It was only a matter of time before Freddie Gibbs came for Akademiks — again. The soon-to-be former Everyday Struggle co-host announced the popular Complex show was coming to an end on Monday (November 30) and further explained why during an extensive Twitch session, pointing to the Chrissy Teigen incident in which he called her a “bitch” and his online back-and-forth with Gibbs as being contributing factor.
Not skipping a beat, Gibbs quickly seized the opportunity to clown the internet personality. On Tuesday (December 1), Gangsta Gibbs shared a clip of Akademiks talking about his previous suspension and wrote underneath it “Nigga got fired.” When Ak says he never wanted to be a Complex employee, Gibbs reminded him, “But U are an employee bitch nigga. They told U to shut the fuck up boy.”
The Grammy Award-nominated Gibbs also noted he deserved every award Complex gave him following Ak and Gibbs’ internet spat— despite Ak’s feelings about it.
“Lyricist of the year,” he wrote. “Real nigga of the year. Gangsta of the year. Gimme all my flowers bitch.” He then took a moment to clarify he never once threatened to “kill” Akademiks as he suggested in the Twitch clip.
“And U a lie bitch,” he added. “I ain’t say that I said I was gonna squeeze yo breasts.” Finally, he brought back his “Fuck Akademiks” battle cry, adding several laughing emojis for emphasis.
Akademiks and Gibbs engaged in an epic internet battle that began in late June and carried on until early July. In fact, Gibbs vowed to torture him until he quit his job, tweeting, “@akademiks I ain’t done with U pussy. I’mma torture U until U quit your job. And whoever else want smoke holla at Big Rabbit.”
But evidently, the universe took care of that for him. Watch Gibbs’ comments above.
Gibbs is a good rapper, too bad he spends so much time chasing clout. That combined with his music not being very good makes it hard to root for him. I hate Akademiks, however if he wasn’t so well known Gibbs would let him be. He uses the fame of others (jeezy, ll cool j, akademiks, even stole cover art from lil Nas x) to get himself over yet he couldn’t sell water in a drought. I know sales don’t correlate with skill, but they are an indicator of popularity and the numbers say nobody gives a shit about this guy. Congrats to him for the “flowers”, he can enjoy his moment in the sun because in 2 years he’s gonna be forgotten like almost every other rapper.
I come her often to laugh, 2 years? You must not listen to Gibbs.
Here*
Clearly not…hes thinking Macklemore
He’s pushing 40. The charades are going to kill his career. Maybe he’s transitioning out of rap?
Gibbs can go 2 more years if he chooses. I’m glad he’s shitting on yall rap nerds
I never heard anybody say “ play tht new Freddie Gibbs he lame for beefin wit Ak
U ain’t gotta hear it….he looks a lil children childish right now but doesn’t change the fact that he can rap like a muthafucka and hasnt dropped any lame shit…
It will turn off potential new listeners though. Clout chasing is for a the younger audience that aren’t mature enough to care.
why is Gibbs not allowed to roast that little nerd? he should’ve never started it with running his mouth. Gibbs is funny as hell AND he’s a great rapper that picks great beats. y’all a bunch of little babies sticking up for that dumb ass kid lol.
Akademiks carries this energy that just screams “I’m a little fuckboy”
For real for reals
I now know exactly why it didn’t work out with Jeezy. This guy is all about clout chasing and Twitter fingers. I don’t know nothing about these types of gangstas
