Meek Mill has reacted to DJ Akademik’s Twitch ban and has no words of comfort for him. Mill took to social media to ask parents to watch their kids around his longtime foe and save them from being groomed. The DJ was recently banned from Twitch, which might be permanent. Although his team has provided a reason for the ban, many netizens don’t believe them, as the indefinite suspension coincides with a disturbing incident.
Meek Mill Reacts To DJ Akademiks Twitch Ban
Meek Mill is one of the many people who have reacted to DJ Akademiks Twitch ban. The rapper took to X, formerly Twitter, to share his thoughts on the streaming platform ban imposed on his foe.
“He gone be drinking tonight screaming at kids from some other portal lol,” Meek wrote on the social media platform on Tuesday, January 28.
He added:
“These guys lives be terrible ‘NEVER FOLLOW THE HEATHENS.'”
Before his Tuesday post, Mill had addressed DJ Akademiks’ inappropriate behavior in a tweet.
He wrote:
“If [you’re] a parent go get ya kids phone and block this man, he’s grooming children with a very large platform that ‘kids’ like… also attempts to ruin black families and black success daily, ‘VILLAN IN THE VILLAGE.'”
The All Eyes On You rapper also included a screenshot of him on the verge of blocking DJ Akademiks on X.
DJ Akademiks’ Twitch Account Banned
Meek Mill’s initial post followed the release of a clip revealing DJ Akademiks’ inappropriate conversation with an underage user. Two days later, on January 28, fans noticed that the live streamer’s Twitch account was no longer loading. Those who tried to access it got a message reading, “Sorry. Unless you’ve got a time machine, that content is unavailable,” pops up when trying to access the streamer’s page. After the news went viral online, the Akademiks TV account confirmed the incident.
They claimed that the ban happened because he called another permanently banned user, Adin Ross, on stream to confirm a donation.
“Akademiks temporarily banned on twitch for calling Adin Ross (who is permanently banned on twitch) on stream to confirm if he donated $10,000 to Kendrick Lamar cousin parents who needed hospital beds and a new wheelchair,” they explained.
Why DJ Akademiks’ Twitch Was Banned
However, netizens didn’t believe the explanation offered by the Akademiks TV account. They connected his Twitch ban with the recent grooming controversies that have plagued him. The grooming allegations involve DJ Akademiks’s conversion with Nour, a 15-year-old streamer. The podcast host could be heard telling the streamer in the released clip:
“You’re telling me there’s not another 15-year-old you could buss down?”
He also asked if the boy was ready to have sex. The internet personality also admitted his culpability in the grooming incident. He told fans on social media:
“I’ve done a lot of bulls**t up in this game. Trust me. I’ve got mine off. This issue aside – which, again. I am wrong. I will be better. This is a teachable moment. For me, obviously, I got to watch my speech. That’s clear. […] Definitely a regrettable moment, and we’re going to use it as a teachable moment. Because I don’t think I’ve came this far, built this platform, to be that irresponsible, right?”
DJ Akademiks has said he would work with Twitch to resolve the ban on his account. Meanwhile, netizens have continued questioning him about his actions, and some have shared screenshots showing that the ban is permanent. Hopefully, social media platforms continue to take action to protect children, and DJ Akademiks will reflect on his actions.
