DJ Akademiks' Trolling Backfires After He Said Young Thug Has The "Worst Build"

DJ Akademiks has been very critical of Young Thug as of late, clowning him and Lil Baby for teasing collaborations without Gunna.

DJ Akademiks did Thugger wrong. Rather than talk about his music and other projects, he decided to discuss the rapper’s weight. He remarked that Young Thug had possibly the worst build. He mentioned that Thug is skinny with a “Gucci… gut.” This is ironic because Gucci Mane has a six pack now after getting out of prison.

Furthermore, Akademiks is casting stones while his house is made of glass. He’s a pudgy son of a bitch that has the nerve to critique other people’s physique.

His whole line of opinions lack any validity because of this. Even one commenter posted “right message, wrong messenger” online. Ak is a plump guy who has no business talking about what the next man looks like. He should stick to gossip and stirring up trouble as the consummate troll he is.

If there ever came the time to talk about a man’s weight and physical appearance, he should be the last to chime in on the subject. When it comes to him being a rolly polly bastard, he truly takes the cake…and eats it.

Ak is the kind of guy who lobs insults that he can’t back up himself. He’s apparently supposed to be the sole social critic out here that can dissect the genre and make it understandable in a clever manner. He has failed in this regard.

What he should be doing are some push ups and sit ups and pull ups himself. Instead of going at the next man for his weight issues, Ak should look in the mirror and face reality. He should be able to surmise that his weight concerns ought not lie with Thugger Thugger but from within. He should be jabbing himself with Ozempic or other drugs that promote weight loss.

If anything, he should stick to the music and the ideas that come out of these rappers’ mouths. There seems to be a deep disconnect with the way the broadcaster with a relatively huge following portends when he goes live. His inability to look at the landscape and take in the essentials is his problem. Going at the next man because he may have a baller’s gut is not the way to go for Ak. Other trolls may be able to pull it off, but he can’t. He’s literally not built for that.

For him to form his mouth to say anything about anyone else's weight is the pot calling the kettle white. The reality is that there is a disconnect between what Akademiks should be talking about and what he actually is saying. As he goes on his tirades, he forgets to or worse, knows better but chooses to do the wrong thing. He shies away from responsibility for clicks and taps.

In order for him to become a better broadcaster, he should continue down the road to his own redemption and take seriously his role as one of the best voices on the Interweb.

While he has a track record for decrying the words and instruments involved in rap music, he should be more cautious when it comes to displaying his thoughts. Every one of his critiques should come with a disclaimer saying that he is supposed to be inline with the sonic capacities of these rappers. He possesses the mind to discuss the difference between what is right and what is wrong.

By now with billions of streams and millions of followers and subscribers across multiple platforms Ak should know how to carry himself. To take him as a man of words and deeds, it is important to see if his words carry weight.
