Amassing more than 1.5 million followers on Twitter/X, more than 2.8 million subscribers on YouTube, and 500,000 followers on Twitch, where he regularly shares his thoughts about the music industry. Internet personality, podcaster, and modern-day Wendy Williams of Hip-Hop, DJ Akademiks, deleted his Instagram after he was accused of sexual assault and defamation in a lawsuit filed on Monday.
DJ Akademiks, also known by his legal name Livingston Allen, faces accusations made by Fauziya Abashe, who claims he raped her at his New Jersey home in 2022 after she was drugged and raped by two of his friends. Unexpectedly, DJ Akademiks had not addressed these rumors on any social media platforms of his, as he’s been recorded in numerous instances of being verbally abusive towards women, which assumingely could potentially detriment his case during this legal matter.
Abashe’s Statement
In her complaint submitted to the Superior Court of New Jersey, Abashe recounted her acquaintance with Allen in 2021 via social media, detailing their occasional dates. Abashe, who works as a writer from Pennsylvania, mentioned her periodic visits to Allen’s residence before the purported incident. She stated that she also harbored no suspicions of malevolent motives when Allen invited her to his home in July 2022.
“I’m confident that justice will prevail and the veil will be removed so no other woman will have to endure what I did,” Abashe said in a statement through her lawyer.
Further Claims of the Incident
According to the lawsuit, she reported what happened to police, who performed a rape kit on her. However, it is unclear whether criminal charges were filed, but Allen said he wasn’t at risk of being arrested. Abashe also accused Allen of defamation after he discussed the incident on social media around December 2023.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the allegations against DJ Akademiks, the controversy has yet to unfold. The truth and fairness will undoubtedly be essential in determining the path forward for all parties involved.
