DJ Akademiks is facing intense backlash after explicit comments toward a fifteen-year-old streamer surfaced online, sparking widespread criticism and leading to his Twitch ban. The reaction has been swift, with "The Breakfast Club" airing the disturbing audio and industry figures calling him out. Akademiks, known for his relentless support of Drake and clashes with Kendrick Lamar fans, claims the outrage is a setup by "Kendrick stans," but the receipts tell a different story. With past comments about underage girls resurfacing and a history of controversial behavior, this moment feels different—more than just another scandal. Twitch is done with him, fans are divided, and even the artists he’s defended are staying silent. The question now is whether Akademiks can talk his way out of this one or if this is the moment his empire finally crumbles. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
