DJ Akademiks has been on a scorched-earth policy when it comes to flaming female rappers as of late, and a member of rap royalty had the time to respond to the social media fracas.
Queen Latifah, née Dana Owens, 53, took to her seven million-strong Instagram page to repost a stream of consciousness from user @mysonnenygeneral who accuses Akademiks of hypocrisy and cowardice because he is incessantly trolling Black women.
“It’s crazy to me how DJ Akademiks is crying scared to say anything to Saucy Santana because he’s a gay man and he’s scared of getting “[canceled],” but [he] has said some of the most outlandish, vile, disrespectful and demeaning things to Black women with absolutely no fear whatsoever…”
The user completed a thought from a classic Malcolm X statement, which reads:
“[This] brings me back to Malcolm X’s quote … the most disrespected, unprotected and neglected person [in] America is the Black woman!”
This clapback from Latifah comes on the heels of rapper Saucy Santana, 30, who blistered Akademiks after he torched the City Girls — and Yung Miami in particular — due to their latest album’s low album sales.
In speaking about the album RAW on his podcast “Off the Record,” Akademiks said this:
“I contacted RIAA, personally, today, and I had to run it by a few executives. They passed the phone; they were playing phone tag. They passed me to one guy, then to another guy, and I talked to the head of the RIAA,” Akademiks began.
“They told me this s— went fifteen times plastic. This s— was ridiculous, this s— was ridiculous! They said, ‘Ak, this is the first triple plastic certification we’ve given out.’ He said, ‘The last time they dropped a record, it went double styrofoam.”
Saucy Santana swooped in and ripped into Akademiks for repeated verbal violations against Yung Miami.
“What the f— is you keep doing interviews for, talking about Yung Miami for? You think nobody won’t press you up! And that’s the mutherf——- problem!”
Santana also challenged Akademiks to a fight:
“Nobody don’t never know where you at, but we all have public flyers and posters on our mutherf—— page!” he roared online.
Akademiks, in response to Santana, got emotional on video because he said there are certain things he doesn’t attack and is angry that he has to just sit and take the heat.
