Freddie Gibbs Speaks On His Beef With Jeezy & DJ Akademiks

by HHL JT

Freddie Gibbs has been going back and forth with Jeezy and DJ Akademiks for a while.

He takes one of those beefs more to heart than the other.

“I was more hurt than anything,” he said of Gibbs in an iterview with Vulture. “That’s what it feel like when one of your favorite rappers gets at you like that. I think that he see where I’m at now, and then he looks back at that sh*t, and he regrets it. I don’t say I regret nothing. But it’s better ways I could have handled things with him, maybe talked it out and communicated better. Maybe it could have worked out.

“I don’t have beef with him like other people may. I think it was just two guys who didn’t communicate correctly," he said, speaking on the time he was signed to Jeezy. "He had a vision, and I had my vision, and we just couldn’t come to a common agreement. I don’t hate the man or anything of that nature, not at all. At one point, I looked up to him. And I still respect everything that he did musically. I still listen to his music. So, like I said, man, maybe one day, who knows?

As for Ak ...

“Good old Akademiks,” he said. “The whole thing was corny. I just feel like certain guys like that, their opinion don’t really matter. Why are we even listening to a guy like this? How did he get on? Twitch? He not a DJ. I ain’t got no problem with the kid. I seen that kid one day in L.A. before all of this started. And when I tapped him on the shoulder, he was hella spooked."

Would rather see Gibbs and Jeezy get on together, or Gibbs tap Ak a little harder?
