DJ Akademiks Explains Why Erykah Badu Upset Him So Much

DJ Akademiks is someone who has gotten into petty feuds with a whole lot of people over the years. Overall, it is easy to see why this would be the case. He is a content creator who speaks freely on a plethora of topics. When you are opinionated, people will take issue with that. Furthermore, when you take the clapbacks personally, well, that is how beef starts. We have seen Ak go toe-to-toe with countless people over the years. He has even had some smoke for the world’s biggest legends.

For instance, Akademiks recently found himself at odds with the likes of Erykah Badu. During an iconic appearance on Everyday Struggle, Badu likened Akademiks to Jerry the mouse from Tom & Jerry.

He did so on one of his late-night streams and it led to a few headlines. Recently, Akademiks spoke about the feud with VladTV and offered insight into the origins of the beef.

50 Cent & Fat Joe’s Beef Caused Issues Within The Knicks, Tim Thomas Recalls

Tim Thomas says that his support for G-Unit caused a rift between himself and his fellow Knicks teammate Stephon Marbury during the 2004 and 2005 seasons. Speaking on the WKND WRK podcast, he explained Marbury was a big Fat Joe fan during his beef with 50 Cent.

“Me and Steph grew up together, we went to Five Star Basketball camp. I knew his brothers, his mom, his pops. We actually played for Fat Joe with Terror Squad at the Rucker,” he explained. “It was really no issues between us at all until 50 and Fat Joe got into it. That’s when me and Steph kinda separated. We was actually teammates at this particular time. It was a lot of different things that transpired between those three years of them beefing. I remember Fat Joe being courtside and Steph showing him love. And I’m looking at them like, ‘Damn, I can’t go over there and say what’s up to him?’”

50 Cent and Fat Joe’s beef grew year after year in the early 2000s and culminated in their two crews nearly getting in a brawl at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards. The G-Unit mogul recently admitted that he regretted feuding with Fat Joe during an interview with Rolling Stone. “Fat Joe, his issues, I would see him a little uncomfortable with the success I was having, and I interpreted as, ‘He doesn’t like me,’ when he’s really the kind of guy you want to be friends with because he’s loyal to a default,” he said, earlier this year. “He’s so loyal for one record that [Murder Inc.] did with him that we became enemies.” Check out Tim Thomas’ comments on how the feud led to a rift in the Knicks below.

Travis Barker Addresses Rumors He Caused Feud Between Kourtney & Kim Kardashian: “Stop It”

Travis Barker says it’s “ridiculous” to think that his past fling with Kim Kardashian has played a role in her and Kourtney Kardashian’s ongoing feud. The Blink-182 star addressed the rumors during a Los Angeles Times interview. The outlet began by citing his 2016 memoir, Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating Death, And Drums, Drums, Drums. In the book, Barker wrote that Kim was working as Hilton’s closet organizer, and he “kept on secretly checking out Kim” and told a friend, “I don’t care if she’s the closet girl, she’s f*cking hot.”

Now, Barker tells the L.A. Times: “It’s like, ‘Kourtney’s fans are worried about Travis. He’s a womanizer.’ Stop it. I obviously shared all that stuff because I wanted to move past it. It was therapeutic for me. […] That’s her sister. She knows we used to talk. Nothing bad was going on. You give people a little information and they think they’ve solved the mystery of ‘this is why they’re fighting.’ It’s just so ridiculous.”

Kourtney and Kim have been feuding since Kim worked with Dolce & Gabbana in 2022 after Kourtney already worked with them for her and Travis Barker’s wedding. They’ve been trading shots throughout the family’s show, The Kardashians. Despite the beef, Kourtney still wished Kim a happy birthday on Instagram, earlier this month. In doing so, she brought up their tumultuous relationship.

“Happy happy birthday to my first sister @kimkardashian!” Kourtney wrote on her Instagram Story. “Thank you for all those years of bossing you around and you actually listening to all my cr*zy ideas. People think the fights they’ve seen on tv are bad…if only they got to witness the hair pulling, nail digging ones from early high school. The joys of sisterhood. I love you deeply forever and always. May God bless this year with love and happiness and abundant joy. [heart emoji].” Be on the lookout for further updates on Kourtney and Kim’s feud on HotNewHipHop.

Tasha K Told Nicki Minaj To End Cardi B Feud, She Claims

During a recent live stream, Tasha K spoke on her relationship with Nicki Minaj. According to her, she chats with the queen of rap on occasion, and refused to sign an NDA despite Nicki’s requests. She went on to claim that the two of them have discussed Cardi B in the past, who they both have famously had beef with.

While the gossip blogger currently owes Cardi quite a bit of cash in their defamation lawsuit, she still seems to have some sympathy for the “Bongos” performer. According to her, Cardi and Nicki actually have a lot in common, and wishes they would just settle their feud for good. “I want all of this behind me,” she explained. “I’ve said this to Nicki and she didn’t like it. She’ll go through bouts where she’ll talk to me and she won’t talk to me — I don’t care because I’m not starstruck like that; Imma tell you the truth. I said, ‘You and Cardi are the same.’”

Tasha K continued, “They have good traits that make people excited, right? They get their [fans] excited but [the] one who’s experienced is not sharing her wisdom with someone who’s young and up-and-coming. I know that’s hard for her because of how the industry tore her down, but Nicki truly has the tools and the resources to help pull this young lady up, and even if she helped to pull her up, it’s not going to pull Nicki the f*ck down.”

She later went on to clarify her statements, claiming that she wasn’t trying to cause any trouble with her NDA talk. “Something just came over me to say it, but it wasn’t… If it came out in a messy way, that’s not what I meant,” she described. “Me and Nicki have talked a lot over the years, and there’s a lot of stuff that people don’t know.” What do you think of Tasha K’s recent claims about Nicki Minaj and Cardi B?

Tasha K Refused To Sign Nicki Minaj’s NDA, Reveals Details Of Their Cardi B Conversations

During a recent live stream, Tasha K claimed that she once spoke to Nicki Minaj about her relationship with Cardi B. The gossip blogger says that she was asked to sign an NDA to protect their conversation, however, she she refused. According to her, it would defeat the purpose of her going to court with Cardi.

“The reason that I didn’t sign the NDA that she wanted me to sign was because I said ‘If I sign an NDA with you […] then I might as well not go to court with Cardi.” According to Tasha K, the two of them actually have a lot of similarities, although Nicki doesn’t like to believe it. She went on to say that she thinks Nicki should have used her expertise to give Cardi some pointers at the beginning of her career, as helping her out wouldn’t “pull [her] down.”
