In the tangled web of social media, feuds between celebrities are not uncommon. However, the recent spat between rapper Meek Mill and media personality DJ Akademiks has grabbed headlines over the last few days in particular. However, the saga reached a new height recently as Meek Mill finally decided to block DJ Akademiks on X. Marking what could be the end of this bitter feud. The feud began innocuously enough, with Akademiks linking Meek Mill to a lawsuit involving Diddy, which understandably irked the Philly rapper. This connection spiraled into a series of online arguments and exchanges that played out publicly on Twitter. Meek Mill found himself repeatedly addressing his connection to the lawsuit, something that clearly frustrated him.
Moreover, the tension escalated over the weekend as the two exchanged heated words on Twitter, with threats of physical confrontation and offers for collaboration turning into personal attacks. Akademiks, known for his provocative commentary, did not hold back, continuing to bring up Meek Mill's involvement in the lawsuit, particularly the allegations regarding his connection to Diddy. Moreover, the situation reached a boiling point when Meek Mill issued what appeared to be a threat towards Akademiks, expressing his intention to go live and implying consequences if anything were to happen to him. In response, Akademiks called upon his followers to write letters to the Pennsylvania governor, criticizing Meek Mill's character and actions.
This call to action, while reflective of Akademiks' trolling nature, highlights the toxicity of online feuds. And the potential real-world consequences they can have. It also highlights the power dynamics at play in social media interactions. As of now, the outcome of Akademiks' campaign to discredit Meek Mill remains unclear. However, what is evident is that this feud has exposed the darker side of social media. Personal vendettas can spill over into real life with potentially serious ramifications.
Furthermore, regardless of the outcome, Meek's decision to block DJ Akademiks signifies a possible end to this bitter chapter. While online conflicts may come and go, Meek clearly isn't feeding into it anymore. As celebrities and influencers continue to navigate the complexities of social media, it is essential to remember the human cost of online Twitter fingers. What do you think about Meek blocking Akademiks? Do you think the feud is really over?
Lizzo has responded to fat-shamers online.
The Grammy-winning artist went on her official Instagram page to call out people making jokes about her body.
“Today I came across a fat joke about me in 2025 and it was going viral,” she wrote alongside a photo of herself relaxing in a yellow and black snakeskin bikini.
“It was a silly joke and they were laughing at me simply because I’m fat. Let me remind everyone to never let anyone make you feel bad for what you decide to do with your own body. When you are bigger, they talk st. When you are smaller, they talk st. Your body will never be enough for them because it is not meant for them. It is meant for you.”
The About Damn Time singer has faced body-shaming comments throughout her entire mainstream pop career.
Earlier this year, during an appearance on the Just Trish podcast, Lizzo shared that she tried Ozempic but eventually chose to focus on changing her diet as part of her personal weight loss journey.
“If I get a BBL, mind ur business. If I lose 100lbs, mind ur business. If I gain every pound back and then some, mind ur f**king business,” she wrote at the end of her caption.
“Anyways, my fat ass stays living with a paid-off mortgage in y’all b**ches heads.”
Lizzo’s message to her critics comes shortly after she drew attention for a Substack essay she posted titled Cancel Me (Again): A ‘Cancelled’ Woman’s Take on Why Everyone Should Get Cancelled at Least Once.
“Not everybody liked my most recent essay and that is exactly why I wrote it,” she said in a follow up post.
“I deserve the freedom to express myself like anyone else. I am human and I have earned the right to be wrong, to be prickly and even unlikable sometimes. It feels freeing for someone like me who used to be a chronic people pleaser. Thank you for the comments and the criticism. I welcome all of it.”
