DJ Akademiks went back and forth with a hip-hop journalist on Twitter, Tuesday. The user had accused DJ Akademiks and his fanbase of being "part of the fuckery," to which Akademiks told him to "eat a dick."

"If you're following cats like DJ Akademiks, you're a part of the fuckery and need to hold yourself accountable for the role you play in the preservation of fuck shit," the user posted on Twitter. Akademiks then replied: "Shut up lil N***a. I made myself. Biggest platform cuz I grinded for it for 15 years. No one gave me shit that’s why I can tweet at peons like u to EAT A DICK."

The user then replied back at Akademiks: "You corny, n***a. Your platform aint ever gonna cancel you out from being the lame n***a you are. You talk shit from behind a screen and be getting pressed by rappers. And I won't/never will take away from your hard work, but doesn't cancel you out from being a cancer to culture."

"Sheesh! This the spice I like to see! Lmfaoooo tell that n***a," one user responded to the back and forth. Another called out Akademiks: "Akademiks telling n****s to 'eat a dick' and never threw a punch in his life is actually hilarious"

The interaction comes after Akademiks announced that he'd be bringing his content over to Rumble. The Hip-Hop pundit spoke about joining the right-wing streaming outlet in a statement released on Monday. “I look forward to being one of the first to bring music and cultural conversations to a platform like Rumble,” said DJ Akademiks. “There have been many bad decisions at larger platforms where they haven’t put creators first and they are disconnected to the community. I feel now is an inflection point for streaming platforms. I couldn’t be more excited to lead this effort on a platform that puts creators first.” Akademiks' first live stream on the platform will air at 6:00 PM, ET on Tuesday, April 11th.
