On Tuesday, May 14, social media erupted when it was reported that DJ Akademiks was hit with a rape and defamation lawsuit by his ex-girlfriend, Fauziya Abashe, who accused the social media personality and two of his friends of drugged and raped. .
Although Akademiks remained mum for most of the day, she eventually took to his channel and addressed the situation. “Whatever this is will be dealt with in the courtroom.” Proclaiming his innocence, while calling the lawsuit a “civil situation” and adding, “It's a shakedown. This is a money tree situation.” DJ Akademiks didn't seem too concerned about the outcome of this lawsuit, as he's basically discussed it before on his channel.
He also cited the fact that when the alleged incident occurred, he gave the security footage to the police, who then determined there was no evidence of wrongdoing.
“I'm not even hiding from a situation or escaping the narrative of what happened. I said almost everything, and I also told the truth,” he said. “The police came, look, we gave them everything. Almost everything is documented, captured on videotape. They had to see it with their own two eyes. We are officially in the clear, we could not prosecute. [I] they are not criminally responsible, but anyone else in the situation was also cleared.”
He also brought up the fact that Abashe hired Tyrone Blackburn, who Akademiks has been talking about since he filed a lawsuit against P. Diddy on Lil Rod's behalf. Feeling that Blackburn had it in for him, Akademiks thinks this is just more proof that the whole lawsuit is just one big money grab, as they've been working on this case for months before finally pulling the trigger.
Regardless of who you think is telling the truth here, one thing's for sure, DJ Akademiks doesn't seem bothered by the lawsuit and says he'd rather pay more to clear his name than let the case go as it was. to make him look guilty.
