HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Earl Gibson III / Getty Last week, up-and-coming Brooklyn rapper Kay Flock was arrested for allegedly murdering a rival gang member at a barbershop. Apparently, someone got at DJ Akademiks for speaking about the situation. Responding to a comment posted by rap video director Spike Tarintino, in which he basically blamed Akademiks for shining a light on the shooting and insinuating that he’s the reason police arrested Kay Flock, the controversial media personality clapped back at Spike by calling him a “video camera ni**a for Brooklyn drill artists promoting murder.” Further blaming Spike for the violence behind the New York drill scene, Akademiks added, “You were shooting videos for ni**as who were dissin’ other ni**as who if they saw each other, somethin...

Hit-Boy Opens Up About Kanye’s ‘Drink Champs’ Interview
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Vivien Killilea / Getty Now that Big Sean has finally responded to the shots that Kanye West took at him on Drink Champs, Hit-Boy is opening up about his feelings on the situation and is just as confused as Big Sean was at the initial slander. Chopping it up with DJ Akademiks on his Off The Record podcast, Hit-Boy said he was taken aback by Ye calling his Big Sean signing the “worst” thing he’s ever done as the three of them were kicking it together just days before the interview aired and Ye was acting like things were on the up and up. Related Stories “That was confusing for me, because me and Sean was with him for two days straight and he had already recorded the Drink Champs so it was weird for him to not say nothing. That sh*t threw me off.” He was c...
IG Model Whitney LeDawn Pulled The Burner Out On Akademiks, Twitter Piles On Relentless Slander
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Earl Gibson III / Getty DJ Akademiks might need to invest in some new security measures or face the wrath that his brash and bold opinions can inspire in others. During a recent appearance as a guest on the Fresh & Fit Podcast, Ak found himself engaged in a verbal war with Instagram model Whitney LeDawn, who reportedly pulled a gun out of her bag on Akademiks and the guests of the show while the cameras were rolling. During the heated discussion, Ak hit a sore spot with LeDawn after he verbally accosted her for having a child out of wedlock and even seemingly threatened to have her harmed for coming at him. LeDawn jabbed at Ak over his weight and she was eventually escorted out of the studio space but apparently returned to brandish a weapon tow...
DJ Akademiks Puts Brittany Renner On Side Chick Front Street, Twitter Can’t Believe It
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Paul Archuleta / Getty DJ Akademiks is back in the broadcast game in a big way with his new Off The Record podcast venture, and he’s already getting a lot of attention by way of a recent episode. While sitting down with Brittany Renner, Ak essentially put the popular Instagram model on side chick front street after she tried to push back on the idea she might be one. In the podcast’s latest episode titled “The Trap Queen?,” Renner faced the music of being accused of setting up NBA player P.J. Washington and a recent visit to Jackson State University where she essentially leaned into her villainess role. Related Stories We haven’t peeped the episode in question but folks on Twitter have been circulating a clip of their conversation in where Renner in...
DJ Akademiks Launches ‘Off The Record’ Video Podcast On Spotify
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Spotify / Spotify DJ Akademiks is back with his brand new podcast. Actually, a “vodcast.” Since the forever-controversial Hip-Hop commentator parted ways with Complex, Joe Budden and Everyday Struggle, most of his drama-infused content was brought to us via Twitch, but on Monday, the Jamaica-born, New York-raised media personality officially launched his new video podcast, Off the Record, which is available exclusively on Spotify.

Future Says Blu Jasmine “Big Capping” After She Claimed He Offered 5 Stacks For Sex
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Prince Williams / Getty Future has earned a reputation as a so-called “sniper” when it comes to the ladies, although he’s also known for having a ton of kids due to his galavanting ways. However, he clearly knows discernment after refuting claims that he offered Instagram model Blu Jasmine $5,000 for sex after she appeared on Twitch with DJ Akademiks. Blu Jasmine, who frames herself as a “Motivational Speaker,” hopped on Twitch with Ak and the discussion was apparently about rappers paying for the privilege of a young lady’s time. Blu claimed that women are getting $10,000 from Future but Ak wasn’t believing it. In fact, Blu then said that the “Stick Talk” rapper offered her half of that amount but Akademiks didn’t believe her. Adding to that disbelief, F...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Twitter / Twitter If you’ve been a longtime supporter of DJ Akademiks or The Joe Budden Podcast, then it should be known to you that there’s been some tension between the two entities previously. Given the perceived issues happening with Budden and his current co-hosts, Ak took a shot at Rory and Mal by offering them jobs detailing one of his expensive rides. Via an Instagram post, the Everyday Struggle and streaming host showed off his new collection of vehicles in the driveway of his home, which appears to be sitting on a nice plot of land. The caption of the photo quotes Drake and takes a shot at Rory and Mal. “Heard the stooges on strike..don’t worry I still need a full time detailer for my cars,” Ak wrote. He then went on to quote Drake lyrics from t...
DJ Akademiks Claims Male Rappers Are Hooking Up With Male Execs
Source: Earl Gibson III / Getty In the entertainment world, it has been alleged by observers that artists and their colleagues have engaged in behavior not befitting of most working relationships. However, DJ Akademiks took it a step further and claims that male rappers are sexually linking up with male executives in what appears to be an open secret. A Twitter fan recorded a portion of Ak’s Twitch stream from this week and shared it to the social media network, highlighting the streamer addressing the recent abuse allegations against T.I. and Tiny. Ak essentially said that there is a seedy underworld in Hip-Hop circles that most fans will never be privy to. “I don’t really think that I believe all this stuff but I’m a just say this,” Ak begins. “In the land of Hollyweird, don’t ever think...
