DJ Akademiks receives ban from Twitch days after grooming allegations emerged

DJ Akademiks is an internet personality often known for creating content revolving around the music industry, specifically in the hip-hop genre. He is often seen providing commentary and his opinions on news and drama involving music artists and celebrities during his broadcasts.

The reason behind DJ Akademiks' ban from the platform has not been officially revealed so far. However, his recent interaction with a 15-year-old Twitch streamer is being speculated by some to be a contributing factor. The streamer has since addressed this controversy, taking "responsibility" for the act and stating that he should "do better."

However, this is not the first time DJ Akademiks has received a ban from the platform. He was also banned in October 2024 for reasons yet undisclosed. Many at the time assumed that it was due to him hosting Kick streamer Adin Ross, who has been indefinitely banned from Twitch.
