“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.

The first drop went through SNKRS, Class Trip, and Atlanta stores. Some of the biggest pieces sold out right away, including the $1,200 Destroyer jacket.

Class Trip’s own listings give a better look at the lower prices. The crown snapback costs $50, and the “Ms. Jackson” tee costs $60. The football jersey costs $145, and the hoodie costs $180. That gives fans a few ways in without chasing the jacket.

The collection is built around the style of Andre 3000 and Big Boi. The Georgia “G” carries Outkast’s crown, and the jerseys use “96” to honor the year ATLiens dropped. The group’s “Roses” video also helped shape the look.

Class Trip’s founder, Brian Francis, has said the project began at lunch with Andre, who shared memories of visiting Athens. Class Trip’s creative director, Jon Tietz, said the goal was to make something that feels as timeless as the group’s music.

Overall, this wider release gives more fans a real chance to grab a piece.

Nike x Georgia x Outkast Collection

On October 2nd, the group also launched a Waffle House collaboration through its own website. That collection turned a line from Big Boi’s “So Fresh, So Clean” verse into a Waffle House marquee. It connected the group’s music with a familiar part of Southern life.

Both projects show how much Outkast still means to Atlanta. The group’s music helped define the city’s sound and style for decades.

Their legacy keeps growing, too. Outkast joined the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2025, with Donald Glover serving as their inductor. They also remain one of the few hip-hop acts to win the Grammy for Album of the Year.

The Georgia collection fits right into that story. It mixes music, football, and fashion, which is exactly what the group has always done. Overall, the rollout is a great moment for Atlanta and Georgia fans alike. If the early sell-outs are any sign, this collection will stay in demand.

Akademiks clapped back, calling Sneako a “c*ck” who uses his religion as a shield for real criticism. The entire exchange between these two was ugly, and there is no denying that onlookers were stunned by the language used.

In the aftermath of the stream, Akademiks TV has been posting doctored photos of Sneako with captions that are allegedly filled with fake information. Now, Sneako is threatening legal action if it continues.

“Some of these pictures too bro, I was 17 years old,” Sneako said. “Some of these are leaked snapchats sent to a girl. All the captions are false. Some are AI. Best believe, I’m escalating it now, it’s going to cost a lot of money.”

Sneako Aims At DJ Akademiks

Sneako’s comments here just go to show how dire things have gotten between him and Akademiks over the past week. Moreover, the streamer stated that he feels Akademiks lost the debate and is now trying to save face by sicking his minions on him.

Of course, this is all alleged. While Akademiks is affiliated with the person who runs Akademiks TV, Ak has stated in the past that he lets the man do as he pleases. This has allowed Akademiks to distance himself from some of the stances that are taken on the page.

Either way, the streamer drama never dies and this is yet another example of it.

A social media creator, @grizzyhendrixthegod, came out to slam Chris Brown over his pattern of violence, claiming the singer is an “idiot.” 

“He has all the b*tches, all the money in the world, and he’s beating up n***as with a f*cking bottle across the head,” the person said. “Why is this n***a still trying to be a f**cking tough guy? You should have security guards beating the breaks off n***as, not you! You making mad money, you’re the money bag… You should be sitting back like a boss, not still trying to be f*cking Chris Pop.”

The video started to circulate, eventually going viral enough to catch Chris Brown’s attention. With minimal words, he made it clear that he wasn’t going to tolerate people disrespecting him online. “Don’t be next,” Chris commented under the video.

Chris Brown Vs. The Internet

Ultimately, Grizzy Hendrix doubled down on the criticism toward Chris Brown while acknowledging the output throughout his career. “You still a legend n***a but take it easy Chris Pac,” he wrote. 

Chris Brown pleaded guilty to affray earlier this month while the more serious charges of assault and attempting to cause grievous bodily harm were dropped. The charges stem from an incident at a nightclub in 2023 where Chris Brown and his vocal coach Omololu Akinlolu attacked music producer Abraham Diaw. Video of the assault circulated shortly after his sentencing.

Check out Chris Brown’s comments above and sound off with your thoughts in the comment section below.

For one, Dash said that Beyoncé is a guaranteed guest during the performance. However, if Hov tries to bring Dame up, he will unequivocally refuse.

“I’m not going. Don’t even call me for the Super Bowl. I’m not going. I don’t have any desire for that,” he said. “When Dr. Dre and them came out, they brought out the whole team. So him just coming out there without the team and it could not be so good, and–how many times can you bring Beyoncé out? Like how many guests that have nothing to do with your lineage, like how could they resonate.”

Dame also explained how a Super Bowl show can also be a make-or-break moment if Hov’s performance isn’t mind-blowing.

Dame Dash On Halftime Show

However, his criticism of JAŸ-Z also surrounds the optics of having to go on stage these days. As some predict that Kanye West might join him on stage, Dash pointed out that Ye and Jay have been performing concerts on the same day as each other. The Roc-A-Fella cofounder said that Ye has been accomplishing global stadium concerts without the corporate backing and receiving major applause from his audience, while Hov’s concerts lack the same enthusiasm.

We’ll have to see what ends up happening on the Halftime Show stage in 2027 but we’re sure that JAŸ will use his resources to bring out some impressive guests. Who do you want to see JAŸ-Z bring out at the Super Bowl next year? Let us know in the comment section below.

El-Sayed is the Democrat and is currently leading in the polls. After campaigning with Hasan Piker and Barack Obama, El-Sayed has proven to be a unifier between progressives and moderates.

That said, 42 Dugg likes El-Sayed’s odds, and told his X followers that because of high voter turnout, he expects the candidate to win.

“I’ve been studying the polls lately and it looking like to me that El-Sayed has a clear shot for senate. voter turnout expected to be high & i be using AI to give me this lock,who yall got money on sayed or rogers,” Dugg wrote.

42 Dugg Offers Political Analysis

Unfortunately, the rapper’s post was not met with positivity. Instead, fans were completely appalled that he would be spending his money this way. In fact, there were a plethora of comments urging him to “Call the hotline.”

This is a popular online phrase used when someone clearly has a gambling issue that is out of control. When someone is betting on something incredibly niche, then some feel as though that person is too far gone. It’s also been stated time and time again that brands like Kalshi are creating gambling addicts every single day.

Whether or not 42 Dugg actually has a gambling addiction is not for us to decide. However, there is no denying that this is pretty concerning nonetheless.

If you are struggling with gambling addiction, call 1-800-GAMBLER.

In a joint discovery statement, TDE and executives Tiffith, Tiffith Jr., and Harrell accused Luna and Altayri of withholding communications and destroying potentially relevant evidence. The defendants are preparing a motion for sanctions that could include dismissal of the lawsuit.

According to the filing, forensic examinations of Luna’s phone and laptop allegedly revealed missing messages with Tiffith and his son, Anthony. The defendants claim the deleted exchanges included flirtatious conversations that could support their arguments regarding consent and credibility.

The defendants cited specific examples from the alleged exchange including one where Luna responded to Tiffith’s message that read, “Imma set that up” with “I’m strict Dickly,” a reference to J. Cole’s verse on Cash Cobain’s “Grippy.” The filing also references an Instagram DM discussing “morning sex” and a comment Luna allegedly left on Tiffith’s photo that called him a “fine piece a specimen with these tight ass arms.”

Top Dawg Entertainment Lawsuit Update

However, the plaintiffs dispute the defendants’ characterization of the missing evidence. Their response points to messages allegedly found in a photograph of Tiffith’s phone that were absent from his data export. The messages included sexually suggestive comments about Luna, including those that read, “Linda gotta fat ass,” “She said come rub on it [tears of joy emoji],” and “Don’t play I’ll come massage that round mf.”

The defendants also accuse Altayri of failing to produce a journal she allegedly said supported her claims, as well as agreeing to delete her Clubhouse profile after Luna suggested doing so. Altayri has maintained that the journal was lost during a move and that the profile had already been deleted.

Luna and Altayri sued the defendants over claims of sexual battery, harassment, and other misconduct. We will keep you posted on any further updates.

In fact, Akademiks was on stream recently, where he revealed that Drake’s spending is almost getting out of control. He saw this firsthand at the party, claiming Drake had spent upwards of $400K at the club.

Furthermore, he thinks the entirety of the birthday celebrations cost $1.5 million. He then said that Drake spent $500K on a gift for Lena The Plug and another $200K on a gift for Sexyy Red.

The commentator then tallied up the alleged money spent on Air Drake and the ICEMAN promo, which he believes totals upwards of $12 million.

DJ Akademiks On Drake’s Spending

“I’ve never seen money spent like this,” Akademiks exclaimed. He then said that while hip-hop media has paid him some good money over the years, he may just have to start rapping soon.

Drake is one of the biggest artists in the world. He has some of the most hits of any artist in the history of music. That said, none of this should come as a surprise to anyone. The man is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and it allows him to engage in this lifestyle.

Whether or not Drake has a spending issue is not for any of us to decide. As long as he’s got the means to do it, the artist can do as he pleases.

Just about a month ago, Blueface and Chrisean Rock got back together after the former kicked Nevaeh out of his home. Chrisean moved in, and the two began streaming together on a consistent basis. Eventually, the two got engaged, and it seemed like a happy ending may finally be on the horizon.

However, last week, they got into a fight on stream, and this led to the couple breaking up. Now, Nevaeh is back in Blueface’s home, and the love triangle/square/pentagon continues.

In a recent video posted to social media, Chrisean Rock made the claim that she and Blueface actually got married. It’s unclear when or how they tied the knot, but Rock says it did, in fact take place.

As for the status of their relationship, Chrisean is adamant that they are no longer together, and it is going to have to stay that way. “Will I be dealing with him because he’s my child’s father? Yes,” she said. “Do I put up with any of that? No.”

Chrisean is now gearing up for her next boxing match, which is set to go down on November 20. At this time, an opponent has not been named. However, the reality TV star appears to be making a real go of the professional boxing scene.

As for Blueface, he remains one of Kick’s top creators.
