Amid the conversation of artists like DaBaby and Tory Lanez being blackballed in the music industry, Freddie Gibbs shared his perspective on Twitter.
On Monday (October 10), Freddie tweeted, "@Akademiks said @oldmanebro blackballin rappers when he been trying to take me out the game for 2 years lol."
Freddie is referring to DJ Akademiks tweeting, "DaBaby’s last project in 2020, Blame it on Baby, sold 124K first week. His new project after being blackballed by Ebro, Apple Music is scheduled to do less than 20K. Now yall understand my Ebro convo… DSPs control who is hot and who is not. Fall out of favor with them… UR DONE."
Ebro responded to Akademiks, denying his claims, writing, "Funny sh*t when artists get hot it is always how they built this themselves and the fans. When shit slows down it is radio, DJs, platforms, and the label. #BlameEbro is back for a whole new generation."
Following Freddie's tweets, Akademiks responded, writing, "Ya sales cut in half since u been tryna get at Big Ak. Also u got ur a** beat twice .... n***a u gotta rethink life. You Flopped and got Flipped by Jim Jones and Benny the Butcher. Pick up a stick n***a."
Akademiks added, "You Flopped cuz you got stomped out by your opp in a BBQ spot and was suppose to be gangsta.. that sh*t aint gotta do wit me fool. U gotta learn to spin a block. ya opps up 100 on u."
