Wack 100 is pushing back after DJ Akademiks accused him of taking money from Blueface, calling the claim flat-out wrong and rooted in confusion about how record deals actually work.
During a recent appearance on the No Jumper podcast, the veteran music manager addressed the allegation head-on, insisting Akademiks misunderstood the business structure behind Blueface’s deal.
“Blueface was signed to Cash Money West,” Wack said. “Cash Money West is owned by Birdman. I just oversaw that division. What are you talking about?”
Wack explained that advances paid to artists do not land in a manager’s pocket. “If Blueface gets a $250,000 cash advance from the label, that’s his money,” he said. “I don’t get none of that. I still gotta go do everything else that needs to get done for the project.”
The manager added that he reached out to Akademiks privately to correct the record, but claims the media personality has avoided responding. “I thought we were cool,” Wack said. “He knows I’ve never done a contract like that.”
While Wack believed there was no tension between them, Blueface’s relationship with Akademiks has been strained for years. The rapper recently warned artists against taking advice from the streamer, accusing him of constantly changing his stance. Akademiks quickly fired back, reminding Blueface that he once gave him the same advice.
“People just start talking,” Wack went on to say. “And that’s how this started.”
