The war of words between rapper Meek Mill and media personality DJ Akademiks might finally take the form of punches being exchanged in the squared circle under professional supervision. KSI‘s boxing promotion, Misfits, threw a massive $1.5 million offer at Akademiks to settle his beef with Meek Mill with fists, not words. This isn’t your typical celebrity boxing sideshow.
The animosity between these two runs deep. It all started with Akademiks spreading rumors about Meek Mill’s sexual orientation. Things escalated when Meek Mill sent the police to Akademiks’ home and even challenged him to a street fight. The internet sensation did not back down and accepted the challenge. The popular podcaster, known for his controversial takes on the hip-hop scene, is not a stranger to controversies. Back in 2020, he was suspended from Complex News for insulting model Chrissy Teigen. Now, Misfits wishes to capitalize on this real-life feud between a rapper and a live streamer.

On his podcast show Off the Record, DJ Akademiks talked about how he’s ready to resolve the conflict between him and Meek Mill via a fight in the squared circle. He wants a boxing match since it’d be a legal way for both luminaries to vent their frustrations on each other and bring closure to the bad blood between them. At the same time, both of them can also walk away with a decent amount of money by cashing in on their real-life animosity.

Akademiks said, “I’m trying to get into boxing ring with him. All these people who claim they don’t like me and hip hop, you’d do him a favor. This is a legal way, nobody gotta get in trouble, you walk away with a bunch of money, and the n*** you could say you knocked me out for the rest of your life. Now if I win, it’s over.”
Furthermore, he talked about the offers he received for this fight. He said, “We got an offer, one company said a million dollars, another company, it’s the one with KSI, they came in, they said, ‘We’ll beat the last price. We’ll do a million and a half.’”
Akademiks further stated how he hasn’t received any response from Mill as of now. “He not responding though, I don’t know. I really don’t know. If you’ve been the number 1 street n*** from Philly for 10 years, you don’t want that to end with one knockout to a n*** you just called a nerd.”
Nonetheless, Mill is quite hellbent on punishing Akademiks.

In response, he called Akademiks “an alcoholic fully powered by the white man.” He then demanded the Jamaican-American internet sensation to share his address, hinting at a physical confrontation.
