ED Lover Confronts Akademiks about His Snarky Rapper Remarks “I’m the reason your ass is on TV”

Ed Lover, who is known for never holding his mouth, responded, with some harsh words, to DJ Akademiks’ comments about older rappers being “dusty,”

Ed explained how there wouldn’t be an Ak without the greats that came before him in an interview with VladTV that was released on Friday (November 25).

“We all stand on the shoulders of giants,” Ed Lover said. “We all stand on the shoulders of people that have done it before us. You are not the first Black man to sit behind a mic and interview people, nor will you be the last Black man. And after you, there’s gonna be somebody else.”

Ed reminded Ak that there were no endorsements, festivals, or other such opportunities for Hip Hop artists when they first started. He continued to demonstrate how the genre’s innovators are never the ones that profit the most from it. He said that the former host of “Everyday Struggles” should apologize, in his opinion.

“You owe all of these guys an apology. Don’t get so high up on your horse, bro. Somebody did it before you! … You are looking at the reason your ass is on television. Me, Big Tigger, everybody that came before you is the reason why you have an opportunity.

“The reason why I had the opportunity is dudes like Don Cornelius. The reason why I had the opportunity to do radio is because of dudes like Frankie Crocker, and Bugsy [Buggs]. That’s the reason why I had the opp to do what I do and now you do what you do because of cats like me.”

DJ Akademiks says NBA Youngboy will drop “Realer 2” tonight

NBA Youngboy made his comeback with a brand-new song called “Purge Me,” and the rapper gained attention after sharing photos of his fiancee Jazlyn Mychelle, who is allegedly carrying his ninth child.

The Baton Rouge rapper has since deactivated his Instagram account, and according to rumors, he will release his newest album, “Realer 2,” tonight(sep, 6th). This will be his 30th project, a follow-up to “The Last Slimeto” from last month and a continuation of his mixtape from 2018.

YB different aint gon lie lol. ni**a woke up on Labor day.. just facetimed me and said .. yo i aint on instagram.. let them ppls know im dropping Realer 2 tonight. thats goat sh*t. and he a free agent…… he can do w/e he really wanna do. lol,” wrote DJ Akademiks.

“Fans f**k w/ his original ‘Realer’ project.. im wondering what type of music he got on this sh*t that he think its a proper sequel. given the fact he just dropped a 30 song album on his way out of his atlantic deal. one thing ill say. non biased. easily the hardest workin artist,” he wrote in another tweet.

Just one month before the announcement, NBA YoungBoy released The Last Slimeto, his fourth most recent album, which nearly missed the top spot on the Billboard 200 list after losing a very close sales competition to latin pop star Bad Bunny.

The album debuted at No. 2 after selling 108,400 album-equivalent units in its first week. 161.92 million of them were on-demand streams, while 4,600 were direct sales.

DJ Akademiks Claims Tory Lanez's Court Information Was Leaked By Roc Nation

DJ Akademiks Claims Tory Lanez’s Court Information Was Leaked By Roc Nation

/0 Comments/in /by

DJ Akademiks decided to weigh in on Tory Lanez’s alleged shooting of Megan Thee Stallion in the feet. Before Lanez’s felony assault hearing had started in February, Akademiks tweeted out details about the case.

On February 3, Akademiks tweeted, “It was discovered in court [a] few moments ago that Tory Lanez DNA WAS NOT found on the weapon in the Meg Thee Stallion case”. He instantly erased the message, claiming that the DNA test had yielded inconclusive results.

The Outspoken Blogger’s Tweet Sparked A Flurry Of Back-and-forth.

DJ Akademiks’ single tweet sparked a series of back-and-forth interactions with Megan Thee Stallion. The prosecutors in Tory Lanez’s case brought up Ak sharing undisclosed material with the public during this week’s hearing.

On Twitter, Rolling Stone reporter Nancy Dillon stated, “Lanez’s lawyer, Shawn Holley, maintained that Lanez did not supply DJ Akademiks with any information in the case before Akademiks posted his Twitter post. He posted ‘Tory Lanez DNA was not found on the weapon in the Meg Thee Stallion case,'”

Nancy Dillon’s tweet prompted DJ Akademiks to quote her and add his own reply. “I got it from Roc Nation… *shrug*,” the controversial Off The Record podcast host simply wrote.

DJ Akademiks Makes a Strong Remark Regarding Jay-Z’s Firm

Megan Thee Stallion is a member of Jay-Roc Z’s Nation management team. Tory Lanez hinted that he was the target of a smear campaign. Some speculated that Roc Nation was attempting to tarnish Lanez by manipulating the media.

The assertion by DJ Akademik that Roc Nation leaked favorable court material for Tory Lanez contradicts claims by Lanez supporters that Roc Nation is behind the scheme to bring the Canadian rapper down. Ak’s accusation is most likely more trolling than truth-telling.

Cardi B Wins $4M Law Claim Against Blogger

/0 Comments/in /by

Cardi B won a $4 million law claim of character criticism against blogger Latasha “Tasha K” Kebe, the judge claimed that it was a series of repeated lies about the rapper.

 

Then Cardi B sought an order from the court against Tasha K to prohibit the case from being discussed outside the limitation set by the court, indicating that she would seek after additional lawful activity for what her group portrayed as Tasha’s “promises to keep harassing” her. 

 

The decision sent shockwaves through the industry, not only because of the large sum given, but because of the precedent, it set for bloggers to be penalized for publishing misinformation.

From that point forward, two different artists have taken steps to go with the same pattern, in light of careless web-based media posts.

  

Toward the end of February, Teyana Taylor pointed at suing a TikToker who declared that the vocalist was engaging in drug abuse because of the challenges in her marriage. Also, before long, Megan Thee Stallion chastised DJ Akademiks for a deceptive report he made about her appearance in the court with Tory Lanez, she posted a warning on her Instagram Story, “Don’t get sued trying to create a hate campaign. Be a real journalist and post FACTS.”
