CONFESSION | Official Trailer

AkademiksTV, also known as Grand Wizard, has one of the most documented records of targeting and dehumanizing Black artists on the internet. And the person running it? George Nguyen, an Australian national of Vietnamese descent TMZ who named himself after a racial slur he has no business using, with zero connection to Black American culture, built an entire brand off attacking it from the outside! The operation traces directly back to DJ Akademiks, a Jamaican-American man who built his name and his money off Black culture and has been using both to platform and amplify this campaign against the very artists and community that made him relevant. Akademiks confirmed AkademiksTV is run by “heavy Drake fans” operating as a direct extension of his platform, which means every fabricated story, every racist post, every attack on a Black artist’s family carries his co-sign on it! The racism from Akademiks himself is not a rumor. Rolling Stone documented that in his “War In Chiraq” YouTube series, which remains publicly available, he called Chicago a “cesspool of coons that live and breathe like cockroaches,” declared that young Black people there “aren’t human,” and said “you can’t tell me the difference between Chiraq terrorists and the ISIS terrorist group.” That is the ideological foundation this entire operation was built on and George Nguyen has been the digital foot soldier carrying that same energy through AkademiksTV ever since. The attacks on Black women connected to this platform are just as documented. Akademiks went on Rumble and called SZA “fat as fuck” and a “double-chin chick,” said “the titties is not looking tiddying” and told her “the doctors, the surgeons can’t fix you” and when Erykah Badu checked him, he responded by calling her a “little used up cum rag” and said “not one n**ga came to your defense, that’s how I know you’ve been spreading the pussy all over the industry.” Two of the most legendary Black women in music, treated like that, on a platform that millions of people consume daily and that AkademiksTV directly amplifies and cosigns. The legal consequences are now federal. Nguyen is named in a lawsuit accusing him of interacting with bot vendors and overseeing botting and clipping campaigns across social media platforms, compensated through the gambling platform Stake, with the filing explicitly stating the funds were used to “disparage competitors and music label executives” and “distort recommendation algorithms.” The word disparage written into a federal complaint is the legal description of what this page does to Black artists every single day and while all of this was happening, Akademiks was caught making sexually suggestive remarks directed at a 15-year-old on stream and was forced to publicly say “I am wrong, I will be better.” This is the full picture of what Black culture has been funding through AkademiksTV. A non-Black outsider running a documented slander operation, backed by a man who called Black children cockroaches, body-shamed Grammy winners on camera and called legends of the culture cum rags, all while collecting a check from the same community he’s helping destroy!
