Offset caught in gambling speculation following DJ Akademiks remarks

DJ Akademiks claims Offset’s alleged gambling addiction could spiral and harm his career if unchecked long-termly

DJ Akademiks has raised concerns about Offset’s well-being, claiming the rapper’s alleged gambling addiction could seriously damage his career if it continues unchecked.

The media personality made the remarks during a recent livestream, where he suggested the former Migos member may need professional help to address what he described as escalating vices.

According to Akademiks, Offset’s rumored gambling habits have allegedly begun influencing his personal and professional decisions. He claimed the situation has placed the rapper in compromising environments that could negatively impact both his public image and his responsibilities to his family. Akademiks emphasized that Offset’s status and success make these alleged behaviors particularly concerning, warning that unchecked addiction could lead to significant losses.

The comments quickly circulated online, adding to ongoing speculation surrounding Offset’s finances and lifestyle. As of publication, Offset has not publicly responded to Akademiks’ claims or addressed the allegations directly.

This is not the first time Offset has faced rumors related to gambling. In early 2025, rapper Lil Tjay accused Offset of owing him $10,000, alleging the money was loaned to Offset during a casino outing. Lil Tjay claimed Offset was desperate to continue gambling at the time, sharing screenshots of private messages to support his accusations. Offset later denied being broke, dismissing the disputed amount as insignificant and characterizing it as “lunch money.”

Despite the public back-and-forth, it remains unclear whether that dispute was ever resolved. Offset has continued releasing music and making appearances, though online discussion around his alleged gambling habits has persisted.

While none of the claims have been substantiated, the renewed attention sparked by DJ Akademiks’ comments highlights how personal rumors can quickly escalate into broader conversations about an artist’s career stability. For now, Offset’s silence leaves fans and observers speculating as the story continues to develop.
