DJ Akademiks is no stranger to controversy, but his most recent ban from Twitch has garnered significant attention. On January 28, 2025, Twitch announced that it was suspending the popular content creator following allegations of grooming. The incident that led to the ban occurred just a few days earlier, on January 23, during a live broadcast in which DJ Akademiks interacted with NourGXD, a 15-year-old streamer.
The allegations quickly gained traction online, with many expressing concern over the nature of Akademiks’ comments during the stream. The interaction between the two raised red flags, and the accusations of grooming soon followed. In response to Twitch’s decision, DJ Akademiks acknowledged the ban and expressed his commitment to working with the platform to resolve the situation. He made it clear that he respects Twitch’s enforcement policies but has also decided to continue his streaming career on other platforms, including Rumble, Meta, and YouTube.
