But Did You Die? DJ Akademiks Claims Nicki Minaj Threatened His Life, Gets Dragged Anyway

Source: Josiah Kamau/BuzzFoto via Getty Images/Earl Gibson III/Getty Images Akademiks Claims Nicki Threatened Him, Sparks Slander Shameless clout-collector DJ Akademiks is embroiled in a bizarre “beef” with Nicki Minaj stemming from months of obsessive “Everyday Struggle” commentary on her shenanigans that blew up in his face when she allegedly threatened his life via Instagram DM. Seemingly frightened, he scampered to Twitter to announce the threats that were immediately shut down by Nicki’s fiercely loyal stan army. At one point, he posts receipts of her DMs that appear legit while making an already sketchy situation even sketchier. Seriously, why would he lie? But, then again, are we 100% sure he wouldn’t lie? “Let me show you who Nicki really is. I just want to show who these motherf*ckers are ’cause this is who they are,” whined Akademiks on his live stream (see for yourself at the 4:58 mark) . “This is Nicki, ‘You been mad since I made a joke about you with Joe [Budden] on my show. The people you rep won’t be able to stop your jaw from getting broken. I know too much about your family for you to be playing with me, you hoe azz rat.’” Hmm, that definitely isn’t as serious as Akademiks made it seem but it’s still a threat that, when dropped on Twitter, sparked a hilariously petty explosion of tweets across the never-boring app. Akademiks posting the dms like we care pic.twitter.com/xieHYVKzID — Queen Lay (@__iamlay) September 10, 2019 Peep the hilarious Twitter chaos over Akademiks’s wild claims on the flip.

Spike Lee Gets 1st Oscar Nods For Best Picture & Best Director

Source: Regina Wagner/Future Image/WENN.com / WENN Over the course of his long career, Spike Lee has enjoyed a number of accolades but being recognized by the voting members of The Oscars as a top director and for delivering a great film has eluded him. That changed on Tuesday (Jan. 22) after the announcement for the 2019 Academy Awards, giving Lee his first Best Picture and Best Director nods. Variety reports : After more than three decades of making films that have collectively established an undeniable cultural legacy, 61-year-old auteur Spike Lee is finally an Academy Award nominee for best picture and director. It’s as noteworthy a headline as Tuesday’s Oscar nominations announcement is bound to produce. In fact, Lee’s original screenplay notice for the 1989 lightning rod “Do the Right Thing,” which will celebrate its 30th anniversary this summer, and a bid for the 1997 documentary “4 Little Girls,” remained his only Oscar nominations to date until this morning, when he picked up three for “BlacKkKlansman.” The Academy somewhat rectified the years of oversight for landmark achievements like “Malcolm X” and “25th Hour” (considered by some to be one of the very best films of its decade) with an Honorary Oscar in 2015, but Lee’s bids for directing and producing his latest are obviously a long time coming. Salute to the OG Spike Lee. — Photo: WENN

Soulja Boy Boasts ‘Fortnite’ Will Be On His Next “Console”, Epic Games Says Nah

Source: Greg Doherty / Getty Soulja Boy’s road to video game greatness has hit another snag. King Draco made the claim that his next “console” will have the addictive game Fortnite on it. The game’s developer says that is not happening. During Soulja Boy’s epic press tour where we witness the classic Breakfast Club interview and the off the rails Everyday Struggle visit, DJ Akademiks asked Big Soulja about his sketchy consoles. The “Crank That” rapper has drawn a lot of criticism for selling marked up, poorly constructed Anbernic consoles that are loaded with pirated games. Soulja has denied the accusations and thinks its just case people hating on him and explained to Akademiks that “It’s not a scam,” and “every game on there is licensed.” Despite Nintendo approaching Soulja forcing him to “boss up” and stop selling the janky video game systems, he is now claiming Fortnite will somehow be on his next console. Epic Games, however, shut that claim down immediately and states that will never happen. In a statement issued to Dual Shockers , Epic’s Senior PR Manager, Nick Chester said: “No, you can’t play Fortnite on a rooted or jailbroken device due to anti-cheat measures.” Well there you have it, Soulja Boy has yet to respond, but we expect him to do so soon. As for Fortnite, the game has earned $3 billion in profits last year and is the subject of lawsuits from rapper 2 Milly, actor Alfonso Ribiero, and The Backpack Kid. — Photo: Greg Doherty / Getty

However, the Everyday Struggle co-host insists he is not the confidential informant in the federal case against Tekashi69 and his now former Treyway affiliates.  Akademiks was accused by a Hip-Hop blog of being the loose-lipped informant, which went as far as saying Tekashi’s former manager and co-defendant  Kifano “Shotti” Jordan’s lawyer is who fingered him as the snitch. Worth noting, Shotti is one of the voices heard allegedly plotting to harm his former client on a federal wiretap . However, TMZ heard from the lawyer , Scott Leemon,  who claims he never said such a thing. Akademiks also spoke to TMZ, and vehemently denied the claim. Akademiks told TMZ he has “zero connection to this criminal case against Daniel Hernandez & other co-defendants. I view them as good people to me.” He added, “All these charges are a shock to me and do not involve me. I have never been questioned or much less cooperated in this. I am just a news reporter.” Also, no, he’s a not a news reporter. But what Akademiks did do is recklessly bring up Casanova’s name on Twitch.

A Los Angeles judge has issued a bench warrant for Laura Govan after she didn’t turn up for a hearing on the suit yet again, BOSSIP has learned. Arenas sued Govan – with whom he shares 4 kids – for defamation, accusing her of concocting a scheme to humiliate him in the press – and spreading lies about him giving her STD’s. He explained Govan was bitter after he broke up with her. She decided to write an email to him with the line, “When I left you it was because I couldn’t take the STDs.” However, he claimed it was lies and she leaked it to the media, according to court docs. The judge awarded Arenas a default judgment in the amount of $110,100 and ordered Govan to pay up to her baby daddy Back in January, Arenas filed docs in the case demanding Govan produce her financial information and records for him to examine the amount of assets and property in her possession in order to collect on the $110,000 he is owed.

The hearing was set for June 23rd but once again Govan blew off the hearing and did not show up, according to court records. As a result, the judge issued a bench warrant and ordered bond in the amount of $5,000. The hearing was continued until next month and Arena’s lawyers were instructed to inform Govan to show up or face more consequences by the judge.

As previously reported T.I. was spotted at the NFL’s media party with THIS lovely lady on his arm. That woman turned out to be Kristen Ingram, the head of affiliate marketing for the NFL, who reportedly has NO personal connection to Tip. T.I. recently took to Instagram to address the rumors and used a photo from his Grand Hustle dinner attended by Phaedra Parks, Nicole Murphy, Meek Mill and Angela Yee to do so. “I was telling Angela Yee watch where she stand cause anybody I stand next to ends up being my side piece.
