DJ Akademiks Talks About The Heated Exchange He Had With Vic Mensa [VIDEO]

by Daryl Nelson

DJ Akademiks spoke about the heated argument he had with Vic Mensa a couple of days ago. If you missed it, the rapper stopped by the show Everyday Struggle and accused Ak of clowning some of the people who've been murdered in Chicago.

"I wanted to slap you in the face," said Mensa. "I really felt as if people exactly like you sensationalized and made a following off of clowning situations we go through in real life."

Here's what Akademiks said on the latest episode of Everyday Struggle about that exchange:

"I am never above an artist who may have a difference of opinion on either what I've said or what I've said about them, to come up here and voice it. That's the reason we have guests," he said. "When Vic Mensa was here, I could have easily glanced over and went past that but that was a point of discussion, when I have discussed this a lot and know he's been outspoken about it. So I wanted to know how he felt ... He said what he had to say. I think it's important."
Then on Instagram, Akademiks explained himself further and said he never tried to make light of the murders in Chicago.

What do you think about his apology?
