DJ Akademiks Slams Kardashians Over Alleged Family Rift With Kanye West

Honk Magazine

DJ Akademiks has gone on yet another rant on livestream but this time, it’s directed at the Kardashian family. The media personality’s rant came following an interview she conducted with Kanye West, in which the rapper and businessman spoke on his continued trials and tribulations of dealing with family dynamics, including former wife, Kim Kardashian. Kanye believes his children are being kept away from him, and sources claim that Kim’s family is influencing her. Never one to bite his tongue, Akademiks pulled even fewer punches during his latest livestream by speaking out in defense of Kanye and arguing that he has a right to be a father after feeling that the Kardashian-Jenners have been using him and controlling him.

“I rebuke y’all Kim K and motherf*king Kris Jenner, in the name of Jesus,” Academiks passionately proclaimed. He then bashed their influence, alleging that they’re trying to distance Kanye from his children in an unfair and unhealthy manner. The media mogul turned commentator wasn’t finished there. He fumed at what he deemed the Kardashian family’s plot to compromise the well-being of the West children by drawing them into a toxic world. “Y’all white heathens should not be able to raise another Black man’s child,” Akademiks went on, saying that the Kardashians were “stealing the innocence of children,” whom he said were being exposed to “demonic debauchery.” It’s no secret Kanye has struggled personally with things, especially after his public divorce from Kim Kardashian.

But his remarks about his children have only served to stoke the simmering tensions between him and his ex-wife’s family. Many fans have defended kanye, and I myself am a kanye fan, backing kanye in his decisions on being a good dad, some are annoyed at how public kanye is with his rants. In his impassioned appeal, Akademiks stated that Kanye has the right to raise his kids however he wants. “He should be able to parent his children and mentor them as a father and as a good, positive influence on the Black community and a strong Black man,” he argued, positioning himself as a strong ally to Kanye in this public family feud. DJ Akademiks isn’t holding his tongue when siding with Kanye West as the saga unfolds.

Meek Mill Draws Mixed Reactions With Drill Take on Nico & Vinz’s “Am I Wrong”

Meek Mill has released a couple of songs that leaked online recently, giving fans a proper way to hear the tracks after they popped up over the weekend. “Philly Heathens” has been praised for its attention to street culture and youth affected by violence, but his other new album, “Am I Wrong,” has received a much more divided response.

“Philly Heathens” has been praised for its lyrics about street culture and the young people who get caught up in violence. “Am I Wrong,” however, takes a vastly different approach, remixing the song of the same name by Nico & Vinz as a drill centric interpolation.

“Am I Wrong” is now 12 years old, and its connection to the EDM sound of the time makes it especially recognizable to those who grew up with it. So Meek’s take is built on a familiar musical reference, but the response has been far from universally complimentary. A lot of the criticism has been directed at the hook. The production has also been called dated, but the track was leaked, which may explain its sound. But the strongest reactions have focused on Meek’s chorus vocals.

Some of the responses have been good, though. Some listeners felt the track was a throwback to the blog era, while others thought the criticism targeted almost entirely the hook, not the song as a whole. One Reddit commenter wrote that the track was good, but the chorus was bad, suggesting that Meek’s performance on the rest of the song was better than the reception to the hook may suggest.

The different reactions demonstrate the contrast between Meek’s two new leaks. “Philly Heathens” has resonated with audiences for its subject matter, while “Am I Wrong” has sparked discussion due to its interpolation and vocal approach.

Both songs are now officially available on YouTube so that fans can decide for themselves. The response to “Am I Wrong” shows how difficult it is to reinterpret a well known song, especially when a recognizable hook becomes the centerpiece of the new version

Drake Joins Karol G in Houston for First Live Performance of “Ahi”

Drake made a surprise appearance in Houston this weekend, joining Karol G on stage for the first-ever live performance of their collaboration, “Ahi.”
The surprise appearance took place during Karol G’s show in Houston, where Drake jumped out from the bottom of the stage to perform the song with her. “Ahi” is the latest from Karol G’s project No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, and the Houston show marked the first time the pair had performed the collaboration together on stage.

Drake made his entrance to a loud reception from the crowd. The rapper popped out from under the stage, bowed to Karol G, hugged her, and launched into their collaboration. With “Ahi,” the performance was not over. Drake stayed on stage and carried on with the set, performing “Janice STFU” and “One Dance” and giving the Houston crowd a long set from the Canadian rapper.

The collaboration also sparked speculation about Drake’s upcoming music. A rumor started that Karol G was one of the collaborators on the project, along with Molly Santana and Future, days before ICEMAN is expected to drop. Future and Molly Santana were among the names on the rumored list, and Future ended up on “Run To Atlanta.”

Drake’s Houston appearance comes as he continues to promote music outside the traditional album release cycle. He released FOMO, a visual YouTube project featuring visuals for several songs from Habibti and Maid Of Honor nearly two weeks ago. The project also featured a couple of unreleased songs, including new material with Yeat and new unreleased music with Don Toliver.

Drake and Don Toliver have also dropped a remix of Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas.” The remix has recently sparked speculation about the artists after re uploaded visuals allegedly erased all footage of Langley.

But the Houston show shifted the focus back to Drake and Karol G. The surprise appearance turned the stop into the first live showcase of “Ahi” for the audience, while Drake’s renditions of “Janice STFU” and “One Dance” extended his surprise time onstage. It also gave fans their first chance to see the two artists perform their collaboration together, adding a live chapter to the release of “Ahi. “
