Meek Mill and Freddie Gibbs are among the many voices taking a stand against Akademiks following serious allegations regarding grooming an underage individual.
A video clip from a Fortnite stream that surfaced over the weekend depicts Akademiks in dialogue with a 15-year-old named NourGXD, during which he made several inappropriate comments. “Yo, if [PlaqueBoy]max said he wanted to try fucking a dude, will you let him fuck you?” he asked the teenager. When Nour awkwardly responded with “no,” Akademiks pressed on, questioning, “Why not?” The host of Off the Record humorously suggested being “inside” the boy and jokingly inquired if he would “smash” the older sister of a fellow streamer. Nour then labeled Ak’s comments as “grooming,” insisting, “I’m 15. She’s above 18.”
Intense backlash followed against Akademiks for his alarming behavior, with rap rivals Meek Mill and Freddie Gibbs quickly voicing their disapproval.
Meek took to X to caution the parents of teenagers, asserting, “If you’re a parent, go take your kid’s phone and block this man. He’s grooming children with a massive platform that ‘kids’ like… and persistently attempts to damage black families and black success—’VILLAIN IN THE VILLAGE.’” He further remarked, “At this point, he’s an extremist! This is the individual spreading false narratives about black culture; this ‘diabolical work’ is why he wants us all to appear gay and discredit successful black men daily! This better be AI!!!”
Freddie Gibbs, known for his past disputes with Akademiks, directly called him a “bitch” on X.
Akademiks’ Apology Rejected: Nour Fires Back with Strong Words on X
In a later statement, Akademiks referred to his comments as “regrettable,” acknowledging, “I am wrong. I will strive to improve. This serves as a teachable moment for me.” He attempted to rationalize his remarks to NourGXD by stating: “Bro, it’s a dude. If it was a woman, it would be very different […] That’s like the little bro. I used to teach my cousin—even when he was underage—‘Yo, n-gga. You don’t got a girl?’” Moreover, he responded to his critics, asserting, “I’m still the biggest, pause. You can’t cancel what you didn’t build.”
Despite Akademiks’ attempt at an apology, Nour rejected it, promptly remarking on X: “After everything that transpired, and with them trying to defame Max, the fact that he only realizes he’s in the wrong because he got caught is insane.” “[I]dgaf, you are a pdf; you ‘apologized’ with a backhanded ‘oh 5$TAR So Toxic etc,’ just shut up. I bleed and breathe 5$TAR weird ass mf.” Nour further described Ak’s remarks as “truly uncomfortable, unnecessary, and disgusting.”
