During his recent livestream, DJ Akademiks talked about Eminem’s Megan Thee Stallion lines on Slim Shady’s new single “Houdini,” from his upcoming 12th solo studio album, Th Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace).

In the song, Eminem raps: “If I was to ask for Megan Thee Stallion if she would collab with me / Would I really have a shot at a feat? (Ha!) / I don’t know, but I’m glad to be back, like Abra-abracadabra..” Em says that he would be unlikely to get a feature from Megan, while referencing her shooting incident with Tory Lanez, using a double entendre for “shot at her feet” and “shot at a feat”— an abbreviation of “feature.”¹

During the livestream, Akademiks said: “This is kind of how I always felt about, even when Drake said it and other people have made mention to it, if you don’t believe Megan got shot, I think it’s a joke but if you do believe Meg got shot, for Eminem or Drake, to make a line about it, is f–ked up. Now, if you don’t believe she got shot, it’s like ‘I don’t believe you, I’m just rapping about something that you lied about or you were not necessary ruthful. It’s not necessary a diss.” said Akademiks.¹

Then he continued: “By the way, Meg, let me tell you this. Eminem is not Nicki Minaj. Do not respond back. If anything, you could comment on this in an interview but do not rap back. Please do not rap back. Please, please, please do not rap back. You would be more sympathized if you in an interview saying ‘yeah, I was going through a lot turmoil and pain. I was crying every night and here comes this white man wo don’t really rap. He just start rapping about getting shot in the foot as a joke¹.’ That will work more than you trying to rap back at Em. Because if you rap back at Em, it’s all fair game and we all know what Em is down for. Em is a ni–a who had bunch of classic moments. Classic man. You gotta realize this guys is the guy! This ni–a is the GOAT. Eminem will always be a legend. That ni–a introduced Stan as a f–king noun in hip-hop. Shout out to Em.” You can watch the livestream below:
