DJ Akademiks has reportedly been banned from Twitch following controversy over inappropriate sexual remarks made toward a 15-year-old minor. On Tuesday (Jan. 28), users noticed that his Twitch profile was no longer accessible, instead displaying a message stating, “Sorry. Unless you’ve got a time machine, that content is unavailable.”

As speculation swirled online, the Akademiks TV account claimed that the ban was only temporary and stemmed from him calling Adin Ross—who is permanently banned from Twitch—on stream to verify a donation claim. However, many users were skeptical, with one bluntly responding, “Bullsh*t. It’s because he’s a pedophile asking a 15-year-old boy if he’s ready to be penetrated.” Another user even shared a screenshot suggesting the ban might be permanent.

The controversy began after a video surfaced showing Akademiks engaging in a sexually inappropriate conversation with a 15-year-old streamer named Nour. In the clip, the Off the Record host is heard saying, “You’re telling me there’s not another 15-year-old you could buss down?” among other remarks.
Following the backlash, Akademiks acknowledged his behavior but attempted to downplay the situation. “I’ve done a lot of bulls**t up in this game,” he admitted. “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?”

Despite his response, many were not satisfied. Meek Mill, one of Akademiks’ longtime critics, urged parents to block his content to protect their children. “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. “Also attempts to ruin Black families and Black success daily, ‘VILLAIN IN THE VILLAGE.’” His tweet included a screenshot showing him preparing to block Akademiks on his own phone.
As outrage continues to grow, Twitch has yet to officially confirm whether Akademiks’ ban is permanent.
