Young Nudy Had No Interest In Answering DJ Akademiks’ Question: Watch

by

Young Nudy is an artist of few words. Although he has a huge presence in his songs, in interviews, he takes a more quiet approach. This is certainly fair and not a rare quality amongst artists across all genres. While someone can be famous, they can still be quite camera-shy. Moreover, there are lots of people out there who just hate talking about themselves. Overall, this can be hard to overcome, regardless of how many interviews you do. That said, sometimes it can be hard for the interviewer to find some common ground.

DJ Akademiks found that out the hard way recently as he had Young Nudy and Baby Drill on the latest episode of Off The Record. The interview is starting to make its way to Instagram and other social media platforms. In a post from Akademiks on IG, you can see one clip that he felt was particularly interesting. Below, you will see how Ak asks Nudy and Baby Drill who their favorite artists are, other than themselves. Both artists barely answer, although Nudy lets out that he likes Baby Drill and 21 Savage.

Young Nudy x DJ Akademiks

From there, DJ Akademiks tries to be funny by bringing his shades down and asking if Young Nudy raps about real situations. Of course, this is one of those questions that can be interpreted as some sort of trap. Nudy senses this immediately and refuses to answer. He just shakes his head and lets out a bit of a smirk. In Ak’s Instagram captioned, he made light of this non-answer, saying “Mans dem was acting like we were in the interrogation room hollyyy.”

Some fans have been commenting on Ak’s page, saying that they shouldn’t have been interviewed to begin with. However, in this day and age, content is content. Even though they didn’t answer the question, Ak still was able to salvage something. Let us know what you thought of the interview, down below.

Summer Walker Is Scared Of Being Canceled

by

Summer Walker has come out to say why she suffers from shyness, especially when it comes to interviews. Since her rise in popularity in 2018, Summer Walker remains relatively reserved. However, she has now come out to state the reason for her hesitancy to speak out in interviews. In an Instagram story, Summer states that she has spent 27 years trying to understand her own shyness. “It’s cause I’m trying real hard not to say something crazy. I’m literally walking around over thinking how not to hurt anyone’s feelings.”

Summer Walker’s anxiety around interviews is understandable, given the high stakes of public scrutiny. In recent years, several high-profile musicians have faced backlash for controversial statements and behavior. This can result in lost fans and brand deals. As a relatively new artist, Summer may feel particularly vulnerable to criticism. In fact, Summer has already garnered some heat for seemingly innocent comments she has made on Instagram before. But fans are acutely aware of her absence from interviews in comparison to her R&B peers.

Summer Walker Is Too “Ghetto” For Interviews

At the same time, Summer Walker’s reluctance to engage with the media could also limit her career opportunities. Interviews and press appearances are important tools for building a fanbase and promoting new music. By avoiding these opportunities, Summer may miss out on potential fans and industry connections. However, she has not always kept to herself. Summer has opened up a bit about her pregnancy and children, and how they impact her life. She happily talks about how her twins, and how proud she is of herself for bringing them into the world.

However, Summer Walker has felt the need to address why she does not frequently attend interviews. In her own words, Summer feels that she is too ghetto to get away with an interview gracefully. “Deep down I’m ghetto af n I be scared ima get canceled.” Born on April 11th, Summer is an Aries, who are known for their fiery passion. In the hopes of not offending anyone, she chooses to hold her tongue. While cancel culture is a real concern, it’s important for artists to stay true to themselves. But at the same time, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons of speaking your mind freely.
