Ak never had pull, he knows how labels play games with record sales. Even he says that which is why he always says he plays the long game. When he was beefing YB he couldn’t play that game because YB has a real cult fanbase. He’s not a label baby
Akademiks going a too hard on his anti-lil baby narrative at this point. Based on the numbers it was never factual but there was a small moment in time where he could spin certain things to make it sound viable. At this point tho dude is consistently doing damn near 100M streams a week and has a current top 40 record. U can’t argue with that.

The problem is these goofs think it’s about winning and losing, this is not a sport it’s real life. Eveybody knows AK sensationalizes Black Death, Meek is correct on that
🚨 Ray Daniels says Meek Mill is fighting a battle he CANNOT win with Akademiks and argues this beef is exposing a bigger shift in hip-hop: podcasters now have more power than rappers do
Ray says Meek could get his own version of Ak to fight back, but even then that person would eventually still have to deal with Akademiks.
He also rejects the idea that Ak is a dickrider:
“You can’t say that about Ak… he’ll tell you how he feels straight up about whoever.”
“Ak is the audience. Meek is on stage.”
Ray says a rapper can spend months making and promoting an album, while Ak can talk for two hours and have clips spread everywhere almost instantly.
“Meek cannot beat Ak.”
“I think the podcasts have killed rap music.”

He is wrong because rappers like Jay, biggie , Travis Scott , Kendrick are not viewed as sex symbols have amazing careers.

This is the baby money era, the only way a boxer with his particular style can be a PPV star is to embrace the villain role

I hear you but let’s not act like Akademiks is innocent, he made his money off of black trauma and instigating it.
Dumb rappers are mad at Akademiks for using their stupid behaviors to create content & get rich.
He inspired a large percentage of the next generation of young Black men to be creators & streamers, instead of dumb violent crashouts in the street.
He’s a better man than them.

This comment section is hilarious, if a black athlete said these comments y’all would scrutinize him . Typical lol
Nikola Jokić says he’s had enough of fans approaching him in public and wants to be left alone 👀
“I'm getting more and more bothered by popularity. This is going to sound corny, but, I'm getting ruder to people who approach me. Honestly, it's tiring…Some people around me know, I don't take pictures because it's my time. I'll sound rude again, but what can I do? If people can't understand me, I understand everything, but it's been 11-12 years and enough is enough.”
