AceShowbiz - DJ Akademiks wants everyone to know that he's not the one to be messing with. Responding to a rape lawsuit leveled at him, the media personality insisted that he's innocent and threatened to bring down the rap industry.
During a livestream, Ak alleged that the suit is an effort by Roc Nation and Abashe's lawyer, Tyrone Blackburn, to take him down. For the record, the blogger has criticized Tyrone in the past, who is also representing Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones in his explosive sexual assault lawsuit against Sean "P. Diddy" Combs.
Back in April, Billboard reported that Judge Denise Cote criticized Tyrone for his history of filing lawsuits designed to "garner media attention" and "embarrass defendants." Upon hearing the news, Ak called out the lawyer publicly, doubting Lil Rod's claims against Diddy.
Now in his livestream, the YouTuber declared, "Let me tell you this about everyone in the industry: if Ak ever goes down, y'all going down with me. 'Cause I hold no secrets for nobody." He went on to state, "Could it be that the exact next day I get hit up by a private investigator that works for Diddy alleging that maybe the same thing has happened in five other instances?"
Ak believed that Roc Nation is trying to get him due to his attacks against Megan Thee Stallion in defense of Tory Lanez, who has been incarcerated for shooting the Houston Hottie in the foot. He also implied that the case has something to do with his role reporting on the feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
"Here's the thing, that case went dry. It went cold. We're now talking about Kendrick [Lamar] and Drake," he speculated. "Could it be that Akademiks could also be the main media source between the two biggest rappers going at it? Could it be?"
