DJ Akademiks apparently still has lingering trauma from interviewing Erykah Badu 5 years ago … which all spilled out, with much acidity, while discussing the Tory Lanez case on his live stream.
After a commenter called upon Badu to work “her magic” on Ak for his involvement in the Tory trial, Ak exploded with disdain for the R&B songstress, harkening back to their 2018 encounter on “Everyday Struggle” when Badu said he looked like the mouse from “Tom & Jerry.”
Ak made it clear the moment still bothers him and roasted Badu for having children with 3 different rappers — Outkast’s André 3000, The D.O.C. and Jay Electronica — and vowed he’ll never let up off the throttle.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
When another commenter suggested Badu was just joking, Ak claimed his disrespectful barbs were jokes as well. He says he bottled in the pain for 5 years, after having a tarnished experience of being treated like a stepstool.

Ak was initially triggered by reporter Meghann Cuniff revealing a judge declared Tory was passing him information in the case, a claim Adademiks is denying.
He also spent 10 minutes laying into SZA for her cosmetic surgeries and weight gain, but they’ve been beefing since 2017 … nothing new except a fresh round of insults.
