Queen of NeoSoul Erykah Badu has apparently made a royal enemy of media personality DJ Akademiks.
Six years after likening the embattled Web star to “Jerry the Mouse” of the classic cartoon series ‘Tom & Jerry,’ Akademiks (born Livingston Allen) is still feeling a way about the insult – a status he made clear during a recent Rumble stream while discussing the sentencing of Tory Lanez.
“I never f**ked with Erykah Badu after she was tryna come on my show and be funny,” he said Tuesday (August 8) in response to a comment that referenced the GRAMMY winner. “B**ch, I don’t f**k with you after that. N**ga, wassup now? What we finna do? B**ch, you an old a** h**. [You] just keep getting f**ked by all these young n**gas.”
Sending his name to viral status on Twitter in the hours that followed, look inside to see how Erykah responded to the hoopla.
As shown in the video above (captured by our friends at TNT), Allen didn’t mince words when referencing the ‘Tyrone‘ singer.
Despite recently wrapping up the hotly selling ‘Unfollow Me‘ arena tour, Badu followed Livingston’s livid comments with a few of her own.
“You have to really be careful what you think and what you say out here. I learned today that something I said five years ago in jest, when we all laughed, actually triggered someone’s really deep-rooted trauma,” she took to Instagram to say Wednesday (August 9). “They kept it bottled up for a while and it hurt them so bad, it had them out in these streets acting real pu**y.”
