Roddy Ricch has been having a tough time with trolls and critics lately. The Compton rap star released his second studio album, LIVE LIFE FAST, which got dragged by fans, and he later followed that up with new music snippets. Unfortunately, people sang the same tune and reduced Roddy’s latest musical efforts as lackluster.
The Grammy Award-winning rapper deleted his Twitter amidst all the responses from fans regarding the snippets, but Roddy is getting some support from an unlikely friend. On Saturday (February 5), Akademiks took to his Twitter to defend Roddy Ricch from all the people calling him a mid-level artist these days while also explaining why things have gone sour.
“Roddy Ricch just need to get back on grind mode.. and its hard for artists to do after they’ve had hella success…,” Akademiks wrote. “Nobody loves you that much to wait 3 years for project. Feed the skreets.. OFTEN..or watch them turn on u word to NBA YOUNGBOY. unless u kendrick, frank ocean etc.”

Niggas was spamming 'Kodak is mid' when he just got out last year after being pardoned by Trump.. He kept dropping almost every 2 weeks. by the end of the year.. Super Gremlin damn near turned into the biggest hip hop song and ppl forgot they were calling YAK mid.

The only difference is how you handle when fans start crying out 'Mid'.
Niggas probably forgot when they tried to switch up on Uzi for 'mid' snippets and EA first version at one point then that nigga dropped 70 in the second half and we only talk about how he won the game.— DJ Akademiks (@Akademiks) February 6, 2022
