Looks like Fat Joe had a few words for Dj Akademiks after he asked Lil Durk if he felt like Gunna was a snitch or not.
“He made him answer what he thought about Gunna,” Joe said about Akademiks. “That’s the oldest trick in the book in Hip Hop journalism. Now, Durk jumps out and says, ‘No, I’m not.’ Now these two people don’t like each other for the rest of their life.”

He then went on to compare Akademiks questioning a tactic that the media would use back in the day to stir up more problems between rappers. “This is the type of entrapment, East-Coast West Coast beef, VIBE magazine, The Source magazine sh*t they been doing,” he added. “Here, we stay in the light. We want to hear positive things about everybody.”

As we all know, a lot of people feel like Gunna cooperated with authorities to get out of Fulton County Jail for the YSL Rico trial that has been going on for months. Akademiks asked Lil Durk in a new interview on his platform, Off The Record about if the Chicago rapper felt like Gunna is a rat. “[You] should’ve went in there and kept your mouth closed,” the hitmaker said of his “What Happened to Virgil” collaborator. “If you a rat, I f**king hate you. ‘Cause I love Thug.”
Since Gunna has been released from jail he has been pretty quiet about the rumors but he did released a statement to make it clear that he did not cooperate with the law.
“While I have agreed to always be truthful, I want to make it perfectly clear that I have NOT made any statements, have NOT been interviewed, have NOT cooperated, have NOT agreed to testify or be a witness for or against any party in the case and have absolutely NO intention of being involved in the trial process in any way,” the statement read.
As part of his plea agreement, Gunna was sentenced to five years in prison with one year served. The additional four years of the sentence were reportedly “suspended.” He is also required to complete community service.
