DJ Akademiks has signed an exclusive live-streaming deal with Rumble, Yahoo Finance reports. Akademiks’ new contract with the right-wing video-sharing platform will see him go live three to five days out of the week on the medium.
Continuing his usual content of Hip-Hop coverage and analysis of the culture, the Jamaican-American pundit is set to offer “satirical takes on top headlines.” Ak spoke about the new deal, where he claimed he signed with Rumble for their “creator first” strategy.
“I look forward to being one of the first to bring music and cultural conversations to a platform like Rumble,” said DJ Akademiks. “There have been many bad decisions at larger platforms where they haven’t put creators first and they are disconnected to the community. I feel now is an inflection point for streaming platforms. I couldn’t be more excited to lead this effort on a platform that puts creators first.”
