“Jay’s a cold n**ga”— DJ Akademiks seemingly praises Jay Z in earlier livestream

In a December 17 livestream, DJ Akademiks praised Jay Z for denying any friendship with Diddy, who is currently facing s*x trafficking charges. DJ Akademiks stated:

“One thing I mind about Jay Z, I told you, Jay’s a cold n***a and I like that about him. Yo, you n***as caught tight, this be the Black community… Jay’s my mess. Yo, one thing I f*ck with Jay for is a cold n***a, a cutthroat assassin. Okay?”

This comes after Spiro denied Jay Z being associated with Diddy. Spiro said in an official statement to US Weekly on December 16:

“Mr. Carter has nothing to do with Mr. Combs’ case or Mr. Combs. They knew each other professionally for a number of years. Just like in all professions, people know each other. At the music awards, they support each other. If you go to the NBA All-Star game, they support each other. That’s just how professions work. There is no closer association between any of them. That’s also a matter of fiction.”

Jay Z vehemently denied the r*pe allegations in an official statement through his label, Roc Nation. Diddy has also denied the allegations made by the victim as he remains behind bars.
