Meek Mill and Akademiks‘ beef has turned potentially lucrative, with a boxing CEO offering the warring factions a chance to make $1 million.
Damon Feldman — the author of the book 16 Minute Man and the CEO of Official Celebrity Boxing — told TMZ on Friday (March 1) that he’s made all the necessary provisions for the pair to step in the ring, including booking a venue for May 18 and providing a $1 million purse for the winner, if they will take him up on his offer.

“DJ Akademiks, always starting shit — listen, man, you gotta step up,” he said. “I already have the boxing training camp for you at Gonzalez Gym. Raekwon [not the Wu-Tang Clan legend] here is going to train you. Meek Mill, he already has a trainer with Monique Jackson.”
Feldman continued: “You gotta make this happen. May 18 in Atlanta. I already talked to my guys down at King of Diamonds. They’re helping get the venue down there. Step up. Celebrity Boxing has $1 million on the table.”
The Off the Record host had previously challenged Meek to a boxing match, saying they could do it in public or private.
“[21] Savage can set it up in private, you can set it up in public,” he told fellow streamer Adin Ross. “We could get a price. He’s a bully that I think is pussy, so let’s settle it with the hands.”

Wack 100 — manager to Blueface, 6ix9ine and The Game — also slammed Meek Mill for talking to the governor of Pennsylvania about Akademiks.
In an X post, Meek had written: “The governor called me and checked me I took it down after I explain to him this the guy that powered the biggest rap beefs that killed some of my friends playing undercover.”

Wack responded on Instagram: “Am I the only one seeing this? The Governor? Explain to the Governor this man is the one responsible for WHAT? Man look kill the selective politics. @meekmill just say your a reformed civilian and keep all the STREET GANGSTA TOUGH SH!T OUT YA MOUTH.
“Nothing is wrong with being NORMAL. @akademiks gave you his address your a no show! Instead you confide in the law of the land.”
The beef between the pair kicked off following a lawsuit filed by producer Lil Rod accusing Diddy of sexual assault.
Though Meek isn’t mentioned by name, the suit refers to “a Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj” and who Diddy allegedly told Rod he “had engaged in sexual intercourse with.”

After Akademiks reacted to the explosive allegations in a Rumble stream by taunting Meek, the pair became embroiled in a lengthy and bitter back-and-forth on social media, with Meek also denying the claims.
