Caught by Complex Neo begins, “Thankfully I’m legally fine in every way, AND BOI DO I GOT ALL MY RECIEPTS FOR THINGS HAHAHAHA.”

He then discusses the probe which he was called in for by a Los Angeles court.

“I think the worst part is that I’ve told so many people that I trust and I thought knew me as a person my side of things, all for that to be thrown out the fkin window as soon as I get arrested and they slap that d*ckheads name next to mine.”

Here, he seems to be referring to d4vd here, perhaps even suggesting that he may be guilty.

Was d4vd Charged With Celeste Rivas’ Murder?

Neo Langston then continues on about his arrest/court appearance. “And for the record, the thing I was arrested for wasn’t even charged. They never filed it and my warrant was retracted because there is more to the story then what’s on the news.”

If you remember, Langston was handcuffed in Helena, Montana in January over dodging this call to court. But not too long after being sent over to the Los Angeles’ Metropolitan Detention Center, Langston satisfied a $60,000 bail.

On February 4, the streamer would speak with the grand jury on the case for about 30-40 minutes.

Another big development in this tragic story is that d4vd is the “target” in this puzzling case. Last month, unsealed court documents revealed that the “Romantic Homicide” talent is suspected of murdering Rivas. He’s yet to be formally charged with any crime but it’s something to watch moving forward.

“Mob Ties the worst deal I ever signed,” he began. “I should’ve just went to Atlantic by myself. Why is it motherf*ckers that ain’t got no hits, ain’t accomplished nothing, how the f*ck are they getting in these rooms I ain’t getting in. I got gold plaques and sh*t… All this talent is just going to waste. At this point, this is slavery. Let me out. Let me go. I don’t wanna do the album no more.” Finesse2Tymes has had several commercially successful songs over the years, including his 2022 track, “Back End,” which was certified gold by the RIAA.

When DJ Akademiks shared the video on Instagram, Finesse2Tymes popped up in the comments section to add: “I ain’t looking for not sympathy u live and u learn but I pictured a life wayyy better than this. It is what it is. We live and we learn.”

Other fans shared supportive messages. “He showing all the artist why it’s important to stay independent it might take a little longer but at least it’ll be worth it,” one user wrote. Another added: “Say what you want, but finesse really can rap. They really wasting his talent.”

Finesse2Tymes’ Beef With Offset

In other news, Finesse2Tymes made headlines outside of his music for feuding with Offset, earlier this year. That tension began when Finesse2tymes weighed in on Cardi B‘s relationship with her then-boyfriend, Stefon Diggs. He described the New England Patriots star as “that n***a that hit Offset’s b*tch.” Offset fired back: “B*tch a** n***a don’t say my name.” The exchange eventually escalated with Finesse2Tymes threatening to punch the Migos rapper.

“Egypt (Pepa and Treach’s daughter) loss her fight, blue face loss… I think these public figures need at least 6 months in the gym before they start fighting in real fights, my opinion.”

She also said that Blueface didn’t really get robbed, which has been a popular take online since Saturday. Responding to someone who thought so, Claressa said, “Well, I watched the fight and I thought big boy won too, crazy fight tho.”

But while Shield’s comments seem more constructive rather than malicious, Blue’s mom Karlissa doesn’t think so. In fact, she took to her Instagram Story to call out the 30-year-old per Live Bitez.

“Y’all tell @claressa to tell her man to fight @bluefasebabyy or shut tf up with her funny lookin ssa tf.”

Who Did Blueface Fight At Adin Ross’ Boxing Event?

Overall, it seems she’s taking Blue’s side on this issue, which isn’t a surprise. With her fiery response to Claressa it also appears she agrees that her son was robbed of a win.

The “Thotiana” songwriter lost to Chibu, another big streamer, by decision after six rounds. However, the former believes the fight was purely used for Adin Ross to fatten his pockets. He even went as far as to call him out to his face, which didn’t sit well with the streamer.

After the fight, Blue said, “Adin, you know damn well you ain’t gon’ lose your own money on your own fight card. I definitely wasn’t unanimous decision. I give it four to two. But hey, shout out to Brand Risk… I probably won’t get back on Brand Risk because you’re tampering with the bets.”

He added, “I’ll definitely never fight on Brand Risk again. Just based on Adin’s business skills,” he said on a stream sometime later.

When No Jumper compiled the clips on Instagram, fans praised Jordan in the comments section. “From playing a small part in the wire to winning a Oscar award!” one user wrote. Another added: “Goat he needs to make more movies, he reminds of Denzel.”

Who Won Best Actor At The Oscars?

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

At the Academy Awards on Sunday, Michael B. Jordan took home Best Actor for playing twin brothers Smoke and Stack. On stage, he thanked director Ryan Coogler for giving him the opportunity. “I’m so honored to call you a collaborator and a friend, and you gave me the opportunity and space for me to be seen, and I love you, too, bro, love you to death,” Jordan told Coogler. The two have worked together on Black Panther, Creed, and Fruitvale Station.

Turning his attention to the Black Oscar winners who came before him, he continued: “I stand here because of the people who came before me. To be amongst those giants, amongst those greats, amongst my ancestors, amongst my guys, thank you everybody in this room and everybody at home for supporting me over my career. I feel it.”

Jordan concluded: “Thank you for … betting on me, and I’m going to keep stepping up, and I’m going to keep being the best version of myself I can be.”

In addition to Michael B. Jordan, Ryan Coogler took home the award for original screenplay, while Director of Photography Autumn Durald Arkapaw won for cinematography. In doing so, she became the first woman to win the award. Ludwig Göransson also won best original score for his work on the film.

“By the way, to be very clear guys, everyone was like, ‘Check the judges. They’re white.’ All the judges were literally Hispanic. The judges were all Hispanic, by the way,” Ross said while reacting to the end of the match.

As for how the judges awarded the victory, Mario Perez Jr. gave rounds one and three to Supah Hot Fire, with round two going to Crusader. On the other hand, Manuel Marquez Jr. and Eliseo Rodriguez went with Crusader in the first two rounds and Supah Hot Fire in the third.

Fans on social media have been debating the result since the fight ended. “Gypsy crusader clearly won, not sure why adin Ross is acting like it was a robbery decision. Dude is tweaking out,” one user replied to Brand Risk sharing the official scorecard on X (formerly Twitter). “Gypsy pushed forward the whole fight, landed jabs, applied more pressure, and landed nice body shots. Supa legit only threw haymakers. They BOTH gassed out.” Another fan countered: “It was close but the reason why Gypsy loses is because he should have had a point deduction for the illegal pushdowns 3 times.”

Who Is Gypsy Crusader?

Gypsy Crusader is a former Muay Thai fighter who has become known as a livestreamer for his support of white supremacy and other far-right ideologies. He has gone viral for several highly controversial antics over the years.

Ross hosted the boxing match through his company, Brand Risk Promotions, which he launched back in 2024. “Unlike traditional fighting promotions, Brand Risk Promotions thrives on internet culture, memes, and the chaotic energy that made streaming platforms household names,” the company’s website reads. “Our events combine professional production value with the unpredictable nature of internet personalities, creating an experience unlike anything else in combat sports.”

Proof of that is a Twitter exchange from this morning with Ebro laughing off Akademiks’ pushback on smear campaign claims against Drake. The livestream clip, caught by Cousin Tino, hears the hip-hop insider discredit Charlamagne Tha God and Pusha T’s theories that Drake uses PR teams to control narratives about him while slamming others in the process.

Ebro found Ak’s request for evidence of this being true hilarious, particularly because the latter is almost always defending The Boy. “[Laughing emojis]…. Evidence?!?!? This guy is asking for evidence?”

Akademiks didn’t waste much time firing right back while trying to humble him in the process. “Respectfully Ebro… u never got smeared by nobody,” he begins. “U got fired cuz u suck at ur job of entertaining and laughed at because you acted like u were bigger than the program then had to fire up a broadcast in ur car. Sorry to tell u crodie…”

Do DJ Akademiks & Ebro Have Beef?

But the content creator didn’t stop there. “U got Ebro tryna act like maybe Drake got him fired. Na n**** u got fired cuz yall ran a ghetto morning show that got 723 views per episode. Yes ur employer doesn’t want dead weight on the payroll. Ya FIRED.”

For good measure, Akademiks hammered his point home about media members like Ebro “hating on Drake during the battle” and that being the only way they could draw an audience. “The simple truth is media guys now tryna blame Drake for their demise without acknowledging most ppl saw their peak as hating on Drake during the battle.” Ak concludes, “Once the battle faded .. it’s been 2 years btw.. yall became irrelevant and a 1 trick pony… Sorry.”

While the Hot 97 angle has been the center of their beef, Akademiks has been calling out Ebro for other things. Most recently, he put him on blast for his stubborn take on Lil Uzi Vert’s career. Ebro claimed he still hasn’t reached a high enough level, causing Ak to call him out for moving the goal post.

“I learned from watching these guys [referring to Ebro] what not to be… You can be like Ebro and think you’re bigger than the program. Or realize when you’re wrong… That’s what these n****s never did. They still have that gatekeeping mentality… You can’t divorce the idea of music and culture will always move on, and there’s always a new generation coming on. Always.”

In a clip from Deen’s Kick stream at the event caught by Akademiks TV, the fiery youngster gets up in Adam asking where his “five Gs” are. However, his attempt at intimidation isn’t effective as the podcast host sons him by wrapping his arm Deen’s neck.

“I’m mogging him on his stream,” Adam says to the camera. “That’s my little homie.” On top of that, the Plug Talk co-host claims to not have the bread on him, making things even more awkward for Deen.

While it seems the vibe was fairly playful here, deep down the boxer’s demands are legit. After an appearance on No Jumper, Deen went on stream and claimed that Adam didn’t pay him their agreed upon $5,000 fee for showing up.

However, there’s more context than Adam simply not paying up.

Why Do Deen The Great & Adam22 Have Beef?

There’s a reason for that because Deen made some pretty disrespectful comments about Adam’s relationship with his wife, adult film star Lena The Plug. After getting made fun of for getting beat up, Deen fired back by calling him out for letting his partner have sex with other men.

It’s been low-hanging fruit for a long time, but Deen’s roast in particular didn’t sit well with Adam. As a result, he booted the boxer out mid-interview. Deen didn’t waste any time leaving, dragging the host on the way out. “F*ck this podcast,” he said.

Advancing to this moment at Adin’s boxing event, it’s clear that the tension between these two has yet to officially die out. It’ll be interesting to see if Deen continues to press Adam for the $5,000 and if the latter refuses to comply.

Prosecutors originally alleged that she and Shaquile O’Neal Richards incited an exchange of gunfire that resulted in Johnson’s death. They claimed the two are leaders of the gang, 100% Third Ward. With the new arraignment, authorities have added a murder charge, accusing them of “knowingly and intentionally” murdering Johnson. Bloodbath is facing charges of murder in aid of racketeering and use of a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence resulting in death.

OMB Bloodbath’s First Trial Verdict

Bloodbath’s first trial began in January. At the time, the jury deliberated for two full days before deciding they couldn’t reach a unanimous verdict. Prosecutors alleged that four members or associates of 100% Third Ward opened fire on a member of their rival gang, Young Scott Block, on October 16, 2017. Johnson was killed as an innocent bystander caught in the line of fire. Years later, the Harris County District Attorney’s Office accused Nicks and Richards of allegedly instructing their gang to hunt down YSB members in retaliation as part of an ongoing war.

Bloodbath was arrested in the case back in 2023, alongside five other alleged members of the 100% Third Ward gang. At the time, U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani for the Southern District of Texas said in a press release: “To gang members and others infecting our streets with this type of crime – the power of the federal government is here. We will not stop. We will find you. No matter how long it takes, we will prosecute and ensure you pay the price for your actions. A priority of this office, every day, is for the Third Ward’s children to feel safe in their homes and on the streets from the terror of local gangs, and we will work with all partners and use all tools to make that priority a reality.”

While reacting to Lil Baby’s music video for “Mrs. Trendsetter,” he pauses the visual when a woman is doing her makeup on a livestream. Her setup, which includes a ring light and her iPhone, mimics a particular sector of short-form content creation.

The “get ready with me” or “GRWM” videos are very popular and usually show women preparing for the day. Usually, they show themselves doing their skincare routine, making their go-to breakfast, and etc.

This triggered Akademiks to make the joke that Lil Baby succeeds the most when he makes “GRWM” music.

“All the songs working for him right now are the songs [like that]… That’s where we’ve sent him. Over to H&M and Zara. That’s where it belongs,” he jokes.

While he believes that he’s fallen off, he does half-jokingly give him credit for making this kind of music well. “At least he’s understanding and realizing the time, man.”

DJ Akademiks & Lil Baby’s Beef

The clip ends with the independent hip-hop reporter telling “Lil Bebe” to leave the “gangster sh*t to Gunna.” Of course, given Baby’s unwavering ties to Young Thug despite him and Gunna’s rich history of their own, that hits a lot harder.

Ak has also been Team Wunna as well for some time, making that point crystal clear recently. While reacting to a video of Baby and Thug riding around in a car together, he made it a point to let the “Dum, Dumb, and Dumber” collaborators know that they don’t have the juice like their rival.

“Am I expecting some heat from these two? I’mma be honest with y’all, no. I know some of y’all think I’m just gonna be hating. No, I’m gonna call a spade a spade,” Akademiks said responding to collaboration rumors swirling these two MCs. “This is two ice cubes linking up together, man. They might as well be in the freezer together. That’s a fact.”

He continued, “They better be driving to Gunna’s crib. They better put in the GPS, ‘Gunna Wunna’s crib.’ Straight up. […] This is damn near the ice bucket challenge. Y’all might as well just go to Gunna’s crib. Gunna got the sauce, I’m sorry.”

If you have been following along as of late, you would know that DJ Akademiks and Maino have been going back and forth. Akademiks has made some pointed comments on his streams. Meanwhile, Maino has been on his podcast, clapping back at anyone who has something to say.

Last night, DJ Akademiks was on his live stream, where he was catching up on the news. He also caught up on some of the feuds he is involved in. Of course, this led to his discovery that Maino had dissed him on a new track. At the time, “The Algorithm” was just a snippet, so Ak played it for his audience. In the end, he was left unimpressed.

DJ Akademiks Responds To Maino

While Ak acknowledges that Maino can talk a lot of smack, he also claims that the artist just needs to quit rapping altogether. It was a flippant comment, and one that is certainly going to come across as disrespectful to a lot of people. Of course, Maino will be the one taking the most offense to all of this.

Quite frankly, Maino’s diss track against 50 Cent from last week hasn’t packed all that much of a punch. It appears as though the fans just really don’t care all that much. Perhaps there is some fatigue, as it feels like 50 is beefing with everyone. Even Papoose’s 50 Cent diss track didn’t have the impact some assumed.

Whether or not Maino will continue to deliver diss tracks against Akademiks and others, is something will be answered in due time. However, given how these tracks have largely flopped, one could assume that it is time to just throw in the towel.
