Police responded to the undisclosed address of DJ Akademik’s mansion the evening of Leap Day (Feb. 29) while the notorious hip hop commentator was in the middle of a livestream. A YouTube clip of DJ Akademiks, born Livingston Allen, begins with him referring to Meek Mill making an alarming request on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“When we squashed our issue, N**** said he’s been had my address,” DJ Akademiks said in an emotional rant. “I ain’t moved. What the f*** you go on Twitter again talking about, ‘What’s his address?’ You said you been had it!”
He continued, “Meek got online and said, ‘Send me his address, I’m pulling up to his house to shoot a music video to [use the restroom] on his steps.'”
Almost an hour into the stream, DJ Akademiks notifies the Chat that police had arrived in front of his house. Dogs could be heard barking in the background.
“I think… Meek Mill done sent the cops to my house, bro,” an angry DJ Akademiks said as he looked at the security surveillance footage.

The act of making a false report to authorities in the effort to have them inconvenience the targeted victim is known as swatting. Not only is swatting illegal, but it also exhausts resources that could be utilized in a real emergency. Several people, from politicians to music artists, have been targets of swatting incidents, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Rep. Rick Scott, Adin Ross, Nicki Minaj, and Chris Brown, to name a few.
AK’s livestream fell silent for several minutes when he left his studio to confront the police. When he returned, he revealed someone contacted the police regarding a break-in at his house. AK admits he’s not sure if Meek is the culprit of the swatting occurrence, but he feels Meek played a part in influencing whoever did make the call to 5-0.
Supporting AK’s case, Meek posted on X that he will “die to shut [Akademiks] down,” in which DJ Akademiks responded, “When you talk about asking for my address online, you talking about death.” Their infantile beef stems from AK’s unfiltered commentary on Meek over the years regarding his rap battle with Drake, failed relationship with Nicki Minaj, and now, allegations arising from a lawsuit by a former producer of Sean “Diddy” Combs.

The renewed contention between the two nemeses comes at a convenient time for the Philly-raised rapper. Meek Mill just released his new 5-track EP, Heathanism, under his independent banner DreamChasers, available now on Apple Music.
In the vein of his past music, Meek sticks to the victorious underdog theme, starting off with the momentum-building “Came from the Bottom.” His signature street battle cadence echos loudly on “Times Like This,” while Fivio Foreign offers a hand on the drill influenced “Whatever I Want,” which has potential for the production alone. Meek talks big on the boisterous, feature-free “Big Boy,” a solid showcase of Meek’s ability on the mic.
The last track, “Giving Chanel,” flairs into hip hop, rockstar territory as Meek plays with his tone over a complex, hard-hitting instrumentation. It helps that Future gives his stamp of approval — when it comes to music, where can Future go wrong? “Giving Chanel” is easily one of the best tracks on the EP.
While Meek has been a constant earache on social media, which Big AK points out in his constructive criticism of the “Going Bad” rapper as one of the reasons for his slow decline in hip hop relevancy, if Meek continues to deliver strong projects, similar to perceivably ignored artists like Chris Brown, he has the potential to thrive with the support of a loyal fanbase.
However, the latest swatting incident is sure to be another “Meek Mill Moment” added to his growing list of head-scratching incidents.
