In a recent rant, DJ Akademiks accused the City Girls rapper Yung Miami of prioritizing her relationship with Sean “Diddy” Combs over her music career.
The outspoken commentator claimed that Yung Miami had given up her musical ambitions to become Diddy’s mistress, implying that her label was dissatisfied with her lack of focus.
“You stopped your music career, girl,” he began. “You stopped it. You stopped it to be a mistress. To be in that cult. You stopped it. It’s not like you were working, and Diddy didn’t fit around your schedule. You stopped it. That’s the problem. Your label was frustrated with you.”
Akademiks also criticized Miami’s rapping abilities, claiming she was overly reliant on ghostwriters and lacked the talent to sustain a successful solo career.
“She acts like, ‘Oh no, I’m doing everything that I have to do.’ Here’s the thing: You’re not talented. You could barely read. You don’t really rap, and you need to rely on ghostwriters. Your label is supposed to hold your position, but then you’re unfocused on your own career. And you then fall into a lifestyle that is bigger than what you make.
He further suggested that Yung Miami never had a genuine passion for being an artist. “Yung Miami never wanted to be an artist. If she says she wanted to be an artist before becoming famous, she’s lying. She wanted to be a poppin’.”
The DJ’s comments sparked a heated debate on social media, with fans disagreeing with his assessment of Yung Miami’s career choices. While some back Akademiks’ claims, claiming that Miami’s relationship with Diddy has overshadowed her music, others have defended the rapper, accusing him of personal attacks and misogyny.
Yung Miami has not responded publicly to Akademiks’ comments and has been in the spotlight for her music and relationship with Diddy. The couple’s romance has been a frequent topic of discussion, especially given Diddy’s lawsuits from sexual assault and human trafficking allegations.
