DJ Akademiks Admits To Citizenship Fraud … Haters Call ICE

DJ Akademiks may have talked himself into serious trouble during a recent livestream — and now the internet is buzzing, and not in a good way.

The outspoken media personality and podcaster, known for his raw commentary and viral moments, is under fire after seemingly admitting to citizenship fraud while speaking about his family’s immigration story. In the stream, Akademiks claimed that his mother obtained U.S. citizenship by paying a man to marry her, implying that it was a business arrangement rather than a legitimate marriage.

He went on to say that the man later “scammed them” and tried to back out of the deal — but not before Akademiks and his mother had already obtained citizenship.

Under U.S. federal law, this kind of arrangement — if done to intentionally mislead the government for immigration benefits — can fall under citizenship fraud, a serious offense. The consequences can include revocation of naturalization and even deportation if authorities determine fraud occurred.

After clips of the livestream began circulating, popular podcaster Tasha K posted a reaction on her platform, calling out Akademiks and questioning whether the admission could open the door for legal action. Tasha’s post has since gone viral, and dozens of people have reportedly contacted ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), urging them to investigate the matter.

For someone like Akademiks — who’s made a name for himself stirring drama, clapping back at critics, and dissecting celebrity scandals — this might be his most personal controversy yet.

What makes the situation even messier is how casually the comment was made. What may have been intended as a moment of storytelling or unfiltered honesty quickly turned into a potential legal issue — and social media users wasted no time dissecting every word.

“This man just admitted to citizenship fraud on camera like it was a punchline,” one user tweeted. “He better call a lawyer.”

“Not people calling ICE like it’s customer service,” joked another.

But behind the jokes is a real possibility of consequences. Immigration fraud cases are rare but serious, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and ICE have the authority to reopen old cases if new evidence surfaces.

So far, Akademiks hasn’t issued a follow-up statement or tried to clarify his comments — but that silence is only adding fuel to the speculation.

Whether or not anything comes of this legally, the moment is a reminder that in the age of livestreams and digital receipts, what you say online can and will be used against you — especially when it involves federal law.

As it stands, DJ Akademiks is facing the court of public opinion — and now, possibly, more than just that. Whether ICE takes action remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the internet doesn’t forget, and the haters don’t sleep.
