DJ Akademiks, the popular internet personality and media mogul, has recently ignited controversy with his remarks directed at a 15-year-old boy during a Twitch livestream. The incident, which caught the attention of many, prompted criticism regarding the appropriateness of his comments and raised concerns among parents and advocates. Akademiks reportedly said the boy was a ‘white boy’ who was ‘groomed’ and made a number of sexualized comments that many found disturbing. Following the backlash, his comments drew ire from several, including Meek Mill’s parents, who took to social media expressing their disappointment and concern over the incident. Meek Mill’s father, who was vocal in his condemnation, stated, ‘No man, especially a public figure, should speak to a teenager in that manner.’ The reaction online has been swift, with many emphasizing the need for accountability among public figures in their influence on youth. The discussion has also opened up a larger dialogue regarding the responsibilities of influencers and the protection of minors in social media environments. DJ Akademiks has since responded, stating he was unaware of the boy’s age at the time of the remarks and did not intend to offend. However, the damage appears to have been done, as calls for boycotting his platforms have started circulating.
