Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Laughters as only 8 people attended DJ Akademiks live show for 2023 Roots Picnic.
Freddie Gibbs has added to Akademiks‘ woes after his live podcast at the 2023 Roots Picnic reportedly struggled to draw much of a crowd.
The controversial media personality hosted an episode of his Off the Record podcast at The Roots’ annual Philadelphia festival on Saturday night (June 3), where he interviewed rising Florida rapper Lil Boom.
Viral footage from the taping showed a smattering of people stood by the Podcast Stage as the interview went down, with various tweets claiming “only eight people” were in attendance.
Gangsta Gibbs, who has routinely sparred with Akademiks on social media in recent years, appeared to revel in his rivals’ apparent misfortune by sharing a clip of his alleged crowd struggles on Twitter while writing: “Damn.”
On Tuesday (May 30), video of DJ Akademiks going off on Yung Miami began circulating. In the clip, Ak disses Miami by calling her talentless.
“Yung Miami is, to me, a clown. She’s a one-trick pony,” DJ Akademiks opined on his Twitch stream, in the video below. “She is not talented [enough] to do anything else. The only active talent is to be like, ‘Yo, I’m pimping these dudes out.’ While you come out in interviews and you were crying. You talked to Diddy to DM me. ‘Yo, please, he’s calling me a side chick.'”
From there, Ak addressed Diddy directly.
“Diddy, the only reason I’m going back in on her, I heard her on some show, she called me a very naughty word,” Ak added. “Diddy…respect to you but check your girl.”
Yung Miami responded to being called out in the comment section of an Instagram blog, simply commenting “Batty Boy,” which is a Jamaican slang for homosexual.
DJ Akademiks first started beef with Yung Miami when the blogger called her Diddy’s side piece after the Bad Boy Entertainment founder revealed he’d fathered a child with another woman while he was dating the rapper last December.
