The influencer and entrepreneur recently hopped online to check the hip-hop commentator after a clip from one of his livestreams started making the rounds on social media. In the now-viral video, Akademiks spoke on rumors about Ari and Lil Baby<\/a> sparked by Jayda Cheaves, claiming he didn\u2019t think the speculation was that far-fetched.<\/p>\n

While discussing the situation, Akademiks doubled down on his opinion and made some pretty wild claims about Ari\u2019s dating history. According to him, she\u2019s known for dealing with multiple rappers in the industry, which led him to make some disrespectful remarks about her.<\/p>\n

At one point during the stream, he went as far as calling Ari \u201ccommunity p***y,\u201d while claiming \u201ceverybody\u201d in Atlanta had been involved with her.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody f*** Ari. I\u2019m talking about the popping rappers. Half of Atlanta f*** Ari. This is just what it is,\u201d Akademiks said during the livestream.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t take long for that clip to start circulating across social media, and Ari wasted no time stepping in to shut things down.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the video started trending, Ari took to X (formerly Twitter) with a message that made it clear she\u2019s not brushing this off. Instead of trading insults online, she hinted that she may be taking things a lot further.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want everybody to pay very close attention to what I\u2019m about to do to @Akademiks,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI let y\u2019all play for way too long but you KEEP defaming my character. I\u2019m taking it to hell. I hope that streaming money tucked b***h cause I\u2019m coming!\u201d<\/p>\n

The situation has already sparked plenty of reactions online, with many fans calling out Akademiks for the comments and others debating whether public figures should expect this kind of speculation in hip-hop media spaces.<\/p>\n

Still, a lot of people pointed out the timing too. It\u2019s Women\u2019s History Month, and the internet had plenty to say about a woman\u2019s name getting dragged through the mud over rumors and speculation.<\/p>\n

Either way, Ari Fletcher made one thing crystal clear: if you\u2019re going to speak on her name, you better be ready to stand on it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
