DJ Akademiks Sued for Rape and Defamation

DJ Akademiks (né Livingston Allen) was accused by Fauziya Abashe of rape and defamation. She alleges the 'Off the Record' podcaster raped her in July 2022. "Ms. Abashe was left no choice other than to file. Mr. Allen's hubris will be his downfall," the plaintiff's attorney said in a statement.

Internet personality DJ Akademiks has been accused of sexual assault and defamation, per court filings obtained by PEOPLE. She said that she met Allen the year before via social media, and they casually dated, but by July 2022, the two were not speaking when he reached out to her, per the Superior Court of New Jersey filing. Allen said in a Rumble live stream on Tuesday afternoon that the filing is a “shakedown,” adding, “This is a money tree situation,” reports Rolling Stone.
