While I agree with LL I'm not sure responding was worth it. As a rule you cannot and should not respond to disingenuous people. What may have just been a throwaway line/diss/bs from Ak will now become a topic he dedicates a long rant to, and whether he believes what he is saying or not is never clear because he's in the content game. That game requires you to be as loud and obnoxious as possible because that's what goes viral and makes you money. So why entertain it?

At least shock jocks were firing at everyone, from presidents to kids with cancer lmao. Ak won't say shyt about someone if he wants to keep the relationship (Drake). Same with Budden and all these guys.

While this is true, I'm sure LL doesn't have all this background info to go off. I'm sure it was a clip and someone brought it to LL's attention, and it inspired himt o respond. I doubt he follows Ak to know how he gets down or how he makes flippant statements on his Twitch streams.

My thoughts exactly. He'll most likely reiterate what was said but in a louder, more obnoxious, tone and probably find something embarrassing from LL's past.

No, LL is a visible link to the old school. Smart for him to clarify/educate the ones who don't know. Was done more for their benefit than anything else.

when you feed the trolls, it gives them views and a bigger platform. Guys like Academics, CTG, and many others have achieved fame and wealth by saying outlandish shyt they KNOW others will respond to. The only way to kill a trill is to ignore them. Look at Wendy Williams.. Since she's lost her show and no one talks about her, she's faded away.
