In the ever-entertaining world of hip-hop, it’s not just the music that makes the headlines; it’s the ongoing feuds and fiery exchanges too. DJ Akademiks recently seized the spotlight, and let me tell you, he wasn’t holding back! On a lively Monday, our favorite commentator dove into discussions surrounding some big names—Drake, Joe Budden, and the ever-controversial 50 Cent. But it was his roast of Meek Mill that really turned heads! Picture this: Akademiks firing up his commentary machine and, within moments, questioning Meek’s intelligence with a challenge that sounded straight out of a comedy sketch—a spelling bee for $10 million?! I mean, who doesn’t love a good spectacle? Now, as Akademiks unleashes a barrage of relentless jabs—and don’t worry, he threw in plenty of heat about taxes too—the question looms large: is it just playful banter, or is this feud brewing toward something more explosive? Buckle up, folks!
DJ Akademiks had a lot to cover on Monday. The rapper discussed Drake, of course. He also gave his thoughts on the Joe Budden vs. 50 Cent battle. It was when the streamer turned his attention towards Meek Mill, though, that he seemed most entertained. DJ Akademiks read some of Meek’s tweets on the topic of taxes, and couldn’t help himself. In the span of a minute, Ak brutally insulted Meek’s intelligence and even offered to pay him millions of dollars if he could prove otherwise.
DJ Akademiks did not waste any time getting into it. He pulled up Meek Mill’s Twitter feed and went right in before even reading. “He’s one of the dumbest celebrities I’ve ever seen,” Ak said. “I honestly feel this. It’s not ‘cuse I dislike him. [Meek’s] one of the dumbest human beings to ever live.” The streamer was so convinced of the rapper’s intellect that he challenged him. He told Meek that he would pay $10 million if he could beat him in a spelling bee contest. “Me and Meek Mill in a spelling bee,” he said. “Whoever wins I will transfer $10 million of my money to him.”
DJ Akademiks managed to sneak in an extra insult. He said that if he wins the spelling bee, then Meek Mill has to pay him $10 million. If he has that much in his bank account, that is. “I don’t know if he got 10,” Ak remarked. “I’ll take whatever he got.” The streamer grew so frustrated talking about Meek that he had even more metrics by which to gauge his alleged lack of intelligence. “If Meek was around when slavery existed,” Ak added. “After we got free, his dumb a*s would have brought us back to slavery.” Ak has had it out for Meek since 2017, when Meek accused the former of not promoting his album.
Akademiks’ comments about Meek are especially cruel, given the rapper complained about having to pay $2.8 million in taxes in the aforementioned tweets. Meek claimed that the IRS demanded $2.8 million for the year 2013, despite the fact the rapper made only $2 million. He asked users if there was anything he could do. Meek has also complained about label deals in the past. He told the same Twitter following in 2021 that he hasn’t made nearly as much as he should have due to bad contracts.
