The war of words between DJ Akademiks and Sneako has moved from stream insults to family trees. Akademiks has now accused Sneako of lying about being half Haitian, claiming the streamer's roots aren't what he has told fans for years. According to Akademiks, Sneako's grandfather was a Hungarian Jewish man who moved to Haiti, while his mother is Filipino. He went further, accusing Sneako of using that heritage as cover for his past comments, and claimed Sneako "lied about being half black to get a pass to be racist."

What Sneako has said about his background

Sneako, whose real name is Nico Kenn De Balinthazy, was born in New York City. He has long spoken about having Haitian and Filipino ancestry, and public biographies describe his father's side as Haitian with Ashkenazi Jewish roots.

That mix is exactly what Akademiks has now seized on. He accepts that the family has a link to Haiti through the grandfather's move there, but argues that this link doesn't make Sneako half Haitian in the way he has always described himself. None of the family details Akademiks shared have been independently verified.

What Akademiks claimed about Sneako's family

Akademiks was blunt about it. He claimed Sneako's grandfather "wasnt actually Haitian," describing his father as "a Jewish man" and his mother as "a Filipino woman." He also shared a family photo alongside the claims.

He then tied the heritage question to Sneako's past use of racial slurs, alleging the streamer used it to justify saying the "hard R." Akademiks also mocked Sneako's turn to Islam, asking what his next move would be "after this Muslim arc."

Why the Akademiks and Sneako feud keeps escalating

The two have been trading shots for days. During a livestreamed group call with Adin Ross earlier this week, Sneako went after Akademiks and used racial slurs before Adin cut his camera. Akademiks has since made a string of claims about Sneako's private life, none of which have been verified, and the attacks have only grown more personal with each new round.

Fans are split on the latest round. "Sneako definitely picked the wrong person to make his enemy," one user wrote on X. Others felt bringing relatives into the fight had gone too far. "Posting family is crazy," another fan replied.
