DJ Akademiks has been under fire recently for comments he made about old-school rappers, and for criticizing Reginae Carter and her relationships.

During a Twitch video, Akademiks talked about old-school rappers and how he doesn’t want anything to do with them.


“Them old rappers, man. Have you seen any of these old rappers who be like, yo, they’re the foundation of hip-hop really living good? Them n—– be looking really dusty, I kid you not,” Akademiks said. “And none of y’all try to come for me, ’cause I don’t f— with y’all n—– either, so I’m just telling y’all the truth.”

LL Cool J said his peace when the video was released, and Spice 1 was the most recent artist to respond to the streamer on the “Art of Dialogue” show.


“Like that Akademiks bulls—. I gotta keep on that s— over and over again because I can’t understand why a motherf—– would disrespect OGs like that and then people will sit there and let him do it,” Spice 1 said. “Somebody needs to slap the s— out of that n—-.”

On another recent live stream, Akademiks brought up Reginae Carter and her failed relationship with YFN Lucci.

“Reginae loved hood n—–, she loved YFN Lucci,” Akademiks said. “You know these b—–, let me not call her a b—-. These chicks love a hood n—- until he’s facing 25 to life.”

On Sept. 25, T.I. went on Instagram and said he wanted to have a word with Akademiks following his comments.

“I would love to have a word with Akademiks,” T.I. said in the video. “[Reginae] was raised by a village who loves and protects her [with] all our physical and spiritual abilities … she is MY business.”
