DJ Akademiks and ATL Jacob get into a heated back-and-forth on social media that leads to Ak warning Future to blame Jacob if any dirt spills on his name.
DJ Akademiks and ATL Jacob Beef Erupts
On Tuesday (Oct. 8), the Atlanta producer called out Ak out for previously commenting that producers shouldn’t have opinions.
“Aye lil bruh @Akademiks u sound dumb as hell,” Jacob tweeted. “Ni**a said ‘u can’t have an opinion cause u a producer’ what u think got me here? I got a opinion about every song i work on.”
In a follow-up tweet he added, Ni**as forget .. the producer just as important as the artist .. what ni**as gon rap on if every producer woke up and decided they deserved more points and bonuses and said no beats til they get it…Ni**a got DJ in his name and talk the most shit .. shut up fat f*k ni**a.”
After getting wind of Jacob’s posts, Ak fired back on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“You heard what I said ni**a STFU and make some drums if u gon back peddle every single time u speak out the side of ur mouth and get checked,” the popular streamer retorted.
After Jacob offered to shoot a fair one, Ak reminded the beat maker that he previously appeared on Ak’s podcast and didn’t have the same energy. He also insinuated Jacob gave him dirt on Future, off the record.
“You got amnesia or you just f*cking ret**ded,” Ak responded. “Why U aint ask WHy I aint a DJ when You traveled 1000 miles from Atlanta to New jersey to sit infront of me like a lil boy interviewing for a job.. gossipping bout future n them ni**as tryna impress me?”
Jacob denied Ak’s claims and the vitriol continued.
Following their spat on X, Ak called Jacob during a livestream, and the argument continued. The popular streamer then asked ATL Jacob if a woman had ever accused Future of battery and sexual assault. The allegation had not been reported anywhere before Akademiks brought it up, and there has been no previous public discussion of anything like it happening.
After laughing off the unfounded claims, ATL Jacob dismissed the baseless allegations with a simple, “Nope. Never happened.” The producer soon hung up on Ak, clearly not taking the accusations seriously.
Ak continued talking after the conversation ended and issued a stark warning to Future: “Anything that comes out about you in the next six months related to any of these things, Future, ATL Jacob set you up for this.”
