Roomies, the net isnt letting up on DJ Akademiks following a recent inappropriate conversation with a 15-year-old boy.
On January 23rd, a viral clip surfaced online featuring DJ Akademiks and his friends engaging in an inappropriate conversation with Nour, a 15-year-old streamer and a long-time supporter of popular streamer PlaqueBoyMax.
In the clip, DJ Akademiks and other men in the Discord call repeatedly asks Nour a series of sexual questions, including if he would ever let PlaqueBoyMax engage in sexual activity with him. While giggling, Nour repeatedly shut down their questions, insisting that he is not gay.
The Discord conversion sparked an huge uproar across the net. From fellow streamer to everyday X users, many made their way to the timeline to discuss the controversial call between DJ Akademiks and Nour.
PlaqueBoyMax even entered the conversation to call out DJ Akademiks for his behavior during the call. He expressed that the clips were not only nasty, but also very weird. He also issued a message to kids reminding them to remove themselves from any inappropriate Discord conversations.
I dont f*** with it. And AK I would appreciate if you dont do that type of sh** with my lil bro. He not my lil bro but feel me. That sh** not cool. That sh** not cool
DJ Akademiks quickly hopped on live to respond to critics and PlaqueBoyMax. During the stream, he went off while expressing how he shows too much love to streamers to even be called a weirdo. In another clip, he also provided more context to why he was playing with Nour. Akademiks claims that Nour was suicidal at one point and they would allegedly send money to lift his spirts.
I never need to be on Kai, Max, Adin nobody stream. I dont need nobody who stream. I got my own on thing going on So when I seen this s**i it pissed me off. Im over here f***** with these n***** Im supporting these n***** and their kicking my back in
After some self-reflection, DJ Akademiks returned to the internet to apologize for his actions during the Discord call. He shared that his plans was to use this as a teachable moment, while acknowledging the impact of his actions. Akademiks clarified that he doesnt have any issues with PlaqueBoyMax and was initially upset because he felt like Max couldve called him before calling him out on the net.
We are going to use this as a teachable moment. Because I dont believe I came this far to build this platform to be that irresponsible.
Social media continues to weigh in on DJ Akademik’s initial statement and shared their thoughts in The Shade Room comment section. Nour also took to his platform with a message.
