DJ Akademiks Mocks Ab-Soul’s Legal Blindness After Rapper Disses Him in New Track
DJ Akademiks has once again found himself at the center of controversy after mocking rapper Ab-Soul’s legal blindness during a recent livestream. The inflammatory remarks came shortly after Akademiks discovered that the TDE lyricist had dissed him on a newly released track.
In a viral clip circulating on social media, Akademiks can be heard saying:
“Usually when ns attack me they go fat jokes first. I’m like he don’t even go fat jokes. This a new angle. Come to find out this btch ass na can’t even see. He don’t know what I look like. In his f*cking brain, I’m a stick figure.”
The statement sparked an immediate reaction online, with fans and critics weighing in across platforms. While many condemned Akademiks for his insensitive comments, others found humor in his response, further fueling the viral moment.
“Say what you want about Akademiks, but he’s absolutely one of the most hilarious streamers of all time,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another joked, “All Ab-Soul gotta do is send Saucy Santana after him and he gon cry on stream again,” referencing a past emotional moment from the controversial media personality.
The tension stems from a diss track Ab-Soul released via Instagram on Tuesday, where he directly called out Akademiks amid his lyrical back-and-forth with Joey Bada$$. In the untitled track, Soul raps, “Imma slap Akademiks when I see him,” continuing the growing list of grievances tied to his response to Joey’s earlier provocations.
Joey Bada$$ sparked the feud earlier this year with his song “The Ruler’s Back,” which many took as a jab at the entire West Coast rap scene. “Too much West Coast dck lickin’ / I’m hearin’ n**s throwin’ rocks, really ain’t sht stickin’,” Joey rapped, igniting responses from multiple California artists.
In addition to Ab-Soul, artists like Ray Vaughn, Daylyt, and AZ Chike have all stepped into the ring with their own diss tracks aimed at the Brooklyn rapper. Soul’s response also included nods to the late Capital STEEZ, as well as a possible hint at a Black Hippy reunion—a tantalizing tease for longtime fans.
Akademiks didn’t stop at mocking Soul’s condition. He escalated tensions with another post on X, writing:
“Sounds amazing. Just remind that na they won’t throw a funeral for him like Nipsey. Keep rapping lil na we ain’t see u slap nothing yet.”
The post drew backlash for appearing to diminish the legacy of the late Nipsey Hussle while dragging Ab-Soul into a broader cultural comparison.
As the drama continues to unfold across social media and the rap world, many fans are left wondering whether this feud will escalate further—or if it will stay confined to diss tracks and livestream rants.
With both Akademiks and Ab-Soul known for their strong opinions and unfiltered delivery, it’s safe to say this is one beef that won’t be squashed quietly.
