DJ Akademiks has once again stirred social media into a frenzy, this time after posting a selfie with Chrisean Rock at NBA YoungBoy’s show in New York City over the weekend.
The streamer and media personality shared the picture on his Instagram Story, later reposting it on Twitter with the caption: “Free Blueface.” The duck-faced selfie, paired with Rock’s puzzled expression, immediately sparked speculation and memes across timelines.
Blueface connection
Blueface, Rock’s ex and the father of her child, remains behind bars for probation violations. Given Akademiks’ history of taking shots at Blueface online, fans quickly saw the post as a subtle jab at the California rapper.
Fan reactions
The image left fans divided, with some suggesting Ak and Chrisean looked a little too close, while others dismissed it as trolling. Either way, the picture went viral, further fueling gossip around Rock’s messy personal life.
Chrisean Rock’s ongoing drama
Rock has had her share of recent controversies, including a hotel incident with her on-and-off boyfriend HoodTrophy Bino, which involved police and Child Protective Services after kids appeared on their Instagram Live. The couple reportedly received a $1,000 fine for smoking indoors.
At the same time, Chrisean continues to clash publicly with Blueface’s family, her own relatives, and the constant storm of social media commentary.
DJ Akademiks on the media grind
While his selfie with Rock dominated headlines, Akademiks also reacted to news that rappers Jim Jones, Maino, Fabolous, and Dave East are launching a podcast together. On stream, Ak claimed:
“Rap game is completely cooked. Ain’t no money in music. […] There’s no money for the middle-order guys. It’s complete famine.”
Whether the link-up with Rock was just trolling or something more, Akademiks has once again kept himself at the center of hip-hop conversation.
