DJ Akademiks reignites feud with Lil Baby, calling Atlanta rappers like Gucci Mane, Young Thug, and Gunna “rat rappers” after leaked diss track surfaces.
- June 10, 2026
AceShowbiz - DJ Akademiks has reignited his ongoing feud with Lil Baby and expanded his criticism to include other prominent Atlanta rappers, labeling them as "rat rappers." This latest wave of conflict came shortly after a leaked video clip surfaced where Lil Baby referred to Akademiks as an informant for law enforcement.
The controversy escalated on June 8, 2026, when the leaked snippet showed Lil Baby filming a music video in France and rapping derogatory lines about Akademiks. In response, Akademiks took to social media platform X to denounce not only Lil Baby but also other Atlanta artists like Gucci Mane, Young Thug, and Gunna, accusing them all of being informants and calling out their loyalty.
In a series of posts, Akademiks mockingly assigned nicknames to the rappers, referring to Gucci Mane as "Detective Gucci," Young Thug as "Lieutenant Young Thug," and Lil Baby as "Sergeant Lil Baby." He emphasized that he would not tolerate being labeled a snitch by any of them and warned that he would expose their alleged ratting before allowing such accusations to stand.
To underscore his point, Akademiks shared a photo featuring Gucci Mane, Young Thug, and Lil Baby. In the image, Young Thug is humorously holding a piece of cheese, while Gucci Mane is holding a prop gun labeled "Rat Poison." Akademiks captioned the photo with a jab comparing the trio to the "Ninja Turtles," highlighting his belief that these artists are the worst offenders in Atlanta's rap scene.
This back-and-forth comes amid ongoing tensions between Akademiks and Atlanta's rap community, with the streamer vowing to continue calling out those he perceives as disloyal or untrustworthy. The feud reflects broader divisions in hip hop, where issues of authenticity and street credibility often ignite public disputes.
As the situation develops, fans and observers are watching closely to see if this conflict will escalate further or lead to any resolutions. With major figures like Lil Baby, Gucci Mane, Young Thug, and Gunna involved, the drama is likely to remain a hot topic in hip hop circles for the foreseeable future.
