Akademiks Crashes Out on Meek Mill Over His Yella Beezy Tweets: “Meek Never Shot Nobody”
Akademiks and Meek Mill are at it again — and this round started with the Yella Beezy verdict.
On November 12, Meek Mill took to X about the case, sharing criminal defense attorney Bradford Cohen’s post arguing Beezy was convicted “on the word of a witness who admitted he lied to the grand jury and got a federal deal to testify, while the shooter says Beezy never paid him.” Cohen’s post continued: “That isn’t proof beyond a reasonable doubt.” Meek added his own reflection in a separate post, writing about a man being shot seven times with nobody convicted and what that means for a son growing up learning “the game of ‘America.'”
On his Kick stream, Akademiks pulled the tweets up and crashed out. In a profanity-heavy rant, Ak called Meek unintelligent and out of touch, said Meek has no business speaking on street cases, and flatly declared that “Meek never shot nobody” — mocking him as a civilian who talks tough online. The chat ate it up, but plenty of viewers pushed back, pointing at Meek’s own history with the system and the gun violence that took his father.
For the record: a Dallas County jury convicted Yella Beezy of capital murder on November 11 — prosecutors said he paid Kewon White $40,000 to kill Mo3 in 2020 — and he was sentenced to life without parole. His defense has said it plans to appeal, which is exactly the fight Cohen’s post is previewing.
Ak versus Meek is one of hip-hop media’s longest-running feuds: Meek has gone at Akademiks for years over his coverage, most recently after the Lil Durk verdict in September. It never stays quiet for long, and it never really ends — it just waits for the next tweet.
So who’s out of line here? Does Ak have a point about rappers speaking on cases that aren’t theirs — or is Meek, who lost his father to gun violence and fought his own case for a decade, exactly the kind of voice that should be speaking?
