DJ Akademiks Speaks Out After Twitch Ban Over Inappropriate Comments to Teen
DJ Akademiks has officially been banned from Twitch following a controversial exchange with 15-year-old streamer NourGXD, sparking outrage across social media.
The hip-hop personality and streamer made headlines after a disturbing conversation surfaced, in which he made explicit comments toward the underage content creator. The backlash was swift and severe, leading to Twitch permanently banning his channel.
Now, Akademiks has finally addressed the controversy, saying he understands the platform’s decision—but insists he’ll continue streaming elsewhere.
What Led to Akademiks’ Twitch Ban?
The controversy began when Akademiks engaged in an inappropriate conversation with 15-year-old streamer NourGXD during a broadcast.
During the now-viral clip, Akademiks asked Nour:
💬 “Yo, if [PlaqueBoy] Max said he wanted to try fcking a dude, will you let him fck you?”
Clearly uncomfortable, the teen responded “no.”
Instead of dropping the subject, Akademiks pressed further, asking:
💬 “Why not?”
The shocking nature of the exchange immediately sparked backlash, with many calling for Twitch to take action—which they ultimately did by banning his account.
Akademiks Responds: “I Completely Get It”
After his sudden removal from Twitch, Akademiks spoke out, saying he respects the decision and understands the consequences.
💬 “Even though I wasn’t streaming, that happened on their platform—I completely get it.”
Despite being banned, Akademiks made it clear that his content isn’t going anywhere, confirming that he’ll continue to stream on YouTube:
💬 “Of course, we still stream on YouTube. Which, honestly, about 80% of our viewership came from YouTube anyway.”
He went on to reaffirm Twitch’s authority, stating:
💬 “Twitch, I respect their platform. You gotta respect their rules.”
However, Akademiks also suggested that he’ll be taking a more low-key approach moving forward, acknowledging the growing scrutiny surrounding him:
💬 “I kinda wanted to have a lower-key stream. I feel like the sharks are just circling.”
What’s Next for DJ Akademiks?
While his ban from Twitch marks a significant blow to his online presence, Akademiks still maintains a strong following on YouTube and other platforms.
However, given the serious nature of the controversy, it remains to be seen whether:
- More platforms will take action against him.
- Sponsors or partnerships will distance themselves.
- Legal consequences could arise.
With public backlash mounting, Akademiks’ future in hip-hop media and streaming may now depend on how he handles the fallout in the coming weeks.
Final Thoughts: A Career at a Crossroads
DJ Akademiks’ latest controversy has left his reputation hanging in the balance.
While he remains defiant in continuing his content, the outrage over his remarks has already had real consequences, and it’s unclear whether this will be just a temporary setback or a career-altering scandal.
Either way, the internet is watching—and Twitch has made it clear where they stand.
