In a fiery turn of events, controversial streamer Akademiks has vowed extreme retribution against West Coast rapper Ab-Soul. The dispute ignited when Ab-Soul dropped a diss track that included an ominous threat to “slap” Akademiks, prompting a fierce response.
Akademiks is known for his bold and often inflammatory online persona. Despite the backlash he’s faced in the past, he isn’t shying away from confrontation this time. On a recent livestream, he issued a chilling warning to Ab-Soul after the rapper’s diss track surfaced.
The diss track reignited tensions, especially after Ab-Soul declared, “Imma slap Akademiks when I see him.” Not one to let such a threat slide, Akademiks retaliated with his own stark warning: “If you ever raise a hand on me, it’ll be your last day on earth.” He went further, lumping Ab-Soul with late rappers Nipsey Hussle, King Von, and Tupac Shakur, saying they’d all be “having a good time” together.

Continuing the verbal sparring, Akademiks took to social media platform X, where he wrote, “Sounds amazing. Just remind that n-gga they won’t throw a funeral for him like Nipsey.” His comments, delivered with characteristic bluntness, reflect the deep hostility brewing between the two.
While Ab-Soul has yet to fire back, this escalation is a surprising twist in the ongoing series of rap beefs involving Joey Bada$$ and other West Coast artists. Joey, known for his lyrical confrontations, has repeatedly thrown down the gauntlet to Kendrick Lamar, among others. This latest development involving Akademiks and Ab-Soul adds another layer to the ongoing rivalries.
Joey Bada$$ has been vocal against several West Coast figures, including Kendrick Lamar, and has not shied away from controversial lyrics aimed at his opponents. His tracks often function as calls to battle, daring rivals to match his bravado and skill.
In the track ‘The Finals,’ Joey took transparent shots at Vaughn while hinting at his rivalry with Kendrick, illustrating the intricate web of animosities among hip-hop artists. As these tensions simmer, Akademiks and Ab-Soul’s clash stands out for its directness and potential real-world consequences.
The feud between Akademiks and Ab-Soul is a stark reminder of how quickly words can escalate into serious threats. While rap beefs are common, the intensity of their exchange highlights the volatile nature of today’s hip-hop scene. For now, the world waits to see if Ab-Soul will respond or if this will end as just another heated moment in the world of music.
