A brief stint away from Twitch for Akademiks kicks off much buzz.
- Akademiks’ Twitch channel was temporarily suspended after a stream featuring Adin Ross.
- The ban wasn’t about adult content but Adin Ross, who is banned from Twitch.
- Fans saw this as a guideline breach since banned streamers can’t appear on Twitch.
- Akademiks announced he’ll be on YouTube until his Twitch returns.
Twitch viewers were in for a surprise as Akademiks’ channel went dark temporarily. The reason? A collaboration with Adin Ross, who was permanently banned from the platform back in February 2023. Despite the presence of OnlyFans creators Gucci Third Leg and Danae Davis, it was Ross’s appearance that violated Twitch’s strict guidelines.
The guidelines clearly state that banned creators are not allowed to make appearances on other streams. Akademiks, aware of the rules, was reportedly warned multiple times about streaming with Ross. Despite this, he went ahead, prompting a 72-hour suspension from the platform. He acknowledged the ban on social media, expressing his understanding of Twitch’s decision.
During this brief Twitch hiatus, Akademiks will be taking his talents to YouTube. He shared the news with a bit of humor, maintaining his usual candid approach while giving a nod to his Twitch partner manager. He seemed unfazed, accepting the temporary setback.
Add to this, recent controversies kept Akademiks in the headlines. A recent online spat with producer ATL Jacob saw both personalities trading barbs on social media. Jacob criticized Akademiks, while Ak accused Jacob of “gossiping” about artists like Future and Drake. The feud escalated, with Jacob challenging Ak to provide proof of the alleged gossip.
The quarrel centered around comments made during an interview on Akademiks’ “Off the Record” podcast. Despite the heated exchange, both remained in their respective corners, with Jacob daring Ak with a hefty cash offer to back his gossip claims. Ak, sticking to his guns, later shared the details on Rumble.
Akademiks’ adventures in streaming and Twitter spats certainly keep the community buzzing with anticipation.
