans now believe that “The Heart Part 6” is officially the worst song in the feud as it has been proven false. For now, the only allegation against Kendrick that is sticking, is the domestic violence claims. Kendrick has yet to say anything on this front, and fans are definitely concerned about the validity of the allegations.

Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that this looks particularly bad for Drizzy right now? What do you make of DJ Akademiks seemingly going against Drake heavily, for the first time in the battle? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

DJ Akademiks Claims Drake Isn’t Done, Alludes To Kendrick Lamar Beef

by

DJ Akademiks’ Mother’s Day stream on Sunday (May 12) has a lot of people thinking that the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef isn’t as over as people think. While he remarked that K.Dot has more songs in the vault, more likely than not, he also theorized that there’s probably nothing that will drop in the very near future. However, the media personality did indicate that Drizzy is making a return, and that he will probably keep dissing his rival, presumably through subliminals or passing mentions based on his explanation. What Ak really seems to be getting at is that both sides have music planned for the future, but that any bad blood won’t manifest itself via a back-and-forth battle like the one we just witnessed.

Furthermore, this is all speculative and, from DJ Akademiks’ viewpoint, mere guesses based on what little we know and what the artists themselves have indicated. Drake already seemed to step out of the beef with his latest IG Story post, and rumors of a new Kendrick Lamar album floated around the Internet before the 6ix God mentioned them on “The Heart Part 6.” Most importantly for some obsessive fans, the streamer also said that both MCs probably lied throughout their diss tracks. As for the Toronto superstar, he likely lied about Dave Free fathering Mr. Morale’s kid, and the Compton lyricist presumably and likely lied about The Boy’s secret kid(s?), according to Ak and his previous stances on these family matters.

DJ Akademiks Speaks On The Drake & Kendrick Lamar Battle

Meanwhile, other rap media figures like Charlamagne Tha God still see a way forward for Drake if he wants to win this particular battle. But for a lot of fans, the ink is dry either way, and more escalation would only beat folks over the head way more than they wanted. Kendrick Lamar has seemingly claimed the crown, but a lot of the points that they made against each other probably will still manifest in their careers. The OVO mogul will still be a commercial juggernaut, and the pgLang creative will still receive heaps of acclaim for his work.

Let us know whatever you think down in the comments section below. Just know that your take could age like milk in a matter of days, and that we’re in for a long summer if DJ Akademiks is anywhere near in the right.

Offset’s Photo With A Fan Goes Viral For Hilarious Reasons

by

Yesterday, Offset found himself in hot water with some fans. A new lineup poster for Hot 97’s Summer Jam showed off some new additions to the festival like Ty Dolla $ign. But it also quietly removed the former Migos rapper from the roster. He had previously been announced as a headliner for the event. Fans in the comments quickly took notice of the absence and called the festival out for the quiet removal. They never officially confirmed why he had to drop out of the lineup less than a month before the festival was due to take place.

That’s why Offset is probably pretty happy that a photo he took with a fan is going viral for completely unrelated reasons. The fan in the picture is caught from just the right angle to show off an eye-catching backside, something the rapper’s face contrasts with hilariously. Subsequently, DJ Akademiks shared the post to Instagram with a caption joking about its virality. “Photo goes viral of offset wit a fan. Why yall think this viral” his caption reads. Fans in the comments also had jokes. “Her back porch is going viral, Offset just happened to be there 😂” one of the top comments on the post reads. Check out the picture that sparked all the jokes below.

Additionally, Offset recently teamed up with Blxst and Killer Mike for a new remix. He shared his take on the Run The Jewels rapper’s song “EXIT 9. “ It comes from his Grammys winning album Michael which took home three awards in an eventful night for Mike. Following his trio of wins he was arrested backstage. Thankfully though, he was eventually released later that night and got to continue celebrating his huge achievement.

What do you think of the hilarious viral photo of Offset and one of his fans currently making the rounds online? Do you plan on seeing the rapper perform at any of his remaining tour stops or festival shows this year? Let us know in the comment section below.

DJ Akademiks Refutes Kendrick Lamar Bar Stealing Claims, Calls K-Dot A “Genius”

by

DJ Akademiks has been a key figure in the feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Overall, Akademiks has been live on stream every day since things escalated with “Euphoria” last Tuesday. It has been impressive to watch him move, especially since he got name-dropped by Kendrick on “6:16 In LA.” If any media figure has come away with the win in this beef, it has been Ak, even if he is a Drake stan. Ak has been adamant that Kendrick is winning, although he has been teasing something new from the Toronto megastar.

Last night, Kendrick Lamar found himself in the crosshairs of Drake fans. One page called King Jared found some old tweets that contain punchlines similar to those found in “Not Like Us.” This subsequently led to allegations that Lamar has been straight up stealing his bars from Twitter. While many believe these are purely coincidental, others are firm believers that this completely disqualifies Kendrick from the rap battle.

DJ Akademiks Goes Over King Jared’s Claims

In the Via link below, you can see a clip from Ak’s stream last night where he speaks on the stolen bar accusations. Ultimately, Akademiks thinks that fans need to chill out and stop looking for things that don’t exist. He admitted that Drake fans such as himself just need to admit that K-Dot is a genius and that he got one over on Drake. To claim otherwise, would simply be a bit delusional. It was an admirable stance for Akademiks to take, especially when you consider how he has a direct line to the “God’s Plan” artist.

Let us know what you think of the allegations leveled against Kendrick Lamar, in the comments section down below. Do you really believe that he was lurking through Twitter to find some bars for “Not Like Us?” Or do you think that Drake fans are just trying to find a new angle? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

DJ Akademiks Hints At New Drake Song Following Days Of Silence

by

DJ Akademiks has been one of the main sources of inside information throughout the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud. Overall, this makes a whole lot of sense when you consider how Drake is friendly with Ak. In fact, Drizzy was the one who informed Akademiks that “Family Matters” would be dropping on Friday night. At this stage, fans are curious as to whether or not the Canadian megastar is going to release again. Akademiks has been teasing a new song, and Drake has been pretty ambiguous on his Instagram page. That said, no one knows for sure what is going down.

Well, taking to Twitter today, Akademiks had a message for the fans. It was a cryptic one at that as he simply said “Appreciate the silence. What comes after it is usually great.” Ultimately, fans have no real idea what this means. It could have a whole plethora of meanings for all we know. That said, it does appear as though Drake has something up his sleeve. “The Heart Part 6” was not it for a lot of people, and they would have loved for him to have finished the feud with something a lot stronger.

DJ Akademiks Continues To Have The Inside Track

Having said all of that, on the song “Not Like Us,” Kendrick Lamar makes it apparent that he has 10 diss tracks ready to go. If that is truly the case, Drake may want to hold off on going further with the feud. After all, “Meet The Grahams” and “Not Like Us” were absolutely scathing, and both artists may damage their reputations further if this continues to go down a dark path.

Let us know what you think of this tweet from DJ Akademiks, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that this signifies that a new Drake song is going to be coming out today? Or do you believe that this is all over and done with? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

DJ Akademiks Reveals Why Rappers Haven’t Supported Drake During Kendrick Lamar Beef

by

DJ Akademiks, just like many other content creators and media figures, is starting to look at the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef from more of a retrospective. Moreover, he theorized as to why many people in the rap game haven’t supported the former in this feud, or at least pointed out various instances of people subliminally picking their side or standing in silence. In particular, the streamer named Kid Cudi and Chris Brown as two examples, one for tweeting about ghostwriting and the other for seemingly dancing to “Not Like Us” in the club. Also, he speculated on why 4batz’s new album wasn’t under OVO, didn’t feature his Drizzy remix, and instead included a Kanye West remix.

Perhaps the most salient point DJ Akademiks made throughout all of this emerged towards the beginning of the video below. “Today, I looked around, and it felt like people were trying to read the eulogy of Drake,” he said while on stream. “You know how they always say, ‘Every billionaire done f***ed over a couple of people to get to that point’? Man, Drake did a number on half of these n***as, ’cause as soon as they see Drake kind of down, everybody has a slick comment or something almost saying, ‘Yes, about f***ing time!’ They’re either jumping him or they’re happy he got jumped.”

DJ Akademiks Speaks On Other Rappers Subbing Drake & Other Kendrick Lamar Beef Narratives

Elsewhere during this clip, DJ Akademiks also revisits “The Heart Part 6,” speaks on the “Meet The Grahams” cover art, and much more. But this particular sentiment about people turning on Drake due to him screwing many people over is a theory that former Everyday Struggle co-host Joe Budden also shares. He posited it in a different way on his podcast, instead suggesting that the people directly involved in the beef like other rappers and producers showed the breadth of the distaste for the 6ix God. While Ak referred more to reactions from uninvolved parties, they both landed on a similar conclusion that something must’ve happened for Kendrick Lamar to either jump in or be asked to jump in.

Meanwhile, Drake dropped his first Instagram Story since “The Heart Part 6” and the troubling and hopefully soon-resolved incidents that happened around his home in Toronto. Whether or not the battle with Kendrick Lamar is over, folks are treating it as such right now. Maybe either artist has some more ammunition, but it seems unlikely. Now, everyone’s just examining the fallout and wondering how this will all age as the industry continues to shift.

DJ Akademiks Teases The Release Of New Diss Records: “Waiting…”

by

DJ Akademiks’ profile has risen significantly since the Drake and Kendrick Lamar battle started. He got sampled on a song, name-dropped on a song, and has been lionized as one of the main sources for new information. The internet personality was the one who confirmed that the battle stemmed from Lamar’s decision to turn down a guest spot on Drake’s “First Person Shooter.” He continued to tease his insider information on May 8. According to Ak, fans should begin preparing for brand new diss tracks.

DJ Akademiks revved up the fans when he posted a cryptic message on his Instagram Story. An all black background served as the basis for white text that read: “Waiting on a few records.” He threw a smiling emoji in for good measure, suggesting that fans are going to be in for a treat. The thing that makes Ak’s post cryptic, though, is that he doesn’t specify which rapper is dropping new music. It’s safe to assume Drake or Kendrick Lamar are the most likely candidates. This is bolstered by the fact that Akademiks said a diss track was originally supposed to drop on May 7. The only reason it didn’t was because there was a shooting at Drake’s mansion in Toronto.

DJ Akademiks Claims New Disses Are On The Way

“There was supposed to be some new music today,” Ak said via stream. “I’m not saying from who nor am I gonna confirm from either party that we’ve really been interested in.” There’s been widespread debate as to whether Drake will drop a second consecutive diss, after “The Heart Part 6,” or if Lamar will rattle off a response. Drake’s last diss received mixed reviews from listeners, and currently has more dislikes than likes on YouTube, so it may be in his best interest to try again. Lamar has stated, however, that he’s got plenty more songs tucked away.

Another theory circulating online is that the songs Ak teased were not from Drake or Lamar. Some have posited that they disses from two completely different artists. The Game, for example, has been throwing jabs at Rick Ross over social media. The Game loves to battle, as he’s seen from his two decade career, and he recently criticized the way that current rappers like J. Cole have gone “soft.” We could easily see a world in which Game decides to declare war on Rozay. As it stands, DJ Akademiks is the only one with the release info. Hopefully he’s telling the truth, and we get to hear these “records” soon.

DJ Akademiks Reveals Connection Between Whitney Alford’s Brother & Drake’s “Taylor Made Freestyle”

by

DJ Akademiks has been one of the biggest online creators commenting on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef. Overall, Akademiks has been live-streaming for quite a while. The back and forth between these two has kept Ak busy, and he constantly has to go on stream to react to the latest song. Although Kendrick appears to be winning the beef right now, Akademiks has certainly been taking up for Drake, and making a unique case for him. On his alternate IG account, Ak seems to be going deep with his investigative work.

Thanks to “Family Matters,” there has been quite a bit of talk about Kendrick’s fiance Whitney Alford, and whether or not she and Lamar are still together. Some have noticed that she and Kendrick don’t follow each other on Instagram. However, it was later noted that they have never followed one another. In a new post from Akademiks, he noted how Alford doesn’t follow her brother Taylor. Once again, some fans noted that she never has. That said, Ak also noted how Alford isn’t wearing any sort of ring on her left hand, which furthers the narrative that her and Lamar are separated.

Lastly, Akademiks also noted that Taylor Alford’s Spotify biography notes that he also goes by “TaylorMade.” Of course, Drake dropped off “Taylor Made Freestyle” a few weeks ago, only to take it down after pressure from Tupac’s estate. Some believe that this is much more than just a coincidence and that this had to have been calculated. As for what Drake may have been trying to say here, we may actually never know.

Let us know what you think of this latest theory that is circulating online, in the comments section down below.
