Ebro Darden Calls Out DJ Akademiks For Being On Certain Artists' Payrolls

DJ Akademiks recently accused Ebro Darden of blackballing DaBaby after it was reported that his Baby On Baby 2 album was expected to sell under 20,000 units in its first week.

Ebro called the accusation ridiculous, which he doubled down on during a new interview with Baller Alert. The Hot 97 and Apple Music host also suggested that Ak is on rappers' payroll. 

“I don’t have that power,” said Ebro about Ak's blackballing claim. “If the fans ain’t coming to your concerts, and the fans aren’t streaming your music, the music is on every platform. If the fans really want to go stream your sh*t they type in your name and stream your sh*t."

“Akademiks has an agenda," he added. "Why is Akademiks so concerned specifically about those four artists? Ask yourself that question. Why is [Akademiks] so concerned about NBA YoungBoy, DaBaby, Tory Lanez, and Tekashi 6ix9ine? Why those four? Why? Out of all the artists. So he’s got an agenda. Or he’s on somebody’s payroll. Or both.”

Do you think there's any truth to Ebro's theory about Ak being on rappers' payroll?
