🚨 DJ Akademiks just turned a cryptic tweet into a full-blown industry exposé. After his post — “Pray for Nicki Minaj. Roc Nation is devious.” — went viral, Ak jumped on stream to clarify what he really meant.

And no, it wasn’t about fandom or sympathy. According to him, it was a warning.

“I didn’t say pray for Nicki Minaj because I like her. I said it because Roc Nation is devious.”

The comment sent social media into overdrive — with some thinking he’d suddenly joined Team Nicki. But as Ak made clear, this wasn’t about picking sides.

🎙️ “I’m Not an Ally of Nicki Minaj”

Ak kicked off his livestream by setting boundaries:

“I’m not an ally of Minaj. I’m not a friend of Nicki Minaj. Me and Nicki don’t speak. I have no horse in the race.”

He said his message wasn’t about defending Nicki personally — it was about validating her warning regarding what she called “industry power plays.”

“What she’s alluding to about Roc Nation? I’ve seen the same disturbing patterns and trends.”

🕵🏽‍♂️ “They Use Bullying Tactics — I’ve Seen It”

Ak went further, accusing Roc Nation of using intimidation and influence to control narratives in the music industry.

According to him, the company has a history of:

• Pressuring media voices through corporate or financial means

• Leaking or fabricating accusations to ruin reputations

• Using relationships and sponsorships to silence dissent

“They’ll bully you, throw money around, or suddenly somebody pops up with an accusation, a debt, or a reason to shut you down.”

He claimed these weren’t rumors — they were patterns he’s personally observed over time.

🧩 “I Could Name Five People Who Folded”

Ak said Nicki’s not the only one who’s felt that pressure.

“I could name you five people who had issues with Roc Nation — business, timing, whatever — and all of them threw in the white flag.”

He half-joked, half-admitted:

“Damn, I’m about ready to throw in the white flag too.”

His point: few people in media or music have the leverage to stand up once Roc Nation gets involved.

⚖️ Roc Nation’s Name in Legal Context

To back up his claims, Ak referenced what he said was a recent legal deposition tied to Megan Thee Stallion’s legal matters.

“In a deposition that was supposed to be about Megan’s case, somebody literally said, ‘Go tell Desiree Perez what Akademiks is saying.’”

Ak emphasized that Desiree Perez, Roc Nation’s CEO, wasn’t directly part of that case — suggesting what he called “interest beyond reason.”

To him, that’s proof of how deep the company’s network runs.

🙏🏽 “Don’t Call Nicki Crazy”

Even while reminding viewers he’s not a fan, Ak defended Nicki Minaj’s right to speak freely about her experiences.

“I might not like Nicki Minaj, but let’s relax before calling her crazy when she talks about Roc Nation.”

He warned fans that if she continues to expose industry dealings, retaliation might follow.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if a few things start happening. I don’t even want to speak it into existence — but pray for her.”

🧠 What Sparked It: Nicki’s Cryptic Tweets

This all came after Nicki Minaj posted a series of cryptic tweets about “evil energy,” “industry setups,” and people “selling their souls for power.”
Ak’s tweet — “Pray for Nicki Minaj. Roc Nation is devious.” — exploded within hours, with fans debating whether he was mocking her or showing solidarity.

His clarification reframed it as genuine concern — and a veiled warning to others.

💬 The Bigger Message

At the heart of Ak’s rant is a serious accusation: that major management firms quietly influence media, lawsuits, and public narratives in ways the public rarely sees.

“Everyone isn’t saying these things for nothing,” he warned. “Some of us have seen too much.”

He cast his “pray for Nicki” tweet not as gossip, but as a public caution — a signal that even powerful artists can be targeted when they refuse to fall in line.

🚨 Bottom Line

DJ Akademiks says his “Pray for Nicki Minaj” post wasn’t about siding with her — it was about calling out what he calls Roc Nation’s intimidation game.
He claims he’s witnessed the tactics firsthand: bullying, manipulation, and quiet blacklisting.

And while he insists he’s no fan of Nicki, he believes her warnings deserve to be heard — not dismissed.

💬 Final Takeaway:
Ak’s message isn’t about celebrity beef — it’s about free speech in an industry built on silent power.
Whether you believe him or not, his tweet exposed one truth about modern hip-hop: sometimes the real battles aren’t on the charts — they’re behind the curtain.
