DJ Akademiks Reveals Why He's Done Criticizing Jay-Z And Roc Nation

DJ Akademiks has been extremely critical of Jay-Z and Roc Nation as of late. In fact, this criticism was the catalyst for his recent sit-down with Charlamagne Tha God, where he made it crystal clear that he thinks the media has a pro-Jay-Z bias.

This past weekend, Jay-Z performed at Yankee Stadium, and it led to all sorts of praise for the legendary rapper. Hip-hop media was out in full force, and the fans themselves were having an incredible time. It was proof that Jay-Z's influence isn't manufactured. Instead, he is an organic force with one of the most dedicated fan bases in the culture.

During his stream last night, Akademiks revealed that he is throwing in the towel when it comes to his Jay-Z criticism. He feels as though hip-hop media is doing the work for him by exposing their supposed biases.

“I don’t have to keep beating a dead horse," Akademiks said. “People are seeing through the manipulation.” Throughout his stream, the commentator also said that Drake and Nicki Minaj have been effective at criticizing Jay-Z on social media and through their music.

Subsequently, he said that Ebro's defense of Charlamagne Tha God is further proof that the media is trying to manipulate the narrative surrounding Jay-Z. Ak is feeling as though he is one of the few who see through the alleged facade. However, he would rather let the facade unravel then continue harping on it.

One has to wonder if he would feel this way had Jay's Yankee Stadium shows flopped. They were a massive success, and now, Ak is backing down. The timing couldn't be more eyebrow raising.
