Akademiks struggled to hide his emotions while addressing his feud with Saucy Santana, who recently threatened to beat him up and then “fuck [him] in [his] ass.”
The podcaster responded to the openly gay rapper’s comments during a Rumble stream on Wednesday (November 1), where he began by laughing off the prospect of fighting Santana, who he suggested would “grab your balls” during the scuffle.
He also said there’s no victory in beating up a “batty man,” citing his Jamaican upbringing where homosexuality is not only taboo, but illegal — although he went on to say that he’s had to “mentally train” himself to shake off those views.
“When I see a n-gga like Saucy Santana, it’s rubbing on the mere fabric of what I really grew up on,” he said. “It brings me back to a hateful part of my life that I really try to get past.”
The jokes later turned to tears, though, as Akademiks broke down crying while admitting that Saucy’s rape threat “triggers” him and that he’s scared of getting “canceled” for his response, which he expects will lead to him being labeled a homophobe.
“I’m not tryna get canceled to fuck up what we got going on. I’m never tryna get canceled saying the wrong thing — I know what we got going on, I love it,” he said before pausing and welling up. “I’m trying not to get canceled.
“But this shit does bother me. Put it like this: with everything we’ve talked about, I’ve never cared about — I don’t care what rapper got at me, bro. Ever. But really, there’s certain shit I really don’t fuck with in my life that I will never do.”
“But I’m in America, I gotta sit here and just act like,” he continued, his voice breaking. “I don’t fuck with certain shit. I don’t like it. Just please.
“I hate certain shit to the soul of me. I’m only pretending because if I say what I want to say, I will never be here for y’all. But I don’t want to be that person.”
Yung Miami, who Saucy Santana was defending after Akademiks trashed the City Girls, had little sympathy for her rap media rival after the video of him crying went viral.
“I was in tears when he laughed and was trolling about my car getting shot up while I was 6 months pregnant,” she wrote in an Instagram comment, referencing a previous back-and-forth.
Ak’s criticism of the City Girls came during a Rumble stream last week, where he ridiculed the Florida duo for the low first-week sales of their new album RAW and claimed that their musical buzz has “fizzled out.”
Saucy Santana, a close friend of Yung Miami, hit back by accusing the media personality of “mov[ing] like a f-g” by continually picking on female rappers.
Things went up a notch when Akademiks called Santana a “cocksucker” and said he’ll “spit in [his] face” if they ever run into each other. That prompted the “Walk Em Like a Dog” rapper to threaten to “fuck” Ak from behind.
“After I beat you, I’ma fuck you in your ass because you’re a bitch-ass n-gga,” Santana warned. “That’s what we do to you. You always pressing a BBL, f-g. Bitch, you sitting on your thick-ass. I got a BBL and you got a BBW.
“That’s what you do. You a big Black woman. Sitting on that motherfucking couch… You talking with so much aggression and hostility for a n-gga we don’t see in public.”
Regardless of how you feel about Ak you can’t threaten to r*pe people. Imagine if a rapper talked about raping a famous lesbian like Janelle Monet . I guess that community can do no wrong SMDH.
Preach!!
This is a messed up world we are living in. For that reaction I would wish that Saucy would get cancelled for. It should not be entertained or taken lightly. Would it have been considered as funny if someone else said those words? I am not amused by it. I for one don’t like that Saucy weirdo.
Preach!
Yall don’t think another male rapper has ever said “I’m going to f*ck (insert woman actor/singer)” before.. without getting cancelled? It’s a man talking to a man at the end of the day, so yall comparing it to a man talking to a woman don’t curl all the way over… he didn’t say he was going to r*pe him either… it wasn’t even insinuated if you want to be technical… yall just mad Simpademiks is playing the victim to a gay ass nigg like Saucy. Cry about it.
@Kano Gigg Regardless if it’s a man who said it to another man or even if it’s a man saying it to a woman. It’s without consent or approval of the person being spoken to. It’s totally unwelcome and therefore unacceptable.
You’re saying people aren’t able to say “I’m going to fuck (insert person)” without having consent or approval first… and that simply isn’t true buddy.
Cancel that creep Saucy Santana.
Enough of it goes on behind bars
You’ve obviously never been to prison or even met someone who has
Those are tears of joy. That fat gay looking Teletubby ain’t fooling anyone.
Those were tears of joy.
Drag that Saucy Santana’s rump to the loony bin. Hahaha
Ak runnin a Kaufman
If a male rapper made comments about beating and raping a female he would have his ass dragged through the coals and be cancelled so Saucy Santana needs to blacklisted for these disgusting comments. I’ve got no time at all for Ak but nobody deserves that treatment
Preach. I totally agree with you.
The real problem is corporate America’s research indicates Gen Z is nearly all either LGBTQ or LGBTQ friendly. They are scared to offend these people because they think in 10 years theyll be bankrupt. They are banking on straight people being a minority in the USA within the next couple decades. The only way not to get “cancelled” is to go independent. And the youths obsession with “streaming” really doesnt give you that option because the woke controls what gets on and what doesnt. If we went back to CDs, cancel culture couldnt exist for rappers. Podcasting is another story.
imagine if somebody said they were going to force a gay man to have sex with a woman. Or imagine if we had somebody talking about forcefully abusing and raping a lesbian woman. There would be no articles on it, no laughing It Off from other celebrities. It’s such a double standard n it’s disgusting. Somehow America has went so far backwards that now the only way to have a real freedom of speech you have to be in a community that is allowed unlimited freedoms. It’s almost like being gay is the new norm and being straight is frowned upon.
Preach!!
Just imagine a top tier male rap artist said the crazy things that this weirdo Saucy Santana said. Just imagine the backlash by the Hip Hop community and the social media and secular media platforms said artist would have received. He would have been blasted without any mercy. Saucy Santana must be treated with the same disgust.
Preach!!
Saucy Santana must publicly apologise to Ak in an open letter. Words have consequences. The world is waiting for that apology. May it be sincere.
Preach!!
You can’t R@p3 the willing
Soon there will be a a war in America for gay rights and straight rights.. I think soon the lgbtq will start to commit hate crimes against straight . Sometimes the lgbtq doesn’t have boundaries. If a gay man tell a straight dude that he would insert his or penis in his ass does he have a right to be mad ? Uncomfortable ? Is that sexual harassment ? Ak an asshole and a troll for sure but damn . You told a man you would sodomize him and he can’t do nothing about it or lose money and his platform . I guess Freedom of speech , morals , boundaries , and principals don’t apply when $$$ envolved
