Meek Mill and Akademiks continue to go at each other.

The feud between Meek Mill and Akademiks doesn’t appear to have an end in sight. That seems especially true when the two take shots at each other out of the blue, even though Meek blocked him on X. Most recently, Meek chimed in on the Akademiks drama with Sneako before asking about Ak’s roots in Jamaica.

“Can we verify Akademiks is from Spanish town because he don’t promote any Jamaican artist music? Why is that? I have family in Spanish town let me know where this guy is really from!” Meek tweeted.

Naturally, Ak fired back. He stated that the support he receives in Jamaica is unwavering unlike the support system Meek has in Philadelphia. Frankly, that’s a bold claim when Meek is still highly respected in his city.

“Yute they love me more in Jamaica more than they love you in Philly lil Boy. U turned into a fan page tryna get my attention. thought u said u were done talking to me til ur 120 days voodoo worked,” Akademiks replied.

Meek Mill & Akademiks Go At It

And once Meek shared a video related to the Sneako drama, Ak snapped, again. “U a clip page now .. I’ll help u get back on but u gon have to pay…. Ur old label (ATLANTIC)  use to pay me a bag to keep ur career going .. u not exempt. Independent or no,” he wrote.

It should be noted that Meek’s tweets have since been deleted following Akademiks response, though there’s not a clear reason why. Meanwhile, Akademiks received a cease-and-desist letter from Sneako’s lawyer after sharing what was alleged to be an AI video.
