Multiple HBCUs UAPB, Alabama State, Southern University and Mississippi Mass playing Drake’s hit “Janice.” STFU 😂 The culture is feeling him, I might say. ✌🏾🏈🔥🔥🔥
Jay Z LOST his defamation lawsuit against Tony Buzbee, for the SECOND time!
Jay Z was accused of R@PING a 13 year old child, and the judge thinks the victim and Buzbee are TELLING THE TRUTH! The victim and Tony Buzbee BOTH said Jay Z is harassing them, and HAVE PROOF!
As sad as it sounds, when we tell the full story of what happened around Lil Durk, Akademiks’ hands are not clean in the cultural sense.
I’m not saying Ak caused Durk’s case. Durk has to answer for every decision Durk made.
But we cannot minimize the role of a man who spent years amplifying Tekashi 6ix9ine trolling this man over his dead friend, pushing “slide for Von,” turning real blood, real grief and real pressure into content — then later sitting across from Durk like none of that atmosphere mattered.
And I fault Durk for sitting with him too.
I remember Durk basically telling Ak, I respect that you don’t pick sides.
That was the mistake.
Because when people are actually dying, giving everybody a microphone isn’t always neutrality. Sometimes you’re just giving the fire more oxygen.
And this is what bothers me most about Akademiks: the playing dumb.
This is an educated man. He understands context clues. He understands what certain questions mean. He understands what certain headlines, conversations and narratives are doing.
So when he suddenly becomes confused inside these interviews — “What do you mean?” “How?” “Why?” — I don’t buy it.
You can’t be smart enough to build the machine, then act too dumb to understand what the machine is doing.
I don’t give these gentlemen much energy because sometimes attention is an energy transfer, and every trade ain’t profitable.
But I’m going deeper on this next episode.
Go listen to It’s Up There Podcast because I’ve been talking about this before it became fashionable to talk about it.
There’s a difference between reporting on the fire and making a living keeping the fire hot.
THESE LAST WELL KNOWN CASES THAT HAVE WENT TO TRIAL PODCAST INTERVIEWS HAVE BEEN USED AS CRITICAL EVIDENCE TO TRY N CONVICT THE DEFENDENTS‼️WATCH WHAT U SAY ON THESE PODCAST‼️DONT AWNSER A QUESTION THAT U KNOW CAN JEOPARDIZE YOUR FREEDOM ‼️I THINK ITS MORE DAMAGING THAN THE MUSIC
“The case was a skunk from the beginning that I knew eventually would be tossed because it never had merit,” Buzbee said. “The entire effort was nothing but an effort to twist facts and distort the truth. We now will seek to force the plaintiff to pay every penny of our legal expenses and costs and I expect we will win that as well.”
Jay-Z has now been ordered to pay Tony Buzbee’s costs on appeal after a California appeals court affirmed Buzbee’s anti-SLAPP victory in full
Despite being over $110 million in debt, his mother-in-law having to sell contaminated gumbo, his 30th anniversary being under sales and flopping, and his wife’s B-Day anniversary flopping as well, it looks like the Carter family is about to be even deeper in debt
Owner of NBA YoungBoy’s Lamborghini claims YB rented his car to shoot a music video at Grave Digger Mountain, broke it, and left it on top of the mountain:
“I spared some other details because I don’t want to get murdered over this.”

All that tour money, only to have Tony Buzbee’s legal costs added to the bill. That has to sting. Probably why his greedy wife resorted to selling empty wooden boxes for $1K? The bills are clearly not going to pay themselves.🥶
This Akademiks situation is actually WILD when you really think about it.
The federal government just showed you that they are watching this content. An interview from YOUR platform literally became evidence in Lil Durk’s federal trial.
And somehow the lesson Akademiks seems to have taken from that is to keep bringing young Black rappers who are connected to very real street conflicts in front of him and asking them increasingly police-style questions about who did what, who knew what and who may have been involved in what.
That’s the part I can’t understand.
When you sat across from Yungeen Ace asking questions surrounding Foolio’s death, did it ever register that the same federal government studying Durk’s interviews could one day be studying yours?
At what point does the chase for the viral moment make you lose sight of what’s actually happening around you?
Ak thinks he’s covering the investigation.
Meanwhile, his own CONTENT is being investigated for answers.
There is a difference between documenting the culture and constantly putting young Black men in a chair and trying to get them to explain active street situations for entertainment.
The government has already shown everybody they’re watching.
The question is: who is paying attention?
