“Yo, I know three rappers that y’all love, like, y’all would be in turmoil if I told y’all… we’re about to talk about this D4vd guy,” Akademiks told viewers. “He was f—ing a girl who was like 14 or 15. I [know] three Chicago rappers y’all might consider ‘legends’ that was doing the same. It wasn’t for me to talk about because nobody went to the police. I don’t know if these people were true. I don’t know the story if they lied about they age, it’s not for me.”
The statement immediately raised eyebrows. Akademiks implied that three highly respected rappers from Chicago—artists he labeled “legends”—were once linked to underage girls.
His claim suggested that if their identities were revealed, the reaction among fans would be explosive. Akademiks’ information is rarely falsified.

At the same time, he distanced himself from calling out names. By stressing that no police investigations or charges were ever filed, Akademiks cast doubt on the validity of the claims. He also suggested that in some cases, underage individuals may have lied about their age. This added another layer of uncertainty to the accusations.
Still, his livestream underscores an ongoing tension in rap: the clash between insider knowledge and public accountability. Without naming names, Akademiks reignited debate over the culture’s history of silence when rumors arise but law enforcement stays absent. His remarks left fans questioning not only the specifics of the D4vd situation but also the broader responsibility hip-hop has in addressing exploitation and protecting its credibility.
