DJ Akademiks isn't liked by everyone.

DJ Akademiks is someone who has angered a lot of people in the hip-hop world. Overall, he knows that being honest and unfiltered will garner a lot of attention. However, he has tried to be as authentic as possible, which is admirable. He has grown a massive platform and he continues to do big things with the likes of Spotify and Rumble. That said, now more than ever before, he has been getting pressed for a lot of his takes. Moreover, this has led to some breakdowns over petty beef.

Recently, Akademiks got into it with the likes of Saucy Santana, which was a weird crossover. In the past, he has also had beef with Vic Mensa, Erykah Badu, SZA, and a whole host of others. Akademiks has been mostly unapologetic about these feuds, and that will continue to be the case. However, this does open him up to scrutiny from the public. For instance, during a Figgmunity Live event in New York, Akademiks was pressed by an audience member, In footage from HipHopDX, you can see the whole thing go down.
