DJ Akademiks shares his thoughts on the reactions to Rich Homie Quan’s death, raising questions about the authenticity of some artists’ responses.
- Rich Homie Quan’s career spanned over a decade, and he was known for consistently releasing music.
- Many in the hip-hop community have commented on the impact of Quan’s legacy.
- DJ Akademiks compared the reactions to Quan’s death to the reactions following PnB Rock’s passing.
- There is speculation that some artists’ public grief may not be genuine.
Rich Homie Quan spent more than ten years in the music industry, always crafting new tunes. Even though he had his peak years, he kept releasing music that showed his creative spirit.
After his death, many in the hip-hop community have spoken about how his legacy may change. However, some believe that these reactions are not entirely genuine.
DJ Akademiks shared his thoughts on this topic during a livestream. He noted a similarity between how people reacted to Quan’s death and the passing of another rapper, PnB Rock.
Akademiks said that he had interviews with artists like PnB Rock, where they shared their true feelings off-camera. These off-camera conversations often revealed that the public expressions of grief were not always sincere.
“I got the same feeling during my interview with PnB Rock,” DJ Akademiks said. “He told me that the ones crying the most publicly were the ones who didn’t support him when he was alive.”
Akademiks explained that many Atlanta rappers who expressed grief over Quan’s death had not been supportive of him while he was alive. He quoted Quan saying, “All these Atlanta n***as, oh, they just now started feeling it’s cool to f**k with me.”
He also mentioned that Quan had confided in him about the insincerity of some artists. According to Akademiks, Quan felt that these artists only showed public support now that it was too late.
Despite these revelations, Akademiks chose not to name names. He emphasized that while it might be tempting to call out these artists, it wasn’t his place to do so.
DJ Akademiks’ comments highlight the complex and sometimes insincere nature of relationships in the music industry.
