DJ Akademiks accused Akaash Singh’s wife of isolating the comedian from Andrew Schulz and other longtime friends. He claimed Singh now appears unhappy after leaving the Flagrant podcast. This kind of situation hits different when you’re watching someone’s whole vibe shift.
During a recent livestream, Akademiks reacted to Akaash unfollowing Schulz, Charlamagne Tha God and Akademiks on social media. The internet has been buzzing about Flagrant podcast drama for a minute now, and this unfollowing move had people talking.
“Right now, you got no male friends,” Akademiks said. “That’s classic manipulation 101.”
Akaash had been missing from Flagrant for months before the show announced that he was stepping away. He didn’t appear for an on-air farewell, leaving fans to speculate about his relationship with Schulz and the rest of the team. That kind of silence speaks volumes, you know?
Akademiks said he was not asking Akaash to return to the podcast or repair every friendship. Sometimes a curated reading list of life lessons is what we all need when navigating complicated relationships.
“Don’t cut people off and look unhappy,” he said, speaking directly to Akaash. “You either cut shorty off and find some happiness, or if you say you’re going to pick her and cut the homies off, at least look happy, bro.”
Akademiks also addressed Akaash directly after realizing he had been unfollowed. The comment felt like it came from a place of genuine care, even if it was aired out publicly.
“Kaash, I love you. I’m not going to unfollow you,” he said, later adding, “You don’t got to get back cool with Schulz. I just want to see you look like you’re happy, bro. That’s it.” Real ones know when to speak up about what they see, especially when it comes to freedom struggle within your own circle—the freedom to be yourself and live authentically without losing the people who matter.
