DJ Akademiks is someone who has gotten into petty feuds with a whole lot of people over the years. Overall, it is easy to see why this would be the case. He is a content creator who speaks freely on a plethora of topics. When you are opinionated, people will take issue with that. Furthermore, when you take the clapbacks personally, well, that is how beef starts. We have seen Ak go toe-to-toe with countless people over the years. He has even had some smoke for the world's biggest legends.
For instance, Akademiks recently found himself at odds with the likes of Erykah Badu. During an iconic appearance on Everyday Struggle, Badu likened Akademiks to Jerry the mouse from Tom & Jerry. This subsequently led to numerous memes and some hilarious edits. Years later, Akademiks fired back on Badu in a pretty brutal way. He did so on one of his late-night streams and it led to a few headlines. Recently, Akademiks spoke about the feud with VladTV and offered insight into the origins of the beef.
