DJ Akademiks has a blunt message for the Clover Boyz. In his view, they had it made and threw it away. As the group continues to fall apart around Kai Cenat, Akademiks argued that most of the opportunities its members got were tied directly to Kai."If you or the Clover Boys got some brand deal," he said, "it probably was kinda on Kai's name." All they had to do, according to Akademiks, was stay out of trouble while Kai brought in the money. Instead, he believes the chaos around the group cost everyone.

Akademiks says Dezz, Tylil, Rakai, and the other Clover Boyz members are dumb and ungrateful for fumbling the biggest bag of their lives, because they're a huge brand risk for Kai Cenat ???? “If you or the Clover boyz got a brand deal it was probably kinda was on Kai's name” https://t.co/FPCS7zFEAt

Akademiks explains the plan the Clover Boyz fumbled

Akademiks laid out what he thinks the setup was supposed to look like. Kai lands the major partnerships with brands like McDonald's and Nike, and the people around him benefit.

"The plan was, y'all was supposed to keep it clean while Kai brings in the ton load of the bag," he said. He then put rough numbers on it, suggesting Kai could bring in a hundred million while the group shared what was left over. "Y'all was supposed to be happy bussing down the fifteen million," Akademiks said. "That's the plan."He pointed to Kai's Mafiathon streams as an example, noting they are sponsored by big names like DoorDash, Starbucks and McDonald's. In that kind of setting, he said, there is no room for slurs on stream. "All y'all had to do was chill out and do PG-13 sh*t," he said.

Akademiks believes the group's behavior"probably prevented these deals from coming through." "You gotta be honest," he added. "You gotta take a little bit of accountability." He also took issue with how some former members now talk about Kai. "It kinda does hurt my heart that y'all trying to make Kai seem like he's the mother hen," he said.

What's going on with the Clover Boyz?

The group has been unraveling for weeks. Reggie left in late September and later called out Kai and several members. Ray announced his own exit in early October.

Tylil was removed from the group and has claimed he has damaging information about Kai, which Kai has denied. Dezz has also claimed that Kai stopped speaking to the group. On November 9, during a GTA stream, Kai said he was tired of the drama and told people to leave him and those around him alone.
