Complex News has suspended Everyday Struggle co-host Akademiks for some disparaging remarks he made about supermodel Chrissy Teigen. In a video uploaded to to Twitter on Thursday (July 2), the media personality offered up an apology.
“I definitely wanna start off by kind of like apologizing for some of the stuff that’s been going on outside the show,” he said. “In particular … I think I definitely went over the line when I was disrespecting women. It just wasn’t right. After thinking about it, even seeing the clip, it’s nasty. Truth be told, given everything that’s going on not only the world, given what’s going on with the current climate at Complex and also former employees and current employees , also working with Nadeska, someone I have a lot of love for, I just felt it was completely out of pocket.”
As Akademiks continues, he admits Complex has suspended him from at least the next two Everyday Struggle episodes.
Furthermore, Akademiks’ Twitch account — where he often goes on his late night tirades — is also deactivated.
Akademiks’ comments about Teigen arrived on Tuesday (June 30) during a Twitch livestream. In the clip, he refers to her as a “bitch” numerous times.
“It’s bewildering to me,” he said. “His bitch be talking mad shit online. What’s… I dislike this bitch so much, I can’t even lie to you. One time she sneak-dissed me so fuck that hoe. Straight up and John Legend could hear that. Don’t have your bitch dissing me because I don’t give two fucks about none of y’all niggas.”
He continued, “One time she was sneak dissing me. I don’t play that. I don’t care if you John Legend’s bitch or any other bitch. How about you take that fucking big ass mouth of yours and that fucking weird ass looking face and start promoting your man’s album and maybe he wouldn’t do 25,000 fucking first week. ‘
“Cause you got all the jokes and when you’re tryna get at niggas you think you’re the smartest, cutest, funniest thing possible but your man is still fucking flopping. He’s a legend doing 25,000 – that’s a fucking flop.”
The outspoken “blogger,” as he likes to call himself, also told her and her husband John Legend to “suck a dick.”
Akademiks has been wilin’ out on social media as of late. He’s been engaged in an online war with Freddie Gibbs as well.
Revisit his comments about Teigen below.
Save it. His nonsense will come to an end soon enough..
Why is this goofball ass nigga even a voice in the culture?!
Goofy suburban kids flocked to his trolling…….
More like grown men reacted like children and entertained suburban kids as well. If dudes in their 30s and 40s didn’t moan about teenagers online Ak wouldn’t be here.
Lol Freddy Gibbs ruined whatever was left of this gossiper
Who?
I don’t get why anyone pays attention to this guy he doesn’t rap or write or make beats he literally just talks shit about people without having any talent himself.
Primo that’s what the world has become, look at his partner 69 two peas n da same pod bro
This goes beyond Rap Beef, John Legend isn’t even a rapper. Disrespecting someone else’s wife and telling them to “suck your dick” isn’t just out of pocket that’s the type of shit that should that real dudes should test Akademiks jaw for. You think those two give two shits about this blogger?
He told no lies. He shouldn’t have apologized.
John Legend and Chrissy may not be gatekeepers but they know gatekeepers. As much fuckery as AK does as far as beefing THIS is what gets him suspended 2 days?
I never liked this ugly mfer to begin with. His opinions are trash.. and he only gets recognition from starting beefs. Hope somebody knocks him tf out
Two shows? Should be a lot longer…. long enough to see the show go on without him….
I didn’t even know the show was even still on the air. I haven’t seen it really since Joe Budden left.
Ak be drunk talking madd shit. This is the biggest fosse hole jamaican that i ever seen. This generation is all fucked up.
Lol ?
There you have it – a man (even a non-white man, that is) isn’t allowed to criticize non-white women. And no, Chrissy Teigen is not white. That’s the mistake you blacks make, you think everyone with lighter skin is white. If she was white “Karen”, as the enemy calls white women, everything would be kosher (see what i did there? wink wink ;). Hell, Akademiks would probably get applauded and rewarded for attacking a “karen”. Notice the double standard when you look at how Wendy Williams entire career on TV has been about attacking (mostly non-white even) women and men. But since she’s a black woman she can’t do that. But akademiks, as a black man, is only allowed to criticize white women.
since she’s a black woman she can* (sorry for typo)
You´re antisemitic Bullshit is inappropriate. In your title name and your remarks. Racism is horrible, so is antisemitism. It´s not acceptable and showcases either the fact you are very ignorant, stupid or very hateful. And neither is okay. Its out of place. The BLM movement is great, because it shines a light on racism. Unfortunately, antisemitism is still not being discussed in society, and that doublestandard is apparent.
She isn’t black
Shame on Complex News for making it only 2 weeks. Disgusting behavior all round.
Chrissy Teigan is someone who is trying so hard to get her comments out – that noone cares about. While her husband cant even sell his album ? Fail couple. I dont even like Akademiks but shes an idiot.
Hahah if John Legend and Chrissy Teigen is a failed couple, shit I wanna fail too. Clown ass, bet you still live with yo moms, LOL
The real reason has to be he put the roc nation ceo out there as a rat they have to protect her.Shes got more power and pull then all he mentioned.
fuckin jay-z behind this shit, protecting his rat latina employee
He a mark..I dont like this fake a$$ nlgga anyway.???
Somebody should kill this fat clown already
Never wish death on others. It might backfire and you end up losing somebody close to you. That’s karma
Nobody watches the show anyway. Just an excuse for complex to save some money. The show sucks, he’s a clown, he works with an annoying “bitch” (to borrow his terminology) and nobody has cared about this thing since Budden left.
Jo? Is that you?
This dude is wack af
That’s what his clout chasing ass get.
and a troll
This guy forgot he works for the woke ones. Real dumb talking like that. He’ll be lucky if that lot don’t get him fired yet.
He need to put that Henny down. That Henny bout to ruin his life.
No fan of Akademics…but I’m less a fan of Chrissy Teigen. I don’t see her appeal at all. Where did he lie?
But she had nothing to do with the situation that was happenin. It was just unnecessary
So…….if I’m not a fan of you…. I can degrade and call you a B….?? Cool, now we know what to call you.
????
He has no right in this culture hes a fucking clown
Akademik a culture vulture, a clown & a straight up weirdo. His family should be ashamed of him for speaking like that about any woman. Good move Complex, first step to firing the Donut Gangster ? #CANCELAKADEMIKS
Y’all keep saying he’s not part of our culture, how if he’s black and from the hood? And helped smaller artist get exposure?
He was wilding out and talking tough but he’s not about nothing.
I don’t understand why cats talk ish then apologise after. That’s weak af..Salute to 50 ,if he say something he mean it. No apologies after LMAO
He tryna downplay the complex suspension, talking bout hes gonna have 2 weeks off..”they agree with it and I agree with it”. Tryna make it seem like he’s taking a 2 week break by choice lol
