Early Life & Education

Livingston Allen, a.k.a DJ Akademiks, was born on May 17, 1991, in Spanish Town, Jamaica, but moved to New York City when he was 10 years old in 2001. Being a shy child, he struggled to fit in at his new school and culture. 

He mainly hung out with a small group of Jamaican friends during this time and developed a deep love for hip-hop music. He enrolled at Rutgers University in New Jersey, earning a bachelor’s degree in biomathematics. 

DJ Akademiks persisted in taking classes after graduation to earn a master’s degree in mathematical finance. 

Career

When he was still in school, DJ Akademiks started writing blogs on rap forums to deal with the cultural shock of relocating from Jamaica to the United States. After enrolling at Rutgers University, he took things a step further by trying his hand at music production, but the effort was unsuccessful because of a lack of adequate networking. 

He started working as a DJ for his campus radio on Saturday nights around this time, which helped him gain confidence. As a result of his success, DJ Akademiks started getting requests to DJ for neighborhood barbecue parties and events. 

He frequently posted photos and videos from these events to his social media accounts. His online presence, as a result, helped him receive offers from throughout the state of New Jersey. For the next two years, he continued to DJ for radio and events, but DJ Akademiks then decided to host his website, Late Night Creep, to unveil the latest information regards the hip-hop industry. 

He transformed the website into a fully-fledged hip-hop blog with a significant readership in less than a year. As his website’s popularity increased, he expanded the range of subjects he covered, published his own opinions, and even started discussing high-profile feuds. DJ Akademiks founded the YouTube channel LateNightCreepVids in October 2012 to publish satirical news videos about the entertainment industry, focusing on hip-hop. 

He quickly published interviews with well-known figures in the world of entertainment news, like Ms. Drama and Charlamagne Tha God. But his fame soared after he posted over 600 videos documenting an incident at the 2015 Summer Jam Fest Jersey that resulted in 61 people being detained.

Fans regard his channel as one of the most trustworthy and dependable sources of hip-hop news. 

Controversies

DJ Akademiks recently found himself in the center of a heated debate after a competing hip-hop website, hiphopoverload.com, asserted in late November 2018 that he is the secret informant who is assisting federal agents in their investigation of rapper 6ix9ine for racketeering. 

According to a blog post by Kifano Jordan, nicknamed Shotti, the attorney for 6ix9ine‘s previous manager, DJ Akademiks, was the informant. It also referred to him as the false BFF who turned informant to avoid being charged with federal obstruction of justice, which could have resulted in a minimum five-year prison sentence. 

After the accusations, DJ Akademiks asserted his innocence in the case in an exclusive interview with TMZ, saying he had never been questioned or much less cooperated in this and thought the defendants were decent people.

Scott Leemon, Shotti‘s attorney, brazenly denied providing interviews about the matter incriminating anyone in a statement also published by TMZ. Despite this, DJ Akademiks could not escape criticism online because people kept accusing him of publishing material on his blog and YouTube channel that might have implicated the defendant.

He frequently posted odd things to Instagram and dropped names during Twitch streams, which didn’t help. 

Personal Life

DJ Akademiks recently got into a heated argument on Twitch with Dominican glamour model and social media star Angelica Ggx.

DJ Akademiks has dated celebrities like Angelica Ggx (2017-2018), Nadeska Alexis, Cuban Doll, Celina Powell (2017) and DreamDoll.

Net Worth

The estimated net worth of DJ Akademiks is $7 million. He is a well-known musician and one of the best content producers in the entertainment sector.
