Quavo & DJ Akademiks Go Back & Forth Following Migos Criticism

DJ Akademiks Clarifies Migos Comments: “I Critique For Them To Elevate

Things haven’t been the same between DJ Akademiks and the Migos since that infamous moment on the BET Awards Red Carpet a few years back. But, that hasn’t stopped AK from speaking well of the group, as he often emphasize they’re his best group.

However, he does believe that the group has lost their prominence in the streets. On the latest episode of Everyday Struggle, Akademiks and Wayno discussed the group’s ascent to mainstream acclaim with the former predicting they’ll lose all relevance if they don’t drop before the end of the year.

“With the Migos, they were a street rap group. We’re used to these mothafuckas in the bandos, this, that and the third. All of a sudden, these n***as, they’re already in the Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills. They look like they’ve lost their street presence. The street essence,” AK said.

“We’re seeing Quavo. He looks super happy, in love. The music isn’t even matching what he has going on,” he continued, suggesting that hip-hop is the only genre that dictates relevancy by lifestyle.

Akademiks added that nothing they’ve released in recent times have resonated with the streets like they used to. Wayno added that the collab with NBA Youngboy was dope, though they haven’t really kept up with the times.

There was some fair assessment throughout the discussion, using the recent headlines as context as to why the group has faced a decline.

In a since-deleted tweet, Quavo called out Akademiks and offered to play him new music from the Migos. He also added that Akademiks should keep Saweetie’s name out of his mouth after all.

“@Akademiks Pull Up And Chop IT up Like a man I promise I ain gon hit you!!!! Jus wanna play u these new MIGOS records since u think shit sweet,” he wrote. “And stop bashin my girls she’s a Female but if I tell her to go in yo shit SHE WOULD so watch the trash word internet girl.”

Akademiks caught up with the post and also took some time to explain why he’s so critical of the Migos, divulging once again that they’re his favorite group.

“Btw I love Quavo, Takeoff and Offset. I critique for them to elevate .. certainly not hate,” wrote Ak on Twitter. “Been a fan of them for a long time. Being a fan tho is sometimes challenging the artists you love.”
