DJ Akademiks Reignites Rory Farrell Feud After QueenzFlip Confrontation

DJ Akademiks is back, taking shots at Rory Farrell, but this time the longtime tension between them flared up after Farrell ran in with QueenzFlip at a nightclub event.

Akademiks and Rory have been beefing for a while, and the latest situation gave Akademiks another reason to go at the Joe Budden Podcast host. Farrell challenged QueenzFlip at the event, and Akademiks responded on Twitter with not much sympathy for Flip and more focus on Rory.

Akademiks shared a vintage clip of Farrell dancing, clowning the podcaster’s looks and actions. The next moment was captured on DJ Akademiks’ TV’s Instagram. Judging by his reaction, he noticed what Farrell was doing, particularly the confrontation and the discussion that followed online. Other moments from the CY Chels and NBA Hoops livestreams went viral on Twitter, including reactions to the confrontation and Rory’s apology on his podcast with Mal, Demaris, and others.

Akademiks was especially surprised that Farrell had confronted QueenzFlip. But Ak suggested that with his history with Rory, he had previously seen himself as Farrell’s main serious enemy. At the same time, Akademiks said QueenzFlip was somewhat “punked out” during the encounter but was still trying to give him some grace over what went down.

Akademiks’ words were tough, but his reaction also showed that he was impressed by Rory’s energy in the face-off. He said Farrell made Joe Budden, the podcast host, look a certain way before he tried to get his response afterward. Akademiks later returned to mocking an old dancing clip of Rory and joked about bullying QueenzFlip into taking action.

Things got even more interesting when Akademiks responded to Rory’s apology. He said he was coming for Farrell for trying to project this hard persona, but, according to Akademiks, he was not owning up to how the altercation affected the people around him.

QueenzFlip also addressed the situation himself, saying the incident had given him a real problem with Rory. The information around the exchange implies that Flip had thought their previous conflicts were problems they could move past. But the latest standoff appears to have altered that dynamic.

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. “
