Meek Mill Tells Parents To Block DJ Akademiks After Grooming Incident Goes Viral
'If [you're] a parent go get ya kids phone and block this man, he's grooming children with a very large platform that 'kids' like,' Meek, 37, tweeted after a clip of the inappropriate conversation went viral. 'Also attempts to ruin black families and black success daily, 'VILLAN IN THE VILLAGE.'' His words captioned a screenshot of him preparing to block Ak on his own phone. See the post below.
Meek and Ak's tension date back to 2017 when, according to Akademiks, Meek took issue with him not promoting Meek's Wins & Losses album on his platform. 'Meek, he didn't appreciate I didn't post his album,' he explained on a 2017 episode of Everyday Struggle. 'However, it was really confusing to me 'cause about six months ago, Meek had sent me a DM. Him and the rest of the 'Chasers, they gave me a little digital jump and a light one. They said, 'Listen, either post us this way or don't post us at all.''
Ak went on to say that Meek and his Chasers crew later threatened him, resulting in him refusing to post Meek at all. 'Next thing I'm seeing, they were threatening me,' Ak said at the time. ''When I see him, I'ma gonna give him a wedgie, I'ma slap him.' I'm like, 'Oh shit! I think I'm posting them wrong.' So, I stopped posting them.'
Meek later attempted to get Ak cancelled in June of 2020, tweeting that the streamer is responsible for gassing up beefs that resulted in a loss of life.
'Akademiks canceled because he's a bad police and our culture don't need them… he also gassed a lot of beef that got people killed and hurt and never donated a dollar to the culture! We gon holla at you next run champ lol.'
Six months later, Meek and Ak went head-to-head on the Clubhouse app, exchanging harsh words until 21 Savage began to mediate the out-of-control conversation. The pair have continued to go back-and-forth since, with no sign of resolution in sight.
Akademiks' most recent incident found the streamer making inappropriate remarks to a 15-year-old boy during a session on fellow streamer PlaqueBoyMax's channel, including asking about his sex life and offering to perform a sexual act on the minor. Ak — who was previously accused of rape — was immediately faced with accusations of grooming, later admitting to his crass behavior.
'I've done a lot of bulls**t up in this game,' he said. 'Trust me. I've got mine off. This issue aside – which, again. I am wrong. I will be better. This is a teachable moment. For me, obviously, I got to watch my speech. That's clear. […] Definitely a regrettable moment, and we're going to use it as a teachable moment. Because I don't think I've came this far, built this platform, to be that irresponsible, right?'

Gender reveal party turned deadly when DC man opened fire, killing one, feds say
A man attending a gender reveal party in Washington, D.C., grabbed an 'AK-style rifle' from his backpack and shot two people also at the celebration, killing a 21-year-old who tried to flee, federal prosecutors said. Now, more than three years later, Nyjell Outler, 22, has been sentenced to 24 years and six months in prison over the 2021 shooting, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia announced in an Aug. 18 news release. Outler, of D.C., was found guilty in March of voluntary manslaughter while armed and aggravated assault while armed by a D.C. Superior Court jury, prosecutors said. His criminal defense attorney, Thomas A. Key, did not immediately return McClatchy News' request for comment Aug. 19. Ahead of Outler's Aug. 15 sentencing hearing, Key and his co-counsel, Gemma Stevens, argued Outler opened fire to protect himself at the gender reveal March 20, 2021, D.C. Witness reported. At the party at a home on Madison Street, about a 5-mile drive northeast from the White House, Outler had been 'hanging out' in a driveway and spoke with other attendees, according to prosecutors. Within an hour of him arriving at about 7:43 p.m., he temporarily left before returning to the driveway, prosecutors said. When he came back, Outler was holding the 'Draco' firearm at his right side, according to prosecutors. Three other men, Johnson, Daloni Williams and a third person were in the driveway at the time. That is when 'Daloni Williams took a couple steps toward (Outler) with his arm extended, as if to say, 'put that away,'' prosecutors said. Outler shot Williams twice, 'point-blank' in his legs in response, according to prosecutors. He then turned and fired two shots at Johnson and another 'young' man, as they tried to escape, prosecutors said. Johnson was struck in the back by one of the bullets, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. He died in the backyard of where the party was held. Williams, who survived the shooting and needed emergency surgery for his leg, was in the hospital for nine days, prosecutors said. His hospital stay was followed by months of physical therapy. Dozens of partygoers were inside and outside the house when Outler shot Johnson and Williams, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. Outler, who fled the gender reveal, had on a GPS monitor due to a prior his arrest stemming from an earlier 'Draco' possession charge from February 2021, prosecutors said. He cut off the GPS monitor and remained a fugitive for nearly a year until an anonymous tip led law enforcement to Florida, where he was arrested in February 2022, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. In Outler's defense, Stevens argued at trial that there was 'a lot of speculation and finger pointing,' according to a report from D.C. Witness. She also contended, citing video evidence, that Outler had been surrounded moments before shots were fired, and Johnson 'had his hand in his coat pocket, where responders found a firearm after the shooting,' the outlet reported. Prosecutors, however, argued Outler was never threatened, and the shooting was intentional, according to D.C. Witness. The prosecution team had asked the court to sentence Outler to 35 years in prison, before judge Jason Park issued his 24.5-year sentence, the U.S. Attorney's Office said. In seeking a higher sentence, the government detailed Outler's criminal history, which also includes armed assaults 'a misdemeanor sex offense (he) is reported to have perpetrated since being brought back to Washington, D.C. from Florida,' prosecutors said. While on the run, Outler was on the U.S. Marshals Service Top 15 most wanted list.

Wyoming airman accused of manslaughter after fatal shooting
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — A second airman in a month at a U.S. Air Force base in Wyoming stands accused of involuntary manslaughter for a shooting death. F.E. Warren Air Force Base Airman First Class Jadan Orr, 20, remained jailed on Monday after he allegedly shot a man in a Cheyenne apartment early Saturday, according to police and sheriff's officials. Orr and several friends had been drinking at the apartment for most of the night when Orr and two others went into another room and Orr began handling an AK-47 rifle, according to a Cheyenne Police Department statement. Orr allegedly fired the weapon through a wall, hitting the 23-year-old in the torso. Police arrived to find several people outside trying to help the man, who died at the scene, the statement added. Orr was charged with involuntary manslaughter, according to Laramie County Circuit Court. He did not have an attorney on file to comment on his behalf. Neither Cheyenne police nor the Laramie County coroner had publicly identified the victim as of Monday. Police referred questions about the victim's identity to Coroner Rebecca Reid, who did not immediately return a phone message. Officials at the base just outside Cheyenne announced on Aug. 12 that an airman had been arrested on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter, obstructing justice and making a false statement in connection with the July 20 shooting death of another airman. The victim was identified as Brayden Lovan, 21, of the 90th Security Forces Squadron, 90th Missile Wing. The shooting led the U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command to suspend use of Sig Sauer's M18 handgun. The weapon has been the subject of lawsuits in which plaintiffs allege the gun is susceptible to firing without the trigger being pulled. Other military branches have continued to use the gun. Unlike in the latest case, the airman stood accused in military, as opposed to civilian, court. The Air Force had not yet released the identity of the accused airman and other details of the earlier shooting, saying Monday it was still under investigation.
